 EXHIBIT A 

TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD GRANT NOTICE 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 

Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit
Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, Eargo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant the number of restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock
Units” or “RSUs”) set forth in the Grant Notice under the Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Each Restricted Stock
Unit represents the right to receive the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock (a “Share”) upon vesting. 

ARTICLE I. 
 GENERAL

 1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the
Grant Notice. 
 1.2 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. 
 GRANT OF
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 
 2.1 Grant of RSUs. Pursuant to the Grant Notice and 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 or continued employment with or service to
the Company or any Subsidiaries and for other good and valuable consideration. 
 2.2 Unsecured Obligation to RSUs. Unless and until
the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, the Participant will have no right to receive a payment in cash or the Common Stock under any such RSUs. Prior to actual payment of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an
unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. 
 2.3 Vesting Schedule.
Subject to Section 2.5 hereof, the RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (rounding down to the nearest whole RSU). 

2.4 Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the award of RSUs pursuant hereto, the Participant agrees to render
faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 2.5 Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of
Service. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Plan, upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, all Restricted Stock Units which have not vested prior to or in connection with such
Termination of Service shall thereupon automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or
personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder. No portion of the RSUs which has not become vested as of the date on which the Participant incurs a Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested, except as
may otherwise be provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Participant. 

  
 A-1 












 2.6 Payment upon Vesting. 

(a) As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no
event later than 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 either (i) pay to the
Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date, rounded down
to the nearest cent, provided, that the maximum amount of such payment per RSU shall be the Maximum Cash per RSU set forth in the Grant Notice or (ii) deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a
number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the RSUs shall be settled in Shares pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(ii) above in the event
the Shares are registered on an effective Form S-8 on the date of settlement and shall otherwise be settled in cash. 

(b) As set forth in Section 10.5 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the
Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. The Company
shall not be obligated to pay any cash or deliver any Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative 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 resulting from the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the payment of cash or the issuance of Shares. 

2.7 Conditions to Delivery of Shares. In the event of a settlement in Shares, the Shares delivered hereunder may be either previously
authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or issued Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares prior to fulfillment of the
conditions set forth in Section 10.7 of the Plan. 
 2.8 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 and any Shares underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares
shall have been issued by the Company and 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 Article IX of the Plan. 
 ARTICLE III.

 OTHER PROVISIONS 

3.1 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the
administration, interpretation and application of the Plan 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 in good faith shall be
final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator or the Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan,
this Agreement or the RSUs. 

  
 A-2 












 3.2 Transferability. The RSUs shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability
set forth in Section 10.1 of the Plan. 
 3.3 Tax Consultation. The Participant understands that the Participant may suffer
adverse tax consequences in connection with the RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement (and the cash payable or 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, the cash payable in respect thereof and the issuance of Shares with respect thereto and that the Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. 

3.4 Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of the RSUs contained herein, this Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
 3.5
Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the RSUs in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. The Participant acknowledges that the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification
and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Article IX of the Plan. 
 3.6 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. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 3.6, 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. 

3.7 Participant’s Representations. If any Shares issuable hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state laws on an effective registration statement at the time of such issuance, the Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with such issuance, make such written representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate
by the Company or its counsel. 
 3.8 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for
interpretation or construction of this Agreement. 
 3.9 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. 

3.10 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 other Applicable Law. 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
Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such Applicable Law. 

  
 A-3 












 3.11 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. 

3.12 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 herein set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 
 3.13 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. 

3.14 Not a Contract of Service Relationship. 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 the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere with or restrict in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to
discharge or to terminate for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the services of the Participant at any time. 
 3.15 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 the
Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided that the RSUs shall be subject to any accelerated vesting provisions in any written agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Company plan pursuant to which the Participant
participates, in each case, in accordance with the terms therein. 
 3.16 Section 409A. This Award is not intended
to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation
any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “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. 

3.17 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. The Participant
shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and its Subsidiaries 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.
