          members (each, a “Director”), unless expanded in accordance with the By-laws, Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Designation.

       

      (b)          Except as

      (d)          Any Designating Stockholder shall have the right at any time to remove (with or without cause) its Stockholder Designees and each other Stockholder shall vote all shares of Common Stock over which such Stockholder has voting
          control and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions within such Stockholder’s control (including in its capacity as stockholder, Director, member of a board committee or officer of the Company or otherwise, and whether at a regular or

          Designee of such Designating Stockholder.

       

      (e)          In the event of a vacancy on the Board at any time and for any reason (whether as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal pursuant to Section

              2.01(d)), a Designating Stockholder who has the right to designate a Stockholder Designee as a result of such vacancy shall have the right to designate a different Stockholder Designee to replace such Director and each other

          of a board committee or officer of the Company or otherwise, and whether at a regular or special meeting of the Stockholders or by written consent in lieu of a meeting) to elect to the Board such Stockholder Designee.

       

      (f)          The Board shall have the right to establish any committee of Directors as the Board shall deem appropriate from time to time. Subject to this Agreement, the Organizational Documents and Applicable Law, committees of the Board
          shall have the rights, powers and privileges granted to such committee by the Board from time to time. Any delegation of authority to a committee of Directors to take any action must be approved in the same manner as would be required for the

          Agreement; provided, however, that except as it relates to the

          otherwise agreeing in writing to, the use of net proceeds received by Healthcare LLC in connection with a HC Subsidiary Sale (as that term is defined in the Healthcare LLC Agreement) in any manner other than in accordance with the terms of the
          Healthcare LLC Agreement; or

       

      (v)         (A) amending the definitions of
          “Liquidity” or “Required Liquidity Level” in the Healthcare LLC Agreement, (B) waiving Healthcare LLC’s compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 5.13 of the Healthcare LLC Agreement, or (C) appointing the Operational Advisor (as such

        of the Board that such representative intends to attend, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, the “Observer”) and, in this respect, shall allow the Observer to
        have access to copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to Directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such Directors; provided, however, that such representative shall agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided; and provided further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely
        affect any attorney-work product privilege or attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel. For the avoidance of doubt, if a representative has previously been approved by a majority of the Directors to act as the Observer, such
        Observer shall not be required to obtain the prior approval of a majority of the Directors under this Section 2.04 for any subsequent meetings. As of the Effective Date,
        the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Observer shall be Julien Castello, who has been approved by a majority of the Directors as of the Effective Date.

      Section 3.01         General Restrictions on Transfer.

       

      (a)          Except as permitted pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04,
          each Stockholder agrees that such Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily Transfer any of its Capital Stock.

       

      (b)          Subject to Section 3.01(g), the provisions of Section 3.01(a),
          Section 3.02, Section 3.03 and Section 3.04 shall not apply to Transfers by any Stockholder of any of its Capital Stock to a Permitted Transferee or to the extent such Transfer is unanimously approved by the Board.

       

      
        14

        
          

      

      (c)          In addition to any legends required by Applicable Law, each certificate, if certificated, or book entry record representing the Capital Stock of the Company shall bear a legend or recordation of restriction
          substantially in the following form:

       

      “THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF
        THE COMPANY). NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT AND (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE
        UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.  THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT.”

       

      (d)          Prior notice shall be given to the Company by the transferor of any Transfer (whether or not to a Permitted Transferee) of any Capital Stock. Prior to consummation of any Transfer by any Stockholder of any of its Capital Stock
          hereunder to a Permitted Transferee, subject to Section 3.01(f), such party shall cause the transferee thereof to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder Agreement
          and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon any Transfer by any Stockholder of any of its Capital Stock, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee thereof shall be substituted for, and shall
          assume all the rights and obligations under this Agreement of, the transferor thereof.

       

      (e)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Stockholder agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of its Capital Stock (i) except as permitted under the Securities Act and other applicable
          federal or state securities laws, and then, if requested by the Company, only upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such Transfer may be effected without
          registration under the Securities Act, (ii) if it would cause a member of the Company Group or Healthcare LLC to be required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act or to rely on the exemptions
          from registration set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act, or (iii) if it would cause the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be deemed plan assets as defined under the Employee Retirement
          Income Security Act of 1974 or its accompanying regulations or result in any “prohibited transaction” thereunder involving the Company. In any event, the Board may refuse any Transfer of Capital Stock to any Person if such Transfer would have a
          material adverse effect on the Company as a result of any regulatory or other restrictions imposed by any Governmental Authority.

