Restricted Share Unit Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) are the Employees, Directors and Consultants of Ascendant

“Award Agreement” shall mean the written agreement evidencing the terms and conditions
of a grant of an Award under this Plan to an Eligible Person. Each Award Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan and need not be identical.

 

2.4           
“Award Date” shall mean the date on which an Award is granted to an Eligible Person.

 

2.5           
 “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company, as the same may be constituted

a criminal felony (other than automobile related violations) or other serious crime; (b) the Participant’s willful and continued
refusal to follow reasonable instructions of the Board which are material to the Company's operations or prospects and only after
the Board provides written notice to the Participant which identifies with reasonable specificity the manner in which the Participant
refused to follow such instructions and the Participant has been provided a reasonable opportunity to cure such deficiency; or
(c) the Participant’s devotion of less than substantially all of his full time during normal business hours to the Company
and which is not promptly cured after written notice from the Board to Participant. If a Participant is a party to an employment
or service agreement with the Company or an Affiliate and such agreement provides for a definition of “Cause,” the
definition therein contained shall instead constitute “Cause” for purposes of this Plan. The determination of a Participant’s
termination for “Cause” shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board.

 

2.7           
“Change of Control” shall mean the earliest to occur of the following:

 

(a)            
the acquisition by any one Person, or more than one Person acting as a group, other than by the Company, an Affiliate
or an employee benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate, of the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total Fair
Market Value or total voting power of the Common Stock of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation or sale or transfer of
the Common Stock);

 

(b)            
the acquisition by any one Person, or more than one Person acting as a group, other than by the Company, an Affiliate
or an employee benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;

Directors) for any reason; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election
or nomination was approved by at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors will be considered an Incumbent Director; and

 

(d)            
the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, that if any one Person, or more than one Person acting as a group, is considered to own 50% or more of the total Fair
Market Value or total voting power of the Common Stock of the Company on the Effective Date, the acquisition of additional Common
Stock by the same Person or group is not considered to cause a Change of Control under hereunder.

 

2.8

“Continuous Service” means that the Participant’s service with the Company or
any Affiliate, whether as an Employee, Director or Consultant, is not interrupted or terminated. A Participant’s Continuous
Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service
to the Company or any Affiliate as an Employee, Consultant or Director or a change in the entity for which the Participant renders
such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service. For example,
a change in status from an Employee of the Company to a Consultant of an Affiliate or a Director will not constitute an interruption
of Continuous Service. The Plan Administrator will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether Continuous Service will
be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by the Company, including sick leave, military leave or
any other personal leave.

Administration of Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Board
may appoint a committee of one or more Persons to administer the Plan. In the event of a vacancy in the committee, the Board shall
appoint another Person to serve. All members of the committee will serve at the pleasure of the Board and, except as otherwise
provided under this Plan, shall be authorized to act with respect to all matters relating to the administration of the Plan. The
committee will act by a majority of its members (or by unanimous vote if the committee is comprised of two (2) members). To the
extent a committee appointed hereunder shall cease or no longer be authorized to act hereunder, the functions delegated to the
committee shall revert to the Board.

 

3.2           
Powers of the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have the power, in its sole and
absolute discretion, but subject to and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

 

(a)       To
recommend to the Board from time to time which Eligible Persons should be granted Awards under the Plan as well as the number of
Restricted Share Units to grant under an Award, the performance criteria or other vesting conditions for an Award and any restrictions
on Shares which may be issued in settlement of an Award;

 

(b)       To
rely upon employees of the Company for such clerical and recordkeeping duties as may be necessary in connection with the administration

Effect of Plan Administrator’s Decision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions
made by the Plan Administrator in good faith shall not be subject to review by any Person and shall be final, binding and conclusive
on all Persons. Any member of the committee or the Board acting as Plan Administrator, and any officer or Employee of the Company
or any Affiliate acting at the direction of the Plan Administrator, shall not be personally liable for any action or determination
taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent provided in subsection 11.4 hereof, be fully
indemnified by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.

SECTION
4

ELIGIBILITY

 

From time to time,
the Board shall determine, within the limitations of the Plan, the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Awards are to be
granted. In making the determination of whether to grant an Award to an Employee, Consultant, or Director and the terms, conditions
and restrictions to impose on such Award, the Board shall consider recommendations presented by the Plan Administrator as well
as such factors as the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion may deem relevant in connection with the purposes of this Plan,
including the provision of future or past services.

