Dear Ray:

 

Based on your desire to demonstrate your support for the Company and its prospects, the Compensation Committee has considered and will agree to your request to forgo the payment of your salary and cash bonus for the balance of 2012, and to accept a grant of shares of restricted stock instead.

 

As discussed, the October 8, 2010 letter (as previously amended by letter dated February 14, 2011, your “Agreement”) outlining the terms and conditions of your employment by Sonus Networks, Inc. is hereby amended as follow:

 

1.  You have elected, in lieu of your Base Salary through December 31, 2012, to accept shares of restricted stock (“Salary Shares”), which will vest on December 31, 2012.  The number of Salary Shares granted will equal the balance of your Base Salary for the year divided by the closing price of the Company’s shares, both as of the date of grant.  If, before December 31, 2012, your employment is terminated by you with Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, a pro rata portion of the Salary Shares will vest on the date of such termination.  If, before December 31, 2012, your employment is terminated by you without Good Reason or by the Company for Cause, you will forfeit the Salary Shares.

 

2.  You have also elected to receive your FY2012 Target Bonus, if any is earned, in the form of restricted shares (“Bonus Shares”), which will be granted and vest as described below:

 

a.              The number of Bonus Shares granted will equal your Target Bonus at the maximum level of achievement (150%) divided by the closing price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant.

 

b.              Your actual Target Bonus earned will be calculated as a percentage of your maximum Target Bonus, as outlined in, and subject to all requirements of, your Agreement.

 

c.               The Bonus Shares will vest in the percentage that your actual Target Bonus earned bears to your maximum Target Bonus.

 

The Salary Shares and the Bonus Shares will be granted on the first day after the date of this letter that you are permitted to purchase shares pursuant to the Company’s established blackout policy. The vesting of the Salary Shares shall not accelerate except as expressly provided in this letter, and the vesting of the Bonus Shares shall never accelerate.  Except as modified by the terms of this letter, the terms of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.  Capitalized terms not defined in this letter have the same definitions given to them in the Agreement.

 

Very truly yours,

Unless otherwise provided by the Company, all dividends and other amounts receivable in connection with any adjustments to the Shares under Section 4(c) of the Plan shall be subject to the vesting schedule in this Section 2(a).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs and the Director ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason, then the Restricted Shares shall become immediately vested in full upon such termination of service.

 

“Change in Control” shall mean:

 

(A)                               any person (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), other than a Permitted Person, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of Voting Securities representing 50% or more of the total voting power or value of all the then outstanding Voting Securities; or

 

(B)                               the individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) together with those who become directors subsequent to such date and whose recommendation, election or nomination for

(C)                               the consummation of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or reorganization of the Company, other than any such transaction which would (x) result in more than 50% of the total voting power and value represented by the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction being beneficially owned by the former shareholders of the Company and (y) not otherwise be deemed a Change in Control under subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph.

“Voting Security” means any security of the Company which carries the right to vote generally in the election of directors.

 

(b)                                 Termination of Service; Forfeiture of Unvested Shares.  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2(a) above, in the event the Director ceases to be a director of the Company prior to the date the Restricted Shares otherwise become vested due to his or her death or Permanent Disability (as defined in the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan), the Restricted Shares shall become immediately vested in full upon such termination of service.  If the Director ceases to be a director of the Company for any other reason prior to the date the Restricted Shares become vested, the Award shall be forfeited by the Director and become the property of the Company.

(c)                                  Certificates.  Each certificate issued in respect of Restricted Shares awarded hereunder shall be issued in book entry format with the Company’s transfer agent and shall bear a legend disclosing the restrictions on transferability imposed on such Restricted Shares by this Agreement (the “Restrictive Legend”).  Upon the vesting of Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof and the satisfaction of any withholding tax liability pursuant to Section 5 hereof, such vested Shares, not bearing the Restrictive Legend, shall be delivered to the Director.

 

(d)                                 Rights of a Stockholder.  Prior to the time a Restricted Share is fully vested hereunder, the Director shall have no right to transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber such Restricted Shares.  During such period, the Director shall have all other rights of a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote and to receive dividends (subject to Section 2(a) hereof) at the time paid on such Restricted Shares.

 

(e)                                  No Right to Continued Services.  This Award shall not confer upon the Director any right with respect to continuance of services with the Company nor shall this Award interfere with the right of the Company to terminate the Director’s services at any time.

 

3.                                      Transfer of Shares.  The Shares delivered hereunder, or any interest therein, may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, or transferred or disposed of in any other manner, in whole or in part, only in compliance with the terms, conditions and restrictions as set forth in the governing instruments of the Company, applicable United States federal and state securities laws or any other applicable laws or regulations and the terms and conditions hereof.

 

4.                                      Expenses of Issuance of Shares.  The issuance of stock certificates hereunder shall be without charge to the Director.  The Company shall pay, and indemnify the Director from and against any issuance, stamp or documentary taxes (other than transfer taxes) or charges imposed by any governmental body, agency or official (other than income taxes) or by reason of the issuance of Shares.

 

5.                                      Withholding.  No later than the date of vesting of (or the date of an election by the Director under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to) the Award granted hereunder, the Director shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld at such time with respect to such Award and the Company shall, to the extent permitted or required by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Director, federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld at such time.

 

6.                                      References.  References herein to rights and obligations of the Director shall apply, where appropriate, to the Director’s legal representative or estate without regard to whether specific reference to such legal representative or estate is contained in a particular provision of this Agreement.

 

7.                                      Notices.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally
