2.2 Purchase Price

The aggregate purchase price payable by Purchaser to Vendors for the Purchased Shares shall be equal to:

(i) the sum of $41,650,000,

(ii) plus the amount of the Closing Cash,

(iii) less the amount of the Closing Indebtedness,

(vii) plus the amount (if any) by which the Closing Working Capital is greater than Target Working Capital, and

(viii) less the amount (if any) by which the Target Working Capital is greater than the Closing Working Capital

(as so adjusted, the “Closing Consideration”), it being understood that the adjustments referred to in paragraphs (ii) to (viii) of this Section 2.2 shall be calculated without duplication and, for greater certainty, at the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Exhibit B contains a sample calculation of the Closing Consideration based upon estimates as of April 30, 2022. Exhibit C sets out a sample calculation of the manner in which the Closing Consideration is to be allocated among Vendors based upon estimates as of April 30, 2022.

2.3 Estimated Closing Consideration

Vendors and Purchaser acknowledge that it will not be possible to determine the definitive Closing Consideration until the Closing Date Balance Sheet is available. Accordingly, two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date Vendors shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser an estimated balance sheet of the Corporation as at the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and a statement (collectively with the said estimated balance sheet of the Corporation, the “Estimated Closing Consideration Statement”) setting forth, as at the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and, where applicable, based on the said estimated balance sheet of the Corporation:

(i) an estimate of the Cash as at the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Cash”);

- 16 -

(ii) an estimate of the Indebtedness as at the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”);

(iv) an estimate of the Working Capital as at the end of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”);

(v) an estimate of the Closing Consideration (the “Estimated Closing Consideration”), which shall be an amount equal to $41,650,000, (i) plus the Estimated Closing Cash, (ii) less the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, (iii) less the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, (iv) less the 113 Indebtedness, (v) less the 113 Indebtedness to Minority Vendors (vi) plus or minus, as the case may be, the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment; and

(ii) on behalf of the Corporation, that portion of the Indebtedness payable to each of the Paid-Out Creditors thereof (which amount shall be the amount set forth in the applicable Pay-Out Letter) in immediately available funds in such manner as directed by each Paid-Out Creditor in the applicable Pay-Out Letter;

Vendors’ Representative and his advisors shall be permitted reasonable access to the working papers of the accountants and the employees of the Corporation in respect of the content of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and in respect of the Closing Calculation in accordance with reasonable protocols regarding such access.

- 18 -

(2)            Vendors’ Representative may object to the Closing Calculation by written notice to Purchaser within sixty (60) days following receipt thereof, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which Vendors’ Representative objects (the “Closing Objection Notice”) and the Parties shall be deemed to have agreed upon all other items and amounts contained in such Closing Calculation which are not impacted by items or amounts objected to in the Closing Objection Notice. If no Closing Objection Notice is made within the period and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence, or if Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative confirm in writing that they accept the Closing Calculation prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, then the Closing Calculation shall be conclusive, final and binding on all the Parties without possibility of amendment or appeal and shall constitute the final Closing Calculation.

(3)            If a Closing Objection Notice is delivered in the manner and within the sixty (60) day period specified in the preceding paragraph, Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative shall in good faith attempt to resolve any matters in dispute with respect to the Closing Calculation as promptly as practicable. If they are unable to resolve all such items in dispute within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the Closing Objection Notice giving rise to such dispute, then those items or calculations in dispute shall be submitted for resolution within ten (10) Business Days following such sixty (60) day period to the independent firm of Ernst & Young in Montréal, Quebec or, if they are unwilling or unable (including by reason of conflict of interest) to accept the mandate to resolve the dispute, to such other independent firm of chartered professional accountants as Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative may agree in writing or, failing agreement, as appointed by the court (each being the “Independent Firm”). The Independent Firm, acting as an expert and not as arbitrator, will limit its review only to the specific items or calculations in dispute (except to the extent that the GAAP or the Methodologies require adjustments to other items as a result thereof). Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Firm to submit its determination or opinion in a written statement delivered to Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days of the appointment of such Independent Firm. Such determination or opinion, together with those items accepted by Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative in respect of the Closing Calculation or otherwise resolved between Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative, shall be conclusive, final and binding on all the Parties without possibility of amendment or appeal and shall constitute the final Closing Calculation.

