COHERENT, INC.
2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
1.Grant.  The Company hereby grants to the Employee named in the Notice of Grant
of Award and Award Agreement (the “Notice of Grant”) an award of Restricted
Stock Units (“RSUs”), as set forth in the Notice of Grant, subject to the terms
and conditions in this agreement, including any country-specific terms and
conditions for the Employee’s country contained in the appendix attached hereto
(the “Appendix” and, together with the Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement,
the “Agreement”) and in the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning
set forth in the Plan.
2.    Company’s Obligation.  Each RSU granted represents the right to receive
one Share on the vesting date.  Unless and until the RSUs vest, the Employee
will have no right to receive Shares under such RSUs.  Prior to actual
distribution of Shares pursuant to any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an
unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general
assets of the Company.
3.    Vesting Schedule.  The RSUs shall vest as set forth in the Notice of
Grant, subject to paragraph 4.
4.    Forfeiture upon Termination as a Service Provider.   Notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant, if the Employee
terminates service as a Service Provider for any or no reason prior to vesting,
the unvested RSUs awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no
cost to the Company. For purposes of the RSUs, the Service Provider's service
will be considered terminated as of the date that the Service Provider is no
longer providing services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (regardless
of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid
or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Employee is
employed or the terms of the Employee’s employment agreement, if any), and
unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the
Company, the Service Provider’s right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if
any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice
period (e.g., the Employee's period of service would not include any contractual
notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under
employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Employee is employed or the terms
of the Employee’s employment agreement, if any); the Company shall have the
exclusive discretion to determine when the Service Provider is no longer
providing services for purposes of the RSUs (including whether the Service
Provider may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of
absence).
5.    Settlement upon Vesting.  Any RSUs that vest in accordance with paragraph
3 will be distributed to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death,
to his or her estate) in Shares.
6.    Responsibility for Taxes.  The Employee acknowledges that, regardless of
any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Employee’s employer (the
“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance,
payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items
related to the Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to
the Employee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Employee’s responsibility
and may exceed the amount (if any) withheld by the Company or the Employer. The
Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no
representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items
in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the
grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the issuance of Shares upon settlement
of the RSU, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance,
and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do
not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or
any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for
Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the
Employee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Employee
acknowledges 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.

Page 1 of 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the
Employee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company
and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the
Company shall withhold in Shares otherwise deliverable to the Employee having a
Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld.
In the event that such withholding in Shares is problematic under applicable tax
or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, the
Employee authorizes 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:
a.    withholding from the Employee’s wages or cash compensation paid to the
Employee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
b.    withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon
vesting/settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a
mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Employee’s behalf pursuant to
this authorization).
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for
Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates
for withholding in Shares or, in connection with the sale of Shares, other
applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case
the Employee will receive a refund of any over-withheld cash proceeds and will
have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares. If the obligation for
Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the
Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the
vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely
for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items .
Finally, the Employee 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 the Employee’s participation in the Plan that
cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse
to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the
Employee fails to comply with the Employee’s obligations in connection with the
Tax-Related Items.
7.    Rights as Stockholder.  Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under
or through the Employee 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 will have been issued, recorded
on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and
delivered to the Employee or the Employee’s broker.
8.    Acknowledgements.  In accepting the grant of RSUs, the Employee
acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
a.    the Company (and not the Employer) is granting the RSUs and will
administer the Plan from the United States, which may be outside the Employee’s
country of residence; the RSU grant and the provisions of this Agreement will be
governed by, and subject to, the internal substantive laws, but not the choice
of law rules, of the State of California;
b.    the benefits and rights provided under the Plan, if any, are wholly
discretionary and do not constitute regular or periodic payments;
c.    the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
d.    the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of
same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
e.    the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of
same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of
calculating any severance, resignation, termination,

