 Section 3. Term of Employment. 

(a) The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Term of Employment”) shall commence on the
Effective Date and expire on the third anniversary thereof or such later date as agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Section 3(b), below, unless terminated prior thereto in accordance herewith. This Agreement shall not be automatically
renewable and, unless mutually extended by the Parties by an agreement in writing, shall terminate upon the expiration of the Term of Employment; provided, however, that (i) simultaneously with the expiration of the Term of Employment and
termination of this Agreement, Executive’s employment shall continue on an “at will” basis unless or until such “at will” employment is terminated by the Company or Executive by notice in writing, (ii) during the term
of such “at will” employment, if there is a termination by Executive with Good Reason (as defined below) (and solely for purposes of determining whether there is a Good Reason termination under this clause (ii) of this
Section 3(a) and for purposes of calculating the benefits to Executive of a termination by Executive for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (as defined below), the provisions of Sections 4, 5 and 6 shall be deemed to be in full force
and effect during such term) or if there is a termination by the Company without Cause, in either such case, whether such termination for Good Reason or without Cause occurs prior to or following a Change in Control (as defined below), Executive
shall be entitled to and his sole remedies for such termination (subject to the immediately following clause (iii)) shall be as set forth in Section 8(c) (which Section 8(c) shall continue in full force and effect during the “at
will” employment period), and not as set forth in Section 8(e), and (iii) as provided in Section 24, (x) the provisions of Sections 1 and 2, this second sentence of this Section 3(a), Sections 8(g), (h), (i),
(j) and (m), and Sections 9 through 30 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and (y) the termination of this Agreement shall not affect any
rights or obligations of the Parties accrued under this Agreement prior to or in connection with such termination and, with respect to such surviving provisions and those that survive under Section 3(a), thereafter. 

(b) Absent extenuating circumstances, the Parties envision that they will negotiate an amendment to this Agreement prior to the end of
each calendar year extending the Term of Employment for an additional year; it being understood and agreed, however, that neither Party shall have a legal obligation to actually enter into any such amendment. Accordingly, beginning in October, 2010
and continuing each subsequent October during the Term of Employment, the Parties shall meet to discuss Executive’s performance during the year and the possibility of extending the Term of Employment for an additional year, and may also discuss
additional proposed modifications of the other terms of this Agreement, with a view toward concluding such discussions, and, assuming they actually come to agreement, entering into an amendment to this Agreement prior to the end of the calendar
year. In connection with all such discussions, it is understood and agreed (i) that neither Party shall have any legal obligation to actually enter into any such amendment, (ii) that no such amendment shall exist unless and until approved
by the Committee (as defined below) and/or the Board (as defined below) and the requirements of Section 22 are satisfied with respect thereto, and (iii) that the Company may, in its discretion and without any liability or obligation of any
kind, elect to handle negotiations with Executive differently than it handles similar negotiations with other senior officer-level employees of the Company.

sixty percent (60%) of the target value of any such annual long-term incentive award shall be subject to performance-based (as opposed to tenure-based) vesting conditions, as established by the Board and/or the Committee. 

 

 6 

 Section 6. Employee Incentive Compensation and Benefit Programs. While Executive
remains employed by the Company, Executive shall be entitled to participate, consistent with his rank and position (to the extent applicable), in addition to the annual incentive plans referenced in Section 5, in such other compensation,
pension and welfare benefit plans and programs of the Company as are made available to the Company’s senior-level officers or to its employees generally, as such plans or programs may be in effect from time to time, including, without

plans and programs in its sole discretion. In no case shall Executive be awarded any options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price less than 100% of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” shall

his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, and the Company shall promptly reimburse him for all such business expenses incurred in connection therewith, subject to documentation in accordance with the Company’s business expense
reimbursement policies. All such reimbursements will be made in any event no later than the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The expenses reimbursed by the Company during any
taxable year of Executive will not affect the expenses reimbursed by the Company in another taxable year. Further, this right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

Section 8. Termination of Employment. 

(a) Termination Due to Death or Disability. In the event Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated due to his
death or Disability (as defined below), Executive, his estate or his beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to, and his or their sole remedies under this Agreement shall be:

following Executive’s termination of employment as a result of death or Disability; 
 (ii) the balance of
any incentive awards earned as of December 31 of the prior year (but not yet paid), which shall be paid in a single lump sum not later than 15 days following Executive’s termination of employment as a result of death or Disability;

disability plan or policy maintained (or, if applicable, most recently maintained) by the Company or, if applicable, a Subsidiary (as defined below) or affiliate of the Company for Executive, whether or not Executive actually receives disability
benefits under the plan or policy. If no long-term disability plan or policy was ever maintained on behalf of Executive, “Disability” means “Permanent and Total Disability” as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code. In a
dispute, the determination whether Executive has suffered a Disability will be made by the Committee and may be supported by the advice of a physician competent in the area to which that Disability relates.

the financial condition or reputation of the Company; or 
 (D) Executive engages in an act or series of acts
constituting misconduct resulting in a misstatement of the Company’s financial statements due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement within the meaning of Section 304 of The Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

 For purposes of this Agreement, an act or failure to act on Executive’s part shall be considered
“willful” if it was done or omitted to be done by him intentionally and not in good faith, and shall not include any act or failure to act resulting from any incapacity of Executive. 

 

 8 

 (ii) A termination for Cause shall not take effect until a determination by
the Board that, in its judgment, grounds for termination of Executive for Cause exist. 
 (iii) In the event the
Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, he shall be entitled to: 
 (A) Base Salary through the
date of the termination of his employment for Cause, which shall be paid in a single lump sum at the time set out in Section 8(j) and (m) if such provisions are applicable with respect to such payment, or, if such provisions are not
applicable, not later than 15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; 
 (B) any incentive
awards earned as of December 31 of the prior year (but not yet paid) and not subject to Section 409A of the Code, which shall be paid in a single lump sum not later than 15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; and

Change in Control (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled to: 
 (i) Base Salary through the date of
termination of Executive’s employment, which shall be paid in a single lump sum at the time set out in Section 8(j) and (m) if such provisions are applicable with respect to such payment, or, if such provisions are not applicable, not
later than 15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; 
 (ii) an amount equal to the sum of
(A) the Base Salary, at the annualized rate in effect on the date of termination of Executive’s employment (or in the event a reduction in Base Salary is a basis for a termination with Good Reason, then the Base Salary in effect
immediately prior to such reduction), and (B) Executive’s prior year cash bonus, which amount shall be payable in substantially equal monthly installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices for a period of 12 months
beginning with the calendar month that immediately follows the Earliest Payment Date (the “Severance Period”) unless otherwise required to be paid in accordance with Section 8(j); 

(iii) the balance of any incentive awards earned as of December 31 of the prior year (but not yet paid) and not

premiums paid by similarly situated active employees during the applicable time period allowed for continuation of coverage under COBRA (the “COBRA Period”) until the earlier of the expiration of the Severance Period or the date on
which Executive receives substantially comparable coverage and benefits under the group health plans of a subsequent employer (the “Continued Participation Period”); provided, however, if the COBRA Period terminates prior to the
expiration of the Continued Participation Period, during the remainder of the Continued Participation Period Executive and such dependants will not be entitled to continued participation in the group health plans, and the Company will pay directly
to Executive, on a monthly basis during the remainder of the Continued Participation Period, an amount equal to the amount previously expended monthly by the Company as of the end of the COBRA Period for Executive’s and such dependants’
continued participation in the group health plans, and 
 (v) other or additional benefits then due or earned in
accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company.

termination):

proportionate reduction in the base salaries of all similarly situated senior officer-level employees;

relocation of the corporate offices of the Company outside a 50-mile radius of Baton Rouge, Louisiana; 
 (C) a
material diminution of Executive’s authority, responsibilities or duties;

Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the 12-month period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved
but excluding for this purpose any such new director whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange

owning directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company (a “Significant Subsidiary”) with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of
the Company or a Significant Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity) more than 50% of the combined
voting power of the surviving or resulting entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or 

(D) the consummation of a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company (other

“Person” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including “group” as defined in Section 14(d) thereof. 