(4)            The Parties shall cooperate fully in the preparation of the Closing Calculation. While the Independent Firm is making its determination hereunder, the Parties shall not communicate with the Independent Firm on the subject matter of its review, except by joint conference call, joint meeting or letter with copy simultaneously delivered to the other Parties.

(5)            The Parties will bear their respective fees and expenses (including those of their respective advisors) in preparing or reviewing, as the case may be, the Closing Calculation. The fees and expenses of the Independent Firm will be allocated between Purchaser and Vendors as determined (and as set forth in the final determination) by the Independent Firm based upon the relative success (in terms of percentages) of each of Purchaser’s claim, on the one hand, and Vendors’ claim, on the other hand. For example, if the final determination reflects a sixty-forty (60-40) compromise of Purchaser’s claims, the Independent Firm would allocate expenses forty percent (40%) to the party (i.e., either Purchaser, on the one hand, or Vendors, on the other hand) whose claims were determined to be sixty percent (60%) successful and sixty percent (60%) to the party (i.e., either Purchaser, on the one hand, or Vendors, on the other hand) whose claims were determined to be forty percent (40%) successful. The accounting procedures provided for by this Section 2.6 shall be the exclusive and conclusive methodology for determination of the matters covered thereby and shall be binding upon the Parties and shall not be contested by any of them other than as provided for in this Section 2.6. The fees and expenses allocated to Vendors under this Section 2.6(5) shall be shared by Vendor Groups based on their respective Pro Rata Share.

- 19 -

2.7 Payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment

(1)            If the Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6 is less than the Estimated Closing Consideration (such difference, represented by a positive number, being the “Over Payment”), then, within five (5) Business Days following such final determination, Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative shall give joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent:

(i) to release from the Adjustment Holdback an amount equal to the Over Payment up to the total amount of the Adjustment Holdback by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Purchaser; and

(ii) to release the remaining Adjustment Holdback, if any, to Vendor Groups, based on their respective Pro Rata Share, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by each of Vendor Groups.

(2)            If the Over Payment exceeds the Adjustment Holdback, then Vendor Groups shall, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Closing Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6, make payment by wire transfer to Purchaser in immediately available funds of such excess, based on their respective Pro Rata Share.

(3)            If the Closing Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6 is greater than the Estimated Closing Consideration (such difference, represented by a positive number, being the “Under Payment”), then, within five (5) Business Days following such final determination:

(i) Purchaser shall make payment, by wire transfer to the account specified by each of Vendor Groups in immediately available funds, of an amount equal to, such Vendor Group’s Pro Rata Share of the Under Payment;

(ii) Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative shall give written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Holdback to Vendor Groups, based on their respective Pro Rata Share, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by each of Vendor Groups.

For greater certainty, the Parties agree that no proceeds or other amount shall be received or receivable by Vendors for granting the restrictive covenant and that the restrictive covenant is being granted to maintain or preserve the fair market value of the Purchased Shares.

2.9 Solidary Obligations

(a)            OP hereby agrees to be bound as a solidary co-debtor with Purchaser for any and all of Purchaser’s obligations, covenants and representations and warranties under this Agreement and Purchaser hereby agrees to be bound as a solidary co-debtor with OP for any and all of OP’s obligations, convenants and representations and warranties under this Agreement.

