3. Representations,
Warranties and Acknowledgments of the Investors.

 

Each
Investor, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company solely as to such Investor that:

 

3.1 Authorization.
The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the Transaction Documents to which such Investor is a party have been
duly authorized and will each constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against such Investor
in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium
and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.

 

3.2 Purchase
Entirely for Own Account. The Securities to be received by such Investor hereunder will be acquired for such Investor’s
own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the
1933 Act, and such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the
same in violation of the 1933 Act, without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the Securities for any period of time.  Such
Investor is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the 1934 Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require
it to be so registered.

 

3.3. Investment
Experience. Such Investor acknowledges that the purchase of the Securities is a highly speculative investment and that it
can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial
or business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.

 

3.4 Disclosure
of Information. Such Investor has had an opportunity to receive all information related to the Company, including, but not
limited to, the Company’s relevant SEC Documents via EDGAR, and the Securities requested by it and to ask questions of and
receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Units.  Neither
such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by such Investor shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s
right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

 

3.5 Restricted
Securities. Such Investor understands that the Units, and the components thereof, are characterized as “restricted securities”
under the U.S. federal securities laws since they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933
Act only in certain limited circumstances.

the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to issue the Securities, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions

Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its stockholders,
is required; (iii) each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Company by its authorized representative,
and such authorized representative is a true and official representative with authority to sign each such document and the other

by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”).  The SEC Documents

in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder
applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the

the SEC Documents (“Company Financial Statements”) complied as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. The Company Financial Statements

periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case
of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly
present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the

the Company Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of

(iii) Any
incurrence of any material liability outside of the ordinary course of business.

 

 
 4.9 No General Solicitation. Neither
the Company nor any person participating on the Company’s behalf in the transactions contemplated hereby has conducted any
“general solicitation,” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act, with respect to any
of the Securities being offered hereby.

 

4.10 No
Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly
or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would
require registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Investors. The issuance of the Securities to
the Investors will not be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes
of any stockholder approval provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.

 

4.11 No
Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction
fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

4.12 Form
D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D within
fifteen (15) business days after the First Closing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the
Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the Investors at the applicable Closing
pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to
obtain an exemption from such qualification).

 

4.13 Disclosure.
The Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Investors or their agents
or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information
concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents. The Company understands and confirms that each of the Investors will rely on the foregoing
representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Investors regarding the
Company and its Subsidiaries, their businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement,
furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is true and correct in all material respects and does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries during the 12 months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.  No event or circumstance
has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties,
liabilities, results of operations or financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure
at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that no Investor makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.

 

    10

     

    

 

4.14 Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade
names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works, inventions,
licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and
registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.  None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual
Property Rights have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within two years
from the date of this Agreement. The Company has no knowledge of any infringement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of
Intellectual Property Rights of others. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is no claim, action or proceeding being
made or brought, or to the Company’s Knowledge, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding
their Intellectual Property Rights. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the
foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security
measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights, except where failure
to take such measures would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

4.15 Tax
Status. Except for occurrences that would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state
income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject; (ii) has timely
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such
returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith; and (iii) has set aside on its books provision
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the
officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner
as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

 

4.16 Acknowledgement
Regarding Investors’ Trading Activity. It is understood and acknowledged by the Company that (i) following the public
disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, none of the Investors
have been asked by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to agree, nor has any Investor agreed with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, to desist from effecting any transactions in or with respect to (including, without limitation, purchasing or selling,
long and/or short) any securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company
or to hold any of the Securities for any specified term; (ii) any Investor, and counterparties in “derivative” transactions
to which any such Investor is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common
Stock which was established prior to such Investor’s knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents;
and (iii) each Investor shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in
any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, one or more Investors may engage in hedging and/or trading activities
at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, and such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can
reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or
trading activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do
not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the documents executed in connection herewith
or therewith.

 

    11

     

    

 

4.17 Shell
Company Status. The Company was never a “shell issuer”, as defined in Rule 144(i)(1), promulgated under the 1933
Act.

