shall forfeit all vested and non-vested shares under the Award Agreement, regardless of whether restrictions have lapsed previously.

upon a Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, the Participant’s unvested Award Stock as of the date of termination
shall be forfeited for no payment and any rights the Participant had to such unvested Award Stock shall become null and void. In addition,
if the termination is a voluntary termination after one year of Participant’s date of hire or service, any Award Stock which vested
due to lapse of the Note Payment Restriction within the six-month period prior to the termination can be forfeited at the Company’s
election.

of Service and shall end on the later of (A) the end of such two (2) year restriction period, or (B) the end of the ninety

Price. The purchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) for any Repurchase Shares that the Company elects to purchase
pursuant to the exercise of the Repurchase Option shall be:


 


(i)             in
the event of a Termination of Service that is not a For Cause Termination or the Participant experiences a Good Reason Termination, the
product of (A) Fair Market Value, and (B) the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option; or

may be) a notice in writing indicating the Company’s intention to exercise the Repurchase Option and the number of Repurchase Shares
to be transferred pursuant to the exercise of such Repurchase Option, and setting forth a date for closing (1) not earlier than thirty
(30) days from the personal delivery or mailing of such notice, and (2) not later than twelve (12) months following the date the
Participant experienced a Termination of Service. The closing shall take place at the Company’s office or such other place as the
parties may mutually agree. At the closing, the holder of the certificates for the Repurchase Shares being transferred shall deliver the
stock certificate(s) evidencing such Repurchase Shares, and the Company shall deliver the Repurchase Price therefor. The parties
hereto agree that the unpaid principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest under, any Promissory Note related to the Participant’s
Share Purchase Agreement shall be automatically offset, to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, on a dollar-for-dollar basis,
against the Repurchase Price to be paid by the Company to the Participant. The parties hereto agree that the amount offset shall be treated
as paid by the Company to the Participant and thereafter paid by the Participant to the Company under the Promissory Note, to be applied
first to accrued but unpaid interest, and the balance to the principal of the Promissory Note.


 


(d)           Expiration
of Repurchase Option. The Repurchase Option shall expire as to any Repurchase Shares that the Company does not elect to purchase within

respect to any Shares acquired pursuant to this Program. Nothing contained in this Program, any Award Agreement, or any Share Purchase

with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate a Participant’s services.


 


		11.	TRANSFERABILITY OF SHARES



 


(a)           Notwithstanding
any provision of this Program or any other agreement, all Transfers of Shares must be in compliance with the restrictions of the Stockholders’
Agreement. In addition, no Shares acquired pursuant to this Program may be Transferred without the written approval of the Company prior
to the earlier of a Change of Control or an IPO. Any attempted Transfer of any Shares in breach of this Program or the Stockholders’
Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.


 


(b)           Upon
a Change of Control, Shares acquired pursuant to this Program may only be Transferred if the following conditions are met: (i) within
two years of the date of the Change in Control, the Participant may only Transfer up to that portion of the Shares for which he/she receives
consideration equal to the sum of (A) the full amount of principal and accrued interest then due under the Promissory Note, and (B) any
taxes the Participant is required to pay with respect to the Shares; and (ii) all Transfers must be in transactions registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration.


 



    11


     


    

 


(c)           Upon
an IPO, Shares acquired pursuant to this Program may only be Transferred if the following conditions are met: (i) within two years
of the date of the IPO, the Participant may only Transfer up to that portion of the Shares for which he receives consideration equal to

is required to pay with respect to the Shares; (ii) all Transfers must be in transactions registered under the Securities Act of
1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration; and (iii) to the extent the Company has agreed to restrict transfers of the
Shares in connection with the IPO pursuant to a “lock-up agreement” or similar arrangement, the terms of such agreement have
been satisfied. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Company may, within 30 days prior to the date of the IPO, make an offer to Participant
to repurchase any or all of Participant’s Shares for an amount equal to the per Share price to be paid in the IPO, provided the
Participant shall be given at least 10 days to consider such offer.


