5.7         Conflicts
of Interest. Executive agrees that during his or her employment with the Company he or she will not engage, either directly
or indirectly, in any activity which might adversely affect the Company or its affiliates (a “Conflict of Interest”),
including ownership of a material interest in any supplier, contractor, distributor, subcontractor, customer or other entity with
which the Company does business or acceptance of any material payment, service, loan, gift, trip, entertainment, or other favor
from a supplier, contractor, distributor, subcontractor, customer or other entity with which the Company does business, and that
Executive will promptly inform the Board as to each offer received by Executive to engage in any such activity. Executive further
agrees to disclose to the Company any other facts of which Executive becomes aware which might in Executive’s good faith
judgment reasonably be expected to involve or give rise to a Conflict of Interest or potential Conflict of Interest.


 


5.8         Rights
and Remedies Upon Breach. If Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Section 5, including any provisions
of Exhibit A (the “Restrictive Covenants”), the Company shall have the following rights and remedies,
each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity, including, without limitation,
recovery of money damages and termination of this Agreement:


 


(a)          Specific
Performance. The right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction,
it being agreed that any breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages
would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.


 


(b)          Accounting.
The right and remedy to require Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals,
increments or other benefits derived or received by Executive as the result of any action constituting a breach of the Restrictive
Covenants.


 


(c)          Remedies
For Violation of Non-Competition or Confidentiality Provisions. Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the skills, experience
and contacts of Executive are of a special, unique, unusual and extraordinary character which give them a peculiar value; (ii)
because of the business of the Company, the restrictions agreed to by Executive as to time and area contained in this Section
5 are reasonable; and (iii) the injury suffered by the Company by a violation of this Section 5 will be difficult to
calculate in damages in an action at law and damages cannot fully compensate the Company for any violation of any obligation or
covenant in this Section 5. Executive’s compliance with this Section 5 is a condition precedent to the Company’s
obligation to make payments of any nature to Executive (including, without limitation, payments otherwise payable pursuant to the
LTI Plan).


 


5.9         Materiality
and Conditionality of This Section 5. The covenants contained in this Section 5 are material to this Agreement.
Executive’s agreement to strictly comply with this Section 5 is a precondition for Executive’s receipt
of payments of any nature under this Agreement (including, without limitation, payments otherwise payable pursuant to the LTI Plan).
Whether or not this Section 5 or any portion thereof has been held or found invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever
by a court or other constituted legal authority of competent jurisdiction, upon any violation of this Section 5 or any portion
thereof, or upon a finding that a violation would have occurred if this Section 5 or any portion thereof were enforceable,
Executive and the Company agree that (i) Executive’s interest in unvested awards granted pursuant to the LTI Plan shall automatically
lapse and be forfeited; and (ii) Company shall have no obligation to make any further payments to Executive under this Agreement.


 




    	 	- 6 -	 



     


    

 


5.10       Severability,
Modification of Covenants. The Restrictive Covenants shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and in
the event any of the Restrictive Covenants shall be held by any court to be effective in any particular area or jurisdiction only
if said Restrictive Covenant is modified to be limited in its duration or scope, then, at the sole option of Company, the provisions
of Section 5.12 may be deemed to have been triggered, and the rights, liabilities and obligations set forth therein shall
apply. In the event Company does not elect to trigger application of Section 5.12, then the court shall have such authority
to so reform the covenants and the parties hereto shall consider such covenants and/or other provisions of this Section 5
to be amended and modified with respect to that particular area or jurisdiction so as to comply with the order of such court and,
as to all other jurisdictions, the covenants contained herein shall remain in full force and effect as originally written. Should
any court hold that the covenants in this Section 5 are void and otherwise unenforceable in a particular area or jurisdiction,
then notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.13, the provisions of Section 5.12 shall be applicable
and the rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties set forth therein shall apply. Alternatively, at the sole option of
Company, Company may consider such covenants to be amended and modified so as to eliminate therefrom the particular area or jurisdictions
as to which such covenants are so held void or otherwise unenforceable and, as to all other areas and jurisdictions covered herein,
the covenants contained herein shall remain in full force and effect as originally written.


