 EXECUTION VERSION 
 SUBORDINATED GUARANTY OF
COLLECTION 
 This SUBORDINATED GUARANTY OF COLLECTION (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time
to time, this “Guaranty”), dated as of May 1, 2013, is made by CENTERPOINT ENERGY RESOURCES CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of Citibank, N.A., as Agent (as defined in the Term Loan
Agreement described below), for the ratable benefit of itself and the Lenders described below (the Agent and the Lenders, collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”). 

RECITALS: 
 A.
Reference is made to that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”), by and among CenterPoint Energy Field
Services LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and the Agent. 

B. As a condition to the extension of credit and certain other financial accommodations to the Borrower under the Term Loan Agreement,
the Guaranteed Parties have required, among other things, that the Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty. 
 C. The
Guarantor will benefit, directly or indirectly, from such extension of credit and certain other financial accommodations to the Borrower under the Term Loan Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Term Loan Agreement. In addition: 
 “Designated Senior Debt” means (i) any Senior Debt of the
Guarantor that, at the date of determination, has an aggregate principal amount outstanding of, or under which, at the date of determination, the holders thereof are committed to lend up to, at least $100,000,000 and (ii) any other Senior Debt
of the Guarantor designated by the Guarantor at the time of issuance thereof as Designated Senior Debt for purposes of this Guaranty. 
 “Senior Debt” means (a) all Indebtedness of the Guarantor, whether currently outstanding or hereafter created, incurred or assumed, unless, by the terms of the instrument creating or
evidencing such Indebtedness or pursuant to which such Indebtedness is outstanding, it is expressly provided that such Indebtedness is not superior in right of payment to the Guarantor’s guarantee hereunder or to other Indebtedness which is
pari passu with or subordinated to the Guarantor’s guarantee hereunder and (b) any modifications, refundings, deferrals, renewals or extensions of any such debt or any securities, notes or other evidences of debt issued in exchange
for such debt, provided that in no event shall “Senior Debt” include the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations. 

 SECTION 2. Guaranty of Collection. The Guarantor hereby guarantees to the Agent, for
the ratable benefit of each Guaranteed Party, the full and prompt collection of the Obligations of the Borrower (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty is a guaranty of collection only, and not a guaranty of payment.

 SECTION 3. Exhaustion of Other Remedies Required. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are merely those of a
secondary obligor, and not as primary obligor, and are dependent, in all respects, upon the Agent, on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties, first pursuing and exhausting all rights and remedies, both legal and equitable, against the Borrower to collect
payment upon the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 4. Guaranteed Obligations Absolute. Except as otherwise provided in
this Guaranty, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are in all respects absolute and unconditional and will not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any
amendment to, restatement of, supplement to or other modification of the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, in each case in accordance with the terms thereof, or
any furnishing, acceptance or release of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or the addition, substitution or release of any other guarantor or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations, (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment,
composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Borrower or its property, (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any other guarantor or of the Borrower into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of
any or all of the assets of any other guarantor or of the Borrower to any Person or (e) any other event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense (other than repayment in full in cash of all the
Guaranteed Obligations) of a guarantor (whether or not similar to the foregoing). 

  
 2 

 SECTION 5. Subordination. 

(a) Subordination of Guarantee to Senior Debt. The Guarantor and each Guaranteed Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this
Guaranty, and on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns) hereby agree that any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 5, to the prior payment in full
of all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date of this Guaranty or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and that these subordination provisions are for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. This Section 5 shall
constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Debt, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt, and such holders are made obligees
hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions. 
 (b) No Payment on Guaranteed Obligations in Certain
Circumstances. 
 (i) No payment shall be made by or on behalf of the Guarantor on account of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations in the event of default in payment of any principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Senior Debt when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by acceleration of
maturity or otherwise (a “Payment Default”), unless and until such Payment Default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist or such Senior Debt has been discharged or paid in full. 

