To facilitate a smooth and mutually agreeable transition, this Separation Agreement and the Mutual Release of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Mutual Release”) summarize the terms of your separation, including compensation and benefits.

Your employment will terminate on July 1, 2025 (the “Termination Date”). From the Effective Date through the Termination Date (the “Transition Period”), the Company will continue to pay your current base salary, reimburse approved business expenses, and maintain your existing employee benefits, all in accordance with its standard practices.

During the Transition Period, you agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company to transition your duties.

On the Termination Date, you will and hereby do resign from all roles within the Company Group, including: (a) President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Parent; (b) member of the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Board”); and (c) all other positions then held by you as an officer, manager, or member of any board of directors or comparable governing body and any committee thereof, throughout the Company Group. You agree to execute such additional documentation as may be reasonably necessary to formalize these resignations upon request.

Regardless of whether you sign this Agreement, the Company will pay you (a) your accrued but unpaid base salary earned through (and including) the Termination Date, (b) the amount of any expense reimbursements incurred by you in accordance with the Company’s policies through (and including) the Termination Date, and (c) any accrued but unpaid benefits provided under the Company’s employee benefit plans, subject to and in accordance with the terms of those plans, in each case, less applicable withholding and employment taxes, all of which shall be paid to you within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date (or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law) or such other date as required under the applicable employee benefit plan. For purposes of this Agreement, the amounts described in this section shall be referred to as the “Accrued Obligations.”

You and the Company will execute and deliver the Mutual Release no later than July 8, 2025.

If you (a) sign and return this Separation Agreement; (b) execute and deliver the Mutual Release by July 8, 2025, and you do not revoke the Mutual Release (as permitted under Section 1(g) of the Mutual Release); and (c) comply with your obligations under this Separation Agreement, then you will receive and be paid the following (collectively, the “Separation Benefits”):

a.Salary Continuation Payments. The Company will pay you severance in the total gross amount of $450,507.00 in substantially equal installments over twelve (12) months in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule, beginning after July 16, 2025 (the “Salary Continuation Payments”) and ending June 30, 2026; provided, that the first Salary Continuation Payment will include amounts accrued from the Termination Date.

b.COBRA Reimbursement. Your medical and dental insurance continuation rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) will be provided to you in a separate letter.

c.Parent Stock Options and Restricted Stock. As of the date of this Separation Agreement, you hold the options to acquire Parent common stock set forth on Exhibit B (the “Options”) and those Restricted Shares in Parent set forth on Exhibit C (“Restricted Shares”).

d.Additional Severance. Subject to and conditional upon the consummation of the sale or disposition of the BGSF Professional Division within twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, the Company will pay you additional severance (the “Additional Severance”) in the total gross amount of $300,000.00, payable in nine (9) substantially equal monthly installments of $33,333.33 per month beginning in the first calendar month immediately after the last Salary Continuation Payment is paid pursuant to paragraph 5(a) above.

You acknowledge and agree that the payments and other benefits provided pursuant to this Separation Agreement are in full discharge of any and all liabilities and obligations of the Company Group to you, monetarily or with respect to employee benefits or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any and all obligations arising under (a) your Executive Employment Agreement dated February 6, 2019 (your “Employment Agreement”), (b) any alleged written or oral employment agreement, policy, plan or procedure of the Company or (c) any alleged understanding or arrangement between you and any member of the Company Group (other than claims with respect to the Options or for vested benefits under an employee welfare benefit, insurance, or pension plan of the Company Group (excluding any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement providing severance or similar benefits), subject to the terms and conditions of such plan(s)).

You hereby certify that you have complied with all the terms of the Covenant Agreement through the date you sign this agreement, and you agree that you will continue to comply with all post-termination obligations set forth in the Covenant Agreement (if applicable and as expressly modified herein). If a court of competent jurisdiction determines and finds that you materially breach the Covenant Agreement (if applicable and as modified in paragraph 5(e) above), then (a) the Options will be immediately cancelled and forfeited, and (b) the Company may seek to recover, in addition to any other remedy available (on a non-exclusive basis), an amount equal to the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) of all Salary Continuation Payments, COBRA Reimbursements and Additional Severance payments received by you under this Separation Agreement, and the Company shall be entitled to stop making any further such payments to you.

