RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of
                     (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by CarGurus, Inc. (the “Company”) to
                    , who is a Non-Employee Director (the “Participant”). 

RECITALS 
 The CarGurus, Inc. Omnibus
Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of restricted stock units. The Board has decided to make this grant of restricted stock units as an inducement for the Participant to promote the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders. The Participant hereby acknowledges the receipt of a copy of the official prospectus for the Plan, which is available by accessing the Company’s intranet at
https://cargurus.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HR/overview. Paper copies of the Plan and the official Plan prospectus are available by contacting the Senior Vice President, General Counsel of the Company at 617.315.4900 or
legal@cargurus.com. This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan and is subject in its entirety to all applicable provisions of the Plan. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined will have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

 1.    Grant of Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, the Company
hereby grants the Participant              restricted stock units, subject to the restrictions set forth below and in the Plan (the “Stock Units”). Each Stock Unit
represents the right of the Participant to receive a share of Class A common stock of the Company (“Company Stock”) on the applicable payment date set forth in Section 5 below. 

2.    Stock Unit Account. Stock Units represent hypothetical shares of Company Stock, and not actual shares of stock. The Company
shall establish and maintain a Stock Unit account, as a bookkeeping account on its records, for the Participant and shall record in such account the number of Stock Units granted to the Participant. No shares of Company Stock shall be issued to the
Participant at the time the grant is made, and the Participant shall not be, and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Stock Units recorded in the Stock Unit account. The Participant
shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this award or the Stock Unit account established for the Participant. 

 3.    Vesting. 

(a)    The Stock Units shall become vested according to the following schedule (each, a “Vesting Date”),
provided that the Participant continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer from the Date of Grant until the applicable Vesting Date: 
  

			
	 Vesting Date
	 	 Vested Stock Units

		 	            
		 	            
		 	
		 	

 (b)     The vesting of the Stock Units shall be cumulative, but shall not exceed
100% of the Stock Units. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional Stock Units, the number of Stock Units that vest shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Stock Unit and the fractional Stock Units will be accumulated so that the
resulting whole Stock Units will be included in the number of Stock Units that become vested on the last Vesting Date. 

(c)    In the event of a Change of Control before all of the Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 3(a) above,
the provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control shall apply to the Stock Units. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Participant continues to provide services to the Company from the Date of Grant until the date of the Change of Control, 100% of any then-unvested Stock Units shall become vested immediately prior to such Change of Control. 

4.    Termination of Stock Units. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer for any reason
before all of the Stock Units vest, any unvested Stock Units shall automatically terminate and shall be forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service. No payment shall be made with respect to any unvested
Stock Units that terminate as described in this Section 4. 
 5.    Payment of Stock Units. 

(a)    If and when the Stock Units vest, the Company shall issue to the Participant one share of Company Stock for each
vested Stock Unit, subject to applicable tax withholding obligations. Payment shall be made within 30 days after the applicable Vesting Date. 

(b)    All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of the Employer as set forth in
the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable. At the time of payment in accordance with Section 5(a) above, the number of shares issued to the Participant shall be reduced by a number of shares of Company
Stock with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the Vesting Date) equal to an amount of the federal (including FICA), state, local and other tax liabilities required by law to be withheld with respect to the payment of the Stock Units. To the extent
not withheld in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Participant shall be required to pay to the Employer, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Employer to provide for the payment of, any federal, state, local or other
taxes that the Employer is required to withhold with respect to the Stock Units. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, share withholding for taxes shall not exceed the Participant’s minimum applicable tax withholding amount. 

  
 2 

 (c)    The obligation of the Company to deliver Company Stock shall also be
subject to the condition that if at any time the Board shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares, the shares may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall
have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. The issuance of shares to Participant pursuant to this Agreement is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state
having jurisdiction thereof. 
 6.    No Stockholder Rights; Dividend Equivalents. Neither the Participant, nor any person
entitled to receive payment in the event of the Participant’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to shares of Company Stock, including voting or dividend rights, until certificates for shares have
been issued upon payment of Stock Units. The Participant acknowledges that no election under Section 83(b) of the Code is available with respect to Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall be entitled to accrue
Dividend Equivalents on the shares underlying the Stock Units prior to the Vesting Date, which shall be credited to the Stock Unit account for the Participant and will be paid or distributed in the form of shares Company Stock when the shares
underlying the Stock Units vest and are issued in accordance with this Agreement. 
 7.    Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This
grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The grant and payment of the Stock Units are subject to the provisions of the Plan and
to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and
obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares of Company Stock, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company and (d) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee
shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Stock Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder. 

