EARLY EXERCISE
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
UNDER THE RUBRIK, INC.
2014 STOCK OPTION AND GRANT PLAN
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan.
1. Vesting, Exercisability and Termination.
(a) This Stock Option shall be immediately exercisable, regardless of whether the Shares are vested.
(b) Except as set forth below, and subject to the determination of the Committee in its sole discretion to accelerate the vesting schedule hereunder, the Shares shall be vested on the respective dates indicated below:
(i) All Shares shall initially be unvested.
(ii) The Shares shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice.
(c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee, if the Optionees Service Relationship is terminated, the period within which to exercise this Stock Option will be subject to earlier termination as set forth below (and if not exercised within such period, shall thereafter terminate subject, in each case to Section 3(c) of the Plan):
(i)Termination Due to Death or Disability. If the Optionees Service Relationship terminates by reason of such Optionees death or Disability, this Stock Option may continue to be exercised, to the extent the Shares are vested on the date of termination, by the Optionee, the Optionees legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or Disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.
(ii) Other Termination. If the Optionees Service Relationship terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Stock Option may continue to be exercised, to the extent the Shares are vested on the date of termination, for a period of 90 days from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier; provided however, if the Optionees Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, this Stock Option shall terminate immediately upon the date of such termination.

Any portion of this Stock Option with respect to Shares that are not vested on the date of termination of the Service Relationship shall terminate immediately and be null and void.
2
(d) It is understood and intended that this Stock Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under applicable law. Accordingly, the Optionee understands that in order to obtain the benefits of an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, no sale or other disposition may be made of Shares for which incentive stock option treatment is desired within the one-year period beginning on the day after the day of the transfer of such Shares to him or her, nor within the two-year period beginning on the day after Grant Date of this Stock Option and further that this Stock Option must be exercised within three months after termination of employment as an employee (or 12 months in the case of death or disability) to qualify as an incentive stock option. If the Optionee disposes (whether by sale, gift, transfer or otherwise) of any such Shares within either of these periods, he or she will notify the Company within 30 days after such disposition. The Optionee also agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning any such dispositions required by the Company for tax purposes. Further, to the extent this Stock Option and any other incentive stock options of the Optionee having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 (determined as of the Grant Date) first become exercisable in any year, such options will not qualify as incentive stock options.
2. Exercise of Stock Option.

Such notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased. To the extent this Stock Option is only partially exercised, such exercise shall first be with respect to the Shares, if any, that have previously vested, and then with respect to the Shares that will next vest, with the Shares that vest at the latest date being exercised last. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the methods described in Section 5 of the Plan, subject to the limitations contained in such Section of the Plan, including the requirement that the Committee specifically approve in advance certain payment methods.
(b) In the event the Optionee exercises a portion of this Stock Option with respect to Shares that have not vested, the Optionee shall also deliver a Restricted Stock Agreement covering such unvested Shares in the form of Appendix B hereto (the Restricted Stock Agreement) with the same vesting schedule for such Shares as set forth for such Shares herein.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
3. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
4. Transferability of Stock Option. This Stock Option is personal to the Optionee and is not transferable by the Optionee in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

The Optionee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time
3
by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company; such beneficiary may exercise the Optionees Stock Option in the event of the Optionees death to the extent provided herein. If the Optionee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Optionee, the legal representative of the Optionee may exercise this Stock Option to the extent provided herein in the event of the Optionees death.
5. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Shares acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option shall be subject to certain transfer restrictions and other limitations including, without limitation, the provisions contained in Section 9 of the Plan and, if applicable, the Restricted Stock Agreement.
6. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(b) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure.

(f) Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g) Notices.

(c) all decisions with respect to future stock option or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) this Stock Option grant and the Optionees 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 and shall not interfere with the ability of the Service Recipient to terminate the Optionees employment or other service relationship (if any) at any time;
(e) the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(f) this Stock Option and the Shares subject to this Stock Option, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, this Stock Option and the Shares subject to this Stock Option, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Optionee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary or Affiliate;
5
(i) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of this Stock Option or any underlying Shares resulting from (i) the application of any compensation recovery or clawback policy adopted by the Company or required by law, or (ii) the termination of the Optionees Service Relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or otherwise providing services or the terms of the Optionees employment or other service agreement, if any);
(j) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(a) Data Collection and Usage.

The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Optionees consent.
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company will transfer Data to Solium Capital Inc.

The Companys legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the Optionees consent.
(d) Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionees participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws.
(e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary, and the Optionee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Optionee does not consent, or if the Optionee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Optionees salary from or employment and career with the Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Stock Option or other equity awards to the Optionee or administer or maintain such awards.

By accepting this Stock Option and indicating consent via the Companys acceptance procedure, the Optionee is declaring agreement with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned above, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described above.
Finally, the Optionee understands that the Company may rely on a different basis for the processing or transfer of Data in the future and/or request that the Optionee provide another data privacy consent. If applicable, the Optionee agrees that upon request of the Company or the Service Recipient, the Optionee will provide an executed acknowledgement or data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may deem necessary to obtain from the Optionee for the purpose of administering the Optionees participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Optionees country, either now or in the future.

Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.
15. Waiver of Statutory Information Rights. The Optionee understands and agrees that, but for the waiver made herein, the Optionee would be entitled, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, to inspect for any proper purpose, and to make copies and extracts from, the Companys stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records, and the books and records of subsidiaries of the Company, if any, under the circumstances and in the manner provided in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (any and all such rights, and any and all such other rights of the Optionee as may be provided for in Section 220, the Inspection Rights). In light of the foregoing, until the first sale of Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the Optionee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the Inspection Rights, whether such Inspection Rights would be exercised or pursued directly or indirectly pursuant to Section 220 or otherwise, and covenants and agrees never to directly or indirectly commence, voluntarily aid in any way, prosecute, assign, transfer, or cause to be commenced any claim, action, cause of action, or other proceeding to pursue or exercise the Inspection Rights. The foregoing waiver shall not affect any rights of a director, in his or her capacity as such, under Section 220. The foregoing waiver shall not apply to any contractual inspection rights of the Optionee under any other written agreement between the Optionee and the Company.

COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan, the Grant Notice and the Stock Option Agreement to which this Addendum A is attached.
Terms and Conditions
This Addendum A includes additional terms and conditions that govern this Stock Option granted to the Optionee under the Plan if the Optionee resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working and/or residing, transfers to another country after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the special terms and conditions contained herein apply to the Optionee.
Notifications
This Addendum A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date by the time the Optionee exercises this Stock Option or sells the Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained in this Addendum A is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionees particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Optionee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the applicable laws in his or her country may apply to the Optionees situation.
Finally, the Optionee understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee currently resides and/or works, transfers to another country after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not apply to the Optionee in the same manner.

