WHEREAS, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from Grove, on the date hereof, (i) 10,000 shares (the “Subscribed Shares”) of Grove’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred” and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Subscribed Shares, the “Conversion Shares”) equal to $10,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) for a purchase price per share of $1,000.00, (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 1,579,778 shares of Grove’s Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) on the terms set forth in the form of warrant attached hereto as Exhibit A ( “Warrant 1”) and (iii) a warrant to purchase up to 20,905 shares of Class A Common Stock on the terms set forth in the form of warrant attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Warrant 2” and collectively with Warrant 1, the “Warrants”, and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares” and, and the Warrant Shares together with the Subscribed Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrants, the “Securities”), and Grove desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Subscribed Shares and Warrants in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price therefor by or on behalf of Subscriber to Grove, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Subscription; Additional Shares.

1.1.Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and Xxxxx hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Subscribed Shares and the Warrants.

2.Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

1.1.Subscriber’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce Grove to issue the applicable Subscribed Shares and the Warrants, Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to Grove and acknowledges and agrees with Xxxxx, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

1.1.1.Subscriber has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

1.1.2.This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by Subscriber. Assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Grove, this Subscription Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of Subscriber, and is enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws

relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

1.1.3.The execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Subscriber that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority and ability of Subscriber to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (a “Subscriber Material Adverse Effect”).

1.1.4.Subscriber (i) is (a) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (b) a sophisticated institutional investor, experienced in investing in transactions of the type contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Securities for its own account and not for the account of others, or if Subscriber is subscribing for the Securities as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a qualified institutional buyer, and Subscriber has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any distribution of the Securities in any manner that would violate the securities laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction and (iii) is not acquiring the Securities with a view towards, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, Subscriber does not agree to hold any of the Securities or any other securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

1.1.5.Subscriber understands that the Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act. Except in respect of any stock lending program, Subscriber understands that the Securities may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the issuer of such Securities or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur solely outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (including Rule 144), and in each of cases (i) and (iii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that the Securities shall be subject to a legend to such effect (provided that such legends will be eligible for removal upon compliance with the relevant resale as set forth in this Subscription Agreement). Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands and agrees that unless the resale of the Securities is covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Securities will be subject to the foregoing restrictions and, as a result, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Securities and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Securities

for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult independent legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Securities. Subscriber has determined based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate that the Securities are a suitable investment for Subscriber, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Securities, and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in Grove.

1.1.6.Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Securities from Grove. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to Subscriber by Grove or any of their respective officers or directors, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

1.1.7.In making its decision to purchase the Securities, Subscriber represents that it has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber and the representations, warranties and covenants of Grove contained in this Subscription Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber has not relied on any statements or other information provided by anyone, other than Grove and their respective representatives concerning Grove, Securities or the offer and sale of the Securities. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received access to and has had an adequate opportunity to review such information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities, including with respect to Grove. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities. Subscriber represents and warrants it is relying exclusively on its own investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the Securities and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of Grove, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters.

1.1.8.Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Securities solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and Grove or one of their respective representatives. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Securities, nor were the Securities offered to Subscriber, by any general solicitation. Subscriber acknowledges that Grove represents and warrants that the Securities were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including methods described in section 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

1.1.9.Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of an investment in the Securities.

1.1.10.Subscriber represents and warrants that Subscriber is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any

OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515 or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank. Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. If Subscriber is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), Subscriber represents that it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Subscribed Shares were legally derived.

1.1.11.Subscriber is not a foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) and that will acquire a substantial interest in Grove as a result of the purchase and sale of Securities hereunder such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over Grove from and after the Closing as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities hereunder.

1.1.12.No broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on behalf of Subscriber in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on Grove.

1.1.13.Subscriber agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the Closing, none of Subscriber, its controlled affiliates, or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of Grove. For the purposes hereof, “Short Sales” shall mean all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), but shall not include pledging in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) nothing herein shall prohibit any entities under common management or that share an investment advisor with Subscriber (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (b) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multimanaged investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets, this Section 2.1.13 shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1.13 shall not apply to (i) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of Grove (A) held by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (B) purchased by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (ii) ordinary course, non-speculative hedging transactions.

