APPENDIX A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK

1. Grant of Restricted Stock. The Company
hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan, for past services and 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, an award of [NUMBER A] Shares of
Restricted Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.

2. Shares Held in Escrow. Unless and
until the Shares of Restricted Stock vest in the manner set forth in Paragraphs 3, 4 or 5, the Shares shall be issued in the name of the Employee and held by the Secretary of the Company as escrow agent (the Escrow Agent), and shall
not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated. The Company may instruct the transfer agent for its common stock to place a legend on the certificates representing the Shares or otherwise note
its records as to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall 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. Number of Shares; Changes in Stock. The number and
class of Shares specified in Paragraph 1 above 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. In the event of any such 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, by virtue of which the Employee shall, in his or her capacity as owner of unvested Shares awarded to him or her under this Agreement (the Prior Shares), be entitled to new or
additional or different shares of stock or securities (other than rights or warrants to purchase securities), such new or additional or different shares or securities shall thereupon be considered to be unvested Shares of Restricted Stock and shall
be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which 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 shall be considered to be unvested Shares of
Restricted Stock and shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Shares pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. The Committee in its absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all
or any portion of such new or additional shares of stock or securities, rights or warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants.

4. Vesting Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Shares will vest as to thirty-three and one-third percent
(33-1/3%) 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 (33-1/3%) 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 or 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 vesting of any of the Shares specified in Paragraph 1 had not yet vested, then such unvested Shares will vest on the date of the Employees Termination of Service.

5. Forfeiture. Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 4, and notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Shares which have not vested at the time of the Employees Termination of Service shall thereupon be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to
the Company. 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 unvested Shares to the Company upon such Termination of Service.

6. Death of Employee. In the event that the Employee dies while in the employ of the Company and/or an Affiliate, any distribution or
delivery to be made to the Employee under this Agreement shall be made to the Employees designated beneficiary, or if either no beneficiary survives the Employee or the Committee does not permit beneficiary designations, to the administrator
or executor of the Employees estate. Any designation of a beneficiary by the Employee shall be effective only if such designation is made in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. Any transferee must furnish the Company with
(a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to such transfer, and (c) written
acceptance of the terms and conditions of this grant as set forth in this Agreement.

7. Payment of Taxes. The Company or the
employing Affiliate will withhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay 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 Company, in its sole discretion, requires the Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding
obligations. The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the foregoing sentence will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with no refund to the Employee for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a result of such
rounding. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be delivered to the Employee unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) 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 Shares are the sole responsibility of the Employee.

8. Rights as Stockholder. Neither
the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee shall 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 shall
have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Escrow Agent or the Employee. Except as provided in Paragraph 11, after such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee
shall 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.

9. 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

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.

10. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be

hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or of 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 shall

listed; and (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any State or Federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body,
which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; and (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any State or Federal governmental agency, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion,
determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the Grant Date as the Committee may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience.
