 EXHIBIT A 

TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD GRANT NOTICE 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 

Pursuant to the Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached, the Company has granted to Participant the number of RSUs set forth in the
Grant Notice. 
 ARTICLE I. 

GENERAL 
 1.1 Defined
Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan or the Grant Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, 

(a) “Cessation Date” shall mean the date of Participant’s Termination of Service (regardless of the reason for such
termination). 
 (b) “Company Group” shall mean the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

(c) “Company Group Member” shall mean each member of the Company Group. 

(d) “Trade Secrets and Confidential Information” means information that is not generally known to the public and that is
used, developed or obtained by any Company Group Member in connection with its business, including, but not limited to, information, observations and data obtained by Participant while employed by or providing services to any Company Group Member or
any affiliate thereof concerning (i) the business or affairs of the Company Group Members (or such affiliates), (ii) products or services, (iii) fees, costs and pricing structures, (iv) designs, (v) analyses,
(vi) drawings, photographs and reports, (vii) computer software, including operating systems, applications and program listings, (viii) flow charts, manuals and documentation, (ix) data bases, (x) accounting and business

been published (other than a disclosure by Participant in breach of this Agreement) in a form generally available to the public prior to the date Participant proposes to disclose or use such information. Trade Secrets and Confidential Information

prior to the date of Participant’s employment by or services with any Company Group Member) together with all patent applications, letters patent, trademark, trade name and service mark applications or registrations, copyrights and reissues
thereof that may be granted for or upon any of the foregoing. 

  
 A-1 








 1.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and the Plan, each of which is 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. 
 AWARD OF
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS 
 2.1 Award of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents. 

(a) In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to any Company Group Member and for other good and
valuable consideration, effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company has granted to Participant the number of RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Grant Notice, the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share or, at the option of the Company, an amount of cash as set forth in
Section 2.3(b), in either case, at the times and subject to the conditions set forth herein. However, unless and until the RSUs have vested, Participant will have no right to the payment of any Shares subject thereto. Prior to the actual
delivery of any Shares, the RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company. 

(b) The Company hereby grants to Participant an Award of Dividend Equivalents with respect to each RSU granted pursuant to the Grant Notice
for all ordinary cash dividends that are paid to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding Shares between the Grant Date and the date when the applicable RSU is distributed or paid to Participant or is forfeited or expires. The Dividend
Equivalents for each RSU shall be equal to the amount of cash that is paid as a dividend on one Share. All such Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to Participant and be deemed to be reinvested in additional RSUs as of the date of payment of any
such dividend based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date. Each additional RSU that results from such deemed reinvestment of Dividend Equivalents granted hereunder shall be subject to the same vesting, distribution or payment, adjustment
and other provisions that apply to the underlying RSU to which such additional RSU relates. 
 2.2 Vesting of RSUs and Dividend
Equivalents. 
 (a) Subject to Participant’s continued employment with or service to a Company Group Member on each applicable
vesting date and subject to Section 4.8 and Section 4.15, the RSUs shall vest in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice. Each additional RSU that results from deemed reinvestments of Dividend
Equivalents pursuant to Section 2.1(b) hereof shall vest whenever the underlying RSU to which such additional RSU relates vests. 

(b) Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between Participant and the Company, any RSUs and
Dividend Equivalents that have not become vested on or prior to the date of Participant’s Termination of Service (including, without limitation, pursuant to any employment or similar agreement by and between Participant and the Company) shall
be forfeited on the date of Participant’s Termination of Service and shall not thereafter become vested. 

