Restricted Stock. 
  

	(a)	Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee hereby awards to the Employee, on the date hereof (the “Date of Grant”), subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Restricted Stock”). If and when the restrictions set forth in

Restricted Stock for purposes of this Agreement. 

  

	(b)	As soon as practicable after the Date of Grant, the Company shall direct that a stock certificate or certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock be registered
in the name of and issued to the Employee. Such certificate or certificates shall be held in the custody of the Company or its designee until such shares no longer are considered Restricted Stock.

(ii) to take such other action as the Committee deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the terms of this Agreement. This power, being 

	 	
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable. Employee agrees to execute such other stock powers and documents as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Committee to effectuate the
terms of this Agreement. 

  

	(d)	Each certificate of the Restricted Stock shall bear the following legend (the “Legend”): 

“The ownership and transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and
conditions (including forfeiture) of the Comverse Technology, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan and a Restricted Stock Award Agreement entered into between the registered owner and Comverse Technology, Inc. Copies of such Plan and
Agreement are on file in the executive offices of Comverse Technology, Inc.” 
 In addition, the stock certificate or
certificates for the Restricted Stock shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock
exchange or securities association upon which the Common Stock is then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on such certificate or certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions. 
  

	(e)	As soon as administratively practicable following the applicable Vesting Date (as defined in Paragraph 1.3), and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable
conditions as to such Vested Percentage (as defined in Paragraph 1.3) of Restricted Stock, including, but not limited to, the payment by the Employee of all applicable withholding taxes, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Employee a certificate or certificates for the applicable shares of Restricted Stock which shall not bear the Legend. 

 1.2
Restrictions. 
  

	(a)	The Employee shall have all rights and privileges of a stockholder as to the Restricted Stock, including the right to vote and receive dividends or other
distributions with respect to the Restricted Stock, except that the following restrictions shall apply: 

  

	 	(i)	the Employee shall not be entitled to delivery of the certificate or certificates for the Vested Percentage of shares of Restricted Stock until the applicable
Vesting Date and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions; 

  

	 	(ii)	shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, pledged, assigned, transferred, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of for any reason until the applicable Vesting
Dated; 

  

	 	(iii)	 all shares of Common Stock distributed as a dividend or distribution, if any, with respect to shares of Restricted Stock prior to the applicable
Vesting Date shall be 

  

 2 

	 	
delivered to and held by the Company and subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Restricted Stock in respect of which the dividend or distribution was made; and

  

	 	(iv)	all unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited and returned to the Company and all rights of the Employee with respect to such shares shall terminate
in their entirety on the terms and conditions set forth in Paragraph 1.4. 

  

	(b)	Any attempt to dispose of unvested shares of Restricted Stock or any interest in such shares in a manner contrary to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement
shall be void and of no effect. 

 1.3 Vesting. Subject to the provisions contained in Paragraphs 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6,
the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 1.2 with respect to shares of Restricted Stock shall apply for a period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant; provided, however, the applicable
percentage of shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder (the “Vesting Percentage”) shall be deemed vested and no longer subject to restriction under Paragraph 1.2 or forfeiture under Paragraph 1.4 on the applicable vesting date
(“Vesting Date”) in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

				
	 Vesting Date
	  	Vested Percentage

	  	100	% 

 1.4 Acceleration;
Forfeiture. 
  

	(a)	If Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated due to Employee’s death or Disability, then Employee will be entitled to the immediate full
vesting on the date of termination of all shares of Restricted Stock. 

 For purposes of this Agreement,
“Disability” means the inability of Employee to properly perform his duties in the employ of the Company by reason of any physical or mental incapacity, in either case for a period of more than one hundred eighty
(180) consecutive days, or two hundred ten (210) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period. Whether Employee has a Disability will be determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company in
its sole discretion. 
  

	(b)	 If Employee’s employment terminates for any reason other than as set forth in Paragraph 1.4(a) above, all unvested shares of Restricted
Stock shall be forfeited by Employee as of the date of termination. In the event of any such forfeiture, all such forfeited shares of

 1.5 Withholding. 
  

	(a)	The Committee shall determine the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any income
recognized by the Employee with respect to the Restricted Stock. 

  

	(b)	The Employee shall be required to meet any applicable tax withholding obligation in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 

 

	(c)	The Committee shall be authorized, in its sole discretion, to establish such rules and procedures relating to the use of shares of Common Stock to satisfy tax
withholding obligations as it deems necessary or appropriate to facilitate and promote the conformity of the Employee’s transactions under the Plan and this Agreement with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if
such Rule is applicable to a transaction by the Employee.

provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee shall have discretion to waive any forfeiture of the Restricted Stock and any other conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Shareholder Rights. The Grantee (or any successor in interest) shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder (including, without

 (c) Plan and Defined Terms. This award is granted under and subject to the terms of the 2005 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan and the
Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (2005) Addendum dated July 5, 2005 (together the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined in the Agreement (including Section 9

(d) Grantee Undertaking. The Grantee agrees to execute such further instruments and to take such action as may reasonably be necessary to carry
out the intent of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. NO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF AWARD. 

This Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law
or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment, levy or similar process; provided, however, that the Grantee shall be permitted to transfer this award, in connection with his or her estate plan, to the Grantee’s
spouse, siblings, parents, children and grandchildren or a charitable organization that is exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or to trusts for the benefit of such persons or partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies or
other entities owned solely by such persons, including trusts for such persons or to the Grantee’s former spouse in accordance with a domestic relations order. 

SECTION 3. VESTING; TERMINATION OF SERVICE. 

(a) Vesting. This award shall vest 75% on January 26, 2008 and 25% on January 26, 2009 (each, a “Vesting Date”). 

 (b) Termination of Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the unvested portion
of the award shall be forfeited as of the date (the “Termination Date”) that the Grantee actually ceases to provide services to the Company or an Affiliate in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant (irrespective of whether the
Grantee continues to receive severance or any other continuation payments or benefits after such date) (such cessation of the provision of services by Grantee being referred to as “Service Termination”). 

(c) Termination without Cause. In the event of Service Termination by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause, the Granted Units shall vest on
the Termination Date and the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the vested Granted Units in accordance with Section 4 of hereof shall be delivered to the Grantee on the applicable Vesting Date (the “Delivery Date”), provided.
however, that in the event of a Change in Control on or after the Termination Date and prior to the Delivery Date, the Common Stock shall be delivered on the date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the above, no shares of Common Stock shall
be delivered to the Grantee in the event the Grantee breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 7 hereof. 
 (d)
Resignation. In the event of Service Termination resulting from the Grantee’s voluntary resignation, all unvested Granted Units subject to this award shall be immediately forfeited as of the Termination Date. 

(e) Termination for Cause. In the event of Service Termination by the Company or an Affiliate with Cause or if Cause exists as of the Termination
Date, the Grantee shall forfeit all unvested Granted Units that are subject to this award and any vested Granted Units with respect to which delivery of the Common Stock has not yet been made as of the Termination Date. 

(f) Death/Disability. Any unvested portion of the Granted Units shall become 100% vested upon Service Termination due to the Grantee’s death
or Disability. 
 (g) Change in Control. Any unvested portion of the Granted Units shall become 100% vested upon a Change in Control
unless this award is assumed, converted or replaced by the continuing entity in which case this award (or its successor) shall become 100% vested upon Service Termination by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause within 24 months following the
Change in Control (or following Service Termination due to death or Disability, as provided above). 
 SECTION 4. SETTLEMENT OF GRANTED
UNITS. 
 (a) Settlement Amount. Subject to Section 4(b) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee on each vesting date a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of Granted Units that vest as of such date; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock will be issued in settlement of this award unless the issuance of shares complies with all
relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares of Common Stock may then be listed. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued. The Company will pay cash in respect of fractional shares of Common
Stock. 
 (b) Withholding Requirements. Unless the Company shall have satisfied the tax withholding from other amounts payable to the
Grantee, the Company shall withhold from the 
  

 2 

 
settlement amount a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to enable the Company to satisfy its withholding requirements with respect to the settlement of the Granted Units. All Grantees who
are domiciled in Israel shall be subject to the tax rules set forth in the Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (2005) Addendum dated July 5, 2005. 

SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT OF GRANTED UNITS. 

If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spinoff, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to shareholders of the Company,
or any extraordinary dividend or distribution of cash or other assets, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights under the Plan, the Committee shall adjust, in an equitable manner, the number and kind of shares that
will be paid to the Grantee upon settlement of the Granted Units. 
 SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 

(a) No Retention Rights, No Future Awards. Nothing in this award or in the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right to any future Awards and to
continue in Continuous Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Grantee) or of the Grantee, which rights are
hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Continuous Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. 
 (b)
Award Unfunded. The Granted Units represent an unfunded promise. The Grantee’s rights with respect to the Granted Units are no greater than the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 

(c) Notice. Whenever under this Agreement it becomes necessary to give notice, such notice shall be in writing, signed by the party or parties
giving or making the same, and shall be served on the person or persons for whom it is intended or who should be advised or notified, by Federal Express (or other similar overnight service) or by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees
prepaid. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Grantee at the address that he or she most recently provided in writing to the Company. 

(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notice and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject
matter hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof. 

