Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 8, 2026, Stride, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Cooperation
Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Fivespan Partners, LP
(“Fivespan”), Fivespan Partners Fund, Ltd, Fivespan Partners GP, LLC
and Dylan Haggart (collectively with Fivespan, Fivespan Partners Fund, Ltd and Fivespan Partners GP, LLC, the “Investor
Group”) regarding, among other things, the appointment of Mr. Dylan G. Haggart and Dr. Steven Guttentag (each a “New
Director” and collectively, the “New Directors”) as directors
(with Dr. Guttentag first serving as a non-voting observer (the “Board Observer”)
to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), as described in Item 5.02 below) and the formation of a Capital Allocation
Committee of the Board (the “Capital Allocation Committee”).
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Company has agreed, among other things, (i) to appoint Mr. Haggart to serve as an independent
director on the Board, effective as of the close of business on October 30, 2026 (or such earlier date and time as may be mutually agreed
in writing by the Investor Group and the Company) (the “Appointment Date and Time”),
with an initial term expiring at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026
Annual Meeting”), and to nominate him for election to the Board on the Company slate, and recommend in favor of and use
reasonable best efforts to cause his election to the Board, at the 2026 Annual Meeting, for a term expiring at the Company’s 2027
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”) and (ii)
to appoint Dr. Guttentag to serve as Board Observer, effective immediately, and to appoint him as an independent director of the Board,
effective immediately following the conclusion of the 2026 Annual Meeting, with a term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting.
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Investor Group withdrew its notice of director nominations and stockholder proposal for the
2026 Annual Meeting and its demand for inspection of books and records under Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware, and agreed to abide by certain voting commitments, customary standstill obligations and mutual non-disparagement provisions,
which obligations will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the date that is 30 days prior to the notice deadline for the submission
of stockholder director nominations for the 2027 Annual Meeting pursuant to the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Bylaws, (ii)
the Company failing to appoint Mr. Haggart or Dr. Guttentag as a director or Board Observer (as applicable) in accordance with the Cooperation
Agreement or failing to comply with certain of its obligations regarding the nomination of Mr. Haggart at the 2026 Annual Meeting or
the non-removal of the New Directors, or (iii) the mutual termination of the Cooperation Agreement by the parties thereto (such period,
the “Standstill Period”). Fivespan has also been granted replacement
rights in respect of the New Directors during the Standstill Period, subject to certain conditions, should either of Mr. Haggart or Dr.
Guttentag’s Board seats become vacant. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Investor Group for certain expenses in connection
with the Cooperation Agreement, subject to a cap.
In accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, on October 8, 2026, the Board approved the formation of the Capital Allocation Committee,
effective as of the Appointment Date and Time, to support and make recommendations to the Board regarding the Company’s capital
structure and capital allocation strategy. The Capital Allocation Committee will be comprised of three voting members, Brian Shepherd
and Mr. Haggart, who will serve as Co-Chairs, and Aida Alvarez, as well as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert E. Knowling,
Jr., who will serve as a non-voting member.
The foregoing summary of the Cooperation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements
of Certain Officers.
On October 8, 2026, the Board (i) appointed Mr. Haggart, with effect as from the Appointment Date and Time, to serve as a director on
the Board with an initial term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting, to fill a vacancy created by Ms. Allison Lawrence’s resignation
(discussed below), and (ii) nominated Mr. Haggart for election to the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting for a term expiring at the 2027
Annual Meeting and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation, death or removal. In connection with
the foregoing, on October 8, 2026, Ms. Lawrence tendered her resignation from the Board and from the Compensation Committee of the Board,
effective immediately prior to the Appointment Date and Time. Following the effective time of her resignation, Ms. Lawrence will serve
as a non-voting observer to the Board until she is re-appointed to the Board immediately following the conclusion of the 2026 Annual
Meeting. Ms. Lawrence’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s
operations, policies or practices. Also on October 8, 2026, the Board appointed Dr. Guttentag to serve as the Board Observer, effective
immediately. As a result of these changes, the Board will remain at eight directors. Effective as of immediately following the conclusion
of the 2026 Annual Meeting, the Board will increase its size from eight directors to ten directors, nine of whom will be independent,
and Dr. Guttentag and Ms. Lawrence will be appointed to serve as directors on the Board, each with a term expiring at the 2027 Annual
Meeting and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal.
Also on October 8, 2026, the Board (i) appointed Mr. Haggart to serve on the Capital Allocation Committee and the Compensation Committee
of the Board, each effective as of the Appointment Date and Time and (ii) appointed Dr. Guttentag to serve on the Academic Committee
of the Board, which was previously formed by the Board on September 17, 2026 and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of
the Board, and Ms. Lawrence to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board, in each case effective immediately following the conclusion
of the 2026 Annual Meeting.
Mr. Haggart, age 39, brings more than 15 years of investment and public company governance experience. He is the Founder, Managing Partner
and Chief Investment Officer of Fivespan, a concentrated, fundamental value investor in industry-leading public companies. Prior to founding
Fivespan in 2023, he served as a Partner at ValueAct Capital from 2013 to 2023. Mr. Haggart has served as an independent director of
Seagate Technology since 2018 and currently serves on its Compensation & People Committee. He previously served as an independent
director of Fiserv from 2022 to 2024, including on its Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee and Talent & Compensation
Committee. Mr. Haggart is a member of the Board of Trustees for the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco’s Endowment Trust.
Dr. Guttentag, age 63, brings more than 30 years of experience designing and deploying technology-based solutions to improve K-12 education.
He most recently served as Chief Executive Officer of EPS Learning, a provider of literacy and reading intervention solutions, from 2022
to 2025. He previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Reading Plus, an adaptive literacy program, from 2019 to 2021. Dr. Guttentag
co-founded and served as President of Connections Education, a K-12 online education platform that grew to serve more than 70,000 full-time
students prior to its acquisition by Pearson, and later served as President of Pearson Online & Blended Learning from 2014 to 2018.
