Non-Qualified Stock Option
    THIS GRANT AGREEMENT, as of the Grant Date noted above between HP Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and the employee named above (“Employee”), is entered into as follows:


    WHEREAS, the continued participation of the Employee is considered by the Company to be important for the Company's continued growth; and


WHEREAS, in order to give the Employee an incentive to continue in the employ of the Company (or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries), to accept ancillary agreements designed to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company that are made a condition of this grant and to participate in the affairs of the Company, the HR and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegates (“Committee”) has determined that the Employee shall be granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase the number of shares stated above of its $0.01 par value voting Common Stock (“Shares”) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan named above, a copy of which can be found on the Long-term Incentives website along with a copy of the related prospectus.  The Plan and the related prospectus can also be obtained by written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary. Unless otherwise defined in this Grant Agreement, any capitalized terms in this Grant Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.


THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1.Grant of Stock Options. 
This non-qualified Stock Option is granted under and pursuant to the Plan and is subject to each and all of the provisions thereof.
2.Grant Price.
The Grant Price is the price per Share set forth above.            
3.Restrictions on Transfer.
This Stock Option is not transferable by the Employee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable only by the Employee during his or her lifetime.  This Stock Option may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Employee during his or her lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and is not subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
4.Vesting Schedule.
This Stock Option will vest and become exercisable according to the vesting schedule set forth above except as otherwise provided in this Grant Agreement and except to the extent a severance plan applicable to the Employee provides otherwise, subject to the Employee’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Grant Agreement.
5.Expiration Date.
This Stock Option will expire on the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date set forth above ("Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated or canceled in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and this Grant Agreement.  The Employee must exercise this Stock Option, if at all, on a day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on or before the Expiration Date.  The Employee shall be solely responsible for exercising this Stock Option, if at all, prior to its Expiration Date.  The Company shall have no obligation to notify the Employee of this Stock Option’s expiration.
1






6.Method of Exercise.
This Stock Option, to the extent it is then vested and exercisable, may be exercised through a broker designated by the Company or by any other method the Committee has approved; provided, however, that no such exercise shall be with respect to fewer than twenty-five (25) Shares or the remaining Shares covered by the Stock Option if less than twenty-five.  The exercise must be accompanied by the payment of the full Grant Price of such Shares and any Tax-Related Items withholding.  Payment may be in cash or Shares or a combination thereof to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, or through a broker-assisted cashless exercise; provided, however, that any payment in Shares shall be in strict compliance with all procedural rules established by the Committee.
7.Termination of Employment.
Except as otherwise provided for in this Grant Agreement or in the Plan or as otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion, all unvested Shares shall be forfeited by the Employee as of the date of termination and he or she may exercise the Stock Option, to the extent that it is then vested, within three months after the date of the Employee’s termination (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), except to the extent a severance plan applicable to the Employee provides otherwise.


For purposes of this Grant Agreement, the Employee's employment or service will be considered terminated as of the date he or she is no longer actively providing services to the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate (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 the Employee is employed or retained or the terms of the Employee's employment or service agreement, if any) and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Employee's period of employment or service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under the employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Employee is employed or retained or the terms of the Employee's employment or service agreement, if any).  The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee's employment or service is terminated for purposes of this Grant Agreement (including whether the Employee may still be considered to be providing service while on a leave of absence).
8.Death of Employee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 of this Grant Agreement, in the event of the Employee's death this Stock Option shall vest in full and the Employee’s legal representative or designated beneficiary shall have the right to exercise all or a portion of the Employee's rights under this Grant Agreement within one year after the death of the Employee, and shall be bound by the provisions of the Plan.  In all cases, however, this Stock Option will expire no later than the Expiration Date.
9.Disability of the Employee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 of this Grant Agreement, in the event of the Employee’s termination due to permanent and total disability, this Stock Option shall vest in full and the Employee may exercise his or her rights under this Grant Agreement within three years from the date of termination. In all cases, however, this Stock Option will expire no later than the Expiration Date. The Company’s obligation to vest the Stock Option under this paragraph is subject to the condition that (i) the Employee shall have executed a current Agreement Regarding Confidential Information and Proprietary Developments (“ARCIPD”) that is satisfactory to the Company no later than the date immediately prior to the date of the Employee’s termination of employment, (ii) the Employee has not engaged in any conduct that creates a conflict of interest in the opinion of the Company during the Employee’s active employment with the Company and any-post employment period during which the Stock Option remains outstanding and (iii) the Employee is in compliance with any-post employment restrictions in the ARCIPD during the period in which the Stock Option remains outstanding.


