DIRECTOR COMPENSATION**</div>

**The Company has historically used a combination of cash and equity-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board of Directors. In setting director compensation for non-employee directors, the Board of Directors considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company as well as the skill level required by the Company of members of the Board of Directors. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no compensation for their service as directors.

Cash and Stock Compensation Paid to Directors

Members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company are entitled to receive annual compensation of $225,000, payable quarterly, forty percent in cash and sixty percent in fully vested Common Stock or, if they so elect as described below, deferred stock units (“DSUs”). Additionally, each director who serves as chair of the Board of Directors is entitled to receive an additional $45,000 per year, payable quarterly, in cash.

Historically, the number of shares of Common Stock or DSUs granted quarterly was determined by averaging the closing price of the Common Stock for the last five trading days of each fiscal quarter. As previously disclosed, on March 20, 2023, to align with the Compensation Committee’s determination to base the fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024 annual equity awards for the named executive officers on a fixed stock price of $9.13, the non-employee directors agreed to adjust the methodology for determining their equity-based compensation with respect to such years. Accordingly, commencing in fiscal 2023 and continuing with respect to fiscal 2024, the number of shares of Common Stock or DSUs granted quarterly to non-employee directors was determined by using a fixed stock price of $9.13 in lieu of the average price historically used. Any fractional shares are paid in cash.

Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to their services
