Re:     Director
Appointment


 


Ms. Bradford:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 



     


     


     


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


 


3.            Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, during the period commencing on October 8, 2020 and ending
180 days after such date, the Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, offer,
sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or might reasonably
be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement
or otherwise)), directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent
position within the meaning of Section 16 (“Section 16”) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to, any Units, Shares,
Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares, or publicly announce an intention
to effect any such transaction. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if the release or waiver is effected solely to
permit a transfer not for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this
Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

5.            [Reserved.]


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(c)            Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b), transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Ordinary
Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares, are permitted
(a) to the Company’s directors or officers, any affiliates or family members of the Company’s directors or officers,
SCH Sponsor IV LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), any members of the Sponsor
or any affiliates of the Sponsor; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate
family, or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such
person, or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon
death of the individual; (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 the Company’s Business Combination at prices no greater than
the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (f) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to
the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination; (g) in the case of an entity, by virtue of the laws of
its jurisdiction or its organizational documents or operating agreement; and (h) in the event of the Company’s completion
of a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s
shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion
of the Company’s initial Business Combination; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (a) through (e), these
permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in
this Agreement.
