Board Representation. The Investors Rights Agreement provides that SKGC is entitled to designate one person (the “SK Designee”) to be appointed to the Issuer’s Board. The SK Designee was appointed to the Board effective as of July 29, 2021. SKGC will have the right to require the Board to nominate a SK Designee for election to the Board until the earlier to occur of (i) the date that SKGC and its affiliates beneficially own less than 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock or (ii) the date that SKGC and its affiliates beneficially own a number of shares of the Common Stock equivalent to less than 5.0% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

During the Standstill Period, SKGC and its affiliates will not, among other things and subject to specified exceptions: (a) acquire any securities of the Issuer (except for purchases of Common Stock in the public market to the extent necessary to reverse any decrease in such parties’ percentage ownership of the issued and outstanding Common Stock resulting solely from a net increase in the number of shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock); (b) propose any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender offer or similar transaction involving the Issuer; (c) solicit proxies or consents to vote any securities of the Issuer; (d) form, join or participate in any group (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission); or (e) seek to call a meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer or propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Issuer.

Transfer Restrictions. The Investors Rights Agreement also provides that, for a period ending on the second anniversary of the closing of the Transaction (the “Lock-Up Period”), SKGC will be prohibited from transferring any Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions. SKGC will also be generally prohibited from transferring Common Stock to any competitor of the Issuer (as determined by the Board).

Resale Registration Rights. The Investors Rights Agreement includes customary resale shelf registration rights for SKGC that require the Issuer to register the Common Stock held by SKGC for resale following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

Voting Arrangements. Under the Investors Rights Agreement, Mr. Solomita agrees, with respect to any matter that needs to be approved by shareholders of the Issuer to give effect to SKGC’s rights under the Investors Rights Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Warrants (the “Required Approvals”), that he shall vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver a proxy (or cause a proxy to be delivered) covering all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer and the Common Stock for which Mr. Solomita is the registered and/or direct or indirect beneficial owner of, or exercises control or direction over: (i) in favor of the Required Approvals and (ii) against any proposal that conflicts with or would interfere with the exercise of the SKGC’s rights under the Investors Rights Agreement.

2.7 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, owners, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under any securities Laws including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other statute or common law of the United States or any other country or political subdivision thereof, or otherwise, including the amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened (including any amounts paid pursuant to or in settlement of claims made under the indemnification or contribution provisions of any underwriting or similar agreement entered into by the Investor in connection with any offering or sale of securities covered by this Agreement), and shall promptly reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any free writing prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or in any offering memorandum or other offering document relating to the offering and sale of such securities, (ii) 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 or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company (or any of its agents or Affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities Law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under any state securities Law, in each case arising from such Registration Statement; provided, however, the Company shall not be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it (A) arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Investor; or (B) is caused by the Investor’s disposition of Registrable Securities after notice from the Company pursuant to Section 2.4(g) during any period during which the Investor is obligated to discontinue any disposition of Registrable Securities as a result of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or prospectus with respect to Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7(a), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

-13-

(b) The Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, owners, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, any underwriter, any other Investor selling securities in such Registration Statement and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Investor, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) which arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation: (i) arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Investor; or (ii) is caused by the Investor’s disposition of Registrable Securities after notice from the Company pursuant to Section 2.4(g) during any period during which the Investor is obligated to discontinue any disposition of Registrable Securities as a result of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or prospectus with respect to Registrable Securities. The Investor shall pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any action by a Governmental Authority), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial in a material respect to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.7.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability in any case in which a claim for indemnification is made pursuant to this Section 2.7 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.7 provided for indemnification in such case, the Company and the Investor shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in proportion to the relative

-14-

fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand; provided, however, that in any such case, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; provided further, however, that in no event shall any contribution under this Section 2.7(d) on the part of any Investor exceed the net proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by the Investor.

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Section 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement and otherwise.

2.8 SEC Reports. With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell Registrable Securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to at any time that it is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act:

Until the date that concludes any 90 day continuous period during which no Investor Designee serves on the Board (“Offering Lock-Up Term”), provided that, if the Investor subsequently designates a new Investor Designee that serves on the Board following such 90-day period, the Offering Lock-Up Term shall be reinstated commencing as of such date that such new Investor Designee serves on the Board, the Investor shall, if requested by the Company and an underwriter of an offering of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, agree not to Dispose of any Common Stock and/or Common Stock

-19-

Equivalents for a specified period of time, such period of time not to exceed forty-five (45) days; provided that the foregoing restriction shall apply only (a) if and to the extent that all directors and executive officers of the Company and any stockholder of the Company with a board seat are subject to the same restriction for that underwritten offering by the Company and (b) if the Company has notified the Investor of any such proposed offering as soon as reasonably practicable. Such agreement shall be in writing in a form satisfactory to the Company and the underwriter(s) in such offering. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of the specified period of time.

