WHEREAS, Company employed Employee most recently in the position of Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a Letter Agreement dated April 8, 2019 (the “Letter Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Company and Employee seek to separate from their employment relationship under the mutually agreed upon terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Letter Agreement;

WHEREAS, Company offers Employee the separation benefits described under this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and set forth in Employee’s Letter Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to resolve, finally and completely, and with prejudice, any and all issues, disputes or matters between them, without admitting liability; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants set forth below, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Separation Date; Final Paycheck; and Termination of Employment Benefits.

(a) Employee’s employment with Company completely and permanently terminated, effective September 2, 2022 (the “Separation Date”). This Agreement will be effective only if Employee signs it on or after the Separation Date. After the Separation Date, Employee will not represent himself as being an employee, agent or representative of Company for any purpose, nor will he engage or attempt to engage, directly or indirectly, in any business on Company’s behalf or otherwise act in a manner that might bind Company. Employee acknowledges that, as of the Separation Date, he has resigned from all positions held by him with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including any directorships he held at the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

(b) In accordance with Company’s normal payroll practices, the Company will tender Employee a final payment for all unpaid wages that Employee earned through the Separation Date, including without limitation payment for accrued, but unused vacation benefits, subject to all applicable taxes and deductions, by mailing a check to Employee for that amount or, if Employee elected to be paid by direct deposit during Employee’s employment with Company, by causing that amount to be direct deposited into Employee’s designated bank account. Employee acknowledges that, other than the final pay described under this subsection 1(b), Company owes Employee no other wages, benefits, leave (paid or unpaid), overtime, bonuses, compensation, or other payment of any kind.

(c) If Employee enrolled in the group medical, dental and/or vision benefits plan for which Employee was eligible during his Company employment, Employee’s coverage under said plans will continue until the last day of the month in which the Separation Date occurs. Thereafter, Employee may be eligible to elect continued coverage of such insurance benefits after said extended coverage period expires, pursuant to the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”). Employee will receive appropriate notice and forms regarding such coverage under COBRA. Employee will be solely responsible for electing and enrolling in COBRA continuation coverage in an appropriate and timely manner and for any and all required payments, including any premium payments, relating to such COBRA coverage, except as outlined in Section 2 of the Agreement.

(d) After the Separation Date, Employee shall no longer participate in, be covered by, or be eligible under any of the employee benefit plans, policies or programs offered by Company, unless otherwise provided under the terms and conditions of such employee benefit plans, policies or programs or by governing law. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any right that Employee may have to any vested benefit under such employee benefit programs or plans of Company pursuant to the terms of such employee benefit programs or plans and governing law.

(e) No Disagreements. Employee represents that he has no disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

2. Consideration.

(a) Severance Benefit and COBRA Subsidy Payment. In accordance with the Letter Agreement and in consideration for Employee’s execution of this Agreement and the promises, covenants, agreements, and general release of all claims set forth herein, the Company agrees to pay to Employee or on his behalf, and the Employee agrees to accept the following:

(i) The gross total sum of Three Million One Hundred Five Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($3,105,000.00) (“Severance Benefit”). Employee acknowledges that the Separation Payment is equal to twenty-four (24) months of his current salary plus two (2.0) times his current annual target Base Bonus amount under the Company’s current annual cash incentive in which Employee is eligible to participate The Separation Payment, less applicable taxes and deductions, will be deposited into Employee’s bank account via twenty-four equal installments paid in accordance with Company’s regular pay dates for a period of twenty-four months, with the first payment, representing seven installments, paid on the first business day of the seventh month following the Separation Date and Effective Date of this Agreement, or if earlier upon your death, and each subsequent installment on the first regularly scheduled pay date in each of the 17 subsequent months thereafter. This amount will be subject to tax withholdings and will be reported on an IRS Form W-2; and

(ii) If Employee provides Company with documentation showing to Company’s satisfaction that he timely and properly enrolled for COBRA coverage for the medical plan, dental plan, and vision plan, Employee will continue participation in these plans at the current “active” employee contribution rate for Employee and his eligible dependents (where applicable) and the Company will pay the “employer” share of the coverage payments, less applicable taxes

- 2 -

and deductions for a maximum of twenty-four (24) months (the “COBRA Subsidy Payment”). The COBRA Subsidy Payment will be tendered directly to Company’s third-party provider of COBRA coverage on his behalf; provided, that if participation in such plans cannot be maintained beyond the period permitted for COBRA, the Company will pay the COBRA Subsidy Payment directly to Employee.

(b) Timing and Conditions of Separation Benefit and COBRA Subsidy Payment. Company will provide Employee with the consideration described in Section 2(a) after the latest of the following events occur: (i) Company receives a copy of this Agreement signed by Employee; and (ii) the Effective Date (defined in Section 20). Employee acknowledges and agrees that no payment or benefit provided under this Agreement, including the consideration described in Section 2(a), will be owed to Employee unless and until each and every of the events described in the preceding sentence is completed or satisfied.

(c) Consulting Work. In addition to the consideration provided in Section 2(a) of this Agreement, Employee agrees that he shall remain available to provide reasonable consulting services to the Company to assist with the successful transition of his position to a successor. Should the Company request such consulting services from Employee, Employee will be compensated at a rate of Five Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($500.00) per hour for his consulting work. In no event, however, will the Company request that Employee provide consulting services in excess of eight hours per week.

(d) Acknowledgment. Employee acknowledges that the benefits provided under this Agreement are provided pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the Letter Agreement (Severance Agreement Without Change In Control). As set forth in the Letter Agreement, Employee will not be eligible to earn and will not receive any Severance Benefit or COBRA Subsidy Benefit if the Company, in its sole discretion, concludes that facts and circumstances exist or existed that would have justified a termination for “Cause,” as defined in Paragraph 8 of the Letter Agreement. Additionally, as set forth in the Letter Agreement, if the Company determines (in its sole discretion) after any such severance benefits have commenced or otherwise been provided to Employee under this Agreement, that there are facts and circumstances that would have justified a termination of Employee’s employment for “Cause,” he will no longer receive any Severance Benefit or COBRA Subsidy Benefit and the Company may require Employee to repay upon thirty (30) days’ notice the gross amount of the Severance Benefit and COBRA Subsidy Benefit (or any portion thereof) that previously were paid to him or on his behalf. Additionally, should Employee breach any representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement, Company will not be entitled to the Severance Benefit or COBRA Subsidy Benefit.

(e) Tax Consequences. Employee agrees and acknowledges that he shall be solely responsible for all taxes, assessments, interest, and penalties determined to be due by any federal, state or local government, agency or any other tax authority, court or tribunal, in connection with the aforementioned settlement payment including, without limitation, any federal, state and local withholding taxes and Social Security taxes, except for Company’s original contributions to FICA that would have been required at the time of payment. Employee covenants that he has not relied on Company for advice regarding any tax liabilities or consequences.

(f) Adequate Consideration. Employee understands, agrees and covenants that the consideration set forth in Section 2(a) and Section 2(c) exceeds what Employee is otherwise entitled to receive upon separation from his Company employment, and that Employee would not receive said consideration but for Employee’s entering this Agreement. Employee accepts the consideration set forth in Section 2 as adequate and as the full, final, and complete settlement of all possible claims that Employee might have against Company as described in Section 4. Employee expressly understands, agrees and covenants that Company will not be required to make any payment, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any payment of attorneys’ fees or costs and any payment to Employee or any person, heir, estate, attorney, representative, successor, assign, or agent acting on Employee’s behalf in connection with any claim or right that might possibly be asserted by him or on his behalf.
