amount equal to the amount previously expended monthly by the Company for his continued participation in the medical plan, and 

  

	 	 (v)
	 other or additional benefits then due or earned in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company.

the Beneficial Owner (except that a Person shall 

  

 8 

	 	 
be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of all shares that any such Person has the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement or arrangement or upon exercise of
conversion rights, warrants or options or otherwise, without regard to the sixty day period referred to in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (as defined below),
representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s or such subsidiary’s then outstanding securities; 

  

	 	 (ii)
	 during any 12-month period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a
person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i), (iii), or (iv) of this paragraph) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved
by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the 12-month period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved but excluding for this purpose any such
new director whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of an individual, corporation, partnership, group, associate or other entity or Person other than the Board, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;

  

	 	 (iii)
	 the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary owning directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the consolidated assets
of the Company (a “Significant Subsidiary”) with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving or resulting entity outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation; or 

  

	 	 (iv)
	 the stockholders of the Company approve a plan or agreement for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company
(other than such a sale or disposition immediately after which such assets will be owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the common stock of the Company
immediately prior to such sale or disposition) in which case the Board shall 

  

 9 

	 	 
determine the effective date of the Change in Control resulting therefrom. 

 For purposes of this definition:

Rule). 

  

	 	 (B)
	 The term “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, or any successor act thereto.

thereof, including “group” as defined in Section 14(d) thereof. 

 (d)        Voluntary Termination.  In the event of a termination of employment by Executive on his own initiative after delivery of 90 business days advance written notice, other than
a termination due to death, a termination with Good Reason, a Retirement pursuant to Section 8(f) below, or a voluntary termination by Executive on his own initiative pursuant to Section 8(e)(y), Executive shall have the same entitlements
as provided in Section 8(b)(iii) above for a termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any implication to the contrary, Executive shall not have the right to terminate his employment with the Company during the Term of Employment except in the
event of a termination with Good Reason, or Retirement, or a voluntary termination by Executive on his own initiative pursuant to Section 8(e)(y), and any voluntary termination of employment during the Term of Employment in violation of this
Agreement shall be considered a material breach. 
 (e)        Termination
Without Cause and Termination With Good Reason Following a Change in Control.    If either (x) Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause (which termination shall be effective
as of the date specified by the Company in a written notice to Executive), other than due to death or Disability, or in the event there is a termination with Good Reason (as defined above), in either case within one year following a Change in
Control (as defined above), or (y) Executive voluntarily terminates his employment on his own initiative on or after 275 days (but no later than 305 days) following a Change of Control, in either case of (x) or (y), Executive shall be
entitled to and his sole remedies under this Agreement shall be:

	 	 (ii)
	 an amount equal to 3 times the sum of (A) the Base Salary, at the annualized rate in effect on the date of termination of Executive’s 

  

 10 

	 	 
employment (or in the event a reduction in Base Salary is a basis for a termination with Good Reason, then the Base Salary in effect immediately prior to
such reduction), and (B) the greater of (x) the Target Bonus for the year of termination or (y) the actual prior year bonus, which amount shall be payable in lump sum within 15 days of termination of employment, unless otherwise
required to be paid in accordance with Section 8(j), 

  

	 	 (iii)
	 the balance of any incentive awards earned as of December 31 of the prior year (but not yet paid), which shall be paid in a single lump sum not later than
15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; 

  

	 	 (iv)
	 continued participation in the medical plan at the same benefit level at which he was participating on the date of the termination of his employment during the
applicable time period allowed for continuation of coverage under COBRA (the “COBRA Period”) until the earlier of the expiration of the Severance Period or the date on which Executive receives substantially comparable coverage and
benefits under the medical plan of a subsequent employer (the “Continued Participation Period”); provided, however, if the COBRA period terminates prior to the expiration of the Continued Participation Period, during the remainder
of the Continued Participation Period Executive will not be entitled to continued participation in the medical plan and the Company will pay directly to Executive, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to the amount previously expended monthly by the
Company for his continued participation in the medical plan; 

  

	 	 (v)
	 other or additional benefits then due or earned in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company, and; 

  

	 	 (vi)

	 Base Salary through the date of termination of Executive’s employment, which shall be paid in a single lump sum not later than 15 days following
Executive’s termination of employment; 

  

	 	 (ii)

sum not later than 15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; 

  

	 	 (iii)
	 the immediate vesting of all unvested equity awards held by Executive in existence as of the date of this Agreement; and 

  

	 	 (iv)
	 all other or additional benefits then due or earned in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company. 

 For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean Executive’s voluntary retirement from employment with the Company as
approved by the Board in its sole discretion. 
 (g)        No Mitigation; No

employment that he may obtain. 
 (h)        Nature of
Payments.    Any amounts due under this Section 8 are in the nature of severance payments considered to be reasonable by the Company and are not in the nature of a penalty. 
 (i)        No Further Liability; Release.  In the event of Executive’s
termination of employment, payment made and performance by the Company in accordance with this Section 8 shall operate to fully discharge and release the Company and its directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders,
successors, assigns, agents and representatives from any further obligation or liability with respect to Executive’s rights under this Agreement. Other than payment and performance under this Section 8, the Company and its directors,
officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, successors, assigns, agents and representatives shall have no further obligation or liability to Executive or any other person under this Agreement in the event of Executive’s
termination of employment. The Company conditions the payment of any severance or other amounts pursuant to this Section 8 upon the delivery by Executive to the Company of a release in the form satisfactory to the Company, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Attachment 1, releasing any and all claims Executive may have against the Company and its directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, successors, assigns, agents and representatives arising
out of this Agreement. 
 (j)        Section 409A Specified
Employee.    If the Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, any payments required to be made pursuant
to this Section 8 which are deferred compensation and subject to Section 409A of the Code (and do not qualify for an exemption thereunder) shall not commence until one day after the day which is six (6) months from the date of
termination. Should this Section 8(j) result in a delay of payments to the Executive, on the first day any such payments may be made without incurring a penalty pursuant to Section 409A (the “409A Payment Date”), the
Company shall begin to make such payments as described in this Section 8, provided that any amounts that would have been payable earlier but for application of this Section 8(j) shall be paid in lump-sum on the 409A Payment Date.

