THIS AGREEMENT (this “Award Agreement”) is made effective as of the date specified on the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), by and between DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the Participant specified on the Grant Notice (the “Participant”). Certain capitalized terms used herein have the meanings given to them in Section 12. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings so indicated in the DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Please refer also to Appendix A-Country and State Specific Provisions, enclosed at the end of this Award Agreement.

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, the Board or the Committee has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the option provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1.Grant of the Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the right and option to purchase the number of Shares specified on the Grant Notice (the “Option”). This Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement, and Appendix A to this Award Agreement includes certain provisions applicable to Participants resident in the jurisdictions set forth therein. The Option is intended to be a Nonqualified Stock Option. At any time, the portion of the Option that has become vested and exercisable is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Portion,” and any portion of the Option that is not a Vested Portion is hereinafter referred to as the “Unvested Portion.”

2.Option Price. The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Option shall be the Option Price specified on the Grant Notice (the “Option Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan.

3.Vesting of the Option.

a.General. Subject to Section 3(b) and Section 4 hereof, the Option shall become part of the Vested Portion on the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to the Participant’s continued Service through each applicable vesting date.

b.Effect of Change in Control. Except as set forth in Section 3(c), the Option, to the extent not then vested or forfeited and subject to the Participant’s continued Service on the date the Change in Control is consummated, shall accelerate and become fully vested immediately prior to and contingent upon a Change in Control.

c.Alternative Awards. No acceleration of vesting shall occur with respect to any of the Option if the Board reasonably determines in good faith, prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, that such Option shall be honored or assumed, or new rights substituted therefor following the Change in Control (such honored, assumed or substituted award, an “Alternative Award”), provided that any Alternative Award must:

i.give the Participant rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights and terms applicable under the Option, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise and vesting schedule; and

ii.have terms such that if the Participant’s employment is involuntarily (i.e., by the Company or its successor other than for Cause) or constructively (i.e., by the Participant with Good Reason) terminated within one year following a Change in Control at a time when any portion of the Alternative Award is unvested, the unvested portion of such Alternative Award shall immediately vest in full.

4.Forfeiture; Expiration; Termination of Service. Upon the termination of the Participant’s Service for any reason at any time or if the Participant breaches a Restrictive Covenant, any and all of the Unvested Portion of the Option shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration therefor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that: (a) the Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause; (b) the Participant resigns at a time when the Participant’s acts or omissions constitute grounds to terminate the Participant’s Service for Cause without regard to any applicable cure rights or notice periods; or (c) the Participant breaches a Restrictive Covenant, in each case the Vested Portion of the Option also shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration therefor.

5.Period of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Participant may exercise all or any part of the Vested Portion at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:

a.the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date;

b.the date that is twelve (12) months following termination of the Participant’s Service due to death or Permanent Disability;

c.the date that is ninety (90) days following termination of the Participant’s Service by the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) without Cause; and

d.the date that is thirty (30) days following the termination of the Participant’s Service by the Participant.

6.Exercise Procedures.

a.Notice of Exercise. Subject to Section 5 hereof and such reasonable administrative regulations as the Committee may adopt from time to time, the Vested Portion may be exercised by delivering written notice to the Company (such notice, a “Notice of Exercise”), which may be delivered electronically. Such Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Option Price for the Shares to be acquired upon exercise, which shall be the product of the total number of Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Option at such time by the Option Price, rounding up to the nearest whole cent. In the event the Option is being exercised by the Participant’s representative, the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Committee) of the representative’s right to exercise the Option. The aggregate Option Price for the Shares to be exercised shall be determined in a manner provided in Section 6.5 of the Plan.

b.Rights of Participant; Method of Exercise. Neither the Participant nor the Participant’s representative shall have any rights to dividends, voting rights or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to the Option until (i) the Participant has given a Notice of Exercise of the Option and paid in full for such Shares, (ii) such Shares have been issued and (iii) if applicable, the Participant has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan. In the event

of the Participant’s death, the Vested Portion shall be exercisable by the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Award Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be. Any heir or legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

7.Restrictive Covenants. As a condition to, and in consideration of, the grant of this Award, the Participant agrees to be bound by the covenants, restrictions and other obligations set forth in this Section 7 (the “Restrictive Covenants”).

a.Confidentiality. The Participant shall observe all of the Participant’s obligations under and shall comply with the terms and conditions of the confidentiality, unfair competition, intellectual property assignment and non-solicitation agreement (the “Confidentiality & IP Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company or its Subsidiaries and the Participant. The Participant’s breach of a covenant, representation or warranty in the Confidentiality & IP Agreement shall be a breach of this Section 7(a).

