EXHIBIT A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
1.Grant. The Company grants the Participant an award of RSUs as described in the Notice of Grant. Except as set forth in this Agreement, if there is a conflict between the Plan, this Agreement, or any other agreement with the Participant governing these RSUs, those documents will take precedence and prevail in the following order: (a) the Plan, (b) the Agreement, and (c) any other agreement between the Company and the Participant governing these RSUs.
2.Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each RSU is a right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Until an RSU vests, the Participant has no right to payment of the Share. Before a vested RSU is paid, the RSU is an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the Company’s general assets. A vested RSU will be paid to the Participant (or in the event of his or her death, to his or her estate or such other person as specified in Section 6 below) in a whole Share no later than 60 days following the vesting date (or, if earlier, no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which occurs the first date on which the applicable RSU is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 409A)), subject to him or her satisfying any withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 7 below) and any delay in payment required under Section 7 below. The Participant cannot specify (directly or indirectly) the taxable year of the payment of any vested RSU under this Agreement.
3.Vesting. These RSUs will vest only under the Vesting Requirements in the Notice of Grant and Appendix 1 or Section 4 of this Agreement. Except as provided in, and subject to the terms of, Section 5 and Appendix 1 to the Agreement, RSUs scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest unless the Participant continues to be a Service Provider until the time such vesting is scheduled to occur. The Administrator may modify the Vesting Requirements according to its authority under the Plan if the Participant takes a leave of absence or has a reduction in hours worked.
4.Administrator Discretion. The Administrator has the discretion to accelerate the vesting of any RSUs at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. In that case, those RSUs will be vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.
5.Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Except as provided in Appendix 1, upon the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any reason, these RSUs will immediately stop vesting and any of these RSUs that have not yet vested will be forfeited by the Participant upon: (a) the 30th day following the Termination of Status Date (or any earlier date on or following the Termination of Status Date determined by the Administrator or as provided in Appendix 1) if the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider is due to the Participant’s death or (b) except as provided in Appendix 1, the Termination of Status Date if the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider is for any reason other than the Participant’s death. The date of the Participant’s termination as a Service Provider is detailed in Section 10(m) below.
6.Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Participant under this Agreement will, if he or she is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of his or her estate or, if the Administrator permits, his or her designated beneficiary, provided such designation is valid under Applicable Laws. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations that apply to the transfer.
7.Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the member of the Company Group which employs the Participant or for which the Participant is otherwise providing services (the “Service Recipient”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance
-A-1-


contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account, and other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions paid on the Shares, and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the 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.
(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax-withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy any withholding obligations or rights the Company and/or the Service Recipient may have for Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy any applicable withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i)withholding from wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company or the Service Recipient;
(ii)requiring the Participant to make a cash payment;
(iii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);
(iv)withholding Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant upon settlement of the RSUs; and
(v)any other method acceptable to the Company and permitted under the Plan and Applicable Laws, provided, however, that if the Participant is an officer of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the obligation for Tax-Related Items will be satisfied only by one or a combination of methods (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) above.
The Company and/or the Service Recipient may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding rates or other withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Participant’s jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares), or, if not refunded, Participant may be able to seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority. If the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items.
(c)The Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations for Tax-Related Items.
(d)This Section 7(d) does not apply if the Participant is not a U.S. income taxpayer.
-A-2-


