In the event the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any or no reason before the Participant vests in the Restricted Stock Units, the unvested Restricted Stock Units and the Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate, except as expressly provided for in the last sentence of the following paragraph.  
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Notice of Grant or the Agreement, in the event of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time), dated as of March 25, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), among HP Inc. (“HP”), Prism Subsidiary Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of HP (“Merger Sub”) and the Company whereby Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HP (the “Merger”), no time-based vesting conditions of this Award of Restricted Stock Units will be deemed accelerated or triggered as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger (it being understood that nothing in this sentence will supersede the terms of any arrangement referenced in the last sentence of this paragraph).   In connection with the Merger, each Restricted Stock Unit issued under this Notice of Grant will be treated as a Company Interim RSU (as that term is defined in the Merger Agreement).   For the avoidance of doubt, each Company Interim RSU will be treated in accordance with Section 2.03(e) of the Merger Agreement.  Each such Company Interim RSU will be subject to the terms of any change of control, acceleration or severance arrangement by and between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any Change of Control Severance Agreement, in effect as of March 25, 2022.
By the Participant’s acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions of the Plan, and hereby accepts this Agreement subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof.  The Participant has reviewed the Plan and this Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement.  The Participant agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan and or this Agreement.  The Participant further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence indicated above.
The Participant acknowledges and agrees that by clicking the “Accept” button on the E*TRADE on-line grant agreement response page, it will act as the Participant’s electronic signature to this Agreement and will constitute the Participant’s acknowledgment of and agreement with all of the terms and conditions of the Award, as set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.  The Participant may, if he or she prefers, sign, date and return to the Company a paper copy of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
1.Grant.  The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated in the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement, including the Data Privacy Notice and Consent attached hereto as Exhibit B, any applicable Country-Specific Terms attached hereto as Exhibit C, and the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.  Subject to Section 7.6 of the Plan, 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 will prevail.
2.Company’s Obligation to Pay.  Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests.  Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4, the Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units.  Prior to actual payment of any vested 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.  Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to the Participant satisfying any applicable Tax-Related Items as set forth in Section 7.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period ending no later than the later of the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the end of the (i) Fiscal Year or the (ii) calendar year, which in either case includes the vesting date.
3.Vesting Schedule.  Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant.  Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant to the date such vesting occurs.
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.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Participant on or within the six (6) month period following the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, unless the Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death.  It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Agreement or 
    -4- 

Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any proposed, temporary or final U.S. Treasury Regulations and U.S. Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.
5.Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company and the Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate.  The Participant will cease to be a Service Provider on the date the individual ceases to provide active services.  For purposes of this Agreement, the date of termination will not be extended by any notice period or non-working garden leave established under the laws in the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides or under the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any. The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer a Service Provider (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). 
6.Death of the Participant.  Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Participant under this Agreement will, if the Participant is then deceased, be made to the Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary (or legal representative for the Participants outside the U.S.) survives the Participant, the administrator, executor or legal representative of the Participant’s estate.  Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
7.Withholding of Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) 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, vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant 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.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Participant 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:  
    -5- 

(1)    withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or
(2)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or 
(3)    withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.  
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in my jurisdiction, in which case the Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Shares equivalent.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, the Participant 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 Participant’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 Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
8.Rights as Stockholder.  Neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant 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 Participant.  After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
9.No Guarantee of Continued Service.  THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING THE PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER.  THE PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THE PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING THE PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE THE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

(i)the Restricted Stock Units grant and the Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary; 
(j)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service the Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary;

(l)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever, and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of 
    -7- 

employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any; 
(m)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its sole discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefit transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares of the Company; and 
(n)neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
11.No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  The Participant is hereby advised to 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.
12.Address for Notices.  Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of Stock Administration at Plantronics, Inc., at 345 Encinal Street, Santa Cruz, California 95060, United States or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate U.S. or non-U.S. federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation.  The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such U.S. and non-U.S. local, state or federal law, securities exchange, and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.

The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

27.Foreign Asset and Account Reporting.

Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant places before possessing inside information.  Furthermore, the Participant may be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities (third parties include fellow employees).  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant further acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter. 
    -10- 

29.Waiver.  The Participant 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 Participant or any other participants.

EXHIBIT B 
DATA PRIVACY NOTICE AND CONSENT
The headquarters of the Company is located at 345 Encinal Street, Santa Cruz, California, USA 95060 and the Company grants employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates the opportunity to participate in the Plan, at the Company’s sole discretion. If the Participant would like to participate in the Plan and he or she resides outside the United States, the Participant understands that the Participant should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices and declare his or her consent.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement and the Plan. 
1.Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses the Participant’s personal data, which may include, without limitation, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, settled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Employer. If the Company offers the Participant the opportunity to participate in the Plan, then the Company will collect the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Participant’s personal data would be the Participant’s consent.
2.Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers participant data to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. (“E*TRADE”), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Participant’s data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan.  The Participant understand that he or she will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
3.International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. If the Participant is outside the United States, the Participant should note that his or her country has enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies only to the extent companies register for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program, which is open to companies subject to Federal Trade Commission jurisdiction. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data is the Participant’s consent. 
4.Data Retention. The Company will use the Participant’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. When the Company no longer needs the Participant’s personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.
    -12- 

5.Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. The Participant’s participation in the Plan and the Participant’s grant of consent is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant withdraws his or her consent, the Participant’s participation in the Plan will automatically terminate. This would not affect the Participant’s salary as a Service Provider or the Participant’s career; the Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
6.Data Subject Rights. The Participant understands that he or she has a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Participant’s country. Depending on where the Participant is based, his or her rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing, (v) portability of data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s country, and/or (vii) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Participant’s rights or to exercise his or her rights please contact the Company at Attn: Stock Administration at 345 Encinal Street, Santa Cruz, California, USA 95060.
If the Participant agrees with the data processing practices as described in this notice, the Participant should declare the Participant’s consent by clicking “Accept” on the E*TRADE online grant agreement response page.

If the Participant is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, or if the Participant transfers to another country after the Date of Grant, the Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the special terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Participant.
Notifications
These Country-Specific Terms also include information regarding securities, exchange controls, tax and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control, tax and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2019.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information noted in these Country-Specific Terms as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date by the time the Restricted Stock Units vests, Shares are issued, or the Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan. 
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result.  Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation.  
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, or if the Participant transfers to another country after the Date of Grant, then the information contained herein may not apply.

In the event of the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s right to receive and vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that is the earlier of (1) the date the Participant receives notice of termination from the Company or the Employer, or (2) the date the Participant is no longer a Service Provider regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under local law (including, but not limited to, statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law).

The Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan must be reported (generally at nil cost) if the C$100,000 is exceeded because of other property. Foreign specified property includes Shares acquired under the Plan and their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition but if the Participant holds other Shares (e.g., acquired under other circumstances or at another time), the ACB may be different. The Form T1135 must be filed by April 30 of the following year.

Consequently, the Participant understands that any Restricted Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  Further, the Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary Restricted Stock Units since the future value of the Restricted Stock Units and Shares is unknown and unpredictable.  In addition, the Participant understands that the Restricted Stock Units would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant 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 Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void.
Securities Law Information.  The Restricted Stock Units described in this document do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities.

UNITED KINGDOM
Withholding of Taxes.  This provision supplements Section 7 (Withholding of Taxes) in the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 7 of the Agreement, the Participant agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Participant’s behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the Participant understands that the Participant may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Participant within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs as it may be considered to be a loan and therefore, it may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable. The Participant understands that the Participant 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 paying to the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any National Insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from the Participant by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Agreement.

