NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows:

1.Employment Period; Consulting Period. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company agrees to continue to employ JRP during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at the close of business on the Employment End Date and JRP agrees to be employed by Company and provide services for and on behalf of Company during such period on a full-time basis subject to and in accordance with this Agreement. The period from the Effective Date until the close of business on the Employment End Date shall be referred to as the “Employment Period.” Following expiration of the Employment Period, Company agrees to retain JRP or the Consulting Company during the Consulting Period (as defined below), and JRP agrees to be retained by Company and provide services for and on behalf of Company during the Consulting Period, either directly or indirectly through the Consulting Company, subject to and in accordance with this Agreement. JRP acknowledges that at all times during the Consulting Period she will be serving as an independent contractor and, except as provided in Section 3(d), she will not be entitled to any benefits provided to employees of Company. The period commencing on August 27, 2022 and ending on February 24, 2023 shall be referred to as the “Consulting Period.”

2.Duties.

(a)During the Employment Period. JRP agrees that, during the Employment Period, JRP will serve Company diligently and in good faith and will, subject to the exceptions below, devote her full business time, energies and talents to serving Company in a non-executive officer capacity, subject to and at the direction of Company’s Chairman (“Chairman”) and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). It is anticipated that during the Employment Period JRP will (a) continue to manage corporate communications and have such other duties and responsibilities that are commensurate with transitioning her roles and responsibilities under the Original Agreement to individuals designated by the CEO and as may be reasonably assigned to JRP from time to time by the Chairman or the CEO; (b) perform in good faith all lawful duties assigned to JRP, subject to the reasonable direction of the Chairman or the CEO, including, without limitation, assistance as directed with transitioning her current responsibilities to other Company employees; and (c) act in accordance with written Company policies as may be in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Employment Period, JRP may devote reasonable time to activities other than those required under this Agreement, including acting in an advisory and/or consultancy position for other entities and engaging in activities of a charitable, educational, religious or similar nature (including professional associations); provided such activities do not inhibit, prohibit, interfere with or breach any of JRP’s duties under this Agreement or common law, or otherwise conflict in any material way with the Company Business.

(b)During the Consulting Period. JRP agrees that, during the Consulting Period, JRP will serve Company as an advisory consultant to Company (either directly or, at JRP’s election, indirectly through the Consulting Company) in the activities requested by the Chairman or the CEO. JRP will perform such services under the general direction of Company’s officers. During the Consulting Period, JRP agrees to perform all duties to the best of her ability and to devote a sufficient percentage of her working time to the performance of duties hereunder for Company; provided, that JRP will be required to provide to Company no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services she performed during the Employment Period. JRP will not access any of Company’s files (electronic or otherwise) or remove any Company files (electronic or otherwise) or information from Company’s premises unless specifically authorized by an officer of Company. It is anticipated that during the Consulting Period JRP will perform in good faith all lawful consulting functions assigned to JRP by the Chairman or the CEO. JRP shall not be under the control of Company as to the time, place, manner or means by which the consulting services are provided. During the Consulting Period, JRP shall not have the status or any rights of being an employee of Company and shall not participate in or receive any employee benefits pursuant to plans, group insurance, programs or arrangement (including, but not limited to, those providing for salary, vacation, bonus or incentive compensation, retirement, disability, medical and dental) that Company provides or makes available to its employees, other than pursuant to COBRA. JRP shall provide Company with a properly completed IRS W-9 within one (1) week after the commencement of the Consulting Period. Company shall issue an IRS Form 1099 for its payments to JRP pursuant to Section 3(b). Because JRP is an independent contractor during the Consulting Period, JRP is solely responsible for all taxes, withholdings, and other similar statutory obligations for herself and agrees that she shall satisfy all such obligations.

3.Compensation and Benefits.

(a) During the Employment Period. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Employment Period, Company shall pay JRP, and JRP agrees to accept from Company, as compensation in full for her services to be performed as an employee during the Employment Period hereunder and for the faithful performance and observance of all of her obligations to Company hereunder, the following annual salary and other compensation during the Employment Period:

(i) Base Salary. Company shall pay to JRP a base salary in an amount equivalent to $400,000 per annum (the “Annual Base Salary”), payable in equal periodic installments less all customary payroll deductions (with such annual salary for any part of a month to be paid on a pro-rated basis), in accordance with customary policies and normal payroll practices of Company.

