3.2.    [Reserved].

LA_LAN01:362977.13



3.3.    Dilution; Preemptive Rights; Ratchet Protection.
(a)    Dilution.
(i)    Other than dilution pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan pursuant to Section 3.4(c) (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not dilute or affect the right of the Convertible Preferred Interest to receive its full Liquidation Preference), until the earliest of (x) the Conversion, (y) the exercise of the CFIUS Redemption Right and the corresponding redemption of the Convertible Preferred Interest or (z) such time that the Regulatory Decision Period has expired and CFIUS Approval has not been obtained and DCMH does not exercise the CFIUS Redemption Right within the exercise period therefor, the Interests of the Wafra Management Subscribers will not be subject to direct or indirect dilution, and thereafter the Ownership Interests of the Wafra Management Subscribers will be subject to pro rata dilution only for issuances of New Company Securities for cash by the Digital Colony Management Parties to any Third-Party Purchaser alongside the other equityholders of each such Digital Colony Management Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, alongside Colony Capital) in the case of business combinations, acquisitions, third-party capital raises, strategic partnerships and/or joint ventures, and subject, to the extent applicable, to any other preemptive, tag-along or other similar rights of the Wafra Management Subscriber. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in this Section 3.3(a) and subject to the procedures set forth in Section 3.3(b), in no event shall any Wafra Entity’s Ownership Interests, directly or indirectly, be diluted without Wafra Consent.
(ii)    Other than pursuant to the terms of the A&R DCMH Agreement and the Management Incentive Plan, no redemption or repurchase of equity of a Digital Colony Management Party shall be permitted without Wafra Consent, unless such redemption or repurchase would not be dilutive of the Wafra Entities’ Ownership Interests, the Wafra Entities do not bear any portion of the redemption or repurchase proceeds used to effect such redemption or repurchase and the Wafra Entities do not otherwise bear any expense in respect thereto. To the extent any dilution permitted pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) is reversed in any manner, the applicable Interests of the Wafra Entities shall accrete but only to the extent of such prior dilution of the Interests.
(b)    Preemptive Rights on New Issuances.
(i)    New Issuances. If at any time any Digital Colony Management Party proposes to issue New Company Securities in exchange for cash, each Wafra Management Subscriber shall have the right to purchase such New Company Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.3(b).
(ii)    Notice of New Company Securities. The Digital Colony Representative shall deliver to each Wafra Management Subscriber a written notice of any proposed issuance of New Company Securities (the “Issue Notice”), describing (i) the type of New Company Securities, (ii) the amount of New Company Securities proposed to be issued, (iii) the per security price of such New Company Securities (the “Issue Price”), and (iv) the general terms upon which the applicable Digital Colony Management Party proposes

18

LA_LAN01:362977.13



to issue the same at least thirty five (35) days prior to the closing of the proposed sale of such New Company Securities.
(iii)    Preemptive Right. At any time following receipt of the Issue Notice until five (5) days prior to the closing date of the proposed sale as set forth in the Issue Notice (such period of time, the “Election Period”) after receipt of the Issue Notice, each Wafra Management Subscriber may, by giving written notice to the Digital Colony Representative, elect to purchase that number of New Company Securities proposed to be issued equal to (x) the total number of New Company Securities so proposed to be issued multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ownership Interests held by such Wafra Management Subscriber on an as-converted basis and the denominator of which is the total number of Ownership Interests held by all equityholders in the applicable Digital Colony Management Party, at the Issue Price and on the terms set forth in the Issue Notice (such number with respect to such Wafra Management Subscriber, its “Pro Rata Portion”). Prior to the Conversion, any calculation of the Ownership Interests held by the Wafra Management Subscribers shall be determined on as-converted basis assuming that the Convertible Preferred Interests held by the Wafra Management Subscriber have been converted into the Specified Percentage of the total outstanding Interests of the applicable Digital Colony Management Party.
(iv)    Purchase Price. The purchase price for the New Company Securities purchased by a Wafra Management Subscriber under this Section 3.3(b) shall be an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Issue Price multiplied by its Pro Rata Portion of the proposed issuance.
(v)    Payment. Payment of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(iv) shall be made by the Wafra Management Subscriber paying such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Digital Colony Representative, at the same times and in the same manner as the other participants in the applicable issuance.
(vi)    Company’s Right to Issue. In the event the Digital Colony Representative delivers the Issue Notice described in Section 3.3(b)(ii) and no Wafra Management Subscriber has elected to exercise its rights set forth in Section 3.3(b)(iii) within the Election Period, the Digital Colony Management Party proposing to issue New Company Securities pursuant to such Issue Notice will have one hundred twenty (120) days from the end of the Election Period to sell all such New Company Securities at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than the price and terms specified in the Issue Notice. In the event such Digital Colony Management Party has not sold all such New Company Securities within said one hundred twenty (120) day period, then such Digital Colony Management Party will not thereafter issue or sell any New Company Securities without first offering such New Company Securities to each Wafra Management Subscriber in the manner provided herein.
(vii)    Each Wafra Management Subscriber and each Colony Party shall cooperate in good faith to effect such transaction in such a manner so as to minimize any adverse legal, regulatory or tax consequences to such Wafra Management Subscriber

19

LA_LAN01:362977.13



and such Digital Colony Management Party and to minimize the Parties’ obligations to obtain any consents from a third party or Governmental Authority.
(viii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a reasonable business need makes it impracticable to provide the Wafra Management Subscribers notice and implement the procedures required to be implemented hereunder in accordance with this Section 3.3(b), the Digital Colony Management Parties may issue and sell New Company Securities without first complying with the terms of this Section 3.3(b) as such business need and impracticability is determined by the Board; provided, that as promptly as reasonably practicable (and no later than thirty (30) days following such issuance or sale) (i) the purchasers of such New Company Securities shall offer to sell to each applicable Wafra Management Subscriber the portion of such purchased New Company Securities that equals such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Pro Rata Portion of such New Company Securities or (ii) the Digital Colony Management Parties shall offer to issue an incremental amount of New Company Securities to each Wafra Management Subscriber sufficient to constitute such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Pro Rata Portion of such New Company Securities had the Digital Colony Management Parties complied with this Section 3.3(b), in each case, at a purchase price no more, and on terms no less, favorable to such Wafra Management Subscribers than those applicable to such purchasers, using a process substantially similar to that set forth in this Section 3.3(b); provided, further, that any such New Company Securities issued or sold to a Wafra Management Subscriber pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(viii) shall entitle such Wafra Management Subscribers to retroactively receive the economics with respect to such New Company Securities accruing from and after the date of the initial issuance.
(c)    Anti-Dilution Protection. Without limitation of the provisions set forth in Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b), until July 17, 2022, each Wafra Management Subscriber’s Ownership Interest will be subject to anti-dilution protection on a full ratchet basis in connection with any issuances or secondary sales of Ownership Interests to any Third-Party Purchaser at a lower valuation than the implied valuation of such Ownership Interests as of the date of this Agreement as a result of the completion of the Contemplated Transactions, and the applicable Digital Colony Management Party shall take, and CCOC shall cause such Digital Colony Management Party to take, any action to afford such protection, including by way of example, (i) refunding in cash to such Wafra Management Subscriber the difference between the total price directly or indirectly paid by such Wafra Management Subscriber for its Ownership Interests and the total price paid by such third party (calculated as if such third party had purchased such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Ownership Interests for such price and taking into account such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Specified Percentage of the Ownership Interests) for the purchase by it of equity interests in the applicable Digital Colony Management Party, or (ii) equitably increasing such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Specified Percentages as if such Wafra Management Subscriber had purchased additional Ownership Interests at such lower valuation.
3.4.    Wafra Economic Rights.
(a)    Structure.

