EXHIBIT A
TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT NOTICE
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached, the Company has granted to Participant the number of RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice.
ARTICLE I.
GENERAL
Section 1.1    Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan or the Grant Notice. For purposes of this Agreement,
(a)     “Cessation Date” shall mean the date of Participant’s Termination of Service (regardless of the reason for such termination).
(b)    “Participating Company” shall mean the Company or any of its parents or Subsidiaries.
Section 1.2    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs and the shares of Common Stock issued to Participant hereunder (“Shares”) are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan (including, without limitation, Section 10.6 thereof), 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 RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
Section 2.1    Award of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)    In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to a Participating Company and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the Grant Date”), the Company has granted to Participant the number of RSUs 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 Article VIII of the Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share at the times and subject to the conditions set forth herein. However, unless and until the RSUs have vested, Participant will have no right to the payment of any Shares subject thereto. Prior to the actual delivery of any Shares, the RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.
(b)    The Company hereby grants to Participant an Award of Dividend Equivalents with respect to each RSU granted pursuant to the Grant Notice for all ordinary cash dividends that are paid to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding Shares between the Grant Date and the date when the applicable RSU is distributed or paid to Participant or is forfeited or expires. The Dividend Equivalents for each RSU shall be equal to the amount of cash that 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 RSUs as of the date of payment of any such dividend based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date. Each additional RSU that results from such deemed reinvestment of Dividend Equivalents granted hereunder shall be subject to the same vesting, distribution or payment, adjustment and other provisions that apply to the underlying RSU to which such additional RSU relates.



Section 2.2    Vesting of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)    Subject to Participant’s continued employment with or service to a Participating Company on each applicable vesting date and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Sections 2.2(b) – (e) below), the RSUs shall vest in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice. Each additional RSU that results from deemed reinvestments of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall vest whenever the underlying RSU to which such additional RSU relates vests.
(b)    In the event Participant incurs a Termination of Service for any reason other than due to Participant’s death or Disability, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between Participant and the Company, Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all RSUs and Dividend Equivalents granted under this Agreement that have not vested or do not vest on or prior to the Cessation Date, and Participant’s rights in any such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents that are not so vested shall lapse and expire; provided that, in the event of a Termination of Service described in this Section 2.2(b) other than a Termination of Service for Cause, the Company may make a determination that it is in the Company’s best interest that Participant not forfeit Participant’s unvested Awards on the Cessation Date and that selected unvested Awards shall not be forfeited merely because of such a Termination of Service before the relevant scheduled vesting date or dates, but shall continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice so long as (i) Participant executes and does not revoke a release of claims in a form that is acceptable to the Company and (ii) continues to comply with any restrictive covenants to which Participant is subject. If Participant does not sign such release or revokes such release before it becomes irrevocable, or violates any applicable restrictive covenants prior to any scheduled vesting date set forth in the Grant Notice, any outstanding RSUs and Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited and cancelled.
(c)    In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service due to Participant’s death, any unvested RSUs will become fully vested.
(d)    In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service due to Participant’s Disability, any unvested RSUs will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, the Award will be treated in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Plan.
Section 2.3    Distribution or Payment of RSUs.
(a)    Participant’s RSUs shall be distributed in Shares (either in book-entry form or otherwise) within thirty (30) days of the applicable vesting date of any RSUs pursuant to the Grant Notice and Section 2.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay a distribution in settlement of RSUs if it reasonably determines that such payment or distribution will violate federal securities laws or any other Applicable Law, provided that such distribution or payment shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that the making of such distribution or payment will not cause such violation, as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii), and provided further that no payment or distribution shall be delayed under this Section 2.3(a) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the exact payment date of this Award shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion (and Participant shall not have a right to designate the time of payment).
(b)    All distributions shall be made by the Company in the form of whole Shares.



Section 2.4    Conditions to Issuance of Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares or to cause any Shares to be held in book-entry form 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 completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable, (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, and (d) the receipt of full payment of any applicable withholding tax in accordance with Section 2.5 by the Participating Company with respect to which the applicable withholding obligation arises.
Section 2.5    Tax Withholding.
(a)    As set forth in Section 9.5 of the Plan, the Participating Companies shall have the authority to deduct or withhold, or require Participant to remit to the applicable Participating Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the employee portion of any FICA obligation) required by Applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising pursuant to this Agreement. Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, the Company shall withhold, or cause to be withheld, Shares otherwise vesting or issuable pursuant to the RSUs in satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding obligations based on Participant’s Applicable Withholding Rate, subject to Section 9.5 of the Plan. Participant’s “Applicable Withholding Rate” shall mean the greater of (i) the minimum applicable statutory tax withholding rate or (ii) a greater withholding rate designated by the Participant, but in no event greater than the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of such withholding (or such other rate as may be required to avoid the liability classification of the RSUs under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America); provided, however, that the number of Shares tendered or withheld, if applicable, shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Share sufficient to cover the applicable tax withholding obligation, to the extent rounding up to the nearest whole Share does not result in the liability classification of the RSUs under generally accepted accounting principles.
(b)    The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate representing Shares issuable with respect to the RSUs to Participant or his or her legal representative unless and until Participant or his or her legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes applicable with respect to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the vesting or settlement of the RSUs or any other taxable event related to the RSUs.
(c)    Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action any Participating Company takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. No Participating Company makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Participating Companies do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.
Section 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.
ARTICLE III.

facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

EXHIBIT B
TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
GRANTED TO PARTICIPANTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.
This Exhibit B includes additional terms applicable to Participants who reside or provide services to a Participating Company in the countries identified below. These terms and conditions are in addition to those set forth in the Agreement to which this Exhibit B is attached and the Plan and to the extent there are any inconsistencies between these terms and conditions and those set forth in the Agreement, these terms and conditions shall prevail. Any capitalized term used in this Exhibit B without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan or the Agreement, as applicable.
This International Appendix also includes information relating to exchange control and other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of [____], 2026. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant does not rely on the information herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the RSUs are settled or Shares acquired under the Plan are sold.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the particular situation of the Participant, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation. Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant.