1.2.Grove Representations, Warranties and Agreements. For purposes of Section 2.2, the term “Company” or “Grove” shall include any Person in which the Company directly or indirectly, (x) owns a majority of the outstanding capital stock or holds a majority of the equity or similar interest of such Person or (y) controls or operates all or substantially all of the business, operations or administration of such Person (the foregoing are collectively referred to herein as “Subsidiaries” and individually as a “Subsidiary”), unless context clearly indicates otherwise. To induce Subscriber to purchase the Subscribed Shares and the Warrants, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber set forth in Section 2.1 and except (i) as set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined below) (which disclosures serve to qualify these representations and warranties in their entirety), but excluding any disclosures set forth under the headings “Risk Factors,” or disclosure of risks set forth in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer, or disclosures in any other statements that are similarly cautionary or predictive in nature and (ii) as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule attached as Exhibit C to this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”), Grove hereby represents and warrants and agrees with Subscriber (and not as to any other Person), that the statements contained in this Section 2.2 are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

1.1.4.The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement and the Warrants (including compliance by Grove with all of the provisions hereof and thereof), the issuance and sale of the Securities to be issued by Grove and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein and in the Warrants will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Grove or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, charge, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Grove or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Grove or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Grove or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of Grove and its respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or materially and adversely affects the ability of Grove to timely perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (collectively, a “Grove Material Adverse Effect”), (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of Grove or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Grove or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Grove Material Adverse Effect. Xxxxx has obtained all consents required of Grove for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Warrants.

1.1.5.Neither Grove, nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security of Grove nor solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by Grove on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act.

1.1.6.Neither Grove, nor any person acting on its behalf has conducted any general solicitation or general advertising, including methods described in section 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities and neither Grove, nor any person acting on its behalf has offered any of the Securities in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

1.1.10.As of the date hereof, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Grove, threatened, suits, claims, actions, or proceedings, which, if determined adversely, would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Grove Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, there is no unsatisfied judgment, any open injunction, or any decree, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator outstanding against or binding upon Grove, which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Grove Material Adverse Effect.

1.1.11.Grove is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Grove of this Subscription Agreement or the Warrants (including, without limitation, the issuance of the applicable Securities), other than (i) filings with the Commission of a Form 8-K (disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby) and a Form D, (ii) notice filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) filings required in accordance with Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, (iv) filing of a supplemental listing application with the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and (v) filings, the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Grove Material Adverse Effect.

As of their respective dates, all SEC Documents required to be filed by Grove with the Commission prior to the date hereof complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. None of the SEC Documents filed under Securities Act or the Exchange Act, contained, when filed or, if amended prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or

omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of Grove included in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Grove as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments, and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP); except, in each case, as set forth in any subsequent SEC Document filed or furnished with the SEC on or prior to the date hereof. At least one year has elapsed since date on which Grove filed with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K that includes current “Form 10 information” (within the meaning of Rule 144) reflecting Grove’s status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of Rule 144.

1.1.13.No broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on behalf of Grove in connection with this Subscription Agreement, the Warrants or the transactions contemplated hereby.

1.1.14.Grove is not in default or violation (and no event has occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of (i) the organizational documents of Grove, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, guarantee, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, permit, franchise or license to which, as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, Grove is a party or by which such Grove’s properties or assets are bound or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency, taxing authority or regulatory body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Grove or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for defaults or violations that have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Grove Material Adverse Effect.

1.1.15.Grove is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Grove Material Adverse Effect.

1.1.16.As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and are listed for trading on NYSE under the symbol “GROV”. Grove is in compliance with all applicable NYSE continued listing requirements. There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Grove, threatened against Grove by NYSE or the Commission with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Class A Common Stock or prohibit or terminate, or otherwise with respect to, the listing of the Class A Common Stock on NYSE and Grove has not received any notice of, nor to Xxxxx’s knowledge is there any reasonable basis for, the delisting of the Class A Common Stock. Grove has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Class A Common Stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Class A Common Stock on the NYSE.

1.1.17.The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement and the Warrants by Grove and the consummation by Grove of the

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the issuance of the Securities) will not result in any noncompliance by Grove with any NYSE requirements or require stockholder approval.

1.1.18.There are no legal, governmental or regulatory investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending to which Grove or its Subsidiaries are or may reasonably be expected to become a party or to which any property of Grove or its Subsidiaries are or may reasonably be expected to become the subject that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Grove Material Adverse Effect.

1.1.19.Neither Grove nor any Person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any Company security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by Grove on Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act.

1.1.20.Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber set forth in Section 2.1, the offer and sale of the Securities to the Subscriber as contemplated hereby is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The issuance and sale of the Securities does not contravene the rules and regulations of NYSE.

1.1.21.Grove has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), which are designed to ensure that material information relating to Grove, including its Subsidiary, is made known to Xxxxx’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities. Since the end of Xxxxx’s most recent audited fiscal year, except as described in the SEC Documents, there have been no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in Grove’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and no change in Grove’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect, Xxxxx’s internal control over financial reporting. Grove is not aware of any change in its internal controls over financial reporting that has occurred during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect, Xxxxx’s internal control over financial reporting.