 


6.           Termination.
In general, on termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, the following amounts will be paid to Executive, or
Executive’s estate, as the case may be:


 


All accrued but unpaid Annual
Salary through the Executive’s last active day of employment, payable in a lump sum within 30 days following Executive’s
termination of employment;


 


Accrued but unused vacation
time, to the extent payment is either required by law or provided for in the Company’s vacation or paid-time-off policy,
as such may be in effect from time to time;


 


Any amounts payable to Executive
under the terms of any employee benefit plans in which Executive was a participant;


 


Reimbursement of any of Executive’s
business expenses not previously reimbursed, to the extent provided for under the Company’s business expense reimbursement
policy; and


 


Any other amounts that determined
to be due under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, or any grants or awards made thereunder.


 




    	 	- 7 -	 



     


    

 


Unless expressly provided
for under this Agreement, no amounts other than those set forth above shall be paid following any termination of Executive’s
employment, including, by way of example, and not limitation, termination of Executive’s employment by reason of the Company
for Cause and resignation and by reason of Executive’s resignation without Good Reason.


 


6.1         Termination
for Cause. The Company has the right, at any time during the Term, subject to all of the provisions hereof, exercisable by
serving notice, effective on or after the date of service of such notice as specified therein, to terminate Executive’s employment
under this Agreement and discharge Executive for Cause.


 


6.2         Termination
without Cause. The Company has the right, at any time during the Term to terminate Executive’s employment without Cause
by providing Executive with notice at least 90 days prior to the effective date of such notice. In the event Executive’s
employment is terminated without Cause, Executive shall be entitled to such benefits as may be provided pursuant to the Company’s
Executive Separation Pay and Change in Control Plan (the “Executive Separation Pay Plan”). The Company shall also have
the right to terminate Executive’s employment without Cause with less than 90 days’ advanced notice, but shall pay,
in addition to anything payable under the Executive Separation Pay Plan, Executive’s Annual Salary as determined for the
period that represents 90 days’ of continued employment, reduced by the period of actual advanced notice of termination provided
by the Company.


 


6.3         Termination
upon Disability. If during the Term Executive experiences a Disability, the Company shall, by written notice to Executive,
terminate Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive shall be entitled to such payments as are provided in the case
of any other termination of employment, and shall also be entitled to a payment corresponding to the value of certain benefits
that were provided to Executive while actively employed. The amount payable in substitution for certain subsidized employee benefits
under this Section 6.3 shall be determined as follows: The monthly value of the Company’s subsidy of Executive’s group
health plan coverage shall be determined by reference to such subsidy as in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination
of employment, and that monthly amount shall be multiplied by twelve (12), which amount shall be paid as a lump sum, net of required
withholding for federal, state and local wage and income taxes.


 


6.4         Resignation
for Good Reason. Executive’s resignation for Good Reason, as set forth below, shall be treated in all respects like a
Termination by the Company without Cause. For these purposes, the following provisions shall be applicable:


 


(a)          The
term “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following:


 


(i)          The
occurrence of any material breach by the Company or any of its affiliates of the terms of this Agreement or of the terms of any
other material agreement between Executive and the Company or any of its affiliates;


 




    	 	- 8 -	 



     


    

 


(ii)         The
Company’s assignment to Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with Executive’s position, including any other
action which results in a material diminution in such status, title, authority, duties or responsibility; or


 


(iii)        The
relocation of Executive’s office to a location more than 35 miles outside Executive’s office location as agreed at
time of execution of Agreement.


 


(b)          In
order for Executives resignation to be deemed to be for Good Reason, Executive must provide written notice to the Company specifying
the event or condition claimed to constitute Good Reason for Executive’s resignation within sixty (60) days following the
initial existence of such event or condition, the Company must, thereafter, have failed to have cured or corrected such event or
condition within sixty (60) days following receipt of the initial notice from Executive and Executive must, then resign from employment
and separate from service with the Company no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the Company’s sixty (60) day cure
period.


