WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to govern the rights, duties and obligations of the Company, the Silk Investor and the Conversant Investors following the Rights Offering.

NOW, THEREFORE, 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:

1. Board Matters.

(a) Investor Board Representatives.

(i) For so long as the Conversant Investors together with their Affiliates and Permitted Transferees (the “Conversant Parties”) Beneficially Own at least 33% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, Investor A shall have the right to designate four (4) designees for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors (which slate shall include a number of nominees equal to the number of director positons to be filled); provided, that one (1) of such designees shall be required to be “independent” in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations in effect at such time of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), as determined by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.

1

(ii) For so long as the Conversant Parties Beneficially Own less than 33% but at least 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, Investor A shall have the right to designate a number of directors, rounded to the nearest whole number, equal to (i) the quotient of (A) the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis Beneficially Owned by the Conversant Parties divided by (B) the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, multiplied by (ii) the total number of directors then on the Board of Directors.

(iii) For so long as the Conversant Parties Beneficially Own less than 15% but at least 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, Investor A shall have the right to designate one (1) designee for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors (which slate shall include a number of nominees equal to the number of director positons to be filled).

(iv) Following the forty-two (42) month anniversary of the date hereof, so long as the Conversant Parties Beneficially Own shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Beneficially Own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, Investor A shall have the right to designate five (5) designees for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors (which slate shall include a number of nominees equal to the number of director positons to be filled)

(v) For so long as the Silk Investor together with its Affiliates (the “Silk Parties”) Beneficially Own at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, the Silk Investor shall have the right to designate two (2) designees for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors (which slate shall include a number of nominees equal to the number of director positons to be filled).

(vi) Once the Conversant Parties Beneficially Own less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, the rights of the Conversant Investors pursuant to this Section 1(a) shall terminate and Investor A shall not have the right to designate a director for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors any directors pursuant to this Agreement. Once the Silk Parties Beneficially Own less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, the rights of the Silk Investor pursuant to this Section 1(a) shall terminate and Silk shall not have the right to designate a director for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors any directors pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Promptly following the Closing Date, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Company shall cause Ben Harris, David W. Johnson, Noah Beren, Shmuel Lieberman, Max J. Levy and Elliot R. Zibel to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors, to the extent not already on the Board of Directors, with Ben Harris and David W. Johnson appointed in Class I on the Board of Directors, with Noah Beren and Shmuel Lieberman appointed in Class II on the Board of Directors and with Max J. Levy and Elliot R. Zibel appointed in Class III on the Board of Directors. For so long a party has the right to designate a designee for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 1(a) (each, an “Investor Board Representative”), the Company shall cause each Investor Board Representative to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors (including, to the extent necessary, by expanding the size of the Board of Directors and appointing a number of Investor Board Representatives to the Board of Directors sufficient to maintain the number of Investor Board Representatives set forth in Section 1(a) on the Board of Directors (and, to the extent necessary, calling a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders for the purpose of amending the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to allow such expansion)). For so long as the Conversant Parties Beneficially Own at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis, Investor A shall be entitled to designate the chairperson of the Board of Directors.

(c) The election or appointment of the Investor Board Representatives will be subject to satisfaction of all legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and, for all such appointments or elections after the election or appointment of the initial Investor Board Representatives, to the reasonable approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) of the four (4)—member Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (two members of which will be comprised of non-Conversant and non-Silk designees). If the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board does so not approve a designee, Investor A or the Silk Investors (as applicable that made such designation) will have the exclusive right to designate a replacement who shall be treated for all purposes as such person’s designee hereunder, subject to the approval process described in this Section 1(c). The Company shall require that all directors comply in all respects with applicable law (including with respect to confidentiality) and the Company’s corporate governance guidelines, code of business conduct and ethics and confidentiality and trading policies and guidelines in effect from time to time.

(d) So long as Investor A or the Silk Investor has the right to designate an Investor Board Representative to the Board of Directors, members of the Board of Directors other than the Investor Board Representative(s) shall have the exclusive right to designate persons on behalf of the Board of Directors for election at annual stockholders meetings for, or to fill vacancies in, all director positions, other than the Investor Board Representative(s).

(e) Subject to this Section 1, so long as Investor A has the right to designate an Investor Board Representative for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors, the Company shall not, without the prior written approval of Investor A, (i) increase the size of the Board of Directors in excess of nine (9) members or (ii) decrease the size of the Board of Directors if such decrease would require the resignation of an Investor Board Representative nominated by Investor A from the Board of Directors.