 


(d)           If
Participant shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing
a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase, or reduction of equity or issued in connection with any reorganization),
option or rights, share dividend, restricted share grant, or other issuance of equity in the Company from and after the date such Shares
are acquired, whether as an addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for any Shares or otherwise, Participant agrees that such
distribution shall be subject to the terms of this Program; and in case any distribution of stock shall be made on or in respect of the
Shares pursuant to any recapitalization or reclassification of the equity of the issuer thereof or pursuant to any reorganization of the
issuer thereof, the stock so distributed shall be subject to the terms hereof.


 


		12.	ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR A CHANGE OF CONTROL



 


(a)            Adjustment
Clause. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend, split,
spinoff, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, extraordinary dividend, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, or other equity restructuring within
the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, Stock Compensation (formerly,
FASB Statement 123R), appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which awards may
be made under the Program pursuant to Section 5; (ii) the terms and the number of Shares of any outstanding Award Stock; and
(iii) the share limitations which may be made under the Program pursuant to Section 5. The Committee shall also make appropriate
adjustments described in (i)-(iii) of the previous sentence in the event of any distribution of assets to stockholders other than
a normal cash dividend. Adjustments, if any, and any determination or interpretations, made by the Committee shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall be deemed to have been effected for adequate consideration.
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class or securities convertible into shares of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award Stock
Grant.


 



    12


     


    

 


(b)           Section 409A
Provisions with Respect to Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) any adjustments made pursuant to this Section to
Awards that are considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall be made in compliance
with the requirements of Code Section 409A unless the Participant consents otherwise; (ii) any adjustments made to Awards that
are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that
after such adjustment, the Awards either continue not to be subject to Code Section 409A or comply with the requirements of Code
Section 409A unless the Participant consents otherwise; and (iii) the Committee shall not have the authority to make any adjustments
under this Section to the extent that the existence of such authority would cause an Award Stock Grant that is not intended to be
subject to Code Section 409A to be subject thereto.


 


		13.	TAX WITHHOLDING



 


Participant shall pay to the
Company promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Participant recognizes taxable income in respect of the Shares issued
pursuant to an Award Stock Grant (or, if Participant makes an election under Code Section 83(b) in connection with such grant),
an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, and local withholding taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under
applicable tax laws with respect to the Shares. The minimum withholding of such sums come from cash payment by the Participant, compensation
otherwise due to the Participant or from any Shares due to the Participant under this Program, or any combination of the foregoing, provided
that the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total minimum federal, state and local tax withholding obligations associated with the
transaction to the extent needed for the Company to avoid an accounting charge.


 


		14.	CLAWBACK/RECOVERY



 


The Company may recover the
value of any Award under this Program if the Participant violates the terms of a non-solicitation agreement. In addition, all Awards granted
under the Program will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any written claw back policy that the Company may adopt, whether such
policy is specifically required to be adopted pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on
which the Company’s securities are listed, is otherwise specifically required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act or other applicable law, or is adopted at the Board’s discretion. In addition, the Administrator may impose such
other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Administrator determines necessary or appropriate, including,
but not limited to, a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares of Stock or other cash or property upon the occurrence
of Cause.


  


		15.	AMENDMENT OF THE PROGRAM AND AWARDS



 


(a)           The
Board may at any time, and from time to time, modify or amend the Program in any respect, prospectively or retroactively. No such termination,
modification or amendment may materially adversely affect the rights of a Participant under an outstanding Award Stock Grant without the
written permission of such Participant.


 



    13


     


    




 


(b)           The
Administrator may amend any Award Agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided, however, that no such amendment shall adversely
affect the rights of any Participant under an outstanding Award Stock Grant without the written consent of such Participant, nor shall
such amendment have any tax, accounting or regulatory effect.


