 EXHIBIT A 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD 
 Payment for Shares. 

No payment is required for the Common Stock that you receive under this Award. 

Vesting. 
 The Common Stock that you receive under this Award will vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Award Document, provided that you are still employed by the Company at the time such
Common Stock vest. If your employment terminates prior to the date the Common Stock vest (including without limitation a termination by the Company with or without Cause, death, Disability or Retirement, or a voluntary termination by you) all
unvested Common Stock shall be forfeited at the time of such termination. 
 Restricted Shares. 

Shares of Unvested Common Stock that you receive under this Award will be considered “Restricted Shares”. You may not
sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Restricted Shares. Common Stock that vests in
accordance with the “Vesting Schedule” set forth in the Award Document and this Exhibit A will no longer be considered Restricted Shares. 
 Stock Certificates. 
 Your Restricted Shares will be held for you by
the Company in book entry form at its transfer agent until it vests, after which you may request issuance of a certificate. 

Withholding Taxes. 
 No stock certificates will be released to you unless you have made acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of receipt of this Award or the vesting of the Common
Stock that you receive under this Award. These arrangements may include withholding of Common Stock that otherwise would be released to you when they vest. The Fair Market Value of the Common Stock withheld (determined as of the date when the taxes
otherwise would have been withheld in cash) will be applied as a credit against the taxes. 
 [Clawback.

 Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”), the Common
Stock shall not be deemed fully earned or vested, even if distributed to you, if the Common Stock or any portion thereof is deemed incentive compensation and subject to recovery, or “clawback” by the Company pursuant to the provisions of
Dodd-Frank and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or by any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed (the “Rules”). In addition, you hereby acknowledge that this Award Document and the Plan may
be amended as necessary and/or shall be subject to any recoupment policies adopted by the Company to comply with the requirements and/or limitations under Dodd-Frank and the Rules, or any other federal or stock exchange requirements, including by
expressly permitting (or, if applicable, requiring) the Company to revoke, recover and/or clawback the Common Stock.]