10.Termination for Cause.
Upon termination of the Employee’s employment for Cause (as defined in the Plan), then, except as provided in Section 17(a), all unvested Shares shall be forfeited by the Employee and he or she may exercise the Stock Option, to the extent that it is then vested, before the New York Stock Exchange closes on the date of the Employee’s termination, except to the extent a severance plan applicable to the Employee provides otherwise.  Such forfeiture shall occur regardless of whether the Employee has satisfied any applicable age and service requirements for retirement.


11.Taxes.
(a)  The Employee shall be liable for any and all taxes, including income tax, social insurance, fringe benefit tax, payroll tax, payment on account, employer taxes, or other tax-related items related to the Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to or otherwise recoverable from the Employee by the Company and/or, if different, the Employee’s employer (the “Employer”) whether incurred at grant, vesting, exercise, sale, prior to vesting or at any other time (“Tax-Related Items”).  In the event that the Company or the Employer (which, for purposes of this Section 11, shall include a form employer) is required, allowed or permitted to withhold taxes as a result of the grant, vesting or exercise of the Stock Options, or subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such Stock Options, the Employee shall make a cash payment or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to withhold such taxes from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Employee by the Company and/or the Employer at the election of the Company, in its sole discretion, or, if permissible under Applicable Law, the Company may sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that Employee acquires as necessary to cover all applicable required withholding Tax-Related Items that are legally recoverable from the Employee at the time of the tax withholding event, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, has established alternative procedures for such payment.  To the extent that any surrender of Shares or payment of cash or alternative procedure for such payment is insufficient, the Employee authorizes the Company, its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, which are qualified to deduct tax at source, to deduct from the Employee’s compensation all Tax-Related Items.  The Employee agrees to pay any Tax-Related Items that cannot be satisfied from wages or other cash compensation, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. 


(b)Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all Tax-Related Items, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Employee further acknowledges that the 
2






Company and/or the Employer: (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Stock Options, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, exercise or settlement of the Stock Options, the subsequent issuance of Shares and/or cash upon settlement of such Stock Options or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to such Stock Options and receipt of any dividends; and (ii)  do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Stock Options to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or to achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.  


(c)Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Employee’s jurisdiction(s), in which case the Employee will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the exercised Stock Options, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.


(d)The Employee shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan or the Employee’s receipt, vesting or exercise of Stock Options or subsequent sale of the Shares acquired on exercise, or at any other time, that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to deliver the benefit described herein if the Employee fails to comply with the Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 


(e)In accepting the Stock Option, the Employee consents and agrees that in the event the Stock Option becomes subject to an Employer tax that is legally permitted to be recovered from the Employee, as may be determined by the Company and/or the Employer at their sole discretion, and whether or not the Employee’s employment with the Company and/or the Employer is continuing at the time such tax becomes recoverable, the Employee will assume any liability for any such taxes that may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Stock Option.  Further, by accepting the Stock Option, the Employee agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect any such taxes from the Employee by any of the means set forth in this Section 11.  The Employee further agrees to execute any other consents or elections required to accomplish the above promptly upon request of the Company.
12.Acknowledgement and Waiver.
By accepting this Stock Option, the Employee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: 
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;


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


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


(d)the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment relationship at any time and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party, insofar as permitted by Applicable Law; 
  
(e)the Employee is participating voluntarily in the Plan; 


(f)Stock Options and their resulting benefits are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;


(g)Stock Options and their resulting benefits are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by Applicable Law and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; 


(h)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Stock Options and the Shares subject to the Stock Options, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Employee may provide as a director of any Subsidiary or Affiliate; 


(i)this grant of Stock Options will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, and furthermore, this Stock Option will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; 


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


(k)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Stock Options resulting from termination of Employee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the grant of the Stock Options to which the Employee is otherwise not entitled, the Employee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer and releases the Company and the 
3






Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and to have agreed to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; 