Securities Law Information. Shares acquired under the Plan may not be sold or otherwise disposed of within Canada. The Optionee may sell the Shares acquired under the Plan only, provided the sale of Shares takes place outside of Canada.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Specified foreign property, including shares and rights to receive shares (e.g., stock options, restricted stock units) of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident must generally 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, this Stock Option must be reported (generally at a nil cost) if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property held by the Optionee. 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 the Optionee owns other Shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. The Optionee should consult a personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

JAPAN
Notifications
Exchange Control Information. Japanese residents who acquire Shares valued at more than ¥100,000,000 in a single transaction must file a Securities Acquisition Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan within 20 days of the acquisition.
In addition, if a Japanese resident pays more than ¥30,000,000 in a single transaction for the acquisition of Shares when exercising this Stock Option, he or she must file a Payment Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan within 20 days of the date the payment is made. The precise reporting requirements vary depending on whether or not the relevant payment is made through a bank in Japan.
A Payment Report is required independently of a Securities Acquisition Report; therefore, a Japanese resident must file both a Payment Report and a Securities Acquisition Report if the total amount that he or she pays in a single transaction for exercising this Stock Option and purchasing Shares exceeds ¥100,000,000.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Details of any assets held outside Japan (including Shares acquired under the Plan) as of December 31 of each year must be reported to the tax authorities on an annual basis, to the extent such assets have a total net fair market value exceeding ¥50,000,000.

NEW ZEALAND
Notifications
A-7
WARNING: The Optionee is being offered Stock Options which allow him or her to purchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Stock Option Agreement. The Shares, if purchased, give the Optionee a stake in the ownership of the Company and the Optionee may receive a return if dividends are paid. If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Optionee will be paid only after all creditors have been paid. The Optionee may lose some or all of his or her investment.
New Zealand law normally requires persons and entities that offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors 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 Optionee may not be given all the information usually required. The Optionee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
The Optionee should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing to the Stock Options.
For information about potential factors that could affect the Companys business and financial results, the Optionee should refer to the Companys Rule 701 disclosure documents, which include the Companys most recent financial statements. A copy of these documents will be sent to the Optionee free of charge upon request to the Company at [intentionally omitted].

In accepting the Stock Option, the Optionee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that the Optionee has received a copy of the Plan.
Further, the Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to offer participation in the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon certain express assumptions and conditions. Consequently, the Optionee understands that participation in the Plan is granted on the assumption and condition that participation in the Plan and any Shares acquired under the Plan shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Optionee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any rights granted under the Plan shall be null and void.
The Optionee also understands and agrees that any portion of the Stock Option that is unvested will be automatically forfeited, without entitlement to any amount of indemnification, in the event of termination of the Optionees Serve Relationship by any reason, including, but not limited to, resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers Statute, Article 50 of the Workers Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985.

UNITED KINGDOM
Terms and Conditions
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 6 of the Stock Option Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 6 of the Stock Option Agreement, the Optionee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Service Recipient or by Her Majestys Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Optionee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Service Recipient against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Optionees behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision may not apply to the Optionee if the indemnification is viewed as a loan. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Optionee within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute an additional benefit to the Optionee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) may be payable. The Optionee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Service Recipient (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Service Recipient may recover from the Optionee by any of the means referred to in the Plan or Section 6 of the Stock Option Agreement.
Joint Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan, the Optionee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs which may be payable by the Company and/or the Service Recipient in connection with the Stock Option granted under this Agreement, any other Stock Option granted by the Company in the past and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the Service Recipients NICs). Without limitation to the foregoing, the Optionee agrees to enter into a joint election with the Company (the Joint Election), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and to execute any other consents or elections required to
A-11
accomplish the transfer of the Service Recipients NICs to the Optionee. The Optionee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Optionee and any successor to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. The Optionee further agrees that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may collect the Service Recipients NICs from the Optionee by any of the means set forth in Section 6 of the Stock Option Agreement.

Rubrik, Inc.
Attachment 1 to U.K. Section of Addendum A
Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 for full or partial disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003
1. | Between |
The Optionee, who has obtained authorized access to the joint election
and
Rubrik UK Limited, of Company Registration Number 11375501 (who is the Optionees employer).
2. | Purpose of Election |
This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.
The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the relevant income tax and National Insurance contribution (NICs) purposes, the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. Additional income tax will be payable (with PAYE and NICs where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).
Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that Income Tax/NICs that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the Income Tax/NICs due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no income tax/NICs relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner.
3. | Application |
This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the Optionee and applies to:
Number of securities | All securities | |
Description of securities | Shares of common stock of Rubrik, Inc. | |
Name of issuer of securities | Rubrik, Inc. |
To be acquired by the Optionee on or after the date of this Election under the terms of the Rubrik, Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan.
1
4. | Extent of Application |
This election disapplies S.431(1) ITEPA: All restrictions attaching to the securities.
5. | Declaration |
This election will become irrevocable upon the later of its execution or the acquisition (and each subsequent acquisition) of employment-related securities to which this election applies.
In signing or electronically accepting this joint election, we agree to be bound by its terms as stated above.

