26



as a result of (1) the exercise of stock options or settlement of restricted stock units (including any “net” or “cashless” exercises or settlements), or the award of stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock or other awards in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans described in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, (2) the repurchase of shares of Stock upon termination of the holder’s employment or service with the Company pursuant to agreements providing for an option to repurchase or a right of first refusal on behalf of the Company or (3) the issuance, if any, of Stock upon exercise or conversion of Company securities as described in the Pricing Prospectus or Prospectus) or any increase in longterm debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any change or effect in or affecting (x) the business, properties, general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, or (y) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including the issuance and sale of the Shares, or to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in the Representatives’ judgment so material and adverse as to make 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;
    (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.
31



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

    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

2 To include if undersigned is party to the IRA or a holder of common stock outstanding prior to the IPO and not otherwise covered by the early release provisions contained herein.




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 first full Trading Day on which the Class A Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) and (b) an additional 15% of the Outstanding Share Ownership on or after the 91st day after the Public Offering Date.]3

    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

Offeree Founder at a price per share equal to the Subject Transaction Price Per Share (each, a “ROFO Offer”).

Any ROFO Acceptance in accordance with Section 4(b) shall set forth the date (which shall be no earlier than two and no later than seven business days after the date of such ROFO Acceptance) on which the sale of Subject Shares pursuant to Section 4(b) shall be consummated (the “ROFO Closing”). At the ROFO Closing, the Selling Founder and the Offeree Founder shall execute such additional documents as the Offeree Founder reasonably requests in connection with such Transfer.
(d)Subject Transaction Closing. If a ROFO Acceptance is not given during the ROFO Period in accordance with Section 4(b) with respect to any Subject Shares, the Selling Founder may Transfer such Subject Shares in the Subject Transaction described in the ROFO Notice, at a price per share not less than the Subject Transaction Price Per Share (provided, in the event the Subject Transaction is (i) a sale on the open market, the Subject Shares may be sold at prevailing market prices, or (ii) a donation, gift or other Transfer for no value, the Subject Shares may be donated, gifted or otherwise Transferred for no value) and on other terms and conditions no more favorable to the transferee of such Subject Shares than those set forth in the ROFO Notice (the “Subject Transaction Closing”) , within 60 calendar days after the ROFO Period (or, if longer, the duration of any Rule 10b5-1 trading plan under which the Subject Transaction may occur).

The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is an unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable remedy for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach or that any party hereto otherwise has an adequate remedy at law.
    11

Exhibit 10.16

NOTICE OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
ROBINHOOD MARKETS, INC.
2021 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
    Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (this “Notice of Grant”) shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Robinhood Markets, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). All references to the “Platform” in this Notice of Grant or in the RSU Agreement (as defined below) shall be interpreted as the equity management software currently in use by the Company.
The Participant named below has been granted an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, this Notice of Grant and the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement attached hereto as Annex A, including the appendix thereto applicable to the Participant’s country (the “Appendix”) (together with the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, the “RSU Agreement”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share. The RSUs shall be credited to a separate book-entry account maintained for the Participant on the books of the Company.
Participant Name:        See Platform

Address:        See Platform

Total Number of RSUs:        See Platform

Grant Date:        See Platform

Vesting Commencement Date:    See Platform
Vesting: The RSUs shall become vested [vesting schedule to be specified by the Administrator at time of grant] (each such date, a “Vesting Date”); provided that the Participant remains continuously in active service with the Company or one of its Affiliates from the Grant Date through such Vesting Date. Employment or service for only a portion of a vesting period prior to a Vesting Date, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided below.
Settlement: Except as otherwise provided herein, each vested RSU shall be settled in Shares as soon as practicable (and in no case more than seventy-four (74) days) after the applicable Vesting Date.
Termination of Service:
(a)Termination of Service due to Death or Disability. If, on or prior to an applicable Vesting Date, the Participant’s service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates (i) due to the Participant’s Disability or (ii) due to the Participant’s death, then the RSUs that would have
RSU Notice for Employees     1


otherwise become vested within two years following such termination shall vest in full as of the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum value of Awards and other awards granted pursuant to the 2020 Plan, the Company’s 2013 Stock Plan or any future equity plans that may be adopted by the Company that become vested and exercisable in the event of a termination due to the Participant’s Disability or death will not exceed $10 million in the aggregate, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Any such RSUs that vest pursuant to this clause (a) shall be settled in Shares as soon as practicable (and in no case more than seventy-four (74) days) after such termination date. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (a) shall not apply to any death or Disability of the Participant occurring after the date of termination of the Participant’s service for any reason.

