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 by and between Gores Holdings IX, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public
Offering”), of up to 52,500,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 7,875,000 units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Units”), each comprised of one share of the
Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-third of one warrant. Each whole Warrant (each, a “Warrant”)
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units shall 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 shall apply to have the
Units 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, [the undersigned (the
“Insider”), whom is a member of the Company’s board of directors and/or management team] [Gores Sponsor IX LLC (the “Insider”)], hereby agrees with the Company as follows: 

1. The Insider agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed
Business Combination, he shall (i) vote any shares of Capital Stock owned by him in favor of any proposed Business Combination and (ii) not redeem any shares of Common Stock owned by him in connection with such stockholder approval. 

2. The 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 approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, 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 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Common Stock 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 up
to $900,000 per year of interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company for regulatory withdrawals, and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 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 (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any),
subject to applicable law, 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 Insider agrees to not propose any amendment (i) 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 the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public
Offering or (ii) with respect to any other provision of Article IX of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, unless the Company provides its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of
Common Stock 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 up to $900,000 per year of interest earned
on the funds held in the Trust Account 

 
and not previously released to the Company for regulatory withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares. 

The Insider acknowledges that he 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 the Founder Shares held by him. The Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by him, if any, any redemption rights he may have
in connection with 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 (although the Insider and his respective affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination
within 24 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering). Each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with a
stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation 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 (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination
activity. 
 3. During the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the
Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise
dispose of or agree to dispose of, 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 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 of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common
Stock owned by him, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares, Warrants or any securities
convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by him, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect
any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). The Insider acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver, of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 3 or paragraph 7 below, the Company shall announce
the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted shall only be effective two business days after the
publication date of such press release. 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. 
 4. (a)
In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, Gores Sponsor IX LLC (the “Sponsor”) (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) 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 for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) a
prospective target business with which the Company has entered into an acquisition agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor shall apply only to the
extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent public accountants) 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 share of the Offering Shares or (ii) such lesser amount per share of the Offering Shares held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account,
in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party (including a Target) who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to
the Trust Account and except as to 

  
 2 

 
any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 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. 

(b) The Company will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, exonerate and hold the Sponsor and its managers and
members, and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, affiliates, associated investment funds, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling persons, employees and agents and each of the partners, shareholders, members,
affiliates, associated investment funds, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, whether or not a signatory hereto (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) free
and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee or any of them (collectively, the
“Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of or in connection with any action, cause of action, suit, arbitration, investigation or claim arising out of, or in any way relating to (i) this Agreement, the Public Offering,
any completed, abandoned or failed Business Combination or any other agreement or arrangement in connection with the Public Offering or any completed, abandoned or failed Business Combination, or any review or approval of any proposed, abandoned,
failed or completed Business Combination or any proxy or other solicitation of shareholder approval or authorization of any proposed, abandoned, failed or completed Business Combination, (ii) any investment opportunities sourced by the
Indemnitees, (iii) any act or omission of an Indemnitee in connection with the Company’s or its affiliates’ affairs or (iv) the operations of, or services provided by an Indemnitee to, the Company or any of its affiliates,
whether arising prior to or on and after the date hereof and shall advance costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any of the foregoing upon and following receipt of an
undertaking from the applicable Indemnitee to repay (without interest) any amounts advanced if indemnification hereunder is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be owed; provided, that if and to the extent that
the foregoing indemnification or advancement rights may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is
permissible under applicable law. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement hereunder will be primary and in addition to any other rights any such person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee
is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation. In addition, the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will not entitle such Indemnitee to access the funds held in the Trust Account, as
defined below, and any indemnification hereunder will not be permitted to be funded by funds held in the Trust Account. Each Indemnitee (as defined herein) is an intended third party beneficiary of this section 5, whether or not such Indemnitee is a
signatory to this Agreement. 
 5. To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an
additional 7,875,000 Units within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees to forfeit, at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to 1,968,750 multiplied by a
fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 7,875,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 7,875,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to
the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the Initial Stockholders will own an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock after the Public Offering.

 6. The Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured in the event
of a breach by such Insider of his obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4(a), 5, 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 injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach. 