(d) Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

The Restricted Stock Units are subject to both a time-based vesting condition (the Time Condition) and a performance-based vesting condition (the Performance Condition) described above, both of which must be satisfied prior to the Expiration Date before the Restricted Stock Units will be deemed vested and may be settled in accordance with Paragraph 4 of this Agreement. Each date as of which both the Time Condition and Performance Condition described above have been satisfied with respect to any Restricted Stock Units shall be referred to as a Vesting Date. No Vesting Date shall occur after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Restricted Stock Units have not satisfied both the Time Condition and the Performance Condition, such Restricted Stock Units shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the Expiration Date.
The Committee may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Paragraph 2.
3. Termination of Service Relationship. If the Grantees Service Relationship terminates for any reason (including due to the Grantees death or Disability) prior to the satisfaction of the Time Condition set forth above, any Restricted Stock Units that have not satisfied the Time Condition as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units. Any Restricted Stock Units that have satisfied the Time Condition as of such date shall remain subject to the Performance Condition set forth above, but shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the Expiration Date.
For purposes of this Award, the date of termination of the Grantees Service Relationship shall be considered to occur (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise providing services or the terms of the Grantees employment or service agreement, if any) as of the date the Grantee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee or for which the Grantee otherwise provides services (the Service Recipient) and shall not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Grantees period of service will not include any contractual notice period or any period of garden leave or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise providing services, or the terms of the Grantees employment or service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of this Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).
2
4. Issuance of Shares. As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.
5. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Committee set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan.
6. Restrictions on Transfer. All Shares acquired under this Agreement upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 9 of the Plan.
7. Grantee Representations. In connection with any issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement, the Grantee hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows (to the extent applicable):
(ix) The Grantee is acquiring the Shares for the Grantees own account for investment only, and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof.
(x) The Grantee has had such an opportunity as he or she has deemed adequate to obtain from the Company such information as is necessary to permit him or her to evaluate the merits and risks of the Grantees investment in the Company and has consulted with the Grantees own advisers, at the Grantees own expense, with respect to the Grantees investment in the Company.
(xi) The Grantee has sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the acquisition of the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such acquisition.
(xii) The Grantee can afford a complete loss of the value of the Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of holding such Shares for an indefinite period.
(xiii) The Grantee understands that the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act (it being understood that the Shares are being issued and sold in reliance on the exemption provided in Rule 701 thereunder) or any applicable state securities or blue sky laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or blue sky laws (or exemptions from the registration requirements thereof). The Grantee further acknowledges that certificates representing the Shares will bear restrictive legends reflecting the foregoing and/or that book entries for uncertificated Shares will include similar restrictive notations.
3
(xiv) The Grantee has read and understands the Plan and acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are subject to all of the relevant terms of the Plan, including without limitation, the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 9 of the Plan.
(xv) The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company has a right of first refusal with respect to the Shares pursuant to Section 9(b) of the Plan.
(xvi) The Grantee understands and agrees that the Grantee may not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares for a period of time following the effective date of a public offering by the Company as described in Section 9(f) of the Plan.
8. Responsibility for Taxes.
(e) Regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Service Recipient, 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 Grantees participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee or deemed by the Company or the Service Recipient in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to the Grantee even if legally applicable to the Company or the Service Recipient (Tax-Related Items) is and remains the Grantees responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld, if any, by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantees liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(f) The Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient, as applicable, prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i) withholding from the Grantees wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Service Recipient;
(ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantees behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);
(iii) withholding Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; or
4
(iv) any other method of withholding determined by the Company to be permitted by applicable law;
provided, however, that if the Grantee is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act at the time of the taxable event or tax withholding event, as applicable, then the Committee shall establish the method of withholding from alternatives (i), (iii) and (iv) herein and, if the Committee does not exercise its discretion prior to the applicable withholding event, then the Grantee shall be entitled to elect the method of withholding from the alternatives above.
(g) Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Grantees jurisdiction(s), in which case the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(h) The Grantee agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantees participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to permit the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
9. Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as short-term deferrals as described in Section 409A of the Code.
10. No Obligation to Continue Employment. Neither the Service Recipient nor the Company or any other Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee in employment or service and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall (i) create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company and/or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the Service Recipient to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any time.
11. Nature of Grant. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(n) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(o) the grant of Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;
5
(p) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(q) the Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(r) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(s) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, holiday top-up, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(t) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Grantee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary;
(u) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units or any underlying Shares resulting from (i) the application of any compensation recovery or clawback policy adopted by the Company or required by law, or (ii) the termination of the Grantees Service Relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise providing services or the terms of the Grantees employment or other service agreement, if any);
(v) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; and
(w) neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantees local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to the Grantee pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
12. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan, or the Grantees acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Grantee should consult with personal tax, legal and financial advisors, at Grantees own expense, regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
13. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
14. Data Privacy
6
(g) Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Service Recipient collect, process and use certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantees name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantees favor (Data), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Grantees consent.
(h) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company will transfer Data to Solium Capital Inc. (including its affiliated companies) (collectively, Solium) and to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. (including its affiliated companies) (collectively, E*TRADE), both of whom assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company may select different or additional service providers in the future and share Data with such other provider(s) serving in a similar manner. The Grantee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with Solium and/or E*TRADE, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan.
(i) International Data Transfers. The Company, Solium and E*TRADE are based in the United States. The Grantees country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies only to the extent companies register for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program. The Companys legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the Grantees consent.
(j) Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantees participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws.
(k) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary, and the Grantee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Grantees salary from or employment and career with the Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to the Grantee or administer or maintain such awards.
(l) Data Subject Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantees jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantees jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact the local human resources representative.
7
By accepting the Restricted Stock Units and indicating consent via the Companys acceptance procedure, the Grantee is declaring agreement with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned above, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described above.
Finally, the Grantee understands that the Company may rely on a different basis for the processing or transfer of Data in the future and/or request that the Grantee provide another data privacy consent. If applicable, the Grantee agrees that upon request of the Company or the Service Recipient, the Grantee will provide an executed acknowledgement or data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may deem necessary to obtain from the Grantee for the purpose of administering the Grantees participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Grantees country, either now or in the future. The Grantee understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if he or she fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Service Recipient.
15. Language. The Grantee acknowledges and represents that he or she is proficient in the English language or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms of this Agreement and any other documents related to the Plan. If the Grantee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
16. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Grantee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and, if different, the Grantees country, the Grantees brokers country and/or the country in which Shares may be listed, if applicable, which may affect the Grantees ability to accept or otherwise acquire, or sell, attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of, Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., the Restricted Stock Units) under the Plan or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., phantom awards, futures) during such times as the Grantee is considered to have inside information regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdiction) or the trade in Shares or the trade in rights to Shares under the Plan. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Grantee placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, the Grantee could be prohibited from (1) disclosing the inside information to any third party and (2) tipping third parties or otherwise causing them to buy or sell securities; third parties include fellow employees or service providers. 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. It is the Grantees responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and the Grantee should speak to a personal advisor on this matter.
17. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements and Exchange Controls. Certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls may affect the Grantees ability to acquire or hold Shares or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on or sales proceeds arising from the sale of Shares acquired
8
under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Grantees country. The Grantee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Grantees country and/or to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participation in the Plan to the Grantees country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. It is the Grantees responsibility to comply with such regulations, and the Grantee should consult a personal legal advisor for any details.
18. Addendum A. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for Non-U.S. Grantees, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the special terms and conditions for the Grantees country set forth in Addendum A. Moreover, if the Grantee relocates from one of the countries included in Addendum A to another country included in Addendum A, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Grantee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Addendum A constitutes part of this Agreement.
19. Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.
20. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of California.
22. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or the Restricted Stock Units, this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the J.A.M.S. Rules). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Santa Clara County, CA.
(b) The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right,
9
and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a partys witness or expert. The arbitrators decision and award shall be made and delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrators decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
(c) The Company, the Grantee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a Party) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Paragraph 22 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
(d) Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.
23. Waiver of Statutory Information Rights. The Grantee understands and agrees that, but for the waiver made herein, the Grantee would be entitled, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, to inspect for any proper purpose, and to make copies and extracts from, the Companys stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records, and the books and records of subsidiaries of the Company, if any, under the circumstances and in the manner provided in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (any and all such rights, and any and all such other rights of the Grantee as may be provided for in Section 220, the Inspection Rights). In light of the foregoing, until the first sale of Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the Grantee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the Inspection Rights, whether such Inspection Rights would be exercised
10
or pursued directly or indirectly pursuant to Section 220 or otherwise, and covenants and agrees never to directly or indirectly commence, voluntarily aid in any way, prosecute, assign, transfer, or cause to be commenced any claim, action, cause of action, or other proceeding to pursue or exercise the Inspection Rights. The foregoing waiver shall not affect any rights of a director, in his or her capacity as such, under Section 220. The foregoing waiver shall not apply to any contractual inspection rights of the Grantee under any other written agreement between the Grantee and the Company.
24. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantees participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
25. Waiver. The Grantee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Grantee or any other grantee.
26. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