Earlier in his career, Dr. Guttentag served as Chief Education Officer of Education Networks of America and Chief Information Officer
of the School District of Philadelphia. He also served as a Venture Partner focused on education at RIDGE-LANE Limited Partners.
Other than the Cooperation Agreement, there is no other arrangement or understanding between Mr. Haggart or Dr. Guttentag on the one
hand, and any other persons on the other hand, pursuant to which Mr. Haggart or Dr. Guttentag was appointed as a director or Board Observer
of the Company. Other than the expense reimbursement provided by the Cooperation Agreement, there are no transactions between the Company
and either of Mr. Haggart or Dr. Guttentag that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In his capacity as the Board Observer, Dr. Guttentag will have the right to attend and reasonably participate in all meetings of the
Board and the committees on which he will serve once he becomes a director and to receive the same materials and notices distributed
to members of the Board and such committees, and will have the same information rights and access to management as Board and committee
members, subject to certain exclusion rights of the Company and his execution of a confidentiality undertaking. Ms. Lawrence, in her
capacity as a non-voting observer, will have substantially similar rights with respect to meetings of the Board and the Compensation
Committee, subject to her execution of a substantially similar confidentiality undertaking.
Upon appointment to the Board, each New Director
will be entitled to receive compensation (including equity-based compensation, if any), an annual retainer and benefits (including expense
reimbursements) on the same basis as all other non-employee directors of the Company, as described in the “Compensation of Non-Employee
Directors” section of the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on October 24, 2025, prorated as applicable. Each New Director and Ms. Lawrence (to the extent her existing indemnification agreement
does not continue in effect following her resignation and re-appointment) will also enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification
agreement for directors, which was filed as Exhibit 4.6 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2026.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 9, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the entry into the Cooperation Agreement, the appointment of Mr. Haggart
to the Board effective as of the Appointment Date and Time, the appointment of Dr. Guttentag as the Board Observer and his expected appointment

Exhibit 10.1
COOPERATION AGREEMENT
This Cooperation Agreement
(“Agreement”), dated as of October 8, 2026, is made by and among Stride, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
Fivespan Partners, LP (“Fivespan”) and the other Fivespan entities and persons listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively
with Fivespan, the “Investor Group” and each, individually, an “Investor Group Member”). The Company
and each Investor Group Member are referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.
WHEREAS, the Company and representatives
of the Investor Group have engaged in discussions regarding various matters concerning the Company, including matters concerning the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”);
WHEREAS, as of the date of
this Agreement, Fivespan, together with the other Investor Group Members, Beneficially Owns (as defined below) common stock of the Company,
par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), as set forth on Schedule A hereto; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have
determined that it is in their respective best interests to come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Board and certain
other matters, as provided in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Board Matters.
a. Board Membership.
i. Appointment of Mr. Haggart. Prior to the Appointment Date and Time, the Board and the Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Governance Committee”), and any other applicable committees of
the Board, shall take, and the Board and such committees shall continue to cause to be taken, all necessary actions to, effective as of
the close of business on October 30, 2026 (or such earlier date and time as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Investor Group and
the Company after the date of this Agreement) (the “Appointment Date and Time”): (A) create a vacancy on the Board
(either by expanding the size of the Board or causing an existing Board member to resign); and (B) appoint Mr. Dylan Haggart to serve
as (1) an independent director of the Company (in such capacity, the “Haggart Director”), with an initial term expiring
at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”) and (2) a member of each of
the Compensation Committee of the Board and the Capital Allocation Committee (as defined below) of the Board. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, until the Appointment Date and Time, neither Mr. Haggart nor any member of the Investor Group shall
be provided any material non-public information by the Company without their express prior written consent.
ii. Appointment of Dr. Steven Guttentag. The Board and the Governance Committee, and any other applicable
committees of the Board, shall take or have taken (as the case may be), and the Board and such committees shall continue to cause to be
taken, all necessary actions (including, to the extent necessary, by expanding the Board) to: (A) effective on the date of this Agreement
immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, appoint Dr. Steven Guttentag to serve as a non-voting observer to
the Board (in such observer capacity the “Board Observer”); and (B) effective immediately following the conclusion
of the 2026 Annual Meeting on the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting, appoint Dr. Guttentag to serve as (1) an independent director of the
Company (in such capacity, the “Guttentag Director” and together with the Haggart Director, the “New Directors”),
with a term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”) and (2)
a member of each of the Academic Committee of the Board and the Governance Committee of the Board.
iii. Certain Other Matters. Without limiting the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 1(a), during
the term of this Agreement, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board will give each of the New Directors the same due consideration
for membership on each other committee of the Board, including any new committees that may be established, as any other independent director.
The New Directors and any replacements therefor pursuant to Section 1(e) shall be deemed to be members of the “Incumbent
Board” within the meaning of the Fifth Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as restated on December 5, 2020 (the
“Charter”). The Board Observer, in his capacity as such, shall (x) have the right to attend and reasonably participate
at all meetings of the Board and the applicable committees on which such Board Observer will serve once he becomes the Guttentag Director
and receive, concurrently with the members of the Board or of such Board committee, the same materials and notices distributed to members
of the Board and such committees until appointed to the Board and such committees and (y) have the same information rights (subject to
the following sentence) and access to management as Board and committee members. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing,
the Company reserves the right to exclude (A) the Board Observer, prior to his appointment to the Board, from (1) any executive session
of the Board or of any committee thereof, or any portion of any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof held in executive session
and (2) from access to any Board or committee material or Board or committee meeting or portion thereof
(other than any executive session thereof) if, and to the extent that, the Board or the chair of such committee, as applicable, reasonably
and in good faith determines based on the advice of legal counsel that such exclusion is necessary to preserve legal privilege or to comply
with applicable law or stock exchange regulation, and (B) any New Director, following his appointment to the Board, from (1) any
executive session of any committee of the Board of which such New Director is not a member to the extent permitted by the charter for
such committee (provided that no such right shall be exercised against a New Director in a discriminatory manner as
compared to other independent directors of the Company not on such committee) and (2) any materials or meetings of Board committees on
which such New Director does not sit (other than any executive session of any committee of the Board on which such New Director is not
a member to the extent permitted by the preceding clause (B)(1)) solely as and to the extent that such exclusion of such New Director
over their objection is permitted by default provisions of Delaware law and the chair of such committee has been advised by outside counsel
that such exclusion is required by their fiduciary duties. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Board Observer shall
execute and deliver an undertaking in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
2
b. Director Elections During the Standstill Period. With respect to the 2026 Annual Meeting, the Board
and the Governance Committee, and any other applicable committees of the Board, shall (i) nominate Mr. Haggart as a candidate for election
as a director of the Company on the Company’s slate for the 2026 Annual Meeting, (ii) use their respective reasonable best efforts
to cause the election of Mr. Haggart to the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting for a new term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting, and (iii)
recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote “against,” or “withhold” votes with respect to, any candidate
for election as a director of the Company at such meeting who is not nominated by the Board on the Company’s slate for the 2026
Annual Meeting. The reasonable best efforts referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall include (A) including Mr. Haggart
in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting and on the proxy card prepared, filed and delivered by the Company
in connection with such meeting, (B) recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of Mr. Haggart at
the 2026 Annual Meeting and (C) otherwise supporting Mr. Haggart for election to the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting in a manner no less
rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports the election of any of its other director nominees recommended by
the Board (including with respect to the solicitation of proxies in favor of their election to the Board at such meeting and by causing
all proxies received in favor of Mr. Haggart to be present and voted at such meeting). The Company further agrees that the Investor Group
will have the opportunity to review the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card and any additional solicitation materials relating
to the 2026 Annual Meeting (in each case, with respect to the portions thereof relating to Mr. Haggart, Dr. Guttentag, an Investor Group
Member or the matters referred to in this Agreement) in advance of filing and first use and the Company shall consider in good faith any
comments provided by the Investor Group with respect thereto. The Company shall not seek to remove (and shall oppose, recommend against
and solicit proxies against the removal of) any New Director from the Board during the term of this Agreement.
c. Company Policies; Benefits. The New Directors will be governed by the same protections and obligations
under the Company’s written policies (including written policies regarding confidentiality, director independence and certain relationships,
related person transactions, corporate governance guidelines, codes of conduct, trading and disclosure policies and any other written
governance guidelines and policies of the Company) as other directors of the Company, as such guidelines and policies are amended from
time to time (collectively, “Company Policies”) (subject to Section 5) and will have the same rights and benefits,
including with respect to insurance, indemnification, expense reimbursement, compensation and fees, as are applicable to all other non-employee
directors of the Company. The Company represents that it has prior to the date hereof provided to the Investor Group copies of all Company
Policies in effect as of the execution hereof and not publicly available on the Company’s website, and agrees that it will promptly
make available to the Board Observer and New Directors copies of all Company Policies not publicly available on the Company’s website,
and promptly inform them in writing of any material amendments to any Company Policy.
3
d. Capital Allocation Committee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Board and
all applicable committees thereof shall take, and the Board and such committees shall continue to cause to be taken, all necessary actions
to, effective at the Appointment Date and Time, form a committee of the Board to be named the Capital Allocation Committee (the “Capital
Allocation Committee”) to support and make recommendations to the Board regarding the Company’s capital structure and
capital allocation strategy. The Capital Allocation Committee shall be comprised solely of (i) three voting members, including Brian Shepherd
and Dylan Haggart, with Mr. Shepherd and Mr. Haggart serving as Co-Chairs, and (ii) one non-voting member, who shall be the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 1(g)), any Replacement Director
for the Haggart Director, in order to serve as a Co-Chair of the Capital Allocation Committee, must possess extensive capital allocation
expertise and proven board leadership experience at other public companies. The charter for the Capital Allocation Committee shall be
in the form that has been separately agreed between the Company and the Investor Group prior to or concurrently with the execution of
this Agreement, and the Company and (to the same extent as any other member of the Capital Allocation Committee is required to do so as
a director) Mr. Haggart shall comply with such charter. The Capital Allocation Committee shall not be disbanded or have its responsibilities
or authorities curtailed during the term of this Agreement without the mutual written consent of the Investor Group and the Company.
e. Replacement Rights. If, during the term of this Agreement, any New Director is no longer able or
willing to serve as a director of the Company for any reason (and provided that at all times since the date of this Agreement the
Investor Group has Beneficially Owned in the aggregate at least 1,038,995 shares of Common Stock (subject
to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments),
(the “Company Ownership Level Minimum”), then the Investor Group shall be entitled to designate a replacement (any
such replacement designated by the Investor Group, a “Proposed Replacement”) who must (i) qualify as “independent”
pursuant to the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) and (ii) not be (A) (solely with respect to any proposed replacement for the Guttentag Director)
an Affiliate or Representative of any Investor Group Member or (B) any Person who has been previously proposed, nominated or put forward
by or on behalf of any Investor Group Member as a Board candidate (whether as a Proposed Replacement under this Agreement or as a nominee
in the Notice for election to the Board), to fill the resulting vacancy caused by such New Director’s departure from the Board.
