If such Sponsor is an individual, such Sponsor has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Sponsor Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder. This Sponsor Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Sponsor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Sponsor Agreement, this Sponsor Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Sponsor, enforceable against such Sponsor in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies).

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Sponsor Agreement by such Sponsor does not, and the performance by such Sponsor of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) if such Sponsor is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Sponsor or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon such Sponsor or such Sponsor’s shares of Bright Lights Common Stock or Bright Lights Warrants), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Sponsor of its, his or her obligations under this Sponsor Agreement.

EARNOUT
Section 3.1 Earnout.
(a) Sponsor Holdco hereby irrevocably agrees that, following the Exchange and at (and subject only to the occurrence of) the Closing, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will become restricted shares and will be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.1(e). Subject to the limitations contemplated therein, Sponsor Holdco shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of ParentCo with respect to its Sponsor Earnout Shares, including the right to receive dividends and/or distributions made to the holders of ParentCo Common Stock and to voting rights generally granted to holders of ParentCo Common Stock.
(b) (i) one-half (1/2) of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions specified in Section 3.1(c)(i) (the “First Target Earn-out Shares”) and (ii) one-half (1/2) of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions specified in Section 3.1(c)(ii) (the “Second Target Earn-out Shares”).
(c) The Sponsor Earnout Shares will be subject to the following vesting conditions:
(i) If, at any time during the Earn-out Period, the closing share price of ParentCo Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (subject to equitable adjustment as set forth in Section 3.1(g)) for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days, the First Target Earn-out Shares will immediately vest and no longer be subject to the forfeiture conditions provided in this Section 3.1; and
(ii) If, at any time during the Earn-out Period, the closing share price of ParentCo Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (subject to equitable adjustment as set forth in Section 3.1(g)) for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days, the Second Target Earn-out Shares will immediately vest and no longer be subject to the forfeiture conditions provided in this Section 3.1.
7
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions applicable to more than one of Section 3.1(c)(i) or Section 3.1(c)(ii) have been satisfied at any time, then all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares subject to such satisfied vesting conditions will immediately vest and no longer be subject to the forfeiture conditions provided in this Section 3.1.
(e) If, upon the expiration of the Earn-out Period, the vesting of any of the Sponsor Earnout Shares has not occurred, then any Sponsor Earnout Shares that failed to vest pursuant to Section 3.1(c) will be automatically forfeited and transferred to ParentCo for no consideration, and no Person (other than ParentCo) will have any further right with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any holder of Sponsor Earnout Shares be entitled to retain after the Earn-out Period an aggregate number of Sponsor Earnout Shares greater than the total number of Sponsor Earnout Shares that has vested in accordance with Section 3.1(c).
(f) In the event that there is an Earnout Strategic Transaction during the Earn-out Period, then, to the extent that the holders of shares of ParentCo Class A Common Stock receive an Earnout Strategic Transaction Price that is greater than or equal to the applicable ParentCo trading price specified in Section 3.1(c)(i) or Section 3.1(c)(ii) (subject to 3.1(g)) any Sponsor Earnout Shares that have not previously vested in accordance with Section 3.1(c)(i) or Section 3.1(c)(ii), as applicable, will be deemed to have vested (to the extent that such Sponsor Earnout Shares would have vested pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i) or Section 3.1(c)(ii), as applicable, if the ParentCo trading price had been the Earnout Strategic Transaction Price for any 20 trading days within any period of 30 trading days during the Earn-out Period) immediately prior to the closing of such Earnout Strategic Transaction, and the holders of any Sponsor Earnout Shares deemed vested pursuant to this Section 3.1(f) will be eligible to participate in such Earnout Strategic Transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the holders of shares of ParentCo Class A Common Stock generally.
(g) If ParentCo shall, at any time and from time to time after the Closing, effect any stock splits, reverse stock splits, dividends (whether payable in stock, cash or other assets), reorganizations, recapitalization, reclassifications, subdivisions, combinations, exchange of shares or other like changes or transactions with respect to the ParentCo Class A Common Stock (an “Adjustment Event”), the per share stock price targets set forth in Section 3.1(c) shall be equitably adjusted for such Adjustment Event (it being acknowledged that, in the case of a cash dividend, such equitable adjustment shall result in a reduction in such per share stock price targets by the per share amount of such dividend). Any adjustment under this Section 3.1(g) shall become effective at the close of business on the date such Adjustment Event becomes effective (which shall be the “ex” date, if any, with respect to any such event).
(h) For purposes of this Agreement:
(i) “Earn-out Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date.
8
(ii) “Earnout Strategic Transaction Price” means the price per share of ParentCo Class A Common Stock paid or payable to the holders of outstanding shares of ParentCo Class A Common Stock (determined without giving effect to the vesting contemplated by Section 3.1(f)) in an Earnout Strategic Transaction, inclusive of any escrows, holdbacks or fixed deferred purchase price, but exclusive of any contingent deferred purchase price, earnouts or the like; provided that, if and to the extent such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of 21 days consisting of the day as of which such value is being determined and the 20 consecutive Business Days preceding such day, or (ii) if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized investment banking firm mutually selected by ParentCo and Sponsor Holdco, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer Taxes payable in connection with such sale).
(iii) “Sponsor Earnout Shares” means 1,035,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock.