Addendum A
COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan and the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for Non-U.S. Grantees (the Award Agreement) to which this Addendum A is attached.
Terms and Conditions
This Addendum A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee under the Plan if the Grantee resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee is currently working and/or residing, transfers to another country after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the special terms and conditions contained herein apply to the Grantee.
Notifications
This Addendum A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of November 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date by the time the Grantee receives Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or sells the Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained in this Addendum A is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantees particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the applicable laws in his or her country may apply to the Grantees situation.
Finally, the Grantee understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee currently resides and/or works, transfers to another country after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not apply to the Grantee in the same manner.
AUSTRIA
Notifications
Exchange Control Information. If the Grantee is an Austrian resident and holds Shares outside Austria (even if held with an Austrian bank), the Grantee must submit a report to the Austrian National Bank. An exemption applies if the value of the Shares as of any given quarter does not meet or exceed 30,000,000 or as of December 31 does not meet or exceed 5,000,000. If the
13
former threshold is exceeded, quarterly obligations are imposed, whereas if the latter threshold is exceeded, annual reports must be submitted. The deadline for filing the quarterly report is the 15th day of the month following the end of the respective quarter and the deadline for filing the annual report is January 31 of the following year.
In addition, exchange control reporting obligations may apply if the Grantee holds cash accounts outside Austria. If the transaction volume of the Grantees cash accounts abroad meets or exceeds 10,000,000, the movements and balances of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the 15th day of the following month. If the transaction value of all cash accounts abroad is less than 10,000,000, no ongoing reporting requirements apply.
BELGIUM
Notifications
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Grantee is required to report any securities (e.g., Shares acquired under the Plan) or bank accounts established outside Belgium on his or her annual tax return. In a separate report, Belgium residents are also required to provide the National Bank of Belgium with account details of any such foreign accounts (including the account number, bank name and country in which any such account is located). This report, as well as additional information on how to complete it, can be found on the website of the National Bank of Belgium, www.nbb.be, under Kredietcentrales / Centrales des crédits caption. The Grantee should consult a personal tax advisor with respect to the applicable reporting obligations.
Brokerage Account Tax. A brokerage account tax may apply if the average annual value of the securities the Grantee holds (e.g., Shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or other securities account exceeds certain thresholds.
Stock Exchange Tax. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax may apply to transactions under the Plan, such as the sale of Shares acquired at settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax advisor for additional details on his or her obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
CANADA
Terms and Conditions
Issuance of Shares. The following provision supplements Paragraph 4 of the Award Agreement:

Securities Law Information. Shares acquired under the Plan may not be sold or otherwise disposed of within Canada. The Grantee may sell the Shares acquired under the Plan provided the sale of such Shares takes place outside of Canada.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Specified foreign property, including Shares and rights to receive Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident must generally 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 Restricted Stock Units must be reported (generally at a nil cost) if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property held by the Grantee. 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 the Grantee owns other Shares, whether such shares are acquired inside and/or outside of the Plan, the ACB of the Shares acquired at settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Grantee should consult a personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

New Zealand law normally requires persons and entities that offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors 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 Grantee may not be given all the information usually required. The Grantee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
The Grantee should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing to the Restricted Stock Units.
For information about potential factors that could affect the Companys business and financial results, the Grantee should refer to the Companys Rule 701 disclosure documents, which include the Companys most recent financial statements.

Issuance of Shares. The following provision supplements Paragraph 4 of the Award Agreement:
The grant of the Restricted Stock Units does not provide any right for the Grantee to receive a cash payment and the Restricted Stock Units will be settled in Shares only.
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement:
Without limitation to Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement, the Grantee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Service Recipient or by Her Majestys Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Grantee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Service Recipient against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Grantees behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act) at the time of the taxable event, the terms of the immediately foregoing provision may not apply to the Grantee if the indemnification is viewed as a loan. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Grantee within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute an additional benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance
22
Contributions (NICs) may be payable. The Grantee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Service Recipient (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Service Recipient may recover from the Grantee by any of the means referred to in the Plan or Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement.
Joint Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan, the Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs which may be payable by the Company and/or the Service Recipient in connection with the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement, any other Restricted Stock Units granted by the Company in the past and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the Service Recipients NICs). Without limitation to the foregoing, the Grantee agrees to enter into a joint election with the Company (the Joint Election), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and to execute any other consents or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Service Recipients NICs to the Grantee. The Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Grantee and any successor to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. The Grantee further agrees that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may collect the Service Recipients NICs from the Grantee by any of the means set forth in Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement.
If the Grantee does not enter into a Joint Election, or if approval of the Joint Election has been withdrawn by HMRC, the Company, in its sole discretion and without any liability to the Company or the Service Recipient, may choose not to issue or deliver any Shares to the Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
Section 431 Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan and the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee agrees that, jointly with the Service Recipient, he or she will enter into a joint election within Section 431 of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA 2003) in respect of computing any tax charge on the acquisition of Restricted Securities (as defined in Sections 423 and 424 of ITEPA 2003), and that the Grantee will not revoke such election at any time.

Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 for full or partial disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003
1. Between
The Grantee, who has obtained authorized access to the joint election
and
Rubrik UK Limited, of Company Registration Number 11375501 (who is the Grantees employer).
2. Purpose of Election
This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.
The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the relevant income tax and National Insurance contribution (NICs) purposes, the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. Additional income tax will be payable (with PAYE and NICs where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).
Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that Income Tax/NICs that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the Income Tax/NICs due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no income tax/NICs relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner.
3. Application
This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the Grantee and applies to:
Number of securities | All securities | |
Description of securities | Shares of common stock of Rubrik, Inc. | |
Name of issuer of securities | Rubrik, Inc. |
To be acquired by the Grantee on or after the date of this Election under the terms of the Rubrik, Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan.
24
4. Extent of Application
This election disapplies S.431(1) ITEPA: All restrictions attaching to the securities.
5. Declaration
This election will become irrevocable upon the later of its execution or the acquisition (and each subsequent acquisition) of employment-related securities to which this election applies.
In signing or electronically accepting this joint election, we agree to be bound by its terms as stated above.