8.    No Employment or Other Rights. The grant of the Stock Units shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained by
or in the employ or service of any Employer and shall not interfere in any way with the right of any Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time. The right of any Employer to terminate at will the
Participant’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved. 
 9.    Assignment and Transfers.
Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, the rights and interests of the Participant under this Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Participant,
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Stock Units or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement, or
in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Stock Units by notice to the Participant, and the Stock Units and all rights hereunder shall
thereupon become null and void. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates. This Agreement may be assigned by the
Company without the Participant’s consent.

 10.    Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. The validity, construction, interpretation and
effect of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any action arising out of, or relating to, any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be brought only in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Boston, Massachusetts,
and the jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding shall be exclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, on and after the date a Participant receives shares of Company Stock hereunder, the Participant will be subject to the jurisdiction
provision set forth in the Company’s bylaws.  
 11.    Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this
instrument shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Senior Vice President, General Counsel, with copy to the Chief Financial Officer, at the corporate headquarters of the Company, and any notice to the Participant shall be addressed

 12.    Recoupment Policy. The Participant agrees that, subject to the requirements of
applicable law, if the Participant breaches any restrictive covenant agreement between the Participant and the Employer or otherwise engages in activities that constitute Cause either while employed by, or providing service to, the Employer or
within 12 months thereafter, the Stock Units shall terminate, and the Company may rescind delivery of shares upon payment of the Stock Units, as applicable on such terms as the Committee shall determine, including the right to require that in the
event of any such rescission, (a) the Participant shall return to the Company the shares received upon payment of the Stock Units or, (b) if the Participant no longer owns the shares, the Participant shall pay to the Company the amount of
any gain realized or payment received as a result of any sale or other disposition of the shares (or, in the event the Participant transfers the shares by gift or otherwise without consideration, the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of
the breach of any restrictive covenant agreement or activity constituting Cause), net of the price originally paid by the Participant for the shares, if applicable. The Participant agrees that payment by the Participant shall be made in such manner
and on such terms and conditions as may be required by the Committee and the Employer shall be entitled to set off against the amount of any such payment any amounts otherwise owed to the Participant by the Employer. In addition, the Participant
agrees that the Stock Units shall be subject to any applicable clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies and other policies that may be implemented by the Board or imposed under applicable rule or regulation from time to time.

			﻿
		

		
			SECTION 1.2    REAL ESTATE TERM LOAN.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date Lender agrees to make a term loan (the “Real Estate Term Loan”) to Borrower in an amount equal to the Real Estate Term Loan Amount. The Real Estate Term Loan shall be repaid in equal monthly payments of $8,333.33, payable on the first day of each month commencing February 1, 2018. As set forth in Section 1.7(a), the outstanding principal balance of the Real Estate Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Termination Date.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(b)    Any prepayment of the Real Estate Term Loan shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 3% of the principal amount prepaid during the period from the Closing Date until the first anniversary thereof, 2% of the principal amount prepaid during the period thereafter until the second anniversary thereof, and 1% of the principal amount prepaid during the period thereafter until the third anniversary thereof.