 

SECTION
5

RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

 

5.1           
Grant of Restricted Share Units. Each Award granted to an Eligible Person shall be evidenced by
an Award Agreement, in such form as prescribed by the Plan Administrator and containing such terms and provisions as are required
by the Board and which are not inconsistent with this Plan, and shall be executed by the Company and the Eligible Person to whom
such Award was granted. The provisions of separate Award Agreements need not be identical, but each Award Agreement shall include
(through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the Award Agreement or otherwise) the terms of the Plan.

 

5.2           
Forfeiture of Restricted Share Units.

 

(a)       Forfeiture
of Restricted Share Units. Subject to subsection 5.2(b) herein, and except as otherwise provided in the applicable
Award Agreement, all Restricted Share Units shall be forfeited and all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted
Share Units shall terminate unless such Participant satisfies the requirements of the Award Agreement.

 

(b)       Waiver
of Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5 to the contrary, the Board may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, waive any vesting, performance or other conditions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement under
appropriate circumstances (which may include the death or Disability of the Participant, or a material change in circumstances
arising after the Award Date) and impose such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate number of the Restricted
Share Units) as the Board shall deem appropriate and which are not inconsistent with this Plan.

 

5.3           
Dividend Equivalents. To the extent provided under an Award Agreement, the Participant shall be
credited with additional Restricted Share Units if the Company declares and pays a cash dividend on Common Stock. In such circumstances,
a number of additional Restricted Share Units shall be credited to the Participant as of the payment date for such dividend equal
to (A) the number of Restricted Share Units credited to the Participant as of the record date for such dividend, multiplied by
(B) the amount of cash actually paid as a dividend on each Share at such payment date, divided by (C) the Fair Market Value of
a share of Common Stock on such payment date. Dividend equivalents shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Award Agreement.

 

5.4           
Time of Payment. Each Award shall be settled, to the extent vested, at the time specified in the
Award Agreement, which shall be no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the end of the calendar year
in which such Restricted Share Units, or portion thereof, are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, settlement of the Award may occur after such date if (i) it is administratively impracticable to settle a Restricted
Share Unit by such date and such impracticability was unforeseeable on the Award Date, provided that settlement occurs as soon
as administratively practicable thereafter or (ii) settlement by such date would jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern, provided that settlement occurs as soon as doing so would not have such effect.

 

5.5           
Form of Settlement.
Settlement of a vested Award may be made in cash, in Shares, or in a combination thereof, as determined in the sole discretion
of the Board. The Company will evidence the issuance of Shares hereunder by any means appropriate, including, without limitation,
electronic registration, book-entry registration or issuance of a duly executed Share certificate in the name of the Participant,
provided that a stock certificate evidencing restricted Shares granted pursuant to this Plan shall be held in the custody of the
Company or its duly authorized delegate until the restrictions thereon have lapsed. If a certificate is issued, the certificate
shall include a legend giving appropriate notice of the restrictions on the Shares, if applicable.

 

5.6           
Transferability of Restricted Share Units. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the Award
Agreement, Restricted Share Units shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of a permissible transfer, no benefit shall be paid or delivered to the transferee unless and until
the Plan Administrator has received satisfactory evidence necessary to establish the validity of the transfer.

 

 

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

SECTION
6

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

 

Except to the extent
otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, no Person shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect
to any Shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Award is settled all or in part, by the delivery
of Shares, then the Participant shall have the rights of a shareholder as of the date on which the Participant becomes the holder
of record of such Shares and, except as otherwise permitted by Section 5 and Section 9, no adjustment will be made
for dividends in respect of such Shares for which the record date is prior to the date on which such Participant has become the
holder of record.

 

SECTION
7

TAX WITHHOLDING

 

As a condition to the
settlement of an Award, Participant must satisfy the applicable withholding obligation as may be required by law. The Plan Administrator
shall notify each Participant of any tax withholding obligations arising as a result of the grant, vesting or settlement of an
Award. The amount, as determined by the Plan Administrator, of any federal, state or local tax required to be withheld by the Company
due to the grant, vesting or settlement of an Award must be submitted in such amounts and at such time as specified in the applicable
Award Agreement:

 

(a)       by
payment to the Company of the amount of such withholding obligation by cash, wire transfer, certified check or bank draft;

 

(b)       through
either the retention by the Company of a number of Shares out of the Shares being delivered upon settlement of the Award or the
delivery of unrestricted Shares owned by Participant for more than six (6) months (or such shorter or longer period as is required
by the Board to avoid a charge to earnings on the Company’s financial statements) and having a Fair Market Value equal to
the minimum withholding obligation; or

 

(c)       pursuant
to a written agreement between Participant and the Company authorizing the Company to withhold from the cash payable under the
Award or such Participant’s regular wages the amount of such withholding tax obligation.