5. Voting Agreement.

5.1 Voting of Shares held by Founder. The Founder agrees that, prior to the date hereof, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of the Company, with respect to any matter that needs to be approved by shareholders of the Company to give effect to the Investor’s rights under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Warrants (the “Required Approvals”), the Founder shall:

(a) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company and the Common Stock for which the Founder is the registered and/or direct or indirect beneficial owner of, or exercises control or direction over (the “Founder Shares”) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(b) vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver a proxy (or cause a proxy to be delivered) covering all of the Founder Shares that the Founder shall be entitled to so vote, provided that, in the case of the Founder Shares that are shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, the Founder may, where applicable, deliver an action by written consent with respect to such Founder Shares in lieu of voting such Founder Shares at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company, (i) in favor of the Required Approvals, and (ii) against any proposal that conflicts with or would interfere with the exercise of the Investor’s rights under this Agreement.

5.2 Founder Covenant. Prior to the termination of this Agreement, Founder agrees not to enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral, binding or non-binding) with any Person to vote, act by written consent, or give instructions in any manner inconsistent with Section 5.1. Any such vote shall be cast, or consent shall be given, in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote or consent.

6. Board Composition.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 6, effective as of the Closing Date, the Board will appoint a designee of the Investor (the “Investor Designee”), reasonably acceptable to the Board, as a director of the Company for a term expiring at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders or upon such Investor Designee’s earlier death, disability, resignation or removal (including removal by operation of Law). The Company and the Investor

-20-

agree that Jonghyuk Lee shall be the initial Investor Designee. The Company agrees that, during the Director Period, the Board shall nominate the individual serving as such Investor Designee (or any individual subsequently designated by the Investor to serve as the Investor Designee) for election or re-election, as the case may be, as a director at each subsequent meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors are to be elected, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Investor Designee to be elected or re-elected, including providing the same level of support as is provided for other nominees. Upon the end of the Director Period, the Investor shall cause the Investor Designee to tender to the Board, as soon as practicable and in any event within five (5) days following the end of the Director Period, his or her resignation from the Board. During the Director Period, the Company will not decrease the size of the Board if such decrease would require the resignation of the Investor Designee.

(b) As a condition to any appointment or nomination for election to the Board, each Investor Designee shall (i) meet the qualifications required of all directors of the Company by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and those mandated by applicable Law, (ii) agree, in writing, to be bound by the terms and conditions of all of the Company’s policies applicable to its directors, (iii) make such acknowledgements and enter into such agreements as the Company requires of all directors, including, without limitation, with respect to confidentiality, the Company’s code of ethics, insider trading policy and Section 16 reporting procedures, and (iv) be able to dedicate sufficient time and resources for the diligent performance of the duties required of a member of the Board (the “Director Conditions”). Without limiting the foregoing, each proposed Investor Designee shall be subject to satisfaction of the criteria for Board membership established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, including the director qualification criteria thereof, as determined in the reasonable and good faith discretion of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board and the Board in the same manner as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board and the Board would consider any candidate for Board membership. The Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board will evaluate the Investor Designee for potential roles on the committees of the Board, consistent with evaluations of other directors for such positions and subject to applicable Law and the listing rules and requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market.

(c) If an Investor Designee resigns from the Board, is removed, or refuses or is unable to serve or fulfill his or her duties as a director because of death or disability, in each case prior to the expiration of the Director Period, the Investor shall have the right to select a replacement Investor Designee, reasonably acceptable to the Board and subject to compliance with the Director Conditions, and shall provide the Company with the name of and relevant background information for such replacement Investor Designee. Subject to the terms of this Section 6, within twenty (20) days following receipt of such information and compliance with the Director Conditions, the Board will appoint such replacement Investor Designee to the Board to replace the departing Investor Designee to serve the remaining term of the departing Investor Designee, and the replacement Investor Designee shall be considered an Investor Designee for all purposes of this Section 6.