 

4.18 Investment
Company Act Status. The Company and its subsidiaries are not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Units
and the application of the proceeds thereof will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term
is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

5. Registration
Rights.

 

5.1
 Demand Registration.

 

(a) Request
by Holders. If the Company receives at any time commencing nine (9) months following the closing of a Qualifying PO, a written
request (a “Demand Request”) from Investors (the “Requesting Holders”) that hold at least
fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, that the Company register the Common Stock into which the
Registrable Securities is convertible, then the Company shall, within 20 days after receipt of such Demand Request, give written
notice of such request (“Request Notice”) to GPB Debt Holdings II, LLC (“GPB”) and all holders
of Registrable Securities.  Each Demand Request shall (x) specify the number of shares of Common Stock that the Requesting
Holders intend to sell or dispose of; (y) state the intended method or methods of sale or disposition of the Common Stock;
and (z) specify the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) acceptable to the Requesting Holders
to be received for such Common Stock.  Following receipt of a Demand Request, if GPB in its sole discretion consents
to the Demand Request, the Company shall:

 

(1) cause
to be filed, as soon as practicable, but in any event within 150 days of the date of delivery to the Company of the Demand Request,
a Registration Statement covering such shares of Common Stock which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting
Holders and other holders of Registrable Securities who request to the Company that their securities be registered within 20 days
of the mailing of the Request Notice, providing for the registration under the 1933 Act of such securities to the extent necessary
to permit the disposition of such securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution specified in such Demand Request;

 

(2) use
its best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter; and

 

(3) refrain
from filing any other Registration Statements, other than pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or similar
or successor forms), with respect to any other securities of the Company until such date which is 120 days following effectiveness
of the Registration Statement filed in response to the Demand Request.

 

    12

     

    

 

(b) Selection
of Underwriters; Priority for Demand Registrations. In the event the Requesting Holders intend to distribute the securities
covered by the Demand Request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of the Demand Request and
the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice. The managing underwriter for such underwriting shall be one
or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks selected by Requesting Holders owning a majority of the securities included
in such Registration Statement subject to the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned.  In such event, the right of any holder of Registrable Securities to include such holder’s securities
in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
holder’s securities in the underwriting to the extent provided in this Section 5.1.  All holders of
Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.

 

(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 5.1, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten public offering determines and
advises the Company in writing that the inclusion of all securities proposed to be included by the Company and any other holders
of Company securities requesting inclusion of their securities in the underwritten public offering other than the holders of Registrable
Securities that are participating in the public offering (the “Participating Holders”) would materially and
adversely interfere with the successful marketing of the securities, then the Company and the other holders of Company’s
securities shall not be permitted to include any securities in excess of the amount, if any, of securities which the managing
underwriter of such underwritten public offering shall reasonably and in good faith agree in writing to include in such public
offering in addition to the amount of securities to be registered for accounts of the Participating Holders. If the managing underwriter
concludes that less than all of the securities which the Participating Holders propose to include in the offering can be successfully
sold in the offering, the managing underwriter will be obligated to include in such Registration Statement, as to each Participating
Holder, only that portion of the securities such Participating Holder has requested be registered equal to the ratio which such
Participating Holder’s requested securities bears to the total number of securities requested to be included in such Registration
Statement by all Participating Holders who have requested that their securities be included in such Registration Statement.

 

(d) Limitations
on Demand Registrations. The Company may delay making a filing of a Registration Statement or taking action in connection
therewith by not more than 60 days after receipt of the Demand Request if the Company provides a written certificate signed by
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to the holders of Registrable Securities, prior to the time it would otherwise have
been required to file such Registration Statement or take such action pursuant to this Section 5.1, stating that the
Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith that it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders
if such Registration Statement (or an amendment thereto) were filed and such Registration Statement (or amendment) were to become
effective, or remain effective for the time otherwise required for such Registration Statement to remain effective, because such
action either would (A) materially adversely affect a significant financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other material
transaction; (B) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving
as confidential; or (C) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, a “Valid
Business Reason”) and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of the Registration Statement; provided,
however, that such right to delay a Demand Request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any 12 month
period and the Company shall only have the right to delay a Demand Request so long as such Valid Business Reason exists, and during
such time the Company may not file a Registration Statement for securities to be issued and sold for its own account or for that
of anyone other than the holders of the Registrable Securities.

 

(e) The
Company shall only be obligated to effect two (2) Demand Requests pursuant to this Section 5.1.

