(ii)Participant’s repeated willful failure to follow the lawful directives of the Board that are not inconsistent with his position as Chief Executive Officer or, if applicable, as Executive Chairman of the Board (other than as a result of death or physical or mental incapacity), in either case, which causes the Company or its Subsidiaries material harm;

ARTICLE II.
VESTING, FORFEITURE AND ESCROW

II.1General Vesting. The Restricted Shares will be earned and vest in connection with the achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA Goals or Price Per Share Goal, as applicable, as defined in and as set forth in Exhibit B, subject to Participant’s continued Service through the applicable Vesting Date(s) (as defined in Exhibit B), except to the extent provided in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 below. Any Restricted Shares that are not Vested Shares (as defined in Exhibit B) are referred to herein as “Unvested Shares”.

II.2Change in Control. If (i) a Change in Control occurs, (ii) Participant remains in continued Service until at least immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (iii) the Restricted Shares remain Unvested Shares as of immediately prior to such Change in Control, then:

(a)Any then-unvested Earned Restricted Shares (as defined in Exhibit B) will vest immediately prior to the closing of such Change in Control and become Vested Shares.

(b)With respect to any Restricted Shares that are not Earned Restricted Shares, regardless of whether the Change in Control occurs during the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period or the PPS Performance Period (each, as defined in Exhibit B), a number of Restricted Shares equal to the difference between 1,037,728 and the number of Earned Restricted Shares that vest in accordance with Section 2.2(a) (if any), shall become Earned Restricted Shares as of immediately prior to the closing of such Change in Control if the Price Per Share Goal is first achieved based on the CIC Price (or, with respect to a Non-Transactional Change in Control, if the Price Per Share Goal is achieved as of the Change in Control date). Any Restricted Shares that become Earned Restricted Shares in accordance with this Section 2.2(b) will vest and become Vested Shares immediately prior to the closing of such Change in Control. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, (i) in the event that the Price Per Share Goal was achieved prior to the Change in Control, no additional Restricted Shares shall become Earned Restricted Shares pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.2(b) with respect to the Price Per Share Goal and (ii) the Outperformance Shares (as defined in Exhibit B) are not eligible to become Earned Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 2.2(b).

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.3 of the Plan, if, following the application of Section 2.2(b), any Restricted Shares have not become Earned Restricted

Shares as of (or in connection with) the Change in Control, then such Restricted Shares automatically will be forfeited and terminated as of immediately prior to such Change in Control without consideration therefor.

II.3Termination of Service.

(a)If Participant experiences a Qualifying Termination, then (i) any Restricted Shares that are Earned Restricted Shares as of the date of such Qualifying Termination will vest and become Vested Shares as of such termination date and (ii) any Restricted Shares that are not Earned Restricted Shares as of such Qualifying Termination will be forfeited and terminated without consideration therefor. For clarity, if the Qualifying Termination occurs following the end of the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period (as defined in Exhibit B) but prior to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period, the Restricted Shares shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest and become Vested Shares upon the filing of such Annual Report on Form 10-K to the extent an Adjusted EBITDA Goal is achieved.

(b)The treatment set forth in Section 2.3(a)(i) is subject to and conditioned upon Participant’s (or Participant’s estate’s) timely execution, delivery and non-revocation of a general release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Release”) and continued compliance with the Restrictive Covenants (as defined below) through the effective date of the Release. The Release shall be delivered to Participant (or Participant’s estate’s) within five business days following the termination date, and Participant shall have 21 days thereafter (or 45 days, if necessary to comply with Applicable Law) to execute and deliver the Release to the Company. The Company may update the Release attached hereto to the extent necessary to reflect changes in law.

(c)If Participant experiences a termination of Service for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination, all Restricted Shares that have not become Vested Shares on or prior to the date of such termination of Service (including any Earned Restricted Shares) automatically will be forfeited and terminated as of the termination date without consideration therefor.

