EXHIBIT A

TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT NOTICE

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
AGREEMENT

ARTICLE I.

GENERAL

1.1 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to
the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

ARTICLE II.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RSUS

2.1 Grant of RSUs. Upon the terms and
conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of RSUs under the Plan in consideration of the Participants past and/or
future employment with or service to the Company or any Affiliate and for other good and valuable consideration. In consideration of this grant of RSUs, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or its
Affiliates. Unless and until the RSUs have fully vested in the manner set forth in the Grant Notice, the Participant will have no right to receive any Common Stock or other payment in respect of the RSUs.

2.2 Vesting of RSUs. The RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable, if at all, in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in the Grant Notice.

2.3 Payment of RSUs. As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any
RSUs pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such vesting date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the short term deferral exemption from
Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or the Participants Permitted Transferee, if applicable) a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this award or RSUs that fully vest on the
applicable vesting date (either by delivering one or more certificates for such Shares or by entering such Shares in book entry form, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Shares cannot be
issued within that timeframe pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Plan (or any successor provision thereto), the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines
that Shares can be issued in accordance with such Section.

2.4 Forfeiture and Termination of RSUs. All RSUs granted
under this Agreement shall be forfeited and terminated as set forth in the Grant Notice.

2.5 Conditions to Delivery of
Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Shares deliverable hereunder prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 11.4 of the Plan.

2.6 Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the
Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs or any Shares underlying the RSUs unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and are held of record by such holder (as
evidenced by the appropriate

---

entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date
the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14.2 of the Plan.

ARTICLE III.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

3.1 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company (including without limitation, as provided in
the Grant Notice), an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld (if any) with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the RSUs. The Company shall not be obligated to
deliver any new certificate representing Shares to the Participant or the Participants legal representative or to enter such Shares in book entry form unless and until the Participant or the Participants legal representative shall have
paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant arising in connection with the RSUs or payments thereunder.

3.2 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement as provided in the Plan. All
interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons.

3.3 Grant Not Transferable. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, the RSUs shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 11.3 of the
Plan.

3.4 Adjustments. The Participant acknowledges that the RSUs are subject to modification and termination in
certain events as provided in this Agreement and Article 14 of the Plan.

3.5 Tax Consultation. The Participant
understands that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences in connection with the RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement (and any Shares issuable with respect thereto). The Participant represents that the Participant has consulted with
any tax consultants the Participant deems advisable in connection with the RSUs and the issuance of Shares with respect thereto and that the Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

3.6 Participants Representations. The Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the issuance of any
securities hereunder, make such written representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and/or the Companys counsel.

3.7 Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Administrator may, in its discretion, adopt such amendments to
the Plan or this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an available exemption therefrom, provided, however, that the Administrator shall have no obligation to take any such action(s) or to indemnify any person for failing to do so.

3.8 Amendment, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended
or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, however, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination
of this Agreement shall adversely affect the RSUs in any material way without the prior written consent of the Participant.



A-2



---

3.9 Not a Contract of Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan
shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve as an Employee, Director, Consultant or other service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its
Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement
between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant.

3.10 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the Plan, the RSUs and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any
applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this
Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

3.11 Conformity to
Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as well as all applicable state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the RSUs are granted, only in such a manner as
to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

3.12 Limitation on the Participants Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein
provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. The Plan, in and of itself, has no assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of
a general unsecured creditor of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor
with respect to RSUs, as and when payable hereunder.

3.13 Successors and Assigns. The Company or any Affiliate 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 and its Affiliates. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in
Section 3.3 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

3.14 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto, if any) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all
prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and its Affiliates and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

3.15 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
office, and any notice to be given to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the Participants last address reflected on the Companys records. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by
reputable overnight courier or by certified mail (return receipt requested) through the United States Postal Service.

3.16 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the
interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

3.17 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of
this Agreement.
