“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

g.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that he, she or it has reviewed the Issuer’s filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to:
i.the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 6-K, as furnished with the SEC on July 5, 2023, pursuant to which the management of the Issuer and the Audit Committee of the Issuer’s board of directors concluded that (i) the annual financial statements of Obagi Global Holdings Limited (“Obagi”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and associated report of the Issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), (ii) the interim financial statements of Obagi as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022, and (iii) press releases, earnings releases, and investor communications describing the Issuer’s financial performance for the periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 (collectively (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Relevant Periods”), should no longer be relied upon because the Issuer expects to restate the aforementioned financial statements and financial information for the Relevant Periods linked to the revenue recognition as applicable to: (A) Obagi’s sales activity to its Southeast Asia distributor during the second half of fiscal year 2022 and (B) marketing and other services purportedly performed by certain of Obagi’s distributors. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that on the basis of the aforementioned filings, Deloitte is conducting a complete reaudit of the Issuer’s results for fiscal years ended 2020 and 2021, and an initial audit of fiscal year end 2022 (collectively, the “Ongoing Audit”). Until the Ongoing Audit is completed, the Issuer cannot make any assurances as to the accuracy of the financial reports for those periods as currently filed, or whether, how, or to what degree such financial reports may be restated in the future. The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that the Ongoing Audit is ongoing and the results of the Ongoing Audit are not available at this time. The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that he, she or it must evaluate whether to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares without any reliable financial information regarding the Issuer’s results for fiscal years ending 2020, 2021 and 2022, and interim period for fiscal year 2023. The information to be contained in these reports is not available at this time and there can be no assurance that



such information would not have been material to the Anchor Investor’s decision whether to participate in the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement; and
ii.the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 6-K, as furnished with the SEC on August 21, 2023, pursuant to which the Issuer announced that on August 15, 2023 Waldencast Finco Limited (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and Waldencast Partners LP, entered into a third waiver and consent agreement to the Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the administrative agent and required lenders to the Credit Agreement agreed to (i) waive any default or event of default that has or would result from the failure to deliver the financial information and related reports with respect to the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31, 2022 and the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively and (ii) suspend the testing of certain financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. Such waiver shall remain in effect until September 15, 2023 (the “Waiver Expiration Date”). The Anchor Investor acknowledges that failure to deliver the required financial information on or prior to the Waiver Expiration Date will result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement (unless otherwise waived or extended). The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that following the Waiver Expiration Date, if the required financial information has not been delivered, the administrative agent and the required lenders will have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to them under the Credit Agreement with respect to the resulting event of default, including, among other things, the acceleration of all amounts due under the Credit Agreement. There can be no assurance that the administrative agent or the lenders will continue to grant the Borrower waivers from any continuing or future defaults or events of default, which, if not waived, could materially impact the Issuer’s financial condition.
h.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that he, she or it has reviewed the risks detailed in the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-267053), originally filed with the SEC on August 24, 2022 and as thereafter amended, and in other documents that it files or furnishes with the SEC (which does not include the disclosure regarding the risks related to Section 6(g) above) (as of the date hereof, the “Current SEC Filings”). The Anchor Investor further acknowledges that those risks detailed in the Current SEC Filing may no longer be reflective of current risks of the Issuer, which may have an impact on the Anchor Investor’s investment decision.
i.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that (i) the Issuer currently may have, and later may come into possession of, material, nonpublic information (financial or otherwise), including, but not limited to, results of operations, businesses, properties, plans (including acquisition and divestiture plans) and prospects (collectively, “Information”), which Information is not currently known to the Anchor Investor and may (x) impact the value of the Shares and (y) be material to the Anchor Investor’s decision to enter into this Subscription Agreement and purchase the Shares, (ii) the Issuer has no duty to disclose to the Anchor Investor any of the Information, and (iii) the Issuer may have, and later may come into possession of, Information and after discussing these matters with the Anchor Investor’s counsel and such other advisors as the Anchor Investor deems appropriate, the Anchor Investor wishes to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement notwithstanding the Anchor Investor’s lack of knowledge of any such Information.
j.The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Anchor Investor and the Anchor Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions and obtain such information as the Anchor Investor and such Anchor Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.
k.The Anchor Investor understands the disadvantage to which the Anchor Investor may be subject on account of the disparity of information between the Issuer and the Anchor Investor. The Anchor Investor believes, by reason of its business and financial experience, that the Anchor Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions completed by this Subscription Agreement and of protecting the Anchor Investor’s own interest in connection therewith.
l.The Anchor Investor has conducted and completed his, her or its own independent due diligence with respect to the Shares. Based on such information as the Anchor Investor has deemed appropriate, the Anchor Investor has independently made his, her or its own analysis and decision to enter into this Subscription Agreement.

