 APPENDIX A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 
 1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the
Employee under the Plan an award of the Number of Restricted Stock Units set forth on the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. When Shares are paid to the Employee in payment for the Restricted
Stock Units, par value will be deemed paid by the Employee for each Restricted Stock Unit by past services rendered by the Employee, and will be subject to the appropriate tax withholdings. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. 
 2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit has a
value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that the Restricted Stock Unit is granted. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in the manner set forth in paragraphs 3 through 5, the Employee will have no right to
payment of such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation. Payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units will be made in whole Shares only.

 3. Vesting Schedule/Period of Restriction. Except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5, and subject to paragraph 7, the
Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth on the first page of this Agreement. Restricted Stock Units shall not vest in the Employee in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Agreement unless the Employee shall have been continuously employed by the Company or by one of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date until the date the Restricted Stock Units are otherwise scheduled to vest. 
 4. Modifications to Vesting Schedule.  
 (a) Vesting upon Leave of Absence. In the event that the Employee takes an authorized leave of absence (“LOA”), the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement that are scheduled to vest shall be
modified as follows: 
 (i) if the duration of the Employee’s LOA is sixty (60) days or less, the vesting schedule
set forth on the first page of this Agreement shall not be affected by the Employee’s LOA. 
 (ii) if the duration of the
Employee’s LOA is greater than sixty (60) days, the scheduled vesting of any Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement that are not then vested shall be deferred for a period of time equal to the duration of the Employee’s LOA.

 (b) Death or Disability of Employee. In the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Service due to his or
her death or Disability, the Employee shall immediately vest as to the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have vested had the Employee remained an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries through [INSERT DESCRIPTION OF VESTING
CONDITIONS]. 
  

 -2- 

 In the event that any applicable law limits the Company’s ability to accelerate the
vesting of this award of Restricted Stock Units, this paragraph 4(b) shall be limited to the extent required to comply with applicable law. 
 (c) Retirement of Employee. In the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Service due to his or her Retirement, the Employee shall immediately vest as to the number of Restricted Stock Units determined
by [INSERT DESCRIPTION OF VESTING CONDITIONS]. 
 In the event that any applicable law limits the Company’s
ability to accelerate the vesting of this award of Restricted Stock Units, this paragraph 4(c) shall be limited to the extent required to comply with applicable law. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means Termination of Service after attaining either (a) age sixty-five (65),
or (b) age fifty-five (55) plus a number of Years of Service so that the sum of the Employee’s age and Years of Service is at least sixty-five (65). For this purpose, the Employee’s “Years of Service” equals the number
of full months from the Employee’s latest hire date with the Company (or any Subsidiary) to the date of Termination of Service, divided by 12. 
 (d) Change in Control. 
 (i) In the event of a Change in Control, this award shall be
subject to the definitive agreement governing such Change in Control. Such agreement, without the Employee’s consent and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or the Plan, must provide for one of the following:
(a) the assumption of this award by the surviving corporation or its parent; (b) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of an award with substantially the same terms as this award; or (c) the cancellation of this
award after payment to the Employee in Shares of an amount equal to the Restricted Stock Units subject to this award at the time of the Change in Control. In the event the definitive agreement does not provide for one of the foregoing alternatives
with respect to the treatment of this award, this award shall have the treatment specified in clause (c) of the preceding sentence. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of this award in connection with any of the
foregoing alternatives. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then
outstanding voting securities; (b) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (c) a change in the composition of the Board occurring within a one-year period, as a
result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors; or (d) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the
voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least fifty percent (50%) of
the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation. “Incumbent Directors” means directors who either (A) are
Directors as of the effective date of the Plan, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but will not include an
individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company). 
  

 -3- 

 (ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Employee incurs a
Termination of Service within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control on account of a termination by the Company (or any Subsidiary) for any reason other than Misconduct or on account of a termination by the Employee for Good Reason,
then this award immediately will vest in one hundred percent (100%) of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Restricted Stock Unit award. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s written consent, (a) a relocation of the Employee’s principal place of employment by more than fifty (50) miles
from the location immediately prior to the Change in Control, (b) a reduction in the Employee’s base salary by more than 10% or a material reduction in the Employee’s kind or level of benefits (not including base salary, incentive
compensation or equity compensation) that, in either instance, is not applied to all similarly situated employees, or (c) a change in the Employee’s duties that is materially inconsistent with the Employee’s education, professional
training and experience at the Company. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Misconduct” means (a) the
commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty by the Employee, (b) the Employee’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendre to, a felony, (c) any unauthorized use or disclosure by the Employee of confidential information
or trade secrets of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or (d) any other intentional misconduct by the Employee adversely affecting the business or affairs of the Company or of any Subsidiary in a material manner. The preceding definition shall
not be deemed to be inclusive of all the acts or omissions that the Company (or any Subsidiary) may consider as grounds for the dismissal or discharge of the Employee or any other individual in the service of the Company (or any Subsidiary).

