 Exhibit 10.20 

ENHANCED SEVERANCE ELIGIBILITY AGREEMENT 

This Severance Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of this      day of
            , 2012 (the “Effective Date”) between SRA International, Inc. (“SRA”), a company with its principal place of business located in Fairfax, Virginia, and
Paul Nedzbala (the “Employee”). 
 WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, SRA believes it is in the best interests of SRA to ensure that it will have the continued dedication of the Employee and to encourage
Employee’s full attention and dedication to SRA and ensure the compensation and benefits expectations of the Employee are satisfied and competitive with those of other companies; and 

WHEREAS, the parties want to make available enhanced severance benefits to Employee should employment be terminated under certain
circumstances; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements of the parties hereto and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the parties hereto, it is agreed as follows: 
  

	1.	TERM: The “Term” of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire on the second anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that while this Agreement is in
effect, beginning on the one year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Annual Renewal Date”) the Term shall be automatically extended for an additional one (1) year unless at least three (3) months prior to the Annual Renewal
Date, SRA gives written notice to the Employee that the Term shall not be extended. The Employee’s employment relationship will remain at-will, with either SRA or the Employee able to terminate the employment relationship at any time for any
reason with or without notice. 

  

	2.	TERMINATION: The Employee’s employment with SRA may be terminated by either party as set forth below. 

  

	 	(a)	Termination for Cause by SRA: Termination of Employee’s employment by SRA based upon any of the following grounds shall constitute “Termination for Cause” for purposes of this Agreement:

  

	 	(i)	The refusal or neglect of the Employee to perform substantially his employment-related duties; 

  

	 	(ii)	The Employee’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, or breach of fiduciary duty; 

	 	(iii)	The Employee’s conviction of or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere (or any applicable equivalent thereof) to a crime constituting a felony (or a crime or offense of equivalent magnitude in any
jurisdiction) or his willful violation of any other law, rule, or regulation (other than a traffic violation or other offense or violation outside of the course of employment that in no way adversely affects SRA or its reputation or the ability of
the Employee to perform his employment related duties or to represent SRA); 

  

	 	(iv)	The material breach by the Employee of any covenant or agreement with SRA, or any written policy or procedure of SRA; 

  

	 	(v)	The Employee’s knowing violation of any state or federal law, rule or regulation in the course of his employment that directly relates to the affairs of SRA; or 

 

	 	(vi)	the Employee’s failure to maintain the Employee’s eligibility for the government clearances required to perform his duties. 

 

	 	(b)	Termination Without Cause by SRA: If SRA terminates the Employee’s employment for any reason other than those set forth in the preceding subsection, such Termination shall constitute “Termination
Without Cause.” 

  

	 	(c)	Voluntary Termination by the Employee: The Employee may voluntarily terminate his employment upon at least fourteen (14) days advance written notice. 

 

	 	(d)	Termination for Good Reason by Employee: After the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below), the Employee may terminate his employment for “Good Reason” by submitting a written notice of the
Employee’s intent to resign pursuant to the occurrence of one of the following events: 

  

	 	(i)	A material adverse change in Employee’s title, position, responsibilities, duties, or compensation; 

  

	 	(ii)	The assignment of duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s duties as of the date of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(iii)	A material change in the Employee’s principal place of employment such that the Employee’s commuting distance as of the date of this Agreement increases by more than twenty-five (25) miles; or

  
 2 

	 	(iv)	Failure by SRA to obtain written assumption of this Agreement but a purchaser or successor following a Change in Control. 

Employee must give SRA written notice of any Good Reason termination of employment within thirty (30) days following Employee’s
knowledge of the first occurrence of a Good Reason circumstance set forth above. Such notice must specify which of the circumstances set forth above the Employee is relying upon and the particular action(s) or inaction(s) giving rise to such
circumstances. The Good Reason termination shall not be effective if, within ninety (90) days of SRA’s receipt of such notice, SRA remedies the circumstance(s) giving rise to the notice, or if the Employee’s actual Termination Date
does not occur within thirty (30) days after the end of the ninety (90) day period provided to SRA to remedy the circumstances giving rise to the notice. 
  

