AMENDED AND RESTATED

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of March 7, 2025 (this “Agreement”), and amends and restates in its entirety the Common Stock Purchase Agreement originally entered into by and among C/M Capital Master Fund LP, a ___________ limited liability company (the “Investor”), and Eastside Distilling, Inc., d/b/a/ Beeline Holdings, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) on December 31, 2024, pursuant to that certain letter agreement entered into between the parties on such date.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the parties desire that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Company may issue and sell to the Investor, from time to time as provided herein, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, up to the lesser of (a) $10,000,000 and (b) 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of this Agreement (to the extent applicable under Section 2.4 hereof), unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than such 19.99% (“Stockholder Approval”) or (ii) the price of applicable sales of Common Stock to the Investor under this Agreement equals or exceeds the lower of (A) the official Closing Sale Price on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any nationally recognized successor thereto (the “NCM”) immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable Fixed Purchase notice, VWAP Purchase notice, or Additional VWAP Purchase notice to the Investor and (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the NCM for the five business days immediately preceding the delivery of such Fixed Purchase notice, VWAP Purchase notice or Additional VWAP Purchase Notice, as applicable (in each case plus an incremental amount to take into account the Commitment Shares), such that the sales of such Common Stock to the Investor would not count toward the 19.99% because they are “at market” under applicable NCM rules;

WHEREAS, in consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company has issued to the Investor the Commitment Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto are concurrently entering into a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company shall provide Investor with certain registration rights related to the shares issued under this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

PURCHASE TERMS

If the Company delivers any Fixed Purchase Notice directing the Investor to purchase a Fixed Purchase Share Amount in excess of the applicable Fixed Purchase Maximum Amount (calculated as of the applicable Fixed Purchase Date), such Fixed Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the Fixed Purchase Share Amount set forth in such Fixed Purchase Notice exceeds such applicable Fixed Purchase Maximum Amount, and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Shares in respect of such Fixed Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the applicable Fixed Purchase Maximum Amount in such Fixed Purchase. The Company may deliver a Fixed Purchase Notice, in the Form attached hereto as Annex 2.1, to the Investor as often as every Trading Day, so long as (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day is not less than $0.40 and (ii) all Shares subject to all prior Fixed Purchase Notices, VWAP Purchase Notices and Additional VWAP Purchase Notices (as applicable) have theretofore been received by the Investor as DWAC Shares. Since delivery of a Fixed Purchase Notice is made by the Company after market close on the applicable Fixed Purchase Date, the Fixed Purchase Price is determined and fixed at the time the Company delivers the Fixed Purchase to the Investor.

Section 2.2. VWAP Purchases. Upon the initial satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in set forth in Section 6.2, on the Commencement Date and from time to time thereafter, and on any business day selected by the Company where the Closing Sale Price on the applicable national market, or quotation service is equal to or greater than $0.51, subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3, in addition to purchases of Shares as described in Section 2.1, the Company shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its delivery to the Investor of a VWAP Purchase Notice, to purchase the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Amount, not to exceed the applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, at the applicable VWAP Purchase Price therefor on the applicable VWAP Purchase Date in accordance with this Agreement (each such purchase, a “VWAP Purchase”); provided, however, that the Investor’s aggregate committed obligation under a VWAP Purchase and all Additional VWAP Purchases shall not exceed $2,500,000 in the aggregate for such VWAP Purchase and all such Additional VWAP Purchases on such VWAP Purchase Date, collectively. The Company may deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice, in the Form attached hereto as Annex 2.2, to the Investor only (i) on a Trading Day on which the Company also properly submitted a Fixed Purchase Notice providing for a Fixed Purchase of an amount of Shares not less than the applicable Fixed Purchase Maximum Amount (calculated as of the applicable Fixed Purchase Date) and (ii) if all Shares subject to all prior Fixed Purchase Notices, VWAP Purchase Notices, and Additional VWAP Purchase Notices (as applicable) have theretofore been received by the Investor as DWAC Shares. The Investor is obligated to accept each VWAP Purchase Notice prepared and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Agreement. If the Company delivers any VWAP Purchase Notice directing the Investor to purchase a VWAP Purchase Share Amount in excess of the applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount that the Company is then permitted to include in such VWAP Purchase Notice, such VWAP Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the VWAP Purchase Share Amount set forth in such VWAP Purchase Notice exceeds such applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Shares in respect of such VWAP Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount in such VWAP Purchase At or prior to 9:30 a.m., New York , NY time, on the Trading Day immediately following the VWAP Purchase Date for each VWAP Purchase, the Investor shall provide to the Company a written confirmation of such VWAP Purchase setting forth the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Amount and VWAP Purchase Price for such VWAP Purchase (each, a “VWAP Purchase Confirmation”).

