 THIRD WAVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 
 2000 STOCK PLAN, AS AMENDED 
  

	 	1.	Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of this 2000 Stock Plan are: 

  

	 	•	 	 to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, 

  

	 	•	 	 to provide additional incentive to Employees, Directors and Consultants, and 

  

	 	•	 	 to promote the success of the Company’s business. 

 Options granted under the Plan may be Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant. Stock Purchase Rights may also be granted under the Plan.

 The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective June 2, 2006 as set forth herein to make certain changes to reflect changes in
applicable law and certain other desirable changes.

distribution under the Plan, except that if Shares of Restricted Stock are repurchased by the Company at their original purchase price, such Shares shall become available for future grant under the Plan. 
 4. Administration of the Plan. 
 (a)
Procedure. 
 (i) Multiple Administrative Bodies. Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers
may administer the Plan. 
 (ii) Section 162(m). To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify
Options granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 (iii) Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under
Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. 
 (iv) Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. 
 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated
by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion: 
 (i) to determine the Fair Market Value;

  

 -4- 

 (ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be granted hereunder;

 (iii) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option and Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder;

 (iv) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan; 
 (v) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Option or Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder. Such
terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options or Stock Purchase Rights may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture
restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or Stock Purchase Right or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

 (vi) to reduce the exercise price of any Option or Stock Purchase Right to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock covered by such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall have declined since the date the Option or Stock Purchase Right was granted; 
 (vii) to institute an Option Exchange Program; 
 (viii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted
pursuant to the Plan; 
 (ix) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations
relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws; 
 (x) to modify or
amend each Option or Stock Purchase Right (subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan;

 (xi) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to
be withheld is to be determined. All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; 
 (xii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right
previously granted by the Administrator; 
 (xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the
Plan. 
  

 -5- 

 (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions,
determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Optionees and any other holders of Options or Stock Purchase Rights. 
 5. Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. All grants made under the Plan shall be made conditional upon the
Service Provider’s acknowledgement, in writing or by acceptance of the Grant, that all decisions and determinations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on the Service Provider, his beneficiaries and any other person having or
claiming an interest under such grant. Grants need not be uniform as among the grantees. 
 6. Limitations. 
 (a) Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding
such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any
Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market
Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. 
 (b) Neither the Plan nor any
Option or Stock Purchase Right shall confer upon an Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Optionee’s right or the
Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause. 
 (c) The following limitations shall apply to
grants of Options: 
 (i) No Service Provider shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options to purchase more than
500,000 Shares. 
 (ii) In connection with his or her initial service, a Service Provider may be granted Options to purchase up to an
additional 1,000,000 Shares, which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above. 
 (iii) The foregoing
limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 13. 
 (iv) If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 13), the cancelled Option will be counted against the limits set forth in
subsections (i) and (ii) above. For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option. 
 7. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 19 of the Plan, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in
effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 15 of the Plan. 
  

 -6- 

 8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement. In the case of
an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the
Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five
(5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. 
 9. Option Exercise Price and
Consideration. 
 (a) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option
shall be determined by the Administrator and shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of Grant except that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option
is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share
on the date of grant. 
 (b) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the
period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. 
 (c) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine
the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: 
 (i) cash; 
 (ii) check; 
 (iii) other Shares which
(A) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise
price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised; 
 (iv) in cash, on the T+3 settlement date (trade date plus three days)
that occurs after the exercise date specified in the notice of exercise, provided that the Optionee exercises the Option through an irrevocable agreement with a registered broker and the payment is made in accordance with procedures permitted by
Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board and such procedures do not violate applicable laws; 
 (v) any combination of the foregoing
methods of payment; or 
 (vi) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by
Applicable Laws. 
  

 -7- 

 10. Exercise of Option. 
 (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at
such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An
Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
 An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or
electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any
consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the
name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other
rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. 
 Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. 
 (b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee’s death
or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term
of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the date of
termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time
specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 (c)
Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent
the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to
the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not 

  

 -8- 

 
exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 (d) Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is
specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s
termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or
administrator of the Optionee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 (e) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator
may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made. 
 11. Stock Purchase Rights. 
 (a)
Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer
Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically, by means of a Notice of Grant, of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the offeree shall be
entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which the offeree must accept such offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. 
 (b) Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase
option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement shall be the original price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at a rate determined by the Administrator. 
 (c) Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 
 (d) Rights as a Stockholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right
is exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a stockholder, and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. 

