 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. Parent 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 Parent 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 Parent’s filings with the SEC and other
public disclosure documents. Parent has disclosed in writing, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to Parent’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Parent 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 Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, known to Parent, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s
internal controls over financial reporting. There is no reason to believe that Parent’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 Parent 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 Parent 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.
