CONSULTING AGREEMENT 

This Consulting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Mohawk Group, Inc. (“Service
Recipient”), and Richard A. Perry (referred to herein as “Consultant”) dated as of February 2, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). 

1. Consulting Relationship. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will provide the consulting services (the
“Services”) to Service Recipient described on Exhibit A to this Agreement, unless Service Recipient chooses to not require any of the Services, until full performance of the Services pursuant to the terms hereof. Consultant
shall use Consultant’s commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Service Recipient. 

2. Fees. As consideration for the Services to be provided by Consultant and subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
Service Recipient shall pay to Consultant the amounts specified in Exhibit B attached to this Agreement at the times and in the manner specified therein (the “Fees”). 

3. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, Service Recipient will reimburse Consultant for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Consultant for travel and other reasonable expenditures directly related to the Services in accordance with Service
Recipient’s expense reimbursement policies for consultants, subject to Consultant’s provision of documentation of the expenses reasonably satisfactory to Service Recipient and, in the case of a single expense or a group of related expenses
that are individually or in the aggregate in excess of $2,000, advance written notice of a request for reimbursement pre-approved by Service Recipient. 

4. Trade Secrets; Intellectual Property Rights. 

(a) Proprietary Information. Consultant agrees during the term of this Agreement and thereafter that it will take all steps
reasonably necessary to hold the Service Recipient’s and its subsidiaries’ (collectively, “Company Group”) Proprietary Information (defined below) in trust and confidence, will not use Proprietary Information in any manner
or for any purpose not expressly set forth in this Agreement, and will not disclose any such Proprietary Information to any third party without first obtaining Service Recipient’s express written consent on a case-by-case basis. “Proprietary Information” means all Work Product as defined in Section 4(c) below and all information disclosed by Company Group to Consultant
not generally known in the industry and includes, without limitation, (i) trademarks, trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, software, artwork other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, processes and manufacturing techniques (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Inventions”); and (ii) information regarding plans
for investment, acquisitions, research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (iii) information regarding the
skills and compensation of employees of the Company Group. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, nothing received by Consultant will be considered to be Proprietary Information if (A) it has been published or is otherwise
readily available to the public other than by a breach of this Agreement; (B) it has been rightfully received by Consultant from a third party without confidential limitations; (C) it has been independently developed for Consultant by
personnel or agents without use of the Proprietary Information; or (D) it was known to Consultant prior to its first receipt from the Company Group (as defined in Section 7 below). For the avoidance of doubt, the
duties under this Section 4(a) shall continue indefinitely unless such duties are expressly terminated by the Company Group. 

(b) Third Party Information. Consultant understands that the Company Group has received and will in the future receive from
third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company Group’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such 

 
information and use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees to hold Third Party Information in confidence and not to disclose to anyone (other than Company Group personnel who
need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company Group) or to use, except in connection with Consultant’s work for Service Recipient, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized in writing by an officer of
Service Recipient. Furthermore, Consultant represents and warrants that this consulting engagement for Service Recipient does not and would not breach any agreements or duties to any other third party. In Consultant’s work for Service
Recipient, Consultant will be expected not to violate any lawful restrictive covenants or make any unauthorized use or disclosure to Service Recipient or any other entity of any confidential information, including trade secrets, of any other party
to whom Consultant may have an obligation of confidentiality. 
 (c) Ownership of Work Product. As used in this Agreement, the
term “Work Product” means any deliverables of Consultant made to Service Recipient, and any Invention, whether or not patentable, which is solely or jointly conceived, made, or reduced to practice, by Consultant in the course of any work
performed for Service Recipient. Consultant agrees that any and all Inventions conceived, made, or first reduced to practice in the performance of work under this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive property of Service Recipient. 

(d) Assignment of the Work Product. Consultant irrevocably assigns to Service Recipient all right, title and interest worldwide
in and to Work Product and all applicable intellectual property rights related to the Work Product, including without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, moral rights, contract and licensing rights. Consultant agrees not to
challenge the validity of Service Recipient’s ownership in the Work Product, and Consultant agrees to take all reasonable steps requested by Service Recipient at Service Recipient’s expense to perfect its ownership rights in the Work
Product. If Consultant has any rights to the Work Product that cannot be assigned to Service Recipient, Consultant unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights. 

(f) Defend Trade Secrets Act Limitations. Notwithstanding Consultant’s confidentiality obligations set forth above,
Consultant understands that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Consultant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made
(A) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a
complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Consultant understands that in the event it is determined that disclosure of trade secrets was not done in good faith pursuant to the preceding
sentence, Consultant will be subject to substantial damages, including punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. 
 5. Term and
Termination. Performance of the Services shall commence on the Closing Date (as defined in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement by and between Mohawk Group Holdings, Inc., Truweo, LLC, Healing Solutions, LLC, Jason R. Hope, and Super

why the Services are unable to be performed within 10 days of receipt of such written notice (in either case the term shall not end), or (d) upon 30 days’ written notice from Consultant (provided, however, that upon receipt
of such notice from Consultant, Service Recipient may accelerate the termination date). Service Recipient or Consultant may also terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach of this Agreement subject to written notice and an
opportunity to cure if curable within 10 days by the other party; provided that if Consultant terminates this Agreement due to Service Recipient’s material breach, nothing herein shall preclude Consultant’s right to payment of any

over-the-counter market.

consent, either directly or indirectly, solicit any employee, contractor, or consultant of the Company Group to terminate his, her, or its relationship with the Company Group. 

9. Non-Interference. Service Recipient agrees that it shall not unreasonably interfere

Purchase Agreement) ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding such sale, transfer or other disposition. From and after the date on which any shares of Parent Common