(d) All confidential or proprietary information and data relating to the Company and its Affiliates provided by the Company to the Investor Designee shall be deemed confidential information and will be kept confidential and not disclosed to any Person outside of the Company. Notwithstanding the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 6(b)(iii) and the foregoing, and subject to Section 8.16, the Investor Designee shall be permitted to disclose such

-21-

confidential information to the executive officers and members of the board of directors (or equivalent governance body) of the Investor, its shareholders and its advisers (such as legal counsel) having a duty of confidentiality to the Investor, provided (i) such disclosure is made on a need-to-know basis solely for the purposes of, and to the extent necessary to, monitor and make decisions regarding the Investor’s investment in the Company, and (ii) that the Investor will be liable for any breach by any of such Persons of the confidentiality obligations applicable to the Investor Designee. Upon the resignation or removal of the Investor Designee from the Board and written request (including via email) from the Company, such Investor Designee shall either promptly (x) destroy all confidential information of the Company that he or she received in his or her capacity as a director in his or her possession or control and any copies thereof or (y) return to the Company all confidential information of the Company that he or she received in his or her capacity as a director in his or her possession or control and any copies thereof (but the Investor Designee need not purge electronic archives and backups), and, in either case, confirm in writing (which may be via email) to the Company that all such material has been destroyed or returned, as applicable, in compliance with this Section 6.

(e) If any Investor Designee is an employee of, or otherwise compensated by, the Investor or any of its Affiliates, such Investor Designee shall not be entitled to any compensation from the Company in connection with his or her role as a director or service on the Board or any committee. The Investor Designee will be entitled to reimbursement from the Company of out of pocket expenses in connection with his or her role as a director consistent with other directors on the Board.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Board (or any committee thereof) shall consider (i) a proposed contract, transaction or other arrangement between the Investor or any Investor Affiliate Assignee Parent (or any of their respective Affiliates), on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) the enforcement or waiver of the rights of the Company or any of its Affiliates under any agreement between the Investor or any Investor Affiliate Assignee Parent (or any of their respective Affiliates), on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, or (iii) a matter which the Board determines in good faith presents an actual or potential conflict of interest for the Investor Designee, then the Investor Designee will, if directed by the chairperson of the Board or the remaining directors, be excluded from participation in such Board or committee meeting (or portion thereof, as applicable) at which such matters are to be discussed, and the Investor Designee will not be entitled to receive copies of the materials or other documents relating to such matter or meeting (or portion thereof, as applicable).

7. Subscription Right.

7.1 General. The Company hereby grants to the Investor a subscription right (the “Subscription Right”) to purchase, following consummation of the issuance of any New Securities by the Company after the Closing Date (a “New Securities Issuance”), such amount of the same type of New Securities as those issued in such New Securities Issuance as required to maintain its fully-diluted ownership as at immediately prior to such New Securities Issuance, on the same terms and conditions that are applicable to such New Securities in such New Securities Issuance and at a price per share or security equal to the price paid by the purchaser(s) in such New Securities Issuance (“Additional Subscription Shares”), provided that if the Company issues shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents after the Closing Date

-22-

in a New Securities Issuance pursuant to the acquisition of another Person by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement and the Investor Designee does not approve such acquisition (such issuance, a “Qualified Acquisition Issuance”), then the Investor shall have the right to subscribe for Additional Subscription Shares only by payment of cash consideration at the Volume-Weighted Average Closing Price of the 30 consecutive Trading Day period before the date of the announcement of such transaction and on other terms to be mutually agreed between the Company and the Investor; provided, further, that the Investor shall have such Subscription Right only if the Investor beneficially owns at least five percent (5.0%) of the shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. For purposes of this Section 7, “fully-diluted ownership” shall mean the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, assuming the conversion of all Common Stock Equivalents.