(d) Voluntary Termination. In the event of a termination of employment by Executive on his own initiative, other than a
termination due to death, a termination with Good Reason or a Retirement pursuant to Section 8(f) below, Executive shall have the same entitlements as provided in Section 8(b)(iii) above for a termination for Cause. 

(e) Termination by the Company Without Cause or Termination by Executive With Good Reason Following a Change in Control. If
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause (which termination shall be effective as of the date specified by the Company in a written notice to Executive), other than due to death or Disability, or in the
event Executive terminates his employment with Good Reason (as defined above), in either case within one year following a Change in Control (as defined above), Executive shall be entitled to: 

(i) Base Salary through the date of termination of Executive’s employment, which shall be paid in a single lump sum
at the time set out in Section 8(j) and (m) if such provisions are applicable with respect to such payment, or, if such provisions are not applicable, not later than 15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; 

(ii) an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the sum of (A) the Base Salary, at the annualized rate in
effect on the date of termination of Executive’s employment (or in the event a reduction in Base Salary is a basis for a termination with Good Reason, then the Base Salary in effect immediately prior to such reduction), and
(B) Executive’s prior year cash bonus, which amount shall be payable in lump sum on the Earliest Payment Date, unless otherwise required to be paid in accordance with Section 8(j); 

(iii) the balance of any incentive awards earned as of December 31 of the prior year (but not yet paid) and not
subject to Section 409A of the Code, which shall be paid in a single lump sum not later than 15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; 
  

 12 

 (iv) continued participation in the Company’s group health plans for
Executive and his dependants who are qualified beneficiaries for purposes of continuation coverage under COBRA at the same benefit levels at which he and such dependants were participating on the date of the termination of his employment at the same
premiums paid by similarly situated active employees during the applicable time period allowed for continuation of coverage under COBRA (the “COBRA Period”) until the earlier of the expiration of the Severance Period or the date on
which Executive receives substantially comparable coverage and benefits under the group health plans of a subsequent employer (the “Continued Participation Period”); provided, however, if the COBRA Period terminates prior to the
expiration of the Continued Participation Period, during the remainder of the Continued Participation Period Executive and such dependants will not be entitled to continued participation in the group health plans, and the Company will pay directly
to Executive, on a monthly basis during the remainder of the Continued Participation Period, an amount equal to the amount previously expended monthly by the Company as of the end of the COBRA Period for Executive’s and such dependants’
continued participation in the group health plans, and 
 (v) other or additional benefits then due or earned in
accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company 
 Further, upon a Change of Control, all unvested equity awards
held by Executive as of the date of the Change of Control shall vest (performance-based awards shall vest at the “target” level), and Executive shall be entitled to the benefit of all such awards immediately. 

(f) Retirement. Upon Executive’s Retirement (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled to: 

(i) Base Salary through the date of termination of Executive’s employment, which shall be paid in a single lump sum
at the time set out in Section 8(j) and (m) if such provisions are applicable with respect to such payment, or, if such provisions are not applicable, not later than 15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; 

(ii) the balance of any incentive awards earned as of December 31 of the prior year (but not yet paid) and not
subject to Section 409A of the Code, which shall be paid in a single lump sum not later than 15 days following Executive’s termination of employment; 

(iii) the immediate vesting of all unvested equity awards held by Executive as of the date of Retirement, other than
awards which are intended to constitute performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and for which performance standards have not been met; and 

(iv) all other or additional benefits then due or earned in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the Company.

  

 13 

 For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean Executive’s
voluntary retirement from employment with the Company: (i) after the age of 55, provided that Executive has been employed by the Company continuously for at least ten years as of the date of retirement, (ii) after the age of 60, provided
that Executive has been employed by the Company continuously for at least five years as of the date of retirement or (iii) as approved by the Board in its sole discretion. 

(g) No Mitigation; No Offset. In the event of any termination of employment, Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other
employment; amounts due Executive under this Agreement shall not be offset by any remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that he may obtain. 

(h) Nature of Payments. Any amounts due under this Section 8 are in the nature of severance payments considered to be
reasonable by the Company and are not in the nature of a penalty. 
 (i) No Further Liability; Release. In the event of
Executive’s termination of employment, payment made and performance by the Company in accordance with this Section 8 shall, subject to Section 24 hereof, operate to fully discharge and release the Company and its directors, officers,
employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, successors, assigns, agents and representatives from any further obligation or liability with respect to Executive’s rights under this Agreement. Other than payment and performance under this
Section 8, and other than the rights of Executive that survive the termination of this Agreement, as provided in Section 24 hereof, the Company and its directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, successors,
assigns, agents and representatives shall have no further obligation or liability to Executive or any other person under this Agreement in the event of Executive’s termination of employment. The Company conditions the payment of any severance
or other amounts pursuant to this Section 8 upon (A) the delivery by Executive to the Company of a release in a form satisfactory to the Company, substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment 1, within such time following
his termination of employment as will permit the release to become irrevocable on or before the Earliest Payment Date and (B) such release actually becoming irrevocable by the Earliest Payment Date. 

(j) Section 409A Specified Employee. If Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of
the Code, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, any payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 8 which are deferred compensation and subject to Section 409A of the Code (and do not qualify for an
exemption thereunder) shall not commence until one day after the day which is six (6) months from the date of termination (determined under Section 8(m)). Should this Section 8(j) result in a delay of payments to Executive, on the
first day any such payments may be made without incurring a penalty pursuant to Section 409A (the “409A Payment Date”), the Company shall begin to make such payments as described in this Section 8, provided that any
amounts that would have been payable earlier but for application of this Section 8(j) shall be paid in lump-sum on the 409A Payment Date. 
  

 14 

 (k) Termination Without Cause Within 90 Days Prior to A Change in Control. Anything
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause within 90 days prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, such termination shall be deemed to have occurred
after a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (l) Financial Security For Payments Following a Change in
Control. Following a Change in Control, at the request of Executive, the Company or its successor shall provide financial security reasonably acceptable to Executive for its obligations to make payments required by this Agreement. 

(m) Separation from Service. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no payment shall be made under this
Section 8 unless the termination of employment or Retirement that gives rise to the payment also constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder, and
solely for purposes of making the payments called for under this Section 8, the first date as of which Executive has a separation from service shall be treated as the date his employment terminates. 

Section 9. Forfeiture Provisions. 

