With the appointment of your successor effective as of the Resignation Date, you are eligible to resign from the Company for Good Reason as defined by and pursuant to the terms of your employment agreement with the Company (the “Employment Agreement”) and you have elected to resign from the Company for Good Reason on the Resignation Date. Note that terms not otherwise defined in this letter will have the meaning assigned to them in the Employment Agreement.

You are also resigning from the Board of Directors of the Company and as a director, manager or any other positions with the Company and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates on the Resignation Date. In addition, you agree to provide any additional documentation that may be reasonably requested by the Company to evidence your resignation from the board or similar governing body of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; provided, however, it is agreed and understood that such documentation must first be deemed mutually acceptable and agreeable to both you and the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company hereby:

Upon the Resignation Date, pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Employment Agreement, you will:

Execute a release agreement, which is included as Exhibit 1 to this letter and is in substantially the same form as the release included as part of the Employment Agreement.

Remain subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in §§ 13(c) and 13(d) of your Employment Agreement and which are incorporated by reference into this letter. For purposes of calculating the applicable Restricted Period, the Restricted Period will commence on the Resignation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed and understood that consequent upon your Good Reason resignation, the Restricted Period for which you are subject to the covenant of noncompetition provided in § 13(c)(iv) is eighteen (18) months from the Resignation Date.

Become entitled to receive the following severance benefits:

Your current base salary of $1,200,000 multiplied by two, $600,000 of which will be paid on December 1, 2023 and the remaining balance in equal installments over the eighteen-month period beginning on January 1, 2024 in accordance with the same payroll schedule in force immediately prior to the Resignation Date;

Your target bonus of $2,400,000 multiplied by two and paid as a single lump sum on the first day following the nine-month anniversary of the Resignation Date;

Your pro rata bonus for the 2023 year upon the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance targets, which would be paid in a single lump sum no later than two and one-half months after the end of the 2023 fiscal year; and

So long as you timely enroll in health insurance continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), a lump sum payment equal to 18 months of your COBRA premium amounts.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed and understood that the benefits herein constitute post-resignation severance benefits and not compensation for past services rendered.

With respect to certain equity awards you have received under the Company incentive plan and consistent with §§ 8(a) and (8)(d)(v)(1) of your Employment Agreement, the following treatment applies:

All unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units will fully vest on the Resignation Date.

All unvested stock options that would have vested by lapse of time within the following 24 month period will fully vest on the Resignation Date.

All unvested performance restricted stock, will fully vest (without proration) based on actual performance at the end of the full Performance Cycle, as if you continued employment through the end of such cycle and in a manner consistent with past Company practices.

All outstanding vested stock options (including those with accelerated vesting pursuant § 8(a)(viii) of your Employment Agreement) shall remain exercisable during the 90-day period following the Resignation Date.

Sincerely,

/s/ David Green

Senior Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
