This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including any country-specific terms and conditions set forth in the attached Appendix (collectively, the “Agreement”), is between Logitech International S.A., a Swiss company (the “Company”), and the Participant named below and is made pursuant to the Logitech International S.A. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). To the extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are not defined, they shall have the meaning given to them in 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 of the Plan shall prevail.
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant named below the number of Restricted Stock Units corresponding to Shares specified below, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan, which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference:

Participant’s Name: | [NAME]
Grant Date: | [GRANT DATE]
Total Number of Restricted Stock | [UNITS]
Units granted: |  |

2. Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest [INSERT VESTING CRITERIA] (each such date being a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant’s continuous Service through the applicable Vesting Date, until all Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award are vested in full. In no event shall any Restricted Stock Units vest after the Participant’s termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the provisions contained in Sections 5(b) and 5(c) hereof [AS APPLICABLE: and in Addendum A, which is attached to this Agreement [AS APPLICABLE AND FOR PARTICIPANTS OTHER THAN MEMBERS OF THE GROUP MANAGEMENT TEAM ONLY: , and to the terms and conditions of any change of control severance agreement between the Company or Employer (as defined in Section 6) and the Participant (a “COC Severance Agreement”)]].
3. Settlement of Vested Restricted Stock Units. The Participant’s vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled promptly after the applicable Vesting Date pursuant to Section 2 or accelerated vesting event pursuant to Section 5(b), provided that the Company shall have no obligation to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement unless and until the Participant has satisfied any applicable tax and/or other obligations pursuant to Section 8 below and such issuance otherwise complies with Applicable Laws. The foregoing notwithstanding, Restricted Stock Units shall be settled within sixty (60) days after the applicable Vesting Date or accelerated vesting event, subject to Section 24 hereof. At the time of settlement, the Participant shall receive one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit, net of applicable withholdings. The Company in its discretion may designate a brokerage firm to assist with settlement of Restricted Stock Units, or as the sole means for settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

4. Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are mere bookkeeping entries and represent only an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company to issue or deliver Shares on a future date. As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, the Participant has no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company. The Restricted Stock Units carry neither voting rights nor rights to cash or other dividends. The Participant has no rights as a shareholder of the Company by virtue of the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units are settled by issuing or delivering Shares.
5. Termination of Service.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5(b) or 5(c), if the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether or not such termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited effective on the date the Participant’s Service terminates. The Participant’s date of termination of Service shall mean the date upon which the Participant’s active Service terminates, regardless of any notice period or period in lieu of notice of termination of employment or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of a written employment agreement, if any. The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant’s active Service terminates for purposes of this Award (i.e., when the Participant has ceased active performance of services for purposes of vesting in this Award), including whether a leave of absence constitutes a termination of Service for purposes of this Award.
(b) If the Participant’s Service terminates by reason of death or Disability, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall vest immediately as of the date of such termination of Service.
(c) If the Participant’s Service terminates by reason of Retirement, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest (in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 2) on any Vesting Date that occurs subsequent to the Participant’s date of termination of Service without regard to the requirement that the Participant continue in Service through the applicable Vesting Date and subject to the Participant’s continued compliance with any post-termination restrictive covenants to which the Participant may be subject, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Logitech Employee Non-disclosure Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5(c), the definition of Retirement is set forth in the country-specific provisions in the attached Appendix that apply to the Participant.
6. Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. If the Participant is now or is hereafter subject to the Executive Clawback Policy adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, or any policy providing for the recovery of Awards, Shares, proceeds, or payments to Participant in the event of fraud or as required by Applicable Laws or governance considerations or in other similar circumstances, then this Award, and any Shares or other payments resulting from settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or proceeds therefrom, are subject to potential recovery by the Company or the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) under the circumstances set out in the Executive Clawback Policy or such other similar policy as in effect from time to time.
7. Suspension or Cancellation for Misconduct. If at any time (including after vesting but before settlement) the Administrator reasonably believes that the Participant has committed an act of misconduct as described in this Section 7, the Administrator may suspend the vesting or settlement of Restricted Stock Units, pending a determination of whether an act of misconduct has been committed. If the Administrator determines that the Participant has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty, or if the Participant makes an unauthorized disclosure of any trade secret or confidential information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or induces any customer to breach a contract with the
2

Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, then this Agreement shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding. Any determination by the Administrator with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties. If the Participant holds the title of Vice President or above, the determination of the Administrator shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.
8. Responsibility for Taxes.
(a) Regardless of any action the Company or 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 (i) 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 or settlement 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/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) 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-Related Items 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.
(b) 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: (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon 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); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, provided, however, that if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i) and (ii) hereof. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates up to the maximum rates applicable in the Participant’s jurisdiction, in which case, under withholding method 8(b)(ii) or (iii) hereof, the Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. 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 due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
(c) 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
3

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.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A, if Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units will be withheld (or sold on the Participant’s behalf) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the Restricted Stock Units for any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is considered an item of “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A, then the number of Shares withheld (or sold on the Participant’s behalf) shall not exceed the number of Shares that equals the liability for the Tax-Related Items.
9. Compliance with Applicable Laws; No Company Liability. No Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units unless such issuance or delivery complies with Applicable Laws. The Company shall not be liable to the Participant or other persons as to (a) the non-issuance or delivery of Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance or delivery of any Shares hereunder and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by the Participant or other person due to the receipt, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
10. Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units and this Agreement may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will, by the laws of descent or distribution or, if the Company permits, by a written beneficiary designation. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns of the Participant.
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 should 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.