b.Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation. The Participant acknowledges that during the Participant’s Service, the Participant will create and have access to confidential information and to important business relationships. Accordingly, the Participant represents, warrants and covenants to the Company and its Subsidiaries that:

i.during the Non-Compete Period, the Participant shall not, without the Company’s prior written authorization, anywhere in the world, (i) own, operate, control, manage, finance, establish or open any business enterprise of any nature that competes with any part of the Group’s Business or (ii) in any manner whatsoever become involved, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, owner, partner, agent, shareholder, director, consultant or otherwise, in any business, occupation, work or any other activity that competes with any part of the Group’s Business, if such involvement is reasonably likely to involve or require the use or disclosure of any of the Group’s Major Assets or require the Participant to compete against any part of the Group’s Business (and the Participant acknowledges and agrees that, because the Company’s business is dependent on the Internet and can be conducted from anywhere in the world, the worldwide scope of the foregoing restriction is reasonable and appropriate and is necessary for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests), provided, that the foregoing shall not include the beneficial ownership solely as an unaffiliated, passive investor of less than five percent (5%) of any class of securities of any business, firm or entity having a class of equity securities actively traded on a national securities exchange, automated quotation system or over-the-counter market;

ii.during the term of Participant’s Service and for eighteen (18) months thereafter, the Participant shall not solicit or call upon any Restricted Customer for the purpose of offering or providing any product or service that is similar to or competitive with any products or service offered by the Company; and

iii.during the term of the Participant’s Service and for twelve (12) months thereafter, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit for employment any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise encourage any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate their employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries.

c.Non-Disparagement. The Participant will not at any time make any statement, written or oral, to any person or entity, including in any forum or media, or take any action, in disparagement of the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Board or any of their respective current, former or future affiliates, or any current, former or future shareholders, partners, managers, members, officers, directors or employees

of any of the foregoing (each, a “Company Party”), including negative references to or about any Company Party’s services, policies, practices, documents, methods of doing business, strategies, objectives, shareholders, partners, managers, members, officers, directors or employees, or take any other action that may disparage any Company Party to the general public and/or any Company Party’s officers, directors, employees, clients, suppliers, investors, potential investors, business partners or potential business partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Award Agreement or this Section limits the Participant’s ability to communicate with or participate in any investigation or proceeding (including by providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company) regarding possible violations of federal securities laws that may be conducted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

d.Privacy. The Participant understands that (i) the Participant is or may be subject to certain privacy regulations and laws as in effect from time to time, (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries have adopted policies and procedures concerning privacy and (iii) from time to time, the Company and its Subsidiaries undertake privacy obligations with its clients and other Persons with which the Company and its Subsidiaries do business (collectively, “Privacy Obligations”). The Participant shall comply with current and future Privacy Obligations.

e.Reasonable Restrictions/Damages Inadequate Remedy. The Participant acknowledges that the Company would not have granted the Options to the Participant if Participant had not agreed to the Restrictive Covenants. Participant agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and that any breach or threatened breach by the Participant of any Restrictive Covenant will result in immediate irreparable injury to the Company and its Subsidiaries for which a remedy at law would be inadequate. The Participant further acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants will not prevent the Participant from earning a livelihood following the termination of the Participant’s Service. Accordingly, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (without being obligated to post a bond or other collateral) in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Participant of Restrictive Covenants and to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising, directly or indirectly, from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to (rather than instead of) any other rights or remedies to which the Company and its Subsidiaries may be entitled at law or in equity. Any remedy specified by any provision of this Award Agreement shall, unless expressly providing to the contrary, be a nonexclusive remedy for that provision and shall not preclude any and all other remedies at law or in equity from also being applicable.

f.Separate Covenants. The parties intend that the Restrictive Covenants be given the broadest interpretation permitted by law. Accordingly, in the event that any of the provisions of this Award Agreement should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law. If the Restrictive Covenants are determined to be wholly or partially unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such determination shall not be a bar to or in any way diminish the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ right to enforce the Restrictive Covenants in any other jurisdiction. If, in any judicial or arbitration proceedings, a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration panel should refuse to enforce all of the separate Restrictive Covenants, then such unenforceable covenants and restrictions shall be eliminated from the provisions of this Award Agreement for the purpose of such proceeding to the extent necessary to permit the remaining Restrictive Covenants to be enforced in such proceeding.

8.No Right to Continued Service. The granting of the Option shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the Service of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate the Service of the Participant.

9.Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any payment or Shares deliverable under this Award Agreement, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Award Agreement.

10.Transferability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall not be permitted to transfer or assign the Option except in the event of death and in accordance with Section 15.8 of the Plan.

11.Adjustment of Option. Adjustments to the Option (or any Shares underlying the Option) shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
