While working you will devote your full time, attention and abilities to the effective and competent performance of your duties and responsibilities and you will give the Company the full benefit of your knowledge, expertise, technical skill and ingenuity. You are required to work such hours as are necessary to properly and effectively perform your duties and this may involve working hours that fall outside your usual working hours.

Your participation in some of the Benefits may be mandatory in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Benefits.

The Company retains the right to establish new Benefits and to eliminate, modify or alter any Benefits or benefit carriers from time to time and at any time in its sole discretion without advance notice. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will continue to apply to you despite any such changes. The Company’s obligations will not be to act as a self-insurer unless otherwise expressly stated in the terms and conditions of the applicable Benefits. The Company will, where applicable, pay premiums to an insurance carrier of its choice.

f)Equity Incentive Plan: You will be eligible to participate in the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (the “Plan”), in accordance with the terms of such Plan. After your employment with the Company has commenced, management of the Company will recommend to the Committee that you receive an equity incentive grant of D-Wave Quantum Inc. of 750,000 restricted stock units on such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee in their sole discretion and which will be subject to approval by the Board.

For this reason, the Company does not want, does not need and will not accept the confidential information or property of any third party, including but not limited to any of your

former employers. You represent and warrant to the Company that by entering into this Agreement with the Company you will not be in breach of any laws or agreement with any third party nor will you be in a position of conflict of interest to any third party. In particular, you represent and warrant to the Company that you are not subject to any law, agreement with or other obligation that would restrict your ability to perform your employment duties to the Company or that would in any way impair the Company’s ownership of the Confidential Information or Property. During your employment with the Company, you are strictly prohibited from using or disclosing to the Company any information that you obtained in confidence from a third party. You understand and agree that any breach of this Section, regardless of the materiality of the breach, will constitute immediate grounds for termination of your employment for cause.

a)The parties acknowledge that the Company’s and its Affiliates’ business is highly competitive and that in the course of your employment you will be privy to Confidential Information and other proprietary information concerning the Company’s and its Affiliates’ business and that the Company’s and its Affiliates’ business would be vulnerable to competition from you.

b)Accordingly, you will not during the term of your employment with the Company and following the date that your employment with the Company ceases (regardless of who initiated the termination and whether the termination was with or without cause), either individually or in partnership, or in conjunction in any way with any other persons, whether as principal, agent, consultant, shareholder, guarantor, creditor, or in any other manner whatsoever:

1)engage in, carry on or otherwise be concerned with or have any interest in, or advise, lend money to, guarantee the debts or obligations of, permit your name, or any part thereof, to be used or employed by any person, firm, association, syndicate or corporation engaged in or concerned with a business competitive with that of the Company or its Affiliates; or

3)solicit, interfere with or endeavor to entice away from the Company or its Affiliates, accept any business from or the patronage of or enter into the employment of or render any service to, sell to or contract or attempt to contract with, any person, firm, or corporation who was, during the term of your employment, a customer or supplier of the Company or its Affiliates, or a prospective customer or supplier of the Company or its Affiliates.

d)You agree and acknowledge that this covenant is given for good and valuable consideration (receipt of which is hereby acknowledged) and that by reason of your unique knowledge of and association with the business of the Company and its Affiliates, the scope of this covenant as to both time and area is reasonable and commensurate with the protection of the legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates. Section 6 of this Agreement applies regardless of the reason for your cessation of employment from the Company, and is severable from the other provisions of this Agreement.

e)When your employment with the Company terminates, you agree to notify any subsequent employer of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section and your continuing obligations not to or disclose the Company’s Confidential Information. In addition, you authorize the Company to provide notice of your continuing obligations regarding the Company’s Information to third parties, including but not limited to, your subsequent, anticipated or possible future employer.

f)The parties agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction will limit, restrict or otherwise change the time period or the types of business referred to in this Section, then the limited, restricted or changed time period or types of business determined by such a court will, for the purposes of this Section 6, be deemed to be the original time period and/or types of business referred to in such Sections as if they were the original time period and business set out herein.

8.Resignation: You can resign from employment with the Company by providing to the Company four (4) weeks’ prior written notice of your resignation. The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to not require that you attend work for any portion of this four (4) week notice period in which case your Salary would continue for the balance of the notice period and your benefits would, at the option of the Company, cease effective on your last day of work.