 


		16.	RIGHT OF OFFSET



 


The Company will have the
right to offset against its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock (or other property) under the Program or any Award Agreement
any outstanding amounts (including, without limitation, documented travel and entertainment or advance account balances, loans, repayment
obligations under any Awards, or amounts repayable to the Company pursuant to tax equalization, housing, automobile or other employee
programs) that the Participant then owes to the Company on a past due basis, and any amounts the Committee otherwise deems appropriate
pursuant to any tax equalization policy or agreement; provided, however, that no such offset shall be permitted if it would constitute
an “acceleration” of a payment hereunder within the meaning of Code Section 409A. This right of offset shall not be an
exclusive remedy and the Company’s election not to exercise the right of offset with respect to any amount payable to a Participant
shall not constitute a waiver of this right of offset with respect to any other amount payable to the Participant or any other remedy.


 


		17.	NOTICES; ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND SIGNATURES



 


(a)           Every
notice or other communication relating to this Program shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom
it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by him in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party. Unless
and until some other address is so designated, all notices or communications by Participant to the Company shall be mailed or delivered
to the Company at 800 Gessner, Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77024, Attention: Legal Department, and all notices or communications by
the Company to Participant shall be mailed or delivered to Participant’s address specified in the Company’s records.


 


(b)           Any
reference in a Share Purchase Agreement, Award Agreement, or the Program to a written document includes without limitation any document
delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s or an Affiliate’s intranet or other shared electronic medium controlled
by the Company or an Affiliate.


 


(c)           The
Committee and any Participant may use facsimile and PDF signatures in signing any Share Purchase Agreement (including any ancillary documents
attached thereto), Award Agreement (including any ancillary documents attached thereto), or in any other written document in the Program’s
administration. The Committee and each Participant are bound by facsimile and PDF signatures, and acknowledge that the other party relies
on facsimile and PDF signatures.


 



    14


     


    

 


		18.	EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN



 


The Program shall become effective
immediately upon the Effective Date.


 


		19.	TERMINATION OF THE PROGRAM



 


The right to grant Awards
under the Program will terminate 10 years after the earlier of: (i) the date the Program is adopted by the Board; or (ii) the
Effective Date. The Board has the right to suspend or terminate the Program at any time, provided that no such action will, without the
consent of a Participant, adversely affect a Participant’s rights under an outstanding Award.


 


		20.	APPLICABLE LAW; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; VENUE



 


(a)           The
Program will be administered in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas and applicable federal law. Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Program, the Company shall have no liability to issue any Shares under the Program unless such issuance would comply with all applicable
laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity. Prior to the issuance of any Shares under the Program,
the Company may require a written statement that the recipient is acquiring the shares for investment and not for the purpose or with
the intention of distributing the shares.


 


(b)           To
the maximum extent practicable, to the extent any action taken with respect to this Program calls for performance, such action shall be
performed at the offices of the Company in Houston, Harris County, Texas and venue for any dispute arising with respect to the Program
shall lie exclusively in the state and/or federal courts of Harris County, Texas and the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division,
respectively.


 


		21.	PROHIBITION ON DEFERRED COMPENSATION



 


It is the intention of the
Company that the Award Stock Grants granted under the Program are considered a transfer of property for purposes of Code Section 83.
In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(a)(2), the Committee shall require all Award Stock Grants that are secured
by indebtedness to require personal liability to pay all or a substantial part of such indebtedness. Accordingly, no Award Stock Grant
shall be “deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A and the Program and the terms and conditions of all Award
Stock Grants shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Award Stock Grant issued under
the Program that is determined by the Committee to constitute a deferral of compensation under a “nonqualified deferred compensation
plan” as defined under Code Section 409A(d)(1) shall be modified or cancelled to comply with the requirements of Code
Section 409A, including any rules for elective or mandatory deferral of the delivery of Shares pursuant thereto.


 


		22.	NO GUARANTEE OF TAX TREATMENT



 


Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, a Participant shall be solely responsible for the taxes relating to the grant or vesting of, or payment pursuant to,
any Award, and none of the Company, the Board or the Committee (or any of their respective members, officers or employees) guarantees
any particular tax treatment with respect to any Award.

