“Aircraft Use Policy”) which, among other things, permits certain non-business use of (i) the Bombardier Global Express XRS aircraft owned by the Company (the “Global Express”), (ii) any aircraft in which the Company

otherwise being used by the Company exclusively for business use. The Aircraft Use Policy permits non-business use of Company Aircraft by the Chief Executive Officer, other officers or employees of the Company to the extent approved by the Chief
Executive Officer, and under certain circumstances, non-employee members of the Board. Any such personal use may result in imputed compensation to such persons.

Meals”). To the extent that any Company Meals are considered non-business expenses, they may result in imputed compensation to the applicable individuals. In addition, the Company permits Mr. Saylor to make personal use of the
Company’s in-house catering resources (such use, other than for Company Meals, “Non-Business Catering Use”). The Company has established a policy that the compensation imputed to Mr. Saylor as a result of Non-Business Catering
