NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Board Composition and Related Matters.

(a) Board Matters.

(i) Promptly following the Effective Date, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, and with sufficient time for the Company to list the New Directors (as defined below) in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for the 2026 Annual Meeting, the Board and its committees shall take all necessary actions to (A) expand the size of the Board from six (6) to eight (8) members and (B) appoint two (2) independent directors (the “New Directors”), as identified by the Donerail Parties and subject to Sections 1(a)(iv) and 1(a)(v), to the Board with initial terms expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting.

(ii) The Company agrees that the Board shall nominate only the Continuing Directors and the New Directors (together, the “Incumbent Board”) for election to the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting. The Company will include the members of the Incumbent Board in the Company’s slate of recommended nominees standing for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting and to the extent that such members of the Incumbent Board are able and willing to serve on the Board will recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of each member of the Incumbent Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting in the same manner as for the other members of the Incumbent Board.


(iii) At any time from the 2026 Annual Meeting until the Termination Date, upon the request of the Donerail Parties, the Board and its Committees shall take all necessary action to (A) expand the size of the Board from six (6) to seven (7) members, and (B) appoint one additional independent director (the “Additional Director”) as identified by the Donerail Parties and subject to Sections (1)(a)(iv) and 1(a)(v) to the Board with an initial term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting.

(iv) Each of the New Directors, the Additional Director and any Replacement Directors (as defined below) shall (A) satisfy the independence standard of Nasdaq, the requirements of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (as may be further amended from time to time, the “Charter”), the Bylaws of the Company, as amended (as may be further amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”) and other Company Policy (as defined below), and any applicable law, and (B) possess the relevant financial and business experience to be a director of the Company.

(v) As a condition to being appointed to the Board, each of the New Directors, the Additional Director and any Replacement Directors will have participated in reasonable customary procedures for new director candidates and received a favorable recommendation from the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”), such recommendation not to be unreasonably withheld. Such procedures include (A) providing information required to be or customarily disclosed by directors or director candidates in proxy statements or other filings under applicable law or stock exchange regulations, information in connection with assessing eligibility, independence, and other criteria applicable to directors or satisfying compliance and legal obligations, and a fully completed and executed copy of the Company’s director candidate questionnaire (substantially in the form completed by the Company’s incumbent non-management directors), in each case, as promptly as necessary to enable the timely filing of the Company’s proxy statement and other periodic reports with the SEC, (B) agreeing to comply at all times with the Company Policies, and (C) consenting to appropriate background checks comparable to those undergone by other non-management directors of the Company.

(vi) Each Party acknowledges that the New Directors, Additional Director and any Replacement Directors shall be governed by all of the same policies, processes, procedures, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to members of the Board (collectively, the “Company Policies”), and will be required to strictly adhere to the Company’s policies on confidentiality imposed on all members of the Board.

(vii) From (A) the date that is one (1) Business Day following the Effective Date until the 2026 Annual Meeting, the Board shall not increase the size of the Board to greater than eight (8) directors without the unanimous consent of the Continuing Directors, and (B) the 2026 Annual Meeting until the Termination Date (as defined below), the Board shall not increase the size of the Board to greater than seven (7) directors without the unanimous consent of all the members of the Board.

(viii) The Company agrees that at or prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Board and its committee shall take or have taken all necessary actions to appoint William Wyatt as Chairman of the Board.

(ix) The Board shall give each of the New Directors, the Additional Director and any Replacement Directors the same due consideration for membership to each of the Board’s other committees and subcommittees, including any new committees and subcommittees that may be established on or after the Effective Date, as any other director.

(b) Replacement Rights.

(i) From the Effective Date until the Termination Date, if Mr. Wyatt or any New Director or the Additional Director ceases to be a director for whatever reason (other than due to a violation of any applicable law or the Charter, Bylaws or other Company Policy), then the Donerail Parties may propose one or more candidates satisfying the criteria set forth in Sections 1(a)(iv) and 1(a)(v) and the Board shall select one of the candidates for appointment to the Board (such individual, a “Replacement Director”); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, solely in the case of a Replacement Director chosen to replace Mr. Wyatt, the candidates proposed by the Donerail Parties may, but do not have to, be affiliated with the Donerail Parties.