	 	(e)	Death of Employee: Employee’s employment shall cease upon the event of Employee’s Death. 

  

	 	(f)	Disability of Employee: Employee’s employment shall cease, at the option of SRA, upon the event of Employee’s Disability (as defined herein). “Disability” means a physical or mental impairment
which prevents the Employee from performing the essential functions of his position, with or without reasonable accommodation, and which has lasted at least 120 consecutive days. A physician selected by the SRA or its insurers shall make the

Employee; (ii) if Employee’s employment is terminated under Section 2(e) above, the date of the Employee’s death; and (iii) if the Employee’s employment is terminated under Section 2(f) above, the date that is 30
days from the date of the notice sent to the Employee under such Section.

 3

	 	(iii)	up to six (6) months of executive-level outplacement with an outplacement vendor of SRA’s choosing; and

	 	(c)	Termination Without Cause by SRA Following Change of Control or Termination by Employee for Good Reason Following Change in Control: If the Employee’s employment with SRA is terminated either: (x) by
the Employee for Good Reason following a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2(d) above; or (y) by SRA Without Cause under Section 2(b) within the six (6) months following a Change in Control, then, subject to Section 3(d), the Employee
shall receive: 	 

  

	 	(i)	all of the benefits described in Section 3(b) above in the times and manner stated therein; and 

  

	 	(ii)	an amount equal to the target amount of the IIC bonus for the full fiscal year in which termination occurs at an individual metric of 1.0, to be paid out within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date of the
Release (as defined below in Section 3(d)). 

  
 4 

	 	(d)	Separation Agreement and Release. As a condition to entitlement to any payment under Section 3(b) or 3(c), Employee must execute, deliver to SRA, and not revoke a separation agreement in a form acceptable to
SRA which shall include a full general release and waiver of any claims the Employee may hold or purport to hold against SRA and its affiliates, employees, etc., a nondisparagement clause, and an affirmation of any post-employment obligations the
Employee may have, within the time frame set forth therein (“Release”); provided, that if the revocation period with respect to such a separation agreement begins in one calendar year and ends in another, payments under Section 3(b)
and 3(c) shall begin no earlier than January 1 of the calendar year following the commencement of the revocation period. 

  

	 	(e)	No Other Benefits. Except as stated herein, or as required under the health care continuation provisions of COBRA, Employee shall not be eligible to participate in or accrue any additional benefits from SRA after
the Termination Date, including, but not limited to, any other severance or salary continuation, whether under any other agreement or policy or otherwise, the 401(k) Plan, short-term or long-term disability, workers’ compensation or other
benefits, except Employee shall remain vested in any portion of Employee’s 401(k) account in which Employee was vested as of the Termination Date. 

  

	 	(f)	Tax Treatment. All payments hereunder shall be subject to tax withholding except where expressly excluded under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a
payment or benefit under any provision of this Agreement is due to a “separation from service”, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder
(“Section 409A”), and if the Employee is determined to be a “specified employee” (as determined under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i) and related procedures of SRA), such payment shall, to the extent necessary to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A and Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(2), be made on the later of (a) the date specified by the provisions of this Agreement and (b) the earlier of (x) the date that is six months after the date of

	 	(a)	Employee acknowledges Employee’s continuing obligations under Employee’s Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Assignment of Inventions Agreement, the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement, and any other such
agreements. 

  

	 	(b)	For a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, on Employee’s own behalf or the behalf of another person or entity: (i) induce or attempt to
induce any person employed by SRA and its Affiliates to leave their employment with SRA and its Affiliates; (ii) hire or employ, or attempt to hire or employ, any person employed by SRA and its Affiliates; or (iii) assist any other person
or entity in the hiring of any person employed SRA and its Affiliates.

Date, was involved in soliciting or making a proposal, on behalf of SRA or any Affiliate, for the provision of services. 