agreements of the Issuer expressly set forth in the Subscription Agreement, the Anchor Investor is relying exclusively on his, her or its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice he, she or it may deem appropriate) with respect to the Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties, respectively, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters.
m.The Anchor Investor became aware of this offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Anchor Investor and the Issuer or a representative of the Issuer, and the Shares were offered to the Anchor Investor solely by direct contact between the Anchor Investor and the Issuer, or a representative of the Issuer. The Anchor Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Anchor Investor, by any other means. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that the Shares (i) were not offered to the Anchor Investor by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered to the Anchor Investor in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that neither the Issuer or a representative of the Issuer is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor to the Anchor Investor. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that he, she or it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Issuer, any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of the Issuer contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making his, her or its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer.
n.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in the Issuer’s filings with the SEC. The Anchor Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and, without limiting the representations and warranties of the Issuer in Section 5, the Anchor Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Anchor Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that the Anchor Investor shall be responsible for any of the Anchor Investor’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and that the Issuer has not provided any tax advice or any other representation or guarantee regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

The Anchor Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
p.In making his, her or its decision to purchase the Shares, the Anchor Investor has relied solely upon independent investigations made by the Anchor Investor and the representations and warranties in Section 5.

The Anchor Investor further represents that for the past five years, the Anchor Investor has not (1) received written or other notice of any actual, alleged or apparent violation of applicable Sanctions or the BSA/PATRIOT Act, as applicable, (2) been a party to or the subject of any pending (or to the Anchor Investor’s knowledge, threatened) civil, criminal or administrative actions, suits, demands, investigations, proceedings, settlements or enforcement actions by or before any governmental authority relating to any actual, alleged or apparent violations of applicable Sanctions or the BSA/PATRIOT Act, as applicable, or (3) made any voluntary



disclosure to any governmental authority with respect to any actual, alleged or apparent violation of applicable Sanctions of the BSA/PATRIOT Act, as applicable.
u.If the Anchor Investor is or is acting on behalf of (i) an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), (ii) a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement described in clauses (i) and (ii) (each, an “ERISA Plan”), or (iv) an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws,” and together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), the Anchor Investor represents and warrants that (A) he, she or it has not relied on the Issuer or any of its affiliates for investment advice or has otherwise acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, with respect to his, her or its decision to acquire and hold the Shares, and that the Issuer shall not at any time be the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision in connection with the Anchor Investor’s investment in the Shares; and (B) his, her or its purchase of the Shares will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any applicable Similar Law.
v.The Anchor Investor has or has commitments to have and, when required to deliver payment to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2 above, will have, sufficient funds to pay the Anchor Subscription Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
7.No Hedging. The Anchor Investor hereby agrees that neither her, she or it, his, her or its controlled affiliates, nor any person or entity acting on his, her or its or his, her or its controlled affiliates’ behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, shall execute any short sales (as such term is defined in Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, 17 CFR 242.200) or engage in other hedging transactions of any kind with respect to the Shares during the period from the date of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement). Nothing in this Section 7 shall prohibit any other investment portfolios of the Anchor Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of the Anchor Investor’s participation in this transaction and have not been informed by the Anchor Investor of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement (including the Anchor Investor’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any short sales or engaging in other hedging transactions.
8.Registration Rights.
a.The Issuer agrees that, within sixty (60) calendar days following the SEC’s notice that the post-effective amendment filed in connection with the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-267053), originally filed with the SEC on August 24, 2022, has been declared effective (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), the Issuer will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form F-1 or Form F-3 (if the Issuer is then eligible to use a Form F-3 shelf registration) or other appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Shares acquired by the Anchor Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement which are eligible for registration (determined as of three (3) business days prior to such submission or filing) (the “Registrable Shares”) and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies the Issuer that he, she or it will “review” the Registration Statement and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next business day on which the SEC is open for business; provided further, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Registrable Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Anchor Investor furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding the Anchor Investor or his, her or its permitted assigns, the securities of the Issuer held by the Anchor Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be



reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares, and the Anchor Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares pursuant to this Section 8 by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. In the event the Issuer amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly file with the SEC one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. In no event shall the Anchor Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Anchor Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Anchor Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw the Anchor Investor’s Shares from the Registration Statement.
b.Following the filing of the financial statement restatements for all of the Relevant Periods on Form 20-F and Form 6-K, as applicable, for as long as the Anchor Investor holds Shares, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) under the Securities Act is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 under the Securities Act becomes available to the Anchor Investor). Any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 8. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, respond to the Anchor Investor as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. For purposes of this Section 8, “Registrable Shares” shall include, as of the date of determination, the subscribed Shares and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the subscribed Shares by way of stock split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, and “Investor” shall include any affiliate of the Anchor Investor to which the rights under this Section 8 have been duly assigned pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
c.At its expense the Issuer shall:
i.except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Anchor Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) the date the Anchor Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Shares, (B) the date all Registrable Shares held by the Anchor Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) under the Securities Act, and (C) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which the Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;
ii.during the Registration Period, advise the Anchor Investor, as expeditiously as possible:
1.when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;



2.after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
3.of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
4.subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising the Anchor Investor of the events described in Section 8(c)(ii), provide the Anchor Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to the Anchor Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;
iii.during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
iv.during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 8(c)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
v.during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed;
vi.during the Registration Period, if requested by the Anchor Investor, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Anchor Investor to review disclosure regarding the Anchor Investor in the Registration Statement; and
vii.during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Anchor Investor, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares.
d.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Registration Statement if it determines (i) that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (x) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, (y) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, or (z) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the members of the Issuer’s board of directors, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement, would be seriously detrimental to the Issuer and the majority of the members of the Issuer’s board of directors concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, or (ii) to delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, a Registration Statement and such delay or suspension arises out of, or is a result of, or is related to or is in connection with the Ongoing Audit, or other accounting matters, or any related disclosure or other



matters (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three (3) occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Anchor Investor agrees that (i) he, she or it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) until the Anchor Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that he, she or it may resume such offers and sales and (ii) he, she or it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, the Anchor Investor will deliver to the Issuer or, in the Anchor Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares in the Anchor Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent the Anchor Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

The Anchor Investor may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that the Anchor Investor not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section 8(d); provided, however, that the Anchor Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Anchor Investor (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to the Anchor Investor and the Anchor Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Anchor Investor’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, the Anchor Investor will notify the Issuer in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 8(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify the Anchor Investor, within one (1) business day of the Anchor Investor’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to the Anchor Investor a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Anchor Investor with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.
e.Indemnification in connection with the Registration Rights.
i.The Issuer agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Anchor Investor (to the extent the Anchor Investor is a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, agents, advisors, and each person or entity who controls the Anchor Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees of one (1) law firm) arising from, in connection with, or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except (A) insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of the Anchor Investor expressly for use therein, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effective by or on behalf of



any person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized by the Issuer or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Investor in violation of Section 8(d) hereof.
ii.In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Anchor Investor is participating, the Anchor Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Issuer in writing such information and affidavits as the Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents, advisors and each person or entity who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Anchor Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of the Anchor Investor shall be several and not joint with any other investor and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by the Anchor Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
iii.Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) outside counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
iv.The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
v.If the indemnification provided under this Section 8(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Anchor Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by the Anchor Investor from the sale of Registrable



Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 8(e)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
f.If the Shares acquired hereunder are either eligible to be sold (i) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (ii) without restriction under, and without the Issuer being in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then at the Anchor Investor’s request, and subject to the Anchor Investor’s execution of customary representation letters, the Issuer will reasonably cooperate with the Issuer’s transfer agent, such that any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such Shares will be removed in connection with a sale of such shares.
9.Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof: (x) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, or (y) if the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be or are not consummated at the Closing; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach.
10.Lock-Up.
a.Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 10(b), the Anchor Investor agrees not to, without the prior written consent of the board of directors of the Issuer, (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 with respect to or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, any Shares (A) purchased by the Anchor Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and (B) held by the Anchor Investor prior to or as of the date hereof (the “Lock-Up Shares”), (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 of such Lock-Up Shares, 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) (any of the actions specified in clauses (i)-(iii), collectively, a “Transfer”) until the end of the Lock-up Period.
b.The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to: (i) in the case of an entity, Transfers to or distributions to any direct or indirect stockholder, partner, member or affiliate of such entity or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control or management with such entity or affiliates of such entity; (ii) in the case of an individual, Transfers by bona fide gift to members of the individual’s immediate family (as defined below) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, to an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, Transfers by will or by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, Transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; and (v) in the case of an entity, Transfers by virtue of the laws of the state or jurisdiction of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (v) (each such person who receives Lock-Up Shares pursuant to clauses (i) through (vii), a “Permitted



Transferee”), such Permitted Transferee must enter into a written agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such Permitted Transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Anchor Investor and not to the immediate family of the Permitted Transferee), agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the Anchor Investor; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
c.For purposes of this Section 10:
i.(i) The term “Lock-up Period” means:
1.for 75% of the Lock-Up Shares held by the Anchor Investor and its Permitted Transferees, the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date; and
2.for 25% of the Lock-Up Shares held by the Anchor Investor and its Permitted Transferees, the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date.
11.Miscellaneous.
a.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each party shall retain all rights, remedies, suits, claims, demands, causes of action or similar proceedings (legal, equitable or otherwise) against any person to the extent of such person’s willful and intentional misrepresentation or concealment of a material fact actually known to such person, which misrepresentation or concealment constitutes an actual fraud or breach of fiduciary duty (it being understood that for such purposes, the actual knowledge of a party hereto shall be interpreted to be the actual knowledge of the senior officers of such party).
b.Without the prior written consent of the Issuer, neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Anchor Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned, other than an assignment to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Anchor Investor or an affiliate thereof, subject to, if such transfer or assignment is prior to the Closing, such transferee or assignee, as applicable, executing a joinder to this Subscription Agreement or a separate subscription agreement in substantially the same form as this Subscription Agreement, including with respect to the Anchor Subscription Amount and other terms and conditions, provided, that, in the case of any such transfer or assignment, the initial party to this Subscription Agreement shall remain bound by his, her or its obligations under this Subscription Agreement in the event that the transferee or assignee, as applicable, does not comply with his, her or its obligations to consummate the purchase of Shares contemplated hereby.
c.The Issuer may request from the Anchor Investor such additional information as the Issuer may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Anchor Investor to acquire the Shares and in connection with the inclusion of the Shares in the Registration Statement, and the Anchor Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures. The Anchor Investor acknowledges that the Issuer may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of the Issuer.
d.The Anchor Investor acknowledges that the Issuer will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, covenants, representations and warranties of the Anchor Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Anchor Investor agrees to promptly notify the Issuer if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Anchor Investor set forth herein are no longer accurate. The Anchor Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Anchor Investor of Shares from the Issuer will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the Anchor Investor as of the time of such purchase.
e.The Issuer and the Anchor Investor are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
f.This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 9 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties



hereto. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
g.This Subscription Agreement (including Schedule A hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 8(e) and Section 11(c) with respect to the persons referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.
h.Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
i.If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.
j.Each party shall pay all of its own costs and expenses incurred in anticipation of, relating to and in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not such transactions are consummated.
k.This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf or by DocuSign or similar electronic signature) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
l.The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.
