First Vest Date:
Liquidity Event Deadline:
Number of RSUs:
Expiration Date: The Expiration Date for an RSU depends on whether the Service-Based Requirement (as defined below) has been satisfied with respect to that particular RSU. Where the Service-Based Requirement for a particular RSU has not been satisfied, the Expiration Date is the earlier of: (1) the Liquidity Event Deadline or (2) the date of termination of Participant’s Continuous Service. Where the Service-Based Requirement for a particular RSU has been satisfied in whole or in part, the Expiration Date is the Liquidity Event Deadline.
Vesting:  Participant will receive a benefit with respect to an RSU only if it vests.

An RSU will vest (and therefore becomes a “Vested RSU”) on the first date upon which both the Service-Based Requirement and the Liquidity Event Requirement are satisfied with respect to that particular RSU (the “Vesting Date”). All RSUs that do not become Vested RSUs on or before the applicable Expiration Date will be immediately forfeited to the Company upon expiration at no cost to the Company.
Service-Based
Requirement:  The Service-Based Requirement will be satisfied as to [Standard Grants: 25% of the RSUs on the First Vest Date, and 6.25% of the RSUs on each Quarterly Date thereafter (in each case rounding down to the nearest whole RSU), subject to Participant’s Continuous Service through each such date.] For the avoidance of doubt, upon termination of Participant’s Continuous Service, any RSUs that have yet to satisfy the Service-Based Requirement will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and Participant will have no further right, title or interest in or to such RSUs or the shares of Common Stock underlying them. However, Participant will retain any RSUs that have met the Service-Based Requirement as of the date that Participant’s Continuous Service ends until such RSUs either vest or expire.
Quarterly Date” means each of March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15.



Liquidity Event
Requirement:  The Liquidity Event Requirement will be satisfied as to any then-outstanding RSUs on the earliest of the following: (1) the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act for the sale of the Company’s Common Stock or (2) immediately prior to the closing of a Change in Control.
Settlement:  If an RSU vests as provided for above, the Company will issue one share of Common Stock for each Vested RSU. The shares will be issued in accordance with the issuance schedule set forth in Section 5 of the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.
Additional Terms/Acknowledgements:  Participant acknowledges receipt of, and understands and agrees to, this Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice, the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and the Plan. Participant further acknowledges that as of the Date of Grant, this Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice, the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and the Plan set forth the entire understanding between Participant and the Company regarding this Award and supersede all prior oral and written agreements, offer letters, promises and/or representations on that subject with the exception of (i) equity awards previously granted and delivered to Participant, (ii) any compensation recovery policy that is adopted by the Company or is otherwise required by applicable law and (iii) any written employment or severance arrangement that would provide for vesting acceleration of this Award upon the terms and conditions set forth therein (provided that if there is any conflict in the vesting and/or acceleration terms, those contained in this Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice and Restricted Stock Unit Agreement will control).
By accepting the Award, Participant acknowledges having received and read the Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice, the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and the Plan (the “Grant Documents”) and agrees to all of the terms and conditions set forth in these documents. Furthermore, by accepting the Award, Participant consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
Notwithstanding the above, if Participant has not actively accepted the Award within 90 days of the Date of Grant set forth in this Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice, Participant is deemed to have accepted the Award, subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Grant Documents.

ATTACHMENT I
SNOWFLAKE INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(AMENDED AND RESTATED 2012 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN)
Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), Snowflake Inc. (the “Company”) has granted to you a Restricted Stock Unit Award for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“RSUs”) indicated in the Grant Notice (the “Award”) under its Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Award is granted to you effective as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice for this Award. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement will have the same meanings given to them in the Plan and Grant Notice. The terms and conditions of the Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows.
1. NATURE OF THE AWARD.  The Award represents the right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as indicated in the Grant Notice upon the satisfaction of the terms set forth in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, you will not be required to make any payment to the Company with respect to your receipt of the Award, the vesting of the RSUs or the issuance of the underlying shares of Common Stock.
2. VESTING.  Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Award will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule provided in the Grant Notice. Upon termination of your Continuous Service, any RSUs that have yet to satisfy any time and service-based requirement, including the Service-Based Requirement, will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right, title or interest in or to such RSUs or the shares of Common Stock covered thereby.
3. NUMBER OF SHARES.
(a) The number of RSUs subject to the Award may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in the Plan.
(b) Any additional RSUs, shares, cash or other property that become subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 3 if any, will be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of issuance as applicable to the other shares covered by the Award.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock will be created pursuant to this Section 3. The Board will, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional shares or fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 3.
4. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER COMPLIANCE.  You may not be issued any shares under the Award unless either (a) the shares are registered under the Securities Act; or (b) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Award also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
5. DATE OF ISSUANCE.
(a) Subject to the satisfaction of the Tax-Related Items set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement, in the event one or more RSUs vest, the Company will issue to you one (1) share of Common Stock for each RSU that vests on the applicable Vesting Date (subject to any adjustment under Section 3 above) (such date, the “Original Issuance Date”).
3