(b)Other Termination of Service. If, prior to the final Vesting Date, the Participant’s service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates for any reason other than as set forth in clause (a) above (including any termination of service by the Participant for any reason, or by the Company and its Affiliates with or without Cause), then all unvested RSUs shall be cancelled immediately after such termination and the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any payments with respect thereto.

A transfer of the Participant’s employment or service from one business group, including corporate groups, or Affiliate of the Company to another business group or Affiliate of the Company shall not be considered a termination of the Participant’s service with the Company and its Affiliates. The Participant’s service with the Company and its Affiliates shall be deemed to terminate as of the date the Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for the termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of Applicable Laws or the terms of the Participant’s employment or other service agreement, if any) and shall not, subject to Applicable Laws, be extended by any required notice period (e.g., garden leave).
Leaves of Absence:
(a)     Vesting May be Paused during Leaves of Absence in Accordance with Company Policy. Subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, in the event the Participant takes a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company or its applicable Affiliate in writing or to which the Participant is entitled by Applicable Laws (an “Authorized Leave”), each Vesting Date that has not occurred as of the commencement of the Authorized Leave shall be delayed if and to the extent provided in the Company’s leave of absence and equity vesting policy as in effect from time to time (the “LOA Vesting Policy”) or as otherwise approved by the Administrator, but not beyond the maximum term of this RSU award (and any RSUs that have not vested when such maximum term is reached shall be automatically forfeited by the Participant) ; provided, however, that such Authorized Leave shall not extend beyond the length of a bona fide leave of absence as permitted under Section 409A of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the LOA Vesting Policy may provide that vesting continues for a fixed portion of the Authorized Leave and is paused for the remainder of the Authorized Leave (and the fixed portion of such Authorized Leave during which vesting continues may differ as between different types of leave).
RSU Notice for Employees     2


(b)    Award Terminates at end of Authorized Leave unless Participant Returns to Work. Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph (a), for purposes of the RSUs, the Participant’s service shall not be deemed terminated while the Participant is on an Authorized Leave. However, the Participant’s service with the Company and its Affiliates shall be deemed to terminate at the end of such Authorized Leave unless the Participant promptly returns to active service. The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the RSUs (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).
Maximum Term: The maximum term of this RSU award is 10 years from the Grant Date.
No Dividends: The Participant’s account shall not be credited with any Dividend Equivalents with respect to the RSUs (except as may be permitted by the Administrator with notice to the Participant).
Market Standoff: The Participant agrees that in connection with any registered public offering of securities of the Company (an “Offering”), the Participant shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares acquired under the Plan without the prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such Offering, as applicable, for a period of time (not to exceed one-hundred eighty (180) days) following the pricing date of such Offering, as agreed to by the Company and such management underwriters (which restricted period may be extended in the event the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or announces that it will issue an earnings release, in each case, during the last seventeen (17) days of the restricted period), subject to all restrictions and exceptions as the Company and such managing underwriters may agree to for employee-stockholders generally. In order to enforce the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to impose, or direct any third party administering the Plan to impose, stop transfer instructions with respect to the Shares until the end of such restricted period. As to any RSUs that vest during such restricted period, the Company may, in its discretion and with notice to the Participant, delay settlement until a date that is no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the RSU vests.
Miscellaneous:
The Participant understands that this Notice of Grant is subject to the terms and conditions of both the Plan and the RSU Agreement, each of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Participant has received and has had an opportunity to review the Plan, the Company’s most recent prospectus that describes the Plan, and the RSU Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan and the RSU Agreement.
By the Participant’s acceptance hereof (whether written, electronic or otherwise), the Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that in lieu of receiving documents in paper format, the Participant accepts the electronic delivery of any documents the Company, or any third party involved in administering the Plan which the Company may designate, may deliver in connection with this grant (including the Plan, the RSU Agreement, this Notice of Grant, account statements, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, annual and quarterly reports,
RSU Notice for Employees     3