(l)notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to exercise or otherwise to receive benefits under this Grant Agreement after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of Employee’s active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Stock Options; 


(m)neither the Company, the Employer, nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate will be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Employee’s local currency and the United States dollar that may affect the value of the Stock Options or any amounts due to the Employee pursuant to the settlement of the Stock Options or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement; and


(n)if the Company determines that the Employee has engaged in misconduct prohibited by Applicable Law or any applicable policy of the Company, as in effect from time to time, or the Company is required to make recovery from the Employee under Applicable Law or a Company policy adopted to comply with applicable legal requirements, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, to the extent it determines appropriate and to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, (a) recover from the Employee the proceeds from Stock Options exercised up to three years prior to the Employee’s termination of employment or any time thereafter, (b) cancel the Employee’s outstanding Stock Options whether or not vested, and (c) take any other action required or permitted by Applicable Law.


13.Data Privacy Consent.


(a)The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Employee’s personal data as described in this Grant Agreement and any other materials by and among, as applicable, the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and the Employer for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan. 


(b)The Employee understands that the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Employee, including, but not limited to, name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, residency, status, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all restricted stock units, Stock Options or any other entitlement to shares of stock granted, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor (“Data”) for the exclusive purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan. 


(c)The Employee understands that Data may be transferred to Merrill Lynch and any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Employee’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Employee’s country.  The Company is committed to protecting the privacy of Data in such cases.  The Employee understands that by contract both with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and with Merrill Lynch and/or the Company’s other vendors, the people and companies that have access to the Employee’s Data are bound to handle such Data in a manner consistent with the Company’s privacy policy and law.  The Company periodically performs due diligence and audits on its vendors in accordance with good commercial practices to ensure their capabilities and compliance with those commitments.  The Employee further understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’s participation in the Plan.  


(d)The Employee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, the Employee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative.  Further, the Employee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If the Employee does not consent, or if the Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Employee's employment status or service with the Company or his or her Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Employee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Employee Stock Units or other equity awards or administer and manage the Employee’s participation in the Plan.  Therefore, the Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of the Employee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Employee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.


(e)Further, the Employee understands that the Company may rely on a different legal basis for the processing and/or transfer of Data in the future and/or request that the Employee provide another data privacy consent. If applicable and upon request of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, the Employee agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent or acknowledgement (or any other consents, acknowledgements or agreements) to the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate that the Company and/or a Subsidiary or Affiliate may deem necessary to obtain under the data privacy laws in the Employee’s country of employment, either now or in the future. The Employee understands that he or she may be unable to participate in the Plan if he or she fails to execute any such acknowledgement, agreement or consent requested by the Company and/or a Subsidiary or Affiliate.

By electronically accepting Stock Units on the Merrill Lynch website, the Employee is declaring that the Employee agrees with the data processing practices described in this Section 12 and that the Employee consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned therein for the purposes described therein.


14.No Advice Regarding Grant.
The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan, or the Employee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  The Employee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.


15.Plan Information.
The Employee agrees to receive copies of the Plan, the Plan prospectus and other Plan information, including information prepared to comply with laws outside the United States, from the Long-term Incentives website and stockholder information, including copies of any annual report, proxy and Form 10-K, from the investor relations section of the Company's website.  The Employee acknowledges that copies of the Plan, Plan prospectus, Plan information and stockholder information are available upon written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary.  The Employee hereby consents to receive any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.


16.Additional Eligibility Requirements Permitted.
In addition to any other eligibility criteria provided for in the Plan, the Company may require that the Employee execute a separate document agreeing to the terms of a current arbitration agreement and/or a current ARCIPD, each in a form acceptable to the Company and/or that the Employee be in compliance with the ARCIPD throughout the entire exercise period. If such separate documents are required by the Company and the Employee does not accept them within 75 days of the Grant Date set forth above or such other date as of which the Company shall require in its discretion, this Stock Option shall be canceled and the Employee shall have no further rights under this Grant Agreement.


17.Miscellaneous.
(a)The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Grant Agreement, including the Appendix, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than the terms of any severance plan applicable to the Employee that provides more favorable vesting or extended post-termination exercise periods, and may not be modified adversely to the Employee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Employee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Plan or this Grant Agreement shall affect the validity or interpretation of any duly authorized written agreement between the Company and the Employee under which an award properly granted under and pursuant to the Plan serves as any part of the consideration furnished to the Employee.  This Grant Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Delaware without regard to its conflict of law provisions.


