 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. 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 17 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. 
 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 

  

 -1- 

 
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 

  

 -2- 

 
issued pursuant to the issuance of Shares; any additional withholding necessary for this reason will be done by the Company through Participant’s
paycheck. 
 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 1550 Buckeye Drive, Milpitas, CA 95035 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 Santa Clara 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 

  

 -4- 

 
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.

 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 3,4 or Section 17 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 Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in
each such case no later than the date that is two-and-one-half 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 17 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. 
 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 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 six (6) month period following 

  

 -3- 

 
Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six
(6) months and one (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 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, 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 for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a result of such
rounding, 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 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 

  

 -4- 

 
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, in care of its Secretary, at 1550 Buckeye Drive, Milpitas, CA 95035 USA, 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 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 

  

 -5- 

 
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