21

LA_LAN01:362977.13



adjustments set forth in the definition of Available Cash) that are identical to the rights, preferences and privileges that the Wafra Entities would have with respect to distributions of Available Cash by DCMH if any aspect of the Digital Colony Business were conducted through the Digital Colony Management Parties, except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Section 3.4(a).
(iii)    Subject to the following sentence, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Colony Capital and CCOC shall be permitted, if required due to legal, tax or regulatory reasons, to conduct any part of the Digital Colony Business that generates Fee Revenue and Balance Sheet Management Proceeds outside of the Digital Colony Management Parties with the Wafra Representative’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless such conduct would be adverse to the Wafra Entities in which case such consent shall be in the Wafra Entities’ sole discretion (it being understood and agreed that, from and after the Closing Date until the completion of the Post-Closing Restructuring, Colony Capital and CCOC shall be permitted to conduct the operations of the DCMH UK Advisers Entities through CCDH and CDCM so long as no Available Cash from the DCMH UK Adviser Entities is distributed during such time).

(b)    To the extent that any Managing Director is terminated without Cause or otherwise terminates his employment with the Colony Capital Group with Good Reason, and within two (2) years of such termination, any member of the Colony Capital Group participates in a Competing Business of such Managing Director, then the Wafra Management Subscribers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such Competing Business and shall be entitled to their Specified Percentage (for this purpose, assuming that the Conversion has occurred) of the total NFRE and Balance Sheet Management Proceeds from such Competing Business and the Competing Business Rights, with such participation calculated in a manner consistent with the definition of Available Cash. The participation right set forth in this Section 3.4(b) shall be subject to the Wafra Management Subscribers bearing their pro rata share of all costs associated therewith and making any applicable portion of capital commitments as if such Competing Business were a Digital Colony Fund, with such portion to be ratably adjusted based on the applicable percentage of economic entitlements held by each participant in such Competing Business.
(c)    Reasonably promptly following the Closing, DCMH and the Wafra Management Subscriber may establish the Management Incentive Plan and thereafter, the Management Incentive Plan may not be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated without the prior written consent of the Wafra Representative.

Management Party and CCOC shall cooperate as reasonably necessary, execute and deliver such agreements and instruments, provide such reasonable support and assistance by providing Confidential Information to any potential Transferee as would customarily be made available to a potential buyer in a sale of a minority position (i.e., consistent with the level and type of information provided to the Wafra Entities in connection with the Contemplated Transactions) or to an underwriter in a Wafra IPO, including documents and reasonable opportunities to ask questions of key executives as customarily provided in connection with a “due diligence” investigation as a Wafra Management Subscriber may reasonably request in connection with any Transfer (or potential Transfer) of its right to any of its Ownership Interest or in connection with a Wafra IPO (or potential Wafra IPO); provided, that if requested by such Digital Colony Management Party or CCOC, any such potential Transferee shall execute a customary confidentiality agreement in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Digital Colony Representative. DCMH shall make customary knowledge qualified representations and warranties to the Wafra Management Subscribers (without any indemnification obligations in respect thereof) to allow the Wafra Management Subscribers to make representations and warranties related to any Digital Colony Management Parties in connection with any such Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements to the contrary, the Wafra Entities shall be free to consummate a Wafra IPO in accordance with Section 4.1(a) at any time; provided, that any disclosure in connection with such Wafra IPO shall not (a) specifically or separately identify or present any financial information regarding the Digital Colony Companies, the Digital Colony Funds or any Portfolio Companies or any stakeholders of any of the foregoing in any public filings relating to such Wafra IPO unless presented on an aggregate basis with all other companies in which the Digital Colony Companies, the Digital Colony Funds or any Portfolio Companies invest such that the identity of such Persons, as applicable, could not be reasonably deduced therefrom or (b) require the filing of any Ancillary Agreement not already publicly disclosed (clauses (a) and (b), the “Non-Aggregated Information”). Following such Wafra IPO, the Non-Aggregated Information shall not be disclosed unless required by applicable Law or with the prior written consent of the Digital Colony Representative. In connection with any such Wafra IPO, DCMH shall cause each of the Digital Colony Companies to provide reasonable cooperation, support, assistance and information (to the extent reasonably available, the disclosure of which would not violate any Law or any agreement to which any Digital Colony Company, any Digital Colony Fund or any of their Affiliates is subject, or if any other action required or requested by a regulatory authority would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect in any material respect on Colony Capital Group, the Digital Colony Companies or any of their respective Affiliates) to the applicable Wafra Entities, at such Wafra Entities’ expense for any reasonable out-of-pocket expense, to the extent that such Wafra Entities’ counsel advises is required in connection with such Wafra IPO. The Wafra Representative shall consult with the Digital Colony Management Parties in good faith regarding, and provide the Digital Colony Management Parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, the form of any disclosure regarding the Digital Colony Companies, the Digital Colony Funds, the Portfolio Companies or any stakeholders thereof in connection with or following an Wafra IPO. The obligations of the Digital Colony Management Parties and CCOC pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall not require the Digital Colony Companies to agree to a restructuring, any regulatory remedies or any other action required or requested by a Governmental Authority that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect in any material respect on the Digital Colony Companies or the Colony Capital Group in connection with regulatory approvals related to any such Transfer.

(c)    Conditions to Transfers. It shall be a condition of the Transfer of any Ownership Interests (i) to any Person, that such Transfer shall not be effected if such Transfer would violate applicable Law or would cause DCMH to become a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, and (ii) to any Person who is not a party to this Agreement, that such Person sign a Joinder Agreement binding such Person to the provisions of this Agreement.
(d)    Right of First Offer. In the event that any Wafra Management Subscriber (the “Offering Wafra Management Subscriber”) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of the Ownership Interests owned by it to any third party purchaser pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i), the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber shall first make an offering of such Ownership Interests to CCOC (together with any Controlled Affiliates of CCOC that CCOC designates to exercise its rights under this Section 4.1(d), the “Offered Party”) in accordance with the following:
(i)    The Offering Wafra Management Subscriber shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Offered Party, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Ownership Interests, (ii) a description and the number of such Ownership Interests to be offered (the “Offered Interests”), and (iii) the price and any material terms and conditions upon which it proposes to offer such Offered Interests, including a list of proposed Transferees, it being agreed that for so long as the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber may sell the Offered Interests to a Transferee without again complying with the right of first offer set forth herein, the Digital Colony Companies will be prohibited from issuing or selling Ownership Interests to any proposed Transferees notified to CCOC.
(ii)    By written notification (the “Acceptance Notice”) to the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber, within thirty (30) days after the Offer Notice is received, the Offered Party may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, all of the Offered Interests proposed to be Transferred by the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber. If the Offered Party does not deliver an Acceptance Notice within thirty (30) days after the Offer Notice is received, the Offered Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to participate in the right of first offer described in this Section 4.1(d) and the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber may Transfer the Offered Interests in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1(d)(iii). Upon the timely delivery of an Acceptance Notice by the Offered Party pursuant to this Section 4.1(d)(ii), the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber and the Offered Party shall be legally obligated to consummate the sale contemplated thereby within thirty (30) days of the date of the Acceptance Notice (as it may be extended by up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days as necessary for the expiration of regulatory waiting periods and to obtain regulatory approvals); provided, further, that the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber shall only be required to give customary representations and warranties with respect to such Wafra Management Subscriber’s due organization, authority to enter into applicable Transfer documentation, non-contravention of applicable Laws and material agreements or required approvals of any Governmental Authority (in respect of which a Wafra Entity is a party), and free and clear title of the relevant Ownership Interests.
(iii)    If the Offered Interests referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 4.1(d)(ii), the Offering Wafra