(e) Waiver. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition
whether of like or different nature. 
 (f) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and
be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon the Grantee, the Grantee’s assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Grantee’s estate, 

 

 3 

 
whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Agreement and have agreed in writing to be joined herein and be bound by the terms hereof. 

(g) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the law
that might otherwise govern under applicable New York principles of conflict of laws). 
 SECTION 7. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. 

(a) Confidentiality. The Grantee shall not disclose to anyone or make use of any trade secret or proprietary or confidential information of the
Company or an Affiliate, including such trade secret or proprietary or confidential information of any customer or other entity to which the Company owes an obligation not to disclose such information, which Grantee acquires during the period of
employment, including, without limitation, records kept in the ordinary course of business, except (i) as such disclosure or use may be required or appropriate in connection with Grantee’s work as an employee of the Company or an
Affiliate, (ii) when required to do so by a court of law, governmental agency or administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order Grantee to divulge, disclose or make accessible such
information or (iii) as to such confidential information that becomes generally known to the public or trade without his or her violation of this Section 7(a). The Grantee hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Company all of
Grantee’s right, title and interest in and to all inventions, discoveries, improvements and copyrightable subject matter (the “Rights”) that, during Grantee’s employment, are made or conceived by him or her, alone or with others,
and that relate to the Company or an Affiliate’s present business or arise out of any work Grantee performs or information Grantee receives regarding the business of the Company or an Affiliate while employed by the Company or an Affiliate. The
Grantee shall fully disclose to the Company or an Affiliate as promptly as possible all information known or possessed by him or her concerning the Rights, and upon request by the Company or an Affiliate and without any further compensation in any
form to Grantee by the Company or an Affiliate, but at the expense of the Company or an Affiliate, execute all applications for patents and copyright registrations, assignments thereof and other applicable instruments and do all things that the
Company or an Affiliate may reasonably deem necessary to vest and maintain in it the entire right, title and interest in and to all such Rights. 

(b) Noncompete; Non Nonsolicition. For and in consideration of the compensation to be paid by the Company pursuant to the terms hereof, and in
recognition of the fact that the Grantee will have access to confidential information and other valuable rights of the Company, the Grantee covenants and agrees that he will not, at any time during his employment with the Company and for a period of
twelve (12) months thereafter, directly or indirectly, engage in any business or in any activity related to the development, sale, production, manufacturing, marketing or distribution of products or services that are in competition with
products or services that the Company or any of its subsidiaries produces, sells, manufactures, markets, distributes or has interest in, in any state or foreign country in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries then conducts business or
reasonably has plans to conduct business. It is not the intent of this covenant to bar the Grantee from employment in any company whose general business is the manufacture of communications equipment or delivery of communications services, only to
limit specific and direct competition with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing 
  

 4 

 
contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Grantee from being an investor in securities of a competitor listed on a national securities exchange or actively traded over-the-counter so long as
such investments are in amounts not significant as compared to his total investments or to the aggregate of the outstanding securities of the issuer of the same class or issue of the specific securities involved. The Grantee further agrees that
during his employment by the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, the Grantee shall not, directly or indirectly, induce, attempt to induce, or aid others in inducing, an exempt Grantee of the Company to accept employment
or affiliation with another firm or corporation engaging in such business or activity of which the Grantee is an Grantee, owner, partner or consultant. 

(c) Geographic Scope. The Company and the Grantee agree that the duration and geographic scope of the Restrictive Covenant provision set forth in
this Section 7 are reasonable. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the duration or the geographic scope, or both, are unreasonable and that such provision is to that extent unenforceable, the Company and the
Grantee hereto agree that the provision shall remain in full force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest area that would not render it unenforceable. The Company and the Grantee intend that this provision shall be deemed to be
a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America and each and every political subdivision of each and every country outside the United States of America where this provision is
intended to be effective. 
 SECTION 8. CLAW BACK 

If a Grantee violates the requirements of Section 7 of this Agreement, then in addition to all remedies in law and/or equity available to the
Company, Grantee shall forfeit all unvested Granted Units and vested Granted Units for which delivery of the underlying shares of Common Stock has not occurred. In addition, with respect to Granted Units for which shares of Common Stock were
previously issued to the Grantee pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Grantee shall immediately pay to the Company the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date(s) such Granted Units vested, without regard to any taxes that may have been
deducted from such amount. 
 SECTION 9. DEFINITIONS. 

(a) “Agreement” shall mean this Deferred Stock Unit Award Agreement. 

(b) “Cause” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Grantee’s written employment agreement, provided, that if a Grantee does
not have a written employment agreement, it shall mean a good faith finding by the Company of:

nolo contendere by the Grantee to, any felony;
