Exhibit A

GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Global Stock Option Agreement, including any additional terms and conditions for Participant’s country set forth in the addendum attached hereto (the “Addendum” and, together with the Global Stock Option Agreement, the “Agreement”) shall have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.

ARTICLE I.

GENERAL

1.1 Grant of Option. The Company has granted to Participant the Option effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”).

1.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Option is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, 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 will control, unless it is expressly specified in this Agreement or the Grant Notice that the specific provision of the Plan will not apply. For clarity, the foregoing sentence shall not limit the applicability of any additive language contained in this Agreement which provides supplemental or additional terms not inconsistent with the Plan. If the Addendum applies to Participant, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Plan and the provisions in the Addendum, the terms and conditions in the Addendum shall control.

ARTICLE II.

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

2.1 Commencement of Exercisability. The Option will vest and become exercisable according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice (the “Vesting Schedule”) except that any fraction of a Share as to which the Option would be vested or exercisable will be accumulated and will vest and become exercisable only when a whole vested Share has accumulated.

2.2 Forfeiture. Except as otherwise set forth in the Grant Notice, the Plan or this Agreement, and unless the Administrator otherwise determines, the Option will immediately expire and be forfeited as to any portion of the Option that is not vested and exercisable as of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason (after taking into consideration any accelerated vesting and exercisability which may occur in connection with such Termination of Service, if any). For the avoidance of doubt, employment or other service during only a portion of the vesting period, but where Termination of Service has occurred prior to a vesting date, shall not entitle Participant to vest in a pro-rata portion of the Option.

For purposes of the Option, Participant’s Termination of Service will be deemed to occur as of the date Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary which employs Participant or to which Participant otherwise renders services (the “Service Recipient”) or any other Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of Participant’s employment or other service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly determined by the Company, Participant’s right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s employment or other service will not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of Participant’s employment or other service agreement, if any); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively rendering services for purposes of the Option (including whether Participant may still be considered to be rendering services while on a leave of absence).

 

1


2.3 Duration of Exercisability. The Vesting Schedule is cumulative. Any portion of the Option which vests and becomes exercisable will remain vested and exercisable until the Option expires. The Option will be forfeited immediately upon its expiration.

2.4 Expiration of Option. Except as may be extended in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Plan, the Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after, and will expire on, the first of the following to occur:

(a) The final expiration date in the Grant Notice;

(b) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, the expiration of three (3) months from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service, unless Participant’s Termination of Service is for Cause or by reason of Participant’s death or Disability;

(c) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, the expiration of one year from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of Participant’s death or Disability; and

(d) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, Participant’s Termination of Service for Cause.

ARTICLE III.

EXERCISE OF OPTION

3.1 Person Eligible to Exercise. During Participant’s lifetime, only Participant may exercise the Option. After Participant’s death, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time the Option expires, be exercised by Participant’s Designated Beneficiary as provided in the Plan.

3.2 Partial Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised, in whole or in part, according to the procedures in the Plan at any time prior to the time the Option or portion thereof expires, except that the Option may only be exercised for whole Shares.

3.3 Exercise Price.

(a) Subject to Section 3.3(b), payment of the exercise price may be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion:

(i) Cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or check;

(ii) By delivery of Shares, including Shares delivered by attestation then-owned by Participant, valued at their fair market value on the date of delivery;

(iii) By the Company withholding Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, valued at their fair market value on the exercise date;

 

2


(iv) If Participant is not subject to Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries, with the consent of the Administrator, by delivery of a promissory note, in a form determined by or acceptable to the Administrator, or other property that the Administrator determines is good and valuable consideration; or

(v) By any combination of (i) - (iv) above.

(b) Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, payment of the exercise price shall either (as elected by Participant) be by (i) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) by Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company that Participant has placed a market sell order with such broker with respect to Shares then-issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to satisfy the applicable exercise price, provided, that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator; or (ii) delivery of cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or check by Participant to the Company.

ARTICLE IV.

TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING

4.1 Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Option and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

4.2 Responsibility for Taxes.

(a) Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed applicable to Participant (“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 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 Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of any Option; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option 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) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b) In connection with any relevant taxable or tax-withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant hereby authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items (as applicable) by one or a combination of the following methods: (i) requiring Participant to make a payment in a form acceptable to the Company; (ii) withholding from Participant’s salary, wages or any other amounts payable to Participant; (iii) withholding from proceeds from the sale of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); (iv) withholding Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option; or (v) any other method of withholding determined by Administrator to be in compliance with Applicable Laws.

 

3


(c) The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or other withholding rates, including the maximum rates applicable in Participant’s jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares) or, if not refunded, Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. If the obligations for Tax-Related Items in connection with the Option are satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the withholding obligations for the Tax-Related Items.

