(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the grant of the Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future Option or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Option grant and the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the company, the Employer or any Affiliate of the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate of the Company, as applicable, to terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any);
(e)the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(l)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate;
(m)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and
(n)neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise.

10.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
11.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States, the Participant’s country and the designated broker’s country, which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Options) or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., dividend equivalents) under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders placed by the Participant before he or she possessed inside information.  Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities.  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
12.Data Privacy. To the extent recognized by applicable law, the Participant hereby consents to the collection, use, transfer, or other processing of the Participant’s personally identifiable information as described in this Agreement and any other Option grant materials (“Personal Data”) in electronic or other form by and among, as applicable, the Company, its Affiliates, the Employer or other third parties as processors of the Personal Data, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company, with offices located at 41 University Drive, Newtown, Pennsylvania 18940, acts as the controller of this Personal Data, and processes this Personal Data for purposes of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan. The Company protects the Personal Data that it receives in the United States from the European Union via data transfer agreements based on the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission. The Participant can obtain further information about these data transfer agreements by contacting AskDataPrivacy@epam.com.
The Participant understands that the Personal Data may include, but is not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, e-mail 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 Options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor. Such Personal Data will be used by the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company relies on the following legal grounds for processing of Personal Data (i) consent, as permitted by applicable law, (ii) performance of this Agreement with the Participant, (iii) the legitimate interests of the Company, its Affiliates, the Employer or other third parties (such as service providers, consultants, governmental bodies, or courts) where the legitimate interest could be in particular the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, and (iv) for compliance with legal obligations, in particular in the area of labor and employment law, social security and social protection law, data protection and privacy law, tax law, and corporate compliance laws.
The Participant understands that Personal Data will be transferred to UBS Financial Services Inc. or other third parties assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of his or her Personal Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. Where disclosing Personal Data to such third parties, the Company provides appropriate safeguards for protecting the transfer of Personal Data, such as establishing data contractual clauses with third parties based on the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission or relevant

408098220-v3\NA_DMS


supervisory authority. The Participant may request a copy of, or information about, such safeguards by contacting AskDataPrivacy@epam.com.
The Participant may generally request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of his or her Personal Data by contacting AskDataPrivacy@epam.com. The Participant understands that Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. When the Company no longer needs to use the Participant’s Personal Data for the purposes above or does not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, the Company will take reasonable steps to remove it from systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Participant can no longer be identified from it.
Subject to applicable data protection and privacy law, the Participant understands that he or she may view Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to Personal Data or refuse or withdraw the consent herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing AskDataPrivacy@epam.com. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.
In addition to the above, subject to applicable law, the Participant may have the right to (i) request erasure of Personal Data, (ii) request restriction of, or object to, certain uses or processing of Personal Data, (iii) request Personal Data portability, or (iv) lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
The Participant’s provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. If the Participant does not provide the Personal Data and/or consent to the terms of this Section 12, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company may not be able to grant Options or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the collection, use, or otherwise processing of the Participant’s Data prior to the consent withdrawal. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, or to exercise certain additional rights described above, the Participant understands that he or she may contact AskDataPrivacy@epam.com.

ADDENDUM
EPAM SYSTEMS, INC.

GLOBAL NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
FOR SENIOR MANAGERS
Terms and Conditions
This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to the Participant under the Plan if the Participant resides in one of the countries listed below. These terms and conditions are in addition to, or if so indicated, in place of the terms and conditions in the Agreement. If the Participant is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which Participant is currently residing and/or working, or if Participant relocates to another country after the Grant Date, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent these country-specific terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Participant. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.
Notifications
This Addendum also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Addendum as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Participant exercises the Option or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or transferred employment and/or residency after the Grant Date, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant.

For purposes of the Option, the Participant’s Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid, unlawful or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or providing services or the terms of the Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any), will be measured by the date that is the earliest of (i) the date on which the Participant’s employment with the Employer is terminated, or (ii) the date the Participant receives written notice of termination from the Employer, regardless of any period during which notice, pay in lieu of notice or related payments or damages are provided or required to be provided under local law. For greater certainty, the Participant will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting or exercisability for that portion of time before the date on which the Participant’s right to vest or exercise terminates, nor will the Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued vesting during a statutory notice period, the Participant’s right to vest in the Option, if any, will terminate effective upon the expiry of the minimum statutory notice period, but the Participant will not earn or be entitled to pro-rated vesting or exercisability if the vesting date falls after the end of the statutory notice period, nor will the Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.

