This Severance and Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 4, 2014
(“Effective Date”), by and between VAALCO Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) and Robert L. Gerry III (“Executive”). The Company and Executive may be individually referred to herein as
“Party” and collectively as “Parties”. 
 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, Executive is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Chairman”) and previously served in various
employment capacities for the Company, including as its Chief Executive Officer; and 
 WHEREAS, Executive and Company are parties to
the agreements listed in Exhibit A; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive agree that Executive will retire from his
employment with the Company and as Chairman effective as of June 4, 2014 (the “Retirement Date”) and be paid the Severance Payments provided for herein, subject to the terms and conditions hereafter set forth; and 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to avail itself of the experience, sources of information, advice and assistance which Executive possesses
and, in turn, to give Executive certain duties as a non-employee consultant to the Company and as “Chairman Emeritus” to its Board of Directors (the “Board”), as described in this Agreement; and 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to secure the services of Executive, as a non-employee consultant to the Company, subject to
the terms and conditions hereafter set forth; and 
 WHEREAS, Executive is willing to enter into this Agreement subject to the terms
and conditions hereafter set forth; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and obligations contained
herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
 Article I. 

Retirement and Release of Claims 

1.1 Definitions and Interpretation. Various terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 5.1, and
interpretative matters are described in Section 5.2. 
 1.2 Retirement from the Company. Executive shall
voluntarily retire from all positions as a director, officer and employee of the Company and its Affiliates, including his position as Chairman, effective as of the Retirement Date. 

 1.3 Release of Claims. As a condition to the receipt of the Severance Payments and
Consultant Compensation described in Section 2.7 and Section 2.7, the Executive must first execute and return to the Company a release agreement (the “Release”) that is substantially in the same form as
attached hereto as Exhibit B (together with any changes to such form as the Company may reasonably require, in its discretion, to reflect any changes in applicable law or any agreement by the Company not to require a release with respect to
one or more particular claims or potential claims) following the Retirement Date. The Company will deliver the Release to Executive within five (5) days before the Retirement Date. The Executive must return the executed Release to the Company
within the applicable time period specified in the Release. No Severance Payments or Consultant Compensation shall be payable by the Company unless and until the Release has been executed by the Executive, has not been revoked by Executive, and is
no longer subject to revocation by Executive. 
 The Release shall not release any claim or cause of action by or on behalf of the Executive
for (a) any payment or other benefit that is required under this Agreement or any Plan or Agreement noted on Exhibit A prior to the receipt of such benefit by or on behalf of the Executive or any other vested benefit to which Executive
is entitled, (b) a breach of this Agreement by the Company or (c) any claim or cause of action arising out of the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Executive in his capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any
Affiliate as provided in the Company’s by-laws, any agreement to which the Executive is a party or beneficiary, at law, or otherwise. 

1.4 Post-Termination Restrictive Covenants. As an inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, Executive represents
to, and covenants with or in favor of, the Company, his compliance with (a) Section 2.12 of this Agreement (b) any written Company policies that apply to, or cover, Executive, including, without limitation, those regarding
non-disparagement, return of Company property, and confidentiality, and (c) the Company’s written policies covering the Executive as an employee, officer or director of the Company or any Affiliate. 

Article II. 

CONSULTING SERVICES AND SEVERANCE PAYMENTS 

2.1 Post-Employment Consulting Services. Subject to satisfaction of the requirements in Section 1.3 regarding the
Release, during the Consulting Term described in Section 2.3, the Company shall retain Executive as a consultant to the Company in the capacity as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Company, and Executive agrees to
serve as a non-employee consultant to the Company for the purpose of advising and assisting the Company and the Board pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

If and when requested by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”) or the Board (by resolution of the Board)
during the Consulting Term, Executive agrees to (a) advise and assist with respect to any aspect of the Company’s operations; and (b) provide other advice to the Company or its Affiliate, or directly to the Board, and offer assistance
on other matters as reasonably requested from time to time, including, without limitation, attending meetings at such times as mutually agreed upon (everything in clauses (a) and (b) being collectively the “Consultant
Services”). Executive shall not perform any Consultant Services without obtaining advance approval from the CEO or any member of the Board, or their delegates.  

  
 2

to, and shall not limit in any way, the rights of Executive to any other indemnification from the Company or an Affiliate, as a matter of law, contract or otherwise. The Company agrees that if Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a consultant to the Company or any Affiliate under this

(1) The Company and its Affiliates will be entitled to participate therein at their own expense.

