 EXHIBIT A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT 
 1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to
the Participant named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan an Award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail. 
 2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the
Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Section 3, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Unit
will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. 
 3. Vesting
Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Restricted Stock Units
scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the
Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs. 
 4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate
the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the
date specified by the Administrator. 
 5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will
immediately terminate. 
 6. Payment after Vesting. 
 (a) Subject to Section 8, any Restricted Stock Units that vest will be paid to
Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(b), such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in
each such case no later than the date that is two-and-one-half (2  1/2) months from the later of (i) the end of the
Company’s tax year that includes the vesting date, or (ii) the end of Participant’s tax year that includes the vesting date.

 (b) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the
vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from
service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as
a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following
Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination as a
Service Provider, unless Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is
the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under
Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal
Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time. 
 7. Death of Participant. Any distribution or
delivery to be made to Participant under this Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s
estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or
regulations pertaining to said transfer. 
 8. Tax Withholding. Until and unless the Administrator determines otherwise, under a
broker-assisted program approved by the Administrator in its discretion from time to time, the number of Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay the minimum income, employment and other applicable taxes required to be withheld
by the Company will be sold at the prevailing market price pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator in its sole discretion may specify from time to time. The proceeds of such sale shall be used to pay Participant’s tax withholding
obligations (and any associated broker or other fees) for the Restricted Stock Units. Only whole Shares will be sold to satisfy any tax withholding obligations pursuant to this Section 8. The number of Shares sold will be rounded up to the
nearest whole Share, with a cash refund remitted to Participant for the value of the Shares sold in excess of the tax withholding obligations (and any associated broker or other fees), all pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may specify
from time to time. By accepting this Award, Participant expressly consents to the sale of Shares to cover the tax withholding obligations (and any associated broker or other fees) and agrees and acknowledges that Participant may not satisfy such
obligations by any means other than such sale of Shares, as set forth under this Section 8, unless required to do so by the Administrator or pursuant to the Administrator’s express written consent.

 If the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) determines not
to allow for satisfaction of Participant’s tax withholding obligations through the sale of Shares as described in the previous paragraph, prior to the issuance of Shares in accordance with Section 6, Participant will pay, or make adequate
arrangements satisfactory to the Company (in its sole discretion) to satisfy all tax withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable tax withholding
obligations legally payable by Participant from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Participant by the Company. Alternatively, the Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from
time to time, may require Participant to satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations, in whole or in part by one or more of the following: (a) paying cash, (b) delivering to the Company already vested and owned Shares having a value
equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (c) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a value equal to the minimum amount statutorily required to be withheld. 
 Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Participant nor will
Participant otherwise be recorded as the legal or beneficial owner of the Shares on the records of the transfer agent or registrar or otherwise, unless and until all income, employment and other taxes have been withheld with respect to such Shares.
All income and other taxes related to the Restricted Stock Units and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of Participant. 
 9. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will 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 will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery,
Participant will 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. 
 10. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award, Participant acknowledges that: 
 (a) the
Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan; 
 (b) the Award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future
awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; 
 (c) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 
 (d) Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

 (e) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item that do not constitute
compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or to the Employer, and Restricted Stock Units are outside the scope of Participant’s employment contract, if any; 
 (f) Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to,
calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; 
 (g) neither the Award of Restricted Stock Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan
confer upon Participant any right with respect to employment, and in the event that Participant is not an employee of the Company, Restricted Stock Units shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company;

 (h) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 
 (i) the value of Shares acquired on vesting of Restricted Stock Units may increase or decrease in value; 
 (j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of unvested Restricted Stock Units resulting from
termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Participant irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that
may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such
claim; 
 (k) The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan; and 
 (l) the Participant is hereby advised to consult with personal
tax, legal and financial advisors before taking any action related to the Plan. 
 11. Data Privacy Notice and Consent. Participant
hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, Participant’s employer, the Company,
its Subsidiaries and its affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. 
 Participant understands that the Company and Participant’s employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone
number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded,

(“Data”). Participant understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in Participant’s country, or
elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential
recipients of the Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of
implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the Shares received upon vesting of the

any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Participant’s
local human resources representative. Participant understands that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent
or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that Participant may contact Participant’s local human resources representative. 
 12. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF
THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND
WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT
CAUSE. 
 13. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to

 14. Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 7, this
grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process.
Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and
privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void. 
 15. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the
transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
 16. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company will 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 to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his
or her estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Where the Company determines that
the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer
cause such violation. The Company will make all 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. 
 17. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of
this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Plan. 
 18. Administrator Authority. The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the
administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All actions
taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for any
action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. 
 19. Electronic Delivery. The
Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to Restricted Stock Units awarded under the Plan or future Restricted Stock Units that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request Participant’s
consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the
Company or another third party designated by the Company.