and all other communications and information) whether via the Company’s intranet or the internet site of another such third party or via email, or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company. Furthermore, the Participant and the Company agree that this RSU is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Notice of Grant and the RSU Agreement.

The Participant confirms acceptance of this award by clicking the “Accept” (or similar wording) button on the award acceptance screen of the Participant’s Plan account at www.ETRADE.com. If the Participant wishes to reject this award, the Participant must so notify the Company’s stock plan administrator in writing to stock-admin@robinhood.com no later than sixty (60) days after the Grant Date. If within such sixty (60) day period the Participant neither affirmatively accepts nor affirmatively rejects this award, the Participant will be deemed to have accepted this award at the end of such sixty (60) day period pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Notice of Grant, the RSU Agreement, and the Plan.

ANNEX A
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
ROBINHOOD MARKETS, INC.
2021 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
The Participant has been granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”), subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions of the Robinhood Markets, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice of Grant”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including the appendix hereto applicable to the Participant’s country (the “Appendix”) (together with this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan.

1.Taxes.

(a)Responsibility for Taxes. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different and applicable, his or her employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSU or the underlying Shares, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSU, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSU to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, he or she acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

(b)Tax Withholding. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company, the Employer and its Affiliates, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations or rights with respect to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

RSU Agreement    A-1


(i)withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company or its Affiliates;

(ii)withholding Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Participant when the Participant’s RSUs are settled;

(iii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares, 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);

(iv)requiring the Participant to make a payment in cash or by check;

(v)reducing the amount of any cash otherwise payable to the Participant with respect to the RSUs or any Dividend Equivalents (if any as may be specified in the Notice of Grant or permitted by the Administrator after the Grant Date);

(vi)any other method of withholding approved by the Company and to the extent required by Applicable Laws or the Plan, approved by the Administrator; or

(vii)and in each case, under such rules as may be established by the Administrator and in compliance with the Company’s insider trading policy and 10b5-1 trading plan policy, if applicable; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the method of withholding shall be through a withholding of Shares under (ii) above.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including up to the maximum applicable rate for the Participant’s jurisdiction(s). If the maximum applicable rate for the Participant’s jurisdiction(s) is used in connection with the withholding methods described in (ii) or (iii) above, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares. If the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares as described in (ii) above, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have received the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items.

The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

2.Data Privacy Consent. The Participant hereby declares that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.
RSU Agreement    A-2



(a)Declaration of Consent. The Participant understands that he or she must review the following information about the processing of Personal Data by or on behalf of the Company or, if different, the Employer as described in this Agreement and any materials related to the Participant’s eligibility to participate in the Plan and declare his or her consent. As regards the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan, the Participant understands that the Company is the controller of his or her Personal Data.

(b)Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes certain information about the Participant for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Participant understands that this information may include, without limitation, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or its Affiliates, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (the “Personal Data”). The legal basis for the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data, where required, is the Participant’s consent.

(c)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Participant understands that the Company transfers his or her Personal Data, or parts thereof, to E*Trade Corporate Financial Services, Inc. and E*Trade Securities LLC (“E*Trade”), an independent service provider based in the U.S., which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select different service providers and share the Participant’s Personal Data with such different service providers that serve the Company in a similar manner. The Company’s service providers will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan and the Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of any ability to participate in the Plan.

(d)International Data Transfers. The Company and, as of the date hereof, any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, such as E*Trade, are based in the U.S. If the Participant is located outside the U.S., the Participant’s country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the U.S. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Personal Data is the Participant’s consent.