       

      (f)          Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Capital Stock in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books and the purported transferee in any such Transfer shall not
          be treated (and the purported transferor shall continue be treated) as the owner of such Capital Stock for all purposes of this Agreement.

       

      (g)          Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, GEG hereby agrees that until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, GEG shall not pledge any of the Capital Stock of the Company owned or controlled by
          GEG.

       

      Section 3.02          Right of First Refusal.

       

      (a)          Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.01(g), if at any time a Stockholder (such Stockholder, an “Offering Stockholder”) receives a bona fide offer from any Third Party Purchaser to purchase all or any portion of the Capital Stock (the “Offered

              Shares”) owned by the Offering Stockholder and the Offering Stockholder desires to Transfer the Offered Shares (other than Transfers that are permitted by Section
              3.01(b) or Transfers made pursuant to Section 3.03, as applicable), then the Offering Stockholder must first make an offering of the Offered Shares to
          each other Stockholder in accordance with Section 3.02(d) (each such Stockholder, a “ROFR Rightholder”)

          in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.02. Any right of first refusal and the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.02 shall be applied separately on a class-by-class and series-by-series basis for each class or series of Offered Shares, as applicable (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall mean that if the
          Offered Shares are shares of Common Stock, only Common Stockholders shall be considered ROFR Rightholders and if the Offered Shares are shares of Preferred Stock, only stockholders of the Company holding such series or class of Preferred Stock
          shall be considered ROFR Rightholders).

       

      
        15

        
          

      

      (b)          The Offering Stockholder shall, within five Business Days of receipt of the offer from the Third Party Purchaser, give written notice (the “Offering Stockholder
              Notice”) to the Company and the ROFR Rightholders stating that it has received a bona fide offer from a Third Party Purchaser and specifying:

       

      (i)          the number
          of Offered Shares to be Transferred by the Offering Stockholder;

       

      (ii)         the
          identity of the Third Party Purchaser;

       

      (iii)        the per
          share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and

       

      (iv)        the
          proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Transfer, which shall not be less than 30 Business Day from the date of the Offering Stockholder Notice.

       

      The Offering Stockholder Notice shall constitute the Offering Stockholder’s offer to
        Transfer the Offered Shares to the ROFR Rightholders, which offer shall be irrevocable until the end of the ROFR Notice Period.

       

      (c)          By delivering the Offering Stockholder Notice, the Offering Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company and to each ROFR Rightholder that: (i) the Offering Stockholder has full right, title and interest in and to the
          Offered Shares; (ii) the Offering Stockholder has all the necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to Transfer such Offered Shares as contemplated by this Section

              3.02; and (iii) the Offered Shares are free and clear of any and all Liens other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.

       

      (d)          Upon receipt of the Offering Stockholder Notice, each ROFR Rightholder shall have ten Business Days (the “ROFR Notice Period”) to
          elect to purchase all (and not less than all) of such ROFR Rightholder’s pro rata portion of the Offered Shares, as determined in accordance with Section 3.02(d), by
          delivering a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) to the Offering Stockholder and the Company stating that it offers to purchase such Offered Shares on the terms specified
          in the Offering Stockholder Notice. Any ROFR Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the applicable ROFR Rightholder. If more than one ROFR Rightholder delivers a ROFR Notice, each such ROFR Rightholder (the “Purchasing Stockholder”) shall be allocated the number of shares equal to the product of (x) the total number of Offered Shares and (y) a fraction determined by dividing (A)
          the number of shares of Capital Stock of the same class or series as the Offered Shares owned by such Purchasing Stockholder as of the date of the Offering Stockholder Notice, by (B) the total number of shares of the same class or series as the
          Offered Shares owned by all of the Purchasing Stockholders as of such date.

       

      
        16

        
          

      

      (e)          Each ROFR Rightholder that does not deliver a ROFR Notice during the ROFR Notice Period shall be deemed to have waived all of such ROFR Rightholder’s rights to purchase the Offered Shares under this Section 3.02.