(b)If the Employee has received this or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.


(c)The provisions of this Grant Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.


(d)Notwithstanding Section 17(c), the Company’s obligations under this Grant Agreement and the Employee’s agreement to the terms of an arbitration agreement and/or an ARCIPD, if any, are mutually dependent.  In the event that the Employee breaches the arbitration agreement or the Employee’s ARCIPD is breached or found not to be binding upon the Employee for any reason by a court of law, then the Company will have no further obligation or duty to perform under the Plan or this Grant Agreement.


(e)The Employee acknowledges that, depending on the Employee or broker’s country of residence or where the Company Shares are listed, the Employee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Employee's ability to acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares or rights to Shares during times the Employee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the Employee’s country).  Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Employee placed before he or she possessed inside information.  Furthermore, the Employee cold be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities.  Keep in mind that third parties include fellow employees.  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.  The Employee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and that the Employee should to consult his or her personal advisor on this matter.

5






comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

APPENDIX


HP INC. 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED


GRANT AGREEMENT FOR NON-U.S. EMPLOYEES


This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Stock Option if the Employee resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein.  If the Employee is a citizen or resident (or are considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Employee is currently residing and/or working, or if the Employee transfers to another country after receiving the Stock Option, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the special terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Employee. This Appendix is part of the Grant Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Grant Agreement or the Plan.


This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control, tax and certain other issues of which the Employee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control, tax and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of November 2020.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Employee not rely on the information contained herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Employee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Employee exercises this Stock Option or sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.  In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Employee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Employee of any particular result.  Therefore, the Employee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Employee’s country may apply to the Employee’s individual situation.


If the Employee is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local tax purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Employee is currently residing and/or working, or if the Employee transfers to another country after the grant of this Stock Option, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Employee in the same manner.


European Union (“EU”) / European Economic Area (“EEA”) / United Kingdom


Data Privacy.  If the Employee resides or is employed in the EU, EEA, or United Kingdom the following provision replaces Section 13 of the Grant Agreement. 


The Company is located at 1501 Page Mill, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA and grants Stock Options under the Plan to the Employee at the Company’s sole discretion. The Employee should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices. 


Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Employee is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes uses, and transfers certain personally-identifiable information about the Employee for the legitimate interest of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including the Employee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Stock Options or any other awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Employee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Employee or the Employer.  In granting the Employee Stock Options under the Plan, the Company will collect the Employee’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  The Company’s collection, processing, use and transfer of the Employee’s personal data is necessary for the performance of the Company’s contractual obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing and generally administering employee equity awards. The Employee’s refusal to provide personal data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, the Employee voluntarily acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of the Employee’s personal data as described herein. 


Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Employee’s data to Merrill Lynch, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Employee’s data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for the Employee to receive and trade Shares. The Employee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. 


International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to the Employee if the Employee’s personal data is transferred to the United States.  The performance of the Company’s contractual obligations to the Employee is one of the legal bases for the transfer of the Employee’s data from the EU/EEA/United Kingdom to the United States.  The Employee should be aware that the United States has different data privacy laws and protections than the data privacy laws in place in the EU/EEA/United Kingdom. 


Data Retention. The Company will use the Employee’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws.  When the Company no longer needs the Employee’s personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems.  If the Company keeps the Employee’s data longer, it will be to satisfy legal, regulatory or tax obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.


Data Subjects Rights. The Employee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Employee’s country of employment (and country of residence, if different). For example, the Employee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal 
7







data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Employee’s country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data.  To receive clarification regarding the Employee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Employee should contact the Employee’s local HR manager or global.equity@hp.com.

Terms and Conditions


Method of Exercise / Taxes
The following provision supplements Sections 6 and 11 of the Grant Agreement:


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Grant Agreement or the Plan, the Stock Options may be exercised only by a “cashless exercise” method by which the Company’s designated broker, upon receipt of the Employee’s written exercise request, shall pay the Company the Grant Price for the total number of Shares to be exercised and sell all such Shares at the then current trading price.

