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:

Board Composition and Related Matters.

(A) Board Matters.

(i) Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Board shall appoint Michael Burger (the “New Director”) as a Class II director serving a term expiring at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (including any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof, the “2026 Annual Meeting”) or at such time when the New Director’s successor is duly elected and qualified.

(ii) Prior to the Effective Date, the Board, upon a favorable recommendation from the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”), (A) determined that the New Director satisfied the independence standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), the requirements of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended and may be further amended, the “Charter”), the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (as may be amended, the “Bylaws”) and the Company’s other governance documents and policies, and any applicable law, (B) determined that the New Director is not a current or former employee, officer, director or partner or immediate family member of the Investor Parties or any of their Affiliates and (C) approved the qualifications of the New Director to serve on the Board. Such determination included the New Director (v) 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) (the “D&O Questionnaire”), (w) agreeing to comply at all times

with the Company Policies (as defined below) and (x) having consented to an appropriate background check.

(iii) Each Party acknowledges that the New Director 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 and insider trading imposed on all members of the Board.

(iv) The Company agrees that the New Director shall receive (A) the same benefits of director and officer insurance as all other non-management directors on the Board, (B) the same compensation for his or her service as a director as the compensation received by other non-management directors on the Board, and (C) such other benefits on the same basis as all other non-management directors on the Board; provided, however, that the Company cannot affect, influence or otherwise change, and shall not be responsible for, how any of the Investor Parties classifies or discloses its pecuniary interest in or beneficial ownership of any equity compensation paid to the New Director.

(B) Board Committees.

(i) Upon the appointment of the New Director to the Board, the New Director will be appointed to the Operations Committee of the Board.

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, the Board shall give the New Director the same due consideration for membership to each of the Board’s committees and subcommittees, including, but not limited to, any new committees and subcommittees that may be established on or after the Effective Date, as any other director.

Voting Commitment.

(A) Until the date this Agreement terminates (the “Termination Date”), the Investor Parties shall, or shall cause their respective Representatives to (i) appear in person or by proxy at each Stockholder Meeting, whether such meeting is held at a physical location or virtually by means of remote communications, and (ii) vote, or deliver consents or consent revocations with respect to, all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor Parties or their Affiliates in accordance with the Board’s recommendations with respect to any and all proposals, including, but not limited to, proposals related to director elections, removals or replacements, or the issuance of equity in connection with employee compensation, submitted to stockholders at such Stockholder Meeting; provided, however, that in the event either Institutional Stockholder Services, Inc. (“ISS”) or Glass, Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) 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 Investor Parties will be permitted to vote, or deliver consents or consent revocations with respect to, any shares beneficially owned by such Investor Party or its Affiliates in accordance with such ISS or Glass Lewis recommendation; provided, further, that the Investor Parties may vote in their discretion on any proposal involving an Extraordinary Transaction or the implementation of takeover defenses not in existence as of the Effective Date. Each Investor Party shall take all actions necessary (including, but not limited to, by calling back loaned out shares) to ensure that such Investor Party and its Affiliates has voting power for each share beneficially owned by it or its Affiliates on the record date for each Stockholder Meeting, excluding any options or derivatives held by any Investor Party or its Affiliates as of any such record date.

(B) Upon the Company’s written request, each Investor Party shall provide the Company with written confirmation and evidence of its compliance with this Section 2 no later than the later of (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the Stockholder Meeting or (ii) three (3) Business Days following such request.

3. Standstill. Until the Termination Date, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Board, the Investor Parties shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:

(A) acquire, offer or seek to acquire, agree to acquire, or acquire rights to acquire (except by way of equity grants received as directors of the Company, stock dividends or other distributions or offerings made available to holders of Voting Securities generally on a pro rata basis or pursuant to an Extraordinary Transaction), whether by purchase, tender or exchange offer, through the acquisition of control of another person, by joining a group, through swap or hedging transactions or otherwise, any securities of the Company (other than through a broad-based market basket or index), any rights decoupled from the underlying securities of the Company, that would result in the Investor Parties beneficially owning more than 10% of the then outstanding shares of Voting Securities;

(B) sell, assign, or otherwise transfer or dispose of shares of Common Stock, or any rights decoupled from such shares, beneficially owned by them, other than in open market sale transactions where the identity of the purchaser is not known and in underwritten widely dispersed public offerings to any Third Party that, to the Investor Parties’ knowledge (after due inquiry, it being understood that such knowledge shall be deemed to exist with respect to any publicly available information, including, but not limited to, information in documents filed with the SEC), would result in such Third Party, together with its Affiliates and Associates, as such term is defined under Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (“Associates”), owning, controlling or otherwise having any beneficial or other ownership interest of, in the aggregate, more than 4.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time or would increase the beneficial ownership interest of any Third Party who, collectively with its Affiliates and Associates, has a beneficial or other ownership interest of, in the aggregate, more than 4.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, except for Schedule 13G filers that are mutual funds, pension funds, index funds or investment fund managers with no known history of activism or known plans to engage in activism;
