INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT 

This Investment Management Trust Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of March 23, 2021 by and between Khosla
Ventures Acquisition Co. III, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company (the “Trustee”). 

WHEREAS, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1,
No. 333-253101 (the “Registration Statement”) and prospectus (the “Prospectus”), for its initial public offering of shares (the “Shares” ) of the Company’s Class A
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (such initial public offering hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”), has been declared effective as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement); 

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs &
Co. LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”) named therein; 

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the Offering, the Company’s sponsor will be purchasing 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock (“Private
Placement Shares”) from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $13,000,000 (and additional amounts of Private Placement Shares from the Company if the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, up to 1,450,000 Private Placement
Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $14,500,000 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full); 
 WHEREAS, as
described in the Registration Statement, $500,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering and sale of the Private Placement Shares ($575,000,000 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be delivered to the Trustee
to be deposited and held in a segregated trust account located at all times in the United States (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Company and the holders of shares of the Common Stock included in the Units issued in the
Offering as hereinafter provided (the amount to be delivered to the Trustee (and any interest subsequently earned thereon) is referred to herein as the “Property,” the stockholders for whose benefit the Trustee shall hold the Property will
be referred to as the “Public Stockholders,” and the Public Stockholders and the Company will be referred to together as the “Beneficiaries”); and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, a portion of the Property equal to $17,500,000, or $20,125,000 if the Underwriters’
over-allotment option is exercised in full, is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be payable by the Company to the Underwriters upon and concurrently with the consummation of the initial business combination
(as described in the Prospectus, a “Business Combination”) (the “Deferred Discount”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and
the Trustee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall hold the Property.

 NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED: 

1. Agreements and Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to: 

(a) Hold the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the Trust Account established by the
Trustee in the United States at JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (or at another U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more) in the United States, maintained by the Trustee and at a brokerage institution selected by
the Trustee that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company; 
 (b) Manage, supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein; 
 (c) In a timely manner, upon the written instruction of the Company, invest and reinvest the Property
solely in United States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1),
(d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or any successor rule), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined
by the Company; the Trustee may not invest in any other securities or assets, it being understood that the Trust Account will earn no interest while account funds are uninvested awaiting the Company’s instructions hereunder and the Trustee may
earn bank credits or other consideration during such periods; 
 (d) Collect and receive, when due, all principal, interest or other income
arising from the Property, which shall become part of the “Property,” as such term is used herein; 
 (e) Promptly notify the
Company and the Representatives of all communications received by the Trustee with respect to any Property requiring action by the Company; 

(f) Supply any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company (or its authorized agents) in connection with the
Company’s preparation of the tax returns relating to assets held in the Trust Account; 
 (g) Participate in any plan or proceeding for
protecting or enforcing any right or interest arising from the Property if, as and when instructed by the Company to do so; 
 (h) Render to
the Company monthly written statements of the activities of, and amounts in, the Trust Account reflecting all receipts and disbursements of the Trust Account; 

(i) Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a
letter from the Company (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, signed on behalf of the Company by
its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Secretary or other authorized officer of the Company, and, in 

  
 2 













 
the case of Exhibit A, acknowledged and agreed to by the Representatives, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust
Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes as well as expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest that may
be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein; or (y) upon the date which is the later of (1) 24 months from the closing of the Offering, or 27
months from the closing of the Offering if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering and (2) such later date as may
be approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as may be amended from time to time, the “Charter”), if a Termination Letter has not been received by
the Trustee prior to such date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account,
including interest not previously released to the Company pursuant to pay its taxes as well as expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution
expenses), shall be distributed to the Public Stockholders of record as of such date; provided, however, that the Trustee has no obligation to monitor or question the Company’s position that an allocation has been made for taxes payable; 

