 APPENDIX A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD 
 1. Award. The Company hereby grants to the
Employee under the Plan an award of Shares for $0.001 per Share, commencing on the Date of Award, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. By accepting this award of Restricted Stock, the par value purchase price
for each Share of Restricted Stock (a) will be deemed paid by the Employee by past services rendered by the Employee, if the Employee is an existing employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or a newly-hired employee who has not made
an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code, or (b) shall be paid to the Company by cash or check by the Employee, if the Employee is a newly-hired employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and has made an election pursuant
to Section 83(b) of the Code. Only whole shares shall be issued. 
 2. Shares Held in Escrow. Unless and until the Shares will
have vested in the manner set forth in paragraphs 3 through 5, such Shares will be issued in the name of the Employee and held by the Shareholder Services Department of the Company (or its designee) as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”),
and will not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, and will not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated. The Company may determine to issue the Shares in book entry form and/or may instruct the transfer agent for its Common Stock to place a
legend on the certificates representing the Restricted Stock or otherwise note its records as to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The certificate or certificates representing such Shares will not be delivered by
the Escrow Agent to the Employee unless and until the Shares have vested and all other terms and conditions in this Agreement have been satisfied. 
 3. Vesting Schedule/Period of Restriction. Except as provided in paragraph 4, and subject to paragraph 5, the Shares awarded by this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth on the first page of this
Agreement. Shares shall not vest in the Employee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Employee remains a Service Provider from the Date of Award until the date(s) vesting otherwise is scheduled to occur. 

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 Shares at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Shares will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. 
 5. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Shares that have not vested at the time of
Employee’s ceasing to be a Service Provider will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company upon the date the Employee ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason. The Employee shall
not be entitled to a refund of the price paid for the Shares returned to the Company pursuant to this paragraph 5. The Employee hereby appoints the Escrow Agent with full power of substitution, as the Employee’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with irrevocable power and authority in the name and on behalf of the Employee to take any action and execute all documents and instruments, including, without limitation, stock powers which may be necessary to transfer the certificate or
certificates evidencing such forfeited Shares to the Company.

 6. Withholding of Taxes. The Company (or the employing affiliate) will withhold a portion of the
Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay foreign, federal, state and local income, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company or the employing affiliate with respect to the Shares, unless the
Adminstrator, in its sole discretion, requires or permits the Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding obligations. The Administrator, in its sole
discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit the Employee to satisfy his or her tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by one or more of the following (without limitation): (a) paying cash,
(b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld, or (c) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to
Employee through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Restricted Stock will
be granted unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) will have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with
respect to such Shares. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing affiliate) has the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash having a sufficient value to
satisfy any tax withholding obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All income and other taxes related to the Restricted Stock award and any Shares delivered in payment
thereof are the sole responsibility of the Employee. By accepting this award, the Employee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to any additional cash withholding as provided for in this paragraph 6. Only whole Shares will be
withheld or sold to satisfy any tax withholding obligations pursuant to this paragraph 6. The number of Shares withheld will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with a cash refund to the Employee for any value of the Shares withheld in
excess of the tax obligation (pursuant to such procedures as the Company may specify from time to time). To the extent that the cash refund described in the preceding sentence is not administratively feasible, as determined by the Company in its
sole discretion, the number of Shares withheld will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share and, in accordance with this paragraph 6 and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company will retain from salary or other amounts payable to the
Employee cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any additional tax withholding. 
 7. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee
nor any person claiming under or through the Employee 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 the Employee or the Escrow Agent. Except as provided in paragraph 9, after such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the
rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares. 
 8. No Effect on Employment. Subject to any employment
contract with the Employee, the terms of such employment will be determined from time to time by the Company, or the affiliate employing the Employee, as the case may be, and the Company, or the affiliate employing the Employee, as the case may be,
will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate

or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. The transactions contemplated
hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any period of time. 
 9. Changes in Shares. In the event that as a result of a stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, distribution, reclassification,
recapitalization, combination of shares or the adjustment in capital stock of the Company or otherwise, or as a result of a merger, consolidation, spin-off or other corporate transaction or event, the Shares will be increased, reduced or otherwise
affected, and by virtue of any such event the Employee will in his or her capacity as owner of unvested Shares which have been awarded to him or her (the “Prior Shares”) be entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock, cash
or other securities or property (other than rights or warrants to purchase securities); such new or additional or different shares, cash or securities or property will thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock and will be subject to
all of the conditions and restrictions that were applicable to the Prior Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. If the Employee receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Shares, such rights or warrants may be held or exercised
by the Employee, provided that until such exercise any such rights or warrants and after such exercise any shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants will be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock and will be
subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Shares pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. The Administrator in its absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of such
new or additional shares of Restricted Stock, cash or securities, rights or warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants. 
 10. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of
Shareholder Services, TIBCO Software Inc., 3303 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. 
 11. Award is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in this Agreement, the unvested Shares subject to this award 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
any unvested Shares subject to this award, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become
null and void. 
 12. Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued under this Agreement will be registered under U. S.
federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon vesting. However, an Employee’s subsequent sale of the Shares may be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the Company’s
insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities laws.

advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U. S. state or federal governmental agency, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of