  
 8 

	 	(d)	Employee further agrees that, for the term of Employee’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, the Employee shall not undertake to purposefully interfere with the
relationship of SRA or any Affiliate with any Customer or Prospective Customer. This means that Employee shall refrain: (i) from making disparaging comments about SRA or any Affiliate, or their respective management or employees to any Customer
or Prospective Customer; (ii) from attempting to persuade any Customer or Prospective Customer to cease doing business with SRA or any Affiliate; or (iii) from soliciting any Customer or Prospective Customer for the purpose of providing
services competitive with the business of SRA or any Affiliate; or (iv) from assisting any person or entity in doing any of the foregoing. 

  

	 	(e)	Each of the covenants (b) through (d) above is separate and independent, and in the event that one or more of the provisions herein shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties expressly agree and
authorize the court to modify the agreement so as to render such agreement or provision thereof valid enforceable or to sever the unenforceable provision and enforce the remaining the provisions. 

 

	6.	WITHHOLDING FUNDS: In the event that the Employee shall owe an obligation of any type whatsoever to SRA at any time during or after the termination of employment hereunder, then, subject to any mandatory
provisions of law, the Employee expressly authorizes SRA to withhold or deduct an amount equal to said obligation from any wages due to the Employee back from SRA or any amounts due hereunder. For purposes of this provision, wages shall mean any
remuneration, compensation, bonus, commission, and/or fringe benefit provided in return for services provided by the Employee. 

  

	7.	 SECTION 409A: This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A (including the exceptions thereto), to the
extent applicable, and SRA shall administer and interpret this Agreement in accordance with such requirements. To the extent permitted under Section 409A, each payment (including the provision of taxable benefits) provided under
Section 3(b)(ii) and Section 3(c) shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A and Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b), and is intended to be (i) exempt from Section 409A, including, but not limited
to, by compliance with the short-term deferral exception as specified in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and the involuntary separation pay exception within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or (ii) in
compliance with Section 409A, including, but not limited to, being paid pursuant to a fixed schedule or specified date pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(A), and the provisions of this Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and
construed accordingly. If, nonetheless, this Agreement either fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or is not exempt from the application of Section 409A, then the parties hereby agree to amend or to clarify this Agreement in a
timely manner so that this Agreement 

  
 9 

	 	
either satisfies the requirements of Section 409A or is exempt from the application of Section 409A; provided, however, that no such amendment or clarification shall reduce the economic
benefit that Employee was to derive from this Agreement prior to such amendment or clarification. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or any other provision of this Agreement hereof, in no event whatsoever shall SRA be liable for any additional
tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Employee by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. 

  

	8.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement, along with Employee’s Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Assignment of Inventions Agreement and the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement, constitutes the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior written or oral understandings or agreements of the parties related to the subject matter hereof, except for any post-employment obligations entered into
by Employee, which shall remain in full force and effect. The Employee’s obligations under sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If Employee has signed a Senior Executive Retention
Agreement with SRA this Agreement supersedes the Senior Executive Retention Agreement. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein has been made or relied upon by any party hereto. No change,
modification, amendment or addition shall be valid, unless set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such change, modification, amendment or addition is assigned. 

 

	9.	SEVERABILITY: If any section or clause of this Agreement is held invalid, unenforceable, void, illegal or contrary to public policy, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall
remain fully enforceable. The parties hereto shall use best efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business, and other
purposes of such void or unenforceable provision. 

  

	10.	NON-WAIVER: No failure or delay by any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any rights or remedies provided by law or available in equity.

  

	11.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, as well as their
respective successors, assigns, heirs, representatives, agents and employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee expressly acknowledges that SRA has the right to assign this Agreement. 

  
 10 

	13.	NOTICES: Any notice or communications required or permitted to be given to the parties hereto shall be delivered personally, sent by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return
receipt requested, or sent by overnight or next-day delivery, and addressed or delivered as follows, or at such other addresses the party may have substituted by notice pursuant to this Section:

 Exhibit 10.21 

Sterling Holdco, Inc. 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 

This RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated effective as of XXXXXXXXX, is entered into by and between
Sterling Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and XXXXXXXXXX (the “Participant”), pursuant to the Sterling Holdco, Inc. Restricted Stock Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the
“Plan”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan. 
 WHEREAS,
the Company desires to grant shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) to certain key employees of the Company, subject to the restrictions described below (“Restricted Stock”); 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan in order to effect such grants; and 

WHEREAS, the Participant is a key employee as contemplated by the Plan, and the Committee has determined that it is in the interest of the
Company to grant shares of Restricted Stock to the Participant. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Confirmation of Grant. 