Company or any Affiliate will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, which in the Company’s or Affiliate’s discretion may be regular counsel to the Company or an Affiliate or may be counsel to officers and directors of the Company or
an Affiliate. Executive also shall have the right to employ his own counsel in such Proceeding if he reasonably concludes that failure to do so would involve a conflict of interest between the Company and Executive and, in such circumstances, the

exclusive of any other right that Executive may have or hereafter may acquire under any law or governing document of the Company or any Affiliate, agreement or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement shall alter or limit the Company’s obligation
to indemnify the Executive in his capacity as a director, officer, or employee of the Company or any Affiliate as provided in the Company’s by-laws, any agreement to which the Executive is a party or beneficiary, at law, or otherwise.
Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall alter or limit any coverage of Executive under the Company’s applicable directors and officers insurance.

over competitors who do not know or use such Confidential Information. 

  

	 	(b)	 Executive acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information about the Company that was previously provided in the course of employment with
the Company, and Confidential Information that will be provided during the Consulting Term, is and will continue to be, the

	 	(d)	Following the expiration of Consulting Term for whatever reason, Executive agrees that: (1) he will not take with him, copy, alter, destroy, or delete any files, documents or other materials whether or not
embodying or recording any Confidential Information, including copies, without obtaining the advance written consent of an authorized Company representative; and (b) he will promptly return to the Company all Confidential Information,
documents, files, and records (written or electronically stored) that are in his possession or under his control, and he will not use or disclose such materials in any way or in any format including, without limitation, written information in any
form, information stored by electronic means, and all copies of materials containing any Confidential Information, without the written consent of the Company.

any purpose, any Confidential Information, except as the Company the Company directs and authorizes, or as subject to compulsion of law. Executive shall take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use
of any Confidential Information. This confidentiality covenant shall be in addition to, and not limit or restrict in any way, any other confidentiality or post-employment agreement or covenant between the Executive and the Company or any of its
Affiliates. 

 2.11 Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees not to,
directly or indirectly, disclose, communicate, or publish any disparaging, negative, intentionally harmful, or disapproving information, written communications, oral communications, electronic or magnetic communications, writings, oral or written
statements, comments, opinions, facts, or remarks, of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Disparaging Information”), concerning or related to the Company or any of its Affiliates, or its and their directors,
officers, employees and partners (individually and collectively, the “Covered Persons”). Executive understands and  

  
 9 

 
acknowledges that this non-disparagement clause prevents him from disclosing, communicating, or publishing, directly or indirectly, any Disparaging Information concerning or related to the
Covered Persons including, without limitation, information regarding the Covered Persons’ businesses, customers or clients, proprietary or technical information, documents, operations, inventions, trade secrets, product ideas, technical

salaries, employee benefits, techniques, technology, formulas, software, improvements, internal or external audits, internal controls, or any financial, marketing or accounting information of any nature whatsoever. Further, Executive acknowledges
that in executing this Agreement, he has knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived any free speech, free association, free press or First Amendment to the United States Constitution (including, without limitation, any counterpart or similar
provision or right under the Texas Constitution or any other state constitution which may be deemed to apply) rights to disclose, communicate, or publish Disparaging Information concerning or related to the Covered Persons. 

Executive also confirms and agrees that he has had a reasonable period of time to consider these non-disparagement covenants, to review such
covenants with his attorney, and to consent to such covenants knowingly and voluntarily. Executive further acknowledges that Section 2.11 is a material term of this Agreement. If Executive breaches any provision of
Section 2.11, the Company will not be limited to a damages remedy, but may seek all other equitable and legal relief including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, temporary injunctive relief, a permanent injunction, and
its attorneys’ fees and costs, against Executive and any other Person acting by, through, under, or in concert with him. Nothing in this Agreement shall, however, be deemed to prevent Executive from testifying fully and truthfully in response

indirectly, either individually or as a principal, owner, agent, consultant, contractor, employee, or a director of any Person, or in any other manner or capacity whatsoever, except on behalf of the Company or an Affiliate, solicit business, or

owners, or any other Person with whom the Company or Affiliate did business, or had a business relationship with as of, or within the one year period preceding the Retirement Date. 

2.13 Return of Company Property/Documents When Term Expires. Following the termination of the Consulting Term for any reason,
Executive agrees that: (i) he will not take with him, copy, alter, destroy, or delete any files, documents or other materials whether or not embodying or recording any Confidential Information, including copies, without obtaining

Consulting Term and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, Executive acknowledges and agrees that he owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty, fidelity, and allegiance to use his best efforts to act at all times in the best interests of the Company

3.2 Choice of Forum. Jurisdiction and venue of any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any dispute
hereunder shall be exclusively in the federal or state courts of competent jurisdiction in Harris County, Texas, and the Parties hereby waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue, or to the effect that it is inconvenient. 