 


6.5         Resignation
without Good Reason. Executive may resign and any time without Good Reason. It is understood that Executive shall provide the
Company with ninety (90) days’ notice of his or her intent to resign; provided, however, that in such a situation the Company
reserves the right to terminate Executive’s employment at any time after receipt of such notice but shall continue to pay
Executive’s base Annual Salary for the remainder of the ninety (90) day period following the Company’s termination
of Executive’s employment. Such an early termination of employment by the Company shall not be deemed to be an involuntary
termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.


 


7.           Section
409A; Certain Excise Taxes.


 


7.1         In-kind
Benefits and Reimbursements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Company policy with respect
to such payments, in-kind benefits and reimbursements provided under this Agreement during any tax year of Executive shall not
affect in-kind benefits or reimbursements to be provided in any other tax year of Executive and are not subject to liquidation
or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, reimbursement requests must be timely
submitted by Executive and, if timely submitted, reimbursement payments shall be made to Executive as soon as administratively
practicable following such submission in accordance with the Company’s policies regarding reimbursements, but in no event
later than the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. This Section
shall only apply to in-kind benefits and reimbursements that would result in taxable compensation income to Executive.


 


7.2         Specified
Employee Rule. To the extent applicable, any payments to Executive called for under this Agreement or under the terms of any
other plan, agreement or award, that are determined to be payments of deferred compensation to which Code Section 409A is applicable
and that are paid by reason of the Executive’s separation from service, shall be delayed, to the extent necessary, to avoid
a violation of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). In general, this Section 7.2 may require that payments of nonqualified deferred compensation
to the Executive that would otherwise be made within six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service shall be
paid on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following Executive’s separation from service if Executive is determined
to be a “specified employee” as that term is defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and related Treasury Regulations.


 




    	 	- 9 -	 



     


    

 


7.3         Certain
Excise Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “disqualified individual”
(as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other
payments and benefits which Executive has the right to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, would constitute a “parachute
payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement shall
be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by Executive from
the Company and its affiliates will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Executive’s “base amount” (as
defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by Executive shall be subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position
to Executive (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The
reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid
in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit
that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made
first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order. The determination as to whether
any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by the Company in good
faith. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided and through error or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated
with other payments and benefits from the Company (or its affiliates) used in determining if a “parachute payment”
exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Executive’s base amount, then Executive shall immediately repay
such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall require
the Company to be responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, Executive’s excise tax liabilities
under Section 4999 of the Code.


 


8.           Indemnification.


 


8.1         General.
The Company agrees that if Executive is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact
that Executive is or was a trustee, director or officer of the Company, or any predecessor to the Company (including any sole proprietorship
owned by Executive) or any of their affiliates or is or was serving at the request of the Company, any predecessor to the Company
(including any sole proprietorship owned by Executive), or any of their affiliates as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee
or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including,
without limitation, service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action
in an official capacity as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent while serving as a trustee, director, officer,
member, employee or agent, Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by
Texas or Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all Expenses incurred or suffered by Executive in
connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if Executive has ceased to be an officer, director,
trustee or agent, or is no longer employed by the Company and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.


 




    	 	- 10 -	 



     


    

 


8.2         Enforcement.
If a claim or request under this Section 8 is not paid by the Company or on its behalf, within 30 days after a written claim
or request has been received by the Company, Executive may at any time thereafter bring an arbitration claim against the Company
to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or request and if successful in whole or in part, Executive shall be entitled to be paid
also the expenses of prosecuting such suit. All obligations for indemnification hereunder shall be subject to, and paid in accordance
with, applicable Texas or Delaware law.


 


8.3         Partial
Indemnification. If Executive is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some
or a portion of any Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Executive
for the portion of such Expenses to which Executive is entitled.


