NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
2000 STOCK PLAN
(Amended and Restated January 17, 2019)

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

(A)    Name of Grantee:                
(B)    Number of Restricted Stock Units:        
(C)    Grant Date:                    
(D)    Vesting Commencement Date:            
(E)    Award Number:                

This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including any exhibit, appendix or
addendum hereto (the “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of the date set
forth in Item C above between Nuance Communications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) and the person named in Item A above (“Grantee”).

THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1.
Restricted Stock Units. Pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Stock Plan, as amended
from time to time (the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit A, the Company hereby grants to Grantee the number of Restricted Stock
Units listed in Item B above on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in
the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan being hereby incorporated into
this Agreement by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and
conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms
and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Capitalized terms used and not defined
in this Agreement will have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

2.
Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to
receive one share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (“Share”)
after the Restricted Stock Unit has vested. Unless and until the Restricted
Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Section 3, Grantee will
have no right to receive the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units. Prior
to the actual issuance of any Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, such
Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company,
payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

3.
Vesting. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the
Restricted Stock Units shall vest in accordance with the provisions set forth on
Exhibit B, subject to Grantee’s continuing to be an employee, director or
consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate (a “Service Provider”) through each
vesting date. For the avoidance of doubt, Grantee would no longer be considered
a Service Provider if Grantee’s employer ceases to be controlled or
majority-owned by the Company, in which case the Restricted Stock Units will be
forfeited unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, in its discretion.

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

4.
Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate
the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the
unvested 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
vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.

5.
Forfeiture upon Termination as Service Provider. If Grantee terminates service
as a Service Provider, for any or no reason, prior to vesting, Grantee’s right
to acquire Shares pursuant to such unvested Restricted Stock Units awarded by
this Agreement will immediately terminate.

6.
Payment After Vesting. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with
Sections 3 or 4, or otherwise vest in accordance with the terms of the Plan,
will be settled by the Company issuing Shares to Grantee, subject to the
provisions of Section 8 below. The settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units
will be completed by the issuance of the appropriate number of Shares as soon as
practicable after vesting, but in each such case no later than the 15th day of
the third month following the end of the Company’s tax year that includes each
applicable vesting date.

Any distribution or delivery to be made to Grantee under this Agreement will, if
Grantee is then deceased, be made to Grantee’s designated beneficiary (if
Grantee is permitted to and designates a beneficiary under the Plan). If no
beneficiary is designated (including if the Company does not permit Grantee to
make a beneficiary designation) or if the Company determines, in its discretion,
that the beneficiary designation is not valid or enforceable under any
applicable laws or regulations, or if no beneficiary survives Grantee, then such
distribution or delivery will be made to the administrator or executor of
Grantee’s estate. Any such beneficiary, administrator or executor must furnish
the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as a beneficiary,
administrator or executor, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to
establish the validity of the distribution or delivery to be made to such
beneficiary, administrator or executor and compliance with any laws or
regulations pertaining thereto.

7.
Rights as Stockholder. Neither Grantee nor any person claiming under or through
Grantee 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
Grantee.

8.
Taxes.

a.
Responsibility for Taxes. Grantee acknowledges that, regardless of any action
taken by the Company or, if different, Grantee’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 Grantee’s
participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Grantee as a result of
participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related

2

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

Items”) is and remains Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount (if
any) withheld by the Company or the Employer. Grantee further acknowledges that
Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding
the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the
Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant of the
Restricted Stock Units, the vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock
Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at
vesting / settlement and the receipt of any dividend equivalents or dividends,
if applicable; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to
structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to
reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any
particular tax result. Further, if Grantee is subject to Tax-Related Items in
more than once jurisdiction, Grantee 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 once jurisdiction.

b.
Withholding. Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as
applicable, Grantee agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to
satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Grantee authorizes the Company
and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy
their withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a
combination of the following:

i.
withholding from Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation otherwise payable to
Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer; and/or

ii.
requiring Grantee to tender a payment in cash (or the cash equivalent) in an
amount equal to the Tax-Related Items to the Company or its designee; and/or

iii.
withholding from the proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement
of the Restricted Stock Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a
mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this
authorization without further consent); and/or

iv.
withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock
Units, provided, however, that if Grantee is an officer of the Company within
the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold in
Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, unless the
use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities
law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the
Committee (as constituted to satisfy Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) will
determine which of the other withholding methods set out in this Section 8(b)
will be used; and/or

v.
any other method determined by the Company and permitted under applicable laws.

3

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

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for
Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates
or other applicable withholding rates, including applicable maximum rates in
Grantee’s jurisdiction, in which case Grantee may receive a refund of any
over-withheld amount in cash and will not be entitled to the equivalent amount
in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding
in Shares, for tax purposes, Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full
number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding
that a number of Shares that are held back solely for the purpose of paying the
Tax-Related Items.