  

 12 

 (k)        Termination Without Cause Within
90 Days Prior to A Change in Control.    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause within 90 days prior to the date on which
the Change in Control occurs, such termination shall be deemed to have occurred after a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (l)        Financial Security For Payments Following a Change in Control.    Following a Change in Control, at the request of Executive, the Company
or its successor shall provide financial security reasonably acceptable to Executive for its obligations to make payments required by Section 8(e). 
 9.        Forfeiture Provisions. 
 (a)        Forfeiture of Stock Options and Other Awards and Gains Realized Upon Prior Option Exercises or Award Settlements and Severance Payments.    Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, upon termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, the Executive’s engaging in competition with the Company or any Subsidiary after a voluntary termination of employment pursuant to Section 8(d), or
Executive’s violation of any of the other restrictive covenants contained in Section 10, 11 or 12 (each a “Forfeiture Event”) while employed by the Company and for 24 months after such employment terminates, will result
in: 
  

	 	 (i)
	 The unexercised portion of any stock option, whether or not vested, and any other Award (as defined below) not then settled (except for an Award that has not
been settled solely due to an elective deferral by Executive and otherwise is not forfeitable in the event of any termination of Executive’s service) will be immediately forfeited and canceled upon the occurrence of the Forfeiture Event;

  

	 	 (ii)
	 Executive will be obligated to repay to the Company, in cash, within five business days after demand is made therefor by the Company, the total amount of Award
Gain (as defined herein) realized by Executive upon each exercise of a stock option or settlement of an Award (regardless of any elective deferral) that occurred (A) during the period commencing with the date that is 6 months prior to the
occurrence of the Forfeiture Event and the date 24 months after the Forfeiture Date, if the Forfeiture Event occurred while Executive was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or affiliate, or (B) during the period commencing 6 months prior
to the date Executive’s employment by the Company terminated and ending 24 months after the date of such termination, if the Forfeiture Event occurred after Executive ceased to be so employed. For purposes of this Section, the term
“Award Gain” shall mean (i), in respect of a given stock option exercise, the product of (X) the Fair Market Value per share of common stock at the date of such exercise (without regard to any subsequent change in the market

  

 13 

	 	 
price of shares) minus the exercise price times (Y) the number of shares as to which the stock option was exercised at that date, and (ii), in respect
of any other settlement of an Award granted to Executive, the Fair Market Value of the cash or stock paid or payable to Executive (regardless of any elective deferral) less any cash or the Fair Market Value of any stock or property (other than an
Award or award which would have itself then been forfeitable hereunder and excluding any payment of tax withholding) paid by Executive to the Company as a condition of or in connection such settlement; and 

  

	 	 (iii)
	 Executive will be obligated to repay to the Company, in cash, within five business days after demand is made therefor by the Company, the total amount of any
payments made by the Company to the Executive or on the Executive’s behalf under Sections 8(c)(ii), 8(c)(iv), 8(e)(ii), and 8(iv). 

 “Award” shall mean any cash award, stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, deferred stock, bonus stock, dividend equivalent, or other stock-based or performance-based award or
similar award, together with any related right or interest, granted to or held by Executive. 
 (b)        Committee Discretion.    The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part the Company’s right to forfeiture under this Section, but no such
waiver shall be effective unless evidenced by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. In addition, the Committee may impose additional conditions on Awards, by inclusion of appropriate provisions in the document evidencing or
governing any such Award. 
 Section 10.        Confidentiality; Cooperation
with Regard to Litigation; Non-Disparagement; Return of Company Materials. 
 (a)        During the Term of Employment and thereafter, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, disclose to anyone (except in good faith in the ordinary course of
business to a person who will be advised by Executive to keep such information confidential) or make use of any Confidential Information (as defined below), except in the performance of his duties hereunder or when required to do so by legal
process, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) that requires him to divulge, disclose or make accessible such
information. In the event that Executive is so ordered, he shall give prompt written notice to the Company in order to allow the Company the opportunity to object to or otherwise resist such order. 
 (b)        During the Term of Employment and thereafter, Executive shall not disclose the
existence or contents of this Agreement beyond what is disclosed in the proxy statement or documents filed with the government unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law, by a governmental agency, or in a document required by law to
be filed with a governmental agency or in connection with enforcement of his rights under this Agreement. This restriction shall not apply to such disclosure by him to members of his immediate family, his tax, 

  

 14 

 
legal or financial advisors, any lender, or tax authorities, or to potential future employers to the extent necessary, each of whom shall be advised not to
disclose such information. 
 (c)        “Confidential Information”
shall mean (i) all information concerning the business of the Company or any Subsidiary including information relating to any of their products, product development, trade secrets, customers, suppliers, finances, and business plans and
strategies, and (ii) information regarding the organization structure and the names, titles, status, compensation, benefits and other proprietary employment-related aspects of the employees of the Company and the Company’s employment
practices. Excluded from the definition of Confidential Information is information (A) that is or becomes part of the public domain, other than through the breach of this Agreement by Executive or (B) regarding the Company’s business
or industry properly acquired by Executive in the course of his career as an executive in the Company’s industry and independent of Executive’s employment by the Company. For this purpose, information known or available generally within
the trade or industry of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be known or available to the public. 
 (d)        “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation controlled directly or indirectly by the Company. 
 (e)        Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination
of employment for any reason), by making himself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to assist the Company, or
any Subsidiary, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, or any Subsidiary as requested; provided,
however that the same does not materially interfere with his then current professional activities. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive, on an after-tax basis, for all expenses actually incurred in connection with his provision of testimony or
assistance. 
 (f)        The Executive agrees that, during the Term of Employment
and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) he will not make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action
which may, directly or indirectly, disparage the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations. The Company agrees that, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including
following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) the Company will not make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may directly
or indirectly, disparage Executive or his business or reputation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude either Executive or the Company from making truthful statements or disclosures that are required by applicable
law, regulation, or legal process. 
 (g)        Executive recognizes that all
Confidential Information and copies or reproductions thereof, relating to the Company’s operations and activities made or received by Executive in the course of his Employment are the exclusive property of the Company. Upon any 

  

 15 

 
termination of employment, Executive agrees to deliver any Company property and any documents, notes, drawings, specifications, computer software, data and
other materials of any nature pertaining to any Confidential Information that are held by Executive and will not take any of the foregoing, or any reproduction of any of the foregoing, that is embodied an any tangible medium of expression, provided
that the foregoing shall not prohibit Executive from retaining his personal phone directories and rolodexes. 
 Section 11.        Non-competition/Prior Employment Covenants. 
 (a)        During Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether individually or as an employee,
consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity with any corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity,
carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another to carry on or engage in, any other business, work or activity similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its affiliates. During the Restriction Period (as defined below), Executive
shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether individually or as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a
publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity with any corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity, (i) carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another to carry on or engage in, any other business, work or activity
similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its affiliates in the geographical areas listed on Attachment 2 (the “Restricted Areas”) in which the Company or its affiliates are then engaged in business, and
(ii) soliciting customers of the Company or its affiliates in the Restricted Area. The Parties acknowledge that the Company is expanding and in order to prevent ongoing, repetitious amendments to this Agreement solely for the purpose of
updating the Restricted Areas, the Parties agree that the Restricted Areas, inclusive of Attachment 2, shall be self-amending to include all parishes, counties and States in which the Company conducts business or actively solicits business at
any time during Executive’s employment with the Company and in no event shall such Restricted Areas be less than that contained in Attachment 2. The Parties intend and agree that Executive’s continued employment thereafter shall
serve as the Parties’ constructive acceptance of an amendment to enlarge the Restricted Areas. 
 (b)        For the purposes of this Section 11, “Restriction Period” shall mean the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending with: 
  