 


8.4         Advances
of Expenses. Expenses incurred by Executive in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance upon
request of Executive that the Company pay such Expenses, but only in the event that Executive shall have delivered in writing to
the Company (i) an undertaking to reimburse the Company for Expenses with respect to which Executive is not entitled to indemnification
and (ii) a statement of his or her good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company
has been met.


 


8.5         Notice
of Claim. Executive shall give to the Company notice of any claim made against Executive for which indemnification will or
could be sought under this Agreement. In addition, Executive shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may
reasonably require and as shall be within Executive’s power and at such times and places as are convenient for Executive.


 


8.6         Defense
of Claim. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Executive notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:


 


(a)          The
Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;


 


(b)          Except
as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Executive, which in the Company’s sole discretion may be regular counsel to the Company and may
be counsel to other officers and directors of the Company or any subsidiary. Executive also shall have the right to employ his
or her own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding if Executive reasonably concludes that failure to do so would involve a conflict
of interest between the Company and Executive, and under such circumstances the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the Company; and

(c)          The
Company shall not be liable to indemnify Executive under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim
effected without its written consent. The Company shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty
that would not be paid directly or indirectly by the Company or limitation on Executive without Executive’s written consent.
Neither the Company nor Executive will unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any proposed settlement.


 


8.7         Non-exclusivity.
The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition
conferred in this Section 8 shall not be exclusive of any other right which Executive may have or hereafter may acquire
under any statute or certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any subsidiary, agreement, vote of shareholders
or disinterested directors or trustees or otherwise.

Agreement, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Executive in connection
with such contest or dispute, but only if Executive prevails to a substantial extent with respect to Executive’s claims brought

and expenses.

Exhibit A


 


Stewart Title Guaranty Company, Stewart
Title Company and Affiliates


Confidentiality, Non-Solicit, and Non-Compete
Agreement


 


This Confidentiality, Non-Solicit, and Non-Compete
Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between the undersigned individual (“I”, “me”, or “Employee”)
and Stewart Title Guaranty Company, Stewart Title Company, or an affiliated company (“Employer”), for the benefit of
Stewart Title Guaranty Company, and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns to or for which Employee provides
services, including Employer (collectively the “Company”). I understand the Company is in the business of providing
global real estate services, including residential and commercial title insurance and closing and settlement services, offering
products and services through its direct operations, network of Stewart Trusted Providers and family of companies, (the Company’s
“Business” or “line of business”), and seeks to employ me in a position of trust and confidence related
to this line of business, and I wish to be employed in such a position. In consideration of my employment and the compensation
and other benefits received as a consequence thereof, and the other mutual promises and representations of the parties made herein,
the parties agree as follows:


 


1.           Position
of Trust and Confidence. In reliance upon the promises made by me in this Agreement, the Company will provide me with access
to Confidential Information (including trade secrets) related to my position, and may also provide me specialized training related
to the Company’s Business and/or the opportunity to develop relationships with the Company’s employees, business contacts
(customers and others) and agents for the purpose of developing goodwill for the Company. I agree that my receipt of the foregoing
would give me an unfair competitive advantage if my activities during employment, and for a reasonable period thereafter, were
not restricted as provided for in this Agreement.


 