Section 2.3. Additional VWAP Purchases. Upon the initial satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in set forth in Section 6.3 on the Commencement Date and from time to time thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3, in addition to purchases of Shares as described in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, the Company shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its delivery to the Investor of an Additional VWAP Purchase Notice, to purchase the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Share Amount, not to exceed the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, at the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Price therefor on the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Date in accordance with this Agreement (each such purchase, an “Additional VWAP Purchase”); provided, however, that the Investor’s aggregate committed obligation under a VWAP Purchase and all Additional VWAP Purchases on the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Date, which Additional VWAP Purchase Date shall be the same Trading Day as the applicable VWAP Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase, shall not exceed $2,500,000 in the aggregate for such VWAP Purchase and all such Additional VWAP Purchases, collectively. The Company may deliver an Additional VWAP Purchase Notice, in the Form attached hereto as Annex 2.3, to the Investor only (i) on a Trading Day that is also the VWAP Purchase Date for a VWAP Purchase with respect to which the Company properly submitted to the Investor a VWAP Purchase Notice in accordance with this Agreement on the applicable Fixed Purchase Date for a Fixed Purchase of an amount of Shares not less than the applicable Fixed Purchase Maximum Amount (calculated as of the applicable Fixed Purchase Date) and (ii) if all Shares subject to all prior Fixed Purchase Notices, VWAP Purchase Notices, and Additional VWAP Purchase Notices, including, without limitation, all prior VWAP Purchases and Additional VWAP Purchases effected on the same Trading Day as the Additional VWAP Purchase Date on which the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase is to be effected, as applicable, have theretofore been received by the Investor as DWAC Shares. The Investor is obligated to accept each Additional VWAP Purchase Notice prepared and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Agreement. If the Company delivers any Additional VWAP Purchase Notice directing the Investor to purchase an Additional VWAP Purchase Share Amount in excess of the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount that the Company is then permitted to include in such Additional VWAP Purchase Notice, such Additional VWAP Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the Additional VWAP Purchase Share Amount set forth in such Additional VWAP Purchase Notice exceeds such applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Shares in respect of such Additional VWAP Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount in such Additional VWAP Purchase At or prior to 9:30 a.m., New York , NY time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Additional VWAP Purchase Date for each Additional VWAP Purchase, the Investor shall provide to the Company a written confirmation of such Additional VWAP Purchase setting forth the applicable Additional VWAP Purchase Share Amount and Additional VWAP Purchase Price for such Additional VWAP Purchase (each, an “Additional VWAP Purchase Confirmation”).

Section 2.4. Compliance with Rules of Trading Market.

(a) Share Issuance Restriction. The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Commitment Shares, would exceed a number of shares representing 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of the Trading Market (such maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company under this Agreement, the “Aggregate Limit”).

(b) General. The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if such issuance or sale would reasonably be expected to result in (A) a violation of the Securities Act or (B) a breach of the rules of the Trading Market. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.4 only if necessary to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and the applicable rules of the Trading Market.

Section 2.5. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not issue or sell, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than the next business day on which the Transfer Agent is open for business) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the most recent date for which the Transfer Agent has such information. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required under this Section 2.5 and the application of this Section 2.5. The Investor’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.5 to the extent necessary to properly give effect to the limitations contained in this Section 2.5.

Section 2.6. Commitment Shares. In consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the side letter dated December 31, 2024, the Company issued the Investor Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series G”) as Commitment Shares. The Common Stock underlying the Commitment Shares shall be included in the Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Commitment Shares shall be fully earned as of the Closing Date, regardless of whether any Fixed Purchases or VWAP Purchases are effected hereunder and regardless of any subsequent termination of this Agreement; provided, that in the event any conversion of the Series G to the Investor would result in the Investor exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then any such Commitment Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be held in abeyance for the Investor until such time, if ever, as its rights thereto would not result in the Investor exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

If the lowest trade price for the Common Stock on the Clearing Date is lower than that at the time any Shares pursuant to a Fixed Purchase, VWAP Purchase, or Additional VWAP Purchase are actually issued, then the price per share at which such Shares are issued shall be adjusted such that the price per share at which such Shares are issued shall be calculated from the closing trade price on the Clearing Date, and the Company shall issue additional Shares to Investor to reflect such adjusted price per Share. The adjustment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be calculated and applied on a cumulative basis with respect each Trading Day for which such calculation is made pursuant to the preceding sentence, as applicable.

In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder and in addition to all of the other respective obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title), each Person, if any, who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party”), from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses (including all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation) (collectively, “Damages”) that any Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (b) any action, suit, claim or proceeding (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) instituted against such Investor Party arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents, other than claims for indemnification within the scope of Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that (x) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Damages to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from any acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Investor Party through its fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, or willful or reckless misconduct.

The Company shall reimburse any Investor Party promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Party in connection with (i) any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, to enforce compliance by the Company with any provision of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (ii) any other any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.1; provided that the Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company for all such legal and other costs and expenses to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled to such reimbursement.

An Investor Party’s right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall not in any way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of such Investor Party. Such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that an Investor Party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Company failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such Investor Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.

To the extent that the foregoing joint and several undertakings by the Company set forth in this Section 8.1 may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Damages which is permissible under Applicable Law.

Section 8.2. Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after an Investor Party receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Investor Party intends to seek indemnification under Section 8.1, the Investor Party will notify the Company in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from liability under Section 8.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The Company will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the Company acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the Investor Party against whom the claim or action is brought, the Company may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After the Company notifies the Investor Party that the Company wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Company will not be liable for any further legal or other expenses incurred by the Investor Party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of litigation counsel to the Company, it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and such Investor Party. In such event, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel for all such Investor Parties promptly as such fees and expenses are incurred. Each Investor Party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Investor Party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an Investor Party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Investor Party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.

The remedies provided for in this Article VIII are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Investor Party at law or in equity.

Each of the Company and the Investor consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding in accordance with Section 9.4. Nothing in this Section 9.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(iii) EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO.

The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 9.16. Further Assurances.