	 	 (i)
	 in the case of a termination of Executive’s employment without Cause or a termination with Good Reason, pursuant to Section 8(c)(whether during or
after the Term of Employment), the Restriction Period shall terminate on the date that the last severance payment is made to Executive; 

  

	 	 (ii)
	 in the case of a termination of Executive’s employment for Cause or in the case of a voluntary termination of Executive’s employment 

  

 16 

	 	 
pursuant to Section 8(d) above(whether during or after the Term of Employment), 24 months from the date of such termination;

  

	 	 (iii)
	 in the case of a Retirement pursuant to Section 8(f) above or a termination due to Disability pursuant to Section 8(a) above, 24 months from the date
of Retirement or the date of termination due to Disability; 

  

	 	 (iv)
	 in the case of any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(e) above, 24 months from the date of such termination.

 (c)        The Executive represents and warrants to the Company
that performance of the Executive’s duties pursuant to this Agreement will not violate any agreements with or trade secrets of any other person or entity or previous employers, including without limitation agreements containing provisions
against solicitation or competition. 
 Section 12.        Non-solicitation
of Employees and Customers.    During the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending 24 months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall not induce: (i) employees
of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their employment (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prevent Executive from engaging in generic non-targeted advertising for employees generally), or (ii) customers of
the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their relationship with the Company, within the Restricted Areas. During such period, Executive shall not hire, either directly or through any employee, agent or representative, any employee of the Company
or any Subsidiary or any person who was employed by the Company or any Subsidiary within 180 days of such hiring. 
 Section 13.        Remedies.    In addition to whatever other rights and remedies the Company may have at equity or in law (including without limitation, the right to
seek monetary damages), if Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Sections 10, 11 or 12, the Company (a) shall have its rights under Section 9 of this Agreement, (b) shall have the right to immediately terminate all
payments and benefits due under this Agreement and (c) shall have the right to seek injunctive relief, without the requirement to prove actual damages or to post any bond or other security. Executive hereby waves the requirement of posting bond
or other security and acknowledges that such a breach of Sections 10, 11 or 12 would cause irreparable injury and that money damages alone would not provide an adequate remedy for the Company; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prevent
Executive from contesting the issuance of any such injunction on the ground that no violation or threatened violation of Sections 10, 11 or 12 has occurred. 
 Section 14.        Resolution of Disputes.    In the event that either Party to this Agreement has any claim, right or
cause of action against the other Party to this Agreement, which the Parties are unable to settle by agreement between themselves, such claim, right or cause of action, to the extent that the relief sought by such Party is for monetary damages or
awards, will be determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14. 
  

 17 

 (a)        The Party claiming a cause of action
or breach of this Agreement shall first provide the other Party with written notice of the breach. If the breach is not remedied within 15 days of said notice, the Party claiming the breach may request arbitration by serving upon the other a demand
therefor, in writing, specifying the matter to be submitted to arbitration, and nominating a competent disinterested person to act as an arbitrator. Within 15 days after receipt of such written demand and nomination, the other Party will, in
writing, nominate a competent disinterested person, and the two arbitrators so designated will, within 15 days thereafter, select a third arbitrator. The three arbitrators will give immediate written notice of such selection to the Parties and will
fix in said notice a time and place of the meeting of the arbitrators which will be in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where all proceedings will be conducted, and will be held as soon as conveniently possible (but in no event later than 45 days after the
appointment of the third arbitrator), at which time and place the Parties to the controversy will appear and be heard with respect to the right, claim or cause of action. In case the notified Party or Parties will fail to make a selection upon
notice within the time period specified, the Party asserting such claim will appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the notified Party. In the event that the first two arbitrators selected will fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within 15 days after
their selection, then such arbitrator may, upon application made by either of the Parties to the controversy, be appointed by any judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. 
 (b)        Each Party will present such testimony, examinations and investigations in accordance
with such procedures and regulations as may be determined by the arbitrators and will also recommend to the arbitrators a monetary award to be adopted by the arbitrators as the complete disposition of such claim, right or cause of action. After
hearing the Parties in regard to the matter in dispute, the arbitrators will make their determination with respect to such claim, right or cause of action, within 30 days of the completion of the examination, by majority decision signed in writing
(together with a brief written statement of the reasons for adopting such recommendation), and will deliver such written determination to each of the Parties. The decision of said arbitrators, absent fraud, duress or manifest error, will be final
and binding upon the Parties to such controversy and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators may consult with and engage disinterested third parties to advise the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall not award any
punitive damages. If any of the arbitrators selected hereunder should die, resign or be unable to perform his or her duties hereunder, the remaining arbitrators or any judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana
shall select a replacement arbitrator. The procedure set forth in this Section for selecting the arbitrators shall be followed from time to time as necessary. As to any claim, controversy, dispute or disagreement that under the terms hereof is made
subject to arbitration, no lawsuit based on such matters shall be instituted by any of the Parties, other than to compel arbitration proceedings or enforce the award of a majority of the arbitrators. All privileges under Louisiana and federal law,
including attorney-client and work-product privileges, shall be preserved and protected to the same extent that such privileges would be protected in a federal court proceeding applying Louisiana law. 
 (c)        The Company shall be responsible for advancing the cost of the arbitrators as well as
the other costs of the arbitration. Each Party will pay the fees and expenses of its own counsel. 
 (d)        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 14, in the event that a 

  

 18 

 
Party against whom any claim, right or cause of action is asserted commences, or has commenced against it, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, the
Party or Parties asserting such claim, right or cause of action will have no obligations under this Section 14 and may assert such claim, right or cause of action in the manner and forum it deems appropriate, subject to applicable laws. No
determination or decision by the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 14 will limit or restrict the ability of any Party hereto to obtain or seek in any appropriate forum, any relief or remedy that is not a monetary award or money damages.