			﻿
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			SECTION 1.4    PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(a)    Collection Accounts, Etc. All payments by Borrower will be made as specified in the Loan Documents or as otherwise directed by Lender, without setoff, counterclaim or defense. Within 30 days of the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and maintain at Lender, at the expense of Borrower, such blocked accounts or such lockboxes and related blocked accounts with Lender may specify (collectively, the “Collection Accounts”). Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all payments of Accounts and other Collateral to be remitted, and Borrower shall instruct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Account Debtors obligated in respect of such Accounts to remit all payments, to the Collection Accounts or as otherwise directed by Lender. Without prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall (i) not withdraw any funds from any Collection Account, (ii) cause all funds on deposit in or deposited into the Collection Accounts to be remitted to Lender, on a daily basis, at Lender's Account and (iii) execute and deliver to Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, a deposit account control agreement with respect to each Collection Account (collectively, the “Deposit Account Control Agreements”), including each Collection Account existing at the Closing Date and whether or not maintained at Lender. Each Deposit Account Control Agreement shall provide for remittance to Lender at Lender's Account, on a daily basis, of all funds on deposit in or deposited into the Collection Accounts. Lender is irrevocably authorized, at any time, to give instructions pursuant to such Deposit Account Control Agreements directing the disposition of funds in the Collection Accounts to Lender's Account or to such other account(s) as Lender may determine. If any Obligor receives payment or the proceeds of Collateral directly, Borrower shall or shall cause such other Obligor, as applicable, to promptly deposit, and in any event on or before the next Business Day following receipt thereof, such payment or proceeds into a Collection Account (or, prior to the opening of such Collection Accounts, to Lender's Account or as otherwise directed by Lender). Until so deposited, Borrower shall hold, or as applicable shall cause such Obligor to hold, all such payments and proceeds in trust for Lender without commingling with other funds or property. Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, deliver to Lender bank statements for the Collection Accounts and grant Lender access, including by all available electronic means, to such Collection Accounts.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(b)    Application of Payments. All payments of and proceeds of Collateral received by Lender, in immediately available funds, will be applied (i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the balance of the Advances then outstanding and, thereafter, to Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law and (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the Obligations then due in such manner as Lender determines in its sole discretion. After payment in full in cash of all Obligations, any remaining balance shall be paid to Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. For purposes of calculating Availability, each payment will be applied to the Obligations as of the first Business Day following receipt by Lender in Lender's Account of such payment in immediately available funds, provided such payment is received in accordance with Lender's usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time. Any payment received by Lender that is not a transfer of immediately available funds will be considered provisional until the item or items representing such payment have been finally paid under applicable law. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower will be deemed not to have made such payment, and that portion of Borrower's outstanding Obligations corresponding to the amount of such dishonored payment item will be deemed to bear interest as if the dishonored payment item had never been received by Lender. Each reduction in outstanding Obligations resulting from the application to such Obligations of payments of Accounts will be accompanied by an equal reduction in the amount of outstanding Accounts.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(c)    Loan Account; Clearance Charge. Lender will record in the Loan Account all Advances made by Lender, the Real Estate Term Loan, the M&E Term Loan and all other payment Obligations, and the Revolver Note, the Real Estate Term Loan Note and the M&E Term Loan Note also shall evidence the Advances, the Real Estate Term Loan the M&E Term Loan, respectively. Borrower authorizes Lender to collect all principal, interest and fees due under the Line of Credit and with respect to the Real Estate Term Loan and M&E Term Loan by charging the Loan Account and, any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the charging thereof will be deemed to be an Advance and will bear interest at the rate per annum applicable thereto. All Collections received by Lender will be applied as provided in Section 1.4(b).  All postings to the Loan Account shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Lender but shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate. All monthly statements relating to the Loan Account or such account will be conclusively presumed to be
		

		

		

		 

		

			-2-

		

 

		
		

