APPENDIX A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

1. Grant of Option.The
Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan, as a separate incentive in connection with his or her employment and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for his or her services, a nonqualified stock option to purchase, on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, all or any part of an aggregate of [NUMBER A] Shares.

2. Exercise
Price. The purchase price per Share for this option (the Exercise Price) shall be [PRICE], which is the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

3. Number of Shares. The number and class of Shares specified in Paragraph 1 above, and/or the Exercise Price, are subject to
adjustment by the Committee in the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, Share combination or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the
Shares.

4. Vesting Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the right to exercise this option will
vest as to thirty-three and one-third percent (331/3%) of the Shares specified in Paragraph 1 above on the first
anniversary date of the Grant Date, and as to an additional thirty-three and one-third percent (331/3%) on each
succeeding anniversary date, until the right to exercise this option shall have vested with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of such Shares. On any scheduled vesting date, vesting actually will occur only if the Employee has been
continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate from the Grant Date until such scheduled vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employees Termination of Service due to death, Disability or Retirement (as defined
pursuant to the Companys or other employing Affiliates retirement policies as they may be established from time to time), if the right to exercise any of the Shares specified in Paragraph 1 had not yet vested, then the right to exercise
such Shares will vest on the date of the Employees Termination of Service.

5. Expiration of
Option. In the event of the Employees Termination of Service for any reason other than resignation, Retirement (as defined pursuant to the Companys or the Employees Employers retirement policies as they may be
established from time to time), Disability, death or for cause, the Employee may, within three (3) months after the date of such Termination, or prior to the Expiration Date, whichever shall first occur, exercise any vested but unexercised
portion of this option. In the event of the Employees Termination of Service due to Disability, the Employee may, within one (1) year after the date of such Termination, or prior to the Expiration Date, whichever shall first occur,
exercise any vested but unexercised portion of this option. In the event of the Employees Termination of Service due to Retirement, the Employee may, within three (3) years from the date of such Termination, or prior to the Expiration
Date, whichever shall first occur, exercise any vested but unexercised portion of this option. In the event of the Employees Termination of Service due to resignation, the Employee may, within one (1) month after the date of such
Termination, or prior to the Expiration Date, whichever shall first occur, exercise any vested but unexercised portion of this option. In the event of the Employees Termination of Service by the Company for cause (as determined by the
Company), the Employee may not exercise any portion of this option that is unexercised on the date of such Termination.

6.
Death of Employee. In the event that the Employee dies while in the employ of the Company and/or an Affiliate or during the one (1) month, three (3) month, three (3) year or one (1) year periods referred to in
Paragraph 5 above, the Employees designated beneficiary, or if either no beneficiary survives the Employee or the Committee does not permit beneficiary designations, the administrator or executor of the Employees estate, may, within
three (3) years after the date of death, exercise any vested but unexercised portion of the option. Any such transferee must furnish the

Company (a) written notice of his or her status as a transferee, (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to
establish the validity of the transfer of this option and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to such transfer, and (c) written acceptance of the terms and conditions of this option as set forth in this Agreement.

7. Persons Eligible to Exercise Option. This option shall be exercisable during the Employees lifetime only by the Employee.
The option shall not be transferable by the Employee, except by (a) a valid beneficiary designation made in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee, or (b) will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

8. Exercise of Option. This option may be exercised by the person then entitled to do so as to any Shares which may then be
purchased (a) by giving written notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee), specifying the number of full Shares to be purchased and accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price (and the amount of any
income or other taxes the Company determines is required to be withheld by reason of such exercise), and (b) by giving satisfactory assurances in writing if requested by the Company, signed by the person exercising the option, that the Shares
to be purchased upon such exercise are being purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. In the absolute discretion of the Committee, the person entitled to exercise the option may elect to satisfy the tax withholding
requirement described in subparagraph (a) above by having the Company withhold Shares or by delivering to the Company already-owned Shares. No partial exercise of this option may be for less than ten (10) Share lots or multiples thereof.

9. Suspension of Exercisability. If at any time the Company shall 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 of the purchase of Shares
hereunder, this option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company
shall make 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.

10. No Rights of Stockholder. Neither the Employee (nor any beneficiary) shall be or have any of the rights or privileges of a
stockholder of the Company in respect of any of the Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of this option, unless and until certificates representing such Shares shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents
or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (or beneficiary).

11. No Effect on Service. The Employees
employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. Accordingly, subject to any written, express employment with the Employee, nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon the Employee any right to continue to be
employed by the Company or any Affiliate or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or the Affiliate, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without good cause. Such reservation of rights can be modified only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company or the Affiliate employing or otherwise engaging the Employee. For purposes
of this Agreement, the transfer of the employment of the Employee between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) shall not be deemed a Termination of Service. Nothing herein contained shall affect the Employees right
to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pension, insurance or other employee welfare plan or program of the Company or any Affiliate.

the Company). If the Employee fails to remit to the Company such withholding amount within the time period specified by the Committee (in its discretion), the award may be forfeited and in such case the Employee shall not receive any of the Shares
