(a)Appointment of New Director. No later than four (4) business days after the Effective Date, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and all applicable committees thereof shall take (or shall have taken) such actions as are necessary to appoint Ella Benson (the “New Director”) as a member of the Board, such appointment effective as of a date which is no later than four (4) business days of the Effective Date. The Company further agrees that the Board and all applicable committees thereof shall take such actions as are necessary to nominate the New Director for election as a director of the Company at the Company’s 2024 and 2025 annual meetings of stockholders (the “2024/2025 Annual Meetings”) and will (i) recommend that the stockholders of the Company vote to elect the New Director as a director of the Company at each of the 2024/2025 Annual Meetings and (ii) use its reasonable commercial efforts to support and solicit proxies for the election of the New Director to serve for a one-year term in the same manner in which the Company supports and solicits proxies for its other nominees up for election in connection with each of the 2024/2025 Annual Meetings. The Board and all applicable committees thereof, based on information provided by Oasis and the New Director, have determined, on or prior to the date hereof, that the New Director (A) qualifies as an “independent director” under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Listing Standards, the rules and regulations of the SEC and any director independence standards adopted by the Board that are applicable to all non-employee directors on the Board, and (B) satisfies the guidelines and policies with respect to service on the Board that are applicable to all non-employee directors (collectively, the “Director Criteria”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1(a), in the event that the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the taking of any the foregoing recommendation actions with respect to the 2024/2025 Annual Meetings would constitute a breach of fiduciary duties to the Company and the Company’s stockholders , then the Company shall not be required to take such actions and shall notify Oasis in writing promptly (and in any event within three(3) business days) of such determination (a “Fiduciary Duty Recommendation Change”) and the reasons therefor and Oasis shall be entitled to nominate a new natural person (acceptable to the Board and/or the Nominating and Governance Committee in the exercise of their fiduciary duties) for election to the Board as the New Director within twenty (20) calendar days of Oasis’ receipt of such notice from the Company (the “Fiduciary Duty Appointee”). In connection with such anticipated nomination at the 2024/2025 Annual Meetings, the New Director shall execute and deliver the Form of Consent to Nomination attached as Exhibit A.

(b)New Director Benefits. The New Director will be entitled to the same director benefits as other non-employee members of the Board, including (x) compensation for such director’s service as a director and reimbursement of such director’s expenses incurred after joining the Board, in each case on the same basis as all other non-employee directors of Company; (y) equity-based compensation grants and other benefits, if any, on the same basis as all other non-employee directors of Company; and (z) the same rights of indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as the other non-employee directors of Company as such rights may exist from time to time.

(c)New Director Information. As of the Effective Date, the New Director shall have completed, executed and delivered to the Company the Company’s most recent directors’ and officers’ questionnaire and such written consents reasonably requested by the Company as may be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s vetting procedures applicable to non-employee directors, and shall have agreed to comply with all policies, codes of conduct, confidentiality obligations, codes of ethics and other policies applicable to the Company’s non-employee directors, including the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, to provide the information regarding themselves that is required by the Company to determine the Director Criteria.

(d)New Director Agreements, Arrangements and Understandings. Oasis agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates (i) has paid or will pay any compensation to the New Director in connection with her service on the Board or any committee thereof, or (ii) has or will have any agreement, arrangement, or understanding, written or oral, with the New Director regarding her service or actions on the Board or any committee thereof.

(e)Nominating and Governance Committee Appointment; Chairperson. Effective concurrently upon the appointment of the New Director to the Board, the Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee shall take all necessary action to appoint the New Director to the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board and to assign her as the Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board and Nominating and Governance Committee shall maintain the New Director as Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee for the duration of the Cooperation Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence of this Section 1(e), in the event that after the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the New Director’s continued service as Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee would constitute a breach of fiduciary duties to the Company and the Company’s stockholders, then the Board shall not be required to maintain the New Director’s Chair position and the Company shall notify Oasis in writing promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days) of such determination and the reasons therefor and Oasis shall be entitled to recommend a replacement Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee within twenty (20) calendar days and the Board and the

Nominating and Governance Committee shall take such recommendation into consideration in good faith. In the event that the New Director no longer serves as Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee as a result of a Fiduciary Duty Recommendation Change, the Fiduciary Duty Appointee shall serve as Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee upon his or her appointment.

