	Re:	CFO Appointment



 


Mr. Ryans:


 


This letter (this “Letter Agreement”)
is being delivered to you in connection with your appointment to the board of directors of Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. IV,
a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”). Reference is made to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public
Offering”) of 46,000,000 of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each comprised of one Class A ordinary share of
the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (each, an “Ordinary Share”), and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (each whole
warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share,
subject to adjustment. The Units were sold in the Public Offering pursuant to registration statements on Form S-1 and a prospectus (the
 “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain capitalized
terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof.


 


For good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned (the “Insider”) hereby agrees with the Company as follows:


 


1.             The Insider agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such
proposed Business Combination, the Insider shall (i) vote any Shares owned by the Insider in favor of any proposed Business Combination
(including any proposals recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with such Business Combination) and (ii) not
redeem any Shares owned by the Insider in connection with such shareholder approval.


 


2.             The Insider hereby agrees with the Company that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within
24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with
the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as they may be amended from time to time, the Insider
shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly
as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Ordinary Shares sold as part of the Units
in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which
interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely
extinguish all Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if
any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining
shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations
under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Insider agrees to not propose
any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing
of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem
100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the
Public Offering, or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination
activity, unless the Company provides its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon approval of any
such amendment at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
(which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Offering Shares.


 






     


     


    

 


The Insider acknowledges that the Insider has no
right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any other asset of the Company as a result
of any liquidation of the Company with respect to any Founder Shares held by the Insider. The Insider hereby further waives, with respect
to any Shares held by the Insider, if any, any redemption rights the Insider may have in connection with (x) the consummation of a Business
Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination
or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Ordinary Shares and (y) a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to
allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company
does not complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or (ii) with respect to any
other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (although the Insider shall be entitled
to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares the Insider holds if the Company fails to consummate a Business
Combination within 24 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering).


 


3.             [Reserved.]


 


4.             [Reserved.]


 


5.             [Reserved.]


 


6.             The Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the underwriter party to the Underwriting Agreement related to the Company’s
initial public offering, dated October 8, 2020, between the Company and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representative of the underwriter,
and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Insider of the Insider’s obligations under paragraphs
1, 2, 3, 7(a), 7(b), and 9 of this Letter Agreement (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the
non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in
equity, in the event of such breach.

7.             (a) The Insider agrees that the Insider shall not Transfer (as defined below) any Founder Shares (or Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (B)
subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share
(as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading
days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination or (y) the date
following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share
exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange
their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).


 


(b)           The Insider agrees that the Insider shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon
the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants), until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination (the “Private
Placement Warrants Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”).


 


(c)           Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants
and Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares, are permitted
(a) to the Company’s directors or officers, any affiliates or family members of the Company’s directors or officers,
SCH Sponsor IV LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), any members of the Sponsor or
any affiliates of the Sponsor; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family,
or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a
charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual;

connection with the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities
were originally purchased; (f) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the Company’s completion of an initial
Business Combination; (g) in the case of an entity, by virtue of the laws of its jurisdiction or its organizational documents or
operating agreement; and (h) in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization
or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares
for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination; provided, however,
that, in the case of clauses (a) through (e), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing
to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Agreement.


 


8.             The Insider represents and warrants that the Insider has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or
