ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


3.1          Representations
and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the applicable Closing
Date (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be made as of such date) to the Subscriber:


 


(a)          Organization
and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware, and has the requisite power and authorization to own its properties and to carry on its business as now
being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and
is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes
such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(b)          Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated
by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its respective obligations hereunder and thereunder. Other than
the Required Approvals (as defined in Section 3.1(d)), the execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder have been
duly authorized by a committee of independent directors of the Company’s Board of Directors and by all other necessary action
on the part of the Company, including, without limitation, by (i) the Company’s Board of Directors determination that the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Capacity and Services Agreement constitute an Exempt Transaction
(as defined in that certain 382 Rights Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2015, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., a
national banking association (the “382 Rights Plan”)) and (ii) the approval of the applicable Capacity Shares
pursuant to Rule 16b-3 as an exempt issuance to a director by deputization (the approvals required by the foregoing clauses (i)
and (ii) are referred to herein as the “Board Approvals”), and other than the Stockholder Approval, no further
consent or action is required by the Company, or its Board of Directors or stockholders. Each Transaction Document has been (or
upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company, and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company, in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies
and except as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law. Assuming, the Subscriber's
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(l) hereof are true and correct as of immediately prior to the Initial
Closing, the transactions contemplated both by the Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closing do not require the approval of the
Continuing Directors (as defined in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation), and are not deemed a Business Transaction
(as defined in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation) with a Related Person (as defined in the Company’s
Restated Certificate of Incorporation).

or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected,

(t)          Disclosure.
Each Public Filing made since January 1, 2012, at the time filed, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. Since January 1, 2012, no material event or material circumstance has occurred or material
information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, liabilities, prospects,
operations (including results thereof) or conditions (financial or otherwise), which, under applicable law, rule or regulation,
requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed
in the Public Filings.


 


(u)          No
Other Representations or Warranties. The Company makes no representations or warranties to the Subscriber in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than those expressly set forth in this Section 3.1.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any oral or written
representations or warranties of the Subscriber, express or implied, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
other than expressly those set forth in this Agreement or in the Capacity and Services Agreement.


 


3.2          Representations
and Warranties of the Subscriber. The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the applicable
Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be made as of such date)
to the Company as follows:


 


(a)          Organization;
Authority. The Subscriber is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance
by the Subscriber of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of the Subscriber. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Subscriber is a party has been duly executed by the Subscriber
and, when delivered by the Subscriber in accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation
of the Subscriber, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general
principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.


 


(b)          No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Subscriber and the consummation by the
Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision
of the Subscriber’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to
others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the
Subscriber is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or
other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which the Subscriber is subject (including, without limitation, foreign, federal
and state securities laws and regulations); except in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, as would not, reasonably be expected
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the ability of the Subscriber to perform its obligations
thereunder.


 




    	 	- 11 -	 



     


    

 


(c)          Investment
Intent. The Subscriber is acquiring the Capacity Shares as principal for its own account for investment purposes and not
with a view to distributing or reselling such Capacity Shares or any part thereof in violation of applicable securities laws,
without prejudice, however, to the Subscriber’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
such Capacity Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and Section 4.11 hereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by the Subscriber to hold the Capacity Shares for any period of
time. The Subscriber understands that the Capacity Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore
the Capacity Shares may not be sold, assigned or transferred unless pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act with respect thereto or (ii) an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.


 


(d)          Subscriber
Status. At the time the Subscriber was offered the Capacity Shares, it was, and at the date hereof or as of the applicable
Closing Date, as applicable, it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.


 


(e)          Experience
of the Subscriber. The Subscriber, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Capacity Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Subscriber is able to bear the economic
risk of an investment in the Capacity Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.


 


(f)          General
Solicitation. The Subscriber is not purchasing the Capacity Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication regarding the Capacity Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television
or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the Subscriber’s knowledge, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.


 


(g)          Access
to Data. The Subscriber has received and reviewed information about the Company and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s
business, management and financial affairs with its management and to review the Company’s facilities. The Subscriber acknowledges
that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers
from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Capacity Shares and the merits
and risks of investing in the Capacity Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its respective financial condition,
results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the
opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense
that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. The foregoing, however, does not limit
or modify the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement or any other provision in this Agreement or
the right of the Subscriber to rely thereon. The Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Capacity Shares.


 




    	 	- 12 -	 



     


    

 


(h)          Transfer
or Resale. The Subscriber understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Capacity Shares
have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale,
sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Subscriber shall have delivered to the Company
(if requested by the Company) an opinion of counsel to the Subscriber, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such
Capacity Shares to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
or (C) the Subscriber provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Capacity Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred
pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule
144”); (ii) any sale of the Capacity Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms
of Rule 144; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Capacity Shares under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.


 


(i)           Reliance
on Exemptions. The Subscriber understands that the Capacity Shares being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon
the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements
and understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility
of such Subscriber to acquire the Capacity Shares.


 


(j)           No
Governmental Review. The Subscriber understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Capacity Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment
in the Capacity Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Capacity Shares.


 


(k)          Legends.
The Subscriber understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Capacity Shares, except as set forth below,
shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of
such stock certificates):


 


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SELECTED BY THE HOLDER, IN A GENERALLY
ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID
ACT. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCKUP PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT,
DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 22, 2016, BY AND BETWEEN IMATION CORP. AND CLINTON GROUP INC., AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCKUP, EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.”


 




    	 	- 13 -	 



     


    

 


The legend
set forth above shall be removed (in whole or in part, as applicable), and the Company shall issue a certificate or certificates
with a legend or without such legend to the holder of the Capacity Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic
delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if (i) in connection with
a sale, assignment or other transfer of such Capacity Shares, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a
generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Capacity Shares may be made without registration
under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer of such
Capacity Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, in either case so long as the Lockup (as defined herein)
has lapsed. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the holder of the Capacity Shares within three
(3) Trading Days after the occurrence of any of (i) through (ii) above (the initial date of such occurrence, the “Legend
Removal Date”), a certificate without such legend or to issue such Capacity Shares to such holder by electronic delivery
at the applicable balance account at DTC, and if on or after such Trading Day such holder purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such holder of such Capacity Shares that the holder
anticipated receiving without legend from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3)
Trading Days after the holder’s request and in the holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the holder in an amount
equal to such holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such unlegended Capacity Shares
shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such holder such unlegended Capacity Shares as provided above
and pay cash to such holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of
shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Legend Removal Date. The Company
shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.


