	 	Re:	 Side Letter Amendment 



Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This letter will confirm
(this “Agreement”) that Aspiration Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aspiration”), Inherent Aspiration, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Inherent”),
InterPrivate III Financial Partners Inc. (“InterPrivate”), a Delaware corporation, and Inherent Group, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Collateral Agent”), agree as follows. Capitalized terms used
but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 18, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Aspiration, InterPrivate, InterPrivate III
Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of InterPrivate, and InterPrivate III Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of InterPrivate. 

1. Downside Protection. 
  

	 	a.	 Grant of Company Holder Additional Shares. Subject to Section 1(b) below, in
the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $10.00 per share of Class A Common Stock, Inherent shall be entitled to receive from InterPrivate a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number
of Company Holder Committed Shares issued to Inherent at the Closing that Inherent holds through the Measurement Date, multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP, and (B) the
denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP (such additional shares, the “Company Holder Additional Shares”); provided that in no event shall the number of Company Holder Additional Shares issuable
pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Company Holder Additional Share Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock will be issued pursuant to this Section 1(a), and if Inherent
would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock, Inherent shall instead have the number of Company Holder Additional Shares issued to Inherent rounded down to the nearest whole share of Class A Common Stock,
without payment in lieu of such fractional shares. 


  













	 	b.	 Forfeiture of Additional Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if
(i) at any time from the Closing through the Measurement Date, Inherent is not the record and beneficial owner of all of the Company Holder Committed Shares or Inherent otherwise transfers its Company Holder Committed Shares from
InterPrivate’s transfer agent’s custody to a brokerage or other account not controlled by InterPrivate’s transfer agent on behalf of Inherent or (ii) at any time prior to the Measurement Date, Inherent or any person or entity
acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with Inherent, directly or indirectly, engages in a Hedging Transaction, Inherent shall automatically and irrevocably forfeit any right to or interest in any Company Holder Additional Shares.
InterPrivate may request, and Inherent agrees to provide, documentation reasonably necessary to evidence Inherent’s compliance with the terms of this Section 1(b) as a condition precedent to the issuance of Company Holder
Additional Shares to Inherent. 


  

	 	2.	 Lock-up 



 

	 	a.	 Restrictions on Transfer. Subject to Section 2(b), Inherent may not Transfer
any Lock-up Shares until the end of the Lock-up Period. 


  

	 	b.	 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 2(a),
Inherent and its Permitted Transferees may Transfer the Lock-up Shares during the Lock-up Period (a) to (i) InterPrivate’s officers or directors, (ii) any
affiliates or family members of InterPrivate’s officers or directors, or (iii) direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders of Inherent, any affiliates of Inherent or any related investment funds or vehicles controlled or managed
by such persons or entities or their respective affiliates; (b) in connection with any bona fide mortgage, encumbrance or pledge to a financial institution in connection with any bona fide loan or debt transaction or enforcement thereunder,
including foreclosure thereof and any subsequent sale by such financial institution; (c) to InterPrivate; or (d) in connection with a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization, tender offer approved by the board of directors of
InterPrivate or a duly authorized committee thereof or other similar transaction which results in all of InterPrivate’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to
the Closing. 


  

	 	3.	 Further Assurances. In the event of an amendment or other modification (including any side letter with
InterPrivate and its affiliates, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any stockholders of InterPrivate) to an existing Subscription Agreement or the execution of a Subsequent Subscription Agreement, in each case, that includes provisions that
provide materially different rights, benefits and obligations with respect to the investor party thereto than those in the Subscription Agreements, InterPrivate will (i) provide a copy of such amendment or other modification to the Subscription
Agreement or Subsequent Subscription Agreement within two Business Days prior to the execution of such agreement and (ii) promptly following execution of such agreement, revise the terms of this Agreement to ensure that the rights, benefits and
obligations provided under such amended Subscription Agreement or Subsequent Subscription Agreement to the investor party thereto are materially consistent with the rights, benefits and obligations provided to Inherent pursuant to this Agreement.
Upon receiving the draft from InterPrivate referenced in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, Inherent shall have two Business Days from receipt of the draft to agree to or reject such amendment to this Agreement provided that
such amendment is consistent with the terms of an amendment or modification made to an existing Subscription Agreement or the terms of a Subsequent Subscription Agreement (it being understood that a failure to timely respond shall be deemed approval
of such amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amendment or other modification is individually agreed to by all parties to all then existing Subscription Agreements or Subsequent Subscription Agreements, Inherent expressly acknowledges
and agrees to any such amendment to this Agreement.

	 	4.	 Amendments to Merger Agreement. In connection with the matters described herein, Aspiration and
InterPrivate have delivered to Inherent an executed copy of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “A&R Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among Aspiration, InterPrivate,
InterPrivate III Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of InterPrivate, and InterPrivate III Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of InterPrivate,
which, among other things, amends the terms of the Merger Agreement as follows: 


  

	 	a.	 Excludes Inherent from the list of parties who are entitled to receive Earnout Shares if certain conditions are
met as set forth in Article III of the Merger Agreement; 


  

	 	b.	 Excludes Inherent from the list of parties who are obligated to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock at
Closing to the Escrow Agent for issuance to the PIPE Investors if certain conditions are met as set forth in Section 2.14 of the Merger Agreement; 


  

	 	c.	 Creates an additional escrow fund substantially similar to the fund described in Section 2.1.4 of the
Merger Agreement from which to issue Company Holder Additional Shares to Inherent if required pursuant to the terms of Section 1 of this Agreement; and 



 

	 	d.	 Makes such other amendments to the terms of the Merger Agreement as required to effect the terms of this
Section 4. 


  

	 	5.	 Registration Statement and Related Rights. In the event that Inherent is issued Company Holder
Additional Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Inherent shall have the same registration rights with respect to the Company Holder Additional Shares as the PIPE Investors have with respect to the resale of the Additional Shares (as
defined in the Subscription Agreements) set forth in Section 5 of the Subscription Agreements; provided that InterPrivate may register the resale of the Company Holder Additional Shares on the Additional Shares Registration Statement (as
defined in the Subscription Agreements). In furtherance of the foregoing, the registration rights in Section 5 of the Subscription Agreements relating to the resale of the Additional Shares (as defined in the Subscription Agreements) are hereby
incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis with respect to the Company Holder Additional Shares. If Inherent, in good faith and on the advice of its counsel, determines that Inherent is an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under
the Securities Act) of either InterPrivate or Aspiration, Inc. either at the Closing or at the time the Transactions are submitted for a vote or consent, Inherent shall have the same registration rights with respect to the Company Holder Committed
Shares as the PIPE Investors have with respect to the Committed Shares (as defined in the Subscription Agreements) set forth in Section 5 of the Subscription Agreements; provided that InterPrivate may register the resale of the Company Holder
Committed Shares on the Committed Shares Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreements). In furtherance of the foregoing, the registration rights in Section 5 of the Subscription Agreements relating to the resale of the
Committed Shares (as defined in the Subscription Agreements) are hereby incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis with respect to the Company Holder Committed Shares.