(the Company) hereby grants an award of the number of Restricted Stock Units listed above (an Award) to the Grantee named above. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall relate to one share of Common Stock, par value $0.000025 per share, (the Stock) of the Company.
Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
1
1. General Restrictions on Transfer of Award. This Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, and any Shares issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement and (ii) Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.
2. Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to both a time-based vesting condition (the Time Condition) and a performance-based vesting condition (the Performance Condition) described above, both of which must be satisfied prior to the Expiration Date before the Restricted Stock Units will be deemed vested and may be settled in accordance with Paragraph 4 of this Agreement. Each date as of which both the Time Condition and Performance Condition described above have been satisfied with respect to any Restricted Stock Units shall be referred to as a Vesting Date. No Vesting Date shall occur after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Restricted Stock Units have not satisfied both the Time Condition and the Performance Condition, such Restricted Stock Units shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the Expiration Date.
The Committee may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Paragraph 2.
3. Termination of Service Relationship. If the Grantees Service Relationship terminates for any reason (including due to the Grantees death or Disability) prior to the satisfaction of the Time Condition set forth above, any Restricted Stock Units that have not satisfied the Time Condition as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units. Any Restricted Stock Units that have satisfied the Time Condition as of such date shall remain subject to the Performance Condition set forth above, but shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the Expiration Date.
4. Issuance of Shares. As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.
5. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Committee set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan.
6. Restrictions on Transfer. All Shares acquired under this Agreement upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 9 of the Plan.

7. Grantee Representations. In connection with any issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement, the Grantee hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows (to the extent applicable):
(a) The Grantee is acquiring the Shares for the Grantees own account for investment only, and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof.
(b) The Grantee has had such an opportunity as he or she has deemed adequate to obtain from the Company such information as is necessary to permit him or her to evaluate the merits and risks of the Grantees investment in the Company and has consulted with the Grantees own advisers, at the Grantees own expense, with respect to the Grantees investment in the Company.
(c) The Grantee has sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the acquisition of the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such acquisition.
(d) The Grantee can afford a complete loss of the value of the Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of holding such Shares for an indefinite period.
(e) The Grantee understands that the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act (it being understood that the Shares are being issued and sold in reliance on the exemption provided in Rule 701 thereunder) or any applicable state securities or blue sky laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or blue sky laws (or exemptions from the registration requirements thereof). The Grantee further acknowledges that certificates representing the Shares will bear restrictive legends reflecting the foregoing and/or that book entries for uncertificated Shares will include similar restrictive notations.
(f) The Grantee has read and understands the Plan and acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are subject to all of the relevant terms of the Plan, including without limitation, the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 9 of the Plan.
(g) The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company has a right of first refusal with respect to the Shares pursuant to Section 9(b) of the Plan.
(h) The Grantee understands and agrees that the Grantee may not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares for a period of time following the effective date of a public offering by the Company as described in Section 9(f) of the Plan.
8. Responsibility for Taxes.
(a) Regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee or for which the Grantee otherwise provides services (the Service Recipient), 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 Grantees participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee or deemed by the Company or the Service Recipient in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to the Grantee even if legally applicable to the Company or the Service Recipient (Tax-Related Items) is and remains the Grantees responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld, if any, by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i)
3
make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantees liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b) The Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient, as applicable, prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i) withholding from the Grantees wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Service Recipient;
(ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantees behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);
(iii) withholding Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; or
(iv) any other method of withholding determined by the Company to be permitted by applicable law;
provided, however, that if the Grantee is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act at the time of the taxable event or tax withholding event, as applicable, then the Committee shall establish the method of withholding from alternatives (i), (iii) and (iv) herein and, if the Committee does not exercise its discretion prior to the applicable withholding event, then the Grantee shall be entitled to elect the method of withholding from the alternatives above.
(c) Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Grantees jurisdiction(s), in which case the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
4
(d) The Grantee agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantees participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to permit the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
9. Section 409A of the Code. For U.S. taxpayers only. This Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as short-term deferrals as described in Section 409A of the Code.
10. No Obligation to Continue Employment. Neither the Service Recipient nor the Company or any other Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee in employment or service and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall (i) create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company and/or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the Service Recipient to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any time.
11. Nature of Grant. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b) the grant of Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) the Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, holiday top-up, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(g) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Grantee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary;
5
(h) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units or any underlying Shares resulting from (i) the application of any compensation recovery or clawback policy adopted by the Company or required by law, or (ii) the termination of the Grantees Service Relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise providing services or the terms of the Grantees employment or other service agreement, if any);
(i) for purposes of this Award, the date of termination of the Grantees Service Relationship shall be considered to occur (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise providing services or the terms of the Grantees employment or service agreement, if any) as of the date the Grantee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or the Service Recipient and shall not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Grantees period of service will not include any contractual notice period or any period of garden leave or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise providing services, or the terms of the Grantees employment or service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of this Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);
(j) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; and
(k) if the Grantee is providing services outside the United States, neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantees local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to the Grantee pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
12. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan, or the Grantees acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Grantee should consult with personal tax, legal and financial advisors, at Grantees own expense, regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
13. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
6
14. Addendum A. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions for the Grantees country set forth in Addendum A. Moreover, if the Grantee relocates from one of the countries included in Addendum A to another country included in Addendum A, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Grantee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Addendum A constitutes part of this Agreement.
15. Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.
16. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Grantee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and, if different, the Grantees country, the Grantees brokers country and/or the country in which Shares may be listed, if applicable, which may affect the Grantees ability to accept or otherwise acquire, or sell, attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of, Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., the Restricted Stock Units) under the Plan or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., phantom awards, futures) during such times as the Grantee is considered to have inside information regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdiction) or the trade in Shares or the trade in rights to Shares under the Plan. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Grantee placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, the Grantee could be prohibited from (1) disclosing the inside information to any third party and (2) tipping third parties or otherwise causing them to buy or sell securities; third parties include fellow employees or service providers. 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. It is the Grantees responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and the Grantee should speak to a personal advisor on this matter.
17. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of California.
19. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or the Restricted Stock Units, this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the J.A.M.S. Rules). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Santa Clara County, CA.
7
(b) The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a partys witness or expert. The arbitrators decision and award shall be made and delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrators decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
(c) The Company, the Grantee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a Party) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Paragraph 19 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
(d) Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.
8
20. Waiver of Statutory Information Rights. The Grantee understands and agrees that, but for the waiver made herein, the Grantee would be entitled, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, to inspect for any proper purpose, and to make copies and extracts from, the Companys stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records, and the books and records of subsidiaries of the Company, if any, under the circumstances and in the manner provided in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (any and all such rights, and any and all such other rights of the Grantee as may be provided for in Section 220, the Inspection Rights). In light of the foregoing, until the first sale of Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the Grantee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the Inspection Rights, whether such Inspection Rights would be exercised or pursued directly or indirectly pursuant to Section 220 or otherwise, and covenants and agrees never to directly or indirectly commence, voluntarily aid in any way, prosecute, assign, transfer, or cause to be commenced any claim, action, cause of action, or other proceeding to pursue or exercise the Inspection Rights. The foregoing waiver shall not affect any rights of a director, in his or her capacity as such, under Section 220. The foregoing waiver shall not apply to any contractual inspection rights of the Grantee under any other written agreement between the Grantee and the Company.
21. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantees participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
22. Waiver. The Grantee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Grantee or any other grantee.
23. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
The foregoing Agreement is hereby accepted and the terms and conditions thereof hereby agreed to by the undersigned as of the date first above written.