		
			correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and Lender unless Borrower delivers written objection to Lender within 45 days after receipt by Borrower. Advances paid with Collections will continue to accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances for the number of Settlement Days following the Business Day that such Collections were applied to the Obligations. Any such clearance charge on Collections is acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect of the pricing of the financing of Borrower. The parties acknowledge and agree that the economic benefit of these provisions will accrue exclusively to Lender.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(d)    Mandatory Payment of Advances. If at any time an Overadvance Amount is outstanding, then Borrower shall immediately upon demand by Lender repay the Advances in an aggregate amount equal to such Overadvance Amount.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			SECTION 1.5    INTEREST/FEES.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(a)    Interest. Except as provided in Section 1.5(b) or Section 1.5(c), the outstanding principal balances of Advances, the Real Estate Term Loan, and the M&E Term Loan (collectively, the “Loans”) will bear interest on the Daily Balance of such Loans, as applicable, at a variable per annum rate equal to the Contract Prime Rate.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(b)    LIBOR Option. In lieu of having interest charged at the Contract Prime Rate, Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all of the Loans be charged at a rate of interest equal to the Contract LIBOR Rate. On the last day of each applicable month, unless Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect to the outstanding balances of the Loans, the interest rate applicable to such principal balances automatically shall convert to the Contract Prime Rate. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that the outstanding principal balances of the Loans bear interest at a rate based upon Daily One Month LIBOR and Lender shall have the right to convert the interest rate on such outstanding principal balances to the Contract Prime Rate. Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any month (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrower's election of the LIBOR Option shall be made by delivery to Lender of LIBOR Notice, received by Lender in writing, or by telephonic notice received by Lender before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Lender of a LIBOR Notice received by Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. on the same day).
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(c)    Default Rate. During a Default Period, and at any time following the Termination Date, the outstanding principal balances of the Loans will, at the sole discretion of Lender, bear interest on the Daily Balance of such Obligations at the Default Rate. Lender may assess the Default Rate commencing as of the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default or as of any date after the occurrence of an Event of Default regardless of the date of reporting or declaration of such Event of Default.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(d)    Payment of Interest. Interest will be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date, commencing February 1, 2018. After the Termination Date, interest will be payable on demand.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(e)    Payment of Fees. Borrower will pay to Lender the fees set forth in Schedule B-2, all of which shall be fully earned and payable when due, may be charged by Lender to the Loan Account and shall not be subject to refund, rebate or proration for any reason whatsoever.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(f)    Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees will be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			SECTION 1.6    ADDITIONAL COSTS.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(a)    Capital Requirements. Borrower will pay Lender, on demand, for Lender's costs or losses arising from any Change in Law which are allocated to this Agreement or any credit outstanding under this Agreement. The allocation will be made as determined by Lender, using any reasonable method. The costs include, without limitation, (i) any reserve or deposit requirements (excluding any reserve requirement already reflected in the calculation of the interest rate in this Agreement), and (ii) any capital requirements relating to Lender's assets and commitments for credit.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(b)    Illegality; Impractibility; Increased Costs. In the event that (i) any change in market conditions or any Change in Law makes it unlawful or impractical for Lender to fund or maintain extensions of credit with
		

		

		

		 

		

			-3-

		

 

		
		

		
			interest based upon Daily One Month LIBOR or to continue to so fund or maintain, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily One Month LIBOR, (ii) Lender determines that by reasons affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily One Month LIBOR, or (iii) Lender determines that the interest rate based on the Daily One Month LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding Loans at the interest rate based upon Daily One Month LIBOR, Lender will give notice of such changed circumstances to Borrower and interest on the principal amount of such extensions of credit will then accrue interest at a rate equal to the Contract Prime Rate until Lender determines that the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iii) no longer exist.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			SECTION 1.7    TERM AND TERMINATION.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(a)    Termination Date. On the Termination Date, (i) the Line of Credit will terminate,(ii) Borrower shall have no right to request further Advances or other extensions of credit under this Agreement, (iii) all of the Obligations including without limitation, the Termination Fee, if any, will immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, and (iv) Borrower will immediately repay all of the Obligations in full. No termination of this Agreement will relieve or discharge the Obligors of their duties, obligations, or covenants under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Lender may require cash collateralization of Obligations with respect to any then existing Bank Product in an amount determined by Lender as sufficient to satisfy the reasonably estimated credit exposure therefor.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(b)    Termination of Liens, etc. Upon satisfaction of the Lien Release Conditions, Lender will, at Borrower's expense, release or terminate any filings or other agreements that perfect the Liens granted to Lender under the Loan Documents in the Collateral.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(c)    Termination by Borrower. Subject to payment of any prepayment premium provided hereunder, Borrower may terminate the Line of Credit at any time prior to any Maturity Date, if it (i) pays to Lender the applicable termination fee specified in this Agreement, and (ii) pays the Obligations in full. Any such termination will be irrevocable.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(d)    Termination by Lender. Lender may terminate the Line of Credit, immediately and without any advance notice to Borrower, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or at any time when a Default Period exists.

Any such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Lender's discretion.

			SECTION 7.6    GENERAL. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties; provided that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its interests, rights or obligations under this Agreement without Lender's prior written consent. Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender's rights and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the event of any assignment by Lender of all of its rights and obligations as “Lender” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no ongoing obligations in such capacity hereunder and thereunder and shall look only to assignee for performance after such assignment of the obligations of “Lender” hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to each credit subject hereto and supersede all prior negotiations, communications, discussions and correspondence concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or modified only in writing signed by each party to this Agreement. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person will be a third party beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents to which it is not a party. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement and each other of the Loan Documents. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document will be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or any remaining provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original, and all of which when taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and any party's failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.
