 Joseph Sirosh 

Dear Joseph: 
 This letter agreement amends and
restates the offer letter between you and Compass, Inc. (the “Company”)1, dated September 25, 2018 (the “Prior Agreement”) effective March 1, 2021. 

You will continue to work in the role of Chief Technology Officer, reporting to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. 

1.    Cash Compensation. In this position, the Company will pay you an annual base salary payable in
accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule. Your pay will be periodically reviewed as a part of the Company’s regular reviews of compensation. 

2.    Signing Bonus. The Company previously provided you with a signing bonus (the
“Signing Bonus”). In the event of a Qualified Termination (as defined below), the Signing Bonus shall not be subject to any repayment requirements whatsoever. In the event that the Company
terminates your employment for Cause (defined below) or of your voluntary resignation without Good Reason (defined below) prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the date you commenced employment with the Company (the “Start
Date”), you shall immediately repay fifty percent (50%) of the entire Signing Bonus to the Company; subsequent to the third (3rd) anniversary of your Start Date, no portion of the Signing Bonus shall be repaid to the
Company regardless of the circumstances of the termination of the employment relationship. The Company, at its option, shall have the automatic right to offset any compensation owed to you against the Signing Bonus repayment amount, to the maximum
extent permissible by applicable law, in order to recoup the same. 
 3.    Equity. You previously
received an option (“Option”) to purchase 258,044 common shares of Compass, Inc. under its Third Amended & Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) 64,511 of such common
shares are referred to herein as the “25% Option Number.” The Option remains subject to the terms of the option agreement by and between you and the Company (the “Option Agreement”). 

You also previously received an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) representing the right to receive 45,537 common shares of
Compass, Inc. under the Plan. 11,384 of such RSUs are referred to herein as the “25% RSU Number.” The award remains subject to the terms of the RSU award agreement by and between you and the Company (the “Award
Agreement”). Your RSU award and any RSUs thereunder may be modified as required to comply with applicable law. 

4.    Relocation. The Company will pay for your relocation expenses up to a gross amount of $45,000
as an advance cash lump sum (subject to applicable taxes and withholdings, referred to herein as the “Relocation Amount”). If your employment relationship ceases and such cessation is not due to a Qualified Termination (as
defined below) prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of your Start Date, you will be responsible for reimbursing the Company the full amount of the Relocation Amount. The Company, at its option, shall have the automatic right to offset any
compensation owed to you against the Relocation Amount, to the maximum extent permissible by applicable law, in order to recoup the same. 

 

	1 	 Any reference to the Company will be understood to include any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company
that employs you, including Compass, Inc. 

 5.    Severance: Solely in the event of a Qualified
Termination (defined below), then, subject to your execution and non-revocation of an effective release of claims in favor of the Company in a form substantially similar to the template release attached hereto
as Addendum B, the Company shall pay to you: (i) a lump-sum cash payment equal to 24 months of your then-current base salary, commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following your separation from service (as
defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) resulting from a Qualified Termination, provided that the release of claims has become effective; (ii) a lump-sum cash payment equal to 200%
of your target bonus for the calendar year prior to the applicable calendar year in which the Qualified Termination occurs, which will be paid at the same time as your base salary and subject to the terms in subsection (i); (iii) provided that you
elect COBRA continuation coverage within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for you and your eligible dependents, the Company will pay the premiums you and your eligible dependents to continue healthcare coverage at the rates then in
effect for active employees, subject to any subsequent changes in rates that are generally applicable to the Company’s active employees, until the earliest of (A) a period of 18 months from the date of the termination of your employment,
(B) the date you become employed by a third party and are eligible for coverage under the group benefits plan of such new employer, of which you shall immediately inform the Company in writing; (C) the date upon which you cease to be
eligible for coverage under COBRA or other applicable law or policy governing such coverage; (iv) any accrued, but unpaid, base salary for services rendered through the date of the Qualified Termination; (v) a lump sum payment equal to
your base salary pay for vacation days accrued, but unused as of the date of the Qualified Termination; (vi) a lump sum payment equal to the amount of any expenses, subject to the Company’s customary reimbursement policy, that have been
approved but not yet paid to you as of the date of the Qualified Termination; and (vii) a cash lump-sum in an amount equal to Relocation Amount to be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day
following your separation from service due to Qualified Termination, provided that the release has become effective. These payments shall be subject to all applicable withholdings for federal, state and local income taxes, social security, and all
other customary withholdings and shall be paid in accordance with the Company standard payroll practices. 
 For the purposes of the Option Agreement and
this offer letter, and subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, if the date of a Qualified Termination is prior to the first anniversary of your Start Date, then the Company’s
Right of Repurchase (as defined in the Option Agreement) shall lapse as to a number of common shares equal to the greater of the 25% Option Number and a number of common shares equaling the quotient resulting from $11,900,000 divided by the most
recent price at which preferred shares of the Company have been sold by the Company to a third party as part of a substantial financing or other major transaction (the “Preferred PPS”). In the event that a Qualified
Termination is subsequent to the first anniversary of your Start Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of your Start Date, then the Company’s Right of Repurchase shall lapse as to a number of shares such that the aggregate total of
common shares for which the Company’s Right of Repurchase has lapsed as of such date is 129,022. In the event that a Qualified Termination is subsequent to the second anniversary of your Start Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of
your Start Date, then the Company’s Right of Repurchase shall lapse as to a number of shares such that the aggregate total of common shares for which the Company’s Right of Repurchase has lapsed as of such date is 193,533. In the event
that a Qualified Termination is subsequent to the third anniversary of your Start Date but on or prior to the fourth anniversary of your Start Date, then the Company’s Right of Repurchase shall lapse as to a number of shares such that the
aggregate total of common shares for which the Company’s Right of Repurchase has lapsed as of such date is 258,044. 
 For the purposes of the Award
Agreement and this Offer Letter, and subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the service-based vesting requirement set forth in Section 6 shall be satisfied (i.e., there shall
be “Service-Based Satisfaction”) with respect to the greater of a number of RSUs for common shares equal to the 25% RSU Number and a number of RSUs for common shares equaling the quotient resulting from $2,100,000 divided by
the Preferred PPS 

