SECURITIES
ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

 

This SECURITIES ACQUISITION AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 26, 2017 by and among Evermore Global Advisors, LLC (“Evermore”)
and PJC Investments, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“PJC”).

 

WHEREAS, PJC is party to Master Transaction
Agreements, dated as of March 15, 2017 and May 12, 2017, as amended to date and from time to time (the “MTAs”;
capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the MTAs), by and among Emergent
Capital, Inc. (the “Company”), PJC and the Consenting Convertible Note Holders party(ies) thereto (“Consenting
Convertible Note Holders”) relating to the recapitalization of the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the MTAs, PJC and Triax
Capital Advisors LLC (“Triax”) will designate one or more party(ies) (collectively, the “Investor”)
to be party(ies) to certain other agreements, including the Senior Note Purchase Agreement, the Common Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Registration Rights Agreement and/or the Warrant (each an “Operative Agreement”; and collectively, the “Operative
Agreements”); and

 

WHEREAS, Evermore wishes that it or its affiliates
be designated, and PJC wishes to designate Evermore or its affiliates, as an Investor with respect to certain rights and obligations
under the Operative Agreements in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants herein contained, and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.         Designations
by PJC and Triax. PJC hereby agrees with Evermore that it will cause Evermore and the affiliates of Evermore set forth on Schedule
I hereto (the “Evermore Affliates”) to be designated as an Investor in accordance with Schedule I hereto with
respect to the following rights and obligations under the Operative Agreements:

 

(a)         Senior
Note Purchase Agreement. PJC will cause Evermore and/or the Evermore Affiliates to be designated as Investor(s) to purchase
$21,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Notes from the sellers thereof pursuant to the Senior Note Purchase
Agreement.

 

(b)         Common
Stock Purchase Agreement. PJC will cause Evermore and/or the Evermore Affiliates to be designated as Investor(s) to purchase
37,500,000 Shares, for a purchase price of $0.20 per share or an aggregate purchase price of $7,500,000, from the Company pursuant
to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

(c)         Warrant.
PJC will cause Evermore and/or the Evermore Affiliates to be designated as Investor(s) to receive a Warrant to purchase 9,750,000
Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $0.20 per Warrant Share, which Warrants shall vest pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) of the Warrant,
on a pro rata basis with the 25,000,000 Warrant Shares vesting pursuant to such Section 2(b)(ii).

 

     

     

    

 

2.         Entry
into Operative Agreements by Evermore. Evermore agrees that, in connection with the Closing, it will, or it will cause the
Evermore Affiliates designated on Schedule I hereto to, enter into and perform its obligations under each of the Operative Agreements
as applicable with respect to the designations set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement; provided, however, that the obligations
of Evermore or the Evermore Affiliates to do so is conditioned upon:

 

(a)         The
vesting provisions of Section 2(b)(ii) of the Warrant being amended to provide, in addition to the current vesting terms, for pro-rata
vesting of the Warrant Shares subject to vesting pursuant to such section and for full vesting of any remaining unvested Warrants
upon the earliest date on which (i) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Convertible Notes are converted
into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Existing Convertible Note Indenture or the New Convertible Note
Indenture, as applicable, or (ii) all of the Outstanding Convertible Notes are no longer outstanding (whether by conversion, redemption,
payment in full at the final maturity date or otherwise); and

 

(b)         The
finalization of Board Documents to be in effect as of and immediately following the Closing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Evermore; and

 

(c)         The
finalization of the Registration Rights Agreement, to take effect as of the Closing and to which the Evermore Affiliates will be
parties, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Evermore.

 

3.         Notes
Option. Evermore, on its behalf or on behalf of any Evermore Affiliate that acquires New Senior Notes pursuant to the Senior
Note Purchase Agreement, hereby grants to such Person or Persons as PJC and Triax may at any time designate in writing (each an
“Optionee”) the option (the “Notes Option”) to buy from Evermore or the relevant Evermore Affiliate(s)
all or a portion thereof of the New Senior Notes purchased pursuant to Section 1(a) of this Agreement and then held by Evermore
or any Evermore Affiliate (all such New Senior Notes, the “Evermore Notes”) at an aggregate purchase price equal
to the outstanding principal amount of the Evermore Notes for which the Notes Option is being exercised plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon (the “Exercise Price”), all in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.

 

(a)         Exercise
of Call Option. Each Optionee, at its option and in its sole discretion, may at any time and from time to time after the first
anniversary of the issuance of the New Senior Notes, exercise the Notes Option, in whole or in part, by delivering in writing to
Evermore or an Evermore Affiliate that holds New Senior Notes (a “Seller”) a notice (an “Exercise Notice”)
stating that such Optionee is exercising its Notes Option, which Exercise Notice shall set forth the aggregate principal amount
of the Evermore Notes for which the Notes Option is being exercised. However, without Evermore’s prior written consent, at
no time shall an Optionee exercise its Notes Option:

 

    	 	- 2 -	 

     

    

 

		(i)	for an amount less than $1,000,000 of outstanding principal amount of Evermore Notes; or

 

		(ii)	for an amount that would cause Evermore, together with any Evermore Affiliate, to hold an amount in aggregate principal amount
of Evermore Notes that is greater than $0 and less than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

 

(b)         Closing.

