 17. Section Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and shall not define
or limit the provisions of this Agreement. 
 18. Definitions. 

(a) “Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i) gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with his duties or in the course of his employment with the
Company; 
 (ii) an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with his duties or in the course of his
employment with the Company; 
 (iii) intentional wrongful damage to property of the Company; 

(iv) intentional wrongful disclosure of secret processes or confidential information of the Company;

(vi) a material breach by Employee of any agreement with the Company. 

For purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Employee shall be deemed “intentional” if it was due primarily
to an error in judgment or negligence, but shall be deemed “intentional” only if done, or omitted to be done, by the Employee not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the
Company. 
 (b) “CIC Agreement” means the Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. Change in Control Agreement, dated
the date hereof, by and between Employee and Company. 
 (c) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended from time to time. 
 (d) “Date of Qualifying Termination” means the effective date on
which Employee’s employment by the Company terminates due to a Qualifying Termination as specified in a prior written notice by the Company or Employee, as the case may be, to the other, delivered pursuant to Section 3. 

(e) “Qualifying Termination” means a termination of Employee’s Employment (1) by the Company for any
reason other than Cause or (2) by the Employee due to the Company reducing his annual base salary to an amount that is less than $450,000 per year; provided, however, that a termination by the Employee due to a reduction in his annual
base salary shall not be a Qualifying Termination unless (A) Employee gives the Board of Directors of the Company written notice of his objection to such reduction within thirty (30) days after the later of the approval or occurrence of
the reduction, (B) such reduction is not corrected by the Company within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice and (C) Employee resigns his employment 

  
 -5-

 
with the Company and its subsidiaries not more than thirty (30) days following the expiration of the 30-day period described in the foregoing clause (B). For the avoidance of doubt, the
following do not constitute a Qualifying Termination under this Agreement: a termination of Employee’s employment (1) by the Company for Cause, (2) as a result of Employee’s death or (3) by the Company due to Employee’s
inability to discharge his duties to the Company for a period of ninety (90) or more consecutive days by reason of physical or mental illness, injury, or incapacity, which illness, injury or incapacity is reasonably expected to (or does in
fact) continue for six (6) months or more, or (4) by Employee for any reason other than due to the Company reducing his annual base salary to an amount that is less than $450,000.

 Exhibit 10.3 
 PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT between Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and William Andrew Hendricks, Jr. (the “Employee”) is effective as of April 2, 2012 (the “Effective Date”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 22. 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Company considers it to be in the best interests of its stockholders to encourage the continued
employment of certain key employees of the Company and its Wholly Owned Entities notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company (as that phrase is defined in Section 2); 

WHEREAS, the Employee is a key employee of the Company and/or one or more of its Wholly Owned Entities; 

WHEREAS, the Company believes that the possibility of the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company may
result in the termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company or in the distraction of the Employee from the performance of his duties to the Company, in either case to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; 

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the Employee could suffer adverse financial and professional consequences if a
Change in Control of the Company were to occur; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to enter into this
Agreement to protect the Employee if a Change in Control of the Company occurs, thereby encouraging the Employee to remain in the employ of the Company and not to be distracted from the performance of his duties to the Company by the possibility of
a Change in Control of the Company; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties
agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Other Employment Arrangements. 

(a) This Agreement does not affect the Employee’s existing or future employment arrangements with the Company unless
a Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred before the expiration of the term of this Agreement. The Employee’s employment with the Company shall continue to be governed by the Employee’s existing or future employment agreements
with the Company, if any, or, in the absence of any employment agreement, shall continue to be at the will of the Board of Directors or, if the Employee is not an officer of the Company at the time of the termination of the Employee’s
employment with the Company, the will of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, except that if (i) a Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred before the expiration of the term of this Agreement, and (ii) the
Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated (whether by the Employee or 

  
 -1-

 
the Company or automatically as provided in Section 3) after the occurrence of that Change in Control of the Company, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive certain benefits as
provided in this Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if
following the commencement of any discussion with a third person that ultimately results in a written agreement or agreements to which the Company is a party and which, if the transactions contemplated by such agreement or agreements were
consummated, would result in a Change in Control of the Company, the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for any reason other than as a result of the occurrence of an event described in any of clauses
(i) through (v) of Section 4, then for all purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred on the date immediately prior to the date of such termination, removal, or reduction regardless
of whether any Change in Control of the Company actually occurs. 
 (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
or limit the Employee’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice of or provided by the Company or any of its Affiliates and for which the Employee may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise
affect such rights as the Employee may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Employee is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, program, policy or
practice of or provided by, or any contract or agreement with, the Company or any of its Affiliates at or subsequent to the date of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company shall be payable or otherwise provided in accordance
with such plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 