(i)If the vesting of any RSUs is accelerated in connection with a termination of the Participant’s status as a Service Provider that is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and (x) the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A at that time and (y) the payment of such accelerated RSUs would result in the imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A if paid to the Participant within the 6-month period following such termination, then the accelerated RSUs will not be paid until the first day after the 6-month period ends.
(ii)If the Participant’s status as a Service Provider terminates due to death or the Participant dies after he or she stops being a Service Provider, the delay under subsection (i) above will not apply, and these RSUs will be paid in Shares to the Participant’s estate (or such other person as specified in Section 6 above) as soon as practicable.
(iii)All payments and benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A or comply with any requirements necessary to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B) so that none of these RSUs or Shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Code Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms will be interpreted according to that intent. In no event will any member of the Company Group have any obligation or liability to reimburse, indemnify, or hold harmless the Participant for any taxes imposed, or other costs incurred, as a result of Code Section 409A.
(iv)Each payment under this Agreement is a separate payment under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).
8.Forfeiture or Clawback. These RSUs (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit received by the Participant from any subsequent sale of Shares issued upon payment of the RSUs) will be subject to any compensation recovery or clawback policy implemented by the Company before the date of this Agreement and any policy referred to in Section 15(b) of the Plan. This includes any clawback policy adopted to comply with the requirements of Applicable Laws.
9.Rights as Stockholder. The Participant’s rights as a stockholder of the Company (including the right to vote and to receive dividends and distributions) will not begin until Shares have been issued and recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars.
10.Nature of Grant. In accepting the RSU award, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)THE VESTING OF THE RSUS IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER (EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN APPENDIX 1) AND MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN APPENDIX 1;
(b)BEING HIRED OR BEING GRANTED THESE RSUS WILL NOT RESULT IN VESTING OF THE RSUS;
(c)THE RSUS AND THIS AGREEMENT DO NOT CREATE ANY EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE CONTRACT WITH THE COMPANY OR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE COMPANY GROUP;
(d)THE RSUS AND THIS AGREEMENT DO NOT CREATE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND DO NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THE PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE SERVICE RECIPIENT TO TERMINATE THE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAWS;

(l)THE FUTURE VALUE OF THE SHARES UNDERLYING THE RSUS IS UNKNOWN, INDETERMINABLE, AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED WITH CERTAINTY;
(m)FOR PURPOSES OF THE RSUS, THE PARTICIPANT’S TERMINATION OF STATUS DATE WILL BE THE DATE THE PARTICIPANT IS NO LONGER ACTIVELY PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE COMPANY OR ANY MEMBER OF THE COMPANY GROUP (REGARDLESS OF THE REASON FOR SUCH TERMINATION AND WHETHER OR NOT THE TERMINATION IS LATER FOUND TO BE INVALID OR IN BREACH OF EMPLOYMENT LAWS IN THE JURISDICTION WHERE THE PARTICIPANT IS A SERVICE PROVIDER OR THE TERMS OF HIS OR HER EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE AGREEMENT, IF ANY), AND WILL BE EXTENDED BY ANY NOTICE PERIOD (E.G., THE PARTICIPANT’S PERIOD OF SERVICE WOULD INCLUDE ANY CONTRACTUAL NOTICE PERIOD OR ANY PERIOD OF “GARDEN LEAVE” OR SIMILAR PERIOD MANDATED UNDER EMPLOYMENT LAWS IN THE JURISDICTION WHERE THE PARTICIPANT IS A SERVICE PROVIDER OR THE TERMS OF THE PARTICIPANT’S EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE AGREEMENT, IF ANY) UNLESS THE ADMINISTRATOR, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, OTHERWISE DETERMINES THAT SUCH NOTICE PERIOD WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE PARTICIPANT’S PERIOD OF SERVICE; THE ADMINISTRATOR SHALL HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE DISCRETION TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PARTICIPANT IS NO LONGER ACTIVELY PROVIDING SERVICES FOR PURPOSES OF THE RSUS (INCLUDING WHETHER THE PARTICIPANT MAY STILL BE CONSIDERED TO BE PROVIDING SERVICES WHILE ON A LEAVE OF ABSENCE);

11.Data Privacy Information and Consent.
(a)Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Service Recipient collect, process and use certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards granted under the Plan or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Participant’s consent.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services, Inc. and certain of its affiliated companies (“E*TRADE”), an independent service provider based in the United States which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, and as processor of all payments received or made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company transfers Data to Computershare Inc. and its affiliated company, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company (“Computershare”) as its sole transfer agent and registrar of Shares, which may assist the Company with the administrator of the Plan. The Company may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Data with such other service providers in a similar manner. The Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company, E*TRADE and Computershare are based in the United States. The Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Data, where required, is the Participant’s consent.

(d)Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws. This period may extend beyond the Participant’s service relationship. When the Company or the Service Recipient no longer need Data for any of the above purposes, they will cease processing it in this context and remove it from all of their systems used for such purposes, to the fullest extent possible.
(e)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent, Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and the Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if he or she later seeks to revoke the consent, the Participant’s compensation from or service relationship with the Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing his or her consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Participant the RSUs or other awards under the Plan or administer or maintain such awards.
(f)Data Subject Rights. The Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her jurisdiction. Depending on where the Participant is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectify incorrect Data, (iii) delete Data, (iv) restrict the processing of Data, (v) restrict the portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data.

