PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

      This Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (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. Subject to Section 20(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms 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:

2. Vesting, Performance Conditions and Adjustment .

      (a) Vesting . As soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Committee ”) shall determine the vested percentage of the total number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and upon such determination the corresponding vested percentage of the total number of Restricted Stock Units granted shall vest. Such percentage shall be calculated pursuant to the following table:

TSR Percentile Rank:

       

Vested Percentage:

Below 40 th

 

0%

 

The vested percentage attributable to a TSR Percentile Rank between the 40 th and 60 th percentiles, or between the 60 th and 75 th percentiles, shall be determined by straight-line interpolation. In no event shall any Restricted Stock Units vest under this Section 2 after the Participant’s termination of Service.


      (b) TSR Percentile Rank . The term “TSR Percentile Rank” shall mean the Company’s TSR for the Performance Period expressed as a percentile rank relative to the TSR for the Performance Period of all companies included in the NASDAQ 100 Index as of the close of the Performance Period. The term “TSR” shall mean the quotient of (i) the Average Price of the applicable issuer’s Shares at the end of the Performance Period minus the Average Price of such issuer’s Shares at the beginning of the Performance Period plus any ordinary or extraordinary dividends paid by such issuer during the Performance Period divided by (ii) the Average Price of such issuer’s Shares at the beginning of the Performance Period. TSR expressed as a formula shall be as follows:

           TSR = ( Average Price end − Average Price begin + Dividends ) / Average Price begin

“Average Price” shall mean the average closing price over the 30 consecutive trading days ending with (and including) the applicable day. In calculating TSR, all dividends shall be assumed to have been reinvested in Shares when paid.

      (c) Committee Determination . The Committee shall determine the Company’s TSR Percentile Rank, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant and the Company. The Committee, at its sole discretion, may make appropriate adjustments in the vesting conditions set forth in Subsection (a) above in order to account for extraordinary events.

3. Change in Control .

      (a) Acceleration of Vesting . The Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall immediately vest if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in Control before a Separation from Service occurs and (ii) within 12 months after such Change in Control a Separation from Service occurs because (A) the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or (B) the Participant resigns for Good Reason. The vested percentage of such Restricted Stock Units shall be determined pursuant to Subsection (b) below.

      (b) Vested Percentage . If Subsection (a) above applies, the vested percentage of the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined as soon as reasonably practicable after the Separation from Service. If the Change in Control occurred within 12 months after the Grant Date set forth in Section 1 (the “ Grant Date ”), then the vested percentage of the Restricted Stock Units shall be 100%. If the Change in Control occurred more than 12 months after the Grant Date, then the vested percentage of the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined pursuant to Section 2 as if the Performance Period had ended on the date of the Change in Control. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company’s successor (the “ Successor Committee ”) shall determine the Company’s TSR Percentile Rank as of the date of the Change in Control, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant and the Company’s successor. The Successor Committee, at its sole discretion, may make appropriate adjustments in the vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) above in order to account for extraordinary events, including (without limitation) any effects related to the Change in Control.

      (c) Effect of Merger . In the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or reorganization, the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall be subject to Section 16 of the Plan; provided that any action taken pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan shall either (i) preserve the exemption of this Award from Section 409A of the Code or (ii) comply with Section 409A of the Code.

      (d) Definitions . The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 3:

      (i) Cause . The term “Cause” shall mean (A) any act of personal dishonesty taken by the Participant in connection with his or her responsibilities as a Participant that is intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Participant, (B) the Participant’s conviction of a felony that the Board reasonably believes has had or will have a material detrimental effect on the Company’s reputation or business, (C) a willful act by the Participant that constitutes misconduct and is injurious to the Company or (D) continued willful violations by the Participant of the Participant’s obligations to the Company after there has been delivered to the Participant a written demand for performance from the Company that describes the basis for the Company’s belief that the Participant has not substantially performed his or her duties.