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b)the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time;
(e)the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(f)the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which are outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any;
4

(g)the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(i)the grant of the Restricted Stock Units and the Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;
(j)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(k)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of the Participant’s Service by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any) and, in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant (to the extent permitted by applicable laws) irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waives the ability, if any, to bring any such claim and releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant (to the extent permitted by applicable laws) will be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims;
(l)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its 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 benefits 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;
(m)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 the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the Service the Participant may provide as a director of any Subsidiary or Affiliate; and
(n)neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar or the Swiss Franc, as applicable, 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.
13. Data Privacy.
(a) The Participant hereby consents to the collection, processing, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal information (the “Data”) regarding the Participant’s employment, the nature and amount of the Participant’s compensation and the fact and conditions of the Participant’s participation in the Plan (including the Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number,
5

compensation, nationality and job title, details of all options, shares or other entitlement to securities awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding under the Plan or predecessor plans), by and among the Company and one or more its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan and in calculating the cost of the Plan.
(b) The Participant further consents to the transfer of the Data to the Company’s designated broker for the Plan (currently, UBS AG or Equatex AG and their respective affiliates (the “Plan Broker”), or to any other third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, or in calculating the costs of the Plan, including any other third party assisting with the settlement of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan or with whom Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or cash from the sale of such Shares may be deposited.

(c) The Participant understands and agrees that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ countries may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country, and the Participant consents to the transfer of the Data to such countries. Furthermore, the Participant acknowledges and understands that the transfer of the Data to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or to the Plan Broker or any such third parties, is necessary for the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data or require any necessary amendments to Data or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative in writing.
(d) Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, t he Participant acknowledges that withdrawal of consent may affect the Participant’s ability to realize benefits from the Restricted Stock Units, and the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

The Participant may also be subject to foreign asset/account reporting requirements as a result of the acquisition, holding or transfer of Shares or cash resulting from participation in the Plan, to or from a brokerage/bank account or entity located outside the Participant’s country. The applicable laws of the Participant’s country may require that he or she report such assets, accounts, the balances therein, or the transactions related thereto to the applicable authorities in such country. The Participant is responsible for being aware of and satisfying any exchange control and foreign asset/account reporting requirements that may be necessary in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will be responsible for such requirements or liable for the failure on the Participant’s part to know and abide by the requirements
6

that are the Participant’s responsibility. The Participant should consult with his or her own personal legal advisers to ensure compliance with local laws.
15. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of a declaration of a stock dividend, a stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or assets, recapitalization, reorganization or any similar event affecting the Shares or other securities of the Company, the Administrator shall equitably adjust the number and kind of Restricted Stock Units or other securities which are subject to this Agreement, in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits under this Agreement.
16. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan, this Agreement [AS APPLICABLE: (including Addendum A)] [AS APPLICABLE AND FOR PARTICIPANTS OTHER THAN MEMBERS OF THE GROUP MANAGEMENT TEAM ONLY: and any COC Severance Agreement] constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules of Switzerland (the Company’s jurisdiction of organization).

19. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
20. Appendix. The Restricted Stock Units and any Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix to this Agreement for the Participant’s country. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
21. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
22. Permitted Modifications to Comply with Laws. The Company reserves the right to unilaterally amend this Agreement [AS APPLICABLE: , prior to a Change of Control (as defined in Addendum A to this Agreement),] solely to facilitate compliance with existing or adopted applicable ordinances, laws, rules or regulations (“Laws”) (even if such Laws have not yet taken effect), including but not limited to any Laws related to the Minder initiative in Switzerland.

23. Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Depending on Participant’s country, Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in Participant’s country). 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. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will be responsible for such restrictions or liable for the failure on the Participant’s part to know and abide by such restrictions. The Participant should consult with his or her own personal legal advisers to ensure compliance with local laws.
24. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
(a)Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of complying with Code Section 409A, if the Restricted Stock Units are considered an item of non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A (“Deferred Compensation”), the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled within sixty (60) days after (i) the applicable Vesting Date, (ii) the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A in connection with an accelerated vesting event pursuant to Section 5(b) [IF APPLICABLE: and, if applicable, Addendum A], and (iii) the Participant’s death. In addition, if the Restricted Stock Units are Deferred Compensation and payable in connection with the Participant’s separation from service, and if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A on the date the Participant experiences a separation from service, then the Restricted Stock Units shall be settled on the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service, or, if earlier, on the date of the Participant’s death, solely to the extent such delayed payment is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A.
(b)The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A and the U.S. Treasury Regulations relating thereto so as not to subject the Participant to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Code Section 409A or other adverse tax consequences. In furtherance of this intent, the provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions. The Administrator may modify the terms of this Agreement and/or the Plan without the consent of the Participant, in the manner that the Administrator may determine to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with Code Section 409A or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Code Section 409A if compliance is not practical. This Section 24(b) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the terms of this Agreement or the Plan and does not guarantee that the Restricted Stock Units or the delivery of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties or any other adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A. Nothing in this Agreement shall provide a basis for any person to take any action against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates based on matters covered by Code Section 409A, including the tax treatment of any amounts paid under this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will have any liability under any circumstances to the Participant or any other party if the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or other payment or tax event hereunder that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Code Section 409A, is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect thereto.

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant under the Plan if the Participant resides in one of the countries listed below. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.
This Appendix also includes information regarding securities law and other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities law and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2017. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Appendix 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 at the time that the Restricted Stock Units vest 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 the Participant’s situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant currently working or transfers employment between countries after the Grant Date, the Participant may be subject to the special terms and conditions for more than one country and/or the information for more than one country may be applicable to the Participant.
