鉴于， 双方希望进入此协议，以建立授予参与者的限制股票单位（以下定义）的条款和条件。
因此，根据本协议中包含的相互承诺，各方同意将上述背景资料纳入本协议，并且各方在其他方面如下达成协议: 考虑到上述前提以及本协议中所列的相互契约和约定，以及其他良好且有价值的考量，双方在此确认其接受和充分性，双方在此同意如下：

2.授予奖项. 参加者在此获授予一项奖励（“奖励”），该奖励是根据计划发行的限制性股票单位（“RSUs”），并由公司董事会薪酬委员会（“委员会”）在授予日（“授予日”）授予，参加者在此接受该奖励，所有条款均受本协议中所列的条件约束。
3.发放日期. 根据以下第7、8、9、11和13条款的规定，RSUs的适用百分比将在每个“归属日”根据以下时间表归属，前提是参加者在从授予日至相关归属日的整个期间内仍为公司（或子公司）的员工或服务人员：
| 发行日期 | RSUs的归属百分比 | ||||
| %%VEST_DATE_PERIOD1,'月 DD, YYYY'%-% | 20% | ||||
| %%VEST_DATE_PERIOD2,'月 DD, YYYY'%-% | 40% | ||||
| %%VEST_DATE_PERIOD3,'月 DD, YYYY'%-% | 60% | ||||
| %%VEST_DATE_PERIOD4,'月 DD, YYYY'%-% | 80% | ||||
| %%VEST_DATE_PERIOD5,'月 DD, YYYY'%-% | 100% | ||||
4.结算；作为股东的权利. 一旦归属，每个限制性股票单位(RSU)应转换为接收一(1)股公司的A类普通股，面值每股$0.001（“股份”）的权利，并在结算时获得。归属的RSU的结算应在该RSU归属之日后迅速进行，并且在任何情况下必须在归属日期后的六十（60）天内完成，但参与者不得被允许直接或间接地指定结算年份。归属时的任何分数股份应用于满足公司的预扣义务。
除非并直到已就归属的RSU发行股份之时，参与者对分配给RSU的股份不拥有所有权，并且根据第5条的规定，对此类股份的股东权利不予承认。结算时，公司应指示公司的过户代理人以参与者的名义发出股份的证书或证书，或对该发出进行帐簿条目记录，参与者随即将对该股份拥有所有股东权利，包括对该股份的投票权以及接受所有分红及其他分配的权利。公司可以在代表股份的证书上加注公司认为适当的说明或说明，并可以对该股份向股份的过户代理人下达停止转让指令。
5.红利等值物. 在RSU的归属之前，任何以现金支付的分红派息将作为额外的RSU记入参与者，就好像参与者当前持有的RSU已转换为股份。 此类记入的金额，无论是整数和/或部分RSU（保留三位小数），应根据该股份支付该分红派息的日期的公平市场价值来判断。 所有记入参与者的额外RSU应遵循适用于本奖励基础RSU的相同归属要求，并应根据本协议在归属RSU结算时进行结算。
6.不得转让. 本奖励和RSU为不可转让，且不得被分配、抵押或假抵，亦不得受到执行、扣押或类似程序的影响。 在任何试图实施此类处置或此类程序的征收时，本奖励将立即失效，RSU将被没收。
7.因死亡、残疾或养老而终止雇佣或服务的情况. 如果参与者与公司及其子公司的雇佣或服务因死亡、残疾或养老而终止（每一项如下定义），则RSU将完全归属，且该奖励上的任何没收限制将在该死亡、残疾或因养老而终止雇佣的日期解除。

The Participant understands that the Company and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about the Participant, including the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or any Subsidiary, and details of all Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (the “Data”), for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan. The Participant further understands that the Company and its Subsidiaries may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, management and administration of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company and its Subsidiaries may each further transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, management and administration of the Plan. The Participant understands that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by
-7-
contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant, through participation in the Plan and acceptance of an Award under the Plan, authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, managing and administering the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Participant understands that the Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, manage and administer the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that if he or she resides outside of the United States, he or she may, at any time, view the Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s employment status and position with the Company or its Subsidiary will not be affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Participant Awards or administer or maintain such Awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