  

 -9- 

 
No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as
provided in Section 13 of the Plan. 
 12. Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Unless determined otherwise
by the Administrator, an Option or Stock Purchase Right may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option or Stock Purchase Right transferable, such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 13. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale. 
 (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have been returned
to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of
Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such
adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares
of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Stock Purchase Right. 
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased
upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an
Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 
 (c) Merger or Asset
Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right
substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the 

  

 -10- 

 
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise
the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or
substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of at least fifteen
(15) days from the date of such notice, which such notice shall be provided at least fifteen (15) days prior to the closing of such merger or asset sale, and the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such
period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock
subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each
Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration
received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of
the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. 
 (d) Other Definition. The Committee may modify the effect of
this Section 13 for a particular grant as the Committee deems appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws. 
 14. Date of Grant.
The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other later date as is determined by the
Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
 15.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
 (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or
terminate the Plan. 
 (b) Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent
necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. 
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Termination of
the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
  

 -11- 

 16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
 (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the exercise of such Option
or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Company may require the person exercising
such Option or Stock Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel
for the Company, such a representation is required. 
 17. 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. 
 18. Reservation of Shares.
The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
 19. Stockholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date
the Plan is adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

At-Will Employment Status; Term. Employee is currently employed by the Company. Employee is employed on an “at will” basis, which means that either the Company or Employee may terminate Employee’s employment with the Company at
any time and for any or no reason. This Agreement shall terminate upon the date that all obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement have been satisfied or, if earlier, on the date, prior to a Change in Control (as defined in the Active
Power, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)), Employee is no longer employed by the Company. 
 2. Acceleration
Upon Termination After a Change in Control. Although Employee’s employment is at-will, in the event that Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below) or resigns with Good Reason (as defined below) within twelve
months after a Change in Control, all shares of stock that are issuable upon exercise of all options granted to Employee by the Company prior to the date of the Change in Control shall fully vest as of the date of such termination, to the extent
such stock options are outstanding and unvested at the date of such termination, and all shares of stock of the Company that were purchased prior to the Change in Control and that is subject to a right of repurchase by the Company (or its successor)
shall have such right of repurchase lapse with respect to all of the shares. If Employee’s employment with the Company terminates other than as a result of a termination by the Company without Cause or resignation with Good Reason within the
twelve months following a Change of Control, then Employee shall not be entitled to receive any benefits hereunder, but may be eligible for those benefits (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and
benefits plans and policies at the time of such termination. 
 3. Conditions Precedent. Any accelerated vesting contemplated by
Section 2 above are conditional on Employee: 
 (a) continuing to comply with the terms of this Agreement and the Proprietary Information
and Nondisclosure Agreement between Employee and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”); 
 (b) delivering and not
revoking, a separation agreement including a general release of claims relating to Employee’s employment and/or this Agreement against the Company or its successor, its subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and stockholders and
affirmation of obligations hereunder and under the Confidentiality Agreement in a form acceptable to the Company or its successor; and 
 (c)
in the event of a resignation for Good Reason, providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the grounds for Good Reason and a
reasonable opportunity for the Company to cure the conditions giving rise to such Good Reason, which shall not be less 

 
than thirty (30) days following the date of notice from Employee. If the Company cures the conditions giving rise to such Good Reason within thirty
(30) days of the date of such notice, Employee will not be entitled to severance payments and/or benefits contemplated by Section 2 above if Employee thereafter resigns from the Company based on such grounds. Unless otherwise required by
law, no severance payments and/or benefits under Section 2 will be paid and/or provided until after the expiration of any relevant revocation period. 
 4. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, 
 (a) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” shall mean (i) Employee’s continued failure to substantially perform the duties and obligations of Employee’s position (for reasons other than death or Disability), which failure, if curable within the
discretion of the Company, is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Company of such failure; (ii) Employee’s failure or refusal to comply with
reasonable written policies, standards and regulations established by the Company from time to time which failure, if curable in the discretion of the Company, is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company within thirty (30) days
after receipt of written notice of such failure from the Company; (iii) any act of personal dishonesty, fraud, embezzlement, misrepresentation, or other unlawful act committed by Employee that results in a substantial gain or personal
enrichment of Employee at the expense of the Company; (iv) Employee’s violation of a federal or state law or regulation applicable to the Company’s business, which violation was or is reasonably likely to be materially injurious to
the Company; (v) Employee’s violation of, or a plea of nolo contendere or guilty to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any state; or (vi) the Employee’s material breach of the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