8.             Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas without regard to the
conflicts of laws principles thereof.


 


9.             Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors, and
assigns of each of the parties.

Except as otherwise provided in this Note or any
Loan Document, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given, when personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed
notice, when duly deposited in overnight mail, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.


 


Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, no provisions of this Note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of
the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this
Note or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Participant
nor the sureties, guarantors, successors or assigns of Participant shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest, or any
other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any reason interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required or permitted by any court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as
a payment and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by this Note; and, if the principal amount hereof has been paid in
full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Participant. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds
the Maximum Rate, Participant and Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note so that the interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.


 


Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, the holder hereof may, at its option, (i) declare the entire unpaid principal of and accrued interest on this Note
immediately due and payable without notice, demand or presentment, all of which are hereby waived, and upon such declaration, the same
shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, (ii) foreclose the security interests created by the Security Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (iii) offset against this Note any sum or sums owed by the holder hereof to Participant, and (iv) take
any and all other actions available to Company under this Note, at law, in equity or otherwise. Failure of the holder hereof to exercise
any of the foregoing options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same upon the occurrence of a subsequent Event
of Default.

In the event that any amount
payable under this Agreement is treated as “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”), this Agreement shall be construed in such a manner so as to comply
with the requirements of Code Section 409A. If any provision of this Agreement would cause Participant to occur any additional tax
under Code Section 409A, the parties will in good faith attempt to reform the provision in a manner that maintains, to the extent
possible, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A. Participant shall
be solely responsible for any taxes, interests or penalties that Participant may incur under Code Section 409A.


 


If the holder hereof expends
any effort in any attempt to enforce payment of all or any part or installment of any sum due the holder hereunder, or if this Note is
placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceedings, Participant agrees to pay all
costs, expenses, and fees incurred by the holder, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees.


 


THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS NOTE
IS PERFORMABLE IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS.


 


Participant and each surety,
guarantor, endorser, and other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable on this Note jointly and severally waive notice,
presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate,
notice of intent to demand, diligence in collecting, grace, and all other formalities of any kind, and consent to all extensions without
notice for any period or periods of time and partial payments, before or after maturity, and any impairment of any collateral securing
this Note, all without prejudice to the holder. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way, at any time, with one or
more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other party, and to grant any such party any extensions of time for payment of any
of said indebtedness, or to release or substitute part or all of the collateral securing this Note, or to grant any other indulgences
or forbearances whatsoever, without notice to any other party and without in any way affecting the personal liability of any party hereunder.

HEREOF AND THEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL,

(a)            to
demand, sue for, collect, or receive in the name of Participant or in his/her own name, any money or property at any time payable or receivable
on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral and, in connection therewith, endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money
orders, or any other instruments for the payment of money under the Collateral;


 


(b)           to
pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;


 


(c)            (i) to
direct any parties liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder
directly to Secured Party or as Secured Party shall direct; (ii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims,
and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) to sign and endorse any

or other designated agency upon such terms as Secured Party may determine; (v) to insure any of the Collateral; and (vi) to
sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though
Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Party’s option and Participant’s expense,
at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve, or realize upon the Collateral
and Secured Party’s security interest therein.


 


This power of attorney is
a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Secured Party shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of
any of the rights, powers, privileges, and options expressly or implicitly granted to Secured Party in this Agreement, and shall not be
liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Secured Party shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of
judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or in its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting
from its willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on Secured Party solely to protect, preserve, and realize upon its security
interest in the Collateral.

Party on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by this Agreement.

Section 4.4.        Secured
Party’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care in the physical custody of the Collateral while held by

or any matter or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation or duty to collect any sums
due in respect thereof or to protect or preserve any rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, it being understood
and agreed that Participant shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Secured Party shall be conclusively deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral if Secured
Party takes such action, for purposes of preserving rights in the Collateral, as Participant may reasonably request in writing, but no
failure or omission or delay by Secured Party in complying with any such request by Participant, and no refusal by Secured Party to comply
with any such request by Participant, shall be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care.


