Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings specified in Section 6.1.

A.         Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company shall issue and sell to the Investors, and the Investors shall purchase from the Company, an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Series A Senior Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in each of the Subscription Agreements (as defined below).

B.          The Company has filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective as of August 1, 2022, (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (as may be amended, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), which, among other things, sets forth certain restrictions and limitations on transfer of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, options and other interests that would be treated as “stock” of the Company, as more fully set forth therein, and (ii) the Certificate of Designations, which sets forth certain designations, rights, preferences, powers, restrictions and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock.

C.         The Parties each desire to enter into this Agreement to, among other things, establish certain additional rights, preferences, powers, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, options and other interests that would be treated as “stock” of the Company and address herein certain relationships among themselves.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.1         Transfers Generally. Any Transfer of Preferred Stock not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company.

SECTION 1.2          Permitted Transfers.

(a)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Holder may Transfer any Preferred Stock (a “Permitted Transfer”) to any Person (each such Person, a “Prospective Transferee”) other than a Disqualified Transferee; provided, that each such Prospective Transferee shall be a (i) “United States person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or (ii) “foreign government” within the meaning of section 892 of the Code that is eligible for, and claiming the benefits of, the exemption from taxation under section 892 of the Code, and shall provide to the Company a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 claiming complete exemption from dividend withholding tax before such Transfer shall be effective; provided, further, that no Transfer shall be made in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Laws or that results (or could reasonably be expected to result) in the Company being required to register the Preferred Stock pursuant to applicable securities Laws. In connection with any Permitted Transfer and as a condition thereto, such Prospective Transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company a Preferred Holder Joinder, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, at the time of or prior to any Transfer (unless such Prospective Transferee is a Holder before giving effect to such Transfer) and shall thereafter be party to this Agreement in accordance with its term and conditions.

(b)          Notwithstanding  Section 1.2(a), if an Event of Noncompliance or a Mandatory Redemption Event occurs, then the Preferred Stock shall be freely transferable by any Holder without regard to whether the Prospective Transferee is a Disqualified Transferee (but any such Transfers shall remain subject to the other requirements of Section 1.2(a)).

(c)          The Company shall keep at its principal office a register for the registration of the Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate (if the shares are certificated) or book-entry record representing any Preferred Stock at the Company’s principal office, the Company shall, upon the request of the Holder of such certificate or book-entry record, promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days after such request) prepare, execute and deliver (at the Company’s expense) new certificates or book-entry record in exchange therefor representing Preferred Stock with an aggregate Stated Value represented by the surrendered certificate or book-entry record. Such certificate or book-entry record shall be registered in the name requested by the Holder of the surrendered certificate or book-entry record and shall represent the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock as is requested by the Holder of the surrendered certificate or book-entry record. Dividends shall accumulate on the aggregate Stated Value of the Preferred Stock represented by such new certificate or book-entry record from the date on which Dividends have been fully paid on the aggregate Stated Value of the Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate or book-entry record. The issuance of such new certificate or book-entry record shall be made without charge to the Holders, and the Company shall pay for any cost incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, including any documentary, stamp and similar issuance or transfer tax in respect of the preparation, execution and delivery of such new certificate or book-entry record pursuant to this Section 1.2(c). All transfers and exchanges of Preferred Stock shall be made promptly by direct registration on the books and records of the Company and the Company shall take all such other actions as may be required to reflect and facilitate all transfers and exchanges not prohibited by this Section 1.2(c).

(d)          Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (it being understood that an affidavit of the applicable Holder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company shall constitute such evidence) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing Preferred Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Company shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the Preferred Stock represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

(e)          Unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the applicable Holder, each certificate or book-entry record representing Preferred Stock shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex I and shall be subject to the restrictions set forth therein. In addition, such certificate or book-entry record may have notations, additional legends or endorsements required by Law, exchange rules or agreements to which the Company and any Holder (in its capacity as a Holder) is subject, if any.

SECTION 1.3         Exemption from Certain Transfer Restrictions.

(a)          The Parties acknowledge the restrictions on Transfer set forth in the Fifteenth Article of the Certificate of Incorporation.  The Parties further acknowledge and agree that such restrictions do not apply if the transferor or the transferee obtains the written approval of the Board of Directors.  For purposes of this Section 1.3, the terms “Transfer”, “Person”, “Prohibited Transfer”, “Corporation Securities” and “Substantial Shareholder” shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Certificate of Incorporation.

(b)          Treatment of Preferred Stock and Warrants.

