 Exhibit A 

OPTION AGREEMENT 

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant
Notice, in the Plan. 
 ARTICLE I. 

GENERAL 

1.1    Grant of Option. The Company has granted to Participant the Option effective as of the grant date set forth
in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). 
 1.2    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The
Option is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control. 

ARTICLE II. 
 PERIOD OF
EXERCISABILITY 
 2.1    Commencement of Exercisability. The Option will vest and become exercisable
according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice (the “Vesting Schedule”) except that any fraction of a Share as to which the Option would be vested or exercisable will be accumulated and will vest and become exercisable
only when a whole Share has accumulated. Notwithstanding anything in the Grant Notice, the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, unless the Administrator otherwise determines, the Option will immediately expire and be forfeited as to any portion
that is not vested and exercisable as of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason. 
 2.2    Duration
of Exercisability. The Vesting Schedule is cumulative. Any portion of the Option which vests and becomes exercisable will remain vested and exercisable until the Option expires. The Option will be forfeited immediately upon its expiration. 

2.3    Expiration of Option. The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after, and will expire on, the
first of the following to occur: 
 (a)    The final expiration date in the Grant Notice; 

(b)    Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, the expiration of three (3) months from the date of
Participant’s Termination of Service, unless Participant’s Termination of Service is for Cause or by reason of Participant’s death or Disability; 

(c)    Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, the expiration of one (1) year from the date of
Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of Participant’s death or Disability; and 
 (d)    Except as
the Administrator may otherwise approve, Participant’s Termination of Service for Cause. 

 ARTICLE III. 

EXERCISE OF OPTION 

3.1    Person Eligible to Exercise. During Participant’s lifetime, only Participant may exercise the Option.
After Participant’s death, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time the Option expires, be exercised by Participant’s Designated Beneficiary as provided in the Plan. 

3.2    Partial Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable,
may be exercised, in whole or in part, according to the procedures in the Plan at any time prior to the time the Option or portion thereof expires, except that the Option may only be exercised for whole Shares. 

3.3    Tax Withholding. 

(a)    The Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely
payment in accordance with the Plan of any withholding tax arising in connection with the Option as Participant’s election to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding tax by requesting the Company retain Shares otherwise issuable under the
Option. 
 (b)    Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in
connection with the Option, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Option. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or
undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure
the Option to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability. 
 ARTICLE IV. 

OTHER PROVISIONS 

4.1    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination
in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan. 
 4.2    Notices. Any notice to be given under the
terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number. Any notice
to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant (or, if Participant is then deceased, to the person entitled to exercise the Option) at Participant’s last known mailing address, email
address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually
received, when sent by email, 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, when delivered by a nationally
recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation. 
 4.3    Titles.
Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement. 

4.4    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 and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws. 

  
 A-2 

 4.5    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its
rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Plan, this Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 

4.6    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 Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Option will 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) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be
deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. 
 4.7    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. 
 4.8    Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this
Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement. 

4.9    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 may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets.
Participant will 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 Option, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general
unsecured creditor with respect to the Option, as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 4.10    Not a
Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, 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 the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant. 
 4.11    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 will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument. 

4.12    Incentive Options. If the Option is designated as an Incentive Option: 

(a)    Participant acknowledges that to the extent the aggregate fair market value of shares (determined as of the time
the option with respect to the shares is granted) with respect to which options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, including the Option, are exercisable for the first time by Participant
during any calendar year exceeds $100,000 or if for any other reason such options do not qualify or cease to qualify for treatment as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, such options (including the Option) will be
treated as non-qualified options. Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence will 

  
 A-3 

 
be applied by taking the Option and other options into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code. Participant acknowledges that
amendments or modifications made to the Option pursuant to the Plan that would cause the Option to become a Non-Qualified Option will not materially or adversely affect Participant’s rights under the
Option, and that any such amendment or modification shall not require Participant’s consent. Participant also acknowledges that if the Option is exercised more than three (3) months after Participant’s Termination of Service as an
Employee, other than by reason of death or disability, the Option will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Option. 

(b)    Participant will give prompt written notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any Shares
acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or other transfer is made (a) within two (2) years from the Grant Date or (b) within one (1) year after the transfer of such Shares to Participant. Such notice will specify the
date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

 Exhibit A 

RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT 

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant
Notice, in the Plan. 
 ARTICLE I. 

GENERAL 

1.1    Issuance of Restricted Shares. The Company will issue the Restricted Shares to the Participant effective as
of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice and will cause (a) a share certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Shares to be registered in Participant’s name or (b) the Restricted Shares to be held in book-entry
form. If a share certificate representing the Restricted Shares is issued, the certificate will be delivered to, and held in accordance with this Agreement by, the Company or its authorized representatives and will bear the restrictive legends
required by this Agreement. If the Restricted Shares are held in book-entry form, then the book-entry will indicate that the Restricted Shares are subject to the restrictions of this Agreement. 