8.3 Tax Filings

(1)            Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared, consistent with past practices and positions taken by the Corporation or 113 prior to the Closing except as required under applicable Law, and timely file or cause to be filed, all tax returns in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period for the Corporation and 113 that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall provide the Vendors’ Representative, in respect of the Corporation’s tax returns, and Minority Vendors, in respect of 113’s tax returns, with a draft of such tax returns sixty (60) days prior to filing the tax returns with the appropriate Governmental Entity accompanied by an allocation between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period of the Taxes shown to be due on the applicable tax return. Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, shall have the right to review the draft of the applicable tax returns and allocation provided to them by Purchaser and make any comments that they deem appropriate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

- 47 -

(2)            If applicable, within such thirty (30) days period, Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, shall deliver to Purchaser a written request for changes to the applicable tax return or allocation. Such changes shall be confined to items which Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, reasonably believe could adversely impact Vendors or Minority Vendors, as applicable, with respect to Taxes in respect of such Pre-Closing Tax Period. If Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, deliver such a request, Purchaser and Vendors or Minority Vendors, as applicable, shall in good faith attempt to resolve any matters in dispute with respect to the applicable tax return as promptly as practicable. If they are unable to resolve all such items in dispute within ten (10) days after the receipt of such written request, then those items or calculations in dispute shall be submitted for resolution within five (5) Business Days following such ten (10) day period to the Independent Firm. The Independent Firm, acting as an expert and not as arbitrator, will limit its review only to the specific items or calculations in dispute (except to the extent that GAAP or the Methodologies require adjustments to other items as a result thereof). Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Firm to submit its determination or opinion in a written statement delivered to Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, and Purchaser as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days of the appointment of such Independent Firm, and such determination or opinion, together with those items accepted by Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, in respect of the applicable tax return, shall be conclusive, final and binding on all the Parties without possibility of amendment or appeal and shall constitute the final content of such tax return in respect of the disputed items.

(3)            The Parties shall cooperate fully in the preparation of such tax return. While the Independent Firm is making its determination hereunder, the Parties shall not communicate with the Independent Firm on the subject matter of its review, except by joint conference call, joint meeting or letter with copy simultaneously delivered to the other Parties.

(4)            If Purchaser and Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, working with the Independent Firm, if applicable, are unable to resolve any issue by the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof) for the filing of the applicable tax return in question, such tax return shall be filed in such manner as Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, determine is correct, without prejudice to the resolution of the dispute; provided that, once the resolution of such dispute has been determined, the applicable tax return shall be amended, if necessary, to include the final resolution of such dispute and the prevailing Party shall bear the associated costs in the manner set forth in Section 8.3.

- 48 -

(5)            The applicable Parties will bear their respective fees and expenses (including those of their respective advisors) in preparing or reviewing, as the case may be, tax returns contemplated in this Section 8.3. The fees and expenses of the Independent Firm will be allocated between Purchaser and Vendors or Minority Vendors, as applicable, as determined (and as set forth in the final determination) by the Independent Firm based upon the relative success (in terms of percentages) of each of the Purchaser’s claim, on the one hand, and Vendors’ or Minority Vendors’, as applicable, claim, on the other hand. For example, if the final determination reflects a sixty-forty (60-40) compromise of the Purchaser’s claims, the Independent Firm would allocate expenses forty percent (40%) to the party (i.e., either the Purchaser, on the one hand, or Vendors or Minority Vendors, as applicable, on the other hand) whose claims were determined to be sixty percent (60%) successful and sixty percent (60%) to the party (i.e., either the Purchaser, on the one hand, or Vendors or Minority Vendors, as applicable, on the other hand) whose claims were determined to be forty percent (40%) successful. The procedures provided for by this Section 8.3 shall be the exclusive and conclusive methodology for determination of the matters covered thereby and shall be binding upon the applicable Parties and shall not be contested by any of them other than as provided for in this Section 8.3. The fees and expenses allocated to Vendors under this Section 8.3(5), insofar as they relate to the Corporation, shall be shared by Vendor Groups based on their respective Pro Rata Share and the fees and expenses allocated to Minority Vendor Groups under this Section 8.3(5), insofar as they relate to 113, shall be shared by Minority Vendor Groups based on their respective Pro Rata Share.

(6)            Unless required by applicable Law, without the prior written consent of Vendors’ Representative or Minority Vendors, as applicable, (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Corporation or 113, as applicable, shall not, and the Purchaser shall cause Corporation or 113, as applicable, not to, (a) file an amended tax return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (b) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, any limitations or prescription periods pursuant to applicable Tax Laws, or any other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (c) make any election in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (d) enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement with any Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

In connection with any transfer of the shares other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to Purchaser or OP or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144, OP may require the transferor thereof to provide to OP, at the transferor’s expense, an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to OP, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to OP, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred shares under the Securities Act.