(e)Data Retention. The Company will process the Participant’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws. In the latter case, the Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of his or her Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data for any of the above purposes, the Participant understands that the Company will remove it from its systems.
RSU Agreement    A-3



(f)Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial/Withdrawal of Consent. The Participant understands that any participation in the Plan and the Participant’s consent are purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or later withdraw his or her consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If the Participant denies or later withdraws his or her consent, the Company cannot offer participation in the Plan or grant equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards, and the Participant will not be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Participant further understands that denial or withdrawal of his or her consent would not affect the Participant’s employment or other service relationship and that the Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.

(g)Data Subject Rights. The Participant understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of personal data vary depending on Applicable Laws and that, depending on where the Participant is based and subject to the conditions set out in the Applicable Laws, the Participant may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about the Participant and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about the Participant that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data in certain situations where the Participant feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of the Participant’s Personal Data that he or she has actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or the Participant’s employment or other service relationship and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, the Participant also may have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. Further, to receive clarification of, or to exercise any of, the Participant’s rights, the Participant understands he or she should contact his or her local human resources representative.

3.Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall not be deemed for any purpose, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares underlying the RSUs unless, until and to the extent that (a) the Company shall have issued and delivered to the Participant the Shares underlying the vested RSUs and (b) the Participant’s name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record with respect to such Shares on the books of the Company. The Company shall cause the actions described in clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence to occur promptly following settlement as contemplated by this Agreement, subject to compliance with Applicable Laws.

4.Incorporation by Reference, Etc. The provisions of the Plan and the Notice of Grant are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

RSU Agreement    A-4


promulgated by the Administrator from time to time pursuant to the Plan. The Administrator shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan, the Notice of Grant and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations under them, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the Participant and his or her legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Participant acknowledges that the RSUs and any Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs are subject to provisions of the Plan under which, in certain circumstances, an adjustment may be made to the number of the RSUs and any Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs.

5.Compliance with Applicable Laws. The granting and settlement of the RSUs, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, shall be subject to all Applicable Laws as may be required. The Administrator shall have the right to impose such restrictions on the RSUs as it deems reasonably necessary or advisable under applicable Federal or non-U.S. securities laws, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or market upon which Shares are then listed or traded, and/or any blue sky, state securities or non-U.S. exchange control or other laws applicable to such Shares. It is expressly understood that the Administrator is authorized to administer, construe and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant. The Participant agrees to take all steps the Administrator or the Company determines are reasonably necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of Federal and state securities law (and any other Applicable Laws) in exercising his or her rights under this Agreement.

6.Nature of Grant. By accepting the RSUs and participating in the Plan, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b)the grant of the RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted in the past;

(c)all decisions with respect to future RSUs or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)the RSUs grant and the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to an employment or other service relationship with the Company;

(e)the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(f)the RSU and the Shares subject to the RSU, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

RSU Agreement    A-5


(g)unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary of the Company;

(h)the RSU and the Shares subject to the RSU, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of, including but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(i)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(j)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from the termination of the Participant’s employment or service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or providing services, or the terms of his or her employment or other service agreement, if any), or pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement; and

(k)neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

7.Clawback. The RSUs and/or the Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs shall be subject (including on a retroactive basis) to clawback, recoupment, forfeiture or similar requirements (and such requirements shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement) to the extent required by the Clawback Policy or Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act).

8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Transferability. The RSUs may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered (a “Transfer”) by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or as otherwise permitted under the Plan. Any attempted Transfer of the RSUs contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the RSUs, shall be null and void and without effect.

(b)Amendment. The Administrator at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the rights of the Participant shall not be materially adversely affected without the Participant’s written consent.

RSU Agreement    A-6


(c)Waiver. Any right of the Company or its Affiliates contained in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Administrator. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach.