(d) The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares to Participant unless and until Participant shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full, the amount of any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items resulting from the Option or the Shares subject to the Option.

ARTICLE V.

OTHER PROVISIONS

5.1 No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan or Participant’s receipt, vesting or exercise of the Option, the Shares subject to the Option or the sale of such Shares. Participant is hereby advised to consult with Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan and the Option before accepting the Option or otherwise taking any action related to the Option or the Plan.

5.2 Nature of Grant. By accepting the Option, Participant acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is wholly discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended, or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b) the Plan is operated and the award of Option is granted solely by the Company and only the Company is a party to this Agreement; accordingly, any rights Participant may have under this Agreement may be raised only against the Company but not any Subsidiary (including, but not limited to, the Service Recipient);

(c) no Subsidiary (including, but not limited to, the Service Recipient) has any obligation to make any payment of any kind to Participant under this Agreement;

(d) the grant of the Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past;

(e) all decisions with respect to future grants of options or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(f) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(g) the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of the same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

 

4


(h) the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(i) the future value of the Shares underlying the Option is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(j) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value after the Grant Date, the Option will have no value;

(k) if Participant exercises the Option and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease, even below the exercise price;

(l) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from Participant’s Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever and regardless of whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of Applicable Laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is providing service or the terms of Participant’s employment or other service agreement, if any) and/or the application of any recoupment, recovery, or clawback policy otherwise required by Applicable Laws;

(m) unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Option, the Shares subject to the Option, and the income from and value of the same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary;

(n) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option, and/or any such other benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and

(o) neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any Subsidiary thereof shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option.

5.3 Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

5.4 Clawback. The Option and the Shares issuable pursuant to the Option shall be subject to the Company’s Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, as well as any other clawback or recoupment policy in effect on the Grant Date or that may be adopted or maintained by the Company following the Grant Date. In order to satisfy any recoupment obligations, Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm or stock plan service provider engaged by the Company to hold Shares or other amounts acquired pursuant to the Option to reconvey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company’s enforcement of the clawback policy or any other applicable recoupment obligation.

5.5 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s General Counsel at the Company’s principal office or the General Counsel’s then-current email address. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant (or, if Participant is then

 

5


deceased, to the Designated Beneficiary) at Participant’s last known mailing address or email address in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.5, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, or when delivered by an internationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.

5.6 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

5.7 Conformity to Applicable Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state or local securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state or local governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any other securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. Further, Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws applicable to issuance of Shares.

5.8 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to a single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

5.9 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Option will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

5.10 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any addenda attached hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not modify (and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of) any employment, consulting and/or severance agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary thereof and Participant in effect as of the date a determination is to be made under this Agreement.

 

6


5.11 Severability. If any portion of the Grant Notice or this Agreement or any action taken under the Grant Notice or this Agreement, in any case is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Grant Notice and/or this Agreement (as applicable), and the Grant Notice and/or this Agreement (as applicable) will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.

5.12 Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Option, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Option, as and when exercised pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

5.13 Not a Contract of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (including the Addendum) confers upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Service Recipient) or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company, the Service Recipient and any other Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company, the Service Recipient or any other Subsidiary (as applicable) and Participant.

5.14 Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.

5.15 Incentive Stock Options. If the Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option:

(a) Participant acknowledges that to the extent the aggregate fair market value of shares (determined as of the time the option with respect to the shares is granted) with respect to which stock options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, including the Option, are exercisable for the first time by Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000 or if for any other reason such stock options do not qualify or cease to qualify for treatment as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, such stock options (including the Option) will be treated as non-qualified stock options. Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence will be applied by taking the Option and other stock options into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code. Participant also acknowledges that if the Option is exercised more than three months after Participant’s Termination of Service, other than by reason of death or disability, the Option will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

(b) Participant will give prompt written notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any Shares acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or other transfer is made (i) within two years from the Grant Date or (ii) within one year after the transfer of such Shares to Participant. Such notice will specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

5.16 Governing Law and Venue. The Grant Notice and this Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding any state’s choice-of-law principles requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of San Francisco County, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

 

7


5.17 Addendum. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, if Participant performs services for the Company outside of the United States, the Option shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in the Addendum to this Agreement for Participant’s country of residence. Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement.

5.18 Language. Participant acknowledges that Participant is sufficiently proficient in English or has had an opportunity to consult with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in the English language, and understands the content of the Grant Notice, the Agreement and other Plan materials. If Participant has received the Grant Notice or this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan and/or the Option translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise explicitly required by Applicable Laws.

