    EXHIBIT A

    

    

    TO RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT NOTICE

    

    

    RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

    

    

    Pursuant to the Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached, the Company has granted to Participant the number of Shares indicated in the Grant Notice.

    

    

    1.    Grant of Restricted Stock.

    

    

    (a)    Grant of Restricted Stock. In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company and
      for other good and valuable consideration, which the Administrator has determined exceeds the par value per Share, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company grants to Participant the Shares set forth in the Grant
      Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.

    

    

    (b)    Issuance of Shares. On the Grant Date, the Company shall issue the Shares to Participant and shall (i) cause a share certificate or certificates representing the Shares
      to be registered in the name of Participant, or (ii) cause such Shares to be held in book entry form. If a share certificate is issued, it shall be delivered to and held in custody by the Company and shall bear the restrictive legends required by
      Section 4(a) below. If the Shares are held in book entry form, then such entry will reflect that the Shares are subject to the restrictions of this Agreement.

    

    

    (c)    Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon issuance of the Shares by the Company to Participant (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the
      books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said Shares, including the right to receive any cash or stock dividends or other distributions paid to
      or made with respect to the Shares, subject to the restrictions described in the following sentence, which restrictions shall lapse when the Unreleased Shares are released from the Forfeiture Restriction as set forth in Section 2. Unless otherwise
      provided by the Administrator, if any dividends or distributions are paid in cash or shares, or consist of a dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock of property, the cash, shares or other property paid or made with respect to Unreleased
      Shares will be retained in custody by the Company (without interest) (the “Retained Distributions”) and subject to the same forfeiture and transferability restrictions as the Unreleased
      Shares with respect to which they were paid or made and shall automatically be forfeited to the Company for no consideration in the event of the forfeiture of the Unreleased Shares with respect to which they were paid pursuant to the Forfeiture
      Restriction. Any Retained Distributions held by the Company that were paid on those Unreleased Shares as to which the Forfeiture Restriction and transfer restrictions lapse or are removed shall also be released to Participant at the time of such
      lapse or removal. In no event shall a Retained Distribution be paid with respect to Unreleased Shares later than the end of the calendar year in which the corresponding dividends or distributions are paid to holders of Common Stock or, if later, the
      15th day of the third month following the later of (a) the date the dividends or distributions are paid to holders of Common Stock and (b) the date the Unreleased Shares with respect to which the Retained Distributions are paid vest. When Unreleased
      Shares are released from the Forfeiture Restrictions, Participant shall enjoy rights as a stockholder with respect to such Shares until such time as Participant disposes of such Shares.

    

    

    2.    Restrictions on Shares.

    

    

    (a)    Forfeiture Restriction. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) below, in the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all of the Shares which,
      from time to time, have not yet vested and been released from the Forfeiture Restriction (together with and any Retained Distributions paid thereon pursuant to Section 1(c) and held by the Company, the “Unreleased Shares”) shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company (the “Forfeiture Restriction”). Upon the occurrence of such
      forfeiture, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unreleased Shares, and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of
      Unreleased Shares being forfeited by Participant. The Unreleased Shares shall be held by the Company in accordance with Section 3 until the Shares are forfeited as provided in this Section 2(a), until such Unreleased Shares are fully released from
      the Forfeiture Restriction, or until such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect. Participant hereby authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Administrator, to transfer the Unreleased Shares
      which have been forfeited pursuant to this Section 2(a) from Participant to the Company.

    
      
        


    

    (b)    Release of Shares from Forfeiture Restriction. The Shares shall be released from the Forfeiture Restriction in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the
      Grant Notice. As soon as administratively practicable following the release of any Shares from the Forfeiture Restriction, the Company shall, as applicable, either deliver to Participant the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the
      Company’s possession belonging to Participant, or, if the Shares are held in book entry form, then the Company shall remove the notations on the book form. Participant (or the beneficiary or personal representative of Participant in the event of
      Participant’s death or incapacity, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances as the Company or its representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such delivery.

    

    

    (c)    Transferability. Except as otherwise permitted by the Administrator, the Unreleased Shares shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by
      Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

    

    

    (d)    Forfeiture upon Termination for Cause or Restrictive Covenant Breach.  If Participant’s Termination of Service is for Cause, or Participant breaches any restrictive
      covenants contained in an agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary, as determined in good faith by the Board, then all Shares (whether vested or unvested) granted pursuant to this Agreement shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without
      any further action by the Company (the “Clawback Shares”).  Upon the occurrence of such forfeiture, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Clawback Shares, and all
      rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Clawback Shares being forfeited by Participant.  To the extent that Participant has sold or otherwise disposed
      of any Clawback Shares prior to the date of such determination, then Participant shall be required to pay to the Company any and all proceeds received by Participant as a result of such sale or other disposition.