  
 A-2 








 2.3 Distribution or Payment of RSUs. 

(a) Participant’s RSUs shall be distributed in Shares (either in book-entry form or otherwise) or, at the option of the Company, paid in
an amount of cash as set forth in Section 2.3(b), in either case, as soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of the applicable RSU pursuant to Section 2.2, and, in any event, within sixty (60) days
following such vesting (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short-term deferral” exemption from Section 409A). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay a distribution or payment in
settlement of RSUs if it reasonably determines that such payment or distribution will violate Federal securities laws or any other Applicable Law, provided that such distribution or payment shall be made at the earliest date at which the
Company reasonably determines that the making of such distribution or payment will not cause such violation, as required by Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii), and provided further that no payment or distribution
shall be delayed under this Section 2.3(a) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A. 
 (b) In the event
that the Company elects to make payment of Participant’s RSUs in cash, the amount of cash payable with respect to each RSU shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day immediately preceding the applicable distribution or
payment date set forth in Section 2.3(a). All distributions made in Shares shall be made by the Company in the form of whole Shares, and any fractional Share shall be distributed in cash in an amount equal to the value of such fractional
Share determined based on the Fair Market Value as of the date immediately preceding the date of such distribution. 
 2.4 Conditions to
Issuance of Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares or to cause any Shares to be held in book-entry form prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
(a) the admission of the Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Shares are then listed, (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental regulatory body, that the Administrator 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 that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable. 

2.5 Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: 

(a) The Company Group has the authority to deduct or withhold, or require Participant to remit to the applicable Company Group Member, an
amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising pursuant to this Agreement. The Company Group may withhold or Participant may
make such payment in one or more of the forms specified below: 
 (i) by cash or check made payable to the Company Group Member with
respect to which the withholding obligation arises; 
 (ii) by the deduction of such amount from other compensation payable to Participant;

 (iii) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the distribution of the RSUs, with the consent of the
Administrator, by requesting that the Company withhold a net number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the RSUs having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company
Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income; 

  
 A-3 








 (iv) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the distribution of the
RSUs, with the consent of the Administrator, by tendering to the Company vested Shares held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a then current Fair Market Value
not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and
payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income; 
 (v) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with
the distribution of the RSUs, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable to Participant pursuant to the RSUs, and that the broker has
been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises in satisfaction of such withholding taxes; provided that payment of such proceeds is
then made to the applicable Company Group Member at such time as may be required by the Administrator, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale; or 

(vi) in any combination of the foregoing. 

(b) With respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the RSUs, in the event Participant fails to provide timely payment of all
sums required pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Company shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat such failure as an election by Participant to satisfy all or any portion of Participant’s required payment
obligation pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(ii) or Section 2.5(a)(iii) above, or any combination of the foregoing as the Company may determine to be appropriate. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate
representing Shares issuable with respect to the RSUs to, or to cause any such Shares to be held in book-entry form by, Participant or his or her legal representative unless and until Participant or his or her legal representative shall have paid or
otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes applicable with respect to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the vesting or settlement of the RSUs or any other taxable event related to the RSUs.

 (c) In the event any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the RSUs will be satisfied under
Section 2.5(a)(iii), then the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares then issuable to
Participant pursuant to the RSUs as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding obligation and to remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the
withholding obligation arises. Participant’s acceptance of this Award constitutes Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company and such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this Section 2.5(c),
including the transactions described in the previous sentence, as applicable. The Company may refuse to issue any Shares in settlement of the RSUs to Participant until the foregoing tax withholding obligations are satisfied, provided that no
payment shall be delayed under this Section 2.5(c) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A. 
 (d)
Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company Group from, all taxes and social security or national insurance contributions owed in
connection with the RSUs (including the grant or vesting of the RSUs or the acquisition or disposal of any Shares), regardless of any action any Company Group Member takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with
the RSUs. No Company Group Member makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company Group does not
commit and is under no obligation to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability. 

  
 A-4 








 2.6 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 (which may be in book-entry form) will have been issued and
recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars and delivered to Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). Except as otherwise provided herein, after such issuance, recordation and
delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares, including, without limitation, the right to receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares. 

ARTICLE III. 