25

LA_LAN01:362977.13



Management Subscriber may, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period provided in Section 4.1(d)(ii), offer and sell such Offered Interests to any third party at a price not less than 100% of, and upon other terms not materially more favorable to the offeree taken as a whole than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber does not consummate the sale of the Offered Interests within such period (as it may be extended by up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days as necessary for the expiration of regulatory waiting periods and to obtain regulatory approvals), the right of first offer provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Offered Interests shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Offered Parties in accordance with this Section 4.1(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at least fourteen (14) days (the “Sale Notice Period”) prior to the desired consummation date of a proposed Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.1(d)(iii), the Wafra Representative shall deliver a notice to CCOC which shall, to the extent not included in or accompanying the Offer Notice relating to such proposed Transfer (i) identify the cash purchase price at which the proposed Transfer is proposed to be made, (ii) identify the prospective Transferee, (iii) identify the proposed signing date and the proposed closing date of such prospective Transfer, (iv) be accompanied by the substantially final proposed purchase agreement and forms of all other agreements (to the extent available) to be entered into by the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber in connection with such Transfer and (v) identify all other material terms and conditions of such Transfer (including with respect to the timing of the payment of the purchase price) (any notice delivered pursuant to this Section 4.1(d)(iii), a “Sale Notice”). If the prospective Transferee is an Unapproved Third Party, the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber shall not consummate such proposed Transfer without Digital Colony Consent.
4.2.    Tag-Along Rights.
(a)    Tag-Along Sale. In the event of a Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer or a Drag-Along Sale) of Ownership Interests (the “Tag-Along Interests”) by any member of the Colony Capital Group, or by any other holders of Ownership Interests other than Wafra Entities, together with their Affiliates and/or Related Persons (to the extent such holders of Ownership Interests, Affiliates and/or Related Persons collectively own 10% or more of the total Ownership Interests outstanding, in the aggregate, at the time of such first Transfer (but without giving effect to such Transfer)) (a “Tag-Along Seller”) to a Third-Party Purchaser (a “Purchaser”), then each Tag-Along Seller shall be required to, and CCOC shall cause (or, with respect to each Tag-Along Seller that is not a Controlled Affiliate of CCOC, take all actions within its control to cause) each Tag-Along Seller to, provide the Wafra Management Subscribers and the Wafra Representative with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (or, if the Conversion has not occurred at such time, forty five (45) days’ prior written notice) of such Transfer (the “Tag-Along Notice”), which notice shall identify the Purchaser, the percentage of the Ownership Interests proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller, the applicable percentage of the then-issued Ownership Interests of the applicable Digital Colony Management Parties that such proposed Transfer represents, a statement as to whether DCMH and CCOC would otherwise be required to issue a Drag-Along Notice under Section 4.3(a), the purchase price therefor, and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. To the extent not previously provided, each Tag-Along Seller shall provide the Wafra Representative, on behalf of the Wafra Management Subscribers, with all material information made available to the Purchaser in connection with the proposed Transfer and any other information reasonably requested by the Wafra Representative to the extent available. Within thirty

26

LA_LAN01:362977.13



(30) days following receipt of such Tag-Along Notice, the Wafra Management Subscribers that hold Ownership Interests may elect, by providing a written offer to the Tag-Along Sellers and the Purchaser, to Transfer to the Purchaser the Ownership Interests specified therein, up to that percentage of the Ownership Interests of such Wafra Management Subscribers (the “Tagging Interest”) equal to the percentage of the Ownership Interests of the applicable Digital Colony Management Parties held by the Tag-Along Sellers that is proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Sellers, subject to Section 4.6 and Section 4.7, at the same price per Ownership Interest and otherwise on the same terms as those being offered to the Tag-Along Seller (any such Transfer, a “Tag-Along Sale”). Subject to Section 4.5, such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) shall execute all appropriate documents reasonably necessary to Transfer ownership of such Tagging Interest to the Purchaser. Failure by a Wafra Management Subscriber to respond in writing within such thirty (30)-day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of its tag-along rights under this Section 4.2(a) with respect to such Transfer but only to the extent the Tag-Along Seller is not again required to comply with this Section 4.2 in connection with a Transfer. If the Wafra Management Subscribers waive their tag-along rights under this Section 4.2(a), the Tag-Along Sellers shall have the right to consummate such Transfer free of such rights; provided, that (x) such Transfer is fully closed and consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period (as it may be extended by up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days as necessary for the expiration of regulatory waiting periods and to obtain regulatory approvals), and (y) the terms of the actual Transfer are no more favorable as to price, and no more materially favorable as to the other terms taken as a whole to the Tag-Along Sellers, than those set forth in the Tag-Along Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Wafra Management Subscriber elects to Transfer its Tagging Interest as provided herein, the proposed Transfer of Tag-Along Interests by the Tag-Along Seller to the Purchaser shall not be permitted hereunder and any such purported Transfer shall not be valid (and thus shall not have any force or effect) unless the Purchaser accepts and purchases all of the Tagging Interests tendered by the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) in connection with such proposed Transfer; provided, that, in the event that the Purchaser elects to acquire less than the full amount of both the Tag-Along Interests and the Tagging Interests, the amount of Tag-Along Interests and Tagging Interests being sold to such Purchaser shall be cut back such that the Tag-Along Seller shall be permitted to sell an amount of Tag-Along Interests that represents the same percentage of the Tag-Along Seller’s total Ownership Interests in the applicable Digital Colony Management Parties as the amount of the Tagging Interest that the Wafra Management Subscribers are selling to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, there shall be no liability on the part of Colony Capital or any of its Affiliates to any Wafra Management Subscriber if a proposed Transfer of Ownership Interests pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) is not consummated for any reason, except as otherwise set forth in the definitive documentation related thereto.
(b)    Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Sellers shall each pay their respective pro rata share (based on aggregate proceeds to be received in connection with such Transfer by the applicable Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Seller(s)) of the aggregate expenses incurred by all of the applicable Wafra Entities and Tag-Along Seller(s) in connection with any proposed sale or Transfer of the nature referred to in this Section 4.2.

