 Attention: [●] 

Re: Initial Public Offering 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the
“Underwriting Agreement”) entered into or proposed to be entered into by and among Lerer Hippeau Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Barclays Capital Inc. and CODE Advisors LLC, as the
representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of
up to 23,000,000 of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock (including up to 3,000,000 shares that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any), par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). The Common Stock
will be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) and the Company has applied to have the Common Stock listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof. 

In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of LHAC Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company’s board of
directors, a nominee for membership on the Company’s board of directors and/or a member of the Company’s management team (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees, severally but
not jointly, with the Company as follows: 
 1. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a
proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her in favor of any proposed Business Combination and (ii) not redeem
any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder approval. If the Company engages in a tender offer in connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she
will not sell or tender any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her to the Company in connection therewith. 
 2. The Sponsor and
each Insider hereby agrees 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 as approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with
the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (such later period, an “Extension Period”), it, he or she 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 shares of Common Stock sold 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable and less up to $100,0000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption 












 
will completely extinguish all Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders of the Company (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 stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations
under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees not to propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation 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 a Business Combination within 24
months from the closing of the Public Offering or with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides Public
Stockholders 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 earned on the funds
held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares. 
 The Sponsor and each Insider
acknowledges that, with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by it, it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of any liquidation of the
Company (although the Sponsor and the Insiders shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the date of the
closing of the Public Offering or during any Extension Period). The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Capital Stock held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in
connection with (A) the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the
Company to purchase shares of Common Stock, or (B) a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (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 has not consummated a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering or
(ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. 

3. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, during the period commencing on the date of the Underwriting
Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (i) offer, pledge, hypothecate, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Private
Placement Shares or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, any Common Stock, Founder Shares or Private Placement Shares, (ii) file with, or submit to, the Commission a registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating to any shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, any Common Stock, Founder
Shares or Private Placement Shares, (iii) establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(“Section 16”) with respect to any shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, any Common Stock, Founder Shares or
Private Placement Shares, (iv) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares or any securities
convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, any Common Stock, Founder Shares or Private Placement Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (v) publicly disclose
the intention to undertake any transaction specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to the forfeiture of any Founder Shares pursuant to their terms. 












 4. In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of the Company to
consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering or during any Extension Period, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to the stockholders, members or managers of the
Sponsor or any of the other undersigned) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party (other than the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a
“Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor (x) shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party (other than the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Offering Share or (ii) such lesser amount per
Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in the Trust Account which may be
withdrawn to pay the Company’s taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and
(z) shall not apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable
against such third party, the Sponsor shall not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Sponsor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the
Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense. 

5. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common
Stock within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees that it shall forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares equal to the product of 750,000 multiplied by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which is 3,000,000 minus the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 3,000,000. The forfeiture will be
adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the number of Founder Shares will represent an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock after
the Public Offering (not including the Private Placement Shares). The Initial Stockholders agree that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company will effect a stock dividend or share repurchase or
contribution back to capital, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the number of Founder Shares at 20.0% of its issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock upon the consummation
of the Public Offering (not including the Private Placement Shares). In connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public Offering, then (A) the references to 3,000,000 in the numerator and denominator of the formula in the
first sentence of this paragraph shall be changed to a number equal to 15.0% of the number of shares included in the Common Stock issued in the Public Offering and (B) the reference to 750,000 in the formula set forth in the first sentence of
this paragraph 5 shall be adjusted to such number of Founder Shares that the Sponsor would have to return to the Company in order for the number of Founder Shares to equal an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of
Capital Stock after the Public Offering (not including the Private Placement Shares). 












 6. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the
Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or Insider of its, or his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), 7(b), 8 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 Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or
shares of Common Stock 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 Company’s initial Business Combination, if
the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, 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 the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or
other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares
Lock-up Period”). 
 (b) The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that, to the extent it, he or
she holds Private Placement Shares, it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Shares (or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Shares), until 30 days after the completion of the
Company’s initial Business Combination (the “Private Placement Shares 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 Shares and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Founder Shares and that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that
have complied with this paragraph 7(c)), are permitted (a) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, 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; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private
sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and shares of Common Stock were originally purchased; (f) in the
event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of its initial Business Combination; (g) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement, as amended, upon dissolution of
the Sponsor; or (h) in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their
shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Company’s completion of a Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (g), these permitted transferees must enter into a
written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein and the other restrictions contained in this Agreement (including provisions relating to voting, the Trust Account and liquidating distributions). 












 8. The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that it, he or she has never been
suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to the

Company and the Representatives is true and accurate in all respects.

 9. Except as disclosed in, or expressly contemplated by, the Prospectus, none of the Sponsor, any officer or director of the
Company or any affiliate of the Sponsor or any director or officer of the Company, shall receive from the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or
in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). 

10. The Sponsor and each Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound (including, without limitation,
any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement and, as applicable, to serve as an officer
and/or a director of the Company, as applicable, and hereby consents to being named in the Prospectus as an officer and/or director of the Company, as applicable.

“Initial Stockholders” shall mean the Sponsor and any Insider that holds Founder Shares prior to the consummation of the Public Offering; (vi) “Private Placement Shares” shall mean the 640,000 shares (700,000 shares if the

placement that shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering; (vii) “Public Stockholders” shall mean the holders of the Offering Shares; (viii) “Trust Account” shall mean the trust fund into which a

such change, amendment, modification or waiver, (2) the Company and (3) the Sponsor. 
 14. No party hereto may assign either this
Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to
