(and his family members) with twelve (12) months of paid COBRA coverage for any Company sponsored group health plan (excluding any flexible
spending account) in which the Executive is enrolled at the time of Executive’s termination of employment (provided, however, that

pay executive an amount equal to one (1) month of COBRA continuation premiums with respect to each such group health plan on the first
day of each of the first twelve (12) months following Executive’s termination of employment).


 


5.2 Acceleration

series of related transactions of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company taken as a whole to any individual, corporation,
limited liability company, partnership, or other entity (each, a “Person”) or group of Persons acting together (each
a “Group”) (other than any of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries or any Company employee pension or benefits
plan);


 


(b)
the consummation of any transactions (including any stock or asset purchase, sale, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or

voting power of all classes of stock of the Company having the right to elect directors under ordinary circumstances.

(a)
The Company may, during the Term, upon written notice to the Executive, terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement
and discharge the Executive for Cause (as defined in Section 6.1(b)) and, in such event, except as set forth in Section 6.1,
neither party shall have any rights or obligations under Article 1, Article 2, Section 3.1, Section 3.2,
or Article 4; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the Executive any amount due and owing as of

(b)
As used herein, the term “Cause” shall refer to the termination of the Executive’s employment as a result of

failure to consistently discharge his duties under this Agreement other than such failure resulting from his Disability (as defined in Section 6.3(b)).
For purposes of Section 6.1, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be considered “willful”
if it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith or with reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the
best interest of the Company. The Executive shall have the opportunity to cure any such acts or omissions under clause (iv) above
within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s receipt of a copy of a resolution, duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not

notice to the Executive and an opportunity for him, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good

6.2 Termination
by the Company Without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason.


 










(a)
The Board acting for the Company shall have the right, at any time in its sole discretion, to terminate the Executive’s employment
under this Agreement at any time for any reason other than Cause, or no reason at all (any such termination, a termination “Without
Cause”), upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Executive, and the Executive may, by written
notice to the Board, terminate his employment under this Agreement (and he hereby has such right) by reason of any act, decision or omission
by the Company or the Board that: (i) materially diminishes the Executive’s Base Salary; (ii) materially diminishes the
Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities (other than such changes that typically occur in connection with a company becoming
a publicly-traded company); (iii) relocates the Executive without his consent from the Company’s offices located at 2717 Commercial
Center Blvd., Suite E200 PMB 264, Katy, Texas 77494 to any other location in excess of fifty (50) miles beyond the geographic limits
of Katy, Texas that increases the Executive’s one-way commute to work by at least fifty (50) miles based on the Executive’s
primary residence immediately prior to the time such relocation is announced; or (iv) constitutes a material breach of this Agreement
(each a “Good Reason”). The Executive must give the Company written notice of the condition that gives rise to the
Good Reason within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of the condition, in which event the Company shall have thirty (30) days
to remedy the condition, and after which the Executive may resign for Good Reason within ninety (90) days after the Company fails
to reasonably remedy the condition.


 


(b)
In the event the Company or the Executive shall exercise the termination right granted pursuant to Section 6.2(a), then
except as set forth below, neither party shall have any rights or obligations under Article 1, Article 2, Section 3.1, Section 3.2,
or Article 4; provided, however, that the Company shall pay to the Executive (i) an amount equal to
twenty four (24) months of the Executive’s Base Salary (determined as the Executive’s last annual Base Salary during the
Term prior to such termination) plus two times the Bonus (determined as one hundred percent (100%) of the Executive’s eligible
bonus during the Term prior to such termination), and (ii) any amount due and owing as of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 3.1, Section 3.2 (including
a Bonus for the year in which the termination occurs prorated to the date of termination based on the Executive’s average bonus
received for the immediately preceding three (3) years) and Article 4. Such amounts shall be paid in a single lump sum seventy
five (75) days after Executive terminates employment, provided, however, that the payments pursuant to clause (i) above are contingent
on the Executive having executed a release in favor of the Company within sixty (60) days following Executive’s termination of
employment and not thereafter revoking such release. In addition, the Company shall provide the Executive (and his family members) with
twelve (12) months of paid COBRA coverage for any Company sponsored group health plan (excluding any flexible spending account) in which
the Executive is enrolled at the time of Executive’s termination of employment (provided, however, that if doing so would result
in adverse tax consequences (e.g., under Internal Revenue Code Section 105(h)), the Company shall instead pay executive an amount
equal to one (1) month of COBRA continuation premiums with respect to each such group health plan on the first day of each of the first
twelve (12) months following Executive’s termination of employment).


 


6.3 Termination
of Employment Upon Death Or Disability.


 


(a) Death. The
Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon his death during the Term. Upon such termination, the Company
neither party shall have any rights or obligations under Article 1, Article 2, Section 3.1, Section 3.2,
or Article 4; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the Executive’s estate any amount due
and owing as of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 (excluding a
Bonus for the year in which the termination occurs) and Article 4 and the Company shall pay to such person as the
Executive shall have designated in a notice filed with the Company, or, if no such person shall be designated, to his estate as a death
benefit, a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date of the Executive’s
death. This amount shall be exclusive of and in addition to any payments the Executive’s surviving spouse, beneficiaries or estate
may be entitled to receive pursuant to any pension or employee benefit plan or life insurance policy maintained by the Company. Any equity
awards held by the Executive shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the relevant plan and grant documents.


