At any time during the
Term of Employment, the Company shall have the right to insure the life of Executive for the sole benefit of the Company, in such
amounts and with such terms, as it may determine. All premiums payable thereon shall be the obligation of the Company. Executive

to the contrary, the payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any nonqualified deferred compensation (within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed until such time as Executive has
also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h), at which time such nonqualified
deferred compensation (calculated as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder) shall be paid (or commence
to be paid) to Executive on the schedule set forth in this Section 8 as if Executive had undergone such termination of employment
(under the same circumstances) on the date of Executive’s ultimate “separation from service.”

death or a termination of Executive’s employment by reason of a Permanent Disability, except as set forth in this Section
8(b), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, Executive’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection with a termination of employment due to death or Permanent
Disability shall be receipt of the amounts and benefits set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 8(b)

by the Company for Cause.


 


(i) The
Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause, effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice

(d) Termination
by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time during the Term of Employment

the extent permissible under the Company’s group health plan and subject to (A) Executive’s timely election of continuation
coverage under COBRA and continued COBRA eligibility and (B) Executive’s continued copayment of premiums at the same level
and cost to Executive as if Executive were an employee of the Company (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee’s
ability to pay premiums with pre-tax dollars), continuation, during the Severance Term (or if earlier, until the date that Executive
becomes eligible to receive any health benefits as a result of subsequent employment or service during the Severance Term, with
Executive being required to inform the Company within one (1) week of becoming eligible for group medical coverage from another
employer), of health benefits provided to Executive and Executive’s dependents immediately prior to such termination, at
the same cost applicable to active employees of the Company; and


 


(v) Accelerated
vesting of any outstanding equity awards which were scheduled to vest within the following one (1) year after such date of Executive’s
termination with any unvested performance-based awards deemed achieved at the greater of actual and target performance.


 


Following such termination of Executive’s
employment by the Company without Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(d), Executive shall have no further rights
to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive’s sole and exclusive
remedy in connection with a termination of employment without Cause shall be receipt of the amounts and benefits set forth in clauses
(i) through (v) of Section 8(d) hereof.


 


(e) Termination
by Executive with Good Reason. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment with Good Reason during the Term of Employment
by providing the Company thirty (30) days’ written notice setting forth in reasonable specificity the event that constitutes
Good Reason, which written notice, to be effective, must be provided to the Company within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of
such event. During such thirty (30) day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right and if not cured within such period,
Executive’s termination will be effective upon the expiration of such cure period, and Executive shall be entitled to the
same payments and benefits as provided in Section 8(d) hereof for a termination by the Company without Cause, subject to
the same conditions on payment and benefits as described in Section 8(d) hereof. Following such termination of Executive’s
employment by Executive with Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(e), Executive shall have no further rights
to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive’s sole and exclusive
remedy in connection with a termination of employment with Good Reason shall be receipt of the amounts and benefits set forth in
clauses (i) through (v) of Section 8(d) hereof.

Company sixty (60) days’ written notice of such termination. In the event of a termination of employment by Executive under
this Section 8(f), Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. In the event of termination of Executive’s
employment under this Section 8(f), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such
date of termination without changing the characterization of such termination as a termination by Executive without Good Reason.
Following such termination of Executive’s employment by Executive without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section
8(f), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.


 


(g) Termination
Due to Non-Renewal of the Term of Employment. In the event that either party terminates this Agreement by a notice of non-renewal
of the then-current Term of Employment, as set forth in Section 2 hereof, Executive shall be entitled only to:


 


(i) The
Accrued Obligations; and


 


(ii) Accelerated
vesting of any outstanding equity awards which were scheduled to vest within the following one (1) year after such date of Executive’s
termination with any unvested performance-based awards deemed achieved at the greater of actual and target performance.