The Board shall have the right to approve any such Proposed Replacement (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed) and, subject to such approval, shall promptly appoint the Proposed Replacement to the Board and, subject (solely with respect
to the Board’s Audit Committee, Governance Committee and Compensation Committee) to the Proposed Replacement’s satisfaction
of the requirements to serve on such committee under applicable law and any applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange,
to each committee of which the replaced New Director had been a member (any such approved and appointed replacement director, a “Replacement
Director”). If the Board does not approve any such Proposed Replacement, the Investor Group shall have the right to continue
proposing individuals until a Proposed Replacement is approved by the Board (provided that such subsequent Proposed Replacement
shall also satisfy the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above in this paragraph), at which time the Board, and all applicable committees
thereof, shall take all necessary actions to cause such Proposed Replacement to be appointed to the Board and, subject (solely with respect
to the Board’s Audit Committee, Governance Committee and Compensation Committee) to the Proposed Replacement’s satisfaction
of the requirements to serve on such committee under applicable law and any applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange,
to each committee of which the replaced New Director had been a member. The Board shall express in writing its approval or disapproval
of any Proposed Replacement to the Investor Group no later than five (5) business days following (x) receipt, in respect of such Proposed
Replacement, of all customary information requested by the Board in respect of its other director candidates, including an executed director
questionnaire (in the form used by the Company for all of its director candidates), and (y) completion of a customary background check
and interview by the Governance Committee, each of which shall be conducted promptly following the Investor Group’s designation
of such Proposed Replacement. The Company shall inform the Investor Group in writing of any such information that it believes is still
outstanding promptly on an ongoing basis during its review process. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board shall not be entitled to disapprove
of any Proposed Replacement for the Haggart Director on the basis that such Proposed Replacement may be a Representative of an Investor
Group Member. Upon a Replacement Director’s appointment to the Board, such Replacement Director shall be deemed to be a Haggart
Director (or, as applicable, a Guttentag Director) for all purposes under this Agreement. The Investor Group shall notify the Company
if at any time during the Standstill Period the Investor Group’s Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock in the aggregate falls below
the Company Ownership Level Minimum.
4
f. Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the terms (i) “Affiliate”, “Associate”
and “control” will have the meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (ii) “Beneficially Own” or variations thereof will
have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and (iii) “Representatives” of any Person
shall mean such Person’s principals, directors, managing members, general partners, officers, employees, agents and representatives,
in the case of agents and representatives solely when and to the extent acting on behalf of or at the direction of such Person (it being
understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Board Observer and the Guttentag Director (and any Replacement Director therefor) is
not a “Representative” of the Investor Group or any of their controlled Affiliates).
2. Standstill and Voting.
a. Each Investor Group Member agrees that during the Standstill Period, it will not, and will cause each
of its controlled Affiliates and its and their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, and in any manner whatsoever, without prior
written approval of the Board:
i. acquire, offer to acquire or agree to acquire (directly or indirectly,
whether by market purchases, private purchases, tender or exchange offer, through the acquisition of control of another Person, by joining
a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), through swap or hedging transactions or otherwise)
(A) any shares of Common Stock (or Beneficial Ownership thereof) or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for
any shares of Common Stock (or Beneficial Ownership thereof) (including any derivative securities or any other rights decoupled from the
underlying securities of the Company) such that, as a result of such acquisition, the Investor Group would Beneficially Own in the aggregate
in excess of 7.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Beneficial Ownership Cap”); provided,
however that, the foregoing shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, restrict any member of the Investor Group or any Investor Group
controlled Affiliate or any Representative of any of the foregoing from acquiring, offering to acquire or agreeing to acquire, directly
or indirectly, any cash-settled swaps or other cash-settled derivative instruments that are not pursuant to their terms convertible or
exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock and which do not otherwise convey to them voting power (or the right to acquire
voting power) with respect to the underlying Common Stock (each, an “Economic Interest”), so long as any such Economic
Interest, taken together with the shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Investor Group, would not exceed 12.5 % in the aggregate
of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Economic Exposure Cap”).
The Investor Group, their controlled Affiliates and its and their Representatives shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section
2(a)(i) (and shall not be required to reduce their then-current Beneficial Ownership of or Economic Interest in Common Stock) as a
result of (x) (for the avoidance of doubt) any subsequent Common Stock repurchases by the Company or (y) the actual number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock being less than the Company’s most-recently disclosed figure at the time of any acquisition, offer or agreement
by any Investor Group Member, controlled Affiliate thereof or Representatives of either of the foregoing;
5
ii. other than in open market sale transactions or in other transactions where
the identity of the purchaser is not known to anyone in the Investor Group, sell, offer, or agree to sell, directly or indirectly, through
swap or hedging transactions or otherwise, any Common Stock of the Company held by the Investor Group, a controlled Affiliate thereof
or Representative of either of the foregoing or any voting rights decoupled from the underlying Common Stock held by the foregoing to
any Person not (A) a party to this Agreement, (B) a member of the Board, (C) an officer of the Company, (D) another Investor Group Member
or controlled Affiliate of an Investor Group Member (or Representative of any of the foregoing) or (E) a Person that is reasonably believed
by the Investor Group to be eligible to report its Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock on Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b) or Rule
13d-1(c) under the Exchange Act, has no known prior history of activism, has not filed a Schedule 13D with respect to the Company, and,
as a result of such acquisition of such Common Stock of the Company would not (based on such Person’s most recent Schedule 13G filing
or otherwise to the knowledge of the Investor Group) be required to convert its filing on a Schedule 13G to a Schedule 13D with respect
to the Company by virtue of Rule 13d-1(f) under the Exchange Act (any Person not set forth in clauses (A) through (D) will be referred
to as a “Third Party”) that would cause such Third Party (excluding any Person set forth in clause (E) above), together
with its Affiliates, to own, control or otherwise have Beneficial Ownership in the aggregate in excess of 9.9% of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding at such time;
