including, without limitation, stock powers which may be necessary to transfer the certificate or certificates evidencing such unvested Shares to the Company upon such Termination of Service.

 A-2 








 
or by delivering to the Company already-owned Shares of Common Stock, subject to the absolute discretion of the Committee to disallow satisfaction of such
withholding by the delivery or withholding of stock. If the Employee fails to remit to the Company such withholding amount within the time period specified by the Committee (in its discretion), the award may be forfeited and in such case the
Employee shall not receive any of the Shares subject to this Agreement. 
 8. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any
person claiming under or through the Employee shall 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 shall have been issued,
recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee or the Escrow Agent. Except as provided in Paragraph 10, after such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee shall 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. 
 9. No
Effect on Service. The Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. Accordingly, subject to any written, express employment with the Employee, nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon
the Employee any right to continue to be employed by the Company or any Affiliate or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or the Affiliate, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the employment of the
Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. Such reservation of rights can be modified only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company or the Affiliate employing or otherwise
engaging the Employee. For purposes of this Agreement, the transfer of the employment of the Employee between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) shall not be deemed a Termination of Service. Nothing herein contained
shall affect the Employee’s right to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pension, insurance or other employee welfare plan or program of the Company or any Affiliate. 

10. Changes in Stock. In the event that as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, combination of Shares
or the adjustment in capital stock of the Company or otherwise, or as a result of a merger, consolidation, spin-off or other reorganization, the Company’s Common Stock shall be increased, reduced or otherwise changed, and by virtue of any such
change the Employee shall in his or her capacity as owner of unvested Shares of Restricted Stock which have been awarded to him or her (the “Prior Shares”) be entitled to new or additional or different Shares of stock or securities (other
than rights or warrants to purchase securities); such new or additional or different Shares or securities shall thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock and shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were
applicable to the Prior Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. If the Employee receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Shares, such rights or warrants may be held or exercised by the Employee, provided that until such exercise
any such rights or warrants and after such exercise any Shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants shall be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock and shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions
which were applicable to the Prior Shares pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. The Committee in its absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of such new or additional Shares of stock or securities, rights
or warrants to purchase securities or Shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants. 
 11. Address for
Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company, in care of its Secretary, at 3100 Hansen Way, Palo Alto, California 94304, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter
designate in writing.

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; and (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any
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 grant of the Restricted Stock as the