(ii) No payment shall be made by or on behalf of the Guarantor on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations in the
event of any event of default (other than a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt permitting the holders of such Designated Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent or other representative on behalf of the holders thereof) to declare
such Designated Senior Debt due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, upon written notice thereof to the Guarantor and the Agent by any holders of Designated Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent or other
representative on behalf of the holders thereof) (a “Payment Blocking Notice”), unless and until such event of default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged or
paid in full, provided, that such payments may not be prevented pursuant to this Section 5(b)(ii) for more than 179 days after an applicable Payment Blocking Notice has been received by the Agent unless the Designated Senior Debt in
respect of which such event of default exists has been declared due and payable in its entirety, in which case no such payment may be made until such acceleration has been rescinded or annulled or such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged or
paid in full. No event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of any Payment Blocking Notice may be made the basis for the giving of a second Payment Blocking Notice, and only one such Payment Blocking Notice may be given in any
360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to any number of issues of Designated Senior Debt during such period. 
 (iii) In furtherance of the provisions of Section 5(a), in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b), any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor
shall be received by any Guaranteed Party at a time when such 

  
 3 

 
payment or distribution was prohibited by the provisions of this Section 5(b), then, unless such payment or distribution is no longer prohibited by this Section 5(b), such payment or
distribution shall be received and held in trust by such Guaranteed Party for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt, and shall be paid or delivered by such Guaranteed Party to the holders of Senior Debt remaining unpaid or unprovided for or
their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably, according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of
such Senior Debt held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt in full after giving effect to all concurrent payments and distributions to or for the holders of such Senior Debt. 

(c) Guarantee Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior Debt on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization. Upon any
distribution of assets of the Guarantor or upon any dissolution, winding up, total or partial liquidation or reorganization of Guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings or upon any
assignment for the benefit of creditors: 
 (i) the holders of all Senior Debt shall first be entitled to receive
payment in full of such Senior Debt before any Guaranteed Party is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which any Guaranteed Party would be entitled, except for the provisions of
this Section 5, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such a payment or distribution directly to the holders of such Senior Debt or their representative, ratably according to the respective amounts of Senior
Debt held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid after giving effect to all concurrent payments and distributions to the holders of such Senior Debt; 

(iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor of any kind
or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any Guaranteed Party on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations before all Senior Debt is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust
by such Guaranteed Party for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Debt, or their respective representatives, ratably according to the respective amounts of such Senior Debt held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment as
provided herein of all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid after giving effect to all concurrent payments and distributions and all provisions therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Debt, but only to the extent that as to any holder of such
Senior Debt, as promptly as practical following notice from the Agent to the holders of such Senior Debt that such prohibited payment has been received by a Guaranteed Party, such holder (or a representative therefor) notifies the Agent of the
amounts then due and owing on such Senior Debt, if any, held by such holder and only the amounts specified in such notices to the Agent shall be paid to the holders of such Senior Debt 

  
 4 

 (d) Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt. 

(i) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt as provided herein, the Guaranteed Parties shall be subrogated (to
the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Guarantor
applicable to the Senior Debt until termination of this Guaranty in accordance with Section 8. For the purpose of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Debt by the Guarantor or by or on behalf of the
Guaranteed Parties by virtue of this Section 5, which otherwise would have been made to such Guaranteed Parties shall, as between the Guarantor and such Guaranteed Parties, be deemed to be payment by the Guarantor on account of such Senior
Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 5 are, and are intended, solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Guaranteed Parties, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Debt, on the other hand.

 (ii) If any payment or distribution to which any Guaranteed Party would otherwise have been entitled but for
the provisions of this Section 5 shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, to the payment of amounts payable under Senior Debt, then such Guaranteed Party shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such
Senior Debt any payments or distributions received by such holders of Senior Debt in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all amounts payable under or in respect of such Senior Debt in full. 