ADDENDUM A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. GRANTEES
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan and the Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the Award Agreement) to which this Addendum A is attached.
Terms and Conditions
This Addendum A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee under the Plan if the Grantee resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee is currently working and/or residing, transfers to another country after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the special terms and conditions contained herein apply to the Grantee.
Notifications
This Addendum A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of November 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date by the time the Grantee receives Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or sells the Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained in this Addendum A is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantees particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the applicable laws in his or her country may apply to the Grantees situation.
Finally, the Grantee understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee currently resides and/or works, transfers to another country after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not apply to the Grantee in the same manner.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO NON-U.S. GRANTEES
In accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees to the following:
1. Data Privacy.
(a) Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Service Recipient collect, process and use certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantees name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of
11
birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantees favor (Data), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Grantees consent.
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company will transfer Data to Solium Capital Inc. (including its affiliated companies) (collectively, Solium) and to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. (including its affiliated companies) (collectively, E*TRADE), both of whom assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company may select different or additional service providers in the future and share Data with such other provider(s) serving in a similar manner. The Grantee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with Solium and/or E*TRADE, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers. The Company, Solium and E*TRADE are based in the United States. The Grantees country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. The Companys legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the Grantees consent.
(d) Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantees participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws.
(e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary, and the Grantee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Grantees salary from or employment and career with the Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to the Grantee or administer or maintain such awards.
(f) Data Subject Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantees jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantees jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact the local human resources representative.
By accepting the Restricted Stock Units and indicating consent via the Companys acceptance procedure, the Grantee is declaring agreement with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned above, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described above.
12
Finally, the Grantee understands that the Company may rely on a different basis for the processing or transfer of Data in the future and/or request that the Grantee provide another data privacy consent. If applicable, the Grantee agrees that upon request of the Company or the Service Recipient, the Grantee will provide an executed acknowledgement or data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may deem necessary to obtain from the Grantee for the purpose of administering the Grantees participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Grantees country, either now or in the future. The Grantee understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if he or she fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Service Recipient.
2. Language. The Grantee acknowledges and represents that he or she is proficient in the English language or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms of this Agreement and any other documents related to the Plan. If the Grantee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
3. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements and Exchange Controls. Certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls may affect the Grantees ability to acquire or hold Shares or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on or sales proceeds arising from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Grantees country. The Grantee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Grantees country and/or to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participation in the Plan to the Grantees country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. It is the Grantees responsibility to comply with such regulations, and the Grantee should consult a personal legal advisor for any details.
AUSTRIA

Exchange Control Information. If the Grantee is an Austrian resident and holds Shares outside Austria (even if held with an Austrian bank), the Grantee must submit a report to the Austrian National Bank. An exemption applies if the value of the Shares as of any given quarter does not meet or exceed 30,000,000 or as of December 31 does not meet or exceed 5,000,000.

Securities Law Information. Shares acquired under the Plan may not be sold or otherwise disposed of within Canada. The Grantee may sell the Shares acquired under the Plan provided the sale of such Shares takes place outside of Canada.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Specified foreign property, including Shares and rights to receive Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident must generally 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 Restricted Stock Units must be reported (generally at a nil cost) if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property held by the Grantee. 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 the Grantee owns other Shares, whether such shares are acquired inside and/or outside of the Plan, the ACB of the Shares acquired at settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Grantee should consult a personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

Without limitation to Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement, the Grantee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Service Recipient or by Her Majestys Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Grantee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Service Recipient against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Grantees behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act) at the time of the taxable event, the terms of the immediately foregoing provision may not apply to the Grantee if the indemnification is viewed as a loan. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Grantee within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute an additional benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) may be payable. The Grantee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Service Recipient (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Service Recipient may recover from the Grantee by any of the means referred to in the Plan or Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement.
Joint Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan, the Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs which may be payable by the Company and/or the Service Recipient in connection with the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement, any other Restricted Stock Units granted by the Company in the past and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the Service Recipients NICs). Without limitation to the foregoing, the Grantee agrees to enter into a joint election with the Company (the Joint Election), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and to execute any other consents or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Service Recipients NICs to the Grantee. The Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Grantee and any successor to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. The Grantee further agrees that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may collect the Service Recipients NICs from the Grantee by any of the means set forth in Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement.
If the Grantee does not enter into a Joint Election, or if approval of the Joint Election has been withdrawn by HMRC, the Company, in its sole discretion and without any liability to the Company or the Service Recipient, may choose not to issue or deliver any Shares to the Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
Section 431 Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan and the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee agrees that, jointly with the Service Recipient, he or she will enter into a joint election within Section 431 of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA 2003) in respect of computing any tax charge on the acquisition of Restricted Securities (as defined in Sections 423 and 424 of ITEPA 2003), and that the Grantee will not revoke such election at any time.

Rubrik, Inc.
Attachment to U.K. Section of Addendum A
Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 for full or partial disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003
1. Between
The Grantee, who has obtained authorized access to the joint election
and
Rubrik UK Limited, of Company Registration Number 11375501 (who is the Grantees employer).
2. Purpose of Election
This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.
The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the relevant income tax and National Insurance contribution (NICs) purposes, the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. Additional income tax will be payable (with PAYE and NICs where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).
Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that Income Tax/NICs that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the Income Tax/NICs due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no income tax/NICs relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner.
3. Application
This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the Grantee and applies to:
Number of securities | All securities | |
Description of securities | Shares of common stock of Rubrik, Inc. | |
Name of issuer of securities | Rubrik, Inc. |
To be acquired by the Grantee on or after the date of this Election under the terms of the Rubrik, Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan.
26
4. Extent of Application
This election disapplies S.431(1) ITEPA: All restrictions attaching to the securities.
5. Declaration
This election will become irrevocable upon the later of its execution or the acquisition (and each subsequent acquisition) of employment-related securities to which this election applies.
In signing or electronically accepting this joint election, we agree to be bound by its terms as stated above.