iii. engage in any short sale of Common Stock, or any purchase, sale or grant
of any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right or other similar right (including any put or call option or “swap”
transaction) with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that directly relates to or derives any significant
part of its value primarily from a decline in the market price or value of the Common Stock of the Company if doing so would result in
the Investor Group failing to maintain a net long economic position with respect to the Common Stock;
6
iv. (A) advise or knowingly encourage or knowingly seek to influence any other
Person (other than an Investor Group Member or its controlled Affiliates or its or their Representatives) or knowingly assist any Third
Party in so knowingly encouraging, assisting or influencing any other Person (other than an Investor Group Member or its controlled Affiliates
or its or their Representatives) with respect to the giving or withholding of any proxy, consent or other authority to vote Common Stock
or in conducting any type of Company shareholder referendum (other than such encouragement, advice or influence that is not inconsistent
with the Board’s recommendation in connection with such matter, or is otherwise permitted under this Agreement); provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not restrict any Investor Group Member or its controlled Affiliates or its or their Representatives
from stating how they intend to vote with respect to an Extraordinary Transaction, if any, that has been or is required to be publicly
submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders and the reasons therefor or from otherwise advocating in support of (or
in opposition to) any Extraordinary Transaction that has been or is required to be publicly submitted for the approval of the Company’s
stockholders and to which the Investor Group is not a party following its public announcement or (B) advise, knowingly seek to influence
or knowingly encourage any Person with respect to, or effect or seek to effect, whether alone or in concert with others, the election,
nomination or removal of a Company director;
v. solicit proxies or written consents of stockholders or conduct any other
type of referendum (binding or non-binding) (including any “withhold,” “vote no” or similar campaign) with respect
to the shares of Common Stock, or become a “participant” (as such term is defined in Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A
promulgated under the Exchange Act) in or knowingly encourage or assist any Third Party in any “solicitation” of any proxy,
consent or other authority (as such terms are defined under the Exchange Act) to vote any shares of Common Stock (other than any encouragement,
advice or influence that is not inconsistent with the Board’s recommendation in connection with such matter) provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not restrict any Investor Group Member or controlled Affiliates or its or their Representatives from stating
how they intend to vote with respect to an Extraordinary Transaction, if any, that has been or is required to be publicly submitted for
the approval of the Company’s stockholders and the reasons therefor or from otherwise advocating in support of (or in opposition
to) any Extraordinary Transaction that has been or is required to be publicly submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders
and to which the Investor Group is not a party following its public announcement;
7
vi. (A) form, join or in any other way participate in any partnership, limited
partnership, syndicate or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), in each case, with respect
to any shares of Common Stock (other than a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or “group” (within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) solely consisting of Investor Group Members and/or their respective Associates and/or Affiliates
and/or Representatives of any of the foregoing); provided, however, that an Associate or Affiliate of an Investor Group
Member (or any Representatives of any of the foregoing) will only be permitted to join the “group” following the execution
of this Agreement, so long as (x) any such Associate, Affiliate or Representative agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and (y) such joining would not result in the Investor Group and its Associates, Affiliates and Representatives Beneficially
Owning in the aggregate in excess of the Maximum Beneficial Ownership Cap or the Maximum Economic Exposure Cap), (B) grant any proxy,
consent or other authority to vote with respect to any matters to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders (other than to the named
proxies included in the Company’s proxy card for any Stockholder Meeting (as defined below) or in accordance with Section 2(b))
or (C) agree to deposit or deposit any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any
such shares of Common Stock in any voting trust, voting agreement or similar arrangement (other than (I) to the named proxies included
in the Company’s proxy card for any Stockholder Meeting, (II) customary brokerage accounts, margin accounts, prime brokerage accounts
and the like, (III) any agreement solely among the Investor Group Members or their respective Associates or Affiliates or (IV) as otherwise
consistent with Section 2(b));
vii. separately or in conjunction with any Third Party in which the Third Party
is or proposes to be either a principal, partner or financing source or is acting or proposes to act as broker or agent for compensation,
propose (publicly or privately), or effect any tender offer or exchange offer, merger, acquisition, reorganization, restructuring, recapitalization
or other business combination involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the assets or businesses of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries (any of the foregoing, an “Extraordinary Transaction”) or knowingly encourage or initiate or support any
other Third Party in any such activity; provided, however, that the Investor Group Members and their respective controlled
Affiliates or its or their Representatives will be permitted to (A) sell or tender their shares of Common Stock, and otherwise receive
consideration, pursuant to any such transaction, (B) vote on any such transaction in accordance with Section 2(b) and (C) state
how they intend to vote with respect to an Extraordinary Transaction, if any, that has been or is required to be publicly submitted for
the approval of the Company’s stockholders and the reasons therefor or otherwise advocating in support of (or in opposition to)
any Extraordinary Transaction that is or is required to be publicly submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders and
to which the Investor Group is not a party following its public announcement;
8
viii. (A) nominate, recommend for nomination or give notice of an intent to
nominate or recommend for nomination a Person for election at any Stockholder Meeting at which the Company’s directors are to be

Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) or any other actions that may impede or facilitate the acquisition of control
of the Company by any person; (E) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from, or to cease to be authorized to be
quoted on, any securities exchange; or (F) causing a class of securities of the Company to become eligible for termination of registration
pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (A) through (F), except as expressly
permitted under Section 1(d) or Section 1(e);
x. knowingly encourage, facilitate, support or participate in or enter into any negotiations, agreements,
arrangements or understandings with respect to the taking of any actions by any Third Party in connection with the foregoing that is prohibited
to be taken by the Investor Group; or
9
xi. request that the Company amend or waive any provision of this Section 2 (including this Section
2(a)(xi)), other than through non-public communications with the Company that would not reasonably be expected to trigger public disclosure
obligations for any of the Parties prior to the implementation of the action requested, which request the Company may accept or reject
in its sole and absolute discretion.