       

      (f)          If no Stockholder delivers a ROFR Notice in accordance with Section 3.02(d), the Offering Stockholder may, during the 30 Business Day period
          immediately following the expiration of the ROFR Notice Period, which period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed 60 Business Days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals (the “Waived ROFR Transfer Period”) and subject to the provisions of Section 3.04, Transfer all of
          the Offered Shares to the Third Party Purchaser on terms and conditions no more favorable to the Third Party Purchaser than those set forth in the Offering Stockholder Notice. If the Offering Stockholder does not Transfer the Offered Shares
          within such period or, if such Transfer is not consummated within the Waived ROFR Transfer Period, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and the Offered Shares shall not be Transferred to the Third Party Purchaser unless the
          Offering Stockholder sends a new Offering Stockholder Notice in accordance with, and otherwise complies with, this Section 3.02.

       

      (g)          Each Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Transfer contemplated by this Section 3.02, including
          entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.

       

      (h)          At the closing of any Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.02, the Offering Stockholder shall deliver to the Purchasing Stockholders the certificate or
          certificates representing the Offered Shares to be sold (if any), accompanied by stock powers and all necessary stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary, against receipt of the purchase price therefor from such Purchasing
          Stockholders by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

       

      (i)          Notwithstanding

          anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.02, the consideration to be received by the Offering Stockholder with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock
          shall not exceed the applicable Redemption Price per share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of the Transfer.

       

      Section 3.03          Drag-along Rights.

       

      (a)          If at any time a Stockholder or one or more Stockholders who (together with its or their Permitted Transferees) holds no less than 51% of the outstanding Common Stock (collectively, the “Dragging Stockholder”), receives a bona fide offer from a Third Party Purchaser to consummate, in one transaction, or a series of related transactions, a Change of Control
          (a “Drag-along Sale”), the Dragging Stockholder shall have the right to require that each other Common Stockholder (each, a “Drag-along Common Stockholder”) and, at its election, the Preferred Stockholder (each, a “Drag-along Preferred Stockholder,” together
          with the Drag-along Common Stockholders, the “Drag-along Stockholders” and each, a “Drag-along
              Stockholder”) participate in such Transfer in the manner set forth in this Section 3.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each
          Drag-along Stockholder shall vote in favor of the transaction and take all actions to waive any dissenters, appraisal or other similar rights.

       

      (b)          The Dragging Stockholder shall exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 3.03 by delivering a written notice (the “Drag-along Notice”) to the Company and each Drag-along Stockholder no later than 20 Business Days prior to the closing date of such Drag-along Sale. The Drag-along Notice shall make reference to the
          Dragging Stockholder’s rights and obligations hereunder and shall describe in reasonable detail:

       

      
        17

        
          

      

      (i)          (A) the
          number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Dragging Stockholder, and (B) an acknowledgement that all shares of Preferred Stock shall be transferred by each Drag-along Preferred Stockholder and in regards to the Series A Preferred Stock,
          for the consideration set forth in Section 3.03(d);

       

      (ii)         the
          identity of the Third Party Purchaser;

       

      (iii)        the
          proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Drag-along Sale;

       

      (iv)        the per
          share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and

       

      (v)         a copy of
          any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.

       

      (c)          If the Drag-along Sale is structured as a Transfer of Common Stock, then, subject to Section 3.03(d), the Dragging Stockholder and each Drag-along
          Common Stockholder shall Transfer the number of shares equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock the Third Party Purchaser proposes to buy as stated in the Drag-along Notice and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator
          of which is equal to the number of shares of Common  Stock then held by such Dragging Stockholder or Drag-along Common Stockholder, as the case may be, and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares then held by all of the
          Common Stockholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Dragging Stockholder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.03, if the
          Drag-along Sale is structured as a Transfer of Capital Stock and the Dragging Stockholder is requiring the sale of Preferred Stock in connection therewith, then, subject to Section

              3.03(d), the each Drag-along Preferred Stockholder shall Transfer all shares of Preferred Stock held by such Drag-along Preferred Stockholder.

       

      (d)          The consideration to be received by a Drag-along Stockholder shall be the same form and amount of consideration per share of Common Stock to be received by the Dragging Stockholder (or, if the Dragging Stockholder is given an
          option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, the same option shall be given) and the terms and conditions of such Transfer shall, except as otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, be
          the same as those upon which the Dragging Stockholder Transfers its Common Stock; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
          forth in this Section 3.03, the consideration to be received by the Drag-along Preferred Stockholder with respect to its shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not
          exceed the applicable Redemption Price per share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of the Transfer. Each Drag-along Stockholder shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the
          Dragging Stockholder makes or provides in connection with the Drag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Dragging Stockholder, the Drag-along
          Stockholder shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself and its holdings); provided,

          that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Dragging Stockholder and each Drag-along Stockholder severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation shall be pro rata based on the
          consideration received by the Dragging Stockholder and each Drag-along Stockholder, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by the Dragging Stockholder and each such Drag-along Stockholder in connection with the
          Drag-along Sale; and provided, further, that a Drag-along Stockholder shall not be required to agree to a non-competition covenant.