2.           Confidential
Information and Company Property. Subject to Paragraph 6, I agree to use Company’s Confidential Information only
in the performance of my duties, to hold such information in confidence and trust, and not to engage in any unauthorized use or
disclosure of such information during my employment and for so long thereafter as such information qualifies as Confidential Information.
“Confidential Information” means an item of information or compilation of information in any form (tangible
or intangible) related to the Company’s Business that I acquire or gain access to during my employment that the Company has
not authorized public disclosure of, and that is not readily available to the public or persons outside the Company. By way of
example and not limitation, Confidential Information is understood to include: lists and records, contact information, private
contract terms, business preferences, and historical transaction data regarding existing and prospective customers; non-public
records and data regarding the Company’s financial performance; business plans and strategies, forecasts and analyses; internal
business methods and systems, know how, and innovations; marketing plans, research and analysis; unpublished pricing information,
and variables such as costs, discounting options, and profit margins; business sale and acquisition opportunities identified by
the Company and related analysis; records of private dealings with vendors, suppliers, and distributors; and Company trade secrets.
I acknowledge that items of Confidential Information are the Company’s valuable assets and have economic value because they
are not generally known by the public or others who could use them to their own economic benefit and/or to the competitive disadvantage
of the Company. I agree that all records, in any form (such as email, database, correspondence, notes, files, contact lists, drawings,
specifications, spreadsheets, manuals, and calendars) that contain Confidential Information or otherwise relate to the Company’s
Business, with the exception of wage and benefit related materials provided to me as an employee for my own use as an employee,
are the property of the Company (collectively “Company Records”). I will follow all Company policies regarding
use or storage of Company Records, and return all such records (including all copies) when my employment with Company ends or sooner
if requested.


 




    	 	- 16 -	 



     


    

 


Confidential Information does not include information
lawfully acquired by a non-management employee about wages, hours or other terms and conditions of employment when used for purposes
protected by §7 of the National Labor Relations Act such as joining or forming a union, engaging in collective bargaining,
or engaging in other concerted activity for mutual aid or protection of laborers. For purpose of clarity, it shall still be a violation
of this Agreement for a non-management employee to wrongfully compete by sharing Confidential Information with a competitor about
other employees’ compensation and benefits which was obtained through the course of employment with the Company for purposes
of assisting such competitor in soliciting Company employees.


 


3.           Protective
Covenants. In order to protect the Company’s Confidential Information (including trade secrets) and key business
relationships, I agree that for a period of one (1) year after my employment ends (irrespective of which party ends the relationship
or why it ends), I will not:


 


(a) solicit any employee of Company that I
gained knowledge of through my employment with Employer (a “Covered Employee”) to leave the employment of the
Company; or, (b) hire, attempt to hire, or assist in hiring any Covered Employee on behalf of a Competing Business; or,


 


(c) solicit, or attempt to solicit a Covered
Customer or Key Relationship (terms separately defined below), as defined below, for the purpose of doing any business that would
compete with the Company’s Business, or (d) knowingly engage in any conduct that is intended to cause, or could reasonably
be expected to cause the Covered Customer or Key Relationship to stop or reduce doing business with the Company, or that would
involve diverting business opportunities away from the Company; or,


 


(e) provide services for the benefit of a Competing
Business within the Territory (terms separately defined below) that are the same or similar in function or purpose to those I provided
to the Employer during the Look Back Period; or


 


(f) take on any other responsibilities for
a Competing Business that would involve the probable use or disclosure of Confidential Information or the conversion of Covered
Customers or Key Relationships to the benefit of a Competing Business or detriment of the Company.


 


Nothing herein is intended or to be construed
as a prohibition against general advertising such as “help wanted” ads that are not targeted at the Company’s
employees. This Agreement is not intended to prohibit: (i) employment with a non-competitive independently operated subsidiary,
division, or unit of a family of companies that include a Competing Business, so long as the employing independently operated business
unit is truly independent and my services to it do not otherwise violate this Agreement; or, (ii) a passive and non-controlling
ownership of less than 2% of the stock in a publicly traded company. Further, nothing herein is intended to preclude conduct protected
by Section 7 of the NLRA such as joining or forming a union, engaging in collective bargaining, or engaging in other concerted
activity for mutual aid and protection.