Vesting Schedule:

Subject to any acceleration provisions contained in the Plan or set forth below, the Restricted Stock Units will vest in accordance with the following schedule:
General

    The number of Restricted Stock Units that will become eligible for vesting as set forth below will depend upon (i) the Company’s Total Stockholder Return (as defined below) as compared to the Total Stockholder Return (as defined below) of the companies in the Index (as defined below) for the Performance Period (as defined below), (ii) the Company’s 1-Year Stockholder Return (as defined below) as compared to the 1-Year Stockholder Return (as defined below) of the companies in the Index for the 1-Year Performance Period (as defined below), and (iii) the Company’s 2-Year Stockholder Return (as defined below) as compared to the 2-Year Stockholder Return (as defined below) of the companies in the Index for the 2-Year Performance Period (as defined below), all as determined in accordance with this Agreement.

The “Performance Period” will begin on the first day of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year (the “Commencement Date”) and end on the last day of the Company’s 2025 fiscal year (the 
    -1-

“Anniversary Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing (and except as noted below), in the event of a Change in Control (other than the Merger), the Performance Period will be deemed to end five (5) business days prior to the consummation of such Change in Control (the “Closing”) (but subject to the occurrence of the Closing) for purposes of calculating the Company’s Total Stockholder Return and the Total Stockholder Return of the companies in the Index.  The first to occur of the Anniversary Date or the fifth (5th) business day prior to Closing is referred to herein as the “Period End Date”).  Further, and notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time), dated as of March 25, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), among HP Inc. (“HP”), Prism Subsidiary Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of HP (“Merger Sub”) and the Company whereby Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HP (the “Merger”), the provisions regarding treatment upon a Change in Control set forth in this paragraph and elsewhere in this Agreement will not apply to this Award of Restricted Stock Units and instead the provisions set forth below under “Merger with HP” will apply to this Award of Restricted Stock Units.

During the Performance Period, and provided that the Performance Period has not otherwise ended, there will be two additional performance periods.  The first additional performance period (the “1-Year Performance Period”) will begin on the Commencement Date and end on the last day of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year (the “1-Year Period End Date”).   The second additional performance period (the “2-Year Performance Period”) will begin on the Commencement Date and end on the last day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year (the “2-Year Period End Date”).
In the event the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any or no reason before the Participant vests in the Restricted Stock Units, the Restricted Stock Units and the Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate.  Any Restricted Stock Units that do not become Eligible Restricted Stock Units (as defined below) as of the Period End Date will terminate and be cancelled and the Participant will have no further rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units.

Vesting is subject to the Participant continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date, subject to the vesting acceleration provisions set forth below.

Performance Matrix

    The number of Restricted Stock Units that become eligible to vest (“Eligible Restricted Stock Units”) will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion within (i) sixty (60) days of the Anniversary Date, or in the event of a Change in Control (other than the Merger), within five (5) business days prior to Closing (the date the Committee takes action to make such determination, the “Determination Date”)) and will depend upon the Company’s Total Stockholder Return as compared to the Total Stockholder Return of the companies in the Index calculated as of the Period End Date as described herein, (ii) sixty (60) days of the 1-Year Period End Date (the date the Committee takes action to make such determination, the “1-Year Period Determination Date”)) and will depend upon the Company’s 1-Year Stockholder Return as compared to the 1-Year Stockholder Return of the companies in the Index calculated as of the 1-Year Period End Date as described herein, and (iii) sixty (60) days of the 2-Year Period End Date (the date the Committee takes action to make such determination, the “2-Year Period Determination Date”)) and will depend upon the Company’s 2-Year Stockholder Return as compared to the 2-Year Stockholder Return of the companies in the Index calculated as of the 2-Year Period End Date as described herein.
    -2-

The “Total Stockholder Return” for the Company or any company in the Index means the percentage increase or decrease in (A) the average adjusted closing price per share of such company’s common stock (or equivalent as determined by the Committee) during the ninety (90) trading day period ending on the Period End Date as compared to (B) the average adjusted closing price per share of such stock during the ninety (90) trading day period ending on the Commencement Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control (other than the Merger), the Company’s “Total Stockholder Return” means the annualized percentage increase or decrease in (A) the estimated per Share amount payable to the Company’s stockholders in connection with such Change in Control as compared to (B) the average adjusted closing price per Share during the ninety (90) trading day period ending on the Commencement Date.