 


Following such termination
of Executive’s employment due to non-renewal of a Term of Employment, except as set forth in this Section 8(g), Executive
shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

receipt of the amounts and benefits set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 8(d); and

of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason within the ninety (90) day period
prior to or the two (2) year period immediately following a Change in Control of the Company, except as set forth in this Section
8(h), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, Executive’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection with a termination of employment by the Company without Cause
or by Executive with Good Reason within the ninety (90) day period prior to or the two (2) year period immediately following a

(i) Release.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to subsection
(d), (e), (g) or (h) of this Section 8 (other than the Accrued Obligations) (collectively, the
“Severance Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon Executive’s execution and delivery to the Company of an
irrevocable Release of Claims in a form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “General
Release”) within sixty (60) days following the date of the Executive’s termination of employment hereunder, and
non-revocation of the General Release (and the expiration of any revocation period contained in such General Release). If Executive
fails to execute and deliver an irrevocable General Release prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, or timely revokes Executive’s
acceptance of such General Release following its execution, Executive shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits. Further,
to the extent that any of the Severance Benefits constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section
409A of the Code, any payment of any amount or provision of any benefit otherwise scheduled to occur prior to the sixtieth (60th)
day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder, but for the condition on executing the General
Release as set forth herein, shall not be made until the first regularly scheduled payroll date following such sixtieth (60th)
day, after which any remaining Severance Benefits shall thereafter be provided to Executive according to the applicable schedule
set forth herein.


 


(j) Repayment
of Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including this Section 8), in the
event that Executive breaches any provision of the Non-Interference Agreement or the General Release, (i) the Severance Benefits
shall immediately terminate, and the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive with respect thereto and (ii) Executive
shall promptly repay all Severance Benefits previously received by Executive or Executive’s dependents to the Company.


 


Section 9. Non-Interference
Agreement.


 


As a condition of Executive’s
employment with the Company and the effectiveness of this Agreement, Executive has, on or prior to the date hereof, executed and
delivered to the Company the Non-Interference Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.


 


Section 10. Representations
and Warranties of Executive.


 


Executive represents
and warrants to the Company that:


 


(a) Executive is
entering into this Agreement voluntarily and that Executive’s employment hereunder and compliance with the terms and conditions
hereof will not conflict with or result in the breach by Executive of any agreement to which Executive is a party or by which Executive
may be bound;


 


(b) Executive has
not violated, and in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company will not violate, any non-solicitation, non-interference,
non-competition, confidentiality or other similar covenant or agreement of a prior employer by which Executive is or may be bound;


 






    7


    


    

 


(c) In connection
with Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will not use or disclose any trade secret, confidential and/or proprietary
information Executive may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer; and


 


(d) None of the
Company, or any other member of the Company Group or any of their respective representatives, has provided any legal advice to
Executive in connection with this Agreement and that Executive has been advised by the Company to seek, and Executive has sought,
legal advice from Executive’s own legal counsel regarding this Agreement.


 


Section 11. Taxes;
Deductions.


 


The Company may withhold
from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment, and social insurance
taxes, as shall be required by law and all required or authorized deductions. Executive acknowledges and represents that the Company
has not provided any tax advice to Executive in connection with this Agreement and that Executive has been advised by the Company
to seek tax advice from Executive’s own tax advisors regarding this Agreement and payments that may be made to Executive
pursuant to this Agreement.


 


Section 12. Set
Off; Mitigation.


 


The Company’s obligation
to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall be subject to set-off, counterclaim,
or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to the Company or any other member of the Company Group; provided, however,
that to the extent any amount so subject to set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment is payable in installments hereunder, such set-off,
counterclaim, or recoupment shall not modify the applicable payment date of any installment, and to the extent an obligation cannot
be satisfied by reduction of a single installment payment, any portion not satisfied shall remain an outstanding obligation of
Executive and shall be applied to the next installment only at such time the installment is otherwise payable pursuant to the specified
payment schedule.


 


Section 13. Additional
Section 409A Provisions.


 


Notwithstanding any provision
in this Agreement to the contrary:


 


(a) Any payment
otherwise required to be made hereunder to Executive at any date as a result of the termination of Executive’s employment
shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the
“Delay Period”). On the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period, Executive shall be
paid, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence,
and any remaining payments not so delayed shall continue to be paid pursuant to the payment schedule set forth herein.


 


(b) Each payment
in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.


 






    8


    


    

 


(c) To the extent
that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred
compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company
no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Executive, (ii)
the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the
amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses
eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided, that the foregoing clause
shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because
such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect.