(f)Replacement New Director. Subject to the following sentence of this Section 1(f), if the New Director is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director, is removed as a director or ceases to be a director, in each case for any reason, prior to the expiration of the Cooperation Period, the Company and Oasis shall cooperate to identify and mutually agree upon a replacement director candidate who satisfies the Director Criteria (the “Replacement New Director”), and the Board and all applicable committees thereof shall take (or shall have taken) such actions as are necessary to appoint the Replacement New Director to serve as a director of the Company and as a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee; provided, that such Replacement New Director satisfies any applicable requirements for serving on such committee. Effective upon the appointment of the Replacement New Director to the Board, such Replacement New Director will be considered the “New Director” for all purposes of this Agreement from and after such appointment.

The Company’s obligations under this Section 1 shall terminate, and Oasis shall have no rights under this Section 1, upon any material breach of this Agreement by Oasis or other Restricted Person (as defined below) acting on behalf of Oasis upon five (5) business days’ written notice by the Company to Oasis if such breach has not been cured within such five (5) business days’ notice period (or immediately upon receipt of such notice if such breach is incapable of being cured); provided, that the Company (i) specifies in such written notice, in reasonable detail, the material breach upon which it is relying to terminate its obligations under this Section 1 and (ii) is not in material breach of this Agreement at the time such notice is given or prior to the end of the notice period.

The Parties agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada or in the state courts of Nevada (or ay appellate courts of the foregoing) sitting in Clark County. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the application of such jurisdiction. The parties agree that delivery of process or other papers in connection with any such Legal Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10 of this Agreement or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. FURTHERMORE, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND (B) AGREES TO WAIVE ANY BONDING REQUIREMENT UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW, IN THE CASE ANY OTHER PARTY SEEKS TO ENFORCE THE TERMS BY WAY OF EQUITABLE RELIEF. In the event that any action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

(b)Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the other party would be irreparably injured by an actual breach of this Agreement by the first-mentioned party or its Representatives and that monetary remedies may be inadequate to protect either party against any actual or threatened breach or continuation of any breach of this Agreement. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the parties under this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction or otherwise and specific performance of the provisions hereof upon satisfying the requirements to obtain such relief without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, if the other party or any of its Representatives breaches or threatens to breach any provision of this Agreement. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the non-breaching party.

12.Severability. If at any time subsequent to the date hereof, any provision of this Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable,

such provision will be of no force and effect, but the illegality or unenforceability of such provision will have no effect upon the legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. The parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

13.Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Cooperation Period and (ii) mutual written consent of the parties hereto. Upon such termination, this Agreement shall have no further force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 9 to 18 shall survive termination of this Agreement, and no termination of this Agreement shall relieve either party of liability for any breach of this Agreement arising prior to such termination.

14.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by scanned computer image (such as .pdf), each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither party hereto shall be bound by any contractual obligation to the other party hereto (including by means of any oral agreement) until all counterparts to this Agreement have been duly executed by both of the parties hereto and delivered to the other party hereto (including by means of electronic delivery).

15.No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Company and Oasis and is not enforceable by any other persons. Neither party to this Agreement may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, and any assignment in contravention hereof will be null and void.

16.No Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof or of any breach of any other provision hereof, nor will any single or partial waiver thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder. The failure of either party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

17.Entire Understanding; Amendment. This Agreement (together with the exhibits hereto, and any other written agreement entered into by the parties hereto dated as of the date hereof) contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, memoranda, arrangements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing executed by the Company and Oasis.