Page 2 of 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, leave-related payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar
payments;
f.    unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares subject
to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration
for, or in connection with, services the Employee may provide as a director of a
Subsidiary of the Company;
g.    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from
forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from the termination of the Employee’s service
as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever; and whether or not later found
to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the
Employee is employed or the terms of the Employee’s employment agreement, if
any);
h.    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and
cannot be predicted with certainty;
i.    the grant of the RSUs, and all decisions with respect to any future grant
of RSUs under the Plan, is at the complete discretion of the Company;
j.    the grant of the RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any
contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units,
or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units
have been granted in the past;
k.    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in
nature, and it may be modified, amended, suspended, or terminated by the Company
at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
l.    the grant of RSUs and the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not
create a right to employment or other service or be interpreted as forming an
employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary
of the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the
Employer or any Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, to terminate the
Employee’s employment or other service relationship (if any) at any time;
m.    unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion,
the RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any
entitlement to have the RSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by,
another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection
with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and
n.    neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall
be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Employee’s local
currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or
of any amounts due to the Employee pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the
subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
9.    Data Privacy.  The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents
to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the
Employee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant
materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its
Subsidiaries for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the
Employee’s participation in the Plan.
The Employee understands that the Company and its Subsidiaries may hold certain
personal information about the Employee, including, but not limited to, the
Employee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of
birth, passport, social insurance number or other identification number, salary,
nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details
of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised,
vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor (“Data”), for the
purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

Page 3 of 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Employee understands that Data will be transferred to a third party stock
plan administrator/broker or such other stock plan provider as may be selected
by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the
implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Employee
understands that these recipients of Data may be located in the United States or
elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have
different data privacy laws and protections than the Employee’s country. The
Employee understands that, if he or she resides outside the United States, he or
she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients
of Data by contacting the Employee’s local human resources representative.
The Employee authorizes the Company, any third party stock plan
administrator/broker and any other possible recipients which may assist the
Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and
managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in
electronic or other form, for the purpose of implementing, administering and
managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that
Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and
manage his or her participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that, if
he or she resides outside the United States, he or she 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
herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee’s local
human resources representative. Further, the Employee understands that he or she
is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Employee
does not consent, or if the Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent,
his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be
affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Employee’s consent
is that the Company would not be able to grant the Employee RSUs or other equity
awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Employee
understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the
Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the
consequences of the Employee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the
Employee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources
representative.
10.    No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal,
or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the
Employee’s participation in the Plan or the Employee’s acquisition or sale of
the underlying Shares.  The Employee should therefore consult with his or her
own personal tax, legal, and financial advisors regarding the Employee’s
participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
11.    Language.  The Employee has received the terms and conditions of this RSU
Agreement and any other related communications, and the Employee consents to
having received these documents in English. If the Employee has received this
Agreement or any other communications related to the Plan translated into a
language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is
different than the English version, the English version will control.
12.    Electronic Delivery & Acceptance.  The Company may, in its sole
discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Plan by electronic means.  The Employee hereby consents to
receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the
Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the
Company or a third party designated by the Company.
13.    Address for Notices.  Any notice to be given to the Company under the
terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company, in care of Stock Plan
Administration at Coherent, Inc., 5100 Patrick Henry Drive, Santa Clara, CA
95054 U.S.A., or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in
writing.
14.    Conditions for Issuance of Shares.  The Shares deliverable upon vesting
of the RSUs may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares or issued
Shares that have been reacquired by the Company.  The Company shall not be
required to issue any Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all the following
conditions:  (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges
on which the class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any
registration or other qualification of such Shares under any law or under the
rulings or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
or any other governmental regulatory body, whether in the United States or
elsewhere, which the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary
or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any
governmental agency, which the Company shall, in its absolute discretion,