Section 2. Change in Control of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control of the Company”
shall mean the occurrence of any of the following after the Effective Date: 
 (a) The acquisition by any
individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Covered Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 35% or more of
either (i) the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”), or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a) of this Section 2, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a
Change in Control of the Company: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any
entity controlled by the Company, or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) of this Section 2; or 

  
 -2-

 (b) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board of
Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election,
or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but
excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of
proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Covered Person other than the Board; or 
 (c) Consummation of
(xx) a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or (yy) a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case,
unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities
immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, direct or indirectly, more than 65% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Covered Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or
indirectly, 35% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation, except to
the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at
the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board of Directors, providing for such Business Combination. 
 Section 3. Term of this Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and, unless automatically extended pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 3, shall
expire on the first to occur of: 
 (i) the Employee’s death, the Employee’s Disability or the
Employee’s Retirement, which events shall also be deemed automatically to terminate the Employee’s employment by the Company; 

  
 -3-

 (ii) the termination by the Employee or the Company of the Employee’s
employment by the Company; or 
 (iii) the end of the last day (the “Expiration Date”) of: 

(x) the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on January 29, 2013 (or any period for which the term of
this Agreement shall have been automatically extended pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 3) if no Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred during that period (or any period for which the term of this Agreement shall
have been automatically extended pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 3); or 
 (y) if one or
more Changes in Control of the Company shall have occurred during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on January 29, 2013 (or any period for which the term of this Agreement shall have been automatically extended pursuant to
the second sentence of this Section 3), the two-year period beginning on the date on which the last Change in Control of the Company occurred. 
 If (i) the term of this Agreement shall not have expired as a result of the occurrence of one of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, and
(ii) the Company shall not have given notice to the Employee at least ninety (90) days before the Expiration Date that the term of this Agreement will expire on the Expiration Date, then the term of this Agreement shall be automatically
extended for successive one-year periods (the first such period to begin on the day immediately following the Expiration Date) unless the Company shall have given notice to the Employee at least ninety (90) days before the end of any one-year
period for which the term of this Agreement shall have been automatically extended that such term will expire at the end of that one-year period. The expiration of the term of this Agreement shall not terminate this Agreement itself or affect the
right of the Employee or the Employee’s legal representatives to enforce the payment of any amount or other benefit to which the Employee was entitled before the expiration of the term of this Agreement or to which the Employee became entitled
as a result of the event (including the termination, whether by the Employee or the Company or automatically as provided in this Section 3, of the Employee’s employment by the Company) that caused the term of this Agreement to expire.

 Section 4. Event of Termination for Cause. An “Event of Termination for Cause” shall have occurred if,
after a Change in Control of the Company, the Employee shall have committed: 
 (i) gross negligence or willful
misconduct in connection with his duties or in the course of his employment with the Company; 
 (ii) an act of
fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with his duties or in the course of his employment with the Company; 

(iii) intentional wrongful damage to property of the Company; 

  
 -4-

 (iv) intentional wrongful disclosure of secret processes or confidential
information of the Company; or 
 (v) an act leading to a conviction of a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral
turpitude. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Employee shall be deemed “intentional” if
it was due primarily to an error in judgment or negligence, but shall be deemed “intentional” only if done, or omitted to be done, by the Employee not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best
interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated as a result of an “Event of Termination for Cause” hereunder unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Employee
a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the Board of Directors then in office at a meeting of the Board of Directors called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Employee and
an opportunity for the Employee, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board of Directors), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, the Employee had committed an act set forth above in this Section 4 and
specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Employee or his legal representatives to contest the validity or propriety of any such determination. 

