Company’s payroll practices in effect on the date of termination (the “Severance Payments”) for a period of 12 months following such termination (the “Severance Period”); provided that to the extent that

 6

and are the Executive’s sole and exclusive remedy, in lieu of all other remedies at law or in equity, with respect to the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder or any breach of this Agreement. 

8. RELEASE; SET-OFFS. Any and all amounts payable and benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement beyond the

(b) NON-COMPETITION. The Executive acknowledges that (i) the Executive performs services of a unique nature for the Company Group,
and that the Executive’s performance of such services to a competing business may result in irreparable harm to the Company Group, (ii) the Executive has had and will continue to have access to Confidential Information which, if disclosed, may

indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, and whether or not for compensation) or render services to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, in whatever

entity in identifying or soliciting any such customer, (ii) solicit, aid or induce any employee, representative or agent of the Company Group or any of its affiliates to leave such employment or retention or to accept employment with or render
services to or with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity unaffiliated with the Company Group or hire or retain any such employee, representative or agent, or take any action to materially assist or aid any other person, firm,
corporation or other entity in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such employee, representative or agent; or (iii) intentionally interfere, or intentionally aid or induce any other person or entity in interfering, with the relationship

 8 













 representative or agent shall be deemed covered by this Section 9(c) while so employed or
retained and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 9( c) shall not be violated by general advertising or solicitation not specifically targeted at Company
Group-related persons or entities. 
 (d) NON-DISPARAGEMENT. The Executive agrees not to, at any time, make negative comments or
otherwise disparage the Company Group or its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, agents or products other than in the good faith performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company. The foregoing shall not be violated by
truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings). 

(e) INVENTIONS. (i) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all ideas, methods, inventions, discoveries, improvements, work
products, developments, software, know-how, processes, techniques, methods, works of authorship and other work product, whether patentable or unpatentable, (A) that are reduced to practice, created, invented, designed, developed, contributed

Executive’s employment or service with the Company Group (or any of its predecessors in interest), whether before or after the Effective Date, or (B) suggested by any work that the Executive performs in connection with the Company Group
(or any of its predecessors in interest), either while performing the Executive’s duties with the Company Group (or any of its predecessors in interest) or on the Executive’s own time, but only insofar as they are related to the
Executive’s work as an employee or other service provider to the Company Group (or any of its predecessors in interest) (the “Inventions”), shall belong exclusively to the Company Group (or its designee ), whether or not patent
or other applications for intellectual property protection are filed thereon. The Executive will keep full and complete written records (the “Records”), in the manner prescribed by the Company Group, of all Inventions, and will
promptly disclose all Inventions completely and in writing to the Company Group. The Records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company Group, and the Executive will surrender them upon the termination of the Employment Term, or upon
the Company Group’s request. The Executive hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company Group the Inventions and all patents or other intellectual property rights that may issue thereon in any and all countries, whether
during or subsequent to the Employment Term, together with the right to file, in the Executive’s name or in the name of the Company Group (or its designee ), applications for patents and equivalent rights (the “Applications”).
The Executive will, at any time during and subsequent to the Employment Term, make such applications, sign such papers, take all rightful oaths, and perform all other acts as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Company Group to
perfect, record, enforce, protect, patent or register the Company Group’s rights in the Inventions, all without additional compensation to the Executive from the Company Group. The Executive will also execute assignments to the Company Group
(or its designee) of the Applications, and give the Company Group and its attorneys all reasonable assistance (including the giving of testimony) to obtain the Inventions for the Company Group’s benefit, all without additional compensation to
the Executive from the Company Group, but entirely at the Company Group’s expense. 

  
 9 













 (ii) In addition, the Inventions will be deemed Work for Hire, as such term is defined under
the copyright laws of the United States, on behalf of the Company Group and the Executive agrees that the Company Group will be the sole owner of the Inventions, and all underlying rights therein, in all media now known or hereinafter devised,
throughout the universe and in perpetuity without any further obligations to the Executive. If the Inventions, or any portion thereof, are deemed not to be Work for Hire, or the rights in such Inventions do not otherwise automatically vest in the
Company Group, the Executive hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company Group, all rights, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity, in and to the Inventions, including, without
limitation, all of the Executive’s right, title and interest in the copyrights (and all renewals, revivals and extensions thereof) to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all rights of any kind or any nature now or hereafter
recognized, including, without limitation, the unrestricted right to make modifications, adaptations and revisions to the Inventions, to exploit and allow others to exploit the Inventions and all rights to sue at law or in equity for any
infringement, or other unauthorized use or conduct in derogation of the Inventions, whether known or unknown as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the right to receive all proceeds and damages from any of the foregoing. In
addition, the Executive hereby waives any so-called “moral rights” with respect to the Inventions. To the extent that the Executive has any rights in the results and proceeds of the Executive’s service to the Company Group that cannot
be assigned in the manner described herein, the Executive agrees to unconditionally waive the enforcement of such rights. The Executive hereby waives any and all currently existing and future monetary rights in and to the Inventions and all patents
and other registrations for intellectual property that may issue thereon, including, without limitation, any rights that would otherwise accrue to the Executive’s benefit by virtue of the Executive being an employee of or other service provider
to the Company Group ( or any of its predecessors in interest). 
 (iii) 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) provides: “An individual shall not be
held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to
an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.”
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. §1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. §1833(b). Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement have the right to
disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. The parties also have the right to disclose trade secrets in
a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure. 
 (f)
RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY. On the date of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company Group for any reason (or at any time prior thereto at the Company Group’s request), the Executive shall return all property
belonging to the Company Group or its affiliates (including, but not limited to, any Company Group-provided laptops, computers, cell phones, wireless electronic mail devices or other equipment, or documents and property belonging to the Company
Group).