 (e)        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 14, if the
Company is seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a dispute arising under or in connection with Sections 10, 11, or 12, the arbitration requirements of this Section 14 shall not apply. 
 (f)        Any court proceedings relating to this Agreement shall be filed exclusively in the
federal and state courts domiciled in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the Parties hereto consent to the venue and jurisdiction of such courts. 
 Section 15.        Indemnification. 
 (a)        Company Indemnity.    The Company agrees that if Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any
Subsidiary as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is
Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the
Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or resolutions of the Company’s Board or, if greater, by the laws of the State of Louisiana against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s
fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith, provided Executive provides Company with prompt notice of such action or
threatened action. Such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, officer, employee or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors and
administrators. The Company shall advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses to be incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance. Such request shall
include an undertaking by Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses. The provisions of this Section 15(a) shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Executive may be entitled or which may be granted to him, and it shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification to which he may be entitled under any policy of insurance. 

(b)        No Presumption Regarding Standard of Conduct.  Neither the
failure of the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a 

  

 19 

 
determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding concerning payment of amounts claimed by Executive under Section 15(a) above that
indemnification of Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that Executive has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall create a presumption that Executive has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 Section 16.
Excise Taxes.        (a)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, or any other agreement, plan or arrangement to the contrary, if any portion of the Contingent Payments made or to be
made to the Executive would result in the imposition of an Excise Tax, then: 
     (i) if the After-Tax
Proceeds With Gross-Up exceed the After-Tax Proceeds With Cut-Back, the Company shall pay to Executive an amount in cash equal to the Gross-Up Amount; or 
     (ii) if the After-Tax Proceeds With Cut-Back exceed the After-Tax Proceeds With Gross-Up, Executive shall not be paid the Gross-Up Amount and the aggregate amount of all payments to which
Executive is entitled under this Agreement and all other agreements, plans and arrangements shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary so that the aggregate present value of such payments equals no more than 299% of Executive’s Base
Amount. 
 (b)  All determinations required under this Section 16 shall be made by the Company’s
independent accountants or compensation consultants, after due consideration of Executive’s comments with respect to the interpretation hereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto, subject to
a Final Determination. 
 (c)      For purposes of this Section 16: 
 “After-Tax Proceeds With Cut-Back” shall mean the fair market value of all Contingent Payments to Executive reduced to
the minimum extent necessary so that the aggregate present value of such payments equals 299% of the Executive’s Base Amount, and reduced further by the aggregate amount of all Taxes which would be imposed on Executive with respect to such
Contingent Payments. The amount of Taxes deemed imposed with respect to such Contingent Payments shall be determined as if all events that could give rise to a Tax with respect to such Contingent Payments had occurred. 
 “After-Tax Proceeds With Gross-Up” shall mean the fair market value of all Contingent Payments to the Executive plus
the Gross-Up Amount, reduced by the aggregate amount of all Taxes which would be imposed on Executive with respect to such Contingent Payments. The amount of Taxes deemed imposed with respect to such Contingent Payments shall be determined as if all
events that could give rise to a Tax with respect to such Contingent Payments had occurred. 
 “Base
Amount” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or any successor provisions of law. 
  

 20 

 “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any
successor provision of law. 
 “Contingent Payments” shall mean all payments in the nature of compensation
payable to (or for the benefit of) Executive which would otherwise be treated as “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code) determined as if the thresholds set forth in
Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code were satisfied with respect to Executive. 
 “Excise Tax” shall
mean any Tax imposed upon Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. 
 “Final Determination”
shall mean any final determination of liability that, under applicable law, is not subject to further appeal, review or modification through proceedings or otherwise, including but not limited to the expiration of a statute of limitations or a
period for the filing of claims for refunds, amended returns or appeals from adverse determinations. 
 “Gross-Up
Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the quotient equal to (A) the aggregate excise taxes which would be imposed on Executive under Section 4999 of the Code in connection with a Change in Control of
the Company, determined without regard to the provisions of this Section 16, divided by (B) one minus the highest marginal income and excise Tax rate applicable to Executive for the calendar year in which occurred the Change in Control,
determined as if all Contingent Payments were paid without regard to the provisions of this Section 16. 
 “Taxes” shall mean all federal, state and local income, employment and excise taxes (including Excise Taxes) imposed by any governmental authority. 
 Section 17.        Effect of Agreement on Other Benefits.  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the existence of this
Agreement shall not be interpreted to preclude, prohibit or restrict Executive’s participation in any other employee benefit or other plans or programs in which he currently participates. 
 Section 18.        Assignability: Binding Nature.  This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs (in the case of Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company
except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred in connection with a Change of Control of the Company, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and such
assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. The Company further agrees that, in the event of a Change of Control, it shall take
whatever action it legally can in order to cause such assignee or transferee to expressly assume the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company hereunder. No rights or obligations of Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or
transferred by Executive other than his rights to compensation and benefits, which may be transferred only by will or operation of law, except as provided in Section 24 below. 
  

 21 

 Section 19.        Representation.    The Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement and that the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not violate any agreement between it and any other person, firm or organization. Executive hereby represents to the Company that he is physically and mentally capable of performing his duties
hereunder and he has no knowledge of any present or past physical or mental conditions which would cause him not to be able to perform his duties hereunder. 
 Section 20.        Entire Agreement.    This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties
concerning the subject matter hereof and, as of the Effective Date, supersedes the Prior Agreement and any other agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect
thereto, including, without limitation any prior change in control agreement between the Parties. 
 Section 21.        Amendment or Waiver.  No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and an authorized
officer of the Company. Except as set forth herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of or an acquiescence to any
breach hereof. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the
same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Executive or an authorized officer of the Company, as the case may be. 
 Section 22.        Severability.  In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any
reason, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Specifically, but without limitation, the parties agree that if any
court of competent jurisdiction finds that any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses, sections, subdivisions, or subparagraphs contained in Sections 10, 11, or 12 is overly broad or unenforceable, then the Agreement should be reduced
or amended to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowable under applicable law. 
 Section 23.        Survivorship.      The respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall survive any termination of Executive’s
employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations. 
 Section 24.        Beneficiaries/References. 
 Executive shall
be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice
thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative.

  

 22 

 Section 25.        Governing

 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
Louisiana without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Subject to Section 14, the Company and Executive hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any or all of the following courts for purposes of resolving any dispute under this Agreement:
(i) the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana or (ii) the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana. The Company and Executive further agree that any service of
process or notice requirements in any such proceeding shall be satisfied if the rules of such court relating thereto have been substantially satisfied. The Company and Executive hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection which it or he may now or hereafter have to such jurisdiction and any defense of inconvenient forum. 
 Section 26.        Notices. 
       Any notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing, and delivered or mailed, and if mailed, postage prepaid, certified, return receipt requested and addressed to the Company and to the Employee at

 7

terminates prior to the expiration of the Continued Participation Period, during the remainder of the Continued Participation Period Executive will not be entitled to continued participation in the medical plan and the Company will pay directly to
Executive, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to the amount previously expended monthly by the Company for his continued participation in the medical plan, and 

  

	 	 (v)
	 other or additional benefits then due or earned in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company. 