A. Grant of Restricted Stock. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the date hereof (the “Grant
Date”), XXXX shares of Restricted Stock, which are subject to all of the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, the terms of which are made a part of, and incorporated into, this Agreement. As a
condition of receiving the grant of these shares of Restricted Stock, Participant hereby agrees to sign this Agreement and to execute a Joinder Agreement to the Management Stockholders Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A. Any prior agreement, commitments or negotiations between the Company and Participant concerning this grant of Restricted Stock are hereby superseded and extinguished. 

B. Investment Representation. Instruments evidencing the grant of Restricted Stock may contain such other provisions, not inconsistent
with the Plan, as the Committee deems advisable, including a requirement that a Participant represent to the Company in writing, when such Participant receives Restricted Stock (or at such other time as the Committee deems appropriate), that such
Participant is an accredited investor, 

 
as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, is acquiring such shares (unless they are then covered by an effective registration statement filed under the Act) are for such Participant’s own
account for investment only and with no present intention to transfer, sell, or otherwise dispose of such shares except such disposition by a legal representative as shall be required by will or the laws of any jurisdiction in winding up the estate
of such Participant. Such shares of Common Stock shall be transferable only if the proposed transfer shall be permissible pursuant to the Plan and if, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, such transfer at such time will be in
compliance with all applicable securities laws. 
 2. Vesting. The Company will issue the Participant’s Restricted
Stock in his or her name. The Participant’s right to the Common Stock granted under this Agreement will be 100% fully vested as of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”). 

3. Restrictions. In order to receive any grant of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Participant hereby agrees that he or she shall
(i) execute this Restricted Stock Agreement, (ii) execute a Joinder Agreement to the Management Stockholders Agreement in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A, and (iii) deposit with the Company any executed blank
share power of attorney or other instrument of transfer therefor that may be reasonably requested by the Company from time to time. As soon as administratively practicable after the Vesting Date, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, in
book-entry form, the shares of Restricted Stock that shall be subject to the restrictive covenants and repurchase terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Stock Agreement, to any restrictions required under Federal securities laws or other
applicable law, and to any restrictions set forth under the Management Stockholders Agreement. 
 4. Stockholder Rights.
During the period of restrictions with regard to the shares of Restricted Stock granted to a Participant hereunder, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including but not limited to the right to receive
dividends (or amounts equivalent to dividends) and to vote with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, except as otherwise provided by the Committee, this Agreement, or the Management Stockholders Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the vested shares of Restricted Stock granted to a Participant hereunder upon the Participant’s termination of employment from the Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason;
provided, however, that in the event that the Company decides to exercise such purchase right, the purchase price for a Participant’s vested shares of Restricted Stock shall equal such Stock’s Fair Market Value on the Vesting Date,
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Management Stockholders Agreement. Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Management Stockholders Agreement, the Participant hereby agrees that he or
she shall not, without the Committee’s prior written approval, sell any vested shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement 

  
 2 

 
unless the Fair Market Value (as determined on the sale date) of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Providence Entities is greater than the original purchase price for the shares of Common
Stock owned by the Providence Entities, as adjusted for any dividends or other distributions received by the Providence Entities from the date of purchase (the “Return Requirement”); provided, however, that the Return Requirement shall not
apply in the event that the Company decides, in its sole discretion, to exercise the purchase right described in the immediately preceding sentence; and provided, further, that the Return Requirement shall not restrict the Participant from having
the Company withhold any shares of otherwise issuable vested Restricted Stock in order to satisfy the withholding obligations with respect to the Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement, as set forth in Section 6B(2) herein. If the
sale of vested shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement is to a party other than the Company, the Participant hereby agrees to provide written advance notice to the Committee, and the Committee shall have the sole and final
authority to determine whether the Return Requirement has been satisfied before any such sale is permitted. 
 5. Adjustments.
In the event of an Adjustment Event, the number of shares covered by the grant of Restricted Stock hereunder may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number), as provided in the Plan. The Participant’s Restricted Stock shall be
subject to the terms of any agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 