 

If Participant elects
to use and the Plan Administrator permits either method described in subsection 7.2(b) herein in full or partial satisfaction
of any withholding tax liability resulting from the grant, vesting or settlement of an Award hereunder, the Company shall remit
an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares so withheld or delivered, as the case may be, to the appropriate taxing
authorities.

 

SECTION
8

COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS

 

8.1           
Legal Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, the Company
shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for failure to deliver any Shares under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery
of Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, U.S. state securities
laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities
may then be traded, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

8.2           
Investment Representations. Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to transfer restrictions,
and the person acquiring the Shares shall, as a condition to the receipt of such Shares upon settlement of the Awards, provide
such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with applicable
laws, including, without limitation, the representation and warranty at the time of acquisition of the Shares that the Shares are
being acquired only for investment purposes and without any present intention to sell, transfer, or distribute the Shares.

 

8.3           
Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body
having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of
any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

8.4           
Restrictive Legends. The certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear legends substantially equivalent
to the following:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED OR REGISTERED UNDER STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY
LAWS. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION, AND NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR
ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED
OF EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS AND THE APPLICABLE
RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER AND THE TERMS OF THE ASCENDANT SOLUTIONS, INC. RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT INCENTIVE PLAN. THE ISSUER
OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED
TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER
OF THESE SHARES. A COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE
BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

 

SECTION
9

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN SHARES

 

9.1           
Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the Common Stock, without the receipt of consideration
by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property
other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of Shares, exchange of Shares, change in corporate structure or
other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted in the class(es)
of Shares available for issuance under the Plan, and all outstanding Awards shall be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and
number of Shares and price per Share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Awards. The Plan Administrator shall make such
adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the
Company shall not be treated as a transaction “without receipt of consideration” by the Company).

 

9.2           
Change of Control. Except to the extent otherwise provided in an applicable Award Agreement, in
the event of a Change of Control, then with respect to Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated
as of the effective date of such Change of Control:

 

(a)            
Acceleration of Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), the restrictions and conditions on
all outstanding Restricted Share Units held by such Participant shall immediately lapse.

 

(b)            
Assumption of Grants. Upon a Change in Control where the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives
only as a subsidiary of another corporation), all outstanding Restricted Share Units shall be assumed by, or replaced with comparable
awards, by the surviving corporation. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of
the Participant’s Involuntary Termination within the two (2) year period following a Change of Control, the restrictions
and conditions on the assumed or substituted award held by such Participant shall immediately lapse.

 

SECTION
10

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

10.1        
Amendment of Plan. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, all
provisions of this Plan may at any time, or from time to time, be modified or amended by the Board; provided, however, that no
amendment or modification shall be made to the Plan that would impair the rights of any Participant with respect to an outstanding
Award issued to such Participant, unless the Participant impaired by the amendment or modification consents to such change in writing.

 

10.2        
Amendment of Award. The Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award at any time
prior to payment in any manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, provided the Participant’s rights under the
Award shall not be impaired by such amendment unless the Participant consents in writing.

 

10.3        
Termination of Plan. The Board may suspend or terminate this Plan at any time, provided that the
termination of this Plan shall not impair or affect any Award previously granted hereunder and the rights of the holder thereof

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

11.1        
No Assignment or Alienation. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other
disposition of an Award or Shares issued in connection with an Award contrary to the provisions of this Plan or the applicable
Award Agreement, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon an Award or Shares issued in connection with
an Award, shall be null and void and without effect.

 

11.2        
No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company
from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable
or applicable only in specific cases.

 

11.3        
No Right to Employment or Continuation of Relationship. Nothing in this Plan or in any Award Agreement,
nor the grant of any Award, shall confer upon or be construed as giving any Participant any right to remain in the employ of the
Company or an Affiliate or to continue as a Consultant or Director. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss
a Participant from employment or terminate the relationship of any Consultant or Director with the Company or any Affiliate, free
from any liability or any claim pursuant to this Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or in any Award Agreement.
No Consultant, Director or Employee of the Company or any Affiliate shall have any claim to be granted an Award, and there is no
obligation for uniformity of treatment of any Consultant, Director or Employee of the Company or any Affiliate, or of any Participant.

 

11.4        
Indemnification of Plan Administrator. The Company shall indemnify each present and future member
of the committee or the Board acting in its capacity as Plan Administrator, as well as any officer or Employee acting at the direction
of the Plan Administrator or its authorized delegate, for all expenses (including the amount of judgments and the amount of approved
settlements made with a view to the curtailment of costs of litigation, other than amounts paid to the Company itself) reasonably
incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his
performance of services in connection with the administration of this Plan, whether or not he continues to perform such services
at the time of incurring such expenses; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not include any expenses incurred by such
individual (a) in respect of matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in any such action, suit, or proceeding to have been
guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duties hereunder or (b) in respect of any matter in
which any settlement is effected in an amount in excess of the amount approved by the Company on the advice of its legal counsel.
The foregoing right of indemnification shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, or administrators of the estate of each
such member of the committee or the Board and each such officer or Employee acting at the direction of the Plan Administrator or
its authorized delegate, and shall be in addition to all other rights to which such member, officer or Employee shall be entitled
as a matter of law, contract, or otherwise.

 

11.5        
No Limitation Upon the Rights of the Company. The grant of an Award pursuant to this Plan shall
not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, or changes of its capital or business
structure; to merge, convert or consolidate; to dissolve or liquidate; or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

11.6        
No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be delivered pursuant to this Plan. If a fractional
Share is to be issued under an Award, the Plan Administrator shall pay cash to Participant in an amount equal to the proportional
Fair Market Value of such fractional Share in lieu of the issuance of any such fractional Share, and any rights with respect to
such fractional Share shall be cancelled, terminated and otherwise eliminated.

 

11.7        
GOVERNING LAW. TO THE EXTENT NOT OTHERWISE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION
AND EFFECT OF THIS PLAN AND ANY RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO THIS PLAN SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

 

11.8        
Qualification of Plan. This Plan is not intended to be, and shall not be, qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code.

 

11.9        
Compliance with Code Section 409A. It is the intention of the Company that the Plan and the Awards
qualify as “short-term deferrals” exempt from Code Section 409A. Accordingly, to the extent of any ambiguity in the
interpretation of a provision within this Plan or an Award Agreement, the Plan Administrator shall be authorized to interpret such
provision in any manner that achieves such objective. In the event the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that
an amendment to the Plan or Award Agreement is required or advisable, such amendment shall be deemed to not impair the rights of
Participant and shall not require the consent of Participant.

 

 

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

11.10

ASCENDANT SOLUTIONS, INC.

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT INCENTIVE PLAN

 

SPECIMEN OF THE 

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT

 

This Restricted Share
Unit Agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective as of ___________, 2013 (“Award Date”)
by and between Ascendant Solutions, Inc. (“Company”) and ________________ (“Participant”).
Any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given such term in the Ascendant Solutions, Inc. Restricted
Share Unit Incentive Plan, as amended (“Plan”).

 

1.              
Grant of Restricted Share Units. Pursuant to the Plan, Participant is hereby awarded restricted share units
covering [ENTER NUMBER] shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Share Units”). Each Restricted Share
Unit represents the right to receive one Share or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share, plus additional amounts described
in Section 5, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. On any day, the value of a Restricted Share Unit
shall equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock of the Company.

 

2.              
Vesting of Restricted Share Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award and the Plan, 25% of
the Restricted Share Units shall vest, and the restrictions with respect to the Restricted Share Units shall lapse, on each of
the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of Award Date if (a) Participant remains in the Continuous Service of the Company
or any Affiliate on such date or (b) Participant’s Continuous Service for the Company and all Affiliates terminates as a
result of his death or Disability during such year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, then, if
Participant’s Continuous Service has not terminated as of the effective date of such Change of Control, the following provisions
shall apply:

 

(a)            
Acceleration of Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), the restrictions and conditions on all outstanding
Restricted Share Units granted under this Award shall immediately lapse.

 

(b)            
Assumption of Grants. Upon a Change in Control where the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only
as a subsidiary of another corporation), all outstanding Restricted Share Units shall be assumed by, or replaced with comparable
awards, by the surviving corporation; provided, however, in the event of the Participant’s Involuntary Termination within
the two (2) year period following such Change of Control, the restrictions and conditions on such assumed or substituted award
shall immediately lapse.

 

3.              
Forfeiture Obligations. If Participant’s Continuous Service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates
before all Restricted Share Units have vested for any reason, Participant (or Participant’s estate, as applicable) shall,
for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all Restricted Share Units that have not vested as of the date of such termination.