 5. Committee Discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the
balance, of the 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 Committee. If the Committee, in its discretion,
accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units, the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units nevertheless shall be made at the same time or times as if such Restricted Stock
Units had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement (whether or not the Employee remains employed by the Company or by one of its Subsidiaries as of such date(s)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Committee, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units in connection with the Employee’s Termination of Service (other than due to death), the Restricted
Stock Units that vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service will not be considered due or payable until the Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if the Employee
is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Employee’s separation from service, then any such accelerated Restricted Stock Units otherwise payable within the six (6) month period following
the Employee’s separation from service instead will be paid on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s separation from service, unless the 

  

 -4- 

 
Employee dies following his or her separation from service, in which case, the accelerated Restricted Stock Units will be paid to the Employee’s estate
as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 9. Thereafter, such Restricted Stock Units shall continue to be paid in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any final Treasury Regulations and other Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time
(“Section 409A”). 
 6. Payment after Vesting. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with paragraphs 3 through
4 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year that
includes the date of vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if some or all of the Restricted Stock Units vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service (other than due to death) in accordance with paragraphs 3 through 4, the
Restricted Stock Units that vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service will not be considered due or payable until the Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if the
Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Employee’s separation from service (other than due to death), then any accelerated Restricted Stock Units will be paid to the Employee no
earlier than six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s separation from service unless the Employee dies following his or her separation from service, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid to
the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 9. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with paragraph 5 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to
his or her estate) in accordance with the provisions of such paragraph, subject to paragraph 9. For each Restricted Stock Unit that vests, the Employee will receive one Share. 
 7. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested pursuant
to paragraphs 3 through 5 at the time of the Employee’s Termination of Service for any or no reason will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company. 
 8. Death of Employee. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Employee under this Agreement will, if the Employee is then deceased, be made
to the administrator or executor of the Employee’s estate. Any such administrator or executor 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. 
 9. Withholding of
Taxes. When Shares are issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) will withhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay federal, state, local and foreign
income, social insurance, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company or the employing Subsidiary with respect to the Shares, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, either requires or otherwise permits the
Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding obligations. The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be rounded up to the nearest whole

  

 -5- 

 
Share, with no refund for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a result of such rounding. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be issued unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes which the Company determines
must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) has the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee,
cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All income and other taxes related to the Restricted Stock Units award
and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Employee. By accepting this award, the Employee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to any additional cash withholding as provided for in this
paragraph 9. 
 10. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee will have
any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of
the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee 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. 
 11. No Effect on
Employment. Subject to any employment contract with the Employee, the terms of such employment will be determined from time to time by the Company, or the Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, and the Company, or the Subsidiary
employing the Employee, as the case may be, will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. The
transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any period of time. A leave of absence or an interruption in
service (including an interruption during military service) authorized or acknowledged by the Company or the Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, shall not be deemed a Termination of Service for the purposes of this Agreement.

 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 its General Counsel, at 4750 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. 
 13. Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in this Agreement, this grant of Restricted Stock Units and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred or disposed of any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process, until the Employee has been issued Shares in payment of the Restricted Stock
Units. Upon any attempt to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer 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. 
  

 -6- 

 14. Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock
Units under this Agreement will be registered under U.S. federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt. However, an Employee’s subsequent sale of the Shares may be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by
the Company and must comply with the Company’s insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities laws. 
 15. 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.

 16. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Certificates for Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any certificate or
certificates for Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration
or other qualification of such Shares under any U.S. state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion,
deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. state or federal governmental agency, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and
(d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date of vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as the Committee may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience. 
 17. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions
of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. 
 18. Committee Authority. The
Committee will have the power to interpret the 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 determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon the Employee, the Company
and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. 
 19. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this
Agreement. 
 20. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such
provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
 21. Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Employee expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in
reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express 

  