 


Section 4.5.        Assignment

portion thereof, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of Secured Party under this Agreement in relation

Party may declare the Obligations or any part thereof immediately due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor,
notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by Participant; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under clause (e) or
clause (f) of the definition of Event of Default contained in the Note, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable
without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand,
protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Participant.


 



    17


     


    





 


(b)           In
addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Secured Party in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing, or relating to the Obligations, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party may (i) without demand or notice to Participant, collect, receive,
or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and/or (ii) sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof,
in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for
future delivery. Participant agrees that Secured Party shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days written notice of the
time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable
notice of such matters. Participant shall be liable for all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, or the like, and all attorneys’
fees and other expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the collection of the Obligations and the enforcement of Secured
Party’s rights under this Agreement, all of which expenses and fees shall constitute additional Obligations secured by this Agreement.
Secured Party may apply the Collateral against the Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party may elect in its sole discretion.
Participant shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay
the Obligations. Participant waives all rights of marshalling in respect of the Collateral.


 


(c)           Secured
Party may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of Secured Party or the name or names of Secured
Party’s nominee or nominees.


 


(d)           Secured
Party shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends payable in respect of the Collateral.


 


(e)           Secured
Party shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, exercise or cause to be exercised all voting rights and corporate powers in
respect of the Collateral, and Participant shall deliver to Secured Party, if requested by Secured Party, irrevocable proxies with respect
to the Collateral in form satisfactory to Secured Party.


 


(f)            Participant
hereby acknowledges and confirms that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws and may be compelled to
resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to
acquire any shares of the Collateral for their own respective accounts for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof.
Participant further acknowledges and confirms that any such private sale may result in prices or other terms less favorable to the seller
than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have
been made in a commercially reasonable manner, and Secured Party shall be under no obligation to take any steps in order to permit the
Collateral to be sold at a public sale. Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for any period
of time necessary to permit any issuer thereof to register such Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or under applicable state securities laws.


 


(g)           On
any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is necessary,
in the view of Secured Party’s counsel, in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval
of the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable governmental authority.


 


(h)           On
any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is authorized to disclaim any warranty, express or implied. Participant acknowledges and agrees
that the foregoing action by Secured Party may result in a diminution of the proceeds from any such sale of Collateral.

    24


     


    

 


2.             Restrictions.





 


(a)            Upon
any breach by Participant of the Non-Solicitation Agreement, (i) any Award Stock (whether vested or unvested) then held by Participant

with respect to such forfeited Award Stock and (ii) the amount of any pre-tax tax gain realized by Participant on any prior transfers

law or to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of the Award Stock to comply with any law or regulation
of any governmental authority.


 


4.             Tax

(a)            Participant

any federal, state, and local income, employment, Social Security, Medicare, and other taxes that the Company is required to withhold
in connection with the Award Stock, including, but not limited to, the issuance, vesting, or disposition of the Award Stock. The Company
shall have the right to, at its option: (i) deduct any such taxes from any amounts paid to Participant by the Company or any subsidiary

and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Participant, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the
waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power,
or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by law, (i) no waiver that may be given by a party shall be applicable except in the
specific instance for which it was given, and (ii) no notice to or demand on one party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation

    25


     


    




 


6.             No
Right to Continued Service. This Award Agreement does not confer upon Participant any right to remain in the employ of the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company, nor shall it interfere in anyway with the right of the Company and its subsidiaries to terminate or
change the conditions of his/her employment at any time.


 


7.             Successors
and Assigns; Binding Effect. This Award Agreement, and the rights and obligations of Participant hereunder, may not be assigned
by Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. All of the terms and provisions of this Award Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective executors, heirs, personal representatives, successors,
and permitted assigns.


 


8.             Entire
Agreement. The Program, this Award Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein set forth the entire understanding of
the parties hereto with respect to the grant of the Award Stock to Participant. Any and all previous agreements and understandings between
or among the parties regarding the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, are superseded by this Award Agreement.