Section 5. An Event of Termination for Good Reason. An “Event of Termination for Good Reason” shall have occurred
if, after a Change in Control of the Company, the Company shall: 
 (i) assign to the Employee any duties
inconsistent with the Employee’s position (including offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties, status or responsibilities with the Company in effect immediately before the occurrence of the first Change in Control of the
Company or otherwise make any change in any such position, authority, duties or responsibilities; 
 (ii) remove
the Employee from, or fail to re-elect or appoint the Employee to, any duties or position with the Company or any of its Affiliates that were assigned or held by the Employee immediately before the occurrence of the first Change in Control of the
Company, except that a nominal change in the Employee’s title that is merely descriptive and does not affect rank or status shall not constitute such an event; 

(iii) take any other action that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities
or otherwise take any action that materially interferes therewith; 
 (iv) reduce the Employee’s annual base
salary as in effect immediately before the occurrence of the first Change in Control of the Company or as the Employee’s annual base salary may be increased from time to time after that occurrence (the “Base Salary”); 

  
 -5-

 (v) reduce the Employee’s annual bonus to an amount less than
(x) $800,000, if the first Change in Control of the Company occurred prior to the Employee earning an annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, (y) the amount of the annual bonus earned by the Employee with
respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, if the first Change in Control of the Company occurred after the Employee earned an annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, but prior to the Employee earning
an annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 or (z) the average of the two annual bonuses earned by the Employee with respect to the two fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the fiscal year of the
Company in which the first Change in Control of the Company occurred (the applicable amount is referred to herein as the “Benchmark Bonus”); 
 (vi) relocate the Employee’s principal place of employment to a location outside of a 50-mile radius from the Employee’s principal place of employment immediately prior to the first Change in
Control of the Company; 
 (vii) fail to (x) continue in effect any bonus, incentive, profit sharing,
performance, savings, retirement or pension policy, plan, program or arrangement (such policies, plans, programs and arrangements collectively being referred to herein as “Basic Benefit Plans”), including, but not limited to, any deferred
compensation, supplemental executive retirement or other retirement income, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation, or similar policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Company, in which the Employee was a participant immediately before
the occurrence of the first Change in Control of the Company, or any substitute plan adopted by the Board of Directors and in which the Employee was a participant immediately before the occurrence of the last Change in Control of the Company, unless
an equitable and reasonably comparable arrangement (embodied in a substitute or alternative benefit or plan) shall have been made with respect to such Basic Benefit Plan promptly following the occurrence of the last Change in Control of the Company,
or (y) continue the Employee’s participation in any Basic Benefit Plan (or any substitute or alternative plan) on substantially the same basis, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided to the Employee (which are in any event always
subject to the terms of any applicable Basic Benefit Plan) and the level of the Employee’s participation relative to other participants, as existed immediately before the occurrence of the first Change in Control of the Company; 

(viii) fail to continue to provide the Employee with benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by the Employee under
any of the Company’s other employee benefit plans, policies, programs and arrangements (the “Other Benefit Plans”), including, but not limited to, life insurance, medical, dental, health, hospital, accident or disability plans, in
which the Employee was a participant immediately before the occurrence of the first Change in Control of the Company; 

  
 -6-

 (ix) fail to provide the Employee with the number of paid vacation days to
which the Employee was entitled in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy in effect immediately before the occurrence of the first Change in Control of the Company; 

(x) fail to continue to provide the Employee with office space, related facilities and support personnel (including, but
not limited to, administrative and secretarial assistance) (y) that are both commensurate with the Employee’s responsibilities to and position with the Company immediately before the occurrence of the first Change in Control of the Company
and not materially dissimilar to the office space, related facilities and support personnel provided to other employees of the Company having comparable responsibility to the Employee, or (z) that are physically located at the Company’s
principal executive offices; or 
 (xi) purport to terminate the Employee’s employment by the Company unless
notice of that termination shall have been given to the Employee pursuant to, and that notice shall meet the requirements of, Section 6. 
 Section 6. Notice of Termination. If a Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred before the expiration of the term of this Agreement, any subsequent termination by the Employee or
the Company of the Employee’s employment by the Company, or any determination of the Employee’s Disability, shall be communicated by notice to the other party that shall indicate the specific paragraph of Section 7 pursuant to which
the Employee is to receive benefits as a result of the termination. If the notice states that the Employee’s employment by the Company has been automatically terminated as a result of the Employee’s Disability, the notice shall
(i) specifically describe the basis for the determination of the Employee’s Disability, and (ii) state the date of the determination of the Employee’s Disability, which date shall be not more than ten (10) days before the
date such notice is given. If the notice is from the Company and states that the Employee’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Company as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Termination for Cause, the notice shall specifically
describe the action or inaction of the Employee that the Company believes constitutes an Event of Termination for Cause and shall be accompanied by a copy of the resolution satisfying Section 4. If the notice is from the Employee and states
that the Employee’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Employee as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Termination for Good Reason, the notice shall specifically describe the action or inaction of the Company that the Employee
believes constitutes an Event of Termination for Good Reason. Each notice given pursuant to this Section 6 (other than a notice stating that the Employee’s employment by the Company has been automatically terminated as a result of the
Employee’s Disability) shall state a date, which shall be not fewer than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given, on which the termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company is
effective. The date so stated in accordance with this Section 6 shall be the “Termination Date”. If a Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred before the expiration of the term of this Agreement, any subsequent purported
termination by the Company of the Employee’s employment by the Company, or any subsequent purported determination by the Company of the Employee’s Disability, shall be ineffective unless that termination or determination shall have been
communicated by the Company to the Employee by notice that meets the requirements of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 and the provisions of Section 9.