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS 
 3.1
Confidential Information. 
 (a) Participant shall not disclose or use at any time, either during his or her service as an employee
or other service provider of any Company Group Member or thereafter, any Trade Secrets and Confidential Information of which he or she becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by Participant, except to the extent that such
disclosure or use is directly related to and required by Participant’s performance in good faith of duties for the Company Group. Participant will take all appropriate steps to safeguard Trade Secrets and Confidential Information in his or her
possession and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Participant shall deliver to the Company at the termination of his or her employment or services, or at any time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes,
plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Trade Secrets and Confidential Information or the Work Product of the business of the Company Group that Participant may then
possess or have under his or her control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant may truthfully respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process, but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof. 

(b) All Work Product that Participant may have discovered, invented or originated during his or her employment by, or service to, any Company
Group Member(s) prior to such employment or service, that Participant may discover, invent or originate during his or her employment or service or at any time following the termination of his or her employment with, or service to, the applicable
Company Group Member(s), shall be the exclusive property of the Company Group, and Participant hereby assigns all of his or her right, title and interest in and to such Work Product to the Company or the applicable Company Group Member, including
all intellectual property rights therein. Participant shall promptly disclose all Work Product to the Company, shall execute at the request of the Company any assignments or other documents the Company may deem necessary to protect or perfect its
(or any Company Group Member’s as applicable) rights therein, and shall assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Company’s (or any Company Group Member’s, as applicable) rights
therein. Participant hereby appoints the Company as his or her attorney-in-fact to execute on his or her behalf any assignments or other documents deemed necessary by the Company to protect or perfect each Company Group Member’s rights to any
Work Product. 
 3.2 Restriction on Competition. During Participant’s service as an employee or other service provider of any
Company Group Member and thereafter through the date that is twelve (12) months following the Cessation Date (as applicable, the “Restricted Period”), Participant shall not operate, have any ownership interest in, enter the
employ of, provide consulting services for or to, serve as a board 

  
 A-5 








 
member of, or render services or advice in any similar capacity to, any contract research organization that provides clinical trial management, laboratory, imaging, regulatory, monitoring, data
management, biometrics or medical writing services or support of clinical trials or development programs sponsored by the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device companies or industries (any of the foregoing, a “Competitive
Business”) in North America and elsewhere in the world where the Company Group engages in business, or reasonably anticipates engaging in business, on the applicable Cessation Date (the “Restricted Area”), or perform
management, executive or supervisory functions with respect to, join, control, render financial assistance to, receive any economic benefit from, exert any influence upon, participate in, render services or advice to, any business or Person that
engages or could reasonably be expected to engage in a Competitive Business in the Restricted Area; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 3.2, ownership of securities having no more than five percent
(5%) of the outstanding voting power of any Competitive Business which is listed on any national securities exchange shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 3.2 as long as the Person owning such securities has no other
connection or relationship with such competitor. 
 3.3 Non-Solicitation and Non-Interference with Customers, etc. During the
Restricted Period, Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any Person that is, or was at any time during the twelve (12) month period preceding the Cessation Date, a customer, supplier, manufacturer or other
material business relation of any Company Group Member to cease doing business with any Company Group Member or in any way interfere with the relationship between any Company Group Member and any such customer, supplier, manufacturer or other
material business relation, or solicit, directly or indirectly, for any competitive purpose, the business of any such customer, supplier, manufacturer or business relation of any Company Group Member. 

3.4 Non-Solicitation of Company Group Employees. During the Restricted Period, Participant shall not solicit, recruit or hire, directly
or indirectly, any Person who at any time on or after the Grant Date is a Company Group Employee; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or (b) Participant from
soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Company Group Employee who has ceased to be employed or retained by any Company Group Member for at least 12 months. For purposes of this Section 3.4, “Company Group Employees” means,
collectively, officers, directors and employees or substantially full-time consultants of the Company Group Members. 
 3.5
Non-Disparagement. Participant shall not at any time, either during or after his or her service as an employee or other service provider of a Company Group Member, (a) directly or indirectly, make or affirmatively ratify any statement,
public or private, oral or written, to any Person that disparages, either professionally or personally, any Company Group Member or any affiliate or stockholder thereof, past and present, or any of their respective directors, officers, agents,
attorneys, insurers, employees, stockholders, and successors, past and present, or (b) make any statement or engage in any conduct that has the purpose or effect of disrupting the business of any Company Group Member or any affiliate or
stockholder thereof; provided that nothing in this provision shall in any way limit Participant’s right to (i) make truthful statements to correct any false statements made by any Company Group Member about Participant or
(ii) provide truthful information to a government agency, to respond to a subpoena, or to testify truthfully under oath. 
 3.6
Understanding of Covenants. Participant agrees that the foregoing covenants set forth in this Article III (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable, including in temporal and geographical scope, and in all other
respects, and necessary to protect the Company Group’s confidential information, goodwill, stable workforce, and customer relations. Participant and the Company intend that the Restrictive Covenants shall be deemed to be a series of separate
covenants, one for each county or province of each and every state or jurisdiction within the Restricted Area and one for each month of the 