27

LA_LAN01:362977.13



4.3.    Drag-Along Rights.
(a)    Drag-Along Sale. If the Persons holding Ownership Interests in DCMH representing (i) 50% or more of the voting power of all such outstanding Ownership Interests, in the aggregate, and (ii) the entitlement to receive 50% or more of all distributions, individually or in the aggregate (the “Drag-Along Sellers”) desire to Transfer to any Purchaser, Ownership Interests in DCMH representing (1) 50% or more of the voting power of all such outstanding Ownership Interests, in the aggregate, and (2) the entitlement to receive 50% or more of all distributions, whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions (any such transaction or series of related transactions, a “Drag-Along Sale”), then DCMH and CCOC shall or shall cause the Drag-Along Sellers to give thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Wafra Representative of the Drag-Along Sale (a “Drag-Along Notice”) which notice shall identify the Purchaser, the percentage of its Ownership Interests proposed to be Transferred in the Drag-Along Sale, the applicable percentage of the then-issued Ownership Interests that such proposed Transfer represents and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Drag-Along Sale.  To the extent not previously provided, each Drag-Along Seller shall make available to the Wafra Management Subscribers all material information made available to the Purchaser in connection with the Drag-Along Sale and any other information reasonably requested by the Wafra Representative to the extent available, and (subject to the Wafra Management Subscribers’ rights under Section 4.4, Section 4.6 and Section 4.7) require the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) holding Ownership Interests to sell to the Purchaser at the same price per Ownership Interest and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as those being offered to the Drag-Along Sellers (except as set forth in Section 4.4) that percentage of their Ownership Interests (the “Wafra Dragged Interests”) either (x) as is equal to the percentage of the then issued Ownership Interests proposed to be sold by the Drag-Along Sellers or (y) as is equal to 100% of the Ownership Interests owned by the Wafra Management Subscribers, at the option of DCMH.
(b)    Wafra Dragged Interests. Following receipt of a Drag-Along Notice, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) holding Ownership Interests shall be obligated to sell to the Purchaser the Wafra Dragged Interests at the same time as the Drag-Along Sellers to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) shall only be required to Transfer the Wafra Dragged Interests in the event that the Purchaser accepts and purchases all of the Wafra Dragged Interests required by the terms of this Agreement to be acquired by the Purchaser in connection with such Drag-Along Sale.
4.4.    Accelerated Change of Control Transaction.
(a)    Generally. Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.3(a), in connection with any proposed merger, consolidation or business combination or Specified Colony Change of Control or in connection with any proposed Transfer of the nature referred to in Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.3(a) (including for purposes of this Section 4.4 any Transfer to personnel of the Colony Capital Group or Digital Colony Personnel), in each case that would result in Colony Capital (A) no longer directly or indirectly owning a majority of the Ownership Interests or (B) ceasing to Control the Digital Colony Management Parties (an “Accelerated Change of Control Transaction”), then by written notice to the Digital Colony Representative to be delivered within thirty (30) days

28

LA_LAN01:362977.13



of receipt of the Tag-Along Notice or Drag-Along Notice, as the case may be, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) may elect to Transfer, or pursuant to Section 4.3(a) (if applicable), DCMH may elect to require the Wafra Management Subscribers to Transfer, to the Purchaser (and in the case of a Specified Colony Change of Control, the right of the Wafra Management Subscribers to Transfer the Ownership Interests to the Purchaser shall be a condition to the consummation of such transaction), 100% of the Wafra Management Subscribers’ Ownership Interests, subject to Section 4.6 and Section 4.7, at the same price per Ownership Interest and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as those being offered to the Tag-Along Seller or Drag-Along Seller or, in the case of a Specified Colony Change of Control, the applicable seller or sellers in such Specified Colony Change of Control, mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an Accelerated Change of Control Transaction, the Wafra Entities shall be entitled to sell 100% of their Ownership Interests. In connection with any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction, any Sponsor Commitments and Identified Sponsor Commitments shall become freely transferable.
(b)    Accelerated Change of Control Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.3, Section 4.6 and Section 4.7, if any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction occurs prior to July 17, 2025, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) will be entitled to receive the greater of (i) such Wafra Management Subscriber’s pro rata share of the net proceeds of such Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale attributable to the Ownership Interests and (ii) an amount that provides such Wafra Management Subscriber with an amount equal to at least the Minimum Return Threshold.
4.5.    Additional Conditions to Tag-Along Sales and Drag-Along Sales. In connection with any Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction), the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) shall execute all appropriate documents reasonably necessary to Transfer ownership of the Tagging Interest or Wafra Dragged Interest, as the case may be; provided, that such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) (a) shall only be required to give customary representations and warranties with respect to such Wafra Management Subscriber’s due organization, authority to enter into applicable Transfer documentation, non-contravention of applicable Laws and material agreements, or required approvals of any Governmental Authority (in respect of which a Wafra Entity is a party), and free and clear title of the relevant Ownership Interests, (b) shall not be required to provide any indemnification with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by any other Person, including any Colony Party (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to subclause (a), such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) may be required to provide indemnification in respect of its own representations, warranties, covenants or agreements), (c) shall not be required to bear more than its pro rata portion (based on proceeds received by such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) as compared to the aggregate proceeds in connection with the Transfer) of any indemnification obligation with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants of the other owners of the Ownership Interests (which shall not in any event exceed the net proceeds received by such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) in consideration for the Transfer of such Tagging Interest or Wafra Dragged Interest, as the case may be), and (d) except for confidentiality restrictions consistent with those set forth in this Agreement, shall not be required to agree to any non-compete or other similar restrictive covenants. In addition, each Wafra Management Subscriber and each Colony Party shall cooperate in good faith to effect such Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale in such a manner so as

29

LA_LAN01:362977.13



to minimize any adverse legal, regulatory or tax consequences to such Wafra Management Subscriber and such Digital Colony Management Parties and to minimize the Parties’ obligations to obtain any consents from a third party or Governmental Authority.
4.6.    Consideration.
(a)    Valuation. In connection with any Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Accelerated Change of Control Transaction, in evaluating whether the relevant Ownership Interests are being sold at the same price per Ownership Interest and on the same terms and subject to the same conditions that are applicable to the Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale proposed by the Tag-Along Sellers or Drag-Along Sellers, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, the Digital Colony Representative, as applicable, and the Wafra Representative, will work together in good faith to agree on the valuation for the Ownership Interests being sold by the Wafra Management Subscribers, based on the value ascribed by the Purchaser to the Ownership Interests being Transferred and taking into account all of the economics offered to the Tag-Along Sellers and Drag-Along Sellers, as applicable, and each of their respective Affiliates (other than industry standard compensation for future services rendered that are bona fide market compensatory payments), but without regard to time constraint or any contractual restriction, minority, lack of liquidity or marketability, or similar discount; provided, that for purposes of this Section 4.6(a), any securities to be received as consideration in connection with a Tag-Along Sale or a Drag-Along Sale (to the extent permitted hereunder) shall be valued at the fair market value thereof on a post-transaction basis (and not at the value of the Ownership Interests that, absent this Section 4.6(a), would otherwise be exchanged therefor) which fair market value shall not give effect, for purposes hereof, to any discounts as to lack of liquidity, marketability or minority interest or similar discount.
(b)    Independent Appraiser. Absent agreement by the relevant parties with respect to the valuation of the Ownership Interests held by the Wafra Management Subscriber, any applicable Tag-Along Sellers or Drag-Along Sellers or, in the case of an Accelerated Change of Control that is a Specified Colony Change of Control, the seller in such Specified Colony Change of Control, as the case may be, and the Digital Colony Representative and the Wafra Representative, shall jointly select a nationally recognized independent appraiser (the “Independent Appraiser”) to determine the value of the Ownership Interests, who will be instructed to take into account the value of any offer made by an independent third party in making its determination; provided, that the Independent Appraiser shall not be permitted or authorized to determine a valuation of the Ownership Interests that is outside of the range of the valuation of the Ownership Interests proposed by the Wafra Representative, on the one hand, and the Tag-Along Sellers or the Drag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, on the other hand. The Independent Appraiser shall be instructed, as soon as reasonably practicable but within thirty (30) days of the date of the engagement of the Independent Appraiser, to complete its valuation of the Ownership Interests proposed to be Transferred in connection with such transaction, giving due regard to the transaction with the applicable Purchaser, the different series, classes or types of Ownership Interests (taking in account the factors described in Section 4.6(a)) and other assets included in the transaction, and other relevant market factors. The determination of the Independent Appraiser shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto for all purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the Independent Appraiser’s determination of the value of such Ownership Interests, the Independent Appraiser shall have reasonable access to the Digital Colony Companies’ management team and the books, records and