Page 4 of 4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable
period of time following the date of vesting of the RSUs as the Company may
establish from time to time for legal or administrative reasons.
15.    Plan Governs.  This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of
the Plan.  In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this
Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan
shall govern. 
16.    Captions.  Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not
to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
17.    Agreement Severable.  In the event that any provision in this Agreement
shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from,
and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any
effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
18.    Modifications to the Agreement.  This Agreement (including any appendices
attached hereto) constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the
subjects covered.  The Employee expressly warrants that he or she is not
executing this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or
inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement
or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly
authorized officer of the Company.
19.    Governing Law and Venue.  The RSU grant and the provisions of this
Agreement will be governed by, and subject to, the internal substantive laws,
but not the choice of law rules, of the State of California.  For purposes of
litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship
of the parties evidenced by the grant or this Agreement, the parties hereby
submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California
and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Santa
Clara County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the
Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made
and/or to be performed.
20.    Appendix.  Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the RSU
grant shall be subject to any country-specific terms and conditions set forth in
the Appendix for the Employee’s country.  Moreover, if the Employee relocates to
one of the countries included in the Appendix, the country-specific terms and
conditions for such country will apply to the extent the Company determines that
the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal
or administrative reasons.  The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
21.    Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to
impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the
RSUs, and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company
determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and
to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that
may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
22.    Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the
Plan, the Employee agrees to comply with the Company’s policy on insider trading
(to the extent that it is applicable to the Employee). Further, the Employee
acknowledges that the Employee may be subject to insider trading restrictions
and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Employee’s ability to acquire or
sell Shares or rights to Shares under the Plan during such times as the Employee
is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by
the laws in the Employee’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or
regulations are separate from and in addition to any restriction that may be
imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Employee
acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable
restrictions.
23.    Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. The Employee acknowledges
that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements
which may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold the Shares acquired under
the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any
dividends paid on the Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside his or her
country. The Employee may be required to report such accounts, assets or
transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Employee
also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a
result of participating in the Plan to his or her country through

Page 5 of 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a designated bank or broker within a certain time from receipt. The Employee
acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such
regulations.
24.    Waiver. The Employee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach
of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the
Employee or any other Participants.

 2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
APPENDIX

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the
meanings set forth in the Plan, the Notice of Grant and/or the Global Restricted
Stock Unit Agreement.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSUs
granted to the Employee under the Plan if the Employee works and/or resides in
one of the countries listed below. 
In accepting the grant of RSUs, the Employee acknowledges, understands and
agrees that:
1.
If the Employee is employed by a Subsidiary, the RSUs and the Shares subject to
the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected
compensation for any purpose; and

2.
If the Employee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in
which the Employee is currently residing and/or working (or is considered as
such for local law purposes), or if the Employee transfers employment and/or
changes residency to a different country after the RSUs are granted, the Company
will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions
contained herein will be applicable to the Employee.

NOTIFICATIONS
This Appendix also includes information regarding certain other issues of which
the Employee should be aware with respect to the Employee’s participation in the
Plan. Such information is based on the securities, exchange control and other
laws in effect in the respective countries as of October 2016. Such laws are
often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly
recommends that the Employee not rely on the information contained in this
Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the
Employee’s participation in the Plan, because the information may be out-of-date
at the time the Employee vests in the RSUs or sells any Shares acquired upon
such vesting.
In addition, the information contained in this Appendix is general in nature and
may not apply to the Employee’s particular situation and, as a result, the
Company is not in a position to assure the Employee of any particular result.
Accordingly, the Employee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how
the relevant laws in the Employee’s country may apply to the Employee’s
individual situation.
If the Employee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in
which the Employee is currently residing and/or working, is considered a
resident of another country or transfers employment and/or changes residency to
another country after the RSUs are granted, the information contained in this
Appendix may not be applicable to the Employee.
BELGIUM
NOTIFICATIONS
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Belgian residents are required to
report any securities (i.e., Shares acquired under the Plan) or bank accounts
(including brokerage accounts) held outside of Belgium on their annual tax
returns. Belgian residents are also required to complete a separate report
providing the National Bank of Belgium with