 




    	 	- 17 -	 



     


    

 


“Competing Business” means
any person or entity that engages in (or is planning to engage in) a business that competes with a portion of the Company Business
that I had involvement with or access to Confidential Information during the last two years of my employment (or such shorter period
of time as I am employed)(the “Look Back Period”). “Covered Customer” means a customer that
I had material business-related contact or dealings with or received Confidential Information about during the Look Back Period.
“Key Relationships” refers to a person or entity with an ongoing business relationship with the Company (including
vendors, agents, and contractors) that I had material business-related contact or dealings with during the Look Back Period. “Territory”
means the geographic territory(ies) assigned to me by Company during the Look Back Period (by state, county, or other recognized
geographic boundary used in the Company’s business); and, if I have no such specifically assigned geographic territory then:
(i) those states and counties in which Company does business that I participated in and/or about which I was provided access to
Confidential Information during the Look Back Period; and, (ii) the state and county where I reside and the states and counties
contiguous thereto. I am responsible for seeking clarification from the Company’s Human Resources department if it is unclear
to me at any time what the scope of the Territory is. State and county references include equivalents.


 


4.           Severability
and Special Remedies. Each of my obligations under this Agreement shall be considered a separate and severable obligation.
If a court determines that a restriction in this Agreement cannot be enforced as written due to an overbroad limitation (such as
time, geography, or scope of activity), the parties agree that the court shall reform or modify the restrictions or enforce the
restrictions to such lesser extent as is allowed by law. If, despite the foregoing, any provision contained in this Agreement is
determined to be void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect. The parties agree that the Company will suffer irreparable harm, in addition to any damages that can be quantified,
by a breach of this Agreement by me. Accordingly, in the event of such a breach or a threatened breach, the Company will be entitled
to all remedies that may be awarded by a Court of competent jurisdiction, recovery of its attorneys’ fees and expenses (including
not only costs of court, but also expert fees, travel expenses, and other expenses incurred), and any other legal or equitable
relief allowed by law.


 


5.           Choice
of Law and Venue. The Parties agree that the law of the State in which the Employee primarily resides and was last employed
by the Employer shall govern the interpretation, application, and enforcement of this Agreement, without regard to any choice of
law rules of that or any other state. All disputes arising out of this Agreement or concerning the interpretation or enforcement
of this Agreement shall be exclusively brought in the state and federal courts covering Harris County, Texas. Employee hereby expressly
consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, for any lawsuit arising
from or relating to this Agreement.


 


6.           Agreement
Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits me from reporting an event that I reasonably and in good faith believe
is a violation of law to the relevant law-enforcement agency (such as the Securities and Exchange Commission or Department of Labor),
requires notice to or approval from the Company before doing so, or prohibits me from cooperating in an investigation conducted
by such a government agency. This may include a disclosure of trade secret information provided that it must comply with the restrictions
in the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (DTSA). The DTSA provides that no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable
under Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made in confidence to a Federal, State,
or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and made solely for the purpose of reporting or
investigating a suspected violation of law; or, (ii) is made in a complaint or other document if such filing is under seal so that
it is not made public. Also, an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation
of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding,
if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as
permitted by court order. To the extent that I am covered by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) because I am
not in a supervisor or management role, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit me from using information I acquire
regarding the wages, benefits, or other terms and conditions of employment at the Company for any purpose protected under the NLRA.
I understand that under the NLRA, covered employees have a right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations,
to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose
of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, and to refrain from any or all of such activities.


 




    	 	- 18 -	 



     


    

 


7.            Intellectual
Property Protection and Assignment. Employee is expected to use his or her inventive and creative capacities for the benefit
of the Employer and to contribute, where possible, to the Employer’s intellectual property in the ordinary course of employment.


 


(a)          Definitions. “Inventions”
mean any inventions, software source code, discoveries, improvements, designs, processes, machines, products, innovations, business
methods or systems, know how, ideas or concepts of commercial value or utility, and related technologies or methodologies, whether
or not shown or described in writing or reduced to practice and whether patentable or not. “Works” mean original works
of authorship, including, but not limited to: literary works (including all written material), mask works, computer programs, formulas,
tests, notes, data compilations, databases, artistic and graphic works (including designs, graphs, drawings, blueprints, and other
works), recordings, models, photographs, slides, motion pictures, and audio visual works; whether copyrightable or not, and regardless
of the form or manner in which documented or recorded. “Trademarks” mean any trademarks, trade dress or names, symbols,
special wording or devices used to identify a business or its business activities whether subject to trademark protection or not.
The foregoing is collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Intellectual Property.”