Terms and Conditions


Israeli Sub-Plan
The Stock Options are granted to the Employee pursuant to the Israeli Sub-Plan to the HP Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Israeli Sub-Plan”), and are subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Israeli Sub-Plan, the Plan and the Grant Agreement, including this Appendix. By accepting the Stock Options, the Employee acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Israeli Sub-Plan.  The Israeli Sub-Plan is incorporated herein by reference and references to the Plan include the Israeli Sub-Plan.


The Stock Options and Shares received upon exercise of such Stock Options are intended to qualify for the tax treatment available in Israel pursuant to the provisions of the “capital gain route” under Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance ("Section 102"), including the provisions of the Income Tax (Tax Abatement on the Grant of Shares to Employees) Regulations 2003 (the “Regulations”) and any tax ruling or agreement obtained by the Company or the Employer with regard to the Plan.


The following provision replaces Section 6 of the Grant Agreement:


6.    This Stock Option may be exercised by following the procedures provided by the Trustee for the exercise of the Stock Option and delivering to the Trustee at its head office a written notice stating the number of Shares as to which the Stock Option is exercised; provided, however, that no such exercise shall be with respect to fewer than 25 Shares or the remaining Shares covered by the Stock Option if less than 25.  The written notice must be accompanied by the payment of the full Grant Price of such Shares.  Payment may be in cash or Shares or a combination thereof to the extent permissible under Applicable Law; provided, however, that any payment in Shares shall be in strict compliance with all procedural rules established by the Committee and subject to the provisions of Section 102.  Shares purchased through the exercise of the Stock Option will be issued directly to the Trustee and will be held by the Trustee on behalf of the Employee during the Required Holding Period. Subject to the conclusion of the Required Holding Period and any further period included herein, Shares purchased through the exercise of the Stock Option will be held by the Trustee until the earlier of (i) the receipt by the Trustee of an acknowledgment from the Israeli Income Tax Authority that the Employee has paid all applicable tax due pursuant to the Israeli Tax Ordinance and Section 102, or (ii) the Trustee withholds any applicable tax due pursuant to the Israeli Tax Ordinance and Section 102.


The following provisions replace Section 10(b) of the Grant Agreement:


10(b)  Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all Tax-Related Items, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer: (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Stock Options, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of Stock Options, the subsequent issuance of Shares or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to such Stock Options and receipt of any dividends; and (ii)  do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Stock Options to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or to achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.  The Employee shall pay the Trustee and/or the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Trustee and/or the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a 
17






result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan or the Employee’s receipt of Stock Options that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to deliver the benefit described herein if the Employee fails to comply with the Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 


The following provision is added as a new Section 18 of the Grant Agreement:
17.    This Stock Option is subject to the trust (“Trust”) established by the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) with Tamir Fishman (the “Trustee”). It is hereby clarified, that the Company may at its sole discretion replace the Trustee from time to time and instruct the transfer of all Stock Options and Shares held by such Trustee at such time to its successor and the provisions of this Grant Agreement and the Trust Agreement shall apply to the new Trustee mutatis mutandis. Under the conditions of Section 102(b)(2), the Stock Option shall be exercised through the Trustee.  To receive the tax treatment provided for in Section 102(b)(2), the Stock Option and any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of such Stock Option must be subject to the Trust for a period of not less than twenty-four (24) months from their Grant Date and deposit with the Trustee (the “Required Holding Period”). In order for the tax benefits of Section 102(b)(2) to apply, as long as the Stock Option is held subject to the Trust and/or the Shares purchased pursuant to the Stock Option is held by the Trustee, neither the Stock Option nor the Shares purchased pursuant to the Stock Option, as the case may be, may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or mortgaged (other than through a transfer by will or by operation of law), nor may such awards be the subject of an attachment or security interest, and no power of attorney or transfer deed shall be given in respect thereof prior to the payment of the tax liability.  Upon the conclusion of the Required Holding Period and subject to any further period included herein, the Trustee may release Shares purchased through the exercise of the Stock Option to the Employee only after (i) the receipt by the Trustee of an acknowledgment from the Israeli Income Tax Authority that the Employee has paid all applicable tax due pursuant to the Israeli Tax Ordinance and Section 102, or (ii) the Trustee withholds any applicable tax due pursuant to the Israeli Tax Ordinance and Section 102.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Employee shall elect to release the Stock Option and/or any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of such Stock Option prior to the conclusion of the Required Holding Period, the sanctions under Section 102 shall apply to and shall be borne solely by the Employee.