 


9.             Severability.
Any provision of this Award Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any applicable jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent
of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


10.           Section 409A.
The shares of Award Stock subject to this Award Agreement are not intended to be subject to Code Section 409A. To the extent that
any portion of the shares of Award Stock, or any payment made pursuant to an agreement is aggregated with the payments made under this
Award Agreement, constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, this Award Agreement
shall be construed in such a manner so as to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. If any provision of this Award Agreement
would cause Participant to incur any additional tax under Code Section 409A, the parties will in good faith attempt to reform the
provision in a manner that maintains, to the extent possible, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions
of Code Section 409A.

NON-SOLICITATION
AGREEMENT


 


This NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT
(the “Non-Solicitation Agreement”) is entered into effective as of the __ day of ______, 201_, by and between ______________
(“Participant”) and HOUSTON INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE GROUP, LTD., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
This Non-Solicitation Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the Houston International Insurance Group, Ltd.
2016 Equity Incentive Program (the “Program”). Any capitalized term not defined in this Non-Solicitation Agreement shall have
the definition provided by the Program.


 


In consideration of the mutual
agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


 


ARTICLE I


 


NON-SOLICITATION


 


Section 1.1         Non-Solicitation.
In consideration of these premises and as inducement for the Company to enter into this Non-Solicitation Agreement and the Company’s
directive that the Employer (which may include the Company) provide the Participant with access to the confidential and proprietary information
of the Employer and with training in the methods of operations of the Employer, subject to the limitations set forth herein, Participant
agrees to each of the following restrictions for the time periods as specified below:


 


(a)           Restricted
Business Relations. During Participant’s employment with the Company and for an additional period of twenty four (24) months
following any termination of such employment, Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, either for her/himself or any other person,
other than on behalf of the Company, entice, induce, persuade, attempt to persuade or otherwise cause the Company’s customers, service
providers, producers or brokers to terminate, reduce or diminish their relationship with the Company, including accepting any business
from any customer who was a customer of the Company’s within twelve (12) months of Participant’s termination. This Section 1.1(a) applies
to business and relationships related to the Division or programs in which Participant worked, but does not apply to any subscription
business.


 


(b)           Non-Solicitation
of Employees. During Participant’s employment with the Employer and for an additional period of twenty four (24) months
following any termination of such employment, Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, either for herself or any other person: (i) induce
or attempt to induce any then current employee of the Employer or any of its direct or indirect parents or subsidiaries or entities under
common control with the Employer (collectively, “Affiliates”) to leave the employ of the Employer or its Affiliates; (ii) in
any way interfere with the relationship between the Employer or its Affiliates and any then current employee of the Employer or its Affiliates;
or (iii) other than on behalf of the Employer or its Affiliates, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor,
consultant, or otherwise, any current employee or any former employee who was employed by the Employer or its Affiliates during Participant’s
tenure with the Employer.


 






    28


     


    

 


(c)           Non-Disparagement.
During Participant’s employment with the Employer and at all times thereafter, Participant shall not, except as required by applicable
law or compelled by legal process, (i) make any derogatory, disparaging or critical statement about the Company or any of its present
or former officers, directors, employees, shareholders, parents or subsidiaries, or (ii) without the prior written consent of the
Company, communicate, directly or indirectly, with the press or other media concerning the Company or the present or former employees
or business of the Company.


 