 

		(i)	The closing of any exercise of the Notes Option shall be on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date of the
Exercise Notice (the “Exercise Date”), or such other date as mutually agreed upon by the Optionee and the Seller
(the “Option Closing Date”).

 

		(ii)	On or before the Option Closing Date, PJC shall cause the Optionee that exercised the Notes Option to pay the Exercise Price
for the Evermore Notes being purchased (the “Purchased Evermore Notes”) by wire transfer of immediately available
funds pursuant to instructions to be provided by the Seller to such Seller and upon request of the Seller, to execute and deliver
any additional documents deemed by the Seller to be necessary or desirable to transfer the Purchased Evermore Notes, including
without limitation as may be necessary to register the transfer in accordance with the New Senior Notes Indenture. On or before
the Option Closing Date, Evermore shall deliver or cause the Seller to deliver to the Optionee the Purchased Evermore Notes in
such form that good and marketable title thereto passes to the Optionee upon such delivery, free and clear of any Liens or taxes.

 

(c)         Terms
of Exchange. PJC agrees that if any Evermore Notes are purchased by an Optionee pursuant to the exercise of a Notes Option
under this Section 3, then

 

		(i)	For a period of twelve months from the Exercise Date, PJC shall not, and shall not permit any Optionee that so purchased Evermore
Notes, without Evermore’s prior written consent, to directly or indirectly resell the Purchased Evermore Notes for cash at
a price above their face value plus any accrued and unpaid interest; and

 

		(ii)	PJC shall not, and shall not permit any Optionee that so purchased Evermore Notes, without Evermore’s prior written consent,
to directly or indirectly exchange Purchased Evermore Notes for Common Stock, or any other security having its value derived directly
from the value of Common Stock (“Equity-Like Securities”), in a single-step or multiple-step transaction with
the Company (an “Exchange”) which would have the direct or indirect effect of providing PJC or such Optionee
with Common Stock or Equity-Like Securities at an effective price of less than the greater of (a) the volume-weighted average price
of Common Stock for the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the Exercise Date as reported by Bloomberg Financial Services;
and (b) $0.20 per share of Common Stock (as adjusted from time to time to reflect any stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations
or similar transactions occurring after the Closing); and

 

    	 	- 3 -	 

     

    

 

		(iii)	so long as Evermore or any Evermore Affiliate still holds any Evermore Notes acquired at the Closing, PJC shall not and shall
not permit any Optionee that acquired Purchased Evermore Notes pursuant to the exercise of the Notes Option, to directly or indirectly
partcipate in an Exchange with respect to the Purchased Evermore Notes unless the Seller of such Purchased Evermore Notes is offered
the opportunity to participate in such Exchange with respect to any Evermore Notes it acquired at the Closing and still at the
time holds on substantially the same terms and conditions as PJC or such Optionee.

 

		(iv)	For avoidance of doubt, Equity-Like Securities shall include, without limitation, warrants to purchase Common Stock and debt
securities convertible into Common Stock.

 

(d)         Right
of First Refusal. Nothing in Section 3 shall prohibit or otherwise restrict Evermore or any Evermore Affiliate from selling
or transferring any Evermore Notes to a third party in accordance with applicable law and Section 2.04 of the New Senior Notes
Indenture; provided, however, that in the event that Evermore or any Evermore Affiliate (each, a “Transferring
Holder”) intends to effect such a sale or other transfer during the twelve month period commencing on the Closing Date
under the MTAs, then PJC and Triax, or such Person or Persons as PJC and Triax may at such time designate in writing (each, a “Transferee”)
shall have a right of first refusal to purchase such Evermore Notes proposed to be so transferred or sold (the “Transfer
Notes”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3(d).

 

		(i)	Notice of Proposed Transfer. At least five (5) business days in advance of a proposed transfer, the Transferring Holder shall
deliver to PJC a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) stating: (A) the Transferring Holder’s bona fide
intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Transfer Notes; (B) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (each,
a “Proposed Transferee”); (C) the principal amount of the Transfer Notes to be transferred to each Proposed
Transferee; and (D) the terms and conditions, including the proposed closing date, of each proposed sale or transfer. The Transferring
Holder shall offer the Transfer Notes at the same price (the “Purchase Price”) and upon the same terms (or terms
as similar as reasonably possible) to the Transferee(s).

 

		(ii)	Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within five (5) business days after receipt of the Transfer Notice, the Transferee(s)
may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Transfer Notes proposed to be
transferred to the Proposed Transferee(s), at the Purchase Price. If the terms of the proposed transfer in the Transfer Notice
include consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined jointly by Evermore
and the Transferee(s) in good faith.

 

    	 	- 4 -	 

     

    

 

		(iii)	Payment and Transfer. On or before the closing date set forth in the Transfer Notice or such other date as may be mutually
agreed by the Transferring Holder and the Transferee(s), (i) payment of the Purchase Price shall be made in cash by wire transfer
of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions to be provided by the Transferring Holder to such Transferring Holder,
(ii) upon request of the Transferring Holder, the Transferee(s) shall execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the
Transferring Holder to be necessary or desirable to transfer the Transfer Notes, including without limitation as may be necessary
to register the transfer in accordance with the New Senior Notes Indenture, and (iii) the Transferring Holder shall deliver to
the Transferee(s) the Transfer Notes in such form that good and marketable title thereto passes to the Transferee(s) upon such
delivery, free and clear of any Liens or taxes.
