Job Duties; Location. (a) Job Duties.

During your employment, you promise to devote your full business time and efforts to the performance of your job duties. You shall report directly to Xxx Xxxx, Chief Executive Officer, whose contact email address is xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx , or any other person the Company may designate from time to time.

Additionally, in the event of such relocation, you hereby consent to, and the Company shall be permitted to, in its discretion, modify and amend this Agreement in order to comply with applicable state and local laws. 2. Compensation. (a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay you a base salary at a rate of four hundred fifty thousand dollars ($450,000) per year, less all required withholdings and deductions, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll policies (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be subject to review and adjustment from time to time depending upon your job performance and the Company’s overall performance. (b) Annual Bonus. You may be eligible to receive an annual discretionary performance-related cash incentive bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) of up to one hundred percent (100%) of your Base Salary which will be prorated for the portion of the year that you work in 2023. Eligibility for and the payment of the Annual Bonus is completely within the Company’s sole and absolute discretion and may generally be based on a variety of factors and circumstances, including successful achievement of KPI’s in the IDEX 2023 Annual Operating Plan. We expect to have finalized and communicated these KPI’s within 30 days of the signing of this agreement. You must be employed on the date of payment in order to earn and be paid any Annual Bonus. The Company anticipates that any Annual Bonus, if issued, will generally be paid within sixty (60) days from the end of the applicable bonus year, and in no event later than March 15 of the year following the bonus year. However, this is a mere guideline and not a promise. Annual Bonuses paid in prior years, if any, should not be used to determine whether future Annual Bonuses will be paid or the amounts thereof. All Annual Bonuses paid pursuant to this Section shall be less all required withholdings and deductions. (c) Equity Compensation.

Exhibit A ARBITRATION AGREEMENT Please Read Carefully – By Signing This Document You Give Up Certain Legal Rights I (the “Company”) and the undersigned employee (“Employee”) have entered into this Arbitration Agreement (“Agreement”) in order to establish and gain the benefits of a timely, impartial, and cost-effective dispute resolution procedure. Employee understands that any reference in this Agreement to the Company will also be a reference to any and all benefit plans, the benefit plans’ sponsors, fiduciaries, administrators, affiliates, and all successors and assigns of any of them. 1. Claims Covered by the Agreement: The Company and Employee mutually consent to the resolution by final and binding arbitration of all claims or controversies (“claims”) arising out of Employee’s employment (or termination) that the Company may have against Employee or that Employee may have against the Company or its officers, directors, employees, or agents. Final and binding arbitration shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy and forum for all such claims. The claims covered by this Agreement include, but are not limited to: (i) claims for discrimination or harassment on the basis of ancestry, age, color, marital status, medical condition, physical or mental disability, national origin, race, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law; (ii) claims for retaliation; (iii) claims for breach of any contract or covenant (express or implied); (iv) claims for wages or other compensation due; (v) claims for benefits (except where an employee benefit or pension plan specifies that its claim procedure shall culminate in a resolution procedure different from this one); (vi) claims for violation of any federal, state, or other governmental law, statute, regulation or ordinance now in existence, or hereinafter enacted, and amended from time to time; and (vii) any tort claims (including, but not limited to, negligent or intentional injury, defamation, and termination of employment in violation of public policy). 2. Waiver of Right to Trial: The Company and Employee agree to give up their respective rights to have the above-mentioned claims decided in a court of law before a judge or jury or by administrative proceeding, and instead are accepting and agreeing to the use of final and binding arbitration. The sole exception to the foregoing is a hearing before the California Labor Commissioner on a claim for unpaid wages; however, any subsequent proceeding resulting from such a hearing that would otherwise be heard in a court of law, including any challenge or appeal of a decision rendered in such hearing, is subject to this Agreement and must be arbitrated. 3. No Participation in Class Action: All claims, disputes, or causes of action under this Agreement, whether by the Company or Employee, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with any claims of any other person or entity. This provision shall not apply to an action or claim brought pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004. 4. Claims Not Covered by the Agreement: This Agreement does not cover: (i) claims by Employee for workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance (an exclusive government-created remedy exists for these claims); (ii) claims by employee for unpaid compensation or benefits within the jurisdiction of the California Department of Labor Standards Enforcement; and (iii) claims which even in the absence of the Agreement could not have been litigated in court or before any administrative proceeding under applicable federal, state or local law. Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from filing a charge or complaint with any state or federal administrative agency that prosecutes a claim on behalf of the government, for purposes of assisting or cooperating with such agency in its investigation or prosecution of charges or complaints. However, the parties waive their right to any remedy or relief as a result of such charges or complaints brought by such prosecuting agencies, to the extent that is permissible under law. 5. Notice of Claims and Statute of Limitations: All disputes between Employee and the Company (and its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating to Employee’s services with the Company, the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, or this Agreement, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the arbitration provisions are to apply to the resolution of disputes that otherwise would be resolved in a court of law. All disputes must be brought within the applicable statute of limitations established by law and all claims must be sent via registered or certified mail, and shall identify and describe the nature of all claims asserted and the facts upon which such claims are based. Claims set DocuSign Envelope ID: BD93A7C5-3A1E-4990-9461-9C838A84EBA0

