RECITALS
    WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower entered into that Security Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2021 (the “Security Agreement”) and that Promissory Note, dated as of January 25, 2021 (the “Note”), pursuant to which Lender extended to Borrower a loan in the principal amount of $1,771,000 (the “Loan”);
    WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9 of the Note, Lender has (a) personal recourse against Borrower as to 51% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loan evidenced by the Note, which as of the date hereof is equal to $903,210, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Recourse Portion”), and (b) no personal recourse against Borrower as to any remaining additional amounts due under the Loan evidenced by the Note that exceed the Recourse Portion, which is equal to $867,790 as of the date hereof (the “Non-Recourse Portion”);
    WHEREAS, Borrower pledged 21,396 shares of Lender’s Class B common stock, reflected for certain adjustments (the “Pledged Shares”), as collateral for the repayment of the Loan pursuant to the Security Agreement, and all of the Pledged Shares have vested;
    WHEREAS, Borrower desires to transfer and Lender desires to receive all of the Pledged Shares and apply the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Note) of such transferred Pledged Shares against Borrower’s obligations under the Note, in accordance with the terms of Section 9 of the Note, and that such transfer shall constitute full and final satisfaction of the Loan and all obligations of Borrower under the Note;
    WHEREAS Borrower and Lender acknowledge that the Fair Market Value of each vested Pledged Share is $39.93 per share, based on the closing stock price of Lender’s Class A common stock on March 11, 2026, which equals 21,396 Pledged Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to $854,342 (the “Aggregate Pledged Share FMV”);
    WHEREAS, Borrower desires to transfer and Lender desires to receive and cancel each of the vested Pledged Shares in full and final satisfaction of the Loan and accrued interest thereon under the Note, notwithstanding the Aggregate Pledge Share FMV may be insufficient to fulfill the total amount owed under the Loan; and
    WHEREAS, after giving effect to the foregoing provisions, the Parties hereto desire to terminate and extinguish the Loan and terminate and cancel the Security Agreement and Note.