- 49 -

(b) Legends. The book entry representing the shares of OrthoPediatrics Stock to be issued hereunder shall be restricted with a stop order in substantially the following form, until such time as they are not required under Section 8.4(d) or applicable Laws:

THESE SECURITIES ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN A RESTRICTED SHARE OWNERSHIP AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND THE ISSUER. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT (PROVIDED THAT THE TRANSFEROR PROVIDES THE ISSUER WITH REASONABLE ASSURANCES THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO SUCH RULE). NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE BY THE ISSUER AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT FOR RESALES OF THESE SECURITIES.

(c)            In order to enable each of Vendors entitled to OrthoPediatrics Stock hereunder to sell the OrthoPediatrics Stock under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, from the Closing Date until the later of (i) six (6) months following the Closing Date; or (ii) three (3) months following the lapse of the transfer restrictions on the OrthoPediatrics Stock contained in their respective restricted share ownership agreements, OP shall both (i) maintain the registration of the OP common stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and (ii) timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by OP pursuant to the Exchange Act.

(c) The indemnification obligations of Vendors pursuant to Section 9.2(a) in respect of any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Vendors contained in Section 3.2 shall not be effective until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses that would otherwise be indemnifiable pursuant thereto exceeds one percent (1%) of the Estimated Closing Consideration (the "Threshold Amount"), and then only to the extent such aggregate amount exceeds the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that in respect of the Vendors’ Core Representations or in the case of fraud by Vendors in respect of any inaccuracy of any of the other representations or warranties of Vendors contained in Section 3.2, the Threshold Amount shall not apply.

- 52 -

(e) Any claim, including a third party claim, for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification from Vendors resulting from the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Vendors contained in Section 3.2 or the matters disclosed in Section 9.2(a) of the Disclosure Letter shall be negotiated and determined by Vendors’ Representative.

(c) Any claim, including a third party claim, for which Vendors are entitled to indemnification from OP and Purchaser resulting from this Section 9.3 shall be made, negotiated and determined by Vendors’ Representative.

- 53 -

9.4 Notice of Potential Claims for Indemnification

(a) Subject to Sections 9.2(e) and 9.3(c), an indemnified party (the "Indemnitee") shall give the indemnifying party or parties (each, an "Indemnifying Party") prompt written notice (an "Indemnification Notice") of any matter or event that could give rise to a claim for indemnification by the Indemnifying Party under this Article 9, including any third party claim (an "Indemnification Claim"). Each Indemnification Notice shall specify the basis on which indemnification is sought and the Indemnitee’s good faith estimate of the amount of its Losses and, in the case of a third party claim, contain (by attachment or otherwise) such other information as such Indemnitee may have concerning such third party claim. After the delivery of an Indemnification Notice, the Indemnitee shall provide prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of all developments relating to the related Indemnification Claim and any material changes in Indemnitee’s good faith estimate of the amount of its Losses. The Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnifying Party with access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to its books and records, properties and personnel relating to the Indemnification Claim. The Indemnitee will not be entitled to indemnification for Losses of the Indemnitee to the extent that any delay in providing an Indemnification Notice or notice of future developments or other failure to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 9 prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend a third party claim or otherwise affects Indemnifying Party’s ability to reduce the amount of indemnifiable Losses.

(b) If the Indemnification Claim involves a third party claim, the provisions set forth in Section 9.5 shall be applicable.

9.5 Third Party Claims

Subject to Sections 9.2(e) and 9.3(c), the obligations and liabilities of the Parties hereunder with respect to a third party claim for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend against and to direct the defense of any such third party claim and any related proceeding, in its name or in the name of the Indemnitee, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s own choosing, and Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense thereof. The Indemnitee may participate in such defense with counsel of its own choosing, at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not, as long as it conducts the defense of any proceeding on behalf of the Indemnitee, be liable to the Indemnitee under this Article 9 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such proceeding.

