REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT


 


THIS REIMBURSEMENT
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 30, 2015, is made by and between TWINLAB CONSOLIDATED HOLDINGS,
INC., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), TWINLAB CONSOLIDATION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“TCC”),
and JL PROPERTIES, INC., an Alaska corporation (“JL Properties”).


 


WHEREAS, Parent and
TCC are parties to that certain Office Lease Agreement, dated April 7, 2015, among Parent and TCC, as tenant (collectively, the
“Tenant”), and First Central Tower, Limited Partnership (including its successors or assigns, “Landlord”),
as landlord, as may be amended from time to time (the “Lease”).


 


WHEREAS, Tenant is
obligated under the Lease to provide Landlord a security deposit in the amount of $1,000,000 in the form of cash or an unconditional,
irrevocable, transferable, and negotiable commercial letter of credit (the “Security Deposit”).


 


WHEREAS, Tenant has
requested that JL Properties cause an unconditional, irrevocable, transferable, and negotiable commercial letter of credit in the
amount of $1,000,000 to be issued in favor of Landlord or NXT Capital Funding, LLC, Landlord’s mortgagee (“Landlord’s
Mortgagee”), as directed by Landlord, from Wells Fargo Bank, National Bank (the “Bank”) to satisfy
Tenant’s obligation to provide the Security Deposit under the Lease.


 


WHEREAS, JL Properties
has agreed to do so subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the promises and the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, each party hereto hereby agrees as follows:


 






    	-1-



    	 



    

 





1.Issuance of
LOC. On or before May 1, 2015, JL Properties will cause the Bank or such other letter of credit issuer as permitted under Section
4.03 of the Lease (the “LOC Issuer”) to issue an unconditional, irrevocable, transferable, and negotiable commercial
letter of credit in the amount of $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as permitted under the Lease), which letter of credit shall
automatically renew on an annual basis for a period of five (5) years, with an expiration date of April 30, 2020 (the “Expiration
Date”), in favor of Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee, as directed by Landlord, to satisfy Tenant’s obligation
to provide the Security Deposit under the Lease (the “LOC”). The LOC shall be in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A or such other form as is acceptable to the LOC Issuer and Landlord. The LOC shall comply with the requirements
of Section 4.03 of the Lease. On or after the Expiration Date (or sooner if the LOC is returned to JL Properties or surrendered
to the LOC Issuer), JL Properties shall have no further obligation to provide the LOC and Tenant shall be solely responsible for
satisfying the obligations with respect to the LOC and the Security Deposit under the Lease. After the Expiration Date, Tenant
shall use its best efforts to have the Landlord or the Landlord's mortgagee return the LOC to JL Properties or surrender it to
the LOC Issuer.


 


2.Issuance
of Warrants. In consideration of JL Properties causing the issuance and maintenance of the LOC during the term of the Lease,
on or before May 1, 2015, Parent shall issue to JL Properties a warrant in the aggregate amount of 465,880 shares of common stock
of Parent exercisable at the purchase price of $0.01 in the aggregate (the “Penny Warrant”) and a warrant in
the aggregate amount of 86,962 shares of common stock of Parent exercisable at the purchase price of $1.00 per share (the “Dollar
Warrant” and with the Penny Warrant, the “Warrants”). The Penny Warrant shall be substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and shall be exercisable into the common stock of the Parent as provided therein.
The Dollar Warrant shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and shall be exercisable into the common
stock of the Parent as provided therein. Parent and JL Properties, by their execution and delivery of this Agreement, expressly
agree to the terms and provisions of the Warrants and to be bound thereby.

3.Reimbursement
Obligations. Except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3, in the event that Landlord draws upon the LOC, Tenant
shall reimburse JL Properties for the amount of such draw (each such draw, a “Draw Amount”) as follows:


 


a.Commencing
on the first (1st) day of the sixth (6th) month anniversary of the date that Landlord draws on the LOC, the Draw Amount shall be
paid in semi-annual installments of fifty percent (50%) of the Draw Amount (each semi-annual installment, an "Installment
Amount") plus interest. A final payment of the entire Draw Amount and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the first
(1st) anniversary of the date that Landlord draws on the LOC.


 


b.The
interest rate shall be the greater of (i) federal interest rate for mid-term obligations published by the Internal Revenue Service
as of the date Landlord draws upon the LOC or (ii) the federal interest rate that JL Properties is required to pay to the LOC Issuer
in connection with the draw on the LOC. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days
outstanding.