7.2 Procedures. In the event that the Company consummates a New Securities Issuance, it shall provide the Investor with written notice of such New Securities Issuance within 5 Business Days after the consummation thereof (a “Subscription Notice”), describing the amount and type of New Securities, the identity of the purchaser(s) and the price and the other material terms upon which the Company issued such New Securities. The Investor shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the date of receipt of the Subscription Notice to agree in writing to purchase up to the Additional Subscription Shares by executing the definitive purchase documentation on the same price, terms and conditions as those applicable to such New Securities Issuance (in the case of a New Securities Issuance that is not a Qualified Acquisition Issuance), or by payment of cash consideration at the Volume-Weighted Average Closing Price of the 30 consecutive Trading Day period before the date of the announcement of the applicable transaction and on other terms to be mutually agreed between the Company and the Investor (in the case of a Qualified Acquisition Issuance), provided that under no circumstances shall this Section 7 entitle the Investor to designate another member of the Board or, for the avoidance of doubt, to enter into any new business relationship with the Company or to have any rights against the Company other than as an investor in the Company, provided, further, that, without limitation to the Investor’s rights under Section 2, under no circumstances shall the Company be required to register Additional Subscription Shares under the Securities Act or qualify the Additional Subscription Shares under the securities Laws of any other jurisdiction in connection with the issuance thereof. If the Investor fails to so respond in writing within such twenty (20) Business Day period to purchase its Additional Subscription Shares, then the Investor shall forfeit its Subscription Right hereunder with respect to such New Securities Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any consummation by the Investor of the Subscription Right shall be subject to the satisfaction of all necessary Company shareholder approval requirements and the obtainment of all necessary consents, approvals and waivers under applicable Law.

8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. The law, including the statutes of limitation, of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement, the interpretation and enforcement of its terms and any claim or cause of action (in law or equity), controversy or dispute arising out of or related to it or its negotiation, execution or performance, whether based on contract, tort, statutory or other law, in each case without giving effect to any conflicts-of-law or other principle requiring the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

-23-

8.2 Dispute Resolution. The parties agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Dispute”) shall be arbitrated pursuant to the provisions of the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Arbitration Rules”), by three arbitrators (the “Tribunal”) appointed in accordance with the ICC Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration”).

The Award shall be deemed an award of the United States, the relationship between the parties shall be deemed commercial in nature, and any Dispute arbitrated pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be deemed commercial. The Tribunal shall have the authority to grant any equitable or legal remedies, including entering preliminary or permanent injunctive relief; provided, however, that the Tribunal shall not have the authority to award (and the parties waive the right to seek an award of) punitive or exemplary damages.

8.3 Waiver. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Any agreement on the part of any party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party.

8.4 Notices.

-26-

8.14 Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which such parties may have under any other agreement or Law.

8.15 Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the rights of the parties hereunder are special, unique and of extraordinary character, and that if any party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause, direct or request its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such refusal or failure would result in irreparable injury to the Company, the Investor or the Founder as the case may be, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain or estimate and the remedies at law for which would not be reasonable or adequate compensation. Accordingly, if any party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to any damaged party at law or in equity, such damaged party will be entitled to obtain specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual or threatened damages, which remedy such damaged party will be entitled to seek in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby further waives any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

8.16 Confidentiality.

-27-

(C) within seven (7) days of providing any Confidential Information to any such prospective purchaser, the Investor provides notice to the Company identifying such prospective purchaser, (iii) to any Investor Affiliates and their respective Representatives, in each case in the ordinary course of business (provided that the recipients of such Confidential Information are subject to a confidentiality and non-disclosure obligation no less restrictive than the confidentiality obligations set forth herein), or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law or legal, judicial or regulatory process, provided that (x) the Investor provides prompt prior written notice to the Company notifying the Company of the manner, scope and justification for such disclosure, (y) the Investor takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any required disclosure described in this clause (iv) and (z) such disclosure requirement does not arise from a breach of Section 3 of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the acts and omissions of any Person to whom the Investor may disclose the Confidential Information (and such Person’s Representatives who receive any such Confidential Information) pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding proviso shall be attributable to the Investor for purposes of determining the Investor’s compliance with this Section 8.16, except those who have entered into a separate confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement, or are subject to a separate confidentiality or non-disclosure obligation, with the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or set forth in the Purchase Agreement, under no circumstances shall the Investor or an Investor Affiliate Assignee Parent that has executed and delivered to the Company an Investor Affiliate Assignee Joinder disclose any Confidential Information (as defined herein and as defined under the Purchase Agreement) to any Person that owns any shares of Investor that is not an Investor Affiliate Assignee Parent and has not executed and delivered to the Company an Investor Affiliate Assignee Joinder (each an “Investor Affiliate Holder”), except for such disclosures either (1) made with the prior written consent of the Company or (2) made to such Investor Affiliate Holders that have entered into a separate confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement with the Company. Any Investor Permitted Assignment shall be deemed to exclude the right of an Investor Affiliate Holder to accessing such Confidential Information.

8.17 Termination. Any of Investor’s or Investor Affiliate Assignee Parent’s obligations set forth in this Agreement shall terminate once such Person no longer holds, directly or indirectly, any equity interest or voting power in the Company.
