I hereby agree to (i) accept the grant by Rent the Runway, Inc. of my eligible options indicated on my election, to the extent not previously accepted and (ii) exchange my eligible options indicated on my election for replacement RSUs as
determined in accordance with the Offer to Exchange on the terms of the Option Exchange as set forth in the Offer to Exchange of which I hereby acknowledge receipt. Each eligible option indicated on my election will be cancelled, on a
grant-by-grant basis, on the first business day following the Expiration Time. Any replacement RSUs will be granted to me on July 11, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Option Exchange or, if the Option Exchange is extended, on the
first business day following the Expiration Time of the extended Option Exchange.
|
2. |
I hereby agree to execute a restricted stock unit award agreement evidencing the grant of the replacement RSUs and further acknowledge that the replacement RSUs have a different vesting schedule than the eligible options cancelled in the
exchange. Instead, unless otherwise determined by Rent the Runway, the replacement RSUs granted pursuant to the Option Exchange will vest in eight equal quarterly installments over two years on November 1, 2023, February 1, 2024, May 1,
2024, August 1, 2024, November 1, 2024, February 1, 2025, May 1, 2025, and August 1, 2025 (which vesting dates may change if the Expiration Time is extended), subject to my continued employment or service through the applicable vesting
dates.

3. |
The Option Exchange is currently set to expire at 11:59 P.M. U.S. Eastern Time on July 10, 2023, unless Rent the Runway, in its discretion, extends the period of time during which the Option Exchange will remain open.
|
4. |
If I am no longer employed by or engaged as an active employee, individual consultant or non-employee director of Rent the Runway or its subsidiaries, whether my termination is voluntary, involuntary or for any other reason, as of the
completion of the Option Exchange, I will not be able to participate in the Option Exchange or receive any replacement RSUs. Even if I had elected to participate in this Option Exchange, my tender will automatically be deemed withdrawn and
I will not participate in this Option Exchange, and I will retain my outstanding options in accordance with their current terms and conditions. Instead, I will keep my current eligible options and they can be exercised or will expire in
accordance with their terms. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the 2021 Plan, the form of restricted stock unit award agreement or determined by Rent the Runway, my right to vest in the replacement RSUs, if any, will terminate as of
the date of your termination of employment or service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator (as defined in the 2021 Plan) shall have exclusive discretion to determine when my termination of employment or service has occurred for
purposes of the replacement RSUs (including when you are no longer considered to be actively providing services while on a leave of absence).
|
5. |
Until 11:59 P.M. U.S. Eastern Time on July 10, 2023, or if the Option Exchange is extended, the extended Expiration Time, I will have the right to withdraw or change the election that I have made with respect to all of my eligible
options. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT TIME I WILL HAVE NO ABILITY TO CHANGE MY ELECTION. The last properly submitted election received by Rent the Runway prior to the
Expiration Time of the Option Exchange shall be binding. Until the Option Exchange period closes at 11:59 P.M. U.S. Eastern Time on July 10, 2023, or if the Option Exchange is extended, the extended Expiration Time, I may withdraw my
tendered eligible options at any time.
|
6. |
The tender of my eligible options will constitute my acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of the Option Exchange. Acceptance by Rent the Runway of my eligible options pursuant to the Option Exchange will constitute a binding
agreement between Rent the Runway and me upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Option Exchange.
|
7. |
I am the registered holder of the eligible options tendered hereby, and my name and other information appearing on the election are true and correct.
|
8. |
I am not required to tender some or all of my eligible options pursuant to the Option Exchange.
|
9. |
RENT THE RUNWAY AND/OR ANY INDEPENDENT FIRMS HIRED WITH RESPECT TO THE OPTION EXCHANGE CANNOT GIVE ME LEGAL, TAX OR INVESTMENT ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO THE OPTION EXCHANGE AND I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH MY PERSONAL LEGAL COUNSEL, ACCOUNTANT, FINANCIAL, AND
TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATING OR NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE OPTION EXCHANGE.
|
10. |
Under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to Exchange, Rent the Runway may terminate or amend the Option Exchange and postpone its acceptance of the eligible options I have elected to exchange. If the eligible options I tendered
are not accepted for exchange, such options will continue to be governed by their existing terms and conditions.
|
11. |
I understand that the exchange ratio to be used in the Option Exchange cannot be known at this time and that after the close of trading, U.S. Eastern Time, on the last business day prior to the Expiration Time of the Option Exchange,
Rent the Runway will distribute by e-mail to me the exact exchange ratio to be used in the Option Exchange with respect to my eligible options and I will have until the Expiration Time to make any changes to any election that I have
previously made to tender an option for exchange.
|
12. |
I understand that: (i) the value of any Class A common stock of Rent the Runway obtained upon vesting of the replacement RSUs granted pursuant to the Offer to Exchange is an extraordinary item which is outside the scope of my employment
or consulting contract, if any; (ii) the replacement RSUs and the shares acquired upon vesting and settlement thereof are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including but not limited to purposes of calculating any
severance, resignation, dismissal, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (iii) neither the rights nor any provision of the Option Exchange, the Offer to
Exchange, the 2021 Plan, the form of restricted stock unit award agreement or the policies adopted pursuant to the 2021 Plan confer upon you any right with respect to service or employment or continuation of current service or employment
and shall not be interpreted to form a service or employment contract or relationship with Rent the Runway; (iv) the future value of Rent the Runway’s Class A common stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (v) if you
acquire shares of Rent the Runway’s Class A common stock upon vesting or settlement of the replacement RSUs, the value of the shares acquired may increase or decrease in value.
|
13. |
I understand that no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the right to participate in the Option Exchange resulting from termination of my employment or service with Rent the Runway or any of its
subsidiaries (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and I irrevocably release Rent the Runway and its subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, I shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived my entitlement to pursue such claim.
|
14. |
Regardless of any action that Rent the Runway or its subsidiaries takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits, payment on account or other tax-related withholding related to the Option
Exchange and the replacement RSUs (“Tax-Related Items”), I understand that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains my sole responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Rent the Runway or its
subsidiaries, if any. I further acknowledge that Rent the Runway and/or its subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option Exchange and
the replacement RSUs including, but not limited to, the exchange of eligible options, grant or vesting of the replacement RSUs, the issuance of Class A common stock of Rent the Runway upon vesting and settlement of the replacement RSUs or
the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such issuance; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Option Exchange or new replacement RSUs to reduce or eliminate my liability for
Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if I have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of the grant of the new replacement RSUs and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding
event, as applicable, I acknowledge that Rent the Runway and/or any of its subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. In that regard, I authorize Rent the Runway and/or any of
its subsidiaries to withhold all Tax-Related Items legally payable by me pursuant to the terms of the restricted stock unit award agreement evidencing my replacement RSUs and the 2021 Plan.
|
15. |
I understand and agree that Rent the Runway may collect, store, use, transfer, and process certain personal information about me for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing my participation in
the Option Exchange and applicable plan, including my name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, Social Security or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of or directorships held in Rent the
Runway or any of its subsidiaries, details of all options or any other entitlement to Rent the Runway shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor (collectively, “Personal Data”). I understand that and
authorize Rent the Runway to transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Option Exchange and applicable plan, including to my elected broker or other third party with whom I
elect to deposit any shares issued upon vesting of the new replacement RSUs, but that my Personal Data will not be “sold” or “shared”, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act. I understand that Rent the Runway
will retain Personal Data collected in relation to the Option Exchange for as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Option Exchange and the applicable plan, resolve disputes or as otherwise required
to comply with applicable law. I understand that I may contact my local human resources representative for additional information on how my Personal Data is processed during my employment with Rent the Runway.