1.1.22.Grove is not required to be registered as, and immediately following the Closing will not be required to register as, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

1.1.23.The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all material trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and rights, if any, necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, except as would not cause a Grove Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries have not received written notice of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of trademark, trade name rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names, service marks, service mark registrations, or trade secrets, except as would not cause a Grove Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no claim, action or

proceeding being made or brought against, or to the Company’s knowledge, being threatened against the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding trademark, trade name, patents, patent rights, invention, copyright, license, service names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret or other infringement, except as would not cause a Grove Material Adverse Effect.

1.1.24.Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is involved in any labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is any such dispute threatened, in each case which is reasonably likely to cause a Grove Material Adverse Effect.

1.1.25.The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) have not received written notice alleging any failure to comply in all material respects with all Environmental Laws (as defined below), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) have not received written notice alleging any failure to comply with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply would be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Grove Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all applicable federal, state and local laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

1.1.26.Except as would not cause a Grove Material Adverse Effect, the Company (or its Subsidiaries) have indefeasible fee simple or leasehold title to its properties and material assets owned by it, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance, claim or equitable interest other than such as are not material to the business of the Company. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

1.1.27.The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Grove Material Adverse Effect.

1.1.Filing and Effectiveness

1.1.1.Xxxxx agrees that within 30 days after the Closing (the “Filing Date”), Grove will file with the Commission (at Xxxxx’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined below) on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, and Grove 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 60th calendar day (or 75th calendar day if the Commission notifies Grove that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Date, but in any event, no later than ten business days following the Commission indicating that it has no further comments on the Registration Statement (such date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”). “Registrable Securities” means (1) the Conversion Shares (without giving effect to any limitations on exercise set forth in the Certificate of Designations), (2) any Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of, or otherwise pursuant to, the Warrants (without giving effect to any limitations on exercise set forth in the Warrants), (3) any shares of capital stock issued or issuable as a dividend on or in exchange for or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing, and (4) any securities issued or issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to any of the foregoing. For purposes of clarification, any failure by Grove to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve Grove of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 5. For purposes of this Section 5, “Subscriber” shall include any person to which the rights under this Section 5 shall have been duly assigned. Xxxxx will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least two (2) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. Subject to any comments from the Commission, the Registration Statement shall contain a “plan of distribution” reasonably acceptable to Subscriber and in no event shall Subscriber be identified as an underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission and consented to by Subscriber. If the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as an underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement.

1.2.In the case of Registration Statement effected by Grove pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, Grove shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense, Grove shall:

1.1.1.except for such times as Grove is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Grove determines to obtain, continuously effective and available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, and to keep the Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Registrable Securities and (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Grove to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable); provided, that for as long as Grove is required to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Grove will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

1.1.2.advise Subscriber, as promptly as practicable but in any event within two (2) Business Days:

(a)when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(b)of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(c)of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(d)of the receipt by Grove of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(e)subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

1.1.3.use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable; and

1.1.4.upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 5.2.2(e), except for such times as Xxxxx is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, Grove shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to the 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 Securities 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

1.3.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Grove shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the filing, effectiveness or continued use of the Registration Statement would require Grove to make any public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure, in the good faith determination of the board of directors of Grove, after consultation with counsel to Grove, (a) would be required to be made in the Registration Statement in order for the Registration Statement not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, (b) would not be required to be made at such time if the Registration Statement were not being filed, and (c) Grove has a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Grove may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions, for a period (a “Deferral Period”) not to exceed 45 consecutive calendar days, or more than 60 total calendar days, in each case, during any twelve-month period or less than 45 days following the expiration of any prior suspension pursuant to this Section 5.3. Upon receipt of any written notice from Grove (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding Grove and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) 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, Subscriber agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act and the consummation of any sale pursuant to a contract entered into, or order placed, by any holder prior to the delivery of such notice) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Xxxxx 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 Grove that it may resume such offers and sales (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding Grove and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality).

1.4.Subscriber may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with Section 7.2 (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Grove requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from Grove otherwise required by Section 5.2; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Grove shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify Grove 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 5.4) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Grove will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) Business Day of Subscriber’s notification to Grove, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability (which notices shall not contain any material non-public information regarding Grove and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality).

1.5.The parties agree that:

1.1.1.Grove shall, notwithstanding the termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, shareholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each Subscriber, each person who controls such Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each such controlling from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or incorporated by reference therein), prospectus included in the Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by Grove of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 5, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Grove by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 5.5 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Grove (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall Grove be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Subscriber expressly for use in the Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by Xxxxx in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected 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 in writing by Grove, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 5.3. Grove shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5 of which Xxxxx is aware.

1.1.2.Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Grove, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls Grove (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section

20 of the Exchange Act) against any and all Losses, as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus included in the Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, 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 any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 5.5 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

1.1.3.Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) 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 right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) 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. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists 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 (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), 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 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.