 


(d) While the payments
and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section
409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest,
or penalties that may be imposed on Executive as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with
Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section
409A of the Code).

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and may be assigned freely by the Company
to any affiliate or successor of the Company (including any purchaser of assets).


 


(b) Executive.
Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by Executive by assignment or otherwise;
provided, however, that if Executive shall die, all amounts then payable to Executive hereunder shall be paid in

to Executive’s estate.


 


(c) No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8(b) or Section 14(a) hereof, nothing expressed or referred
to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Company, the other members of the Company Group and Executive
any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.


 


Section 15. Waiver
and Amendments.


 


Any waiver, alteration,
amendment, or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by Executive
and a duly authorized representative of the Company. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall
be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically
states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. The failure of either party hereto to take any action by reason of any
breach will not deprive such party of the right to take action at any time.


 






    9


    


    

 


Section 16. Severability.



 


If any covenants or such
other provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction,

hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable

(b) Executive
understands that Executive may later discover claims or facts that may be different than, or in addition to, those which Executive
now knows or believes to exist with regards to the subject matter of this Release and the releases in this Section 1, and which,
if known at the time of executing this Release, may have materially affected this Release or Executive’s decision to enter

that Executive hereby waives the right to recover any monetary damages or other relief against any Released Parties to the fullest
extent permitted by law, excepting any benefit or remedy to which Executive is or becomes entitled to pursuant to Section 922 of

of employment, Executive shall immediately return such property to the Company.


 


3. Nondisparagement.
Subject to Section 7(b) below, Executive agrees not to, and to cause any business or entity controlled by Executive not to, (a)
make any statement, written or oral, directly or indirectly, which in any way disparages the Released Parties in any manner whatsoever,

anyone else to disparage or criticize the Released Parties, or put them in a bad light.


 






    Exhibit B to Employment Agreement


    


    

 


4. Continuing
Obligations. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he will comply with all applicable restrictive covenants contained
in this Release, the Employment Agreement, the Non-Interference Agreement and any agreement contemplated by any of the foregoing
at all times, and such provisions are expressly incorporated herein by reference (the “Continuing Obligations”).
Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has not breached any of the Continuing Obligations.


 


5. Consultation/Voluntary
Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the Company has advised Executive of Executive’s right to consult with an
attorney prior to executing this Release. Executive has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Release.
Executive is entering into this Release, knowingly, freely and voluntarily in exchange for good and valuable consideration to which
Executive would not be entitled in the absence of executing and not revoking this Release.


 


6. Review

terms of this Release, although Executive may sign it at any time sooner. Executive has seven (7) calendar days after the date

period, the “ADEA Release Effective Date” shall occur on the eighth calendar day after the date on which

7. Confidentiality;
Permitted Disclosures.


 


(a) Executive
agrees that this Release and the Employment Agreement are confidential and agrees not to disclose any information regarding the
terms of this Release or the Employment Agreement, except to his immediate family and any tax or legal counsel he has consulted
regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by law, and Executive will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose
the same to anyone.


 


(b) Nothing in
this Release or any other agreement or Company policy shall prohibit or restrict Executive or his attorneys from: (i) making any

or as required by law or legal process, including with respect to possible violations of law; (ii) participating, cooperating,
or testifying in any action, investigation, or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency or legislative

nothing in this Release or any other agreement or Company policy prohibits or restricts Executive from initiating communications
with, or responding to any inquiry from, any administrative, governmental, regulatory or supervisory authority regarding any good
faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), Executive will not be held
criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company or
its affiliates that (i) is made (x) in confidence to a Federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly,
or to Executive’s attorney and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or
(ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If Executive files a lawsuit
(not otherwise waived by this Agreement) for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may
disclose the trade secret to Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive
files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties or any other policies of the Company or its affiliates is
intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed
by such section.

of Wrongdoing. Neither this Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Release, shall be deemed or construed
at any time to be an admission by the parties of any improper or unlawful conduct.

Beneficiaries. Executive acknowledges and agrees that all Released Parties are third-party beneficiaries of this Release
and have the right to enforce this Release.

its rights and obligations under this Release at any time to any successor or affiliate.