The following provisions are added as new Sections 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23of the Grant Agreement:
19.    The Employee understands that in the event of a distribution of rights, including an issuance of stock dividend or bonus shares, in connection with the Stock Option and/or the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of such Stock Option (the “Additional Rights”), all such Additional Rights shall be deposited with and/or issued to the Trustee for the benefit of the Employee, and shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 102(b)(2). The Required Holding Period for such Additional Rights shall be measured from the commencement of the Required Holding Period of the Stock Option, from which the Additional Rights were declared or distributed. 
20.    The Employee hereby represents, confirms and acknowledges: (i)     the Trustee shall not be liable for any action or omission taken on its part in connection with the Plan, the Sub-Plan for Israel, this Grant Agreement and the Trust Agreement, provided that the Trustee acted reasonably and in good faith; (ii) the Employee shall be liable to indemnify the Trustee with respect to any loss, damage or expense caused to the Trustee as a result of or in consequence of performance of its duties as a Trustee, unless arising out of the Trustee’s own fraud or bad faith; and (iii) the Employee shall comply with the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement.
21.    The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Grant Agreement; or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
22.    The receipt of the Stock Option, the purchase of the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Option and the disposition of such Shares may result in tax consequences. THE EMPLOYEE IS ADVISED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF RECEIVING OR EXERCISING THE STOCK OPTION AND DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. 
23.    The Employee understands that the tax benefit under Section 102(b)(2) is conditioned upon the receipt of all required approvals from the Israeli Tax Authorities. Accordingly, to the extent that for whatever reason the Israeli Tax Authorities shall not grant an approval to the Company and/or the Employer (if applicable) or shall withdraw the approval, then the tax benefits of Section 102(b)(2) will no longer apply, the Stock Option shall be treated as an Israeli Other Section 102 Option (as such term is defined in the Sub-Plan for Israel) and the Employee shall bear and pay any and all taxes and other levies and payments applicable to the grant, exercise, sale or other disposition of the Stock Option, the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of such Stock Option and/or the Additional Rights.

Terms and Conditions


The following provisions supplement Section 12 in the Grant Agreement:


Labor Law Acknowledgment
By accepting the Stock Options, the Employee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: (i) the Stock Options are not related to the salary and other contractual benefits granted to the Employee by the Employer; and (ii) any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of employment.


Policy Statement
The invitation the Company is making under the Plan is unilateral and discretionary and, therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend it and discontinue it at any time without any liability to the Employee.


22






The Company, with its registered office at 1501 Page Mill, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA, is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and participation in the Plan.  The acquisition of Shares does not, in any way, establish an employment relationship between the Employee and the Company since the Employee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the sole employer is the Employer nor does it establish any rights between the Employee and Employer.


Plan Document Acknowledgment
By accepting the Stock Options, the Employee acknowledges he or she has received a copy of the Plan, have reviewed the Plan and the Grant Agreement in their entirety and fully understand and accept all provisions of the Plan and the Grant Agreement. 


In addition, by signing below, the Employee further acknowledges having read and specifically and expressly approved the terms and conditions in Section 12 of the Grant Agreement, in which the following is clearly described and established: (i) participation in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right; (ii) the Plan and participation in the Plan is offered by the Company on a wholly discretionary basis; (iii) participation in the Plan is voluntary; and (iv) the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates are not responsible for any decrease in the value of the Shares underlying the Stock Options.


Finally, the Employee does not reserve any action or right to bring any claim against the Company for any compensation or damages as a result of participation in the Plan and the Employee therefore grants a full and broad release to his/her Employer and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates with respect to any claim that may arise under the Plan.

Declaración de Política
La invitación por parte de la Compañía bajo el Plan, es unilateral y discrecional; por lo tanto, la Compañía se reserva el derecho
absoluto de modificar el mismo y discontinuarlo en cualquier tiempo, sin ninguna responsabilidad para el Empleado.


