 CYTEIR THERAPEUTICS, INC. 

2021 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION
AGREEMENT 
 This agreement (this “Agreement”) evidences a stock option granted by Cyteir
Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) to the individual named above (the “Participant”), pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Cyteir Therapeutics, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (as from time to time amended
and in effect, the “Plan”). Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein have the same meaning as in the Plan. 

1. Grant of Stock Option. The Company grants to the Participant on the date set forth above (the “Date of Grant”) an
option (the “Stock Option”) to purchase, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, up to the number of shares of Stock set forth above (the “Shares”) with an
exercise price per Share as set forth above, in each case, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the date hereof. 

The Stock Option evidenced by this Agreement is a non-statutory option (that is, an option that is not
intended to qualify as an ISO) and is granted to the Participant in connection with the Participant’s Employment. 
 2. Vesting.
The term “vest” as used herein with respect to the Stock Option or any portion thereof means to become exercisable and the term “vested” as used herein with respect to the Stock Option (or any portion thereof) means
that the Stock Option (or portion thereof) is then exercisable. Unless earlier terminated, forfeited, relinquished or expired, the Stock Option will vest. 

3. Exercise of the Stock Option. No portion of the Stock Option may be exercised until such portion vests. Each election to exercise
any vested portion of the Stock Option will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and must be in written or electronic form acceptable to the Administrator, signed (including by electronic signature) by the Participant or, if at the
relevant time the Stock Option has passed to the estate or beneficiary of the Participant or a permitted transferee, by such estate or beneficiary or permitted transferee. Each such written or electronic exercise election must be received by the
Company at its principal office or at such other place or by such other party as the Administrator may prescribe and must be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price by cash or check, through a broker-assisted exercise program acceptable
to the Administrator, or as otherwise provided in the Plan. Subject to earlier termination as set forth herein or in the Plan (including Section 6(a)(4) of the Plan), the latest date on which the Stock Option or any portion thereof may be
exercised is the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Final Exercise Date”) and, if not exercised on or prior to such date, the Stock Option or any remaining
portion thereof will thereupon immediately terminate. 












 4. Cessation of Employment. If the Participant’s Employment ceases for
any reason, except as expressly provided for in a written agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its affiliates that is in effect at the time of such cessation of Employment, the Stock Option, to the extent not then vested, will
be immediately forfeited for no consideration, and any vested portion of the Stock Option that is then outstanding will remain exercisable for the period, if any, described in Section 6(a)(4) of the Plan. 

5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Stock Option may not be transferred except as expressly permitted under Section 6(a)(3) of
the Plan. 
 6. Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation. By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Stock Option, the
Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights, and those of any permitted transferee, with respect to the Stock Option, including the right to any Shares acquired under the Stock Option or any amounts received in respect
thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan (including any successor provision). The Participant further agrees to be bound by the terms of any applicable clawback or recoupment policy and any stock ownership guidelines of, or
established by, the Company. Nothing in the preceding sentence will be construed as limiting the general application of Section 8 of this Agreement. 

7. Taxes. The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s rights hereunder, including the right to be
issued Shares upon exercise of the Stock Option, are subject to the Participant promptly paying to the Company in cash or by check (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator) all taxes and other amounts required to be
withheld. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Option unless and until the person exercising the Stock Option has remitted to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any withholding requirements, or has made
other arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to such amounts. The Participant authorizes the Company and its subsidiaries to withhold any amounts due in respect of any required withholdings from any amounts otherwise owed to the
Participant, but nothing in this sentence will be construed as relieving the Participant from any liability for satisfying his or her obligation under the preceding provisions of this Section. 

8. Provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by
reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant has been made available to the Participant. By accepting, or being deemed to have accepted, the Stock Option, the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this
Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.

format (PDF) or electronic signature, which, in each case, will constitute an original signature for all purposes hereunder, and (iii) such signature by the Company will be binding against the Company and will create a legally binding agreement