(a) Forfeiture of Stock Options and Other Awards and Gains Realized Upon Prior Option Exercises or Award Settlements and
Severance Payments. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, (i) Executive’s violation of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 10 as they relate only to trade secrets, at any time while employed by the Company or
thereafter, (ii) Executive’s violation of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 10 as they relate to all Confidential Information other than trade secrets, at any time while employed by the Company and for a period of 60
months thereafter or (iii) Executive’s violation of any of the restrictive covenants contained in Sections 11, 12 or 13 (each a “Forfeiture Event”) will result in:  

(i) The unexercised portion of any stock option, whether or not vested, and any other Award (as defined below) not then
settled (except for an Award that has not been settled solely due to an elective deferral by Executive and otherwise is not forfeitable in the event of any termination of Executive’s service) will be immediately forfeited and canceled upon the
occurrence of the Forfeiture Event; 
 (ii) Executive will be obligated to repay to the Company, in cash, within
five business days after demand is made therefor by the Company, the total amount of Award Gain (as defined herein) realized by Executive upon each exercise of a stock option or settlement of an Award (regardless of any elective deferral) that
occurred (A) during the period commencing with the date that is 6 months prior to the occurrence of the Forfeiture Event and the date 12 months after the Forfeiture Date, if the Forfeiture Event occurred while Executive was employed by the
Company or a Subsidiary or affiliate, or (B) during the period commencing 6 months prior to the date Executive’s employment by the Company terminated and ending 12 months after the date of such termination, if the Forfeiture Event occurred
after Executive ceased to be so employed. For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Award Gain” shall mean (i), in respect of a given stock option exercise, the product of (X) the Fair Market Value per share of common
stock at the date of such exercise (without regard to any subsequent change in the market price of shares) minus the exercise price times (Y) the number of shares as to which the stock option was exercised at that date, and (ii), in respect of
any other settlement of an Award granted to Executive, the Fair Market Value of the cash or stock paid or payable to Executive (regardless of any elective deferral) less any cash or the Fair Market Value of any stock or property (other than an Award
or award which would have itself then been forfeitable hereunder and excluding any payment of tax withholding) paid by Executive to the Company as a condition of or in connection such settlement; and 

 

 15 

 (iii) Executive will be obligated to repay to the Company, in cash, within
five business days after demand is made therefor by the Company, the total amount of any payments made by the Company to Executive or on Executive’s behalf under Sections 8(c)(ii), 8(c)(iv), 8(e)(ii), and 8(e)(iv). 

For purposes of this Section 9, “Award” shall mean any cash award, stock option, stock appreciation right,
restricted stock, deferred stock, bonus stock, dividend equivalent, or other stock-based or performance-based award or similar award, together with any related right or interest, granted to or held by Executive. 

(b) Committee Discretion. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part the Company’s right to forfeiture
under this Section 9, but no such waiver shall be effective unless evidenced by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. In addition, the Committee may impose additional conditions on Awards, by inclusion of appropriate
provisions in the document evidencing or governing any such Award. 
 Section 10. Confidentiality; Cooperation with
Regard to Litigation; Non-Disparagement; Return of Company Materials. 
 (a) During the Term of Employment and thereafter,
Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, disclose to anyone (except in good faith in the ordinary course of business to a person who will be advised by Executive to keep such information confidential) or make use of any
Confidential Information (as defined below), except in the performance of his duties hereunder or when required to do so by legal process, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or by any
administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) that requires him to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. In the event that Executive is so ordered, he shall give prompt written notice to the Company in order to
allow the Company the opportunity to object to or otherwise resist such order. 
 (b) During the Term of Employment and
thereafter, Executive shall not disclose the existence or contents of this Agreement beyond what is disclosed in the proxy statement or documents filed with the government unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law, by a
governmental agency, or in a document required by law to be filed with a governmental agency or in connection with enforcement of his rights under this Agreement. This restriction shall not apply to such disclosure by him to members of his immediate
family, his tax, legal or financial advisors, any lender, or tax authorities, or to potential future employers to the extent necessary, each of whom shall be advised not to disclose such information. 

 

 16 

 (c) “Confidential Information” shall mean all information regarding the
Company, its activities, business or customers that is the subject of reasonable efforts by the Company to maintain its confidentiality, including (i) information concerning the business of the Company or any Subsidiary including information
relating to any of their products, product development, trade secrets, customers, suppliers, finances, and business plans and strategies, and (ii) information regarding the organization structure and the names, titles, status, compensation,
benefits and other proprietary employment-related aspects of the employees of the Company and the Company’s employment practices. Excluded from the definition of Confidential Information is information (A) that is or becomes part of the
public domain, other than through the breach of this Agreement by Executive or (B) regarding the Company’s business or industry properly acquired by Executive in the course of his career as an executive in the Company’s industry and
independent of Executive’s employment by the Company. For this purpose, information known or available generally within the trade or industry of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be known or available to the public. 

(d) “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation controlled directly or indirectly by the Company. 

(e) Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s
termination of employment for any reason), by making himself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an
action, suit, or proceeding in which Executive makes claims against the Company or in which the Company makes claims against him, and to assist the Company, or any Subsidiary, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing information and
meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, or any Subsidiary as requested; provided, however that the same does not materially interfere with his then current professional
activities; and provided, further, that nothing contained in this Section 10(e) is intended to prevent Executive from exercising his constitutional right to avoid self-incrimination. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive, on an after-tax
basis, for all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and expenses) actually incurred in connection with his provision of testimony or assistance. 

(f) Executive agrees that, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment
for any reason) he will not make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage the Company or any Subsidiary or
their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations. The Company agrees that, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) the Company
will not make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may directly or indirectly, disparage Executive or his business or reputation. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10(f) shall preclude either Executive or the Company from making truthful statements or disclosures that are required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process or otherwise pursuing, in good faith,
enforcement of their respective rights under this Agreement. 
  

 17 

 (g) Executive recognizes that all Confidential Information and copies or reproductions
thereof, relating to the Company’s operations and activities made or received by Executive in the course of his Employment are the exclusive property of the Company. Upon any termination of employment, Executive agrees to deliver any Company
property and any documents, notes, drawings, specifications, computer software, data and other materials of any nature pertaining to any Confidential Information that are held by Executive and will not take any of the foregoing, or any reproduction
of any of the foregoing, that is embodied in any tangible medium of expression, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Executive from retaining his personal phone directories and rolodexes. 

Section 11. Non-competition/Prior Employment Covenants. 

(a) During Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly
or indirectly, whether individually or as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity with any
corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity, carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another to carry on or engage in, any other business, work or activity similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its affiliates.
During the Restriction Period (as defined below), Executive shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether individually or as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner,
shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity with any corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity, (i) carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another
to carry on or engage in, any other business, work or activity similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its affiliates in the geographical areas listed on Attachment 2 (the “Restricted Areas”) in which the
Company or its affiliates are then engaged in business, and (ii) soliciting customers of the Company or its affiliates in the Restricted Area. The Parties acknowledge that home health care and hospice are similar “businesses” for the
purposes of this Section 11 and that the work and activity of the Company includes filing applications with Federal and state regulatory authorities in connection with establishing “start-up” home health care and hospice agencies. The
Parties further acknowledge that the Company is expanding and in order to prevent ongoing, repetitious amendments to this Agreement solely for the purpose of updating the Restricted Areas, the Parties agree that the Restricted Areas, inclusive of
Attachment 2, shall be self-amending to include all parishes, counties and States in which the Company conducts business or actively solicits business at any time during Executive’s employment with the Company and in no event shall such
Restricted Areas be less than that contained in Attachment 2. The Parties intend and agree that Executive’s continued employment thereafter shall serve as the Parties’ constructive acceptance of an amendment to enlarge the
Restricted Areas. 
  