(j) Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as
Exhibit C, withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company to cover (x) any tax obligation owed by the Company and (y) expenses
relating to the administration of the Trust Account, which amounts shall be delivered directly to the Company by electronic funds transfer or other method of prompt payment, and, for the tax obligation expenses, the Company shall forward such
payment to the relevant taxing authority; provided, however, that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account to pay such tax obligation, the Trustee shall liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be
designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution, so long as there is no reduction in the principal amount per share initially deposited in the Trust Account; provided, further, that if the tax to be paid is a franchise tax, the
written request by the Company to make such distribution shall be accompanied by a copy of the franchise tax bill from the State of Delaware for the Company and a written statement from the principal financial officer of the Company setting forth
the actual amount payable (it being acknowledged and agreed that any such amount in excess of interest income earned on the Property shall not be payable from the Trust Account). The written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute
presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request; 

(k) Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as
Exhibit D, the Trustee shall distribute to the remitting brokers on behalf of Public Stockholders redeeming shares of the Common Stock the amount required to pay redeemed shares of Common Stock from Public Stockholders; and


  
 3 













 (l) Not make any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to
Sections 1(i), (j), or (k) above. 
 2. Agreements and Covenants of the Company. The
Company hereby agrees and covenants to: 
 (a) Give all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Secretary or other authorized officer of the Company. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i), (j), and (k) hereof, the
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any verbal or telephonic advice or instruction which it in good faith and with reasonable care believes to be given by any one of the persons authorized above to give
written instructions, provided that the Company shall promptly confirm such instructions in writing; 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of
Section 4 of this Agreement, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against, any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee in connection
with any claim, potential claim, action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Trustee
hereunder, or the Property or any interest earned on the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand or claim
or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under this Section 2(b), it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as
the “Indemnified Claim”). The Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim; provided, that the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of counsel, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such action with
its own counsel; 
 (c) Pay the Trustee an initial acceptance fee, an annual fee and a transaction processing fee for each disbursement made
as set forth on Schedule A hereto, which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to pay such fees unless the disbursements are
made to the Company pursuant to Section 1(i) solely in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and the first year’s annual fee at the
consummation of the Offering and thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective Date. The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except as set forth in this Section 2(c),
Schedule A and as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof; 
 (d) In connection with any vote of the
Company’s stockholders regarding a Business Combination, provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of a firm regularly engaged in the business of soliciting proxies and/or tabulating stockholder votes (which firm may be the Trustee)
verifying the vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding such Business Combination; 

  
 4 













 (e) Provide the Representatives with a copy of any Termination Letter(s) and/or any other
correspondence that is sent to the Trustee with respect to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues the same; 

(f) Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Representatives, ensure that any Instruction Letter (as defined in
Exhibit A) delivered in connection with a Termination Letter in the form of Exhibit A expressly provides that the Deferred Discount is paid directly to the account or accounts directed by the
Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters prior to any transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account to the Company or any other person; 

(g) In connection with the Trustee acting as Paying/Disbursing Agent pursuant to Exhibit B, the Company will not give
the Trustee disbursement instructions which would be prohibited under this Agreement; 
 (h) Within five business days after the
Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, exercises the over-allotment option (or any unexercised portion thereof) or such over-allotment option expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing (with a copy to the Representatives) of the
total amount of the Deferred Discount; 
 (i) In the event the Company is entitled to receive a tax refund on its tax obligation, and
promptly after the amount of such refund is determined on a final basis, provide the Trustee with notice in writing (with a copy to the Representatives) of the amount of such tax refund; and 

(j) If the Company seeks to amend any provisions of its Charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s Public
Stockholders’ ability to convert or sell their shares to the Company in connection with a Business Combination or with respect to any other provisions relating to the rights of holders of the Common Stock, (in each case, an
“Amendment”), the Company will provide the Trustee with a letter (an “Amendment Notification Letter”) in the form of Exhibit D providing instructions for the distribution of funds to Public Stockholders
who exercise their conversion option in connection with such Amendment. 
 3. Limitations of Liability. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility or liability to: 
 (a) Take any action with respect to the Property, other than as directed in
Section 1 hereof, and the Trustee shall have no liability to any party except for liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct; 

(b) Institute any proceeding for the collection of any principal and income arising from, or institute, appear in or defend any proceeding of
any kind with respect to, any of the Property unless and until it shall have received written instructions from the Company given as provided herein to do so and the Company shall have advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any
expenses incident thereto; 
 (c) Change the investment of any Property, other than in compliance with Section 1
hereof; 

