2.1 Fortress Director on the Board.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Board shall take (or shall have taken) all action necessary and appropriate to cause Xxxx Xxxxx to be appointed as the initial Fortress Director to the Board.

(b) Following the Closing Date, and for so long as either (i) any Preferred Equity Investment is outstanding or (ii) the Investor Parties hold five percent (5%) or more of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (assuming all securities held by the Investor Parties that are convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock have been so converted or exchanged) (such period of time, the “Governance Rights Period”), subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, at each annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Broad Street at which Directors are to be elected to the Board, Broad Street will nominate and use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies for the Fortress Director to be elected or re-elected (as applicable) to the Board in a manner no less rigorous in all material respects than the manner in which Broad Street supports the nomination of its other nominees for election.

(c) Fortress shall timely provide Broad Street with such information regarding the Fortress Director as shall be reasonably requested by the Board or any committee thereof and which is required to be or customarily disclosed for Directors, candidates for Directors and their Affiliates in a proxy statement or other filings under applicable Law or stock exchange rules or listing standards, or required or advisable to be used to assess the eligibility of Directors and candidates under applicable Law, Broad Street’s generally applicable governance policies or stock exchange rules or listing standards. All such requests shall be reasonably consistent in scope and timing with requests made with respect to Broad Street’s other Directors.

(d) During the Governance Rights Period, in the event of the death, disability, resignation or removal of a Fortress Director, any individual nominated by or at the direction of the Board or any duly authorized committee thereof to fill such vacancy shall be, and Broad Street shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such vacancy to be, filled, as soon as possible, by a new Fortress Director identified by Fortress (such Person, the “Replacement Fortress Director”), and Broad Street shall take or cause to be taken, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Broad Street nor the Board shall be under any obligation to appoint any Person (including any Replacement Fortress Director) in the event of the failure of any Fortress Director to be elected or re-elected (as applicable) to the Board at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Broad Street at which such Fortress Director stood for election but was nevertheless not elected; provided that, in the event any Fortress Director is not elected or re-elected (as applicable) to the Board, Fortress will have the right to propose a different Person to join the Board, in which case the Board shall promptly appoint such Person as a Fortress Director until the next annual meeting of Broad Street’s stockholders. The failure of the stockholders of Broad Street to elect any Person (including any Fortress Director) to the Board shall not affect the obligation of Broad Street to nominate the Fortress Director for election pursuant to Section 2.1(b) in any future election of Directors. Neither Broad Street nor the Board will remove the Fortress Director during the Governance Rights Period without the Approval of Fortress.

(e) Broad Street will at all times provide the Fortress Director (in his or her capacity as a Director) with the same rights to indemnification, exculpation, insurance and other similar benefits and protections that it provides to its other Directors (other than the Chairman of the Board); provided, however, that the Fortress Director shall not receive any compensation from Broad Street or its Affiliates in his or her capacity as a Director.

(f) The Board will not form or utilize committees or company policies for the purpose of discriminating against any Fortress Director, including in order to limit participation in substantive deliberations of the Board, except that the Board may utilize committees to limit the participation of a Fortress Director to the extent a majority of the members of the Board (excluding the Fortress Director) reasonably determine in good faith (based on advice from outside counsel) that doing so is reasonably necessary to address a conflict of interest and such action is not intended to circumvent the provisions of this Agreement.

(g) Fortress shall only designate an individual to be the Fortress Director (i) who Fortress believes in good faith has the requisite skill and experience to serve as a director of a publicly traded company, (ii) who is not prohibited from or disqualified from serving as a director of Broad Street pursuant to any applicable Law or any rule or regulation of the SEC or any national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, and (iii) with respect to whom no event required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act has occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Broad Street nor the Board shall be under any obligation to nominate or appoint to the Board, or solicit votes for, any Person in the event that the Board reasonably determines in good faith (after

consultation with outside counsel) that such Person fails to meet the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that the Board reasonably objects to the nomination, election or appointment of an individual as the Fortress Director pursuant to this Section 2.1(g), Fortress will be permitted to designate a Replacement Fortress Director (which Replacement Fortress Director will also be subject to the requirements of this Section 2.1(g)).