SECTION 6. Waiver of Notices. The Guarantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and further waives
presentment, protest, notice, dishonor or default, demand for payment and any other notices to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled. 
 SECTION 7. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due
to any Guaranteed Party on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by such Guaranteed Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other
guarantors, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Borrower or any other guarantors or any part of its or their property, or otherwise, all as though such
payments had not been made. 
 SECTION 8. Termination. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of
collection of all Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty and all obligations of the Guarantor to the Guaranteed Parties hereunder shall automatically terminate upon (a) payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than indemnities and
other contingent obligations not then due and payable and as to which no claim has been made as of the time of determination) and (b) termination of the Term Loan Agreement. 

SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) the Guarantor has the corporate
power and authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty and (b) this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation, of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms. 

  
 5 

 SECTION 10. Agent. No Guaranteed Party (other than the Agent) shall have the right
to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law in connection with this Guaranty for the enforcement of any remedy under or upon this Guaranty, it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Guaranteed Parties (other
than the Agent) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any right hereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained by the Agent in the manner herein provided and for the ratable benefit
of the Guaranteed Parties.

rights of any Guaranteed Party in any case commenced by or against the Guarantor under the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) or any comparable provision of applicable state law. 

SECTION 12. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be waived, amended, released or otherwise changed except by a writing signed by the
Guarantor and the Agent. 
 SECTION 13. No Waiver; Severability. No failure by the Agent to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. 
 SECTION 14. Effectiveness; Assignees, etc. This Guaranty and every part thereof shall be effective upon delivery to the Agent, without further act, condition or acceptance by the Guaranteed
Parties, shall be binding upon the Guarantor and upon the legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the Guarantor, and shall inure to the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors, their successors, legal representatives and permitted
assigns.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 SEPARATION AGREEMENT 
 THIS SEPARATION
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 14th day of March, 2013, by and between CATHERINE H. LAFIANDRA (“Executive”) and PRGX GLOBAL, INC., a Georgia corporation (“Company”). Executive and Company are sometimes
hereinafter referred to together as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.” 
 BACKGROUND:

 A. Executive was employed as the Senior Vice President - Human Resources of Company pursuant to an employment
agreement between Executive and Company dated as of January 31, 2010 (“Employment Agreement”). 
 B.
Executive and Company now mutually desire to end Executive’s employment and terminate the Employment Agreement effective as of the date hereof. Executive will provide a written resignation simultaneously with this executed Separation
Agreement. 
 C. Company and Executive wish to avoid any disputes which could arise under the Employment Agreement and
have therefore compromised any claims or rights they have or may have under the Employment Agreement by agreeing to the terms of this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Termination of Employment. The Parties
agree that (a) the Employment Agreement is hereby terminated as of the date hereof, (b) Executive waives the right to 30 days’ written notice of termination of Executive’s employment as set forth in Section 7(d) of her
Employment Agreement, and (c) Executive’s employment with Company shall terminate effective March 31, 2013 (“Termination Date”), and all benefits, privileges and authorities related to Executive’s employment with
Company shall hereby cease, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. 
 2. No Admission. The
Parties agree that their entry into this Agreement is not and shall not be construed to be an admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of either Party. 
 3. Future Cooperation. Executive agrees that, notwithstanding the termination of Executive’s employment on the Termination Date, Executive upon reasonable notice will make herself
available to Company or its designated representatives for the purposes of: (a) providing information regarding the projects and files on which Executive worked for the purpose of transitioning such projects; and (b) providing information
regarding any other matter, file, project and/or client with whom Executive was involved while employed by Company. 

 4. Consideration. 

(a) In consideration for Executive’s agreement to terminate the Employment Agreement, to fully release Company from any and all
Claims as described below, and to perform the other duties and obligations of Executive contained herein, Company will, subject to ordinary and lawful deductions and Sections 4(b) and (c) below: 

(i) Pay severance to Executive in the form of salary continuation for the eighteen (18) months immediately following
the Termination Date (“Severance Period”). Such payments shall be made in accordance with Company’s standard pay practices in an amount equal to Seven Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty Four and 61/100 dollars ($7,924.61) per bi-weekly
pay period following Executive’s Termination Date, except that no payments shall be made during the period that begins immediately after the Termination Date and ends on the earlier of (i) Executive’s death or (ii) six months
after the Termination Date. The payments that would otherwise have been made in such period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the first bi-weekly pay period after the end of such period. 