 (b) Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without Employee’s written
consent: (i) there is a material reduction of the level of Employee’s compensation (excluding any bonuses) (except where there is a general reduction applicable to the management team generally); (ii) there is a material reduction in
Employee’s overall responsibilities or authority, or scope of duties, it being understood that a reduction in Employee’s responsibilities or authority following a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) shall not constitute Good Reason
unless there also occurs a demotion in Employee’s title or position; or (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which Employee must perform his services; provided, that in no instance will the relocation of Employee to a
facility or a location of fifty (50) miles or less from Employee’s then current office location be deemed material for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (c) The Board shall make all determinations relating to termination, including without limitation any determination regarding Cause. 
 5. Tax Treatment. The Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to the tax consequences of the benefits to Employee under the terms of this Agreement. Employee agrees and understands that
Employee is responsible for payment of any local, state and/or federal taxes on the sums paid hereunder by the Company and any penalties or assessments thereon. Employee further agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any 

  

 -2- 

 
claims, demands, deficiencies, penalties, assessments, executions, judgments, or recoveries by any government agency against the Company for any amounts
claimed due on account of Employee’s failure to pay federal or state taxes or damages sustained by the Company by reason of any such claims, including reasonable attorney fees. 
 6. Section 409A. 
 (a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the final
regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) at the time of Employee’s termination (other than due to death), and the continuing severance pay payable to Employee, if any, pursuant to this Agreement,
when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”) will not and could
not under any circumstances, regardless of when such termination occurs, be paid in full by March 15 of the year following Employee’s termination, then only that portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits which do not exceed
the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) may be made within the first six (6) months following Employee’s termination of employment in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. For these purposes,
each severance payment is hereby designated as a separate payment and will not collectively be treated as a single payment. Any portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits in excess of the Section 409A Limit shall accrue and, to
the extent such portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits would otherwise have been payable within the first six (6) months following Employee’s termination of employment, will become payable on the first payroll date that
occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Employee’s termination. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule
applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Employee dies following Employee’s termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of Employee’s termination, then any payments delayed
in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Employee’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment
schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. 
 (b) The foregoing provision is intended to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and
Employee agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual
payment to Employee under Section 409A. 
 (c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean the
lesser of two (2) times: (A) Employee’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Employee during the Company’s taxable year preceding the Company’s taxable year of 

  

 -3- 

 
Employee’s termination of employment as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued
with respect thereto; or (B) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Employee’s employment is terminated. 
 7. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Employee
(i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Employee’s
benefits under this Agreement shall be either 
 (a) delivered in full, or 
 (b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, 
 whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt
by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. 
 Unless the Company and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company’s
independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the
Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Employee shall
furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated by this Section. 
 8. Confidential Information. Employee shall continue to comply with the terms and
conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, and maintain the confidentiality of all of the Company’s confidential and proprietary information. Such information includes, but is not limited to, all customer lists, equipment, records, data,
notes, reports, proposals, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, or other documents or property belonging to the Company. 
 9. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from all benefits payable
under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

 (b) Entire Agreement; Binding Effect. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement set forth
the entire understanding between the Parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements, commitments, representations, writings and discussions between them; and neither of the Parties shall be bound by any
obligations, conditions, warranties or representations with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein or therein or as duly set forth on or subsequent to the date hereof in a written instrument signed by
the proper and fully authorized representative of the party to be bound hereby. This Agreement is binding on Employee and on the Company and his/her and its successors and assigns (whether by assignment, by operation of law or otherwise).

 (c) Arbitration. The Parties agree that, unless otherwise agreed to in a writing signed by the Employee and the Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Company, any and all disputes arising out of, or relating to, the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, shall be subject to binding arbitration in Travis County, Texas before
the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to
enforce the arbitration award. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be awarded its reasonable attorney fees and costs. The Parties hereby agree to waive their right to have any dispute between them resolved in a
court of law by a judge or jury. This section will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of their dispute relating to
Employee’s obligations under this Agreement and the agreements incorporated herein by reference. 
 (d) Governing Law;
Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the employment laws of Texas and the other laws of the State of Texas as they apply to contracts entered into and wholly to be performed therein by
residents thereof. In addition, each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement may be brought only in a state or federal court within Texas. 
 (e) Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable
of void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision. 
 (f) Effect of Headings. The Section and
subsection headings contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 (g) Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one instrument.
