8.Other than with respect to information required to be disclosed by applicable law, Executive agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any person; provided, however, Executive may disclose this Agreement and/or any of its terms to Executive’s immediate family, financial advisors, and attorneys, so long as Executive instructs them not to disclose the terms of this Agreement further. Any time after this Agreement is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other government agency by the Company and becomes a public record, this provision shall no longer apply.

9.Executive acknowledges that she is entitled to a period of 21 days to consider whether to execute this Agreement. If Executive accepts the terms hereof and executes this Agreement, she may thereafter, for a period of seven days following (and not including) the date of execution, revoke her acceptance of this Agreement.

11.Nothing in this Agreement prevents or prohibits Executive from filing a claim or charge with a government agency that is responsible for enforcing a law or from cooperating, participating, or assisting in any government agency or regulatory entity investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee agrees and understands that Employee will not accept or be entitled to any further personal relief, recovery, or monetary damages from any source whatsoever with respect to any claim that has been released in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement and that this Agreement shall control and is the exclusive remedy as to any of the claims released herein.

12.Executive acknowledges that she has had the opportunity to seek the advice and assistance of an attorney with regard to this Agreement, and has been given a sufficient period within which to consider this Agreement.

13.Executive acknowledges that the release in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement relates only to claims that exist as of the date of this Agreement.

14.All amounts paid to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to withholding and other employment taxes imposed by applicable law. Executive shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on her relating to the payment or provision of any amounts or benefits hereunder.

15.Executive acknowledges that the benefits, as set forth in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, she is receiving in connection with this Agreement are in addition to anything of value to which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive from the Company.

16.In the event of the expiration or other termination of this Agreement, the respective rights and obligations of the Parties, including, without limitation, with respect to Executive’s confidentiality obligations set forth in the Employee Agreement dated October 22, 2024 shall survive such expiration or other termination to the extent necessary to carry out the intentions of the Parties under the Employee Agreement and this Agreement.

17.Each provision hereof is severable from this Agreement, and if one or more provisions of this Agreement are declared invalid, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad, in scope, duration, or otherwise, as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

18.This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the successors and assigns of each of the Parties, including, without limitation, Executive’s heirs and the personal representatives of Executive’s estate and any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

19.The name assigned this Agreement and headings of the sections, paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses and subclauses of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions hereof. Words of inclusion shall not be construed as terms of limitation herein, so that references to “include,” “includes,” and “including” shall not be limiting and shall be regarded as references to non-exclusive and non-characterizing illustrations.

20.Executive acknowledges that she has read and understands this Agreement in its entirety, that she is signing it knowingly and voluntarily, and that she intends to be bound by it.

21.This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement of the Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all prior agreements between the Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof except to the extent set forth herein.

22.The failure to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement or to require at any time performance by the other Party of any of the provisions hereof shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or to affect the validity of this Agreement, or any part

hereof, or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

23.This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile shall be deemed effective for all purposes.

24.Except for issues or matters as to which federal law is applicable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

25.The recitals set forth at the beginning of this Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

26.A copy of the original or of a signature to the original shall have the same force and effect as the original, and the signature of any Party may be executed through the use of a facsimile transmission or by way of a PDF (Portable Document Format) as an attachment to an Email, in which case the signature (whether by facsimile or PDF) on this Agreement shall be as effective as if an original signature were affixed to this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed multiple copies of this Agreement, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, will constitute the same document.