The “1-Year Stockholder Return” for the Company or any company in the Index means the percentage increase or decrease in (A) the average adjusted closing price per share of such company’s common stock (or equivalent as determined by the Committee) during the ninety (90) trading day period ending on the 1-Year Period End Date as compared to (B) the average adjusted closing price per share of such stock during the ninety (90) trading day period ending on the Commencement Date.

The “2-Year Stockholder Return” for the Company or any company in the Index means the percentage increase or decrease in (A) the average adjusted closing price per share of such company’s common stock (or equivalent as determined by the Committee) during the ninety (90) trading day period ending on the 2-Year Period End Date as compared to (B) the average adjusted closing price per share of such stock during the ninety (90) trading day period ending on the Commencement Date.

The “Index” means the S&P Telecom Select Industry Index.  For purposes of calculating performance under this Agreement, the Company shall not be considered one of the constituent companies of the Index.
Please see Exhibit C for information relating to changes to companies listed in the Index during the Performance Period.
Eligible Restricted Stock Unit Calculation (Period End Date)
The Company’s Total Stockholder Return will be ranked against the Total Stockholder Return of the companies in the Index (each expressed as a growth rate percentage) to determine the number of eligible Restricted Stock Units.  The ranking will be calculated as of the Period End Date as follows:
    -3-

									
	Company’s Total Stockholder Return Percentile Ranking Relative to the Index*	Percentage of Target Number of Restricted Stock Units that Become Eligible Restricted Stock Units**	Number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units**
	At or above 75th Percentile
	200%	Maximum Number of Restricted Stock Units
	50th Percentile
	100%	Target Number of Restricted Stock Units
	Below 25th Percentile
	0%	0

* The number of Restricted Stock Units that will become Eligible Restricted Stock Units will be interpolated on a linear basis between the 25th percentile ranking and the 75th percentile ranking.  In addition, if the Company’s Total Stockholder Return is negative, then the number of Restricted Stock Units that become Eligible Restricted Stock Units is capped at 100% of the target.   The Percentage of Target Number of Restricted Stock Units that Become Eligible Restricted Stock Units will be rounded up to the nearest hundredth.
** Any fractional Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share and will be forfeited for no consideration.
In no event may more than 100% of the Maximum Number of Restricted Stock Units be Eligible Restricted Stock Units.  In addition, the number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units will be reduced by the number of Restricted Stock Units that became Eligible Restricted Stock Units on the 1-Year Period End Date and the 2-Year Period End Date and vested on the 1-Year Period Determination Date and the 2-Year Period Determination Date, as applicable and thereafter settled in accordance with Section 2 of Exhibit A.  
Eligible Restricted Stock Unit Calculation (1-Year Period End Date)
On the 1-Year Period End Date, provided that no Closing has occurred, 33% of the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units will be eligible to vest in accordance with the table below.  The Company’s 1-Year Stockholder Return will be ranked against the 1-Year Stockholder Return of the companies in the Index (each expressed as a growth rate percentage) to determine a number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units as follows: 
    -4-

									
	Company’s 1-Year Stockholder Return Percentile Ranking Relative to the Index*	Percentage of Target Number of Restricted Stock Units that Become Eligible Restricted Stock Units**	Number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units**
	At or above 50th Percentile
	33%	%%SHARES_PERIOD1,’999,999,999’%-%
	Below 25th Percentile
	0	0

* A maximum of 33% of the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units will become Eligible Restricted Stock Units on the 1-Year Period End Date.  The number of Restricted Stock Units that will become Eligible Restricted Stock Units on the 1-Year Period End Date will be interpolated on a linear basis between the 25th percentile ranking and the 50th percentile ranking. 
** Any fractional Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share and will be forfeited for no consideration.
Eligible Restricted Stock Unit Calculation (2-Year Period End Date)
On the 2-Year Period End Date, provided that no Closing has occurred, 150% of 33% of the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units will be eligible to vest in accordance with the table below.  The Company’s 2-Year Stockholder Return will be ranked against the 2-Year Stockholder Return of the companies in the Index (each expressed as a growth rate percentage) to determine a number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units as follows: 
									
