 TEXAS ADDENDUM 

This Addendum modifies the Staff Services Agreement and Terms and Conditions entered into between Client and Odyssey. In the event of any conflict, this
Addendum shall control. Any references in the Staff Services Agreement or this Addendum to “Agreement”, or words of similar import, shall refer to the Staff Services Agreement as modified by this Addendum. 

 

	1.	Client understands that the Texas Labor Code provides that if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, more than two years after its effective date, and Client
either obtains a new workers ‘compensation insurance policy or adds the former Staff to an existing policy, the premium for Client’s workers’ compensation insurance policy may be based on the lower of: (1) Client’s experience
modifier prior to entering into this Agreement; or (2) Odyssey’s experience modifier at the time this Agreement is terminated. 

  

	2.	Client understands that the Texas Staff Leasing Services Act provides that if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Client may be treated as a new employer,
without a previous experience rating, for Texas unemployment compensation tax purposes, unless Client is otherwise eligible for an experience rating. 

  

	3.	Odyssey is regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation. Any unresolved complaints may be referred to the Department at P.O. Box 12157, Austin,
Texas 78711 or by calling 1-512-463-6599. 

  

	4.	Odyssey: (1) assumes the obligation to pay wages to the Staff without regard to payment by the Client; and (2) assumes responsibility for the payment of
payroll taxes and collection of taxes from payroll on Staff assigned to Client. Nothing in this or any other provision of this Agreement relieves Client of its obligations to pay Odyssey in full and on time. Client’s failure to pay Odyssey
shall be a breach of the Agreement and entitle Odyssey to terminate the Agreement immediately. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Odyssey has not contracted to fund compensation other than amounts specifically reported by Client
to Odyssey. Client is solely responsible for any wages or compensation, including overtime, vacation pay, holiday pay, sick leave pay, parental or family leave pay, severance pay, bonuses, commissions stock option grants, deferred compensation or
other amounts that were not timely and accurately reported to Odyssey each pay period. If Client has been in business one year or more, Client warrants and represents that all of the following are true: (a) at least 75% of the persons who will
become Staff were previously employees of Client (or in a shared employment relationship with Client and a licensed staff leasing firm) for a period of at least three months immediately prior to the effective date of this Agreement; (b) none of
the Staff were previously employees of a company that provides taxable services to Client; and (c) a shared employment relationship exists between Client and Odyssey as to the Staff. 


 

	5.	If Client has been in business less than one year, Client warrants and represents that all of the following are true: (a) none of the persons who will become Staff
were previously employees of a company that provides taxable services to Client; and (b) a shared employment relationship exists between Client and Odyssey as to the Staff. 


 

	6.	Odyssey represents that: (a) none of the Staff were previously employees of Odyssey, except for a shared employment relationship with a different client of
Odyssey; and (b) a shared employment relationship exists between Client and Odyssey as to the Staff. 


Agreed:

 ODYSSEY OUTSOURCING, INC. 

LIMITED PERSONAL GUARANTY 

I have signed this Limited Personal Guaranty in order to induce Odyssey OutSourcing, Inc. (“Odyssey”) to enter into a Staff Services
Agreement (“Agreement”) with PGI Energy Fund 1 Series 2010 Inc, (“Client”) and to provide Professional Employer Services to Client. I have a substantial interest in Client and in assuring that Odyssey provides its services
to Client. I have executed this Limited Personal Guaranty in order to induce Odyssey to provide services to Client and I acknowledge that I have done so solely for a business purpose, and not for any personal, family or household purpose.

 I personally and individually guarantee payment of those amounts due by Client to Odyssey for services provided under the Agreement. This
Guaranty shall be limited to those amounts specified under Section VII of the Agreement, Fees; Payments and shall not include any other amounts due by Client to Odyssey. In particular, I guarantee those amounts paid and/or payable to the Staff by
Odyssey (such as wages and other compensation) and the cost of any statutory payroll taxes, workers’ compensation insurance and employee benefits provided to the Staff. Such guaranty shall apply to any amounts which are not paid by client, in
full, within ten (10) days following the invoice date. No further costs, expenses, legal fees (other than those incurred enforcing this Guaranty), or recoveries may be made or interpreted as being covered by this Limited Personal Guaranty.

 The bankruptcy of Client will not operate to reduce or relieve any obligation under this Guaranty. Partial payment by Client or any other
guarantor will not relieve my obligations under this Guaranty. My obligations under this Guaranty will not be reduced or waived by any settlement or release entered into with Client or any other guarantor and I waive presentment, demand for payment,
protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any indebtedness, or taking of any other action by Contractor. 
 Any dispute between Odyssey and
me shall be submitted to final and binding Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and may be
enforced by any court with jurisdiction.