No representative of the Company, other than the CEO has the authority to change the “at-will” status of any employee, and in order to be effective, the change must be in writing.

(ii)at any time, terminate your employment pursuant to this Agreement at its sole discretion for any reason, without cause, by providing you with twelve (12) months’ Base Salary as a lump sum payment, twelve months’ Base Salary continuance, or a combination of the two, on the express condition that on or about the effective date of any such termination you sign and do not thereafter revoke the Company’s standard form of release of any claims or entitlements from or against the Company arising from or related to your hiring, benefits, employment or the termination of your employment, whether pursuant to statute, contract, tort, common law, or otherwise. By way of example, and for purposes of clarity, the provision of two (2) months Base Salary continuance and ten (10) months Base Salary as a lump sum payment will be in compliance with this Agreement. Base Salary continuance will be in semi-monthly instalments on the same schedule as the regular Company payroll. The provision of Base Salary as a lump sum payment, payment of Base Salary continuance, or combination of the two will be in satisfaction of all rights and claims, either under statue or common law, that you may have arising from your employment and the termination of employment.

c)Change of Control: Notwithstanding Section 9(c), in the event that a Change of Control of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (as defined in the Plan) occurs and your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause during the twelve (12) month period following the Change in Control, on the express condition that on or about the effective date of any such termination you sign and do not thereafter revoke the Company’s standard form of release of any claims or entitlements from or against the Company arising from or related to the termination of your employment, whether pursuant to statute, contract, tort, common law, or otherwise, that portion of the awards granted to you under the Plan which would, but for your termination, have

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, discussions, undertakings, representations, warranties and understandings, whether written or oral, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, between you and the Company. You hereby waive any right to assert a claim in tort based on any pre-contractual representations, negligent or otherwise, made by the Company.

Addresses for notice may be changed by giving notice in accordance with this Section.

15.Non-waiver: No failure or delay by you or the Company in exercising any power or right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such power or right. Any consent or waiver by you or by the Company to any breach or default under this Agreement will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

17.Collection and Use of Personal Information: You acknowledge that the Company will, and hereby consent to the Company collecting, using and disclosing personal information about you where reasonably necessary for security, employment and business purposes in accordance with applicable legislation and any privacy policy of the Company that may be in effect from time to time.

I, SOPHIE AMES, acknowledge that I have read and reviewed and I have had an opportunity to ensure that I clearly understand the terms and conditions of the Signing Bonus being offered to me. I agree that if I resign or should the Company terminate my employment for cause within one year from my employment start date with the Company, the Company may deduct the Signing Bonus from my final pay, and that if there is a shortfall between my final pay and the Signing Bonus, I will immediately repay the shortfall to the Company.

1.Purpose. The purpose of this D-Wave Quantum Inc. (the “Company”) Clawback Policy (the “Policy”) is to provide for the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement (as defined below). This Policy is designed to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent with, Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”) and New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual Section 303A.14 (the “Listing Rule”).

2.Policy Administration; Effective Date; Retroactive Application. This Policy shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). The Committee is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations it deems necessary, appropriate or advisable for the administration of this Policy and for the Company’s compliance with the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 and the Listing Rule in connection with this Policy. Any determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding on all affected individuals. This Policy shall be effective as of October 2, 2023 (the “Effective Date”). The terms of this Policy shall apply to any Incentive-Based Compensation that is received by Executive Officers on or after the Effective Date.

•“Accounting Restatement” means an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements (commonly, a “Big R” restatement), or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (commonly, a “little r” restatement).

•“Accounting Restatement Date” means the earlier to occur of: (a) the date the Board, a committee of the Board, or the officer or officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement; and (b) the date a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement.

•“Applicable Period” means the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Accounting Restatement Date, as well as any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years (except that a transition period that comprises a period of at least nine months shall count as a completed fiscal year).

•“Code” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to a section of the Code or regulation thereunder includes such section or regulation, any valid regulation or other official guidance promulgated under such section and any comparable provision of any future legislation or regulation amending, supplementing or superseding such section or regulation.

•“Erroneously Awarded Compensation” means, in the event of an Accounting Restatement, the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation received that exceeds the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that otherwise would have been received had such Incentive-Based Compensation been determined according to the Accounting Restatement and must be computed without regard to any taxes paid by the relevant Executive Officer. For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or total stockholder return, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an Accounting Restatement: (i) the amount of Erroneously Awarded

Compensation must be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or total stockholder return upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received; and (ii) the Company must maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the Stock Exchange.