30

LA_LAN01:362977.13



other information reasonably requested by such the Independent Appraiser. The fees and expenses of the Independent Appraiser shall be borne by the Wafra Representative, on the one hand, and by the Tag-Along Sellers or the Drag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Appraiser based on the valuation of the Ownership Interests submitted by each of the Wafra Representative and the Tag-Along Sellers or the Drag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amount of the valuation in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Appraiser at the time its determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.
(c)    Minimum Return Threshold. Without limitation of any other provision in this Section 4.6, in the event of a Drag-Along Sale or an Accelerated Change of Control Transaction prior to July 17, 2025, the Wafra Management Subscribers will be entitled to receive, and DCMH shall cause the Wafra Management Subscribers to receive, consideration in respect of such Ownership Interests equal to (1) prior to the second anniversary of the Closing, the product of (x) the percentage of such Wafra Management Subscriber’s total Ownership Interests to be sold in such Transfer, and (y) (i) 1.5 times the aggregate Management Interests Consideration Amount paid by such Wafra Management Subscriber, (ii) minus any distributions received by such Wafra Management Subscriber in respect of the Ownership Interests and Preferred Dividends; (2) after the second anniversary of the Closing and prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, the product of (x) the percentage of such Wafra Management Subscriber’s total Ownership Interests be sold in such Transfer, and (y) (i) 1.75 times the aggregate Management Interests Consideration Amount paid by such Wafra Management Subscriber, (ii) minus any distributions received by such Wafra Management Subscriber in respect of the Ownership Interests and Preferred Dividends; and (3) after the third anniversary of the Closing, the product of (x) the percentage of such Wafra Management Subscriber’s total Ownership Interests to be sold in such Transfer, and (y) (i) 2.0 times the Management Interests Consideration Amount paid by such Wafra Management Subscriber (ii) minus any distributions received by such Wafra Management Subscriber in respect of the Ownership Interests and Preferred Dividends (such applicable amount, the “Minimum Return Threshold”).
(d)    In connection with any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction or Drag-Along Sale, (i) the relevant Wafra Management Subscribers will receive per Ownership Interest consideration pro rata with the other owners of Ownership Interests (including, directly or indirectly, any member of the Colony Capital Group) and taking into account any differences in value as set forth in this Section 4.6), (ii) such Accelerated Change of Control Transaction will be subject to the Minimum Return Threshold, if applicable, and (iii) in such Accelerated Change of Control Transaction or Drag-Along Sale, the relevant Wafra Management Subscribers shall be entitled to receive 100% cash consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.6(d) in no way limits the Wafra Management Subscribers’ right to effect a 100% sale pursuant to Section 4.4.
(e)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Sellers or Drag-Along Sellers, as applicable, shall each pay their respective pro rata share (based on aggregate proceeds to be received in connection with such Transfer by the applicable Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Seller(s) or the Drag-Along Seller(s) as applicable) of the aggregate expenses incurred by all of the applicable Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Seller(s) or the Drag-Along Seller(s), as applicable, in connection

31

LA_LAN01:362977.13



with any proposed sale or Transfer of the nature referred to in Section 4.2, Section 4.3, or Section 4.4.
4.7.    SPE Investor. In the event of a Tag-Along Sale, a Drag-Along Sale or a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.4, in each case in which one or more of the Wafra Management Subscribers are Transferring all of their Ownership Interests in a Digital Colony Company, the Digital Colony Management Parties and CCOC shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Representative to structure such Transfer with respect to each such Wafra Management Subscriber that is, or that has any direct or indirect owner that is, in each case, a special purpose vehicle (each, an “SPE Investor”) to include each such SPE Investor in such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Transfer, on the terms of such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Transfer, or the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Transfer, it being understood and agreed that any costs associated with such inclusion (including reduced transaction value due to the inclusion of such special purpose vehicles) shall be borne solely by such Wafra Management Subscriber. In addition, in connection with any IPO described in Section 4.8, the Digital Colony Management Parties and CCOC shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Representative to cause each SPE Investor to be contributed to the IPO entity in exchange for equity of the IPO entity.
4.8.    Registration Rights. In the event that, following a transaction or series of transactions whereby assets of Colony Capital or CCOC are transferred or otherwise disposed of such that the Digital Colony Business comprises 90% or more of the asset value of Colony Capital (a “Specified Colony Asset Transaction”), Colony Capital, CCOC and the Wafra Management Subscribers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in order to allow the Wafra Management Subscribers to convert their Ownership Interests into an amount of shares of Colony Capital (or any publicly traded parent company or the applicable publicly traded vehicle) common stock (and Colony Capital, CCOC and the Wafra Management Subscribers will discuss in good faith the manner of implementation of such conversion) such that the Wafra Management Subscribers are entitled to such share of the total issued and outstanding publicly traded equity as the Wafra Management Subscribers’ interest in the Digital Colony Management Parties bears to the value of Colony Capital (or any such publicly traded parent company or publicly traded vehicle) as a whole, and to grant customary and appropriate registration rights. In the event and to the extent that (a) any Digital Colony Management Party (or successor corporation thereto), or other entity formed for the purposes of an IPO of the Digital Colony Business, reasonably expects to undertake an IPO (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a Spin‑Off), (b) any shares of common stock of Colony Capital are issued pursuant to Section 9, or (c) one or more of the Warrants are exercised, the Wafra Representative, the Digital Colony Representative and Colony Capital shall enter into one or more registration rights agreements (and, if applicable, exchange and/or conversion agreements) in good faith, in respect of the underlying securities issued in any of the circumstances set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.8, which shall provide, among other things, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) with the rights with respect to such securities as set forth on Exhibit B, but only to the extent that such securities are not freely tradeable on the NYSE or NASDAQ. For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Management Subscribers shall only be permitted to participate directly in any such IPO to the extent Colony Capital (or its Affiliates other than the IPO entity) is selling secondary shares therein (and then on a pro rata basis based on their respective Ownership Interests in relation to the shares sold by Colony Capital).

(d)    The Digital Colony Management Parties shall each furnish to the Wafra Management Subscriber a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1 to Form 1065 (“IRS Schedule K-1”). Each Digital Colony Management Party shall furnish to the Wafra Management Subscriber with respect to each year an estimated IRS Schedule K-1 or equivalent and applicable estimated state and local apportionment information by March 15 after the end of the taxable year, and a final IRS Schedule K-1 and final state and local apportionment information by August 1 after the end of the taxable year. Each Digital Colony Management Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Management Subscriber upon reasonable request with respect to Tax matters attributable to such Wafra Management Subscriber’s interests in such Digital Colony Management Party.
(e)    The Parties agree that CCDH shall be designated as the “partnership representative” of DCMH (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) for each taxable year with respect to which a Wafra Entity owns an Ownership Interest and that CCDH shall be bound by the same duties of good faith and fair dealing in its capacity as the “partnership representative” of DCMH as would apply to a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, if DCMH receives a notice of final partnership adjustment from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to which the Partnership Audit Rules are applicable, the “partnership representative” of DCMH shall cause DCMH to (i) (x) consult in good faith with the Wafra Representative, and consider in good faith any requests made by the

