GINKGO BIOWORKS HOLDINGS, INC. 

2022 INDUCEMENT PLAN 

ARTICLE I. 
 PURPOSE

 The Plan’s purpose is to allow the Company to provide an inducement to secure and retain the services of Eligible Individuals
(as defined in Article II) by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the Plan are defined in Article XI. 

ARTICLE II. 
 ELIGIBILITY

 An award under the Plan may only be granted to an individual being hired (or rehired following a bona period of interruption of
employment) as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including in connection with a merger or acquisition, as a material inducement to such individual’s entering into employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(within the meaning of NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08) (each such individual, an “Eligible Individual”). 

In addition, eligibility for Stock Options and SARs is limited to Eligible Individuals who are providing direct services on the date of grant
of the Award to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company that would be described in the first sentence of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E). 

ARTICLE III. 

ADMINISTRATION 
 The Plan
is administered by the Administrator. The Administrator has authority to determine which Eligible Individuals receive Awards, grant Awards and set Award terms and conditions, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. The Administrator
also has the authority to take all actions and make all determinations under the Plan, to interpret the Plan and Award Agreements, to impose a mandatory holding period pursuant to which some or all Participants may not dispose of or transfer Shares
issued under the Plan for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its discretion, and to adopt, amend and repeal Plan administrative rules, guidelines and practices as it deems advisable. The Administrator may correct defects and
ambiguities, supply omissions and reconcile inconsistencies in the Plan or any Award as it deems necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and any Awards. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan are in its sole discretion and
will be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or any Award. 
 Notwithstanding anything in the Plan
to the contrary, all Awards under the Plan must be granted either by a majority of the Company’s independent directors or by the Compensation Committee comprised of independent directors within the meaning of NYSE Listed Company Manual
Section 303A.02. 
 ARTICLE IV. 

STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS 

4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Article VIII and the terms of this Article IV, Awards may be made under the
Plan covering up to 25,000,000 Shares (the “Share Limit”). Shares issued under the Plan (i) may consist of authorized but unissued Shares, Shares purchased on the open market or treasury Shares and (ii) may be
issued as Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 

 4.2 Share Recycling. If all or any part of an Award expires, lapses or is terminated,
exchanged for cash, surrendered, repurchased, canceled without having been fully exercised or forfeited, in any case, in a manner that results in the Company acquiring Shares covered by the Award at a price not greater than the price (as adjusted to
reflect any Equity Restructuring) paid by the Participant for such Shares or not issuing any Shares covered by the Award, the unused Shares covered by the Award will, as applicable, become or again be available for Award grants under the Plan.
Further, Shares delivered (either by actual delivery or attestation) to the Company by a Participant to satisfy the applicable exercise or purchase price of an Award and/or to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligation (including Shares
retained by the Company from the Award being exercised or purchased and/or creating the tax obligation) will, as applicable, become or again be available for Award grants under the Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction
with any outstanding Awards shall not count against the Share Limit. 
 4.3 Mergers and Acquisitions. Shares may be issued in
connection with Awards ranted in respect of converted, replaced or adjusted awards in connection with a merger or acquisition as permitted by NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08 or, if applicable, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c), AMEX
Company Guide Section 711 or other applicable rule, and such issuance will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. 

ARTICLE V. 
 STOCK
OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 5.1 General. The Administrator may grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to
Eligible Individuals subject to the limitations in the Plan. All Options granted under the Plan will be Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Administrator will determine the number of Shares covered by each Option
and Stock Appreciation Right, the exercise price of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the
Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right) to receive from the Company upon exercise of the exercisable portion of the Stock Appreciation Right an amount determined by multiplying the excess, if any, of the Fair
Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over the base value per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations of the Plan or that
the Administrator may impose and payable in cash, Shares valued at Fair Market Value or a combination of the two as the Administrator may determine or provide in the Award Agreement. 

