EXHIBIT A

TO PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT GRANT NOTICE
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Grant Notice to which this Performance Stock Unit Agreement is attached, the Company has granted to Participant the number of PSUs set forth in the Grant Notice.
ARTICLE I.

GENERAL
1.1    Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan or the Grant Notice.
1.2    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The PSUs and the shares of Class A Common Stock (“Stock”) issued to Participant hereunder (“Shares”) are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.
ARTICLE II.
AWARD OF PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS
2.1    Award of PSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)    Effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company has granted to Participant the number of PSUs set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.2 of the Plan. Each PSU represents the right to receive one Share at the times and subject to the conditions set forth herein. However, unless and until the PSUs have vested, Participant will have no right to the payment of any Shares subject thereto. Prior to the actual delivery of any Shares, the PSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.
(b)    This Award was granted by the Company contingent on the stockholders of the Company approving an amendment to the Plan at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”) to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan by a number of shares of Stock at least equal to the number of shares subject to this Award. This Award will terminate immediately and automatically if such stockholder approval is not obtained at the Stockholder Meeting. Further, in no event will any Shares be issued nor any Dividend Equivalents be paid, unless and until the stockholder approval is obtained at the Stockholder Meeting.
(c)    The Company hereby grants to Participant an Award of Dividend Equivalents with respect to each PSU granted pursuant to the Grant Notice for all ordinary cash dividends which are paid to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding Shares between the Grant Date and the date when the applicable PSU is distributed or paid to Participant or is forfeited or expires. The Dividend Equivalents for each PSU shall be equal to the amount of cash which is paid as a dividend on one Share. All such Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to Participant and be deemed to be reinvested in additional PSUs as of the date of payment of any such dividend based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date. Each additional
A-1


PSU which results from such deemed reinvestment of Dividend Equivalents granted hereunder shall be subject to the same vesting, distribution or payment, adjustment and other provisions which apply to the underlying PSU to which such additional PSU relates.
2.2    Vesting of PSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)    Subject to Participant’s continued employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company between the Grant Date and each applicable Vesting Date and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the PSUs shall vest in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice. Each additional PSU which results from deemed reinvestments of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to Section 2.1(b) hereof shall vest whenever the underlying PSU to which such additional PSU relates vests.
(b)    In the event Participant ceases to be employed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all PSUs and Dividend Equivalents granted under this Agreement which have not vested or do not vest on or prior to the date on which such termination of employment occurs, and Participant’s rights in any such PSUs and Dividend Equivalents which are not so vested shall lapse and expire.
(c)    For purposes of this Agreement and the Grant Notice, “Cause” means any of the following: (i) Participant’s theft, dishonesty, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty for personal profit, or falsification of any documents or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) Participant’s material failure to abide by the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s code of conduct or other policies (including, without limitation, policies relating to confidentiality and reasonable workplace conduct); (iii) Participant’s unauthorized use, misappropriation, destruction or diversion of any tangible or intangible asset or corporate opportunity of the Company or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, Participant’s improper use or disclosure of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s confidential or proprietary information); (iv) any intentional act by Participant which has a material detrimental effect on the Company’s reputation or business; (v) Participant’s repeated failure or inability to perform any reasonable assigned duties after written notice from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of, and a reasonable opportunity to cure, such failure or inability; (vi) any material breach by Participant of any employment agreement between Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which breach is not cured pursuant to the terms of such agreement; or (vii) Participant’s conviction (including any plea of guilty or nolo contendere) of any criminal act involving fraud, dishonesty, misappropriation or moral turpitude, or which impairs Participant’s ability to perform his or her duties with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
2.3    Distribution or Payment of PSUs. Participant’s PSUs shall be distributed in Shares (either in book-entry form or otherwise) as soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of the applicable PSU pursuant to Section 2.2, and, in any event, no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs, provided, that such distribution may be either (i) in one lump sum or (ii) in multiple partial distributions in order to facilitate an orderly disposition of Shares via a Sell to Cover to satisfy the withholding obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay a distribution of PSUs if it reasonably determines that such distribution will violate Federal securities laws or any other Applicable Law, provided that such distribution shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that the making of such distribution will not cause such violation, as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii), if applicable to Participant, and provided further that distribution shall be delayed under this Section 2.3 if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code, if applicable to Participant.
2.4    Conditions to Issuance of Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of the Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Shares are then listed, (b) the
A-2


completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable, and (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.
2.5    Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(a)The Company and its Subsidiaries shall deduct or withhold, or require Participant to remit to the Company (the “Service Recipient”) an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”) and required to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising pursuant to this Agreement, as determined by the Company. In satisfaction of such withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items arising from the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSUs and any Dividend Equivalents, the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement and the receipt of any dividends paid on such Shares, by Participant’s acceptance or deemed acceptance of this Award, Participant authorizes the sale of the portion of the Shares to be delivered under the vested PSUs necessary to satisfy the required Tax-Related Items withholding obligations and shall execute any letter of instruction, agreement or power of attorney required by the Company’s designated broker (together with any other party the Company determines necessary to effect such Sell to Cover, the “Agent”) to cause the Agent to irrevocably commit to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Tax-Related Items withholding obligations directly to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. In order to effect the Sell to Cover, if applicable, by Participant’s acceptance or deemed acceptance of this Award, Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(i)Participant hereby appoints the Agent as Participant’s agent and authorizes the Agent to sell on the open market at the then prevailing market price(s), on Participant’s behalf, as soon as practicable (such timing and process for an orderly disposition of Shares to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion) on or after the Shares are issued upon the vesting of the PSUs, that number (rounded up to the next whole number) of the Shares so issued necessary to generate proceeds to cover (x) any Tax-Related Items withholding obligations incurred with respect to the PSUs, Dividend Equivalents or the underlying Shares and (y) all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent with respect thereto.
(ii)Participant hereby authorizes the Company and the Agent to cooperate and communicate with one another to determine the most practicable timing and process for an orderly disposition of the Shares and to determine the number of Shares that must be sold pursuant to subsection (i) above.
(iii)Participant understands that the Agent may effect sales as provided in subsection (i) above in one or more sales and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders will be assigned to Participant’s account. In addition, Participant acknowledges that it may not be possible to sell Shares as provided by subsection (i) above due to (1) a legal or contractual restriction applicable to Participant or the Agent, (2) a market disruption, or (3) rules governing order execution priority on the national exchange where the Shares may be traded. In the event of the Agent’s inability to sell Shares, Participant will continue to be responsible for the timely payment to the Company and/or the Service Recipient of all Tax-Related Items that are required to be withheld, including but not limited to those amounts specified in subsection (i) above and Participant agrees that any such Tax-Related Items withholding obligations may be satisfied by one of the other withholding methods set forth in Section 2.5(a)(vi) below.
A-3


(iv)Participant acknowledges that regardless of any other term or condition of this Section 2.5(a), the Agent will not be liable to Participant for (1) special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, or (2) any failure to perform or for any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond its reasonable control.
(v)Participant hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent any other agreements or documents as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Section 2.5(a). The Agent is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 2.5(a).
(vi)Notwithstanding the Sell to Cover, during an open “window period” as determined in accordance with the Company’s Insider Trading Compliance Policy (or any successor program or policy), the Company, in its sole discretion at a time when it is not in possession of material, non-public information regarding the Company, may change the Tax-Related Items withholding payment method from the Sell to Cover to one or more of the following forms, subject to compliance with Applicable Law: (A) by cash or check from Participant made payable to the Company or the Service Recipient; (B) by the deduction of such amount from other compensation payable to Participant; (C) by the Company withholding a net number of vested Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the PSUs; (D) by Participant tendering to the Company vested Shares; or (E) by any combination of the foregoing, and provided that if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the use of withholding methods (C) and (D) hereof shall be subject to advance approval by the Administrator (as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act).
(vii)This Section 2.5(a) shall terminate not later than the date on which all withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items arising in connection with the vesting of the Award have been satisfied.
(b)    Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Service Recipient, the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. Participant shall, if required by the Administrator, enter into an election with the Company or the Service Recipient (in a form approved by the Company) under which any liability to the Company’s (or the Service Recipient’s) applicable Tax-Related Items required by law is transferred to and met by Participant. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSUs or the underlying Shares, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSU or Dividend Equivalents, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSU to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing Shares to Participant or Participant’s legal representative or enter such Shares in book entry form unless and until Participant or Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all Tax-Related Items applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the PSUs, Dividend Equivalents or the Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement.
(c)    The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or other withholding rates, including minimum or maximum rates applicable in Participant’s jurisdiction(s). If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding vested Shares, for tax purposes, Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested
A-4


PSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
2.6    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 and 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). Except as otherwise provided herein, after such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares, including, without limitation, the right to receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

(b)    In addition, all PSUs (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by Participant upon any receipt of any PSUs or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to forfeiture and/or repayment to the Company to the extent and in the manner required to comply with any Applicable Law or Company policy as provided for in Section 9.5 of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD CONDITIONS
Vesting Requirements
    The number of Shares that are eligible to be earned pursuant to this Agreement, if any, will be determined based on the performance goals set forth in this Exhibit B. As detailed in the table below, the Award is divided into six (6) tranches (each a “Tranche”), with each Tranche representing a portion of the PSUs covering that number of Shares specified next to the applicable Tranche number in the table below, which Shares can be earned during a specified performance period applicable to such Tranche in the table below (each, a “Performance Period”). Each Tranche shall vest upon achievement of the Stock Price Hurdle set forth next to the applicable Tranche in the table below (each, a “Stock Price Hurdle”), during the applicable Performance Period, subject to Participant continuously serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company between the Grant Date and the date of achievement of the applicable Stock Price Hurdle (such date, the “Vesting Date”). Any unvested PSUs shall terminate and are no longer be eligible to be earned as of the last day of the Performance Period attributable to each Tranche (each such date, an “Expiration Date”), unless the applicable Stock Price Hurdle has been achieved on or before such Expiration Date.
    Stock Price Hurdle achievement will be measured on a rolling basis based on the trailing average closing price of the Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (non-volume weighted) for any sixty (60) trading day period that is within the Performance Period up to and including the date of measurement. A Stock Price Hurdle can be achieved at any time during the applicable Performance Period, provided that each Stock Price Hurdle may be achieved only once and, except as provided below, there shall be no linear interpolation between levels of Stock Price Hurdles. The Stock Price Hurdles and the total number of Shares subject to the Award shall be equitably adjusted pursuant to and in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Plan.

Transfer of Vested Shares
For a period of twelve (12) months from the applicable Vesting Date, the Participant may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) any Shares that are issued hereunder upon the vesting of the Shares subject to Tranches 2-6, or attempt any of the foregoing, except with respect to any Transfers of Shares necessary to satisfy Tax-Related Items.
Change of Control
In the event of a Change in Control, any Tranches that have not vested prior to the closing date of the Change in Control shall become vested immediately prior to the closing of such Change in Control based on achievement of any unachieved Stock Price Hurdle using the Per Share Transaction Price (as defined below) without regard to the sixty (60) trading day trailing average closing price requirement, and provided that the Participant has continuously served as the Chief Executive Officer between the Grant Date and the closing date of the Change in Control. The “Per Share Transaction Price” means the per-share amount payable or available for distribution to holders of Stock (whether in cash or in securities or property) in connection with the Change in Control, as reasonably determined by the Board. To the extent the Per Share Transaction Price falls between two levels of Stock Price Hurdles, a pro-rata portion of the Shares subject to the next Tranche (and only such next Tranche) shall accelerate and vest based on linear interpolation between the two Stock Price Hurdle levels. For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the Tranches and Shares that do not become vested according to this paragraph will be forfeited at the closing of the Change in Control.