45

LA_LAN01:362977.13



Wafra Representative, with respect to whether to cause DCMH to elect the application of Section 6226 of the Code, with respect to any imputed underpayment arising from such adjustment, and (y) if the “partnership representative” elects the application of Section 6226 of the Code, furnish to each partner of DCMH a statement of such partner’s share (based on the year to which such adjustment relates) of any adjustment to income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (as determined in the notice of final partnership adjustment) or (ii) use reasonable efforts to modify such imputed underpayment under Sections 6225(3) and (4) of the Code, in each case with respect to any more than de minimis imputed underpayment arising from such adjustment, to the extent that such modifications are available (taking into account the tax status of each Wafra Management Subscriber and, if applicable, its direct or indirect owners, based on receipt of any needed information) and would reduce any Taxes payable by DCMH with respect to the applicable imputed underpayment.  Any tax benefits resulting from any such modification and reduction shall, to the extent not prohibited under applicable Law, be allocated to the member to which the tax benefit relates. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Tax is imposed on, and paid by, DCMH under the provisions of the Partnership Audit Rules, and such Tax is determined in good faith by CCDH to be attributable to, or made on behalf of or in respect of, an equityholder of DCMH (or one or more beneficial owners thereof), CCDH shall, and the Digital Colony Management Parties shall cause CCDH to, (A) cause such Tax to be borne by such equityholder (or beneficial owner(s) thereof) and (B) in determining whether a Tax is so attributable, take into account the tax status of such equityholder (or beneficial owner(s) thereof). Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Organizational Document to the contrary, DCMH shall not make any election pursuant to the Partnership Audit Rules to cause Sections 6221-6241 of the Code to apply to any tax year beginning prior to January 1, 2018. The provisions of this Section 6.5(e) shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Subsidiaries of DCMH that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes in respect of U.S. federal, state or local income tax matters. DCMH shall cause its “partnership representative” to (i) promptly provide the Wafra Representative with notice of any tax audit, investigation or proceeding with respect to DCMH, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to an adverse effect on the Wafra Management Subscriber (each, a “Tax Proceeding”), (ii) keep the Wafra Representative reasonably informed regarding any such Tax Proceeding, (iii) provide copies of any material pleadings, briefs, petition, submissions and correspondence to the Wafra Representative in connection with such Tax Proceeding, and (iv) shall not settle or otherwise compromise (or fail to settle or otherwise compromise) any such Tax Proceeding if it would have a disproportionate, material and adverse effect on the Wafra Management Subscriber (including, for this purpose, where the Wafra Management Subscriber is a pass-through entity for tax purposes, any direct or indirect owners of the Wafra Management Subscriber that are special purpose vehicles and treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purpose) without the Wafra Management Subscriber’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(f)    Notwithstanding anything in an applicable Organizational Document to the contrary, in the event of a Transfer of Interests in a Digital Colony Management Party by a Wafra Management Subscriber, allocations between such Wafra Management Subscriber and the applicable Transferee of the distributive shares of the various items of such Digital Colony Management Party’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit as computed for Tax purposes shall be allocated between such Wafra Management Subscriber and such Transferee on a closing of the

46

LA_LAN01:362977.13



books basis or such other proper basis as such Wafra Management Subscriber and such Transferee shall reasonably agree.
(g)    Each Digital Colony Management Party shall furnish to the applicable Wafra Management Subscribers any information necessary for Tax and regulatory filings or elections or otherwise reasonably requested by such Wafra Management Subscribers.
(h)    Each NFRE Recipient (or, if such Person is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the owner of such Person’s assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall be a different Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes from the applicable general partner or other Carried Interest Recipient for such Digital Colony Fund. No Digital Colony Company other than a Digital Colony Management Party shall earn any management fees or other amounts taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes as fee income from a Digital Colony Fund. The Digital Colony Management Parties shall not be required to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 5.17(h) to the extent (i) such compliance would have an adverse impact on the Digital Colony Management Parties other than in an immaterial manner and (ii) the Digital Colony Representative has consulted in good faith with the Wafra Representative in connection therewith and has considered in good faith implementing a structure with respect to the Digital Colony Management Parties that achieves the Wafra Management Subscribers’ legal, tax and/or regulatory objectives.
(i)    In the event of a Transfer of an Interest in any Digital Colony Management Party by a Wafra Management Subscriber, the applicable Digital Colony Management Party shall, and the manager, managing member(s) or general partner, as applicable, shall cause the applicable Digital Colony Management Party to (i) to the extent such Digital Colony Management Party is legally able to do so, deliver a certificate pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.1445-11T, duly executed in accordance with the requirements of such Treasury Regulation and dated as of the date of such Transfer, certifying that either (A) 50% or more of the value of the gross assets of such Digital Colony Management Party does not consist of “United States real property interests” (within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code) or (B) 90% or more of the value of the gross assets of such Digital Colony Management Party does not consist of “United States real property interests” (within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code) plus “cash or cash equivalents” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.1445-11T(d)(1)), (ii) to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver any such information or certificates to such Wafra Management Subscriber and/or the applicable Transferee as would permit Tax withholding under Section 1446(f) of the Code (or any successor version thereof) to be reduced or eliminated; and (iii) reasonably cooperate with such Wafra Management Subscriber in reducing or eliminating any other applicable Tax withholding in connection with such Transfer; provided, that the Wafra Management Subscriber shall reimburse each applicable Digital Colony Management Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing.
(j)    Any requirement of a Wafra Management Subscriber to provide information about any investor in such Wafra Management Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement or any applicable Ancillary Agreement relating to Taxes shall be, unless otherwise required by Law, subject to commercially reasonable confidentiality restrictions imposed by such Wafra Management Subscriber and such Wafra Management Subscriber shall only be required to use commercially

47

LA_LAN01:362977.13



reasonable efforts to provide any such information about any investor in such Wafra Management Subscriber
(k)    The parties hereto agree to treat each Digital Colony Management Party as a partnership or as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not to cause any Digital Colony Management Party to elect to be, or otherwise be treated as, a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
6.6.    Key Person Insurance. DCMH will reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Management Subscriber to acquire, at the Wafra Management Subscribers’ sole expense, with the Wafra Management Subscribers as named beneficiaries, key person insurance over such individuals as the Wafra Management Subscribers may reasonably request from time to time following the Closing.
SECTION 7
CONFIDENTIALITY; USE OF WAFRA NAME
7.1.    Confidentiality. Subject to Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, from the date hereof until the two (2) year anniversary of the date on which each of the Wafra Management Subscribers and all other Wafra Entities cease to own any Ownership Interests, each Party shall treat as strictly confidential specific information with respect to the process of negotiating this Agreement, information about the Digital Colony Business, any other Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates obtained or received by any Party as a result of or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (“Confidential Information”), and shall not, except with the prior written consent of each other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the extent such Party is legally permitted to seek such prior written consent, make use of (except for the purposes of performing its obligations under this Agreement) or disclose to any other Person any Confidential Information; except to the extent that such disclosure is: (a) required by any Law or by legal process or upon request of a Governmental Authority (it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, none of the Wafra Management Subscribers, the Wafra Representative or any of the other Wafra Entities or any of their Affiliates (including WINC and any Affiliates of WINC) shall have any obligation to notify any Digital Colony Management Party or Managing Director (or Successor) of a request of a Governmental Authority, or compliance with such request, if such request does not specifically relate to the Digital Colony Management Parties, the Managing Directors (or Successors) or the investment contemplated hereby); (b) to such Party’s Affiliates (including, as applicable, any Wafra Entity) and the respective employees, representatives, current and prospective professional advisors, current and prospective service providers and other agents of such Party or its Affiliates (each, a “Representative”) that have a need to know such Confidential Information; provided, that such Representative has a contractual, professional or legal obligation to keep such Confidential Information confidential in accordance with this Section 7.1; (c) subject to Section 7.5, with respect to a Wafra Management Subscriber, to a current or prospective investor in, or Person advised by, such Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates, the following to the extent required by any definitive written Contract or as part of ordinary course reporting or marketing purposes: (i) the name “Digital Colony” or “Digital Bridge”; (ii) the Closing Date; (iii) a description of the Digital Colony Business; (iv) the name and assets under management of the Digital Colony Funds; (v) the