(b) If, however, the Indemnifying Party fails or refuses to undertake the defense of such third party claim within fourteen (14) days after the Indemnification Notice has been given to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee (or, if later, fourteen (14) days after a proceeding is brought by the third party making the third party claim) or if Indemnifying Party later withdraws from such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to undertake the defense of such claim with counsel of its own choosing, with Indemnifying Party responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense. No settlement of, or payment in respect of, any third party claim involving potential liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 9 shall be made by or on behalf of the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

- 54 -

9.6 Subrogation

Upon payment in full of any Indemnification Claim, including the payment of any judgment or settlement with respect to a third party Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of the Indemnitee against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such Indemnification Claim. The Indemnitee shall assign or otherwise cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to pursue any claims against, or otherwise recover amounts from, any Person liable or responsible for any Losses for which indemnification has been received pursuant to this Agreement.

9.7 Tax Effect, Insurance and Other Recoveries

(a) All indemnification payments payable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds received by or payable to the Indemnitee as a result of the Loss for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification (or, if greater, the insurance that would have been available for such a claim under the insurance maintained by Vendors for the Corporation as of the Closing Date had such claim been made prior to the Closing Date). Each Party agrees to promptly make a claim against any applicable insurance with respect to any Loss that would otherwise be payable pursuant to Sections 9.2 or 9.3.

(b) Indemnification payments in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party without reduction for any Tax Benefits available to the Indemnitee. However, to the extent that the Indemnitee recognizes Tax Benefits as a result of any Loss, the Indemnitee shall pay the amount of such Tax Benefits (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Loss) to the Indemnifying Party as and when such Tax Benefits are actually recognized by the Indemnitee. For this purpose, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to recognize a tax benefit (“Tax Benefit”) with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Indemnitee’s cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the Loss from all taxable years, exceeds the Indemnitee’s actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the Loss for all taxable years (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax law and treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for any taxable year).

(c) Any indemnification payment made under this Article 9 shall be treated by Vendors and Purchaser as an adjustment to the Closing Consideration.

9.8 Miscellaneous

(a) Each of Vendors and Purchaser shall be responsible, as Indemnitee, for taking or causing to be taken all reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that may be indemnifiable under this Article 9.

- 55 -

(b) Each of OP and Purchaser acknowledges that it and its representatives have been permitted access to the Books and Records, books and records of 113, facilities, equipment, Tax returns, contracts, insurance summaries and other property and assets of the Corporation and 113 that Vendors have made available to OP and Purchaser, and each of OP and Purchaser has not been refused access to any document, asset or facilities relating to the Corporation or 113 that it has requested to see or review. Other than the indemnification obligations of each of Vendors set forth in Article 9, none of Vendors, its subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, trustees or representatives, will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to OP, Purchaser or to any other Person resulting from the distribution to OP, Purchaser, its Affiliates or representatives of, or OP or Purchaser’s use of, any information relating to the Corporation or 113, including the confidential offering memorandum in respect of the Corporation and any information (whether oral or in writing), documents or material made available to OP or Purchaser in the “DataSite – Project Unicorn” virtual data room to which each of OP and Purchaser has had access, management presentations, functional break-out discussions, responses to questions submitted on behalf of OP or Purchaser or in any other form in anticipation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. OP and Purchaser solidarily represent and warrant that nothing has come to their attention that would indicate that any of the representations or warranties of any of Vendors set forth in Article 3 are incorrect or inaccurate, and each of Vendors jointly (and not solidarily) represents and warrants that nothing has come to its attention that would indicate that any of the representations or warranties of OP or Purchaser set forth in Article 4 are incorrect or inaccurate.