 


(l)           Holdings
of Subscriber. Assuming the representations and warranties provided by the Company set forth in Section 3.1(g) hereof
are true and correct, as of immediately prior to the Initial Closing, the Subscriber and its Affiliates beneficially own no more
than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.


 


(m)         No
Other Representations or Warranties. The Subscriber makes no representations or warranties to the Company in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than those expressly set forth in this Section 3.2. The Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any oral or written representations or warranties of the Company, express or
implied, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than expressly those set forth in this Agreement

Pledge.


 


(a)          The
Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by

of the Person in whose name the Capacity Shares have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee). The Company
shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of the Subscriber or its legal representatives.


 


(b)          The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of
the Capacity Shares in connection with a bona fide loan pursuant to which all of the Subscriber’s assets are pledged to secure
such loan and, if required under the terms of such agreement, the Subscriber may transfer pledged or secured Capacity Shares to
the pledgees or secured parties, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval
of the Company and no legal opinion of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further,
no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Subscriber’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Capacity Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of
the Capacity Shares.


 


4.2          Integration.
None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that
would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause the offering of any of the
Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions of the Principal
Market.


 


4.3          Reporting
Period. Until the date on which the Subscriber shall have sold all of the Capacity Shares (the “Reporting Period”),
the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall
not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such termination.

of Capacity Shares. The Company shall (a) prepare and timely file with the Principal Market an additional shares listing
application covering all of the Capacity Shares, (b) cause the Capacity Shares to be approved for listing on the Principal
Market as soon as practicable thereafter, (c) provide to the Subscriber evidence of such listing, and (d) maintain the
listing of the Common Stock on the Principal Market or another Eligible Market. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall take any action which would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common
Stock on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations
under this Section 4.5.


 


4.6          Form
D and Blue Sky. The Company shall file a Form D with respect to the Capacity Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide
a copy thereof to the Subscriber. The Company shall, on or before the Initial Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to, qualify the Capacity Shares for sale to the Subscriber
at each Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United
States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action (if any) so taken to
the Subscriber on or prior to the Initial Closing Date. Without limiting any other obligation of the Company under this Agreement,
the Company shall timely make all filings and reports (if any) relating to the offer and sale of the Capacity Shares required under
all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, all applicable federal securities laws and all applicable “Blue
Sky” laws), and the Company shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, regulations
and the like relating to the offering and sale of the Capacity Shares to the Subscriber.


 


4.7          Indemnification.
In consideration of the Subscriber’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Capacity Shares
thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend,
protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber and each other holder of the Capacity Shares and all of their stockholders,
partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents
or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether
any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising
out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction
Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement
or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated
hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including
for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery,
performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby; provided, that, solely with respect to the Company’s indemnification of the Indemnitees pursuant to the foregoing
clause (c), the Company shall not be required to indemnify Indemnitees for the first $400,000 of such Indemnified Liabilities incurred
by the Indemnitees and shall not be required to indemnify Indemnitees to the extent such cause of action, suit or claim resulted
from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee. The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse the Indemnitees
under this Section 4.7 for any Indemnified Liabilities that exceed, in the aggregate, the dollar amount equal to the sum
of (x)(A) the number of Initial Capacity Shares; multiplied by (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the Initial
Closing Date; plus to the extent the Indemnified Liabilities were incurred on or prior to the Subsequent Closing Date, (y),
(A) the number of Subsequent Capacity Shares, multiplied by (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the Subsequent
Closing Date. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under
this Section 4.7 shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.


 




    	 	- 16 -	 



     


    

 


4.8          Stockholders
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or any other Person that the Subscriber is an “Acquiring
Person” or any similar term under any stockholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted
by the Company, or that the Subscriber could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of
receiving Capacity Shares under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Subscriber.


 


4.9          Public
Information. At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the applicable Closing Date and
ending at such time that all of the Capacity Shares, if a registration statement is not available for the resale of all of the
Capacity Shares, may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance
with Rule 144(c)(1), if the Company shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without
limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c) or (ii) if the Company has ever
been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any
condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (each, a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the
damages to any holder of such Capacity Shares by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell such Capacity
Shares (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each
such holder an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Market Value of such Capacity Shares of such holder
on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter
until the earlier of (i) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such Public Information Failure
no longer prevents a holder of such Capacity Shares from selling such Capacity Shares pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions
or limitations. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.9 are referred to herein as
“Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier
of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (II) the
third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event
the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments
shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in the Registration Rights Agreement, in no event shall (i) the aggregate amount of Public Information
Failure Payments to a holder of Capacity Shares exceed, in the aggregate, ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Market Value of such
holder’s Capacity Shares on the applicable Closing Date and (ii) the Company be obligated to make both Public Information
Failure Payments and Registration Delay Payments (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in respect of the same securities
and for any same period of time in which a failure giving rise to such payments is deemed to have occurred. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein or in the Registration Rights Agreement, in no event shall the Company be obligated to make a Public Information
Failure Payment if such Public Information Failure resulted solely from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Subscriber or its stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors or employees.


 




    	 	- 17 -	 



     


    

 


4.10       Stockholder
Approval. The Company shall provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of stockholders of the
Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which shall be called as promptly as practicable after the date hereof,
but in no event later than February 15, 2017, or such later date as agreed by the Company and the Subscriber (the “Stockholder
Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) at the expense of the Company, which
shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Subscriber after review by Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP (which fees shall be borne
by the Subscriber), soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions
(the “Resolutions”) providing for the issuance of all of the Initial Capacity Shares and Subsequent Capacity
Shares as described in the Transaction Documents in accordance with applicable law, the provisions of the Company’s certificate
of incorporation and bylaws and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market (such affirmative approvals being referred to
herein, collectively, as the “Stockholder Approval” and the date such approval is obtained, the “Stockholder
Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of
such Resolutions and to cause the Board of Directors of the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve the Resolutions.
The Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting
Deadline. The Company shall file the Proxy Statement with the SEC on or prior to December 13, 2016.