3.3 Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that (a) the covenants, obligations and agreements of
the Executive in this Agreement concern special, unique and extraordinary matters and (b) a violation of any of these covenants, obligations or agreements could cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies at law are not
available. Therefore, the Executive agrees that Company alone will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order, or all other equitable relief (with any bond requirement not to exceed $20,000.00) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem
necessary or appropriate to restrain the Executive from committing any violation of the covenants, obligations or agreements of Executive in this Agreement. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies
that the Company may have against the Executive. Company and the Executive irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts under Section 3.2 regarding the injunctive remedies set forth in this Section 3.3, and
each Party waives all objections and defenses based on service of process, forum, venue, or personal or subject matter jurisdiction, as these defenses may relate to an application for injunctive relief in a suit or proceeding under this
Section 3.3.

other governmental authority not otherwise bound to follow such conclusions pursuant to applicable law. 
 4.5 No Third Party

the Party against whom or which enforcement of the waiver is sought. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, a Party’s failure to insist upon the other Party’s strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or
to assert any right that a Party may have under this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of that provision or that right. Any written waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or 

  
 13 

 
condition waived under the specific circumstances, and shall not constitute a waiver of that term or condition for the future or a waiver of any other term or condition. No amendment, termination

conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Company represents to Executive that it believes that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or comply with, Code
Section 409A and, absent any relevant guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service following the Effective Date, shall report (to the extent legally required) all such payments and benefits accordingly.

of the Parties hereunder shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

and any amendments thereto will be in writing and may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile with the same effect as if both Parties had signed the same document. Each counterpart will be deemed an original, and all counterparts shall be
construed together to constitute one, and the same, document.

TO 
 SEVERANCE AND
CONSULTING AGREEMENT 
 RELEASE AGREEMENT 

In consideration of the Consultant Compensation set forth in that certain Severance and Consulting Agreement (the “S&C
Agreement”) dated as of June 4, 2014, and as it may be amended thereafter, by and between VAALCO Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) and Robert L. Gerry III (“Executive”), this Release Agreement (the
“Agreement”) is made and entered into by the Company and the Executive (each a “Party” and together, the “Parties”).  

By signing this Agreement, Executive and the Company hereby agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the orderly termination of the employment relationship between the Parties, and to voluntarily resolve any actual or potential disputes or claims that
Executive has, had or may ever have, as of the date of Executive’s execution of this Agreement, against the Company and all of its parents, predecessors, successors, Affiliates (as defined in the S&C Agreement), divisions, related companies
and organizations, and its and their present and former agents, employees, managers, officers, directors, attorneys, stockholders, plan fiduciaries, assigns, agents, representatives, and all other Persons (as defined in the S&C Agreement) acting
by, through or in concert with any of them (collectively, the “Released Parties”). Neither the fact that this Agreement has been proposed or executed, nor the terms of this Agreement, are intended to suggest, or should be construed
as suggesting, that the Released Parties have acted unlawfully or violated any federal, state or local law or regulation, or any other duty, policy or contract involving Executive. 

 

	2.	Termination of Employment. Effective June 4, 2014 (the “Retirement Date”), Executive’s employment with the Company and all of its Affiliates has voluntarily terminated.

  

	3.	Termination Benefits. In consideration for Executive’s execution of, and required performance under, this Agreement, the Company shall provide Executive with the Severance Payment and Consulting Compensation
(as defined in the S&C Agreement, which definition and other terms in the S&C Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference). Executive confirms and agrees that he would not otherwise have received, or been entitled to receive, the
Severance Payment or Consulting Compensation if he did not enter into this Agreement. 

  

	4.	 Waiver of Additional Compensation or Benefits. The Severance Payment and Consulting Compensation to be paid to Executive, the Premium Payments,
and the Extended Option Term (subject to the terms of the applicable plans and stock option 

	 	
award agreements) constitute the entire amount of compensation and consideration due to Executive under the S&C Agreement and this Agreement, and Executive acknowledges that he has no right
to seek, and will not seek, any additional or different compensation or consideration for executing or performing under the S&C Agreement or this Agreement. 

