authorization of the Purchaser or any other Person is required. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Purchaser is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser, where applicable, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Purchaser; provided that, with respect to each such agreement, the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws from time to time
in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

Section 4.03    No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents to which the Purchaser is a party by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Purchaser is subject, (b) conflict with or result in any

experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, including the

receive answers from the Company directly and review the Company’s public filings with the Commission and (ii) conducted and completed its own independent due diligence with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Based on such

 21 

 
appropriate and without reliance upon the Agent or any of its Affiliates, the Purchaser has independently made its own judgment concerning the Company and its businesses, operations and prospects
and analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the
Purchaser is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Purchased Securities and the

warranties contained herein or in any other Transaction Document or (ii) to indemnification or any other remedy based on, or with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements in any Transaction Document. The Purchaser understands that its purchase of the Purchased Securities involves a high degree of risk.

Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, the “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction or the laws of any other jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered
pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act (or if eligible, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act) and in
compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Transaction Documents. The Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Company, in issuing the Purchased Securities, is relying upon, among other things, the representations and
warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Article IV in concluding that such issuance is a “private offering” and is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

the Purchased Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations,

(ii)    Transfers of Purchased Securities or Underlying Shares pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer
for at least a majority of the equity securities of the Company made by a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser to all shareholders of the Company, with the prior consent of the Board; and 

(iii)    Transfers permitted under the Certificate of Designation in connection with the redemption by the
Company of the Series D Preferred Stock. 
 (c)    Following the end of the Restricted Period, Transfers may only be
made by the Purchaser to any Person that is not a Competitor in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.06(d). 

(d)    For a Transfer to comply with this Section 5.06(d), (i) the transferor in any such
Transfer shall provide prior written notice to the Company of the identity of the transferee, together with a certification by the transferor that to its knowledge the transferee is not a Competitor and (ii) the transferee shall
(A) provide to the Company prior to such Transfer a certification by the transferee that it is not a Competitor and (B) agree in writing prior to such Transfer for the express benefit of the Company (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company) to be bound by the restrictions on Transfers set forth in Section 5.06(c) to the same extent as if it were the Purchaser. 

(e)    Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 5.06 shall be null and void ab
initio and the Company shall not be required to recognize such Transfer. 

Section 5.07    Removal of Legend. In connection with a sale of Purchased
Securities or Underlying Shares by the Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the applicable Purchaser or its broker shall deliver to the Company a broker representation letter reasonably acceptable to the Company
and its transfer agent, providing to the Company the information required under Rule 144 to determine that the sale of such Purchased Securities is made in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including, as may be
appropriate, a certification that the Purchaser is not an affiliate of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) and a certification as to the length of time that such securities have been held. Upon receipt of such
representation letter, the Company shall promptly remove the notation of a restrictive legend in the Purchaser’s book-entry account maintained by the Company, including the legend referred to in Section 4.05(c), and
the Company shall bear all costs associated with the removal of such legend in the 

  
 26 

 
Company’s books. At such time as the Purchased Securities or Underlying Shares (as applicable) have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or have
been held by the Purchaser for more than one year where the Purchaser is not, and has not been in the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) or acting in concert with such a
Person, if the book-entry account of the Purchaser still bears the notation of the restrictive legend referred to in Section 4.05(c), the Company agrees, upon request of the Purchaser or its permitted assignee, to take all
steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of the legend described in Section 4.05(c), and the Company shall bear all costs associated with the removal of such legend in the Company’s books, regardless of whether
the request is made in connection with a sale or otherwise, so long as the Purchaser or its permitted assignee provides to the Company the information required under Rule 144 (or other applicable exemptions) to determine that the legend is no longer
required under the Securities Act or applicable state Laws, including (if there is no such registration statement) a certification that the holder is not an affiliate of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), a
covenant to inform the Company if it should thereafter become an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) and to consent to the notation of an appropriate restriction, and a certification as to the length of time such
securities have been held. The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend referred to in Section 4.05(c) at any time such legend is no longer appropriate. 

Section 5.08    Tax Matters. The Company may deduct and withhold any withholding
Taxes or other amounts required to be withheld with respect to the Purchased Securities and may set off any such amounts required to be withheld against payments (whether made in cash or other property) on the Purchased Securities. The Company and
the Purchaser agree that it is their intention that (i) the Purchased Preferred Stock shall be treated as stock that is not “preferred stock” within the meaning of subsections (b)(4) and (c) of Section 305 of the Code and
Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-5(a), and (ii) the Purchaser shall not be required to include in income as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes any income or gain in respect of the
Purchased Preferred Stock on account of the accrual or payment of dividends thereon (including any deemed dividends as a result of any discount or otherwise) unless and until such dividends are declared and paid in cash. The Company agrees to take
no position or action inconsistent with such treatment, including on any Internal Revenue Service Form 1099, unless otherwise required by (A) a change in applicable law after the date hereof or (B) a final determination within the meaning
of Section 1313 of the Code. 
 Section 5.09    Listing; SEC Compliance.