 A termination with “Good Reason” shall mean a termination of Executive’s employment at his initiative as provided

conditions described above within 90 days of the existence of the condition, and the Company is provided at least 30 days to cure the condition. 
 A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: 
  

	 	 (i)
	 any Person (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned,
directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the occurrence with respect to which the evaluation is being made in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the common stock of the Company) becomes
the Beneficial Owner (except that a Person shall be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of all shares that any such Person has the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement or arrangement or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or 

  

 8 

	 	 
options or otherwise, without regard to the sixty day period referred to in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary (as defined below), representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s or such subsidiary’s then outstanding securities; 

  

	 	 (ii)
	 during any 12-month period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a
person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i), (iii), or (iv) of this paragraph) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved
by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the twelve-month period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved but excluding for this purpose any
such new director whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of an individual, corporation, partnership, group, associate or other entity or Person other than the Board, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;

  

	 	 (iii)
	 the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary owning directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the consolidated assets
of the Company (a “Significant Subsidiary”) with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving or resulting entity outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation; or 

  

	 	 (iv)
	 the stockholders of the Company approve a plan or agreement for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company
(other than such a sale or disposition immediately after which such assets will be owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the common stock of the Company
immediately prior to such sale or disposition) in which case the Board shall determine the effective date of the Change in Control resulting therefrom. 

 For purposes of this definition: 
  

 9

a termination due to death, a termination with Good Reason, or a Retirement pursuant to Section 8(f) below, Executive shall have the same entitlements as provided in Section 8(b)(iii) above for a termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any
implication to the contrary, Executive shall not have the right to terminate his employment with the Company during the Term of Employment except in the event of a termination with Good Reason, or Retirement, and any voluntary termination of
employment during the Term of Employment in violation of this Agreement shall be considered a material breach. 
 (e)        Termination Without Cause and Termination With Good Reason Following a Change in Control.  In the event Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the
Company without Cause (which termination shall be effective as of the date specified by the Company in a written notice to Executive), other than due to death or Disability, or in the event there is a termination with Good Reason (as defined above),
in either case within one year following a Change in Control (as defined above), Executive shall be entitled to and his sole remedies under this Agreement shall be:

Executive’s termination of employment; 

  

	 	 (ii)
	 an amount equal to 2 times the sum of (A) the Base Salary, at the annualized rate in effect on the date of termination of Executive’s employment (or in
the event a reduction in Base Salary is a basis for a termination with Good Reason, then the Base Salary in effect immediately prior to such reduction), and (B) the greater of (x) the Target Bonus for the year of termination or
(y) the actual prior year bonus, which amount shall be payable in lump sum within 15 days of termination of employment, unless otherwise required to be paid in accordance with Section 8(j),

	 the balance of any incentive awards earned as of December 31 of the prior year (but not yet paid), which shall be paid in a single lump sum not later than
15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; 

  

	 	 (iv)
	 continued participation in the medical plan at the same benefit level at which he was participating on the date of the termination of his employment during the
applicable time period allowed for continuation of coverage under COBRA (the “COBRA Period”) until the earlier of the expiration of the Severance Period or the date on which Executive receives substantially comparable coverage and
benefits under the medical plan of a subsequent employer (the “Continued Participation Period”); provided, however, if the COBRA period terminates prior to the expiration of the Continued Participation Period, during the remainder
of the Continued Participation Period Executive will not be entitled to continued participation in the medical plan and the Company will pay directly to Executive, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to the amount previously expended monthly by the
Company for his continued participation in the medical plan; 

  

	 	 (v)
	 other or additional benefits then due or earned in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company, and; 

  

	 	 (vi)
	 all awards made to the Executive prior to the date of this Agreement shall vest and Executive shall be entitled to the benefit of all such awards immediately
upon a Change of Control.

	 	 (i)
	 Base Salary through the date of termination of Executive’s employment, which shall be paid in a single lump sum not later than 15 days following
Executive’s termination of employment; 

  

	 	 (ii)
	 the balance of any incentive awards earned as of December 31 of the prior year (but not yet paid), which shall be paid in a single lump sum not later than
15 days following Executive’s termination of employment;

	 the immediate vesting of all unvested equity awards held by Executive in existence as of the date of this Agreement; and 

  

	 	 (iv)
	 all other or additional benefits then due or earned in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company. 

  

 11 

 For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean Executive’s voluntary
retirement from employment with the Company as approved by the Board in its sole discretion. 
 (g)        No Mitigation; No Offset.  In the event of any termination of employment, Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment; amounts due Executive under this
Agreement shall not be offset by any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that he may obtain. 
 (h)        Nature of Payments.  Any amounts due under this Section 8 are in the nature of severance payments considered to be reasonable by the Company and are not in the nature
of a penalty. 
 (i)        No Further Liability; Release.  In the
event of Executive’s termination of employment, payment made and performance by the Company in accordance with this Section 8 shall operate to fully discharge and release the Company and its directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries,
affiliates, stockholders, successors, assigns, agents and representatives from any further obligation or liability with respect to Executive’s rights under this Agreement. Other than payment and performance under this Section 8, the
Company and its directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, successors, assigns, agents and representatives shall have no further obligation or liability to Executive or any other person under this Agreement in the event
of Executive’s termination of employment. The Company conditions the payment of any severance or other amounts pursuant to this Section 8 upon the delivery by Executive to the Company of a release in the form satisfactory to the Company,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment 1, releasing any and all claims Executive may have against the Company and its directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, successors, assigns, agents and
representatives arising out of this Agreement. 
 (j)        Section 409A
Specified Employee.    If the Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, any payments required to be made
pursuant to this Section 8 which are deferred compensation and subject to Section 409A of the Code (and do not qualify for an exemption thereunder) shall not commence until one day after the day which is six (6) months from the date
of termination. Should this Section 8(j) result in a delay of payments to the Executive, on the first day any such payments may be made without incurring a penalty pursuant to Section 409A (the “409A Payment Date”), the
Company shall begin to make such payments as described in this Section 8, provided that any amounts that would have been payable earlier but for application of this Section 8(j) shall be paid in lump-sum on the 409A Payment Date.