forth in any applicable notice or complaint initiating arbitration or that is later asserted during the arbitration process. Failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 5 may constitute a waiver of all rights that the party seeking arbitration may have against the other party. 6. Arbitration Procedures: The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the then-existing JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures, as amended, (“JAMS Employment Rules”) and as augmented in this Agreement. Arbitration will be initiated as provided by the JAMS Employment Rules. JAMS Employment Rules can be found at xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx, or by calling JAMS at 000-000-0000. Either Party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Otherwise, neither Party will initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or administrative action in any way related to any applicable dispute or claim, except as set forth in this Agreement. All disputes or claims subject to arbitration will be decided by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will be selected by mutual agreement of the Parties within 30 days of the effective date of the notice initiating the arbitration. If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the complaining Party will notify JAMS and request selection of an arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Employment Rules or other applicable JAMS rules. The arbitrator will only have authority to award equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees as a court would have for the particular claims asserted, and any action of the arbitrator in contravention of this limitation may be the subject of court appeal by the aggrieved Party. All other aspects of the arbitrator’s ruling will be final. 7. Arbitration Decision: Within thirty (30) days of the close of the arbitration hearing, or at such other time as determined by the arbitrator, any Party will have the right to prepare, serve on the other Party, and file with the Arbitrator a brief. The Arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing, stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may be permitted or required by law, all proceedings and all documents prepared in connection with any arbitration will be confidential and the arbitration subject matter will not be disclosed to any person other than the Parties to the proceedings, their counsel, witnesses and experts, the arbitrator, and, if involved, the court and court staff. All documents filed with the arbitrator or with a court, to the maximum extent allowed by law, will be filed under seal. The Parties will stipulate to all arbitration and court orders necessary to effectuate these confidentiality provisions. A court of competent jurisdiction will have the authority to enter a judgment upon the award made pursuant to the arbitration or applicable arbitration appeal. 8. Place of Arbitration: All arbitration proceedings will be conducted at a JAMS office located nearest to the Company office where Employee regularly reported to work. 9. Representation / Attorneys’ Fees: Each party may be represented in the arbitration by an attorney or other representative selected by the party. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ or representatives’ fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party in accordance with applicable law. 10. Discovery and Information Exchange: At least thirty (30) days before the arbitration, the parties shall exchange lists of witnesses, including any experts, as well as copies of all exhibits intended to be used at the hearing. The arbitrator shall have discretion to order earlier and additional pre-hearing exchange of information. The parties may engage in any method of discovery as outlined in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (exclusive of Rule 26(a)). Such discovery includes discovery sufficient to arbitrate adequately a claim, including access to essential and relevant documents and witnesses. Discovery disputes are subject to the Federal Rules of Evidence and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 11. Subpoenas: Each party shall have the right to subpoena witnesses and documents for the arbitration. 12. Injunctive Relief: The provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §1281.8 regarding injunctive relief and other provisional remedies shall apply to any dispute between the parties covered by this agreement. 13. Arbitrator Fees and Costs: The Company will bear the cost of the arbitrator and the arbitration proceeding. 14. Federal Arbitration Act. This Agreement is made under the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Section 1-14) and will be construed and governed accordingly. Questions of arbitrability (that is whether an issue is subject to arbitration under this Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator. Likewise, DocuSign Envelope ID: BD93A7C5-3A1E-4990-9461-9C838A84EBA0

procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator to decide. 15. Consideration: The Company’s offer of employment to Employee, and the mutual promises of the Company and Employee to arbitrate claims covered by this Agreement rather than to litigate them in civil court, provide good and sufficient consideration for each other. 16. Construction: Should any part of this Agreement be found to be unenforceable, such portion shall be severed from the Agreement, and the remaining portions shall continue to be enforceable. 17. Sole and Entire Agreement: This Agreement expresses the entire Agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and there are no other agreements, oral or written, concerning arbitration, except as provided herein. This Agreement is not and shall not be construed to create any contract of employment, express or implied. 18. Requirements for Modification or Revocation: This Agreement to arbitrate shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment. It can only be revoked or modified by a writing signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Employee, which specifically states an intent to revoke or modify this Agreement. 19. Feedback. The Company desires this Agreement to be as clear and as straightforward as possible given the important subject matter. If you have any questions about this Agreement or have any suggestions on how the Company can modify it to improve your or your colleagues’ understanding of its terms, please feel free to contact your supervisor or any manager or owner at any time. You are afforded the opportunity to request changes to this Agreement before you sign it. Please bring any such requested changes to the attention of the Company before you sign it. If you sign this Agreement without such requested modifications, you are verifying that no such changes have been requested.