 


11. Governing
Law. This Release shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, without regard
to the application of any choice-of-law rules that would result in the application of another state’s laws. The parties irrevocably
consent to the jurisdiction of, and exclusive venue in, the state and federal courts in Texas with respect to any matters pertaining
to, or arising from, this Release.


 


12. Savings
Clause. If any term or provision of this Release is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Release or invalidate or render unenforceable
such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Release is invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, this Release shall be enforceable as closely as possible to its intent of providing the Released Parties

CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-INTERFERENCE

AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT


 


This Confidentiality,
Non-Interference and Invention Assignment Agreement (this “NonInterference Agreement”) is made and entered
into as of May 11, 2020, by and between Atlas Technical Consultants LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”),
and the undersigned (the “Executive,” “me,” “my” or “I”),
as a condition of my Employment Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with the Company (the “Employment Agreement”).
In consideration of, as applicable, (x) my employment with the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter payable
to me by the Company and (y) the provision of services to the Company Group (as defined herein), I agree to the terms and conditions
of this Non-Interference Agreement:


 


W I T N E S S E T H:


 


WHEREAS, in
connection with, and as a condition to the Company’s entry into the Employment Agreement, the Company and Executive desire
to enter into this Non-Interference Agreement.


 


NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are mutually acknowledged, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:


 


Section 1. Confidential
Information.


 


(a) Company Group
Information. I acknowledge that, during the course of my employment with or provision of services to the Company, Atlas Technical
Consultants, Inc. or any of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries and successors (collectively, the “Company Group”),
I will have access to information about the Company Group and that my employment with or provision of services to any member of
the Company Group shall bring me into close contact with confidential and proprietary information of the Company Group. In recognition
of the foregoing, I agree, at all times during the term of my employment with or provision of services to any member of the Company
Group and at all times thereafter, to hold in confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company Group, or to disclose
to any Person, firm, corporation, or other entity without written authorization of a duly authorized representative of the Company,
any Confidential Information that I obtain or create. I further agree not to make copies of such Confidential Information except
as authorized by the Company. I understand that “Confidential Information” means information that the Company
Group has or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover, or own, that has value in or to the business of the Company Group
that is not generally known and that the Company Group wishes to maintain as confidential. I understand that Confidential Information
includes, but is not limited to, any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products,
research, or development of the Company Group, or to the technical data, trade secrets, or know-how of the Company Group, including,
but not limited to, research, development or product plans, or other information regarding the products or services and markets
of the Company Group, customer lists, and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company Group on whom I called
or with whom I may become acquainted during the term of my employment or provision of services to the Company Group), software,
developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, drilling plans, acquisition strategies,
marketing, finances, and other business information disclosed by the Company Group either directly or indirectly in writing, orally,
or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other property of the Company Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and subject to Section 10 below, Confidential Information shall not include (i) any of the foregoing items that have become
publicly and widely known through no unauthorized disclosure by me or others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the
item or items involved or (ii) any information that I am required to disclose to, or by, any governmental or judicial authority.


 






    


    


    

 


(b) Permitted
Disclosures. Nothing in this Non-Interference Agreement or any other agreement between the parties or any other policies of
the Company Group shall prohibit or restrict me or my attorneys from: (a) making any disclosure of relevant and necessary information
or documents in any action, investigation, or proceeding relating to this Non-Interference Agreement, or as required by law or
legal process, including with respect to possible violations of law; (b) participating, cooperating, or testifying in any action,
investigation, or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory
organization, and/or pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; or (c) accepting any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission awards. In
addition, nothing in this Non-Interference Agreement or any other agreement between the parties or any other policies of the Company
Group prohibits or restricts me from initiating communications with, or responding to any inquiry from, any regulatory or supervisory
authority regarding any good faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b),
I will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret
of the Company Group that (i) is made (x) in confidence to a Federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly,
or to my attorney and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in
a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If I file a lawsuit for retaliation
by the Company Group for reporting a suspected violation of law, I may disclose the trade secret to my attorney and use the trade
secret information in the court proceeding, if I file any document containing the trade secret under seal, and do not disclose
the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Non-Interference Agreement or any other agreement between the
parties or any other policies of the Company Group is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for
disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section.