 18 

 (b) For the purposes of this Section 11, “Restriction Period” shall
mean the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending with: 
 (i) in the case of a termination of
Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or a termination by Executive with Good Reason, pursuant to Section 8(c)(whether during or after the Term of Employment), the Restriction Period shall terminate 12 months from the date of
such termination; 
 (ii) in the case of a termination of Executive’s employment for Cause pursuant to
Section 8(b) or in the case of a voluntary termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(d) above (whether during or after the Term of Employment), 12 months from the date of such termination; 

(iii) in the case of a Retirement pursuant to Section 8(f) above or a termination due to Disability pursuant to
Section 8(a), 12 months from the date of Retirement or the date of the termination due to Disability; 

(iv) in the case of any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(e) above, 12 months from the
date of such termination. 
 (c) Executive represents and warrants to the Company that performance of Executive’s duties
pursuant to this Agreement will not violate any agreements with or trade secrets of any other person or entity or previous employers, including without limitation agreements containing provisions against solicitation or competition. 

Section 12. Non-solicitation of Employees and Customers. During the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending 12
months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall not induce: (i) employees of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their employment (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be
construed to prevent Executive from engaging in general non-targeted advertising for employees generally), or (ii) customers of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their relationship with the Company, within the Restricted Areas. During
such period, Executive shall not hire, either directly or through any employee, agent or representative, any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or any person who was employed by the Company or any Subsidiary within 180 days of such hiring.

 Section 13. Standstill. Executive agrees that for a period of 12 months from the date of Executive’s
termination of employment for any reason, neither Executive nor any of his affiliates or persons or entities acting at his direction or with his assistance will, unless specifically invited in writing by the Board, acting by resolution approved by a
majority of all members of the Board, directly or indirectly, in any manner (the obligations pursuant to this Section 13 being referred to as, the “Standstill”): 

(a) acquire, offer or propose to acquire, solicit an offer to sell or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with
others, by purchase, tender offer, exchange offer, through the acquisition or control of another person or entity, or otherwise, any direct or indirect beneficial interest in any voting securities or direct or indirect rights, warrants or options to
acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, any voting securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, other than the acquisition in the aggregate of less than one-half of one percent of the outstanding voting securities of the
Company; 
  

 19 

 (b) make, or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with
others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act) of proxies or consents to vote, whether subject to or exempt from
the proxy rules, or seek to advise, encourage or influence in any manner whatsoever any person or entity with respect to the voting of any voting securities of the Company or any Subsidiary; 

(c) initiate, propose or “solicit” (as such term is used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission)
stockholders of the Company or any Subsidiary for the approval of stockholder proposals whether made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 or Rule 14a-4 under the Exchange Act, or otherwise, or cause or encourage or attempt to cause or encourage others to initiate
any such stockholder proposal; or otherwise communicate with the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ stockholders or others in connection with the solicitation of proxies or consents or matters presented to the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ stockholders; 
 (d) form, join or any way participate in a “group” within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to any voting securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries;

 (f) arrange, or in any way
participate, directly or indirectly, in any financing for the purchase of any voting securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any voting securities or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; 

(g) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to propose to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
stockholders or make any public statement with respect to any merger, business combination, consolidation, sale, tender offer, exchange offer, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, recapitalization or other transaction involving
the Company or any Subsidiary; 
 (h) seek, alone or in concert with others, to control, change or influence the management, the
Board or policies of the Company or any Subsidiary, or otherwise seek, alone or in concert with others, election or appointment to or representation on, or to nominate or propose the nomination of any candidate to, the Board or the removal of any
member of the Board, or propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company or any Subsidiary; 
  

 20 

 (i) make any publicly disclosed proposal, public statement, public inquiry or public
disclosure of any intention, plan, or arrangement (whether written or oral) inconsistent with the foregoing, or make or disclose any request or proposal to amend, waive or terminate any provision of this Standstill or seek permission to or make any
public announcement with respect to any provision of the Standstill; or 
 (j) announce an intention to do, or to enter into any
arrangement or understanding with others (whether written or oral) to do, or to finance, intentionally advise, enable, assist or encourage others to do any of the actions restricted or prohibited under clauses (a) through (j) of this
Standstill, or take any action that might result in the Company having to make a public announcement regarding any of the matters referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of this Standstill, or otherwise intentionally take, or solicit, or
cause or encourage others to take, any action inconsistent with the foregoing. 
 Section 14. Remedies. In addition
to whatever other rights and remedies the Company may have at equity or in law (including without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages), if Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13, the Company
(a) shall have its rights under Section 9 of this Agreement, (b) shall, notwithstanding Section 15, have the right to immediately terminate all payments and benefits due under this Agreement (other than payments under
Section 16 of this Agreement, to the extent that Executive’s right to indemnification was not triggered by Executive’s breach of this Agreement) and (c) shall, notwithstanding Section 15 of this Agreement, have the right to
seek injunctive or other equitable relief, including but not limited to, the right to seek a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction, without the requirement to prove actual damages or to post any bond or other
security. Executive hereby waves the requirement of posting bond or other security and acknowledges that such a breach of Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13 would cause irreparable injury and that money damages alone would not provide an adequate remedy for
the Company; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prevent Executive from contesting the issuance of any such injunction on the ground that no violation or threatened violation of Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13 has occurred. 

Section 15. Resolution of Disputes. In the event that a Party to this Agreement has any claim, right or cause of action
against another Party to this Agreement, which the Parties are unable to settle by agreement between themselves, such claim, right or cause of action, to the extent that the relief sought by such Party is for monetary damages or awards, will be
determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15. Except as provided in this Section 15, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”). The arbitration and all arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential. 
 (a) The Party claiming a
cause of action or breach of this Agreement shall first provide the other Party with written notice of the breach. If the breach is not remedied within 15 days of said notice, the Party claiming the breach may request arbitration by serving upon the
other a demand therefor, in writing, specifying the matter to be submitted to arbitration, and nominating a competent disinterested person to act as an arbitrator. Within 15 days after receipt of such written demand and nomination, the other Party
will, in writing, nominate a competent disinterested person, and the two arbitrators so designated will, within 15 days thereafter, select a third arbitrator. The three arbitrators will give immediate written notice of such selection to the Parties
and will fix in said notice a time and place of the meeting of the arbitrators which will be in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where all proceedings will be conducted, and will be held as soon as conveniently possible (but in no event later than 45 days
after the appointment of the third arbitrator), at which time and place the Parties to the controversy will appear and be heard with respect to the right, claim or cause of action. In case the notified Party or Parties will fail to make a selection
upon notice within the time period specified, the Party asserting such claim will appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the notified Party. In the event that the first two arbitrators selected will fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within 15 days
after their selection, then such arbitrator may, upon application made by either of the Parties to the controversy, be appointed by the AAA. 
  

 21 

 (b) Each Party will present such testimony, examinations and investigations in accordance
with such procedures and regulations as may be determined by the arbitrators and will also recommend to the arbitrators a monetary award to be adopted by the arbitrators as the complete disposition of such claim, right or cause of action. After
hearing the Parties in regard to the matter in dispute, the arbitrators will make their determination with respect to such claim, right or cause of action, within 30 days of the completion of the examination, by majority decision signed in writing
(together with a brief written statement of the reasons for adopting such recommendation), and will deliver such written determination to each of the Parties. The decision of said arbitrators, absent fraud, duress or manifest error, will be final
and binding upon the Parties to such controversy and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators may consult with and engage disinterested third parties to advise the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall not award any
punitive damages. If any of the arbitrators selected hereunder should die, resign or be unable to perform his or her duties hereunder, the remaining arbitrators or the AAA shall select a replacement arbitrator. The procedure set forth in this
Section for selecting the arbitrators shall be followed from time to time as necessary. As to any claim, controversy, dispute or disagreement that under the terms hereof is made subject to arbitration, no lawsuit based on such matters shall be
instituted by any of the Parties, other than to compel arbitration proceedings or enforce the award of a majority of the arbitrators. All privileges under Louisiana and federal law, including attorney-client and work-product privileges, shall be
preserved and protected to the same extent that such privileges would be protected in a federal court proceeding applying Louisiana law. 