The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Service Recipient.
12.Miscellaneous.

If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
(c)Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to accept awards (including RSUs) granted under the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company, now or in the future. The Participant must provide the Company or any designated third party administrator with a paper copy of any documents if his or her attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails.

The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares subject to the RSUs with the SEC, any other U.S. or non-U.S. federal or state securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of Shares. Further, the Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without the Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.
(g)Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
(h)Captions. Captions provided in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
(i)Agreement Severable. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the invalidity or unenforceability will have no effect on the remainder of this Agreement.
(j)Country-Specific Terms and Conditions. These RSUs are subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in the Country-Specific Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award attached hereto as Exhibit B for the Participant’s country. If the Participant relocates to a country included in the Country-Specific Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award, such terms and conditions for that country will apply to him or her to the extent the Company determines that applying such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Country-Specific Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award constitute part of this Agreement.
(k)Choice of Law; Choice of Forum. The Plan, this Agreement, these RSUs, and all determinations made and actions taken under the Plan, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law that would result in the application of laws of any other jurisdiction. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the Plan, the Participant’s acceptance of these RSUs is his or her consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Delaware and his or her agreement that any such litigation will be conducted exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery or the federal courts for the United States for the District of Delaware and no other courts, regardless of where he or she is performing services.
(l)Modifications to the Agreement. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. The Company reserves the right to revise the Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participant, to comply with Code Section 409A, to otherwise avoid
-A-7-


imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Code Section 409A in connection with these RSUs, or to comply with other Applicable Laws.
(m)Waiver. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement by him or her.
(n)Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. By accepting the RSU award, the Participant acknowledges that he or she is bound by all the terms and conditions of the Company’s insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Participant further acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s or his or her broker’s country or the country in which the Shares are listed, he or she may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” (or any term of similar applicability) regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before the Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees, and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
(o)Foreign Asset/Account, Exchange Control and Tax Requirements. Depending on the Participant’s country, the Participant may be subject to foreign asset/account, exchange control, tax reporting or other requirements which may affect the Participant’s ability acquire or hold RSUs or Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including dividends and the proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage/bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Applicable Laws may require that he or she report such RSUs, Shares, accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in such country and/or repatriate funds received in connection with the Plan to the Participant’s country within a certain time period or according to certain procedures. The Participant acknowledges that he or she is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable requirements and should consult his or her personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable laws.

Award Conditioned on Satisfaction of Regulatory Obligations. In addition to the vesting requirements set forth in the Notice of Grant and the Agreement, settlement of the RSUs is also conditioned on the Company’s completion of a registration of the Plan and the RSUs with SAFE and on the continued effectiveness of such registration.

Securities Law Information. Warning: This is an offer of rights to receive Shares upon vesting of the RSUs subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Notice of Grant and the Plan. Shares, if issued, will give the Participant a stake in the ownership of the Company. In that case, the Participant could receive a return if the Company becomes more valuable, and the Participant may also receive dividends if paid on the Shares.
If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Participant as a stockholder will be paid only after all creditors have been paid. The Participant may lose some or all of his or her investment.
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision.
The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, the Participant may not be given all the information usually required. The Participant will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment, if any.
The Participant should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing to participate in the Plan.
The Shares are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “NET” and Shares acquired under the Plan may be sold through this exchange. The Participant may end up selling the Shares at a price that is lower than the value of the Shares when the Participant acquired them. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.
For information on risk factors impacting the Company’s business that may affect the value of the Shares, the Participant should refer to the risk factors discussion on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the SEC and are available online at www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company’s website at https://cloudflare.net/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx.

APPENDIX 1
PERFORMANCE AND VESTING TERMS
This award of RSUs and all or a portion of the Number of RSUs Granted subject to this award shall (a) become eligible to vest upon the satisfaction of Stock Price Goals as described in more detail below (the “Performance Goals”), and (b) vest if the Participant remains a Service Provider on the related Certification Date(s) and through the applicable Time-Based Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided herein. Defined terms used, but not defined, in the Notice of Grant, the Agreement or the Plan, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Appendix I.
A.Tranches. This award of RSUs is divided into six (6) vesting tranches (each, a “Tranche”). Each Tranche is numbered from 1 through 6, as set forth in Table 1 below, with each Tranche representing a portion of this award and covering a number of Shares specified next to the applicable Tranche number in Table 1 below (with respect to each Tranche, the “Tranche Shares”). As described in additional detail below, if the Stock Price Goal applicable to a Tranche is achieved within the Performance Period, then the Tranche Shares related to such Tranche shall become Eligible Shares, with the resulting Eligible Shares eligible to vest as set forth in Section C.4 below. Eligible Shares shall be determined separately with respect to each Tranche. No Tranche Share may become an Eligible Share more than one (1) time.