1.1.4.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 and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

1.1.5.If the indemnification provided under this Section 5.5 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses 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. 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 relates to information supplied by, 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 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 5.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such contribution obligation.

If any Piggyback Registration Statement pursuant to which holders of Registrable Securities have registered the offer and sale of Registrable Securities is a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement”), such holder(s) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be notified of and to participate in any offering under such Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Shelf Takedown”).

1.1.2.If a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities (if any holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown) in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable

Securities and all other shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Class A Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Class A Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the shares of Class A Common Stock requested to be included therein by the parties of that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 16, 2022, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto, (iii) third, the shares of Class A Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; and (iv) fourth, the shares of Class A Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Class A Common Stock other than holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.

1.1.3.If a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of Class A Common Stock other than Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Class A Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Class A Common Stock requested to be included therein by the holder(s) requesting such registration or takedown and by the holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock other than the Registrable Securities (on a fully diluted, as converted basis) and the number of Registrable Securities, as applicable, owned by all such holders or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; and (ii) second, the shares of Class A Common Stock requested to be included therein by other holders of Class A Common Stock, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.

1.1.4.The Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with any Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown.

6.Antitrust.

1.1.If Subscriber determines that the issuance of Securities is subject to notification under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “HSR Act”), each of Grove and Subscriber agrees to (i) file its respective notification under the HSR Act within ten (10) Business Days of Subscriber informing Grove of its determination that a notification is required in connection with such exercise; (ii) cooperate with the other party in the other party’s preparing and making such submission and any responses to inquiries of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and/or Department of Justice (“DOJ”); and (iii) prepare and make any submission required to be filed by Grove or Subscriber, as applicable, under the HSR Act and

respond to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ in connection therewith. Grove shall pay the costs of any required filing fees for any such submissions under the HSR Act.

1.2.No party hereto shall take any action that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay the approval of any governmental authority, or the expiration or termination of any waiting period of any required filings or applications under Antitrust Laws, including by agreeing to merge with or acquire any other person or acquire a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any other person. The parties hereto further covenant and agree, with respect to a threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the issuances referenced in Section 6.1, to use reasonable best efforts to prevent or lift the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, as the case may be.

7.Miscellaneous.

1.3.Entire Agreement. This Subscription Agreement 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, including any commitment letter entered into relating to the subject matter hereof.

1.4.Modifications and Amendments. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is sought.

1.5.Assignment. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations that may accrue to the parties hereunder (other than the Subscribed Shares

acquired hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 5) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the Subscriber and Grove; provided that (i) all or a portion of Subscriber’s rights and obligations hereunder (including Subscriber’s rights to purchase the Subscribed Shares) may be assigned to one or more of its affiliates (including any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber), or by an affiliate of such investment manager, without the prior consent of Grove, provided that such assignee(s) agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof, and upon such assignment by a Subscriber, the assignee(s) shall become Subscriber hereunder and have the rights and obligations and be deemed to make the representations and warranties of Subscriber provided for herein to the extent of such assignment and (ii) the Subscriber’s rights under Section 5 may be assigned to any transferee of any Registrable Securities; provided further that, no assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder, including any assignment to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber.

1.6.Benefit. 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. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

1.7.Governing Law. This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any rules or principles of conflicts of law that would result in the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction.

1.8.Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided that if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the legal proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (together with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, “Chosen Courts”), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Subscription Agreement. Each party hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that (i) such person is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason, (ii) such legal proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts, (iii) such person’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (iv) such legal proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or (v) the venue of such legal proceeding is improper. Each party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 7.2 and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.8 party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the Chosen Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Chosen Courts. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

1.9.Severability. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall 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.

1.10.No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

1.11.Remedies.

1.1.1.The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Subscription Agreement is not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 7.8, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the parties hereto to cause the other parties hereto to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 7.11 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

1.1.2.The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 7.11 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Subscription Agreement.

1.12.Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto, and all covenants and other agreements of the parties hereto, in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

1.13.Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

1.14.Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

1.15.Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. All references in this Subscription Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the date hereof.

1.16.Mutual Drafting. This Subscription Agreement is the joint product of the parties hereto and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

8.Non-Reliance. Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation, other than the representations and warranties of Grove expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to acquire the Subscribed Shares.

9.Additional Agreements.