	Company’s 2-Year Stockholder Return Percentile Ranking Relative to the Index*	Percentage of Target Number of Restricted Stock Units that Become Eligible Restricted Stock Units**	Number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units**
	At or above 75th Percentile

	Below 25th Percentile
	0	0

    -5-

* A maximum of 150% of 33% of the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units will become Eligible Restricted Stock Units on the 2-Year Period End Date.  Subject to such maximum, the number of Restricted Stock Units that will become Eligible Restricted Stock Units on the 2-Year Period End Date will be interpolated on a linear basis between the 25th percentile ranking and the 50th percentile ranking, and between the 50th percentile ranking and the 75th percentile ranking. 
** Any fractional Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share and will be forfeited for no consideration.
Vesting
Eligible Restricted Stock Units will be scheduled to vest in accordance with the following schedule, subject to the following paragraph and subject to the Participant remaining a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date:
•100% of the Restricted Stock Units that become Eligible Restricted Stock Units on the 1-Year Period End Date will vest on the 1-Year Period Determination Date.
•100% of the Restricted Stock Units that become Eligible Restricted Stock Units on the 2-Year Period End Date will vest on the 2-Year Period Determination Date.
•100% of the Restricted Stock Units that become Eligible Restricted Stock Units (minus that number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units that vested on the 1-Year Period Determination Date or the 2-Year Period Determination Date, if any) will vest on the Determination Date.
Examples
To demonstrate the 100% payout cap on the 1-Year Period End Date and the 150% payout cap on the 2-Year Period End Date, assume that the Participant’s Target Number of Restricted Stock Units is 3,000 and no Closing occurs before the Anniversary Date. On the 1-Year Period End Date, actual performance would have resulted in 1,500 Restricted Stock Units becoming Eligible Restricted Stock Units, but the number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units is capped at 1,000.  These 1,000 Eligible Restricted Stock Units vest on the 1-Year Period Determination Date.  On the 2-Year Period End Date, actual performance results in zero (0) Restricted Stock Units becoming Eligible Restricted Stock Units and therefore no Restricted Stock Units would vest on the 2-Year Period Determination Date.  Actual performance on the Period End Date would result in 500 Restricted Stock Units becoming eligible to vest, but after subtracting the Restricted Stock Units that became Eligible Restricted Stock Units in the 1- Year Performance Period and 2-Year Performance Period, zero (0) Restricted Stock Units would become Eligible Restricted Stock Units on the Period End Date and the remaining 2,000 Restricted Stock Units would terminate and no longer be eligible to be earned.  
To demonstrate the overachievement provision for the Performance Period, assume that the Participant’s Target Number of Restricted Stock Units is 3,000 and no Closing occurs before the Anniversary Date.  On the 1-Year Period End Date, actual performance results in 500 Restricted Stock Units becoming Eligible Restricted Stock Units that vest on the 1-Year Period 
    -6-