The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares or the proceeds from the sale of
the Shares if Grantee fails to comply with Grantee’s obligations in connection
with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

c.
Section 409A. This Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder
are intended to meet the “short-term deferral” exception to the provisions of
Section 409A of the Code and U.S. Department of Treasury regulations issued
thereunder or to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code and the U.S.
Department of Treasury regulations and guidance issued thereunder, to the extent
applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the
contrary, this Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall
be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company and its affiliates shall not be required to assume any
increased economic burden in connection therewith. Neither the Company or any of
its Affiliates, nor any of their respective directors, officers, managers,
employees or advisers shall be liable to Grantee (or any other individual
claiming a benefit through Grantee) for any tax, interest, or penalties Grantee
might owe as a result of this Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units granted
hereunder, or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or
this Agreement, the Company reserves the right, but is not obligated, to revise
this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and
without the consent of Grantee, to comply with Section 409 of the Code or to
otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under
Section 409A of the Code in connection with this grant of Restricted Stock
Units; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation that this
Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder will be exempt from,
or will comply with, Section 409A of the Code, and makes no undertakings to
preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to this Agreement and the
Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder or to ensure that it complies with
Section 409A of the Code.

9.
Assignment; Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations set forth in this
Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives, and successors of the

Agreement.

Plan shall not give Grantee any right to receive any other grant under the Plan.
This grant of Restricted Stock Units is not an employment contract and nothing
in this grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be deemed to create in any way
whatsoever any obligation on Grantee’s part to continue in the employ or service

(as applicable) to continue Grantee’s employment or service relationship.

15.

determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of
the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any law (including any U.S.
federal or state or any non-U.S. law), or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to
the issuance of Shares to Grantee, such issuance will not occur unless and until
such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.

17.

Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to
interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the

actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the

6

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

and conditions of this Agreement and any other documents related to the Plan. If

Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and to
participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and

22.
Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Grantee acknowledges that he or
she may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in

Grantee’s country of residence, which may affect Grantee’s ability to directly

Restricted Stock Units) under the Plan during such times as Grantee is
considered to have “insider information” regarding the Company (as defined by
the laws in the applicable jurisdictions). Any restrictions under these laws or
regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be

undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

25.
Waiver. Grantee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

NON-U.S. AND COUNTRY-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

Terms and Conditions
This Exhibit C includes special terms and conditions applicable to Grantee if
Grantee resides outside the U.S. and, as applicable, in one of the countries
listed below. These terms and conditions supplement or replace (as indicated)
the terms and conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to
which it is attached. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Exhibit C
will have the meanings set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or the
Plan, as applicable.

Notifications

This Exhibit C also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain
other issues of which Grantee should be aware with respect to his or her
participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control,
securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2019.
Such laws are often complex and change frequently. In addition, other laws and
regulations generally applicable to the acquisition, holding or disposal of
securities and financial instruments as well as cross-border fund transfers may
apply to Grantee. As a result, Grantee should not rely on the information noted
herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of
Grantee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date
at the time the Restricted Stock Units vest or Grantee receives or sells Shares.

In addition, the information in this Exhibit C is general in nature and may not
apply to Grantee’s particular situation. The Company is not in a position to
assure Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, Grantee should seek
appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Grantee’s country
apply to Grantee’s situation.

* * * * *

If Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which
Grantee is currently residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or
residency after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country
for local law purposes, the terms and conditions and information contained
herein may not be applicable to Grantee. The Company shall, in its sole
discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions herein shall apply
to Grantee in such a case.

13

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

Terms and Conditions for all Non-U.S. Grantees

Nature of Grant. By accepting the grant of Restricted Stock Units, Grantee
acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in
nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time to
the extent permitted in the Plan;

(b)    the grant of Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, 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 awarded in the past;

(c)    all decisions with respect to future grants of restricted stock units, if
any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)    Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(e)    the grant of Restricted Stock Units and any Shares subject to the
Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not intended
to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(f)    unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and
the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value
of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any
service Grantee may provide as a director of an Affiliate;

(g)    the future value of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units is
unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(h)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from
forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from Grantee’s termination 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 Grantee is
employed or the terms of Grantee’s employment agreement, if any);
(i)    for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, Grantee’s status as a Service
Provider will be considered terminated as of the date Grantee is no longer
actively providing services to the Company or one of its Affiliates (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 Grantee is employed or
the terms of Grantee’s employment agreement, if any) and, unless otherwise
expressly provided in the Agreement or determined by the Company,

14

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

Grantee’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any,
will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period
(e.g., Grantee’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 Grantee is employed or the terms of
Grantee’s employment agreement, if any); the Administrator shall have the
exclusive discretion to determine when Grantee is no longer actively providing
services for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, and
(j)    neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for
any exchange rate fluctuation between Grantee’s local currency and the United
States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any
amounts due to Grantee pursuant to the vesting and settlement of the Restricted
Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or
financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding
Grantee’s participation in the Plan or sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting
and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. Grantee should consult with his or
her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her
participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Data Privacy.

