In connection with Executive’s employment by and service with the Company, Executive shall be appointed to the Board effective as of the Effective Date, and thereafter shall be nominated for reelection to the Board at each annual meeting of the stockholders of Parent during the Term. Executive shall have such responsibilities, power and authority as are customarily associated with the positions of president and chief executive officer in public companies, subject to the delegation of authority guidelines established by the Board from time to time and shall report solely and directly to the Board.

B.Term. The term of employment of Executive hereunder (the “Term”) will be for the period commencing on the Effective Dateand ending on the earliest of:

1.The date of termination of Executive’s employment in accordance with Article IV of this Agreement;

2.The date of Executive’s voluntary retirement in accordance with the Company’s plans and policies; or

3.The date of Executive’s death.

C.Principal Work Location. During the Term, Executive shall initially perform the services required by this Agreement from his home office in New York City, New York (the “Principal Location”), except for travel to other locations (including to the Company’s offices in Long Beach, California) as may be reasonably necessary to fulfill his duties and responsibilities hereunder.

II.
COMPENSATION

A.Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay to Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the rate of $800,000.00 per year (pro-rated for any partial year of employment), payable in substantially equal biweekly installments pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll practices. The Base Salary will be reviewed no less frequently than annually and may be adjusted upward (but not downward) by the Board (or a committee thereof) in its sole discretion.

B.Special Cash Bonus. In connection with Executive’s commencement of employment with the Company, the Company will pay to Executive a one-time cash bonus in an amount equal to $800,000.00 (the “Special Bonus”) in a single lump sum amount within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date. In the event of Executive’s resignation without Good Reason (as defined herein) or termination by the Company for Cause (as defined herein), in either case, within twelve (12) months following the Effective Date, Executive shall promptly (but no more than ten (10) days after the date of such termination of employment) repay to the Company an amount equal to (x) the aggregate amount of the Special Bonus multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar days remaining from the date of Executive’s termination of employment through (and including) the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and the denominator of which is 365.

C.Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Term (commencing with fiscal year 2022), Executive shall be eligible to earn a cash performance bonus (an “Annual Bonus”) targeted at 100% of Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”). The actual amount of any Annual Bonus shall be based upon achievement of specified levels of performance goals set by the Board, in consultation with Executive, at the beginning of the applicable fiscal year. Any Annual Bonus that becomes payable shall be paid at such times as annual bonuses are generally paid to senior executives of the Company, typically on or before, but in no event later than, March 15th of the calendar year following the year in which they are earned and, except as provided in Section IV hereof, shall be subject to Executive’s continued employment through the applicable payment date. Executive’s Target Bonus opportunity shall be subject to annual review by the Board, and adjustments may be made based upon the Board’s review of market trends, internal considerations and performance. The Target Bonus opportunity shall not be reduced at any time (including after any increase).

D.Long-Term Incentives.

1.Within ten (10) business days following the Effective Date, subject to approval of the Board, Parent shall grant to Executive an award of performance share units covering (at target) 250,000 shares of Parent’s common stock (the “Initial PSU Award”) pursuant to Parent’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (or any successor thereto) (the “Incentive Plan”). The Initial PSU Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions (including vesting conditions) of the Plan and an award agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “PSU Agreement”), to be entered into between Parent and Executive.

2.For each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Term (commencing with fiscal year 2022), Executive shall be eligible for one or more grants of long-term incentive awards (“Awards”) having a grant-date value determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), based upon the Board’s or the Compensation Committee’s review of market trends, internal considerations and performance. The type(s) of any such Award(s) and the relevant terms and conditions (including vesting conditions) shall be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee at the start of the applicable fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for fiscal year 2022 (subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable grant date), the Awards shall have an aggregate grant-date value equal to $6,000,000.00 and shall consist of (i) an Award of restricted stock units covering Parent common stock with a grant-date value equal to $4,500,000.00 (the “2022 Annual RSU Award”); and (ii) an Award of performance share units covering Parent common stock with a grant-date value equal to $1,500,000.00 (the “2022 Annual PSU Award”). The 2022 Annual RSU Award will vest with respect to (i) 12.5% of the underlying shares of Parent common stock on the six (6)-month anniversary of the applicable grant date, (ii) 12.5% of the underlying shares of Parent common stock on the first anniversary of the grant date, and (iii) 25% the underlying shares of Parent common stock on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through each such vesting date. The accelerated vesting terms applicable to the 2022 Annual RSU Award and the 2022 Annual PSU Award shall be no less favorable than the accelerated vesting terms applicable to the annual awards of restricted stock units and performance share units granted to other senior executives of the Company for fiscal year 2022. The 2022 Annual PSU Award shall vest at the conclusion of a three-year performance period based upon the attainment of certain pre-determined performance metrics determined by the Board or the

2

Compensation Committee in its sole discretion on the grant date and (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement) subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through each such vesting date. Each Award (including, the 2022 Annual RSU Award and the 2022 Annual PSU Award) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan and an award agreement to be entered into between Parent and Executive.

E.Reimbursement of Expenses. During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in performing services hereunder, including without limitation, all reasonable expenses of travel, and reasonable living expenses while away from home on business at the request of, or in the service of, the Company, provided that such expenses are incurred and accounted for in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Company.

F.Benefits. During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in and be covered by all health, insurance, pension, disability insurance and other employee plans and benefits maintained by the Company for the benefit of its employees from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the “Company Benefit Plans”), on the same terms as are generally applicable to other senior executives of the Company, subject to meeting applicable eligibility requirements of the Company Benefit Plans. Nothing contained in this Section II.F shall create or be deemed to create any obligation on the part of the Company to adopt or maintain any health, welfare, retirement or other benefit plan or program at any time or to create any limitation on the Company’s ability to modify or terminate any such plan or program.

G.Vacation and Holidays. During the Term, Executive shall participate in the Company’s Permissive Paid Time Off program, the terms of which can be modified by the Company at any time at the discretion of the Company. Executive shall also be entitled to such holidays as are established by the Company for all employees.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as part of the consideration for the promises and undertakings by the Company in this Agreement, Executive shall execute and deliver the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

B.Other Activities. Subject to the terms of the employment hereunder, during the Term, Executive shall devote substantially all of Executive’s business time and reasonable best efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities for the Company and shall not serve on the board of directors of any for profit or not-for-profit entity without the prior consent of the Board. Executive will not, without the prior written approval of the Board, engage in any other business activity or investment opportunity which is or may be competitive with the business of the Company or its affiliates, or which, individually or in the aggregate, would materially interfere or conflict with the performance of Executive’s duties, services, and responsibilities hereunder, or which is in violation of applicable employee policies established from time to time by the Company.