LA_LAN01:362977.13



approximate Ownership Interest in the applicable Digital Colony Management Parties; (vi) the amounts and dates of distributions received from the Digital Colony Management Parties or the Digital Colony Funds; (vii) any high level fund performance information that the Digital Colony Funds provide to their limited partners; (viii) aggregate revenues and profitability of the Digital Colony Business; (ix) a summary description of the terms of the this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the existence of restrictive covenants and the broad minority investor rights framework, in each case as set forth therein); (x) the names of Portfolio Companies of the Digital Colony Funds (excluding (A) any material non-public information and any information regarding publicly traded securities held by any Digital Colony Fund that is not disclosed to limited partners of the Digital Colony Funds, (B) any information related to DCMH’s valuation of, and performance metrics for, any Portfolio Company, except for any such information provided to any limited partners or investors in the Digital Colony Funds, and (C) any information that cannot be disclosed pursuant to the terms of any applicable non-disclosure agreement; provided, that with respect to this clause (C), DCMH shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements under circumstances in which such foregoing restrictions apply); (xi) disclosure made available to investors in the Digital Colony Funds; (xii) ratios and performance information or any other information derived by using any of the information provided to any Wafra Entity in connection with the consideration and negotiation of the Contemplated Transactions or other information described in this Section 7.1(c); and (xiii) any other information as may be required from time to time with Digital Colony Consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that such current or prospective investor shall have been advised as to the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and be bound by contractual confidentiality obligations; (d) subject to Section 7.5, with respect to any Digital Colony Management Party, to a current or prospective investor in, or Person advised by, such Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates; provided, that such current or prospective investor shall have been advised as to the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and be bound by contractual confidentiality obligations; and provided, further, that the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not, subject to Section 7.5, be disclosed by the Digital Colony Management Parties to any such investors or Persons; (e) in connection with any financing, any proposed financing or any Transfer permitted under the terms of this Agreement; or (f) made as part of any necessary or advisable Tax filing or to obtain any Tax benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be in breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 7.1 as a result of the disclosure or use of Confidential Information if such Confidential Information (i) was lawfully in such Party’s possession prior to its being obtained or received as described in this Section 7.1, (ii) has come into the public domain other than through such Party’s fault or (iii) has come lawfully into such Party’s possession from a third party having, to such Party’s knowledge, no duty of confidentiality to the other Parties with respect to such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for so long as the Wafra Management Subscribers own any Ownership Interests, DCMH authorizes the Wafra Management Subscribers and their Affiliates to publish and use the names of any of the Digital Colony Companies or their Affiliates on the public websites of the Wafra Management Subscribers and their Affiliates with the prior written consent of the Digital Colony Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
7.2.    Existing Confidentiality Obligations. This Agreement shall constitute a termination of any confidentiality or similar agreement or arrangement between the Digital Colony Management

49

LA_LAN01:362977.13



Parties or any of their respective Affiliates on the one hand, and any Wafra Entity or its Affiliates on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Digital Colony Management Parties shall provide, and DCMH shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to not, and shall cause the other Digital Colony Management Parties to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts not to, provide, any Wafra Entity or its Affiliates (as applicable) with, or with access to, any information that from time to time such Wafra Entity or its Affiliates reasonably requests in writing not to receive.

For this purpose, “tax treatment and tax structure” means any facts relevant to the U.S. federal or state income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but does not include information relating to the identity of any Party or the performance of any investment hereunder (except to the extent relevant to such tax treatment or tax structure).
7.4.    Use of the Wafra Name. Except (a) as required for use in marketing materials, including any confidential offering memorandum of the Digital Colony Funds, in the form set forth in Schedule 7.4 hereto, or in such other form as approved by Wafra Consent, (b) as required by applicable Law or legal process or (c) with Wafra Consent, CCOC shall ensure that no Digital Colony Management Party or any of its or their Affiliates or other members of the Digital Colony Group shall, use the Wafra Name in any written or verbal communication; provided, that the Wafra Representative may rescind any such Wafra Consent provided pursuant to clause (c) above in good faith on a reasonable basis, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice; and provided, further, that a Digital Colony Management Party may (i) by written or verbal communication advise other investors and prospective investors in any Digital Colony Fund of the fact that a Wafra Entity has made a commitment to such Digital Colony Fund (for avoidance of doubt, this disclosure shall only include the Wafra Management Subscriber’s name and investment amount) and (ii) disclose the name of such Wafra Entity to the Digital Colony Fund’s lenders in the ordinary course of such Digital Colony Fund’s business where the applicable Digital Colony Management Party determines in good faith that such disclosure is in the best interests of such Digital Colony Fund in connection with such lender working with such Digital Colony Fund in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, upon the earlier to occur of (A) the date on which each Wafra Management Subscriber and all other Wafra Entities cease to own any portion of any Ownership Interests or (B) a Redemption Event, a Sale Event or a Liquidation Event, all prior Wafra Consent to the use of the Wafra Name shall be deemed to be rescinded. Upon the effective date of any such rescission, the applicable Digital Colony Management Parties and their respective Affiliates and agents shall as promptly as reasonably practicable cease such use and any similar use of the Wafra Name (including, if applicable, by discontinuing the use of any prospectus or promotional materials that uses or makes reference to the Wafra Name, unless otherwise authorized by Wafra Consent). Any Person disclosing the Wafra Name pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 7.4 shall promptly provide Wafra with notice of such disclosure, including a description of the relevant materials and circumstances in which the Wafra Name was included.
7.5.    No Public Announcement. Except for any disclosure which is required pursuant to applicable Law (including securities Laws) or obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange (provided, that the Party proposing to issue any press

50

LA_LAN01:362977.13



release or similar public announcement, communication to investors or to the news media or financial markets divulging the existence of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions in compliance with any such disclosure obligations shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Parties before doing so), each of the Parties hereto shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, issue any press release or other similar public announcement or communication divulging the existence of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions without Wafra Consent and the prior written consent of the Digital Colony Representative, which consent shall in each case not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Colony Capital may make any public statements in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or analyst or investor conference calls, so long as such statements are not inconsistent with previous statements made by any Party hereunder and such public statements are permitted to be made pursuant hereto.
SECTION 8
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1.    Rights under A&R DCMH Agreement. Each of the Parties that is a “Member” (as defined in the A&R DCMH Agreement) of DCMH, together with each such Party’s respective Affiliates and each of their respective current or former managers, officers, fiduciaries, trustees or managing members, shall be entitled to the rights to indemnification set forth in Article X of the A&R DCMH Agreement.
8.2.    Indemnification by Digital Colony Funds. CCOC shall take commercially reasonable actions within its control to cause the general partner (or comparable Person) of each future Digital Colony Fund to enter into Organizational Documents for each future Digital Colony Fund that contain indemnification provisions substantially similar to those set forth in the Organizational Documents of Digital Colony Partners, L.P. as of the date of this Agreement, as such terms may be reasonably modified, based on the advice of external counsel, for any Digital Colony Fund organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware (the “Indemnification Arrangement”). In the event DCMH believes, due to legal, commercial, regulatory or other reasons, that the general partner (or comparable Person) of a future Digital Colony Fund will not be able to implement the Indemnification Arrangement, DCMH will consult in good faith with the Wafra Representative; provided, that in all cases, the Wafra Entities and Buyer Indemnitees shall have the same rights to indemnification as the comparable members of the Colony Capital Group and any Digital Colony Indemnitee.
SECTION 9
REDEMPTION RIGHT
9.1.    Redemption Right.
(a)    Redemption Right. Following the occurrence of a Redemption Event, the Wafra Representative shall have the right for a ninety (90) day period, exercisable by delivering a written notice to the Digital Colony Representative (a “Redemption Notice”), to require the Digital Colony Companies or CCOC (at the Digital Colony Representative’s election) (the date of delivery of the Redemption Notice, the “Redemption Date”) to repurchase or cause to be repurchased the entirety of the Ownership Interests (i) within thirty (30) Business Days of the Redemption Date at an amount equal to (w) the sum of Management Interests Consideration Amount, the Warrants

