Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 Dear Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx: Introduction We are looking forward to working with you to provide the professional services described herein. This letter confirms our understanding of the terms and objectives of our engagement and the nature and limitations of the services we will provide. The engagement between Better Choice Company, Inc. (the “Company), and ONE10 Advisors, LLC (“ONE10”) will be governed by the terms of this letter (the “Agreement”). Engagement Scope We will provide the services described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Services”), which services the parties agree were discussed to meet your financial objectives and goals. Some of the Services will require your cooperation in providing us with various types of information and documents concerning your financial situation. We will be relying on your representations. If we are unable to obtain from you sufficient information to provide the Services, the Services may be limited to those matters for which sufficient information is available, and this may affect our conclusions and recommendations. Should this be the case, we will so advise you in writing. If we are unable to obtain sufficient information to proceed with the engagement as contemplated and agreed, we will advise you and, as appropriate, discuss terminating or modifying the engagement with you. Both parties may modify or terminate the engagement at any time via communication in writing with 30 days’ notice. It is understood that any unpaid services that are outstanding at the end of the termination period are to be paid in full within 15 days. At your request, we will provide an Interim Chief Financial Officer (“ICFO”) to the Company. The ICFO will act in this capacity until the Company identifies a full-time Chief Financial Officer. The Company will need to enter into a separate arrangement with the ICFO, referencing the terms of this Agreement. The ICFO will require the Company to maintain its current Directors and Officers insurance coverage. The services to be furnished to the Company are not designed to guarantee the accuracy of the financial statements and cannot be relied upon to detect fraud or errors, should any exist. However, should any fraud or errors come to our attention, we will report them to you. In DocuSign Envelope ID: E644022F-D85B-4B46-BEA8-B306120BFE0B
addition, during the course of our engagement, financial statement misstatements may be identified, either through our work or through communication by your employees to us, and we will bring these misstatements to your attention. The Company is solely responsible for any misstatements, as well as any corrective adjustments, although we may propose adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, we will not be responsible for detecting errors or evidence of fraud or illegal acts that may exist in your books, records, accounts, or operations (provided, however, that we will inform the appropriate level of management of any evidence of fraud or possible illegal acts or errors that come to the attention of us). We are not responsible for material inaccuracy nor fraud in the financial statements, other than any material inaccuracy or fraud committed by an employee or agent of ONE10. We will have no responsibility to identify or communicate significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as part of its engagement under this Agreement. However, if we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, we will report them to management. We will keep your personal, non-public information strictly confidential. If your personal information needs to be disclosed when working with your other advisors or with other qualified professionals, we will ask your permission to do so. However, we may be required by legal or regulatory authorities to disclose confidential information without your permission. You agree to hold any confidential information made available to you about us or any other third parties with whom we have a relationship in confidence and to protect such confidential information from unauthorized use, publication or dissemination with the same degree of care normally used to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Responsibility You acknowledge that it is the responsibility of the Company to make and keep books, records, and accounts, which, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, and that our responsibility is limited to assisting you with the preparation of GAAP financial statements using management’s books, records, and accounts. In order to ensure that the Services provided are sound and appropriate for your situation, it is your responsibility to provide complete and accurate information regarding all items requested by us. The suggestions and recommendations included in the Services will be advisory in nature, and we cannot guarantee the performance of any recommendations made in connection with the Services.

If in the course of this engagement we become aware of a service needed to complete the engagement that we do not or will not provide, we will advise you of that needed service and recommend to you in writing that you engage another service provider to address that service. If you decline to engage such recommended service provider, and we determine that such action impairs our ability to properly address the terms of this engagement, we will so advise you, in writing, and terminate this engagement. If you decline to engage such recommended service provider and we determine that our ability to properly address the terms of this engagement is not impaired, but may be limited in some way, we will advise you, in writing, with respect to how we believe our conclusions and recommendations may be affected. We cannot be responsible for the acts, omissions, or solvency of any broker, agent, or independent contractor or other advisor or professional selected to implement any part of the Services. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend us, our officers, members, managers, employees and agents from and against all claims and suits by third parties for any damages, losses, and expenses including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of, or resulting from, any of your actions or the actions of any broker, agent or independent contractor or other advisor or professional you have retained or that is implemented in any part of the Services, including all such causes of action based upon common, constitutional, or statutory law.