(ii) Any candidate for Replacement Director shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Nominating Committee and the Board, which approval shall occur as soon as practicable following the identification of the candidate and shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and such Replacement Director shall be appointed to the Board within five (5) Business Days after the Nominating Committee and the Board have approved of such candidate. In the event the Board or the Nominating Committee determines in good faith not to approve any Replacement Director proposed by the Donerail Parties, the Parties shall follow the same procedure set forth in this Section 1(b)(i) until a Replacement Director is appointed to the Board. Any Replacement Director appointed to replace a New Director or the Additional Director shall be treated as a New Director or the Additional Director, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) Any Replacement Director appointed to the Board in accordance with this Section 1(b) shall be appointed to any applicable committee of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s ceasing to serve on the Board; provided, that as a condition to such appointment, a Replacement Director shall possess the necessary qualifications to serve on the applicable committee of the Board.

(iv) This Section 1(b), including the Donerail Parties’ right to identify Replacement Directors, shall terminate irrevocably if the Donerail Parties cease to beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 2.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each time the Donerail Parties exercise their right to participate in the identification of Replacement Directors under this Section 1(b), they shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the Donerail Parties have beneficially owned since the Effective Date and beneficially own at that time, in the aggregate, at least 2.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

2. Voting Commitment. Until the Termination Date, the Donerail Parties shall, or shall cause their respective Representatives to (i) appear in person or by proxy at each Stockholder Meeting and (ii) vote, or deliver consents or consent revocations with respect to, all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Donerail Parties which the Donerail Parties have the right to vote as of the applicable record date for such Stockholder Meeting in accordance with the Board’s recommendations with respect to all proposals submitted to stockholders at such Stockholder Meeting other than proposals with respect to an Extraordinary Transaction, which the Donerail Parties may vote on in their sole discretion, in each case as the Board’s recommendation is set forth in the definitive proxy statement, consent solicitation statement, or revocation solicitation statement filed by the Company in respect of such Stockholder Meeting; provided, however, that in the event either Institutional Stockholder Services, Inc. (“ISS”) or Glass Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”), or any successor thereto, publishes a voting recommendation that differs from the Board’s recommendation with respect to any proposal (other than proposals related to director elections, removals or replacements) submitted to stockholders at any Stockholder Meeting, the Donerail Parties will be permitted to vote, or deliver consents or consent revocations with respect to, any shares beneficially owned by such Donerail Party in accordance with such ISS or Glass Lewis recommendation. Each Donerail Party shall take all actions necessary (including by calling back loaned out shares) to ensure that such Donerail Party has voting power for each share owned by it on the record date for each Stockholder Meeting, excluding any options or derivatives held by any Donerail Party as of any such record date.

6. Mutual Releases.

(a) Release by the Donerail Parties.

(i) As of the Effective Date, the Donerail Parties, and each of them, permanently, fully and completely release, acquit and discharge the Company, and the Company’s subsidiaries, joint ventures and partnerships, successors, assigns, officers, directors, partners, members, managers, principals, predecessor or successor entities, agents, employees, stockholders, auditors, advisors, consultants, attorneys, insurers, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of any such person (in each case, in their capacities as such) (collectively, the “Company Released Group”), jointly or severally, of and from any and all claims, demands, damages, causes of action, debts, liabilities, controversies, judgments, and suits of every kind and nature whatsoever, direct or derivative, foreseen, unforeseen, known or unknown, that the Donerail Parties or any of them have had, now have, or may have against any of the Company and/or the Company Released Group, collectively, jointly or severally, at any time prior to and including the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising out of or in any way whatsoever related to the Donerail Parties’ involvement with, or ownership of securities of, the Company (the “Donerail Release”); provided, however, that the Donerail Release shall be void if a court finds in a final, non-appealable order that the Company has materially breached this Agreement with such material breach not capable of being cured.

