Eligible Directors (as defined below) on the board of directors (the “Board”) of Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. (the “Company”) shall be eligible to receive cash and/or equity compensation as set forth in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (this “Program”). The cash and equity compensation described in this Program shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically as set forth herein and without further action of the Board, to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any of its parents or subsidiaries (each, an “Eligible Director”), subject to any additional eligibility requirements provided for in this Program, unless such member is determined by the Board to not be an Eligible Director or unless such Eligible Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation by written notice to the Company.

This Program shall become effective upon the closing of the initial public offering of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Effective Date”) and shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. This Program may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time in its sole discretion. No Eligible Director shall have any rights hereunder, except with respect to equity awards granted pursuant to Section 2 of this Program.

a. Annual Retainers. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, each Eligible Director who is “independent” within the meaning of the applicable stock exchange rules and not affiliated with The Cynosure Group, LLC and its affiliates (an “Independent Eligible Director”) shall be eligible to receive an annual cash retainer of $50,000 for service on the Board.

b. Payment of Retainers. The annual cash retainer described in Section 1(a) shall be earned on a quarterly basis based on a calendar quarter and shall be paid by the Company in arrears not later than 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter. In the event an Independent Eligible Director does not serve as a director for an entire calendar quarter, the retainer paid to such Independent Eligible Director shall be prorated for the portion of such calendar quarter actually served as a director.

a. General. Eligible Directors shall be granted the equity awards described below without further action from the Board. The awards described below shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2025 Incentive Award Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (such plan, as may be amended from time to time, the “Equity Plan”) and may be granted subject to the execution and delivery of award agreements, including attached exhibits, in substantially the forms approved by the Board prior to or in connection with such grants.