5.2 Exercise Price. The Administrator will establish each Option’s and Stock Appreciation Right’s exercise price or base
value, as applicable, and specify the exercise price in the Award Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the exercise price or base value will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date of the Option or
Stock Appreciation Right. 
 5.3 Duration. Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable at such times and as specified
in the Award Agreement, provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will not exceed ten years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the end of the term of
an Option or Stock Appreciation Right (i) violates the non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other similar restrictive covenant provisions of any
employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) commits a material violation or breach of a Company policy that relates to
discrimination, harassment, retaliation or that is otherwise customarily punishable by termination of employment, the right of the Participant and the Participant’s transferees to exercise any Option or Stock Appreciation Right issued to the
Participant shall terminate immediately upon such violation or breach, unless the Company otherwise determines. 

  
 2 

 5.4 Exercise. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by delivering to
the Company a written notice of exercise, in a form the Administrator approves (which may be electronic), signed by the person authorized to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, together with, as applicable, payment in full (i) as
specified in Section 5.5 for the number of Shares for which the Award is exercised and (ii) as specified in Section 9.5 for any applicable taxes. Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may
not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
 5.5 Payment Upon Exercise. Subject to any Company insider trading policy (including
blackout periods) and Applicable Laws, the exercise price of an Option must be paid by: 
 (a) cash, wire transfer of immediately available
funds or by check payable to the order of the Company, provided that the Company may limit the use of the foregoing payment forms if one or more of the payment forms below is permitted; 

(b) unless the Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of an
irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and
unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the
Administrator; 
 (c) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by
the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value; 
 (d) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, surrendering Shares then issuable
upon the Option’s exercise valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date; 
 (e) to the extent permitted by the Administrator,
delivery of a promissory note or any other property that the Administrator determines is good and valuable consideration; or 
 (f) to the
extent permitted by the Administrator, any combination of the above payment forms approved by the Administrator. 
 ARTICLE VI. 

RESTRICTED STOCK; RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

6.1 General. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock, or the right to purchase Restricted Stock, to any Eligible Individual,
subject to the Company’s right to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant (or to require forfeiture of such shares) if conditions the Administrator specifies in the Award
Agreement are not satisfied before the end of the applicable restriction period or periods that the Administrator establishes for such Award. In addition, the Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Individuals, which may be
subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during the applicable restriction period or periods, as set forth in an Award Agreement. The Administrator will determine and set forth in the Award Agreement the terms and conditions for each Restricted
Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Award, subject to the conditions and limitations contained in the Plan. 

  
 3 

 6.2 Restricted Stock. 

(a) Dividends. Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to all ordinary cash dividends paid with respect to
such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise in the Award Agreement. In addition, unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, or consist of a dividend or distribution to holders of
Common Stock of property other than an ordinary cash dividend, the Shares or other property will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. 

(b) Stock Certificates. The Company may require that the Participant deposit in escrow with the Company (or its designee) any stock
certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, together with a stock power endorsed in blank. 
 6.3 Restricted Stock
Units. 
 (a) Settlement. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Restricted Stock Units will occur upon or as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Restricted Stock Units vest or will instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant’s election, in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A. 

(b) Stockholder Rights. A Participant will have no rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to any Restricted Stock Unit
unless and until the Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit. 
 (c) Dividend Equivalents. If the
Administrator provides, a grant of Restricted Stock Units may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares
and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are granted and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement. 

ARTICLE VII. 
 OTHER
STOCK BASED AWARDS 
 Other Stock Based Awards may be granted to Eligible Individuals, including Awards entitling Participants to
receive Shares to be delivered in the future (whether based on specified Performance Criteria or otherwise), subject to any conditions and limitations in the Plan. Other Stock Based Awards may be paid in Shares, cash or other property, as the
Administrator determines. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock Based Award, including any purchase price, performance goal (which may be based on the Performance
Criteria), transfer restrictions, and vesting conditions, which will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

 ARTICLE VIII. 

ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK 

AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS 

8.1 Equity Restructuring. In connection with any Equity Restructuring, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article VIII, the Administrator will equitably adjust the Share Limit and each outstanding Award as it deems appropriate to reflect the Equity Restructuring, which may include adjusting the number and type of securities subject to each
outstanding Award and/or the Award’s exercise price, base value or grant price (if applicable), and any other provision of an outstanding Award affected by such Equity Restructuring. The adjustments provided under this Section 8.1 will be
nondiscretionary and final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company; provided that the Administrator will determine whether an adjustment is equitable. 

8.2 Corporate Transactions. In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other
securities, or other property), reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, amalgamation, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, Change in Control, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, other similar corporate transaction or event,
other unusual or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or its financial statements or any change in any Applicable Laws or accounting principles, the Administrator, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by
the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event (except that action to give effect to a change in Applicable Law or accounting principles may be made within a reasonable period of time after such
change) and either automatically or upon the Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent
dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (y) to facilitate such transaction or event or
(z) give effect to such changes in Applicable Laws or accounting principles: 
 (a) To provide for the cancellation of any such Award
in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under the
vested portion of such Award, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or
less than zero, then the Award may be terminated without payment; 
 (b) To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent
applicable, be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award; 

(c) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted
for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and/or applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined
by the Administrator; 

  
 5 

 (d) To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property)
subject to outstanding Awards and/or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments to the limitation set forth in Section 4.1 hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be
issued) and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards; 

(e) To replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; and/or 

(f) To provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after the applicable event. 

8.3 Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 8.2 above, if a Change in Control occurs and Awards are not continued, converted,
assumed, or replaced with a comparable award (as determined by the Administrator) by (i) the Company or (ii) a successor entity or its parent or subsidiary (an “Assumption”), and provided that the Participant has
not had a termination of employment or other service relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then immediately prior to the Change in Control, such Awards (other than any Award that is regularly scheduled to vest based on the
attainment of performance-based vesting conditions) will become fully vested, exercisable and/or payable, as applicable, and all forfeiture, repurchase and other restrictions on such Awards will lapse, in which case, such Awards will be canceled
upon the consummation of the Change in Control in exchange for the right to receive the Change in Control consideration payable to other holders of Common Stock, which may be on such terms and conditions as apply generally to holders of Common Stock
under the Change in Control documents (including, without limitation, any escrow, earn-out or other deferred consideration provisions) or such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may provide, and
determined by reference to the number of Shares subject to such Awards and net of any applicable exercise price; provided that to the extent that any Awards constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” that may not be paid upon the
Change in Control under Section 409A without the imposition of taxes thereon under Section 409A, the timing of such payments shall be governed by the applicable Award Agreement (subject to any deferred consideration provisions applicable
under the Change in Control documents); and provided, further, that if the amount to which a Participant would be entitled upon the settlement or exercise of such Award at the time of the Change in Control is equal to or less than zero, then such
Award may be terminated without payment. An Award will be considered replaced with a comparable award if the Award is exchanged for an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the
settlement of such Award in such Change in Control (as determined by the Administrator), even if such cash or other property payable with respect to the unvested portion of such Award remains subject to similar vesting provisions following such
Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator will have full and final authority to determine whether an Assumption of an Award has occurred in connection with a Change in Control. 

8.4 Administrative Stand Still. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger,
consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other extraordinary transaction or change affecting the Shares or the share price of Common Stock, including any Equity Restructuring or
any securities offering or other similar transaction, for administrative convenience, the Administrator may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award for up to sixty days before or after such transaction. 

8.5 General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no Participant will have any
rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or other corporation. Except as
expressly provided with respect to an Equity Restructuring under Section 8.1 above or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, will

  
 6 

 
affect, and no adjustment will be made regarding, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Award’s grant or exercise price. The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreements and the
Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company’s right or power to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business,
(ii) any merger, consolidation dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of Company assets or (iii) any sale or issuance of securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the Shares or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Shares. The Administrator may treat Participants and Awards (or portions thereof) differently under this Article VIII. 