Determination Date.  On the 2-Year Period End Date, actual performance results in 1,500 Restricted Stock Units becoming Eligible Restricted Stock Units, and the number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units is capped at 1,500. These 1,500 Eligible Restricted Stock Units vest on the 2-Year Period Determination Date.  On the Period End Date, actual performance results in 6,000 Restricted Stock Units becoming Eligible Restricted Stock Units reduced by the number of Restricted Stock Units that had become Eligible Restricted Stock Units in the 1-Year Performance Period and 2-Year Performance Period with the result that the number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units on the Period End Date would equal 4,000.
Change in Control (other than the Merger)
In the event of a Change in Control (other than the Merger) that occurs prior to the Anniversary Date, the number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion no later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing.  The number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units that will vest on the Closing will be pro-rated by multiplying the calculated number of Eligible Restricted Stock Units by a fraction with a numerator equal to the number of completed calendar months that have elapsed between the Commencement Date and the Closing and a denominator equal to thirty-six (36).  The remaining Eligible Restricted Stock Units will be scheduled to vest in equal installments on each annual anniversary of the Commencement Date such that 100% of the Eligible Restricted Stock Units will be vested on the Anniversary Date, subject to Participant continuing to be a Service Provider through such dates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing, the Eligible Restricted Stock Units will be eligible for accelerated vesting upon a qualifying termination pursuant to any employment arrangement between the Participant and the Company (if any).    
Merger with HP
    No performance- or time-based vesting conditions of this Award of Restricted Stock Units will be deemed accelerated or triggered as a result of, or in connection with the Merger (it being understood that nothing in this sentence will supersede the terms of any arrangement referenced in the last sentence of this paragraph), and, instead, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), each Restricted Stock Unit subject to this Award of Restricted Stock Units that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and exchanged for a Converted Company Interim RSU (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) with a vesting commencement date coincident with the Date of Grant and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.03(f) of the Merger Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Converted Company Interim RSU into which this Award of Restricted Stock Units have been so converted will be treated in accordance with Section 2.03(e) of the Merger Agreement.  Each such Converted Company Interim RSU will be subject to the terms of any change of control, acceleration or severance arrangement by and between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any Change of Control Severance Agreement, in effect as of March 25, 2022.
By the Participant’s acceptance, the Participant represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions of the Plan, and hereby accepts this Agreement subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof.  The Participant has reviewed the Plan and this Agreement in their 
    -7-

entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement.  The Participant agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan and or this Agreement.  The Participant further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence indicated above.
The Participant acknowledges and agrees that by clicking the [“ACCEPT”] OR [“ACKNOWLEDGE”] button on the E*Trade on-line grant agreement response page, it will act as the Participant’s electronic signature to this Agreement and will constitute the Participant’s acknowledgment of and agreement with all of the terms and conditions of the Award, as set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.

EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
1.    Grant.  The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated in the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Subject to Section 8.6 of the Plan, 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 will prevail.
2.    Company’s Obligation to Pay.  Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests.  Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4, the Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units.  Prior to actual payment of any vested 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.  Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to the Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period ending no later than the later of the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the end of the (i) Fiscal Year or the (ii) calendar year, which in either case includes the vesting date.  In no event will the Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any Restricted Stock Units payable under this Agreement.  No fractional Shares will be issued under this Agreement.
3.    Vesting Schedule.  Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to any acceleration provisions contained in the Plan or set forth in this Agreement and subject to Section 5, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant.  Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in the Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.  In the event the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any or no reason before the Participant vests in the Restricted Stock Units, the Restricted Stock Units and the Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate.
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.  The payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this Section 4 will in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from or complies with Section 409A.
    -9-

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such separation from service and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Participant on or within the six (6) month period following the Participant’s separation from service, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s separation from service, unless the Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death.  It is the intent of this Agreement that it and all payments and benefits hereunder be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply.  Each payment payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).  
5.    Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company and the Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate.
6.    Death of the Participant.  Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Participant under this Agreement will, if the Participant is then deceased, be made to the Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives the Participant, the administrator or executor of the Participant’s estate.  Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
7.    Withholding of Taxes.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to the Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of income, employment and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit the Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part (without limitation) by (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, (c) delivering 
    -10-

to the Company already vested and owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (d) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld.  To the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its discretion, it will have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any tax withholding obligations by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant.  If the Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations hereunder at the time any applicable Restricted Stock Units otherwise are scheduled to vest pursuant to Sections 3 or 4, the Participant will permanently forfeit such Restricted Stock Units and any right to receive Shares thereunder and the Restricted Stock Units will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.
8.    Rights as Stockholder.  Neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant 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 Participant.  After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
    9.    No Guarantee of Continued Service.  THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING THE PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER.  THE PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THE PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING THE PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE THE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
10.    Address for Notices.  Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of Stock Administration at Plantronics, Inc., at 345 Encinal Street, Santa Cruz, California 95060, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.
11.    Grant is Not Transferable.  Except to the limited extent provided in Section 6, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or 
    -11-

hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process.  Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.
12.    Binding Agreement.  Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
13.    Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock.  If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to the Participant (or his or her estate), 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.  Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation.  The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.

All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons.  No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.
