Form of Restricted Stock Unit Director Grant Agreement

 Exhibit 10.33 
 EXPONENT, INC. 
 2008 Equity Incentive Plan 
 Restricted Stock Unit Director Grant Agreement 
 This Restricted Stock Unit Director Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between Exponent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
             (the “Director”). 
 Pursuant to the terms of the
2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) the Company hereby awards to Director restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The grant date for this
award is                  , 200     (the “Grant Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall
have the meaning specified in the Plan. 
 In consideration of the mutual promises set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 1. Award of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan (the terms of which are
incorporated herein by reference) and effective as of the Grant Date, the Company hereby grants to the Director              Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units relate
on a one-for-one basis to shares of the Company’s Common Stock (each such share, adjusted in accordance with Section 14 of the Plan, a “Share”). 
 2. Vesting. Restricted Stock Units vest (meaning that the Director’s right to the Restricted Stock Units become nonforfeitable and no longer subject to any service requirement) in three equal installments
on the day prior to each of the Company’s three annual stockholder meetings next following the Grant Date (each such date, a “Vesting Date”), provided that with respect to each Vesting Date the Director remains in continuous service
on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date. The period between the Grant Date and the earlier of (a) the third Vesting Date referred to in the preceding sentence (b) the
Termination Date (defined in Section 3 below), and (c) the date of any accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 5 below (such date, the “Change in Control Date”) is referred to as the “Restricted Period.”

 3. Effect of Termination of Service; Forfeiture. If the Director’s service as a member of the Board terminates for any reason
or under any circumstances (including death or disability), the Director will vest in a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units through the date of such service termination that qualifies as a “separation from service” with respect
to Board service under Code Section 409A (the “Termination Date”) so that he or she will be treated as vested in that number of Restricted Stock Units that vested on each Vesting Date occurring prior to the Termination Date plus that
additional number of Restricted Stock Units as he or she would have been vested in as of the Termination Date if the award had been subject to daily vesting for the 365-day period beginning on the last preceding Vesting Date and ending on the
Termination 

 
Date and the remainder of the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited. Upon forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, the portion of the award so forfeited
shall terminate and the Company shall have no obligation to issue any Shares in settlement of that portion of the award. 
 4.
Distribution. Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement (including Sections 8 and 17) and the Plan, and subject to any deferral election made pursuant to Section 6 below, a number of Shares of Common Stock will be issued
(“distributed”) to the Director in settlement of this Restricted Stock Unit equal to the number of then-vested Restricted Stock Units on (or as soon as practicable after, but in no later event later than the date that is forty-five
(45) days after) the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the Grant Date, (b) the Termination Date, or (c) the Change in Control Date (the earlier of such dates, and without regard to any deferral of such date pursuant to
Section 6, the “Distribution Date”). Subject to any deferral election made pursuant to Section 6 below, upon or as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, stock certificates (including electronic representations of
the same, the “Certificate”) evidencing the Shares issued upon settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be issued and registered in the Director’s name and delivered to (or appropriate notice in the case of electronic
Certificate delivered to) the Director (or in the case of the Director’s death, to the Director’s beneficiary or estate). 
 5.
Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan and as modified by Section 17 below), all awards shall be vested and the shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units will be distributed as set forth in
section 4 above. 
 6. Deferral Election. Subject to any conditions deemed appropriate from time to time by the Committee (including
suspension of the right to elect deferrals or to make changes to any existing deferral election), the Director may elect to defer the Distribution Date set forth in Section 4 above using the form attached as Exhibit A (or any
successor form approved by the Administrator). 
 7. Dividends. Participants holding Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to
receive credit for cash dividends, stock dividends and other distributions paid during the Restricted Period (or, with respect to an award as to which a further deferral election has been made under Section 6 above, also during the period
following the Restricted Period prior to the date the Shares are to be distributed under the terms of such deferral election) with respect to the corresponding number of Shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units , provided
that the fair market value of any such dividends or distributions shall be converted into an additional number of Restricted Stock Units (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of such payment or distribution), which
additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions and restrictions on transferability as apply to, and shall be settled at the same time as, and subject to the same deferral elections as, the Restricted Stock
Units with respect to which they relate. Credit under this paragraph for any dividends paid during the Restricted Period (including any additional deferral period) shall be done as soon as practicable following the payment date for such dividend.

