OPTION AGREEMENT

 

This OPTION AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”) is made as of August [-], 2018 among GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“GlassBridge”), Humilis Holdings Private Equity LP (“Humilis,” formerly known
as Spear Point Capital Management LLC), NXSN Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition”),
and Nexsan corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“Nexsan”). GlassBridge, Humilis, Acquisition and Nexsan,
shall individually be referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

 

WHEREAS, GlassBridge and Humilis collectively
own 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Acquisition;

 

WHEREAS, Acquisition directly owns 100%
of the single class of common stock (“Nexsan Common Stock”) of Nexsan;

 

WHEREAS, Acquisition intends to grant Humilis
or its assignee, Humilis Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), or StoreCentric,
Inc. (“StoreCentric”), an exclusive option to purchase all but not less than all the Nexsan Common Stock
at any time during the term of this option agreement subject to compliance with the requirements of Delaware law, subject to the
terms set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, Acquisition is granting this option
in favor of Humilis as partial consideration to allow GlassBridge, to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Nexsan
owned by Humilis pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement entered into between GlassBridge and Humilis simultaneously with the
execution of this Agreement;

 

In consideration of
the mutual covenants and representations herein set forth, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.             Granting
the Option. Acquisition agrees that, on the date of signing this Agreement, it shall irrevocably grant Humilis or its assignee,
Holdings or StoreCentric, an option to purchase the Nexsan Common Stock in such way of exercise as stipulated herein. Such option
shall be granted to Humilis after this Agreement is signed by the Parties hereto and shall be irrevocable within the term of this
Agreement once granted.

 

2.             Term.
This Agreement shall take effect after being signed by the parties hereto and shall not be terminated until Humilis acquires the
Nexsan Common Stock, provided, however, that if Humilis does not exercise its rights hereunder within sixty days of the
signing of this Agreement, this Agreement shall lapse.

 

3.             Time
of Exercise. Acquisition recognizes that:

 

a.           Humilis
or any assignee may exercise the option in whole at any time within the term of this Agreement; and

 

b.           The
option granted under this Agreement may be transferred in whole but not in part to Holdings or StorCentric without separate approval
of Acquisition or Nexsan.

 

     

     

    

  

4.             Exercise
Consideration. Upon exercise of this option, Humilis shall be entitled to acquire the Nexsan Common Stock of Nexsan in exchange
for $6,025,000. The option may be exercised by execution of an agreement by and among Humilis, Acquisition and StoreCentric thereto
pursuant to which all of the ownership of the Nexsan Common Stock is sold assigned and transferred from Acquisition to Humilis
or StoreCentric (a “Nexsan Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Nexsan Stock Purchase Agreement may contain
working capital adjustments, escrow provisions, purchase price adjustments, guaranties, indemnification provisions and other terms
and provisions negotiated by the parties thereto which may have an effect of lowering the consideration payable to Acquisition
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Nexsan Stock Purchase Agreement. Execution of a Nexsan Stock Purchase Agreement
by Humilis or StoreCentric and Acquisition shall be conclusive evidence that this option has been exercised in full and none of
Humilis, Acquisition, GlassBridge or their parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, general partners, limited partners, stockholders
and other equity holders shall thereafter have any claims against any person or entity that this Agreement and/or the Nexsan Stock
Purchase Agreement was invalid or unenforceable or that the option granted hereunder was not properly exercised. By entering into
this Agreement, Humilis, Acquisition, GlassBridge and their parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, general partners, limited
partners, stockholders and other equity holders acknowledge and agree that they hereby approve and consent to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Nexsan Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and
such approval and consent shall be deemed to include and constitute any and all prior written consents, waivers or approvals required
or advisable to be received from Humilis, Acquisition, GlassBridge and their parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, general
partners, limited partners, stockholders and other equity holders in connection with this Agreement or the Nexsan Stock Purchase
Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, no consideration, other than the consideration payable under the Nexsan Stock Purchase
Agreement to Acquisition shall be payable in connection with the exercise of the option granted hereunder.