Page 7 of 7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

details regarding any such account, including the account number, the name of
the bank in which such account is held and the country in which such account is
located.
CANADA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Form of Settlement. Notwithstanding any discretion contained in Section 13 of
the Plan or anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the RSUs are payable in
Shares only.
Termination of Employment. The following provisions replaces paragraph 4 of the
Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:
Forfeiture upon Termination as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant, if the Employee terminates
service as a Service Provider for any or no reason prior to vesting, the
unvested RSUs awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost
to the Company. For purposes of the RSUs, the Service Provider’s service will be
considered terminated as the last day on which the Service Provider is actively
employed by or providing services to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company,
and shall not include or be extended by any period following such day during
which the Employee is in receipt of or eligible to receive any notice of
termination, pay in lieu of notice of termination, severance pay or any other
payments or damages, whether arising under statute, contract or at common law;
the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Service
Provider is no longer providing services for purposes of the RSUs (including
whether the Service Provider may still be considered to be providing services
while on a leave of absence).
The following provisions apply for residents of Quebec:
English Language Provision.  The parties acknowledge that it is their express
wish that this Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal
proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating
directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.
Les parties reconnaissent avoir expressement souhaité que la convention
[“Agreement”], ainsi que tous les documents, avis et procédures judiciaries,
éxecutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou lié, directement ou indirectement à
la présente convention, soient rédigés en langue anglaise.
Data Privacy.  The following provisions supplement paragraph 9 of the Global
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:
The Employee hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to
discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel,
professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. 
The Employee further authorizes the Employer, the Company (or any of its
Subsidiaries) and the Administrator to disclose and discuss the Plan with their
advisors.  The Employee further authorizes the Employer, the Company and any
Subsidiary of the Company to record such information and to keep such
information in his or her employee file.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The Employee will not be permitted to sell or
otherwise dispose of the Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs within Canada.
The Employee will only be permitted to sell or dispose of any Shares acquired
under the Plan if such sale or disposal takes place outside of Canada on the
facilities on which such Shares are traded (i.e., on the NASDAQ stock market).
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Employee is required to report
any foreign property that he or she may hold outside Canada (including Shares
acquired under the Plan) annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification
Statement) if the total value of such foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any
time during the year. Foreign property includes Shares and rights to receive
Shares (e.g., RSUs). Thus, RSUs must be reported (generally at nil cost) if the
C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified
property. When the Shares

Page 8 of 8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the
Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the Fair Market Value of the Shares at
the time of acquisition, but if other Shares are also owned, this ACB may have
to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. The form T1135 must be filed
with the Employee’s annual tax return by April 30 of the following year for
every year during which his or her foreign property exceeds C$100,000.
CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Form of Settlement. The operation of employee share plans in China may be
subject to Article 18 of the implementing Rules of the Measures for
Administration of Foreign Exchange of Individuals or other rules issued by the
State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("Exchange Control Laws"). The Employee
understands and agrees that, if he or she is subject to such Exchange Control
Laws (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion), he or she will not
receive any Shares upon the vesting of the RSUs, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement or the Plan. Instead, the Employee (or any transferee
permitted under the Plan) will receive through local payroll an amount of cash
equal to the Fair Market Value of the number of RSUs that vest on the applicable
vesting date.
FINLAND
There are no country-specific provisions.
FRANCE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Consent to Receive Information in English.  By accepting the RSUs, the Employee
confirms having read and understood this Appendix, the Agreement and the Plan,
including all terms and conditions included therein, which were provided in the
English language.  The Employee accepts the terms of those documents
accordingly.
En acceptant les RSUs, le Employee confirme avoir lu et compris cette Appendix,