 


4.11       Lock-Up.
For a period of three (3) years from the applicable Closing Date, the Subscriber shall not (a) offer, pledge, sell, contract to
sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase,
lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Capacity Shares or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Capacity Shares, whether any
such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Capacity Shares or such other securities,
in cash or otherwise (the “Lockup”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber may transfer Capacity Shares
to any of its Affiliates, provided that such Affiliate(s) agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth in this Section
4.11. For the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Common Stock held by the Subscriber prior to the date hereof and any shares
of Common Stock that the Subscriber may from time to time acquire after the date hereof shall not be subject to the lock-up provisions
of this Section 4.11.


 




    	 	- 18 -	 



     


    

 


4.12       Notice
of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Subscriber in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification
Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification
Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person.


 


4.13       Investment
Company Status. For so long as the Subscriber holds any Capacity Shares, the Company will not be, an “investment company,”
an affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated
person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” as
such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


 


4.14       Break-Up
Fee. In the event the Company does not obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall
promptly pay the Subscriber, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions delivered by
the Subscriber in writing to the Company, a break-up fee equal to $500,000, intended to cover the Subscriber's expenses and the
time devoted by the Subscriber's personnel in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Transaction Documents and the
Capacity and Services Agreement. In addition, the Company may elect not to consummate the Initial Closing if it enters into a Superior
Agreement, provided that in such case the Company shall promptly pay the Subscriber, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available
funds pursuant to wire instructions delivered by the Subscriber in writing to the Company, a break-up fee equal to $1,500,000 (and
shall not be required to pay any break-up fee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or pursuant to Section 7.C of the
Capacity and Services Agreement).


 


4.15       Registration
Eligibility. The Company shall be eligible to register the Registrable Securities for resale by the Subscriber using Form S-3
promulgated under the Securities Act on or prior to the Initial Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

6.2          Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements
between the Subscriber, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed
herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties
or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other

with the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall be binding on the Subscriber and all holders of Capacity Shares. No provision

any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to the Company. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to
amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration
(other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.

    	 	- 25 -	 



     


    

 


6.4          Construction.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general
representation or warranty. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity
to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments
hereto.


 


6.5          Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Subscriber. The Subscriber may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom the Subscriber assigns or transfers
any Capacity Shares, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Capacity Shares, by
the provisions hereof and of the applicable Transaction Documents that apply to the Subscriber. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Capacity Shares may be pledged in accordance with Section 4.1(b) hereof.


 


6.6          No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that
each Indemnitee is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 4.7 and may enforce the provisions of such Section directly
against the parties with obligations thereunder.


 


6.7          Governing
Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees
not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit,
action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH
OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 




    	 	- 26 -	 



     


    

 


6.8          Survival.
The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Capacity
Shares, as applicable.


 


6.9          Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) filed of an executed signature page, such signature page shall
create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the
same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.


 


6.10       Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations
of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s),
the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).


 


6.11       Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of)
the Transaction Documents, whenever the Subscriber exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and
the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Subscriber may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.


 


6.12       Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in any of the other Transaction Documents or granted by law,
including recovery of damages, the Subscriber and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.
Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents shall be entitled
to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement or such other Transaction Documents and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the
Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under any of
the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Subscriber. The Company therefore agrees
that the Subscriber shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other
equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and
without posting a bond or other security. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise,
or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.


 




    	 	- 27 -	 



     


    

 


6.13       Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Subscriber hereunder or pursuant to any of the
other Transaction Documents or the Subscriber enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments
or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries by a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy
law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.


 


6.14       Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request
in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.


 


6.15       Dispute
Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Closing Bid Price or Weighted Average Price, the Company
shall submit the disputed determinations via facsimile or electronic mail within three (3) Business Days of the event giving rise
to such dispute to the Subscriber. If the Subscriber and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination of the Closing
Bid Price or Weighted Average Price, within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination being submitted to the Subscriber,
then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days submit via facsimile or electronic mail the disputed determination of the
Closing Bid Price or Weighted Average Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Subscriber and approved
by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall cause at its expense the
investment bank to perform the determinations and notify the Company and the Subscriber of the results no later than five (5) Business
Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations. Such investment bank’s determination shall be binding upon all
parties absent demonstrable error.

		2.	APPOINTMENT OF SERVICE PROVIDER; GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF IMATION RIA.



 


		A.	Appointment of Service Provider. Imation RIA hereby appoints the Service Provider to provide
the Services and the Capacity to Imation RIA, and the Service Provider hereby agrees to provide the Services and the Capacity to
Imation RIA, in accordance with this Agreement.



 


		B.	Imation RIA Governance and Management. Upon the Initial Closing Date, Imation RIA’s
initial board of directors will be comprised of Joseph De Perio, Daniel Strauss, Donald H. Putnam, Alex Spiro and one additional
or substitute director, as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in a separate writing. The Service Provider shall, upon
request from Imation RIA, provide reasonable assistance and consultation to Imation RIA regarding the selection and retention of
the executive management team for Imation RIA. For the avoidance of doubt, Imation RIA will determine the leverage and underlying
strategies in which the Imation Capital is invested, and will have complete discretion over how the Imation Capital will be invested
and the structure in which it will be held, provided that the provision of Investment Management Services by the Service Provider
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 3A. The Imation Capital, including the Invested
Equity, may be held in one or more private investment funds or similar investment vehicles managed by Imation RIA and/or one or
more separately managed accounts managed by Imation RIA. The Imation Capital may utilize a single investment strategy or a combination
of investment strategies.