This Section 2(a)
will not be deemed to prevent any Investor Group Member, controlled Affiliate or its or their respective Representatives from: (i) communicating
privately with the Board or any of the Company’s executive officers or outside legal counsel regarding any matter, so long as such
communications are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require the Company or any Investor Group Member to make
public disclosure with respect thereto; (ii) making any public or private statement or announcement with respect to any Extraordinary
Transaction that has been or is required to be publicly submitted for approval of the Company’s stockholders by the Company (other
than an Extraordinary Transaction which Investor Group is a party to other than in its capacity as a stockholder), (iii) communicating
privately with stockholders of the Company or others in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to violate this Section 2(a),
Section 4 or any other provision of this Agreement; (iv) making or sending private communications to investors in any Investor
Group Member or any of its Affiliates or prospective investors in any Investor Group Member or any of its Affiliates, provided
that the recipients of such statements or communications are bound by a confidentiality obligation covering such communications; or (v)
taking any action to the extent necessary to comply with this Agreement or any law, rule or regulation or any action required by any governmental
or regulatory authority or stock exchange that has, or may have, jurisdiction over any Investor Group Member or any of its Affiliates
or its or their Representatives. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict in any way any New Director in the
exercise of his fiduciary duties under applicable law as a director of the Company.
b. In respect of any vote or consent of the Company’s stockholders during the Standstill Period (whether
at an annual or special stockholder meeting or pursuant to an action by written consent of the stockholders) (each a “Stockholder
Meeting”), the applicable Investor Group Member(s) will (A) appear and act in person or by proxy or otherwise cause all Common
Stock over which such Investor Group Member or its controlled Affiliates has Beneficial Ownership (excluding for the avoidance of doubt
any such shares of Common Stock acquired after the applicable record date or that the Investor Group and their controlled Affiliates do
not have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of any brokerage, custodial or similar agreement entered into by any of them in the ordinary
course of business that does not apply solely to their investments in the Common Stock and were not entered into for the purpose of making
such shares of Common Stock unable to be voted by the Investor Group or such Affiliate at the applicable meeting or for the applicable
consent) to be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum and (B) vote, or cause to be voted, all such shares of Common
Stock using the Company’s proxy card or voting instruction form (and will not execute any proxy card or voting instruction form
in respect of a Stockholder Meeting other than the proxy card and voting instruction form being solicited by or on behalf of the Board)
in accordance with the recommendation of the Board with respect to (i) the election, removal and/or replacement of directors (a “Director
Proposal”), (ii) the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and
(iii) any other proposal submitted to the Company’s stockholders at a Stockholder Meeting, in each case as such recommendation of
the Board is set forth in the applicable definitive proxy statement filed in respect thereof; provided, however, that the
Investor Group and the Investor Group Members will be entitled to vote the shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by them in their
sole discretion with respect to (A) any Extraordinary Transaction that has been or is required to be publicly submitted for the approval
of the Company’s stockholders, (B) the implementation of takeover defenses and/or (C) any proposal submitted to the Company’s
stockholders at a Stockholder Meeting (other than a Director Proposal) in respect of which Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. makes
a recommendation that differs from the recommendation of the Board. During the Standstill Period, provided that the Investor Group
is given at least 10 business days’ prior notice of the record date for such Stockholder Meeting (which may be made by Company press
release or Company SEC filing), each Investor Group Member will, and will cause its controlled Affiliates to, use their respective commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain (for purposes of such Stockholder Meeting) voting authority over any shares of Common Stock Beneficially
Owned by such Investor Group Member or controlled Affiliate and held in any margin account, prime brokerage account or similar account
that are loaned out or otherwise subject to any arrangement that would otherwise prevent such Investor Group Member or controlled Affiliate
from voting such shares at such Stockholder Meeting.
10
c. The “Standstill Period” will begin as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and will remain in full force until the earliest to occur of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the notice deadline for the
submission of stockholder director nominations for the 2027 Annual Meeting pursuant to the Bylaws, (ii) the Company failing to appoint
Mr. Haggart or Dr. Guttentag as Board Observer (in the case of Dr. Guttentag) or as New Directors (in the case of each of Mr. Haggart
and Dr. Guttentag) in accordance with Section 1(a) or failing to comply with any of the first two sentences or the last sentence
of Section 1(b), or (iii) this Agreement being otherwise mutually terminated by the Parties pursuant to Section 18.
d. Each Investor Group Member will comply, and will cause each of its controlled
Affiliates and Representatives to comply, with the terms of this Agreement and will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by
any such controlled Affiliate or Representative. A breach of this Agreement by any controlled
Affiliate or Representative of an Investor Group Member,
if such controlled Affiliate or Representative is not a party hereto, will be deemed to occur if such controlled Affiliate or Representative
engages in conduct that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if such controlled Affiliate or Representative were a party hereto
to the same extent as an Investor Group Member.
11
3. Withdrawal of Nominations, Proposals and Solicitation Activities.
a. Effective immediately upon execution of this Agreement (subject to the Company’s compliance with
(x) its obligations to appoint Dr. Guttentag as a Board Observer and as a New Director and Mr. Haggart as a New Director in accordance

records pursuant to Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware submitted to the Company on behalf of Fivespan
Partners Fund, Ltd by White & Case LLP, dated September 28, 2026 (including all enclosures thereto, the Limited Power of Attorney
and Affidavit delivered therewith, and any continuing or supplemental requests set forth therein) (the “Section 220 Demand”),
together with any other demand to inspect books and records of the Company that any Investor Group Member has submitted, or caused or
authorized to be submitted, to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement, and the Company shall have no further obligation to respond
to, or to provide any books, records or other materials pursuant to, the Section 220 Demand or any such other demand made prior to the
execution hereof.
b. Effective immediately upon execution of this Agreement (subject to the Company’s compliance with

Investor Group Member hereby will, and will cause each of its controlled Affiliates and its or their Representatives to, immediately cease
and terminate any and all solicitation activities (whether or not subject to the proxy solicitation rules under Regulation 14A of the
Exchange Act) in connection with the 2026 Annual Meeting, including (i) any solicitation of proxies, written consents or voting instructions
from stockholders of the Company in support of any proposal or nomination at the 2026 Annual Meeting and (ii) any communication with stockholders
of the Company, proxy advisory firms (including Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC), analysts, media
or other Persons intended to influence the voting of any shares of Common Stock with respect to any matter to be considered at the 2026
Annual Meeting.
