Forms of nonstatutory stock option agreement

 Exhibit 10.173 
 LAM RESEARCH CORPORATION (Novellus Systems, Inc.) 
 2011 Stock Incentive
Plan (As Amended) 
 Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement 

Pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (As Amended) (the “Plan”) Lam Research Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants Options to [Insert] (the “Optionee”) on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Plan. Capitalized
terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan. The Options are granted on [Insert] (the “Grant Date”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows: 
 1. Award of
Options. 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 Optionee [Insert] Options
to purchase a total of [Insert] Shares at the exercise price of [Insert] (the “Exercise Price”) for each Share granted under this Option. 
 2. Nature of the Option. This Option is intended by the Company and the Optionee to be a nonstatutory stock option, and does not qualify for any special tax benefits to the Optionee. This Option is
not an Incentive Stock Option. 
 3. Vesting/Exercise of Option. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that the Optionee continues to provide Service (as defined in
Section 6 below) to the Company (or any Related Entity) through the applicable date. This Option shall vest and become exercisable during its term as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	[Insert] of the Shares shall vest and become exercisable on [Insert]; 

 

	 	  	[Insert] of the Shares shall vest and become exercisable on [Insert]; 

 

	 	  	[Insert] of the Shares shall vest and become exercisable on [Insert]; 

 

	 	  	[Insert] of the Shares shall vest and become exercisable on [Insert]; 

 

	 	  	such that all Shares available under the option are vested and exercisable no later than [Insert]. 

 

	 	(ii)	This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 

  

	 	(iii)	In the event of Optionee’s death, disability or other termination of employment or consulting relationship, the vesting and exercisability of the Shares is
governed by Sections 6, 7 and 8 below. 

 (b) This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice or in such other form as
permitted generally by the Company and designated by the Company (the “Exercise Notice”), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised
Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be completed by the Optionee and delivered to the Administrator of the Company. The
Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate
Exercise Price. 
 (c) This Option may not be exercised more than five (5) years from the date of grant, and may be
exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) In the event of a Change of
Control of the Company, the Options are governed by Section 11 of the Plan. 
 4. Method of Payment. Unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 7 or otherwise of the Plan, payment of the exercise price shall be made by cash, cash equivalent, through a cashless exercise program, or pursuant to a net exercise program
(which may be required by the Administrator). 
 5. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised if the
issuance of Shares upon exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation, or the requirement of any stock exchange on which the
Company’s shares may be listed for trading at the time of issuance. The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Company Share
hereby shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance of the Company Share as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain all such approvals.

 6. Termination of Status as an Employee or Consultant and Leave of Absence. 

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, Continuous Service shall mean the performance of services for the Company (or any Related Entity) in
the capacity of an Employee and shall be considered terminated on the last day the Optionee is on payroll (“Service”). If Optionee’s Service to the Company (or any Related Entity) terminates for any reason (whether voluntary or
involuntary, with or without cause), Optionee may, but only within ninety (90) days after the date such Service terminates, exercise this Option to the extent that the Options had vested and Optionee was entitled to exercise the Options at the
date such Service terminated. To the extent that certain Options had not vested or Optionee was not entitled to exercise this Option at the date such Service ceased, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall be cancelled by the Company. 

  
 2 

 (b) As of the 31st (or 91st if reemployment is guaranteed by statute or contract) day of a
leave of absence, vesting of the Options will be suspended and vesting credit will no longer accrue, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or required by contract or statute. If the Optionee returns to Service immediately after the end of
an approved leave of absence, vesting credit shall continue to accrue from that date of continued Service. 
 7. Disability
of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 above, if Optionee’s Service with the Company (or a Related Entity) terminates as a result of a Disability, Optionee may, but only within six (6) months from the date of
termination of Service, exercise the Option to the extent Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination of Service and in no event beyond the Expiration Date. To the extent that the Shares had not vested or Optionee was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination of Service, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall be cancelled by the Company. 

8. Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of Optionee, if, at the time of death, the Optionee was an Employee or Company
Director and had been in continuous status since the Grant Date, the Option may be exercised at any time within six (6) months following the date of death by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by a person to whom the
Option was transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution, but only to the extent the Option had vested and was exercisable as of the date of Optionee’s death and in no event beyond
the Expiration Date. 
 9. Restriction on Transferability. Prior to exercise and delivery of the Shares, neither the
Options, nor the Shares or any beneficial interest therein, may 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, and if provided by the Administrator, intra-family transfer instruments, or to an inter vivos trust, or as otherwise provided by the Administrator. The terms of this
Agreement shall be binding upon the executives, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee. 
 10. Tax
Requirements. Regardless of any action the Company or the Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s
participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the
amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any
aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, exercise/settlement of the Option, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any
dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or
achieve any particular tax result. 

  
 3 

 Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, the Optionee will pay or make
adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company (in the Company’s sole discretion) to satisfy all withholding obligations. In this regard, in those cases where no such prior arrangement has been made (or where the amount of money provided is
insufficient to satisfy the applicable obligations) the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, in their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i) withholding from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option through a sale arranged by the Company (on the
Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option. 
 If the Optionee’s obligation is satisfied as described in (ii) of this Section, the Company will endeavor to only sell only the number of Shares required to satisfy the Optionee’s
obligations for Tax-Related Items; however the Optionee agrees that the Company may sell more Shares than necessary to cover the Tax-Related Item, and that in such event, the Company will reimburse the Optionee for the excess amount withheld, in
cash and without interest. If the Optionee’s obligations are satisfied as described in (iii) of this Section, the Company shall withhold a number of Shares otherwise deliverable at exercise having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy
the statutory minimum (or such higher amount as is acceptable without adverse accounting consequences) of the Optionee’s estimated tax obligations. The Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercise,
notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. 

The Optionee shall pay to the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the
Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Optionee fails to comply with the
Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 
 Further, in consideration of the grant of Options, no
claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises if, in satisfying the Optionee’s (and/or the Employer’s) obligation for Tax-Related Items, the Company and/or the Employer withholds an amount in excess of the amount legally required
to be withheld, the Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this
Agreement, the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim or damages. 

11. No Employment Rights. The award of the Options pursuant to this Agreement shall not give the Optionee any right to continued
service with the Company or a Related Entity and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employee to terminate the Optionee’s Service with the Company at any time with or without cause. 

12. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and 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 

  
 4 

 
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. 
 13. Rights as Shareholder. The Optionee shall not have voting, dividend or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Options. Upon exercise of the Optionee’s Options
into Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), the Optionee will obtain full voting, dividend and other rights as a shareholder of the Company. 

14. Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for
the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator shall be final and binding
upon the Optionee, the Company, and all other interested persons. No Administrator shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. 

15. Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans. The value of the Options granted pursuant to this Agreement shall not be included as
compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating the Optionees’s benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Related Entity, 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 Related Entity’s employee benefit plans. 
 16. Nature of the Grant. In accepting the Options, the Optionee acknowledges that: 
 (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the
Plan and this Agreement; 
 (b) the grant of Options is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other
right to receive future awards of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options even if Options have been awarded repeatedly in the past; 
 (c) all decisions with respect to future grants of Options, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 
 (d) the Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; 
 (e) Options that
do not constitute compensation of any kind for services rendered to the Company or to the Employer, and Options are outside the scope of the Optionee’s employment contract, if any; 

(f) Options are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculation of any
overtime, severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to,
past services for the Company or the Employer; 

  
 5 

 (g) in the event that the Optionee is not an Employee, the grant of Options will not be
interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the grant of Options will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any Related Entity; 

(h) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 

(i) if the Optionee receives Shares upon exercise of the Options, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value; 

(j) in consideration of the grant of Options, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Options
or diminution in value of the Options or Shares received upon vesting of Options resulting from termination of the Optionee’s Service to the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws)
and the Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement,
the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim. 
 17. Data
Privacy Notice and Consent. The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the
Employer, the Company and Related Entities for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. 
 The Optionee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Optionee, including, but not limited to, the Optionee’s name, home address and telephone
number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested,
unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). 
 The Optionee understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the
Optionee’s country, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country. The Optionee understands that the Optionee may request a list with the names and
addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the
purposes of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party

  
 6 

 
with whom the Shares received upon exercise of the Options may be deposited. The Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his
or her participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the
consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. The Optionee understands, however, that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.
For more information on the consequences of his or her refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Optionee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative. 

18. Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing which specifically states that it amends this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended unilaterally 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 Optionee, and
provided that no such amendment adversely affects the rights of the Optionee. Limiting the foregoing, the Committee reserves the right to change, by written notice to the Optionee, the provisions of the Options 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, or, to the extent permissible under the Plan (including, but
not limited to, Sections 10, 11 and 13 of the Plan). 
 19. 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 the Optionee shall be addressed to the Optionee at the address listed in the Employer’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. 
 20. Construction. The Options are being issued pursuant to the Plan and are subject to the terms of the Plan. A copy of the Plan is 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 a provision of the Plan, the Plan provision shall govern and any inconsistent provision in this Agreement shall be of no
force or effect. 
 21. Entire Agreement. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Agreement
constitute the entire agreement of the Company and the Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Optionee with respect to the subject matter
hereof. 
 22. Language. If the Optionee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated
into a language other than English and if the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. 
 23. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Options granted under the Plan and participation in the Plan or future Options that
may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request the 

  
 7 

 
Optionee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in
the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. 
 24. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) The Company has established the Plan voluntarily,
it is discretionary in nature and the Board may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan may in any way adversely affect the Optionee’s rights under
this Agreement, without the Optionee’s written approval unless such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan is necessary in order to comply with any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or
judicial decision or as otherwise permissible under the Plan (including, but not limited to, Sections 10, 11 and 13 of the Plan). 
 (b) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement in a Change of Control shall be governed by the Plan. 
 (c) 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 Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflict of
laws. 
 25. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. By accepting the terms and conditions applicable to the Option, the
Optionee agrees to abide by all of the governing terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. Additionally, the Optionee acknowledges having read and understood the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement and has had an
opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to accepting this Agreement. The Optionee must accept his or her agreement to abide by the terms and conditions of the Plan and Agreement by executing this Agreement electronically or, if
otherwise instructed by the Company, by printing and signing a paper copy of this Agreement and returning it to the appropriate Company representative. In addition, the exercise of this Option shall be considered an additional acknowledgment

 8Forms of restricted stock unit award agreement

 Exhibit 10.174 
 LAM RESEARCH CORPORATION (Novellus Systems, Inc.) 
 2011 Stock Incentive
Plan (As Amended) 
 Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement 

Pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (As Amended) (the “Plan”) Lam Research Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), hereby awards restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) to [Insert] (the “Participant”) on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
(the “Agreement”) and the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan. This Agreement is effective as of [Insert] (the “Grant Date”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed 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 Participant [Insert] Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Shares subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. 
 2. Vesting. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that the Participant continues to provide Service (as defined in Section 3 below) to the Company (or any Related Entity) through
the applicable date: 
 [Insert Shares] of the Restricted Stock Units will vest and become payable in Shares on the
[Insert Date]; 
 [Insert Shares] of the Restricted Stock Units will vest and become payable Shares on the
[Insert Date] (the “Vesting Dates”); 
 (b) In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, the Restricted
Stock Units are governed by Section 11 of the Plan. 
 3. Effect of Termination of Service or Leave of Absence.

 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, Continuous Service shall mean the performance of services for the Company (or any Related
Entity) in the capacity of an Employee and shall be considered terminated on the last day the Participant is on payroll (“Service”). In the event of termination of the Participant’s Service by the Participant or by the Company or a
Related Entity for any reason, including Participant’s death or “disability” (as determined by the Administrator) before all Restricted Stock Units have vested, the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be cancelled by the Company.

 (b) As of the 31st (or 91st if reemployment is guaranteed by statute or contract) day of a leave of absence, vesting of the
Restricted Stock Units will be suspended and vesting credit will no longer accrue, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or 

 
required by contract or statute. If the Participant returns to Service immediately after the end of an approved leave of absence, vesting credit shall continue to accrue from that date of
continued Service. 
 4. Form and Timing of Payment. 

(a) Subject to Section 5 of this Agreement and provided that the Participant has satisfied the vesting
requirements of Section 2 of this Agreement, on each Vesting Date, the Restricted Stock Units shall automatically be converted into unrestricted Shares. Such Shares will be issued to the Participant (as evidenced by the appropriate entry in the
books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) on the Vesting Date (or as soon a practicable), but in any event, within the period ending on the later to occur of the date that is 2  1/2 months after the end of (i) the Participant’s tax year that includes the applicable Vesting Date, or (ii) the Company’s tax year that includes the applicable Vesting Date.

