EXHIBIT A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT
1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the individual named in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant attached as Part I of this Award Agreement (the “Participant”) under the Plan an Award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 18 of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.
2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Section 3, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period ending no later than the date that is two and one-half (2 1⁄2) months from the end of the Company’s tax year that includes the vesting date.
3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.
4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6)
-3-
month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, unless the Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid in Shares to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this Award Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Award Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.
5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate.
6. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. 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 pertaining to said transfer.
7. Withholding of Taxes.
(a) General. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of income, employment and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares. If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations hereunder at the time any applicable Restricted Stock Units otherwise are scheduled to vest pursuant to Sections 3 or 4, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, Participant will permanently forfeit such Restricted Stock Units and any right to receive Shares thereunder and the Restricted Stock Units will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.
(b) Default Method of Tax Withholding. The minimum federal, state, and local and foreign income, social insurance, employment and any other applicable taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to and the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award Agreement (“Tax Withholding Obligation”) will be satisfied by Shares being sold on your behalf pursuant to such procedures as the Company may specify from time to time (it being understood that the Shares to be sold must have vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan). The proceeds from such sale will be used to satisfy your Tax Withholding Obligation (and any associated broker or other fees) arising with respect to your Restricted Stock
-4-
Units. Only whole Shares will be sold to satisfy any Tax Withholding Obligation. Any proceeds from the sale of Shares in excess of the Tax Withholding Obligation (and any associated broker or other fees) will be paid to you in accordance with procedures the Company may specify from time to time. By accepting this Award Agreement, you expressly consent to the sale of Shares to cover the Tax Withholding Obligations (and any associated broker or other fees) pursuant to Stock Trading Plan set forth in Exhibit B and agree and acknowledge that you may not satisfy them by any means other than such sale of Shares, unless required to do so by the Administrator or pursuant to the Administrator’s express written consent.
8. Acknowledgements.

(c) Participant acknowledges that benefits and rights provided under the Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided by the Company, do not constitute regular or periodic payments.

Participant waives any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result or may result from:

(d) The grant of the Restricted Stock Units, and any future grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan is entirely voluntary, and at the complete discretion of the Company.

-5-
(e) The Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be construed by Participant to constitute, part of the terms and conditions of employment, and the Company will not incur any liability of any kind to Participant as a result of any change or amendment, or any cancellation, of the Plan at any time.

Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

EXHIBIT B
STOCK TRADING PLAN FOR MANDATORY SALE OF SHARES TO COVER
TAX WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS
By accepting the Award of Restricted Stock Units, I am adopting and entering into this stock trading plan (the “Sales Plan”) so that I may receive the necessary proceeds to satisfy any requirements to pay the minimum income taxes, employment taxes, social security taxes, social insurance, payroll taxes, contributions, payment on account obligations, national taxes and other applicable taxes and payments (collectively, “Taxes”) required to be withheld by Bazaarvoice, Inc. (the “Company”) (or the parent or subsidiary of the Company employing me) on my behalf if and when such tax withholding obligations arise as a result of the grant of the Award of Restricted Stock Units or any other grant by the Company to me of any restricted stock units, shares of restricted stock or performance shares. I agree and acknowledge that I am not selling shares of Company common stock (“Shares”) on the basis of or while aware of material nonpublic information or that such sales evidence my awareness of material nonpublic information or information at variance with the Company’s statements to investors.
1. Recitals.
(a) I intend for this Sales Plan to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Therefore, all provisions hereof will be interpreted consistent with Rule 10b5-1 and will be automatically modified to the extent necessary to comply therewith.
(b) I am establishing this Sales Plan in order to permit the orderly disposition of a portion of the Shares that I acquired (or will acquire) pursuant to an award of restricted stock units, restricted stock or performance shares (each, an “Equity Award”). The Shares are being sold to provide the necessary proceeds to satisfy any Taxes if and when any tax withholding obligations arise, as well any broker or other fees associated with such sales. By adopting and entering into this Sales Plan, I agree and acknowledge that I may not satisfy such Taxes and associated broker and other fees by any means other than the sale of Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Sales Plan. This Sales Plan will apply to the mandatory sale of Shares under all future Equity Awards received by me from the Company.
(c) Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms in this Sales Plan will have the same defined meanings as in the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
-10-
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. I hereby represent, warrant and covenant that:
(a) I am not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning the Company or its securities. I am entering into this Sales Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the United States federal securities laws.
(b) Once vested, the Shares to be sold under this Sales Plan will be owned free and clear by me and are not subject to any liens, security interests or other encumbrances or limitations on disposition other than those imposed by Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(c) If I am an executive officer or director of the Company, I acknowledge that any filings required under Section 16 of the Exchange Act are my sole responsibility.
(d) I am aware that in order for this Sales Plan to constitute a plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act, I must not enter into or alter a corresponding or hedging transaction with respect to the Shares.
(e) I will not directly or indirectly communicate any information relating to the Company or the Company’s securities to any employee of the Broker (defined below) or its affiliates who is directly or indirectly involved in executing this Sales Plan at any time while this Sales Plan is in effect.
3. Implementation of the Plan.
(a) I hereby appoint the Company to appoint a broker (the “Broker”) to sell Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below.
(b) The Broker is authorized to begin selling Shares pursuant to this Sales Plan commencing on the date that the first Shares under the Equity Award vest or at the time a tax withholding obligation arises with respect to the Equity Award. The Broker will sell such number of Shares as will be required to satisfy (i) any applicable Taxes in accordance with my then current applicable withholding rate (including any supplemental rate), and (ii) any associated broker or other fees.
(c) I understand that the Broker may not be able to effect a sale due to a market disruption or a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction applicable to the Broker or any other event or circumstance (a “Blackout”). I also understand that even in the absence of a Blackout, the Broker may be unable to effect sales consistent with ordinary principles of best execution, due to insufficient volume of trading, or other market factors in effect on the date of a sale. I agree that neither the Company and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents nor the Broker and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “Persons”) will have any liability whatsoever to me for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the Sales Plan, the making of any sale, or any amendment, modification or termination of this Sales Plan, unless such liability is determined in a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross
-11-
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Person. I further agree to hold each Person free and harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred or sustained by such Person in connection with or arising out of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Sales Plan, any sale, or any amendment, modification or termination of this Sales Plan (each an “Action”) and to reimburse each Person for its expenses, as they are incurred, in connection with any Action, unless such loss, damage, liability or expense is determined in a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be solely the result of such Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith.
(d) The Company is authorized to make special handling trade services available to me through the Broker (by or through its affiliates and/or other third party broker dealers designated by the Broker), under which the Shares may be aggregated as one order with Shares in all other participants’ Sales Plans, thereby resulting in non-preferential pricing of order execution and an average sale execution price of Shares under all participants’ Sales Plans. I understand that the Company may suspend the special handling trade services in its sole discretion and that the Company or the Broker may terminate the special handling trade services agreement at any time.
4. Termination. This Sales Plan will terminate upon the last day of my service with the Company, or Company subsidiary employing me. This Sales Plan may not be terminated, modified or amended at any time without the prior approval of the Administrator.
