1.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Restricted Shares are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are

	2.	Grant of Restricted Shares. 

 2.1 Grant of Restricted Shares. In consideration of Participant’s employment with or service to the Company or a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the
Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company grants to Participant the Restricted Shares, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustments as provided in
Article 13 of the Plan. 
 2.2 Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Restricted Shares by
the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any
Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict 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. 
  

	3.	Vesting of Restricted Shares. 

 3.1 In General. 
 (a) Subject to Section 3.1(c) hereof,
the Restricted Shares shall vest at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 3.1(c) hereof, none of the Restricted Shares that has not become vested at the date of Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in
a written agreement between the Company and Participant. 

 (c) Notwithstanding Sections 3.1(b) hereof, pursuant to Article 13 of Plan,
the Restricted Shares shall become fully vested and exercisable in the event of a Change in Control, in connection with which (i) the successor corporation does not assume the Restricted Shares or substitute an equivalent right for the
Restricted Shares or (ii) Participant suffers a Qualifying Termination. Should the successor corporation assume the Restricted Shares or substitute an equivalent right, and should Participant not suffer a Qualifying Termination, then no
acceleration shall apply under this paragraph. 
 3.2 Restrictions. Unless and until the Restricted Shares vest,
Participant shall have no right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber Restricted Shares in any manner. Any purported attempt to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any Restricted Shares under this Agreement shall
be void and shall result in the forfeiture and cancellation of such Restricted Shares. Upon Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, any Restricted Shares that are unvested as of the date of such Termination of Service (and whose
vesting is not accelerated pursuant to Sections 3.1(c) or 4.2 hereof) shall be forfeited, and Participant shall have no further rights with respect to such Restricted Shares under this Agreement or otherwise. 

3.3 Delivery of Shares. The Restricted Shares shall be registered in book entry in the name of Participant and shall not be
transferred to Participant until the Restricted Shares have vested in accordance with this Agreement. Participant acknowledges that prior to the vesting of the Restricted Shares, the certificates representing Restricted Shares may be stamped with a
legend indicating the possibility of cancellation and the restrictions on transfer. Upon vesting of any of the Restricted Shares, such Restricted Shares shall be transferred or delivered to Participant as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon such
transfer or delivery to Participant, the vested Restricted Shares will not be subject to any restrictions other than those that may arise under the securities laws or the Company’s policies. 

3.4 Tax Withholding. The vesting of the Restricted Shares under this Agreement will result in Participant’s recognition of
income for U.S. and federal tax purposes (and/or foreign tax purposes, if applicable) and shall be subject to tax and tax withholdings as appropriate. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or
require Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including Participant’s FICA or employment tax obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of the
Restricted Shares. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, withhold, or allow Participant to elect to have the Company withhold, Shares otherwise issuable upon the vesting of any of the
Restricted Shares (or allow the surrender of Shares). The number of Shares so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Shares that have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase no greater than the aggregate
amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to supplemental taxable income. 

  
 2 

 3.5 Section 83(b) Election. If Participant makes an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Shares as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Shares rather than as of the date or dates upon which Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83 of the
Code, Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service. 
 3.6 Rights as Stockholder. Upon issuance of the Restricted Shares and until the forfeiture or cancellation of the Restricted Shares, Participant shall have, unless otherwise provided by the
Administrator, all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, subject to the transferability and other restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or
made with respect to the Shares; provided, however, that, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, the Administrator may provide that any extraordinary distributions with respect to the Common Stock received by Participant in the
form of Shares shall be subject to the same vesting and other restrictions as the Restricted Shares to which they relate. 
  

	4.	Other Provisions. 

4.1 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

interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Restricted Shares. 
 4.2 Adjustments Upon
Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the Restricted Shares in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Common Stock
contemplated by Section 13.2 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Shares), the Administrator shall make such adjustments as the Administrator deems appropriate to the Restricted Shares in order to
preserve the benefits intended to be made available to Participant under this Agreement. Participant acknowledges that the Restricted Shares are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and
Article 13 of the Plan.

addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company (or any other person or entity as designated by the Administrator) 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 4.3, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. A 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.

4.8 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and

executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 
 4.9 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 the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 4.10 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior
