Re: Subscription Agreements
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) is being entered into by and among Compute Health Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Allurion Technologies Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of ATI (as defined below) (“Pubco”), Compute Health LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), Allurion Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ATI”), RTW Master Fund, Ltd., an Exempted Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“RTW Master”), RTW Innovation Master Fund, Ltd., an Exempted Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“RTW Innovation”), and RTW Venture Fund Limited, an investment company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Guernsey (“RTW Venture”, and collectively with RTW Master and RTW Innovation, the “Subscribers”, and, each, a “Subscriber”), in consideration for (i) the investment by RTW Master in Pubco pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the “RTW Master Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company, Pubco and RTW Master, (ii) the investment by RTW Innovation in Pubco pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the “RTW Innovation Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company, Pubco and RTW Innovation, (iii) the investment by RTW Venture in Pubco pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the “RTW Venture Subscription Agreement”, and collectively with the RTW Master Subscription Agreement and RTW Innovation Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”, and, each, a “Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company, Pubco and RTW Venture, and (iv) the financing (the “Royalty Financing”) provided by the Subscribers to Allurion (as defined below) pursuant to that certain Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the “Royalty Financing Agreement”), by and among Allurion and the Subscribers. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the RTW Master Subscription Agreement.
Reference is hereby made to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Pubco, ATI , Merger Sub II, Compute Health Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub I”) and together with Merger Sub II, the “Merger Subs”), pursuant to which, among other things, in the manner, and on the terms and subject to the conditions and exclusions set forth therein, (i) the Company will merge with and into Pubco (the “CPUH Merger”), with Pubco surviving as the surviving company in the CPUH Merger and, after giving effect to such merger, becoming the sole owner of each Merger Sub, (ii) Merger Sub I will merge with and into ATI (the “Intermediate Merger”), with ATI surviving as the surviving company in the Intermediate Merger (ATI, in its capacity as the surviving company of the Intermediate Merger, the “Intermediate Surviving Corporation”) and, after giving effect to such merger, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and (iii) the Intermediate Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Final Merger” and, collectively with the CPUH Merger and the Intermediary Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving as the surviving company in the Final Merger.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Allurion” means, at and prior to the Final Merger, ATI or, after the Final Merger, Merger Sub II.
In consideration of the aggregate Purchase Price paid to Pubco by the Subscribers and the financing provided to Allurion by the Subscribers, the Company, solely in connection with Sections 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement, Pubco, Merger Sub II, solely in connection with Sections 2, 3(i), 5, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement, ATI and the Subscribers agree as follows:
1. Most Favored Nations.
(a) No Other Subscriber shall have entered on or prior to the date hereof, or shall enter on or prior to the CPUH Merger, into any Other Subscription Agreement, side letter or similar agreement or comparable arrangement or understanding (written or oral) with the Company that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting such Other Subscriber with respect to its rights and obligations as a direct or indirect investor in the Company or as a subscriber of any Other Subscribed Shares in a manner more favorable or advantageous to such Other Subscriber than the rights and obligations established in favor of the Subscribers by the Subscription Agreements (other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such investor or its affiliates or related funds that are mutual funds or are otherwise subject to regulations related to the timing of funding and the issuance of the related Shares). The arrangement for Omar Ishrak to serve as Lead INED (as defined below) and co-chair of the board of directors of Pubco following closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) shall not be deemed to provide more favorable or advantageous rights or obligations to Omar Ishrak, in his capacity as an Other Subscriber, than those provided to the Subscribers.
2
2. Conversion.
(a) If, at any time in the period commencing twelve (12) months following Closing and ending twenty-four (24) months following Closing (the “Conversion Period”):
(i) the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of the Common Stock of Pubco (the “Common Stock” and such price, the “Post-Combination Share Price”) is less than $7.04, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock (the “Effective PIPE Share Price”), for the average of twenty (20) trading days (the last of such twenty (20) trading days, the “Drop Measurement Date”) within any 30-trading day period (such event, a “Stock Price Drop”); and
(ii) the (A) absolute value of the percentage decrease of such Stock Price Drop measured from a reference price of $10.00 per share of the Common Stock, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock (the “Reference Share Price”), is greater than the (B) absolute value of the percentage decrease (if any) in the VWAP of iShares US Medical Devices ETF (NYSEARCA: IHI) (the “Index”) over the same time period from the Closing to the end of the Drop Measurement Date corresponding to such Stock Price Drop (for the avoidance of doubt, if, over the same time period from the Closing to the end of the Drop Measurement Date corresponding to such Stock Price Drop, the change in the VWAP of the Index is zero or the VWAP of the Index increases, then the value of the percentage decrease of the Index under clause (B) is zero);
then the Subscribers may, during the continuance of the Stock Price Drop and for a period of 90 days thereafter, elect to convert (an “Investment Conversion”) up to 50% (the “Convertible Percentage”) of the Purchase Price into an amount (the “Conversion Amount”) (valuing the forfeited Subscribed Shares at the Reference Share Price) of financing provided by the Subscribers to Allurion pursuant to a revenue interest financing agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Additional Revenue Interest Financing Agreement”), resulting in the forfeiture of a number of Subscribed Shares (any fraction of a share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of the Convertible Percentage that the Subscribers elected to have converted in such Investment Conversion and the Subscribed Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) in no event shall the Conversion Amount exceed $7,500,000 and (ii) the Subscribers shall only be entitled to elect an Investment Conversion with respect to Subscribed Shares then held by the Subscribers or any Permitted Transferee(s) (as defined below) at the time of delivery of the written election in accordance with Section 2(d) below (valuing the forfeited Subscribed Shares at the Reference Share Price).
3
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the VWAP measurement period commencing at the first anniversary of the Closing shall look at the Post-Combination Share Price commencing 30 trading days prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, such that a twelve (12)-month window for Investment Conversions results.
(c) For purposes of illustration only, if at 13 months following the Closing, (i) the average of the VWAPs of the Post-Combination Share Price over twenty (20) trading days is below $7.04 per share (e.g., has declined by 29.6% or more from the Reference Share Price of $10.00/share), and (ii) the Index has declined by less than 29.6% since the Closing, then the Subscribers may convert up to 50% of the Purchase Price, or up to $7.5 million worth of Subscribed Shares valued at $10.00 per share (or up to 750,000 Subscribed Shares), into financing provided by the Subscribers to Allurion under an Additional Revenue Interest Financing Agreement. If, for example, the Subscribers converted 26.67% of the Purchase Price, or $4 million worth of Subscribed Shares valued at $10.00 per share, then (x) the Subscribers would forfeit 400,000 Subscribed Shares and (y) the Subscribers and Allurion will enter into an Additional Revenue Interest Financing Agreement reflecting a financing of $4 million provided by the Subscribers to Allurion.
(d) In order to effectuate an Investment Conversion of Subscribed Shares pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Subscribers shall (i) submit a written election to Pubco that the Subscribers elect an Investment Conversion and such written election shall state the Convertible Percentage, the number of Subscribed Shares elected to be forfeited in connection with such Investment Conversion and the Conversion Amount and (ii) surrender, along with such written election, to Pubco the certificate or certificates representing the Subscribed Shares being forfeited (if such Subscribed Shares are certificated), duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to Pubco (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen, or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by such Subscriber. The Investment Conversion shall be deemed effective as of the date of surrender of such certificate or certificates representing such Subscribed Shares or delivery of such affidavit of loss.