 


		3.	INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES; CAPACITY



 


		A.	Investment Management Services. During the Term, Imation RIA may place under the Service
Provider’s management from time to time, subject at all times to the supervision of the Service Provider, the Invested Equity
which shall be held in a private investment fund or a similar investment vehicle sponsored by Imation RIA or a managed account
established by Imation RIA, subject to the terms of this Agreement, with terms not specified in this Agreement to be as mutually
agreed in writing by the Parties. The services provided by the Service Provider with respect to such Invested Equity pursuant to
this Agreement are referred to herein as the “Investment Management Services.”



 






    	 	4	 



     


    

 


If and to the extent Imation
RIA requests the Service Provider to provide Investment Management Services for Invested Equity, the Service Provider shall, subject
to the supervision of Imation RIA, manage such Invested Equity, on a discretionary basis, using the Service Provider’s quantitative
equity strategy, split evenly between long and short, with a leverage ratio not to exceed 5X per side, unless otherwise approved
by the Service Provider and Imation RIA in writing (subject to Imation Board Approval).


 


Imation RIA shall give the Service
Provider at least 45 days’ prior written notice of the date that it first allocates Invested Equity to the Service Provider
so that the Service Provider may attend to the necessary arrangements to manage the Invested Equity. Imation RIA shall give the
Service Provider prior written notice of all additional contributions of Invested Equity to the Service Provider’s management.


 


The Service Provider agrees
that it shall not knowingly accept any investments in any investment vehicle or account managed by the Service Provider or any
of its Affiliates directly from Imation RIA’s third party clients with whom the Service Provider does not have a pre-existing
relationship, without the prior written consent of Imation RIA.


 


At all times during the Term,
the Service Provider shall maintain sufficient personnel and facilities to perform its obligations under this agreement in accordance
with industry standards.


 


		B.	Capacity. Subject to the exceptions set forth below in this paragraph, the Invested Equity
shall not exceed $1 billion in the aggregate (the “Capacity”). For the avoidance of doubt, Imation’s current
investment in Clinton Lighthouse Equity Strategies Fund (Offshore), Ltd. (the “Clinton Fund”), as the amount
of such investment is adjusted to reflect net profits, losses, redemptions and subscriptions, counts towards Imation’s and
Imation RIA’s usage of the Capacity.



 


Imation RIA shall be permitted
to cause the Invested Equity to exceed the Capacity by any amount up to an additional $500 million for a maximum Capacity of up
to $1.5 billion upon Imation Board Approval and at least 45 days prior written notice to the Service Provider (the “Capacity
Expansion”). The Capacity rights shall survive for up to five years from the Initial Closing Date (the “Initial
Term”); provided that Imation RIA will have the option to extend the Capacity for two subsequent one-year periods upon
Imation Board Approval and at least 45 days’ prior written notice to the Service Provider (individually, each a “Capacity
Extension,” collectively, the “Capacity Extensions”; the Initial Term and the Capacity Extensions,
to the extent triggered, are collectively referred to as the “Term”).


 


In the event that the Invested
Equity (for the avoidance of doubt, including returns from such investment) must be reduced in order to avoid exceeding the Capacity,
(i) Imation’s assets will be withdrawn before the capital of Imation RIA’s third party investors is withdrawn, (ii)
the Service Provider shall identify and offer capacity in other strategies managed by the Service Provider at commercially reasonable
rates no greater than would be charged another client of Service Provider having the same amount invested as such excess, and (iii)
at the election of Imation RIA, its third party clients may continue to invest with the Service Provider such that the Capacity
is exceeded, provided only that such excess capacity shall be provided by the Service Provider as needed on commercially reasonable
terms at no greater fees and performance compensation than would be charged to another client of the Service Provider having the
same amount invested as such excess.


 






    	 	5	 



     


    

 


The calculation of the amount
of Capacity utilized shall be based on the fair value of the Invested Equity, as calculated by a nationally recognized third-party
fund administrator (“Administrator”), in consultation with the Service Provider, and in accordance with the Service
Provider’s valuation policies and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, as issued and amended from time to time.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall be a third-party service provider to Imation RIA. Imation RIA shall have the
right to review (i) the Service Provider’s valuation policies and/or (ii) the valuation of any specific investment. The Service
Provider will provide Imation RIA with a written estimate of the amount of Capacity utilized based on the Administrator’s
valuation of Invested Equity on a monthly basis, as soon as reasonably practicable following its receipt of the Administrator’s
calculation of fair value of the Invested Equity.


 


		4.	SCOPE OF SERVICES.



 


		A.	Capacity-Related Consultation Services. During the Term and for a 3-month transition period
thereafter, upon the request of Imation RIA, the Service Provider will consult with Imation RIA regarding operational, management
and other matters relating to the enumerated responsibilities of Imation RIA set forth in this Section 4.A, solely to the extent
that the following directly relate to Imation RIA’s use of the Capacity. Imation RIA and its third party service providers
shall in all cases, remain solely responsible for the following: (i) account reconciliation, (ii) P&L reporting, (iii) position
monitoring, (iv) cash management, (v) collateral management, (vi) liaising with the administrator, counsel and auditor engaged
by Imation RIA, (vii) fund formation documentation, (viii) regulatory filing assistance, (ix) IT support and maintenance and (x)
investor relations (such services, the “Capacity-Related Consultation Services”). For the avoidance of doubt,
the Service Provider shall have no responsibility for the management, compliance, operation and administration of Imation RIA.



 


		B.	Imation RIA Launch-Related Services. Upon the request of Imation RIA, the Service Provider
will consult with Imation RIA regarding Imation RIA’s management and compliance functions for up to one year commencing no
later than 90 days from the date hereof (such services, the “Imation RIA Launch-Related Services”), provided
that Imation RIA shall remain solely responsible for such functions.



 






    	 	6	 



     


    

 


		C.	Meetings with Imation RIA. During the Term, at the request of Imation RIA, the Service Provider
shall make one of its representatives available to address questions that Imation RIA may have regarding the Service Provider’s
obligations with respect to the Capacity and/or the Services.