*Number of Tranche Shares is subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Plan; the Stock Price Goals are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section C.2.(b).
B.Maximum Number of Shares That May Vest. Subject to any adjustments pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Plan, the maximum number of Tranche Shares subject to a Tranche that may vest is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Tranche’s Tranche Shares, and the maximum number of RSUs subject to this award that may vest is equal to the Number of RSUs Granted as set forth above in this Notice of Grant.
C.Vesting. The vesting of the Tranches will be subject to both (1) the achievement of the Performance Goals and (2) the Participant’s continuing to be a Service Provider on the related Certification Date(s) and through the applicable Time-Based Vesting Date, in each case as described in this Section C., subject to Section E. in connection with a Change in Control.
1.Performance Period. The period during which the Stock Price Goal applicable to a Tranche may be achieved begins with the Grant Date and ends on the Performance Period End Date (the “Performance Period”). If the Termination Date occurs before the Performance Period End Date, then, except to the extent provided in Section E. below, the Performance Period will terminate as of the Termination Date and no RSUs subject to this award may vest based on any achievement of the Performance Goals that occurs after the
-1-


Termination Date. Further, for clarity, RSUs subject to this award may become eligible to vest, and may vest, only while this award (or applicable portion thereof) remains outstanding.
2.Stock Price Goals.
a.Generally. Subject to Section E. below, for a Tranche to become eligible to vest, the Company must achieve a VWAP Price equal to at least the Stock Price Goal amount set forth opposite such Tranche in Table 1 above (each, a “Stock Price Goal”). If the Company achieves the Stock Price Goal applicable to a Tranche (an “Achieved Tranche”), then the number of Tranche Shares that become eligible to vest will equal the Tranche Shares corresponding to such Tranche (and any Tranche Shares for a lower-numbered Tranche that did not previously vest). The resulting number of Tranche Shares that become eligible to vest are referred to herein as “Eligible Shares”. The Stock Price Goal applicable to a Tranche may be achieved only once during the Performance Period, and accordingly, any achievement of an Achieved Tranche’s Stock Price Goal after such Stock Price Goal already has been achieved during the Performance Period will not result in any additional Tranche Shares becoming Eligible Shares, or vesting, with respect to such Achieved Tranche. For the avoidance of doubt, more than one Tranche may become an Achieved Tranche at the same time, if the applicable Stock Price Goals for the applicable Tranches are achieved (to the extent not previously achieved).
b.Certain Adjustments. In the event that any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire securities of the Company, other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares, or any similar equity restructuring transaction, as that term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any of its successors) affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this award, will make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price Goal(s) set forth in Table 1 above to the extent such Stock Price Goal(s) have not yet been achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company and ordinary course repurchases of shares or other securities of the Company will not be treated as an event that will require adjustment under this Section C.2.(b).
3.Certification of Performance. The Administrator periodically will determine and certify in writing (a “Certification”) whether the Company has achieved any of the Stock Price Goals, the applicable Stock Price Achievement Date, and any Eligible Shares. The date of each such certification is a “Certification Date.” In addition, the Participant, from time to time (but not more than twice per fiscal quarter of the Company) during the Performance Period, also may make requests that the Administrator complete a Certification. Upon such written request by the Participant, the Administrator will complete a Certification within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of the Participant’s written request. As noted above, no RSUs subject to this award may vest based on any achievement of the Performance Goals that occurs after the Termination Date. Without limiting the foregoing and to the extent any Tranche is then outstanding and unvested, the Administrator will complete at least one Certification within the thirty (30)-day period beginning sixty (60) days prior to the Performance Period End Date and further, to the extent reasonably possible that the Company may achieve any Stock Price Goals not yet achieved by such time, in each of the last ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending with the Performance Period End Date.
4.Time-Based Vesting Schedule – Continued Service Provider Status Through Vesting Date. Time-based vesting will apply on a Tranche-by-Tranche basis. Subject to Section E., one-sixth (1/6th) of the total number of Tranche Shares subject to the applicable Tranche of the award will meet the time-based vesting requirements on each Quarterly Vesting Date on or following the Certification Date on which such Tranche first became an Achieved Tranche (each, a “Time-Based Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant remaining a Service Provider through the applicable Time-Based Vesting Date (such requirements, the “Time-Based Requirements”). For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section E., Tranche Shares subject to an Achieved Tranche will only
-2-