(d)Section 409A. The RSUs are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if any provision of the Plan or this Agreement contravenes Section 409A of the Code or could cause the Participant to incur any tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator may, in its sole reasonable discretion and without the Participant’s consent, modify such provision to (i) comply with, or avoid being subject to, Section 409A of the Code, or to avoid the incurrence of taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the Participant of the applicable provision without materially increasing the cost to the Company or contravening the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Section 8(d) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the Plan or this Agreement and does not guarantee that the RSUs or the Shares underlying the RSUs will not be subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, to the extent that the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of the Company’s established methodology for determining “specified employees” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), payment or distribution of any amounts with respect to the RSUs that are subject to Section 409A of the Code will be made as soon as practicable following the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) from the Company and its Affiliates, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.

(e)General Assets. All amounts credited in respect of the RSUs to the book-entry account under this Agreement shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the Company. The Participant’s interest in such account shall make the Participant only a general, unsecured creditor of the Company.

(f)Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications to be given hereunder to any party shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person, by telecopy, by nationally recognized overnight courier, or by first-class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such party at the address set forth below or such other address as may hereafter be designated in writing by the addressee to the addresser:

(h)No Rights to Continued Service. Nothing contained in this Agreement will confer upon the Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the right of the Company (or any of its Affiliates) to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(i)No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or his or her acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

(j)Language. The Participant acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is proficient in the English language, so as to enable the Participant to understand the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

(k)Country-Specific Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the RSU grant shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix to this Agreement applicable to the Participant’s country.

(m)Insider Trading/Market Abuse. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and the Participant’s jurisdiction, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., phantom awards, futures, Dividend Equivalents) during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Keep in mind third parties includes fellow Service Providers. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. The Participant is responsible for complying with any restrictions and should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

(n)Exchange Control, Foreign Asset/Account and/or Tax Reporting. Depending upon the country to which laws the Participant is subject, the Participant have certain foreign asset/account and/or tax reporting requirements that may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends or Dividend Equivalents or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country of residence. The Participant’s country may require that the Participant report such accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in his or her country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate cash received from participating in the Plan to his or her country within a certain period of time after receipt. The Participant is responsible for knowledge of and compliance with any such regulations and should speak with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding same.

(o)Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a Share, if applicable, the Company shall be entitled to pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.

RSU Agreement    A-9


(p)Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Administrator, the Participant may file with the Administrator a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Administrator and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no beneficiary is designated (or permitted to be designated), if the designation is ineffective, or if the beneficiary dies before the balance of the Participant’s benefit is paid, the balance shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Participant’s beneficiary shall be determined under applicable state (or other) law if such state (or other) law does not recognize beneficiary designations under Awards of this type and is not preempted by laws which recognize the provisions of this Section 8(p).

(q)Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company or any of its Affiliates and their successors and assigns, and of the Participant and the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Participant.

(s)Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of San Mateo County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

ANNEX A
FULLY VESTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
ROBINHOOD MARKETS, INC.
2021 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
The Participant has been granted fully vested Shares, subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions of the Robinhood Markets, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), the Notice of Fully Vested Stock Award for Non-Employee Directors (the “Notice of Grant”) and this Fully Vested Stock Award Agreement for Non-Employee Directors, including the appendix hereto applicable to the Participant’s country (the “Appendix”) (together with this Fully Vested Stock Award Agreement for Non-Employee Directors (this “Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan.

1.Taxes.

(a)Responsibility for Taxes. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Shares, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Shares to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, he or she acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

(b)Tax Withholding. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and its Affiliates, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations or rights with respect to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(i)withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company or its Affiliates;
Fully Vested Stock Award Notice     3



(ii)withholding Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Participant;

(iii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares, 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);

(iv)requiring the Participant to make a payment in cash or by check;

(v)reducing the amount of any cash otherwise payable to the Participant with respect to the Shares (if any as may be specified in the Notice of Grant or permitted by the Administrator after the Grant Date);

(vi)any other method of withholding approved by the Company and to the extent required by Applicable Laws or the Plan, approved by the Administrator; or

(vii)and in each case, under such rules as may be established by the Administrator and in compliance with the Company’s insider trading policy and 10b5-1 trading plan policy, if applicable; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the method of withholding shall be through a withholding of Shares under (ii) above.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including up to the maximum applicable rate for the Participant’s jurisdiction(s). If the maximum applicable rate for the Participant’s jurisdiction(s) is used in connection with the withholding methods described in (ii) or (iii) above, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares. If the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares as described in (ii) above, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have received the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items.