 -7- 

 
written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company
reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Employee, to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income
recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of Shares pursuant to this award of Restricted Stock Units. 
 22.
Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this Restricted Stock Units award, the Employee expressly warrants that he or she has received a right to receive stock under the Plan, and has received, read and understood a
description of the Plan. The Employee understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. 
 23. Labor Law. By accepting this Restricted Stock Units award, the Employee acknowledges that: (a) the grant of these Restricted Stock Units is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or
other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units; (b) all determinations with respect to any future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when the Restricted Stock Units
shall be granted, the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to each Restricted Stock Unit award and the time or times when the Restricted Stock Units shall vest, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (c) the Employee’s
participation in the Plan is voluntary; (d) the value of these Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any; (e) these Restricted Stock Units
are not part of the Employee’s normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;
(f) the vesting of these Restricted Stock Units will cease upon termination of employment for any reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan or this Agreement; (g) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown
and cannot be predicted with certainty; (h) these Restricted Stock Units have been granted to the Employee in the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (i) any claims resulting from these Restricted
Stock Units shall be enforceable, if at all, against the Company; and (j) there shall be no additional obligations for any Subsidiary employing the Employee as a result of these Restricted Stock Units. 
 24. Disclosure of Employee Information. By accepting this Restricted Stock Units award, the Employee consents to the collection, use and transfer
of personal data as described in this paragraph. The Employee understands that the Company and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about him or her, including his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social
security or identity number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards of Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested,
unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Employee further understands that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries will transfer Data among themselves as necessary for
the purpose of implementation, administration and management of his or her participation in the Plan, and that the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the
implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Employee understands that these recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere, such as in the U.S. The Employee authorizes the Company 

  

 -8- 

 
to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing his or her
participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer to a broker or other third party with whom he or she may elect to deposit any Shares of stock acquired from this award of Restricted Stock Units of such Data as may be required for the
administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of Shares of stock on his or her behalf. The Employee understands that he or she may, at any time, view the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data or withdraw the consent herein in
writing by contacting the Equity Programs for the Company and/or its applicable Subsidiaries. 
 25. Notice of Governing Law. This
award of Restricted Stock Units shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

 Exhibit 10.45 
 [AMENDMENT FOR U.S. FORMS OF PERFORMANCE SHARE AGREEMENTS] 
 POLYCOM, INC. 
 2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 
 AMENDMENT
TO PERFORMANCE SHARE AGREEMENT[S] 
 This Amendment (the “Amendment”) has been made this
         day of October 2008, by Polycom, Inc. (the “Company”). 
 RECITALS 

 WHEREAS: The Company granted [INSERT NAME] (the “Employee”) [an award] [awards] of Performance Shares on [INSERT DATE(S)]
under the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and [a performance share agreement] [performance share agreements] between the Company and the Employee (the “Performance Share Agreement[s]”); 
 WHEREAS: The Company desires to amend the Performance Share Agreement[s] to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby amends the Employee’s Performance Share Agreement[s] to
provide as follows: 
 AGREEMENT 
 Unless otherwise defined herein, initially capitalized terms shall have the same meanings as defined in the Plan. 
 1. Change in
Control. Subsections (a) and (c) of the definition of “Change in Control” in Section 4(d)(i) of the Performance Share Agreement[s] are hereby amended in their entirety to read as follows: 
 “(a) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) becomes the “beneficial
owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting
securities;” 
 “(c) a change in the composition of the Board occurring within a one-year period, as a result of
which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors;” 
 2. Committee Discretion. Section 5 of the
Performance Share Agreement[s] is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “The Committee, in its
discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Performance Shares at any time, subject to the terms of 

 
the Plan. If so accelerated, such Performance Shares will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Committee. If the Committee, in its
discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Performance Shares, the payment of such accelerated Performance Shares nevertheless shall be made at the same time or times as if such Performance
Shares had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement (whether or not the Employee remains employed by the Company or by one of its Subsidiaries as of such date(s)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Committee, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Performance Shares in connection with the Employee’s Termination of Service (other than due to death), the Performance
Shares that vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service will not be considered due or payable until the Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if the Employee is a
“specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Employee’s separation from service, then any such accelerated Performance Shares otherwise payable within the six (6) month period following the
Employee’s separation from service instead will be paid on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s separation from service, unless the Employee dies following his or her separation
from service, in which case, the accelerated Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 9. Thereafter, such Performance Shares shall continue to be paid in
accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any final Treasury
Regulations and other Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time (“Section 409A”).” 
 3. Payment After Vesting. Section 6 of the Performance Share Agreement[s] is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with paragraphs 3 through 4 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) as soon as practicable following the
date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year that includes the date of vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if some or all of the Performance Shares vest on account of the Employee’s
Termination of Service (other than due to death) in accordance with paragraphs 3 through 4, the Performance Shares that vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service will not be considered due or payable until the Employee has a
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Employee’s separation from service (other
than due to death), then any accelerated Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee no earlier than six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s separation from service unless the Employee dies following
his or her separation from service, in which case, the Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 9. Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with
paragraph 5 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in accordance with the provisions of such paragraph, subject to paragraph 9. For each Performance Share that vests, the Employee will
receive one Share.” 
  

 2 

 4. Full Force and Effect. To the extent not expressly amended hereby, the Performance Share
Agreement[s] shall remain in full force and effect. 
 5. Entire Agreement. This Amendment and the Performance Share Agreement[s]
between the Employee and the Company, as amended, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof. 
 6. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, their respective successors, assigns, and legal representatives. 
 7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