1.1.From and after the date hereof or such earlier time as the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may allow Subscriber to sell securities of Grove to the public without registration are available to holders of Class A Common Stock and for so long as Subscriber holds the Subscribed Shares, Grove agrees to:

1.1.1.make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

1.1.2.file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Grove under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as Grove is and remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

1.1.3.furnish to Subscriber so long as it owns Registrable Securities, as promptly as practicable upon request, (x) a written statement by Xxxxx, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and (y) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Subscriber to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

Grove shall, if requested by the Subscriber (i) cause the removal of all restrictive legends (and stop transfer or similar instructions), including legends related to compliance with the securities laws from the Securities, (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) to the effect that removal of such legends (and stop transfer or similar instructions) in such circumstances may be effected in compliance under the Securities Act, and (iii) issue the applicable Securities without any such legend in certificated or book-entry form or by electronic delivery through The Depository Trust Company, at Subscriber’s option, within two (2) Business Days of such request, if (A) such Securities may be sold by the Subscriber without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, (B) the Subscriber has sold or transferred, or is selling substantially contemporaneously with such request, Securities pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or in compliance with Rule 144, (C) while a registration statement covering the sale or resale of such securities is effective under the Securities Act, or (D) if Subscriber certifies that it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 144) and that its holding period for purposes of Rule 144 is at least six (6) months. Xxxxx’s obligation to remove legends under this paragraph may be conditioned upon the Subscriber providing such customary representations and certifications (including, in the case of a sale pursuant to Rule 144, broker representation letters) as are reasonably necessary and customarily required in connection with the removal of restrictive legends related to compliance with the federal securities laws under similar circumstances.

1.2.At any time after the date hereof, for so long as Subscriber and its Affiliates owns a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to at least 20% of the shares of Class A Common Stock purchased hereunder (in each case, an as-converted basis without regard to any limitations on conversion), if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities (each, a “Subsequent Financing”), the Company shall offer such New Securities to Subscriber as follows:

1.1.1.The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to Subscriber (y) in the case of a private placement of New Securities, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of a definitive agreement related thereto and (z) in the case of a registered offering of New Securities, on the date of the final prospectus related thereto, in each case, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities; provided, however, that in the event of a private placement, the Offer Notice shall include such information regarding the number of New Securities to be offered and the price and terms of such offering that is known to the Company at such time of delivery of the Offer Notice, with such additional information to be provided promptly after such additional information becomes available to the Company. By executing this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber acknowledges

that the Offer Notice may constitute material non-public information of the Company and agrees not to trade in the securities of the Company until the Company has either confirmed in writing to the Subscriber that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or has publicly disclosed its intention to issue the New Securities in the Subsequent Financing, which the Company shall do promptly.

1.1.2.By notification to and received by the Company within five (5) Business Days after the date the Offer Notice is given (the “Notice Termination Time”), Subscriber may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire in a separate private placement, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to such number of New Securities which equals the proportion that the Class A Common Stock then held by Subscriber (on an as converted basis without regard to any limitations on conversion) bears to the total Class A Common Stock of the Company then outstanding, assuming the sale of New Securities in the Subsequent Financing (the “Pro Rata Percentage”), with a right of oversubscription if any other holder elects to not purchase their full Pro Rata Percentage. If the Company receives no such notice from Subscriber as of such Notice Termination Time, Subscriber shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate in such private placement. Any offer made pursuant to Section 9.2.1 or sale pursuant to this Section 9.2.2 shall be made without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder as a transaction not involving a public offering. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 9.2.2 shall be subject to the closing of the Subsequent Financing and must occur within the later of 30 calendar days of (i) the date that the Offer Notice is given and (ii) the date of the initial sale of New Securities pursuant to the Subsequent Financing.

1.1.3.The rights in this Section 9.2 shall not be applicable to:

(a)shares of Class A Common Stock or Derivative Securities issued in connection with any merger, acquisition, or business combination;

(b)shares of Class A Common Stock or Derivative Securities issued in connection with any commercial transaction approved by the Board of Directors (including but not limited to the licensing of technology and intellectual property);

(c)shares of Class A Common Stock or Derivative Securities issued as a dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Class A Common Stock;

(d)shares of Class A Common Stock or Derivative Securities issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors or contractors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors, including inducement awards issued pursuant to applicable NYSE rules;

(e)shares of Class A Common Stock or Derivative Securities actually issued upon the exercise, conversion, exchange or settlement of currently outstanding Derivative Securities, provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such Derivative Security;

(f)shares of Class A Common Stock or Derivative Securities issued to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing, or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors;

(g)shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to at-the-market or equity line of credit programs; and

(h)shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to an employee stock purchase plan.

1.1.4.Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the amount offered to Subscriber and its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 9.2 exceeds $40,000,000 minus the aggregate exercise price paid by Subscriber in connection with its purchase of shares of Class A Common Stock under the Warrants, Subscriber shall have the right to purchase 200% its Pro Rata Percentage in any Subsequent Financing.