 (b) Shares issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Unit shall be deemed to be issued in consideration of past services
actually rendered by the Participant to the Company or a Related Entity or for its benefit for which the Participant has not previously been compensated or for future services to be rendered, as the case may be, which the Company deems to have a
value at least equal to the aggregate par value of the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit. 
 5. Tax Withholding
Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, or other
tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company
and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of the
Restricted Stock Units, or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the
Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. 
 Prior to the issuance of Shares upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units (or any other tax or withholding event), the Participant shall pay, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company (in the
Company’s sole discretion) to satisfy all withholding obligations. In those cases where a prior arrangement has not been made (or where the amount of money provided under the prior arrangement is insufficient to satisfy the obligations for
Tax-Related Items), the Company shall withhold a number of whole Shares otherwise deliverable at vesting 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 obligations for Tax-Related Items applicable to the Restricted Stock Units; such withholding will result in the issuance to the participant of a lower number of Shares. 

The Company and/or the Employer may also, in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing, at the Company’s sole discretion, as
authorized herein by the Participant, withhold all applicable 

  
 2 

 
Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation or to withhold in one of the following ways, as determined by the Company:
(i) require the Participant to deposit with the Company an amount of cash sufficient to meet his or her obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (ii) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares to be issued on the vesting of Restricted Stock
Units to satisfy the withholding obligation. If the Participant’s obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied as described in (ii) of this section, the Company will endeavor to sell only the number of Shares required to satisfy the
Participant’s obligations for Tax-Related Items; however, the Participant agrees that the Company may sell more Shares than necessary to cover the Tax-Related Items and that in such event, the Company will reimburse the Participant for the
excess amount withheld, in cash and without interest. The Participant shall pay the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participant’s receipt of Restricted Stock Units, the
vesting of Restricted Stock Units that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver Shares to the Participant if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligation in connection with the
Tax-Related Items as described herein. The Participant hereby consents to any action reasonably taken by the Company and/or the Employer to meet his or her obligation for Tax-Related Items. 

Further, in consideration of the grant of Restricted Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises if, in
satisfying the Participant’s (and/or the Employer’s) obligation for Tax-Related Items, the Company and/or the Employer withholds an amount in excess of the amount legally required to be withheld, the Participant irrevocably releases the
Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably
to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim or damages. 
 6. Restriction on Transferability. Prior to
vesting and delivery of the Shares, neither the Restricted Stock Units, nor the Shares or any beneficial interest therein, may 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, and if provided by the Administrator, intra-family transfer instruments, or to an inter vivos
trust, or as otherwise provided by the Administrator. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant. 

7. Requirements of Law. The issuance of Shares upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units is subject to Sections 9 and 14(b) of
the Plan, which generally provides that any such issuance shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange on which
the Shares may be listed for trading at the time of such issuance. The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Shares hereby shall
relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance of the Shares as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain all such approvals. 

  
 3 

 8. Rights as Shareholder. The Participant shall not have voting, dividend or any
other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. Upon settlement of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units into Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company), the Participant will obtain full voting, dividend and other rights as a shareholder of the Company. 
 9. No Compensation Deferrals. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement is intended to provide for an elective deferral of compensation that would be subject to Section 409A (“Section
409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If, notwithstanding the parties’ intent in this regard, at the time of the Participant’s termination of Service, he or she is determined to be a
“specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A, and one or more of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Participant pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units would constitute deferred compensation subject to
Code Section 409A, no such payment or benefit will be provided under the Restricted Stock Units until the earliest of (A) the date which is six (6) months after the Participant’s “separation from service” for any
reason, other than death or “disability” (as such terms are used in Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code), (B) the date of the Participant’s death or “disability” (as such term is used in Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of
the Code), or (C) the effective date of a “change in the ownership or effective control” or a “change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company (as such terms are used in
Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code). The provisions of this Section 9 shall only apply to the extent required to avoid the Participant’s incurrence of any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A or any regulations or
U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) guidance promulgated thereunder. In addition, if any provision of the Restricted Stock Units would cause the Participant to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A or
any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to conform it
to the maximum extent practicable to the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A, including without limitation to limit payment or distribution of any amount of benefit hereunder in
connection with a Change in Control to a transaction meeting the definitions referred to in clause (C) above, or in connection with any disability to a disability as referred to in (B) above; provided however that the Company makes no
representation that this Restricted Stock Unit is not subject to Section 409A nor makes any undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to this Restricted Stock Unit. In addition, to the extent the Company determines it appropriate
to accelerate any vesting conditions applicable to this award, then to the extent necessary to avoid the Participant’s incurring any additional tax or interest as a result of such vesting acceleration under Code Section 409A or any
regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, and notwithstanding Section 4 above, the Company may as a condition to extending such acceleration benefits provide for the Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock
Units to be issued on the earliest date (the “Permitted Distribution Date”) that would obviate application of such additional tax or interest rather than issuing them upon the date on which such vesting is effective as would otherwise be
required under Section 2 (or as soon as practicable after such Permitted Distribution Date and in no event later than that last day of the grace period following such date permitted under Code Section 409A).

