    (h)    [reserved]
    (i)    On or after the Applicable Time there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on the Exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (iv) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or (v) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (iv) or (v) in the Representatives’ judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus;

9.    (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any road show, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any road show or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.
(b)    Each of the Selling Stockholders will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any road show or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any road show or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Stockholder Information; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or
28



defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any road show in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.
(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such Selling Stockholder may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any road show, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any road show, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information; and will reimburse the Company and each Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. As used in this Agreement with respect to an Underwriter and an applicable document, “Underwriter Information” shall mean the written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: (i) the names of the Underwriters appearing on the front and back cover pages of the Prospectus, (ii) the names of the Underwriters set forth in the table of Underwriters in the first paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)”, (iii) the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the third paragraph under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)”, and (iv) the information concerning stabilization and the option to purchase additional shares in the eighteenth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)”.
(d)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified
29



party otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any one action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties except to the extent that (i) local counsel or counsel with specialized expertise (in addition to any regular counsel) is required to effectively defend against any such action or proceeding; (ii) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary; (iii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iv) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (v) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
30



respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand (provided that, with respect to the Selling Stockholders, such determination shall be limited by reference to only the Selling Stockholder Information) or the Underwriters on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The liability of each Selling Stockholder under this Section 9(e) shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate public offering price (less underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) of the Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder under this Agreement.
(f)    The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each employee, officer and director of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer or other affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Act.

10.    (a)    If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares that it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for the Representatives or another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within thirtysix hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be entitled to a further period of thirtysix hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company and the Selling Stockholders that the Representatives have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company or a Selling Stockholder notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, the Representatives or the Company or the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the Representatives’ opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.
(b)    If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives, the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed oneeleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to require each nondefaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each nondefaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
(c)    If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives, the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds oneeleventh of the aggregate number of all of the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require nondefaulting Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to a Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
32



11.    The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any director, officer, employee, affiliate or controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of any Selling Stockholder, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
12.    If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason (other than those set forth in subsections (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 8(i) hereof) any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided herein, or the Underwriters decline to purchase the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the Representatives for all reasonable and documented outofpocket expenses approved in writing by the Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.
13.    In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representatives jointly or by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC on behalf of the Representatives as the Representatives; and in all dealings with any Selling Stockholder hereunder, the Representatives and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling Stockholder made or given by any or all of the AttorneysinFact for such Selling Stockholder.

    Re: Robinhood Markets, Inc. – Lock-Up Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    The undersigned understands that you, as representatives (the “Representatives”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) on behalf of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I to such agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), with Robinhood Markets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Selling Stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) named in Schedule II to such agreement, providing for a public offering (the “Public Offering”) of the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

    In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the shares of Class A Common Stock, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period beginning from the date of this letter (this “Lock-Up Agreement”) and continuing to but excluding the date that is (a) in the case of shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Company’s Tranche I convertible notes (including any shares of Class A Common Stock into which such Tranche I convertible notes are converted prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Public Offering that are held by the undersigned and its affiliates) (the “Tranche I Convert Shares”), the earlier of (x) 28 days after the effective date of the resale registration statement on Form S-1 filed by the Company in respect of such shares and (y) the Lock-Up Outside Date (as defined below), and (b) in the case of all other shares, the 181st day after the date of the final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) used to sell the shares of Class A Common Stock in the Company’s initial public offering (the date of such




Prospectus, the “Public Offering Date”) or such earlier date as may be agreed between the Representatives and the Company and disclosed in the Prospectus, subject to earlier termination as set forth in the paragraphs below (such date, the “Lock-up Outside Date” and such period, the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned shall not, and shall not cause or direct any of its affiliates to, (1) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly) any shares of Class A Common Stock or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Class A Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock (including the Class B common stock of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”)) (such options, warrants or other securities, collectively, “Derivative Instruments”), including without limitation any such shares or Derivative Instruments now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned (collectively, the “Securities”), (2) engage in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) which is designed to effect or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition (whether by the undersigned or someone other than the undersigned), or transfer of any of the economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of the Securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any such sale, loan, pledge or other disposition, or transfer of economic consequences, a “Transfer”), or (3) otherwise publicly announce any intention to engage in or cause any Transfer (except for Transfers permitted under this Lock-Up Agreement). The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is not, and has not caused or directed any of its affiliates to be or become, currently a party to any agreement or arrangement that provides for, is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in any Transfer during the Lock-Up Period (other than Transfers that are expressly permitted by this Lock-Up Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, if the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed or other shares of Class A Common Stock the undersigned may purchase in the Public Offering. If more than one natural person or entity is listed as a signatory to this Lock-Up Agreement, the term “undersigned” as used herein shall refer collectively to all such natural persons and entities, and the number and percentages of shares of Common Stock and Derivative Instruments, as the case may be, that are held by such natural persons and entities, shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the applicability of any of the restrictions set forth herein, release or waiver therefrom, or termination thereof, as applicable.

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lock-Up Agreement, (a) nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement (including the restrictions set forth herein) shall apply to 50% of the Tranche I Convert Shares held by the undersigned, if any, and (b) with respect to the remaining 50% of the Tranche I Convert Shares held by the undersigned, if any, nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement (including the restrictions set forth herein) shall prevent the undersigned from exercising their rights to request that the Company register any Tranche I Convert Shares under any registration statement(s) on Form S-1 as described in the Prospectus.

