CREDO TECHNOLOGY GROUP HOLDING LTD.
2021 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
[NON-QUALIFIED][INCENTIVE] STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
The Participant named in the attached Notice of [Non-Qualified][Incentive] Stock Option Award (the “Notice”) has been granted an Award of [Non-Qualified][Incentive] Stock Options (the “Option”) pursuant to the Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), the Notice and this [Non-Qualified][Incentive] Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of [●], 202[●], between the Participant and Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (the “Company”). Except as otherwise indicated, any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.
1.Ordinary Shares Subject to Option; Exercise Price. The Option shall entitle the Participant to purchase from the Company, upon exercise, a number of Ordinary Shares as set forth in the Notice, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. The exercise price of the Option is set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”). The Option is not intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. 
2.Vesting Dates. Subject to Section 5, the Option shall vest and become exercisable on the dates set forth in the Notice.
3.Option Term. 
(a)The term of the Option shall expire at close of the principal stock market or exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are quoted or traded on the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant set forth in the Notice (the “Expiration Date”), unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement or the Plan.  In no event may any portion of the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date.
(b)Upon the Expiration Date, if all or any portion of the Option has not yet been exercised and if the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share as of such date is greater than the sum of the Exercise Price and any applicable transaction fees, then the Company will (i) effect a “net exercise” of the Option under which the Company will reduce the number of Ordinary Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon such exercise by the number of Ordinary Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals the sum of the aggregate Exercise Price and the withholding obligations with 
2

regard to all Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 8(a)) or (ii) unless the Participant is then covered by Section 16 of the Exchange Act, effectuate an exercise of the Option through a procedure whereby irrevocable instructions are delivered to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to sell Ordinary Shares obtained upon exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of the proceeds of such sale equal to the sum of the aggregate Exercise Price and the withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items. In the event of such exercise and sale, the Company may determine, in its discretion, whether to (x) simultaneously sell the Ordinary Shares remaining following such exercise and sale, in which case the Company will remit the net proceeds from such sale to the Participant or (y) issue the remaining Ordinary Shares upon such exercise and sale to the Participant. If the Expiration Date is scheduled to occur during a restricted trading period (as defined in the Company’s insider trading policy) and the Participant is then subject to such restricted trading period and is not covered by Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company may effect such exercise and sale on behalf of the Participant on the last trading day prior to the start of such restricted trading period. 
4.Option Exercise. 
(a)To the extent that the Option has become vested and exercisable with respect to a number of Ordinary Shares, the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the Expiration Date (or, if earlier, the applicable date determined in accordance with Section 5). 
(b)To exercise the Option, the Participant must:
(i)deliver to the Company a written notice specifying the number of Ordinary Shares to be purchased; and
(ii)remit the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company in full, payable in the manner determined by the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion, which may include: (A) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (B) through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to sell Ordinary Shares obtained upon exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Exercise Price; (C) by a “net exercise” under which the Company reduces the number of Ordinary Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon such exercise by the number of Ordinary Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals the aggregate Exercise Price; or (D) any other method acceptable to the Committee.
5.Termination of Service. 
(a)Other Than For Cause or Due to Death or Disability. In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than (x) by the Company for Cause or (y) due to death or Disability, (i) any unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited and (ii) the Participant may exercise any vested portion of the Option until 90 days after the date of such Termination of Service (or, if earlier, the Expiration Date).
3

(b)Due to Death or Disability. In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service due to death or Disability, (i) any unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited and (ii) the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary, if applicable) may exercise any vested portion of the Option until the first anniversary of the date of such Termination of Service (or, if earlier, the Expiration Date). 
(c)For Cause. In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company for Cause, the entire Option, whether vested or unvested, will be forfeited.
(d)As used herein, “Disability” has the meaning set forth in the Participant’s Service Agreement, if any, or, if not so defined, means any physical or mental disability or infirmity that has at the time of termination already rendered the Participant incapable, with reasonable accommodation, of performing the Participant’s usual and customary duties for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days during any twelve (12) month period.
6.Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Option will be treated in accordance with Section 12(c) of the Plan.
7.Voting Rights. The Participant shall have no voting rights or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Option unless and until the Participant becomes the record owner of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Option. 
8.Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including but not limited to the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of Ordinary Shares acquired on exercise of the Option; and (ii) does not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or its respective agents, at its discretion, to satisfy its withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items in the manner determined by the Company from time to time, which may include: (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company, (ii) requiring the Participant to remit the 
4

aggregate amount of such Tax-Related Items to the Company in full, in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (iii) through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to sell Ordinary Shares obtained upon exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of the proceeds of such sale equal to the amount of the Tax-Related Items; (iv) by a “net exercise” under which the Company reduces the number of Ordinary Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon exercise of the Option by the number of Ordinary Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals the amount of the Tax-Related Items; or (v) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law.
(c)Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent number of Ordinary Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Ordinary Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Ordinary Shares subject to the exercised portion of the Option, notwithstanding that a number of the Ordinary Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. 
(d)Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Ordinary Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 
9.Not Salary, Pensionable Earnings or Base Pay. The Participant acknowledges that the Option shall not be included in or deemed to be a part of (a) salary, normal salary or other ordinary compensation, (b) any definition of pensionable or other earnings (however defined) for the purpose of calculating any benefits payable to or on behalf of the Participant under any pension, retirement, termination or dismissal indemnity, severance benefit, retirement indemnity or other benefit arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate or (c) any calculation of base pay or regular pay for any purpose, except as required by applicable law.
10.Cancellation/Clawback. The Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant and the Option are subject to the terms and conditions of Section 18  (Cancellation or “Clawback” of Awards) of the Plan.
11.Provisions of Plan Control. This Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, including the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. If and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.
