WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company are parties to that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of ___________________ (the “Employment Agreement”), whereby the Executive is employed as the ____________ of the Company.

WHEREAS, in recognition of the contributions of the Executive to date and the need to continue to retain the service of the Executive through March 31, 2026 as the Company experiences a turnover in the membership of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Company desires to provide the Executive a retention payment, on terms and conditions described herein.

The Company hereby awards to the Executive a retention payment in an amount equal to 100% of the Executive’s 2025 base salary ($__________), which amount shall be paid in a cash lump sum, less applicable withholdings and deductions, no later than the second (2nd) business day following execution of this Retention Agreement.

2. Effect of Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates prior to March 31, 2026 (the “Retention Date”), the Executive will be required to repay to the Company a pro rata portion of the after-tax Retention Payment, calculated as follows: $[(after-tax Retention Payment / 145) * (145 – the number of days Executive was employed following the Effective Date)]. By way of example only, if the Executive resigns for other than Good Reason on December 31, 2025, the Executive will repay to the Company $[______] ((after-tax Retention Payment / 145) * 90).
