provided further, that the authority of any Committee appointed pursuant to this Section 2 will be subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe and will be coextensive with, and not in lieu of, the authority of the Board
hereunder. 
 Subject to the requirements of the Corporation’s Bylaws (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time),
Certificate of Incorporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time) and/or any other agreement that governs the appointment of Board committees, any Committee established under this Section 2 will be composed of not

this Section 2 will be Non-Employee Directors. From time to time the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereto, remove members (with or
without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan. 

Directors who are eligible for Awards or have received Awards may vote on any matters affecting the administration of the Plan or the grant of
Awards, except that no such member will act upon the grant of an Award to himself or herself, but any such member may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board during which action is taken with respect to the
grant of Awards to himself or herself. 
 The Board will have full authority to grant Awards under this Plan. In particular, subject to
the terms of the Plan, the Board will have the authority: 
 (a)    to select the Persons to whom Awards may from time
to time be granted hereunder (consistent with the eligibility conditions set forth in Section 4); 
 (b)    to
determine the type of Award to be granted to any Person hereunder; 
 (c)    to determine the number and type of Shares,
if any, to be covered by each Award (consistent with the provisions of Section 3 regarding the maximum number of Shares subject to the Plan); 

(d)    to establish the terms and conditions of each Award Agreement; 

(e)    to determine whether and under what circumstances an Option may be exercised without a payment of cash under
Section 5(d); and 
 (f)    to require execution of a Stockholders’ Agreement which may include, among other
things, restrictions on resale of Shares and/or a requirement to sell Shares in connection with a Change of Control or other similar transactions, and may impose a limitation on marketability in connection with a public offering of the
Corporation’s stock. 
 The Board will have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and
practices governing the Plan as it, from time to time, deems advisable; to establish the terms of each Award Agreement; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and any Award Agreement); and to otherwise
supervise the administration of the Plan. The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent it deems necessary to carry out the intent of the Plan.

 All decisions made by the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Plan will be final and binding on all Persons, including the
Corporation and Participants. No Director will be liable for any good faith determination, act or omission in connection with the Plan or any Award.

 Section 3.    Shares Subject to the Plan. 

(a)    Shares Subject to the Plan. The Shares to be subject to Options or Restricted Stock under the Plan will
be authorized and unissued Shares of the Corporation, whether or not previously issued and subsequently acquired by the Corporation. The maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Options or Restricted Stock under the Plan is
200,000. The Corporation will reserve for the purposes of the Plan, out of its authorized and unissued Shares, such number of Shares. 

(b)    Effect of the Expiration or Termination of Awards. If and to the extent that an Option expires,
terminates or is canceled or forfeited for any reason without having been exercised in full, the Shares associated with that Option will again become available for grant under the Plan. Similarly, if any Restricted Share is canceled, forfeited
or repurchased for any reason, or if any Share is withheld pursuant to Section 9(d) in settlement of a tax withholding obligation associated with an Award, that Share will again become available for grant under the Plan. If any Share is
received in satisfaction of the exercise price payable upon exercise of an Option, that Share will become available for grant under the Plan. 

(c)    Other Adjustment. In the event of any recapitalization, stock split or combination, stock dividend or
other similar event or transaction affecting the Shares, equitable substitutions or adjustments may be made by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (i) the aggregate number, type and issuer of the securities reserved for issuance under
the Plan, (ii) the number, type and issuer of Shares subject to outstanding Options, (iii) the exercise price of outstanding Options, and (iv) the number, type and issuer of Restricted Stock. 

(d)    Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Plan, upon or in
anticipation of any Change of Control of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, the Board, as constituted prior to such Change of Control, may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the need for the consent of any Participant, take one
or more of the following actions contingent upon the occurrence of that Change of Control: (i) cause any or all outstanding Options to become vested and immediately exercisable, in whole or in part; (ii) cause any or all outstanding Restricted
Stock to become non-forfeitable, in whole or in part; (iii) cancel any Option in exchange for an option to purchase common stock of any successor corporation or its parent in a manner consistent with the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.424-1
(a)(4)(i) (notwithstanding the fact that the original Option may never have been intended to satisfy the requirements for treatment as an Incentive Stock Option); (iv) cancel any Restricted Stock in exchange for restricted shares of the common stock
of any successor corporation; (v) redeem any Restricted Stock for cash and/or other substitute consideration with a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an unrestricted Share on the date of the Change of Control; or (vi) cancel any Option held by
a Participant affected by the Change of Control in exchange for cash and/or other substitute consideration with a value equal to (A) the number of Shares subject to that Option, multiplied by (B) the difference, if any, between the Fair Market Value
per Share on the date of the Change of Control and the exercise price of that Option; provided, however, that if the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the Change of Control does not exceed the exercise price of any such Option, the Board
may cancel that Option without any payment of consideration therefor. 