C.No Violation of Other Agreements. Executive represents that, to the best of Executive’s knowledge, the entrance into this Agreement and the performance of all the terms of this Agreement does not and will not breach any contract to which Executive is bound or any legal obligation of Executive:

d.Executive’s willful failure or refusal to perform Executive’s duties as required by this Agreement, if such failure to perform Executive’s duties is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board within ten (10) days following written notice to Executive that reasonably describes the duties which it is alleged that Executive has failed or refused to perform; or

e.Executive’s willful violation of any Company policy, rule, regulation or procedure that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the business, financial condition or reputation of the Company or its Affiliates.

3.Disability. “Disability” shall mean that Executive has become entitled to receive benefits under the Company’s applicable long-term disability plan or, if no such plan covers Executive, “Disability” means a physical or mental incapacity as a result of which Executive becomes unable to continue the performance of Executive’s material duties hereunder in substantially a full-time capacity for a period exceeding six (6) consecutive months.

A determination of Disability shall be subject to the written certification of a qualified medical doctor agreed to by the Board and Executive or, in the event of Executive’s incapacity to designate a doctor, Executive’s legal representative.

c.pay to Executive a pro-rated Target Bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, determined by multiplying Executive’s Target Bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days Executive was employed by the Company during the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, and the denominator of which is 365 or 366, as applicable (the “Pro-Rata Target Bonus”), payable in a lump sum at such time as annual bonuses are payable generally for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs; and

6

case, an amount equal to each remaining Company subsidy shall thereafter be paid to Executive in substantially equal currently-taxable monthly installments over the continuation coverage period (or the remaining portion thereof).

For the avoidance of doubt, upon a termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Section IV.D.2, Executive’s Awards will be treated as set forth in the applicable award agreements governing such Awards.

c.pay to Executive a Pro-Rata Target Bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, payable in a lump sum at such time as annual bonuses are payable generally for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs; and

d.subject to Executive’s valid election to continue healthcare coverage under Section 4980B of the Code, the Company shall reimburse Executive during the COBRA Period, for Executive’s and Executive’s eligible dependents with coverage under its group health plans at the same levels and the same cost to Executive as would have applied if Executive’s employment had not been terminated based on Executive’s elections in effect on the Date of Termination, provided, however, that (A) if any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the period of continuation coverage to be, exempt from the application of Section 409A under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), or (B) the Company is otherwise unable to continue to cover Executive under its group health plans without incurring penalties (including without limitation, pursuant to

V.
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

A.Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and to any person or entity which succeeds to all or substantially all of the business of the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other business combination or by acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. To the extent that any such successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company does not automatically, under applicable law, assume all obligations under this Agreement, then the Company will utilize its best efforts to obtain the agreement of the successor or assign to assume all the obligations arising from this Agreement, and to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. Any failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to between Executive and such successor or assign. The obligations of this Article shall apply equally to the Company, as herein before defined, and to any future successor or assign to its business which automatically by operation of law or otherwise (including pursuant to such successor’s or assign’s agreement to assume all obligations arising from this

8

Agreement) becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement (i.e. the obligation to use best efforts to obtain the agreement of a potential second successor is assumed by the first successor when it assumes the obligations of this Agreement). The obligations of this Article V shall also apply to any corporation (i.e., subsidiary or affiliated company) where the Company owns the majority of the voting securities of the corporation and the corporation becomes the employer for Executive at any time during the term of this Agreement.

B.Executive Assigns. This Agreement is personal to Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by Executive other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive’s legal representatives, executors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

VI.
EXCESS PARACHUTE PAYMENTS: LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS

A.Best Pay Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or part), to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in any other plan, arrangement or agreement, then such remaining Total Payments shall be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing the payments and benefits in the following order: (i) cash payments that may not be valued under Treas. Reg. § 1.280G-1, Q&A-24(c) (“24(c)”), (ii) equity-based payments that may not be valued under 24(c), (iii) cash payments that may be valued under 24(c), (iv) equity-based payments that may be valued under 24(c) and (v) other types of benefits. With respect to each category of the foregoing, such reduction shall occur first with respect to amounts that are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and next with respect to payments that are deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, in each case, beginning with payments or benefits that are to be paid the farthest in time from the determination of the Independent Advisors (as defined below). All reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Advisors shall be borne solely by the Company.

B.Certain Exclusions. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account; (ii) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Independent Advisors”) selected by the Company, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of Independent Advisors, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

controversy or dispute in accordance with the rules of JAMS pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the current version of which are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arhitration/ and a copy of which will be provided by the Company to Executive upon Executive’s request). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not require arbitration pursuant to this Section VII.G of any claims: (A) under a Company benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended; or (B) as to which applicable law not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act prohibits resolution by binding arbitration. Either party may seek provisional non-monetary remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction to the extent that such remedies are not available or not available in a timely fashion through arbitration. It is the parties’ intent that issues of arbitrability of any dispute shall be decided by the arbitrator.

2.The arbitration shall take place before a single neutral arbitrator at the JAMS office in New York City, New York. Such arbitrator shall be provided through JAMS by mutual agreement of the parties to the arbitration; provided, that, absent such agreement, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the rules of JAMS then in effect. The arbitrator shall permit reasonable discovery. The award or decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing; shall include the factual and legal basis for such award; shall be final and binding on the parties; and may be enforced by judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.Each party shall be responsible for paying its own costs for the arbitration, including its own attorneys’ and/or witnesses’ fees. In the event of arbitration relating to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for all costs incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such arbitration (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees in connection with such arbitration, including any litigation or appeal therefrom).

4.EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE ANY ARBITRATION CLAIM, THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE ANY ARBITRATION CLAIM DECIDED BY A JURY OR A COURT, BUT SHALL INSTEAD HAVE ANY ARBITRATION CLAIM DECIDED THROUGH ARBITRATION.

5.EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES. EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROHIBITED BY LAW, THIS WAIVER INCLUDES THE ABILITY TO ASSERT CLAIMS AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

6.This Section VII.G shall be interpreted to conform to any applicable law concerning the terms and enforcement of agreements to arbitrate service disputes. To the extent any terms or conditions of this Section VII.G would preclude its enforcement, such terms shall be severed or interpreted in a manner to allow for the enforcement of this Section VII.G. To the extent applicable law imposes additional requirements to allow enforcement of this Section VII.G, this Agreement shall be interpreted to include such terms or conditions.

H.Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law and the Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or resolutions of the Company in effect from time to time, Executive shall be entitled to indemnification by the Company to the same extent as other similarly-situated executive officers of the Company. In addition, the Company shall provide Executive with coverage under the directors and officers liability insurance policy, if any, maintained by the Company for the benefit of the members of the Board and officers of the Company to the same extent as such coverage is provided to members of the Board and similarly-situated executive officers of the Company. Subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of such indemnification provisions and policy, such provisions and policy shall continue to apply after Executive’s termination of employment with the Company with respect to his service to the Company prior to such termination of employment to the same extent, and on the same basis, as for other former members of the Board and executive officers.

11

I.Section 409A.

1.To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretative guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other such guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date (collectively, “Section 409A”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date, the Company determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A, the Company may adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies or procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the compensation and benefits payable hereunder, including without limitation actions intended to (i) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement from Section 409A, and/or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A, provided, however, that this Section VII.I.1 does not, and shall not be construed so as to, create any obligation on the part of the Company to adopt any such amendments, policies or procedures or to take any other such actions or to create any liability on the part of the Company for any failure to do so. In no event shall the Company, any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors or advisors be liable for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under or by operation of Section 409A. Any right to a series of installment payments pursuant to this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

2.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits (including, without limitation, any compensation or benefits provided pursuant to Section IV.D.2 or IV.D.3 above) shall be paid to Executive during the six (6)-month period following Executive’s Separation from Service if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Executive’s death), the Company shall pay Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to Executive during such period (without interest).

J.Withholding. Any payments hereunder will be subject to any required withholding of federal, state and local taxes pursuant to applicable law or regulation, and the Company and its affiliates shall be entitled to withhold any and all such taxes from amounts payable hereunder.

THE BEAUTY HEALTH COMPANY
2021 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT NOTICE

The Beauty Health Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the participant listed below (“Participant”) the Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”) described in this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (this “Grant Notice”), subject to the terms and conditions of The Beauty Health Company 2021 Incentive Award Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”) and the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Agreement”), both of which are incorporated into this Grant Notice by reference. Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Grant Notice or the Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan.

Participant:	Andrew Stanleick
Grant Date:	[____]
Number of RSUs at Maximum:	375,000
Vesting Commencement Date:	[____]
Vesting Schedule:

(a)General. Subject to clause (b) below, and further subject to and conditioned upon Participant’s continued service as a Service Provider through the last day of the Performance Period, a number of RSUs shall vest on the last day of the Performance Period equal to (i) the total number of RSUs granted hereby multiplied by (ii) the applicable vesting percentage (“Vesting Percentage”) set forth below, which shall be determined based on greater of (x) the Company’s Average Stock Price during the Year 3 Measurement Period and (y) the Company’s Average Stock Price during the Year 4 Measurement Period (each forgoing capitalized term as defined below), as follows:

	Average Stock Price During the Applicable Measurement Period:	Vesting Percentage (% of Maximum):
Below Threshold	Less than $[___]	0%
Threshold/Target	$[___]	66.67%
Stretch	$30.00	80%
Maximum	$37.50 or greater	100%

    In the event that the Company’s Average Stock Price falls between the Threshold and Target values or Target and Maximum values specified in the table above, the Vesting Percentage shall be interpolated on a linear basis (for clarity, if Average Stock Price falls below the Threshold value, the Vesting Percentage shall equal 0%).

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Change in Control is consummated during the Performance Period and Participant remains in continued service as a Service Provider until at least immediately prior to such Change in Control:

        (i)    In the event that (A) the Shares do not continue to be publicly traded following the consummation of such Change in Control and (B) no Assumption of the RSUs (as defined in Section 8.3 of the Plan) occurs in connection with such Change in Control, then, immediately prior to the Change in Control, a number of RSUs will vest based solely on the per-Share consideration paid or payable (as applicable) in connection with such Change in Control (as determined by the Administrator) or, if the Change in Control is consummated after the third anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, the Company’s Average Stock Price during the Year 3 Measurement Period (if greater); and

        (ii)    In the event that (A) the Shares do not continue to be publicly traded following the consummation of such Change in Control and (B) an Assumption of the RSUs (as defined in Section 8.3 of the Plan) occurs in connection with such Change in Control, then, effective immediately prior to the closing of the Change in Control, the RSUs will be deemed to convert into a number of unvested RSUs determined based solely on the per-Share consideration paid or payable (as applicable) in connection with such Change in Control (as determined by the Administrator) or, if the Change in Control is consummated after the third anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, the Company’s Average Stock Price during the Year 3 Measurement Period (if greater). Such unvested RSUs (as so assumed and adjusted in connection with the Change in Control) will be eligible to vest in full on the last day of the Performance Period in accordance with this clause (a) (based solely on the Participant’s continued status as a Service Provider through such date) or upon Participant’s Termination of Service as provided in clause (b) below.

(b)Termination of Service; Change in Control. Notwithstanding clause (a) above:

(i)If Participant incurs a Termination of Service prior to the last day of the Performance Period, then the RSUs shall vest under clause (a) above or be forfeited (as applicable) in accordance with the following table. Any vesting of the RSUs pursuant to the following table shall (A) be subject to Participant (or Participant’s estate, as applicable) timely executing and not revoking a release of claims in a form prescribed by the Company (a “Release”) that becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following such Termination of Service (the date such Release becomes effective and irrevocable, the “Release Effective Date”), and (B) be effective as of the Release Effective Date:

Reason for Termination of Service	If the Termination of Service Occurs Before the Third Anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, then:	If the Termination of Service Occurs On or After the Third Anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date but Before the Fourth Anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, then:
Death or Disability (as defined below)	A number of RSUs will vest based on the Company’s Average Stock Price over the Termination Measurement Period (as defined below).	A number of RSUs will vest based on the greater of (i) the Company’s Average Stock Price over the Termination Measurement Period and (ii) the Company’s Average Stock Price over the Year 3 Measurement Period.
Without Cause or for Good Reason (as defined below) Prior to the Consummation of a Change in Control	All RSUs will be forfeited upon such Termination of Service without payment.	A number of RSUs will vest based on the Company’s Average Stock Price over the Year 3 Measurement Period.
Without Cause or for Good Reason Within 24 Months After the Consummation of a Change in Control	A number of RSUs will vest based on the Company’s Average Stock Price over the Termination Measurement Period.	A number of RSUs will vest based on the greater of (i) the Company’s Average Stock Price over the Termination Measurement Period and (ii) the Company’s Average Stock Price over the Year 3 Measurement Period.
Any Other Reason (Including for Cause or without Good Reason)	All RSUs will be forfeited upon such Termination of Service without payment.	All RSUs will be forfeited upon such Termination of Service without payment.

(ii)        With respect to sub-clause (i) above, (A) the RSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest following Participant’s Termination of Service through the Release Effective Date and shall automatically be forfeited on the sixtieth (60th) day following such termination if the Release does not become effective and irrevocable on or prior to such date, and (B) any RSUs that do not become vested on the Release Effective Date pursuant to the applicable sub-clause shall be immediately forfeited on such date.

(c)Termination; Forfeiture. Unless earlier terminated as set forth in this Grant Notice or the Agreement, any RSUs that have not become vested on or prior to the last day of the Performance Period will thereupon be automatically forfeited by Participant without payment of any consideration therefor. Except as set forth in clause (b) above, if Participant experiences a Termination of Service for any reason prior to the last day of the Performance Period, all then-unvested RSUs will thereupon be automatically forfeited by Participant without payment of any consideration therefor.

BEAUTY HEALTH COMPANY	PARTICIPANT
By:
Name:	Andrew Stanleick
Title:

Exhibit A

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.

Article I.
GENERAL

1.1Award of RSUs. The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.

1.2Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control, unless it is expressly specified in in this Agreement or the Grant Notice that the specific provision of the Plan will not apply. For clarity, the foregoing sentence shall not limit the applicability of any additive language contained in this Agreement which provides supplemental or additional terms not inconsistent with the Plan.

1.3    Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.

Article II.
VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT

2.1    Vesting; Forfeiture. The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice except that any fraction of an RSU that would otherwise be vested will be accumulated and will vest only when a whole RSU has accumulated. Except as otherwise set forth in the Grant Notice, the Plan or this Agreement, and unless the Administrator otherwise determines, in the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited (after taking into consideration any accelerated vesting which may occur in connection with such Termination of Service, if any).

2.2    Settlement.

(a)RSUs that vest will be paid in Shares as soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of the applicable RSU, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date on which the applicable RSU vests (or, in the case of any accelerated vesting that occurs on the Release Effective Date pursuant to the Grant Notice, no later than sixty (60) days following the date on which the applicable Termination of Service occurs).

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay any payment under this Agreement that the Company reasonably determines would violate Applicable Law or an applicable provision of the Plan until the earliest date the Company reasonably determines the making of the payment will not cause such a violation (in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii)); provided the Company reasonably believes the delay will not result in the imposition of excise taxes under Section 409A.

Article III.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING

3.1    Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

3.2    Tax Withholding.

(a)Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, the Company shall withhold, or cause to be withheld, Shares otherwise vesting or issuable under this Award (including the RSUs) in satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations, in accordance with the Plan. The number of Shares which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum individual statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income, in accordance with Section 9.5 of the Plan.

(b)Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and its Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.

Article IV.
OTHER PROVISIONS

4.1    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

4.2    Clawback. The RSUs and the Shares issuable hereunder shall be subject to clawback or recoupment in accordance with this Section 4.2. In the event that the Administrator, in its good faith discretion, determines that Participant has committed an act that constitutes Cause, and such act has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in material harm to the Company and/or its affiliates, the Board may seek recoupment of up to the full amount of the RSUs and Shares issued upon settlement thereof and/or any proceeds received upon the sale of any such Shares. Nothing in this Section 4.2 shall limit the application of any clawback or recoupment policy in effect on the Grant Date or as may be adopted or maintained by the Company following the Grant Date, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

4.3    Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s General Counsel at the Company’s principal office or the General Counsel’s then-current email address or facsimile number. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant (or, if Participant is then deceased, to the Designated Beneficiary) at Participant’s last known mailing address, email address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.

4.4    Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

4.5    Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws.

4.6    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement or the

Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

4.7    Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

4.8    Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

4.9    Severability. If any portion of the Grant Notice or this Agreement or any action taken under the Grant Notice or this Agreement, in any case is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Grant Notice and/or this Agreement (as applicable), and the Grant Notice and/or this Agreement (as applicable) will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.

4.10    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash or the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

4.11    Not a Contract of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.

4.12    Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.

4.13    Governing Law. The Grant Notice and this Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding any state’s choice-of-law principles requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware.

1.Proprietary Information. During the term of my employment with the Company, I may receive and otherwise be exposed, directly or indirectly, to confidential and proprietary information of the Company whether in graphic, written, electronic or oral form, including without limitation, information relating to the Company’s business, strategies, designs, products, services and technologies and any derivatives, improvements and enhancements relating to any of the foregoing, or to the Company’s suppliers, customers or business partners (collectively “Proprietary Information”). Proprietary Information may be identified at the time of disclosure as confidential or proprietary or information which by its context would reasonably be deemed to be confidential or proprietary. “Proprietary Information” may also include without limitation (i)(a) unpublished patent disclosures and patent applications and other filings, know-how, trade secrets, works of authorship and other intellectual property, as well as any information regarding ideas, Work Product (as defined below), technology, and processes, including without limitation assays, sketches, schematics, techniques, drawings, designs, descriptions, specifications and technical documentation, (b) specifications, protocols, models, designs, equipment, engineering, algorithms, software programs, software source documents, formulae, (c) information concerning or resulting from any research and development or other project, including without limitation, experimental work, and product development plans, regulatory compliance information, and research, development and regulatory strategies, and (d) business and financial information, including without limitation purchasing, procurement, manufacturing, customer lists, information relating to investors, employees, business and contractual relationships, business forecasts, sales and merchandising, business and marketing plans, product plans, and business strategies, including without limitation, information the Company provides regarding third parties, such as, but not limited to, suppliers, customers, employees, investors, or vendors; and (ii) any other information, to the extent such information contains, reflects or is based upon any of the foregoing Proprietary Information. The Proprietary Information may also include information of a third party that is disclosed to me by the Company or such third party at the Company’s direction. Any information disclosed by any of the Company’s affiliated companies or by any company, person or other entity participating with the Company in any consortium, partnership, joint venture or similar business combination, which would otherwise constitute Proprietary Information if disclosed by the Company, shall be deemed to constitute Proprietary Information under this Agreement, and the rights of the Company under this Agreement may be enforced by any such affiliate or participating entity (as well as by the Company) with respect to any violation relating to the Proprietary Information disclosed by such affiliate or entity, as if that affiliate or entity were also a party to this Agreement.