ARTICLE IX. 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS 
 9.1 Transferability. Except as the Administrator may determine or provide in an Award
Agreement or otherwise, Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the Administrator’s
consent, pursuant to a domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Participant, will be exercisable only by the Participant. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, will include references to a
Participant’s authorized transferee that the Administrator specifically approves. 
 9.2 Documentation. Each Award will be
evidenced in an Award Agreement, which may be written or electronic, as the Administrator determines. Each Award may contain terms and conditions, as determined by the Administrator, in addition to those set forth in the Plan. 

9.3 Discretion. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Administrator need not treat Participants or
Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly. 
 9.4 Termination of Status. The Administrator will determine how the Disability, death,
retirement, authorized leave of absence or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s employment status affects an Award and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant’s legal
representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable. 
 9.5
Withholding. Each Participant must pay the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with such Participant’s Awards by the date of the event
creating the tax liability. The Company may deduct an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations based on the applicable statutory withholding rates (or such other rate as may be determined by the Company after considering any accounting
consequences or costs) from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant. Subject to any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods), Participants may satisfy such tax obligations (i) in cash, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, by check made payable to the order of the Company, provided that the Company may limit the use of the foregoing payment forms if one or more of the payment forms below is permitted, (ii) to the extent permitted by
the Administrator, in whole or in part by delivery of Shares, including Shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value, (iii) unless the Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery
(including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to satisfy the tax obligations, or
(B) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding; provided
that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator, or (iv) to the extent permitted by the 

  
 7 

 
Administrator, any combination of the foregoing payment forms approved by the Administrator. If any tax withholding obligation will be satisfied under clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence by the Company’s retention of Shares from the Award creating the tax obligation, the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on the applicable
Participant’s behalf some or all of the Shares retained and to remit the proceeds of the sale to the Company or its designee, and each Participant’s acceptance of an Award under the Plan will constitute the Participant’s authorization
to the Company and instruction and authorization to such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this sentence. 
 9.6
Amendment of Award; No Repricing. The Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including by substituting another Award of the same or a different type or changing the exercise or settlement date. The
Participant’s consent to such action will be required unless (i) the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award, or (ii) the change is
permitted under Article VIII or pursuant to Section 10.6. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator may not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, reduce the exercise price or base price per
share of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that have an exercise price or base price in excess of Fair Market Value in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights with an exercise price or base price per share that is less than the exercise price or base price per share of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 

9.7 Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares under the Plan or remove restrictions from
Shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all Award conditions have been met or removed to the Administrator’s satisfaction, (ii) as determined by the Administrator, all other legal matters regarding the issuance and
delivery of such Shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or
agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any Applicable Laws. The Company’s inability to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which the Administrator determines is necessary to the
lawful issuance and sale of any securities, will relieve the Company of any liability for failing to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained. 

9.8 Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or partially
exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable, in each case regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax or other consequences resulting from such acceleration. 

ARTICLE X. 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 No
Right to Employment or Other Status. No person will have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other service relationship with
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or any
Award, except as expressly provided in an Award Agreement. 

  
 8 

 10.2 No Rights as Stockholder; Certificates. Subject to the applicable Award
Agreement, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary will have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under an Award until becoming the record holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
unless the Administrator otherwise determines or Applicable Laws require, the Company will not be required to deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares may be recorded in
the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). The Company may place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan that the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable
Laws. 
 10.3 Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan was adopted by the Board effective October 16, 2022. The Plan shall
remain in effect until terminated by the Administrator under Section 10.4. 
 10.4 Amendment of Plan. The Administrator may
amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided that no amendment, other than an increase to the Share Limit, may materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding at the time of such amendment without the affected Participant’s
consent. No Awards may be granted under the Plan during any suspension period or after Plan termination. Awards outstanding at the time of any Plan suspension or termination will continue to be governed by the Plan and the Award Agreement, as in
effect before such suspension or termination. 
 10.5 Provisions for Foreign Participants. The Administrator may modify Awards
granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or procedures under the Plan to address differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to
tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters. 
 10.6 Section 409A. 