(c) No breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of any Party hereto, after the Closing, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Within ten (10) days after any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction and a resolution of any appeal therefrom and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom), or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement, in each case, with respect to a claim hereunder (i) if the claim for indemnification was brought pursuant to Section 9.3, OP and Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid all sums due and owing to the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds to accounts specified by Vendors’ Representative and (ii) if the claim for indemnification was brought pursuant to Section 9.2, Purchaser and the applicable Vendor shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser (payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the written payment instructions furnished by Purchaser to the Escrow Agent), from such Vendor Group’s portion of the Indemnity Holdback, any sums due and owing in accordance with this Article 9, and if the sums due and owing to Purchaser exceed such Vendor Group’s portion of the remaining Indemnity Holdback, such Vendor Group shall pay or cause to be paid all additional sums due and owing to the Purchaser in immediately available funds to an account specified by Purchaser. Any of the Indemnity Holdback remaining, net of the amount of any outstanding, unresolved claims of Losses brought pursuant to Section 9.2 (the amounts set forth, the “Reserve Amounts”), shall automatically be released and distributed to the applicable Vendor after the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date and Purchaser and applicable Vendor agree to instruct the Escrow Agent accordingly. The Reserve Amounts shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent, promptly after the unresolved indemnification claims to which they relate are finally resolved in accordance with this Article 9 as confirmed by a joint written direction of the applicable Vendor and Purchaser or a final, non-appealable judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.

RESTRICTED SHARE OWNERSHIP AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made effective as of ___________, 2022 between OrthoPediatrics Corp., a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware in the United States (the “Company”) and [SHAREHOLDER NAME] (the “Restricted Shareholder”).

RECITALS:

A. In connection with an issuance by the Company of [●] of its Common Shares to the Restricted Shareholder (the “Shares”) on or about the date hereof pursuant to that certain Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated June ___, 2022 to which both the Company and the Restricted Shareholder are inter alia parties (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”), the Company has required the Restricted Shareholder, as a condition to being issued the Shares, to enter into this Restricted Share Ownership Agreement (this “Agreement”).

B. This Agreement gives the Company an option to repurchase some or all of the Shares upon the occurrence of certain events.

C. The Restricted Stockholder is an employee of Pega Medical Inc. (“Pega”), a subsidiary of the Company and is a party to an employment agreement with Pega dated the date hereof, as same may be amended, restated or replaced from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”).

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. SHARES SUBJECT TO REPURCHASE

1.1. General. Shares that become unrestricted in accordance with this Section 1 are referred to in this Agreement as “Unrestricted Shares”. Shares that are not Unrestricted Shares as provided in this Section 1 are referred to in this Agreement as “Restricted Shares”. Lifting of the restrictions on the Shares occurs over time, conditional on the Restricted Shareholder’s continuous service over that time as an employee of Pega, the Company or one or more of its other subsidiaries (a “Service Provider”). As of the date of this Agreement (the “Commencement Date”), none of the Shares are Unrestricted Shares.

1.2. Projected Schedule. Subject to Section 1.3, so long as the Restricted Shareholder remains a Service Provider, the Shares will all become Unrestricted Shares on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Commencement Date.

1.3. Accelerated Lapse. The Shares will all immediately become Unrestricted Shares at the date the Restricted Shareholder ceases to remain a Service Provider prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Commencement Date in the following circumstances: (i) Restricted Shareholder’s death or “Disability” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), (ii) Restricted Shareholder’s termination by Pega, the Company (or any other subsidiary) without “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement); (iii) Restricted Shareholder’s resignation from Pega, the Company (or any other subsidiary) for “Good Reason” (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement); or (iv) a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Company 2017 Incentive Award Plan) or similar event in respect of Pega. In the event that the Restricted Stockholder is not bound by any written employment agreement with Pega or the Company, the term “Cause” shall mean (i) an act or omission by the Restricted Shareholder that constitutes deliberate or willful misconduct, a breach of fiduciary trust for the purpose of gaining a personal profit, or a violation of any law, rule or regulation; (ii) an act or omission by the Restricted Shareholder that materially and adversely affects the best interests of the Company or any affiliate; (iii) an act or omission by the Restricted Shareholder that, under the circumstances, would make it unreasonable to expect the Company to continue to employ or engage the Restricted Shareholder, including without limitation, (x) the commission of any crime (other than minor vehicular violations), (y) the commission or attempted commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, neglect or negligence in the performance of the Restricted Shareholder’s duties or (iv) any act of malfeasance, substance abuse, sexual harassment, discrimination, or moral turpitude that, in the Restricted Shareholder’s reasonable judgment, reflects adversely on the reputation of the Company or its subsidiaries; (v) Restricted Shareholder’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform Restricted Shareholder’s duties if such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the Company delivers to Restricted Shareholder a written demand for substantial performance, specifically identifying in such written demand the manner in which Restricted Shareholder has not substantially performed Restricted Shareholder’s duties. The foregoing definition shall not in any way preclude or restrict the right of the Company (or any subsidiary) to discharge or dismiss Restricted Shareholder or any other person in the service of the Company (or any subsidiary) for any other acts or omissions, but such other acts or omissions shall not be deemed, for purposes of this Agreement to constitute grounds for termination for Cause.