2.Obligations of Non-Use and Nondisclosure. I acknowledge the confidential and secret character of the Proprietary Information, and agree that the Proprietary Information is the sole, exclusive and valuable property of the Company. Accordingly, I agree not to use the Proprietary Information except in the performance of my authorized duties as an employee of the Company, and not to disclose all or any part of the Proprietary Information in any form to any third party, either during or after the term of my employment with the Company, without the prior written consent of the Company on a case-by-case basis, and to cooperate with the Company and use my reasonable best efforts to prevent the unauthorized

use or disclosure or reproductions of any Proprietary Information. In addition, I agree not to copy or remove any tangible materials containing Proprietary Information from the premises of the Company, except in the proper performance of my duties as an employee of the Company or with the prior written consent of the Company on a case-by-case basis. Upon termination of my employment with the Company, I agree to cease using and to return to the Company all whole and partial copies and derivatives of the Proprietary Information, whether in my possession or under my direct or indirect control, providedthat I am entitled to retain my personal copies of (a) my compensation and benefits records, and (b) this Agreement. I understand that my obligations of nondisclosure with respect to Proprietary Information shall not apply to information that I can establish by competent proof (i) was actually in the public domain at the time of disclosure or enters the public domain following disclosure other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, (ii) is already in my possession without breach of any obligations of confidentiality at the time of disclosure by the Company as shown by my files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure, or (iii) is obtained by me from a third party not under confidentiality obligations and without a breach of any obligations of confidentiality. If I become compelled by law, regulation (including without limitation the rules of any applicable securities exchange), court order, subpoena, or other governmental authority to disclose any Proprietary Information, I shall, to the extent possible and permissible under applicable law, first give notice to the Company. I agree to cooperate reasonably with the Company (at the Company’s request) in any proceeding to obtain a protective order or other remedy. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, I shall only disclose that portion of such Proprietary Information required to be disclosed, in the opinion of my legal counsel. I shall request that confidential treatment be accorded such Proprietary Information, where available. Compulsory disclosures made pursuant to this section shall not relieve me of my obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to non-compulsory disclosures. I shall promptly notify my supervisor or any other officer of the Company of any possible unauthorized use or disclosure of Proprietary Information and shall cooperate fully with the Company to enforce its rights in such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall prohibit me from (x) filing a charge with, reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to, participating in any investigation by, or cooperating with any governmental agency or entity or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law or regulation; (y) communicating directly with, cooperating with, or providing information (including trade secrets) in confidence to, any federal, state or local government regulator (including, but not limited to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or the U.S. Department of Justice) for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or from providing such information to my attorney or in a sealed complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other governmental proceeding; and/or (z) making disclosures that are protected by the National Labor Relations Act or similar applicable law.

3.Defend Trade Secrets Act Notice of Immunity Rights. I acknowledge that the Company has provided me with the following notice of immunity rights in compliance with the requirements of the Defend Trade Secrets Act: (a) I shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of Proprietary Information that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, (b) I shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of Proprietary Information that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal and (c) if I file a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, I may disclose the Proprietary Information to my attorney and use the Proprietary Information in the court proceeding, if I file any document containing the Proprietary Information under seal, and do not disclose the Proprietary Information, except pursuant to court order.

4.Property of the Company. I acknowledge and agree that all notes, memoranda, reports, drawings, blueprints, manuals, materials, data, emails and other papers and records of every kind, or other tangible or intangible materials which shall come into my possession in the course of my employment with the Company, relating to any Proprietary Information, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and I hereby assign any rights or interests I may obtain in any of the foregoing. I agree to surrender this property to the Company immediately upon termination of my employment with the Company, or at any time upon request by the Company. I further agree that any property situated on the Company’s data systems or on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including without limitation electronic storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. I further agree that in the event of termination of my employment with the Company I will execute a Termination Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

5.Inventions.

5.1Disclosure and Assignment of Inventions. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Invention” shall mean any idea, invention or work of authorship, including, without limitation, any documentation, formula, design, device, code, method, software, technique, process, discovery, concept, improvement, enhancement, development, machine or contribution, in each case whether or not patentable or copyrightable, created or conceived and for purposes of this Section 5, “Company” shall mean the Company entity that is my employer as of the Effective Date or, if I am subsequently employed by any subsidiary or parent of such Company entity, the applicable subsidiary or parent by which I am employed. I will disclose all Inventions created or conceived by me after the Effective Date promptly in writing to an officer of the Company or to attorneys of the Company in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures, I will, and hereby do, assign to the Company, without requirement of further writing, without royalty or any other further consideration, my entire right, title and interest throughout the world in and to all Inventions created, conceived, made, developed, and/or reduced to practice by me in the course of my employment by the Company and all intellectual property rights therein. I hereby waive, and agree to waive, any moral rights I may have in any copyrightable work I create or have created on behalf of the Company. I also hereby agree, that for a period of one year after my employment with the Company, I shall disclose to the Company any Inventions that I create, conceive, make, develop, reduce to practice or work on that relate to the work I performed for the Company. The Company agrees that it will use commercially reasonable measures to keep Inventions disclosed to it pursuant to this Section 5.1 that do not constitute Inventions to be owned by the Company in confidence and shall not use any Inventions for its own advantage, unless in either case those Inventions are assigned or assignable to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.1 or otherwise.

