RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT NOTICE 













 Exhibit A 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant
Notice, in the Plan. 
 ARTICLE I. 

GENERAL 

1.1    Award of RSUs. The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth in
the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares or payment of any cash until the time (if ever)
the RSUs have vested. 
 1.2    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control. 

1.3    Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation
payable only from the Company’s general assets. 
 ARTICLE II. 

VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT 

2.1    Vesting; Forfeiture. 

(a)    The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice. In the event of Participant’s
Termination of Service for Cause, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as otherwise determined by the Committee or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company. 

(b)    In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service due to resignation or Participant’s decision not to
stand for reelection as a member of the Board (if applicable), , a number of RSUs equal to the Applicable Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) shall immediately vest as of the date of such Termination of Service. As used herein, “Applicable
Pro Rata Portion” means (i) if, as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, the Participant has served as a member of the Board for at least three years during any period after December 7, 2021, the total
number of RSUs subject to this Award or (ii) in any other case, an amount equal to the total number of RSUs subject to this Award multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of days from the Vesting Commencement Date
through the date on which such Termination of Service occurs and (B) the denominator of which is 365. 
 (c)    In
the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2.1(a) or (b), any unvested RSUs will vest in their entirety as of the date of such Termination of Service. 












 (d)    Notwithstanding anything in the Grant Notice, this Agreement or
the Plan to the contrary, the RSUs will vest in their entirety upon the consummation of a Change in Control so long as Participant has not incurred a Termination of Service prior to the consummation of such Change in Control. 

2.2    Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company declares and pays a cash dividend in respect of its
outstanding Shares and, on the record date for such dividend, Participant holds RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall record the amount of such dividend in a bookkeeping account and pay to Participant an amount in cash equal to
the cash dividends Participant would have received if Participant was the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs held by Participant that have not been settled as of such record date, such payment
to be made on the Settlement Date (the “Dividend Equivalents”). For purposes of clarity, if the RSUs (or any portion thereof) are forfeited by Participant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then Participant shall also forfeit
the Dividend Equivalents, if any, accrued with respect to such forfeited RSUs. No interest will accrue on the Dividend Equivalents between the declaration and payment of the applicable dividends and the settlement of the Dividend Equivalents. 

2.3    Settlement. As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of RSUs pursuant to
Section 2.1 but in no event later than 60 days following the earlier of (a) the vesting date set forth in the Grant Notice and (b) the date of Participant’s Termination of Service that qualifies as a “separation from
service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall deliver to Participant a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award, if any, that have become vested as of such date. All Shares issued
hereunder shall be delivered either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares to Participant or by entering such shares in book-entry form, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The value of Shares shall not bear any
interest owing to the passage of time. 
 ARTICLE III. 

TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING 

3.1    Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s
own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its
agents. 
 3.2    Tax Withholding. To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award results in
compensation income or wages to Participant for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any income tax, social insurance contribution or other
applicable taxes that are required to be withheld in respect of this Award, which arrangements include the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Shares (including previously owned Shares (which is not subject to any pledge or other security
interest), net settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to this Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems
appropriate. If such tax obligations are satisfied through net settlement or the surrender of previously owned Shares, the maximum number of Shares that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of Shares that have


  
 A-2 













 
an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or surrender equal to the aggregate amount of such tax liabilities determined based on the greatest withholding rates for federal, state,
local and/or foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment for the Company with respect to this Award, as determined by the Committee. Any fraction of a Share required to satisfy
such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash to Participant. Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award or disposition of
the underlying shares and that Participant has been advised, and hereby is advised, to consult a tax advisor. Participant represents that Participant is in no manner relying on the Board, the Committee, the Company or an Affiliate or any of their
respective managers, directors, officers, employees or authorized representatives (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, lenders, prospective lenders and financial representatives) for tax advice or an assessment of such tax
consequences. 
 ARTICLE IV. 

OTHER PROVISIONS 

4.1    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are subject to

If to Participant, at Participant’s last known address on file with the Company. Any notice that is delivered personally or by overnight
courier or telecopier in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to have been duly given to Participant when it is mailed by the Company or, if such notice is not mailed to Participant, upon receipt by Participant. Any notice that is addressed

 A-3 













 4.5    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its
rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Plan, this Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 

4.6    Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement, the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed
amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. 
 4.7    Entire Agreement. The Plan, the
Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter
hereof. 
 4.8    Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is
held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement. 

4.9    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than
as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets.
Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash or the Shares as a
general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

4.10    Non-Transferability. During the lifetime of Participant, the RSUs
may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the Shares underlying the RSUs have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed.
Neither the RSUs not any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge,
encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted
disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. 

  
 A-4 













 4.11    Legends. If a stock certificate is issued with respect to
the Shares delivered hereunder, such certificate shall bear such legend or legends as the Committee deems appropriate in order to reflect the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and to ensure compliance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other Applicable Laws. If the Shares issued hereunder are held in book-entry form, then such entry will reflect that the Shares are subject to
the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. 
 4.12    No Right to Continued Service or Awards. Nothing in the
Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Affiliates, which rights are hereby
expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and
Participant. The grant of the RSUs is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future. Any future Awards will be
granted at the sole discretion of the Company. 
 4.13    Satisfaction of Claims. Any issuance or transfer of
Shares or other property to Participant or Participant’s legal representative, heir, legatee or distribute, in accordance with the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all claims of such person hereunder.

 4.14    Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any
electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument. 

4.15    Consent to Electronic Delivery; Electronic Signature. In lieu of receiving documents in paper format,
Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that the Company may be required to deliver (including, without limitation, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award notifications
and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports and all other forms of communications) in connection with this and any other Award made or offered by the Company. Electronic delivery may be via a Company electronic mail system or by
reference to a location on a Company intranet or third party website to which Participant has access. Participant hereby consents to any and all procedures the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery
and acceptance of any such documents that the Company may be required to deliver, and agrees that Participant’s electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, Participant’s manual signature. 

4.16    Company Recoupment of Awards. Participant’s rights with respect to this Award shall in all events be
subject to (a) any right that the Company may have under any Company recoupment policy or other agreement or arrangement with Participant, or (b) any right or obligation that the Company may have regarding the clawback of
“incentive-based compensation” under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

  
 A-5 













 4.17    Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary, the RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or compliant with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be limited, construed and interpreted
in accordance with such intent. If Participant is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Committee, at a time when Participant becomes eligible for settlement of the
RSUs upon his or her “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent necessary to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such settlement will be
delayed until the earlier of: (a) the date that is six months following Participant’s separation from service and (b) Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Affiliates make no representations that
the RSUs provided under this Agreement are exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company or any Affiliate be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may
be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