    

    

    3.    Escrow. To insure the availability for delivery of the Unreleased Shares in the event of the application of the Forfeiture Restriction, Participant
      appoints the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Administrator from time to time as escrow agent, as its attorney-in-fact to sell, assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unreleased Shares, if any, forfeited pursuant
      to the Forfeiture Restriction, together with any Retained Distributions paid thereon pursuant to Section 1(c) and held by the Company, and shall deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the
      Administrator from time to time, the share certificate(s) representing the Shares, together with the Stock Assignment. The Unreleased Shares and Stock Assignment (and any Retained Distributions) shall be held by the Secretary of the Company, or such
      other person designated by the Administrator from time to time, in escrow, until the Shares are forfeited as provided in Section 2(a), until such Shares are fully released from the Forfeiture Restriction or until such time as this Agreement no longer
      is in effect. Upon release of the Unreleased Shares from the Forfeiture Restriction, the escrow agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable deliver to Participant the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the escrow agent’s
      possession belonging to Participant, and the escrow agent shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder. The Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares (or any
      Retained Distributions) in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment.

    

    

    4.    Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

    

    

    (a)    Legends. Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall cause any certificates issued evidencing the Shares to have the legends set forth below or legends
      substantially equivalent thereto, together with any other legends that may be required by Applicable Laws:

    

    

    THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“ACT”), NOR HAVE THEY BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH
      SECURITIES WILL BE PERMITTED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT, OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH MAY BE COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY)
      REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT AND WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

    
      
        


    

    THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE PURSUANT TO, AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS
      ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. SUCH FORFEITURE AND/OR TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

    

    

    (b)    Stop Transfer Orders. Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to in the Plan and this Agreement, the Company may issue
      appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

    

    

    (c)    Impermissible Transfers Void. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any
      of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred. Any transfer or attempted transfer
      of the Shares not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be void.

    

    

    5.    Taxes.

    

    

    (a)    Tax Consequences of Award. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Participant’s receipt of, vesting in or
      disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the receipt of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.
      Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that
      may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

    

    

    (b)    Section 83(b) Election for Unreleased Shares. Participant acknowledges that, unless an election is filed by Participant with the Internal Revenue Service and, if
      necessary, the proper state taxing authorities, within thirty days of the receipt of the Unreleased Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (and similar state tax provisions if applicable) to be taxed currently on their Fair Market
      Value on the date of issuance, there will be a recognition of taxable income to the Participant equal to the Fair Market Value of the Unreleased Shares at the time the Forfeiture Restriction lapses. Participant represents that Participant has
      consulted any tax consultant(s) Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase of the Shares or the filing of the election under Section 83(b) of the Code and similar tax provisions.

    

    

    PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE, AND THE COMPANY AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION
      OR AUTHORITY TO MAKE THIS FILING ON PARTICIPANT’S BEHALF.

    

    

    (c)    Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to
      satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including Participant’s employment tax obligation) required by Applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning Participant arising as a result of the grant or vesting of the
      Shares or otherwise under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the authority to deduct such amounts from other compensation payable to Participant by the Company.

    

    

    6.    Miscellaneous.

    

    

    (a)    No Right To Employment or Other Status.    No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving
      Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with Participant free from any liability or claim under
      the Plan or this Agreement.

    
      
        


    

    (b)    Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the
      Company’s principal executive offices, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at the most-recent physical or email address for Participant listed in the Company’s personnel records. By a notice given pursuant to
      this Section 6(b), either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with
      postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

    

    

    (c)    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
      the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

    

    

    (d)    Severability. In the event any portion of the Plan or this Agreement or any action taken pursuant hereto shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality
      or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan and this Agreement, and the Plan and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included, and the illegal or invalid action shall
      be null and void.

    

    

    (e)    Entire Agreement; Governing Documents. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) 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. In the event of any contradiction between the Plan and this Agreement or any other written agreement between a
      Participant and the Company that has been approved by the Administrator, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Participant hereby agrees to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as the Company requests to carry out the
      purposes and intent of this Agreement and the Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions on the transferability of shares of Common Stock.

    

    

    (f)    Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made thereunder, including the Shares, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
      State of Delaware, disregarding choice-of-law principles of the law of any state that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.

    

    

    (g)    Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of this
      Agreement, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

    

    

    (h)    Clawback. Compensation paid to the Participant under this Agreement is subject to recoupment in accordance with any compensation recovery or clawback policy
      of the Company in effect from time to time, including any such policy adopted after the date of this Agreement, as well as any similar requirement of applicable law, including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
      Protection Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and rules adopted by a governmental agency or applicable securities exchange under any such law. Participant agrees to promptly repay or return any such compensation as directed by the Company under
      any such policy or requirement, including the value received from a disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to this  Agreement.