•“Executive Officers” means the Company’s president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president of the Company in charge of a principal business unit, division or function (such as sales, administration or finance), any other officer who performs a significant policy-making function or any other person who performs similar significant policy-making functions for the Company. An executive officer of the Company’s parent or subsidiary is deemed an Executive Officer if they perform significant policy-making functions for the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, from time to time and in its sole discretion, that any other officer, director or employee of the Company, or any other person who receives Incentive-Based Compensation from the Company, is subject to this Policy.

•“Financial Reporting Measure” means measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from such measures. For the avoidance of doubt, stock price and total shareholder return are Financial Reporting Measures, and a Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented within the financial statements or included in a filing with the Commission.

•“Incentive-Based Compensation” means any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure. Incentive-Based Compensation is received for purposes of this Policy in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period. For clarity, this Policy does not apply to (i) compensation that is granted, earned or vested based solely on the passage of time, continued employment, or satisfaction of one or more strategic measures (e.g. consummating a merger or divestiture) or operational measures (e.g. completion of a project, increase in market share), (ii) base salary, or (iii) discretionary cash bonuses that are awarded solely at the discretion of the Board so long as the compensation described in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph were not based on the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure.

4.Policy Application. This Policy applies to Incentive-Based Compensation received by a person (a) after beginning services as an Executive Officer, (b) who served as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for such Incentive-Based Compensation, (c) while the Company had a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or a national securities association and (d) during the Applicable Period.

5.Required Recoupment; Accounting Restatement. In the event of an Accounting Restatement, the Company shall reasonably promptly recover the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation as determined in accordance with this Policy. Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy is required without regard to whether any misconduct occurred or an Executive Officer’s responsibility or oversight (or lack thereof) for the erroneous financial statements leading to an Accounting Restatement.

6.Erroneously Awarded Compensation: Amount Subject to Recovery. The amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation subject to recovery under this Policy, as determined by the Committee, is the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation received by an Executive Officer that exceeds the amount the Executive Officer would have received had the Incentive-Based Compensation been determined based on the Accounting Restatement. For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, the Company shall use a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the applicable measure to determine the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation to be recovered.

The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the appropriate means of recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, taking into account all applicable facts and circumstances, including the time value of money and the cost to shareholders of delaying recovery. To the extent that an Executive Officer fails to repay to the Company when due any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation subject to recovery under this Policy, the Company shall take all actions reasonable and appropriate to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation from such Executive Officer.

a.The direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered. Before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on expense of enforcement, the Company must make a reasonable attempt to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation, document such reasonable attempt(s) to recover and provide that documentation to the Stock Exchange;

b.Recovery would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022. Before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on violation of home country law, the Company must obtain an opinion of home country counsel, acceptable to the Stock Exchange, that satisfies the applicable opinion and disclosure requirements of Rule 10D-1 and the Listing Rule and provide such opinion to the Stock Exchange; or

7.No Indemnification of Executive Officers. The Company is prohibited from indemnifying any Executive Officer or former Executive Officer against the loss of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, including any payment or reimbursement for the cost of third-party insurance purchased by any Executive Officers to fund potential obligations under this Policy.

10.Amendment; Termination. The Committee may amend, modify, supplement, rescind or replace all or any portion of this Policy from time to time in its sole discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary to comply with applicable law or any rules or standards adopted by the Stock Exchange. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary, no amendment or termination of this Policy shall be effective if such amendment or termination would (after taking into account any actions taken by the Company contemporaneously with such amendment or termination) cause the Company to violate any federal securities laws, Commission rules, or Stock Exchange rules.

11.Other Recoupment Rights. The Board intends that this Policy shall be applied to the fullest extent of the law. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company under applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any similar policy in any employment agreement, equity award agreement or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company.

In the event of any inconsistency between the Policy and the terms of any employment agreement to which I am a party with D-Wave Quantum Inc. or any of its subsidiaries, including any employment agreement no longer in effect that is covered by the lookback period described in the Policy, or the terms of any compensation plan, program or agreement under which any compensation has been granted, awarded, earned or paid, the terms of the Policy shall govern.