(c) The Company shall be responsible for advancing the cost of the arbitrators as well as the other costs of the arbitration. Each Party
will pay the fees and expenses of its own counsel, except that with respect to those claims for which Executive is ultimately the prevailing party, the Company shall reimburse all of Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses
incurred in connection with asserting or defending against claims as to which Executive prevails within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written demand accompanied by reasonable documentation in support thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such reimbursements will be made in no event later than the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; the expenses reimbursed by the Company during any taxable year of Executive will not
affect the expenses reimbursed by the Company in another taxable year; and this right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

 

 22 

 (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 15, in the event that a Party
against whom any claim, right or cause of action is asserted commences, or has commenced against it, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, the Party or Parties asserting such claim, right or cause of action will have no obligations under
this Section 15 and may assert such claim, right or cause of action in the manner and forum it deems appropriate, subject to applicable laws. No determination or decision by the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 15 will limit or
restrict the ability of any Party hereto to obtain or seek in any appropriate forum, any relief or remedy that is not a monetary award or money damages. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 15, if the Company is seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a
dispute arising under or in connection with Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13, the arbitration requirements of this Section 15 shall not apply. 

(f) Any court proceedings relating to this Agreement shall be filed exclusively in the federal and state courts domiciled in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, and the Parties hereto consent to the venue and jurisdiction of such courts. 
 Section 16. Indemnification.

 (a) Company Indemnity. 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 he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or is or was
serving at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans,
whether the basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action or failure to act in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, Executive shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or resolutions of the Company’s Board or, if greater, by the laws of the State of
Delaware (or, with respect to Holding, the laws of the State of Louisiana), against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to
be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith, provided Executive provides Company with prompt notice of such action or threatened action (but failure to provide prompt notice shall not prejudice
Executive except to the extent it actually prejudices the Company). Such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, officer, employee or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the
benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses to be incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a written
request for such advance. Such request shall include an undertaking by Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses. The provisions of
this Section 16(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Executive may be entitled or which may be granted to him, and it shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification to which he may be entitled
under any policy of insurance. 
  

 23 

 (b) No Presumption Regarding Standard of Conduct. Neither the failure of the Company
(including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding concerning payment of amounts claimed by Executive under Section 16(a) above that indemnification of
Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall
create a presumption that Executive has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 Section 17. Potential Reduction
in Payments 
 (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment, distribution, or other
benefit provided by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”), (x) constitute a
“parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (y) but for this Section 17 would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor provision thereto
(the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be either: 
 (i) delivered in full pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, or 
 (ii) delivered to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of the payments
being subject to the Excise Tax as determined in accordance with Section 17(b). 
 (b) The determination of whether
Section 17(a)(i) or Section 17(a)(ii) shall be given effect shall be made by the Company on the basis of which of such clauses results in the receipt by the Executive of the greater Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined below) of the aggregate
Payments; provided, however, that if the Net After-Tax Receipt of the aggregate Payments under Section 17(a)(i) does not exceed the Net After-Tax Receipt of the aggregate Payments under Section 17(a)(ii) by Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) or greater, Section 17(a)(ii) automatically shall be given effect. The term “Net After-Tax Receipt” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code) of the payments net of
all applicable federal, state and local income, employment, and other applicable taxes and the Excise Tax. 
 (c) If
Section 17(a)(ii) is given effect, the reduction shall be accomplished first by reducing cash Payments under Section 8(e)(ii) of this Agreement and then by forfeiting any equity-based awards that vest and become payable under
Section 8(e)(iv) of this Agreement, starting with the most recent equity-based awards that vest pursuant to such section, to the extent necessary to accomplish such reduction. 

 

 24 

 (d) Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required
under this Section 17 shall be made by the Company’s independent accountants or compensation consultants (the “Third Party”), after due consideration of Executive’s comments with respect to the interpretation and
application thereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Third Party such information and documents as the Third Party may reasonably request in
order to make a determination under this Section 17. The Company shall bear all fees and costs of the Third Party with respect to all determinations under or contemplated by this Section 17. 

Section 18. Effect of Agreement on Other Benefits. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the existence of this
Agreement shall not be interpreted to preclude, prohibit or restrict Executive’s participation in any other employee benefit or other plans or programs in which he currently participates. 

Section 19. Assignability: Binding Nature; Solidary Obligations. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs (in the case of Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company except that such rights or
obligations may be assigned or transferred in connection with a Change of Control of the Company, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and such assignee or transferee
assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. The Company further agrees that, in the event of a Change of Control, it shall take whatever action it
legally can in order to cause such assignee or transferee to expressly assume the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company hereunder. No rights or obligations of Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Executive
other than his rights to compensation and benefits, which may be transferred only by will or operation of law, except as provided in Section 25 below. Company and Holding are each solidarily liable with the other of them for such other’s
obligations under this Agreement. 
 Section 20. Representation. Each of the Company and Holding represents and
warrants that it is fully authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement and that the performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not violate any agreement between it and any other person, firm or organization. Executive hereby
represents to the Company that he is physically and mentally capable of performing his duties hereunder and he has no knowledge of any present or past physical or mental conditions which would cause him not to be able to perform his duties
hereunder. 
 Section 21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between
the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and, as of the Effective Date, supersedes the Original Agreement any other agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, between the Parties with
respect thereto, including, without limitation any prior change in control agreement between the Parties. 
  

 25 

 Section 22. Amendment or Waiver. No provision in this Agreement may be amended
unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. Except as set forth herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party shall impair any such
right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of or an acquiescence to any breach hereof. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such
other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Executive or an authorized officer of the Company, as the case may be.

 Section 23. Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Specifically, but without
limitation, the parties agree that if any court of competent jurisdiction or any arbitral panel finds that any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses, sections, subdivisions, or subparagraphs contained in Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13 is
overly broad or unenforceable, then the Agreement should be reduced or amended to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowable under applicable law. 

Section 24. Survival. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the respective rights and obligations of the Parties under this
Agreement shall terminate, except that (a) the provisions of Sections 1 and 2, the second sentence of Section 3(a), Sections 8(g), (h), (i), (j) and (m), and Sections 9 through 30 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and (b) the termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations of the Parties accrued under the express terms of this Agreement prior to or
in connection with such termination and, with respect to such surviving provisions and those that survive under Section 3(a), thereafter. 

Section 25. Beneficiaries/References. Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, to
select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial
determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative. 

Section 26. Governing Law/Exclusive Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of Louisiana without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Subject to Section 15 and in accordance with Section 14, the Company and Executive hereby consent and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any
or all of the following courts for purposes of resolving any dispute under this Agreement: (i) the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana or (ii) the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East
Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana. The Parties agree that to the extent permitted, any lawsuit involving a dispute under this Agreement shall be filed and may proceed only in these referenced courts. The Company and Executive hereby waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objection which it or he may now or hereafter have to these referenced courts. The Company and Executive further agree that any service of process or notice
requirements in any such proceeding shall be satisfied if the rules of such court relating thereto have been substantially satisfied.