12
c. Each Investor Group Member hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that, as of the date
of this Agreement, (i) neither it nor any of its controlled Affiliates or its or their Representatives has granted any proxy, power of
attorney or voting instruction to any Person with respect to the voting of any shares of Common Stock at the 2026 Annual Meeting (other
than as may have been revoked prior to the date hereof), (ii) neither it nor any of its controlled Affiliates or its or their Representatives
has entered into any voting trust, voting agreement or similar arrangement with respect to the voting of any shares of Common Stock at
the 2026 Annual Meeting, and (iii) to the extent any proxy, consent, voting instruction or authority has previously been solicited or
obtained by or on behalf of any Investor Group Member in connection with the 2026 Annual Meeting, all such proxies, consents, voting instructions
and authorities are hereby revoked and of no further force or effect as of the date of this Agreement.
4. Mutual Non-Disparagement. During the Standstill Period,
(a) each Investor Group Member will not, and will cause each of its controlled Affiliates or its or their Representatives not to, make,
or cause to be made, including by press release or other statement to members of the press or media, any statement or announcement that
is derogatory towards, or constitutes an ad hominem attack on, or otherwise disparages, the Company, its subsidiaries or their
respective officers or directors or any person who has served as an officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the
past and (b) the Company will not, and will cause its directors and executive officers (as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act)
not to, make, or cause to be made, including by press release or other statement to members of the press or media, any statement or announcement
that is derogatory towards, or that constitutes an ad hominem attack on, or otherwise disparages, the Investor Group or their respective
officers or directors or any person who has served as an officer or director of an Investor Group Member in the past or any New Director.
The foregoing will not prevent (x) the making of any factually correct and accurate statement in any compelled testimony or production
of information, either by legal process, subpoena, or as part of a response to a request for information from any governmental authority
with purported jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought or (y) the making by the Investor Group of any private communication
to its investors where the recipients thereof are advised that such communication is confidential and bound by a confidentiality obligation
covering such communications.
13
5. Company Information / Confidentiality.
a. Company Information. The Company acknowledges and agrees that none of the confidentiality provisions
contained in the Company Policies or any other provision contained in any Company Policy or other document, agreement or policy of the
Company or any fiduciary duty, or any undertaking delivered by a New Director to the Company, shall be deemed to restrict Mr. Haggart
(or any Replacement Director therefor) from sharing any “confidential information” provided by the Company to Mr. Haggart
(or such Replacement Director) in connection with his service as a director (such information and any notes, analyses, reports, models,
compilations, studies, interpretations, documents, records or extracts thereof containing or based upon such information, in whole or
in part, “Company Information”) with any of the Investor Group’s Representatives who need to know such Company
Information for the purpose of assisting the Investor Group in evaluating and monitoring its investment in the Company or ensuring compliance
with this Agreement, and Mr. Haggart (and any Replacement Director therefor) is expressly permitted to share Company Information with
such employees and advisors; provided that such Representatives either agree to maintain the confidentiality of Company Information
to the same extent as required of Mr. Haggart (or the Replacement Director) as a director of the Company or are otherwise bound (by fiduciary
or other professional duty) to maintain the confidentiality of Company Information; provided, further, that if such Representatives
fail to maintain the confidentiality of Company Information, the Investor Group shall be responsible for any non-compliance by such Representatives.
At the request of the Investor Group, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make arrangements (including by providing
redacted copies of materials or entering into a common interest agreement) that would maximize the ability of Mr. Haggart (and any Replacement
Director therefor) to provide Privileged Information (as defined below) to the Investor Group without jeopardizing legal privilege. No
Company Information received by any New Director (or any Replacement Director therefor) will be imputed to or deemed to have been provided
to any member of the Investor Group or any of their Representatives to the extent such Company Information has not actually been provided
by such New Director to such member of the Investor Group or such other Representatives.
b. Confidentiality. The members of the Investor Group and their Representatives other than Mr. Haggart
shall each maintain the confidentiality of the Company Information provided to it to the same extent as required of Mr. Haggart (or any
Replacement Director therefor) as a director (subject to any requirements of applicable law as advised by counsel or requests from any
government authority of competent jurisdiction), as the case may be, of the Company and shall only use, and shall cause its employees
and advisors to only use, Company Information in connection with Investor Group’s investment in the Company. Mr. Haggart (and any
Replacement Director therefor) shall not be subject to any restrictions or requirements relating to the use, disclosure, handling, return
or destruction of confidential information that are more onerous than those applied to any other director of the Company, it being understood
and agreed that Mr. Haggart (and any Replacement Director therefor) shall not be requested or required to return or destroy confidential
information unless all other present or former (if Mr. Haggart or such Replacement Director is no longer serving as a director) directors
also receive the same request.
14
c. Privileged Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is understood
and agreed that neither Mr. Haggart nor any Replacement Director therefor shall disclose to any member of the Investor Group or any of
their Representatives any Privileged Information that may be included in the Company Information. “Privileged Information”
as used in this Agreement shall be solely and exclusively limited to (i) the advice provided by legal counsel and any discussions, deliberations
or materials concerning such advice, (ii) any materials or information protected by the attorney work product doctrine, including documents
and tangible things prepared by or for the Company or its legal counsel in anticipation of litigation or for trial and (iii) any other
materials or information which would otherwise be subject to legal privileges and protections, and shall not include factual information
or the formulation or analysis of business strategy solely to the extent that it is not protected by the attorney-client privilege, the
attorney work product doctrine or other similar legal privilege or protection. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause Privileged
Information that is written to be appropriately marked as such.