3

(f) The Company will reimburse the Investor Board Representatives for their respective reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with travel to or from and attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors. Each Investor Board Representative will receive the same director compensation as each other non-executive director of the Board of Directors. Each of Investor A and the Silk Investor agree, upon the Company’s request, to timely provide the Company with accurate and complete information relating to each Investor Board Representative nominated by such party as may be required to be disclosed by the Company under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(g) Notwithstanding any rights to be granted with respect to the Investor Board Representatives hereunder, the Board of Directors may exclude any Investor Board Representative from access to any Board of Directors or committee materials or information or meeting or portion thereof or written consent if the Board of Directors determines, in good faith, including such Investor Board Representative in discussions relating to such determination (but not requiring the affirmative vote of such Investor Board Representative), that such access would reasonably be expected to result in a conflict of interest with the Company; provided, that such exclusion shall be limited to the portion of the Board of Directors or committee material or information and/or meeting or written consent that is the basis for such exclusion and shall not extend to any portion of the Board of Directors or committee material and/or meeting that does not involve or pertain to such exclusion.

(h) Subject to Section 1(c), for so long as Investor A or the Silk Investor has the right to designate an Investor Board Representative for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election, the Company and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors shall take such action as is required under applicable law, the rules and regulations in effect at such time of the NYSE or such other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted or under the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation to include on the Board of Directors or in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors such person nominated pursuant to Section 1. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Investor Board Representatives elected as a director of the Company and the Company shall solicit proxies for such persons to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors.

(i) For so long as Investor A or the Silk Investor has the right to designate an Investor Board Representative, in the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of an Investor Board Representative, Investor A or the Silk Investor (as applicable) may designate, another individual to be elected to fill the vacancy created thereby, and the Company hereby agrees to take, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same.

(j) So long as Investor A or the Silk Investor has the right to designate an Investor Board Representative for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors, any transaction, agreement, contract or other arrangement (including without limitation, with respect to Investor A, any mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 7 of the Certificate of Designations and any optional

4

redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designations) by and among the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any the Conversant Investors or the Silk Investor or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall solely require the approval of a majority of the independent and disinterested directors (which, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of Investor A may include any Investor Board Representative designated by the Silk Investor and in the case of the Silk Investor may include any Investor Board Representatives designated by Investor A). Investor A and the Silk Investor shall notify and fully inform the full Board of Directors of any actual or potential conflict of interest that arises due to any such proposed transaction, agreement, contract or other arrangement with such party or its Affiliates.

(k) In the event that Investor A or the Silk Investor ceases to have the right to designate a director pursuant to Section 1(a) (or the number of directors which Investor A has the right to designate in reduced in accordance with the terms of Section 1(a)), any applicable Investor Board Representative will not be required to resign (and Investor A or the Silk Investor (as applicable) will not be required to cause them to resign), such Investor Board Representative shall continue to serve until the next regularly scheduled annual stockholders meeting at which directors are to be elected, and the related rights, including pursuant to Section 1(d), shall continue to apply until such time. All obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 1 relating to any such Investor Board Representative shall not apply to such election or at any time thereafter.

5

(iii) a Transfer of Prohibited Shares in connection with a sale of the Company approved by the Board of Directors or in connection with a tender offer into which a majority of the Unaffiliated Shareholders of the Company have tendered their respective shares of Common Stock;

5. Preemptive Rights.

(a) So long as the Conversant Parties Beneficially Own at least 14.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis, each Conversant Investor will have the preemptive rights set forth in this Section 5 with respect to any issuance of any Equity Securities that are issued after the date hereof (any such issuance, other than those described in clauses (i) through (vi) below, a “Preemptive Rights Issuance”), except for (i) issuances of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares or other form of equity-based or equity-related awards (including restricted stock units) to employees (or prospective employees who have accepted an offer of employment), directors or consultants, or pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements or arrangements or programs in effect as of the Closing Date (including the New LTIP (as defined in the A&R Investment Agreement)), or thereafter adopted by the Board of Directors, (ii) issuances of securities pursuant to any merger, joint venture, partnership, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction or any other direct or indirect acquisition by the Company, whereby the Company’s securities comprise, in whole or in part, the consideration paid by the Company in such transaction, which transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors and, to the extent then applicable, approved by Investor A in accordance with Section 4, (iii)

8

issuances of shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise of any of preferred stock, option or Derivative Instrument, in each case, outstanding as of the Closing Date or if issued after the Closing Date, were either exempt from Investor A’s rights under this Section 5(a) or were offered to the Conversant Investors in accordance with this Section 5, (iv) by reason of a dividend, stock split or other distribution of Common Stock, (v) issuances of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the A&R Investment Agreement (including issuances of Common Stock upon conversation of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designations), or (vi) issuances of any Equity Securities with respect to which Investor A waives in writing the rights of all of the Conversant Investors pursuant to this Section 5.