 (3) the Company shall pay to the Employee, as a lump sum, an amount (the
“Severance Payment”) equal to two and one-half (2.5) times the sum of:

Company had continued throughout that fiscal year at the Base Salary at the highest rate in effect at any time during the term of this Agreement; plus 
 B. the amount equal to (I) $800,000, if the Termination Date occurs prior to the Employee earning an annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, (II) the amount of the
annual bonus earned by the Employee with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, if the Termination Date occurs after the Employee earned an annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, but prior to the
Employee earning an annual bonus with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, (III) the average of the two annual bonuses earned by the Employee with respect to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 if the

 (4) the Company (at its sole expense) shall take the following actions:

immediately before the Termination Date; and 

  
 -9-

 B. the Company shall arrange for the Employee’s uninterrupted
participation throughout the Relevant Period in each of such Other Benefit Plans, 
 provided that if the Employee’s
participation after the Termination Date in any such Other Benefit Plan is not permitted by the terms of that Other Benefit Plan, then throughout the Relevant Period, the Company (at its sole expense) shall provide the Employee with substantially
the same benefits that were provided to the Employee by that Other Benefit Plan immediately before the Termination Date; and 
 (5) the Employee shall be entitled to any other amounts or benefits provided under any plan, policy, practice, program, contract or arrangement of or with the Company, including, but not limited to, the
Basic Benefit Plans and the Other Benefit Plans, which shall be governed by the terms thereof (except as explicitly modified by this Agreement). 
 (b) Each payment required to be made to the Employee pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 7(a) above shall be subject to the following rules: 

(i) such payments shall be made by check drawn on an account of the Company at a bank located in the United States of

months of such coverage shall be paid on or before the last day of each month thereafter and (y) if the Employee is determined to be a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) for the year in which such
Termination Date occurs, any payments due under Section 7(a) above that are not permitted to be paid on such date without the imposition of additional taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code shall be paid on the first
business day following the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date or, if earlier, Employee’s death; provided, however, that to the extent such six (6) month delay is imposed by Section 409A of the Code, such payments
shall be irrevocably contributed into a rabbi trust established by the Company for the benefit of Employee with an independent bank trustee as selected by the Employee not more than ten (10) days immediately following the Termination Date and
distributed to Employee as soon as permissible under Section 409A of the Code; and provided further, that to the extent any payments are paid into a rabbi trust such amounts shall be invested in a short-term oriented fund invested in

 Section 8. Successors. If a Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred
before the expiration of the term of this Agreement, 
 (i) the Company shall not, directly or indirectly,
consolidate with, merge into or sell or otherwise transfer its assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to, any person, or permit any person to consolidate with or merge into the Company, unless immediately after such consolidation,
merger, sale or transfer, the Successor shall have assumed in writing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement; and 
 (ii) not fewer than ten (10) days before the consummation of any consolidation of the Company with, merger by the Company into, or sale or other transfer by the Company of its assets as an entirety
or substantially as an entirety to, any person, the Company shall give the Employee notice of that proposed transaction. 