(ii) The Donerail Parties each acknowledge that as of the Effective Date, the Donerail Parties may have claims against the Company that a Donerail Party does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor, including, but not limited to claims that, had they been known, might have affected the decision to enter into this Agreement, or to provide the Donerail Release set forth in this Section 6(a). In connection with any such claims, the Donerail Parties agree that they intend to waive, relinquish, and release any and all provisions, rights, and benefits any state or territory of the United States or other jurisdiction that purports to limit the application of a release to unknown claims, or to facts unknown at the time the Donerail Release was entered into. Without limiting the foregoing, the Donerail Parties expressly waive any right or protection under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY. In connection with the foregoing waiver, the Donerail Parties acknowledge that they, or any of them, may (including after the Effective Date) discover facts in addition to or different from those known or believed by them to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Donerail Release set forth in this Section 6(a), but it is the intention of the Donerail Parties to complete, fully, finally, and forever compromise, settle, release, discharge, and extinguish any and all claims that they may have against the Company, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or absolute, accrued or unaccrued, apparent or unapparent, that now exist or previously existed, without regard to the subsequent discovery of additional or different facts. The Donerail Parties acknowledge that the foregoing waiver is a key, material, bargained-for element to this Agreement and the Donerail Release that is part of it.

(b) Release by the Company.

(i) As of the Effective Date, the Company permanently, fully and completely releases, acquits and discharges the Donerail Parties, and the Donerail Parties’ subsidiaries, joint ventures and partnerships, successors, assigns, officers, directors, partners, members, managers, principals, predecessor or successor entities, agents, employees, stockholders, auditors, advisors, consultants, attorneys, insurers, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of any such person (in each case, in their capacities as such) (collectively, the “Donerail Released Group”), jointly or severally, of and from any and all claims, demands, damages, causes of action, debts, liabilities, controversies, judgments, and suits of every kind and nature whatsoever, direct or derivative, foreseen, unforeseen, known or unknown, that the Company has had, now has, or may have against any of the Donerail Parties and/or the Donerail Released Group, collectively, jointly or severally, at any time prior to and including the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising out of or in any way whatsoever related to the Company’s involvement with the Donerail Parties (the “Company Release” and collectively with the Donerail Release, the “Releases”); provided, however, that the Company Release shall be void if a court finds in a final, non-appealable order that the Donerail Parties have materially breached this Agreement with such material breach not capable of being cured.

(ii) The Company acknowledges that as of the Effective Date, the Company may have claims against the Donerail Parties that the Company does not know or suspect to exist in its favor, including, but not limited to claims that, had they been known, might have affected the decision to enter into this Agreement, or to provide the Company Release set forth in this Section 6(b). In connection with any such claims, the Company agrees that it intends to waive, relinquish, and release any and all provisions, rights, and benefits any state or territory of the United States or other jurisdiction that purports to limit the application of a release to unknown claims, or to facts unknown at the time the Company Release was entered into. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company expressly waives any right or protection under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER ,WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY. In connection with the foregoing waiver, the Company acknowledges that it may (including after the Effective Date) discover facts in addition to or different from those known or believed by it to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Company Release set forth in this Section 6(b), but it is the intention of the Company to complete, fully, finally, and forever compromise, settle, release, discharge, and extinguish any and all claims that it may have against the Donerail Parties, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or absolute, accrued or unaccrued, apparent or unapparent, that now exist or previously existed, without regard to the subsequent discovery of additional or different facts. The Company acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is a key, material, bargained-for element to this Agreement and the Company Release that is part of it.

(c) Broad Releases. The Releases provided for in this Section 6 are intended to be broad, and this breadth is a bargained-for feature of this Agreement. Despite this, the Releases provided for in this Section 6 are not intended to, and do not, extend to any Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

7. Public Statements; SEC Filings.

(a) Within four (4) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K setting forth a brief description of the terms of this Agreement and appending this Agreement as an exhibit thereto (the “Form 8-K”). The Company shall provide the Donerail Parties and their Representatives with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Form 8-K prior to it being filed with the SEC and consider in good faith any comments of the Donerail Parties and their Representatives.

(b) Except for the filing of the Form 8-K, no Party shall issue any press release or other public statement (including in any filing required under the Exchange Act) about the subject matter of this Agreement or the other Party, except as required by law, Legal Requirement or applicable stock exchange listing rules or with the prior written consent of the other Party and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.

8. Affiliates and Associates. Each Party shall instruct its Affiliates and Associates to comply with the terms of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any such Affiliate or Associate. A breach of this Agreement by an Affiliate or Associate of a Party, if such Affiliate or Associate is not a Party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to occur if such Affiliate or Associate engages in conduct that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if such Affiliate or Associate was a Party to this Agreement.