1.4. Rights as a Shareholder. Except as set forth in this Agreement, unless and until the Restricted Shares are repurchased by the Company as described in this Agreement, the Restricted Shareholder will have all rights as a shareholder of the Company in respect of the Restricted Shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote, the right to receive dividends and the right to participate in a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, on the same basis as other holders of shares of the same class or series as the Shares.

2. REPURCHASE OPTION OVER RESTRICTED SHARES.

2.1. Option. The Restricted Shareholder hereby grants to the Company an irrevocable option to repurchase all of the Restricted Shares (or, in the discretion of the Company, any portion thereof) if the Restricted Shareholder ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason specifically enumerated in Section 3 on or prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Share Repurchase Option”).

2.2. Repurchase Price. The purchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) for any Restricted Shares repurchased pursuant to the Company’s Share Repurchase Option will be equal to 10/100ths of a United States Dollar (USD$0.10) per Restricted Share, subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of an equity restructuring event, including, but not limited to, a stock split, share dividend or reverse stock split, spin-off or rights offering which impacts the number or kind of outstanding Common Shares (or other equity) of the Company or results in a change in per share par value of the Common Shares (or other equity) of the Company.

H-2

3. CEASING TO BE A SERVICE PROVIDER.

3.1. Cessation of Service. The Restricted Shareholder will cease being a Service Provider on any of the following events:

(a) the termination of the Restricted Shareholder’s employment with Pega, the Company (or any other subsidiary) for “Cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement); or

(b) the resignation by the Restricted Shareholder of his employment with Pega, the Company (or any other subsidiary), voluntarily and without Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

The date of termination will be the date that notice of termination is delivered by Pega, the Company (or any other subsidiary) to the Restricted Shareholder (without regard to any statutory, contractual or common law period of notice of termination) or the date that the Restricted Shareholder advises Pega, the Company (or any other subsidiary) that he is voluntarily resigning without Good Reason.

3.2. Changes in Capacity. The Restricted Shareholder will not be deemed to have ceased being a Service Provider merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Restricted Shareholder renders service to Pega, the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or a change in the entity within the Company’s control for which such Restricted Shareholder renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of service relationship. For example, a change in status from an employee of Pega or the Company to an officer of another subsidiary of the Company will not constitute ceasing to be a Service Provider. The foregoing changes in capacity will not prejudice or preclude the Restricted Shareholder from exercising his rights under the Employment Agreement, which could give rise to rights under Section 1.3(iii) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no cessation of service shall occur if the Restricted Shareholder ceases to be an employee of Pega, the Company (or any other subsidiary) but simultaneously commences or continues to perform services to any such entity as an advisor, independent contractor or consultant.

3.3. Authorized Leave. A leave will not constitute ceasing being a Service Provider in the following circumstances:

(a) the Restricted Shareholder is entitled to such leave under employment laws applicable to the Restricted Shareholder’s engagement as a Service Provider (e.g. pregnancy leave, parental leave) and the leave does not exceed the entitlements under applicable law;

(b) the leave is authorized by Pega, the Company (or any other subsidiary); or

H-3

(c) the leave is authorized by a board resolution of Pega.