Section 1.2         Remedies.
The Employer shall be a third party beneficiary of the obligations of the Participant hereunder. Participant acknowledges and agrees that
any violation of this Article I will result in irreparable injury to the Company and the Employer and that damages at law would not
be reasonable or adequate compensation to the Company and the Employer for a violation of this Article. Accordingly, in the event that
the Participant breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Article I: (i) the term of such covenant will be extended by
the period of the duration of such breach; (ii) the Company and the Employer will be entitled to receive from the Participant any
and all damages, losses or expenses related thereto or arising therefrom; (iii)(X) any Award Stock (whether vested or unvested) then
held by Participant shall be automatically forfeited and returned to the Company without the payment of any consideration, and Participant
shall have no rights with respect to such forfeited Award Stock; and (Y) the amount of any pre-tax tax gain realized by Participant
on any prior transfers of Award Stock, as determined by the Company in its discretion, or, if applicable, such lesser amount as shall
be determined to be the maximum reasonable and enforceable amount by a court, shall be immediately payable by the Participant to the Company;
and (iv) the Company and the Employer will be entitled to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief to restrain any breach or threatened
breach or otherwise to specifically enforce the provisions of this Article I without the necessity of proving actual damages and
without posting bond or other security as well as to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising out of
any violation of Article I of this Non-Solicitation Agreement.


 


Section 1.3         Set-off
rights. By accepting this Non-Solicitation Agreement, the Participant consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company or
the Employer may owe to the Participant from time to time to the full extent of any monetary amounts due to the Company or the Employer
from the Participant. Without regard to whether the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company or the Employer
does not recover by means of set-off the full amount due to it from the Participant, calculated as set forth above, the Participant agrees
to immediately pay the unpaid balance thereof to the Company or the Employer, as applicable.


 


Section 1.4         Scope.
Participant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of and scope of this Article are reasonable and necessary to protect the
legitimate interests of the Company and the Employer and will not prevent the Participant from earning a livelihood. If, however, for
any reason, any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the restrictions set forth in Section 1.1 are not reasonable, that
the consideration is inadequate, or that Participant has been prevented from earning a livelihood, such restrictions shall be interpreted,
modified, or rewritten to include as much of the duration and scope identified in Section 1.1 as will render such restrictions valid
and enforceable. The obligations of Participant set forth in Article I shall survive any termination of this Non-Solicitation Agreement
and Participant’s employment with Employer.


 






    29


     


    

 


ARTICLE II

2.3           Sale
of Entire Interest. All parties agree that any purchase or sale of all of the Shares of the Participant contemplated by and described
in this Non-Solicitation Agreement and Section 8 of the Program shall constitute a sale and purchase of any and all interest, claim,
title, and right of the Participant and his/her successors and assigns in or to the Company, including, without limitation, the goodwill,
accounts receivable, contract rights, accrued time, and all other property or assets of the Company, tangible or intangible.


 


2.4           Specific
Performance. If any party subject to this Non-Solicitation Agreement fails or refuses to fulfill the obligations required to be
made or delivered by it by this Non-Solicitation Agreement, or to make any payment or deliver any instrument required to be made or delivered
by it by this Non-Solicitation Agreement, then any other party hereto shall have the remedy of specific performance, which remedy shall
be cumulative and nonexclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity to which such party might be entitled.


 


2.5           Attorneys’
Fees. If this Non-Solicitation Agreement, or any part hereof, or any obligation described herein is placed in the hands of an
attorney for collection or enforcement, then the party seeking such enforcement or collection shall be entitled to recover reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses in addition to such collection or enforcement.

Law. This Non-Solicitation Agreement is made pursuant to and shall be construed under the laws of the State of Texas, without

Agreement. The Program, this Non-Solicitation Agreement, the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Note, the Share Purchase Agreement,
the Award Stock Grant Agreement, and that certain Security Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and Participant and other
ancillary documents related thereto constitute the entire agreement of the parties, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings,
or documents, with respect to the subject matter hereof.


 


2.8           Amendment
and Waiver. This Non-Solicitation Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, or cancelled, and any of the terms, provisions,
covenants, representations, warranties, or conditions contained herein may be waived only by a written instrument executed by all parties
hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of any party at any time to require performance of any
provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right to enforce such provision or constitute a continuing waiver of such provision.


 






    30


     


    

 


2.9           Severability.
Subject to Section 1.4, any provision of this Non-Solicitation Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any applicable jurisdiction
shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


2.10         Headings;
Sections. The captions or headings contained in this Non-Solicitation Agreement are inserted and included solely for convenience