       

      
        18

        
          

      

      (e)          The fees and expenses of the Dragging Stockholder incurred in connection with a Drag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Dragging Stockholder for its
          sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Third Party Purchaser, shall be shared by all the Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the aggregate
          consideration received by each Stockholder.

       

      (f)          Each Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Drag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the
          agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Dragging Stockholder.

       

      (g)         The Dragging Stockholder shall have 90 Business Days following the date of the Drag-along Notice in which to consummate the Drag-along Sale, on the terms set forth in the Drag-along Notice (which such 90 Business Day period may
          be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional 90 Business Days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals).  If at the end of such period, the Dragging Stockholder has not completed the Drag-along Sale,
          the Dragging Stockholder may not then effect a transaction subject to this Section 3.03 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 3.03.

       

      Section 3.04         Tag-along Rights.

       

      (a)          If at any time a Stockholder or one or more Stockholders who (together with its or their Permitted Transferees) holds no less than 51% of the outstanding Common Stock (collectively, the “Selling Stockholder”) proposes to Transfer any shares of its Capital Stock (the “Tag-along Stock”)

          to a Third Party Purchaser (the “Proposed Transferee”) and the Selling Stockholder cannot or has not elected to exercise its drag-along rights set forth in Section 3.03, if any, each other Stockholder (each, a “Tag-along Stockholder”) shall be
          permitted to participate in such Transfer (a “Tag-along Sale”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.04. The participation right and the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.04 shall be applied separately on a class-by-class
          and series-by-series basis for each class and series of Tag-along Stock, as applicable (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall mean that if the Tag-along Sale involves shares of Common Stock, only Common Stockholders
          shall be considered Tag-along Stockholders and if the Tag-along Sale involves shares of Preferred Stock, only Preferred Stockholders shall be considered Tag-along Stockholders). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04, the Stockholders acknowledge and agree that if the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participate in a Tag-along Sale, the per share purchase price for
          each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall not exceed the applicable Redemption Price per share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of the Tag-along Sale.

       

      (b)          Prior to the consummation of any such Transfer of Capital Stock described in Section 3.04(a), and after satisfying its obligations pursuant to Section 3.02, the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company and each other Stockholder a written notice (a “Sale Notice”) of the proposed Tag-along Sale subject to this Section 3.04 no later than 10 Business Days prior to the closing date of the
          Tag-along Sale. The Sale Notice shall make reference to the Tag-along Stockholders’ rights hereunder and shall describe in reasonable detail:

       

      
        19

        
          

      

      (i)          The
          class(es) or series and applicable aggregate number of shares of Tag-along Stock the Proposed Transferee has offered to purchase;

       

      (ii)         the
          identity of the Proposed Transferee;

       

      (iii)        the
          proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Tag-along Sale;

       

      (iv)        the per
          share purchase price for each applicable class or series of Tag-along Stock and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof;
          and

       

      (v)          a copy of
          any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.

       

      For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a Tag-along Sale involves more than one class or series of Tag-along Stock, the
        Selling Stockholder may deliver a single Tag-along Notice to the Company and each other Stockholder.

       

      (c)          Each Tag-along Stockholder shall exercise its right to participate in a Transfer of Capital Stock by the Selling Stockholder subject to this Section 3.04
          by delivering to the Selling Stockholder a written notice (a “Tag-along Notice”) stating its election to do so and specifying the number of shares of Capital Stock to be
          Transferred by it no later than five Business Days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Tag-along Period”). The offer of each Tag-along Stockholder set forth in a
          Tag-along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Tag-along Stockholder shall be bound and obligated to Transfer in the proposed Transfer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.04. The Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer in a Transfer subject to this Section 3.04 the number of shares of Capital Stock equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of the particular class or series of Tag-along Stock, as the case may be, set forth in the Sale Notice
          and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of such particular class or series of Tag-along Stock then held by the Selling Stockholder or such Tag-along Stockholder, as the case may be, and (B) the denominator
          of which is equal to the number of shares of such particular class or series of Tag-along Stock then held by all of the Stockholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Selling Stockholder).