1.1.5.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Subscriber may not exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 9.2 in a manner or situation that would require the Company to obtain a vote of its stockholders under applicable NYSE rules. To the extent the Company would be required to obtain a vote of its stockholders under applicable NYSE rules for the Subscriber to purchase its Pro Rata Percentage, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to structure the transaction between the Subscriber and the Company in a manner that allows the Subscriber to purchase its Pro Rata Percentage (or such greater amount contemplated by Section 9.2.4), with rights, preferences and privileges substantially consistent and on par with the terms of the Subsequent Financing.

1.3.The Board of Directors shall elect, effective as of the Closing, one designee of Subscriber, who shall be Xxxxx Xxxxx (or such other individual designated by the Subscriber (including in the event its designee is unable to serve, or no longer serves, as a director for any reason), which other individuals are acceptable to the Company), to the Board of Directors of the Company, to serve as a Class I Director of the Board of Directors and such designee shall be nominated for reelection at the time their term is set to expire (the “Board Representation Right”). Subscriber shall retain its Board Representation Right for so long as Subscriber owns 20% of the shares of Series A Preferred (or Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) Subscriber acquired pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that such Board Representation Right shall be subject to compliance with applicable NYSE rules. Immediately following the appointment of the Subscriber’s designee to the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company shall (a) add such designee as a covered party under the Company’s current director and officer insurance policy, and (b) deliver to such designee an indemnification agreement, duly executed by the Company and in the same form entered into by the Company with each of the Company’s other directors. The director appointed pursuant to the Board Representation Right shall have the right, but not obligation, to be a member of any committee of the Board of Directors or analogous governing body (subject to any independence or qualification requirements). If the director appointed pursuant to the Board Representation Right is not a member of any committee of the Board of Directors, such director shall be entitled, in such person’s discretion, to attend all meetings of and receive all materials distributed to members of any such committee.

1.4.So long as Subscriber retains the Board Representation Right, the Company shall invite a representative of the Subscriber, to be mutually agreed upon by the Company, to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity, and,

in this respect, the Company shall give such observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors; provided, however, that such observer shall agree to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided; and provided further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such observer from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or result in disclosure of trade secrets or a conflict of interest, or if Subscriber or its representative is a competitor of the Company. The initial observer designated by Subscriber shall be Xxx Xxxxx.

1.5.The Subscriber shall be entitled to consult with and advise the Company’s senior management with respect to business and financial matters and shall have the right to periodically inspect the Company’s financial books and records at the Company’s facilities (or electronically) at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice

1.6.So long as Subscriber or any of its Affiliates owns the Warrants (or a portion thereof), Subscriber agrees that neither Subscriber nor any of its controlled Affiliates (which for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude portfolio companies of Subscriber or any of its Affiliates) shall make any short sale, hedging transaction or any other similar arrangement, either directly or indirectly on any securities of the Company.

Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE CLASS A COMMON STOCK

Warrant No.: 101

Date of Issuance: August 11, 2023

Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Volition Capital Fund IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, the registered holder hereof or its registered permitted assigns (collectively, the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below), at any time or times on or after the date hereof (the “Issuance Date”) until the Expiration Date (as defined below), up to 1,579,778 fully paid nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock (as defined below), subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Class A Common Stock (including any warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”), shall have the meanings set forth in Section 15 hereof. This Warrant has been issued in connection with that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as the date hereof, by and between the Company and Holder (as amended, restated, supplemented, refinanced, extended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Subscription Agreement”), and entitles the Holder to certain rights and benefits under the Subscription Agreement.

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(d)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Subscription Agreement) until the Expiration Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise all or part of this Warrant and (ii)(A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of the Exercise Notice equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price (a “Cashless Exercise”). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, nor shall any ink-original signature or medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) with respect to any Exercise Notice be required. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to a number of

Warrant Shares that is less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and the issuance of a new Warrant, on the same terms contained herein, evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Promptly following the Company’s receipt of an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and shall provide to the Holder instructions for payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, if applicable. No later than two (2) Trading Days (or, if less, the number of Trading Days then constituting the Standard Settlement Period) following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to noon Eastern Time on the Share Delivery Date (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) has not been delivered by such date, the Share Delivery Date shall be two (2) Business Days after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) is delivered), the Company shall (i) in the case of an Exercise Notice delivered at a time when none of the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) is satisfied with respect to such Warrant Shares, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s account with the Transfer Agent or, if requested by the Holder, by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee or (ii) in the case of an Exercise Notice delivered at a time when any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met in respect of such Warrant Shares, by causing the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company, through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, as specified in the relevant Exercise Notice. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Warrant Shares, including the fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent, if any. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) therefore, the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of record and beneficial owner of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are delivered. If this Warrant is physically delivered by the Holder to the Company in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares available for exercise pursuant to this Warrant is greater than the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder seeks to acquire pursuant to the current exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (on the same terms contained herein and in accordance with Section 6(e)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver Warrant Shares with respect to an exercise prior to the Holder’s delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) with respect to such exercise.

