3.Severance Consideration Payments. The Upfront Severance will be paid so long as You have timely signed this Agreement and not revoked it. The Contingent Severance will be paid so long as You have timely signed this Agreement, not revoked it, and complied with all of the material terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to, Section 7 through Section 11.

9.Confidential Information and Non-Solicitation.

(a)You acknowledge that during the course of Your employment with the Company, You were exposed to and had access to the Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Company Group”). You acknowledge that Confidential Information is the Company’s exclusive property. You therefore agree that You will not use for Your own benefit or use for or disclose to any competitor or any other person, firm, corporation, or other entity, the Confidential Information. You acknowledge

Joseph D. Fisher

September 2, 2025

Page 7

and agree that Your obligation to hold the Confidential Information confidential continues in perpetuity.

(b)The Company and the Company Group have provided You access to trade secrets, as defined in C.R.S. § 7-74-101, et seq., while employed by the Company, and You acknowledge and agree that the Company and other members of the Company Group have entrusted You, based on Your unique and special capacity as a senior executive, with trade secrets concerning the Company and other members of the Company Group. In consideration of the Company and other members of the Company Group having provided You with access to such information and as an express incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement, You have voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Section 9. You agree and acknowledge that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects, will not cause You undue hardship or affect Your ability to earn a livelihood, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to protect the trade secrets of the Company and other members of the Company Group. You agree and acknowledge that at the time You first received this Agreement, You were provided with the notice entitled “Colorado Notice,” (Attachment A to this Agreement) which You acknowledge fully complies with the requirements of Colorado law, including C.R.S. § 8-2-113, et seq. You acknowledge that You received this Agreement and the Colorado Notice at least 14 days before the effective date of Section 9(c). Section 9(c) will not go into effect until the later of: (i) the Agreement Effective Date and (ii) 14 days after Your receipt of this Agreement (the “Covenant Effective Date”).

(c)For the twelve months following the Covenant Effective Date, You shall not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, for You or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature, solicit, encourage, entice, or induce any officer, director, employee, or consultant of the Company Group to terminate his, her or its employment or engagement with the Company or any member of the Company Group.

(d)Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company and other members of the Company Group as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 9, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the Company and other members of the Company Group for which they would have no other adequate remedy, in addition to the right to claw back 50% of the Contingent Severance as set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Company and each other member of the Company Group shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. Neither the aforementioned equitable relief, nor the right to claw back 50% of the Contingent Severance as set forth in Section 3 hereof, shall be the Company’s or any other member of the Company Group’s exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each other member of the Company Group at law and equity.

(e)The covenants in this Section 9 and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect

Joseph D. Fisher

September 2, 2025

Page 8

the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time, or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

(f)The following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Confidential Information” means all non-public information and materials of or pertaining to the Company and any member of the Company Group in any form or medium, including (without limitation) all notes, analyses, compilations, copies, documents, recordings, summaries, reproductions, copies, translations, electronic copies or versions (in any medium including video, email, audio, video, MP3, or voicemail), regardless of where the same may have been stored (including on any of Your personal devices and information and materials generated by You or third parties, received by a member of the Company Group from third parties). By way of example, “Confidential Information” includes trade secrets and any and all of the following types of information: as to any Company Group member’s business practices, operations, prospects, and agreements, or legal information and advice; protected by any and all non-disclosure agreements signed by You during employment; concerning claims against or by any member of the Company Group; acquired by You in Your capacity as an employee of any member of the Company Group; education or training programs and materials developed by the Company Group or acquired from a third party; contained in a Company Group member’s financial records; concerning prospects, events, information technology techniques and arrangements, processes and procedures for creating IT related resources, contemplated products and services and agreement terms; concerning past acquisitions (closed or not closed) and acquisitions being planned or considered, concerning data and issues related to public filings, and/or concerning other business, marketing, sales, strategic and operational data of the Company Group. Confidential Information includes all other Company Group information and materials which are of a propriety or confidential nature, even if they are not marked as such. Moreover, all documents, videotapes, written presentations, brochures, drawings, memoranda, notes, records, files, correspondence, manuals, models, specifications, computer programs, e-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, maps, drawings, architectural renditions, models and all other writings or materials of any type including or embodying any of such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, inventions and other similar forms of expression are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company Group and be subject to the same restrictions on disclosure applicable to all Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, any materials or information relating to the Company’s Capital Allocation Platform, as well as any materials or information relating to the Company’s Customer Experience Project. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include any materials or information that (i) is or becomes generally available or is readily ascertainable to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or wrongful act of You or any of Your agents; (ii) arises from Your general training, knowledge, skill, or experience, whether gained on the job or otherwise, (iii) was available to You on a non-confidential basis before its disclosure by a member of the Company Group; or (iii) becomes available to You on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a member of the Company Group; provided, however, that, to the Your knowledge, such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation with

respect to confidentiality to, a member of the Company Group.