(e) Upon the receipt by Pubco of a written election and the surrender of such certificate(s), if any, and accompanying materials, Pubco shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter (i) cause Allurion to execute and deliver an Additional Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, pursuant to which the Subscribers shall provide a financing amount equal to the Conversion Amount to Allurion, and, if applicable, (ii) deliver to each Subscriber a certificate in the name of such Subscriber (or its nominee or custodian in accordance with in the written election) for the number of shares of Subscribed Shares (including any fractional share) represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to Pubco for Investment Conversion but otherwise not elected to be converted pursuant to the written election or deliver such balance of Subscribed Shares in book entry form in the name of each Subscriber and a copy of the records of Pubco’s transfer agent showing such Subscriber as the registered holder of such balance of Subscribed Shares. All shares of capital stock issued hereunder by Pubco shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges, and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.
4
(f) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of Pubco, Allurion and the Subscribers shall use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and cooperate with each other in order to do, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2 at the earliest practicable date, including causing any amendments to the certificate of incorporation of Pubco or to the bylaws of Pubco to be effected.
(g) Pubco, Allurion and the Subscribers intend to treat the Investment Conversion, and the execution of the Additional Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, as described pursuant to Section 2(a) above as (i) a transaction governed by Section 302 of the Code and (ii) a transaction separate from the Royalty Financing Agreement. Pubco, Allurion and the Subscribers agree not to take and to not cause or permit their Affiliates (as defined in the Royalty Financing Agreement, “Affiliates”) to take, any position that is inconsistent with this Section 2(g) on any tax return or for any other tax purpose unless otherwise required by applicable law.
(h) Pubco shall use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and cooperate with the Subscribers in order to complete the preparation and finalization of Schedule 6.21, which Schedule 6.21 shall be consistent with the Methodology (each, as defined in, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.21 of, the Additional Revenue Interest Financing Agreement).
3. Share Adjustments.
(a) In addition to the Subscribed Shares issuable to the Subscribers pursuant to the Subscription Agreements as set forth on the signature page of each Subscription Agreement, at the Closing (as defined in the Subscription Agreements), following the CPUH Merger and immediately prior to or substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Intermediate Merger, Pubco shall issue to the Subscribers an aggregate amount of 250,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) for the consideration set forth in the Subscription Agreements, which Additional Shares shall be allocated among the Subscribers in the same proportion as the Subscribed Shares to be purchased by each Subscriber under the Subscription Agreements, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement.
(b) As soon as practicable following the CPUH Stockholders Meeting (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, the “CPUH Stockholders Meeting”), but in any event within one Business Day (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) after the CPUH Stockholders Meeting, the Company shall deliver a written notice (the “Adjustment Notice”) to the Subscribers setting forth:
(i) the amount of Available Closing Cash and Net Closing Cash (as such terms are defined in the Business Combination Agreement), giving effect to the CPUH Stockholder Redemption (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); and
(ii) the amount of Adjustment Shares and the Adjustment Percentage (as such terms are defined below).
5
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below:

(ii) “Adjustment Shares” means a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) 750,000, multiplied by (y) the Adjustment Percentage, rounded down to the nearest whole share, provided, that, in no event shall the Adjustment Shares exceed 750,000 shares of Common Stock.
(d) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, following the delivery of the Adjustment Notice by the Company to the Subscribers hereunder, at the Closing, following the CPUH Merger and immediately prior to or substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Intermediate Merger, Pubco shall issue to the Subscribers the Adjustment Shares, for the consideration set forth in the Subscription Agreements, which Adjustment Shares shall be allocated among the Subscribers in the same proportion as the Subscribed Shares to be purchased by each Subscriber under the Subscription Agreements, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement.

6
(g) Pubco shall deliver to the Subscribers (i) on the Closing Date, the Additional Shares and Adjustment Shares, if any, in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Agreement, the Subscription Agreements or applicable securities laws), in the name of each Subscriber (or its nominee or custodian in accordance with its delivery instructions), and (ii) as promptly as practicable after the Closing, evidence from Pubco’s transfer agent of the issuance to each Subscriber of the Additional Shares and Adjustment Shares, if any, on and as of the Closing Date.