  
 2 

 on the date of a Qualified Termination, in the event that a Qualified Termination is on or prior to the
first anniversary of your Start Date. In the event that a Qualified Termination is subsequent to the first anniversary of your Start Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of your Start Date, then there shall be Service-Based Satisfaction
with respect to a number of RSUs for common shares such that the aggregate total of RSUs for which there has been Service-Based Satisfaction is 22,768. In the event that a Qualified Termination is subsequent to the second anniversary of your Start
Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of your Start Date, then there shall be Service-Based Satisfaction with respect to a number of RSUs such that the aggregate total of RSUs for common shares for which there has been Service-Based
Satisfaction is 34,152. In the event that a Qualified Termination is subsequent to the third anniversary of your Start Date but on or prior to the fourth anniversary of your Start Date, then there shall be Service- Based Satisfaction with respect to
a number of RSUs such that the aggregate total of RSUs for common shares for which there has been Service-Based Satisfaction is 45,537. 
 For the avoidance
of doubt, other than as expressly set forth in this Section, no other “severance” payments or the like shall be provided to you by the Company in the event of a termination that is a Qualified Termination. 

As used herein, a “Qualified Termination” means a termination of your employment either by the Company without Cause (excluding by
reason of your death or Disability) or by you for Good Reason. 
 As used herein, “Cause” means the occurrence of any of the

by you of a common law fraud, (ii) your commission of an act of personal dishonesty which involves personal profit in connection with the Company or any other entity having a business relationship with the Company, (iii) any material
breach by you of any provision of any agreement or understanding the Company and you have regarding the terms of your service as an employee, officer, director or consultant to the Company, including without limitation, your willful and continued
failure or refusal to perform the material duties required of you as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company (including a material breach and failure to perform the job duties as set forth in Addendum A), other than as a result
of having a Disability (defined below), or a breach of any applicable invention assignment and confidentiality agreement or similar agreement between you and the Company, (iv) your disregard of the policies of the Company so as to cause or
potentially cause loss, damage or injury to the property, reputation or employees of the Company, or (v) any other misconduct by you which is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of, or is otherwise materially
injurious to, the Company. As to sub-subsections (iii)-(v) of this subsection, the Company shall provide you with written notice of these conditions within 30 days of occurrence or reasonable discovery thereof
and the Company’s intention to terminate your employment for Cause. Such notice shall specify the grounds for termination for Cause and you shall have 30 days to cure such condition to the sole satisfaction of the Company and shall provide
written notice to the Company of such efforts to cure. 
 As herein, “Disability” means that, in the opinion of the Company, as
certified by an independent licensed medical professional, you, because of physical or mental illness or incapacity, are unable to perform substantially all of the duties and services required of you under this offer letter for a period of sixty
(60) days in the aggregate during any 12-month period. If such a Disability occurs, the Company may, upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice given at any time after the expiration of
such sixty (60) day period, notify you of its intention to terminate this offer letter as of the date set forth in the notice. In case of such termination, you shall be entitled to receive salary, benefits, and reimbursable expenses owing to
you through the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no further obligation or liability to you in the event of a Disability. 

  
 3 

 As used herein, “Good Reason” means the termination of your employment with the
Company by you after the occurrence of one or more of the following events without your express written consent: (i) a material reduction of your title, duties, authorities, or responsibilities relative to your title, duties, authorities, or
responsibilities in effect immediately prior to the reduction; (ii) the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer of the Company to replace the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in effect as of the date of this letter agreement (unless
such position has been offered to you), your ceasing to report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Operating Officer, or your ceasing to be the highest-ranking engineering official at the Company; (iii) a reduction in your
rate of annual base salary by more than 20%; provided, however, that, a reduction of annual base salary that also applies to substantially all other similarly situated employees of the Company will not constitute “Good Reason”; (iv) a
material change in the geographic location of your primary work facility or location by more than 50 miles; provided, that a relocation to a location that is within 50 miles from your then-present primary residence will not be considered a material
change in geographic location, or (v) failure of a successor corporation to assume the obligations under this letter agreement as contemplated herein. In order for the termination of your employment with the Company to be for Good Reason, you
must not terminate your employment without first providing written notice to the Company of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” within 90 days of the initial existence of the grounds for “Good Reason”
and a cure period of 30 days following the date of written notice (the “Cure Period”), the grounds must not have been cured during that time, and you must terminate your employment within 30 days following the end of the Cure
Period. 
 6.    Employee Benefits. You will continue to be eligible to participate in a number of
Company- sponsored benefits to the extent that you comply with the eligibility requirements of each such benefit plan. The Company, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate its employee benefits at any time, with or without notice. In

severance benefits under more than one of: (x) this letter agreement, (y) the Severance Agreement, and (z) any other vesting acceleration arrangement, severance pay or salary continuation program, plan or other arrangement with the Company
and, accordingly, to the extent you receive benefits under this letter agreement or any other acceleration or severance arrangement that are better than the benefits under the Severance Agreement, you will not receive the corresponding benefit(s)
under the Severance Agreement. 
 8.    Confidentiality Agreement. By signing this letter
agreement, you reaffirm the terms and conditions of the Employee Proprietary Information, Inventions and Arbitration Agreement by and between you and the Company.
