 ATTACHMENT A 

In addition to the terms outlined in the attached offer letter, your employment at Bloom Energy is conditioned upon the following. 

At-Will Employment. You will be an “at will” employee of the Company. This means that either you or the Company may terminate your employment
at any time, for any reason or no reason, with our without cause or notice. Regular employment at the Company is for no specified period of time and the Company makes no guarantee or contract of continued employment. Although your job duties, title,
compensation, and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may not be changed except in an express written agreement signed by you and the President
of the Company. In the event that you choose to resign from the Company, we request that you give us at least two weeks notice. 
 Stock Options. If
approved by the Board, your stock options will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Stock Option Plan and Stock Option Agreement, including vesting requirements. You will be provided with a copy of the Stock Option Plan and
Stock Option Agreement following the Board’s approval of your grant. No right to any stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant confer any right to continued vesting or employment. 

Annual Bonus. Your annual bonus is subject to the discretion and approval of the Board of Directors and will be paid in accordance with the
Company’s normal bonus payment practices. Your bonus is a percentage of base pay earned during the calendar year. Therefore your bonus in the first year will be prorated based upon your first date of regular employment, and will be prorated in
the event you take an unpaid leave of absence. To be eligible, you must be a regular employee at calendar yearend and have been an active regular employee for at least 30 days during the calendar year. 

Relocation. We will be pleased to pay for reasonable moving expenses up to the maximum described in this offer letter. After your move is completed,
please submit a Moving Expense Report to Accounting, detailing your expenses with all receipts. Reimbursements for moving expenses may be either non-taxable (deductible) or taxable (non-deductible), depending on their classification as
described in IRS Publication 521. In general, the IRS permits only costs to move your household goods and one way travel for members of your household to be nontaxable. The IRS considers all other expenses to be taxable fringe benefits, and they
will be added to your payroll wages for payment of taxes in the month following your moving expense reimbursement. Should you have questions, our accounting department would be pleased to discuss this with you. 

In consideration of the investment made by the Company for your relocation, you agree to refund your relocation reimbursement in full to the Company in the
event that, prior to your first anniversary of employment with the Company, you voluntarily terminate your employment or are terminated by the Company for cause. 

References, The Company reserves the right to conduct background investigations and/or reference checks on all of its potential employees. Your job
offer, therefore, is contingent upon a clearance of such a background investigation and/or reference check, if any. 
 Right to Work. For purposes of
federal immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the United States. Such documentation must be provided to us within three (3) business days of your date
of hire, or our employment relationship with you may be terminated. 
 Prior Employment. We also ask that, if you have not already done so, you
disclose to the Company any and all agreements relating to your prior employment that may affect your eligibility to be employed by the Company or limit the manner in which you may be employed. It is the Company’s understanding that any such
agreements will not prevent you from performing the duties of your position and you represent that such is the case. Moreover, you agree that, during the term of your employment with the Company, you will not engage in any other
employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes

involved during the term of your employment, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict with your obligations to the Company. Similarly, you agree not to bring any third party
confidential information to the Company, including that of your former employer, and that in performing your duties for the Company you will not in any way utilize any such information. 

Company Policies. As a Company employee, you will be expected to abide by the Company’s rules and standards. Specifically, you will be required to
sign an acknowledgment that you have read and that you understand the Company’s rules of conduct which are included in the Company Handbook. 

Intellectual Property. As a condition of your employment, you are also required to sign and comply with the Company’s “Employment,
Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement,” which requires, among other provisions, the assignment of patent rights to any invention made during your employment at the Company, and non-disclosure of Company
proprietary information. Please note that we must receive your signed Agreement on your first day of employment. 
 Arbitration, (a) Any dispute or
controversy arising out of or relating to your employment relationship with the Company, will be settled by final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator to be held in Santa Clara County, California, in accordance with the American
Arbitration Association national rules for resolution of employment disputes then in effect, except as provided herein. The arbitrator selected shall have the authority to grant any party all remedies otherwise available by law, including
injunctions, but shall not have the power to grant any remedy that would not be available in a state or federal court in California. The arbitrator shall be bound by and shall strictly enforce the terms of this section and may not
limit, expand or otherwise modify its terms. The arbitrator shall make a good faith effort to apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state of California, or federal law, or both, as applicable, without reference to
its conflicts of laws provisions, but an arbitration decision shall not be subject to review because of errors of law. The arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to hear and
rule on dispositive motions (such as motions for summary adjudication or summary judgment). The arbitrator shall have the powers granted by California law and the rules of the American Arbitration Association which conducts the arbitration, except
as modified or limited herein. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the rules of the American Arbitration Association, the arbitration shall
provide (i) for written discovery and depositions as provided in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1283.05 and (ii) for a written decision by the arbitrator that includes the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision is
based which shall be issued no later than thirty (30) days after a dispositive motion is heard and/or an arbitration hearing has completed. Except in disputes where you assert a claim otherwise under a state or federal statute prohibiting
discrimination in employment (“a Statutory Discrimination Claim”), the Company shall pay all fees and administrative costs charged by the arbitrator and American Arbitration Association. In disputes where you assert a Statutory
Discrimination Claim against the Company, you are required to pay the American Arbitration Association’s filing fee only to the extent such filing fee does not exceed the fee to file a complaint in state or federal court. The Company shall pay
the balance of the arbitrator’s fees and administrative costs. 
 (c) You and the Company shall have the same amount of time to file any claim against
any other party as such party would have if such a claim had been filed in state or federal court. In conducting the arbitration, the arbitrator shall follow the rules of evidence of the State of California (including but not limited to all
applicable privileges), and the award of the arbitrator must follow California and/or federal law, as applicable. 
 (d) The arbitrator shall be selected by
the mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the parties shall alternately strike names from a list provided by the American Arbitration Association until only one name remains. 

(e) The decision of the arbitrator will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. The prevailing party in the arbitration, as
determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to recover her or its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including the costs or fees charged by the arbitrator and the American Arbitration Association. In disputes where you assert a Statutory
Discrimination Claim, reasonable attorneys’ fees shall be awarded by the arbitrator based on the same standard as such fees would be awarded if the Statutory Discrimination Claim had been asserted in state or federal court. Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction.