(b) If the Original Issuance Date falls on a date that is not a business day, issuance will instead occur on the next following business day. In addition, to the extent applicable at a Vesting Date when the Common Stock is registered under the Securities Act, if:
(i) the Original Issuance Date does not occur (1) during an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s then-effective policy on trading in Company securities, or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on an established stock exchange or stock market (including but not limited to under a previously established written trading plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and was entered into in compliance with the Company’s policies (a “10b5-1 Arrangement”)), and
(ii) either (1) no Tax-Related Items apply, or (2) the Company decides, prior to the Original Issuance Date, (A) not to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise due, on the Original Issuance Date, to you under this Award, and (B) not to permit you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement (including but not limited to a commitment under a 10b5-1 Arrangement) and (C) not to permit you to pay the Tax-Related Items in cash,
then the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to you on the Original Issuance Date will not be issued on such Original Issuance Date and will instead be issued on the first business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of Common Stock in the open public market, but in no event later than (a) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Original Issuance Date occurs (that is, the last day of your taxable year in which the Original Issuance Date occurs), or (b) if and only if permitted in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), no later than the date that is the 15th day of the third calendar month of the year immediately following the year in which the shares of Common Stock covered by this Award are no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(d).
(c) The form of such issuance (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares of Common Stock) will be determined by the Company. In all cases, the issuance of shares under this Award is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and will be construed and administered in such a manner.
6. DIVIDENDS.  You will receive no benefit or adjustment to your RSUs with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution except as provided in the Plan with respect to a Capitalization Adjustment.
7. LOCK-UP PERIOD.  By acquiring shares of Common Stock under your Award, you agree that you will not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by you, for a period of 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company request or as necessary to permit compliance with FINRA Rule 2241 and similar or successor regulatory rules and regulations (the “Lock-Up Period”); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 7 will prevent the exercise of a repurchase option, if any, in favor of the Company during the Lock-Up Period. You further agree to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the underwriters that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. You also agree that any transferee of any shares of Common Stock (or other securities of the Company held by you) will be bound by this Section 7. To enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to your shares of Common Stock until the end of such period. The underwriters of the Company’s stock are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 7 and will have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions of this Section 7 as though they were a party to this Agreement.
4


8. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.  Shares of Common Stock that you acquire upon vesting and settlement of your Award are subject to any restrictions on transfer and/or right of first refusal that may be described in the Company’s bylaws in effect at such time the Company elects to exercise its right. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, you will not sell, assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the shares subject to your Award or any interest in such shares, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, by gift, by entering into a contract that requires shares to be issued at a future date, or otherwise, except in compliance with this Agreement, the Company’s bylaws and applicable securities law.
9. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS.  The shares of Common Stock issued in respect of your Award will be endorsed with appropriate legends as determined by the Company.
10. AWARD NOT AN EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE CONTRACT.
(a) Subject to applicable law, your employment or other service with the Company or any Affiliate is not for any specified term and may be terminated by you or by the Company or an Affiliate at any time, for any reason, with or without cause and with or without notice.  Nothing in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of the Award pursuant to Section 2 or the issuance of the shares subject to the Award), the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement or the Plan will: (i) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan; or (iv) deprive the Company or an Affiliate of the right to terminate your employment or engagement at will (subject to applicable law) and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you may have.
(b) By accepting this Award, you acknowledge and agree that the right to continue vesting in the Award pursuant to Section 2 and the schedule set forth in the Grant Notice is earned only by continuing as an employee, director or consultant at the will of the Company or an Affiliate (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Award or any other award or benefit) and that the Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses or Affiliates at any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”).  You further acknowledge and agree that such reorganization could result in the termination of your Continuous Service, or the termination of Affiliate status of your employer and the loss of benefits available to you under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the termination of the right to continue vesting in the Award.
11. RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES.
(a) You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax (including U.S. federal, state, and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or deemed by the Company in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to you even if legally applicable to the Company (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.
(b) Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or your employer (if not the Company) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company or its agent to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items, if any, by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company or your employer; (ii) causing you to tender a cash payment; (iii) entering on your behalf (pursuant to this authorization without further consent) into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker
5


dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be issued under the Award to satisfy the Tax-Related Items and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Tax-Related Items directly to the Company and/or its Affiliates; (iv) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock are issued to you or, if and as determined by the Company, the date on which the Tax-Related Items are required to be calculated) equal to the amount of such Tax-Related Items; or (v) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts (as determined by the Company) to facilitate the satisfaction of Tax-Related Items by you using one of the methods described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence or by permitting you to sell shares of Common Stock in any initial public offering by the Company. However, the Company does not guarantee that you will be able to satisfy any Tax-Related Items through any of the methods described in the preceding sentence and in all circumstances you remain responsible for timely and fully satisfying the Tax-Related Items. Depending on the withholding method employed, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including up to the maximum applicable rate in your jurisdiction to the extent permitted under the Plan, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Common Stock. In the event any under-withholding results from the application of minimum statutory or other withholding rates, you may be required to pay additional amounts to the tax authorities. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested portion of the Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax‑Related Items.
(c) Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or your employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or your employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by any of the means previously described. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or of this Agreement, if you fail to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any Tax‑Related Items when due, you permanently will forfeit the RSUs on which the Tax-Related Items were not satisfied and will also permanently forfeit any right to receive shares of Common Stock thereunder. In that case, the RSUs will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.
12. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.  In connection with your acquisition of the Award and the Common Stock under your Award, you represent to the Company the following:
(a) You are aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Common Stock. You are acquiring the Common Stock for investment for your own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(b) You understand that the Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of your investment intent as expressed in this Agreement.
(c) You further acknowledge and understand that the Common Stock must be held indefinitely unless the Common Stock is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. You further acknowledge and understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Common Stock. You understand that the certificate evidencing the Common Stock will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits the transfer of the Common Stock unless the Common Stock is registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.
6


(d) You are familiar with the provisions of Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act, as in effect from time to time, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of issuance of the securities, such issuance will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the securities exempt under Rule 701 may be sold by you 90 days thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144 and the Lock-Up Period agreement described in Section 7.
(e) In the event that the sale of the Common Stock does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of issuance, then the Common Stock may be resold by you in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires, among other things: (i) the availability of certain public information about the Company; and (ii) the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 after you have purchased, and made full payment of (within the meaning of Rule 144), the securities to be sold.
(f) You further understand that at the time you wish to sell the Common Stock there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144 or 701, and that, in such event, you would be precluded from selling the Common Stock under Rule 144 or 701 even if the minimum holding period requirement had been satisfied.
13. NO OBLIGATION TO MINIMIZE TAXES.  You acknowledge that the Company is not making representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalent payments. Further, you acknowledge that the Company does not have any duty or obligation to minimize your liability for Tax-Related Items arising from the Award or to achieve any particular tax result and will not be liable to you for any Tax-Related Items arising in connection with the Award. If you become subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or your employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
14. NO ADVICE REGARDING GRANT.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the Tax-Related Items arising in connection with the Award and by accepting the Award, you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so.
15. UNSECURED OBLIGATION.  The Award is unfunded, and as a holder of a vested Award, you will be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares pursuant to this Agreement. You will not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement until such shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.
16. DATA PRIVACY.  In order for the Company to administer the Award and your participation in the Plan, the Company must collect, process and transfer certain of your personal data, as further described in Appendix A to this Agreement. Appendix A constitutes part of this Agreement.
7


17. NOTICES.  Any notices provided for in the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Plan will be given in writing and will be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan and this Award by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
18. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) As a condition to the grant of your Award or to the Company’s issuance of any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement, the Company may require you to execute certain customary agreements entered into with the holders of capital stock of the Company, including without limitation, a right of first refusal and co-sale agreement and a stockholders agreement.
(b) The rights and obligations of the Company under the Award will be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Company’s successors and assigns.

(e) This Agreement will be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
(f) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
(g) The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in this Agreement, on the RSUs and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
19. GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT.  The Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of the Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. Except as expressly provided herein, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Award and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will control.
20. SEVERABILITY.  If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity will not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid will, if possible, be
8


construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
21. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE.  The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by the law of the state of Delaware without regard to such state’s conflict of laws rules.

22. EFFECT ON OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.  The value of the Award subject to this Agreement will not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating your benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Affiliate, except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s employee benefit plans.
23. AMENDMENT.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by you and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended solely by the Board by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, and provided that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, no such amendment adversely affecting your rights hereunder may be made without your written consent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change will be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.
24. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE.  This Award is intended to comply with the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

Each installment of shares that vests is intended to constitute a “separate payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice, or of this Agreement, under no circumstances will the Company reimburse you for any taxes or other costs under Section 409A or any other tax law or rule. All such taxes and costs are solely your responsibility.
25. COUNTRY-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS.  The RSUs will be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the disclosure set forth for your country in Appendix B to this Agreement. Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included in Appendix B, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.

