APPENDIX A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

1. Grant of Option. The
Company hereby grants to the Director under the Plan, as a separate incentive in connection with his or her service and not in lieu of any other compensation for his or her services, a nonqualified stock option to purchase, on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, all or any part of an aggregate of [NUMBER A] Shares.

2. Exercise
Price. The purchase price per Share for this option (the Exercise Price) shall be $[PRICE], which is the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

3. Number of Shares. The number and class of Shares specified in Paragraph 1 above, and/or the Exercise Price, are subject to
adjustment by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) in the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, Share combination or other change in the
corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares.

4. Vesting Schedule. The right to exercise this option is
scheduled to vest fully as of the Grant Date.

5. Expiration of Option. In the event of the Directors
Termination of Service for any reason other than Disability, resignation, completion of his or her term as a Director or death, the Director may, within one (1) month after the date of such Termination, or prior to the Expiration Date,
whichever shall first occur, exercise this option. In the event of the Directors Termination of Service due to Disability, resignation or completion of his or her term as a Director, the Director may, within three (3) years after the date
of such Termination, or prior to the Expiration Date, whichever shall first occur, exercise this option.

6. Death of
Director. In the event that the Director dies (a) while serving as a director of the Company, (b) prior to delivery of any Shares acquired by exercise of this option prior to the Directors death, or (c) or during the one
(1) month or three (3) year periods referred to in Paragraph 5 above, the Directors designated beneficiary, or if either no beneficiary survives the Director or the Board does not permit beneficiary designations, the administrator or
executor of the Directors estate, may, within three (3) years after the date of death, exercise the option. Any such transferee must furnish the Company (a) written notice of his or her status as a transferee, (b) evidence
satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer of this option and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to such transfer, and (c) written acceptance of the terms and conditions of this option as set forth in
this Agreement.

7. Persons Eligible to Exercise Option. This option shall be exercisable during the Directors
lifetime only by the Director. The option shall not be transferable by the Director, except by (a) a valid beneficiary designation made in a form and manner acceptable to the Board, or (b) will or the applicable laws of descent and
distribution.

8. Exercise of Option. This option may be exercised by the person then entitled to do so as to any
Shares which may then be purchased (a) by giving written notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee), specifying the number of full Shares to be purchased and accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price
(and the amount of any income or other taxes the Company determines is required to be withheld by reason of such exercise), and (b) by giving satisfactory assurances in writing if requested by the Company, signed by the person exercising the
option, that the

Shares to be purchased upon such exercise are being purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. In the absolute discretion of
the Board, the person entitled to exercise the option may elect to satisfy the tax withholding requirement described in subparagraph (a) above by having the Company withhold Shares or by delivering to the Company already-owned Shares. No
partial exercise of this option may be for less than ten (10) Share lots or multiples thereof.

9. Suspension of
Exercisability. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory authority, is necessary or desirable as a condition of the purchase of Shares hereunder, this option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval
shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or
approval of any such governmental authority.

10. No Rights of Stockholder. Neither the Director (nor any beneficiary)
shall be or have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any of the Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of this option, 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 Director (or beneficiary).

11.
No Effect on Service. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon the Director any right to continue service on the Board of the Company or its Subsidiaries (as the case may be).

12. 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 3120 Hansen Way, Palo Alto, California 94304, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

13. Option is Not Transferable. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this option and the rights and privileges conferred hereby may not be transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise
hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this option, or of
any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this option and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately shall become null and void.

14. Maximum Term of Option. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except Paragraph 6 above relating to the death of
the Director (in which case this option is exercisable to the extent set forth therein), this option is not exercisable after the Expiration Date.

15. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this option contained herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives,
successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

16. Conditions to Exercise. The Exercise Price for this option must be
paid in the legal tender of the United States (including, in the Boards sole discretion, by means of a broker-assisted cashless exercise) or, in the Boards sole discretion, in Shares of equivalent value that (a) were previously
issued to the Director and (b) have been held by the Director for at least six (6) months prior thereto. Exercise of this option will not be permitted until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of the appropriate amount
of withholding taxes (as determined by the Company). If the Director fails to remit to the Company such withholding amount within the time period specified by the Board (in its discretion), the award may be forfeited and in such case the Director
shall not receive any of the Shares subject to this Agreement.