  
 3 

 7. (a) The Insider agrees that he shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until 180 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”). 

(b) The Insider agrees that he shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
upon the 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 shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares and that are held by the Sponsor, 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, transfers by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, 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, transfers by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;
(e) transfers 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 securities were originally purchased; (f) transfers in the event of the
Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; (g) transfers by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; and
(h) in the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger, capital 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 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 agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein. 
 8. The Insider represents and warrants that he 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. The Insider’s biographical information furnished to the Company
(including any such information included in the Prospectus) is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with respect to the Insider’s background. The Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company is
true and accurate in all respects. The Insider represents and warrants that: he is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for, any injunction,
cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any jurisdiction; he has never
been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i) involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities and he is not currently a
defendant in any such criminal proceeding. 
 9. There will be no restrictions on payments made to the Insider. However, prior to
consummation of the Business Combination the Company shall not make any payment to the Insider from the proceeds held in the Trust Account including, but not limited to repayment of a loan and advances of up to an aggregate of $450,000 made to the
Company by the Sponsor; payment to an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support for a total of $20,000 per month; reimbursement of legal fees and expenses incurred by the Insider in connection
with the Company’s formation, the initial Business Combination and their services to the Company; payment of fees and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination; and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by the Company from time to time, made by the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers
or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination, a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust
Account may be used by the Company to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option
of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

 10. The Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which he 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 a director on the board of directors of the Company and hereby consents to being named in the Prospectus as a director of the Company.

Underwriters) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000.00, or approximately $0.002 per share, prior to the consummation of the Public Offering; (iv) “Initial Stockholders” shall mean the Sponsor and Insider that holds
Founder Shares; (v) “Private Placement Warrants” shall mean the Warrants to purchase up to 8,333,333 shares of Common Stock of the Company (or up to 9,383,333 shares of Common Stock if the over-allotment option is
exercised in full) that the Sponsor has agreed to purchase for an aggregate purchase price of $12,500,000 in the aggregate (or $14,075,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $1.50 per Warrant, in a private placement that shall
occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering; (vi) “Public Stockholders” shall mean the holders of securities issued in the Public Offering; (vii) “Trust Account” shall mean the
trust fund into which a portion of the net proceeds of the Public Offering shall be deposited; and (viii) “Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of

in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention to effect any

transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto. 

13. 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 party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be
binding on the Insider and his respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees. 
 14. This Letter 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. The parties

WHEREAS, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, No. 333-261777 (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-third 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

 WHEREAS, as described in the Prospectus, $525,000,000 of
the gross proceeds of the Offering and sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) (or $603,750,000 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 $18,375,000, or $21,131,250 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 a 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

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 $18,375,000. 
 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:

Re: Trust Account No. Termination Letter 
 Dear [•]

 Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Gores Holdings IX, Inc. (the “Company”) and
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”), dated as of [•], 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement with (the “Target
Business”) to consummate a business combination with Target Business (the “Business Combination”) on or about [insert date]. The Company shall notify you at least
seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement. 
 In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate
all of the assets of the Trust Account, and to transfer the proceeds into a segregated account held by you on behalf of the beneficiaries to the effect that, on the Consummation Date, all of funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately
available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company shall direct on the Consummation Date. It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust operating account awaiting distribution, the Company will not
earn any interest or dividends. 
 On the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business
Combination has been consummated, or will be consummated concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company (the “Notification”) and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) [an
affidavit] [a certificate] of the Chief Executive Officer, which verifies that the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders, if a vote is held and (b) joint written instruction signed by the Company,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account, including payment of the Deferred Discount from the Trust Account (the “Instruction
Letter”). You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the Notification and the Instruction Letter, in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In
the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the Company in writing of the same and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in
the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds, net of any payments necessary for reasonable unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the Trust Account, your obligations
under the Trust Agreement shall be terminated. 
 In the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the
notice thereof and we have not notified you on or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Company, the funds held in the Trust Account shall

 
be reinvested as provided in Section 1(c) of the Trust Agreement on the business day immediately following the Consummation Date as set forth in the notice as soon thereafter as possible.