The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

2.Data Privacy Consent. The Participant hereby declares that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.

(a)Declaration of Consent. The Participant understands that he or she must review the following information about the processing of Personal Data by or on behalf of the
Fully Vested Stock Award Notice     4


Company as described in this Agreement and any materials related to the Participant’s eligibility to participate in the Plan and declare his or her consent. As regards the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan, the Participant understands that the Company is the controller of his or her Personal Data.

(b)Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes certain information about the Participant for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Participant understands that this information may include, without limitation, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or its Affiliates, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (the “Personal Data”). The legal basis for the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data, where required, is the Participant’s consent.

(c)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Participant understands that the Company transfers his or her Personal Data, or parts thereof, to E*Trade Corporate Financial Services, Inc. and E*Trade Securities LLC (“E*Trade”), an independent service provider based in the U.S., which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select different service providers and share the Participant’s Personal Data with such different service providers that serve the Company in a similar manner. The Company’s service providers will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan and the Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of any ability to participate in the Plan.

(d)International Data Transfers. The Company and, as of the date hereof, any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, such as E*Trade, are based in the U.S. If the Participant is located outside the U.S., the Participant’s country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the U.S. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Personal Data is the Participant’s consent.

(e)Data Retention. The Company will process the Participant’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws. In the latter case, the Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of his or her Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data for any of the above purposes, the Participant understands that the Company will remove it from its systems.

(f)Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial/Withdrawal of Consent. The Participant understands that any participation in the Plan and the Participant’s consent are
Fully Vested Stock Award Notice     5


purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or later withdraw his or her consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If the Participant denies or later withdraws his or her consent, the Company cannot offer participation in the Plan or grant equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards, and the Participant will not be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Participant further understands that denial or withdrawal of his or her consent would not affect the Participant’s service relationship and that the Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.

(g)Data Subject Rights. The Participant understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of personal data vary depending on Applicable Laws and that, depending on where the Participant is based and subject to the conditions set out in the Applicable Laws, the Participant may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about the Participant and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about the Participant that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data in certain situations where the Participant feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of the Participant’s Personal Data that he or she has actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or the Participant’s service relationship and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, the Participant also may have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
By clicking the “ENROLL” (or similar wording) button on the Employee Share Purchase Plan screen of a Robinhood Markets, Inc. stock plan account on www.etrade.com, the holder of such account (the “Employee”) hereby agrees to this Subscription Agreement and enrolls in the Plan (as defined below) or, as applicable, submits a change of contribution rate, according to the following terms:
1.Election to Participate. The Employee hereby elects to participate in the Robinhood Markets, Inc. 2021 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) and subscribes to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Shares”) in accordance with the Plan, any sub-plan to the Plan applicable to Employee’s country and this Subscription Agreement, including the appendix to this Subscription Agreement applicable to Employee’s country (the “Appendix”). The Appendix may include terms and conditions which are in addition to, or in replacement of, the terms and conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
2.Payroll Deductions. Employee hereby authorizes payroll deductions by the Company or any Employer from each payroll in a specified percentage (as indicated by the Employee in his or her online account concurrently with the acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, in whole percentages only (no fractions) from one (1%) to fifteen percent (15%); provided that a decrease in rate may be to zero percent (0%)) of his or her Compensation on each payday during the Offering Period in accordance with the Plan, except that, solely with respect to the Plan’s first Offering Period, such payroll deductions will commence with the first payroll following the end of the Initial Enrollment Period (as defined below). Please note:
this percentage will be applied to eligible Compensation pre-tax but contributions will be withdrawn from eligible Compensation after-tax; and
if you reduce your contribution rate to zero during an Offering Period (and do not formally withdraw from the Plan), you will remain enrolled for the duration of that Offering Period and then you will be automatically withdrawn from the Plan at the end of that Offering Period. To avoid being withdrawn from the Plan and to remain enrolled when a new Offering Period commences, you must have a contribution rate of at least one percent (1%) in effect for the new Offering Period.
3.Accumulation of Payroll Deductions and Purchase of Shares. Employee understands that said payroll deductions will be accumulated for the purchase of Shares at the applicable Purchase Price determined in accordance with the Plan. Employee understands that if
1
ESPP Subscription Agreement    