 Section 3. Term of Employment. 

(a) The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Term of Employment”) shall commence on the
Effective Date and expire on the third anniversary thereof or such later date as agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Section 3(b), below, unless terminated prior thereto in accordance herewith. This Agreement shall not be automatically
renewable and, unless mutually extended by the Parties by an agreement in writing, shall terminate upon the expiration of the Term of Employment; provided, however, that (i) simultaneously with the expiration of the Term of Employment and
termination of this Agreement, Executive’s employment shall continue on an “at will” basis unless or until such “at will” employment is terminated by the Company or Executive by notice in writing, (ii) during the term
of such “at will” employment, if there is a termination by Executive with Good Reason (as defined below) (and solely for purposes of determining whether there is a Good Reason termination under this clause (ii) of this
Section 3(a) and for purposes of calculating the benefits to Executive of a termination by Executive for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause (as defined below), the provisions of Sections 4, 5 and 6 shall be deemed to be in full force
and effect during such term) or if there is a termination by the Company without Cause, in either such case, whether such termination for Good Reason or without Cause occurs prior to or following a Change in Control (as defined below), Executive
shall be entitled to and his sole remedies for such termination (subject to the immediately following clause (iii)) shall be as set forth in Section 8(c) (which Section 8(c) shall continue in full force and effect during the “at
will” employment period), and not as set forth in Section 8(e), and (iii) as provided in Section 24, (x) the provisions of Sections 1 and 2, this second sentence of this Section 3(a), Sections 8(g), (h), (i),
(j) and (m), and Sections 9 through 30 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and (y) the termination of this Agreement shall not affect any
rights or obligations of the Parties accrued under this Agreement prior to or in connection with such termination and, with respect to such surviving provisions and those that survive under Section 3(a), thereafter. 

(b) Absent extenuating circumstances, the Parties envision that they will negotiate an amendment to this Agreement prior to the end of
each calendar year extending the Term of Employment for an additional year; it being understood and agreed, however, that neither Party shall have a legal obligation to actually enter into any such amendment. Accordingly, beginning in October, 2010
and continuing each subsequent October during the Term of Employment, the Parties shall meet to discuss Executive’s performance during the year and the possibility of extending the Term of Employment for an additional year, and may also discuss
additional proposed modifications of the other terms of this Agreement, with a view toward concluding such discussions, and, assuming they actually come to agreement, entering into an amendment to this Agreement prior to the end of the calendar
year. In connection with all such discussions, it is understood and agreed (i) that neither Party shall have any legal obligation to actually enter into any such amendment, (ii) that no such amendment shall exist unless and until approved
by the Committee (as defined below) and/or the Board (as defined below) and the requirements of Section 22 are satisfied with respect thereto, and (iii) that the Company may, in its discretion and without any liability or obligation of any
kind, elect to handle negotiations with Executive differently than it handles similar negotiations with other senior executives of the Company.

 Section 4. Title, Position, Duties and Responsibilities. 

(a) Generally. Executive shall serve as General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Executive shall have and perform such
duties, responsibilities and authorities as are customary for general counsels and corporate secretaries of publicly-held corporations of similar size and businesses as the Company, as they may exist from time to time and as are consistent with such
positions and status, and such reasonable additional duties as may be prescribed from time to time by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Executive’s responsibilities shall include, but shall not be limited to, oversight of the
Company’s adherence to internal compliance and governmental and regulatory rules, regulations and applicable Federal and state laws, and the making of regular reports to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and
committees thereof regarding same; providing legal advice to the Company concerning transactions and the Company’s dealings with employees, vendors, landlords, franchisees, joint venture partners, governmental agencies and other third parties;
and retention and supervision of all outside counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that Executive’s responsibilities shall not include oversight of the Company’s compliance with
laws relating exclusively to the health care services industry (including, without limitation, laws relating to Medicare or Medicaid, the Stark laws and other similar anti-fraud or anti-kickback laws, the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act, and any other Federal and state laws which apply only to the health care services industry) and the Company’s compliance with any corporate integrity agreements (or similar agreements that may be entered into by it in the
future), since that responsibility rests with the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer. Executive shall devote all of his business time and attention (except for periods of vacation or absence due to illness and other activities permitted
pursuant to Section 4(b)) and his best efforts, abilities, experience and talent to the position of General Counsel and Secretary for the Company’s businesses. 

(b) Other Activities. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from
(i) serving on the boards of directors of a reasonable number of other corporations after prior consultation with and approval of the Board or the boards of a reasonable number of trade associations and/or charitable organizations,
(ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, and (iii) managing his personal investments and affairs, provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the proper performance of his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement. 
  

 5 

 (c) Place of Employment. Executive’s principal place of employment shall be the

property and any documents, notes, drawings, specifications, computer software, data and other materials of any nature pertaining to any Confidential Information that are held by Executive and will not take any of the foregoing, or any reproduction
of any of the foregoing, that is embodied in any tangible medium of expression, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Executive from retaining his personal phone directories and rolodexes. 

Section 11. Non-competition/Prior Employment Covenants. 

(a) During Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly
or indirectly, whether individually or as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity with any
corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity, carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another to carry on or engage in, any other business, work or activity similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its affiliates.
During the Restriction Period (as defined below), Executive shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether individually or as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner,
shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity with any corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity, (i) carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another
to carry on or engage in, any other business, work or activity similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its affiliates in the geographical areas listed on Attachment 2 (the “Restricted Areas”) in which the
Company or its affiliates are then engaged in business (provided, however, that this restriction shall not prevent Executive from serving as outside legal counsel to any person or entity engaged in any business, work or activity similar to
any business, work or activity of the Company at any time and in any geographical location) and (ii) soliciting customers of the Company or its affiliates in the Restricted Area. The Parties acknowledge that home health care and hospice are
similar “businesses” for the purposes of this Section 11 and that the work and activity of the Company includes filing applications with Federal and state regulatory authorities in connection with establishing “start-up”
home health care and hospice agencies. The Parties further acknowledge that the Company is expanding and in order to prevent ongoing, repetitious amendments to this Agreement solely for the purpose of updating the Restricted Areas, the Parties agree
that the Restricted Areas, inclusive of Attachment 2, shall be self-amending to include all parishes, counties and States in which the Company conducts business or actively solicits business at any time during Executive’s employment with
the Company and in no event shall such Restricted Areas be less than that contained in Attachment 2. The Parties intend and agree that Executive’s continued employment thereafter shall serve as the Parties’ constructive acceptance
of an amendment to enlarge the Restricted Areas. 
  

 18 

 (b) For the purposes of this Section 11, “Restriction Period” shall
mean the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending with: 
 (i) in the case of a termination of
Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or a termination by Executive with Good Reason, pursuant to Section 8(c)(whether during or after the Term of Employment), the Restriction Period shall terminate 12 months from the date of
such termination; 
 (ii) in the case of a termination of Executive’s employment for Cause pursuant to
Section 8(b) or in the case of a voluntary termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(d) above (whether during or after the Term of Employment), 12 months from the date of such termination; 

(iii) in the case of a Retirement pursuant to Section 8(f) above or a termination due to Disability pursuant to
Section 8(a), 12 months from the date of Retirement or the date of the termination due to Disability; 

(iv) in the case of any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(e) above, 12 months from the
date of such termination. 
 (c) Executive represents and warrants to the Company that performance of Executive’s duties
pursuant to this Agreement will not violate any agreements with or trade secrets of any other person or entity or previous employers, including without limitation agreements containing provisions against solicitation or competition. 