In the case of a leave described in Section 3.3(c), the board of the Company may, in its sole discretion, extend the three (3) year restricted period to reflect any periods of interruption in the Restricted Shareholder’s continuous service as a Service Provider.

4. EXERCISE MECHANICS.

4.1. Notice Period. Upon becoming exercisable, the Company will have 90 days to exercise a Share Repurchase Option by delivery of a written notice to the Restricted Shareholder (the “Repurchase Option Notice”).

4.2. Assignment of the Share Repurchase Option. The Company may assign all or any part of the Share Repurchase Option to any other company controlled by or under common control with the Company (an “Assignee”). The Company will specify any Assignee in the Repurchase Option Notice delivered to the Restricted Shareholder.

4.3. Payment of the Repurchase Price. If a Share Repurchase Option is exercised, the Company and/or the Assignee (as applicable) will deliver payment of the Repurchase Price to the Restricted Shareholder, by delivering to the Restricted Shareholder the amount of the Repurchase Price by certified cheque, wire transfer or other immediately available funds.

By delivery of payment of the Repurchase Price by any of the methods noted above, the Shares subject to the Repurchase Option Notice will be deemed to have been conclusively repurchased by the Company or the Assignee (as applicable) and the Restricted Shareholder will, at the request of the Company, undertake all steps to effect the transfer of such Shares.

4.4. Rights upon Exercise. In the event that a Share Repurchase Option is exercised, the sole right and remedy of the Restricted Shareholder thereafter will be to receive the Repurchase Price, and in no case will the Restricted Shareholder have any claim of ownership as to any of the Shares being purchased as a result of the exercise of a Share Repurchase Option.

4.5. Power of Attorney. The Restricted Shareholder hereby irrevocably appoints the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or, if no such officer is appointed, the most senior officer of the Company) as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution solely for the purpose of taking all steps and execute and deliver any and all share transfers, stock powers or other agreements, documents or other instruments reasonably necessary to give effect to the repurchase of Shares contemplated pursuant to this Agreement. In the event the Chief Executive Officer of the Company resigns or is terminated following the date of this Agreement, the Restricted Shareholder appoints the replacement Chief Executive Officer (or, if no such officer is appointed, the most senior officer of the Company) as its true and lawful attorney on the same terms set forth above, and agrees to take all action necessary to confirm the appointment of such officer. The power of attorney granted by the Restricted Shareholder pursuant to this Section 4.5 is coupled with an interest and is given to secure the performance of the Restricted Shareholder’s obligations and duties under this Agreement, and such power of attorney will be irrevocable by the Restricted Shareholder. The power of attorney contemplated herein is not intended to be a continuing power of attorney or similar power of attorney within the meaning of and governed by applicable substitute decision, living will or estate planning legislation in any of the provinces or territories of Canada. The execution of this power of attorney will not terminate any power of attorney granted previously by the Restricted Shareholder and this power of attorney is not terminated by the execution by the Restricted Shareholder in the future of a power of attorney, and the Restricted Shareholder will not take any action that results in the termination of this power of attorney while any Shares remain subject to the Share Repurchase Option.

H-4

5. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARE TRANSFERS.

5.1. Consent Required to Transfer. Other than as required under this Agreement, the Restricted Shareholder will not sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Shares or any beneficial interest in the Restricted Shares (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, and complying with the terms of this Agreement.

5.2. Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Shareholder may, on notice to the Company, transfer all or any part of the Unrestricted Shares beneficially owned by him to any other person if such transfer is effected pursuant to the Restricted Shareholder’s will or the laws of intestate succession, provided any such transferee agrees to become subject to all of the obligations of the Restricted Shareholder and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, as if the proposed transferee was an original signatory hereto, by executing an adoption agreement in such form as of the Company may require, together with such other agreements, documents, undertakings and other instruments as the Company may require.

6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE RESTRICTED SHAREHOLDER.

The Restricted Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

6.1. No Conflict. The Restricted Shareholder is not a party to, bound or affected by or subject to any (a) agreement, or (b) law that would be violated, breached by, or under which any default has or would occur as a result of the Restricted Shareholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and grant of the Share Repurchase Option to the Company.