d. Compelled Disclosure. Except as set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, in the event
that any member of the Investor Group or any of their Representatives are required by applicable subpoena, legal process or other legal
requirement to disclose any of the Company Information, such Person will promptly notify (except where such notice would be legally prohibited)
the Company in writing by email and certified mail so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (and if
the Company seeks such an order, such Person will provide such reasonable cooperation as the Company shall reasonably request), at the
Company’s cost and expense. If, in the absence of a protective order, the Investor Group or such Representative (as the case may
be) is nonetheless, based on the advice of counsel, required to disclose any Company Information then they may, without liability, produce
or disclose only that portion of the Company Information which such Person’s legal counsel advises such Person is legally required
to be so produced or disclosed, and such Person will inform the recipient of such Company Information of the existence of this Agreement
and the confidential nature of such Company Information (it being understood that the Investor Group and its Representatives shall not
be responsible for the failure of such person to keep such information confidential). In no event will any member of the Investor Group
or any of their Representatives oppose action by the Company to obtain a protective order or other relief to prevent the disclosure of
the Company Information or to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the Company Information. For the
avoidance of doubt, it is understood that there shall be no “legal requirement” requiring any member of the Investor Group
or any of their Representatives to disclose any Company Information solely by virtue of the fact that, absent such disclosure, such Person
would be prohibited from purchasing, selling, or engaging in derivative or other voluntary transactions with respect to the Common Stock.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, (A) nothing shall restrict the Investor Group or their Representatives
from (without following the procedures in this paragraph or any other process involving the Company) including any Company Information
that is not Privileged Information in the background or reasons section of (or pursuant to the form requirements for) a proxy statement
to the extent that the Investor Group is advised by outside counsel that such information is required to be included in such securities
filing by applicable securities law (it being understood that the foregoing shall not be deemed to permit the Investor Group to disclose
gratuitous information regarding the details of Board deliberations, pending non-public company transactions or other information not
customarily included in proxy statements involving contested elections) or in response to a comment on any such filing from the staff
of the SEC and (B) in the event that a member of the Investor Group or any of their Representatives is requested to disclose Company Information
to a regulatory authority with jurisdiction over it pursuant to a routine proceeding not known by the Investor Group or such Representative
to be specifically targeting the Company, the Investor Group or such Representative may disclose such information pursuant to such request,
without following the procedures in this paragraph or any other process involving the Company.
15
e. Trading Blackout Periods. For so long as Mr. Haggart is a director, the Investor Group agrees that
it will not, and will cause its controlled Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives not to, trade in any securities of
the Company or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such securities of the Company during Company blackout
periods applicable to all Company directors pursuant to the terms of the Company’s insider trading policy. The Company will notify
the Investor Group of the commencement and termination of each Company blackout period at the same time and in the same manner as the
Company notifies the directors generally of such commencement or termination. Except as stated in the first sentence of this paragraph,
the Company shall ensure at all times that the policies of the Company and the Board (including the Company Policies) shall not prohibit
or restrict any member of the Investor Group or their controlled Affiliates from trading in any securities (to the extent that such Investor
Group Member is not then in possession of material non-public information regarding such security from the Company).
f. Securities Laws Acknowledgment. The Investor Group hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the
United States securities laws may prohibit any Person who has received from an issuer any material, non-public information from purchasing
or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other Person under circumstances in which it is reasonably
foreseeable that such Person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.
16
g. No Representations or Warranties. The Investor Group (other than Mr. Haggart in his capacity as
a Company director) acknowledges that (i) none of the Company or any of the Company’s Representatives makes any representation or
warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any Company Information, and (ii) none of the Company or any of the
Company’s Representatives shall have any liability to any member of the Investor Group or to any of their Representatives relating
to or resulting from the use of the Company Information or any errors therein or omissions therefrom; provided, however,
that the foregoing will not limit the Company’s liability to the extent such information was disclosed publicly by the Company.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing shall be construed to apply to limit the rights of any New Director under or in connection
with Section 141(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
6. Director Information. The Company confirms it has received
prior to the execution hereof all information that it requires from or with respect to either New Director in order to perform its obligations
pursuant to Section 1. The New Directors will reasonably cooperate with the Company with respect to the provision of any customary
information reasonably required with respect to such New Director in order for the Company to comply with the form requirements of Schedule
14A promulgated under the Exchange Act in respect of any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company occurring during the
Standstill Period.
7. Disclosure of this Agreement. Promptly following the execution
of this Agreement on the date of execution of this Agreement, the Company will issue a press release (the “Press Release”)
announcing this Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Prior to the issuance of the Press Release,
neither the Company nor the Investor Group will issue any press release or public announcement regarding this Agreement or take any action
that would require public disclosure thereof without the prior written consent of the other Party. None of the Parties or any of their
controlled Affiliates or its or their Representatives will make any public statement (including in any filing required under the Exchange
Act) concerning the subject matter of this Agreement inconsistent with this Agreement during the Standstill Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Investor Group acknowledges and agrees that the Company will file this Agreement as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form
8-K within four (4) business days following the execution of this Agreement, provided that the Company will give Investor Group
a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Current Report (or any other Company filing referencing this Agreement or any member
of the Investor Group that is made during the Standstill Period to the extent any of the disclosures with respect thereto are substantially
different to the disclosures previously reviewed by the Investor Group) in advance of making such filing and consider any comments made
by the Investor Group in good faith. If, during the Standstill Period, an Investor Group Member becomes obligated to file a Schedule 13D
or an amendment thereto (other than an amendment solely reporting the purchase or disposition of Common Stock of the Company) in respect
of its investment in the Common Stock, then the Investor Group will give the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on
such filing in advance of making such filing and consider any comments made by the Company in good faith.

Parties relating to the subject matter hereof other than those set forth in this Agreement (including the attachments hereto).

Stride also announced that the Board is forming a new Capital Allocation

directors Brian Shepherd and Dylan Haggart will co-chair the Committee.
As a part of the Committee’s initial review, the Company will
solicit input from shareholders on its capital allocation priorities and incorporate that feedback into the Committee’s recommendations.

announce its target capital structure and a clear framework for allocating future cash flows to maximize long-term value.

are committed to working together to enhance shareholder value and maximize learning outcomes for the students we serve,” continued
Mr. Fink.

its market and the leadership it has exemplified over more than two decades. We believe in Stride’s significant long-term growth
potential and unique ability to serve students and families whose needs or circumstances are not well-served by a traditional school setting,”
Mr. Haggart said. “We appreciate the collaborative engagement we have had with the Board and management team. I look forward to
working alongside my fellow directors and management to help the Company deliver value for students, families, educators, and shareholders.”
In connection with today’s announcement, Stride has entered into
a cooperation agreement with Fivespan, which will be filed on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