 

    13

     

    

 

5.2 Piggyback
Registrations.

 

(a) Right
to Include Securities. Each time after the date hereof that the Company proposes for any reason to register any of its Common
Stock under the 1933 Act, either for its own account or for the account of a stockholder or stockholders exercising demand registration
rights (other than under a registration statement on Form S-8 or S-4 or for the account of GPB) (a “Proposed Registration”),
the Company shall promptly give written notice of such Proposed Registration to all of the holders of Registrable Securities (which
notice shall be given not less than 30 days prior to the expected effective date of the Company’s Registration Statement)
and shall offer such holders the right to request inclusion of any of such holder’s securities in the Proposed Registration;
provided, however, that the holders of Registrable Securities shall have no right to include securities in a registration
statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or
similar plan or a Rule 145 transaction.  No registration pursuant to this Section 5 shall relieve the Company
of its obligation to register securities pursuant to a Demand Request, as contemplated by Section 5.1 hereof.  The
rights to piggyback registration may be exercised an unlimited number of occasions. 

 

(b) Piggyback
Procedure. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the Company’s
notice referred to in Section 5.1 above to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the number of securities
such holder intends to sell and such holder’s intended method of disposition.  Any holder of Registrable Securities
shall have the right to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of such holder’s securities in any Registration
Statement pursuant to this Section 5.2 by giving written notice to the Corporation of such withdrawal.  Subject
to Section 5.2(c) below, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such Registration Statement all such
securities so requested to be included therein; provided, however, that the Company may at any time withdraw or
cease proceeding with any such Proposed Registration if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration
of all other shares of Common Stock originally proposed to be registered.

 

(c) Priority
for Piggyback Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, if the managing underwriter
of an underwritten public offering determines and advises the Company and the Participating Holders in writing that the inclusion
of all securities proposed to be included by the Participating Holders of securities in the underwritten public offering would
materially and adversely interfere with the successful marketing of the Company’s securities, then the Participating Holders
shall not be permitted to include any securities in excess of the amount, if any, of securities which the managing underwriter
of such underwritten public offering shall reasonably and in good faith agree in writing to include in such public offering in
addition to the amount of securities to be registered for the account of the Company.  The Company will be obligated
to include in such Registration Statement, as to each Participating Holder, only that portion of the securities such Participating
Holder has requested be registered equal to the product of (i) the total number of securities which the managing underwriter agrees
to include in the public offering for the account of all Participating Holders and (ii) the ratio which such Participating Holder’s
requested securities bears to the total number of securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by all Participating
Holders who have requested that their securities be included in such Registration Statement.  It is acknowledged by
the parties hereto that pursuant to the foregoing provision, the securities to be included in a registration initiated by the
Company shall be allocated:

 

(1) first,
to the Company; and

 

(2) second,
to the others requesting registration of securities of the Company.

 

(d) Underwritten
Offering. In the event the Proposed Registration by the Company is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of
securities of the Company, any notice from the Company to the Holders under this Section 5 shall offer the Holders
the right to include any Registrable Securities covered by the Proposed Registration in the underwriting on the same terms and
conditions as the shares, if any, otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration. The managing underwriter
for any Proposed Registration that involves an underwritten public offering shall be one or more reputable nationally recognized
investment banks selected by the Company.

 

    14

     

    

 

The
rights contained in this Section 5 shall terminate on the date that all Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction
pursuant to Rule 144 (including without limitation, volume restriction and without the need for current public information requested
by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144 (i) (2), if applicable).

 

5.3 Expenses.
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company,
whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.  The fees and expenses referred
to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation,
fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed
for trading and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws; (ii) processing expenses, including, but
not limited to, printing expenses, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses and customary marketing expenses; (iii) fees and
disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company; (iv) fees and disbursements of one counsel to the
Participating Holders as a group with respect to the registration rights described in this Agreement.

 