2. Kriterier eller betingelser for tildeling af retten til senere at få tildelt aktier

I tilfælde af en konflikt mellem betingelserne i Aftalen og nedenstående opsummering vil det være betingelserne i Aftalen, der regulerer, hvordan dine Betingede Aktieenheder bliver behandlet.
Hvis dit Ansættelsesforhold ophører uanset årsag (herunder som følge af din død eller uarbejdsdygtighed), inden Tidsbetingelsen er opfyldt, vil eventuelle Betingede Aktieenheder, som ikke har opfyldt Tidsbetingelsen på dette tidspunkt, bortfalde automatisk og uden varsel, og hverken du eller dine retsefterfølgere, arvinger, omsætningserhververe eller personlige stedfortrædere vil herefter have nogen rettigheder til eller interesser i disse bortfaldne Betingede Aktieenheder. Eventuelle Betingede Aktieenheder, der ikke har opfyldt Tidsbetingelsen pr. dette tidspunkt, vil fortsat være underlagt Performancebetingelsen, men vil udløbe og ikke længere have retskraft eller virkning på Udløbstidspunktet.

(a) The Grantee is acquiring the Shares for the Grantees own account for investment only, and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof.
(b) The Grantee has had such an opportunity as he or she has deemed adequate to obtain from the Company such information as is necessary to permit him or her to evaluate the merits and risks of the Grantees investment in the Company and has consulted with the Grantees own advisers, at the Grantees own expense, with respect to the Grantees investment in the Company.

3
Recipient in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to the Grantee even if legally applicable to the Company or the Service Recipient (Tax-Related Items) is and remains the Grantees responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld, if any, by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantees liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.

(b) The Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient, as applicable, prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(c) Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Grantees jurisdiction(s), in which case the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
4
(d) The Grantee agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantees participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

11. Nature of Grant. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b) the grant of Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) the Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units or any underlying Shares resulting from (i) the application of any compensation recovery or clawback policy adopted by the Company or required by law, or (ii) the termination of the Grantees Service Relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise providing services or the terms of the Grantees employment or other service agreement, if any);
(i) for purposes of this Award, the date of termination of the Grantees Service Relationship shall be considered to occur (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise providing services or the terms of the Grantees employment or service agreement, if any) as of the date the Grantee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or the Service Recipient and shall not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Grantees period of service will not include any contractual notice period or any period of garden leave or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or otherwise providing services, or the terms of the Grantees employment or service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of this Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);
(j) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; and
(k) if the Grantee is providing services outside the United States, neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantees local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to the Grantee pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
12. No Advice Regarding Grant.

The Grantee understands and agrees that the Grantee should consult with personal tax, legal and financial advisors, at Grantees own expense, regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

ADDENDUM A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. GRANTEES
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan and the Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the Award Agreement) to which this Addendum A is attached.
Terms and Conditions
This Addendum A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee under the Plan if the Grantee resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee is currently working and/or residing, transfers to another country after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the special terms and conditions contained herein apply to the Grantee.
Notifications
This Addendum A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of November 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date by the time the Grantee receives Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or sells the Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained in this Addendum A is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantees particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the applicable laws in his or her country may apply to the Grantees situation.
Finally, the Grantee understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee currently resides and/or works, transfers to another country after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not apply to the Grantee in the same manner.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO NON-U.S. GRANTEES
In accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees to the following:
1. Data Privacy.
(a) Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Service Recipient collect, process and use certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantees name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantees favor (Data), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Grantees consent.
11
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company will transfer Data to Solium Capital Inc. (including its affiliated companies) (collectively, Solium) and to E*TRADE Financial Services, Inc. (including its affiliated companies) (collectively, E*TRADE), both of whom assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company may select different or additional service providers in the future and share Data with such other provider(s) serving in a similar manner. The Grantee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with Solium and/or E*TRADE, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers. The Company, Solium and E*TRADE are based in the United States. The Grantees country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. The Companys legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the Grantees consent.
(d) Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantees participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws.
(e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary, and the Grantee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Grantees salary from or employment and career with the Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to the Grantee or administer or maintain such awards.
(f) Data Subject Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantees jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantees jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact the local human resources representative.
By accepting the Restricted Stock Units and indicating consent via the Companys acceptance procedure, the Grantee is declaring agreement with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned above, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described above.
12
Finally, the Grantee understands that the Company may rely on a different basis for the processing or transfer of Data in the future and/or request that the Grantee provide another data privacy consent. If applicable, the Grantee agrees that upon request of the Company or the Service Recipient, the Grantee will provide an executed acknowledgement or data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may deem necessary to obtain from the Grantee for the purpose of administering the Grantees participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Grantees country, either now or in the future. The Grantee understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if he or she fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Service Recipient.
2. Language. The Grantee acknowledges and represents that he or she is proficient in the English language or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms of this Agreement and any other documents related to the Plan. If the Grantee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
3. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements and Exchange Controls. Certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls may affect the Grantees ability to acquire or hold Shares or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on or sales proceeds arising from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Grantees country. The Grantee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Grantees country and/or to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participation in the Plan to the Grantees country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. It is the Grantees responsibility to comply with such regulations, and the Grantee should consult a personal legal advisor for any details.

Securities Law Information. Shares acquired under the Plan may not be sold or otherwise disposed of within Canada. The Grantee may sell the Shares acquired under the Plan provided the sale of such Shares takes place outside of Canada.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Specified foreign property, including Shares and rights to receive Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident must generally 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 Restricted Stock Units must be reported (generally at a nil cost) if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property held by the Grantee. 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 the Grantee owns other Shares, whether such shares are acquired inside and/or outside of the Plan, the ACB of the Shares acquired at settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Grantee should consult a personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

Nature of Grant. The following provision supplements Paragraph 11 of the Award Agreement:
In accepting the Award, the Grantee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that the Grantee has received a copy of the Plan.
Further, the Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to offer participation in the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon certain express assumptions and conditions. Consequently, the Grantee understands that participation in the Plan is granted on the assumption and condition that participation in the Plan and any Shares acquired under the Plan shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any rights granted under the Plan shall be null and void.
The Grantee also understands and agrees that any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is unvested will be automatically forfeited, without entitlement to any amount of indemnification, in the event of termination of the Grantees Service Relationship by any reason, including, but not limited to, resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers Statute, Article 50 of the Workers Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Service Recipient and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985.