7.    Mutual Non-Disparagement

You covenant and agree that, except as permitted or required by applicable law, you will not, during the Transition Period or at any time thereafter, directly or indirectly: (a) make or publish any statement that in any way disparages, criticizes, ridicules, or reflects negatively on any member of the Company Group or any of their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, equity holders, agents or employees; or (b) make or publish any negative comments regarding any member of the Company Group or any of their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, equity holders, agents or employees, whether or not done anonymously, to, through or on any media source or outlet, including, but not limited to, any reporters, news outlets, television stations, social media applications or outlets, websites, magazines, periodicals, journals, “apps”, or the like.

Company Group covenants and agrees its “executive officers” (as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act) and Board members shall not make or publish any statement that in any way disparages, criticizes, ridicules, or reflects negatively on you or your performance as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company or Parent.

The foregoing provision and all other provisions herein do not restrict you or any member of the Company Group from cooperating with any government investigation or testifying if so required by subpoena or as otherwise required by applicable law.

8.    Cooperation and Assistance

For six (6) months following the Termination Date, and upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, you agree to reasonably assist and cooperate with the Company, by telephone or video conference or otherwise, concerning business or legal related matters about

which you possess relevant knowledge or information. Such cooperation shall only be provided at the Company’s specific request and will include, but not be limited to, assisting or advising the Company with respect to any business-related matters or any actual or threatened legal action (including testifying in depositions, hearings, and/or trials) about which you possess relevant knowledge or information. In addition, you agree to promptly inform the Company if any person or entity contacts you in an effort to obtain information about the Company.

9.    Choice of Law

This Separation Agreement will be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the State of Texas, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Texas without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the provisions of this Separation Agreement is invalid or legally unenforceable, all other provisions of this Separation Agreement shall not be affected and are still enforceable. This Separation Agreement and the Mutual Release are intended to be a single integrated contract expressing our entire understanding regarding the subjects it addresses. As such, it supersedes any and all prior oral and written agreements and discussions between the parties related to your employment with and separation from the Company. This Separation Agreement and Mutual Release may be amended or modified only by an agreement in writing signed by you and countersigned by an executive officer of the Company. The failure by the Company or you (a) to declare a breach, or (b) to otherwise assert rights under this Separation Agreement and Mutual Release, shall not be construed as a waiver of any of rights under this Separation Agreement and Mutual Release. This Separation Agreement and the Mutual Release may be executed and delivered (including by portable document format or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. For the avoidance of doubt, if this terms of this Separation Agreement are inconsistent with any other Company Group written plan or agreement, this Separation Agreement shall control and govern.

11.    Section 409A

This Separation Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and will be interpreted in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (and any related regulations or other pronouncements). Amounts payable under this Separation Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent provided in the exceptions set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-term deferrals”) and Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (“separation pay plans”) and other applicable provisions of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1 through A-6. Each payment made under this Separation Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, any continued health benefit plan coverage that you are entitled to receive following your termination of employment is expected to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and, as such, shall not be subject to delay pursuant to this section. To the extent that any reimbursement, fringe benefit, or other similar arrangement provided herein provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (a) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (b) the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment in any other calendar year (except that a plan providing medical or health benefits may impose a generally applicable limit on the amount that may be reimbursed or paid), (c) subject to any shorter time periods provided in any

expense reimbursement policy of the Company, any reimbursement or payment of an expense under such plan or arrangement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (d) the reimbursements shall be made pursuant to objectively determinable and nondiscretionary Company policies and procedures regarding such reimbursement of expenses. While the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall any member of the Company Group be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on you as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A of the Code).

This Separation Agreement may be executed in multiple original counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same document.