Section 9. Notice. Notices required or permitted to be given by either party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally to the other party or when deposited with the United States Postal Service as certified or registered mail with postage prepaid and addressed: 

(a) if to the Employee, at the Employee’s address last shown on the Company’s records, and 

(b) if to the Company, at 450 Gears Road, Suite 500, Houston, Texas 77067, directed to the attention of the Chief
Executive Officer. 
 or, in either case, to such other address as the party to whom or which such notice is to be given shall have specified by
notice given to the other party. 
 Section 10. Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from all payments to be
paid to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement all taxes that, by applicable federal or state law, the Company is required to so withhold. 
 Section 11. Certain Excise Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Employee is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of
the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for under this Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits which the Employee has the right to receive from the Company, any of its Affiliates or a party to a transaction with the
Company or any of its Affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for under this Agreement shall be either (a) reduced (but not below
zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by the Employee from the Company and its Affiliates will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times the Employee’s “base amount”(as defined in
Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts 

  
 -11-

 
and benefits received by the Employee shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position to
the Employee (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits
to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit
that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in kind hereunder in a similar order. The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary
shall be made by the Company in good faith in reliance on the advice of nationally recognized tax counsel mutually acceptable to the Company and the Employee. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided and through error or otherwise that
payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company (or its Affiliates) used in determining if a parachute payment exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times the Employee’s base amount, then the
Employee shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing in this Section 11 shall require the Company (or any of its Affiliates) to be responsible for, or have any liability or
obligation with respect to, the Employee’s excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code. 

Section 12. Deferred Compensation—Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to meet
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to meet those requirements and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that a payment, or the
settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A of the Code, except as the Board of Directors and Employee otherwise determine in writing, the payment shall be paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, such that the payment, settlement or deferral shall not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the
Code. Any provision of this Agreement that would cause the payment, settlement or deferral thereof to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall be amended (in a manner that as closely as practicable achieves the original intent of
this Agreement) to comply with Section 409A of the Code on a timely basis, which may be made on a retroactive basis, if permitted under the regulations and other guidance issued under Section 409A of the Code. In the event additional
regulations or other guidance is issued under Section 409A of the Code or a court of competent jurisdiction provides additional authority concerning the application of Section 409A with respect to the payments described hereunder, then the
provisions regarding such payments shall be amended to permit such payments to be made at the earliest time allowed under such additional regulations, guidance or authority that is practicable and achieves the original intent of this Agreement.

 Section 13. Expenses of Enforcement. If a Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred before the
expiration of the term of this Agreement, then, upon demand by the Employee made to the Company, the Company shall reimburse the Employee for the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Employee in enforcing
or seeking to enforce the payment of any amount or other benefit to which the Employee shall have become entitled pursuant to this Agreement, including those incurred in connection with any arbitration initiated pursuant to Section 21. To the
extent that any such reimbursement would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, then the provisions of Section 11 hereof shall apply to such circumstance unless the context thereof otherwise indicates.

 Section 14. Employment by Wholly Owned Entities. If, at or after the Effective
Date, the Employee is or becomes an employee of one or more corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies or other entities that are, directly or indirectly, wholly owned by the Company (“Wholly Owned Entities”), references in
this Agreement to the Employee’s employment by the Company shall include the Employee’s employment by any such Wholly Owned Entity. 
 Section 15. No Obligation to Mitigate; No Rights of Offset. 
 (a) The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or other benefit required to be paid or provided to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement, whether by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any such payment or other benefit be reduced on account of any compensation earned by the Employee as a result of employment by another person. 

(b) The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its
obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Employee or others. 

Section 16. Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived (whether by act or course of
conduct or omission or otherwise) unless that amendment or waiver is by written instrument signed by the parties hereto. No waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

 Section 17. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and enforceability of this Agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. 
 Section 18. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 Section 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute the same instrument. 

Section 20. Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee’s legal
representative. The Company may not assign any of its obligations under this Agreement unless (i) such assignment is to a Successor and (ii) the requirements of Section 8 are fulfilled. 

Section 21. Arbitration. Any dispute between the parties arising out of this Agreement, whether as to this Agreement’s
construction, interpretation or enforceability or as to any party’s breach or alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement, shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the following procedures:

Arbitration Committee of the American Arbitration Association. Not more than 15 days after the second arbitrator is so named, the two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators shall fail to timely select a third arbitrator,
the third arbitrator shall be named by the Arbitration Committee of the American Arbitration Association. 

(iii) The dispute shall be arbitrated at a hearing that shall be concluded within ten days immediately following the date