       

      (d)          Each Tag-along Stockholder who does not deliver a Tag-along Notice in compliance with Section 3.04(c) above shall be deemed to have
          waived all of such Tag-along Stockholder’s rights to participate in such Transfer, and the Selling Stockholder shall (subject to the rights of any participating Tag-along Stockholder) thereafter be free to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee its
          shares of Tag-along Stock at a per share price that is no greater than the per share price set forth in the Sale Notice and on other same terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Selling Stockholder than those set forth
          in the Sale Notice without any further obligation to the non-accepting Tag-along Stockholders.

       

      (e)          Subject to Section 3.04(a), each Tag-along Stockholder participating in a Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall receive the same consideration per share as the Selling Stockholder after deduction of such Tag-along Stockholder’s proportionate share of the related expenses in accordance with Section 3.04(g) below.

       

      
        20

        
          

      

      (f)          Each Tag-along Stockholder shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Selling Stockholder makes or provides in connection with the Tag-along Sale (except that in the
          case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Stockholder, the Tag-along Stockholder shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements
          pertaining specifically to itself and its holdings); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the
          Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation in respect of breaches of representations and warranties shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by the Selling
          Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by the Selling Stockholder and each such Tag-along Stockholder in connection with any Tag-along Sale.

       

      (g)          The fees and expenses of the Selling Stockholder incurred in connection with a Tag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholder for its
          sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Proposed Transferee, shall be shared by all the Stockholders participating in the Tag-along Sale on a pro
          rata basis, based on the aggregate consideration received by each such Stockholder.

       

      (h)          Each Tag-along Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the
          agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Selling Stockholder.

       

      (i)          The Selling Stockholder shall have 90 Business Days following the expiration of the Tag-along Period in which to Transfer the shares of Capital Stock described in the Sale Notice, on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice (which
          such 90 Business Day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional 90 Business Days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). If at the end of such period, the Selling Stockholder has not
          completed such Transfer, the Selling Stockholder may not then effect a Transfer of Capital Stock subject to this Section 3.04 without again fully complying with the
          provisions of this Section 3.04.

       

      (j)          If the Selling Stockholder Transfers to the Proposed Transferee any of its shares of Capital Stock in breach of this Section 3.04, then each Tag-along
          Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer to the Selling Stockholder, and the Selling Stockholder undertakes to purchase from each Tag-along Stockholder, the number of shares of Capital Stock that such Tag-along Stockholder

          would have had the right to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 3.04, for a per share amount and form of consideration (subject to Section 3.04(a)) and upon the terms and conditions on which the Proposed Transferee bought such Capital Stock from the Selling Stockholder, but without indemnity being
          granted by any Tag-along Stockholder to the Selling Stockholder; provided, that, nothing contained in this Section 3.04 shall preclude any Stockholder from seeking alternative remedies against such Selling Stockholder as a result of its breach of this Section

              3.04.

      ARTICLE IV

      PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS; FINANCING RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

       

      Section 4.01         Pre-emptive Right.

       

      (a)          For so long as the JPM Common Stockholder holds shares of Common Stock, the Company hereby grants to the JPM Common Stockholder the right to purchase any portion of any New Common Securities (other than any Excluded Securities)
          that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any Person.

       

      (b)          For so long
          as the JPM Preferred Stockholder holds shares of Preferred Stock, the Company hereby grants to the JPM Preferred Stockholder the right to purchase any portion of any New Preferred Securities (other than any Excluded Securities) that the Company
          may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any Person.

       

      (c)          The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance or sale described in subsections (a) or (b) to the JPM Common
          Stockholder or the JPM Preferred Stockholder, as applicable, within five Business Days following any meeting of the Board at which any such issuance or sale is approved. The Issuance Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the
          proposed issuance, including:

       

      (i)          the number
          of New Securities proposed to be issued and the percentage of the Company’s outstanding Capital Stock that such issuance would represent;

       

      (ii)         the
          proposed issuance date, which shall be at least 20 Business Days from the date of the Issuance Notice; and

       

      (iii)        the
          proposed purchase price per share.

       

      (d)          The JPM Common Stockholder or the JPM Preferred Stockholder, as applicable, shall for a period of 15 Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Exercise Period”) have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase, at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice, any or all of the New Securities by delivering a
          written notice to the Company. The JPM Common Stockholder’s or the JPM Preferred Stockholder’s election, as applicable, to purchase New Securities shall be binding and irrevocable. If the JPM Common Stockholder or the JPM Preferred Stockholder,
          as applicable, fails to deliver such written notice of their election within the Exercise Period in accordance with this Section 4.01(d), the JPM Common Stockholder or
          the JPM Preferred Stockholder, as applicable, shall be deemed to have waived all of its preemptive rights with respect to any such issuance.

       

      (e)         The Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to any New Securities not elected to be purchased
          pursuant to Section 4.01(d) above in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New
          Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced) so long as such issuance or sale is closed within 30 Business Days after the expiration of the Exercise Period (subject to the extension of such 30 Business Day period for a
          reasonable time not to exceed 60 Business Days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or
          sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the JPM Common Stockholder or the JPM Preferred Stockholder, as applicable, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the time requirements provided for in this Section 4.01(e)
          shall not apply in the event the JPM Common Stockholder or the JPM Preferred Stockholder, as applicable, is deemed to have waived all of its preemptive rights with respect to such issuance or sale as a result of failing to deliver timely notice
          pursuant to Section 4.01(d).

       

      
        22

        
          

      

      (f)          Upon the consummation of the issuance of any New Securities in accordance with this Section 4.01, the Company shall deliver to the JPM Common
          Stockholder or the JPM Preferred Stockholder, as applicable, certificates (if any) evidencing the New Securities, which New Securities shall be issued free and clear of any Liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to the
          actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to the JPM Common
          Stockholder or the JPM Preferred Stockholder, as applicable, and after payment therefor, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The JPM Common Stockholder or the JPM Preferred Stockholder, as applicable, shall deliver to
          the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it, at the Company’s option, by certified or official bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take
          all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.

       

      Section 4.02         Financing Right of First Refusal.

       

      (a)          So long as the JPM Preferred Stockholder continues to hold Preferred Stock, then if the Company desires to incur any additional indebtedness for borrowed money, including any loans, notes,
          bonds or similar instruments (the “Additional Indebtedness”), the Company shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 45 days the terms of any such Additional
          Indebtedness with the JPM Preferred Stockholder or its Affiliates (such period, the “JPM Financing Negotiation Period”).  If the Company and the JPM Preferred
          Stockholder and/or its Affiliates are unable to reach an agreement with respect to such loan terms prior to the expiration of the JPM Financing Negotiation Period, then during the 90-day period following the expiration of the JPM Financing
          Negotiation Period the Company shall have the right to enter into and consummate a financing arrangement with the third party lender, with such financing to be approved by the Board, negotiated on “arm’s length” terms by the Company and to
          include terms that are as favorable, in all material respects, to the Company as those that the Company was prepared to accept in negotiating with the JPM Preferred Stockholder.

       

      (b)          The Company
          will not knowingly agree to any restriction with any Person which materially limits its ability to enter into the Additional Indebtedness with the JPM Preferred Stockholder and its Affiliates as outlined in Section 4.02(a).

      OTHER AGREEMENTS

        Transferees or any of their respective Representatives shall have any duty to communicate or present an investment or business opportunity or prospective economic advantage to the Company in which the Company may, but for the provisions of this Section 5.01, have an interest or expectancy (a “Corporate Opportunity”), and (b) no Stockholder
        or any of its Permitted Transferees or any of their respective Representatives (even if such Person is also an officer or Director of the Company) shall be deemed to have breached any fiduciary or other duty or obligation to the Company by reason
        of the fact that any such Person pursues or acquires a Corporate Opportunity for itself or its Permitted Transferees or directs, sells, assigns or transfers such Corporate Opportunity to another Person or does not communicate information regarding
        such Corporate Opportunity to the Company.  The Company renounces any interest in a Corporate Opportunity and any expectancy that a Corporate Opportunity will be offered to the Company.

          operations, financial condition or prospects (“Information”), and to use, and cause its Representatives to use, such Information only in connection with the operation of
          the Company; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent any Stockholder from disclosing such Information (i) upon the order of any court or
          administrative agency, (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Stockholder, (iii) to the extent compelled by legal process or required pursuant to subpoena, interrogatories or other
          discovery requests, (iv) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (v) to other Stockholders, (vi) to such Stockholder’s Representatives that need to know such Information or (vii) to any potential Permitted
          Transferee in connection with a proposed Transfer of Capital Stock from such Stockholder as long as such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing in favor of the Company to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.02 as if a Stockholder, provided, further, that in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), such
          Stockholder shall notify the Company of the proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable and use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to ensure that any Information so disclosed is accorded confidential
          treatment, when and if available.

       

      (b)          The restrictions of Section 5.02(a) shall not apply to information that (i) is or becomes generally available
          to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a Stockholder or any of its Representatives in violation of this Agreement; (ii) is or becomes available to a Stockholder or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis prior to

        an indemnification agreement with each member of the Board, in form substantially similar to the form entered into by the ultimate parent of the Company with its directors.

       

      Section
          5.04        Investment Company Act. Until such time as the JPM Common Stockholder and the JPM Preferred Stockholder are not Stockholders, the Company covenants and agrees that the operations of (a) the Company Group (including through its investment of

      Section 5.05        

        382 Transaction.

       

      (a)        In the event
          of a 382 Transaction that requires a redemption of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6 of the Certificate of Designation, GEG shall cause the Company to effect such redemption in accordance with Section 6 of the Certificate of
          Designation.

       

      (b)          If the NOLs available for use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are reduced to less than $300,000,000 as a result of (i) usage by a 382 Party or any of its Subsidiaries after the day hereof of such NOLs in accordance
          with the Code or (ii) the expiration of such NOLs solely due to the passing of time, the NOL Floor shall be correspondingly reduced; provided, however, in the event this Section 5.05(b) applies to reduce the NOL Floor, the
          NOL Floor shall be increased, but not above the NOL Floor as of the date hereof but as adjusted in accordance with Section 5.05(c), by any NOLs subsequently generated
          by a 382 Party or any of its consolidating Subsidiaries to the extent such NOLs are available for use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  For example, (A) if as result of usage by a 382 Party or any of its Subsidiaries the NOLs available
          for use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are reduced to $280,000,000 in the 2021 taxable year, the NOL Floor shall be reduced to $280,000,000, and (B) if a 382 Party and its Subsidiaries generates $50,000,000 of NOLs available for use by
          the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the 2022 taxable year, the NOL Floor shall be increased back to $300,000,000.

       

      (c)          Notwithstanding

          anything herein to the contrary, the expiration or limitation of NOLs available for use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of any amendment to the Code after the date hereof shall not constitute a “382 Transaction”; provided, however, in such circumstances, if such amendment reduces
          the NOLs available for use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to less than $300,000,000, the NOL Floor shall be correspondingly reduced.  For example, if as a result of any amendment to the Code after the date hereof, the NOLs available
          for use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would have equaled $200,000,000 if such amendment was in effect as of the date hereof, the NOL Floor shall equal $200,000,000 as adjusted in accordance with Section 5.05(b).

       

      Section 5.06         Proceeds of Healthcare LLC Return of Capital or Redemption . So long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the JPM Preferred Stockholder, in the event that: (a)
          Healthcare LLC redeems all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Units held by the Company or otherwise repays all or a portion of the Capital Contributions (as that term is defined in the Healthcare LLC Agreement) with respect to the Series A
          Preferred Units held by the Company, or (b) the Company receives proceeds from Healthcare LLC under Section 3.04 of the Healthcare LLC Agreement in respect of Series A Preferred Units held by the Company, the Company shall use the proceeds
          received as a result of such event (net of (x) all expenses, fees and other liabilities incurred in connection with the transaction or transactions from which such proceeds were derived and (y) any Indebtedness required to be repaid in connection
          with such transaction or transactions) solely to effect redemption of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Certificate of Designation; provided,
          however, that this Section 5.06 shall not apply to any proceeds received from
          Healthcare LLC related to the payment of any dividends in respect of Series A Preferred Units (other than the payments of any dividends in connection with a redemption of Series A Preferred Units). So long as the Series A Preferred Stock is
          outstanding, in the event of the Bankruptcy of Healthcare LLC, the Company shall take reasonable steps to effect the redemption of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Certificate of Designation.

       

      Section 5.07        Proceeds of Forest Subsidiary Sales.
        So long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the JPM Preferred Stockholder, the Company shall use the proceeds from a Forest Subsidiary Sale (net of (a) all expenses, fees and other liabilities
        incurred in connection with the transaction or transactions from which such proceeds were derived and (b) any Indebtedness required to be repaid in connection with such transaction or transactions) to redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock
        pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Certificate of Designation.

          Representatives, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, reasonable access for any reasonable amount of time to its officers, employees, auditors, properties, offices, plants and other facilities and to all books and records, and
          (ii) afford each of the JPM Common Stockholder and the JPM Preferred Stockholder the reasonable opportunity to consult with its officers from time to time regarding the Company’s affairs, finances and accounts as the JPM Common Stockholder or the

      (b)          The right set forth in Section 6.02(a) above shall not and is not intended to limit any rights which the each of the JPM Common
          Stockholder and the JPM Preferred Stockholder may have with respect to the books and records of the Company, or to inspect its properties or discuss its affairs, finances and accounts under Applicable Law; provided, however, that any inspection rights provided to the JPM Common Stockholder or the JPM
          Preferred Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement or under Applicable Law shall not interfere with the business and operations of the Company Group.

      Section 9.11         Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles.  Each of the parties

        having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts (collectively, the “Proper Courts”).  In that context, and without limiting the generality of the
        foregoing, each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) submits for itself and its property in any action relating to the document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect
        thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Proper Courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action shall be heard and determined in such court in the State of Delaware, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court; (b)
        consents that any such action may and shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or thereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such action in any such court or that such action was brought in an inconvenient
        court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (c) agrees that service of process in any such action may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid,
        to such party at its address that is on record at the principal office of the Company; and (d) agrees that nothing in this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
        other manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.

        remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond) granting such parties specific performance by such party of its obligations
        under this Agreement.

      Recitals

      

      

      Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Plan of Merger”), dated as of December 21, 2020, by and among the Company, Great Elm Group, Inc., a Delaware
        corporation (“Holdco”) and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Forest Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, the Company desires to reorganize into a holding
        company structure pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, under which Holdco would become a holding company, by the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Reorganization”).  In connection with the
        Reorganization, the Company desires to transfer the rights under the Original Agreement to the stockholders of Holdco by means of (i) this Amendment and (ii) the adoption of a substantially similar rights agreement by Holdco.  The Company and the
        Rights Agent desire to amend the Original Agreement as provided in this Amendment, and upon the execution of this Amendment by each of the parties hereto, the Original Agreement will be so amended.

      

      

      Amendment

      

      

      In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

      

      

      	1.	
              Amendment to Definition of “Acquiring Person.”  Section 1.1 of the Original
                Agreement is hereby amended by adding at the end of the definition of “Acquiring Person” the following:

            

      

      

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, Great Elm Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, shall not be an Acquiring Person.

      

      

      	2.	
              Amendment to Definition of “Final Expiration Date.”  Section 7.1 of the Original
                Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

            

      

      

      Subject to Section 7.5 hereof, the registered holder of any Right Certificate may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise
        provided herein) in whole or in part at any time after the Distribution Date upon surrender of the Right Certificate, with the form of election to purchase and the certificate on the reverse side thereof properly completed and duly executed (with
        such signature duly guaranteed), to the Rights Agent at the office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, together with payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the total number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred
        Stock (or other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) as to which such surrendered Rights are then exercised and an amount equal to any tax or charge required to be paid hereunder, at or prior to the earlier of (a) (x) the Effective
        Time (as defined in the Plan of Merger) and (y) the Close of Business on December 29, 2020 (the earlier of (x) and (y) being herein referred to as the “Final Expiration Date”), (b) the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 20
        hereof (the “Redemption Date”), (c) the time at which such Rights are exchanged as provided in Section 21 hereof (the “Exchange Date”), (d) the repeal of Section 382 or any successor statute if the Independent Directors determine that this
        Agreement is no longer necessary for the preservation of Tax Benefits, (e) the beginning of the taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no Tax Benefits may be carried forward (the earliest of (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) being
        herein referred to as the “Expiration Date”).  Except as set forth in Section 7.5 hereof and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Person who prior to the Distribution Date becomes a record holder of shares of Common Stock of
        the Company may exercise all of the rights of a registered holder of a Right Certificate with respect to the Rights associated with such shares of Common Stock of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as of the date such
        Person becomes a record holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company.  Except for the provisions hereof that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate at such time as all of the Rights are no longer
        exchangeable hereunder.

      

      

      
        1

        
          

      

      	3.	
              Miscellaneous. The Company shall promptly notify the Rights Agent in the event that
                the Final Expiration Date is caused by the occurrence of the Effective Time. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Sections 23.7, 23.8,
                23.9, 23.10, 23.11 and 23.12 of the Original Agreement shall apply to this Amendment mutatis mutandis. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an
                original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. A signature to this Amendment executed and/or transmitted electronically shall have the same authority, effect, and enforceability as an original
                signature.