 


		D.	Provision of Information. The Service Provider shall furnish such reports, evaluations,
certifications, financial statements, information or analyses to Imation RIA with respect to the Invested Equity as Imation RIA
and the Service Provider may agree following Imation RIA’s request from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service
Provider is not obligated to provide Imation RIA with any information with respect to any discretionary investment funds or accounts
managed by the Service Provider or its Affiliates (whether discretionary or non-discretionary) of the Service Provider’s
other individual or institutional clients. Imation RIA acknowledges and agrees that the Service Provider shall provide the types
of information described above to Imation RIA only to the extent that such provision does not conflict with confidentiality agreements,
confidentiality considerations or privacy requirements.



 


		E.	No Legal Advice. The Parties (i) agree that the Services provided by the Service Provider
pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute legal advice, and (ii) acknowledge that Imation RIA shall consult with its legal,
tax or other advisors, as deemed necessary in its discretion.



 


		F.	Exclusivity. During the Initial Term (and any Capacity Extension) the Service Provider will
not provide opportunities or services substantially similar to the Capacity-Related Consultation Services (regardless of pricing)
to any other publicly traded or quoted entity, or any Affiliate thereof.



 


		5.	COMPENSATION
AND EXPENSES.



 


		A.	Compensation.

and the Services, the Parties shall enter into, and perform their respective obligations set forth in, the other Transaction Documents,
which obligations include the obligation for Imation to make the following payments:

of, the Subscription Agreement.

Imation shall pay the Service Provider an additional $1.75 million for the first Capacity Extension ($2.5 million if Imation RIA
has previously opted for the Capacity Expansion) within 10 Business Days of receipt of an invoice from the Service Provider.



 


		B.	No Other Fees. Except as provided in Section 5.A., none of the Service Provider or its Affiliates
shall be entitled to any asset-based fee, performance-based fee or any other fee or form of compensation, payable in cash or Common
Stock, from Imation, Imation RIA or their Affiliates, for its provision of the Capacity and the Services, nor shall the Invested
Equity be subject to any asset-based fee, performance-based fee/allocation or any other fee payable or allocable to the Service
Provider or its Affiliate(s) from the Clinton Fund. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting any Party from
pursuing any remedies available at law or in equity for breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.



 


		C.	Expenses. Each of the Parties shall pay its own legal and other expenses relating to the
negotiation and execution of this Agreement. The Service Provider shall bear its own operating and overhead expenses, including
any expenses attributable to the Capacity and Services provided hereunder (such as salaries, bonuses, rent, office, utilities and
administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and auditing expenses), and Imation RIA shall not be responsible for such
expenses. Except to the extent constituting operating and overhead expenses of the Service Provider, Imation RIA will be responsible
for, and will promptly reimburse the Service Provider for, the following reasonable third-party direct expenses borne by the Service
Provider attributable to its performance of the Services and provision of the Capacity: legal, marketing, administrative and accounting
costs and expenses and research costs and expenses excluding data.

and except as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law.

advisory affiliates, or the vehicles or accounts managed by Imation RIA.
	 	 	 



		(h)	Each of Imation and Imation RIA shall inform the Service Provider promptly as soon as Imation or

materially affect) the business of Imation or Imation RIA.
	 	 	 



		(i)	Imation RIA represents, warrants and covenants that the Invested Equity shall not, and, for the

		(d)	To the best of the Service Provider’s knowledge, there has not been and there is not pending
any Proceeding to which the Service Provider is or was a party, or to which any of the assets of the Service Provider are or were

This Agreement may be executed
in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that all Parties need not
sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains
a portable document format (.pdf) filed of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation
of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such signature
page were an original thereof.


 






    	 	19	 



     


    

 


		16.	NO IMPLIED
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES.



 


The Service
Provider makes no representations or warranties as to the sufficiency of the Capacity or the Services or its investment policies
and procedures or their suitability for any particular purpose which Imation may have. No express or implied warranty or representation
is given by the Service Provider as to the performance or profitability of any particular investments or other property forming
part of, or constituting the Invested Equity or any other investments of Imation with the Service Provider. It is possible that
Imation may incur losses at any time with respect to assets invested with the Service Provider. Imation makes no implied representations
or warranties except for those expressly provided herein.


 


		17.	DISCLOSURE
OF CONFLICT OF INTERESTS.



 


Imation acknowledges
that the Service Provider may engage, invest and participate in, and otherwise enter into, other business ventures of any kind,
nature and description with others, and Imation agrees that no additional disclosure shall be required in that regard, except as
may be required by law. The Service Provider and its Affiliates and any of their respective members, partners, officers, employees
shall devote so much of their time to the provision of Services hereunder as in the judgment of the Service Provider the provision
of such Services shall reasonably require, and none of the Service Provider or its Affiliates shall be obligated to do or perform
any act or thing in connection with this Agreement not expressly set forth herein. Nothing herein contained in this Section 17
shall be deemed to preclude the Service Provider or its Affiliates from exercising investment responsibility, from engaging directly
or indirectly in any other business or from directly or indirectly purchasing, selling, holding or otherwise dealing with any securities
and instruments for the account of any such other business, for their own accounts, for any of their family members or for other
clients. Persons associated with the Service Provider or its Affiliates have an ownership interest in Imation as well as Accounts
managed by the Service Provider. Furthermore, certain Affiliates of the Service Provider may have greater financial interest in
the performance of such other Accounts than the performance of the Invested Equity. Imation shall not have any right to participate
in any manner in any profits or income earned or derived by or accruing to the Service Provider or any Affiliate thereof from the
conduct of any business or from any transaction in securities or instruments effected by the Service Provider or such Affiliate
for any Account.


 


		18.	CONSTRUCTION.



 


The headings herein are for convenience
only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. No specific
representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. The Parties
agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise this Agreement and, therefore,
the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed
in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments hereto.