 (a)    The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of all of the Underlying Shares upon
each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed,
such listing of the Underlying Shares. 
 (b)    Beginning on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing, the Purchaser
or its Permitted Transferees (the “Applicable Holders”), to the extent any such Applicable Holders still beneficially own any Purchased Warrants or Underlying Shares (the “Registrable Securities”), shall have the
right, by delivering written notice to the Company, to require the Company to register, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly register for resale, under an effective registration state under the Securities Act,
the number of Registrable Securities stated in such request, (ii) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and (iii) if the Applicable Holders so elect, to cause the offering of such Registrable Securities to be in the
form of a firm commitment underwritten offering.

 ARTICLE VI 

INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES 

Section 6.01    Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify
the Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) from costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions,
suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of
any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or
asserted against or involve any of them), whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim, as a result of or arising out of (a) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by the Company contained herein to be true and correct in
all material respects (other than the Fundamental Representations or other representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which, in each case, shall be true and correct in all respects) when made and as
of the Closing Date (except for any representations and warranties made as of a specific date, which shall be required to be true and correct as of such date only) or (b) the breach in any material respect of any covenants of the Company
contained herein; provided that, in the case of the immediately preceding clause (a), such claim for indemnification is made prior to the expiration of the survival period of such representation or warranty; provided, further,
that for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a Purchaser Related Party shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to the Company shall
constitute the date upon which such claim has been made; and provided, further, that the aggregate liability of the Company to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not be greater in amount than
the Purchase Price. No Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, lost profits, speculative or punitive damages under this Section 6.01; provided,
however, that such limitation shall not prevent any Purchaser Related Party from recovering under this Section 6.01 for any such damages to the extent that such damages are in the form of diminution in value or are
payable to a third party in connection with any Third-Party Claims. 

Section 6.02    Indemnification Procedures. 

(a)    A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party
from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VI, except as
otherwise provided in Section 6.01. 
 (b)    Promptly after any Purchaser Related Party
(hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an
indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third-Party Claim, but failure to so
notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall
state the nature and the basis of such Third-Party Claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified
Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the
Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially 

  
 28 

 
reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and
other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has
notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional
legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense
of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (B) if the
defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or
in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a
separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying
Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation
on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party. 

Section 6.03    Tax Matters. All indemnification payments under this Article
VI shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes except as otherwise required by applicable Law. 
 ARTICLE
VII 
 TERMINATION 

Section 7.01    Termination. This Agreement shall be terminated: 

(a)    at any time, by mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchaser; 

(b)    prior to the Closing, by written notice from either the Company or the Purchaser if any Governmental Authority with
lawful jurisdiction shall have issued a final order, decree or ruling or taken any other final action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and such order, decree, ruling or other
action is or shall have become final and non-appealable; 
 (c)    if Closing
does not occur by 11:59 p.m. New York time on March 31, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), by written notice from either the Company or the Purchaser; provided, however, that no party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 7.01(c) if such party is, at the time of providing such written notice, in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement; and 

(d)    at such time as no Purchased Securities remain outstanding, automatically without any further action by the Company
or the Purchaser. 
 Section 7.02    Certain Effects of Termination. In the
event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, this Agreement (other than Article VI and Section 8.01) shall become null and void and have no further force or effect and
there shall be no liability on the part of the Company or the 

  
 29 

 
Purchaser or any of its respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement, except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for damages to another party resulting
for a willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to the date of termination or from fraud; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, neither the Company nor the
Purchaser shall have any such liability in excess of the Purchase Price. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.01    Expenses. All costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements
of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses; provided, that the Company shall
reimburse the Purchaser for all third party expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the diligence and negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the purchase by the Purchaser of the Purchased
Securities, provided that such fees shall not exceed $300,000 in the aggregate (which reimbursement may be made as a deduction from the payment of the Purchase Price in the flow of funds at the Closing). 

