2. Executive’s Resignation. The Company hereby confirms its acceptance of Executive’s resignation, effective as of February 5, 2026, at which time, the Executive’s services to and employment with the Company ceased (the “Resignation Date”).

Executive further confirms that, as of the Resignation Date, he owned (and as of the Effective Date will own) 6,250 shares of the Company’s common stock and options to purchase 278,647 shares of the Company’s common stock, and was not, as of the Resignation Date (and as of the Effective Date, will not be) entitled to receive from the Company any additional shares of the Company’s common stock or options therefor. The Parties further acknowledge that, upon resignation, Executive retained all rights and entitlements that he had as of the Resignation Date to his then-vested employee benefits, fringe benefits, and the above-referenced equity awards, in each case, in accordance with the Company’s policies, the underlying benefit plan documents, and applicable law. Executive further confirms that the payments expressly set forth below in Clauses a. and b. (which shall be paid to Executive in addition to the Consideration, as defined in Section 3 below) on the Effective Date and shall represent the Company’s full satisfaction of any and all of its obligations to Executive in respect of the foregoing:

3. Consideration. As consideration for the Parties’ agreement to settle their disputes and enter into this Agreement to memorialize the same, the Parties have agreed to provide the mutual releases hereinafter set forth and the Company has agreed to payment to the Executive of $75,000 as follows (the “Consideration”):

(a) $60,000 payable in four increments of $10,000, $10,000, $20,000 and $20,000 to Executive by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Executive in writing at least three days prior to each such payment, on each of the Effective Date, and then the thirtieth, sixtieth and ninetieth day, respectively, following the Effective Date, subject in each instance, to customary lawful withholdings by the Company for federal, state, and local taxes; and

(b) $15,000 payable, as has been instructed by Executive, directly to Cohen & Buckmann P.C., Executive’s legal counsel, in four increments of $2,500, $2, 500, $5,000 and $5,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such legal counsel in writing at least three days prior to each such payment on the each of the Effective Date, and then the thirtieth, sixtieth and ninetieth day, respectively, following the Effective Date, in respect of legal fees as contemplated by Section 17 below. Such payments shall be made concurrently with the payments provided for in Subsection 3(a) above and may be treated by Executive as a business expense reimbursement to Executive. The Company shall not withhold income tax or other withholdings from such payment; to the extent, however, that any such amounts are or otherwise become subject to taxation, the responsibility for remission of any and all such taxes to the proper authority shall be the sole responsibility of Executive.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to reflect any Party’s belief that Executive’s waiver of claims under ADEA is invalid or unenforceable, it being the intent of the Parties that such claims are waived.