report such securities or account to the French tax authorities when filing his
or her annual tax return.
GERMANY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Data Privacy.  The following provisions supplement paragraph 9 of the Global
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:
The Employee understands that the Employer, the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries may hold certain personal information about the Employee,
including, but not limited to, the Employee’s name, home address, email address,
and telephone number, date of birth, passport, social insurance number or other
identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality,
job title, any Shares or directorships that the Employee holds in the Company,
details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled,
exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor (“Data”), for
the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s
participation in the Plan.
The Employee also understands that providing the Company with Data is necessary
for the performance of the Plan and that the Employee’s refusal to provide Data
would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations
and may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. The Controller
of personal data processing is Coherent, Inc., 5100 Patrick Henry Drive, Santa
Clara, California 95054, USA, and, pursuant to D.lgs 196/2003, Coherent Italia,
with its registered offices at Via Borgese, 14, 20154 Milano, Italy.
The Employee understands that Data will not be publicized, but it may be
transferred to banks, other financial institutions or brokers involved in the
management and administration of the Plan. The Employee further understands that
the Company and its Subsidiaries will transfer Data amongst themselves as
necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of
the Employee’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to third parties assisting the
Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan,
including any requisite transfer to a broker or another third party with whom
the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan. Such
recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data in electronic or
other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the
Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that these
recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere, such as
the United States. Should the Company exercise its discretion in suspending all
necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of
the Plan, the Employee understands that the Company will delete the Employee’s
Data as soon as it has accomplished all the necessary legal obligations
connected with the management and administration of the Plan.
The Employee understands that Data processing related to the purposes specified
above shall take place under automated or non-automated conditions, anonymously
when possible, that comply with the purposes for which Data are collected and
with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and
regulations, with specific reference to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003.
The processing activity, including communication, the transfer of the Employee’s
Data abroad, including outside of the European Economic Area, as herein

Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:
The Employee hereby explicitly, voluntarily and unambiguously consents to the
collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Employee’s
personal data as described in the Agreement and any other Plan grant materials
by and among, as applicable, the Company, the Employer and any other Subsidiary
of the Company or any third parties authorized by the same in assisting in the
implementation, administration and management of the Employee’s participation in
the Plan. 
The Employee may have previously provided the Company and the Employer with, and
the Company and the Employer may hold, certain personal information about the
Employee, including, but not limited to, the Employee’s name, home address,
email address and telephone number, date of birth, passport, social insurance
number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any
shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, the fact and conditions of
the Employee’s participation in the Plan, details of all options or any other
entitlement to shares of stock awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested
or outstanding in the Employee’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of
implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
The Employee also authorizes any transfer of Data, as may be required, to such
stock plan service provider as may be designated by the Company in the future,
which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and
management of the Plan and/or with whom any Shares acquired upon vesting of the
RSUs are deposited (the “Designated Broker”).  The Employee acknowledges that
these recipients may be located in the Employee’s country or elsewhere, and that
the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data
privacy laws and protections to the Employee’s country, which may not give the
same level of protection to Data.  The Employee understands that the Employee
may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of
Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Employee
authorizes the Company, the Designated Broker and any other possible recipients
which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing,
administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan to receive,
possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the
purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation
in the Plan. The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is
necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’s participation in
the Plan. The Employee understands that he or she 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 herein, in
any case, without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee’s local human
resources representative, whose contact details are PengPeng.Tan@coherent.com.
 Further, The Employee understands that he or she is providing the consents
herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If the Employee does not consent, or if the
Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Employee’s employment
status or service and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only
consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be
able to grant future RSUs or other equity awards to the Employee or administer
or maintain such awards.  Therefore, the Employee understands that refusing or
withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate
in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Employee’s refusal
to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Employee understand that he or she may
contact the Employee’s local human resources representative.

(other than section 280) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chap. 289, 2006 Ed.)