 (g) REASONABLENESS OF COVENANTS. In signing this Agreement, the Executive gives the
Company Group assurance that the Executive has carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under this Section 9. The Executive agrees that these restraints are
necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company Group and its affiliates and their Confidential Information and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect of subject matter, length of time and geographic
area, and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent the Executive from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Executive is bound by the restraints. The Executive acknowledges that each of
these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company Group and its affiliates and that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. The Executive further
covenants that the Executive will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9. It is also agreed that each of the Company Group’s affiliates will have the right to enforce
all of the Executive’s obligations to that affiliate under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to this Section 9. 

(h) REFORMATION. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this
Section 9 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the
maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state. 
 (i) TOLLING. In the event of any violation of the provisions of this
Section 9 by the Executive, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the post-termination restrictions contained in this Section 9 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation, it being the
intention of the parties hereto that the running of the applicable post-termination restricted period shall be tolled during any period of such violation. 

(j) SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The obligations contained in this Section 9 and Section 10 hereof shall survive the
termination or expiration of the Employment Term and the Executive’s employment or service with the Company Group and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. 

10. COOPERATION. Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company Group (including its outside counsel), the Executive agrees that
while employed by, or providing services to, the Company Group and thereafter, the Executive will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which the Executive has knowledge as a result of the Executive’s employment or service
with the Company Group, and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company Group, its affiliates and their respective representatives in defense of all claims that may be made against the Company Group or its affiliates, and will assist the
Company Group and its affiliates in the prosecution of all claims that may be made by the Company Group or its affiliates, to the extent that such claims may relate to the period of the Executive’s employment or service with the Company Group.
The Executive agrees to promptly inform the Company Group if the Executive becomes aware of any lawsuit involving such claims that is likely to be filed or threatened against the Company Group or its affiliates. The Executive also agrees to promptly
inform the Company Group (to the extent that the Executive is legally permitted to do so) if the Executive is asked to assist in any investigation of the Company Group 

  
 11 













 or its affiliates ( or their actions), regardless of whether a lawsuit or other proceeding has then been
filed against the Company Group or its affiliates with respect to such investigation, and shall not do so unless legally required. Upon presentation of appropriate documentation, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable expenses
the Executive incurs in connection with the Executive’s cooperation under this provision. 
 11. EQUITABLE RELIEF AND OTHER
REMEDIES. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company Group’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Sections 9 or 10 hereof would be inadequate and, in recognition of this
fact, the Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company Group shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining
order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages or the posting of a bond or other security. In the event of a violation by the Executive
of Section 9 or 10 hereof, any severance being paid to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall immediately cease, and any severance previously paid to the Executive shall be immediately repaid to the Company
Group. 
 12. WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION. The Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits the
Executive’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other
federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). The Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit the Executive’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or
otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. This Agreement does not limit the Executive’s right to
receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies. 
 13. NO ASSIGNMENTS. This Agreement is personal to each
of the parties hereto. Except as provided in this Section 13 hereof, no party may assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto. The Company may assign this
Agreement to its affiliate or to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company; provided that the Company shall require such affiliate or successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company and any affiliate or successor
to its business and/or assets, which assumes and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of the Company under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise. 

14. NOTICE. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of delivery, if delivered by hand, (b) on the date of transmission, if delivered by email, ( c) on the first business day following the date of deposit, if delivered by guaranteed
overnight delivery service, or (d) on the fourth business day following the date delivered or mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

 18. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the
parties hereto, and all claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof. Each of the parties agrees that any dispute
between the parties shall be resolved only in the courts of the State of Texas or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and the appellate Court having jurisdiction of appeals in such court. In that context, and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Executive’s employment by the Company or any affiliate, or for the
recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof ( a “Proceeding”), to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Texas, the court of the United States of America for the Northern District of Texas, and
appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from any of the foregoing, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Texas State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal
court, (b) consents that any such Proceeding may and shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that the Executive or the Company may now or thereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such Proceeding in any such court or
that such Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same, (c) WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY, OR THE EXECUTIVE’S OR THE COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE UNDER, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, (d) agrees that service of process in any such
Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail ( or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at the Executive’s or the Company’s address as provided in
Section 14 hereof, and (e) agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the laws of the State of Texas. Each party shall pay all of its own costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, its own legal fees and expenses. 
 19. MISCELLANEOUS. No provision of this Agreement
may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer or director of the Company as may be designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto
at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at
any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement together with all exhibits hereto, as well as any additional agreements referenced herein, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and
supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between the Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement). No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise,
express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

20. REPRESENTATIONS. The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the Executive has the legal right to
enter into this Agreement and to perform all of the obligations on the Executive’s part to be performed hereunder in accordance with its terms, and (b) the Executive is not a party to any agreement or understanding, written or oral, and is
not subject to any restriction, which, in either case, could prevent the Executive from entering into this Agreement or performing all of the Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder.

 21. TAX MATTERS. 

(a) WITHHOLDING. The Company Group may withhold from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement or otherwise such federal, state
and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
 (b) SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE. 

(i) To the extent applicable, the intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.
To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit
to the Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409 A. In no event whatsoever shall the Company Group be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the
Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. 
 (ii) A termination of employment shall
not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amount or benefit upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service”
within the meaning of Code Section 409 A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any
payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided
until the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Executive, and (B) the date of the Executive’s death, to the extent
required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 2l(b)(ii) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in
installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified
for them herein. 
 (iii) To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified
deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409 A, (A) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by
the Executive, (B) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any
taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. 

  
 15 













 (iv) For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive
installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date
of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. 
 (v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment or benefit under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise
permitted by Code Section 409A. 
 22. EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date of the Closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Effective Date”). If the Closing shall not occur in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, including without limitation as a result of termination of the
Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms, this Agreement will not become effective and will have no force and effect.