 


c.Tenant
may prepay a Draw Amount, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty. Any partial prepayment shall be applied
to the last installment coming due.


 


d.In
the event that Tenant fails to pay all or any portion of an Installment Amount within fifteen (15) days after notice of such failure
from JL Properties to Tenant (each an, "Unpaid Installment"), JL Properties shall have the option (such option being
specified in the notice of default relating to the Unpaid Installment) to require that Parent issue to JL Properties a warrant
in the aggregate amount of "XX" shares of common stock of Parent exercisable at the purchase price of $0.01 in the aggregate,
such warrant being substantially in the form of the Penny Warrant, and a warrant in the aggregate amount of "YY" shares
of common stock of Parent exercisable at the purchase price of $1.00 per share, such warrant being substantially in the form of
the Dollar Warrant, and Parent shall issue such warrants within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice from JL Properties; provided,
however, that Parent shall have no obligation to issue additional warrants under this Section 3(d) so long as Tenant’s failure
to pay arises out of a prohibition to pay, and JL Properties’ preclusion to accept, an Installment Payment under the terms
of that certain Subordination Agreement (JL-Properties), dated as of April 30, 2015, by and between JL Properties and MidCap Funding
X Trust, that certain Subordination Agreement (JL-Properties), dated as of April 30, 2015, by and between JL Properties and Penta
Mezzanine SBIC Fund I, L.P. or that certain Subordination Agreement (JL-Properties), dated as of April 30, 2015, by and between
JL Properties and JL-BBNC Mezz Utah, LLC. For purposes of the warrants issued under this Section 3(d), (i) "XX" shall
mean the applicable Unpaid Installment divided by $1,000,000, multiplied by 465,880 and further multiplied by two and (ii) "YY"
shall mean the applicable Unpaid Installment divided by $1,000,000, multiplied by 86,962 and further multiplied by two. The warrants
issued under this Section 3(d) are in full satisfaction of Tenant's obligation to pay the Unpaid Installments for which such warrants
are issued.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord
draws upon the LOC solely as a result of the LOC Issuer’s determination not to renew the LOC at an annual renewal
during the term of the LOC, and JL Properties fails to replace the LOC with a substitute LOC acceptable to the Landlord, Tenant
shall not have an obligation to reimburse JL Properties under this Section 3; provided, however, that if the Landlord thereafter
uses or applies the proceeds thereof in accordance to the terms of the Lease applicable to the Security Deposit, Tenant, to the
extent Landlord uses or applies the proceeds of the LOC, shall be required to reimburse JL Properties in accordance with this Section
3. Further, if Landlord draws upon the LOC as a result of the LOC Issuer's failure to renew the LOC prior to the Expiration Date,
the proceeds of the LOC held as the Security Deposit shall be considered the property of JL Properties’ and not Tenant's.
Promptly after the Expiration Date, JL Properties shall receive, directly or indirectly from Tenant, the balance of the proceeds
held as the Security Deposit, less any prior reimbursements received from Tenant, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for satisfying
the LOC and Security Deposit obligations under the Lease.


 


4.Copy of Lease
and Notices of Amendment to Lease. JL Properties acknowledges receipt of a fully executed copy of the Lease. Subject to Section
6 below, Tenant agrees to provide JL Properties with copies of each amendment or modification to the Lease promptly (but in any
event within 10 business days) of the effective date of such amendment or modification.


 


5.Notices of
Default Under Lease. Tenant agrees to provide JL Properties copies of all notices of default given by Landlord to Tenant under
the Lease promptly (but in any event within 2 business days) of receipt.


 


6. Amendment
to Section 4.03 of Lease. Tenant shall not amend or modify, or permit any amendment or modification of, Section 4.03 of the
Lease without first obtaining the written consent of JL Properties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.


 


7.Rights and
Obligations Under Lease. Tenant shall undertake all reasonably required or requested actions to enforce its rights and Landlord’s
obligations under Article IV of the Lease, including without limitation those provisions of such Section 4.03 regarding the return
of the LOC to JL Properties, and shall fully cooperate and coordinate with JL Properties in connection therewith.


 


8.Continuing
Agreement. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and will remain in full force and effect until the later of (a) surrender
of the LOC to the LOC Issuer (b) the expiration or termination of the LOC or (c) full payment of all reimbursement obligations
by Tenant under Section 3.


 


9.Notices.