Section 12. Non-solicitation of Employees and Customers. During the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending 12
months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall not induce: (i) employees of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their employment (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be
construed to prevent Executive from engaging in general non-targeted advertising for employees generally), or (ii) customers of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their relationship with the Company, within the Restricted Areas. During
such period, Executive shall not hire, either directly or through any employee, agent or representative, any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or any person who was employed by the Company or any Subsidiary within 180 days of such hiring.

 Section 13. Standstill. Executive agrees that for a period of 12 months from the date of Executive’s
termination of employment for any reason, neither Executive nor any of his affiliates or persons or entities acting at his direction or with his assistance will, unless specifically invited in writing by the Board, acting by resolution approved by a
majority of all members of the Board, directly or indirectly, in any manner (the obligations pursuant to this Section 13 being referred to as, the “Standstill”): 

(a) acquire, offer or propose to acquire, solicit an offer to sell or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with
others, by purchase, tender offer, exchange offer, through the acquisition or control of another person or entity, or otherwise, any direct or indirect beneficial interest in any voting securities or direct or indirect rights, warrants or options to
acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, any voting securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, other than the acquisition in the aggregate of less than one-half of one percent of the outstanding voting securities of the
Company; 
  

 19 

 (b) make, or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with
others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act) of proxies or consents to vote, whether subject to or exempt from
the proxy rules, or seek to advise, encourage or influence in any manner whatsoever any person or entity with respect to the voting of any voting securities of the Company or any Subsidiary; 

(c) initiate, propose or “solicit” (as such term is used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission)
stockholders of the Company or any Subsidiary for the approval of stockholder proposals whether made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 or Rule 14a-4 under the Exchange Act, or otherwise, or cause or encourage or attempt to cause or encourage others to initiate
any such stockholder proposal; or otherwise communicate with the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ stockholders or others in connection with the solicitation of proxies or consents or matters presented to the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ stockholders; 
 (d) form, join or any way participate in a “group” within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to any voting securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries; 
 (e)
acquire, offer to acquire or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with others, by purchase, exchange or otherwise, (i) any of the assets, tangible and intangible, of the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) direct or
indirect rights, warrants or options to acquire any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; 
 (f) arrange, or in any way
participate, directly or indirectly, in any financing for the purchase of any voting securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any voting securities or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; 

(g) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to propose to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
stockholders or make any public statement with respect to any merger, business combination, consolidation, sale, tender offer, exchange offer, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, recapitalization or other transaction involving
the Company or any Subsidiary; 
 (h) seek, alone or in concert with others, to control, change or influence the management, the
Board or policies of the Company or any Subsidiary, or otherwise seek, alone or in concert with others, election or appointment to or representation on, or to nominate or propose the nomination of any candidate to, the Board or the removal of any
member of the Board, or propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company or any Subsidiary; 
  

 20 

 (i) make any publicly disclosed proposal, public statement, public inquiry or public
disclosure of any intention, plan, or arrangement (whether written or oral) inconsistent with the foregoing, or make or disclose any request or proposal to amend, waive or terminate any provision of this Standstill or seek permission to or make any
public announcement with respect to any provision of the Standstill; or 
 (j) announce an intention to do, or to enter into any
arrangement or understanding with others (whether written or oral) to do, or to finance, intentionally advise, enable, assist or encourage others to do any of the actions restricted or prohibited under clauses (a) through (j) of this
Standstill, or take any action that might result in the Company having to make a public announcement regarding any of the matters referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of this Standstill, or otherwise intentionally take, or solicit, or
cause or encourage others to take, any action inconsistent with the foregoing. 
 Section 14. Remedies. In addition
to whatever other rights and remedies the Company may have at equity or in law (including without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages), if Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13, the Company
(a) shall have its rights under Section 9 of this Agreement, (b) shall, notwithstanding Section 15, have the right to immediately terminate all payments and benefits due under this Agreement (other than payments under
Section 16 of this Agreement, to the extent that Executive’s right to indemnification was not triggered by Executive’s breach of this Agreement) and (c) shall, notwithstanding Section 15 of this Agreement, have the right to
seek injunctive or other equitable relief, including but not limited to, the right to seek a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction, without the requirement to prove actual damages or to post any bond or other
security. Executive hereby waves the requirement of posting bond or other security and acknowledges that such a breach of Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13 would cause irreparable injury and that money damages alone would not provide an adequate remedy for
the Company; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prevent Executive from contesting the issuance of any such injunction on the ground that no violation or threatened violation of Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13 has occurred. 

Section 15. Resolution of Disputes. In the event that a Party to this Agreement has any claim, right or cause of action
against another Party to this Agreement, which the Parties are unable to settle by agreement between themselves, such claim, right or cause of action, to the extent that the relief sought by such Party is for monetary damages or awards, will be
determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15. Except as provided in this Section 15, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”). The arbitration and all arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential. 
 (a) The Party claiming a
cause of action or breach of this Agreement shall first provide the other Party with written notice of the breach. If the breach is not remedied within 15 days of said notice, the Party claiming the breach may request arbitration by serving upon the
other a demand therefor, in writing, specifying the matter to be submitted to arbitration, and nominating a competent disinterested person to act as an arbitrator. Within 15 days after receipt of such written demand and nomination, the other Party
will, in writing, nominate a competent disinterested person, and the two arbitrators so designated will, within 15 days thereafter, select a third arbitrator. The three arbitrators will give immediate written notice of such selection to the Parties
and will fix in said notice a time and place of the meeting of the arbitrators which will be in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where all proceedings will be conducted, and will be held as soon as conveniently possible (but in no event later than 45 days
after the appointment of the third arbitrator), at which time and place the Parties to the controversy will appear and be heard with respect to the right, claim or cause of action. In case the notified Party or Parties will fail to make a selection
upon notice within the time period specified, the Party asserting such claim will appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the notified Party. In the event that the first two arbitrators selected will fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within 15 days
after their selection, then such arbitrator may, upon application made by either of the Parties to the controversy, be appointed by the AAA. 
  

 21 

 (b) Each Party will present such testimony, examinations and investigations in accordance
with such procedures and regulations as may be determined by the arbitrators and will also recommend to the arbitrators a monetary award to be adopted by the arbitrators as the complete disposition of such claim, right or cause of action. After
hearing the Parties in regard to the matter in dispute, the arbitrators will make their determination with respect to such claim, right or cause of action, within 30 days of the completion of the examination, by majority decision signed in writing
(together with a brief written statement of the reasons for adopting such recommendation), and will deliver such written determination to each of the Parties. The decision of said arbitrators, absent fraud, duress or manifest error, will be final
and binding upon the Parties to such controversy and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators may consult with and engage disinterested third parties to advise the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall not award any
punitive damages. If any of the arbitrators selected hereunder should die, resign or be unable to perform his or her duties hereunder, the remaining arbitrators or the AAA shall select a replacement arbitrator. The procedure set forth in this
Section for selecting the arbitrators shall be followed from time to time as necessary. As to any claim, controversy, dispute or disagreement that under the terms hereof is made subject to arbitration, no lawsuit based on such matters shall be
instituted by any of the Parties, other than to compel arbitration proceedings or enforce the award of a majority of the arbitrators. All privileges under Louisiana and federal law, including attorney-client and work-product privileges, shall be
preserved and protected to the same extent that such privileges would be protected in a federal court proceeding applying Louisiana law. 