Section 8.02    Interpretation. Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit references
in this Agreement are references to the corresponding Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. All Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof as if set forth in
full herein and are an integral part of this Agreement. All references to instruments, documents, Contracts and agreements are references to such instruments, documents, Contracts and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented and otherwise
modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified. The word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to” and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or
matters immediately following it. Any reference in this Agreement to “$” shall mean U.S. dollars. Whenever any determination, consent or approval is to be made or given by any party to this Agreement, such action shall be in such
party’s sole discretion, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. If any provision in the Transaction Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable, (a) such provision shall be fully severable and the
Transaction Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of the Transaction Documents, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect,
and (b) the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Transaction Documents so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the date that is
the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. If the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. Any words imparting the singular number only shall include
the plural and vice versa. The words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context
otherwise requires. The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into Articles, Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in
construing or interpreting this Agreement. 
 Section 8.03    Survival of
Provisions. The Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.01, Section 4.02, Section 4.04,
Section 4.05(a), Section 4.05(b), Section 4.05(d) and Section 4.07(b) hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
indefinitely, and the other representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive for 

  
 30 

 
a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Purchaser or the Agent and its Affiliates. The covenants
made in this Agreement (including those in Article V) or any other Transaction Document that by their terms are to be performed following the Closing shall survive the Closing and remain operative and in full force and effect until fully
performed. Regardless of any purported general termination of this Agreement, the provisions of Article VI and all indemnification rights and obligations of the Company and the Purchaser thereunder, Section 8.01 and
this Article VIII shall remain operative and in full force and effect as between the Company and the Purchaser, unless the Company and the Purchaser execute a writing that expressly terminates such rights and obligations as between the
Company and the Purchaser. 
 Section 8.04    No Waiver: Modifications in
Writing. 
 (a)    Delay. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided
for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise. 

(b)    Specific Waiver; Amendment. Except as otherwise provided herein or as specifically provided otherwise in any
other Transaction Document with respect thereto, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination of any provision of any Transaction Document shall be effective unless signed by each of the Company and the Purchaser. Any amendment,
supplement or modification of or to any provision of any Transaction Document, any waiver of any provision of any Transaction Document and any consent to any departure by the Company or the Purchaser from the terms of any provision of any
Transaction Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Company or the Purchaser in any
case shall entitle the Company or the Purchaser to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any investigation by or on behalf of any party shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of
compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. 

Section 8.05    Binding Effect; Assignment. 

(a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, the Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 

(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in
part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that a Purchaser may transfer or assign its rights hereunder in
connection with the transfer of the Purchased Preferred Stock or the Warrants, each in accordance with the terms thereof, and subject to Purchaser providing written notice of any such assignment to the Company promptly after such assignment is
effected and that the transferee agrees to assume all of the Purchaser’s rights and obligations in connection with such transfer and be bound by, and entitled to the benefits of, this Agreement as an original party hereto. 

Section 8.06    Publicity. Except as set forth below, no public release or
announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Company or the Purchaser without the prior consent of the Company (in the case of a release or announcement by the Purchaser) or the

  
 31 

 
Purchaser (in the case of a release or announcement by the Company) (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the
applicable rules or regulations of any securities exchange or securities market, in which case the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall allow the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, to the extent reasonably practicable in the
circumstances, reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. The parties acknowledge that (i) as of 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on the trading day immediately following the date hereof, no Purchaser shall
be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) prior to such time the Company
shall issue a press release or file a report on Form 8-K disclosing any material information required to comply with the preceding clause (i), and that, in addition, the Company will make such other filings
and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission or Nasdaq with respect to such matters. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not to,
provide the Purchaser with any such material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of the Company Entities from and after the filing of the press release without the express written consent of the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt,
following the issuance of such press release, this Agreement shall not prohibit the Purchaser from trading Common Stock as it sees fit.

 Exhibit 10.2 

BOARD OBSERVER AGREEMENT 

This BOARD OBSERVER AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 22, 2021, by and among NN,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and NHTV Nevada Holdings LP LP (“NHTV”). 
 WHEREAS,
in connection with the financing pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 22, 2021, by and among the Company and NHTV (the “Purchase Agreement”), NHTV shall have the right to designate a non-voting board observer (an “Observer”) to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and any and all committees thereof (each a “Committee”, and
collectively, the “Committees”); 
 WHEREAS, the Observer shall receive and be provided access to certain
confidential and proprietary information, data and know-how relating to the business and prospective business of the Company and to existing or potential products, processes and services of the Company; and

 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to maintain in confidence such information and NHTV recognizes the necessity of maintaining the
strictest confidence with respect to the Company’s confidential information. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
agreements and covenants herein, as well as other valuable consideration received, the parties agree as follows: 