5.2Certain Exemptions. The obligations to assign Inventions set forth in Section 5.1 apply with respect to all Inventions (a) whether or not such Inventions are conceived, made, developed or worked on by me during my regular hours of employment with the Company; (b) whether or not the Invention was made at the suggestion of the Company; (c) whether or not the Invention was reduced to drawings, written description, documentation, models or other tangible form; and (d) whether or not the Invention is related to the general line of business engaged in by the Company, but do not apply to Inventions that (x) constitute Background Technology, or entirely on my own time or after the date of this Agreement without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities or Proprietary Information; (y) do not relate to the Company’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the Invention; and (z) do not result from and are not related to any work performed by me for the Company. I hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company has notified me that, if I reside in the state of California, assignments provided for in Section 5.1 do not apply to any Invention which qualifies fully for exemption from assignment under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (“Section 2870”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B. If applicable, at the time of disclosure of an Invention that I believe qualifies under Section 2870, I shall provide to the Company, in writing, evidence to substantiate the belief that such Invention qualifies under Section 2870. I further understand that, to the extent this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of any state which precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign

certain classes of inventions made by an employee, Section 5.1 shall be interpreted not to apply to any Invention which a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes.

5.3Records. I will make and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions covered by Section 5.1. These records may be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, flow charts, electronic data or recordings, notebooks and any other format. These records shall be and remain the property of the Company at all times and shall be made available to the Company at all times.

5.4Patents and Other Rights. I agree to assist the Company in obtaining, maintaining and enforcing patents, invention assignments and copyright assignments, and other proprietary rights in connection with any Invention covered by Section 5.1, and will otherwise assist the Company as reasonably required by the Company to perfect in the Company the rights, title and other interests in my work product granted to the Company under this Agreement (both in the United States and foreign countries). I further agree that my obligations under this Section 5.4 shall continue beyond the termination of my employment with the Company, but if I am requested by the Company to render such assistance after the termination of such employment, I shall be entitled to a fair and reasonable rate of compensation for such assistance, and to reimbursement of any expenses incurred at the request of the Company relating to such assistance. If the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed to obtain, maintain and enforce patents, invention assignments and copyright assignments, and other proprietary rights in connection with any Invention covered by Section 5.1, or to perfect in the Company the rights, title and other interests in my work product granted to the Company under this Agreement (both in the United States and foreign countries), I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section 5.4 with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

5.5Prior Contracts and Inventions; Information Belonging to Third Parties. I represent and warrant that, except as set forth on Exhibit C, I am not required, and I have not been required during the course of work for the Company or its predecessors, to assign Inventions under any other contracts that are now or were previously in existence between me and any other person or entity. I further represent that (i) I am not obligated under any consulting, employment or other agreement that would affect the Company’s rights or my duties under this Agreement, and I shall not enter into any such agreement or obligation during the period of my employment by the Company, (ii) there is no action, investigation, or proceeding pending or threatened, or any basis therefor known to me involving my prior employment or any consultancy or the use of any information or techniques alleged to be proprietary to any former employer, and (iii) the performance of my duties as an employee of the Company do not and will not breach, or constitute a default under any agreement to which I am bound, including any agreement limiting the use or disclosure of proprietary information acquired in confidence prior to engagement by the Company or if applicable, any agreement to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party or to refrain from soliciting employees, customers or suppliers of such previous employer or other party. I will not, in connection with my employment by the Company, use or disclose to the Company any confidential, trade secret or other proprietary information of any previous employer or other person to which I am not lawfully entitled. As a matter of record, I attach as Exhibit C a brief description of all Inventions made or conceived by me prior to my employment with the Company which I desire to be excluded from this Agreement (“Background Technology”). If full disclosure of any Background Technology would breach or constitute a default under any agreement to which I am bound, including any agreement limiting the use or disclosure of proprietary information acquired in confidence prior to engagement by the Company, I understand that I am to describe such Background Technology in Exhibit C at the most specific level possible without violating any such prior agreement. Without limiting my obligations or representations under this Section 5.5, if I use any (i) Background Technology or (ii) any other Inventions in which I have an interest and that are excluded from the assignment of Inventions set forth in Section 5.1 (collectively (i) and (ii), the “Excluded Technology”) in the course of my employment or incorporate any Excluded Technology in any product, service or other offering of the Company, I hereby grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable, worldwide right to use and sublicense the use of Excluded Technology for the purpose of developing, marketing, selling and supporting Company

technology, products and services, either directly or through multiple tiers of distribution, but not for the purpose of marketing Excluded Technology separately from Company products or services.

5.6Works Made for Hire. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment with the Company and which are eligible for copyright protection are “works made for hire” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).

6.Restrictive Covenants. I agree to fully comply with the covenants set forth in this Section 6 (the “Restrictive Covenants”). I further acknowledge and agree that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, including its Proprietary Information and goodwill.

6.1Non-Competition. During the term of my employment by the Company and for a period of one (1) year immediately following the termination of such employment for any reason (collectively, the “Restricted Period”), I will not, directly or indirectly, for my own benefit or for the benefit of any other individual or entity other than the Company: (a) operate, conduct, or engage in, or prepare to operate, conduct, or engage in the Business, as defined hereafter, (b) own, finance, or invest in (except as the holder of not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) any Business, or (c) participate in, render services to, or assist any person or entity that engages in or is preparing to engage in the Business in any capacity (whether as an employee, consultant, contractor, partner, officer, director, or otherwise) (x) which involves the same or similar types of services I performed for the Company at any time during the last two years of my employment with the Company or (y) in which I could reasonably be expected to use or disclose Proprietary Information, in each case of (a), (b), or (c) in the Restricted Territory, as defined hereafter.

6.2Non-Solicitation of Company Personnel. During the Restricted Period, I will not, directly or indirectly, for my own benefit or for the benefit of any other individual or entity (a) employ or hire any Company Personnel in any capacity (whether as an employee, contractor, consultant or otherwise); (b) solicit or attempt to solicit for employment or hire any Company Personnel in any capacity; (c) entice or induce any Company Personnel to leave his or her or their employment with the Company; or (d) otherwise negatively interfere with the Company’s relationship with any Company Personnel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a general solicitation or advertisement for job opportunities that I may publish without targeting any Company Personnel shall not be considered a violation of Section 6.2(b).