5.4 Offering.
In the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a
Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by, or on behalf of, the Company,
or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used
for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the
holders of Registrable Securities (or as otherwise may be acceptable to such holder) without being named therein as an “underwriter,”
then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement until such time as the Staff
and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In making such reduction, the Company
shall (i) reduce, and if necessary, eliminate, in order (A) any Registrable Securities that are not Securities or then; (B) any
Registrable Securities that are not Securities, then (ii) if necessary, reduce the number of shares to be included by all Investors
on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each Investor)
unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Investor or a particular set of Investors are resulting in the Staff or the SEC’s
“by or on behalf of the Company” offering position, in which event the shares held by such Investor or set of Investors
shall be the only shares subject to reduction (and if by a set of Investors on a pro rata basis by such Investors or on such other
basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of shares by all such Investors).  In addition, in the event
that the Staff or the SEC requires any Investor seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this
Agreement to be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become
effective, and such Investor does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each
such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Investor, until
such time as the Staff or the SEC does not require such identification or until such Investor accepts such identification and
the manner thereof. Notwithstanding anything else to the foregoing, any reduction pursuant to this paragraph will first reduce
all securities that are not Registrable Securities. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph,
an affected Investor shall have the right to require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Investor,
the Company to file a registration statement within 30 days of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 promulgated
by the SEC under the 1933 Act or required by the Staff or the SEC) for resale by such Investor in a manner acceptable to such
Investor, and the Company shall following such request cause to be and keep effective such registration statement in the same
manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for registration statements hereunder, in each case until such time as (i)
all Registrable Securities held by such Investor have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement
in a manner acceptable to such Investor; (ii) all Registrable Securities may be resold by such Investor without restriction (including,
without limitation, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule 144 (taking account of any Staff position with respect to “affiliate”
status) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable); or
(iii) such Investor agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor
as to all Registrable Securities held by such Investor and that have not theretofore been included in a Registration Statement
under this Agreement (it being understood that the special demand right under this sentence may be exercised by an Investor multiple
times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order to permit the resale thereof by such Investor as
contemplated above).

 

    15

     

    

 

5.5 Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, each Participating Holder and each holder of Registrable
Shares and its officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, representatives, employees and agents, successors and assigns,
and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor, Participating Holder or holder of Registrable Shares within the meaning
of the 1933 Act, against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges,
costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts
paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing
or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court
or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an
indemnified party is or may be a party thereto, to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company
specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction
in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document
or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by
the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and
relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or
qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has
affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s
behalf and will reimburse such Investor, Participating Holder or holder of Registrable Shares and each such officer, director
or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such Claim or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if
and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor, Participating
Holder or holder of Registrable Shares or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement
or Prospectus.

 

(b) Indemnification
by the Investors. Each Investor, Participating Holder and each holder of Registrable Shares agrees, severally but not jointly,
to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders,
partner, representatives and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any Claims resulting
from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement
or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing
by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto. In no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all
expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.5 and the amount of any damages such
Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the
sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

    16

     

    

 

(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying
party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense
of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification
hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses;
(b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such person; or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person entitled to indemnification hereunder, based upon written advice
of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which
case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense
of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such
person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall
not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially
adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation.  It is understood that the indemnifying
party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate
firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties.  No indemnifying party will, except with the consent
of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified
party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

 

(d) Contribution.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party
or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to
contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In no event shall the contribution obligation
of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by
such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.5 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon
the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

    17

     

    

  

5.6 Cooperation
by Participating Holder. Each Participating Holder shall furnish to the Company or the Underwriter, as applicable,
such information regarding the Investor and the distribution proposed by it as the Company may reasonably request in connection
with any registration or offering referred to in this Section 5. Each Participating Holder shall cooperate as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement with respect to such registration, and
for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such registration statement, shall provide to the Company,
in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding the Investor and its plan of distribution of
the Securities included in such registration as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare such registration
statement, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law
in connection therewith.

 

6. Transfer
Restrictions.

 

6.1 Transfer
or Resale. Each Investor understands that:

 

Except
as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above, the sale or resale of all or any portion of the Securities
has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and all or any portion of
the Securities may not be transferred unless:

 

(1) the
Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act;

 

(2) the
Investor shall have delivered to the Company a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to
an exemption from such registration;

 

(3) the
Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act
(or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities
only in accordance with this Section 6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor;

 

(4) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144; or

 

(5) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Regulation S”);

 

and,
in each case, the Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel, in
form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein
to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending
arrangement.

 

6.2 Transfer
Agent Instructions. If an Investor provides the Company with a customary opinion of counsel, that shall be in form, substance
and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without
registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected, the Company shall permit the transfer and promptly instruct
its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as
specified by such Investor. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm
to the Investors, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges
that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6.2 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event
of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 6.2, that the Investors shall be entitled,
in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

    18

     

    

 

6.3 Lock-Up.
Each Investor hereby agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or
enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any Common Stock (or other securities)
of the Company held by the Investor (other than Registrable Securities owned by the Investor covered by the Proposed Registration)
during the 180-day period following the effective date of an underwritten public offering of securities of the Company (including,
without limitation, to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and
(ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or
NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto) (the “Lock-Up Period”); provided, that
substantially all current holders, including all officers, directors and 5% holders, of the Company’s voting securities
are bound by the same requirement during the Lock-Up Period. The obligations described in this Section 6.3 shall not apply
to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-l or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in
the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future.
The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each certificate with a legend as substantially set forth below
with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such 180-day period. To effect
the above, the Investor agrees to execute a market stand-off agreement with the underwriters in the offering in customary form
consistent with the provisions of this Section 6.3.