become vested and exercisable if the Time-Based Requirements of this Section C.4 have been met with respect to such Shares.
5.Forfeiture. Subject to Section E., the RSUs and the applicable Tranche Shares subject to this award will forfeit, and the Participant no longer will have any rights to vest in or to acquire such Shares under this award, as follows (on the earliest to occur on the applicable event or date):
a.Subject to Section E., in the event of the cessation of Participant’s status as a Service Provider, any Tranche Shares subject to this award for which the applicable Stock Price Goal has not been achieved and which have not yet become Eligible Shares shall automatically be forfeited (i) in the event of the cessation of Participant’s status as a Service Provider is due to any reason other than Participant’s death or Disability, upon such cessation of Participant’s status as a Service Provider, and (ii) in the event of the cessation of Participant’s status as a Service Provider is due to Participant’s death or Disability, upon the 30th day following the Termination Date (or any earlier date on or following the Termination Date determined by the Administrator).
b.Subject to Section C.3. and Section E., in the event of the cessation of Participant’s status as a Service Provider, any Tranche Shares subject to this award for which the applicable Time-Based Requirements have not been achieved shall automatically be forfeited (i) in the event of the cessation of Participant’s status as a Service Provider is due to any reason other than Participant’s death or Disability, upon such cessation of Participant’s status as a Service Provider, and (ii) in the event of the cessation of Participant’s status as a Service Provider is due to Participant’s death or Disability, upon the 30th day following the Termination Date (or any earlier date on or following the Termination Date determined by the Administrator).
c.100% of the Tranche Shares that have not become Eligible Shares as of the Performance Period End Date will be immediately forfeited on the Performance Period End Date at the time on such date that is consistent with the Company’s practices then in effect with respect to the expiration of RSU awards
d.As and to the extent provided under Section E.3. below.
D.[Reserved]
E.Change in Control. In the event of the first Change in Control to occur following the Grant Date and that occurs during the Performance Period, the following terms of this Section E. will apply.
1.Shortened Performance Period and Measurement of Stock Price Goals Based on CIC Price; Final Certifications. The Administrator will determine, in good faith, whether an event (or series of events) constitutes a Change in Control. The Performance Period will be shortened to end upon the completion of the Change in Control (the “Shortened Performance Period”). During the period beginning upon the earlier of (i) the execution of the definitive agreement addressing the transactions that would give rise to the Change in Control or (ii)  the public announcement of a transaction or series of transactions that, if completed, would give rise to a Change in Control (such date, the “Change in Control Announcement Date”) and ending upon the earlier of the end of the Shortened Performance Period or the “Change in Control Termination Date” (as defined below) (the “VWAP Pause Period”), no additional Tranche shall become an Achieved Tranche based on the VWAP Price. Instead, during the VWAP Pause Period, achievement of the Stock Price Goals (to the extent not previously achieved) may only occur upon the end of the Shortened Performance Period at the completion of the Change in Control and will be measured based on the CIC Price rather than the VWAP Price, such that, subject to the linear interpolation provisions of this Section E., for a Stock Price Goal to be achieved and the related Tranche to become an Achieved Tranche, the Company must achieve a CIC Price equal to at least the Stock Price Goal amount set forth opposite such Tranche in Table 1 above. Prior to the Change in Control, the Administrator will complete a final Certification for such Shortened Performance Period, which Certification will include a determination with respect to whether the Company will have achieved, upon the completion of the Change in Control, any Stock Price Goals based on the CIC Price and which Certification will be contingent upon the consummation of the Change in Control (the “CIC Certification”). If the sale or other arrangements that give rise
-3-