II.4Forfeiture.

(a)Any Restricted Shares that remain outstanding and are not Earned Restricted Shares as of the close of business on the Expiration Date automatically will be forfeited and terminated at the close of business on the Expiration Date without consideration therefor.

(b)Upon Participant’s material breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants, any Unvested Shares that remain outstanding as of the date of such breach (if any) automatically will be forfeited and terminated as of the date that such breach is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

II.5Escrow.

(a)Unvested Shares will be held by the Company or its authorized representatives until (i) they are forfeited, (ii) they become Vested Shares or (iii) this Agreement is no longer in effect. By accepting this Award (as defined below), Participant appoints the Company and its authorized representatives as Participant’s attorney(s)-in-fact to take all actions necessary to effect any transfer of forfeited Unvested Shares (and Retained Distributions (as defined below)) to the Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such representations or other documents or assurances as the Company or such representatives reasonably deem necessary or advisable in connection

with any such transfer. The Company, or its authorized representative, will not be liable for any good faith act or omission with respect to the holding in escrow or transfer of the Restricted Shares.

(b)As soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which an Unvested Share becomes a Vested Share, the Company will cause a new certificate without the legend required by this Agreement representing the Share to be delivered to Participant or, if the Share is held in book-entry form, cause the notations indicating the Share is subject to the restrictions of this Agreement to be removed.

II.6Rights as Stockholder; Dividends. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, upon issuance of the Restricted Shares by the Company, Participant will have all other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such Restricted Shares and to receive dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, all cash dividends and other distributions made or declared with respect to Unvested Shares (“Retained Distributions”) will be held by the Company until the time (if ever) when the Unvested Shares to which such Retained Distributions relate become Vested Shares. The Company will establish a separate Retained Distribution bookkeeping account (“Retained Distribution Account”) for each Unvested Share with respect to which Retained Distributions have been made or declared in cash and credit the Retained Distribution Account (without interest) on the date of payment with the amount of such cash made or declared with respect to the Unvested Share. Retained Distributions (including any Retained Distribution Account balance) with respect to a Share will be paid to Participant on the date (if ever) that such Share becomes a Vested Share. Retained Distributions (including any Retained Distribution Account balance) relating to Unvested Shares will immediately and automatically be forfeited upon forfeiture of the Unvested Share with respect to which the Retained Distributions were paid or declared.

ARTICLE III.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING

III.1Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this award of Restricted Shares (the “Award”) and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

III.2Section 83(b) Election. Participant shall make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to 1,660,365 Restricted Shares (622,637 of which shall constitute Outperformance Shares), and Participant shall deliver a copy of the election to the Company promptly after filing the election with the Internal Revenue Service.

III.3Tax Withholding.

(a)Payment of the withholding tax obligations with respect to this Award shall be by cash or check, or a combination thereof.

(b)Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Restricted Shares, regardless of any action the Company or any affiliate takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Restricted Shares. Neither the Company nor any affiliate makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the Restricted

Shares or the subsequent sale of the Restricted Shares. The Company and its affiliates do not commit and are under no obligation to structure this Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.

ARTICLE IV.
RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS AND TRANSFERABILITY

IV.1Legends. Any certificate representing a Restricted Share will bear the following legend until the Restricted Share becomes a Vested Share:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

IV.2Transferability.

(a)General. The Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions are subject to the restrictions on transfer in the Plan. Any attempted transfer or disposition of Unvested Shares or related Retained Distributions prior to the time the Unvested Shares become Vested Shares will be null and void. The Company will not be required to (i) transfer on its books any Restricted Share that has been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of this Agreement or (ii) treat as owner of such Restricted Share or accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Restricted Share has been so transferred. The Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, or make appropriate notations to the same effect in its records.

