Re: Amendment to Compensation Arrangements

Dear Xxxxxxxx,

You are receiving this letter (“Letter Agreement”) because the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Vroom, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined to modify the terms of your compensation package with the Company, including as relates to your outstanding restricted stock unit awards previously granted to you by the Company under the Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) which are scheduled to vest in 2024, 2025 and 2026 and set forth on Exhibit A (the “RSUs”). This Letter Agreement serves as an amendment to the restricted stock unit award agreement(s) evidencing the RSUs (the “RSU Agreements”) as well as a notice of certain changes to the Amended and Restated Vroom, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Severance Plan”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement.

1.RSU Amendments. Subject to your execution of this Letter Agreement, effective as of March 8, 2024, the RSU Agreements are hereby amended as follows:

a)The RSUs will vest in full on March 17, 2025 (the “New Vesting Date”), subject to your continued employment through such date. In consideration for your agreement to the New Vesting Date, the Company hereby agrees to increase the number of RSUs which were originally scheduled to vest in 2024 by 25%, which additional RSUs will, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to the terms of the RSU Agreements governing the RSUs which were originally scheduled to vest in 2024, as expressly amended herein.

b)In the event your employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates without Cause or for Good Reason (each as defined on Appendix I hereto) prior to the New Vesting Date and you are not asked by the Company to serve as a consultant to the Company, the RSUs will accelerate and vest in full. In the event your employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates without Cause or for Good Reason prior to the New Vesting Date and you are asked by the Company to commence service as a consultant, subject to the terms of a consulting agreement to be entered into by and between you and the Company, the Company agrees that any RSUs held by you as of the date of termination of your employment will remain outstanding and eligible to vest on the New Vesting Date, subject to your continued service with the Company as a consultant; provided, that if your service with the Company is terminated during the consulting period by the Company without Cause your outstanding RSUs will accelerate and vest in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the post-termination exercise period of any vested option to purchase Company common stock held by the Participant as of such Participant’s termination without Cause or for Good Reason shall be

extended through the original expiration date of such option.

2.Severance Plan. The Severance Plan has been amended by the Company to provide that in the event of your Separation from Service without Cause or for Good Reason (other than a Termination Upon a Change in Control), the Severance Amount payable to you pursuant to Section 4.2(a) of the Severance Plan will be payable over a Severance Period of four months, subject to the terms and conditions of the Severance Plan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in your offer letter with the Company or otherwise. A copy of the amended Severance Plan is enclosed with this Letter Agreement as Appendix II (with all capitalized terms used and not defined in this section as defined therein).

You acknowledge and agree that, in consideration for the benefits provided for in this Letter Agreement, you hereby waive any right to terminate your employment for Good Reason as a result of any action or event occurring prior to the date hereof, including without limitation, due to or in connection with the Company’s Value Maximization Plan. You and the Company hereby acknowledge that you do not waive your right to resign for Good Reason as a result of events that may occur following the date hereof.

You further acknowledge and agree that the Company or any applicable subsidiary thereof will be entitled to withhold from amounts to be paid to you hereunder any federal, state or local withholding or other taxes that the Company or such applicable subsidiary is required to withhold.

Neither this Letter Agreement, nor any modification thereof, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving you the right to be retained in the service or employ of the Company or any of its affiliates. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations issued thereunder, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Letter Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in accordance therewith.

Except as explicitly amended by this Letter Agreement, the RSU Agreements shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. This Letter Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, and governed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to conflicts of law principles thereof. This Letter Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Should you have any questions, please reach out to Xxxx Xxxxx at Xxxx.Xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.

Sincerely,

C. Xxxxxx Xxxxx

Chief People & Culture Officer