  
 5 













 (d) Refund any depreciation in principal of any Property; 

(e) Assume that the authority of any person designated by the Company to give instructions hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided
otherwise in such designation, or unless the Company shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority to the Trustee; 
 (f) To
anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the Trustee’s best judgment, except for the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The Trustee
may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Trustee, which counsel may be the Company’s counsel), statement, instrument,
report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which the Trustee believes, in good faith and
with reasonable care, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms
hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto; 

(g) Verify the correctness of the information set forth in the Registration Statement or to confirm or assure that any acquisition made by the

that such taxes, if any, shall be paid by the Company from funds not held in the Trust Account, except in accordance with Section 1(j)); 

(j) Imply obligations, perform duties, inquire or otherwise be subject to the provisions of any agreement or document other than this agreement
and that which is expressly set forth herein; and 
 (k) Verify calculations, qualify or otherwise approve the Company’s written
requests for distributions pursuant to Sections 1(i), (j), or (k) hereof. 
 4. Trust Account
Waiver. The Trustee has no right of set off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account
that it may have now or in the future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Sections 2(b) or (c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue
such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account. 

  
 6 













 5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as follows: 

(a) If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to locate a successor trustee during which time the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this Agreement. At such time that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed by the Company and has agreed
to become subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee, including but not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the Trust
Account, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that, in the event that the Company does not locate a successor trustee within ninety days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit an
application to have the Property deposited with any court in the State of New York or with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and upon such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from any liability whatsoever; or

 (b) At such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account and its obligations in accordance with the provisions
of Section 1(i) hereof and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b) and
Section 4. 
 6. Miscellaneous. 

(a) The Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth below with respect to funds
transferred from the Trust Account. The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to such security procedures to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to
believe unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such confidential information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee will rely upon all information supplied to it by the Company, including
account names, account numbers, and all other identifying information relating to a Beneficiary, Beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank. Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct,
the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in the information or transmission of the funds. 

(b) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect

together shall constitute but one instrument.

with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except for Sections 1(i), (j), (k), and (l) hereof (which sections may not be modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative vote of sixty-five

elected to redeem his, her or its shares of Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to amend this Agreement that would affect 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 its Common Stock if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the time frame specified in the Company’s Charter or with respect to any other provisions
relating to the rights of holders of the Common Stock or pre- initial business combination activity), this Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified (other than to correct a
typographical error) by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Khosla Ventures Acquisition Co. III (the
“Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Trustee”), dated as of March 23, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement with [ 🌑 ] (“Target Business”) to complete a business combination with Target Business (the “Business Combination”) on or about [ 🌑 ]. The
Company shall notify you at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the actual date of the completion of the Business Combination (the “Completion Date”). Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement. 
 In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby
authorize you to commence to liquidate the Trust Account investments and to transfer the proceeds to the above- referenced account at JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., to the effect that, on the Completion Date, all of the funds held in the Trust Account
will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company shall direct on the Completion Date (including as directed to it by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters (with respect to the Deferred Discount)). It
is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the Trust Account awaiting distribution, the Company will not earn any interest or dividends. 

On the Completion Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been
completed, (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) a certificate by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company which verifies the vote of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Business
Combination and (b) written instructions with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account (“Instruction Letter”) and (iii) the Representatives shall deliver to you written instructions for delivery of the
Deferred Discount. You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the counsel’s letter and the Instruction Letter, (x) to the Representatives in an amount equal to
the Deferred Discount as directed by the Representatives and (y) the remainder in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Completion Date
without penalty, you will notify the Company of the same and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Completion Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds
in the Trust Account pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trust Agreement shall be terminated. 

  
 A-1 













 In the event that the Business Combination is not completed on the Completion Date described
in the notice thereof and the Company has not notified you on or before the original Completion Date of a new Completion Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Company, the funds held in the Trust Account shall be
reinvested as provided in the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately following the Completion Date as set forth in the notice.