The Participant further authorizes the Company and any Affiliate and the administrator of the Plan to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. The Participant further authorizes the Employer to record such information and to keep such information in the Participant’s employee file. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant's personal information, including any sensitive personal information, may be transferred or disclosed outside the province of Quebec, including to the U.S. If applicable, the Participant also acknowledges that the Company, the Employer, any Affiliate and UBS Financial Services Inc. may use technology for profiling purposes and to make automated decisions that may have an impact on the Participant or the administration of the Plan.
French Language Documents. A French translation of this Agreement and certain other documents related to the Option will be made available to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, and unless the Participant indicates otherwise, the French translation of this Agreement and the Plan will govern the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
Notifications
Securities Law Notification. The Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. The Stock is currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States of America.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Specified foreign property, including Shares and rights to receive Shares (e.g., Options), must be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, the Options must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if other Shares are also owned, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. Participants should consult a personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.
CHINA

408098220-v3\NA_DMS


The following provisions apply only to Participants who are subject to exchange control restrictions or regulations in the People’s Republic of China (“China”), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
Vesting Schedule and Exercisability of Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement, the Option will not vest and nor be exercisable unless and until the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that all necessary exchange control or other approvals from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) or its relevant branch have been received and remain effective (“SAFE Approval”). In the event that SAFE Approval has not been obtained prior to any scheduled vesting date set forth in Section 2 of the Agreement, the Option will not vest until the seventh day of the month following the month in which SAFE Approval is obtained (the “Actual Vesting Date”). If the Participant experiences a Termination of Service prior to the Actual Vesting Date, the Participant shall not be entitled to vest in any portion of the Option and the Option shall be forfeited without any liability to the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate of the Company.
Method of Payment. The following provision supplements Section 4 of the Agreement:
Due to regulatory requirements, the Participant understands that the Participant will be restricted to the cashless sell-all method of exercise. To complete a cashless sell-all exercise, the Participant understands that the Participant needs to instruct his or her broker to: (i) sell all of the Shares issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to pay the Exercise Price, brokerage fees and any applicable Tax-Related Items; and the remaining proceeds will be remitted to the Participant in accordance with any applicable exchange control laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the restrictions set forth in these Country-Specific Terms for China below under “Exchange Control Requirements.” The Participant agrees to sign any agreement, form and/or consent that may reasonably be requested by the Company (or the Company’s designated broker) to effectuate the cashless exercise of the Options. The Participant will not be permitted to hold Shares after exercise. Depending on the development of local laws or the Participant’s country of residence, the Company reserves the right to modify the methods of exercising the Option and, in its sole discretion, to permit cash exercise, cashless sell-to cover exercise or any other method of exercise and payment of Tax-Related Items permitted under the Plan.
Treatment of Options Upon Termination of Service. Due to exchange control regulations in China, the Participant understands and agrees that the Company may require the exercise of the Options immediately following the Participant’s Termination of Service, or within such other period as determined by the Company or required by SAFE or its local counterpart, but in no event shall such period be later than the period provided in Section 5 of the Agreement. This includes any portion of the Options that vest upon the Participant’s Termination of Service.
Exchange Control Requirements. The Participant understands and agrees that, to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements, the Participant is required to immediately repatriate to China the Share sale proceeds from the cashless exercise of Options. The Participant further understands that such repatriation of the sale proceeds will be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Affiliates, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that the proceeds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Participant. The Company may deliver the proceeds to the Participant in United States dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in United States dollars, the Participant understands that he or she will be required to set up a United States dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to the Participant and due to fluctuations in the Share trading price and/or the United States dollar/PRC exchange rate between the sale/payment date and (if later) when the proceeds can be converted into local currency, the proceeds that the Participant receives may be more or less than the market value of the Shares on the sale/payment date (which is the amount relevant to determining the Participant’s tax liability). The Participant agrees to bear the risk of any currency fluctuation between the sale/payment date and the date of conversion of the proceeds into local currency. The Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate.

The Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

Securities Law Notification. Warning: This is an offer of rights to receive Shares underlying the Option upon exercise. The Option gives the Participant a stake in the ownership of the Company.
If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Participant will be paid only after all creditors have been paid. A Participant may lose some or all of his or her investment.
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme. As a result, the Participant may not be given all the information usually required. The Participant will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
The Participant should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing himself or herself.
The Shares are quoted or approved for trading on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if the Participant exercises the Option and Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant can sell his or her investment on the New York Stock Exchange if there are buyers for it. If the Participant sells his or her investment, the price he or she receives may vary depending on factors such as the financial condition of the Company. The Participant may receive less than the full amount that he or she paid for it, if anything.