6.3Non-Solicitation of Company Customer. During the Restricted Period, I will not, directly or indirectly, for my own benefit or for the benefit of any other individual or entity: (a) solicit business from, or offer to provide products or services that are similar to any product or service provided or that could be provided by the Company or that are otherwise competitive with the Business to, any Company Customer; (b) cause or encourage any Company Customer to reduce or cease doing business with the Company, or (c) otherwise negatively interfere with the Company’s relationships with any Company Customer.

6.4No Defamatory Communications. During the term of my employment with the Company and thereafter, I agree that I will not make any public or private statement which would reasonably be expected to defame or disparage the Company or any of its employees, officers, managers or directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.4 shall not preclude me from making any statement to the extent required by law or legal process.

6.5Tolling Period. Without limiting the Company’s ability to seek other remedies available in law or equity, if I violate any of the provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3, the Restricted Period applicable thereto shall be extended by one day for each day that I am in violation of such provisions, up to a maximum extension equal to the length of such Restricted Period so as to give the Company the full benefit of the bargained-for length of forbearance.

6.6Interpretation. If any restriction set forth in the Restrictive Covenants is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.

6.7Waiver. At any time, the Company may in its sole discretion elect to waive any or part of the Restrictive Covenants, provided any such waiver is expressly agreed to in writing by an executive officer of the Company, or, if I am an executive officer of the Company, by the Board of Directors of the Company.

6.8Definitions.

(a)“Business” means the business of developing, marketing, licensing, selling, or providing services related to non-invasive, innovative skin care products to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin with hydradermabrasion and/or microdermabrasion technology and serums.

(b)“Company Customer” means any individual who (i) is, or was at any time during the one year period prior to the termination of my employment with the Company, a customer, supplier, or vendor of the Company of whom I learned, with whom I had business contact or about whom I obtained Proprietary Information at any time during my employment with the Company, or (ii) is a prospective customer, supplier, or vendor of the Company of whom I learned, with whom I had business contact, or about whom I obtained Proprietary Information as part of a solicitation of business on behalf of the Company at any time during the one year period prior to my termination of employment with the Company.

(c)“Company Personnel” means any individual or entity who is or was at any time during the six-month period prior to my solicitation or other activity prohibited by Section 6.2, employed or engaged (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or in any other capacity) by the Company.

(d)    “Restricted Territory” means, collectively, (i) the States of California and New York and each county therein, (ii) each of the other states of the United States, and (iii) such additional countries in which the Company does business during my employment.

7.Notification to Other Parties. In the event of termination of my employment with the Company, I hereby consent to notification by the Company to my new employer or other party for whom I work about my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

8.Employment at Will. I understand and agree that my employment with the Company is at will. Accordingly, my employment can be terminated for any lawful reason or for no reason, without cause or notice, at my option or the Company’s option, subject to and except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Employment Agreement. The Restrictive Covenants will remain in effect for the periods specified in this Agreement, unless such Restrictive Covenants are modified by a further written agreement signed by both an authorized officer of the Company and me which expressly alters such Restrictive Covenants.

9.Miscellaneous.

9.1The parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, heirs, executors, and administrators and permitted assigns. I will not assign this Agreement or my obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion, and any such purported assignment without consent shall be null and void from the beginning. I agree that the Company may freely assign this Agreement to any affiliate or successor in interest, including any person or entity that, whether by way of merger, sale, acquisition, corporate re-organization or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

9.2This Agreement, together with the Employment Agreement, constitutes the parties’ final, exclusive and complete understanding and agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, relating to its subject matter.

9.3Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, obligations, rights or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be waived, modified or amended unless mutually agreed upon in writing by both parties. No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion is effective only in that instance and will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any other occasion.

9.4The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision(s) of this Agreement shall not impact the validity or enforceability of any other provision(s) of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

9.5I acknowledge that the Company will suffer substantial damages not readily ascertainable or compensable in terms of money in the event of the breach of any of my obligations under this Agreement. I therefore agree that the Company shall be entitled (without limitation of any other rights or remedies otherwise available to the Company) to obtain an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the continuance or recurrence of any breach of this Agreement. The non-prevailing party in any action or proceeding pursuant to this Agreement shall pay all of the prevailing parties reasonable and necessary expenses relating to any such action or proceeding including, without limitation, all reasonable attorney’s fees, if so authorized by applicable state and/or federal law.

9.6The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York exclusively, without reference to any conflict laws rule that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The Company and I agree that all disputes arising hereunder shall be adjudicated in the state and federal courts having jurisdiction over disputes arising in New York County, New York, and the Company and I hereby agree to consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. The Company and I each hereby irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement.

9.7Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified on the signature page to this Agreement or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, three (3) days after the date of mailing.

9.8Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment with the Company for any reason.

9.9This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. A facsimile, PDF (or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of

2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or any other type of copy of an executed version of this Agreement signed by a party is binding upon the signing party to the same extent as the original of the signed agreement.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT I HAVE EITHER CONSULTED WITH OR ON MY OWN VOLITION CHOSEN NOT TO CONSULT WITH SUCH COUNSEL. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH IT IMPOSES UPON ME WITHOUT RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. I SIGN THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY, IN DUPLICATE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COMPANY WILL RETAIN ONE COUNTERPART AND THE OTHER COUNTERPART WILL BE RETAINED BY ME.

Form of Release

[attached]

GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS

This General Release of all Claims (this “Release”) is entered into on _________ __, 20__ by and between The Beauty Health Company (“Parent”), Edge Systems LLC d/b/a The HydraFacial Company (“OpCo” and, together with Parent, the “Company”), and Andrew Stanleick (“Executive”). Executive hereby agrees as follows:

1.General Release and Waiver of Claims.

