 WHEREAS, the Company has entered into
an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Underwriters”) named therein; and 

WHEREAS, as described in the Prospectus, $475,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering and sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as
defined in the Underwriting Agreement) (or $546,250,000 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 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 $16,625,000, or $19,118,750 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that may be
payable by the Company to the Underwriters upon the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below) (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 at J.P Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or at another U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more) 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 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 185 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 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
Representative 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 signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive
Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or Chairman of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) or other authorized officer of the Company, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and
distribute the Property in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund its regulatory compliance requirements and other costs related thereto (a “Regulatory Withdrawal”), plus
additional amounts that may be released to us to pay our franchise and income tax obligations, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released 

  
 2 













 
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 24 months after the closing
of the Offering 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 to fund the Company’s Regulatory Withdrawals and/or additional amounts necessary to pay its franchise and income tax obligations, if any (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 in the event the Trustee receives a
Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, or if the Trustee begins to liquidate the Property because it has received no such Termination Letter by the date which is 24 months after the closing of the Offering,
the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12) months following the date the Property has been distributed to the Public Stockholders; 

(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 (a “Tax Payment Withdrawal Instruction”), withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company to cover any
income or franchise tax obligation owed by the Company as a result of assets of the Company or interest or other income earned on the Property, which amount shall be delivered directly to the Company by electronic funds transfer or other method of
prompt payment, and the Company shall forward such tax 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; 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. 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 (a “Regulatory Withdrawal Instruction”), withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company to fund the
Company’s Regulatory Withdrawals, which amounts shall be delivered directly to the Company by electronic funds transfer or other method of prompt payment; provided, however, that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the
Trust Account to fund a Regulatory Withdrawal, the Trustee shall liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution. 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; 

(l)    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 E (a “Stockholder Redemption Withdrawal Instruction”), the Trustee shall distribute on behalf of the Company the 

  
 3 













 
amount requested by the Company to be used to redeem shares of Common Stock from Public Stockholders properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the
Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares of Common Stock if the Company has not consummated an initial Business
Combination within such time as is described in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to
distribute said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request; and 
 (m)    Not make
any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Sections 1(i), 1(j), 1(k) or 1(l) 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 Chairman of the Board,
President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i), 1(j), 1(k) and 1(l) 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 Section 4 hereof,
hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee and its sub agents from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee in connection with any action taken by it hereunder
and in connection with any 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 such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company
may participate in such action with its own counsel; 
 (c)    Pay the Trustee the fees set forth on Schedule A
hereto, including an initial acceptance fee, annual administration fee, and transaction processing fee 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 and until it is distributed to the Company pursuant to Sections 1(i) through 1(l) hereof. The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial 

  
 4 













 
acceptance fee and the first annual administration fee at the consummation of the Offering. The Trustee shall refund to the Company the monthly fee (on a pro rata basis) with respect to any
period after the liquidation of the Trust Account. 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 merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”), provide to the
Trustee an affidavit or certificate of the inspector of elections for the stockholder meeting verifying the vote of such stockholders regarding such Business Combination; 

(e)    Provide the Representative 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)    Instruct the Trustee to make only those distributions that are permitted under this Agreement, and refrain from
instructing the Trustee to make any distributions that are not permitted under this Agreement; and 
 (g)    Within four
(4) business days after the Underwriters exercise the over- allotment option (or any unexercised portion thereof) or such over-allotment expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing of the total amount of the Deferred Discount, which
shall in no event be less than $16,625,000. 
 3.    Limitations of Liability. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility or liability to: 
 (a)    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; 

(b)    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; 

(c)    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 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; 
 (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; 

  
 5 













 (f)    The other parties hereto or 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 accuracy of the information contained in the Registration Statement; 

(h)    Provide any assurance that any Business Combination entered into by the Company or any other action taken by the
Company is as contemplated by the Registration Statement; 
 (i)    File information returns with respect to the Trust
Account with any local, state or federal taxing authority or provide periodic written statements to the Company documenting the taxes payable by the Company, if any, relating to any interest income earned on the Property; 

(j)    Prepare, execute and file tax reports, income or other tax returns and pay any taxes with respect to any income
generated by, and activities relating to, the Trust Account, regardless of whether such tax is payable by the Trust Account or the Company, including, but not limited to, franchise and income tax obligations, except pursuant to
Section 1(j) hereof; or 
 (k)    Verify calculations, qualify or otherwise approve the
Company’s written requests for distributions pursuant to Sections 1(i), 1(j), 1(k) and 1(l) 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 Section 2(b) or Section 2(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. 

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, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this Agreement. At such time 

  
 6 













 
that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed 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 (90) 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 (which section may not be amended under any circumstances) and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement shall terminate
except with respect to Section 2(b). 
 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 shall 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 to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This Agreement may be executed in several original or facsimile counterparts, each one of which shall
constitute an original, and together shall constitute but one instrument. 
 (c)    This Agreement contains the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except for Sections 1(i) and 1(l) hereof (which may not be modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative vote of sixty five percent (65%) of
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company voting together as a single class; provided that no such amendment will affect any Public Stockholder who has otherwise indicated
his election to redeem his shares of Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote sought to amend this Agreement), 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.

 (d)    The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any
state or federal court located in the City of New York, State of New York, for purposes of resolving any disputes hereunder. AS TO ANY CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY.

 Re:    Trust Account No.             Termination
Letter 
 Dear Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez: 

Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Gores Holdings V, Inc. (the
“Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), dated as of August 10, 2020 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise you that the
Company has entered into an agreement with                    (the “Target Business”) to consummate a business combination
with Target Business (the “Business Combination”) on or about [insert date]. The Company shall notify you at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the actual date of the
consummation of the Business Combination (the “Consummation 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 all of the assets of the Trust Account,
and to transfer the proceeds into a segregated account held by you on behalf of the beneficiaries to the effect that, on the Consummation Date, all of funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or
accounts that the Company shall direct on the Consummation Date. It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust operating account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. awaiting distribution, the Company will not earn any
interest or dividends. 
 On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the
Business Combination has been consummated, or will be consummated concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company (the “Notification”) and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) [an
affidavit] [a certificate] of the Chief Executive Officer, which verifies that the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders, if a vote is held and (b) joint written instruction signed by the Company,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account, including payment of the Deferred Discount from the Trust Account (the “Instruction
Letter”). You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the Notification and the Instruction Letter, 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 Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the Company in writing 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 Consummation Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds, net of any payments necessary for
reasonable unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the Trust Account, your obligations under the Trust Agreement shall be terminated. 

In the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and we have not
notified you on or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation 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 Section 1(c)
of the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately following the Consummation Date as set forth in the notice as soon thereafter as possible.

Letter 
 Dear Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez: 

Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Gores Holdings V, Inc. (the
“Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), dated as of August 10, 2020 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise you that the

on                , 20     and to transfer the total proceeds into the trust operating account at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to await
distribution to the Public Stockholders. The Company has selected [                    ]1 as the
effective date for the purpose of determining when the Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive their share of the liquidation proceeds. You agree to be the Paying Agent of record and, in your separate capacity as Paying Agent, agree to
distribute said funds directly to the Company’s Public Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds, net of any