to the Change in Control Announcement Date are terminated by their terms or otherwise withdrawn, as applicable (such date of termination or withdrawal, the “Change in Control Termination Date”), the VWAP Pause Period will end and the regular Performance Period will resume, and the calculation for the VWAP Price shall re-commence beginning with the first day following the Change in Control Termination Date (with no credit toward the Stock Price Goals provided for any VWAP Price achieved during the VWAP Pause Period).
a.Linear Interpolation for CIC Certification. If (i) the Company achieves a CIC Price that is less than a Stock Price Goal amount applicable to a Tranche that has not yet become an Achieved Tranche, but (ii) the CIC Price is greater than the next highest Stock Price Goal amount that is less than the Stock Price Goal amount described in clause (i), then a number of Tranche Shares subject to the Tranche subject to the Stock Price Goal amount described in clause (i) nonetheless will be considered to have achieved the Stock Price Goal (the “Partially Achieved Goal”) by applying the formula of ((A) / (B))* (C), with the result rounded down to the nearest whole Share, where “(A)” equals the amount by which the CIC Price exceeds the Stock Price Goal for the highest Stock Price Goal fully achieved by the CIC Price; “(B)” equals the difference between the Stock Price Goal for the Tranche described in clause (i) and the Stock Price Goal for the highest Stock Price Goal fully achieved by the CIC Price, and “(C)” equals the total number of Shares subject to the Tranche described in clause (i). Such resulting number of Tranche Shares will be considered Eligible Shares.
b.1Linear Interpolation Example for Change in Control. As an example, assume that a Change in Control occurs both while this award remains outstanding and the Participant remains a Service Provider, the Company achieves a CIC Price of $275.00, and the Company previously achieved the Stock Price Goals for Tranche 1 but not the Stock Price Goal for Tranches 2 through 6 pursuant to the Certifications through and inclusive of the final Certification. Pursuant to the CIC Certification, the Stock Price Goal for Tranches 2 through 3 will be considered fully achieved and the [_______] Tranche Shares subject to Tranches 2 through 3 will be Eligible Shares and the Stock Price Goal for Tranche 4 will be considered a Partially Achieved Goal and as a result, [_______] Tranche Shares subject to Tranche 4 will be Eligible Shares.
2.Waiver of Time-Based Vesting in Connection with CIC. As of immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Time-Based Requirements of Section C.4 automatically will be waived such that, subject to the Participant’s remaining a Service Provider through immediately prior to the Change in Control, all Eligible Shares will vest as of immediately prior to the Change in Control.
3.Forfeiture. Section 13(e) of the Plan shall not apply to this award. Any RSUs subject to this award that have not vested as of immediately prior to the Change in Control (after giving effect to Sections E.1. and E.2.) will be forfeited as of immediately prior to the Change in Control and will not be eligible for any vesting or payment of any consideration in respect thereof as a result of the completion of the Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, this constitutes an explicit statement for purposes of Section 1 of Exhibit A to this Agreement that the provisions of this Section E.3. will take precedence and prevail over Section 13(e) of the Plan.
F.Company Leave of Absence Policy Applicable to Time-Based Requirements. The award will remain eligible to satisfy the Performance Goals during any leave of absence taken by the Participant that is approved by the Administrator, subject to the Participant remaining a Service Provider during such leave of absence. However, the ability to satisfy the Time-Based Requirements will be tolled during such leave of absence in accordance with the stock award-related provisions of any Company leave of absence policy in effect at the time of and during the Participant’s leave of absence. The Administrator will determine, in good faith, whether to approve any leave of absence by the Participant, the date on which the Participant stops actively providing services and whether a Participant may still be considered to be a Service Provider while on a leave of absence. For the avoidance of doubt, this constitutes an explicit statement for purposes of Section 1 of Exhibit A to this Agreement that the provisions of this Section F. will, to the extent provided herein, take precedence and prevail over any provisions of the Plan or any Company leave of absence policy related to the impact of a leave of absence on stock awards.

G.Change in Control Severance Policy Not Applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Company’s Change in Control and Severance Policy or Participant’s Participant Agreement thereunder (together, the “CIC and Severance Policy/Agreement”), no portion of the award (whether or not Eligible Shares) shall at any time be deemed to be a “Time-Based Equity Award” under the CIC and Severance Policy/Agreement or otherwise be subject to any acceleration of vesting provisions of the CIC and Severance Policy/Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this constitutes an explicit statement for purposes of Section 1 of Exhibit A to this Agreement that the provisions of this Section G. will take precedence and prevail over any provisions of the CIC and Severance Policy/Agreement as they otherwise could affect the vesting of this award.