 8. Tax Withholding Obligations. In such rare circumstances in which withholding is applicable, to meet any such obligations of the
Company and Director that might arise with respect to any withholding taxes, FICA contributions, or the like under any federal, state, or local 

  

 2 

 
statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation in or connection with the award grant, vesting, deferral, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Committee
can, in the limited circumstances where appropriate, require that the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy the statutory minimum (or such higher amount as is
allowable without adverse accounting consequences) of the Participant’s estimated total federal, state, and local tax obligations associated with vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. In such rare circumstances, the Company may
also, in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing, at its sole discretion, either require the Director to deposit with the Company an amount of cash sufficient to meet the withholding requirements and/or withhold the required amounts from the
Director’s pay during the pay periods next following the date on which any such applicable tax liability otherwise arises. The Company shall not deliver any of the Certificates until and unless the Director has made the deposit required herein
or proper provision for required withholding has been made. The Director hereby consents to any action reasonably taken by the Company to meet the withholding obligations. 
 9. Restriction on Transferability. Until the Distribution Date, the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise alienated at any time. Any attempt to do so contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void. 
 10. Rights as
Shareholder. Subject to Section 6 above with respect to dividend rights, the Director shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units prior to the Distribution Date. Upon
the Distribution Date, the Director will obtain full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company. 
 11. Administration.
The Committee 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 or revoke any such rules. All
actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Director, the Company, and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action,
determination, or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. 
 12. Effect on Other Employee Benefit
Plans. The value of the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating the Director’s benefits under any director or other
benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Subsidiary except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s employee benefit
plans. 
 13. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by the Company and the Director which specifically
states that it is amending this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Committee by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is
delivered to the Director, and provided that no such amendment adversely affects the rights of the Director (but limiting the foregoing, the Committee reserves the right to change, by written notice to the Director, the provisions of the Restricted
Stock Units or this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of 

  

 3 

 
any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable
only to Restricted Stock Units which are then subject to restrictions as provided herein). Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 13 or in the Plan, any amendment to this Agreement shall be subject to the requirements of
Section 17 below. 
 14. Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to
the Company in care of its stock administrator. Any notice to be given to Director shall be addressed to Director at the address listed in the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different
address for notices. Any notice shall have been deemed given when actually delivered. 
 15. Severability. If all or any part of this
Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of
this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining
lawful and valid. 
 16. Construction. The Restricted Stock Units are being issued pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan and are
subject to the terms of the Plan. A copy of the Plan has been given to the Director, and additional copies of the Plan are available upon request during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Company. To the extent that any
provision of this Agreement violates or is inconsistent with an express provision of the Plan, the Plan provision shall govern and any inconsistent provision in this Agreement shall be of no force or effect. 
 17. Code Section 409A Matters. This Restricted Stock Unit award is a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement subject to Code
Section 409A. The Company has attempted in good faith to structure this Restricted Stock Unit award (including any deferral elections made in connection with such award) in a manner that conforms to the requirements of Code
Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so conform with these requirements to the maximum extent permissible. To the extent the IRS challenges whether this award in fact conforms with Code
Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4), the Director shall be fully responsible for any additional taxes, penalties and/or interest that might apply as a result of any adverse determination resulting from such challenge. To the extent this award
contemplates multiple Distribution Dates (including as a result of a deferral election), each amount to be paid (Shares to be distributed) hereunder on any particular Distribution Date is designated as a separate payment and such payments will not
collectively be treated as a single payment. Any subsequent deferral election shall comply with the subsequent deferral election rules of Section 409A(a)(4)(C) (which, as relevant to this award, are set forth on the election form attached
hereto as Exhibit A). Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Plan, the Company may accelerate distribution of Shares under this Agreement only in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4). 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or this Agreement, any acceleration of the Distribution Date that occurs pursuant to
Section 5 above and/or Section 14(c) of the Plan shall only occur on a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) that qualifies as a 

  