1    Observer Rights. 

(a)    Beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that NHTV no longer beneficially owns at least one third (1/3)
of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Board Rights Termination Date” and such period from the date of this Agreement to the Board Rights Termination Date, the
“Observation Period”), NHTV shall have the right to designate, from time to time in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Board, an Observer to attend all meetings (including telephonic or videoconference meetings) of the
Board and all Committees during the Observation Period in a non-voting, observer capacity. NHTV hereby designates Teddy Cummings to serve as the Observer until his/her successor shall have been designated by
NHTV. The Observer may participate fully in discussions of all matters brought to the Board or Committee, as the case may be, for consideration, but in no event shall the Observer (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board or any Committee;
(ii) have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company or its stockholders; (iii) have the right to propose or offer any motions or resolutions to the Board or Committees; or
(iv) have the right to vote on any matter under consideration by the Board or any Committee or otherwise have any power to cause the Company to take, or not to take, any action. The Company shall allow the Observer to attend Board or Committee
meetings either in person or by telephone or electronic communication, as the Observer may elect in its sole discretion. The Observer’s presence shall not be required for purposes of establishing a quorum. 

  
 1 

 (b)    The Company shall provide the Observer copies of all notices,
minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to the members of the Board (or Committee, as applicable), except materials that relate to executive sessions of the Board (collectively, “Board Materials”), including any draft
versions, proposed written consents, and exhibits and annexes to any such materials, at the same time and in the same manner as such information is delivered to the Board members (or Committee members, as applicable), except to the extent the
Observer has been excluded therefrom pursuant to clause (c) below. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company may exclude the Observer from access to any Board Materials, meeting or portion thereof if the Board concludes, acting in good faith, upon advice of the Company’s counsel, that (i) such exclusion is reasonably
necessary to preserve the attorney-client or work product privilege between the Company or its affiliates and its counsel; provided, however, that any such exclusion shall only apply to such portion of such material or meeting
which would be required to preserve such privilege; or (ii) such Board Materials or discussion relates to an existing or potential conflict of interest between the Company or any of its affiliates and NHTV affiliates; or (iii) such portion
of a meeting is an executive session limited solely to independent director members of the Board, independent auditors and/or legal counsel, as the Board may designate, and the Observer (assuming such Observer were a member of the Board) would not
meet the then-applicable standards for independence adopted by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or such other exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded. 

(d)    From and after the Board Rights Termination Date, the rights of NHTV and its designated Observer provided in
Sections 1(a) and 1(b) shall cease. 
 2    Confidentiality. 

(a)    All information, including verbal information and written materials, provided to an Observer in accordance with
Sections 1(a) and 1(b) shall be treated as confidential and sensitive (“Confidential Information”) and, prior to the Observer’s attendance at any Board or Committee meeting, the Board may elect to require the
Observer to execute and deliver to the Company a confidentiality agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. NHTV shall be entitled to receive Confidential Information from the Observer and NHTV agrees not disclose any Confidential
Information to any person, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed: 
 (i)    to NHTV’s partners,
shareholders, members, directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, consultants, investment advisers or other professionals or representatives, or its affiliates or wholly owned subsidiaries
(“Representatives”) in the normal course of the performance of their duties for NHTV (it being understood that such Representatives shall be informed by NHTV of the confidential nature of such information and shall be directed to
treat such information in accordance with this Section 2); 
 (ii)    to the extent requested
or required by applicable law, rule or regulation; provided, that NHTV shall give the Company prompt written notice of such request(s) (including if received by a Representative), to the extent permitted by applicable law, so that the Company
may, at its sole expense, seek an appropriate protective order or similar relief (and NHTV or such Representative shall 

  
 2 

 
cooperate with such efforts by the Company, and shall in any event make only the minimum disclosure required by such applicable law, rule or regulation and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information); 

(iii)    to any person to whom NHTV is contemplating a bona fide transfer of its equity securities of the Company
permitted in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement; provided, that such person is not prohibited from receiving such information pursuant to this Section 2 and, prior to such disclosure, such potential
transferee is advised of the confidential nature of such information and executes a non-disclosure agreement in customary form (and otherwise containing confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than
those contemplated by this Section 2); 
 (iv)    to any governmental, regulatory or
self-regulatory authority or rating agency to which NHTV or any of its affiliates is subject or with which it has regular dealings in connection with any routine request of or any routine examination by such authority or agency, as long as such
authority or agency is advised of the confidential nature of such information; 
 (v)    in connection with NHTV or
NHTV’s affiliates’ normal fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities or to any bona fide prospective purchaser of the equity or assets of NHTV or NHTV’s affiliates, or prospective merger partner of NHTV or
NHTV’s affiliates; provided, that prior to such disclosure the persons to whom such information is disclosed are advised of the confidential nature of such information and execute and deliver a
non-disclosure agreement in customary form (and otherwise containing confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those contemplated by this Section 2) or such person is
otherwise bound by a legal or similar duty of confidentiality in respect of such information; or 
 (vi)    if the
prior written consent of the Company shall have been obtained. 
 (b)    Nothing contained herein shall prevent the use
(subject, to the extent possible, to a protective order) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of any claim by or against the Company. The restrictions contained in this Section 2 shall
terminate twenty-four (24) months following the date on which NHTV ceases to own any shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or any other shares of capital stock of the Company. 