(a) General. The Company intends that all Awards be structured to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A, such that no
adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s consent, amend this Plan or Awards,
adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and retroactive actions) as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including any such actions intended to
(A) exempt this Plan or any Award from Section 409A, or (B) comply with Section 409A, including regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after an Award’s grant date.
The Company makes no representations or warranties as to an Award’s tax treatment under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company will have no obligation under this Section 10.6 or otherwise to avoid the taxes, penalties or interest
under Section 409A with respect to any Award and will have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute noncompliant “nonqualified deferred
compensation” subject to taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A. 
 (b) Separation from Service. If an Award
constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any payment or settlement of such Award upon a termination of a Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, be made only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), whether such “separation from
service” occurs upon or after the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or
benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms means a “separation from service.” 

  
 9 

 (c) Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the
Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” required to be made under an Award to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A and as the Administrator determines) due to his
or her “separation from service” will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such
“separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the specified employee’s death) and will instead be paid (as set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day immediately following such six-month
period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (without interest). Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award payable more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from
service” will be paid at the time or times the payments are otherwise scheduled to be made. 
 10.7 Limitations on Liability.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person
for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, and such individual will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in his or her capacity as
an Administrator, director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, other employee and agent of the Company or any Subsidiary that has been or will be
granted or delegated any duty or power relating to the Plan’s administration or interpretation, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the
Administrator’s approval) arising from any act or omission concerning this Plan unless arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith. 

10.8 Conversion of Stock. The Awards granted and Shares issuable and issued pursuant to this Plan are subject to the provisions of the
Charter regarding the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock. In addition, prior to or in connection with issuing any Shares subject to Awards under the Plan, the Administrator may convert Awards previously
granted covering shares of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock or convert Awards previously granted covering shares of Class A Common Stock to Class B Common Stock. 

10.9 Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection,
use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 10.9 by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s
participation in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security, insurance number
or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates; and Award details, to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”).
The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may
transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different
data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and
manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held
only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds regarding such Participant, request additional information about
the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 10.9 in writing, without cost, by contacting the
local human resources representative. The Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or

 10.10 Severability. If any portion of the Plan or any action taken under it is held
illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action
will be null and void. 
 10.11 Governing Documents. If any contradiction occurs between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other
written agreement between a Participant and the Company (or any Subsidiary) that the Administrator has approved, the Plan will govern, unless it is expressly specified in such Award Agreement or other written document that a specific provision of
the Plan will not apply.

laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding any state’s choice-of-law principles requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of
Delaware. 
 10.13 Claw-back Provisions. All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit the Participant actually
or constructively receives upon receipt or exercise of any Award or the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) will be subject to any Company claw-back policy adopted to comply with Applicable Laws (including the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder). 
 10.14 Titles and Headings. The
titles and headings in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, if any conflict, the Plan’s text, rather than such titles or headings, will control. 

10.15 Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with
Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and all Awards will be administered only in conformance with Applicable Laws. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, the Plan and all Award Agreements will be deemed amended
as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws. 
 10.16 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan will be taken into
account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except as expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement
thereunder. 
 10.17 Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of a broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of
amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Awards, including amounts to be paid under the final sentence of Section 9.5: (a) any Shares to be sold through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment
first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (c) the applicable Participant will be
responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the
extent the Company or its designee receives proceeds of such sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company will pay such excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) the Company and its designees are under
no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price; and (f) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon
demand to the Company or its designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

 Exhibit A 

GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant
Notice, in the Plan. 
 ARTICLE I. 

