(c) The Company maintains, and
at all times since January 1, 2023 has maintained, a system of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as
applicable, under the Exchange Act). Such internal control over financial reporting is sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with GAAP in all material respects. The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the
Exchange Act that are sufficient to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis to the individuals
responsible for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure documents. The Company has disclosed in writing, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s
outside auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, known to the
Company, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. There is no reason to believe that the Company’s outside auditors and
its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, without
qualification, when next due. Since January 1, 2023, no executive officer of the Company has failed in any respect to make the certifications required of such executive officer under Section 302 or Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. Neither the Company nor any of its executive officers has received notice from any Governmental Entity challenging or questioning the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing of such certifications.