 

7. Conditions

The
obligation of each Investor hereunder to purchase the Securities at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the
Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for each Investor’s sole benefit and

        Investors:

         

        As
        per the contact information provided on the signature pages hereof.

         

9.2 Survival
of Representations and Warranties. Each party hereto covenants and agrees that the representations and warranties of such
party contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations,
warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

 

9.3 Indemnification.

 

(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees
and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable
attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action,
claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to
which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to
be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts
as they are incurred by such Person.

 

(b) Promptly
after receipt by any Investor (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which
would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to Section 9.4, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company
shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and
shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person
so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially
prejudiced by such failure to notify.  In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain
its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the
Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment
of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between them.  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against
any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not affect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

 

    21

     

    

 

9.4 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained
herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties, oral and written, with respect to the subject matter
contained herein.

 

9.5 Third
Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors
and assigns, and, except for persons entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 5.5, is not for the benefit of, nor
may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

 

9.6 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns.
Neither the Company nor any Investor shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof, any Investor
may, without the consent of the Company, assign its rights hereunder to any person that purchases Units or the shares or warrants
included therein or issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof or as dividends with respect to the Series C Preferred Shares
in a private transaction from an Investor or to any of its “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the 1934 Act
or any subsequent person acquiring such Units or shares in accordance herewith.

 

9.7 Most
Favored Nation. While any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall not enter into any public or private offering
of its securities (including securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) with any individual or entity (an “Other
Investor”) that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting such Other Investor in a manner more favorable
in any material respect to such Other Investor than the rights and benefits established in favor of the Investor by this Agreement
or the Series C Preferred Shares or Warrant unless, in any such case, the Investor has been provided with written notice (the
“Company Notice”) and no less than 10 days to exercise the right, but not the obligation, to exchange all of
the Securities held by it (and its rights and obligations hereunder) for an equivalent amount of the securities to be sold to,
and the rights and obligations to be established with, the Other Investor, based on the purchase price paid by Investor under
this Agreement for the Securities so exchanged, except that Investor shall retain (i) a more favorable Warrant exercise price
of the Other Investor and (ii) a senior liquidation preference to the Other Investor. In order to exercise such right, an Investor
shall send the Company a written notice of its exercise (the “Investor Notice”). If the Investor Notice is
not received by the Company within ten (10) days of Investor’s receipt of the Company Notice, the rights under this Section
shall terminate with respect to such offering of the Company’s securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section
9.8 shall not include: (i) securities issued in an underwritten public offering by the Company (including any warrants issued
to the underwriters); (ii) the issuance and/or sale of securities by the Company in connection with a business acquisition, joint
venture or partnership; (iii) the issuance by the Company of shares of common stock upon the exercise of a stock option or warrant
or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof; (iv) the issuance of securities by the Company as compensation;
and (v) the issuance of securities by the Company under agreements already in place and disclosed to Investors as of the date
of this Agreement.

 

    22

     

    

 

9.8 Public
Disclosures. The Company shall (i) on or before 8:30 a.m., New York time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day after the date
of the First Closing under this Agreement issue a press release (the “Press Release”) disclosing the material
terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (ii) on or before 8:30 a.m., New York time, within four
(4) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing all the material terms of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching all the material Transaction
Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement (and all schedules to this Agreement) (including all attachments, the
“Form 8-K Filing”). From and after the issuance of the Press Release, the Company shall have disclosed all
material, non-public information (if any) delivered to any of the Investors by the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Neither the Company nor any Investor shall issue any press releases or any other public
statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled,
without the prior approval of any Investor, to make the Press Release and any other press release or other public disclosure with
respect to such transactions (A) in substantial conformity with the Form 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (B) as
is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (A) each Investor shall be consulted by the
Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Unless required by law or
regulation, without the prior written consent of the applicable Investor (which may be granted or withheld in such Investor’s
sole discretion), the Company shall not disclose the name of such Investor in any filing (other than the Form 8-K Filing, any
Registration Statement registering the Securities and any other filing as is required by applicable law and regulations), announcement,
release or otherwise.

