Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of the Deferred Units or any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Deferred Units (in Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units or cash) or subsequent sale of underlying Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units acquired upon settlement.

2.Withholding. The following provisions supplement Section 13 of the main body of this Award Agreement:

The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of anyTax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Deferred Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Deferred Units, the subsequent sale of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any distributions; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Deferred Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability forTax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. If the Participant is subject toTax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company or Affiliate, as applicable, may be required to withhold or account forTax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

A-1

In addition to the withholding methods specified above in this Section 13, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to allTax-Related Items by (i) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units acquired at vesting of the Deferred Units through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent) or (ii) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account forTax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Participant’s jurisdiction(s), in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units. If the obligation forTax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units that would otherwise be transferred or issued pursuant to this Award Agreement, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units subject to the vested Deferred Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units are held back solely for the purpose of paying theTax-Related Items.

The Company may refuse to issue the Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units or deliver the proceeds of the sale of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with theTax-Related Items.

3.Data Privacy. For the purposes of complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, relevant Participants will be provided with separate information in respect of the collection and processing of their personal data.

The Participant hereby explicitly, voluntarily and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any other Plan materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

In addition, the Participant may be subject to tax payments and/or other reporting obligations in connection with any income realized under the Plan, and or from the sale of the underlying Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units.