  
 5 

 For purposes of clause (d)(iii) in this Section 3, the exchange of an Option issued under
the Plan for an option to purchase common stock of any successor corporation or its parent shall be permitted only to the extent that the ratio of the exercise price to the fair market value of the shares subject to the Option immediately after the
substitution or assumption is not greater than the ratio of the exercise price to the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option immediately before the substitution or assumption. 

Section 4.    Eligibility. Employees, Directors, consultants, and other individuals who provide services to
the Corporation or its Affiliates are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan. Persons who are not employees of the Corporation or a Subsidiary are not eligible to be granted Incentive Stock Options but are eligible to be granted other
types of Awards. 
 Section 5.    Options. Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive
Stock Options; or (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. Any Option granted under the Plan will be in such form as the Board may at the time of such grant approve. Without limiting the generality of Section 3(a), any number of the
maximum number of Shares provided for in Section 3(a) may be subject to Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options, or any combination thereof. 

The Award Agreement evidencing any Option will incorporate the following terms and conditions and will contain such additional terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Board deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion: 

(a)    Option Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under an Incentive Stock Option or a
Non-Qualified Stock Option will be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Share on the date of the grant. However, any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns more than 10% of
the voting power of all classes of shares of the Corporation or of a Subsidiary will have an exercise price per Share of not less than 110% of Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant. 

(b)    Option Term. The term of each Option will be fixed by the Board, but no Incentive Stock Option will be
exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted. However, any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Participant who, at the time such Option is granted, owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the
Corporation or of a Subsidiary may not have a term of more than 5 years. No Option may be exercised by any Person after expiration of the term of the Option. 

(c)    Exercisability. Options will vest and be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms
and conditions as determined by the Board at the time of grant. If the Board provides, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any Option is exercisable only in installments, the Board may waive such installment exercise provisions at any
time at or after grant, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion. 

(d)    Method of Exercise. Subject to the exercisability provisions of Section 5(c) and the termination
provisions set forth in Section 6, Options may be exercised in whole or in part at 

  
 6 

 
any time and from time to time during the term of the Option, by the delivery of written notice of exercise by the Participant to the Corporation specifying the number of Shares to be
purchased. Such notice will be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either by cash or certified or bank check, or such other means as the Board may accept in its sole discretion. As determined by the Board, in its sole and
absolute discretion, at or after grant, payment in full or in part of the exercise price of an Option may be made in the form of previously acquired Shares based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised; provided,
however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of previously acquired Shares may be authorized only at the time the Option is granted. 

No Shares will be issued upon exercise of an Option until full payment therefor has been made. A Participant will not have the right to
distributions or dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to the Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such Shares, and, if requested, has given the
representation described in Section 9(a) hereof. 
 (e)    Incentive Stock Option Limitations. In the
case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year under
the Plan and/or any other plan of the Corporation or any Subsidiary will not exceed $100,000. For purposes of applying the foregoing limitation, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order granted. To the extent any
Option does not meet such limitation, that Option will be treated for all purposes as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

(f)    Termination of Service. Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, Options will be subject to
the terms of Section 6 with respect to exercise upon or following termination of employment or other service. 

(g)    Transferability of Options. Except as may otherwise be specifically determined by the Board with
respect to a particular Option, no Option will be transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Options will be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant or,
in the event of his or her Disability, by his or her personal representative. 
 Section 6.    Termination of
Service. Unless otherwise specified with respect to a particular Option in the applicable Award Agreement, all Options will remain exercisable after termination of employment only to the extent specified in this Section 6. 

(a)    Termination by Reason of Death. If a Participant’s service with the Corporation or any Affiliate
terminates by reason of death, any Option held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable or on such accelerated basis as the Board may determine, at or after grant, by the legal representative of the estate or
by the legatee of the Participant under the will of the Participant, for a period expiring on the earliest to occur of (i) such time as may be specified by the Board at or after the time of grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Board, then 12
months from the date of death, or (iii) the expiration of the stated term of such Option. 

  
 7 

 (b)    Termination by Reason of Disability. If a
Participant’s service with the Corporation or any Affiliate terminates by reason of Disability, any Option held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by the Participant or his or her personal representative, to the extent it was
exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Board may determine at or after grant, for a period expiring on the earliest to occur of (i) such time as may be specified by the Board at or after the time of grant, or
(ii) if not specified by the Board, then 12 months from the date of termination of service, or (iii) the expiration of the stated term of such Option. 

