Dear
Mr. Miyamoto:

This Engagement Letter (this Letter) confirms the terms and conditions upon which you (the
Consultant) have been engaged by Comverse Technology, Inc. (the Company) to provide consulting and advisory services to the Company commencing January 5, 2010 (the Effective Date). The Company and the
Consultant hereby acknowledge that the Company and the Consultant have mutually agreed to terminate the Consultants employment with the Company and, upon termination, agreed that the Consultant shall render services to Company as a consultant
on the terms hereunder.

| | (d) | provide support for such other human resources-related tasks for the Company, Comverse, Inc., the subsidiaries of Comverse, Inc. assigned to you by the Companys
Chief Executive Officer;

in each case, under the direction of the Companys Chief Executive Officer. The Companys
Chief Executive Officer and the Consultant will identify the specific tasks and assignments for completion and will establish acceptable delivery timelines and deadlines.

During the Term, the Consultant shall provide the Consultant with the use of a blackberry and a laptop computer and adequate secretarial
support. Upon termination of this Letter, the Consultant shall promptly return to the Company the blackberry and computer and all other Company materials and property, including all forms of confidential information of the Company and its
affiliates.

During the Term, the Consultant shall devote a substantial amount of his business time to his consulting
obligations under this Letter; provided, however, that nothing in this Letter prevents the Consultant from providing consulting services to any other entity or person, in which case, the Consultant will, in good faith, discuss, appropriate
adjustments to the fees contemplated in this Letter.

The Company and the Consultant agree and acknowledge that the Consultant
will be on vacation and unavailable to provide services between March 5, 2010 through March 13, 2010. The Consultant will not be entitled to pay during this vacation time.



---

Section 2. Fees and Expenses. During the Term, the Company will pay the
Consultant for his consulting services hereunder a fee of $41,667.66 per month. During the Term, the Company also will reimburse the Consultant for all customary reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in connection with services
rendered hereunder (including travel to the Companys New York office and parking at the New York office); provided, however, that the Consultant shall seek pre-approval of any travel expenses to be incurred in connection with services
rendered hereunder. The Consultant will bill the Company monthly in arrears for services rendered by him (such invoice to provide reasonable detail as to the tasks performed) and the Company will make payments to the Consultant within thirty
(30) days after receipt of such invoices.

In addition, the Consultant will be entitled to a success fee of up to $50,000
based upon the achievement of certain objectives to be mutually agreed by the Company and the Consultant prior to January 11, 2010. Any success fee payable hereunder will be paid within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term.

Section 3. Termination of Engagement. The consulting term (the Term) will commence
January 5, 2010 and, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the following sentence, will terminate on July 2, 2010. The Consultants engagement hereunder may be terminated upon 30 days prior written notice by the Company or
the Consultant at any time, with or without cause. Upon delivering a notice of termination, the obligations of the Company to make payment hereunder and the obligations of the Consultant to provide services hereunder will continue until the
termination date set forth in the written notice. The Company shall pay to the Consultant any unpaid fees and the pro rata fee in respect of the work performed through the termination date within thirty (30) days after the presentation of
invoice in accordance with the terms of this Letter.

Section 4. Confidentiality. During the Term and
thereafter, the Consultant shall not disclose to anyone or make use of any trade secret or proprietary or confidential information of the Company or its affiliates, including such trade secret or proprietary or confidential information of any
customer or other entity to which the Company owes an obligation not to disclose such information, which he acquires during the consulting engagement term, including, without limitation, records kept in the ordinary course of business and the terms
of this Letter, except (i) as such disclosure or use may be required or appropriate in connection with his work as consultant to the Company, (ii) when required to do so by a court of law, governmental agency or administrative or
legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order him to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information or (iii) as to such confidential information that becomes generally known to the public or trade
without his violation of this section. Nothing herein shall preclude the Consultant from discussing or disclosing the Letter and/or any plan or other agreement referred to herein and/or any aspect of his compensation and/or benefits with his family
and/or his advisors or necessary to enforce this Letter.

