the Consulting Agreement is to be effective July 4, 2021.
The Amended Severance Agreement provides for (i) certain benefits in the case of Mr. Tweed’s termination before July 3, 2021, consistent with

executive severance agreement, effective during the term of Mr. Tweed’s employment and continuing until the earlier of July 4, 2021 or the effectiveness of the Consulting Agreement, and (iii) an award of 50,000 shares of Class A
restricted stock, to vest on the earlier of January 25, 2022 or a change-in-control of the Company.
Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, (i) Mr. Tweed will provide certain consulting services to the Company from July 4, 2021 through December
31, 2022, unless the Consulting Agreement is earlier terminated by the Company as provided in the Consulting Agreement (the “Term”), (ii) during the Term, the Company will pay to the Consulting Entity $128,000 per quarter for Mr.
Tweed being available to provide consulting services for a minimum of 25 days per quarter, and (iii) Mr. Tweed agreed to certain non-solicitation provisions during the Term and through the earlier of June 30, 2023 or one year
following the termination of the Consulting Agreement.