 


(c) Former Employer
Information. I represent that my performance of all or any duties, responsibilities, and activities of employment, and my provision
of services to the Company Group has not breached and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information,
knowledge, or data acquired by me in confidence or trust prior or subsequent to the commencement of my employment with or provision
of services to any member of the Company Group, and I will not disclose to any member of the Company Group, or induce any such
Person to use, any developments, or confidential or proprietary information or material I may have obtained in connection with
employment with any prior employer in violation of a confidentiality agreement, nondisclosure agreement, or similar agreement with
such prior employer.

Section 2. Developments.


 


(a) Developments
Retained and Licensed. I have attached hereto, as Schedule A, an executed list describing with particularity all developments,
original works of authorship, improvements, and trade secrets that were created or owned by me prior to the commencement of my
employment (collectively referred to as “Prior Developments”), that belong solely to me or belong to me jointly
with another, that relate in any way to any of the proposed businesses, products, or research and development of the Company Group,
and that are not assigned to the Company hereunder, or if no such list is attached, I represent that there are no such Prior Developments.
If, during any period during which I perform or performed services for the Company Group, both before or after the date hereof
(the “Assignment Period”), whether as an officer, employee, director, independent contractor, consultant, or
agent, or in any other capacity, I incorporate (or have incorporated) into a Company Group product or process a Prior Development
owned by me or in which I have an interest, I hereby grant the Company Group, and the Company Group shall have, a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy, modify,
make derivative works of, use, sell, and otherwise distribute such Prior Development as part of or in connection with such product
or process.


 


(b) Assignment
of Developments. I agree that I will, without additional compensation, promptly make full written disclosure to the Company,
and will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company Group, all developments, original works of authorship, inventions,
concepts, know-how, improvements, trade secrets, and similar proprietary rights, whether or not patentable or registrable under
copyright or similar laws, which I may (or have previously) solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause
to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the Assignment Period, whether or not during regular working hours,
provided they either (i) relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the business of the Company
Group, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company Group; (ii) result from or relate to any work
performed for the Company Group; or (iii) are developed through the use of equipment, supplies, or facilities of the Company
Group, or any Confidential Information, or in consultation with personnel of the Company Group (collectively referred to as “Developments”).
I further acknowledge that all Developments made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the Assignment
Period are “works made for hire” (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) for which I am, in part, compensated
by the compensation payable to me under the Employment Agreement unless regulated otherwise by law, but that, in the event any
such Development is deemed not to be a work made for hire, I hereby assign to the Company Group, or its designee, all my right,
title, and interest throughout the world in and to any such Development.


 


(c) Maintenance
of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Developments made by me (solely or jointly
with others) during the Assignment Period. The records may be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, flow charts, electronic
data or recordings, or any other format. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company Group at
all times. I agree not to remove such records from the Company’s place of business except as expressly permitted by Company
policy, which may, from time to time, be revised at the sole election of the Company for the purpose of furthering the business
of the Company Group.


 






    3


    


    

 


(d) Intellectual
Property Rights. I agree to assist the Company Group, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every way to secure
the rights of the Company Group in the Developments and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks, database rights, domain
names, mask work rights, moral rights, and other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including
the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications,
oaths, assignments, recordations, and all other instruments that the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for, obtain,
maintain, and transfer such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company Group the sole and exclusive right, title,
and interest in and to such Developments, and any intellectual property and other proprietary rights relating thereto. I further
agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall
continue after the termination of the Assignment Period until the expiration of the last such intellectual property right to expire
in any country of the world; provided, however, the Company shall reimburse me for my reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with carrying out the foregoing obligation. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or unavailability
for any other reason to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents
or copyright registrations covering Developments or original works of authorship assigned to the Company Group as set forth above,
then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney
in fact to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications or records and to do all other lawfully
permitted acts to further the application for, or prosecution, issuance, maintenance, and transfer of, patent letters or registrations
thereon with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by me. I hereby waive and irrevocably quitclaim to the Company
Group any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that I now or hereafter have for past, present, or future infringement of any
and all proprietary rights assigned to the Company Group.


