SUBSCRIPTION,
Voting AND REDEMPTION Agreement


  


This Subscription,
Voting and Redemption Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 19th day of May, 2022, between Exela
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and GP-HGM LLC (the “Holder”,
together with the Company, the “Parties” and each a “Party”).


 


WHEREAS, the Nasdaq
Stock Market has notified the Company that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for the Company’s
common stock (the “Common Stock”) to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company’s board of directors
(the “Board of Directors”) has proposed an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company to effect a
reverse stock split of between 1 for 2 and 1 for 20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with the primary intent of increasing
the price of the Common Stock in order to meet that requirement (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”);


 


WHEREAS, the Company
believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred
Stock of the Company by up to an additional 20,000,000 shares (the “Preferred Stock Increase”) and the Company’s
board of directors has proposed an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Preferred
Stock Increase Amendment”) to be submitted for stockholder approval at the Company’s annual meeting (the “Preferred
Stock Increase Proposal”);


 


WHEREAS, in order for
each of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the Preferred Stock Increase Proposal to be adopted, each must be approved by the holders
of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon;


 


WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors believes that the delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market would likely have a material adverse effect
on the liquidity of the market for the Common Stock and the price at which the Common Stock would trade;


 


WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors is concerned that while the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and Tandem Preferred Stock may favor the Reverse
Stock Split and the Preferred Stock Increase, the Company will not be able to obtain the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Common Stock and Tandem Preferred Stock in favor of the amendments to effect the Reverse Stock Split and the Preferred Stock Increase
due to the widely dispersed stock holdings of the Company’s stockholders (as of April 21, 2022 there were over 100,000 beneficial
owners of Common Stock), the advice of the Company’s proxy solicitor, and the Company’s most recent annual meeting of stockholders
where the Company had difficulty obtaining a quorum of shares, which at the time required a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock;


 


WHEREAS, as a result
of the difficulty of obtaining a quorum of shares at the most recent annual meeting, the Company postponed the meeting in order to amend
its bylaws to reduce the quorum requirement and to solicit additional proxies;


 


WHEREAS, the
Company has created a separate class of preferred stock, the Special Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
 “Special Voting Stock”) by resolutions of the Board of Directors as set forth in a Certificate of Designation
dated May 19, 2022 (the “Certificate of Designation”) and is entering into this Agreement with Holder for the
sole purpose of ensuring that if a majority of the votes cast by holders of shares of Common Stock and Tandem Preferred Stock at the
Annual Meeting are in favor of each of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the Preferred Stock Increase Proposal, that the Reverse
Stock Split Proposal and the Preferred Stock Increase Proposal will be approved under Delaware law, enabling the Company to effect
the Reverse Stock Split and the Preferred Stock Increase and maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital
Market;


 






     1


     


    

 


WHEREAS,
to avoid the risk that a holder of the Company’s debt securities will assert that the issuance of the Special Voting Shares will
constitute a ‘Change of Control’ under the applicable agreement, the Company has requested that Holder, as an affiliate of
HandsOn Global Management LLC act as the Holder hereunder; and


 


WHEREAS,
the Company and the Holder have agreed to enter into this Agreement to provide for, among other things, the issuance, voting and redemption
of the Special Voting Shares on the terms set forth herein.

Upon the issuance of the Special

Holder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to vote the Special Voting Shares solely to the extent and
in the manner specified in Section 3.1. This proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of the Holder under this Agreement,
and its existence will not be deemed to relieve the Holder of its obligations under Section 3.1. The proxy and power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be irrevocable, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support
an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Holder with regard to the Special Voting Shares, and the
Holder acknowledges that the proxy constitutes an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement. The power of attorney granted
by the Holder is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death or incapacity of the Holder. The proxy

Split Proposal has concluded and the polls on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal have closed and (b) the date on which the voting on
the Preferred Stock Increase Proposal has concluded and the polls on the Preferred Stock Increase Proposal have closed (the “Redemption
Date”), pursuant to and accordance with the Certificate of Designation. The Special Voting Shares will be so redeemed at an
aggregate price of $100 and shall be effected on the books of the Company. Following the redemption by the Company of the Special Voting
Shares on the Redemption Date, the Holder shall have no further right, title or interest in or to the Special Voting Shares, whether under
the Certificate of Designation, this Agreement or otherwise, and this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with Section 6.3.


 






     6


     


    

 


		3.4	No Transfer



 


From the date hereof through
the Redemption Date, without the Company’s prior written consent, the Holder agrees not to (a) Transfer the Special Voting
Shares or any interest therein (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the
Transfer (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise)) to any third party or
(b) deposit the Special Voting Shares into a voting trust or, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, enter into a voting
agreement or arrangement with respect thereto or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto. Any Transfer or attempted
Transfer of the Special Voting Shares in violation of this Section 3.4 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be null and
void ab initio.


 


		3.5	Indemnification



 


The Company shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Holder, its directors and officers, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively,
 “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments,
fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as
a party or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), promptly as incurred, arising out of, based upon or resulting from (A) the
Holder’s entry into this Agreement or the taking of any actions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) the Holder’s ownership
or voting of the Special Voting Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not
apply to Losses to the extent that they have resulted from the fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The
right of indemnification provided hereunder includes the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent
in a proceeding or action in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding and without any determination as to such person’s
ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, payment of such expenses incurred by any such person in advance of the final disposition
of a claim or proceeding will be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such person of its good faith belief
that it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification hereunder and a written undertaking by such person to repay all
amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to be indemnified
hereunder. Promptly after its receipt of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding, any Indemnified Person will notify the
Company in writing of the commencement thereof. If the Company so elects, it may assume the defense of such action or proceeding in a
timely manner, including the employment of counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person) and payment of expenses, provided
the Company permit an Indemnified Person and counsel retained by an Indemnified Person at such Indemnified Person’s expense to participate
in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (i) the Company fails to promptly assume the defense and employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, or (ii) the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that there exist actual
or potential conflicting interests between the Company and its counsel and such Indemnified Person, an Indemnified Person may employ separate
counsel (in addition to local counsel) to represent or defend such Indemnified Person in such action or proceeding, and the Company agrees
to pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel as incurred; provided however, that the Company will not, in connection with
any one such action or proceeding, or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations,
be liable for fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel). The Company agrees not
to waive, release or settle any action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder without the prior written
consent of the applicable Indemnified Person, unless such waiver, release or settlement includes no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified
Person. The Company shall not be liable to an Indemnified Person under this Agreement for amounts paid in settlement of any threatened
or pending claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement without the
Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

		6.10	Further Assurances



 


Each of the Parties hereto
shall, from time to time hereafter and upon any reasonable request of the other, promptly do, execute, deliver or cause to be done, executed
and delivered all further acts, documents and things as may be required or necessary for the purposes of giving effect to this Agreement.

effect the original intent of the Parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated
hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