(c)    Cause. If a Participant’s service with the Corporation or any Affiliate is terminated for
Cause: (i) any Option not already exercised will be immediately and automatically forfeited as of the date of such termination, and (ii) any Shares for which the Corporation has not yet delivered share certificates will be immediately and
automatically forfeited and the Corporation will refund to the Participant the Option exercise price paid for such Shares, if any. 

(d)    Other Termination. If a Participant’s service with the Corporation or any Affiliate terminates for
any reason other than death, Disability or Cause, then, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, any Option held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, to the extent it was exercisable at the time
of such termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Board may determine at or after grant, for a period expiring on the earliest to occur of (i) such time as may be specified by the Board at or after the time of grant, or (ii) if not specified
by the Board, then 90 days from the date of termination of service, or (iii) the expiration of the stated term of such Option. 
 Section
7.    Restricted Stock. 
 (a)    Issuance. Restricted Stock may be issued either
alone or in conjunction with other Awards. The Board will determine the time or times within which Restricted Stock may be subject to forfeiture, and all other conditions of such Awards. 

(b)    Awards and Certificates. The Award Agreement evidencing the grant of any Restricted Stock will contain
such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Board deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. The prospective recipient of an Award of Restricted Stock will not have any rights with respect to such
Award, unless and until such recipient has delivered to the Corporation an executed Award Agreement and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award. The purchase price for Restricted Stock may, but need not, be
zero. 
 A share certificate will be issued in connection with each Award of Restricted Stock. Such certificate will be registered in
the name of the Participant receiving the Award, and will bear the following legend and/or any other legend required by (i) this Plan, the Award Agreement, a Stockholders’ Agreement, or any other agreement governing the issuance of such Award
of Restricted Stock, or (ii) by applicable law:

 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT THEREFROM UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. 
 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, REPURCHASE RIGHTS, AND/OR
FORFEITURE CONDITIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE SMART SAND, INC. 2012 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN, A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, AND/OR A STOCKHOLDERS’ (OR SIMILAR) AGREEMENT(S), COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION
AND WILL BE FURNISHED UPON REQUEST TO THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. 
 Share certificates evidencing
Restricted Stock will be held in custody by the Corporation or in escrow by an escrow agent until the restrictions thereon have lapsed. As a condition to any Restricted Stock Award, the Participant may be required to deliver to the Corporation
a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award.

Conditions. The Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Section 7 will be subject to the following restrictions and conditions, and any other restrictions and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement: 

(i)    During a period commencing with the date of an Award of Restricted Stock and ending at such time or times as
specified by the Board (the “Restriction Period ”), the Participant will not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. The Board
may condition the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock upon the continued employment or service of the recipient, the attainment of specified individual or corporate performance goals, or such other factors as the Board may determine, in its
sole and absolute discretion. 
 (ii)    Except as provided in this Paragraph (ii) or Section 7(c)(i), once the
Participant has been issued a certificate or certificates for Restricted Stock, the Participant 

  
 9 

 
will have, with respect to the Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation, including the right to vote the Shares, and the right to receive any cash distributions or
dividends. Any distributions or dividends paid in the form of securities with respect to Restricted Stock will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid, including, without
limitation, the same Restriction Period. 
 (iii)    Subject to the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement, if a
Participant’s service with the Corporation and its Affiliates terminates prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period, all of that Participant’s Restricted Stock which then remain subject to forfeiture will then be forfeited
automatically. 
 (iv)    If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock
subject to such Restriction Period (or if and when the restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock lapse pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof), the certificates for such Shares will be replaced with new certificates, without the restrictive
legends described in Section 7(b) hereof applicable to such lapsed restrictions, and such new certificates will be promptly delivered to the Participant, the Participant’s representative (if the Participant has suffered a Disability), or
the Participant’s estate or heir (if the Participant has died). 
 Section 8.    Amendments and
Termination. The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan at any time, but except as otherwise provided in Section 3(d) of the Plan, no amendment, alteration or discontinuation will be made which (i) would impair the rights of
a Participant with respect to an Award, without that Participant’s consent, or (ii) would (a) increase the total number of Shares reserved for the purposes of the Plan (except as otherwise provided in Section 3(c) hereof), or (b) change
the Persons or class of Persons eligible to receive Awards, without the approval by the stockholders of the Corporation within 365 days of the date on which such amendment is adopted by the Board in a manner consistent with Section 1.422-5 of the
Treasury Regulations. 
 Section 9.    General Provisions. 

(a)    The Board may require each Participant to represent to and agree with the Corporation in writing that the
Participant is acquiring securities of the Corporation for investment purposes and without a view to distribution thereof and as to such other matters as the Board believes are appropriate. The certificate evidencing any Award and any
securities issued pursuant thereto may include any legend which the Board deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer and compliance with applicable securities laws. 