5.19 Imposition of other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Option, 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 Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

5.20 Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. Depending on Participant’s country or broker’s country, or the country in which the Shares are listed, Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of the Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., the Option) or rights linked to the value of Shares, during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, Participant may be prohibited from (i) disclosing insider information to any third party, including fellow Employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise 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 any applicable Company insider trading policy. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

5.21 Foreign Asset/Account Reporting, Exchange Control and Tax Reporting. Participant may be subject to foreign asset/account, exchange control and/or tax reporting requirements as a result of the acquisition, holding and/or transfer of Shares or cash (including dividends and the proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) derived from his or her participation in the Plan in, to and/or from a brokerage/bank account or legal entity located outside Participant’s country. Applicable Laws may require that Participant report such accounts, assets, the balances therein, the value thereof and/or the transactions related thereto to the applicable authorities in such country. Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. Participant acknowledges that Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable foreign asset/account, exchange control and tax reporting requirements and should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

ARTICLE VI.

DATA PRIVACY

6.1 Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Service Recipient may collect, process and use certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock 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 Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is Participant’s consent.

6.2 Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to Shareworks by Morgan Stanley and its affiliated companies, an independent service provider based in the United States, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, and any successor thereto. The Company may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner. 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.

6.3 International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is Participant’s consent.

6.4 Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, security and labor laws. When the Company no longer needs Participant’s Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. The Company may keep Data longer to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations, and the Company’s legal basis would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations.

6.5 Voluntaries and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seek to revoke Participant’s consent, Participant’s compensation from or service with the Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Options under the Plan or other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards.

6.6 Data Subject Rights. Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in Participant’s country. Depending on where Participant is based, Participant’s rights may include the right to (a) request access to or copies of Data the Company processes, (b) rectification of incorrect Data, (c) deletion of Data, (d) restrictions on processing of Data, (e) restrictions on portability of Data, (f) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Participant’s country, and/or (g) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Participant’s Data. To receive clarification regarding Participant’s rights or to exercise such rights, Participant should contact stock-administration@blaize.com.

ADDENDUM

2025 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Global Stock Option Grant Notice, the Global Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) and the Plan.

Terms and Conditions

This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to Participant under the Plan if Participant resides and/or works in any of the countries listed below. If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant is currently working and/or residing, transfers to another country after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the additional terms and conditions contained herein apply to Participant.

Notifications

This Addendum also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of July 2025. Such laws are often complex and change frequently, and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information contained herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time Participant exercises the Option, acquires Shares or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Participant’s country apply to Participant’s specific situation.

Finally, Participant understands that if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant currently resides and/or works, transfers to another country after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not apply to Participant in the same manner.

 

Addendum-1


CANADA

Terms and Conditions

Non-Qualified Securities. All or a portion of the Shares subject to the Option may be “non-qualified securities” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Company shall provide Participant with additional information and/or appropriate notification regarding the characterization of the Option for Canadian income tax purposes as may be required by the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder.

Exercise Price. The following provision supplements Section 3.3 of the Option Agreement:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of the Plan, Participant is prohibited from paying the Exercise Price per Share by (i) delivering already-owned Shares or (ii) using a “net exercise” arrangement. The Company reserves the right to permit either of these methods of payment depending upon the development of Applicable Laws.

Nature of Grant. The following provision replaces the second paragraph of Section 2.2 of the Option Agreement:

For purposes of the Option, Participant’s Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of any Applicable Laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of Participant’s employment or other service agreement, if any) will be deemed to occur as of the date that Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company, the Service Recipient or any other Subsidiary and shall exclude and shall not be extended by any period during which notice, pay in lieu of notice or related payments or damages are provided or required to be provided under statute, contract, common/civil law or otherwise. For greater certainty, Participant will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for that portion of time after such date, nor will Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting or exercisability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued entitlement to vesting or exercisability during a statutory notice period, Participant acknowledges that Participant’s right to vest in the Option, if any, will terminate effective as of the last day of Participant’s minimum statutory notice period but Participant will not earn or be entitled to pro-rated vesting or exercisability if the vesting date falls after the end of the statutory notice period, nor will Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting or exercisability.

Securities Law Information. Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any (or any other broker acceptable to the Company), provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Participant is required to report any foreign specified property, including Shares and rights to receive Shares (e.g., the Option), annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign specified property exceeds a certain threshold (currently, CAD 100,000) at any time during the year. Thus, the Option must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the CAD 100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if other Shares

are also owned, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. The Form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year. Participant understands and agrees that Participant should consult with a personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

The sworn statements disclosing this information (or Formularios) must be reported on Form 1929 and submitted electronically through the CIRS website (www.sii.cl) before July 1 of each year, depending on the assets and/or taxes being reported.