  

	5.	Executive Representations. Executive expressly acknowledges and represents, and intends for the Company to rely upon his representations, that he: 

 

	 	(a)	Has not filed any complaints, claims or actions against the Company or any of the other Released Parties with any court, agency, or commission regarding the matters encompassed by this Agreement and, by executing this
Agreement, Executive hereby waives the right to recover monetary damages in any proceeding that (1) Executive may bring before the EEOC or any state or local human rights commission or (2) may be brought by the EEOC or any state or local
human rights commission by or on Executive’s behalf. 

  

	 	(b)	Understands that he is, by entering into this Agreement, releasing the Released Parties, including the Company, from any and all claims he has, had or may ever have against them under federal, state or local laws, which
have arisen on or before the execution date of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	Understands that he is, by entering into this Agreement, waiving all claims that he has, had or may ever have against the Released Parties under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended,
which have arisen on or before the execution date of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	Agrees that this Agreement shall be binding on him and his heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors, and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, administrators, representatives,
executors, successors and assigns. 

  

	 	(e)	Has reviewed all aspects of this Agreement, and has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions and effects of this Agreement. 

 

	 	(f)	Has been, and is hereby, advised in writing to consult with an attorney of his own choice before signing this Agreement. 

  

	 	(g)	Is knowingly and voluntarily entering into this Agreement, and has relied solely and completely upon his own judgment and, if applicable, the advice of his own attorney in entering into this Agreement.

  

	 	(h)	Is not relying upon any representations, promises, predictions, projections or statements made by or on behalf of the Company or any of the other Released Parties, other than those that are specifically stated in this
Agreement. 

  

	 	(i)	Does not waive rights or claims that may arise after the date this Agreement is signed below. 

	6.	Release. Executive, on behalf of himself and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, irrevocably and unconditionally releases, waives and forever discharges the Released Parties from and
against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, charges, complaints, liabilities, obligations, promises, sums of money, agreements, representations, controversies, disputes, damages, suits, right, sanctions, costs (including
attorneys’ fees), losses, debts and expenses of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which Executive has, had or may ever have against the Released Parties arising out of, concerning, or related to, his
employment or separation from employment with the Company and its Affiliates, from the beginning of time and up to and including the date Executive executes this Agreement below. This Agreement includes, without limitation, (a) law or equity
claims; (b) contract (express or implied) or tort claims; (c) claims arising under any federal, state or local laws of any jurisdiction that prohibit age, sex, race, national origin, color, disability, religion, veteran, military status,

with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and/or 1871, 42 U.S.C. Section 1981, the
Rehabilitation Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Employee Polygraph Protection Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the Uniformed

Reconciliation Act of 1985, and any other federal, state or local laws of any jurisdiction); (d) claims under any other federal, state, local, municipal or common law whistleblower protection, discrimination, wrongful discharge, anti-harassment
or anti-retaliation statute or ordinance; (e) claims arising under ERISA; or (f) any other statutory or common law claims related to Executive’s employment or separation from employment with the Company and its Affiliates. Executive
further represents that, as of the date of his execution of this Agreement, he has not been the victim of any illegal or wrongful acts by any of the Released Parties, including, without limitation, discrimination, retaliation, harassment or any
other wrongful act based on sex, age, race, religion, or any other legally protected characteristic. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement specifically does not release any claim or cause of action by or on behalf of
Executive (or his Beneficiary) (i) for any payment or other benefit that is required under the terms of either the S&C Agreement or pursuant to any Plan (as defined in the S&C Agreement) prior to the receipt thereof by or on behalf of
Executive or (ii) arising out of the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Executive in his capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Affiliate thereof, or as a former director, officer or employee of the Company or
any Affiliate as provided in the Company’s by-laws, any agreement to which the Executive is a party or beneficiary, at law, or otherwise. 

	7.	Twenty-One Calendar Days to Consider Offer of Termination Benefits. Executive shall have, and by signing this Agreement Executive acknowledges and represents that he has been given, a period of twenty-one
(21) calendar days to consider whether to elect to sign this Agreement, and to thereby waive and release the rights and claims addressed in this Agreement. Although Executive may sign this Agreement prior to the end of the twenty-one
(21) calendar day period, Executive may not sign this Agreement on or before the Retirement Date. In addition, if Executive signs this Agreement prior to the end of the twenty-one (21) calendar day period, Executive shall be deemed, by
doing so, to have certified and agreed that the decision to make such election prior to the expiration of the twenty-one (21) calendar day period is knowing and voluntary and was not induced by the Company through: (a) fraud,
misrepresentation or a threat to withdraw or alter the offer prior to the end of the twenty-one (21) calendar day period; or (b) an offer to provide different terms or benefits in exchange for signing the Agreement prior to the expiration
of the twenty-one (21) calendar day period. 