In order for you to participate in the Plan, the Company will collect Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
If you are based in the EEA+, the Company’s legal basis for the processing of Personal Data is the necessity of the processing for the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement and the Company’s legitimate interest of complying with statutory obligations to which it is subject.
If you are based in any other jurisdiction, the Company relies on your consent to the processing of Personal Data, as further described below.
(b) Stock Plan Administration and Service Provides.  The Company may transfer Personal Data to Cooley LLP, Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC, and/or Solium Plan Managers LLC (each, an “administrator”), each of which is an independent service provider based in the U.S., which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Administrators may open an account for you to receive and, when applicable, trade shares of Common Stock. You may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with any administrator, with such acknowledgement or agreement being a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers.  Personal Data will be transferred from your country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based. You understand and acknowledge that the U.S. has enacted data privacy laws that are different from those applicable in your country of residence. The EU Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the U.S. that applies if and to the extent companies self-certify and remain self‑certified under the EU/U.S. Privacy Shield program. In the absence of such certification, an appropriate level of protection can be achieved by implementing safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission.
11


If you are based in the EEA+, Personal Data will be transferred from the EEA+ to the Company based on the Company’s certification under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program. The onward transfer of your Personal Data by the Company to the administrators will be based on other safeguards such as a data processing agreement or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. You may request a copy of such appropriate safeguards at privacy@snowflake.com.
If you are based in any other jurisdiction, the Company relies on your consent to the transfer of Personal Data to the U.S., as further described below.
(d) Data Retention.  The Company will use Personal Data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including, without limitation, under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data for any of the above purposes, which will generally be seven (7) years after you participate in the Plan, the Company will cease to use Personal Data and remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps Personal Data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations (if you are in the EEA+) and/or your consent (if you are outside the EEA+).
(e) Data Subject Rights.  You understand that you may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your jurisdiction. Subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law and depending on where you are based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to, or copies of, Personal Data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) deletion of Personal Data, (iv) restrictions on the processing of Personal Data, (v) object to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, (vi) portability of Personal Data, (vii) lodge complaints with competent authorities in my jurisdiction, and/or to (viii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, you can contact privacy@snowflake.com.
(f) Necessary Disclosure of Personal Data.  You understand that providing the Company with Personal Data is necessary for the performance of the Agreement and that your refusal to provide Personal Data or, where applicable, consent to process and transfer Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.
(g) Data Privacy Consent.  If you are located in a jurisdiction outside the EEA+, you hereby unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Personal Data, as described above and in any other Award materials, by and among, as applicable, the Company, your employer and any Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing privacy@snowflake.com. If you do not consent or later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with your employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the RSUs or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you should contact privacy@snowflake.com.

You hereby authorize the Company or any Affiliate, including the employer, and any agents or representatives to (i) discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan, and (ii) disclose and discuss any and all information relevant to the Plan with their advisors. You further authorize the Company or any Affiliate, including the employer, and any agents or representatives to record such information and to keep such information in your employee file.
SECURITIES LAW INFORMATION.  The sale or other disposal of the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan may not take place within Canada. If the Common Stock is registered under the Securities Act, you will be permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, provided the resale of shares of Common Stock takes place outside Canada through the facilities of the exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed.

The RSUs must be reported--generally at a nil cost--if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property held. If shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB ordinarily would equal the fair market value of the shares at the time of acquisition, but if other shares of Common Stock are owned, this ACB may need to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year. You should consult your personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with the applicable reporting requirements.
The following provisions apply only if you reside in Quebec:

NEW ZEALAND
SECURITIES LAW INFORMATION.  WARNING: You are being offered RSUs which, upon vesting in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Plan, will enable you to acquire shares of Company Stock.

If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares (if any) have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment, if any.
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 a small offer. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
You should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.

Further, if you transfer funds in excess of EUR 15,000 into or out of Poland, the funds must be transferred via a bank account.