 






    	 	20	 



     


    

 


		19.	NO THIRD-PARTY
BENEFICIARIES.



 


This Agreement is intended for
the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may
any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Clinton Indemnified Party and each Imation Indemnified
Party is an intended third party beneficiary of the indemnification provisions hereof and may enforce such provisions directly
against the Parties with obligations thereunder.


 


		20.	GOVERNING
LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.



 


All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of
New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or
any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each
Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such
Party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY
TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Deadline, file with the SEC the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Initial Registrable
Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available

Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall
file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant
to such Initial Registration Statement.


 


(b)          Subsequent
Mandatory Registration. If Subsequent Capacity Shares have been issued pursuant to the terms of the Capacity and Services Agreement
and the Subscription Agreement, then the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Subsequent
Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Subsequent Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Subsequent
Registrable Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form
as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the
provisions of Section 2(f). The Subsequent Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Subsequent Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Subsequent
Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(g). The Subsequent Registration
Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Plan of Distribution" and

    	 	6	 



     


    

 


(c)          Additional
Mandatory Registrations. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing
Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable
Securities not previously registered on an Additional Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of the SEC does
not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall
file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the maximum
number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with
the SEC. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available
for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of
Section 2(f). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration
Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(g). Each Additional Registration Statement
shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Plan of Distribution" and "Selling
Stockholders" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Additional Effective
Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection
with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement.


 


(d)          Allocation
of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase
or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the
number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable
Securities or increase or decrease thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers
any of such Investor's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number
of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock included in a
Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then
held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement. In no event shall the Company include any securities other
than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.


 


(e)          Legal
Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review any registration
pursuant to this Section 2 ("Legal Counsel"), which shall be Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP or such other counsel
as thereafter designated by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing
the Company's obligations under this Agreement.


 






    	 	7	 



     


    

 


(f)          Ineligibility
for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder,
the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the
Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as reasonably practicable after
such form is available, provided that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared
effective by the SEC.


 


(g)          Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section
2(a), Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) is insufficient to cover the Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities required
to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor's allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section
2(d), the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available
therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding
the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event
not later than twenty (20) days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes
of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to
cover all of the applicable Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities" if at any time the number of shares of
Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the product determined by multiplying (i) the Required
Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90.


 






    	 	8	 



     


    

 


(h)          Effect
of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If (i) a Registration Statement covering
all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement
is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the applicable Filing Deadline (a "Filing Failure") or (B) not declared
effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (an "Effectiveness Failure") or (ii)
on any day after the applicable Effective Date sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration
Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r)) pursuant to such Registration
Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of the suspension of trading or any other limitation imposed by
an Eligible Market as a result of the Company’s failure to meet applicable listing requirements, a failure to keep such Registration
Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration
Statement, a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock (other than as a result of a limitation on the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock permitted to be registered by the staff of the SEC pursuant to Rule 415) or a failure to maintain
the listing of the Common Stock) (a "Maintenance Failure") then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder
by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not
be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance or the additional
obligation of the Company to register any Cutback Shares), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating
to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Market Value (as such term is defined
in the Subscription Agreement) of such Investor's Registrable Securities whether or not included in such Registration Statement
on each of the following dates: (i) the day of a Filing Failure; (ii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure; (iii) the initial day
of a Maintenance Failure; (iv) on the thirtieth day after the date of a Filing Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (in each
case, pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Filing Failure is cured; (v) on the thirtieth day after
the date of an Effectiveness Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (in each case, pro rated for periods totaling less than
thirty days) until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (vi) on the thirtieth day after the initial date of a Maintenance Failure
and every thirtieth day thereafter (in each case, pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Maintenance
Failure is cured. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(h) are referred to herein as "Registration
Delay Payments." Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the dates set forth above and (II) the
third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the event the Company
fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate
of one percent (1.0%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
or in the Subscription Agreement, in no event shall (i) Registration Delay Payments be payable for any period after the expiration
of the Registration Period, (ii) the aggregate amount of Registration Delay Payments to an Investor exceed, in the aggregate, ten
percent (10%) of the aggregate Market Value of such Investor's Registrable Securities on the applicable Closing Date and (ii) the
Company be obligated to make both Public Information Failure Payments (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) and Registration
Delay Payments in respect of the same securities and for any same period of time in which a failure giving rise to such payments
is deemed to have occurred.


 


3.            Related
Obligations.


 


At such time as the Company
is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(f) or 2(g), the Company will
use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method
of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:


 


(a)          The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use
its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as
soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall use reasonable
best efforts to keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earliest of (i) the date
as of which the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction
or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto)
promulgated under the 1933 Act, (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement or (iii) the date no Registrable Securities are outstanding (the "Registration Period").
The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained
therein) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein,
or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in light of the circumstances in which they were made)
not misleading. The term "reasonable best efforts" shall mean, among other things, that the Company shall submit to the
SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration
Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement,
as the case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval is immediately sought), a request
for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after
the submission of such request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that
an amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective. The Company shall include the Legal Counsel
on all substantive communications with respect to, and to receive all drafts of the Registration Statement and any amendments and
supplements thereto to be filed with the SEC.


 






    	 	9	 



     


    

 


(b)          The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule
424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration
Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until the expiration of the Registration Period. In the case of
amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant
to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing an Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report
on Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), the
Company shall, if permissible under applicable securities laws, have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration
Statement, provided, that if the foregoing is not permitted by applicable securities laws, the Company shall file such amendments
or supplements with the SEC as soon as practicable after the day the Company files the 1934 Act report which created the requirement
for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.


 


(c)          The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least four (4) Business Days
prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for amendments
and supplements filed solely to include information contained in Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current
Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC,
and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects.
The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement
thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall furnish
to Legal Counsel, without charge upon written request (including by email), (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the
staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is
prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements
and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company's obligations pursuant
to this Section 3.


 






    	 	10	 



     


    

 


(d)          The
Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge,
to the extent requested by an Investor, (i) promptly after the same is filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration
Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference,
all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies (or such
other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request) of the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and
(iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from
time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.


 


(e)          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification
applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities
or "blue sky" laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions
such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary
to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary
to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other
actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction,
or (z) file a consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each
Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of
any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose.