La Compañía, con oficinas registradas ubicadas en 1501 Page Mill, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA es la única responsible por la administración del Plan y de la participación en el mismo y la adquisición de Acciones Comunes no establece de forma alguna, una relación de trabajo entre el Empleado y la Compañía, ya que la participación del Empleado en el Plan es completamente comercial y el único empleador es el Empleador, así como tampoco establece ningún derecho entre el Empleado y su Empleador.


Reconocimiento del Documento del Plan
Por medio de la aceptación las Opciones, el Empleado reconoce que ha recibido una copia del Plan, que el mismo ha sido revisado al igual que la totalidad del Acuerdo de Otorgamiento y, que ha entendido y aceptado completamente todas las disposiciones contenidas en el Plan y en el Acuerdo de Otorgamiento.


Adicionalmente, al firmar abajo, el Empleado reconoce que ha leído, y que aprueba específica y expresamente los términos y condiciones contenidos en la Sección 12 del Acuerdo de Otorgamiento, en la cual se encuentra claramente descrito y establecido que: (i) la participación en el Plan no constituye un derecho adquirido; (ii) el Plan y la participación en el mismo es ofrecida por la Compañía de forma enteramente discrecional; (iii) la participación en el Plan es voluntaria; y (iv) la Compañía, así como sus Subsidiarias y Afiliadas no son responsables por cualquier detrimento en el valor de las Acciones Comunes en relación con las Opciones.


Finalmente, el Empleado declara que no se reserva ninguna acción o derecho para interponer una demanda en contra de la Compañía por compensación, daño o perjuicio alguno como resultado de su participación en el Plan y en consecuencia, otorga el más amplio finiquito a su Empleador, así como a la Compañía, a sus Subsidiarias y Afiliadas con respecto a cualquier demanda que pudiera originarse en virtud del Plan.

If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Employee will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid.  The Employee may lose some or all of his or her investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. 


The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, the Employee may not be given all the information usually required. The Employee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. 


Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.

Absent any requirement under local law, the issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia; hence, the securities described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for offering or public circulation in Russia.  


Exchange Control Notice
The Employee is required to repatriate certain cash amounts you receive with respect to the Stock Options, including proceeds from the sale of Shares that may be issued to the Employee pursuant to the Stock Options, from the Employee’s U.S. brokerage account to Russia as soon as the Employee intends to use those cash amounts for any purpose, including reinvestment. Such funds must initially be credited to the Employee through a foreign currency account at an authorized bank in Russia. After the funds are initially received in Russia, they may be further remitted to foreign banks in accordance with Russian exchange control laws.


Under the Directive of the Russian Central Bank (the “CBR”) N 5371-U which came into force on April 17, 2020, there are no restrictions on transfer of cash into and from accounts opened by Russian currency residents with a foreign financial market institution other than a bank. Accordingly, the repatriation requirement in certain cases may not apply with respect to cash amounts received in an account that is considered by the CBR to be a foreign brokerage account opened with a financial market institution other than a bank. Statutory exceptions to the repatriation requirement also may apply.


Other statutory exceptions may apply, and the Employee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor in this regard.  The Employee is encouraged to contact his or her personal advisor as exchange control requirements may change and significant penalties apply in the case of non-compliance with the exchange control requirements.

SPAIN


Terms and Conditions


Acknowledgment and Waiver
The following provisions supplement Section 12 of the Grant Agreement:


By accepting the grant of Stock Options, the Employee acknowledges, understands and agrees that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and have received a copy of the Plan.


The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Stock Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on an ongoing basis.  Consequently, the Employee understands that the Stock Options are granted on the assumption and condition that the Stock Options or the Shares acquired upon exercise shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the Stock Options shall be null and void.


The Stock Options are a conditional right to Shares and vesting may cease in the case of, or affected by, the Employee's termination of service or employment.  This will be the case, for example, even if (1) the Employee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) the Employee is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) the Employee terminates employment or service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) the Employee terminates employment or service due to unilateral breach of contract of the Company, the Employer, or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate; or (5) the Employee's employment or service terminates for any other reason whatsoever, except for reasons specified in the Grant Agreement.  Consequently, upon termination of the Employee's employment or service for any of the reasons set forth above, the Employee may automatically lose any rights to the unvested Stock Options granted to him or her as of the date of the Employee's termination of employment and may have a limited period post-termination to exercise the Stock Option, as described in the Plan and the Grant Agreement.