(c)    Confidential Information, with respect to NHTV, does not include information that: (A) is or becomes generally
available to the public (including as a result of any information filed or submitted by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission) other than as a result of a disclosure by NHTV or its Representatives in violation of any
confidentiality provision of this Agreement or any other applicable agreement; (B) is or was available to NHTV or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to NHTV or its
Representatives by the Company; or (C) was or becomes available to NHTV or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis, in each case of (B) and (C), from a source other than the Company,
which source is or was (at the time of receipt of the relevant information) not, to the best of NHTV’s or its Representatives’ knowledge, bound by a confidentiality agreement with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the Company or
another person. 
 3    Expenses. The Company shall be responsible for any and all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Observer’s attendance at Board and Committee meetings. 

  
 3 

 4    Miscellaneous. 

(a)    Each provision of this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and independent clause, and the enforceability of
any one clause shall in no way impair the enforceability of any other clauses herein. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions herein shall for any reason be held to be unenforceable, the appropriate judicial body shall construe such provision by
limiting or reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear. 

(b)    This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by a specific writing signed by both parties. Any
waiver by NHTV or the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or any other provision hereof. 

(c)    This Agreement and all aspects of the relationship between the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Any claims or legal actions by one party against the other shall be commenced and maintained in any state or federal court
located in the State of Delaware and both parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any such court. 

(d)    The Company, on the one hand, and NHTV, on the other hand, each acknowledge and agree that monetary damages may not
be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by it and that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach hereof, (i) the non-breaching party shall have the right to
seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without proof of actual damages; (ii) the breaching party will not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; and (iii) the breaching party agrees to waive
any applicable right or requirement that a bond be posted by the non-breaching party. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other
remedies that may be available to the non-breaching party at law or in equity. 

(e)    This Agreement may be executed and delivered either originally or by facsimile and in counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original but taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (f)    The provisions
of Sections 2, 3, 4(c), 4(d) and this Section 4(f) will survive termination of this Agreement.

                    (“Observer”; collectively with the Company, the “Parties”). 

 

	1.	 Confidential Information. 

 

	 	(a)	 The Observer hereby acknowledges and represents that he has had the opportunity to consult with independent
legal counsel regarding his rights and obligations under this Agreement and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein. The Observer agrees that he will not: (i) use, disclose, or reverse engineer the Confidential
Information except as authorized by the Company Entities or as otherwise permitted herein or (ii) upon the Observer’s resignation or termination retain Confidential Information, including any copies existing in any form (including
electronic form), that are in his possession or control (other than back-up copies of electronic files created in the ordinary course of business, which the Observer shall keep confidential in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement for so long as they exist and remain Confidential Information, irrespective of the provisions of Paragraph 5). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Observer may use the Confidential Information in the course of
performing his duties as Observer on behalf of NHTV Nevada Holdings LP (“NHTV”) as described hereunder; provided, that such use is made in good faith. 

 

	 	(b)	 Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Observer shall not be held
criminally or civilly liable under trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret made in confidence to a government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected
violation of law or made in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Observer from reporting possible violations of applicable laws or regulations to any applicable
governmental agency or entity or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. The Observer does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or
disclosures, and the Observer is not required to notify the Company that the Observer has made such reports or disclosures. 

	 	(c)	 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company and NHTV are parties to that certain Board Observer
Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2021 (the “Observer Agreement”), pursuant to which “Confidential Information” (as defined in the Observer Agreement) may from time to time be provided or made available to NHTV on the
terms and conditions of the Observer Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the disclosure or use by NHTV of any “Confidential Information” (as defined in the Observer Agreement) that has
been provided or made available to NHTV pursuant to the Observer Agreement, provided that such disclosure or use is in accordance with the Observer Agreement. 

 

	 	(d)	 “Company Entities” means the Company and its subsidiaries. 

 

	 	(e)	 “Confidential Information” means all valuable and confidential materials and information

copyrighted or able to be copyrighted or registered as a trademark or registrable as a trademark and all modifications, derivative works, enhancements and versions thereof. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is

non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Observer by or on behalf of a Company Entity, (iii) is shown to have been