(a)For valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Executive and each of Executive’s respective heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, agents, successors, assigns and representatives (the “Releasor”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges each of Parent, the Company, and their respective partners, subsidiaries, associates, affiliates, successors, heirs, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, lawyers, insurers, and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with them (collectively, the “Releasees”), of and from any and all manner of action or actions, cause or causes of action, judgments, obligations, in law or in equity, suits, debts, liens, contracts, agreements, promises, liability, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs, attorneys’ fees or expenses, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which Releasor now has, ever had or may hereafter have against any Releasee, by reason of any act, omission, practice, conduct, event, cause, or other matter whatsoever from the beginning of time up to and including the date that Executive executes this Release, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Releasor releases and discharges Releasees from any and all claims in any way arising out of, based upon, or related to Executive’s employment with the Company, the termination of employment of Executive by the Company and/or the events surrounding the circumstances relating to that termination, including, but not limited to: (i) any and all claims arising under tort, contract and quasi-contract law, including, but not limited to, claims of breach of contract (express or implied), tortious interference with contract or prospective business advantage, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, promissory estoppel, detrimental reliance, invasion of privacy, wrongful or retaliatory discharge, fraud, defamation, slander, libel, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress or compensatory or punitive damages; (ii) any and all claims for monetary or equitable relief, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, back pay, front pay, reinstatement, experts’ fees, medical fees or expenses, costs, and disbursements; and (iii) and any and all claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination In Employment Act (“ADEA”), the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Equal Pay Act, the False Claims Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Federal Worker Retraining and Notification Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Section 1981 of U.S.C. Title 42, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, [the New York State Human Rights Law, the New York Labor Law (including but not limited to the New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, all provisions prohibiting discrimination and retaliation, and all provisions regulating wage and hour law), the New York State Correction Law, the New York State Civil Rights Law, Section 125 of the New York Workers' Compensation Law and the New York City Human Rights Law], and any other federal, state or local law or ordinance prohibiting employment discrimination, harassment or retaliation. This Release does not release claims arising after the date Executive executes this Release, nor claims that cannot be released as a matter of law, including, but not limited to, Executive’s right to file a charge with or participate in a charge by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), or any other local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws related to employment, against the Company (with the understanding that any such filing or participation does not give Executive the right to recover any monetary damages against the Company; Executive’s release of claims herein bars Executive from recovering such monetary relief from the Company before the EEOC, NLRB, or other administrative body). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Release does not apply to (i) any lawsuit brought to challenge the validity of this Release under the ADEA, (ii) payments or benefits under Section IV.D.[2][3] of that certain Employment Agreement between Executive and the Company, dated [______], 2022 (the “Employment

Agreement”), which payments and benefits (among other good and valuable consideration) are provided in exchange for this Release, (iii) any claims for indemnification arising under any applicable indemnification obligation of the Company, (iv) accrued or vested benefits under any applicable Company employee benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act) and (v) any rights Executive may have solely in Executive’s capacity as an stockholder of Parent.

(c)Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised by legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

Executive, being aware of, understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequence of specifically waiving California Civil Code Section 1542, hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits Executive may have thereunder, as well as any other applicable statutes or common law principles of similar effect, in order to effect a full and complete general release as described above. Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 (or any other applicable statute or common law principle of similar effect), and to implement a full and complete release, Executive expressly acknowledges this Release is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims he does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of signing this Release, and that this Release contemplates the extinguishment of any such claims.

2.Consideration and Revocation Period. By signing this Release, Executive represents and warrants that:

(a)Under the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company advises Executive that he should consult with independent counsel before executing this Release; and Executive acknowledges that he has been so advised. Executive further acknowledges that he has had at least [twenty-one (21)][forty-five (45)] days to consider this Release before signing it and Executive further acknowledges that if he signs this Release prior to the expiration of the [twenty-one (21)][forty-five (45)] day period, Executive waives the remainder of that period.

(b)Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Release in its entirety; that he has had an adequate opportunity to consider it; that he understands all its terms; and that he knowingly and voluntarily assents to all the terms and conditions contained herein, including, without limitation, the waiver and release contained herein.

(c)Executive further acknowledges that he has seven (7) calendar days following the date he signs this Release to revoke it and this Release shall not become effective until the eighth (8th) day following the date on which Executive signs this Release. Executive understands that if he wishes to revoke this Release, Executive must deliver written notice of revocation (which may be by email), stating Executive’s intent to revoke this Release on or before 5:00 p.m. (PST) of the seventh (7th) day after the date on which Executive signs this Release to [TITLE], at [ADDRESS]. Executive acknowledges that if Executive revokes this Release, Executive will not receive any payments or benefits pursuant to Section IV.D.[2][3] of the Employment Agreement.

3.No Assignment. Executive represents and warrants that there has been no assignment or other transfer of any interest in any claim released hereunder which Executive may have against each Releasee and Executive agrees to indemnify and hold each Releasee harmless from any liability, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by any Releasee as the result of any such assignment or transfer or any rights or claims under any such assignment or transfer. It is

the intention of the parties that this indemnity does not require payment as a condition precedent to recovery by any Releasee against Executive under this indemnity.

4.Proceedings. Executive agrees that if Executive hereafter commences any suit arising out of, based upon, or relating to any of the claims released hereunder or in any manner asserts against any Releasee any of the claims released hereunder, then in the event that Executive is a non-prevailing party in such suit, Executive agrees to pay to such Releasee, in addition to any other damages caused to such Releasee thereby, all attorneys’ fees incurred by such Releasee in defending or otherwise responding to said suit or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing sentence shall not apply to the extent such attorneys’ fees are attributable to Executive’s good faith challenge to or a request for declaratory relief with respect to the validity of the waiver herein under the ADEA.

5.Nonadmission. Executive further understands and agrees that neither the payment of any sum of money nor the execution of this Release shall constitute or be construed as an admission of any liability whatsoever by any of the Releasees, all of whom have consistently taken the position that they have no liability whatsoever to Executive.

6.Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive is bound by that certain Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Employment Agreement). Executive hereby reaffirms the covenants, terms and conditions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, and acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

7.Severablility. In the event any provision or part of this Release is found to be invalid or unenforceable, only that particular provision or part so found, and not the entire Release, will be inoperative.

8.Governing Law. This Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS READ THIS RELEASE AND THAT HE FULLY KNOWS, UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES ITS CONTENTS, AND THAT HE HEREBY EXECUTES THE SAME AND MAKES THIS RELEASE AND THE RELEASES AND AGREEMENTS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN VOLUNTARILY AND OF HIS OWN FREE WILL.

[REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this General Release of all Claims this ___ day of _______________ 20__.