 


Section 3. Returning
Company Group Documents. I agree that, at the time of termination of my employment with or provision of services to any member
of the Company Group or at any other time as requested by the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession,
recreate, or deliver to anyone else) any and all Confidential Information and all other documents, materials, information, and
property developed by me pursuant to my employment or engagement with the Company Group or otherwise belonging to the Company Group.
I agree further that any property situated on the Company Group’s premises and owned by the Company Group, including storage
media, filing cabinets, and other work areas, is subject to inspection by personnel of the Company Group at any time with or without
notice.


 


Section 4. Disclosure
of Agreement. As long as it remains in effect, I will disclose the existence of this Non-Interference Agreement to any prospective
employer, partner, co-venturer, investor, or lender prior to entering into an employment, partnership, or other business relationship
with such Person.

Section 5. Restrictions
on Interfering. I acknowledge and agree that the covenants contained in this Section 5 are in addition to, and not in
lieu of, any similar restrictions that may exist in any other agreement between any member of the Company Group and me, as may
be modified, amended, restated or amended and restated from time to time, and to the extent I am a party to such an agreement,
the Company may elect to enforce the covenants contained therein without limiting the Company’s rights to enforce the covenants
contained herein.


 


(a) Non-Competition.
During the period of my employment with or provision of services to the Company Group (the “Employment Period”)
and the Post-Termination Restricted Period, I shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any Person, company,
enterprise, or entity, or as a sole proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, principal, agent, employee or executive,
or in any other capacity or relationship, engage in (or take any preparatory steps to engage in) any Competitive Activities within
the Restricted Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit me from investing in the publicly traded equity
securities of a Person engaged in any Competitive Activities so long as I (i) am not a controlling person of, or a member of a
group which controls, such Person, (ii) do not directly or indirectly own more than one percent (1%) of any class of securities
of such Person and (iii) do not undertake any of the Competitive Activities with respect to such Person and otherwise have no active
participation in the business of such Person.


 


(b) Non-Interference.
During the Employment Period and the Post-Termination Restricted Period, I shall not, directly or indirectly for my own account
or for the account of any other individual or entity, engage in Interfering Activities; provided, however, that if my termination
of employment occurs within the two (2) year period immediately following a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement),
this Section 5(b) shall apply for the period commencing on the date of the termination of the Employment Period and ending
on the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of such date of termination.


 


(c) Definitions.
For purposes of this Non-Interference Agreement:


 


(i) “Business
Relation” shall mean any current or prospective client, customer, licensee, supplier, or other business relation of any
member of the Company Group, or any such relation that was a client, customer, licensee or other business relation within the prior
twelve (12) month period, in each case, with whom I transacted business, or about whom I learned non-public information through
my employment with or provision of services to the Company Group, or who became clients, customers, licensees, suppliers, or other
business relations of the Company Group during my employment with or provision of services to the Company Group, or whose identity
became known to me in connection with my relationship with the Company Group, or employment by any member of the Company Group.


 


(ii) “Competitive
Activities” shall mean, directly or indirectly, owning any interest in, participating in (whether as a director, officer,
employee, member or partner), consulting with, rendering services for (including as an employee), or in any manner engaging in
any business or enterprise that competes with the Company Group.


 


(iii) “Interfering
Activities” shall mean (A) encouraging, soliciting, or inducing, or in any manner attempting to encourage, solicit, or
induce, any Person employed by, or providing consulting services to, any member of the Company Group to terminate such Person’s
employment or services (or in the case of a consultant, materially reducing such services) with the Company Group; (B) hiring any
individual who was employed by any member of the Company Group within the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of such hiring;
or (C) encouraging, soliciting, or inducing, or in any manner attempting to encourage, solicit, or induct, any Business Relation
to cease doing business with, reduce the amount of business conducted with, or alter the terms of the relationship with, the Company
Group, or in any way interfering with the relationship between any such Business Relation and the Company Group.


 






    5


    


    

 


(iv) “Person”
shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, joint-stock company,
trust (charitable or non-charitable), unincorporated organization, or other form of business entity.


 


(v) “Post-Termination
Restricted Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date of the termination of the Employment Period (whether
for any reason or no reason and whether my employment is terminated at the option of the Company or me) and ending on the twelve
(12) month anniversary of such date of termination.


 


(vi) “Restricted
Area” shall mean those designated on Schedule B hereto.