 10. Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and
this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by
the Administrator shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company, and all other interested persons. No Administrator shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or this Agreement. 
 11. 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 Participant’s benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Related Entity, 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 Related Entity’s employee benefit plans. 

12. No Employment Rights. The award of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement shall not give the Participant any
right to continue providing Service to the Company or an Affiliate and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s Service with the Company at any time with or without cause. 

13. Nature of the Grant. In accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant acknowledges that: 

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement; 
 (b) the grant of Restricted
Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly
in the past; 
 (c) all decisions with respect to future grants of Restricted Stock Units, if any, will be at the sole
discretion of the Company; 
 (d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; 

(e) Restricted Stock Units are outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any; 

(f) Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
calculation of any overtime, severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; 

(g) in the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company, the grant of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to
form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the grant of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any Related Entity; 

  
 5 

 (h) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with
certainty; 
 (i) if the Participant receives Shares upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the value of such Shares may
increase or decrease in value; 
 (j) in consideration of the grant of Restricted Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to
compensation or damages arises from termination of the Restricted Stock Units or diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares received upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of the Participant’s Service
to the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing,
any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim. 

14. Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing which specifically states that it amends this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended unilaterally 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 Participant, and
provided that no such amendment adversely affects the rights of the Participant. Limiting the foregoing, the Committee reserves the right to change, by written notice to the Participant, 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, or, to the extent permissible under the Plan
(including, but not limited to Sections 10, 11 and 13 of the Plan). 
 15. 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 Administrator. Any notice to be given to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the address listed in the Employer’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. 
 16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and 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. 
 17. Construction. The Restricted Stock Units are being issued pursuant to the Plan and are subject to the terms of the Plan. A copy of the Plan is available upon request during

  
 6 

 
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 a provision of the Plan, the Plan
provision shall govern and any inconsistent provision in this Agreement shall be of no force or effect. 
 18. Electronic
Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan and participation in the Plan or future Restricted Stock Units that may be granted under the Plan by
electronic means or to request the Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan
through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. 
 19. Entire Agreement. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 20. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) The Company has established the Plan voluntarily,
it is discretionary in nature and the Board may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan at any time; 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 unless such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan is necessary in order to comply with any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling,
or judicial decision or otherwise permissible under the Plan (including, but not limited to Sections 10, 11 and 13 of the Plan). 
 (b) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement in a Change of Control shall be governed by the Plan. 
 (c) By signing this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that his or her personal employment or 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 Participant
consents to such transmission of personal data as the Company believes is appropriate to administer the Plan. 
 (d) 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 Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws. 

21. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. By accepting the terms of this Agreement, the Participant agrees to abide by all of the
governing terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. Additionally, the Participant acknowledges having read and understood the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement and has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of

  
 7 

 
counsel prior to accepting this Agreement. The Participant must acknowledge his or her agreement to abide by the terms and conditions of the Plan and Agreement by executing this Agreement
electronically or, if otherwise instructed by the Company, by printing and signing a paper copy of this Agreement and returning it to the appropriate Company representative. In addition, the transfer or sale of the shares obtained at vesting by the
Participant shall be considered an additional acknowledgment of the terms and conditions contained in the Plan and Agreement.