(b)    All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan will be subject to such share-transfer
orders and other restrictions as the Board may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any other
applicable federal or state securities laws, and the Board may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

  
 10 

 (c)    Nothing contained in the Plan will prevent the Board from adopting
other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

(d)    Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the execution of any document in connection with the Plan will (i) confer upon
any employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate any right to continued employment or engagement with the Corporation or such Affiliate, or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or such Affiliate to terminate the employment of
any of its employees at any time. 
 (e)    No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the
gross income of the Participant for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, the Participant will pay to the Corporation, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Board regarding the payment of, any federal, state or
local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the minimum required withholding obligations may be settled with Shares, including, without limitation, Shares that
are part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. However, any required withholding obligations may not be settled with Shares of Restricted Stock awarded under this Plan. The obligations of the Corporation under the
Plan will be conditioned on such payment or arrangements and the Corporation will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such Social Security contribution and taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the
Participant. 
 Section 10.    Effective Date of Plan. Subject to the approval of the Plan by the
Corporation’s stockholders within 12 months of the Plan’s adoption by the Board, the Plan will become effective on the date that it is adopted by the Board. 

Section 11.    Term of Plan. The Plan will continue in effect until terminated in accordance with Section
8 hereof ; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option will be granted hereunder on or after the 10th anniversary of the date of stockholder approval of the Plan (or, if the stockholders approve an amendment that increases the number of
Shares subject to the Plan, the 10th anniversary of the date of such approval); provided further, that Incentive Stock Options granted prior to such 10th anniversary may extend beyond such date. 

Section 12.    Invalid Provisions. In the event that any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or
otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein as invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions will be given full force and
effect to the same extent as though the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained herein. 
 Section
13.    Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards granted hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws and judicial decisions of the State of Delaware, without regard to the application of the
principles of conflicts of laws of Delaware or any other jurisdiction. 

  
 11 

 Section 14.    Board Action. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in the Plan, any and all actions of the Board or Committee, as the case may be, taken under or in connection with the Plan and any agreements, instruments, documents, certificates or other writings entered into, executed,
granted, issued and/or delivered pursuant to the terms hereof, will be subject to and limited by any and all votes, consents, approvals, waivers or other actions of all or certain stockholders of the Corporation or other Persons required by: 

(a)    the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time);

R E C I T A L S: 

WHEREAS, on May 23, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and stockholders of Smart Sand, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Corporation”), adopted the SMART SAND, INC. 2012 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN (the “Plan”) which reserved 200,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common
Stock”), of the Company for issuance thereunder; 
 WHEREAS, on or about August 1, 2013, the Company effected a reverse stock
split of all of its outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of one thousand to one (1,000:1), resulting in the Corporation’s stockholders receiving one (1) share of Common Stock for every one thousand (1,000) shares of Common Stock owned
as of the effective date of the reverse stock split resulting in the shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan being reduced to two hundred (200) Shares; and 

WHEREAS, the Board and stockholders of the Corporation have authorized amendments to the Plan to, among other things, increase the number of
Shares the Corporation is authorized to issue under the Plan from two hundred (200) Shares to four hundred (400) Shares. 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Plan is hereby amended as follows: 
 Section 1.    Amendments to the
Plan. 
 A.    Section 3(a) of the Plan is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

“(a)    Shares Subject to the Plan. The Shares to be subject to Options or Restricted Stock under the Plan
will be authorized and unissued Shares of the Corporation, whether or not previously issued and subsequently acquired by the Corporation. The maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Options or Restricted Stock under the Plan is four
hundred (400). The Corporation will reserve for the purposes of the Plan, out of its authorized and unissued Shares, such number of Shares.” 

B.    The third sentence of Section 9(e) of the Plan is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 “However, any required withholding obligations may not be settled with Shares of Restricted
Stock awarded under this Plan for which the Restricted Period has not expired.” 
 Section 2.    Effectiveness
of Amendments. Upon adoption of this Amendment, the Plan shall thereupon be deemed to be amended as set forth in Section 1 above as fully and with the same effect as if such Amendments were set forth in the Plan, and this Amendment
and the Plan shall henceforth respectively be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument. All reference in the Plan to “this Plan” or “the Plan” shall be deemed to be references to the Plan as amended and
modified by this Amendment. Except as specifically stated herein, all terms, covenants and conditions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

ADOPTED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SMART SAND, INC. ON JUNE 10, 2014 AND BY THE STOCKHOLDERS OF SMART SAND, INC. ON JUNE 10,