 


(d) Non-Disparagement.
Subject to Section 10 below, I agree that during the Employment Period, and at all times thereafter, I will not, and will
cause each of my affiliates not to, make, publish, or communicate any disparaging or defamatory comments regarding members of the
Company Group or their respective current or former directors, officers, members, partners, employees, customers, suppliers or
direct or indirect owners in any respect or make any comments concerning any aspect of my relationship with the Company Group or
any conduct or events which precipitated any termination of my employment from or engagement with the Company Group.


 


Section 6. Reasonableness
of Restrictions.


 


I
understand that the nature of my position gives me access to and knowledge of Confidential Information and places me in a position
of trust and confidence with the Company Group and that I will benefit from the Company Group’s goodwill. I understand and
acknowledge that the Company invested significant time and expense in developing the Confidential Information and goodwill. I acknowledge
and recognize the highly competitive nature of the Company Group’s business, that access to Confidential Information renders
me special and unique within the Company Group and Company Group’s industry, and that I will have the opportunity
to develop substantial relationships with existing and prospective clients, accounts, customers, consultants, contractors, investors,
and strategic partners of the Company Group during the course of and as a result of my employment with or provision of services
to the Company Group. In exchange for my promises hereunder, the Company Group (a) is providing me with the Employment Agreement
and (b) is promising to provide me, on an as-needed basis based on the Company’s business interests, with Confidential Information,
introductions to, and contact with key customers of the Company Group and specialized training and further. I acknowledge and agree
that such consideration is adequate and sufficient consideration for me to enter into this Non-Interference Agreement. I recognize
and acknowledge that the restrictions and limitations set forth in this Non-Interference Agreement are reasonable and valid in
geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects and are essential to protect the value of the business and assets of
the Company Group. I further acknowledge that the restrictions and limitations set forth in this Non-Interference Agreement will
not materially interfere with my ability to earn a living following the termination of my employment with or provision of services
to the Company Group and that my ability to earn a livelihood without violating such restrictions is a material condition to my
employment with or provision of services to any member of the Company Group.

Section 7. Independence;
Severability; Blue Pencil.


 


Each of the rights enumerated
in this Non-Interference Agreement shall be independent of the others and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other
rights and remedies available to the Company or other members of the Company Group at law or in equity. If any of the provisions
of this Non-Interference Agreement or any part of any of them is hereafter construed or adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable,
the same shall not affect the remainder of this NonInterference Agreement, which shall be given full effect without regard to the
invalid portions. If any of the covenants contained herein are held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration of such
provisions or the area or scope covered thereby, I agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce
the duration, scope, and/or area of such provision to the maximum and/or broadest duration, scope, and/or area permissible by law,
and in its reduced form, said provision shall then be enforceable. Furthermore, a determination in any jurisdiction that this Non-Interference
Agreement, in whole or in part, is invalid or unenforceable shall not in any way affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability
of this Non-Interference Agreement in any other jurisdiction.


 


Section 8. Injunctive
Relief.


 


I
expressly acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of any of the terms and/or conditions set forth in this Non-Interference
Agreement may result in substantial, continuing and irreparable injury to the Company Group. Therefore, I hereby agree that, in
addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company Group, the Company Group shall be entitled to seek injunctive
relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief by a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened
breach of the terms of this Non-Interference Agreement without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result
of such breach or threatened breach or the posting of a bond. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, I acknowledge
and agree that the Post-Termination Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in
Section 5 hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company Group seeks to enforce
such covenants against me if it is ultimately determined that I was in breach of such covenants.


 






    7


    


    

 


Section 9. Cooperation.


 


I agree that, following
any termination of my employment, I will continue to provide reasonable cooperation to the Company and/or other members of the
Company Group and its or their respective counsel in connection with any internal or external claim, charge, audit, contractual
dispute, investigation, administrative proceeding, or litigation relating to any matter that occurred during my employment in which
I was involved, of which I have knowledge or on which I may be a witness. As a condition of such cooperation, the Company shall
reimburse me for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred at the request of the Company with respect to my compliance
with this Section 9 in accordance with Company policy regarding business expenses. I also agree that, in the event I am
subpoenaed by any Person or entity (including, but not limited to, any government agency) to give testimony or provide documents
(in a deposition, court proceeding, or otherwise), that in any way relates to my employment with or provision of services to the
Company Group, I will give prompt notice of such request to the Company and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, will make
no disclosure until the Company has had a reasonable opportunity to contest the right of the requesting Person or entity to such
disclosure. I shall not encourage, counsel or assist any nongovernmental attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution
of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges or complaints by any non-governmental third party against any member
of the Company Group.