 


(b)          Inventions
Assignment. I agree to and do hereby grant and assign to Employer or its nominee my entire right, title and interest in and
to all Inventions that are made, conceived, or reduced to practice by me, alone or jointly with others, during my employment with
Employer (whether during working hours or not) that either (i) relate to Employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development of the Employer, or (ii) involve the use or assistance of any tools, time, material, personnel, information,
or facility of the Employer, or (iii) result from or relate to any work, services, or duties undertaken by me for the Employer.


 


(c)          Works
and Trademarks. I recognize that all Works and Trademarks conceived, created, or reduced to practice by me, alone or jointly
with others, during my employment shall to the fullest extent permissible by law be considered the Employer’s sole and exclusive
property and “works made for hire” as defined in the U.S. Copyright Laws for purposes of United States law and the
law of any other country adhering to the “works made for hire” or similar notion or doctrine, and will be considered
the Employer’s property from the moment of creation or conception forward for all purposes without the need for any further
action or agreement by Employee or the Employer. If any such Works, Trademarks or portions thereof shall not be legally qualified
as a works made for hire in the United States or elsewhere, or shall subsequently be held to not be a work made for hire or not
the exclusive property of the Employer, I do hereby assign to Employer all of my rights, title and interest, past, present and
future, to such Works or Trademarks. I will not engage in any unauthorized publication or use of such Company Works or Trademarks,
nor will I use same to compete with or otherwise cause damage to the business interests of the Employer.


 




    	 	- 19 -	 



     


    

 


(d)          Waiver,
License and Cooperation Obligation. It is the purpose and intent of this Agreement to convey to Employer all of the rights
(inclusive of moral rights) and interests of every kind, that I may hold in Inventions, Works, Trademarks and other intellectual
property that are covered by Paragraphs 7 (a) – (c) above (“Company Intellectual Property”), past, present and
future; and, Employee waives any right that Employee may have to assert moral rights or other claims contrary to the foregoing
understanding. It is understood that this means that in addition to the original work product (be it invention, plan, idea, know
how, concept, development, discovery, process, method, or any other legally recognized item that can be legally owned), the Employer
exclusively owns all rights in any and all derivative works, copies, improvements, patents, registrations, claims, or other embodiments
of ownership or control arising or resulting from an item of assigned Intellectual Property everywhere such may arise throughout
the world. The decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Company Intellectual Property is within the Employer's sole
discretion and for the Employer’s sole benefit and no royalty will be due to Employee as a result of the Employer's efforts
to commercialize or market any such invention. In the event that there is any Invention, Work, Trademark, or other form of intellectual
property that is incorporated into any product or service of the Employer that Employee retains any ownership of or rights in despite
the assignments created by this Agreement, then Employee does hereby grant to the Employer and its assigns a nonexclusive, perpetual,
irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide license to the use and control of any such item that is so incorporated and
any derivatives thereof, including all rights to make, use, sell, reproduce, display, modify, or distribute the item and its derivatives.
All assignments of rights provided for in this Agreement are understood to be fully completed and immediately effective and enforceable
assignments by Employee of all intellectual property rights in Company Intellectual Property. When requested to do so by Employer,
either during or subsequent to employment with Employer, Employee will (i) execute all documents requested by Employer to affirm
or effect the vesting in Employer of the entire right, title and interest in and to the Company Intellectual Property at issue,
and all patent, trademark, and/or copyright applications filed or issuing on such property; (ii) execute all documents requested
by Employer for filing and obtaining of patents, trademarks and/or copyrights; and (iii) provide assistance that Employer reasonably
requires to protect its right, title and interest in the Company Intellectual Property, including, but not limited to, providing
declarations and testifying in administrative and legal proceedings with regard to Company Intellectual Property. Power of Attorney:
Employee does hereby irrevocably appoint the Employer as its agent and attorney in fact to execute any documents and take any action
necessary for applications, registrations, or similar measures needed to secure the issuance of letters patent, copyright or trademark
registration, or other legal establishment of the Employer’s ownership and control rights in Company Intellectual Property
in the event that Employee’s signature or other action is necessary and cannot be secured due to Employee’s physical
or mental incapacity or for any other reason.