 






    	 	11	 



     


    

 


(f)          The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after
becoming aware of such event but in any event on the same Trading Day as becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the
prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information),
and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue
statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such
other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal
Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed,
and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall
be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or email on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request
by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information and (iii) of
the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. By 9:30
a.m. New York City time on the date following the date any post-effective amendment has become effective, the Company shall file
with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to
such Registration Statement.


 


(g)          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of
a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction.
If such an order or suspension is issued, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order
or suspension as promptly as practicable and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold
of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for such purpose.


 


(h)          If
any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an
Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the reasonable request
of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and
thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company's
independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants
to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of
counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given
in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.


 


(i)          If
any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an
Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, the Company shall make available
for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors
(collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents
and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector,
and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request;
provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an
Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which
determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement
or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered
pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information
in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement. Each Investor
agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate
action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any
other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors' ability to sell Registrable
Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.


 






    	 	12	 



     


    

 


(j)          The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless
(i) the Company determines in good faith that disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities
laws, (ii) the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement
or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that
it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body
of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor's
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.


 


(k)          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement
to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed,
if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) if the Company
is unsuccessful in satisfying clause (i), secure the inclusion for quotation of all of the Registrable Securities on another Eligible
Market for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its reasonable best efforts
to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. as such with respect
to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses (other than the fees of Legal Counsel) in connection
with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k).


 


(l)          The
Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities
to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the
case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.


 






    	 	13	 



     


    

 


(m)          If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold,
the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering;
(ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to
be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration
Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.


 


(n)          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.


 


(o)          The
Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after
the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions
of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter
next following the applicable Effective Date of a Registration Statement.


 


(p)          The
Company shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection
with any registration hereunder.


 


(q)          Within
two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the
Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.


 


(r)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Company (i) may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company
the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, in the best interest
of the Company and, in accordance with advice of counsel to the Company, not otherwise required and may postpone effecting a registration
or (ii) may suspend the use of a Registration Statement for periods coinciding with any "blackout" period under the Company's
insider trading policy (a "Grace Period"); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors
in writing of the existence of material, non-public information or the "blackout" period giving rise to a Grace Period
and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period
ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed sixty (60) consecutive days and during any three hundred sixty five
(365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of one hundred twenty (180) days and the first day of any Grace
Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an "Allowable Grace Period").
For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors
receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice
referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable
during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Allowable Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound
by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information
is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, subject to applicable securities laws, the Company shall cause
its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of
the Subscription Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Registration Statement
with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Investor's receipt of the notice of a Grace
Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.


 






    	 	14	 



     


    

 


(s)          Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing
with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market and any Investor being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve
the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the "Plan of Distribution" section
attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement.


 


4.            Obligations
of the Investors.


 


(a)          At
least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated Filing Date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each
Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such
Investor's Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular
Investor that: (i) such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held
by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect
and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and (ii) such Investor shall execute such documents
in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.


 


(b)          Each
Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested
by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has
notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities from such
Registration Statement.


 






    	 	15	 



     


    

 


(c)          Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement
or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to applicable securities laws, the
Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance
with the terms of the Subscription Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Registration
Statement with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt of a notice from
the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which
the Investor has not yet settled.


 


(d)          Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it
or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.


 


(e)          In
connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders,
each Investor agrees to execute a market standoff agreement with the underwriters for such offering in customary form covering
all Registrable Securities held by such Investor, provided that all executive officers and directors of the Company and all other
holders of at least 5% of the Company’s voting securities enter into similar agreements requiring each Investor to be treated
no less favorably than any other party to such an agreement as to any releases or modifications. The underwriters in connection
with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4(e) and shall have the right and power to enforce
the provisions of this Section 4(e) as though they were a party hereto.


 


5.            Expenses
of Registration.


 


All reasonable expenses,
other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant
to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall also reimburse the
Investors for the fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to
Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement which amount shall be limited to $10,000 for each such registration, filing or qualification.


 






    	 	16	 



     


    

 


6.            Indemnification.


 


In the event any Registrable
Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:


 


(a)          To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the
directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses,
joint or several (collectively, "Claims"), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim,
suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative
or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a
party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions
or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing
made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction
in which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such
Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof
or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any
state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being,
collectively, "Violations"). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly
as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon
a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified
Person or its representatives for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim
if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified
Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to reimburse the Investors for the expenses of more than one
counsel to all Investors.


 






    	 	17	 



     


    

 


(b)          In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not
jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or Indemnified
Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified
Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection
with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution
contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that
the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed
the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party
and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.


 


(c)          Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall,
if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party
a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the
case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel
with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable,
the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and the indemnifying party
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and
any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to
in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall
reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement or other compromise which: (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation or (ii)
includes any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties,
firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to
the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party
of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.


 






    	 	18	 



     


    

 


(d)          The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.


 


(e)          The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject
to pursuant to the law.


 


7.            Contribution.


 


To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however,
that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved
in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller
of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.


 


8.            Reports
Under the 1934 Act.


 


With a view to making
available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the
SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule
144"), the Company agrees to:


 


(a)          make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;


 


(b)          file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so
long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required under the
applicable provisions of Rule 144; and


 






    	 	19	 



     


    

 


(c)          furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other
information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.


 


9.            Assignment
of Registration Rights.


 


The rights under this
Agreement shall be assignable (but only with all related obligations) by the Subscriber to any transferee of all or any portion
of the Subscriber's Registrable Securities if: (i) the Subscriber agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such
rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company
is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such
transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned;
(iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the securities held by the transferee or assignee constitute Registrable
Securities; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the
transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) the Subscriber
demonstrates to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that such transfer has been made in accordance with the applicable requirements
of the Subscription Agreement. Upon the Company's receipt of the documents referenced in (i), (ii) and (iv) above, the transferee
shall thereafter be deemed to be an "Investor." Except for any assignment in accordance with this Section 9, this Agreement
and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each of the
other parties hereto.


