THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

1.    Repurchase.

(a)Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions and to the terms set forth in paragraph 1(b) below, the Seller hereby agrees to transfer, assign, sell, convey and deliver to the Company 100% of its right, title, and interest in and to the applicable Sale Number (as defined below) of shares of Common Stock (the “Repurchase Shares”) at each Closing (as defined below). The “Sale Number” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock acquired by the Company during the Pricing Period (as defined below) as of the applicable Determination Date (as defined below) under the Share Repurchase Program through open market purchases (that is, from shareholders other than Seller) (such shares purchased in the open market are referred to as the “Public Shares”), rounded down to the nearest whole share. The “Pricing Period” shall be the period from the date of this Agreement through the applicable Determination Date in the case of the first Determination Date or the period from the most recent preceding Determination Date to the applicable Determination Date otherwise. A “Determination Date” shall be (i) the date that the Company has paid, commencing the date hereof, an aggregate of $37,500,000 to repurchase shares of Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Program through open market purchases, (ii) any date earlier than the Determination Date contemplated by clause (i) as the parties hereto mutually agree, provided that any such mutual agreement may be reached only during an open trading window under the Company’s insider trading policy, as such are determined by the Company from time to time, and (iii) January 14, 2022, but (in the case of this clause (iii)) only if the Determination Date contemplated by clause (i) has not occurred prior to January 14, 2022. The per share purchase price for each Repurchase Share shall be equal to the average per share price paid by the Company during the applicable Pricing Period for the Public Shares (the “Weighted Average Per Share Purchase Price” and the

Weighted Average Per Share Purchase Price multiplied by the applicable Sale Number is the “Aggregate Purchase Price”). On or promptly following each Determination Date (and in any event no later than the second business day following such Determination Date), the Company shall notify the Seller, in writing, of the applicable Sale Number of Repurchase Shares, the applicable Weighted Average Per Share Purchase Price and the applicable Aggregate Purchase Price, together with related calculations (including details of the corresponding purchases of Public Shares). At each Closing (as defined below), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions and to the terms set forth in paragraph 1(b), Seller agrees to transfer, assign, sell, convey and deliver the applicable Sale Number of Repurchase Shares to the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to purchase such Repurchase Shares from Seller at the applicable Weighted Average Per Share Purchase Price. The Company and the Seller shall execute a cross-receipt in mutually agreeable form at each Closing.

(b)The obligations of the Company to purchase the Repurchase Shares and the Seller to sell the Repurchase Shares at each Closing shall be subject to no event occurring since the date of this Agreement as of such Closing that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

(c)It is the intent of the Seller and the Company that the transactions provided for herein comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and this Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements thereof.

(d)Each closing of the sale of the applicable Sale Number of Repurchase Shares (each, a “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (New York time) fifteen (15) days after the Company notifies Seller that a Determination Date has occurred (or, if such day is not a business day, the next business day following such 15-day period), at the offices of the Company in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Seller; provided, that, in the case of any Determination Date that occurs on or prior to January 14, 2022, Closing shall take place on January 24, 2022 unless otherwise agreed by the Company and Seller. At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Company or as instructed by the Company duly executed stock powers relating to the applicable Sale Number of Repurchase Shares together with certificates representing the applicable Sale Number of Repurchase Shares (if applicable), and the Company shall deliver to the Seller the applicable Aggregate Purchase Price for such Repurchase Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions previously provided by the Seller to the Company.
