Ltd., a Singapore private limited company (formerly known as GMS Tenshi Holdings Pte. Limited, the “Shareholder”), and GMS Ventures and Investments (“GMS”, and, collectively with the Company, and the Shareholder, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Investor Rights Agreement.

WHEREAS, in connection therewith, the Company and the Shareholder desire to further amend the Investor Rights Agreement as provided herein, including to add GMS as a Party to the Investor Rights Agreement for purposes of the right to designate a director pursuant to Article 5 of the Investor Rights Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendment to Section 1.1(c). Section 1.1(c) of the Investor Rights Agreement is amended and restated as follows:

“Following any Affiliate Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Shareholder shall continue to exercise the rights granted to the Shareholder hereunder on behalf of the Affiliate Shareholder.”

2. Amendment to Article II (Registration Rights) of the Investor Rights Agreement. Throughout Article II of the Investor Rights Agreement, any reference to “Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder”, the Shareholder being named as a selling shareholder or any similar terms in connection with the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities shall be deemed to be references to the Shareholder and the Affiliate Shareholders, as applicable.

3. Amendment to Right of First Offer. Section 3.1 of the Investor Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“General. From the date hereof until December 31, 2022, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to the Shareholder in accordance with this Article III.”

4. Amendment to Preemptive Rights. Section 4.1 of the Investor Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“General. From the date hereof until December 31, 2022, the Company shall not issue any New Securities to any Person, except (a) after complying with the provisions of Article III, and (b) in compliance with the provisions of this Article IV.”

5. Amendment to Right of Shareholder to Nominate Directors. Section 5.2 of the Investor Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Right of Shareholder to Nominate Directors. So long as the Shareholder and any Affiliate Shareholders Beneficially Own, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted as-converted basis, the Shareholder (and, in the event the Shareholder is entitled to nominate more than one director, GMS in accordance with the following sentence) shall have the right, subject to compliance with the applicable rules of Nasdaq, to nominate to the Company Board a number of Directors (each, a “Shareholder Nominee” and, after being elected to the Company Board, a “Shareholder Director”) equal to the total number of Directors constituting the Company Board multiplied by the percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock that are Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder and any Affiliate Shareholders (on a fully diluted as-converted basis), rounding up in the case of any resulting fractional number of Directors, less the number of Shareholder Nominees who are members of the Company Board and not subject to election at such Election Meeting; provided that any such resulting fractional number of Directors shall be rounded down in the event that rounding up would result in the number of Shareholder Nominees constituting a majority of the Directors while the Shareholder holds less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted as-converted basis); provided, further, that, if the total number of Directors constituting the Company Board is seven (7), while the Shareholder and any Affiliate Shareholders Beneficially Own, in the aggregate, greater than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted as-converted basis) and less than or equal to fifty-seven percent (57%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted as-converted basis), the Shareholder shall have the right to nominate four (4) Directors to the Company Board. In the event the Shareholder is entitled to nominate more than one (1) Shareholder Nominee pursuant to the previous sentence, GMS shall be entitled to nominate one (1) of the Shareholder Nominees, with the remainder of the Shareholder Nominees to be designated by the Shareholder, it being understood that in the event the Shareholder is only entitled to designate one (1) Shareholder Nominee, such nominee shall be designated by the Shareholder. The Company, GMS and the Shareholder agree that Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx shall be the initial GMS designee. If the number of Shareholder Directors is less than or equal to three (3), each Shareholder Director shall serve in a different class of Directors. If the number of Shareholder Directors is greater than three (3), to the extent mathematically possible, an equal number of Shareholder Directors shall serve in each class of Directors. The Shareholder shall have the right to nominate the Shareholder Nominees from its Affiliates. Any resignation of a Shareholder Director required to give effect to this Section 5.2 as a result of a reduction in the amount of outstanding shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder and any Affiliate Shareholder (on a fully diluted as-converted basis) will comply with the applicable rules of Nasdaq; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such resignation need not be effective until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company.”

6. Amendment to Qualification and Replacement of Shareholder Directors. Section 5.5 of the Investor Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Qualification and Replacements of Shareholder Directors.

(a) Each Shareholder Director shall at all times until cessation of service on the Company Board meet any (i) applicable requirements or qualifications under applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules and (ii) the Company’s standard qualifications for Directors. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in the Charter or the Bylaws, (A) if a Shareholder Director is unable or unwilling to serve as a Director for any reason, (B) if a Shareholder Director is removed (upon death, resignation or otherwise), or (C) in the event that a Shareholder Director or a Shareholder Nominee, as the case may be, fails to be reelected or elected, as the case may be, at an Election Meeting solely as a result of failing to receive the required vote of the holders of voting Capital Stock as required by the Charter and the Bylaws, in each case of clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Shareholder (or GMS in the case of a Shareholder Director or Shareholder Nominee designated by GMS) shall have the exclusive right to submit the name of a replacement candidate for such Shareholder Director or Shareholder Nominee, as the case may be (a “Replacement”), to the Governance Committee of the Company for its approval. If so approved, such Replacement shall serve as the Shareholder Nominee for election in the same class of Directors on the Company Board as the Shareholder Director or Shareholder Nominee for which such Person serves as a Replacement. For each proposed Replacement that is not approved by the Company, the Shareholder (or GMS in the case of a Shareholder Director or Shareholder Nominee designated by GMS) shall have the right to submit another proposed Replacement to the Governance Committee for its approval on the same basis as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not fill the vacancy on the Company Board during any period in which the appointment of a Shareholder Director is pending without the prior written consent of the Shareholder (or GMS in the case of a Shareholder Director or Shareholder Nominee designated by GMS). The Shareholder (or GMS in the case of a Shareholder Director or Shareholder Nominee designated by GMS) shall have the right to continue submitting the name of a proposed Replacement to the Governance Committee for its approval until the Governance Committee approves that a Replacement may serve as a nominee for election or appointment as a Director or to serve as a Director, whereupon such Person shall be appointed as the Replacement. To the extent a Replacement is nominated pursuant to this Section 5.5(a), the Company’s obligations under Section 5.3 shall be fulfilled with respect to such Replacement.

(b) If any Shareholder Director is serving on the Company Board on the Expiration Date, the Shareholder (or GMS in the case of a Shareholder Director or Shareholder Nominee designated by GMS) shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to cause such Shareholder Director to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Company Board, which resignation the Governance Committee shall determine to accept or reject in its sole discretion.”