(b) If the Company at any time, or from time to time, effects a Preemptive Rights Issuance, the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Conversant Investors and each of their Affiliates party to this Agreement that holds any Equity Securities of the Company (each, an “Investor Holder”) (but in no event later than ten (10) days prior to such issuance), which notice shall set forth the number and type of the securities to be issued, the issuance date, the offerees or transferees, the price per security, and all of the other terms and conditions of such issuance, which shall be deemed updated by delivery of the final documentation for such issuance to the Conversant Investors. Each Investor Holder may, by written notice to the Company (a “Preemptive Rights Notice”) delivered no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the Preemptive Rights Notice, elect to purchase a number of securities specified in such Preemptive Rights Notice (which number may be any number up to but not exceeding the number of securities which, if divided by the sum of (i) such number of securities plus (ii) the number of securities issued in such Preemptive Rights Issuance, would represent a percentage that is equal to (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis if applicable) that such Investor Holder owns immediately prior to such Preemptive Rights Issuance, divided by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding on an as-converted basis), on the same terms and conditions as such Preemptive Rights Issuance (it being understood and agreed that the price per security that the Investor Holders shall pay shall be the same as the price per security set forth in the Preemptive Rights Notice); provided, that any Investor Holder shall not be entitled to acquire any such shares of Common Stock to the extent the issuance of such Common Stock to such Investor Holder would require approval of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the rules and listing standards of NYSE, in which case the Company may consummate the proposed issuance prior to obtaining approval of the stockholders of the Company (subject to compliance by the Company with Section 5(d)). If an Investor Holder exercises its preemptive rights hereunder with respect to such Preemptive Rights Issuance, the Company shall (or shall cause such Subsidiary to) issue to such Investor Holder (or its designated Affiliate(s)) the number of securities specified in such Preemptive Rights Notice promptly thereafter (and provided that, if such Investor Holder shall have so notified the Company at least three Business Days prior to the issuance date set forth in the Company’s notice, at such Investor Holder’s election such purchase and sale shall occur on the same date as, or substantially concurrently with, the Preemptive Rights Issuance).

9

(c) The election by any Investor Holder not to exercise its preemptive rights hereunder in any one instance shall not affect its right as to any future Preemptive Rights Issuances.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that any Investor Holder exercises its preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 5 and the purchase or issuance of such securities would require the Company to obtain approval of its stockholders pursuant to the listing rules of the NYSE or such national securities exchange that the Common Stock is listed upon, if any, the Company and the Investor Holder will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith the terms of any such transaction, including without limitation the terms of any securities of the Company issued pursuant to such transaction to the Investor Holder, such that the issuance to the Investor Holder would not require such stockholder approval while providing the Investor Holder and/or its Affiliates with substantially similar benefits and rights of such securities issued in the Preemptive Rights Issuance.

6. Confidentiality. Each Conversant Investor and the Silk Investor will hold, and will cause its respective Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, unless disclosure to a regulatory authority is necessary in connection with any reasonably necessary regulatory approval, examination or inspection or unless disclosure is requested or required by judicial or administrative process or by other requirement of law or the applicable requirements of any regulatory agency or relevant stock exchange (in which case, other than in connection with a disclosure in connection with a routine audit or examination by, or document request from, a regulatory or self-regulatory authority, bank examiner or auditor, the party disclosing such information shall provide the other party with prior written notice of such permitted disclosure to the extent legally permitted), all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the Company furnished to such party by or on behalf of the Company or its representatives (except to the extent that such information (a) was previously known by such party from other sources, provided that such source was not known by such party to be bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the other party in relation to such information, (b) becomes available to the public through no violation of this Section 6 by such party, (c) is later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished, or (d) is independently developed without use of or reference to the Information), and neither party hereto shall release or disclose such Information to any other Person, except its directors, officers, employees, members, auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, financing sources and other consultants and advisors (“Representatives”) (it being understood that each Conversant Investor and the Silk Investor will be responsible for any breach of the terms of this Section 6 by any of its Representatives). Nothing herein shall prevent any Conversant Investor, the Silk Investor, or any of their respective Affiliates which is a private equity or other investment fund from making customary disclosures to its current, future or potential investors, in each case so long as the recipient of such information is subject to a written confidentiality agreement, policy or obligation. Each Conversant Investor and the Silk Investor confirms that it is aware and that its Representatives have been advised that the United States securities laws prohibit any Person who has material non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling securities of such company on the basis of such information or from communicating such information to any other Person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such Person may purchase or sell such securities.

This Agreement shall be automatically effective as of the Closing (as defined in the A&R Investment Agreement), without further action by any party hereto. If the A&R Investment Agreement is terminated for any reason, then this Agreement shall be void and of no force and effect.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

(f) 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 together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

(g) Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any conflict or choice of law principles of the State of Delaware or otherwise that would result in the application of any laws other than the laws of the State of Delaware. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court in the State of Delaware) for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action, suit or proceeding and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such action, suit or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER IN THIS SECTION 8(h).