(ii) Benefits. During the Employment Period, JRP and JRP’s dependents, as the case may be, shall be eligible to participate in all Employee plans and programs as in effect from time to time thereof generally available to other Employees of Company and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, including a 401(k) Plan, medical and dental, and disability benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall be permitted to amend, add to or eliminate the benefit plans at any time and at Company’s sole discretion.

(iii) Expense Reimbursement. JRP shall be reimbursed by Company, on terms and conditions that are substantially similar to those that apply to other similarly situated Company employees, for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for entertainment, travel, meals, lodging and similar items which are actually incurred by JRP in connection with the Company Business, provided that JRP complies with the policies, practices and procedures of Company for incurring expenses and submitting expense reports, receipts, or similar documentation of any such expenses.

(b)During the Consulting Period. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Consulting Period, Company shall pay JRP or the Consulting Company a monthly fee equal to $33,333.33 for each month during the Consulting Period, which amount will be prorated for any partial month period. The aggregate fee shall be payable in two installments with: (i) the first installment being a payment in advance for the period commencing on August 27, 2022 and ending on November 4, 2022, which is due on August 29, 2022; and (ii) the second installment being a payment in arrears for the period commencing on November 5, 2022 and ending on the last day of the Consulting Period, which is due on February 27, 2023 (subject to applicable withholding, if applicable). In addition, during the Consulting Period, JRP shall be reimbursed by Company for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for travel, meals, lodging and similar items which are actually incurred by JRP in connection with the Company Business, provided that such expenses are approved by the CEO.

(c)Additional Consideration. In addition to the amounts set forth in Sections 3(a) and (b) above, 233,333 of JRP’s unvested and outstanding restricted stock units that were previously granted to JRP by Company (the “Surviving RSUs”) shall not terminate on the

Employment End Date and shall instead remain in effect (with the remaining unvested and outstanding restricted stock units terminating as of the Employment End Date) and provided the Customer Ship Date occurs on or before December 31, 2022, the Surviving RSUs will become vested on the later of (i) the Customer Ship Date and (ii) the date when the Release (as defined herein) has become effective and irrevocable by its terms. If the Customer Ship Date does not occur on or before December 31, 2022, the Surviving RSUs shall terminate on December 31, 2022. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 3(c), Company may terminate the Consulting Period and JRP shall forfeit all rights to vesting of the Surviving RSUs pursuant to this Section 3(c) unless she signs and delivers a general release and separation agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Release”) during the first week of the Consulting Period and the Release becomes effective and irrevocable by its terms.

(d)If (i) Company terminates JRP’s employment other than for Cause (including a termination on the scheduled Employment End Date), (ii) JRP timely elects coverage under COBRA and (iii) the Release has become effective and irrevocable by its terms, Company shall continue to provide to JRP and her dependents Company’s health-related employee insurance coverage for JRP and her dependents only as in effect immediately prior to JRP’s termination of employment by Company other than for Cause for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination date. The Company shall bear the first $15,000 of expense for such coverage and JRP shall bear any remaining expense for such coverage. The date of the “qualifying event” for Employee and any dependents shall be the termination date.

(e)409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement will be made upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

(f)Indemnification. Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless JRP from and against all costs and expenses, losses, liabilities, damages, demands, claims, suits, actions, judgments or causes of action, assessments, settlements, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, attorneys’ fees, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation (“Damages”), asserted against, resulting to, imposed on or incurred or suffered by JRP as a result of her provision of services to Company during the Consulting Period, except to the extent that the Damages arise from JRP’s bad faith, gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

(e)Remedies for Breach of Covenants. JRP acknowledges and expressly agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 5 are reasonable with respect to their duration, geographical area and scope. JRP further acknowledges that, in light of her position with Company and access to Confidential Information during the Employment Period, the restrictions contained in this Section 5 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of Company, that they create no undue hardships, that any violation of these restrictions would cause substantial injury to Company and such interests, and that such restrictions were a material inducement to Company to enter into this Agreement. In the event of any violation or threatened violation of these restrictions, Company, in addition to and not in limitation of, any other rights, remedies or damages available to Company under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, to prevent or restrain any such violation by JRP and any and all Persons directly or indirectly acting for or with her, as the case may be.