(ii) Continue after the Termination Date any health care (medical, dental and vision) plan coverage, other than under a
flexible spending account, provided to Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents at the Termination Date for the Severance Period, on a monthly or more frequent basis, on the same basis and at the same cost to Executive as available to
similarly-situated active employees during such Severance Period, provided that such continued coverage shall terminate in the event Executive becomes eligible for any such coverage under another employer’s plans. 

(iii) Pay an amount equal to Executive’s actual earned full-year bonus for 2013, pro-rated based on the number of
days Executive was employed for such year on and before the Termination Date, payable at the time Executive’s annual bonus for such year otherwise would have been paid had Executive continued employment. Payment of a pro rated portion of
Executive’s target bonus hereunder will be dependent upon the Company’s achievement of certain revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance goals established by the Compensation Committee for 2013 in the same manner as are applicable to
similarly-situated executives of the Company who participate in the annual bonus plan for 2013. Any bonus due to Executive will be communicated to Executive by General Counsel with supporting calculations for such pro-rata bonus. 

(iv) Vest in full, effective as of the date upon which the revocation period for the Release described in
Section 4(b) below expires without Executive having elected to revoke the Release, Executive’s outstanding unvested options, restricted stock and management incentive plan units set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto that would have
vested based solely on the continued employment of Executive. Additionally, all of Executive’s outstanding vested stock options set forth on Exhibit A shall remain outstanding until the earlier of (i) one year after the Termination
Date or (ii) the original expiration date of the options (disregarding any earlier expiration date provided for in any other agreement, including without limitation any related grant agreement, based solely on the termination of
Executive’s employment). 

  
 - 2 -

 (v) Payment of one year of outplacement services from Executrak or an
outplacement service provider of Executive’s choice, limited to $20,000 in total. Executive will notify the General Counsel of the selection of an outplacement firm and have such outplacement service provider send invoices to the General
Counsel’s attention for payment. This outplacement services benefit will be forfeited if Executive does not begin using such services within 120 days after the Termination Date. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, no payments shall be made or benefits delivered under this Agreement
(other than payments required to be made by Company pursuant to Section 5 below) unless, within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date: (i) Executive has signed and delivered to Company a Release in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B (the “Release”); and (ii) the applicable revocation period under the Release has expired without Executive having elected to revoke the Release. Executive agrees and acknowledges that Executive would not be entitled
to the consideration described herein absent execution of the Release and expiration of the applicable revocation period without Executive having revoked the Release. Any payments to be made, or benefits to be delivered, under this Agreement (other
than the payments required to be made by Company pursuant to Section 5 below and the vesting of outstanding unvested options, restricted stock and management incentive plan units as set forth in Section 4(a)(iv) above) within the thirty
(30) days after the Termination Date shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum, or as to benefits continued at Executive’s expense subject to reimbursement, reimbursement shall be made, on the first bi-weekly pay period occurring more
than thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, provided Executive delivers the signed Release to Company and the revocation period thereunder expires without Executive having elected to revoke the Release. 

(c) As a further condition to receipt of the payments and benefits in Section 4(a) above, Executive also waives any and all rights
to (i) any other amounts payable to her upon the termination of her employment relationship with Company, other than those specifically set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation any severance, notice rights, payments, benefits
and other amounts to which Executive may be entitled under the laws of any jurisdiction and/or her Employment Agreement, and (ii) the stock options set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto (which shall be forfeited in their entirety
as of the Termination Date), and Executive agrees not to pursue or claim any of the payments, benefits or rights set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) herein. 
 5. Other Benefits. 
 Nothing in this Agreement or the Release shall:

 (a) alter or reduce any vested, accrued benefits (if any) Executive may be entitled to receive under any
401(k) plan established by Company; 
 (b) affect Executive’s right (if any) to elect and (subject to
Section 4(a)(ii) above) pay for continuation of Executive’s health insurance coverage under Company’s health plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (C.O.B.R.A.), as amended; 

  
 - 3 -

 (c) affect Executive’s right (if any) to receive (i) any base
salary that has accrued through the Termination Date and is unpaid, (ii) any bonus for 2012 that has been earned but is unpaid, (iii) any reimbursable expenses that Executive has incurred before the Termination Date but are unpaid (subject
to the Company’s expense reimbursement policy) and (iv) any unused paid time off days to which Executive will be entitled to payment, all of which shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable (and in any event within thirty
(30) days) after the Termination Date (except for the bonus earned for 2012 which will be paid at the same time it otherwise would be paid had Executive continued employment); or 

(d) affect Executive’s right to continue to receive her base salary and benefits through the Termination Date, as in
effect as of the date hereof, which base salary and benefits will continue through the Termination Date, except with respect to any changes in benefits that are applicable generally to the other executives of Company.

agrees that any breach of the provisions of this Section 7 by her will cause irreparable damage to Company or Company’s subsidiaries, the exact amount of which will be difficult to determine, and that the remedies at law for any such
breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees that, in addition to any other remedy that may be available at law, in equity, or hereunder, Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or
other security, to enforce or prevent any violation of any of the provisions of this Section 7 by Executive. Additionally, notwithstanding the obligations within Section 11 of this Agreement regarding the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and the State and Superior Courts of Cobb County, Georgia pertaining to actions arising out of this Agreement, and in addition to the Company’s right to seek injunctive relief in
any state or federal court located in Cobb County, Georgia, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company may seek specific performance and injunctive relief in any jurisdiction, court or forum applicable to Executive’s then current
residency in order to prevent or to restrain any breach by the Executive, or any and all of the Executive’s partners, co-venturers, employers, employees, or agents, acting directly or indirectly on behalf of or with the Executive, of any of the
provisions of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7. 
 8. Return of all Property and Information of
Company. Executive agrees to return all property of the Company and its subsidiaries within seven (7) days following the execution of this Agreement. Such property includes, but is not limited to, the original and any copy (regardless
of the manner in which it is recorded) of all information provided by Company or any subsidiary thereof to Executive or which Executive has developed or collected in the scope of Executive’s employment related to Company and its subsidiaries or
affiliates as well as all Company or subsidiary-issued equipment, supplies, accessories, vehicles, keys, instruments, tools, devices, computers, cell phones, pagers, materials, documents, plans, records, notebooks, drawings, or papers. Upon request
by Company, Executive shall certify in writing that Executive has complied with this provision, and has deleted all information of the Company and its subsidiaries from any computers or other electronic storage devices owned by Executive. Executive
may only retain information relating to Executive’s benefit plans and compensation to the extent needed to prepare Executive’s tax returns.

 9. No Harassing or Disparaging Conduct. 

(a) Executive further agrees and promises that Executive will not engage in, or induce other persons or entities to engage in, any
harassing or disparaging conduct or negative or derogatory statements directed at or about Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, the activities of Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or the Releasees at any time in the future.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9(a) may not be used to penalize Executive for providing truthful testimony under oath in a judicial or administrative proceeding or complying with an order of a court or government agency of
competent jurisdiction. 
 (b) The Company agrees to instruct the executive officers of the Company not to engage in, or induce
other persons or entities to engage in, any harassing or disparaging conduct or negative or derogatory statements directed at or about Executive at any time in the future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be liable for any
unauthorized statements made by any employee other than the executive officers of the Company, and nothing in this Section 9(b) may be used to penalize the Company for any officer or employee providing truthful testimony under oath in a
judicial or administrative proceeding or complying with an order of a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction.