10.Non-Disparagement. You agree on behalf of yourself and your spouse not to make statements to members of the public that are in any way disparaging or negative towards the Company, any of its affiliates, or the products, services, representatives, or employees of any of the foregoing except as required by subpoena or government agency having jurisdiction over the matter at issue, in which case You will only make truthful statements. This includes, but is not limited to, any statements that disparage the products, services, finances, financial condition, capability or any other aspect of the business of the Company. You further agree not to engage in any conduct which is intended to harm, professionally or personally, the reputation of the Company or its officers, directors, managers or employees. The disclosure of underlying facts of any alleged discriminatory or unfair employment practice does not constitute disparagement. Similarly, the Company agrees that none of its executive officers or directors, including but not limited to Warren Troupe and Thomas Toomey (the “Covered Individuals”) shall make statements to third parties that are in any way disparaging or negative towards You except as required by law, subpoena or government agency. This provision shall not be interpreted to require or encourage the Company or the Covered Individuals to make any misrepresentations. If the Covered Individuals disparage You to a third party, the Company will not seek to enforce the non-disparagement or non-disclosure provisions of this Agreement or seek damages against You or any other party to this Agreement for violating those provisions, but all other remaining terms of this Agreement remain enforceable. The Company shall provide only dates of employment and positions held in response to any inquiry from a prospective employer.

11.Confidentiality. You will not, directly or indirectly, disclose the terms of this Agreement to anyone other than Your immediate family members, religious advisor, medical or mental health provider, mental or behavioral health therapeutic support group, legal counsel, financial advisor, or tax preparer; to any local, state, or federal government agency for any reason, including disclosing the existence and terms of this Agreement, without first notifying the Company; in response to a legal process, such as a subpoena to testify at a deposition or in a court, including disclosing the existence and terms of this Agreement, without first notifying the Company; and for all other purposes as required by law. This Agreement, including, but not limited to Sections 9, 10 and 11, does not restrain You from disclosing the underlying facts of any alleged discriminatory or unfair employment practice, (a) including disclosing the existence and terms of this Agreement to Your immediate family members, religious advisor, medical or mental health provider, mental or behavioral health therapeutic support group, legal counsel, financial advisor, or tax preparer; (b) to any local, state, or federal government agency for any reason, including disclosing the existence and terms of this Agreement, without first notifying the Company; (c) in response to a legal process, such as a subpoena to testify at a deposition or in a court, including disclosing the existence and terms of this Agreement, without first notifying the Company; and (d) for all other purposes as required by law. The Company agrees that this Section 11 applies equally to all parties. You shall be entitled to provide a copy of the restrictive covenants contained herein to which you are bound to any prospective employer.

12.Compliance with C.R.S. § 24-34-407(b). At the same time that this Agreement is signed, You and the Company will sign the addendum attached hereto as Attachment B attesting

13.Binding. This Agreement are binding on the parties and their heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors, and assigns.

14.Protected Rights.

(a)You understand that nothing in this Agreement is intended to or does limit Your ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safe and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, or any other federal, state, or local governmental agency or commission (each a “Government Agency” and collectively, the “Government Agencies”), subject to Employee’s waiver of any economic or injunctive relief from the Company for Employee as a result of such charge or complaint. You further understand that this Agreement does not limit Your ability to communicate with Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information. This Agreement does not limit Your right to receive an award from any Government Agency for information provided to a Government Agency.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, You shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (i) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Accordingly, You have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to a federal, state, or local government official, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation and the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding but only if the filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. §1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. §1833(b).

15.Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the rules thereunder (“Section 409A”) or an exemption under Section 409A and shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes (or could constitute) nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Employee, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any tax year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other tax year. To the extent that the Compensation Committee of

Joseph D. Fisher

Page 11

the Company determines that this Agreement or the consideration provided hereunder may not be exempt from Section 409A, then, if Employee is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Compensation Committee, at a time when Employee becomes eligible for payment upon Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payment will be delayed until the earlier of: (a) the date that is six months following Employee’s separation from service and (b) Employee’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from or compliant with Section 409A and in no event shall Employer be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

16.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such determination will not affect any other provision of this Agreement, except that if the release set forth in this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the Company shall have no obligation to pay the Severance Consideration and, if already paid, You agree to repay the Severance Consideration to the Company.

17.Entire Agreement. This Agreement and attachments contain the entire agreement between You and the Company and is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of the agreement with regard to Your separation. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it may not be modified except in writing signed by You and an officer of the Company.

18.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in separate counterparts. All such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

19.Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Colorado, as applied to contracts made and performed entirely within the State of Colorado. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