  

	8.	Seven Day Revocation Period. Executive understands and acknowledges that he may revoke this Agreement at any time within seven (7) calendar days after he signs this Agreement. To revoke this Agreement,
Executive must deliver written notification of such revocation to the attention of Steven Guidry, Chief Executive Officer, within seven (7) calendar days after the date that he signs this Agreement. Executive further understands that if he does
not revoke this Agreement within seven (7) calendar days following his execution of the Agreement (excluding the date of execution), the Agreement will become effective, binding and enforceable on both Parties. 

 

	9.	Agreement not to Sue. Except as set forth in Section 6(i) and (ii) of this Agreement or required by law that cannot be waived, Executive agrees that he will not commence, maintain, initiate, or
prosecute, or cause, encourage, assist, volunteer, advise or cooperate with any other Person (as defined in the S&C Agreement) to commence, maintain, initiate or prosecute, any action, lawsuit, proceeding, charge, petition, complaint or claim
before any court, agency or tribunal against the Company or any Affiliate arising from, concerned with, or otherwise relating to, in whole or in part, Executive’s employment or separation from employment with the Company, or any of the matters
discharged and released in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or any other provision of this Agreement or the S&C Agreement, this release and the S&C Agreement are not intended to interfere with Executive’s right to
file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) or a state or local human rights commission in connection with any claim that Executive believes he may have against the Company or its Affiliates, or to
cooperate or provide truthful testimony to the EEOC or a state or local human rights commission with respect to any investigation. However, by executing this Agreement, Executive hereby waives the right to recover monetary damages in any proceeding
he may bring before the EEOC or any state or local human rights commission or in any proceeding brought by the EEOC or any state or local human rights commission (or any other agency) on Executive’s behalf. 

	10.	Confidentiality of Agreement. Executive agrees to keep this Agreement and its terms confidential. Executive agrees and understands that he is prohibited from disclosing any terms of this Agreement to anyone,
except that he may disclose the terms of this Agreement to his attorney, his spouse, his financial advisor or as otherwise required by compulsion of law. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it is prohibited from disclosing any terms of this
Agreement to any third parties, except that the Company may disclose the terms of this Agreement to its attorneys, accountants, and other Persons (as defined in the S&C Agreement) with a need to know, or as otherwise required by compulsion of
law. 

  

	11.	Agreement to Return Company Property/Documents at end of Consulting Term. Following the termination of the Consulting Term for any reason, Executive agrees that: (i) he will not take with him, copy, alter,
destroy or delete any files, documents or other materials whether or not embodying or recording any Confidential Information (as defined in the S&C Agreement), including copies, without obtaining in advance the written consent of an authorized
Company representative; and (ii) he will promptly return to the Company all Confidential Information, documents, and files, (written or electronically stored) that are in Executive’s possession or under his control. Executive further
agrees to immediately return to the Company all Company equipment or other property of the Company or any Affiliate that is in his possession or under his control upon termination of the Consulting Term for whatever reason. 

 

	12.	Waiver. A Party’s waiver of any breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to be, a waiver of any later breach of the same or other provision by such Party.

  

	13.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the S&C Agreement set forth the entire agreement between the Parties and fully supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral,
between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and the S&C Agreement. 

  

	14.	Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions of this Agreement shall
otherwise remain in full force and effect and shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision has not been included herein. 

  

	15.	Miscellaneous. The Parties understand and agree that if a violation of any term of this Agreement is asserted, the Party who asserts such violation shall have the right to seek specific performance of that term
and/or any other necessary and proper relief as permitted by law or equity, including but not limited to, damages awarded by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and
attorneys’ fees. 

 Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to prevent Executive from challenging the validity of
this Agreement under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act or Older Workers Benefit Protection Act. Executive further understands and agrees that if he, or someone acting on his behalf, files, or causes to be filed, any such claim, charge,
complaint or action against the Company, an Affiliate or any other Released Party, Executive hereby expressly fully waives and relinquishes any right to recover any damages or other relief, whatsoever, from the Company, its Affiliates and/or other
Persons, including costs and attorneys’ fees. 
  

	16.	Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Jurisdiction and venue of any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or any dispute hereunder, shall be exclusively in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in Harris County, Texas, and the Parties hereby waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue
including, without limitation, to the effect that it is inconvenient. 

  

	17.	Counterparts. The Parties agree that this Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed one and the same instrument.
