 EXHIBIT A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTION GRANT 
 1. Grant of Option. The Administrator hereby
grants to the Participant named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of
Grant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 19(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the
terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail. 
 If designated in the Notice
of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code
Section 422(d), this Option will be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). Further, if for any reason this Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or
portion thereof) shall be regarded as a NSO granted under the Plan. In no event shall the Administrator, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or any of their respective employees or directors have any liability to Participant (or any other
person) due to the failure of the Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO. 
 2. Exercise of Option. 
 (a) Right to Exercise. This Option will be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the
Notice of Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. 
 (b) Administrator Discretion
to Accelerate. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Shares subject to the Option at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated,
such Shares subject to the Option will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. 
 (c)
Method of Exercise. This Option will be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit B (the “Exercise Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may
determine, which will state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the
Company. The Exercise Notice will be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares (as such Exercise Price may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of Section 14 of the Plan), together with any applicable
tax withholding. This Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price, together with any applicable tax withholding. 
  

 - 1 - 

 No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise
comply with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares will be considered transferred to the Participant on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares. 
 3. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of
Participant: 
 (a) cash; 
 (b) check; 
 (c) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise
program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or 
 (d) surrender of other Shares which (i) have a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares, and (ii) must be owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, if accepting such Shares, in the sole
discretion of the Administrator, shall not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company. 
 4. Grant is Not
Transferable. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant. The terms of the Plan and this Option
Agreement will be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Participant. 
 5. Term of Option. This
Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement. 
 6. Tax Obligations. 
 (a) Withholding of Taxes. The Company will assess its requirements regarding tax, social insurance and any other payroll tax withholding and reporting in connection with this Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of this
Option or sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option (“tax-related items”). These requirements may change from time to time as laws or interpretations change. 
 In the event the Company determines that it and/or a Parent or Subsidiary must withhold any tax-related items as a result of Participant’s
participation in the Plan, the Participant agrees as a condition of the grant of this Option to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all withholding requirements. The Company and/or a Parent or Subsidiary may, in its
discretion, withhold all applicable tax-related items from any wages or cash compensation due to Participant. The Company (or the employing Parent or Subsidiary) may instead, in its discretion, withhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate
market value sufficient to pay the minimum tax-related items required to be withheld by the Company or the employing Parent or Subsidiary with respect to the Shares. No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the issuance of Shares;
any additional withholding necessary for this reason will be done by the Company through Participant’s paycheck. 
  

 - 2 - 

 In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or, through
Participant’s paycheck, as indicated above), no Shares will be issued to Participant (or his or her estate) unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) have been made by Participant with respect to the
payment of any income and other tax-related items which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to the exercise of the option. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse
to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. All income and other tax-related items related to the Option and any Shares delivered in connection with the exercise of the Option are the sole
responsibility of the Participant. 
 (b) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to
Participant herein is an ISO, and if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one
(1) year after the date of exercise, Participant will immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant agrees that Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income
recognized by Participant. 
 (c) Code Section 409A. Under Code Section 409A, an Option that vests after
December 31, 2004 that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (a “Discount Option”)
may be considered “deferred compensation.” A Discount Option may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the exercise of the Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) tax, and (iii) potential
penalty and interest charges. Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant in
a later examination. Participant agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant, Participant will be solely responsible for
Participant’s costs related to such a determination. 
 7. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to
Participant under this Option Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the
Administrator or, if no such beneficiary has been designated or survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such beneficiary, administrator or executor must furnish the Company with (a) written notice
of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer. 
 8. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Option Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, unenforceable or void, this Option Agreement will continue in full force and effect. 
  

 - 3 - 

 9. Administrator Authority. The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this
Option Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any
Shares have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator
will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Option Agreement. 
 10. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. The Company shall not be required to issue any certificate or certificates for Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all the following conditions: (a) the admission of such
Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any U.S. state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. state or
federal governmental agency, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date of exercise of the Option as the
Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience. 
 11. Address for Notices. Any notice to be
given to the Company under the terms of this Option Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of its Secretary, at 4209 Technology Drive, Fremont, CA 94538 USA, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

 12. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute
the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified
adversely to the Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. This Option Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of California. For purposes of
litigating any dispute that arises under this Option or this Option Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of California, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of
[Alameda County], California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this Option Award is made and/or to be performed. 
 13. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS
EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT
FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO 

  

 - 4 - 

 
NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT
INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

 EXHIBIT A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 
 1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the
Participant named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated in the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 19(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

 2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents
the right to receive a Share on the date it vests (or at such later time indicated in this Agreement). Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4 or Section 14 of the Plan,
Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only
from the general assets of the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with this Agreement will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her properly designated beneficiary or estate) in
whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 6. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in whole Shares as soon as
practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period ending no later than the date that is 2  1/2
months from the end of the Company’s tax year that includes the vesting date. 
 3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided
in Sections 4 and 11 and Section 14 of the Plan, and subject to Section 5, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Restricted Stock Units
scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the
Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs. 
 4. Administrator
Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such
Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, if the Administrator, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some
lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units, the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units shall be made within the period ending no later than the date that is 2  1/
2 months from the end of the Company’s tax year that includes the vesting date. 
 Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the
Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the
Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the 
  

 -3- 

 meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such
accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the 6 month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of
such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date 6 months and 1 day following the date of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, unless the Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service
Provider, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so
that none of the Restricted Stock Units to be provided under this Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance
thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time. 
 5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason will be forfeited and automatically
transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate. 
 6. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such
beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator or, if no such beneficiary has been designated or survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such
transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining
to said transfer. 
 7. Withholding of Taxes. When Shares are issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units, the Company (or the
employing Parent or Subsidiary) will withhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay the minimum federal, state and local income, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company
(or the employing Parent or Subsidiary) with respect to the Shares, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, requires the Participant 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 prior sentence will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with [no refund provided in the U.S. for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a
result of such rounding]OR [with a cash refund remitted to Participant for the value of the Shares sold in excess of the tax withholding obligations], all pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may specify from time to time. 
 Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be issued unless and until all income, employment and other taxes which the
Company determines must be 
  

 -4- 

 withheld or collected with respect to such Shares have been withheld. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by
law, the Company (or the employing Parent or Subsidiary) has the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, 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 Restricted Stock Units and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Participant.

 8. 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, 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). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will 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 Guarantee of Continued Service.
PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR
RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER
AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S
RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. 
 10. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company at 3PAR, Inc.,
4209 Technology Drive, Fremont, CA 94538, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. 
 11. Changes in
Restricted Stock Units. In the event that as a result of a stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization, combination of Shares or the adjustment in capital stock of the Company or otherwise,
or as a result of a merger, consolidation, spin-off or other corporate transaction or event, the Restricted Stock Units will be increased, reduced or otherwise affected, and by virtue of any such event the Participant will in his or her capacity as
owner of unvested Restricted Stock Units which have been awarded to him or her (the “Prior Restricted Stock Units”) be entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock, cash or other securities or property (other than rights or
warrants to purchase securities); such new or additional or different shares, cash or securities or property will 
  

 -5- 

 thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock Units and will be subject to all of the conditions and
restrictions that were applicable to the Prior Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. If the Participant receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Restricted Stock Units, such rights or warrants may be held or
exercised by the Participant, 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 will be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock
Units and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. The Administrator in its absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the
vesting of all or any portion of such new or additional shares of stock, cash or securities, rights or warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants; provided, however, that the
payment of such new or additional awards shall be made at the same time or times as if such awards had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement (whether or not the Participant remains employed by
the Company or by one of its Affiliates as of such date(s)). 
 12. Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided
in Section 6, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment
or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant

 EXHIBIT A 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT 
 1. Grant of Restricted Stock. The Company
hereby grants to the Participant named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) under the Plan for past services and as a separate incentive in connection with his or her services and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for
his or her services, an Award of Shares of Restricted Stock, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 19(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict
between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail. 
 2. Escrow of Shares. 
 (a) All Shares of Restricted Stock will, upon execution of this Agreement, be
delivered and deposited with an escrow holder designated by the Company (the “Escrow Holder”). The Shares of Restricted Stock will be held by the Escrow Holder until such time as the Shares of Restricted Stock vest or the date Participant
ceases to be a Service Provider. The certificate or certificates representing such Shares shall not be delivered by the Escrow Holder to the Participant unless and until the Shares have vested and all other terms and conditions in this Agreement
have been satisfied. 
 (b) The Escrow Holder will not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding
the Shares of Restricted Stock in escrow while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment. 
 (c) Upon
Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any reason, the Escrow Holder, upon receipt of written notice of such termination, will take all steps necessary to accomplish the transfer of the unvested Shares of Restricted Stock to the
Company. Participant hereby appoints the Escrow Holder with full power of substitution, as Participant’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with irrevocable power and authority in the name and on behalf of Participant 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 of Restricted Stock to the Company upon such termination.

 (d) The Escrow Holder will take all steps necessary to accomplish the transfer of Shares of Restricted Stock to Participant
after they vest following Participant’s request that the Escrow Holder do so. 
 (e) Subject to the terms hereof,
Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares while they are held in escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote the Shares and to receive any cash dividends declared thereon. 
 (f) In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the

  

 -3- 

 
Company affecting the Shares, the Shares of Restricted Stock will be increased, reduced or otherwise changed, and by virtue of any such change Participant
will in his or her capacity as owner of unvested Shares of Restricted Stock be entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock, cash or securities (other than rights or warrants to purchase securities); such new or additional or different
shares, cash or securities will thereupon be considered to be unvested Shares of Restricted Stock and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the unvested Shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to this
Agreement. If Participant receives rights or warrants with respect to any unvested Shares of Restricted Stock, such rights or warrants may be held or exercised by Participant, 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 will be considered to be unvested Shares of Restricted Stock and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the
unvested Shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrator in its absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of such new or additional shares of stock, cash or securities, rights or
warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants. 
 (g) The
Company may instruct the transfer agent for its Common Stock to place a legend on the certificates representing the Restricted Stock or otherwise note its records as to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement. 
 3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded by this Agreement
will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Shares of Restricted Stock scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of
the provisions of this Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs. 
 4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock at any time, subject to the
terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. 
 5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested at the time of Participant’s
termination as a Service Provider for any reason will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company upon the date of such termination and Participant will have no further rights thereunder.
Participant will not be entitled to a refund of the price paid for the Shares of Restricted Stock, if any, returned to the Company pursuant to this Section 5. Participant hereby appoints the Escrow Holder with full power of substitution, as
Participant’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with irrevocable power and authority in the name and on behalf of Participant 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. 
  

 -4- 

 6. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this
Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the
Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer. 

7. Withholding of Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares of Restricted Stock
may be released from the escrow established pursuant to Section 5, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of income, employment and other
taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares. To the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its discretion, it shall have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any tax withholding obligations by
reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant. If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations hereunder at the time any applicable Shares otherwise are
scheduled to vest pursuant to Sections 3 or 4, Participant will permanently forfeit such Shares and the Shares will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company. 
 8. 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 will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant or the Escrow Holder. Except as provided in
Section 2(f), after such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will 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 Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE SHARES OF RESTRICTED STOCK PURSUANT TO THE
VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS RESTRICTED STOCK OR
ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS
A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE
PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

(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
Administrator will, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Administrator will, in its absolute discretion, determine
to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date of grant of the Restricted Stock as the Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience.

expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written

Employees who shall be Participants for any Performance Period. Participation in the Plan is in the sole discretion of the Committee, and shall be determined on a Performance Period by Performance Period basis. Accordingly, an Employee who is a

he or she may be entitled. 
 4.2 Timing of Payment. Payment of each Actual Award shall be made as soon as administratively
practicable as determined by the Committee after the end of the Performance Period during which the Actual Award was earned, but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the applicable Performance Period. Notwithstanding