(h) Upon the expiration of the Governance Rights Period, Fortress shall promptly cause the Fortress Director to tender his or her resignation from the Board and any committees of the Board. In addition, Fortress shall cause the Fortress Director to resign from the Board and any committees of the Board if such Fortress Director, as determined reasonably by the Board in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel, (i) is prohibited or disqualified from serving as a director of Board Street or a member of any such committees pursuant to any applicable Law or any rule or regulation of any national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, (ii) has engaged in acts or omissions constituting a breach of the Fortress Director’s duty of loyalty to Broad Street and its stockholders, (iii) has engaged in acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or an intentional violation of Law and that are felonies, violations of Law involving moral turpitude or are materially adverse to Broad Street, or (iv) has engaged in any transaction involving Broad Street from which the Fortress Director derived an improper personal benefit that was not disclosed to the Board prior to the authorization of such transaction if such disclosure is required pursuant to applicable corporate governance policies of Broad Street; provided, however, that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(g), the Investor shall have the right to replace such resigning Fortress Director with a Replacement Fortress Director in accordance with Section 2.1(d).

(i) In addition to any vote or consent of the Board or the stockholders of Broad Street required by applicable Law or the Charter or Bylaws, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as this Agreement is in effect, any action by the Board to increase the Total Number of Directors shall require the approval of the Fortress Director.

2.2 Committee Representation.

(a) For so long as any Fortress Director is serving as a Director pursuant to Section 2.1, upon the request of Fortress at any time and from time to time, Broad Street and the Board shall take all action necessary and appropriate to cause the Fortress Director to be a member of each committee of the Board as Fortress may request (subject to applicable independence and other requirements of the SEC or any national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a), any committee of the Board formed with authority and jurisdiction over the review or approval of transactions or other matters involving, in the reasonable judgment of the independent Directors (excluding, for this purpose, any Fortress Director), a conflict of interest between Broad Street or one or more of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Fortress or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand,

and which has powers limited exclusively to such review or approval need not include the Fortress Director.

2.3 Board Observer Rights. Throughout the Governance Rights Period, in addition to the Fortress Director, Broad Street will permit an individual designated in writing by Fortress from time to time (each, an “Observer”) to attend meetings of the Board or any committee thereof, in each case as a non-voting observer, and will give such individual notice of such meetings at the same time and in the same manner as notice to the Directors or other members thereof. Such Observer shall be entitled to concurrent receipt of any materials provided to the Board or any committee thereof; provided, however, that such Observer shall agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided; and provided further, that Broad Street reserves the right to withhold any materials and to exclude such Observer from any meeting or the relevant portions thereof to the extent that access to such materials or attendance at such meeting (i) could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between Broad Street and its counsel or (ii) if such Observer has a conflict of interest with respect to a matter to be discussed at such meeting. As of the Closing Date, Fortress’ initial Observer is Xxx Xxxxxxx.

2.4 Other Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) neither the Fortress Director nor any Observer shall receive any compensation from Broad Street in their capacities as such and (b) each Fortress Director and each Observer must be an employee of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, it is acknowledged that the Fortress Director may serve on the board of directors of and in other roles with other companies.

2.5 Voting Agreement. Throughout the Governance Rights Period, each Insider Stockholder (solely in its capacity as a stockholder (including Beneficial Owner) of Broad Street) agrees to, and agrees to cause each of its Affiliates to, cause each Voting Security of Broad Street owned by it or any such Affiliate or over which it or any such Affiliate has voting control to be voted (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if the stockholders of Broad Street are requested to vote through the execution of written consents in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Broad Street), in favor of each Fortress Director nominated to serve on the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, no Insider Stockholder shall directly or indirectly take any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to result in, Fortress, any other Investor Party or any Fortress Director being deprived of the rights contemplated by this Agreement.