GENERAL 
 I.1 Award of
RSUs and Dividend Equivalents.  
 (a) The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth
in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share or, at the option of the Company, an amount of cash, in either case, as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to
the distribution of any Shares or payment of any cash until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested. Shares issued pursuant to this Award may be issued as Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as determined by the Administrator in
its sole discretion, and will be subject to the provisions of the Charter regarding the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock. Further, the Company may provide for the exchange of any Class A Common
Stock issued pursuant to this Award for Class B Common Stock, on such terms and conditions as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 

(b) The Company hereby grants to Participant, with respect to each RSU, a Dividend Equivalent for ordinary cash dividends paid to
substantially all holders of outstanding Shares with a record date after the Grant Date and prior to the date the applicable RSU is settled, forfeited or otherwise expires. Each Dividend Equivalent entitles Participant to receive the equivalent
value of any such ordinary cash dividends paid on a single Share. The Company will establish a separate Dividend Equivalent bookkeeping account (a “Dividend Equivalent Account”) for each Dividend Equivalent and credit the
Dividend Equivalent Account (without interest) on the applicable dividend payment date with the amount of any such cash paid. Participant will have no right to the payment of any Dividend Equivalent until the time (if ever) the related RSU has
vested. 
 I.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the
Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control. 

I.3 Unsecured Promise. The RSUs and Dividend Equivalents will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company
obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets. 
 ARTICLE II. 

VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT 

II.1 Vesting; Forfeiture. The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice except that any fraction of an RSU
that would otherwise be vested will be accumulated and will vest only when a whole RSU has accumulated. In the event a Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason, all
unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company. Dividend Equivalents (including any
Dividend Equivalent Account balance) will vest or be forfeited, as applicable, upon the vesting or forfeiture of the RSU with respect to which the Dividend Equivalent (including the Dividend Equivalent Account) relates. 

  
 A-1 

 II.2 Settlement. 

(a) RSUs and Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) will be paid in Shares or cash at the Company’s
option as soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of the applicable RSU, but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the date on which the RSU vests. 

(b) If an RSU is paid in cash, the amount of cash paid with respect to the RSU will equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day
immediately preceding the payment date. If a Dividend Equivalent is paid in Shares, the number of Shares paid with respect to the Dividend Equivalent will equal the quotient, rounded down to the nearest whole Share, of the Dividend Equivalent
Account balance divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day immediately preceding the payment date. 
 ARTICLE III. 

TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING 

III.1 Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the
tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of the Grant Notice relating to the Tax Treatment shall apply to this Award. 
 III.2 Tax
Withholding.  
 (a) To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award results in compensation income or wages
to Participant for U.S. federal, state, local and/or non-U.S. tax purposes, Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any income tax, social insurance
contribution or other applicable taxes that are required to be withheld in respect of this Award, which, unless otherwise determined by the Company, shall be satisfied by the Tax Treatment. The Company shall otherwise be permitted to use any of the
methods permitted under Section 9.5 of the Plan to satisfy any tax withholding in connection with this Award, without the need for Participant’s consent. 

(b) Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs and the
Dividend Equivalents, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents, including the Tax Treatment. Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the award, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the Dividend Equivalents or any subsequent sale of Shares received in respect of
the RSUs or the Dividend Equivalents. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability. 

  
 A-2 

 ARTICLE IV. 

OTHER PROVISIONS 
 IV.1
Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs, the Shares subject to the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan. 

IV.2 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company
in care of the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal office or the Secretary’s then-current email address. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to
Participant at Participant’s last known mailing address or email address in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party.
Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United
States Postal Service, or when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company. 
 IV.3 Titles. Titles are provided
herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement. 
 IV.4 Conformity to
Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary
to conform to Applicable Laws. 
 IV.5 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to
single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
 IV.6 Limitations Applicable to
Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement, the RSUs and the Dividend
Equivalents will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that
are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement. 

