This Agreement constitutes the lawful, valid and legally binding obligation of Clarus, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

(d)Governmental Consents and Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Clarus do not require any Governmental Approval which has not already been obtained, effected or provided, except with respect to which the failure to so obtain, effect or provide would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Clarus.

Galera has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance by Galera of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action required on the part of Galera, and no other proceedings on the part of Galera are necessary to authorize this Agreement or for Galera to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement constitutes the lawful, valid and legally binding obligation of Galera, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

(iii)No Violation or Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby do not (A) violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any provision of the Organizational Documents of Galera, (B) conflict with or violate any law or Governmental Order applicable to Galera or any of its assets, properties or businesses, or (C) conflict with, result in any breach of, constitute a default (or event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a default) under, require any consent under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, suspension, revocation or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance on any of the assets or properties of Galera, pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage or indenture, contract, agreement, lease, sublease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or arrangement to which Galera is a party except, in the case of clause (C), to the extent that such conflicts, breaches, defaults or other matters would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Galera.

(iv)Governmental Consents and Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Galera do not require any Governmental Approval which has not already been obtained, effected or provided, except with respect to which the failure to so obtain, effect or provide would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Galera.

(v)Litigation. There are no material actions by or against Galera pending before any Governmental Authority or, to the knowledge of Galera, threatened to be brought by or before any Governmental Authority. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Galera, threatened actions, to which Galera is a party (or threatened to be named as a party) to set aside, restrain, enjoin or prevent the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the Royalty Agreement, as amended, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by any party hereto or thereto. Galera is not subject to any material Governmental Order (nor, to the knowledge of Galera, is there any such material Governmental Order threatened to be imposed by any Governmental Authority).

Except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Documents, Galera is in material compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq for continued listing of the Common Stock thereon and any other Nasdaq listing and maintenance requirements.

(viii)No Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Documents, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the SEC Documents there has not occurred any Material Adverse Effect, or any development that would result in a prospective Material Adverse Effect, in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, or in or affecting the revenues, business, assets, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity, operations or results of operations or prospects of Galera.

(ix)Registration Rights. Except as described in the SEC Documents, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between Galera and any person granting such person the right to require Galera to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of Galera or to require Galera to include such securities with the Warrant Shares registered pursuant to a Registration Statement other than rights that have been validly waived.

(x)SEC Documents. Galera has timely filed the SEC Documents required to be filed by it with the SEC since November 6, 2019, pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(xi)Commission Agreements. Galera is not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person that would give rise to a valid claim against Galera or Clarus for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with any transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(xii)Acknowledgment Regarding Clarus Purchase of Warrants. Galera acknowledges and agrees that Clarus is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Galera further acknowledges that Clarus is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of Galera (or in any similar capacity with respect to Galera) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by Clarus or any of their respective representatives or agents to Galera in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to Clarus’s purchase of the Warrants. Galera further represents and warrants that Galera’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Galera and its representatives.

(b)Galera covenants and agrees with Clarus as follows:

(i)Reservation of Warrant Shares. So long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, Galera shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon exercise in accordance with the Warrants, the Common Stock delivered thereby will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of the Common Stock.

(ii)Listing Notice. Promptly following the date hereof, Galera shall prepare and file the applicable listing of additional shares notification with The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares to be approved for listing on The Nasdaq Global Market as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the New Milestone Closing. Thereafter, Galera shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable under the terms of the Warrants.

Article IV

REGISTRATION

Section 4.01Piggy-Back Registration. If Galera proposes to file a “shelf registration statement” or similar registration statement covering the resale of shares of Common Stock for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (including, for this purpose, a Registration Statement by Galera for stockholders other than the Holders), Galera shall, at such time, promptly give the Holders notice of such registration. Upon the request of a Holder given within [***] after such notice is given by Galera, Galera shall cause to be registered all of the Warrant Shares that such Holder has requested to be included in such Registration Statement, provided, that, in no event shall Galera cause to be registered any Warrant Shares if the inclusion of such Warrant Shares would reduce the number of securities being registered in such Registration Statement pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement. In the event a Holder elects to include Warrant Shares in such Registration Statement, such Holder shall furnish to Galera such information regarding itself, the Warrant Shares and others securities of Galera held by it, and the intended method of disposition of the Warrant Shares as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Warrant Shares. Galera shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration Statement initiated by it under this Section 4.01 before the effective date of such Registration Statement, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Warrant Shares in such Registration Statement, for any reason, or no

reason at all. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights with respect to registration granted hereunder are not intended to provide rights to any Holder in connection with an underwritten offering of the Common Stock of Galera.

Section 4.02Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Article IV, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; and fees and disbursements of counsel for Galera, shall be borne and paid by Galera. All Selling Expenses relating to Warrant Shares registered pursuant to this Article IV shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Warrant Shares registered on their behalf.

Section 4.03Use of Registration Statement. Upon receiving notice from Galera of any of the following events, each Holder shall suspend the use of any Registration Statement or related prospectus until Galera provides notice that the Registration Statement or related prospectus may again be used:

(a)of the receipt by Galera of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Warrant Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Action for such purpose;

(b)of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, related prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the related prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

(c)of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to Galera that Galera believes may be material and that, in the determination of Galera, makes it not in the best interest of Galera to allow continued availability of the Registration Statement or related prospectus, provided, however, in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding Galera or any of its subsidiaries.

Section 4.04Indemnification. If any Warrant Shares are included in a registration statement under this Article IV:

(a)To the extent permitted by law, Galera will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, trustees and stockholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and Galera will pay to each such Holder, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.04 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of Galera, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall Galera be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

(b)To the extent permitted by law, each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless Galera, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls Galera within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for Galera, any other Person selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such other Person, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay to Galera and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.04(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under this Section 4.04(b) and Section 4.04(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.04 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4.04, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4.04, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.04.

(d)To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.04 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 4.04 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4.04, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified

party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 4.04(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 4.04(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

(e)The obligations of Galera and Holders under this Section 4.04 shall survive the completion of any offering of Warrant Shares in a registration under this Article IV, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.05Wavier. The rights of any Holder under this Article IV may be waived (either generally or in a particular instances, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended in writing signed by the Holders of a majority of the Warrant Shares (which for this purpose, assumes the exercise of any applicable Warrant on a cash exercise basis).

Section 4.06Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell Warrant Shares without registration, Galera shall, so long as a Holder still holds Warrants or Warrant Shares:

(a)make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, to the extent that adequate public information is required under SEC Rule 144 for the sale of the Warrant Shares;

(b)use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Galera under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c)furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Warrant Shares, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by Galera that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act; (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Galera and such other reports and documents so filed by Galera; and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration.

Article V