(i)          Subject to the requirements of this Agreement, the Company agrees and acknowledges that any Transfer restrictions and limitations of Corporation Securities set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, including without limitation those set forth in the Fifteenth Article or any successor provisions thereof, shall not apply to the Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities.  The Company represents and warrants to the Investors that the Board of Directors has provided written approval that any Transfer restrictions and limitations of Corporation Securities set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, including without limitation those set forth in the Fifteenth Article or any successor provisions thereof, shall not apply to the Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities (whether Transferred by an Investor or another transferee of such Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities).

(ii)          Accordingly, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any Transfer of Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities shall not constitute a Prohibited Transfer (whether Transferred by an Investor or another transferee of such Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities).

(iii)          “Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities” means Corporation Securities issued to the Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, including any shares of Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares.

(c)          Permitted Acquisitions.

(i)          The Company acknowledges and agrees that any transfer restrictions and limitations of Corporation Securities set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, including without limitation those set forth in the Fifteenth Article or any successor provisions thereof, shall not apply to the acquisition by the holder of any Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities of additional Corporation Securities to the extent such Person’s Percentage Stock Ownership (excluding the portion of such amount attributable to the Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities) does not exceed 4.8% (“Permitted Acquisitions”); provided, that the foregoing agreement shall not apply to the extent that each such Permitted Acquisition would result in an “ownership change” of the Company within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, which for this purpose, shall (i) be calculated by replacing the fifty (50) percent threshold set forth in Section 382(g)(1)(A) with forty-five (45) percent and (ii) assume that the Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities are not stock described in Section 1504(a)(4) of the Code. The Company represents and warrants to the Investors that the Board of Directors has provided written approval that any Transfer restrictions and limitations of Corporation Securities set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, including without limitation those set forth in the Fifteenth Article or any successor provisions thereof, shall not apply to Permitted Acquisitions as provided in the preceding sentence.

(ii)          Accordingly, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any Permitted Acquisition shall not constitute a Prohibited Transfer and the owners of Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities shall not constitute Substantial Shareholders unless and until their respective ownership of Corporation Securities (excluding Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities) results in a Percentage Stock Ownership of 4.8% or more; provided, that the foregoing agreement shall not apply to the extent that each such Permitted Acquisition would result in an ownership change within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, which for this purpose, shall (i) be calculated by replacing the fifty (50) percent threshold set forth in Section 382(g)(1)(A) with forty-five (45) percent and (ii) assume that the Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities are not stock described in Section 1504(a)(4) of the Code.

(d)          Third-Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each transferee of Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities shall be an express third party beneficiary of the Company’s agreements and obligations under this Section 1.3 and shall be entitled to enforce such agreements and obligations as if it were a named party to this Agreement solely with respect to Section 1.3 hereof.

(e)          Notice and Cooperation.  Subject to applicable law and other contractual agreements applicable to the Investor, each Investor agrees to use good faith efforts to provide the Company with written notice of any additional Corporation Securities acquired by such Investor prior to entering into a binding agreement to acquire such Securities (the “Signing Date”); provided, however, that the sole and exclusive consequence of the breach by an Investor of the foregoing covenant shall be the potential for such acquisition to be deemed void ab initio in whole or in part by reason of the operation of the Certificate of Incorporation as modified by any applicable waivers thereto provided by the Company to such Investor. If, notwithstanding such obligation, such Investor did not provide the Company with such prior written notice, such Investor agrees to provide written notice to the Company of such potential acquisition within five (5) days of the Signing Date; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to provide such timely notice shall not result in any monetary damages.  In addition, each Investor agrees to provide written notice to the Company within five (5) days of any Transfer of the Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to provide such timely notice shall not result in any monetary damages.  The Company agrees to promptly (within two (2) days) provide to any requesting Investor the Company’s then current percentage ownership shift for purposes of Section 382(g)(1) of the Code assuming that the Contemplated Preferred-Related Securities are not stock described in Section 1504(a)(4) of the Code.

SECTION 2.1        Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article II and applicable securities Laws, if the Company or an Intermediate Holding Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall (or, if applicable, shall cause such Intermediate Holding Company) first offer such New Securities to the Investors. An Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it, in such proportions as it deems appropriate, among itself and its Affiliates.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall provide written approval that any restrictions and limitations set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, including without limitation those set forth in the Fifteenth Article or any successor provisions thereof, shall not apply to the Investors’ purchase of the New Securities.