Termination and Nature of Grant. The following provisions supplement paragraphs
4 and 8 of the Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:
In accepting the grant of RSUs, the Employee consents to participation in the

The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and
discretionally decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be
Employees of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company. The decision

Page 13 of 13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and
condition that any grant will not bind the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, the
Employee understands that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition
that the RSUs and any Shares issued upon the vesting of the RSUs are not part of
any employment or service contract (either with the Company or with a Subsidiary
of the Company) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any
purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.
Further, the Employee understands and agrees that, unless otherwise provided in
the Plan or the Agreement, the RSUs will be cancelled without entitlement to any
Shares underlying the RSUs if the Service Provider’s employment or service is
terminated for any reason, including, but not limited to: resignation,
retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary
dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause (i.e., subject to a
“despido improcedente”), material modifications of the terms of employment under
Article 41 of the Worker’s Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Worker’s
Statute, Article 50 of the Worker’s Statute, or under Article 10.3 of Royal
Decree 1382/1985. The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine the date
when the Service Provider’s employment or service has terminated for the purpose
of the RSUs.
In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the
Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the
Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the
assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any
reason, then any grant of, or right to, the RSUs shall be null and void.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined
under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory
in connection with the grant of the RSUs. Neither the Plan nor the Agreement
(which include this Appendix) has been nor will be registered with the Comisión
Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering
prospectus
Exchange Control Information.  Spanish taxpayers must declare the acquisition,
ownership and disposition of Shares in a foreign company (including Shares
acquired under the Plan) to the Spanish Dirección General de Comercio e
Inversiones (the “DGCI”), which is a department of the Ministry of Economy and
Competitiveness.  Generally, the declaration must be filed in January for Shares
owned as of December 31 of the prior year and/or Shares acquired or disposed of
during the prior year; however, if the value of Shares acquired or disposed of,
or the amount of the sale proceeds, exceeds €1,502,530, the declaration must be
filed within one month of the acquisition or disposition, as applicable.
In addition, the Employee may be required to electronically declare to the Bank
of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any
foreign instruments (including Shares acquired under the Plan), and any
transactions with non-Spanish residents (including any payments of Shares made
pursuant to the Plan), depending on the value of such accounts and instruments
and the amount of the transactions during the relevant year as of December 31 of
the relevant year.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. To the extent that the Employee
holds rights or assets (e.g., cash or Shares held in a bank or brokerage
account) outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of right or
asset as of December 31 of each year (or at any time during the year in which
the Employee sells or disposes of such right or asset), the Employee is required
to report information on such rights and assets on his or her tax return for
such year. After such rights or assets are initially reported, the reporting
obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any
previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000.

SWITZERLAND
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The grant of the RSUs under the Plan is not intended
to be publicly offered in or from Switzerland. Because the offering of the RSUs
under the Plan is considered a private offering in Switzerland, it is not
subject to registration in Switzerland. Neither the Agreement nor any other
materials relating to the grant of RSUs under the Plan constitute a prospectus
as such term is understood pursuant to article 652a of the Swiss Code of
Obligations, and neither the Agreement nor any other materials relating to the
grant of the RSUs under the Plan may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made
available in Switzerland. Further, neither the Agreement nor any other offering
or marketing material relating to the Plan has been or will be filed with,
approved or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority (in particular, the
Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (“FINMA”).
TAIWAN

UNITED KINGDOM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Form of Settlement. Notwithstanding any discretion contained in Section 13 of
the Plan or anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the RSUs are payable in
Shares only. This provision is without prejudice to the application of paragraph
6 of the Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.
Withholding Taxes.  The following provisions supplement paragraph 6 of the
Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:
If payment or withholding of income tax due is not made within 90 days of the
end of the U.K. tax year (April 6 - April 5) in which the event giving rise to
such income tax occurs or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of
the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the
amount of uncollected income tax will constitute a loan owed by the Employee to
the Employer, effective on the Due Date. The Employee agrees that the loan will
bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and
Customs (“HMRC”), it will be immediately due and repayable and the Company
and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means
referred to in paragraph 6.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive
officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange
Act), the Employee will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax
described above. In the event that the Employee is a director or executive
officer and the Employee’s income tax is not collected from or paid by the
Employee by the Due Date, such uncollected amounts may constitute a benefit to
the Employee on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions
(“NICs”) may be payable. The Employee will be responsible for reporting and
paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the
self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company and/or the Employer (as
appropriate) for the value of employee NICs due on this additional benefit which
the Company and/or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the
means referred to in paragraph 6.