 4 

 
“change in ownership or effective control,” or a “change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets,” of the Company, all as
defined under Code Section 409A. In addition, for all purposes under this Agreement and to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, the Director shall have a “separation from service” as defined under Code Section 409A
upon the Termination Date. 
 In addition, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement including Section 4 above to the
contrary, if at the time of the Director’s Termination Date he or she is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), and if and only if the deferral of payment (distribution of Shares) as a result of the
Director’s termination of service is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated income recognition or additional tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1), then the Distribution Date shall be delayed until the earlier of (1) that date that
is six months following the date on which occurs the Director’s separation from service or (2) the date of the Director’s death following his or her separation from service. 
 18. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) The Board may
terminate, amend, or modify the Plan; provided, however, that no such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan may in any way adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, without the Participant’s written
approval. 
 (b) This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental
agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. The Company shall have no liability for failure to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement unless it is able to do so in compliance with all Applicable Laws. 
 (c) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement, with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, shall be binding on any successor to
the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. 
 (d) By signing this Agreement, the Director acknowledges that his or her personal employment or other service information regarding participation in the
Plan and information necessary to determine and pay, if applicable, benefits under the Plan must be shared with other entities, including companies related to the Company and persons responsible for certain acts in the administration of the Plan. By
signing this Agreement, the Director consents to such transmission of personal data, as the Company believes is appropriate to administer the Plan. 
 (e) To the extent not preempted by federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.

 Exhibit 10.34 
 EXPONENT, INC. 
 Restricted Stock Award Plan 
 Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Unit Bonus Grant Agreement 
 This Restricted Stock Unit Bonus Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is dated as of                  ,
200     and is entered into between Exponent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and              (the “Employee”).

 Pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”) the Company hereby awards to Employee restricted stock
units (“Restricted Stock Units”) on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan. 
 In consideration of the mutual promises set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Award of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan (the terms of which are incorporated herein
by reference) and effective as of the date set forth above, the Company hereby grants to the Employee             
(            ) restricted stock units. 
 2. Vesting. The
restricted stock units, which are payable as part of an earned bonus under the Company’s Equity Compensation Program, are fully vested regardless of future service. 
 3. Distribution. Stock certificates (the “Certificate”) evidencing the conversion of restricted stock units into shares of Common Stock shall be issued and registered in the Employee’s name as of
the later of the fourth anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Subject to Section 6 of this Agreement, Certificates will be delivered to the Employee as soon as practicable after the end of the restricted period. 
 4. Effect of Termination of Service. If the Employee’s service is terminated by the Employee or by the Company or a Subsidiary for any
reason, including Disability but not including death, before the end of the restricted period, Certificates will be distributed to the Employee as soon as practicable after the end of the restricted period. In the event of death, Certificates will
be delivered as soon as practicable to Employee’s beneficiary or estate. 
 5. Dividends. Participants holding restricted stock
units shall be entitled to receive cash payments equal to any cash dividends and other distributions paid with respect to a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock, provided that if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of
Common Stock, the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock shall be converted into restricted stock units, and further provided that such restricted stock units shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions and restrictions on
transferability as apply to the restricted stock units with respect to which they relate. 

 6. Tax Withholding Obligations. To meet the obligations of the Company and Employee with respect
to any withholding taxes, FICA contributions, or the like under any federal, state, or local statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation in or connection with the award, deferral, or settlement of the restricted stock units, the Committee shall require
that the Company withhold a number of shares of Company Stock otherwise deliverable having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy the statutory minimum (or such higher amount as is allowable without adverse accounting consequences) of the
Participant’s estimated total federal, state, and local tax obligations associated with vesting or settlement of the restricted stock units. The Company may also in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing, at its sole discretion, either require
the Employee to deposit with the Company an amount of cash sufficient to meet the withholding requirements and/or, withhold the required amounts from the Employee’s pay during the pay periods next following the date on which any such applicable
tax liability otherwise arises. The Company shall not deliver any Certificates until and unless the Employee has made the deposit required herein or proper provision for required withholding has been made. Employee hereby consents to any action
reasonably taken by the Company to meet the withholding obligations. 
 7. Restriction on Transferability. Until distribution, the
restricted stock units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated at any time. Any attempt to do so contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the above, distribution can be made pursuant
to will, the laws of descent and distribution, intra-family transfer instruments or to an inter vivos trust. 
 8. Rights as
Shareholder. The Employee shall not have voting or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the restricted stock units. Upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units into shares of Company Stock, the Employee will obtain
full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company. 
 9. Administration. The Committee 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 or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and
determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Employee, the Company, and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation made in good
faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. 
 10. Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans. The value of the restricted stock
units granted pursuant to this Agreement shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating the Employee’s benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Subsidiary
except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s employee benefit plans. 
 11. No Employment Rights. The award of the restricted stock units pursuant to this Agreement shall not give the Employee any right to remain
employed by the Company or a 

  