  
 A-6 








 
Restricted Period. Participant understands that the Restrictive Covenants may limit his or her ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company Group, but
nevertheless believes that he or she has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee or other service provider of a Company Group Member and as otherwise provided hereunder to clearly justify such
restrictions which, in any event (given Participant’s education, skills and ability), Participant does not believe would prevent him or her from otherwise earning a living. Participant agrees that the Restrictive Covenants do not confer a
benefit upon the Company Group disproportionate to Participant’s detriment. Participant has independently consulted with his or her counsel and after such consultation agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and proper to protect
the legitimate interest of the Company Group. 
 3.7 Enforcement. Participant acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are an
essential element of this Agreement and are being provided in consideration of the RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement, and that any breach by Participant of any provision of this Article III will result in irreparable injury to the
Company Group. The Participant acknowledges that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving
actual damages or posting a bond therefor. If, at the time of enforcement of this Article III a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold that either the duration or scope stated herein is unreasonable under the circumstances then existing,
the parties agree that the maximum duration or scope under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration or scope and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period and scope
permitted by Applicable Law. To the extent of any breach of this Article III by Participant, his or her Restricted Period shall automatically be extended by the length of such breach. 

3.8 Forfeiture Upon Violation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may provide to the contrary, in the event of
Participant’s violation of any Restrictive Covenant within this Article III or any other agreement by and between Participant and any Company Group Member, as determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, then (a) the RSUs
shall immediately be forfeited in their entirety and (b) Participant shall pay to the Company in cash any financial gain Participant realized from the payment of all or a portion of the RSUs during the 12-month period immediately preceding (or
at any time after) the date of such violation. For purposes of this Section 3.8, “financial gain” shall equal the sum of (x) the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of payment of the RSUs
and (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the time of Participant’s sale of such Shares, multiplied by the number of Shares paid to Participant (without reduction for any Shares surrendered) (or, if the RSUs were settled in
cash pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the amount of cash so paid to Participant) and (y) any and all dividends paid to Participant with respect to the Shares distributed. By accepting the RSUs, Participant hereby acknowledges, agrees and
authorizes the Company to reduce any amounts owed by any Company Group Member (including amounts owed as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits, or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to Participant by any Company Group Member), by
the amounts Participant owes to the Company under this Section 3.8. To the extent such amounts are not recovered by the Company through such set-off, Participant agrees to pay such amounts immediately to the Company upon demand. This
right of set-off is in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against Participant for Participant’s breach of this Agreement or any other agreement. Participant’s obligations under this Section 3.8 shall be
cumulative (but not duplicative) of any similar obligations Participant may have pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement with any Company Group Member. 

  
 A-7 








 ARTICLE IV. 

OTHER PROVISIONS 
 4.1
Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement
as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested
Persons. To the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Law, no member of the Committee or the Board will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement. 

4.2 RSUs Not Transferable. The RSUs may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, unless and until the Shares underlying the RSUs have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed. Neither the RSUs nor any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts,
contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or
involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent
that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the consent of the Administrator, the RSUs may be transferred to Permitted Transferees pursuant to any conditions and procedures the Administrator may
require. 
 4.3 Adjustments. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the RSUs in such circumstances as
it, in its sole discretion, may determine. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan, including
Section 13.2 of the Plan. 
 4.4 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 Participant shall be addressed to Participant at Participant’s last address reflected on the Company’s
records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 4.4, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified
mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service. 

