WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ you, and you desire to continue to be employed by the Company, as Executive Chairman of the Board on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Swygert Employment Agreement, as amended by this First Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereto agree to amend only the affected language within each of the following numbered paragraphs of the Swygert Employment Agreement:
1. Effective Date; Term. As of the Effective Date, this Agreement, which sets forth the terms of your employment as the Executive Chairman of the Board, unless sooner terminated in
accordance with Section 6 hereof, will have a term from February 1, 2026 through February 11, 2027 (the “Term”). Prior to the end of the Term, you and the
Board will review your expected role and time commitment for fiscal year 2027, if any, and determine whether or not to extend the Term on the same or amended terms.
5. Equity Awards; Benefits.