 

9.9 Binding
Effect; Benefits. This Agreement and all the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to
confer on any persons other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

9.10 Amendment;
Waivers. All modifications, amendments or waivers to this Agreement shall require the written consent of each of (i)
the Company and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Investors (based on the number of Securities purchased hereunder).

 

9.11 Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving
effect to the conflict of law provisions thereof, and the parties hereto.

 

9.12 Arbitration.
Each Investor and the Company agree that they shall resolve all disputes, controversies and differences which may arise between
them, out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, after discussion in good faith attempting to reach an amicable
solution.  Provided that such disputes, controversies and differences remain unsettled after discussion between the parties,
both parties agree that those unsettled matter(s) shall be finally settled by arbitration in New York, New York in accordance
with the latest Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators appointed
as follows: each party will appoint one arbitrator and the appointed arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If within
thirty (30) days after confirmation of the last appointed arbitrator, such arbitrators have failed to agree upon a chairman, then
the chairman will be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.  The decision of the tribunal shall be final and
may not be appealed.  The arbitral tribunal may, in its discretion award fees and costs as part of its award. Judgment on
the arbitral award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, including any court that has jurisdiction over either
party or any of their assets.  At the request of any party, the arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in the utmost
secrecy subject to a requirement of law to disclose.  In such case, all documents, testimony and records shall be received,
heard and maintained by the arbitrators in secrecy, available for inspection only by any party and by their attorneys and experts
who shall agree, in advance and in writing, to receive all such information in secrecy.

 

    23

     

    

 

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

 

9.14 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile, which
shall be deemed an original.

 

  9.15 Independent
Nature of Investors. The obligations of each Investor under this Agreement or other transaction document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any other Investor under this Agreement or any other transaction document.  Each Investor shall be responsible only
for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.  The decision of each Investor to purchase
Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of
any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results
of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Investor
or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability
to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.  Nothing
contained herein or in any other transaction document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be
deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other transaction document, each
Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other transaction
documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. Each Investor has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.

[1] The 2018 Target Bonus Opportunity is intended to encourage superior performance and achievement of the Company’s strategic business objectives.  The bonus (if any) awarded under this plan may be adjusted downward at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, based on its assessment of the quantitative and qualitative performance of the associate.  Factors that may cause an adjustment include, but are not limited to, a comparison of the associate’s performance to others in the program, economic or market considerations, etc.
[2] Per our 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), Pretax income shall take into account and adjust for goodwill charges, losses or expenses on early retirement of debt, impairment charges, and acquisition costs related to the purchase or merger of a public company, in accordance with the Plan. Pretax Income is calculated as Net Earnings attributable to Lennar plus/minus income tax expense/benefit.
PAYMENTS
		
	•
	The payment of any bonus shall be made no later than April 15th of the year following the fiscal year to which the bonus calculation applies, or if such day is not a business day, the next business day. 

		
	•
	100% of the bonus payment is contingent on the recipient being employed with the Company on the applicable payment date.  No bonus will be earned or paid unless the participant remains employed in good standing through such date. 

My participation in this 2018 Target Bonus Opportunity program shall not entitle me to remain in the employ of the Company. My employment is at-will. The Target Bonus Opportunity will be adjusted annually to be in alignment with Company goals.
This document constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and me with respect to my bonus compensation and other matters stated herein; and supersedes and replaces all other agreements and negotiations, whether written or oral, pertaining to my bonus compensation or any other matter stated herein. This document may not be amended unless done so in writing and signed by all signatories to this document.
I affirm that the Alternative Dispute Resolution Policy set forth in Section 1.8 of the Associate Reference Guide shall apply to and govern all disputes 1) under this Target Bonus Opportunity and 2) related to my employment.
I also understand and agree that for twelve (12) months following termination of my employment with Lennar, I will not, directly or indirectly, employ or offer employment to any Lennar Associate or solicit, recruit, influence or encourage any Lennar Associate to terminate his or her employment with Lennar. Lennar Associate shall mean any person who is, or who during the three (3) month period prior to such time had been, an employee of Lennar.
The Company and Associate acknowledge and agree that bonuses are not automatic, but are awarded for excellent individual performance, not just excellent market conditions. Therefore, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may reduce any bonus amount at its sole discretion under any circumstance, and all such decisions will be final and binding. Receiving bonus compensation under this agreement does not indicate or suggest that I will receive, or will be entitled to, any additional bonus compensation at any time.