he or she does not withdraw from an Offering Period at least two weeks prior to the next Purchase Date (or by such later deadline in advance of the Purchase Date as may be allowed by the Plan Administrator from time to time), any accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise his or her stock purchase right and purchase Shares under the Plan. The maximum number of Shares that may be purchased per Purchase Period is 2,500.
4.Review of Company’s Plan and Prospectus. Employee has received a copy of the complete Plan and a copy of the Company’s most recent Prospectus that describes the Plan. Employee understands that his or her participation in the Plan is in all respects subject to the terms of the Plan.
5.Deposit of Shares in Brokerage Account. Shares purchased by Employee under the Plan will be deposited into an account in the name of Employee at the brokerage firm designated by the Company from time to time as the broker to receive Shares under the Plan (currently E*TRADE Securities).
6.Market Standoff. Employee agrees that in connection with any registered public offering of securities of the Company (an “Offering”), Employee shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares acquired under the Plan without the prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such Offering, as applicable, for a period of time (not to exceed one-hundred eighty (180) days) following the pricing date of such Offering, as agreed to by the Company and such managing underwriters (which restricted period may be extended in the event the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or announces that it will issue an earnings release, in each case, during the last seventeen (17) days of the restricted period), subject to all restrictions and exceptions as the Company and such managing underwriters may agree to for employee-stockholders generally. In order to enforce the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to impose, or direct any third party administering the Plan to impose, stop transfer instructions with respect to the Shares until the end of such restricted period.
7.Notification of Disposition Requirement (For U.S. Taxpayers Only). If an Employee is a U.S. taxpayer, Employee understands that if he or she disposes of any Shares that he or she purchased under the Plan within two (2) years after the Offering Start Date (the first day of the Offering Period during which he or she purchased such Shares) or one (1) year after the applicable Purchase Date, he or she will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Shares at the time such Shares were purchased over the price paid for the Shares. If an Employee is a U.S. taxpayer, Employee hereby agrees to notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of any disposition of such Shares and to make adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, that arise upon the disposition of such Shares. The Company and any Employer may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from Employee’s compensation the amount necessary to meet any applicable withholding obligation including any withholding necessary to make available to the Company or any Employer any tax deductions or benefits attributable to Employee’s sale or disposition of such Shares. If an Employee is a U.S. taxpayer, Employee understands that if he
2
ESPP Subscription Agreement    


or she disposes of such Shares at any time after the expiration of the two (2)-year and one (1)-year holding periods, he or she will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received income only at the time of such disposition, and that such income will be taxed as ordinary income only to the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the Shares at the time of such disposition over the Purchase Price paid for the Shares, or (ii) fifteen percent (15%) of the fair market value of the Shares on the first day of the Offering Period. The remainder of the gain, if any, recognized on such disposition will be taxed as capital gain.
8.Effectiveness of Agreement. Employee understands that this Subscription Agreement applies to the first Offering Period that begins after the date Employee enrolls in the Plan and will remain in effect for each successive Offering Period unless Employee makes a change to the authorized level of payroll deductions (in which case such new level will continue in effect as aforesaid), withdraws from the Plan or becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan, except that if this Subscription Agreement is accepted within 30 days following the Registration Date, or such earlier deadline as management may announce (such period, the “Initial Enrollment Period”), it will apply to the first Offering Period under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee’s participation in any successive Offering Period will be governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Company’s form of Subscription Agreement in effect at the beginning of any such Offering Period, subject to Employee’s right to withdraw from the Plan according to the withdrawal procedures in effect at such time.
9.Taxes.
(a)Responsibility for Taxes. Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company and/or, if different, the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or any other tax-related items related to Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed applicable to Employee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, withheld by the Company or the Employer. Employee further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the right to purchase Shares or the underlying Shares, including, but not limited to, the grant or exercise of the right to purchase Shares, the purchase of Shares, the issuance of Shares upon such purchase, the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan or the receipt of any dividends paid on the Shares; and (ii) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of Employee’s participation in the Plan to reduce or eliminate Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Employee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Tax Withholding. Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy any withholding obligations the Company or the Employer may have
3
ESPP Subscription Agreement    


for Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, as applicable, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i)withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer;
(ii)requiring Employee to tender a cash payment to the Company or the Employer;
(iii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon purchase, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);
(iv)withholding from the Shares to be issued upon purchase; or
(v)any other method acceptable to the Company and, to the extent required by Applicable Laws or the Plan, approved by the Administrator;
(vi)and in each case, under such rules as may be established by the Administrator and in compliance with the Company’s insider trading policy and 10b5-1 trading plan policy, if applicable.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including up to the maximum applicable rate for Employee’s jurisdiction(s). If the maximum applicable rate for Employee’s jurisdiction(s) is used in connection with the withholding methods described in (iii) or (iv) above, Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares. If the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares as described in (iv) above, for tax purposes, Employee will be deemed to have received the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items.
The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Employee fails to comply with Employee’s obligations for Tax-Related Items.
10.Electronic Delivery and Participation. Employee acknowledges and understands that the Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to Employee’s current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means and/or may request Employee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established or maintained by the Company or another party designated by the Company.
11.Agreement to Plan Terms and Eligibility. Employee hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan. The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent upon Employee’s eligibility to participate in the Plan.

12.Data Privacy Consent. Employee hereby declares that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.
(a)Declaration of Consent. Employee understands that he or she must review the following information about the processing of Personal Data by or on behalf of the Company or, if different, the Employer as described in this Subscription Agreement and any materials related to Employee’s eligibility to participate in the Plan and declare his or her consent. As regards the processing of Employee’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan, Employee understands that the Company is the controller of his or her Personal Data.
(b)Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes certain information about Employee for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Employee understands that this information may include, without limitation, Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or its Affiliates, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor (the “Personal Data”). The legal basis for the processing of Employee’s Personal Data, where required, is Employee’s consent.
(c)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. Employee understands that the Company transfers his or her Personal Data, or parts thereof, to E*Trade Corporate Financial Services, Inc. and E*Trade Securities LLC (“E*Trade”), an independent service provider based in the U.S., which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select different service providers and share Employee’s Personal Data with such different service providers that serve the Company in a similar manner. The Company’s service providers will open an account for Employee to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan and Employee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of any ability to participate in the Plan.
(d)International Data Transfers. The Company and, as of the date hereof, any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, such as E*Trade, are based in the U.S. If Employee is located outside the U.S., Employee’s country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the U.S. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Personal Data is Employee’s consent.
(e)Data Retention. The Company will process Employee’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Employee’s participation in the Plan, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws. In the latter case, Employee understands and acknowledges
5
ESPP Subscription Agreement    


that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of his or her Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data for any of the above purposes, Employee understands that the Company will remove it from its systems.
(f)Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial/Withdrawal of Consent. Employee understands that any participation in the Plan and Employee’s consent are purely voluntary. Employee may deny or later withdraw his or her consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If Employee denies or later withdraws his or her consent, the Company cannot offer participation in the Plan or grant equity awards to Employee or administer or maintain such awards, and Employee will not be eligible to participate in the Plan. Employee further understands that denial or withdrawal of his or her consent would not affect Employee’s employment relationship and that Employee would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(g)Data Subject Rights. Employee understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of personal data vary depending on Applicable Laws and that, depending on where Employee is based and subject to the conditions set out in the Applicable Laws, Employee may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about Employee and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about Employee that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of Employee’s Personal Data in certain situations where Employee feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of Employee’s Personal Data that he or she has actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or Employee’s employment relationship and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, Employee also may have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. Further, to receive clarification of, or to exercise any of, Employee’s rights, Employee understands he or she should contact his or her local human resources representative.