IV.9 Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.
This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have
only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs and Dividend Equivalents, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash or the Shares as a
general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs and Dividend Equivalents, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

IV.10 Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to
continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of
Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause. 
 IV.11 Part-Time Status. Participant acknowledges and
agrees that if Participant changes classification from a full-time employee to a part-time employee or if Participant goes on a leave of absence, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, reduce or eliminate the vesting of Participant’s
unvested RSUs, including any Restricted Stock Units previously granted to Participant under the Plan or any other equity incentive plan of the Company. Participant’s execution of this Agreement serves as consent to any such change in vesting.

 IV.12 Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature,
subject to Applicable Law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument. 
 IV.13
Governing Law. The RSUs and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without regard to conflict of laws principles.

shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the
settlement of the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement. 
 2. Tax
Matters. This Section replaces Section III.2 of the Agreement: 
 (a) Responsibility for Taxes. Participant acknowledges
that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment
on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related
Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no
representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of
the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in
connection with the Tax-Related Items. 
 (b) Withholding Generally. In connection with any
relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to fulfill any and all liability for Tax-Related
Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations or rights with regard to
Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following without the need for Participant’s consent: (i) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Participant
by the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary, (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company
(on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), (iii) withholding Shares to be issued upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs, (iv) requiring Participant to tender a cash payment to the Company, the
Employer or another Subsidiary, and/or (v) any other method of withholding determined by the Company to be permitted under the Plan and applicable law and, to the extent required by the Plan or applicable law, approved by the Committee. 

 

  
 A-2 

 (c) Withholding Rates. The Company may withhold for
Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or other withholding rates, including up to the maximum applicable rates in Participant’s jurisdiction(s). In the event the application of such withholding rate
leads to over-withholding, Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash from the Company or the Employer (and, in no event, will Participant have any entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares); alternatively, if not
refunded by the Company or the Employer, Participant may be able to seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event the application of such withholding rate leads to under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities. 
 3. Data Privacy. If
Participant would like to participate in the Plan, Participant will need to review the information provided in this Section 3 of Appendix B and, where applicable, declare Participant’s consent to the processing and/or transfer of personal
data as described below. 
 (a) EEA+ Controller. If Participant is based in the European Union
(“EU”), the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom (collectively, “EEA+”), Participant should note that the Company, with its registered address at 27 Drydock Avenue, 8th Floor,
Boston, MA 02210, USA, is the controller responsible for the processing of Participant’s personal data in connection with this Agreement and the Plan. 

(b) Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes certain personal data about
Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary,
nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, which the
Company receives from Participant, the Employer or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the Plan (“Personal Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and allocating Shares
pursuant to the Plan. 
 If Participant is based in the EEA+, the legal basis for the processing of Personal Data by the Company is the
necessity of the data processing for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the EEA+, or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with
legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. 
 If Participant is based outside of the EEA+, the legal basis, where required, for the
processing of Personal Data by the Company is Participant’s consent, as further described below. 
 (c) Stock Plan
Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Personal Data to Fidelity (“Broker”), an independent service provider, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the
Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Personal Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner. Broker will open an account for Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan.
Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with Broker, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan. 