 


10.          Amendment
of Registration Rights.


 


Provisions of this Agreement
may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance
with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that
it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities, unless all such holders agree in writing. No consideration
shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless
the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.


 


11.          Miscellaneous.


 


(a)          A
Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the
same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record
owner of such Registrable Securities.

(b)          Any

is delivered via facsimile or e-mail at the facsimile number or e-mail address specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New

, or to such other address, facsimile number
and/or email address to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each
other party two (2) days prior to the effectiveness of such change in accordance with this Section 11(b). Written confirmation
of receipt (i) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (ii) mechanically or electronically
generated by the sender's facsimile machine or e-mail transmission containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number or e-mail
address and an image of the first page of such transmission or (iii) provided by a courier or overnight courier service shall be
rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from a nationally recognized overnight delivery service

(c)          In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in any of the other Transaction Documents or granted by law,
including recovery of damages, the Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.
Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents shall be entitled
to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement or such other Transaction Documents and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the
Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under any of
the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Investors. The Company therefore agrees that
the Investors shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable
relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting
a bond or other security. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a
party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.


 






    	 	22	 



     


    

 


(d)          All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the
State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the
State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting
in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action
or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding
is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT
TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 


(e)          If
any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations
of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s),
the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).


 


(f)          This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings,
other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments
referenced herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof.

(g)          Subject
to the requirements of Section 9, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and
assigns of each of the parties hereto. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Required Holders.


 


(h)          The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general
representation or warranty. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity
to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments
hereto.


 


(i)          This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood
that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or
by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) filed of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create
a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force
and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.


 


(j)          Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver
all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry
out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


(k)          All
consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise
specified in this Agreement, by the Required Holders.


 


(l)          This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for
the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnified Person and Indemnified
Party is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 6 and may enforce the provisions of such Section directly against
the parties with obligations thereunder.


 


(m)          The
obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no provision of
this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on any Investor vis-à-vis any other Investor. Nothing contained herein,
and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as
a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein.


 






    	 	24	 



     


    

 


(n)          To
the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Investors hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction
Documents or the Investors enforce or exercise their respective rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or
the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries by a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state
or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made
or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


Reference
is made that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2016 (the "Subscription
Agreement"), entered into by and among Imation Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and the
subscriber named therein (collectively, the "Holders") pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders shares
(the "Capacity Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock").
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the resale
of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the Capacity Shares under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration
Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 201_, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-_____________)
(the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating
to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.


 


In connection with the
foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC's staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered an order
declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER
DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any
stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened
by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.


 





	 	Very truly yours,

SELLING STOCKHOLDER


 


The common stock being
offered by the selling stockholder are those previously issued to the selling stockholder. For additional information regarding
the issuances of those shares of common stock, see "Private Placement of Common Shares " above. We are registering the
shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholder to offer the shares for resale from time to time. The selling
stockholder has not had any material relationship with us within the past three years, except for (i) the ownership of the shares
of common stock, (ii) the entry into the Capacity and Services Agreement, (iii) the fact that Mr. Joseph A. DePerio, an employee
of the Selling Stockholder, serves as a member of our board of directors and (iv) the fact that the selling stockholder manages
$35 million of our excess cash for investment in Clinton Lighthouse Equities Strategy Fund (Offshore), a fund managed by the selling
stockholder.


 


The table below lists
the selling stockholder and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder.
The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder, based on its ownership
of the shares of common stock, as of ________, 201_.


 


The third column lists
the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholder.


 


In accordance with
the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholder, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least
the maximum number of shares of common stock issued as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination
and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement. The fourth column assumes the sale of all
of the shares offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.

(1) George Hall, as
the President of Clinton Group, Inc. ("CGI"), is deemed to have voting power and dispositive power with respect to all
shares as to which CGI has voting power or dispositive power. Accordingly, CGI and Mr. Hall are deemed to have shared voting and
shared dispositive power with respect to all of the Company's securities beneficially owned by CGI. Mr. Hall disclaim beneficial
ownership of any and all such securities in excess of his actual pecuniary interest therein.


 




    	 	Annex I-2	 



     


    

 


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


 


We are registering
the shares of common stock previously issued to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders thereof and holders
of the shares of common stock warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds
from the sale by the selling stockholder of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation
to register the shares of common stock.


 


The selling stockholder
may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly
or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers,
the selling stockholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The shares of common
stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying
prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve
crosses or block transactions,


 


		·	on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed
or quoted at the time of sale;



 


		·	in the over-the-counter market;



 


		·	in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;



 


		·	through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;



 


		·	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;



 


		·	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;



 


		·	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;



 


		·	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;



 


		·	privately negotiated transactions;



 


		·	short sales;



 


		·	sales pursuant to Rule 144;



 


		·	broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares
at a stipulated price per share;



 






    	 	Annex I-3	 



     


    

 


		·	a combination of any such methods of sale; and



 


		·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.



 


If the selling stockholder
effects such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder
or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal
(which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those
customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling
stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common
stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of common stock short and
deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection
with such short sales. The selling stockholder may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may
sell such shares.


 


The selling stockholder
may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default
in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock
from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee
or other successors in interest as selling stockholder under this prospectus. The selling stockholder also may transfer and donate
the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest
will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.


 


The selling stockholder
and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares
of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of
shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents,
any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholder and any discounts, commissions
or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.


 


Under the securities
laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for
sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.


 






    	 	Annex I-4	 



     


    

 


There can be no assurance
that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement,
of which this prospectus forms a part.


 


The selling stockholder
and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act,
which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder and any other
participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common
stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability
of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the
shares of common stock.


 


We will pay all expenses
of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[     ]
in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities
or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that the selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts
and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholder against liabilities, including some liabilities under
the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution.
We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that
may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance
with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.


 


Once sold under the
registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands
of persons other than our affiliates.