6. Tax Consequences. 

A. General Tax Consequences. Under Code Section 83(a), the Fair Market Value of the shares of Restricted Stock granted to
Participant, determined as of the Vesting Date, will be reportable as ordinary income at such time. 
 B. Tax Withholding. 

(1) The Participant shall pay, in cash or cash equivalents, any amount that the Company or Subsidiary may reasonably determine to be necessary
to satisfy any Federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the fully vested shares of Restricted Stock being granted under this Agreement. To satisfy its withholding obligations, the Company or any
Subsidiary shall have the power to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Participant (including salary or bonus payments) any federal, state or local taxes of any kind or any applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to the
fully vested shares of Restricted Stock being granted under this Agreement. 
 (2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the terms
of the Plan and the prior approval of the Company or the Subsidiary (which approval may 

  
 3 

 
be withheld by the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, in its sole discretion), the Participant may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the
Company or the Subsidiary to withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant or (ii) by delivering to the Company or the Subsidiary shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant. The shares of Common Stock so
delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations. The Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the Company or the
Subsidiary as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. 
 7. Restrictive Covenants and Remedies
for Breach.  
 A. Restrictive Covenants. In consideration of the receipt of the Restricted Stock granted
pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant agrees to be bound by the covenants set forth below: 
 (1) Confidentiality. The
Participant agrees that during the Participant’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, and thereafter, the Participant shall not disclose confidential or proprietary information, or trade secrets, related to any business of the
Company or its Subsidiaries including without limitation, and whether or not such information is specifically designated as confidential or proprietary; all business plans and marketing strategies; information concerning existing and prospective
markets, suppliers, and customers; financial information; information concerning the development of new products and services; and technical and non-technical data related to software programs, design, specifications, compilations, inventions,
improvements, patent applications, studies, research, methods, devices, prototypes, processes, procedures, and techniques. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, the Participant agrees that the terms of this Agreement, and of other related
agreements, shall be deemed to be confidential and proprietary information of the Company that is subject to the foregoing confidentiality provisions and shall be protected as such, although Participant may disclose this Agreement and such other
related agreements to immediate family members, and to his or her financial or legal advisors, to the minimum extent necessary. The Participant’s obligations under this Section 7A(1) are indefinite in term. 

(2) Return of Company Property. The Participant acknowledges that all tangible items containing any confidential or proprietary
information or trade secrets, including without limitation memoranda, photographs, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints, prototypes, notes, documents, drawings, specifications, software, media, and other materials, including any copies
thereof (including electronically recorded copies), are the exclusive property of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Participant shall deliver to the Company all such material in the Participant’s possession or control upon the
Company’s request and in any event upon 

  
 4 

 
the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Participant shall also return any keys, equipment, identification or credit cards, or other property
belonging to the Company or its Subsidiaries upon termination of the Participant’s employment or the Company’s request. 

(3) Non-Piracy of Restricted Customers and Restricted Prospective Customers. During Participant’s employment
with the Company or its Subsidiaries, and for 12 months immediately after Participant’s employment at the Company or its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, Participant will not, anywhere in the United States, solicit to provide, or
engage in providing, any Competitive Services or Products to any Restricted Customer or Restricted Prospective Customer. For purposes of this Section 7: (a) “Restricted Customer” means any person, agency, or entity to whom
Participant (or others under Participant’s direction and supervision), on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries, provided Competitive Products or Services or about which Participant acquired material, substantive information in the course
of Participant’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, during the 24 month period immediately preceding the date of Participant’s separation from the Company or its Subsidiaries; (b) “Restricted Prospective
Customer” means any person, agency, or entity with whom Participant (or others under Participant’s direction and supervision), on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries, was involved in making a proposal to provide products or
services during the 24 month period immediately preceding the date of Participant’s separation from the Company or its Subsidiaries; and (c) “Competitive Products or Services” means products or services of the type
provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries to any person, agency, or entity during the 24 month period immediately preceding the date of Participant’s separation from the Company or its Subsidiaries. 

