7.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030
The undersigned investor (the “Investor”), for itself and on behalf of the beneficial owners listed on Exhibit A hereto (“Accounts”) for whom the Investor holds contractual and investment authority (each, including the Investor if it is a party selling Notes (as defined below), a “Holder”), hereby agrees to exchange for cash (the “Repurchase”), with PureCycle Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), certain 7.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, CUSIP 74623V AB9 and ISIN US74623VAB99 (the “Notes”) for the Repurchase Consideration (as defined below) pursuant to this repurchase agreement (this “Agreement”). The Holder understands that it is required to be an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), that is also a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture dated as of August 24, 2023 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). References in this Agreement to “Holder” shall refer to each Holder, individually, and, where the context requires, all of them collectively.
1. Repurchase. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Investor hereby agrees to exchange for itself and on behalf of the Holders, an aggregate principal amount of the Notes set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Repurchased Notes”) for:
(a) An amount of cash as set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Cash Payment”); and
(b) An amount of cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Holder’s Repurchased Notes from, and including, the most recent date on which interest thereon was paid, through but excluding, the Closing Date (together with the Cash Payment, the “Repurchase Consideration”).
The Investor agrees that it and any Holder shall not deliver a Notice of Conversion with respect to any Repurchased Notes and the Investor and each Holder shall hold the Repurchased Notes until the Closing (as defined below). In consideration for the performance of their obligations hereunder (including as described in the immediately preceding sentence), the Company agrees to deliver the Repurchase Consideration on the Closing Date (as defined below) to each Holder in exchange for its Repurchased Notes.
The Repurchase shall occur in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit B.2 hereto (the “Repurchase Procedures”); provided that no delivery of the Repurchase Consideration will be made until the Repurchased Notes have been properly submitted for exchange in accordance with the Repurchase Procedures and no accrued interest will be payable by reason of any delay in making such delivery. The closing of the Repurchase (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investor may mutually agree.

1
wire transfer to the account specified by the Investor for each relevant Holder in Exhibit B.1. All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity and acceptance of the Repurchased Notes will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the Closing, the Investor hereby, for itself and on behalf of its Accounts, (A) waives any and all other rights with respect to such Repurchased Notes and (B) releases and discharges the Company from any and all claims, actions, causes or rights, whether known or unknown, contingent or matured, that the Investor and its Accounts may now have, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to, such Repurchased Notes.

The Company is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business (where such concept exists) and is in good standing in every jurisdiction (where such concept exists) 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 would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations (including results thereof), or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Company has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the Repurchase contemplated hereby.
(b) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity (the “Enforceability Exceptions”).
(c) This Agreement and consummation of the Repurchase will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of or default under (i) the charter or bylaws of the Company, (ii) any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound, or (iii) assuming the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with the covenants of the Investor and each Holder herein, any laws, regulations or governmental or judicial decrees, injunctions or orders applicable to the Company, except in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii), where such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults are not material and would not, individually or in the aggregate materially impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with any court, arbitrator or governmental entity or regulatory authority is required on the part of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Repurchase, except as may be required under any state or federal securities laws or that may be made or obtained after the Closing without penalty or where such failure to obtain such consent is not material and would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2
(d) The Company agrees that it shall, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Trustee or transfer agent to be reasonably necessary to complete the Repurchase.

The Investor and each Holder has been offered the opportunity to ask such questions of the Company and its representatives and received answers thereto, as it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the Repurchase.
(k) Each Holder is an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

5
(q) The Investor and each Holder acknowledges and the Investor agrees that MS has not acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to the Investor or any Holder and that MS, its affiliates and its directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have no responsibility for making, and have not made, any independent investigation of the information contained herein or in the Company’s SEC Filings and make no representation or warranty to the Investor or any Holder, express or implied, with respect to the Company, the Repurchased Notes or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of the information provided to the Investor or any Holder or any other publicly available information, nor shall any of the foregoing persons be liable for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from the use of the information contained herein or otherwise supplied to the Investor or any Holder or in connection with the Repurchase.

(i) in the case of such a Holder that is the beneficial owner of the Repurchased Notes, (A) an accurately completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, from such Holder, establishing an exemption from Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code, and, if applicable, properly establishing an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding under the “interest” provision of a tax treaty with the United States, and, if such U.S. tax form does not otherwise establish a 0% U.S. withholding tax rate on the Repurchase Consideration paid or delivered to such Holder, (B) certification that the Holder fulfils the requirements of the “portfolio interest exemption” as set forth in Exhibit C; or
9
(ii) in the case of such a Holder that is not the beneficial owner of the Repurchased Notes, (A) an accurately completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8IMY from such Holder, accompanied by all required attachments, including one of the following forms from each partner/member of such Holder: (x) an accurately completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such partner/member is exempt from backup withholding, (y) an accurately completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption of such partner/member from Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code, and, if applicable, properly establishing an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding under the “interest” provision of a tax treaty with the United States, or (z) if such partner/member of the Holder is not the beneficial owner of the Repurchased Notes, an accurately completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8IMY from such partner/member, accompanied by all required attachments, including one of the foregoing from each of its partners/members as the beneficial owners of the Repurchased Notes, and, if any such U.S. tax forms do not otherwise establish a 0% U.S. withholding tax rate on the Repurchase Consideration paid or delivered to such Holder, (B) certification that the Holder and each partner/member that is a beneficial owner of the Repurchased Notes fulfil the requirements of the “portfolio interest exemption” as set forth in Exhibit C.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Holder hereby represents that it is able to receive any Repurchase Consideration hereunder (including any amounts or entitlements attributable to accrued and unpaid interest) without any U.S. withholding tax and is entitled to provide the U.S. tax forms and required attachments indicating the same, and, where relevant, makes the certifications set forth in Exhibit C that the Holder and any partner/member thereof fulfil the requirements of the “portfolio interest exemption”, and agrees to hold the Company and its agents harmless for the breach of such representation.
21. Any forms, certificates and other documents required to be delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 20 shall be delivered to the Company at or prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 12.
22. Section and Other Headings. The section and other headings contained in Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