10. References. Following the Termination Date, Executive agrees to direct any third party seeking an employment reference
to Romil Bahl, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; provided, however, that if Executive choses to list another PRGX colleague as a reference that Company will not be liable for any such reference provided by such colleague. The Company
agrees that, in response to reference requests directed to Romil Bahl, Mr. Bahl may provide truthful positive information about Executive’s job performance as part of that reference in addition to providing information regarding dates of
employment and job title, and will confirm starting and ending salary. The Company will not be responsible with respect to any references which are directed by Executive to anyone other than Romil Bahl. 

11. Construction of Agreement and Venue for Disputes. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly drafted by the
Parties and shall not be construed against either Party. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Georgia, and the Parties agree that any actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Executive’s employment with
Company must be brought exclusively in either the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, or the State or Superior Courts of Cobb County, Georgia. Notwithstanding the pendency of any proceeding, either Party shall be
entitled to injunctive relief in a state or federal court located in Cobb County, Georgia upon a showing of irreparable injury. The Parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue solely within these forums and solely in Cobb County, Georgia and
waive all otherwise possible objections thereto. The prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and attorneys fees from the non-prevailing Party in any such proceeding no later than 90 days following the settlement or final resolution
of any such proceeding. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against Company or Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates, including any dispute relating to the termination of Executive’s employment or under this
Agreement, shall not constitute a defense to enforcement of said covenants by injunction.

 12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held void,
voidable, invalid or inoperative, no other provision of this Agreement shall be affected as a result thereof, and accordingly, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as though such void, voidable, invalid or
inoperative provision had not been contained herein. 
 13. No Reliance Upon Other Statements. This Agreement is
entered into without reliance upon any statement or representation of any Party hereto or any Party hereby released other than the statements and representations contained in writing in this Agreement (including all Exhibits hereto). 

14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all Exhibits hereto (which are incorporated herein by this reference),
contains the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof between the Parties hereto. No waiver, termination or discharge of this Agreement, or any of the terms or provisions hereof, shall be binding upon either Party
hereto unless confirmed in writing. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by a writing executed by both Parties hereto. No waiver by either Party hereto of any term or provision of this Agreement or of any default hereunder shall
affect such Party’s rights thereafter to enforce such term or provision or to exercise any right or remedy in the event of any other default, whether or not similar. 
 15. Further Assurance. Upon the reasonable request of the other Party, each Party hereto agrees to take any and all actions, including, without limitation, the execution of certificates,
documents or instruments, necessary or appropriate to give effect to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

16. No Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the
other Party, and any attempted assignment not in accordance herewith shall be null and void and of no force or effect. 
 17.
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be finding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns. 

18. Indemnification. Company understands and agrees that any indemnification obligations under its governing documents or
the indemnification agreement between Company and Executive with respect to Executive’s service as an officer of Company remain in effect and survive the termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement as set forth in such
governing documents or indemnification agreement. 
 19. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation. 

(a) It is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to
be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid and provided in a manner, and at such time and form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the unfavorable tax
consequences provided therein for non-compliance. 
 (b) Neither Company nor Executive shall take any action to accelerate or
delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in any manner which would not be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder). 

  
 - 8 -

 (c) Because Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, any payments to be made or benefits to be delivered in connection with Executive’s “Separation from Service” (as determined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) that constitute
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall not be made until the earlier of (i) Executive’s death or (ii) six months after Executive’s Separation from Service (the “409A Deferral Period”) as
required by Section 409A of the Code. Payments otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during the 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the
payment shall be made as otherwise scheduled. Any such benefits subject to the rule may be provided under the 409A Deferral Period at Executive’s expense, with Executive having a right to reimbursement from Company once the 409A Deferral Period
ends, and the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled. 
 (d) For purposes of this Agreement, all
rights to payments and benefits hereunder shall be treated as rights to receive a series of separate payments and benefits to the fullest extent allowed by Section 409A of the Code. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither Company nor its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be liable to
Executive if any payment or benefit which is to be provided pursuant to this Agreement and which is considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code otherwise fails to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code.