(4) Non-Solicitation and Non-Hiring of Restricted Employees. Participant agrees that Participant shall not, during Participant’s
employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, and for 12 months immediately after Participant’s employment at the Company or its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit, or assist in the hiring
or solicitation of, any Restricted Employee for a position of employment outside the Company or its Subsidiaries. This restriction includes and applies to situations where another Company Employee initiates contact with Participant.
“Restricted Employee” means any person who was or is employed by the particular entity (Company or Subsidiary) in which Participant was employed at any time during the 6 month period immediately preceding the date of the
potential hiring or solicitation for hiring by the Participant. 
 B. Remedies. 

(1) Generally. The Company and the Participant agree that the provisions of this Section 7 do not impose an undue hardship on the
Participant and are 

  
 5 

 
not injurious to the public in that these restrictions do not prohibit Participant from competing generally with the Company, but merely limit competition with certain customers and prospective
customers; that these provisions are necessary to protect the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries; that the nature of the Participant’s responsibilities with the Company under this Agreement provide and/or will provide the Participant
with access to confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets that are valuable and confidential to the Company and its Subsidiaries; that the Company would not grant Restricted Stock to the Participant if the Participant did not agree to
the provisions of this Section 7; that the provisions of this Section 7 are reasonable in terms of length of time and scope; and that adequate consideration supports the provisions of this Section 7. In the event that a court
determines that any provision of this Section 7 is unreasonably broad or extensive, the Participant agrees that such court should narrow such provision to the extent necessary to make it reasonable and enforce the provisions as narrowed. The
Company reserves all rights to seek any and all remedies and damages permitted under law, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, equitable relief, and compensatory damages for any breach of the Participant’s obligations under this
Section 7. 
 (2) Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. Without limiting the generality of the remedies available to the Company
pursuant to Section 7B(1), if the Participant, except with the prior written consent of the Company, materially breaches the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7, the Participant shall: (a) forfeit any Restricted Stock
granted pursuant to this grant, regardless of the fact that such shares of Restricted Stock are fully vested as of the Vesting Date; and (b) pay to the Company in cash any net after-tax gain the Participant realized in cash in connection with
the sale of vested shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder. These rights of forfeiture and recoupment are in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against the Participant for the Participant’s breach of the restrictive
covenants contained in this Section 7. 
 (3) Cumulative Obligations. The Participant’s obligations under this
Section 7 shall be cumulative (but not duplicative, nor operate to extend the length of any such obligations) of any similar obligations the Participant has under the Plan or any other agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

  
 6 

 8. Code Section 409A. It is intended that this award comply with Code
Section 409A or an exemption to Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Company determines that the Participant would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Code
Section 409A as a result of any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the
Company. 
 9. Securities Law Matters. Except as otherwise provided in a registration rights agreement, the Participant agrees
that, in the event that the Company files a registration statement under the Act with respect to a Public Offering of any shares of its capital stock, the Participant agree that he or she will not effect any sale or distribution of any shares of the
Restricted Stock, including but not limited to, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, within seven days prior to and 180 days (or such shorter period as the managing underwriter for any underwritten offering may agree) after the effective date of
the registration statement relating to such registration (the “Trigger Date”), except as part of such registration or unless, in the case of a sale or distribution not involving a Public Offering, the transferee agrees in writing to
be subject to this Section 9; provided that with respect to any shelf registration statement on Form S-3, the Trigger Date shall be the pricing of any offering made under such registration statement and the Participant agrees to
execute a customary holdback agreement with the underwriters for any such Public Offering.

negotiations, or agreements of or between the Participant and the Company relating to Restricted Stock of the Company; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in Section 7 shall not supersede any other agreement into which