 


(e)          Records
and Notice Obligations. Employee will make and maintain, and not destroy, notes and other records related to the conception,
creation, discovery, and other development of Company Intellectual Property. These records shall be considered the exclusive property
of the Employer and are covered by Paragraphs 1 and 3 above. During employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Employee
will promptly disclose to the Employer (without revealing the trade secrets of any third party) any Intellectual Property that
Employee creates, conceives, or contributes to, alone or with others, that involve, result from, relate to, or may reasonably be
anticipated to have some relationship to the line of business the Employer is engaged in or its actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development activity.


 




    	 	- 20 -	 



     


    

 


(f)           Prior
Intellectual Property. Employee will not claim rights in, or control over, any Invention, Work, or Trademark as something excluded
from this Agreement because it was conceived or created prior to being employed by Employer (a “Prior Work”) unless
such item is identified on Appendix B and signed by Employee as of the date of this Agreement. Employee will not incorporate any
such Prior Work into any work or product of the Employer without prior written authorization from the Employer to do so; and, if
such incorporation does occur, Employee grants Employer and its assigns a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up,
royalty-free, worldwide license to the use and control of any such item that is so incorporated and any derivatives thereof, including
all rights to make, use, sell, reproduce, display, modify, or distribute the item and its derivatives.


 


(g)         
Notice. To the extent that Employee is a citizen of California and subject to its law, then Employee is notified that the
foregoing assignment shall not include inventions excluded under Cal. Lab. Code § 2870 which provides: “(a) Any provision
in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention
to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using
the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: (1)
relate at the time of concept or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development of the employer; or (2) result from any work performed by the employee for the employer”,
and to the extent Employee is a citizen of and subject to the law of another state which provides a similar limitation on invention
assignments then Employee is notified that the foregoing assignment shall not include inventions excluded under such law (namely,
Delaware Code Title 19 Section 805; Illinois 765ILCS1060/1-3, "Employees Patent Act"; Kansas Statutes Section 44-130;
Minnesota Statutes 13A Section 181.78; North Carolina General Statutes Article 10A, Chapter 66, Commerce and Business, Section
66-57.1; Utah Code Sections 34-39-l through 34-39-3, "Employment Inventions Act"; Washington Rev. Code, Title 49 RCW:
Labor Regulations, Chapter 49.44.140).


 


7.           Survival,
All Duties and At-Will Status Preserved. Nothing in this Agreement limits or reduces any common law or statutory duty I
owe to the Company, nor does this Agreement limit or eliminate any remedies available to the Company for a violation of such duties.
This Agreement will survive the expiration or termination of Employee’s employment with the Company and/or any assignee pursuant
to Paragraph 9 and shall, likewise, continue to apply and be valid notwithstanding any change in the Employee’s duties, responsibilities,
position, or title. Nothing in this Agreement modifies the parties’ at-will employment relationship or limits either party’s
right to end the employment relationship between them.


 


8.           Tolling.
If Employee fails to comply with a timed restriction in this Agreement, the time period for that will be extended by one day for
each day Employee is found to have violated the restriction, up to a maximum of twelve (12) months.


 


9.           Assignment.
This Agreement, including the restrictions on Employee’s activities set forth herein, also apply to any parent, subsidiary,
affiliate, successor and assign of the Company to which Employee provides services or about which Employee receives Confidential
Information. The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement at its sole election without the need for further notice
to or consent by Employee.