 (k)        Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause within 90 days prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, such termination shall be deemed to have occurred after a Change in Control for purposes of this
Agreement.

 9.        Forfeiture Provisions.

 (a)        Forfeiture of Stock Options and Other Awards and Gains Realized
Upon Prior Option Exercises or Award Settlements.    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, the Executive’s engaging in competition with the Company or
any Subsidiary after a voluntary termination of employment pursuant to Section 8(d), or Executive’s violation of any of the other restrictive covenants contained in Section 10, 11 or 12 (each a “Forfeiture Event) while
employed by the Company and for 18 months after such employment terminates, will result in: 
  

	 	 (i)
	 The unexercised portion of any stock option, whether or not vested, and any other Award (as defined below) not then settled (except for an Award that has not
been settled solely due to an elective deferral by Executive and otherwise is not forfeitable in the event of any termination of Executive’s service) will be immediately forfeited and canceled upon the occurrence of the Forfeiture Event;

  

	 	 (ii)
	 Executive will be obligated to repay to the Company, in cash, within five business days after demand is made therefor by the Company, the total amount of Award
Gain (as defined herein) realized by Executive upon each exercise of a stock option or settlement of an Award (regardless of any elective deferral) that occurred (A) during the period commencing with the date that is 6 months prior to the
occurrence of the Forfeiture Event and the date 18 months after the Forfeiture Date, if the Forfeiture Event occurred while Executive was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or affiliate, or (B) during the period commencing 6 months prior
to the date Executive’s employment by the Company terminated and ending 18 months after the date of such termination, if the Forfeiture Event occurred after Executive ceased to be so employed. For purposes of this Section, the term
“Award Gain” shall mean (i), in respect of a given stock option exercise, the product of (X) the Fair Market Value per share of common stock at the date of such exercise (without regard to any subsequent change in the market
price of shares) minus the exercise price times (Y) the number of shares as to which the stock option was exercised at that date, and (ii), in respect of any other settlement of an Award granted to Executive, the Fair Market Value of the cash
or stock paid or payable to Executive (regardless of any elective deferral) less any cash or the Fair Market Value of any stock or property (other than an Award or award which would have itself then been forfeitable hereunder and excluding any
payment of tax withholding) paid by Executive to the Company as a condition of or in connection such settlement; and 

  

	 	 (iii)
	 Executive will be obligated to repay to the Company, in cash, within five business days after demand is made therefor by the Company, the total amount of any
payments made by the Company to the Executive 

  

 13 

	 	 
or on the Executive’s behalf under Sections 8(c)(ii), 8(c)(iv), 8(e)(ii), and 8(iv). 

 “Award” shall mean any cash award, stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, deferred stock, bonus stock, dividend
equivalent, or other stock-based or performance-based award or similar award, together with any related right or interest, granted to or held by Executive. 
 (b)        Committee Discretion.    The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part the Company’s right to
forfeiture under this Section, but no such waiver shall be effective unless evidenced by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. In addition, the Committee may impose additional conditions on Awards, by inclusion of appropriate
provisions in the document evidencing or governing any such Award. 
 Section 10.        Confidentiality; Cooperation with Regard to Litigation; Non-Disparagement; Return of Company Materials. 
 (a)        During the Term of Employment and thereafter, Executive shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, disclose to anyone (except in good faith in the ordinary course of business to a person who will be advised by Executive to keep such information confidential) or make use of any Confidential Information (as defined
below), except in the performance of his duties hereunder or when required to do so by legal process, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a
committee thereof) that requires him to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. In the event that Executive is so ordered, he shall give prompt written notice to the Company in order to allow the Company the opportunity to object to
or otherwise resist such order. 
 (b)        During the Term of Employment and
thereafter, Executive shall not disclose the existence or contents of this Agreement beyond what is disclosed in the proxy statement or documents filed with the government unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law, by a
governmental agency, or in a document required by law to be filed with a governmental agency or in connection with enforcement of his rights under this Agreement. This restriction shall not apply to such disclosure by him to members of his immediate
family, his tax, legal or financial advisors, any lender, or tax authorities, or to potential future employers to the extent necessary, each of whom shall be advised not to disclose such information. 
 (c)        “Confidential Information” shall mean (i) all information
concerning the business of the Company or any Subsidiary including information relating to any of their products, product development, trade secrets, customers, suppliers, finances, and business plans and strategies, and (ii) information
regarding the organization structure and the names, titles, status, compensation, benefits and other proprietary employment-related aspects of the employees of the Company and the Company’s employment practices. Excluded from the definition of
Confidential Information is information (A) that is or becomes part of the public domain, other than through the breach of this Agreement by Executive or (B) regarding the Company’s business or industry properly acquired by Executive
in the course of his career as an executive in the Company’s industry and independent of Executive’s employment by the Company. For this 

  

 14 

 
purpose, information known or available generally within the trade or industry of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be known or available to
the public. 
 (d)        “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation
controlled directly or indirectly by the Company. 
 (e)        Executive agrees to
cooperate with the Company, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason), by making himself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in
any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to assist the Company, or any Subsidiary, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or
its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, or any Subsidiary as requested; provided, however that the same does not materially interfere with his then current professional activities. The Company agrees to
reimburse Executive, on an after-tax basis, for all expenses actually incurred in connection with his provision of testimony or assistance. 
 (f)        The Executive agrees that, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) he will not
make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective officers,
directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations. The Company agrees that, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) the Company will not make statements or
representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may directly or indirectly, disparage Executive or his business or reputation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
this Agreement shall preclude either Executive or the Company from making truthful statements or disclosures that are required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process. 
 (g)        Executive recognizes that all Confidential Information and copies or reproductions thereof, relating to the Company’s operations and
activities made or received by Executive in the course of his Employment are the exclusive property of the Company. Upon any termination of employment, Executive agrees to deliver any Company property and any documents, notes, drawings,
specifications, computer software, data and other materials of any nature pertaining to any Confidential Information that are held by Executive and will not take any of the foregoing, or any reproduction of any of the foregoing, that is embodied an
any tangible medium of expression, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Executive from retaining his personal phone directories and rolodexes. 
 Section 11.        Non-competition/Prior Employment Covenants. 
 (a)        During Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether
individually or as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity 

  

