This Investment Management Trust Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of January 22, 2021 by and between Gores
Metropoulos II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a Delaware corporation (the “Trustee”). 

WHEREAS, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1,
No. 333-261663 (the “Registration Statement”) and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) for the initial public offering of the Company’s units (the
“Units”), each of which consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-fifth of
one warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock (such initial public offering hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”), has been declared effective as of the date hereof by
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting
Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Underwriters”) named therein; and 

WHEREAS, as described in the Prospectus, $400,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering and sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the
Underwriting Agreement) (or $460,000,000 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 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 $14,000,000, or $16,100,000 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 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 express 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 up to $900,000 per year of 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 to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents
referred to therein, or (y) upon (1) the date which is 24 months after the closing of the Offering or (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 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; 

(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,
subject to an annual cap of $900,000, 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 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 the absence of bad faith 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, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost or expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of
legal counsel) that may be paid, incurred or 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 (in each case as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). 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, conditioned or delayed. 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, conditioned or delayed. The Company may participate
in such action with its own counsel and at its own expense; 
 (c) Pay the Trustee the fees in accordance with a mutually agreed upon schedule, 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 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), the fee schedule 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 $14,000,000. 












 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 (in each case as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction); 

(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; 
 (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, except for the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct (in each case as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).
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 the
absence of bad faith, 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. 
 (l) Compensate the Company or any other person for and shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of
the Property that may result from any deposit made by Trustee in accordance with this Agreement, including any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other third party. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any liability of the Trustee under this Agreement will be limited to the amount of annual fees
paid by the Company to the Trustee during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from the Trustee is being sought (except for liability resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct). Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the Trustee be liable for special, punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damages of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, lost profits), even if
apprised of the possibility of such loss or damages. 
 The obligations of the Company and the rights and immunities of the Trustee contained in this
Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Trustee. 












 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 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 (in each
case as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), 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. As a condition precedent to the
Trustee’s execution of any amendment or modification, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of an authorized officer which shall state that the amendment or modification is in accordance with this Section 6(c). 

(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. 












 (e) Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or by facsimile transmission:
