  BROAD STREET REALTY, INC.

  REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

  THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of November 22, 2022 among Broad Street Realty, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each of the investors listed on the signature pages hereto under the caption “Fortress Investors” (collectively with each Person, if any, who executes a Joinder as a “Fortress Investor” in accordance with this Agreement, the “Fortress Investors”) and each Person, if any, who executes a Joinder as an “Other Investor” in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Other Investors”). Except as otherwise specified herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A attached hereto.

  In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

  Section 1Demand Registrations.

  (a)Requests for Registration. At any time after the completion of the Qualified Public Offering and from time to time thereafter, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Fortress Investors may request registration under the Securities Act of the resale of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement (“Long-Form Registration Statement”) or on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement (“Short-Form Registration Statement”), if available (any such requested registration, a “Demand Registration”). The Fortress Investors may request that any Demand Registration be made pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration”) and (if the Company is a WKSI at the time any such request is submitted to the Company or will become one by the time of the filing of such Shelf Registration) that such Shelf Registration be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”). Each request for a Demand Registration must specify the approximate number or dollar value of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the requesting Holders and (if known) the intended method of distribution. The Fortress Investors will be entitled to request not more than three (3) Demand Registrations in any period of twelve (12) calendar months whether or not such requests are revoked or withdrawn in accordance with Section 1(j).

  (b)Notice to Other Investors. Within four (4) Business Days after receipt of any such request, the Company will give written notice of the Demand Registration to the Other Investors and, subject to the terms of Section 1(e), will include in such Demand Registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that, with the written consent of the Fortress Investors, the Company may, or at the written request of the Fortress Investors, the Company shall, instead provide notice of the Demand Registration to the Other Investors within three (3) Business Days following the non-confidential filing of the registration statement with respect to the Demand Registration so long as such registration statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement; and provided further that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1(b), no Other Investors will be permitted to participate in an Demand Registration without the written consent of the Fortress Investors.

  (c)Form of Registrations. Demand Registrations will be on a Short-Form Registration Statement whenever the Company is permitted to use Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement.

   

  

   

  (d)Shelf Registrations. 

  (i)For so long as a Short-Form Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) is and remains effective, the Fortress Investors will have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell pursuant to an offering (including an underwritten offering, subject to the limitations set forth below) Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). If the Fortress Investors desire to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwritten offering, then the Fortress Investors may deliver to the Company a written notice (a “Shelf Offering Notice”) specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that the Fortress Investors desire to sell pursuant to such underwritten offering (the “Shelf Offering”); provided that the Fortress Investors shall not be permitted to request more than three (3) Shelf Offerings (provided that a Demand Registration and substantially concurrent Shelf Offering shall count as one (1) single Shelf Offering and not a separate Demand Registration) in any period of twelve (12) calendar months whether or not such requests are revoked or withdrawn in accordance with Section 1(j). As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Offering Notice, the Company will give written notice of such Shelf Offering Notice to the Other Investors of Shelf Registrable Securities that have been identified as selling stockholders in such Shelf Registration Statement and are otherwise permitted to sell in such Shelf Offering, which such notice shall request that each such Holder specify, within seven (7) days after the Company’s receipt of the Shelf Offering Notice, the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities such Holder desires to be disposed of in such Shelf Offering. The Company, subject to Section 1(e) and Section 7, will include in such Shelf Offering all Shelf Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received timely written requests for inclusion; provided that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1(d), no Other Investors will be permitted to participate in a Shelf Offering without the written consent of the Fortress Investors. The Company will, as soon as reasonably practicable, but subject to Section 1(e), use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate such Shelf Offering. 

  (ii)If the Fortress Investors desire to engage in an underwritten block trade or bought deal pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement (either through filing an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement or through a take-down from an already existing Shelf Registration Statement, subject to the limitations (including with respect to time and number) set forth in Section 1(d)(i)) (each, an “Underwritten Block Trade”), the Fortress Investors may notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the day such offering is first anticipated to commence. If requested by the Fortress Investors, the Company will promptly notify the Other Investors of such Underwritten Block Trade and such Other Investors (each, a “Potential Participant”) may elect whether or not to participate no later than the next Business Day (i.e., two (2) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence) (unless a longer period is agreed to by the Fortress Investors), and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Underwritten Block Trade (which may close as early as two (2) Business Days after the date it commences); provided further that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(d)(i), no Other Investors will be permitted to participate in an Underwritten Block Trade without the written consent of the Fortress Investors. Any Potential Participant’s request to participate in an Underwritten Block Trade shall be binding on the Potential Participant.

  (iii)All determinations as to whether to complete any Shelf Offering and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Shelf Offering contemplated by this Section 1(d) shall be determined by the Fortress Investors, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Shelf Offering to occur in accordance with such determinations as promptly as reasonably practicable. 

  -2-

   

  

   

  (iv)Subject to the terms of Section 1(f), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Period”). 

  (e)Priority on Demand Registrations and Shelf Offerings. The Company will not include in any Demand Registration or Shelf Offering any securities that are not Fortress Investor Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Fortress Investors. If a Demand Registration or a Shelf Offering is an underwritten registration or offering, as applicable, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and (if permitted hereunder) other securities requested to be included in such registration or offering, as applicable, exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities (if any) that can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then the Company will include in such registration or offering, as applicable (prior to the inclusion of any securities that are not Registrable Securities), (i) first, the number of Fortress Investor Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration or offering, as applicable, by any Fortress Investors that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among such Participating Fortress Investors on the basis of the number of Fortress Investor Registrable Securities owned by each such Participating Fortress Investor; and (ii) second, the number of Other Investor Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration or offering, as applicable, by any Other Investors that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among such participating Other Investors on the basis of the number of Other Investor Registrable Securities owned by each such participating Other Investor.

  (f)Restrictions on Demand Registration and Shelf Offerings.

  (i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may postpone, for up to 60 days (or with the consent of the Fortress Investors, a longer period) from the date of the request (the “Suspension Period”), the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Shelf Registrable Securities) by providing written notice to the Holders if any of the following conditions are met: (A) the Company determines that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with any proposal or plan by the Company or any Subsidiary to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, financing or other transaction involving the Company,(B) upon advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement would require disclosure of material non-public information not otherwise required to be disclosed at that time under applicable law, and the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such material non-public information, or (C) the filing or effectiveness or continued use of such registration statement would render the Company unable to comply with SEC requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the registration statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the registration statement on a post effective basis, as applicable. The Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1(f)(i) not more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)-month period (for the avoidance of doubt, in addition to the Company’s rights and obligations under Section 4(a)(vi)) unless additional delays or suspensions are approved by the Fortress Investors. 

  -3-

   

  

   

  (ii)In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration Statement as set forth in Section 1(f)(i) above or pursuant to Section 4(a)(vi) (a “Suspension Event”), the Company will give a notice to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice must state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension will continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. Each Holder agrees not to effect any sales of its Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. A Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice will be given by the Company to the Holders promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.

  (g)Selection of Underwriters. The Fortress Investors shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer any underwritten offering in connection with any Demand Registration or Shelf Offering; provided that if any such offering includes securities to be sold by the Company for its own account, such selection shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. 

  (h)Distributions. In the event any Fortress Investors request to participate in a registration pursuant to this Section 1 in connection with a distribution of Fortress Investor Registrable Securities to its partners, stockholders, members or other equity owners, the registration shall provide for resale by such partners, stockholders, members or other equity owners, if requested by such Participating Fortress Investors; provided that, such Persons have executed Joinders pursuant to Section 9(a).

  (i)Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Fortress Investors, grant to any Person the right to request the Company or any Subsidiary to register any equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, to the extent such right (i) would allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) would allow such holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration or underwritten offering of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder; provided that such holder or prospective holder shall only have the right to initiate such a demand for registration in a non-underwritten resale of all or any portion of their securities, or (iii) would otherwise provide any such holder or prospective holder of securities of the Company with rights which conflict with or impair the registration rights granted to the Fortress Investors hereunder.

  (j)Revocation of Demand Notice or Shelf Offering Notice. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to a Demand Registration or the “pricing” of any offering relating to a Shelf Offering Notice, the Fortress Investors who initiated such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering may revoke or withdraw such notice of a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering Notice on behalf of all Holders participating in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering without liability to such Holders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the other Participating Fortress Investors), in each case by providing written notice to the Company, and the Company will immediately cease all effort to secure effectiveness of such registration statement. Any withdrawn Demand Registration or Shelf Offering Notice shall count toward the limitations set forth in Sections 1(a) and 1(d)(i) unless the Fortress Investors pay for all Registration Expenses related to such withdrawn Demand Registration or Shelf Offering Notice.

  (k)Confidentiality. Each Holder agrees to treat as confidential the receipt of any notice hereunder (including notice of a Demand Registration, a Shelf Offering Notice and a Suspension Notice) and the information contained therein, and not to disclose or use the information contained in any such 

  -4-

   

  

   

  notice (or the existence thereof) without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally (other than as a result of disclosure by such Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement).

  Section 2Piggyback Registrations.

  (a)Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration) (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give prompt written notice (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the public filing of the registration statement relating to the Piggyback Registration) to all Holders of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Section 2(b), will include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after delivery of the Company’s notice; provided that the Company shall not be required to provide such notice or include any Registrable Securities in such registration if the Fortress Investors elect not to include any Fortress Investor Registrable Securities in such registration, unless the Fortress Investors otherwise consent in writing. Any Participating Fortress Investor may withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement, or if none, prior to the applicable registration statement becoming effective. 

  (b)Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If any Fortress Investor is participating in any Piggyback Registration, the Company will not include in any such Piggyback Registration on behalf of the Company any securities that are not securities the Company proposes to sell or Fortress Investors Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Fortress Investors.

  (xxi)use its reasonable best efforts to provide (A) a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such registration statement addressed to the Company, (B) on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (1) one or more legal opinions of the Company’s outside counsel, dated such date, in form and substance as customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and (2) one or more “negative assurances letters” of the Company’s outside counsel, dated such date, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, in each case, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (3) customary certificates executed by authorized officers of the Company as may be requested by any underwriter of such Registrable Securities;

  (xxii)if the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold;

  (b)Automatic Shelf Registration Statements. If the Company files any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, and the Fortress Investors do not request that their Registrable Securities be included in such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company agrees that, at the request of the Fortress Investors, it will include in such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B in order to ensure that the Fortress Investors may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment. If the Company has filed any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, the Company shall, at the request of the Fortress Investors, file any post-effective amendments 

  -10-

   

  

   

  necessary to include therein all disclosure and language necessary to ensure that the holders of Registrable Securities may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement.

  (c)Additional Information. The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, as a condition to such seller’s participation in such registration.

  (d)In-Kind Distributions.

  (f)Registerable Securities Transactions. If requested by any Fortress Investors in connection with any transaction involving any Registrable Securities (including any sale or other transfer of such securities without registration under the Securities Act, any margin loan with respect to such securities and any pledge of such securities), the Company agrees to provide such Fortress Investors with customary and reasonable assistance to facilitate such transaction, including (i) such action as such Fortress Investors may reasonably request from time to time to enable such Fortress Investors to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act and (ii) entering into an “issuer’s agreement” in connection with any margin loan with respect to such securities in customary form.

  (g)Other.

  Section 6Indemnification and Contribution.

  (a)By the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law and without limitation as to time, each Holder, such Holder’s officers, directors employees, agents, fiduciaries, stockholders, managers, partners, members, affiliates, direct and indirect equityholders, consultants and representatives, and any successors and assigns thereof, and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or related to any of the following (each, a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free‐Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document or communication (in this Section 6, collectively called an “application”) executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the “blue sky” or securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. In addition, the Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be liable in any such case 

  -12-

   

  

   

  to the extent that any such Losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement, or omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free‐Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Party expressly for use therein or by such Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Indemnified Party with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors, and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified Parties or as otherwise agreed to in the underwriting agreement executed in connection with such underwritten offering. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses 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 such securities by such seller.

  (b)By Holders. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Losses resulting from (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be individual, not joint and several, for each Holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

  (c)Claim Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice will impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder only to the extent such failure has prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties will have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the majority of the conflicted indemnified parties involved in the indemnification and approved by the Fortress Investor, at the expense of the indemnifying party.

  (d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to, or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any Loss referred to herein, then such indemnifying party will contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the 

  -13-

   

  

   

  indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Loss as well as any other relevant equitable considerations or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 6(d) is not permitted by applicable law, then in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault but also the relative benefit of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution will be limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or, as applicable alleged) untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if the contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account such equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to herein will be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject hereof. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

  (e)Release. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

  (f)Non-exclusive Remedy; Survival. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract (and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be considered the indemnitors of first resort in all such circumstances to which this Section 6 applies) and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

  Section 7Cooperation with Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no Holder will be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such Holder has requested to include in such registration) and (ii) completes, executes and delivers all questionnaires, powers of attorney, stock powers, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents and agreements required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements or as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s). To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 3, Section 4 and/or this Section 7, the respective rights and obligations created under such 

  -14-

   

  

   

  agreement will supersede the respective rights and obligations of the Holders, the Company and the underwriters created thereby with respect to such registration.

  Section 8Subsidiary Public Offering.

  (a)Subsidiary Public Offering. If, after a Public Offering of the common equity of one of its Subsidiaries, the Company distributes securities of such Subsidiary to its equityholders, then the rights and obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Subsidiary, and the Company will cause such Subsidiary to comply with such Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement as if it were the Company hereunder.

  Section 9Joinder; Additional Parties.

  (a)Joinder. The Company may from time to time (with the prior written consent of the Fortress Investors) permit any Person who acquires Common Equity (or rights to acquire Common Equity) to become a party to this Agreement and to be entitled to and be bound by all of the rights and obligations as a Holder by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Joinder”). If requested by any Fortress Investor (with the prior written consent of the Fortress Investors), the Company shall permit any Person who directly or indirectly acquires Common Equity (or rights to acquire Common Equity) or Fortress Investor Registrable Securities from such Fortress Investor to become a party to this Agreement and to be entitled to and be bound by all of the rights and obligations as a Holder by obtaining an executed Joinder; provided that, in the case of a non-Affiliate transferee, after giving effect to such transfer, such non-Affiliate transferee and its Affiliates, collectively, beneficially own Registrable Securities that represent not less than 1.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Equity as of the date of such transfer. Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder by such Person, the Common Equity held by such Person shall become the category of Registrable Securities set forth in the written consent from the Fortress Investors (i.e., Fortress Investor Registrable Securities or Other Investor Registrable Securities), and such Person shall be deemed the category of Holder set forth in the written consent from the Fortress Investors (i.e., a Fortress Investor or an Other Investor), which, in each case, shall be set forth on the signature page to such Joinder. For the avoidance of doubt, no such Person will be considered a Holder hereunder without execution of a Joinder and no assignment will otherwise be permitted.

  (b)Legend. Each certificate (if any) evidencing any Registrable Securities and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer of any Registrable Securities (unless such Registrable Securities would no longer be Registrable Securities after such transfer) will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

  “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 22, 2022, AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “COMPANY”) AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY’S EQUITYHOLDERS, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

  The legend set forth above will be removed from the certificates evidencing any securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

  Section 10General Provisions.

  (a)Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and the Fortress Investors; provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver that would treat a specific Holder or group of Holders of Registrable Securities (i.e., Fortress Investors or Other Investors) in a manner materially and adversely different than any other Holder or group of Holders will be effective against such Holder or group of Holders without the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are held by the group of Holders that is materially and adversely affected thereby. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement will not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.

  (b)Remedies. The parties to this Agreement will be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party will be entitled to seek specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

  (c)Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect and to any extent under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, (i) the application of that provision to another Person or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law and (ii) such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

  (d)Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

  (e)Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and permitted assigns and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns (whether so expressed or not). For the avoidance of doubt, no Other Investor shall be permitted to assign its rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Company and the Fortress Investors. 

  (f)Notices. Any notice, demand or other communication to be given under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; but if not, then on the next Business Day, (iii) one (1) Business Day after it is sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) or (iv) three (3) Business