 15 

 
with any corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity, carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another to carry on or engage in, any other
business, work or activity similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its affiliates. During the Restriction Period (as defined below), Executive shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly or
indirectly, whether individually or as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity with any
corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity, (i) carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another to carry on or engage in, any other business, work or activity similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its
affiliates in the geographical areas listed on Attachment 2 (the “Restricted Areas”) in which the Company or its affiliates are then engaged in business and (ii) soliciting customers of the Company or its affiliates in
the Restricted Area. The Parties acknowledge that the Company is expanding and in order to prevent ongoing, repetitious amendments to this Agreement solely for the purpose of updating the Restricted Areas, the Parties agree that the Restricted
Areas, inclusive of Attachment 2, shall be self-amending to include all parishes, counties and States in which the Company conducts business or actively solicits business at any time during Executive’s employment with the Company and in
no event shall such Restricted Areas be less than that contained in Attachment 2. The Parties intend and agree that Executive’s continued employment thereafter shall serve as the Parties’ constructive acceptance of an amendment to
enlarge the Restricted Areas. 
 (b)        For the purposes of this
Section 11, “Restriction Period” shall mean the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending with: 
  

	 	 (i)
	 in the case of a termination of Executive’s employment without Cause or a termination with Good Reason, pursuant to Section 8(c)(whether during or
after the Term of Employment), the Restriction Period shall terminate on the date that the last severance payment is made to Executive; 

  

	 	 (ii)
	 in the case of a termination of Executive’s employment for Cause or in the case of a voluntary termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to
Section 8(d) above (whether during or after the Term of Employment), 18 months from the date of such termination; 

  

	 	 (iii)
	 in the case of a Retirement pursuant to Section 8(f) above or a termination due to Disability pursuant to 8(a) above, 18 months from the date of Retirement
or the date of the termination due to Disability; 

  

	 	 (iv)
	 in the case of any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(e) above, 18 months from the date of such termination.

  

 16 

 (c)        The Executive represents and warrants
to the Company that performance of the Executive’s duties pursuant to this Agreement will not violate any agreements with or trade secrets of any other person or entity or previous employers, including without limitation agreements containing
provisions against solicitation or competition. 
 Section 12.      Non-solicitation of
Employees and Customers.      During the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending 18 months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall not induce:
(i) employees of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their employment (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prevent Executive from engaging in generic non-targeted advertising for employees generally), or
(ii) customers of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their relationship with the Company, within the Restricted Areas. During such period, Executive shall not hire, either directly or through any employee, agent or representative, any
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or any person who was employed by the Company or any Subsidiary within 180 days of such hiring. 
 Section 13.      Remedies.    In addition to whatever other rights and remedies the Company may have at equity or in law (including without limitation, the
right to seek monetary damages), if Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Sections 10, 11 or 12, the Company (a) shall have its rights under Section 9 of this Agreement, (b) shall have the right to immediately
terminate all payments and benefits due under this Agreement and (c) shall have the right to seek injunctive relief, without the requirement to prove actual damages or to post any bond or other security. Executive hereby waves the requirement
of posting bond or other security and acknowledges that such a breach of Sections 10, 11 or 12 would cause irreparable injury and that money damages alone would not provide an adequate remedy for the Company; provided, however, the foregoing shall
not prevent Executive from contesting the issuance of any such injunction on the ground that no violation or threatened violation of Sections 10, 11 or 12 has occurred. 
 Section 14.      Resolution of Disputes.    In the event that either Party to this Agreement has any claim, right or cause of action
against the other Party to this Agreement, which the Parties are unable to settle by agreement between themselves, such claim, right or cause of action, to the extent that the relief sought by such Party is for monetary damages or awards, will be
determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14. 
 (a)        The Party claiming a cause of action or breach of this Agreement shall first provide the other Party with written notice of the breach. If the breach is not remedied within 15 days of said
notice, the Party claiming the breach may request arbitration by serving upon the other a demand therefor, in writing, specifying the matter to be submitted to arbitration, and nominating a competent disinterested person to act as an arbitrator.
Within 15 days after receipt of such written demand and nomination, the other Party will, in writing, nominate a competent disinterested person, and the two arbitrators so designated will, within 15 days thereafter, select a third arbitrator. The
three arbitrators will give immediate written notice of such selection to the Parties and will fix in said notice a time and place of the meeting of the arbitrators which will be in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where all proceedings will be conducted,
and will be held as soon as conveniently possible (but in no event later than 45 days after the appointment of the third 

  

 17 

 
arbitrator), at which time and place the Parties to the controversy will appear and be heard with respect to the right, claim or cause of action. In case the
notified Party or Parties will fail to make a selection upon notice within the time period specified, the Party asserting such claim will appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the notified Party. In the event that the first two arbitrators selected
will fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within 15 days after their selection, then such arbitrator may, upon application made by either of the Parties to the controversy, be appointed by any judge of the United States District Court for the
Middle District of Louisiana. 
 (b)        Each Party will present such testimony,
examinations and investigations in accordance with such procedures and regulations as may be determined by the arbitrators and will also recommend to the arbitrators a monetary award to be adopted by the arbitrators as the complete disposition of
such claim, right or cause of action. After hearing the Parties in regard to the matter in dispute, the arbitrators will make their determination with respect to such claim, right or cause of action, within 30 days of the completion of the
examination, by majority decision signed in writing (together with a brief written statement of the reasons for adopting such recommendation), and will deliver such written determination to each of the Parties. The decision of said arbitrators,
absent fraud, duress or manifest error, will be final and binding upon the Parties to such controversy and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators may consult with and engage disinterested third parties to advise the
arbitrators. The arbitrators shall not award any punitive damages. If any of the arbitrators selected hereunder should die, resign or be unable to perform his or her duties hereunder, the remaining arbitrators or any judge of the United States
District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana shall select a replacement arbitrator. The procedure set forth in this Section for selecting the arbitrators shall be followed from time to time as necessary. As to any claim, controversy, dispute
or disagreement that under the terms hereof is made subject to arbitration, no lawsuit based on such matters shall be instituted by any of the Parties, other than to compel arbitration proceedings or enforce the award of a majority of the
arbitrators. All privileges under Louisiana and federal law, including attorney-client and work-product privileges, shall be preserved and protected to the same extent that such privileges would be protected in a federal court proceeding applying
Louisiana law. 
 (c)        The Company shall be responsible for advancing the cost
of the arbitrators as well as the other costs of the arbitration. Each Party will pay the fees and expenses of its own counsel. 
 (d)        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 14, in the event that a Party against whom any claim, right or cause of action is asserted commences, or has commenced against it,
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, the Party or Parties asserting such claim, right or cause of action will have no obligations under this Section 14 and may assert such claim, right or cause of action in the manner and forum it
deems appropriate, subject to applicable laws. No determination or decision by the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 14 will limit or restrict the ability of any Party hereto to obtain or seek in any appropriate forum, any relief or remedy
that is not a monetary award or money damages. 
 (e)        Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Section 14, if the Company is seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a dispute arising under or in connection with Sections 10, 11, or 12, the arbitration requirements of this Section 14 shall not apply.

