Employment Agreement with Mr. McKinstray

On December 1, 2025, in connection with his appointment as Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Mr. McKinstray. Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. McKinstray is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $600,000 and an annual cash bonus, with a target and maximum annual bonus opportunity (prorated for the Company’s 2026 fiscal year) equal to 125% and 250% of annual base salary, with the actual annual bonus amount, if any, based on the achievement of certain performance objectives set by the Board. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. McKinstray will be eligible to participate in the Company’s long-term incentive plan (the “Plan”) with, beginning at the start of the Company’s 2027 fiscal year, an annual target long-term incentive award equal to 225% of annual base salary, with the actual amount, if any, determined by the Board based on Mr. McKinstray’s performance against certain performance objectives set by the Board. The Employment Agreement also provides that, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, and subject to the terms of the Plan and the grant agreement, Mr. McKinstray will be granted a one-time sign-on award of restricted stock units having an aggregate value on the Effective Date of $650,000. The Employment Agreement provides for certain severance payments and other benefits if Mr. McKinstray’s employment with the Company is terminated other than for “cause” or if Mr. McKinstray resigns his employment for “good reason” (as both such terms are defined therein). In each such case, subject to the timely execution and non-revocation of a separation agreement containing a customary release of claims and reaffirming continued compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in the Employment Agreement, Mr. McKinstray would be entitled to receive base salary and annual bonus (at target) at the rate in effect on the termination date for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination date, contributions to the premium cost of Mr. McKinstray’s continued participation in the Company’s group medical and dental plans, subject to any applicable employee contribution, for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination date, and the prorated amount of any annual bonus awarded in the current year but unpaid on the termination date, with such bonus payable at the same time as bonuses are paid to Company executives generally.

The Employment Agreement contains customary provisions regarding the reimbursement of business and travel expenses, an officers indemnification agreement, protection of confidential information, assignment of intellectual property and non-disparagement, as well as certain restrictive covenants regarding non-competition, non-solicitation of customers and non-solicitation of employees that apply during Mr. McKinstray’s term of employment and for a period of eighteen (18) months after termination of his employment for whatever reason.