51

LA_LAN01:362977.13



Consideration Amount and the Contingent Consideration Amount, if paid (such sum in this clause (w), the “Total Management Consideration Amount”), minus (x) any distributions or payments received by the Wafra Management Subscriber pursuant to the A&R DCMH Agreement, as applicable, as of immediately prior to the Redemption Event (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distributions or payments received of Available Cash pursuant to the A&R DCMH Agreement, but excluding distributions or payments in respect of the Sponsor Commitments or Identified Sponsor Commitments) (such amounts described in this clause (x), the “Management Distributions”), or (ii) to the extent Colony Capital remains listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ at such time, by doubling the Wafra Management Subscriber’s Specified Percentage with respect to all distributions until the Redemption Amount is paid in full, during which time the Wafra Management Subscribers shall retain their Ownership Interests, as modified by this clause (ii) (the “Redemption Amount”, and such redemption right, the “Redemption Right”) (it being agreed and understood that clause (i)(w) of the definition of Redemption Amount shall be modified for purposes of clause (ii) to read “1.5x the Total Management Consideration Amount”) (this clause (ii), the “Deferred Redemption”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Redemption Right pursuant to this Section 9.1(a) shall only be exercisable concurrently with the exercise of the Redemption Right under Section 8 of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement and, to the extent the amount of Management Distributions exceeds the Total Management Consideration Amount (as it may have been modified in connection with a Deferred Redemption), such excess shall be deducted from any unpaid Redemption Amount pursuant to the Carried Interest Participation Agreement.
(b)    Payment Option. In the event that Digital Colony Representative elects the Deferred Redemption, the Digital Colony Representative may elect at any time to pay any remaining outstanding portion of the Redemption Amount in cash and/or registered shares of Colony Capital common stock (calculated by reference to 97% of the trailing thirty (30)-day VWAP of the common stock at the time payment) up to 250,000,000 registered shares of common stock in the aggregate (inclusive of any shares of common stock issued pursuant to Section 8(b) of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement, the “Share Cap”); provided, that, if the Redemption Amount has not been paid in full by the fourth (4th) year anniversary of the Redemption Date, the outstanding portion of the Redemption Amount shall be paid in registered common stock of Colony Capital having a value equal to the outstanding portion of such Redemption Amount (calculated by reference to 97% of the trailing thirty (30)-day VWAP of the common stock at the time payment) up to the Share Cap (inclusive of any shares previously issued in satisfaction on any portion of the Redemption Amount under this Agreement or Section 8(b) of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement) and thereafter in cash to the extent of any remaining outstanding portion of the Redemption Amount; provided, further, that if Colony Capital ceases to be listed on the NYSE or the NASDAQ, any portion of the Redemption Amount that is not paid in full shall immediately be payable in cash. Any amounts paid or distributed to the Wafra Management Subscribers in connection with a Redemption Event shall be treated as a payment to a retiring partner in accordance with Section 736(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

52

LA_LAN01:362977.13



(c)    Payment of Redemption Amount. The Redemption Amount shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account(s) specified in writing by the Wafra Representative.
(d)    Sponsor Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon the occurrence of a Redemption Event, the Wafra Representative shall specify in the Redemption Notice whether the Wafra Participation Buyers’ interests in funded Sponsor Commitments shall either be (i) freely transferable or (ii) redeemed on the basis of net asset value for the then current quarter, adjusted for cash activity, in which case such net asset value-based determination shall be added to the Redemption Amount.
(e)    Rights and Remedies. In the event of the occurrence of any Redemption Event, the sole and exclusive recourse of the Wafra Entities in connection therewith shall be the exercise of the Redemption Right set forth in this Section 9, and the Wafra Entities shall have no other remedies, claims or rights of recovery or to further compensation based on a diminution of value of the Ownership Interests.
9.2.    New Colony Party; Successors. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers provided herein and to Section 10.4, to the extent of any assignment or Transfer by a Colony Party to another Person, then CCOC shall cause such Person to execute and deliver to the Parties a Joinder Agreement, and upon such execution to become a Party to, and be bound by, the terms of this Agreement as a “Colony Party” hereunder. In the event that, following the date hereof, any Person meets the definition of “Successor,” Colony Capital and the Digital Colony Management Parties shall take all action within his or her control to cause such Person to execute and deliver to the Parties a restrictive covenant agreement that is substantially similar to the A&R Restrictive Covenant Agreements as adjusted to include prevailing customary markets term in an agreement of that type, but in all cases shall include a covenant not to compete with the Digital Colony Business and not to solicit employees, clients or investors of the Digital Colony Business for any Competing Business until the second anniversary of the date following the termination of such Person’s employment for Cause or departure without Good Reason.
9.3.    New Wafra Management Subscriber. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers provided herein and to Section 10.4, to the extent of any assignment or Transfer by the Wafra Management Subscriber to another Person or to the extent any Person becomes a successor to the Wafra Management Subscriber and, as such, meets the definition of “Wafra Management Subscriber”, in each case, other than a Person that is then party to this Agreement, the existing Wafra Management Subscriber(s) shall cause such new Wafra Management Subscriber to execute and deliver to the Parties a Joinder Agreement, and upon such execution to become a Party to, and bound by the terms of, this Agreement.

(c)    The prior written consent of (i) the Wafra Representative may be obtained by any Digital Colony Management Party hereunder from the Wafra Representative on behalf of any Wafra Management Subscriber or any other Wafra Entity, and, unless otherwise provided herein, any such consent or approval may be withheld, and any other decision or determination to be made by the Wafra Representative (or any Wafra Entity) hereunder may be made, in the sole discretion of such Wafra Representative (or any such Wafra Entity), as applicable (the “Wafra Consent”) and (ii) the Digital Colony Representative may be obtained by any Wafra Entity hereunder from the Digital Colony Representative on behalf of CCOC, Colony Capital or any Digital Colony Management Party, and, unless otherwise provided herein, any such consent or approval may be withheld, and any other decision or determination to be made by the Digital Colony Representative (or any Digital Colony Company) hereunder may be made, in the sole discretion of such Digital Colony Representative (or any such Digital Colony Company), as applicable (the “Digital Colony Consent”).
10.2.    Entire Agreement; Conflicts; Severability. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Ancillary Agreements and other written agreements executed in connection herewith or therewith, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and constitutes the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties unless modified in a writing signed by all of the Parties. In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 10.5, any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms or provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are found to conflict with or otherwise be inconsistent with any of the provisions of any Ancillary Agreement (including for this purpose any current or future Contract in connection with any Specified Investment, Warehouse Investment, Identified Sponsor Commitment or otherwise contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements) other than the Investment Agreement, the Carry Investment Agreement and the A&R DCMH Agreement (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. In the event of any conflicts between the terms of this Agreement and/or the Carried Interest Participation Agreement, on the one hand, and the Digital Colony Fund I Fund Documentation, Fund I Specified Investment Agreement and/or the Purchaser Side Letter, on the other hand, the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement and Section 9 of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement shall prevail with respect to the Transfer of any Sponsor Commitments and Identified Sponsor Commitments. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Investment Agreement, the Carry Investment Agreement or the A&R DCMH Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement and/or the Carry Investment Agreement, as applicable, shall control in all respects. CCOC shall cause any applicable general partner or managing member of any Digital Colony Fund or Digital Colony Company to comply with the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement to the extent of any conflict with respect thereto between the Fund Documentation and the rights related to the CFIUS Redemption Right pursuant to Annex A of the Investment Agreement.
10.3.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
