The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement previously filed by the Company as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 1, 2023 and incorporated herein by reference.