If Grantee would like to participate in the Plan, Grantee will need to review
the information provided in this Data Privacy section and, where applicable,
declare Grantee’s consent to the processing and/or transfer of personal data as
described below.

(a)    EEA+ Controller and Representative. If Grantee is based in the European
Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area, Switzerland or, if and when the United
Kingdom leaves the European Union, the United Kingdom (collectively “EEA+”),
Grantee should note that the Company, with its registered address at 1 Wayside
Road Burlington, MA 01803, United States of America, is the controller
responsible for the processing of Grantee’s personal data in connection with the
Agreement and the Plan. The Company’s representative in the EU is Nuance
Communications Ireland, Ltd, 20 Merrion Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland.

(b)    Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, uses and otherwise
processes certain personal data about Grantee, including, but not limited to,
Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth,
social insurance number, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident
registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or
directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any
other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested,
unvested or outstanding in Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from
Grantee, Grantee’s Employer or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or
the Plan (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing
the Plan and allocating Shares pursuant to the Plan.

15

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

If Grantee is based in the EEA+, the legal basis, where required, for the
processing of Data by the Company is the necessity of the data processing for
the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement,
(ii) comply with legal obligations established in the EEA+, or (iii) pursue the
legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of
the EEA+.

If Grantee is based outside of the EEA+, the legal basis, where required, for
the processing of Data by the Company is Grantee’s consent, as further described
below.

(c)    Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data
to E*TRADE Corporate Financial Services, Inc., and E*TRADE Securities LLC
(collectively, “E*TRADE”), an independent service provider, which is assisting
the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.
In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share
Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner. E*TRADE will open an
account for Grantee to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. Grantee
may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with
E*TRADE, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in
the Plan.

(d)    International Data Transfers. In the event Grantee resides, works or is
otherwise located outside of the U.S., Data will be transferred from Grantee’s
country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based.
Grantee understands and acknowledges that the U.S. might not provide a level of
protection of personal data equivalent to the level of protection in Grantee’s
country. The U.S. is subject to adequacy decisions by the European Commission
and Switzerland acknowledging that the U.S. provides an adequate level of
protection for personal data transferred to organizations in the United States
that have self-certified under the EU/U.S. and Swiss/U.S. Privacy Shield
Frameworks.

The Company is self-certified under the EU/U.S. and Swiss/U.S. Privacy Shield
Frameworks. If Grantee is based in the EEA+, Data will be transferred from the
EEA+ to the Company and onward from the Company to E*TRADE or, as the case may
be, a different service provider of the Company in the U.S. based on the
Company’s self‑certification under EU/U.S. Privacy Shield Framework or the
Swiss/U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.

If Grantee is based outside of the EEA+, the Company’s legal basis, where
required, for the transfer of Data from Grantee’s country to the Company and
from the Company onward to E*TRADE or, as the case may be, a different service
provider of the Company is Grantee’s consent, as further described below.

(e)    Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is
necessary to implement, administer and manage Grantee’s participation in the
Plan, or as

16

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

required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and
security laws.

(f)    Data Subject Rights. Grantee may have a number of rights under data
privacy laws in his or her jurisdiction. Depending on where Grantee is based and
subject to the conditions set out in applicable law, such rights may include the
right to request from the Company access to and rectification, erasure or

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

Notifications

Securities Law Information. Grantee is permitted to sell Shares acquired under

Units must be reported - generally at a nil cost- if the C$100,000 cost
threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property held by
Grantee. When Shares 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 Grantee owns other Shares, this
ACB may need to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. Grantee should
consult with his or her personal legal advisor regarding what reporting
obligations, if any, will apply to Grantee with respect to Shares acquired under

control requirements in China.

all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before
committing.

By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, consents to participate in the Plan and
acknowledges having received a copy of the Plan.

Grantee understands that, as a condition of the grant of the Restricted Stock
Units, the termination of Grantee’s employment for any reason will automatically
result in the forfeiture of any and all Restricted Stock Units that have not
vested as of the date of termination. In particular, Grantee understands and
agrees that any unvested Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited without
entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount as indemnification in the
event of a termination of Grantee’s employment prior to vesting by reason of,

Furthermore, Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously
and discretionally decided to grant the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to
individuals who may be employees of the Company or an Affiliate throughout the
world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express
assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind
the Company or any Affiliate on an ongoing basis (other than as set forth in

Restricted Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the
Restricted Stock Units and the related Shares shall not become a part of any
employment or contract (either with the Company or any Affiliate) and shall not
be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance
compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, Grantee understands
that the grant of the Restricted Stock Units would not be made to Grantee but
for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Grantee 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 the grant of
Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void.
