	II.	AGREEMENT 

 1. Grant of
Option. 
 (a) The Administrator hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the
“Optionee”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 14(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and
conditions of the Plan shall prevail. 
 (b) If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option
(“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be
treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). 
 2. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be
exercisable during its term in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan as follows: 
 (a) Right to
Exercise. 
 (i) Subject to subsections 2(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iii) below, this Option shall be exercisable cumulatively
according to the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant. Alternatively, at the election of the Optionee, this Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time as to Shares that have not yet vested. Vested Shares shall not be
subject to the Company’s repurchase right (as set forth in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit C-1). 
 (ii) As a condition to exercising this Option for unvested Shares, the Optionee shall execute the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. 

(iii) This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 

(b) Method of Exercise. 
 (i) This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall state the election to exercise the
Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price. 

(ii) No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise comply with Applicable Laws.
Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

 3. Optionee’s Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered
under the Securities Act at the time this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
 4. Market Standoff Agreement. Optionee hereby agrees that, if
requested by the managing underwriter, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering or any secondary public
offering, as applicable, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) calendar days in the case of an initial public offering and, solely in the case of a
holder of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, ninety (90) calendar days in the case of any secondary public offering (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or managing underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions
on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor
provisions or amendments thereto)) (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company, including (without limitation) shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) or
(ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any securities of the Company, including (without limitation) shares of Common Stock or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of securities, in
cash or otherwise. Optionee agrees that any transferee of the Option or shares acquired pursuant to the Option shall be bound by this Section 4. 
 5. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee: 

(a) cash or check; 
 (b) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or 

(c) surrender of other Shares which, (i) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company, either directly or indirectly, have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares. 

6. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of
the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law. 

  

					
		 	- 3 -	 	Stock Option Agreement - Early Exercise









 7. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs,
successors and assigns of the Optionee. 
 8. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out
in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option. 

9. Tax Obligations. 
 (a) Withholding Taxes. Optionee agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all federal, state,
local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts
are not delivered at the time of exercise. 
 (b) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option
granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, and (2) the date one year after
the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee.

 (c) Code Section 409A. Under Code Section 409A, an Option that vests after December 31, 2004 that was
granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant (a “discount option”) is considered
“deferred compensation.” An Option that is a “discount option” may result in (i) income recognition by the Optionee prior to the exercise of the Option (when the Option vests), (ii) an additional twenty percent
(20%) income tax, and (iii) potential interest charges. Optionee acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will determine that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or exceeds the fair market
value of a Share on the date of grant. Optionee agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant, Optionee will be solely
responsibly for any of costs related to such a determination. 
 10. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is
incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and
Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This Option Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws
but not the choice of law rules of Texas. 
 11. No Guarantee of Continued Service. OPTIONEE AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF
SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY 

  

					
		 	- 4 -	 	Stock Option Agreement - Early Exercise









 
CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT THIS OPTION AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT
ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. 

Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and
hereby accepts this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof. Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option and fully
understands all provisions of the Option. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Option. Optionee further agrees to
notify the Company upon any change in the residence address indicated below.

75081 
 Attn: Secretary 
 1. Exercise of Option. Effective as of today,             ,             , the
undersigned (“Optionee”) hereby elects to exercise Optionee’s option (the “Option”) to purchase             shares of the Common Stock (the
“Shares”) of Mavenir Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) under and pursuant to the 2005 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and the Stock Option Agreement dated
            ,             (the “Option Agreement”). 

2. Delivery of Payment. Optionee herewith delivers to the Company the full purchase price of the Shares as set forth in the Option
Agreement, and any and all withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Option. 
 3. Representations of
Optionee. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received, read and understood the Plan and the Option Agreement and agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions. 

4. Rights as Stockholder. Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or
of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Shares shall be issued to
the Optionee as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in
Section 12 of the Plan. 
 5. Company’s Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Optionee or any
transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to
purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the “Right of First Refusal”). 

(a) Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the
“Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the
number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer the
Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s). 







 (b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days
after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase up to all of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price
determined in accordance with subsection (c) below. 
 (c) Purchase Price. The purchase price (“Purchase
Price”) for the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. 
 (d) Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be
made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any
combination thereof within 30 days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice. 
 (e)
Holder’s Right to Transfer. To the extent that the Shares proposed in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section, then the Holder may
sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer is consummated within 120 days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or other transfer
is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares
described in the Notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by
the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred. 
 (f) Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Anything to the contrary
contained in this Section notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during the Optionee’s lifetime or on the Optionee’s death by will or intestacy to the Optionee’s immediate family or a trust for the benefit of the
Optionee’s immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section. “Immediate Family” as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the
transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Section, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section. 

(g) Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to any Shares upon the first sale of
Common Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. 

6. Tax Consultation. Optionee understands that Optionee may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Optionee’s
purchase or disposition of the Shares. Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted with any tax consultants Optionee deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Optionee is not relying on the Company for
any tax advice.