  

 18 

 (f)        Any court proceedings relating to
this Agreement shall be filed exclusively in the federal and state courts domiciled in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the Parties hereto consent to the venue and jurisdiction of such courts. 
 Section 15.        Indemnification. 
 (a)        Company Indemnity.    The Company agrees that if Executive
is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, Executive shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or resolutions of the Company’s Board or, if greater, by the laws of the State of Louisiana
against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive in
connection therewith, provided Executive provides Company with prompt notice of such action or threatened action. Such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, officer, employee or agent of the
Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses to be incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20
days after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance. Such request shall include an undertaking by Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified
against such costs and expenses. The provisions of this Section 15(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Executive may be entitled or which may be granted to him, and it shall be in addition to any
rights of indemnification to which he may be entitled under any policy of insurance. 
 (b)        No Presumption Regarding Standard of Conduct.  Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding concerning payment of amounts claimed by Executive under Section 15(a) above that indemnification of Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor a
determination by the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Executive has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 Section 16.  Excise
Taxes.        (a)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, or any other agreement, plan or arrangement to the contrary, if any portion of the Contingent Payments made or to be made to
the Executive would result in the imposition of an Excise Tax, then: 
  

 19 

     (i) if the After-Tax Proceeds With Gross-Up exceed the After-Tax
Proceeds With Cut-Back, the Company shall pay to Executive an amount in cash equal to the Gross-Up Amount; or 
     (ii) if the After-Tax Proceeds With Cut-Back exceed the After-Tax Proceeds With Gross-Up, Executive shall not be paid the Gross-Up Amount and the aggregate amount of all payments to which Executive is entitled under
this Agreement and all other agreements, plans and arrangements shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary so that the aggregate present value of such payments equals no more than 299% of Executive’s Base Amount. 
 (b)  All determinations required under this Section 16 shall be made by the Company’s independent accountants or
compensation consultants, after due consideration of Executive’s comments with respect to the interpretation hereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto, subject to a Final Determination.

 (c)      For purposes of this Section 16: 
 “After-Tax Proceeds With Cut-Back” shall mean the fair market value of all Contingent Payments to Executive reduced to
the minimum extent necessary so that the aggregate present value of such payments equals 299% of the Executive’s Base Amount, and reduced further by the aggregate amount of all Taxes which would be imposed on Executive with respect to such
Contingent Payments. The amount of Taxes deemed imposed with respect to such Contingent Payments shall be determined as if all events that could give rise to a Tax with respect to such Contingent Payments had occurred. 
 “After-Tax Proceeds With Gross-Up” shall mean the fair market value of all Contingent Payments to the Executive plus
the Gross-Up Amount, reduced by the aggregate amount of all Taxes which would be imposed on Executive with respect to such Contingent Payments. The amount of Taxes deemed imposed with respect to such Contingent Payments shall be determined as if all
events that could give rise to a Tax with respect to such Contingent Payments had occurred. 
 “Base
Amount” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or any successor provisions of law. 
 “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor provision of law. 
 “Contingent Payments” shall mean all payments in the nature of compensation payable to (or for the benefit of)
Executive which would otherwise be treated as “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code) determined as if the thresholds set forth in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code were satisfied
with respect to Executive. 
 “Excise Tax” shall mean any Tax imposed upon Executive pursuant to
Section 4999 of the Code. 
  

 20 

 “Final Determination” shall mean any final determination of liability
that, under applicable law, is not subject to further appeal, review or modification through proceedings or otherwise, including but not limited to the expiration of a statute of limitations or a period for the filing of claims for refunds, amended
returns or appeals from adverse determinations. 
 “Gross-Up Amount” shall mean the lesser of
(i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the quotient equal to (A) the aggregate excise taxes which would be imposed on Executive under Section 4999 of the Code in connection with a Change in Control of the Company, determined without regard to
the provisions of this Section 16, divided by (B) one minus the highest marginal income and excise Tax rate applicable to Executive for the calendar year in which occurred the Change in Control, determined as if all Contingent Payments
were paid without regard to the provisions of this Section 16. 
 “Taxes” shall mean all federal,
state and local income, employment and excise taxes (including Excise Taxes) imposed by any governmental authority. 
 Section 17.        Effect of Agreement on Other Benefits.  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the existence of this Agreement shall not be interpreted to
preclude, prohibit or restrict Executive’s participation in any other employee benefit or other plans or programs in which he currently participates. 
 Section 18.        Assignability: Binding Nature.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors, heirs (in the case of Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred in
connection with a Change of Control of the Company, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and such assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of
the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. The Company further agrees that, in the event of a Change of Control, it shall take whatever action it legally can in order to cause such assignee or transferee
to expressly assume the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company hereunder. No rights or obligations of Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Executive other than his rights to compensation and benefits, which
may be transferred only by will or operation of law, except as provided in Section 24 below. 
 Section 19.        Representation.    The Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement and that the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not violate any agreement between it and any other person, firm or organization. Executive hereby represents to the Company that he is physically and mentally capable of performing his duties
hereunder and he has no knowledge of any present or past physical or mental conditions which would cause him not to be able to perform his duties hereunder. 
 Section 20.        Entire Agreement.   This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties concerning
the subject matter hereof and, as of the Effective Date, supersedes the Prior Agreement and any other agreements, understandings, discussions, 

  

 21 

 
negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect thereto, including, without limitation any prior change in control
agreement between the Parties. 
 Section 21.        Amendment or
Waiver.  No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. Except as set forth herein, no delay or omission to exercise any
right, power or remedy accruing to any Party shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of or an acquiescence to any breach hereof. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or
provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Executive
or an authorized officer of the Company, as the case may be. 
 Section 22.        Severability.  In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in
part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Specifically, but without limitation, the parties agree that if any court of competent
jurisdiction finds that any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses, sections, subdivisions, or subparagraphs contained in Sections 10, 11, or 12 is overly broad or unenforceable, then the Agreement should be reduced or amended to be
enforceable to the maximum extent allowable under applicable law. 
 Section 23.        Survivorship.      The respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall survive any termination of Executive’s
employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations. 
 Section 24.        Beneficiaries/References. 
 Executive shall
be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice
thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative.

 Section 25.        Governing Law/Jurisdiction. 
 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Louisiana without reference to
principles of conflict of laws. Subject to Section 14, the Company and Executive hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any or all of the following courts for purposes of resolving any dispute under this Agreement: (i) the United States
