2.5Restrictions on Exercise.

As a condition to the exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall execute the subscription form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, confirming and acknowledging that the representations and warranties of the original Holder set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement are true and complete in all material respects as of the date of exercise.

X = Y*(A-B)

whereX =
the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to Holder pursuant to a net exercise of this Warrant effected pursuant to this Section 2.6.

A =
the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock, determined at the time of such net exercise as set forth in Section 2.6.2.

2.6.2For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that, if on the relevant exercise date for which such value must be determined, there is a public market for the Company’s Common Stock, then the fair market value per share of the Warrant Stock shall be determined by reference to the market price of the Common Stock as follows:
(a)if the Warrant is being exercised in connection with an IPO, the fair market value shall be the per-share offering price to the public as set forth in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission;
5


(b)if the Warrant is being exercised in connection with a Direct Listing, the fair market value shall be the per share volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the three-day trading period starting on the first date of trading of the Common Stock on the stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed in connection with a Direct Listing;
(c)if the Warrant is being exercised in connection with a De-SPAC, the fair market value shall be the pro forma enterprise value minus debt of the De-SPAC Entity at the time of the De-SPAC divided by the pro forma fully diluted shares of the De-SPAC Entity, subject to adjustment as provided in the relevant merger agreement; or
(d)otherwise, the fair market value shall be the average of (i) the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or (ii) the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the principal nationally recognized exchange in the United States on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published on the website of such exchange for the five (5) trading days prior to (and excluding) the date as of which the fair market value is to be determined.
3.ISSUANCE OF STOCK. Except as set forth in Section 4, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business (4:00 p.m., San Francisco time) on the date that the Warrant is surrendered for exercise and payment has been made as provided above, and the Person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As soon as practicable on or after such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same either (a) a certificate or certificates or (b) book-entry interests through the facilities of a depositary, in either case representing the number of whole shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with payment in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.4.
4.EXERCISES IN CONNECTION WITH CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.

This Warrant shall survive a Change of Control or an IPO; provided, however, that in the event of a Cash/Public Stock Change of Control, then upon the effective date of such Cash/Public Stock Change of Control, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed net exercised in full pursuant to Section 2.6 above.
5.ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS. The number and character of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and/or the Warrant Price therefor, are subject to
6


adjustment upon each event in Sections 5.1 through 5.4 occurring between the date this Warrant is issued and the earlier of the time that it is exercised in full or the Expiration Date:
5.1Adjustments Prior to a Qualifying IPO. The Warrants shall be subject to the following adjustments at any time from and after the date this Warrant is issued and prior to a Qualifying IPO:
(a)Adjustment for Stock Splits and Stock Dividends. Prior to a Qualifying IPO, the Qualifying Financing Cap Price Per Share and the Mandatory Cap Price Per Share shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock.
(b)Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable with respect to the Warrant Stock that is payable in (a) securities of the Company (other than issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.3) or (b) assets (other than cash) which dividend or distribution is actually made (each a “Dividend Event”), then, and in each such case, Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after such Dividend Event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock, the securities or such other assets of the Company that would have been payable to Holder if Holder had completed such exercise of this Warrant, immediately prior to such Dividend Event.
5.2Adjustments After a Qualifying IPO. Following a Qualifying IPO, the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment as set forth on Exhibit 2.
5.3Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. (a) In case of any recapitalization or reorganization of the Company or (b) in case the Company shall consolidate with or merge into one or more other corporations or entities which results in a change of the Warrant Stock (each, a “Reorganization Event”; provided that a Reorganization Event shall exclude a Cash/Public Stock Change of Control), then, and in each such case, Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant after such Reorganization Event shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property that Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such exercise prior to such Reorganization Event, the stock or other securities or property which Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such Reorganization Event if, immediately prior to such Reorganization Event, Holder had completed such exercise of this Warrant, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following the consummation of such Reorganization Event, if the holders of Common Stock (or, if applicable, such other securities as are of the same class as the Warrant Stock) have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Reorganization Event, then the composition of the securities and property that Holder will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant following any such Reorganization Event shall be deemed to be the weighted average per share of Common Stock (or, if applicable, such other securities as are of the same class as the Warrant Stock) of the types and amounts of consideration actually received
7


by the holders of Common Stock (or, if applicable, such other securities as are of the same class as the Warrant Stock). If after such Reorganization Event, the Warrant is exercisable for securities of a corporation or entity other than the Company, then such corporation or entity shall duly execute and deliver to Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation’s or other entity’s obligations under this Warrant; and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such Reorganization Event.
5.4Conversion of Stock. In case all (a) the authorized Warrant Stock is converted, exchanged, reclassified, redesignated or reconstituted pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, including any successive such transactions with respect thereto, into Common Stock or any other securities or property, or (b) the Warrant Stock otherwise ceases to exist or to be authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (each, a “Stock Event”), then Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after such Stock Event, shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Stock Event, the stock and other securities and property that Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the Stock Event, if, immediately prior to such Stock Event, Holder had completed such exercise of this Warrant.
5.5Notice of Adjustments. The Company shall promptly give written notice of each adjustment under Section 5 of the Warrant Price, the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Qualifying Financing Cap Price Per Share or the Mandatory Cap Price Per Share. The notice shall describe the adjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based.
5.6No Change Necessary. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Warrant Price or in the number or type of shares of Warrant Stock or other property issuable upon its exercise.
6.OTHER DILUTIVE EVENTS. Prior to a Qualifying IPO, if any event shall occur as to which the provisions of this Warrant are not strictly applicable but with respect to which the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the anti-dilution rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with its essential intent and principles, then the Company and Holder agree that they shall cooperate in good faith to determine an appropriate adjustment to the terms of this Warrant on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Warrant, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant.
7.NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any Warrant Stock to exceed the
8


amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue the Warrant Stock and (c) will not take any action that results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of any class or series of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after such action would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, as applicable, then authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation and available for the purpose of issuance upon such exercise.
8.PROVISIONS RELATING TO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.
8.1“Market Stand-Off” Agreement. With respect to the Warrant Stock, Holder hereby agrees that it will be bound by the obligations contained in Section 2.11 of that certain Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2020, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto, as in effect on such date, as if Holder was a party thereto.
8.2No Voting or Other Rights. This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company, unless and until (and only to the extent that) this Warrant is actually validly exercised for shares of the Company’s capital stock in accordance with its terms. In the absence of valid exercise of this Warrant, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall cause Holder to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose.
9.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDER AND COMPANY
In order to induce the Company to issue this Warrant to the original Holder, the original Holder has made representations and warranties to the Company as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

9


preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant; it being understood and agreed that any Qualifying Financing Securities will not be so authorized or reserved until the time of the Next Financing. If at any time during the exercise period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Warrant Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company take such corporate action and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required shareholder approval as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Warrant Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

Market Price” means, with respect to the Common Stock, on any given day, the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, of the shares of the Common Stock on the Relevant Exchange on such day. If the Common Stock is not listed on the Relevant Exchange on any date of determination, the Market Price of the Common Stock on such date of determination means the closing sale price as reported in the composite transactions for the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is so listed or quoted, or, if no closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price on the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is so listed or quoted, or, if the Common Stock is not so listed or quoted on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, the last quoted bid price for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by Pink Sheets LLC or a similar organization, or, if that bid price is not available, the Market Price of the Common Stock on that date shall mean the Fair Market Value per share as determined by the Board of Directors in reliance on an opinion of a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose. For the purposes of determining the Market Price of the Common Stock on the “trading day” preceding, on or following the occurrence of an event, (i) that trading day shall be deemed to commence immediately after the regular scheduled closing time of trading on the Relevant Exchange or, if trading is closed at an earlier time, such earlier time and (ii) that trading day shall end at the next regular scheduled closing time, or if trading is closed at an earlier time, such earlier time (for the avoidance of doubt, and as an example, if the Market Price is to be determined as of the last trading day preceding a specified event and the closing time of trading on a particular day is 4:00 p.m. and the specified event occurs at 5:00 p.m. on that day, the Market Price would be determined by reference to such 4:00 p.m. closing price).
Ordinary Cash Dividends” means a regular quarterly cash dividend, consistent with the Company’s then-current dividend policy, on shares of Common Stock out of surplus or net



profits legally available therefor (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect from time to time).

The “effective date” of a Pro Rata Repurchase shall mean the date of acceptance of shares for purchase or exchange by the Company under any tender or exchange offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase or the date of purchase with respect to any Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender or exchange offer.
Relevant Exchange” means the principal nationally recognized securities exchange in the United States on which the Common Stock is listed.
1.    Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Warrant Stock that such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Warrant Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
2.    Certain Issuances of Common Stock or Convertible Securities. If the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable (collectively, a “conversion”) for shares of Common Stock (collectively, “convertible securities”)) (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below) or a transaction to which this Section 2 is applicable) without consideration or at a consideration per share (or having a conversion price per share) that is less than 95% of the Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement establishing the price



(or the relevant date for establishing such price set forth in such agreement) such shares (or such convertible securities) then, in such event:
(i)    the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the date of the agreement establishing the price (or the relevant date for establishing such price set forth in such agreement) of such shares (or of such convertible securities) (the “Initial Number”) shall be increased to the number obtained by multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on such date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) and (b) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) would purchase at the Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement establishing the price (or the relevant date for establishing such price set forth in such agreement) such shares (or such convertible securities); and
(ii)    the Warrant Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such shares (or of such convertible securities) by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to such date and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after the adjustment described in clause (i) above.
For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company in connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or convertible securities shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of the net offering price (after deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties) of all such securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise or conversion of any such convertible securities into shares of Common Stock; and “Permitted Transactions” shall include issuances (1) as consideration for or to fund the acquisition by the Company of businesses and/or assets constituting a significant part of a business, (2) in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements of the Company approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), and (3) in connection with a broadly marketed public offering (which shall include a Rule 144A offering of convertible securities) and sale of Common Stock or convertible securities for cash conducted by the Company on a basis consistent with public companies similar to the Company in their own capital raising transactions. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2 shall become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance.
3.    Other Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding (x) Ordinary Cash Dividends and



(y) dividends of its Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 1), in each such case, the Warrant Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (i) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the Relevant Exchange without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash or the Fair Market Value of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided by (ii) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (i); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Warrant Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash dividend that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly dividend, the Per Share Fair Market Value shall be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the cash dividend that would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Warrant Price that would then be in effect and the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any distribution that would result in an adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company in its sole discretion may, in lieu of making such adjustment, provide that upon exercise of this Warrant the Holder shall receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock, the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants that would have been payable to Holder if Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such distribution.
4.    Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (y) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (a) the product of (1) the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon



the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (b) the new Warrant Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
5.    Timing of Issuance of Additional Warrant Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Exhibit 2 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Warrant Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
