OF

Alphatec Holdings, Inc.

Warrant Shares: 1,327,434 |  | December 28, 2017

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Patrick S. Miles (the “Holder”), or its assigns, is entitled to purchase up to 1,327,434 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) of Alphatec Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) at an exercise price equal to $5.00 per Share (the “Exercise Price”), all on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitation as set forth herein.

I.
EXERCISE

Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time following June 28, 2018, in each case, by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company and a check for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased. Promptly after Holder exercises this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired, and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired shall be delivered to Holder. Subject to Article 4 and Section 5.2 below, the Company agrees that any Shares acquired by exercise of this Warrant in accordance with this Article 1 shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record holder of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which the Notice of Exercise shall have been delivered and payment made for the Exercise Price as aforesaid.

Net Issue via Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by delivering a check for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Article 1 hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Article 1 hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the applicable Notice of Exercise is delivered or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Article 1 hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Article 1 hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this provision.

“Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

The Holder may elect net issue via cashless exercise by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company which affirmatively sets forth Holder’s election to elect net issue via cashless exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the termination date, as set forth in Article 3, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Article 1.

II.

B.
Reclassification, Merger, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, merger, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, merger, exchange, substitution, or other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article

The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, mergers, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Shares, free of preemptive rights, such number of its duly authorized Shares, or other stock or securities deliverable pursuant to this Article 2, as shall be sufficient to enable the Company at any time to fulfill all of its obligations under this Warrant. The Company covenants that all Shares that may be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant, assuming full payment of the Exercise Price, shall upon delivery by the Company be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all stamp taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue or delivery thereof and otherwise free of all other security interests, encumbrances and claims of any nature whatsoever other than those created by Holder.