(b)In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Participant shall not, without the consent of the Administrator (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) any Shares issued under this Agreement prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the applicable Vesting Date (the “Post-Vesting Transfer Restrictions”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Post-Vesting Transfer Restrictions shall not apply to (i) any Transfer of Shares to the Company, (ii) any Transfer following Participant’s termination of Service due to death or Disability, including without limitation by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, (iii) subject to the consent of the Administrator (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), any Transfer of the Shares to an estate planning vehicle of Participant or (iv) any Transfer upon the occurrence of or following a Change in Control (or such earlier time as is necessary in order for Participant to participate in such Change in Control transaction with respect to the Shares and receive the consideration payable with respect thereto in connection with such Change in Control). If any Shares are Transferred to an estate planning vehicle of Participant in accordance with the foregoing sentence, then the Shares shall continue to be subject to all terms and conditions set forth herein (including with respect to the Post-Vesting Transfer Restrictions) and Participant and the transferee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Administrator to (x) confirm the status of the transferee as an estate planning vehicle of Participant, (y) satisfy any requirements for the Transfer under Applicable Law and (z) evidence such Transfer.

V.2Clawback. Notwithstanding Section 10.13 of the Plan, the Award and the Restricted Shares shall be subject to (a) any Company clawback or recoupment policy required in order to comply with Applicable Law, including the Company’s Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, as amended from time to time, and (b) any other Company clawback or recoupment policy approved by the Company’s Board which applies to the senior executives of the Company. The Company and Participant acknowledge that neither this Section 5.2 nor Section 10.13 of the Plan are intended to limit any clawback and/or disgorgement of the Award and/or the Shares issuable hereunder pursuant to Section 304 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002.

V.7Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.

Exhibit B

EARNED RESTRICTED SHARES; VESTING SCHEDULE

Earned Restricted Shares

Adjusted EBITDA Goals

Subject to Sections 2.2 through 2.4 of the Agreement, the Restricted Shares set forth below will become “Earned Restricted Shares” based on the achievement of the applicable Adjusted EBITDA Goal in the table below during the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period.


Vesting Tranche	Adjusted EBITDA Goal	Adjusted EBITDA	Number of Earned Restricted Shares
“EBITDA Vesting Tranche”	“Threshold Adjusted EBITDA Goal”	$[***]	778,296
	“Target Adjusted EBITDA Goal”	$[*] - $[*]	1,037,728
	“Maximum Adjusted EBITDA Goal”	≥ $[***]	2,075,456

If the Company achieves an Adjusted EBITDA during the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period that is less than the Threshold Adjusted EBITDA Goal, then (i) no Restricted Shares shall become Earned Restricted Shares as a result of reaching any Adjusted EBITDA Goal, (ii) 1,037,728 of the Restricted Shares instead shall be eligible to become Earned Restricted Shares based on the achievement of the Price Per Share Goal during the PPS Performance Period, as described below (the “PPS Restricted Shares”) and (iii) the remaining 1,037,728 of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and terminated without consideration as of December 31, 2024.

If the Company achieves an Adjusted EBITDA during the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period greater than $[***] and less than $[***], then (i) the number of Restricted Shares that become Earned Restricted Shares shall be determined using straight line linear interpolation between the Threshold Adjusted EBITDA Goal and the Target Adjusted EBITDA Goal, (ii) the number of Restricted Shares representing the excess of (x) 1,037,728 over (y) the number of Restricted Shares that become Earned Restricted Shares in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall instead become “PPS Restricted Shares” (and shall be eligible to become Earned Restricted Shares based on the achievement of the Price Per Share Goal during the PPS Performance Period, as described below) and (iii) the remaining Restricted Shares which do not become Earned Restricted Shares (in accordance with clause (i) above) or PPS Restricted Shares (in accordance with clause (ii) above) shall be forfeited and terminated without consideration as of December 31, 2024.