1.2    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Restricted Shares are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control. 

ARTICLE II. 
 VESTING,
FORFEITURE AND ESCROW 
 2.1    Vesting. The Restricted Shares will become vested Shares (the
“Vested Shares”) according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice except that any fraction of a Share that would otherwise become a Vested Share will be accumulated and will become a Vested Share only when a whole Vested
Share has accumulated. 
 2.2    Forfeiture. In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any
reason, Participant will immediately and automatically forfeit to the Company any Shares that are not Vested Shares (the “Unvested Shares”) at the time of Participant’s Termination of Service, except as otherwise
determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company. Upon forfeiture of Unvested Shares, the Company will become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unvested Shares and all related
interests and Participant will have no further rights with respect to the Unvested Shares. 
 2.3    Escrow. 

(a)    Unvested Shares will be held by the Company or its authorized representatives until (i) they are forfeited,
(ii) they become Vested Shares or (iii) this Agreement is no longer in effect. By accepting this Award, Participant appoints the Company and its authorized representatives as Participant’s attorney(s)-in-fact to take all actions necessary to effect any transfer of forfeited Unvested Shares (and Retained Distributions (as defined below), if any, paid on such forfeited Unvested Shares) to the
Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such representations or other documents or assurances as the Company or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer. The
Company, or its authorized representative, will not be liable for any good faith act or omission with respect to the holding in escrow or transfer of the Restricted Shares. 

 (b)    All cash dividends and other distributions made or declared with
respect to Unvested Shares (“Retained Distributions”) will be held by the Company until the time (if ever) when the Unvested Shares to which such Retained Distributions relate become Vested Shares. The Company will establish
a separate Retained Distribution bookkeeping account (“Retained Distribution Account”) for each Unvested Share with respect to which Retained Distributions have been made or declared in cash and credit the Retained
Distribution Account (without interest) on the date of payment with the amount of such cash made or declared with respect to the Unvested Share. Retained Distributions (including any Retained Distribution Account balance) will immediately and
automatically be forfeited upon forfeiture of the Unvested Share with respect to which the Retained Distributions were paid or declared. 

(c)    As soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which an Unvested Share becomes a Vested Share, the Company
will (i) cause the certificate (or a new certificate without the legend required by this Agreement, if Participant so requests) representing the Share to be delivered to Participant or, if the Share is held in book-entry form, cause the
notations indicating the Share is subject to the restrictions of this Agreement to be removed and (ii) pay to Participant the Retained Distributions relating to the Share. 

2.4    Rights as Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, upon issuance of the
Restricted Shares by the Company, Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive dividends or other distributions paid or made with
respect to the Restricted Shares. 
 ARTICLE III. 

TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING 

3.1    Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s
own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Restricted Shares and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or
any of its agents. 
 3.2    Section 83(b) Election. If Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of
the Code with respect to the Restricted Shares, Participant will deliver a copy of the election to the Company promptly after filing the election with the Internal Revenue Service. 

3.3    Tax Withholding. 

(a)    The Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely
payment in accordance with the Plan of any withholding tax arising in connection with the Restricted Shares as Participant’s election to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding tax by requesting the Company retain Shares otherwise
deliverable under the Award. 
 (b)    Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible
for all taxes owed in connection with the Restricted Shares, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Restricted Shares. Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the Restricted Shares or the subsequent sale of the Restricted Shares. The Company and the
Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure this Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability. 

  
 A-2 

 ARTICLE IV. 

RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS AND TRANSFERABILITY 

4.1    Legends. Any certificate representing a Restricted Share will bear the following legend until the Restricted
Share becomes a Vested Share: 
 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY AND MAY BE
TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SHAREHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. 

4.2    Transferability. The Restricted Shares and any Retained Distributions are subject to the restrictions on
transfer in the Plan and may not be sold, assigned or transferred in any manner unless and until they become Vested Shares. Any attempted transfer or disposition of Unvested Shares or related Retained Distributions prior to the time the Unvested
Shares become Vested Shares will be null and void. The Company will not be required to (a) transfer on its books any Restricted Share that has been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of this Agreement or (b) treat as owner of such
Restricted Share or accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Restricted Share has been so transferred. The Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent,
if any, or make appropriate notations to the same effect in its records. 
 ARTICLE V. 

OTHER PROVISIONS 

5.1    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the Restricted Shares are subject to adjustment, modification and
termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan. 
 5.2    Notices. Any notice to be

(return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a
facsimile transmission confirmation.

not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement. 
 5.4    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 and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform
to Applicable Laws. 
 5.5    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, this Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 

  
 A-3 

 5.6    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 Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Restricted Shares will 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) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the
extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. 

5.7    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. 

5.8    Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held illegal
or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement. 

5.9    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 may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets.
Participant will 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 Award. 

5.10    Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon
Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, 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 the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.