 






    	6



    	 



    

 


(b) Disability. If
the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Term, subject to applicable laws, it
may give written notice to the Executive of its intention to terminate his employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment
with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive, provided that, within the thirty (30)
days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of his duties. During any period that the Executive
fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of the Disability, the Executive shall continue to receive his full Base Salary and
incentive compensation until the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.3(b). Upon any
such termination neither party shall have any rights or obligations under Article 1, Article 2, Section 3.1, Section 3.2,
or Article 4; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the Executive any amount due and owing as of
the Termination Date pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 (excluding a Bonus for the year
in which the termination occurs) and Article 4 and, after termination an amount equal to twelve (12) months of
the Executive’s Base Salary (determined as the Executive’s last annual Base Salary during the Term prior to such termination).
Such twelve (12) months of Base Salary shall be paid in a single lump sum seventy five (75) days after Executive terminates employment,
provided, however, that this payment is contingent on the Executive having executed a release in favor of the Company within sixty (60)
days following Executive’s termination of employment and not thereafter revoking such release. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Disability” shall mean the inability of the Executive to perform his duties to the Company on account of physical
or mental illness or incapacity for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive calendar days, or for a period of one hundred
and eighty (180) calendar days, whether or not consecutive, during any three hundred and sixty five (365) day period. Any equity awards
held by the Executive shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the relevant plan and grant documents.


 


6.4 Termination
by the Executive Without Good Reason. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, during the Term the Executive shall
have the right, in his sole discretion, to terminate his employment under this Agreement without Good Reason upon not less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the Company and, in such event, neither party shall have any rights or obligations under Article
1, Article 2, Section 3.1, Section 3.2, or Article 4; provided,
however, that the Company shall pay the Executive any amount due and owing as of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 (excluding
a Bonus for the year in which the termination occurs) and Article 4. Any equity awards held by the Executive shall be
governed by the terms and conditions of the relevant plan and grant documents.

Termination Date, all of the Executive’s unvested stock options and other equity awards (if any) outstanding as of immediately
prior to the applicable Termination Date, regardless of when such options of equity awards were granted.

terminates.

merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, or otherwise.

9.8 Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement are agreed to be severable, and if any provision, or application thereof, is held invalid or unenforceable,
then such holding shall not affect any other provision or application.


 


9.9 Construction.
As used herein, and as the circumstances require, the plural term shall include the singular, the singular shall include the plural,
the neuter term shall include the masculine and feminine genders, and the feminine term shall include the neuter and the masculine genders.


 


9.10 Arbitration.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.4 hereof, any controversy or claim arising out of, or related to, this
Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Houston, Texas, in accordance with the employment arbitration
rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association including the right to discovery, and the arbitrator’s decision shall
be binding and final, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party hereto
shall pay its or their own expenses incident to the negotiation, preparation and resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of,
or related to, this Agreement, or the breach thereof; provided, however, the Company shall pay and be solely responsible
for any attorneys’ fees and expenses and court or arbitration costs incurred by the Executive as a result of a claim brought by
either the Executive or the Company alleging that the other party breached or otherwise failed to perform this Agreement or any provision
hereof to be performed by the other party if the Executive prevails in the contest in whole or in part.


 


9.11 Code
Section 409A Compliance. Each payment under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.
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 Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”) and, for purposes 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 a “specified employee” (within the meaning
of Section 409A) on the date of the Executive’s separation from service, then any payments or benefits that otherwise would
be payable under this Agreement within the first six months following the Executive’s separation from service (the “409A
Suspension Period”), shall instead be paid in a lump sum within fourteen (14) days after the end of the sixth month period
following the Executive’s separation from service, or Executive’s death, if sooner, but only to the extent that such payments
or benefits provide for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, after application of the
exemptions provided in Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(ii)-(v) thereof. After the 409A Suspension Period, the Executive
will receive any remaining payments and benefits due pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with its terms (as if there had not been
any suspension beforehand). To the extent that severance payments or benefits under this Agreement are conditioned on the execution of
a release by Executive, Executive shall forfeit all rights to such payments and benefits unless such release is signed and delivered
to the Company within the time required by this Agreement. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specified a payment period with respect
to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. The Company
will cooperate with the Executive in making any amendments to this Agreement that the Executive reasonably requests to avoid the imposition
of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code provided that such changes do not provide the Executive with additional benefits
(other than de minimus benefits) under this Agreement.


 


9.12 Survival.
The covenants contained in Articles 5, 6, 9.1 – 9.5 and 9.10 – 9.13 shall
survive any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and any expiration or termination of this Agreement.


 


9.13 No
Mitigation or Offset. The Executive shall not have any duty to seek other employment or to reduce any amounts or benefits payable
to him under Section 1.1 or Article 6, and no such amounts or benefits shall be reduced, on account
of any compensation received by the Executive from any other employment or source. The Company shall not have the right to offset any
amount owed to it against payments due to the Executive under Section 1.1, Article 5 or Article
6 (other than as expressly provided therein).