Price Per Share Goal

B-<#>

Exhibit B

Subject to Sections 2.2 through 2.4 of the Agreement, the PPS Restricted Shares will become “Earned Restricted Shares” based on the achievement of the Price Per Share Goal set forth in the table below during the PPS Performance Period, subject to certification by the Administrator that the Price Per Share Goal has been achieved (provided that no such certification shall be required in the event the Price Per Share Goal is achieved as a result of the occurrence of a Change in Control). Except in connection with a Qualifying Termination or a Change in Control, the PPS Restricted Shares will become Earned Restricted Shares based on the achievement of the Price Per Share Goal during the PPS Performance Period.


Vesting Tranche	Price Per Share Goal	Number of Earned Restricted Shares
“Price Per Share Vesting Tranche”	$18.00	The PPS Restricted Shares

For the avoidance of doubt, the Price Per Share Goal may be achieved only once during the PPS Performance Period. For example, if the Price Per Share Goal is determined by the Administrator to have been satisfied on January 1, 2026, the Price Per Share thereafter drops below such level and again reaches $18.00 per share during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending September 30, 2026, no additional PPS Restricted Shares shall become Earned Restricted Shares as a result of reaching the same Price Per Share Goal for a second time.

Vesting of Earned Restricted Shares

Subject to Sections 2.2 through 2.4 of the Agreement, with respect to any Restricted Shares that become Earned Restricted Shares, such Earned Restricted Shares shall vest and become “Vested Shares” on the applicable “Vesting Date” set forth in the table below based on such Earned Restricted Shares’ Vesting Tranche.


Earned Restricted Shares’ Vesting Tranche			Vesting Date
EBITDA Vesting Tranche			100% on March 31, 2025
Price Per Share Vesting Tranche			100% on the later of March 31, 2025 or the date on which the Price Per Share Goal is achieved

In no event may more than 2,075,456 Restricted Shares vest pursuant to this Award following the Grant Date.

Definitions

“Adjusted EBITDA” means Adjusted EBITDA as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period.

“Adjusted EBITDA Goals” means each of the Threshold Adjusted EBITDA Goal, Target Adjusted EBITDA Goal and Maximum Adjusted EBITDA Goal, as set forth in the table above, measured over the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period.

B-1

Exhibit B

“Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period” means the period beginning on (and including) January 1, 2024 and ending on (and including) December 31, 2024.

“CIC Price” means the price per share of Common Stock (or, in connection with a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the implied price per share of Common Stock) paid by an acquiror in connection with such Change in Control or, to the extent that the consideration in the Change in Control transaction is paid in stock of the acquiror or its affiliate, then, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the CIC Price shall mean the value of the consideration paid per Share based on the average of the closing trading prices of a share of such acquiror stock on the principal exchange on which such shares are then traded for each trading day during the five consecutive trading days ending on and including the date on which a Change in Control occurs. In the event the consideration in the Change in Control takes any other form, the value of such consideration shall be determined by the Administrator in its good faith reasonable discretion in a manner intended to not diminish the value of the Award to Participant.

“Outperformance Shares” means the (up to) 1,037,728 Restricted Shares that are eligible to become Earned Restricted Shares if the Company achieves an Adjusted EBITDA during the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Period greater than $[***].

“PPS Performance Period” means the period beginning on (and including) January 1, 2025 and ending on (and including) the Expiration Date.

“Price Per Share” means the Fair Market Value per Share.

“Price Per Share Goal” means a target average Price Per Share as set forth in the table above measured over any 30 consecutive trading-day period; provided, however, that if a Change in Control occurs, then the Price Per Share Goals shall be evaluated solely by reference to the CIC Price (other than in connection with a Change in Control that is solely a Non-Transactional Change in Control). For the avoidance of doubt, the Price Per Share does not need to be maintained over the 30 consecutive trading day period and achievement of the Price Per Share Goal shall be determined based on the average Price Per Share over a 30 consecutive trading-day period.

“Vesting Tranche” means each of the EBITDA Vesting Tranche and the Price Per Share Vesting Tranche.
