The Company will also pay to Mr. Daggett an amount equal to $72,968.49, to cover the cost of health coverage for a period of 24 months. These payments are being made to comply with the terms of Mr. Daggett’s employment agreement. Mr. Daggett may revoke the Separation Agreement for a period of seven days after October 29, 2025, the date he executed the Separation Agreement. The Separation Agreement does not become effective or enforceable until the seven-day revocation period has ended.