    [Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reported closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) is at least 33% greater than the initial public offering price per share set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus both (a) on the date that is the later of (i) the first full Trading Day immediately following the Company’s public release of quarterly financial results (which for this purpose does not include “flash” numbers or preliminary, partial earnings) for the first




quarter following the most recent period for which financial statements are included in the Prospectus (the “First Earnings Release”) and (ii) the 90th day (or, if such 90th day is not a Trading Day, then the first Trading Day after such 90th day) after the date of the Prospectus (such later date, the “Pricing Condition Measurement Date”) and (b) for at least 9 of the 14 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the Pricing Condition Measurement Date, then the undersigned may Transfer up to 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock comprising or underlying (as applicable) the outstanding Securities held, as of the Public Offering Date (but after giving effect to the sale of Class A Common Stock in the Public Offering by the Selling Stockholders), by the undersigned, with such 5% calculated after excluding any shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company for taxes upon the vesting and settlement of any IPO-Vesting Time-Based RSUs and IPO-Vesting Market-Based RSUs (in each case, as defined in the Prospectus), on or after the later of (A) the second Trading Day following the First Earnings Release and (B) the 91st day after the Public Offering Date; provided, that (x) the Company shall announce any impending release pursuant to this paragraph by press release through a major news service at least two business days before effectiveness of such release and (y) any such release shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release (such later date, as extended by the foregoing proviso, the “First Earnings-Related Release Date”).]1

    [Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the reported closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) is at least 33%, but less than 50%, greater than the initial public offering price per share set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus (the “Public Offering Price”) both (i) on the date that is the later of (A) the first full Trading Day immediately following the Company’s public release of quarterly financial results (which for this purpose does not include “flash” numbers or preliminary, partial earnings) for the first quarter following the most recent period for which financial statements are included in the Prospectus (the “First Earnings Release”) and (B) the 90th day (or, if such 90th day is not a Trading Day, then the first Trading Day after such 90th day) after the date of the Prospectus (such later date, the “Pricing Condition Measurement Date”) and (ii) for at least 9 of the 14 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the Pricing Condition Measurement Date, then the undersigned may sell up to 10% of the shares of Common Stock comprising or underlying (as applicable) the Securities (provided that, for purposes of this 10% calculation and the 20% calculation below, “Securities” shall not include the Company’s Tranche I convertible notes, Tranche II convertible notes or warrants or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof) held, as of the Public Offering Date, by the undersigned (the “Outstanding Share Ownership”), on or after the later of (1) the commencement of trading on the full second Trading Day following the First Earnings Release and (2) the 91st day after the Public Offering Date (such later date, the “First Earnings-Related Release Date”); or (b) if the reported closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq is at least 50% greater than the Public Offering Price both (i) on the Pricing Condition Measurement Date and (ii) for at least 9 of the 14 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the Pricing Condition Measurement Date, then the undersigned may Transfer up to 20% of the Outstanding Share Ownership, on or after the First Earnings-Related Release Date.]2

    [Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may Transfer (a) up to 15% of the total number of shares of Common Stock comprising or underlying (as applicable) the outstanding Securities held by the undersigned as of the Public Offering Date (the “Outstanding Share Ownership”), with such 15% calculated after excluding any shares of Common Stock withheld by the

    If the undersigned is not a natural person, the undersigned represents and warrants that no single natural person, entity or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act (as defined below)), other than a natural person, entity or “group” (as described above) that has executed a Lock-Up Agreement in substantially the same form as this Lock-Up Agreement, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the common equity interests, or 50% or more of the voting power, in the undersigned.

    If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (a) the Representatives agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of shares of Common Stock in accordance with clause (xv) below, the Representatives will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (b) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Representatives hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (i) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (ii) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Lock-Up Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

    [If, during the Lock-Up Period, any of the lock-up restrictions set forth above for shares of Common Stock are discretionarily released, waived or terminated by the Representatives in accordance with clause (xv) below with respect to any of the securities of any Holder (as defined below), executive officer of the Company, director of the Company or beneficial owner, as of the date set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus, of more than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on an as-converted, fully diluted basis (it being agreed that, for purposes of determining record or beneficial ownership of a stockholder on such basis (a “fully diluted basis”), all shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (but excluding the Company’s convertible notes and warrants and shares issued or issuable upon conversion of exercise thereof) held by investment funds affiliated with such stockholder shall be aggregated) (a “1% Holder”) in connection with a transfer or other disposition of Common Stock, the Representatives will be deemed to have also released, waived or terminated, as applicable, for the undersigned, on the same terms, the prohibitions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement that would otherwise have applied to the undersigned with respect to the same percentage of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock as the percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such release, waiver or termination bears to the total number of shares held by the executive officer, director, or 1% Holder, as applicable, receiving the release, waiver or termination. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply (1) to releases, waivers or terminations granted to any individual party by the Representatives in an amount less than or equal to shares of Common Stock representing 1% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of release, waiver or termination (calculated

on a fully diluted basis); (2) if the release, waiver or termination is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Lock-Up Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of such transfer; (3) if the Representatives determine that a holder of Common Stock should be granted an early release, waiver or termination due to circumstances of an emergency or hardship; or (4) if the release, waiver or termination is granted in connection with a follow-on public offering of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, provided in the case of this clause (4) that the undersigned has (A) the right to and has been given the opportunity to participate in such follow-on public offering under the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement by and among the Company and the other parties thereto, dated August 13, 2020 (the “IRA”) or other agreement between the undersigned and the Company and (B) declined to so participate. For purposes of this paragraph, “Holder” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the IRA. In the event of any release, termination or waiver pursuant to this paragraph, the Representatives shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prompt notice of such release, termination or waiver to the Company; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not give rise to any claim or liability against the Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to release any shares issued upon conversion or exercise of the Company’s convertible notes or warrants.]2
