Number of RSUs:

5 million

In the event of a corporate event or transaction involving the Company, the number of RSUs subject to this Award shall be adjusted pursuant to Article 14 of the Plan.

Vesting:

The RSUs awarded as set forth above will vest in five equal installments on each of December 31, 2026; December 31, 2027; December 31, 2028; December 31, 2029; and December 31, 2030 (each, a “Vesting Date”), in each case, except as otherwise provided by either this Award Agreement or the Executive Chairman and CEO Agreement, by and between the Company and the Grantee, dated February 23, 2026 (the “Employment Agreement”), subject to Grantee’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable Vesting Date.

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, in the event of the Grantee’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause or voluntarily by the Grantee for Good Reason, or the termination of the Grantee’s employment due to the death, Disability or Retirement of the Grantee, in each case, during the Scheduled Term, any unvested RSUs on the date of the termination of the Grantee’s employment will immediately vest as of such date.

Pursuant to Section 16.4 of the Plan, the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any amount deliverable under the RSUs or otherwise (including Shares otherwise deliverable), or require the Grantee to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the RSUs.

Subject to the Company’s automatic withholding right set out above, the Grantee may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part:

(ii) through an independent broker-dealer arrangement to sell a sufficient number of Shares;

in each case, having a fair market value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum tax required to be withheld.

The RSUs will not in any manner be subject to alteration, anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance.