SECTION 2.2         Notice. The Company shall (or, if applicable, shall cause such Intermediate Holding Company to) give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Investor, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number or principal amount, as applicable, of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

SECTION 2.3       Exercise. By notification to the Company within ten (10) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals (x)  the aggregate amount or principal amount, as applicable, of New Securities proposed to be offered and sold by the Company, multiplied by (y) the Investor’s Pro Rata Share. At the expiration of such ten (10) day period, the Company shall (or, if applicable, shall cause such Intermediate Holding Company to) promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days, in writing, notify each Investor electing to purchase all the New Securities available to it (each such Investor, a “Fully-Exercising Investor”) of any other Investor’s failure to do likewise and the number or principal amount, as applicable, of New Securities that remain unsubscribed for (such notice, an “Oversubscription Offer Notice”). By notification to the Company within ten (10) days after an Oversubscription Offer Notice is given, each Fully-Exercising Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the same price and on the same term specified in the Offer Notice, up to a portion of New Securities which equals (x)  the aggregate amount or principal amount, as applicable, of New Securities that remain unsubscribed for, multiplied by (y) such Fully-Exercising Investor’s Pro Rata Share; provided, that each Fully-Exercising Investor shall also be entitled to notify the Company of its election to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the same price and on the same term specified in the Offer Notice, any additional New Securities, and if the Fully-Exercising Investors elect to purchase or otherwise acquire more than the total number or principal amount, as applicable, of New Securities available for purchase, then such New Securities not subscribed for by other Fully-Exercising Investors shall be allocated among the Fully-Exercising Investors electing to acquire in excess of their Pro Rata Share in accordance with the amounts so elected. The closing of any sale or issuance, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall occur at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Company (in its sole discretion) within the earlier of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale or issuance, as applicable, of New Securities pursuant to Section 2.4; provided, that if a notice is given either by the Company or by an Investor pursuant to Section 2.5, the closing of a sale or issuance, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall occur within five (5) Business Days after the satisfaction of all Regulatory Approval Conditions.  Each electing Investor shall duly execute and deliver any document reasonably requested by the Company in connection with this Article II.

SECTION 2.4        Sale or Issuance of New Securities. If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 2.3, the Company (or such Intermediate Holding Company) may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 2.3, offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price equal to or greater than the price specified in the Offer Notice, and upon terms no more favorable to such Persons than those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company (or such Intermediate Holding Company) does not enter into an agreement for the sale or issuance, as applicable, of the New Securities within such period, or if the transactions contemplated by such agreement are not consummated within forty five (45) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered or sold unless first reoffered to the Investors in accordance with this Article II.

SECTION 2.5         Regulatory Approval Conditions.  If, as a result of the exercise of a right pursuant to this  Article II, (i) the Investors notify the Company within ten (10) days of their exercise of such right that the Investors reasonably believe a Regulatory Approval Condition may apply, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investors within (10) days of the Investors’ exercise of such right that the Company reasonably believes a Regulatory Approval Condition may apply, then the Investors and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to determine the applicability of any such Regulatory Approval Condition and use (and cause their respective Affiliates to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions reasonably necessary or advisable on their part to cause the satisfaction of any such Regulatory Approval Condition, including by (x)  furnishing the other with all information concerning itself and its Affiliates, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of the Investors, or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to any Governmental Authority in connection with such exercise; and (y) preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable all consents, clearances, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Governmental Authority in order to consummate such purchase of New Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any transaction whereby the Company (or such Intermediate Holding Company) sells any New Securities to the Investors pursuant to this Article II occur without the written consent of the Majority Holders and the Company unless and until the satisfaction of all Regulatory Approval Conditions that either such Person reasonably determines are applicable to such purchase of New Securities. The costs and expenses of all activities required pursuant to this  Section 2.5 shall be borne by the Person or Persons incurring such costs and expenses.  The deadlines set forth in Section 2.3 shall be tolled until five (5) Business Days following the satisfaction of any Regulatory Approval Conditions.

              SECTION 2.6         Exceptions. The right of first offer in this Article II shall not be applicable to securities or indebtedness, as applicable, issued (a) as a result of any stock or equity split (or reverse split) of the Company effected on a pro rata basis among all securities of the same class or series, (b) as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Stock, (c) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, (d) to Persons as direct consideration for the acquisition of another corporation or other entity, or the acquisition of a line of business or of assets of another corporation or other entity, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, by stock purchase, merger, purchase of all or substantially all assets or other reorganization, (e) in connection with the Spin-Off (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) pursuant to the Senior Debt Agreement or (f)  upon the conversion or exchange of any other securities that were (i) offered to the Investors pursuant to this Article II or (ii) exempt from this Article II; in each case for clauses (a) – (f), such issuances shall be subject to the terms of the Certificate of Designations.

Any replacement of a Key Person shall be thereafter deemed a “Replacement Investment Professional”.

SECTION 3.4       Manager Event Consultation Right. Prior to the occurrence of a Manager Event, the Company and/or Fortress shall notify the Key Holders in writing of such Manager Event, consult the Key Holders in good faith on the decision to enter into a Manager Event Arrangement and on the potential counterparty to such Manager Event Arrangement, and provide the Key Holders with such background information relating to such counterparty as may be reasonably requested by the Key Holders.