(a) Legends. Optionee understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially
equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws: 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS

 (b) Stop-Transfer Notices. Optionee agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to
its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. 
 (c) Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this

delivery, on the date of mailing, upon confirmation of facsimile transfer or when directed to the electronic mail address set forth on the signature page to the Option Agreement. With respect to any notice given by the Company under any provision of
the Texas Business Corporation Act or the Company’s charter or bylaws, the Optionee agrees that such notice may given by facsimile or by electronic mail. 
 11. Governing Law; Severability. This Exercise Notice is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of Texas. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, the remaining provisions hereof will continue in full force and effect. 
 12. Entire Agreement. The Plan and Option Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Exercise Notice, the Plan, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, the Option Agreement and the
Investment Representation Statement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee.

	SECURITY	  	 	:	  	  	COMMON STOCK
			
	AMOUNT	  	 	:	  	  	
			
	DATE	  	 	:	  	  	

 In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to
the Company the following: 
 (a) Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has
acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for
resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
 (b) Optionee
acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends
upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may
be unavailable if Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in
the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or
an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted
with the legends set forth in Section 7(a) of the Exercise Notice and with any other legend required under applicable state securities laws. 
 (c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted
securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant
of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of 







 
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under
Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions
directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities
being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable. 
 In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of
Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of
Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and
(4) of the paragraph immediately above. 
 (d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not
exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a
substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee
understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

MAVENIR SYSTEMS, INC. 
 2005 STOCK PLAN 
 RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT is made between
                    (the “Purchaser”) and Mavenir Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) or its assignees of rights
hereunder as of                 ,             . 

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the 2005 Stock Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

 R E C I T A L S 
 A. Pursuant to the exercise of the option granted to Purchaser under the Plan and pursuant to the Option Agreement dated             by and
between the Company and Purchaser with respect to such grant (the “Option”), which Plan and Option Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, Purchaser has elected to purchase
            of those shares of Common Stock which have not become vested under the vesting schedule set forth in the Option Agreement (“Unvested Shares”). The Unvested
Shares and the shares subject to the Option Agreement that have become vested are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Shares.” 
 B. As required by the Option Agreement, as a condition to Purchaser’s election to exercise the option, Purchaser must execute this Agreement, which sets forth the rights and obligations of the
parties with respect to Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. 
 1. Repurchase Option. 

(a) If Purchaser’s status as a Service Provider is terminated for any reason, including for death and Disability, the Company shall
have the right and option for ninety (90) days from such date to purchase from Purchaser, or Purchaser’s personal representative, as the case may be, all of the Purchaser’s Unvested Shares as of the date of such termination at the
lower of (i) the fair market value of the Unvested Shares on the date of repurchase and (ii) the price paid by the Purchaser for such Shares (the “Repurchase Option”). 

(b) Upon the occurrence of such termination, the Company may exercise its Repurchase Option by delivering personally or by registered
mail, to Purchaser (or his transferee or legal representative, as the case may be) with a copy to the Escrow Agent described in Section 2 below, a notice in writing indicating the Company’s intention to exercise the Repurchase Option AND,
at the Company’s option, (i) by delivering to the Purchaser (or the Purchaser’s transferee or legal representative) a check in the amount of the aggregate repurchase price, (ii) by the Company canceling an amount of the
Purchaser’s indebtedness to the Company equal to the aggregate repurchase price or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii) so that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals such aggregate repurchase price. Upon
delivery of such notice and payment of the aggregate repurchase price in any of the ways described above, the Company 







 
shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unvested Shares being repurchased and the rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and
transfer to its own name the number of Unvested Shares being repurchased by the Company. 
 (c) Whenever the Company shall have
the right to repurchase Unvested Shares hereunder, the Company may designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors or stockholders of the Company or other persons or organizations to exercise all or a part of the Company’s
Repurchase Option under this Agreement and purchase all or a part of such Unvested Shares. 
 (d) If the Company does not elect
to exercise the Repurchase Option conferred above by giving the requisite notice within ninety (90) days following the termination, the Repurchase Option shall terminate. 
 (e) The Repurchase Option shall terminate in accordance with the vesting schedule contained in Purchaser’s Option Agreement. 
 2. Transferability of the Shares; Escrow. 
 (a) Purchaser hereby authorizes
and directs the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, to transfer the Unvested Shares as to which the Repurchase Option has been exercised from Purchaser to the Company. 