 


Section 10. Response
to Subpoena, Court Order or Other Legal Process.


 


Nothing in this Non-Interference
Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company, Executive or their respective attorneys from: (a) making any disclosure of relevant
and necessary information or documents in any action, investigation, or proceeding relating to this Non-Interference Agreement,
or as required by law or legal process, including with respect to possible violations of law; or (b) participating, cooperating,
or testifying in any action, investigation, or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency or legislative
body, any self-regulatory organization, and/or pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; provided that, to the extent permitted by law,
upon the Company’s or Executive’s receipt of any subpoena, court order, or other legal process compelling the disclosure
of any such information or documents, such party agrees to give prompt written notice by hand delivery to the other party, and
wait at least ten (10) days before responding to such subpoena, court order or other legal process, in order to permit such party
to protect the interests in confidentiality to the fullest extent possible. In addition, nothing in this Non-Interference Agreement
prohibits or restricts Executive or the Company from initiating communications with, or responding to any inquiry from, any regulatory
or supervisory authority regarding any good faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation.


 


Section 11. General
Provisions.


 


(a) Governing
Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION,
CONSTRUCTION, AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS NON-INTERFERENCE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AND THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SUBMITS TO THE
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF THE ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY
SUCH COURT AND AGREES NOT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY OTHER COURT. BY
EXECUTION OF THIS NON-INTERFERENCE AGREEMENT, I HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR
PROCEEDING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NON-INTERFERENCE AGREEMENT. I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT I HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS Section
11(a) KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH MY LEGAL COUNSEL. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS NON-INTERFERENCE
AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, I UNDERSTAND THAT MY AGREEMENT TO THIS Section 11(a)
IS NOT A CONDITION TO MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY.

(b) Entire Agreement.
Except as set forth in the Employment Agreement and any other documents contemplated by the foregoing, this Non-Interference Agreement
sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and merges all
prior discussions, negotiations, representations, proposals, agreements and understandings of every kind and nature between us.
The parties represent that, in executing this Non-Interference Agreement, each party has not relied upon any representation or
statement made by the other party, other than those set forth in this Non-Interference Agreement, with regard to the subject matter,
basis, or effect of this Non-Interference Agreement. No modification or amendment to this Non-Interference Agreement, nor any waiver
of any rights under this Non-Interference Agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged. No
waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Non-Interference Agreement by the other party, or of compliance with
any condition or provision of this Non-Interference Agreement to be performed by such other party, will operate or be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party or any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any
subsequent time. The failure of either party hereto to take any action by reason of any breach will not deprive such party of the
right to take action at any time. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, obligations, rights, or compensation will not
affect the validity or scope of this Non-Interference Agreement.


 


(c) No Right
of Employment. I acknowledge and agree that nothing contained herein shall be construed as granting me any right to continued
employment with or provision of services to the Company Group, and the right of the applicable member of the Company Group to terminate
my employment with or provision of services to the Company Group at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, is specifically
reserved.


 


(d) Successors
and Assigns. This Non-Interference Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, and other legal representatives
and will be for the benefit of each of the Company and its successors and assigns. I shall not assign any rights, or delegate or
subcontract any obligations, under this Non-Interference Agreement. I expressly acknowledge and agree that this Non-Interference
Agreement may be assigned without my consent to any other member of the Company Group, as well as any successor of the Company,
including any purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.


 


(e) Survival.
The provisions of this Non-Interference Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment with or provision of services
to any member of the Company Group and/or the assignment of this Non-Interference Agreement by the Company to any successor in
interest or other assignee.


 


(f) Counterparts.
This Non-Interference Agreement may be executed simultaneously in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of
which shall constitute one and the same agreement. A faxed, .pdf-ed or electronic signature shall operate the same as an original
signature.