18.Interpretation and Construction. Each of the Company and Oasis acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement, and that it has executed the same with the advice of said counsel. Both parties and their respective counsel cooperated and participated in the drafting and

preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged among the parties will be deemed the work product of all of the parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its drafting or preparation. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against any party that drafted or prepared it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived by the Company and Oasis, and any controversy over interpretations of this Agreement will be decided without regard to events of drafting or preparation. References to specified rules promulgated by the SEC shall be deemed to refer to such rules in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes,” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” When a reference is made in this Agreement to any Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “hereof,” “herein”, “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “shall.” The word “or” is not exclusive. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Any agreement, instrument, law, rule or statute defined or referred to herein means, unless otherwise indicated, such agreement, instrument, law, rule (other than rules promulgated by the SEC) or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that the Investor can reasonably demonstrate (i) was already in the possession of the Investor, its Representatives or the New Director prior to the date hereof or when such information is received from the Company; (ii) was or is independently developed by the Investor, its Representatives or the New Director without use of Confidential Information; (iii) is now, or hereafter becomes, available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Investor that is prohibited by this Agreement (provided that any disclosure by the

Investor or its Representatives to which the Company consents in advance shall be deemed to not be prohibited by this Agreement); (iv) becomes available to the Investor, its Representatives or the New Director on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Representatives and such source is not, to the knowledge of the Investor, (1) under any obligation to the Company or any of its Representatives to keep such information confidential or (2) otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation; or (v) is disclosed as provided in Section 2(b).

(b)“Receive” means all information that is provided to the New Director or to the Investor or its, his, her or their Representatives as a result of or in the course of the New Director’s service as a director of the Company.

The Company acknowledges that the Investor’s or its respective Affiliates’ members, partners, directors, officers, employees or the like may serve as directors of the Investor’s or its Affiliates’ operating companies or portfolio companies of investment funds managed by the Investor or an Affiliate thereof, and the Company agrees that such operating or portfolio companies will not be deemed to have received Confidential Information solely because any such individual serves on the board of such operating or portfolio company; provided, that (i) such individual has not provided such operating or portfolio company or any other board member or any officer, employee or other representative of such operating or portfolio company with Confidential Information and (ii) such operating or portfolio company does not in any way use such Confidential Information or otherwise act at the direction of or with encouragement from the Investor or its Representatives with respect to any matters contemplated hereby.

2.Confidentiality and Use of Confidential Information.

The Investor agrees, and agrees to cause its Representatives, to keep all Confidential Information strictly confidential and not disclose Confidential Information to any Person other than those of its Representatives who need to know such Confidential Information to assist an Investor for the purposes of advising, monitoring and evaluating its investment in the Company (the “Purpose”), or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any such disclosure of Confidential Information, the Investor shall furnish to such Representative only that portion of the Confidential Information necessary for the Purpose, or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement. Before providing access to Confidential Information to any Representative, the Investor shall inform such Representative of the contents of this Agreement and the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, and shall advise such Representative that, by accepting possession of or access to such Confidential Information, such Representative is agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. The Investor shall instruct its Representatives to observe the terms of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives.

legally required pursuant to applicable law or regulation (in each case if and as determined based on advice of counsel), to disclose any Confidential Information, the Investor shall (to the extent permissible under applicable law or the terms of such demand or request), if reasonably practicable, give the Company prompt notice of such request or requirement so that the Company may, at the Company’s sole expense, seek an appropriate protective order, and, upon the Company’s request and at the Company’s sole expense, shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Company in seeking such an order. If the Investor is nonetheless compelled to disclose Confidential Information, the Investor (or such Representative of the Investor to whom such request is directed) will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that, on the advice of counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and, upon the Company’s request, use its reasonable best efforts, at the Company’s sole expense, to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information, and shall (to the extent permissible under applicable law or the terms of such demand or request) provide the Company with the text of the proposed disclosure as reasonably far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable and shall in good faith consult with and consider the reasonable suggestions of the Company concerning the nature and scope of the information it proposes to disclose.

Nothing herein shall constitute an admission by a Party that any Confidential Information in fact contains material non-public information concerning the Company. The Company shall provide the Investor with at least two (2) business days’ advance written notice when the trading window under the Company’s insider trading policy is open or closed, or when a trading blackout period has begun or ended, and directors or officers of the Company are permitted (or prohibited) to trade in securities of the Company.

3.Accuracy of Confidential Information; No Representations or Warranties. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by the Company, or any of its respective Representatives, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information. Neither the Company nor any of its Representatives shall have any liability to the Investor or any of its Representatives on account of the use of any Confidential Information by the Investor or any of its Representatives or any inaccuracy therein or omission therefrom.