Section 5. Scope of Responsibility; Limitation of
Liability. The Consultant shall not be liable to the Company or to any other person claiming through the Company for any claim, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense suffered by the Company or any such other person arising out of or related
to his engagement hereunder except for a claim, loss or expense that arises out of or is based upon any action or failure to act by him, other than an action or failure to act undertaken at the request or with the consent of the Company, that is
found in a final judicial determination (or a settlement tantamount thereto) to constitute bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on his part. In no event shall the Consultant be liable or responsible to the Company for any type of
incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, lost revenue and lost profits, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, whether arising under the theory of contract, tort (including negligence), and
strict liability. The Consultants liability under this Letter shall not exceed the amounts paid to the Consultant for services under the terms of Section 2 this Letter.

Section 6. Indemnity and Contribution. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold Consultant harmless to the full extent
lawful against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses

as incurred (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigation of, preparation for and defense of any
pending or threatened claim and any litigation or other proceeding arising therefrom, in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which the Company or the Consultant is a party) arising out of or related to his engagement hereunder;
provided, however, there shall be excluded from such indemnification any such claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses that arise out of or are based upon any action or failure to act by him, other than an action or failure to
act undertaken at the request or with the consent of the Company, that is found in a final judicial determination (or a settlement tantamount thereto) to constitute bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on his part.

In case any proceeding shall be instituted in respect of which the Consultant may seek indemnification, the Consultant shall promptly
notify the Company, but the failure to so notify Company will not relieve it from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the Companys rights with respect to such
proceeding. The Company may elect in writing to assume the defense of such action or proceeding and, upon such election, it shall not be liable for any legal costs subsequently incurred by the Consultant in connection therewith except as set forth
below. In any such proceeding, the Consultant shall have the right to retain his own counsel at his own expense, except that the Company shall pay as they are incurred the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Consultant in the event that
(i) the Company and the Consultant shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and the Consultant and
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Consultants counsel, due to actual or potential differing interests between them. So long as the Company has complied in full with its
obligations under this Letter, the Consultant shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

The Company will not, without
the Consultants prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle any litigation relating to the Consultants engagement hereunder unless such settlement includes an express, complete
and unconditional release of the Consultant with respect to all claims asserted in such litigation or relating to his engagement hereunder; such release to be set forth in an instrument signed by all parties to such settlement.

Section 7. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any claim, action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Letter or any of the matters contemplated hereby is waived. The Consultant and the Company hereby irrevocably consent to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in the County of New York, New York in connection with any dispute related to this Letter or any of the matters contemplated hereby and agree not to commence any such lawsuit, action or
other proceeding except in such courts. The Company further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to the Companys address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any lawsuit, action or other
proceeding brought against the Company in any such court. The Consultant and the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any lawsuit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Letter in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Courts located in the City of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such lawsuit,
action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Termination of Employment. The Consultants service as an officer and employee of the Company shall terminate immediately prior to the opening of business on the Effective Date.

This RELEASE (Release) dated as of

1. The Executive, on his own behalf and on behalf of his heirs, estate and beneficiaries, does
hereby release the Company, and in such capacities, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and each past or present officer, director, agent, employee, shareholder, and insurer of any such entities, from any and all claims made, to be made, or which
might have been made of whatever nature, whether known or unknown, from the beginning of time, including those that arose as a consequence of his employment with the Company, or arising out of the severance of such employment relationship, or
arising out of any act committed or omitted during or after the existence of such employment relationship, all up through and including the date on which this Release is executed, including, but not limited to, those which were, could have been or

accordance with the Companys By-laws, the Indemnification Agreement (as defined in Section 14 of the Employment Agreement), and other agreements or the law, as to continued coverage and rights under director and officer liability
insurance policies, or (ii) to the Executive and his eligible, participating dependents or beneficiaries under any existing group welfare, equity, or retirement plan of the Company in which the Executive and/or such dependents are participants.
