(together with its Subsidiaries, whether existing or thereafter acquired or formed, and any and all successor entities, the “Company”) has granted the Participant an Option (the “Option”) under the Bowlero Corp. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the number of Shares indicated in the Grant Notice. The Option represents the right to purchase the number of Shares indicated in the Grant Notice, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan. The Option is granted to the Participant effective as of the Date of Grant. Capitalized terms not defined in this Award Agreement or in the Grant Notice but defined in the Plan will have the same definitions as in the Plan.

1.Vesting; Exercise.

(a)Vesting. The Option will vest and become exercisable as follows:

(i)Tranche 1 will vest and become exercisable in one-half installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Date of Grant.

(ii)Tranche 2 will vest and become exercisable in one-half installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Date of Grant.

(iii)Tranche 3 will vest and become exercisable in one-half installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Date of Grant.

(b)Method of Exercise and Form of Payment.  No Shares will be delivered pursuant to any exercise of the Option until the Participant has paid in full to the Company the exercise price and an amount equal to any U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld. The Option may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company or its designee (including a third-party administrator) in accordance with the terms hereof. The exercise price and all applicable required withholding taxes will be payable (i) in cash, check, cash equivalent and/or in shares of Common Stock valued at the Fair Market Value at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of shares in lieu of actual delivery of such shares to the Company); provided that such shares are not subject to any pledge or other security interest, (ii) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, subject to the Company’s Securities Trading Policy and applicable law, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the exercise price and all applicable required withholding taxes, or (iii) by such other method as the Committee may permit, including without limitation: (A) in other property having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price and all applicable required withholding taxes or (B) by means of a “net exercise” procedure effected by withholding the minimum number of Shares otherwise deliverable in respect of an Option that are needed to pay for the exercise price and all applicable required withholding taxes. Any fractional Shares resulting from the application of this Section 1(b) will be settled in cash.

2.Termination of Employment.

(a)Subject to Section 2(b), if the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates at any time, the unvested portion of the Option will be canceled immediately and the Participant will not be entitled to receive any payments with respect thereto.

(b)If, during the Change in Control Period, the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (and other than due to the Participant’s death or Disability), or as a result of a resignation by the Participant for Good Reason, the Option will become fully vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to such termination. “Change in Control Period”, “Cause” and “Good Reason” have the meanings assigned to them in the Employment Agreement, dated as of [●], by and between the Company and the Participant.

(a)Option Period. In no event will all or any portion of the Option be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant (such ten-year period, the “Option Period”); provided, that if the Option Period would expire at a time when trading in the Shares is prohibited by the Company’s Securities Trading Policy (or a Company-imposed “blackout period”), the Option Period will be automatically extended until the 30th day following the expiration of such prohibition (so long as such extension will not violate Section 409A of the Code).

(b)Post-Termination Exercise.

(i)If, prior to the end of the Option Period, the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for any reason, then the Option will expire on the earlier of the last day of the Option Period and the date that is 90 days after the date of such termination; provided, however, that if the Participant is subsequently rehired, reappointed or reengaged by the Company or any Affiliate within 90 days following such termination and prior to the expiration of the Option, the Participant will not be considered to have undergone a termination of employment.

(ii)If (A) the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the end of the Option Period on account of the Participant’s Disability, (B) the Participant dies while still employed by the Company or (C) the Participant dies following a termination described in subsection (A) above but prior to the expiration of the Option, the Option will expire on the earlier of the last day of the Option Period and the first anniversary of the date of death or termination on account of Disability, as applicable.

(iii)If the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Option will expire immediately on such termination.

4.Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant will have no voting rights with respect to the Option unless and until the Participant becomes the record owner of the Shares subject to the Option.

5.Tax Withholding. The Participant will be solely responsible for any applicable taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise taxes) and penalties, and any interest that accrues thereon, that the Participant incurs in connection with the receipt, vesting or exercise of the Option. Without limiting Section 1(b), the Company will be authorized to withhold from the Option the amount (in cash or Shares, or any combination thereof) of applicable withholding taxes due in respect of the Option, its exercise or any payment or transfer under the Option and to take such other action (including providing for elective payment of such amounts in cash or other property by the Participant) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all

obligations for the payment of such taxes; provided, however, that no Shares will be withheld with a value exceeding the maximum statutory rates in the applicable tax jurisdictions.

6.Clawback; Forfeiture; Detrimental Conduct. The Option will be subject to the clawback, forfeiture and detrimental conduct provisions set forth in Section 14(t) of the Plan.

7.No Repricing. The Option will be subject to the prohibition on repricing set forth in Section 13(b) of the Plan.

(a)Compliance with Legal Requirements. The granting of the Option, and any other obligations of the Company under this Award Agreement, will be subject to all applicable U.S. federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, all applicable non-U.S. laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Participant agrees to take all steps that the Committee or the Company determines are reasonably necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of U.S. federal and state securities law and non-U.S. securities law in exercising the Participant’s rights under this Award Agreement.

(b)Transferability. The Option will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 14(b) of the Plan.

(c)Participant’s Employment or Other Service Relationship. Nothing in the Option will confer upon the Participant any right to continue the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates or stockholders, as applicable, to terminate the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or its Affiliates or to increase or decrease the Participant’s compensation at any time. The grant of the Option is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive any other grant of other Awards under the Plan in the future. The grant of the Option does not form part of the Participant’s entitlement to compensation or benefits in terms of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or its Affiliates.

(d)Waiver. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Award Agreement will be effective unless signed in writing by or on behalf of the Company and the Participant, except that the Company may amend or modify this Award Agreement without the Participant’s consent in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or as otherwise set forth in this Award Agreement. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Award Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition whether of like or different nature. Any amendment or modification of or to any provision of this Award Agreement, or any waiver of any provision of this Award Agreement, will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

This Award Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the provisions of this Award Agreement will be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and this Award Agreement will be operated accordingly.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under this Award Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed, and in no event will the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes,

penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