4.5 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this
Agreement. 
 4.6 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. 

4.7 Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform
to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and
state securities laws 

  
 A-8 








 
and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the RSUs are granted and may be settled, only in such a manner as to conform to Applicable
Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law. 

4.8 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 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 Participant. 
 4.9 Successors and
Assigns. The Company 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. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth
in Section 4.2 and the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 

4.10 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if
Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the RSUs (including any RSUs that result from the deemed reinvestment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grant Notice 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. 
 4.11 Not
a Contract of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of any Company Group Member or shall interfere with or restrict in any way
the rights of the Company Group, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a
written agreement between a Company Group Member and Participant. 
 4.12 Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and RSUs. In accepting the
RSUs, Participant acknowledges that: 
 (a) the award of the RSUs (and the Shares subject to the RSUs) the Company is making under the Plan
is unilateral and discretionary and will not give rise to any future obligation on the Company to make further Awards under the Plan to the Participant; 

(b) for labor law purposes, the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are not part of normal or expected wages or salary for any purposes,
including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event
should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof; 

(c) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

(d) the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; 

  
 A-9 








 (e) neither the RSUs 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 or continuation of current employment and shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with any Company Group Member or any affiliate
thereof, and any modification of the Plan or the Agreement or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of employment; 

(f) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the RSUs vest and Participant obtains
Shares, the value of the Shares acquired may increase or decrease in value; and 
 (g) in consideration of the grant of the RSUs hereunder,
no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the RSUs, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of Participant’s employment by any
Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Participant irrevocably releases each Company Group Member 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, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim. 

4.13 Consent to Personal Data Processing and Transfer. By acceptance of the RSUs, Participant acknowledges and consents to the
collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described below. The Company Group holds certain personal information, including Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other
employee tax identification number, employment history and status, salary, nationality, job title, and any equity compensation grants or Shares awarded, cancelled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the
purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). Participant is aware that providing the Company with Participant’s Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that Participant’s refusal to provide
such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. The Company Group will transfer Data to third parties in the course of its or their
business, including for the purpose of assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. However, from time to time and without notice, the Company Group may retain additional or different third parties for any
of the purposes mentioned. The Company Group may also make Data available to public authorities where required under Applicable Law. Such recipients may be located in the jurisdiction which Participant is based or elsewhere in the world, which
Participant separately and expressly consents to, accepting that outside the jurisdiction which Participant is based, data protection laws may not be as protective as within. Participant hereby authorizes the Company Group and all such third parties
to receive, possess, use, retain, process and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, in the course of the Company Group’s business, including for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan, and
including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan on behalf of Participant to a third party to whom Participant may have elected to have payment made pursuant to the Plan. Participant understands
that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to
it or withdraw the consent herein in writing by contacting the Company through its local human resources representative; however, withdrawing the consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and receive the benefits
intended by these RSUs. Data will only be held as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan and any subsequent claims or rights.

 4.14 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any
exhibit hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, subject to the last sentence of
Section 3.8 hereof. 
 4.15 Section 409A. This Award is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that this Award (or any portion thereof) may be
subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other Person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice
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 for this Award either to be
exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. 
 4.16 Agreement
Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the
remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement. 
 4.17 Limitation on 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. Neither the Plan nor any
underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs and Dividend
Equivalents. 
 4.18 Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic
signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. 

4.19 Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of any broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of withholding taxes as
provided in Section 2.5(a)(v) or Section 2.5(c): (a) any Shares to be sold through a broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the tax withholding obligation arises or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) such
Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other participants in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (c) Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and Participant agrees
to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the applicable tax withholding obligation, the Company agrees to pay such
excess in cash to Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) Participant acknowledges that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may
not be sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation; and (f) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation, Participant agrees to pay immediately upon demand to
the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the applicable Company Group Member’s withholding obligation.