SPAIN
NATURE OF GRANT.  This provision supplements the Nature of Grant provision of this Appendix:
By accepting the Award, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan.
You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or one of its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is limited and entered into based upon the express assumption and condition that any Award will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any Affiliate, including your employer, on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the Award is given on the assumption and condition that the Award shall not become part of any employment or other service contract (whether with the Company or any Affiliate, including your employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Furthermore, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from the Award, which
19


is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the Award and the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable, and unpredictable.
Further, your participation in the Plan is expressly conditioned on your continued and active rendering of service, such that, unless otherwise set forth in the Plan, if your Continuous Service terminates for any reason, your participation in the Plan will cease immediately. This will be the case, for example, even if (a) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”); (b) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (c) your Continuous Service ceases due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (d) your Continuous Service ceases due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or any of its Affiliates; or (e) your Continuous Service terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of your Continuous Service for any of the above reasons, you automatically lose any right to participate in the Plan on the date of your termination of Continuous Service, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.
SECURITIES LAW INFORMATION.  The grant of the RSUs and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs are considered a private placement outside the scope of Spanish laws on public offerings and issuances of securities. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement have been registered with the Comisión National del Mercado de Valores and do not constitute a public offering prospectus.
EXCHANGE CONTROL INFORMATION.  The acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares must be declared for statistical purposes to the Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”), which is a department of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. If you acquire shares through the use of a Spanish financial institution, that institution will automatically make the declaration to the DGCI for the you; otherwise, you will be required make the declaration by filing the appropriate form with the DGCI. Generally, the declaration must be made in January for shares owned as of December 31 of) the prior year; however, if the value of shares acquired or sold exceeds certain thresholds, the declaration must be filed within one (1) month of the acquisition or sale, as applicable.
Further, you are required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including shares acquired under the Plan), and any transactions with non-Spanish residents (including any payments of cash or shares made to the Grantee under the Plan) depending on the balances in such accounts together with the value of such instruments as of December 31 of the relevant year, or the volume of transactions with non-Spanish residents during the relevant year.
You should consult your personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting requirements.
FOREIGN ASSET/ACCOUNT REPORTING INFORMATION.  To the extent you hold rights or assets outside of Spain with a value in excess of EUR 50,000 per type of right or asset (e.g., shares, cash, etc.) as of December 31 each year, you will be required to report information on such rights and assets on your annual tax return for such year. After such rights and assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will apply for subsequent years only if the value of any previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than EUR 20,000. You should consult your personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting requirements.
SWEDEN
AUTHORIZATION TO WITHHOLD.  The following provision supplements Section 11 (“Responsibility for Taxes”) of the Agreement:

to you upon vesting/settlement to satisfy Tax-Related Items, regardless of whether the Company and/or your employer have an obligation to withhold such Tax-Related Items.

The Section 431 Election will be to treat the shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs as if such shares were not restricted securities (for U.K. tax purposes only). You further agree to execute the Section 431 Election in hard copy even if you have executed the Section 431 Election by virtue of accepting the Agreement through the Company’s online acceptance procedures.
(d) As a condition of the vesting of, or the receipt of any benefit pursuant to, the RSUs, you agree to sign, promptly, all documents required by the Company to effect the terms of the foregoing provisions.

SECTION 431 ELECTION
SNOWFLAKE INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(AMENDED AND RESTATED 2012 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN)
JOINT ELECTION UNDER S431 ITEPA 2003
FOR FULL DISAPPLICATION OF CHAPTER 2 INCOME TAX (EARNINGS AND PENSIONS) ACT 2003
(UK EMPLOYEES)
1. Two Part Election
Between
the Employee
who has obtained authorized access to the joint election
and
the Company (who is the Employee’s employer) Snowflake Computing U.K. Limited
of Company Registration Number 10611715
2. Purpose of Election
This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA”) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.
The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the purposes of income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”), the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. Additional income tax will be payable as a result of this election (with PAYE withholding and NICs being applicable where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).
Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that income tax/NICs that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the income tax/NICs due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no income tax/NICs relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner.
3. Application
This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the employee and applies to:
Number of securities All securities
Description of securities Shares of common stock
Name of issuer of securities Snowflake Inc.
To be acquired by the Employee on or after the date of this Election under the terms of the Snowflake, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.
27


4. Extent of Application
This election disapplies S.431(1) ITEPA: All restrictions attaching to the securities.
5. Declaration
This election will become irrevocable upon the later of its electronic acceptance or the acquisition (and each subsequent acquisition) of employment-related securities to which this election applies.
By accepting the RSUs (by signing the related Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) in hard copy or by electronically accepting such Grant Notice), you hereby agree (inter alia) to be bound by the terms of this Section 431 Election as set out herein.
Note: Where the election is in respect of multiple acquisitions, prior to the date of any subsequent acquisition of a security it may be revoked by agreement between the employee and employer in respect of that and any later acquisition.