 

4.              
Dividend Equivalents. As long as Participant holds Restricted Share Units granted pursuant to this Award,
the Company shall credit to Participant, on each date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Common Stock generally,
an additional number of Restricted Share Units (“Additional Restricted Share Units”) equal to the total
number of whole Restricted Share Units and Additional Restricted Share Units previously credited to Participant under this Award
multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Common Stock by the Company on such date, divided by the
Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such date. Any fractional Restricted Share Unit resulting from such calculation
shall be included in the Additional Restricted Share Units. The Additional Restricted Share Units so credited shall be subject
to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Share Units to which such Additional Restricted Share Units relate and the Additional
Restricted Share Units shall be forfeited in the event that the Restricted Share Units with respect to which such Additional Restricted
Share Units were credited are forfeited.

 

5.              
Time of Payment. Except as otherwise provided under the Plan, the Award shall be settled, to the extent vested,
as soon as administratively practicable following the date on which the Forfeiture Obligations lapse pursuant to Section 3, but
in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the end of the calendar year in which the Forfeiture Obligations
lapse.

 

6.              
Form of Settlement. On the date of settlement, the Company will pay a lump sum cash payment to the Participant
equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares of Common Stock underlying the vested Restricted Share Units. Alternatively, the Board
may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to issue Shares of Common Stock to the Participant in settlement of all or
part of the Award and pay a lump sum cash payment to the Participant for the balance, if any. If applicable, evidence of the issuance
of the Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement may be accomplished in such manner as the Company shall deem appropriate, including
without limitation electronic registration, book-entry registration or issuance of a certificate in the name of Participant. If
the Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement remains subject to any additional restrictions, the Company shall be entitled
to take such actions as reasonably necessary to ensure that Participant is prohibited from entering into any transaction which
would violate any such restrictions, until such restrictions lapse.

7.              
No Transfer. Unless otherwise approved by the Plan Administrator, the Restricted Share Units shall not be
sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Any attempted assignment of a Restricted Share Unit in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void. The Company shall not
be required to honor the transfer of any Restricted Share Units that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any
of the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan.

 

8.              
Community Interest of Spouse. The community interest, if any, of any spouse of Participant in any of the Restricted
Share Units shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement and the Plan, and shall be forfeited
and surrendered to the Company upon the occurrence of any of the events requiring Participant’s interest in such Restricted
Share Units to be so forfeited and surrendered pursuant to this Agreement.

 

9.              
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors to the Company
and all persons lawfully claiming under Participant.

 

10.           
Required Withholding. The settlement of this Award shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable
federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements (“Required Withholding”).
By execution of this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to have authorized the Company to withhold from the cash paid or Shares
issued pursuant to this Agreement, that amount, or, if applicable, the number of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value
equal to such amount, necessary to satisfy Participant's Required Withholding, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may require that Participant satisfy Participant's Required Withholding, if any, by any other means the Plan Administrator, in
its sole discretion, considers appropriate.

 

11.           
Tax Consequences. Participant acknowledges that the tax consequences associated with the award of Restricted
Share Units and the issuance of Shares by the Company to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement are complex and that the Company
has urged Participant to review the federal, state and local tax consequences thereof with Participant's own tax advisors. Participant
is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant
understands that Participant (and not the Company) is responsible for Participant's tax liability arising as a result of this Agreement.

 

10.       Administration.
The Plan Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken
and all interpretations and determinations made by the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the
Company and all interested Persons. The Plan Administrator shall not be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation
made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

 

11.       No
Rights of a Shareholder. Other than the rights provided in this Agreement, Participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder
of the Company unless such Restricted Share Units have vested and shares of Common Stock of the Company have been issued in settlement
of the Award.

 

12.       No
Employment Rights. The grant, vesting or settlement of Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Agreement shall not give
Participant any right to remain employed (or in other service) with the Company or any Affiliate.

 

13.       Amendment.
This Agreement made by amended only by a writing executed by the Board and Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be amended unilaterally by the Board if such amendment is in writing, delivered to Participant, and does not adversely affect
the rights of Participant under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event the Board, in its sole and absolute
discretion, determines that an amendment to the Plan or Award Agreement is required or advisable to ensure that this Award is exempt
from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such amendment shall be deemed to not impair the rights of
Participant and shall not require the consent of Participant.

14.       Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas.

 

15.       Construction.
The Restricted Share Units are being issued pursuant to the Plan and are subject to the terms of the Plan. A copy of the Plan has
been delivered to Participant, and additional copies of the Plan are available upon request during normal business hours at the
principal executive offices of the Company. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement violates or is inconsistent with
an express provision of the Plan, the Plan provision shall govern and any inconsistent provision in this Agreement shall be of
no force or effect.

 

16.       Severability.
If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid,
such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared unlawful or invalid.
Any provision of this Agreement declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give
effect to the terms of the applicable section of this Agreement to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