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $6.33 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to

the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

(d) Limitations on Exercise.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with its Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of the greater of (i) 19.99% and (ii) the percentage permitted under the shareholder approval rules of the NYSE, including Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, without approval of the Company’s stockholders (the greater of (i) and (ii), the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the preceding sentences, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Class A Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including other warrants issued concurrently herewith) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(d). For purposes of this Section 1(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

(ii) Additionally, the Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would result any required filing and clearance under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act (the “HSR Act”) if one has not been made and pre-approval obtained (or any applicable waiting period shall have lapsed). If Holder or the Company determines that the issuance of Warrant Shares is subject to notification under the HSR Act, each of Holder and the Company agrees to (i) file its respective notification under the HSR Act within ten (10) Business Days of Holder or the Company informing the other party of its determination that a notification is required in connection with such exercise; (ii) cooperate with the other party in the other party’s preparing and making such submission and any responses to inquiries of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and/or Department of Justice (“DOJ”); and (iii) prepare and make any submission required to be filed by the Company or Holder, as applicable, under the HSR Act and respond to inquiries of the FTC and DOJ in connection therewith. The Company shall pay the costs of any required filing fees for any such submissions under the HSR Act.

(iii) No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1(d) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 1(d) with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this Section 1(d) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership or applicable law limitation contained in this Section 1(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this Section 1(d) may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

(iv) For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued (unless that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that such treatment is improper at the time of such exercise).

(e) Required Reserve Amount. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance, free from preemptive or any other contingent purchase rights (other than those of the Holder), under this Warrant a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to at least 100% of the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Class A Common Stock under this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). At no time shall the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1(e) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any exercise of this Warrant or such other event covered by Section 2 below.

(f) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 1(e), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Class A Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall file a proxy statement for a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement, the Company’s board of directors shall recommend each stockholder vote in favor of such increase in authorized shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Class A Common Stock and promptly after receipt of such approval the Company shall file an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware reflecting the increased in authorized shares of Class A Common Stock.

(g) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding any applicable stamp duties) in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a) Adjustment Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, (i) pay a

dividend or make any other distribution upon the Class A Common Stock without consideration or (ii) reclassify or subdivide (including by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, substitutions, exchange or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, reclassification or subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) will become effective at the close of business Eastern Time on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The provisions of this Section 2 will similarly apply to successive stock dividends, stock splits or combinations, reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

(b) Number of Warrant Shares; Calculations. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. All calculations under this Section 2 and Section 3 shall be made to the nearest one-thousandth of one cent or the nearest share, as applicable.

(c) Certificate as to Adjustment. As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price or other adjustments pursuant to this Section 2 or Section 3, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

3. LIQUIDATION TRANSACTIONS; DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS; PURCHASE RIGHTS.

(a) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company effects a Liquidation Transaction, then immediately prior to such Liquidation Transaction the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Liquidation Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Liquidation Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”) and in the event of a Liquidation Termination, the holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant on Cashless Exercise basis prior to the termination of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise). The Company shall not effect any Liquidation Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous Cashless Exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1 or (ii) prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity, ultimate parent (if the Company is a subsidiary of another Person) or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such

Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (a) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous of a Liquidation Transaction type. Notice of such adjustments shall be given in accordance with Section 2(c).

(b) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 and this Section 3, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage or the other limitations set forth in Section 1(d)) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

(c) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 and this Section 3, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Capital Stock or rights to purchase Capital Stock or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Class A Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage or the other limitations set forth in Section 1(d)) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights.

4. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (ii) shall, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants as herein provided, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise), free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions set forth herein).

5. HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER; LEGEND; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

(a) No Stock Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(b) Legend. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5(b), each Warrant Share initially issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each Warrant Share issued to any subsequent transferee of any such Warrant Share, in either case whether in certificated or book-entry form, shall be stamped or otherwise bear a legend in substantially the following form (the “Securities Act Legend”):

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER HEREOF, TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE 1933 ACT AS AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT IS AVAILABLE.

Certificates or book entries evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain, and the Holder shall be entitled to the removal of, any legend (including the Securities Act Legend), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Warrant Shares is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) if such Warrant Shares have been sold, or are substantially contemporaneously being sold, pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (iii) if such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (iv) if at any time on or after the date hereof that the Holder certifies that it is not an “affiliate” of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 144) and that the Holder’s holding period for purposes of Rule 144 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof) of at least six (6) months, or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 5(b) and upon the request of the Holder, the Company will promptly following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of Warrant Shares issued with a Securities Act Legend deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder Warrant Shares free from any Securities Act Legend or other legend. The Company will ensure any legend (including the Securities Act Legend) is removed in accordance with this Section 5(b), including by causing its legal counsel to deliver a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent, if required in connection therewith. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met at the time of issuance of the Warrant Shares then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends and stop-transfer instructions.

6. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

(a) Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon the records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. The Company shall also register any transfer, exchange, reissuance or cancellation of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register. No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes required in connection with making of any such transfer.

(b) Transfer of Warrant. Subject to applicable securities laws, if this Warrant is to be transferred by the Holder, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company or its Transfer Agent, as directed by the Company, together with all applicable transfer taxes, whereupon the Company will, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(e)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(e)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred. The acceptance of the new Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the new Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.

(c) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form (but without the obligation to post a bond) and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(e)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

(d) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants; No Fractional Warrant Shares. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 6(e)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that the Company or its Transfer Agent, as directed by the Company, shall not be required to issue Warrants for fractional shares of Class A Common Stock hereunder, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(e) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company or its Transfer Agent, as directed by the Company, is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant shall (i) be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 6(b) or Section 6(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date and (iv) have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would

otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the Fair Market Value for any such fractional shares.

7. NOTICES. Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and either delivered personally, emailed or sent by overnight mail via a reputable overnight carrier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to be given and received (a) when so delivered personally, (b) when sent, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice, if sent by email, or (c) five (5) Business Days after the date of mailing to the address below or to such other address or addresses as such person may hereafter designate by notice given hereunder:

8. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended or waived and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder. No waiver by the Company or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise

of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

9. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided that if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the legal proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. The parties hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the parties at the respective address set forth in Section 7 above or such other address as the respective party subsequently delivers to the other party and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude a party from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the other party in any other jurisdiction to collect on a party’s obligations to the other party, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the other party. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE, AND AGREE NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations in writing (including via facsimile or email) within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit in writing (including via email) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

11. REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause

irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

12. TRANSFER.

(a) This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed instrument of assignment; provided, that the Holder shall not transfer this Warrant to any Person other than an Affiliate of Holder without the Company’s prior written consent and may only transfer this Warrant pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act. Within three (3) Trading Days of such surrender and delivery, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly thereafter be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares immediately upon such assignment without having a new Warrant issued.

13. SEVERABILITY; CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

EXECUTION VERSION

DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE

August 11, 2023

This Disclosure Schedule is made and given pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Subscription Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2023 (the “Agreement”), by and between Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. and Volition Capital Fund IV, L.P. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings as defined in the Agreement, unless otherwise provided.

Nothing in this Disclosure Schedule is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in the Agreement or to create any covenant. Inclusion of any item in this Disclosure Schedule (1) does not represent a determination that such item is material or establish a standard of materiality, (2) does not represent a determination that such item did not arise in the ordinary course of business, (3) does not represent a determination that the transactions contemplated by the Agreement require the consent of third parties, and (4) shall not constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such item.

This Disclosure Schedule includes brief descriptions or summaries of certain agreements and instruments, copies of which are available upon reasonable request. Such descriptions do not purport to be comprehensive, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the documents described, true and complete copies of which have been provided to Volition Capital Fund IV, L.P. or its counsel.

Section 2.2

1.The Company’s finance department recently became aware of a material contract entered into by a Subsidiary of the Company, Grove Collaborative, Inc. The finance department has reported the contract to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and to Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. While there has not been a final determination, Xxxxx & Young LLP has indicated that the length of time between the execution of the contract and the time the Company’s finance department became aware of the contract is a significant deficiency in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

2.The Board of Directors anticipates appointing Xxxx Xxxxxxxx as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors, and appointing Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx as Executive Chairman.

3.The Company anticipates that it may use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities to repurchase shares of its Class A Common Stock.

4.The Company is in discussions for the potential acquisition of Unconditional Love Inc. (d/b/a Hello Bello), which may be for cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock.

5.The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, in conjunction with other representatives from other California district and city attorneys’ offices, is currently investigating the Company’s compliance with California’s Automatic Renewal Law (“ARL”), California’s Unfair Competition Law, and False Advertising Law (the "CA ARL Matter”), and the Federal Trade Commission is currently investigating the Company’s billing and automatic renewal practices (the “FTC Matter”). The FTC Matter specifically relates to an investigation of the Company’s compliance with Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act, the CAN-SPAM Rule, the Unordered Merchandise Statute, and other matters related to our subscription offerings. The Company certified compliance with the initial FTC Civil Investigative Demand on June 16, 2023 and continues to work closely with investigators toward resolution on both matters. To date, no legal proceeding has commenced regarding these investigations.
