THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of October 2, 2017 by and between Alphatec Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the individual listed on the signature page attached hereto under the heading “Purchaser” (“Purchaser”).

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Purchaser desires to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company desires to sell to Purchaser, (a) that number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) set forth below Purchaser’s signature hereto and (b) that number of common stock purchase warrants set forth below Purchaser’s signature hereto, which warrants shall (i) be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Warrant Agreement”), (ii) have an exercise price equal to $5.00 per Share, and (iii) shall be first exercisable on the six month anniversary of the issuance date of such warrants (collectively, the “Securities”), for the purchase price set forth below Purchaser’s signature hereto (the purchase price to be paid by Purchaser herein referred to as the “Purchase Price”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Issuance of Securities. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, at the Closing, Purchaser agrees to purchase, and the Company agrees to issue, the Securities at the Purchase Price. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, at the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price to the Company in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Securities hereunder (the “Closing”) shall take place at a mutually agreed time and on a mutually agreed date on or before January 1, 2018 (the “Closing Date”) following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below at the offices of the Company.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, that:

(a) Purchaser has full right, capacity and power to execute and deliver this Agreement and any other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby to which Purchaser is a party, and to perform his obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and all other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby to which Purchaser is or will become a party have been (or, when executed, will be) duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Purchaser and, assuming due execution by other parties, constitute legal, valid and binding agreements, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies and (ii) public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or states securities law, rule or regulation) with regards to indemnification, contribution or exculpation.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby to which Purchaser is a party and the fulfillment of and compliance with the respective terms hereof and thereof by Purchaser, do not and will not (i) violate any requirements of any material obligation of Purchaser, or (ii) result in or constitute (with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) any default or event of default under any such material obligation of Purchaser, or give rise to a right of termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, any terms of any such material obligation or (iii) violate any statute, law ordinance, rule, regulation or order of any court or governmental authority or any judgment, order or decree (U.S. federal, state or local or foreign) applicable to Purchaser.

(c) The Securities to be received by Purchaser will be acquired by Purchaser for investment only for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of applicable U.S. federal or state or foreign securities laws. Purchaser has no current intention of selling, granting participation in or otherwise distributing the Securities in violation of applicable U.S. federal or state or foreign securities laws. Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity, or to any third person or entity, with respect to any of the Securities, in each case, in violation of applicable U.S. federal or state or foreign securities laws.

(d) Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any applicable U.S. state or foreign securities laws, and that the Securities are being issued in reliance on an exemption from registration, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.


(e) Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s investment. Purchaser is a sophisticated investor, has relied upon independent investigations made by Purchaser and, to the extent believed by Purchaser to be appropriate, Purchaser’s representatives, including Purchaser’s own professional, tax and other advisors, and is making an independent decision to invest in the Securities. Purchaser has been furnished with such documents, materials and information that Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate for evaluating an investment in the Company, and Purchaser has read carefully such documents, materials and information and understands and has evaluated the types of risks involved with a purchase of the Securities. Purchaser has not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) from the Company or its respective stockholders, directors, officers or affiliates, or from any other person or entity, in connection with Purchaser’s investment in the Securities. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has not given any assurances with respect to the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Securities.

(f) Purchaser has had, prior to Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Purchaser’s investment in the Securities and to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to Purchaser or to which Purchaser had access. Purchaser is satisfied with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

(g) Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has had the opportunity to seek legal advice from, and has received legal advice from, legal counsel on this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and all documents, materials and information that Purchaser has requested or read relating to an investment in the Securities and confirms that Purchaser is satisfied with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

(h) Purchaser understands that no U.S. federal or state or foreign agency has passed upon this investment or upon the Company, or upon the accuracy, validity or completeness of any documentation provided to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor has any such agency made any finding or determination as to this investment.

(i) Purchaser understands that: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state or foreign securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) an exemption exists permitting such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred without such registration; (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Rule 144”) may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

(j) Purchaser understands that (i) the Securities must be held indefinitely and Purchaser must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Securities unless such Share is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available; (ii) Purchaser is prepared to bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period of time; and (iii) the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws.

(k) Purchaser understands that this investment is not recommended for investors who have any need for a current return on this investment or who cannot bear the risk of losing their entire investment. In that regard, Purchaser understands that Purchaser’s investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk of loss of Purchaser’s investment therein, and that Purchaser may lose the entire amount of Purchaser’s investment. Purchaser acknowledges that: (i) Purchaser has adequate means of providing for Purchaser’s current needs and possible personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity in this investment; (ii) Purchaser’s commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to Purchaser’s net worth; and (iii) Purchaser’s investment in the Securities will not cause Purchaser’s overall financial commitments to become excessive.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, that:

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any of: (i) the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations or financial condition of the Company or (ii) the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder.


(b) The Company has full right, capacity and power to execute and deliver this Agreement and any other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby to which the Company is a party, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and all other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby to which the Company is or will become a party have been (or, when executed, will be) duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company and, assuming due execution by other parties, constitute legal, valid and binding agreements, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies and (ii) public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or states securities law, rule or regulation) with regards to indemnification, contribution or exculpation.

(c) Upon issuance of the Shares by the Company at the Closing and payment in full by Purchaser as provided above, the Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable, and upon issuance of any Shares upon exercise of the common stock purchase warrants issued hereunder and payment in full of the exercise price thereof, the Shares issued upon exercise of such warrant will be duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable.
