Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Waldeck will be paid $1,125,000.00, which is equal to eighteen (18) months of his base salary, in biweekly payments over an eighteen-month period commencing on the Separation Date (the “Separation Period”). Mr. Waldeck will be eligible to receive a pro rata share of any annual cash incentive program (the “AIP”) award earned based on actual 2024 performance factors. Any award earned would be paid out when the AIP awards are finalized in early 2025. Performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units will vest according to the terms of the applicable plan.

Mr. Waldeck will also continue to be eligible for financial counseling thru the Separation Period, executive physical exams for 2024 and 2025 and eighteen (18) months of outplacement assistance.

The Agreement also includes a release and customary covenants restricting Mr. Waldeck from disclosing confidential information, from competing with the Company’s business, soliciting customers and from soliciting employees of the Company.