Issuance of Shares. The following provision supplements Paragraph 4 of the Award Agreement:
The grant of the Restricted Stock Units does not provide any right for the Grantee to receive a cash payment and the Restricted Stock Units will be settled in Shares only.
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement:
Without limitation to Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement, the Grantee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Service Recipient or by Her Majestys Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Grantee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Service Recipient against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Grantees behalf.
24
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act) at the time of the taxable event, the terms of the immediately foregoing provision may not apply to the Grantee if the indemnification is viewed as a loan. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Grantee within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute an additional benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) may be payable. The Grantee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Service Recipient (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Service Recipient may recover from the Grantee by any of the means referred to in the Plan or Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement.
Joint Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan, the Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs which may be payable by the Company and/or the Service Recipient in connection with the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement, any other Restricted Stock Units granted by the Company in the past and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the Service Recipients NICs). Without limitation to the foregoing, the Grantee agrees to enter into a joint election with the Company (the Joint Election), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and to execute any other consents or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Service Recipients NICs to the Grantee. The Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Grantee and any successor to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. The Grantee further agrees that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may collect the Service Recipients NICs from the Grantee by any of the means set forth in Paragraph 8 of the Award Agreement.
If the Grantee does not enter into a Joint Election, or if approval of the Joint Election has been withdrawn by HMRC, the Company, in its sole discretion and without any liability to the Company or the Service Recipient, may choose not to issue or deliver any Shares to the Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
Section 431 Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan and the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee agrees that, jointly with the Service Recipient, he or she will enter into a joint election within Section 431 of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA 2003) in respect of computing any tax charge on the acquisition of Restricted Securities (as defined in Sections 423 and 424 of ITEPA 2003), and that the Grantee will not revoke such election at any time. This election will be to treat the Shares acquired pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units as if such Shares were not Restricted Securities (for U.K. tax purposes only). The Grantee must enter into the form of election, which is attached to this Addendum A, concurrent with the execution of the Agreement, or at such subsequent time as may be designated by the Company.
The Grantee will be deemed to have executed the joint election if the Grantee electronically accepts this Agreement pursuant to the Companys instructions to the Grantee (including through an online acceptance process).

Attachment to U.K. Section of Addendum A
Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 for full or partial disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003
1. Between
The Grantee, who has obtained authorized access to the joint election
and
Rubrik UK Limited, of Company Registration Number 11375501 (who is the Grantees employer).
2. Purpose of Election
This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.
The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the relevant income tax and National Insurance contribution (NICs) purposes, the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. Additional income tax will be payable (with PAYE and NICs where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).
Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that Income Tax/NICs that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the Income Tax/NICs due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no income tax/NICs relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner.
3. Application
This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the Grantee and applies to:
Number of securities | All securities | |
Description of securities | Shares of common stock of Rubrik, Inc. | |
Name of issuer of securities | Rubrik, Inc. |
To be acquired by the Grantee on or after the date of this Election under the terms of the Rubrik, Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan.
26
4. Extent of Application
This election disapplies S.431(1) ITEPA: All restrictions attaching to the securities.
5. Declaration
This election will become irrevocable upon the later of its execution or the acquisition (and each subsequent acquisition) of employment-related securities to which this election applies.
In signing or electronically accepting this joint election, we agree to be bound by its terms as stated above.

Denne erklæring indeholder kun de oplysninger, der er nævnt i Aktieoptionsloven, medens de øvrige kriterier og betingelser for din tildeling af Betingede Aktieenheder er beskrevet nærmere i Planen og i Aftalen, som du har fået adgang til.
Ord, der i denne Arbejdsgivererklæring er skrevet med stort begyndelsesbogstav, har den betydning, der er anført i Aftalen eller Planen, medmindre andet er anført i denne Arbejdsgivererklæring.
1. | Tidspunkt for tildeling af en vederlagsfri ret til at modtage aktier mod opfyldelse af visse betingelser |
Tidspunktet for tildelingen af dine Betingede Aktieenheder er den dato, hvor Udvalget godkendte din tildeling og besluttede, at denne skulle træde i kraft.
2. | Kriterier eller betingelser for tildeling af retten til senere at få tildelt aktier |
Tildelingen af Betingede Aktieenheder i henhold til Planen sker efter Selskabets frie skøn. Medarbejderne i Selskabet og i dets Datterselskaber er berettiget til at deltage i Planen. Selskabet kan frit vælge ikke fremover at tildele dig nogen betingede aktieenheder. I henhold til Planen og Aftalen har du hverken ret til eller krav på i fremtiden at få tildelt betingede aktieenheder.
3. | Modningstidspunkt eller -periode |
De Betingede Aktieenheder er underlagt både en Tidsbetingelse og en Performancebetingelse, der begge skal være opfyldt forud for Udløbstidspunktet, før de Betingede Aktieenheder vil blive anset for at være modnet og vil kunne afregnes i overensstemmelse med Aftalen.
Generelt vil 25% af de Betingede Aktieenheder opfylde Tidsbetingelsen på første årsdag for Modningspåbegyndelsestidspunktet, forudsat at du fortsat er i et Ansættelsesforhold frem til dette tidspunkt. Efterfølgende vil de resterende 75% af de Betingede Aktieenheder opfylde Tidsbetingelsen i 12 lige store rater hvert kvartal, forudsat at du fortsat er i et Ansættelsesforhold frem til hver af disse tidspunkter. Dine Betingede Aktieenheder vil ved modningen blive konverteret til et tilsvarende antal Aktier.
De Betingede Aktieenheder opfylder kun Performancebetingelsen ved den førstkommende af følgende hændelser: (i) umiddelbart forud for en Salgshændelse eller (ii) Selskabets Børsintroduktioni begge tilfælde skal hændelsen ske forud for Udløbstidspunktet.
36
4. | Udnyttelseskurs |
Der skal ikke betales nogen udnyttelseskurs i forbindelse med modningen af dine Betingede Aktieenheder og udstedelsen af Aktier til dig i overensstemmelse med den ovenfor beskrevne modningstidsplan.
5. | Din retsstilling i forbindelse med fratræden |
Dine Betingede Aktieenheder vil i tilfælde af dit Ansættelsesforholds ophør blive behandlet i overensstemmelse med fratrædelsesbestemmelserne i Aftalen, hvilke er opsummeret umiddelbart nedenfor. I tilfælde af en konflikt mellem betingelserne i Aftalen og nedenstående opsummering vil det være betingelserne i Aftalen, der regulerer, hvordan dine Betingede Aktieenheder bliver behandlet.
Hvis dit Ansættelsesforhold ophører uanset årsag (herunder som følge af din død eller uarbejdsdygtighed), inden Tidsbetingelsen er opfyldt, vil eventuelle Betingede Aktieenheder, som ikke har opfyldt Tidsbetingelsen på dette tidspunkt, bortfalde automatisk og uden varsel, og hverken du eller dine retsefterfølgere, arvinger, omsætningserhververe eller personlige stedfortrædere vil herefter have nogen rettigheder til eller interesser i disse bortfaldne Betingede Aktieenheder. Eventuelle Betingede Aktieenheder, der ikke har opfyldt Tidsbetingelsen pr. dette tidspunkt, vil fortsat være underlagt Performancebetingelsen, men vil udløbe og ikke længere have retskraft eller virkning på Udløbstidspunktet.
6. | Økonomiske aspekter ved deltagelse i Planen |
Tildelingen af Betingede Aktieenheder har ingen umiddelbare økonomiske konsekvenser for dig. Værdien af de Betingede Aktieenheder indgår ikke i beregningen af feriepenge, pensionsbidrag eller øvrige lovpligtige vederlagsafhængige ydelser.
Aktier er økonomiske instrumenter. Den fremtidige værdi af Aktierne kendes ikke og kan ikke forudsiges med sikkerhed.