(b) To insure the availability for delivery of Purchaser’s Unvested Shares upon repurchase by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase
Option under Section 1, Purchaser hereby appoints the Secretary, or any other person designated by the Company as Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agent”), as its attorney-in-fact to sell, assign and transfer unto the Company, such
Unvested Shares, if any, repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option and shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the Escrow Agent, the share certificates representing the Unvested Shares, together with the
stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached hereto as Exhibit C-2. The Unvested Shares and stock assignment shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and Purchaser attached as
Exhibit C-3 hereto, until the Company exercises its Repurchase Option, until such Unvested Shares are vested, or until such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect. As a further condition to the Company’s obligations under
this Agreement, the spouse of the Purchaser, if any, shall execute and deliver to the Company the Consent of Spouse attached hereto as Exhibit C-4. Upon vesting of the Unvested Shares, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser
the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the Escrow Agent’s possession belonging to the Purchaser, and the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall
nevertheless retain such certificate or certificates as Escrow Agent if so required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (c) Neither the Company nor the Escrow Agent shall be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its
judgment. 
 (d) Transfer or sale of the Shares is subject to restrictions on transfer imposed by any applicable state and
federal securities laws. Any transferee shall hold such Shares subject to all the provisions hereof and the Exercise Notice executed by the Purchaser with respect to any Unvested Shares purchased by Purchaser and shall acknowledge the same by
signing a copy of this Agreement.

 3. Ownership, Voting Rights, Duties. This Agreement shall not affect in any way the
ownership, voting rights or other rights or duties of Purchaser, except as specifically provided herein. 
 4. Legends.
The share certificate evidencing the Shares issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend (in addition to any legend required under applicable federal and state securities laws): 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH MAY BE COUNSEL TO THE CORPORATION)
SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. 
 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. 

5. Adjustment for Stock Split. All references to the number of Shares and the purchase price of the Shares in this Agreement shall
be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Shares that may be made by the Company pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan after the date of this Agreement. 

6. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered
personally by hand or by courier, mailed by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or sent by electronic mail directed (a) if to the Purchaser, at the Purchaser’s address, facsimile number or electronic mail
address set forth on the signature page to the Option Agreement, or at such other address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as the Purchaser may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the Company or (b) if to
the Company, to the address of its principal executive office, or at such other address as the Company may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the Purchaser. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed given
upon personal delivery, on the date of mailing, upon confirmation of facsimile transfer or when directed to the electronic mail address set forth on the signature page to the Option Agreement. With respect to any notice given by the Company under
any provision of the Texas Business Corporation Act or the Company’s charter or bylaws, the Purchaser agrees that such notice may given by facsimile or by electronic mail.

 7. Survival of Terms. This Agreement shall apply to and bind Purchaser and the
Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. 
 8. Section 83(b) Election. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed that, with respect to the exercise of an Option for Unvested Shares, an election (the
“Election”) may be filed by the Purchaser with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the exercised Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between
the purchase price of the exercised Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, this will result in a recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser on the date of exercise, measured by the
excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the exercised Shares, at the time the Option is exercised over the purchase price for the exercised Shares. Absent such an Election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Purchaser at the time
or times on which the Company’s Repurchase Option lapses. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such an Election will result in a recognition of income to the Purchaser for alternative minimum tax purposes on the date of exercise, measured
by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the exercised Shares, at the time the option is exercised, over the purchase price for the exercised Shares. Absent such an Election, alternative minimum taxable income will be measured and
recognized by Purchaser at the time or times on which the Company’s Repurchase Option lapses. Purchaser is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the
advisability of filing of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference. 
 PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF PURCHASER REQUESTS THE
COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON PURCHASER’S BEHALF. 
 9. Representations. Purchaser
has reviewed with his own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or
representations of the Company or any of its agents. Purchaser understands that he (and not the Company) shall be responsible for his own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules,
of Texas. 
 Purchaser represents that he has read this Agreement and is familiar with its terms and provisions. Purchaser
hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any questions arising under this Agreement.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is deemed made as of the date first set forth above.

shares of stock to be purchased, the purchase price, and the time for a closing hereunder at the principal office of the Company. Purchaser and the Company hereby irrevocably authorize and direct you to close the transaction contemplated by such
notice in accordance with the terms of said notice. 
 2. At the closing, you are directed (a) to date the stock
assignments necessary for the transfer in question, (b) to fill in the number of shares being transferred, and (c) to deliver the stock assignments, together with the certificate evidencing the shares of stock to be transferred, to the
Company or its assignee, against the simultaneous delivery to you of the purchase price (by cash, a check, or some combination thereof) for the number of shares of stock being purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s repurchase
option. 
 3. Purchaser irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with you any certificates evidencing shares of stock to be
held by you hereunder and any additions and substitutions to said shares as defined in the Agreement. Purchaser does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint you as Purchaser’s attorney-in-fact and agent for the term of this escrow to execute

shall not be personally liable for any act you may do or omit to do hereunder as Escrow Agent or as attorney-in-fact for Purchaser while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted by you pursuant to the advice of your own attorneys shall be
conclusive evidence of such good faith. 
 8. You are hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any
of the parties hereto or by any other person or corporation, excepting only orders or process of courts of law and are hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court. In case you obey or comply with any
such order, judgment or decree, you shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified,
annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

account of the identity, authorities or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver the Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.

parties concerned or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but you shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such
proceedings. 
 15. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given
upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses or at such other addresses
as a party may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to each of the other parties hereto. 
 16. By signing these
Joint Escrow Instructions, you become a party hereto only for the purpose of said Joint Escrow Instructions; you do not become a party to the Agreement.