 2 

 
Subsidiary. Also, the award is completely within the discretion of the Company. It is not made as a part of any ongoing element of compensation or something
which Employee should expect to receive annually or on any other periodic basis. It does not constitute part of Employee’s salary or wages and unless specifically agreed to otherwise with the Company is not relevant for purposes of determining
any post-employment payment or severance. 
 12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by the Company
and the Employee which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Committee by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as
a copy of such amendment is delivered to the Employee, and provided that no such amendment adversely affects the rights of the Employee (but limiting the foregoing, the Committee reserves the right to change, by written notice to the Employee, the
provisions of the restricted stock units or this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or
judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to restricted stock units which are then subject to restrictions as provided herein). 
 13. Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of its stock administrator. Any notice to be given to Employee shall be addressed
to Employee at the address listed in the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices. Any notice shall have been deemed given when actually delivered. 
 14. Severability. If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid,
such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if
possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. 
 15. Construction. The restricted stock units are being issued pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan and are subject to the terms of the Plan. A
copy of the Plan has been given to the Employee, and additional copies of the Plan are available upon request during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Company. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement violates
or is inconsistent with an express provision of the Plan, the Plan provision shall govern and any inconsistent provision in this Agreement shall be of no force or effect. 
 16. Miscellaneous.

no such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan may in any way adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, without the Participant’s written approval.

securities exchanges as may be required. 
  

 3 

 (c) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement, with respect to the restricted
stock units, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
the Company. 
 (d) By signing this Agreement, the Employee acknowledges that his or her personal employment information regarding
participation in the Plan and information necessary to determine and pay, if applicable, benefits under the Plan must be shared with other entities, including companies related to the Company and persons responsible for certain acts in the
administration of the Plan. By signing this Agreement employee consents to such transmission of personal data as the Company believes is appropriate to administer the Plan. 
 (e) To the extent not preempted by federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
California. 
 (f) “Disability” means the total and permanent disability of the Employee where, by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, the Participant is either (i) unable to engage in any substantial
gainful activity; or (ii) receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident or health plan covering employees of the Company, in each case in accordance with Code Section 409A and
applicable guidance issued thereunder. 
 (g) The only circumstance in which a transaction specified in Section 17 below will result in
acceleration of distribution of Shares shall be in connection with a transaction or series of transactions in which the Company experiences a “change in ownership,” a “change in effective control,” or a “change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of assets,” in each case as defined under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder. 
 17. Change In Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the successor to the Company shall assume, or substitute equivalent awards for, this award on the same terms and conditions (including vesting conditions). The medium of
settlement, whether shares, cash or some combination thereof, shall be determined at the discretion of the Administrator with the consent of the successor at the time of the Change in Control. If the award holder is involuntarily terminated for any
reason other than award holder’s failure to substantially perform the duties of award holder’s position, after written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure, within a two-year period beginning on the date of the Change in Control,
all awards shall be vested and settled on the date of termination. For this purpose, involuntary termination shall include the occurrence of one or more of the following events (which occurs involuntarily to the award holder) provided that the award
holder provides notice of such event within 30 days of its first occurrence and terminates employment within 12 months of the first occurrence of the event: (1) A material diminution in the award holder’s base compensation. (2) A
material diminution in the award holder’s authority, duties, or responsibilities. (3) A material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom the award holder is required to report. (4) A material
diminution in the budget over which the award holder retains authority. (5) A material change in the geographic location at which the award holder must perform the services.

 18. General Code Section 409A Matters. This award may be a “nonqualified deferred
compensation arrangement” subject to Code Section 409A. To the extent that it is, the parties intend that it conform to the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted
to so conform with these requirements to the maximum extent permissible. To the extent the IRS challenges whether this award in fact conforms with Code Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4), the Employee shall be fully responsible for any
additional taxes, penalties and/or interest that might apply as a result of any adverse determination resulting from such challenge. Any subsequent deferral election, if permitted in the Company’s sole discretion, shall comply with the
subsequent deferral election rules of Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C). In addition, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Plan, (a) the Company may accelerate distribution of Shares under this Agreement only
in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4), and (b) no amendment may be made to this award except as permitted under this paragraph. 
 In
addition, if at the time of the Employee’s Termination Date he or she is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), and if and only if the deferral of payment or distribution of Shares as a result of the
Employee’s termination of services is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated income recognition or additional tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1), then the Distribution Date shall be delayed until the earlier of (1) that date
that is six months following the date on which occurs the Employee’s separation from service or (2) the date of the Employee’s death following his or her separation from service.