  
 A-3 

 (d) International Data Transfers. The Company and its service
providers, including without limitation, Fidelity, operate (with respect to the Company) in the United States. Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. By participating
in the Plan, Participant acknowledges and accepts that the transfer of Data outside Participant’s country or jurisdiction is necessary for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under the Agreement and for the Company’s
legitimate business interests of managing the Plan and generally administering employee participation. To the extent required by applicable law, the Company shall implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers of Data, including, for
example, by executing standard contractual clauses approved for such use by the European Commission. 
 (e) Data
Retention. The Company will hold and use the Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including
under tax and security laws. 
 (f) Data Subject Rights. Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy
laws in his or her jurisdiction. Depending on where Participant is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company processes, (ii) the rectification or amendment of incorrect or
incomplete Personal Data, (iii) the deletion of Personal Data, (iv) request restrictions on the processing of Personal Data, (v) object to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, (vi) the portability of Personal
Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Participant’s jurisdiction, and/or to (viii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data. To receive additional information
regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Participant can contact privacy@ginkgobioworks.com. 
 (g) Necessary
Disclosure of Personal Data. Participant understands that providing the Company with Personal Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that Participant’s refusal to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the
Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. 
 (h)
Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Participant is providing any consents referred to herein on a purely voluntary basis. Participant understands that Participant
may withdraw any such consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to withdraw Participant’s consent, Participant’s salary from or employment and career with
the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the RSUs or other awards to Participant or administer or maintain the RSUs. For more
information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant should contact equity@ginkgobioworks.com. 

(i) Declaration of Consent. 

If Participant is based in the EEA+, by acknowledging and accepting this Agreement and indicating consent via the Company’s online
acceptance procedure, Participant explicitly declares consent to the onward transfer of Personal Data by the Company to Broker or, as the case may be, a different service provider of the Company in the U.S. as described in Section 3(d) above.

  
 A-4 

 If Participant is based outside of the EEA+, by acknowledging and accepting this Agreement
and indicating consent via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, Participant explicitly declares consent to the entirety of the Personal Data processing operations described in this Section 3 including, without limitation, the onward
transfer of Personal Data by the Company to Broker or, as the case may be, a different service provider of the Company in the U.S. 
 4.
Language. Participant acknowledges and represents that Participant is proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow Participant to understand the terms of
this Agreement, including this Appendix B and any other appendices thereto, and any other documents related to the Plan or this Agreement. If Participant has received this Agreement, including the appendices or any other document related to the Plan
translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. 

5. Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an exemption from any
registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any of the Shares that are otherwise issuable upon settlement of the RSUs prior to the completion or approval of any
registration or qualification of the Shares under any applicable law or under any rulings or regulations of any governmental regulatory body, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem
necessary or advisable. Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with any securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the
Shares. Further, Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend this Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities, exchange control or other laws applicable to issuance
of Shares. 
 6. Choice of Venue. Any and all disputes relating to, concerning or arising from this Agreement, or relating to,
concerning or arising from the relationship between the parties evidenced by the RSUs or this Agreement, shall be brought and heard exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Each of the parties hereby represents and
agrees that such party is subject to the personal jurisdiction of said courts; hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts in any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute, and waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which such party may now or hereafter have that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in such courts is
improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 7. Imposition of Other Requirements.
The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs, the Dividend Equivalents and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary
or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 

  
 A-5 

 8. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or
financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant should consult with Participant’s own
personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 
 9.
Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. Participant acknowledges that Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including (but not limited to) the U.S. and
Participant’s jurisdiction, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) or rights linked to the value of shares during such times Participant is
considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions
that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Participant is responsible for complying with any such restrictions and should speak to Participant’s personal legal advisor on this matter. 

10. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting and Exchange Control Requirements. Participant acknowledges that there may be foreign asset
and/or account reporting and/or exchange control requirements which may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares or cash received from participating in the Plan in a brokerage or bank account outside Participant’s country.
Participant may be required to report such accounts, balances, assets and/or the related transactions to the tax, exchange control or other authorities in Participant’s jurisdiction. Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds
or other funds received as a result of participation in the Plan to Participant’s jurisdiction through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. Participant is responsible for complying with such regulations and
should speak to Participant’s personal legal advisor on this matter. 
 11. Additional Country-Specific Provisions.
Participant shall also be subject to any terms and conditions set forth in Appendix C to this Agreement for Participant’s jurisdiction. Moreover, if Participant relocates to another jurisdiction while the RSUs are outstanding or while holding
any Shares acquired upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the terms and conditions set forth in Appendices B and C will apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or
advisable for legal or administrative reasons.