(c) The Company shall be responsible for advancing the cost of the arbitrators as well as the other costs of the arbitration. Each Party
will pay the fees and expenses of its own counsel, except that with respect to those claims for which Executive is ultimately the prevailing party, the Company shall reimburse all of Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses
incurred in connection with asserting or defending against claims as to which Executive prevails within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written demand accompanied by reasonable documentation in support thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such reimbursements will be made in no event later than the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; the expenses reimbursed by the Company during any taxable year of Executive will not
affect the expenses reimbursed by the Company in another taxable year; and this right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

 

 22 

 (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 15, in the event that a Party
against whom any claim, right or cause of action is asserted commences, or has commenced against it, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, the Party or Parties asserting such claim, right or cause of action will have no obligations under
this Section 15 and may assert such claim, right or cause of action in the manner and forum it deems appropriate, subject to applicable laws. No determination or decision by the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 15 will limit or
restrict the ability of any Party hereto to obtain or seek in any appropriate forum, any relief or remedy that is not a monetary award or money damages. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 15, if the Company is seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a
dispute arising under or in connection with Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13, the arbitration requirements of this Section 15 shall not apply. 

(f) Any court proceedings relating to this Agreement shall be filed exclusively in the federal and state courts domiciled in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, and the Parties hereto consent to the venue and jurisdiction of such courts. 
 Section 16.
Indemnification. 
 (a) Company Indemnity. 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 he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary
or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans, whether the basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action or failure to act in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, Executive shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or resolutions of the Company’s Board or, if greater, by the laws of the State of
Delaware (or, with respect to Holding, the laws of the State of Louisiana), against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to
be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith, provided Executive provides Company with prompt notice of such action or threatened action (but failure to provide prompt notice shall not prejudice
Executive except to the extent it actually prejudices the Company). Such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, officer, employee or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the
benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses to be incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a written
request for such advance. Such request shall include an undertaking by Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses. The provisions of
this Section 16(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Executive may be entitled or which may be granted to him, and it shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification to which he may be entitled
under any policy of insurance. 
  

 23 

 (b) No Presumption Regarding Standard of Conduct. Neither the failure of the Company
(including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding concerning payment of amounts claimed by Executive under Section 16(a) above that indemnification of
Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall
create a presumption that Executive has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 Section 17. Potential Reduction
in Payments 
 (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment, distribution, or other
benefit provided by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”), (x) constitute a
“parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (y) but for this Section 17 would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor provision thereto
(the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be either: 
 (i) delivered in full pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, or 
 (ii) delivered to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of the payments
being subject to the Excise Tax as determined in accordance with Section 17(b). 
 (b) The determination of whether
Section 17(a)(i) or Section 17(a)(ii) shall be given effect shall be made by the Company on the basis of which of such clauses results in the receipt by the Executive of the greater Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined below) of the aggregate
Payments; provided, however, that if the Net After-Tax Receipt of the aggregate Payments under Section 17(a)(i) does not exceed the Net After-Tax Receipt of the aggregate Payments under Section 17(a)(ii) by Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) or greater, Section 17(a)(ii) automatically shall be given effect. The term “Net After-Tax Receipt” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code) of the payments net of
all applicable federal, state and local income, employment, and other applicable taxes and the Excise Tax. 
 (c) If
Section 17(a)(ii) is given effect, the reduction shall be accomplished first by reducing cash Payments under Section 8(e)(ii) of this Agreement and then by forfeiting any equity-based awards that vest and become payable under
Section 8(e)(iv) of this Agreement, starting with the most recent equity-based awards that vest pursuant to such section, to the extent necessary to accomplish such reduction. 

 

 24 

 (d) Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required
under this Section 17 shall be made by the Company’s independent accountants or compensation consultants (the “Third Party”), after due consideration of Executive’s comments with respect to the interpretation and
application thereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Third Party such information and documents as the Third Party may reasonably request in
order to make a determination under this Section 17. The Company shall bear all fees and costs of the Third Party with respect to all determinations under or contemplated by this Section 17. 

Section 18. Effect of Agreement on Other Benefits. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the existence of
this Agreement shall not be interpreted to preclude, prohibit or restrict Executive’s participation in any other employee benefit or other plans or programs in which he currently participates. 

Section 19. Assignability: Binding Nature; Solidary Obligations. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs (in the case of Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company except that such rights or
obligations may be assigned or transferred in connection with a Change of Control of the Company, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and such assignee or transferee
assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. The Company further agrees that, in the event of a Change of Control, it shall take whatever action it
legally can in order to cause such assignee or transferee to expressly assume the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company hereunder. No rights or obligations of Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Executive
other than his rights to compensation and benefits, which may be transferred only by will or operation of law, except as provided in Section 25 below. Company and Holding are each solidarily liable with the other of them for such other’s
obligations under this Agreement. 
 Section 20. Representation. Each of the Company and Holding represents and
warrants that it is fully authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement and that the performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not violate any agreement between it and any other person, firm or organization. Executive hereby
represents to the Company that he is physically and mentally capable of performing his duties hereunder and he has no knowledge of any present or past physical or mental conditions which would cause him not to be able to perform his duties
hereunder. 
 Section 21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement
between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and, as of the Effective Date, supersedes the Original Agreement and any other agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, between the
Parties with respect thereto, including, without limitation any prior change in control agreement between the Parties. 
  

 25 

 Section 22. Amendment or Waiver. No provision in this Agreement may be
amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. Except as set forth herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party shall impair any
such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of or an acquiescence to any breach hereof. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such
other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Executive or an authorized officer of the Company, as the case may be.

 Section 23. Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined
to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Specifically, but without
limitation, the parties agree that if any court of competent jurisdiction or any arbitral panel finds that any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses, sections, subdivisions, or subparagraphs contained in Sections 10, 11, 12 or 13 is
overly broad or unenforceable, then the Agreement should be reduced or amended to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowable under applicable law. 

Section 24. Survival. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the respective rights and obligations of the Parties under this
Agreement shall terminate, except that (a) the provisions of Sections 1 and 2, the second sentence of Section 3(a), Sections 8(g), (h), (i), (j) and (m), and Sections 9 through 30 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and (b) the termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations of the Parties accrued under the express terms of this Agreement prior to or
in connection with such termination and, with respect to such surviving provisions and those that survive under Section 3(a), thereafter. 

Section 25. Beneficiaries/References. Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law,
to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial
determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative. 

Section 26. Governing Law/Exclusive Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of Louisiana without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Subject to Section 15 and in accordance with Section 14, the Company and Executive hereby consent and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any
or all of the following courts for purposes of resolving any dispute under this Agreement: (i) the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana or (ii) the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East
Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana. The Parties agree that to the extent permitted, any lawsuit involving a dispute under this Agreement shall be filed and may proceed only in these referenced courts. The Company and Executive hereby waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objection which it or he may now or hereafter have to these referenced courts. The Company and Executive further agree that any service of process or notice
requirements in any such proceeding shall be satisfied if the rules of such court relating thereto have been substantially satisfied. 
  

 26 

 Section 27. Notices. Any notices given under this Agreement shall be in
writing, and delivered or mailed, and if mailed, postage prepaid, certified, return receipt requested and addressed to the Company, to Holding and to Executive at the addresses set forth below, or such other addresses as the Parties may from time to
time hereafter designate in writing, such notices to be effective upon receipt by the Party to whom such notice is addressed:
