any early termination pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise. 
 2. Duties. Employee shall hold the position of and
serve as Executive Vice President, New Business. During Employee’s term of employment with SCU, Employee agrees to devote Employee’s time, attention and energies to Employee’s position subject to the direction and control of
SCU, and shall to the best of Employee’s ability make every effort to perform and fulfill the responsibilities of that position. Additionally, Employee agrees to perform all additional responsibilities for SCU and its subsidiaries that are
reasonably within Employee’s purview that SCU may assign to him from time to time. Throughout the Term, Employee agrees to comply with Santander Group’s General Code of Conduct and SCU’s Business Conduct Statement. 

3. Compensation. 
 (a) Base Salary. For all the services rendered by Employee in any capacity under this Agreement, SCU agrees to pay Employee $21,250.00 a month in base salary, less applicable deductions and
withholding taxes, payable to Employee on a bi-weekly basis, or otherwise in accordance in accordance with SCU’s payroll practices as they may exist from time to time. 
 (b) Annual Attainment Bonus. In addition to Employee’s Salary, Employee will be eligible to receive bonus compensation (the “Base Bonus”) in accordance with SCU’s Executive
Compensation and Bonus Program. 

 (c) Incentive Plans. Employee will also be entitled to participate in the current
Grupo Santander Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) and in any incentive programs that may be available for SCU’s senior executives. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for calendars years 2013 and 2014, Employee’s Base Salary, Base Bonus and LTIP compensation will be no less than $724,500 annually.

 (e) Current Deferred Bonus. In addition to Employee’s Salary and Base Bonus, Employee will be eligible to receive

Employee shall be entitled to participate in such vacation, medical, dental, life insurance, long-term disability, 401(k), long-term incentive and other plans SCU may have or establish from time to time and which Employee would be entitled to
participate under the terms of the plan. This provision, however, will not be construed to either require SCU to establish any welfare, compensation or long term incentive plans, or to prevent the modification or termination of any plan once
established, and no action or inaction with respect to any plan will affect this Agreement 
 5. Business Expenses.
During Employee’s employment under this Agreement, SCU shall reimburse Employee for such reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in the performance of Employee’s duties consistent with SCU’s then applicable expense reimbursement
policies for SCU’s executives at comparable position levels. In addition, Company shall pay or reimburse Employee, if applicable for such amounts that are reasonable and necessary in order for Employee to maintain professional standing,
accreditation, licensure, and the like, including but not limited to, license fees, association dues, insurance, professional and/or occupational tax(es), professional organization dues, continuing education, and the like. 

6. Non-Competition, Confidential Information, Etc. 
 (a) Non-Competition. Employee agrees this Employee’s employment with SCU is on an exclusive basis and that, while employed by SCU, Employee shall not engage in any other business activity
which is in conflict with Employee’s duties and obligations (including Employee’s commitment of time) under this Agreement. Employee agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period (defined below), Employee shall not, without the express
written approval of SCU, directly or indirectly engage in or participate as an owner, partner, stockholder, officer, employee, director, agent of or consultant for any SCU Competitor (defined below) and shall perform no services for a SCU Competitor
similar to any services performed for 

  
 2 

 
SCU; provided, however, that this provision will not prevent Employee from investing as less than a 1% stockholder in the securities of any company listed on a national securities
exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system, provided such investments are made in compliance with Santander Group’s Code of Conduct in Securities Markets. The Non-Compete Period will cover the entire Term plus any period after the Term
for which Employee receives compensation pursuant to Section hereof. A SCU Competitor is any business entity that engages in direct or indirect consumer financing or any other business that SCU develops as part of its business activity during the
Term. In every case, the good faith judgment of SCU will be conclusive as to whether a business entity constitutes a SCU Competitor. Employee agrees that this non-compete covenant is ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement, including, but
not limited to, the confidentiality covenant and the payment provision in Section 3 above. 
 (b) Confidential
Information. Employee agrees that, during the Term and at any time thereafter, (i) Employee shall not (a) use Confidential Information (defined below) for any purpose other than the duly authorized business of SCU conducted in the
course of Employees employment at SCU or, (b) disclose to any third party any Confidential Information; and (ii) Employee shall comply with any and all confidentiality obligations of SCU to a third party, whether arising under a written
agreement or otherwise. As used in this Agreement, Confidential Information means business information, technological information, intellectual property, trade secrets and other information belonging to Drove or any of its affiliated companies or
relating to SCU’s business, technology, customers, clients or vendors, including, without limitation, any written (including electronic form) or oral communication incorporating Confidential Information in any way. Information will not be
deemed Confidential Information which (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Employee or at Employee’s direction or by any other person who directly or indirectly receives such
information from Employee, or (b) is or becomes available to Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source that is entitled to disclose it to Employee. 
 (c) No Employee Solicitation. Employee agrees that, during Term and for one year thereafter, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly engage, employ or solicit the employment or consulting
services of any person who is then or has been within six (6) months prior to the time of such action, an employee of SCU or any of its affiliated companies. 
 (d) SCU Ownership. Any and all material eligible for copyright or trademark protection and any and all inventions, discoveries, ideas, processes and programs, whether or not patentable, in any case
solely or jointly conceived, developed or discovered by Employee during Employee’s employment with SCU and that are within the scope of Employee’s position and inherent duties and which may be directly or indirectly useful in the business
of SCU will be the sole property of SCU. Any works of authorship or other materials that are within the scope of Employee’s position and inherent duties and which may be directly or indirectly useful in the business of SCU will be
works-made-for-hire pursuant to 17 U.S.C., Section 201 (the Copyright Act). SCU will be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all rights of every nature in and to such works (including, without limitation, any copyrights,
patents, trademarks and trade secrets), whether such rights are now known or hereafter defined or discovered, with the right to use the works in perpetuity in any manner SCU determines in its sole discretion without any further payment to Employee.
If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds are not legally deemed a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any rights in such results and 

  
 3 

 
proceeds that do not accrue to SCU, then Employee hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of Employee’s rights, title and interest thereto, including, without limitation,
any and all copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and/or other rights of every nature in the work, whether known or hereafter defined or discovered, and SCU will have the right to use the work in perpetuity in any manner SCU determines in
its sole discretion without any further payment to Employee. Employee shall, as may be requested by SCU from time to time do any and all things that SCU may deem useful or desirable to establish or document SCU’s rights in any such results and
proceeds. If Employee is unavailable or unwilling to execute such documents, Employee hereby irrevocably designates the Chief Executive officer of SCU or Employee’s designee as Employee’s attorney-in-fact with the power to execute such
documents on Employee’s behalf. To the extent Employee has any rights in the results and proceeds of Employee’s services under this Agreement that cannot be assigned as described above, Employee unconditionally and irrevocably waives the
enforcement of such rights, This Section 6(d) is subject to, and does not limit, restrict, or constitute a waiver by SCU or any of its affiliated companies of any ownership rights to which SCU or any of its affiliated companies may be entitled
by operation of law by virtue of being the employer of Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing language, the parties hereby agree that this Section 6(d) shall not apply in any way to the items scheduled on Exhibit A hereto (the
“Excluded IP”) which are and shall remain the property of Employee. 
 (e) Litigation. Employee agrees that,
during the Term and the pendency of any litigation or other proceeding, and at any time thereafter, (i) Employee shall not communicate with anyone (other than Employee’s own attorneys or tax advisors), except to the extent necessary in the
performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement, with respect to the facts or subject matter of any pending or potential litigation, or regulatory or administrative proceeding involving SCU or any of its affiliated companies, other than
any litigation or other proceeding in which Employee is a party-in-opposition, without giving prior notice to SCU or SCU’s counsel; and (ii) in the event that any other party attempts to obtain information or documents from Employee with
respect to matters possibly related to such litigation or other proceeding, Employee shall promptly notify SCU’s counsel before providing such information or documents. 
 (f) Return of Property. All documents, data, recordings, or other property, whether tangible or intangible, including all information stored in any form, obtained or prepared by or for Employee and
utilized by Employee in the course of employment with SCU or any of its affiliated companies, will remain the exclusive property of SCU. In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, SCU reserves the right, to the
extent permitted by law and in addition to any other remedy SCU may have, to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to Employee the following: (i) all amounts Employee may owe SCU or any of its affiliated companies at the time of or
subsequent to the termination of Employee’s employment with SCU, and (ii) the value of SCU property that Employee retains in Employee’s possession after the termination of Employee’s employment with SCU. In the event that the law
of any state or other jurisdiction requires the consent of any employee for such deductions, this Agreement will serve as such consent. 
 (g) Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees that, during the Term and at any time thereafter, Employee shall not, in any communications with the press or other media or any

  
 4 

 
customer, client or supplier of SCU, or any of its affiliated companies, criticize, ridicule or make any statement that disparages or is derogatory of SCU or any of its affiliated companies or
any of their respective directors or officers. 
 (h) Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any
violation of Sections 6(a) through (h) of this Agreement will result in irreparable damage to SCU, and, accordingly, SCU shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief and other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of such
Sections, in addition to any other remedies available to SCU. 
 (i) Survival; Modification of Terms. Employee’s
obligations under Sections 6(a) through (i) will remain in force and effect for the entire period provided therein notwithstanding the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason or the expiration of the Term, Employee and SCU
agree that the restrictions and remedies contained in paragraphs 6(a) through (i) are reasonable and that it is Employee’s intention and the intention of SCU that such restrictions and remedies will be enforceable to the full extent
permissible by law. If a court of competent jurisdiction will find that any such restriction or remedy is unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted or the period or area of application reduced, then such restriction or remedy
will apply with the modification necessary to make it enforceable. 
 7. Disability. If Employee
becomes “disabled” within the meaning of such term under SCU’s company-paid Salary Continuation program and its company-paid Long Term and Individual Disability Insurance program during the Term (such condition is referred to as a
“Disability”), Employee will receive compensation under the Salary Continuation program for the first 13 weeks of consecutive absence in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Employee is not yet
eligible (due to Employee’s tenure or lack thereof) to receive compensations under the Salary Continuation program, Employee shall receive Employee’s salary for a period of nine (9) months in lieu of such compensation under the Salary
Continuation Program. Thereafter, Employee will be eligible to receive benefits under the Long Term and Individual Disability Insurance program in accordance each policy’s terms. If Employee has not returned to work by December 31st of a calendar year during the Term, Employee will receive Base Bonus
compensation for the calendar year(s) during the Term in which Employee received compensation under the Salary Continuation program determined as follows: 

(i) for the portion of the calendar year from
January 1st until the date on which Employee first
receives compensation under the Salary Continuation program, Base Bonus compensation will be determined in accordance with the ECBP and prorated for such period; and 
 (ii) for any subsequent portion of the calendar year and any portion of the following calendar year in which Employee receives compensation under the ECBP, Base Bonus compensation will be in an amount
based on the ECBP and prorated for such period(s). 
 Employee will not receive Base Bonus compensation for any portion of the calendar year(s)
during the Term while Employee receives compensation and benefits under the Long Term and Individual Disability Insurance program. For the periods that Employee received compensation and benefits under the Salary Continuation and Individual
Disability Insurance programs, such 

  
 5 

 
compensation and benefits and the Base Bonus compensation provided under this Section 7 are in lieu of Salary and Base Bonus under Sections 3(a) and (b). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Term of this Agreement will not automatically extend in the event Employee is receiving benefits under the Salary Continuation, Long Term and Individual Disability Insurance programs.

available by Employer to the Executive in particular, subject to any applicable terms and conditions of any specific perquisite or other fringe benefit. Employer agrees that the employee benefit plans, programs, arrangements, perquisites and other
fringe benefits that are made available to the Executive under this Agreement will not be materially diminished in the aggregate from those benefit plans, programs, arrangements, perquisites and other fringe benefits available to the Executive at
Drive Financial Services LP and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Effective Date, unless the effect of this provision would be to require Employer to maintain such plan, program, arrangement, perquisite fringe benefit for all or substantially
all other employees in which case the covenant contained in this sentence shall not apply thereto. The Executive agrees to cooperate and participate in any medical or physical examinations as may be required by any insurance company in connection
with the applications for such life and/or disability insurance policies.

hereof, Employer shall not be obligated to indemnify the Executive hereunder in connection with actions, suits or proceedings arising under this Agreement, the Dundon Investment Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or the other agreements entered
into in connection therewith. The indemnity provided for in this Section shall be in addition to any indemnity available to the Executive under Employer’s Bylaws or other constituent documents. 

7. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Death. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon his death. 
 (b) Inability to Perform. In the event of the Executive’s Inability to Perform during the Employment Term, Employer may notify the Executive of Employer’s termination of the
Executive’s employment. 
 (c) Termination by Employer for Cause. Employer may terminate the Executive’s
employment for Cause. Prior to terminating the Executive’s employment for Cause under this Paragraph 7(c), Employer must provide the Executive with a written notice of its intent to terminate his employment for Cause. Such written notice must
specify the particular act or acts or failure(s) to act that form(s) the basis for the decision to so terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause. If such acts or failures may reasonably be remedied or cured, and if such acts or failures
have not been the subject of a previous notice and meeting with the Board under this Paragraph 7(c), Executive shall have 15 calendar days following the receipt of the notice required under this Paragraph 7(c), to effect that remedy or cure. In
addition, other than a termination under clause (g) of the definition of Cause, the Executive will be given the opportunity within 15 calendar days of his receipt of the notice required by this Paragraph 7(c) to meet with the Board to defend
himself with regard to the alleged act or acts or failure(s) to act. If at the conclusion of or following such a meeting, the Board decides to proceed with the termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause, such a termination will be
effected by providing the Executive with a Notice of Termination under Paragraph 7(g). Upon or after Employer’s issuance of the notice of intent to terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause, Employer may suspend the Executive with pay
pending the Board’s decision whether to proceed with the termination. 

  
 7 

 (d) Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his
employment for Good Reason. To exercise his right to terminate for Good Reason, the Executive must provide written notice to Employer of his belief that Good Reason exists, and such notice shall describe the circumstance believed to constitute Good
Reason. If that circumstance may reasonably be remedied, Employer shall have 30 days to effect that remedy. If not remedied within that 30-day period, the Executive may submit a Notice of Termination; provided, however, that the Notice of
Termination invoking the Executive’s right to terminate his employment for Good Reason must be given no later than six months after the later of (i) the first date the Executive knew that Good Reason existed, and (ii) the end of
Employer’s 30-day cure period, if applicable (otherwise, the Executive is deemed to have accepted the circumstances) that may have given rise to the existence of Good Reason). 

(e) Termination by Employer following Put Option. Employer may, in its discretion, terminate the Executive’s employment
within 90 days following any date (the “Put Option Date”) on which the Executive receives full and final payment of the consideration payable in connection with the exercise by Dundon Holdco of either the IPO Put Option or the
Deadlock Put Option (each, as defined in the Shareholders Agreement). 
 (f) Termination by Either Party Without Cause or
Without Good Reason. The Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment without Good Reason upon at least three months’ prior written notice to Employer. Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause upon
written notice to the Executive. 
 (g) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by
Employer or by the Executive (other than a termination pursuant to Paragraph 7(a)) shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination. A “Notice of Termination” is a written notice that must (i) indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon; (ii) in the case of a termination for Inability to Perform, Cause or Good Reason, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the
Executive’s employment under the provision invoked, including the particular act or acts or failure(s) to act that is or are the basis of any termination for Cause or Good Reason; and (iii) if the termination is by the Executive under
Paragraph 7(f), or by Employer for any reason, specify the Employment Termination Date. The failure by Employer to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance that contributes to a showing of Cause shall not waive any right of
Employer or preclude Employer from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing Employer’s rights. 
 (h) Employment
Termination Date. The Employment Termination Date shall be as follows: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer because
of his Inability to Perform, for Cause or following the Put Option Date, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which date shall be no earlier than the date such notice is given; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated
by the Executive for Good Reason, the date on which the Notice of Termination is given; or (iv) if the termination is under Paragraph 7(f), the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which date shall be no earlier than three months after
the date such notice is given if such Notice of Termination is given by the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Employment Termination Date occur until the Executive experiences a “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and the date on which such separation from service takes place shall be the “Employment Termination Date”. 

  
 8 

 (i) Resignation. In the event of termination of the Executive’s employment (for
any reason other than the death of the Executive), the Executive agrees that if at such time he is a member of the Board or the board of directors of Parent or is an officer of Employer or a director or officer of any of its Affiliates, he shall be
deemed to have resigned from such position(s) effective on the Employment Termination Date; provided, however, that if, upon the termination of Executive’s employment, Dundon Holdco beneficially owns at least 8.5% of the Shares,
Executive shall not be deemed to have resigned as a member of the Board or as a director of any of its Affiliates on the Employment Termination Date.

payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any profits, income, earnings, or other benefits received by the Executive from any
source other than Employer or its successor. 
 (j) Offset. The Executive agrees that Employer may set off against, and
he authorizes Employer to deduct from, any payments due to the Executive, or to his heirs, legal representatives, or successors, as a result of the termination of the Executive’s employment any specified amounts which the Board determines in
good faith are due and owing to Employer by the Executive, whether arising under this Agreement or otherwise. 
 (k) Mutual
Release. Following receipt of the Executive’s signed mutual release pursuant to this Agreement, Employer and Parent shall have ten (10) days from the date such release becomes irrevocable to execute the release and deliver a copy to
the Executive. If Employer or Parent fail to execute such release within the time frame established by the preceding sentence, the release shall be null and void and the Executive shall be entitled to receive any benefits under this Agreement as he
would otherwise be entitled to receive had the mutual release been fully executed. 
 9. Confidential Information.

 (a) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) Employer is engaged in a highly competitive business;
(ii) Employer has expended considerable time and resources to develop goodwill with its customers, vendors, and others, and to create, protect, and exploit Confidential Information; (iii) Employer must continue to prevent the dilution of
its goodwill and unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential Information to avoid irreparable harm to its legitimate business interests; (iv) his participation in or direction of Employer’s day-to-day operations and strategic
planning are an integral part of Employer’s continued success and goodwill; (v) given his position and responsibilities, he necessarily will be creating Confidential Information that belongs to Employer and enhances Employer’s
goodwill, and in carrying out his responsibilities he in turn will be relying on Employer’s goodwill and the disclosure by Employer to him of Confidential Information; (vi) he will have access to Confidential Information that could be used
by any Competitor of Employer in a manner that would irreparably harm Employer’s competitive position in the marketplace and dilute its goodwill; and (vii) he necessarily would use or disclose Confidential Information if he were to engage
in competition with Employer. 
 (b) Employer acknowledges and agrees that the Executive must have and continue to have
throughout his employment the benefits and use of its and its Affiliates’ goodwill and Confidential Information in order to properly carry out his responsibilities. Employer accordingly promises upon execution and delivery of this Agreement to
provide the Executive immediate access to new and additional Confidential Information and authorize him to engage in activities that will create new and additional Confidential Information. 

(c) Employer and the Executive thus acknowledge and agree that during the Executive’s employment with Employer and upon execution
and delivery of this Agreement he (i) has received, will receive, and will continue to receive, Confidential Information that is unique, proprietary, and valuable to Employer and/or its Affiliates; (ii) has

  
 11 

 
created, will create, and will continue to create, Confidential Information that is unique, proprietary, and valuable to Employer and/or its Affiliates; and (iii) has benefited, will
benefit, and will continue to benefit, including without limitation by way of increased earnings and earning capacity, from the goodwill Employer and its Affiliates have generated and from the Confidential Information. 

(d) Accordingly, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that at all times during his employment by Employer and/or any of its Affiliates
and thereafter: 
 (i) all Confidential Information shall remain and be the sole and exclusive property of
Employer and/or its Affiliates; 
 (ii) he will protect and safeguard all Confidential Information; 

(iii) he will hold all Confidential Information in strictest confidence and not, directly or indirectly, disclose or
divulge any Confidential Information to any person other than an officer, director, or employee of, or legal counsel for, Employer or its Affiliates, to the extent necessary for the proper performance of his responsibilities unless authorized to do
so by Employer or compelled to do so by law or valid legal process; 
 (iv) if he believes he is compelled by law
or valid legal process to disclose or divulge any Confidential Information, he will notify Employer in writing within 24 hours after receipt of legal process or other writing that causes him to form such a belief, or as soon as practicable if he
receives less than 24 hours’ notice, so that Employer may defend, limit, or otherwise protect its interests against such disclosure; 
 (v) at the end of his employment with Employer for any reason or at the request of Employer at any time, he will return to Employer all Confidential Information and all copies thereof, in whatever
tangible form or medium, including electronic; and 
 (vi) absent the promises and representations of the
Executive in this Paragraph 9 and in Paragraph 10, Employer would require him immediately to return any tangible Confidential Information in his possession, would not provide the Executive with new and additional Confidential Information, would not
authorize the Executive to engage in activities that will create new and additional Confidential Information, and would not enter or have entered into this Agreement. 
 10. Noncompetition and Nondisparagement Obligations. In consideration of Employer’s promises to provide the Executive with new and additional Confidential Information and to authorize
him to engage in activities that will create new and additional Confidential Information upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the other promises and undertakings of Employer in this Agreement, the Executive agrees that, while he is
employed by Employer and/or any of its Affiliates and for the Non-Compete Period, he shall not engage in any of the following activities (the “Restricted Activities”): 

(a) he will not directly or indirectly disparage Employer or its Affiliates, any products, services, or operations of Employer or its
Affiliates, or any of the former, current, or future officers, directors, or employees of Employer or its Affiliates; 

  
 12 

 (b) he will not, whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity,
either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, persuade, or entice, or endeavor to solicit, induce, persuade, or entice, any person who is then employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for Employer or its Affiliates to leave that
employment or cease performing those services; 
 (c) he will not, whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or
entity, either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, persuade, or entice, or endeavor to solicit, induce, persuade, or entice, any person who is then a customer, supplier, or vendor of Employer or any of its Affiliates to cease being a customer,
supplier, or vendor of Employer or any of its Affiliates or to divert all or any part of such person’s or entity’s business from Employer or any of its Affiliates; and 

(d) he will not associate directly or indirectly, as an employee, officer, director, agent, partner, stockholder, owner, member,
representative, or consultant, with any Competitor of Employer or any of its Affiliates (i) in Dallas, Texas, and (ii) in any other region of the United States in which Employer, as of the end of the Employment Term, engaged in the
Sub-Prime/Below Prime Business. This restriction extends to the performance by the Executive, directly or indirectly, of the same or similar activities the Executive has performed for Employer or any of its Affiliates or such other activities that
by their nature are likely to lead to the disclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive shall not be in violation of this Paragraph 10(d) solely as a result of his investment in stock or other securities of a Competitor or any of its
Affiliates listed on a national securities exchange or actively traded in the over-the-counter market if he and the members of his immediate family do not, directly or indirectly, hold more than a total of one percent of all such shares of stock or
other securities issued and outstanding. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that engaging in the activities restricted by this Paragraph 10(d) would result in the inevitable disclosure or use of Confidential Information for the Competitor’s
benefit or to the detriment of Employer or its Affiliates, 
 The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions
contained in this Paragraph 10 are ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement, including without limitation the mutual promises and undertakings set forth in Paragraph 9; that Employer’s promises and undertakings set forth in Paragraph 9,
the Executive’s position and responsibilities with Employer, and Employer granting to the Executive ownership in Employer in the form of Employer stock, give rise to Employer’s interest in restricting the Executive’s post-employment
activities; that such restrictions are designed to enforce the Executive’s promises and undertakings set forth in Paragraphs 9 and 10 and his common-law obligations and duties owed to Employer and its Affiliates; that the restrictions are
reasonable and necessary, are valid and enforceable under Texas law, and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to protect Employer’s goodwill, Confidential Information, and other legitimate business interests; that he will
immediately notify Employer in writing should he believe or be advised that the restrictions are not, or likely are not, valid or enforceable under Texas law or the law of any other state that he contends or is advised is applicable (the
“Enforceability Notification”); that the mutual promises and undertakings of Employer and 

  
 13 

 
the Executive under Paragraphs 9 and 10 are not contingent on the duration of the Executive’s employment with Employer; and that absent the promises and representations made by the Executive
in this Paragraph 10 and Paragraph 9, Employer would require him to return any Confidential Information in his possession, would not provide the Executive with new and additional Confidential Information, would not authorize the Executive to engage
in activities that will create new and additional Confidential Information, and would not enter or have entered into this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer agrees that the Executive’s conduct in providing the Enforceability
Notification under this Paragraph 10(d) shall not constitute a waiver of any attorney-client privilege between the Executive and his attorney(s). 
 11. Intellectual Property. 
 (a) In consideration of Employer’s
promises and undertakings in this Agreement, the Executive agrees that all Work Product will be disclosed promptly by the Executive to Employer, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer, and is hereby assigned to Employer, regardless of
whether (i) such Work Product was conceived, made, developed or worked on during regular hours of his employment or his time away from his employment, (ii) the Work Product was made at the suggestion of Employer; or (iii) the Work
Product was reduced to drawing, written description, documentation, models or other tangible form. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive acknowledges that all original works of authorship that are made by the Executive, solely or jointly
with others, within the scope of his employment and that are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101), and are therefore owned by Employer
from the time of creation. 
 (b) The Executive agrees to assign, transfer, and set over, and the Executive does hereby assign,
transfer, and set over to Employer, all of his right, title and interest in and to all Work Product, without the necessity of any further compensation, and agrees that Employer is entitled to obtain and hold in its own name all patents, copyrights,
and other rights in respect of all Work Product. The Executive agrees to (i) cooperate with Employer during and after his employment with Employer in obtaining patents or copyrights or other intellectual property protection for all Work
Product; (ii) execute, acknowledge, seal and deliver all documents tendered by Employer to evidence its ownership thereof throughout the world; and (iii) cooperate with Employer in obtaining, defending and enforcing its rights therein.

 (c) The Executive represents that there are no other contracts to assign inventions or other intellectual property that are
now in existence between the Executive and any other person or entity. The Executive further represents that he has no other employment or undertakings that might restrict or impair his performance of this Agreement. The Executive will not in
connection with his employment by Employer, use or disclose to Employer any confidential, trade secret, or other proprietary information of any previous employer or other person that the Executive is not lawfully entitled to disclose. 

12. Reformation. If the provisions of Paragraphs 9, 10, or 11 are ever deemed by a court to exceed the limitations
permitted by applicable law, the Executive and Employer agree that such provisions shall be, and are, automatically reformed to the maximum limitations permitted by such law. 

  
 14 

 13. Assistance in Litigation. After the Employment Term, the Executive shall,
upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and assistance to Employer or any of its Affiliates as may reasonably be requested by Employer in connection with any litigation in which Employer or any of its Affiliates is, or may become, a party.
Employer shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses, incurred by the Executive in rendering such assistance, but shall have no obligation to compensate the Executive for his time in providing
information and assistance in accordance with this Paragraph 13. 
 14. No Obligation to Pay. With regard to any
payment due to the Executive under this Agreement, it shall not be a breach of any provision of this Agreement for Employer to fail to make such payment to the Executive if (i) Employer is legally prohibited from making the payment;
(ii) Employer would be legally obligated to recover the payment if it was made; or (iii) the Executive would be legally obligated to repay the payment if it was made. 

15. Survival. The expiration or termination of this Agreement and/or the Employment Term will not impair the rights or
obligations of any party hereto that accrue hereunder prior to such expiration or termination, except to the extent specifically stated herein or in the Release. In addition to the foregoing, Employer’s obligations under Paragraphs 6(g), 8 and
17, and the Executive’s obligations under Paragraphs 9, 10, 11 and 13, will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and/or the Employment Agreement. 
 16. Withholding Taxes. Employer shall withhold from any payments to be made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement such amounts (including social security contributions and federal
income taxes) as shall be required by federal, state, and local withholding tax laws. 
 17. Excise Tax Provisions in
Connection with a Change of Control. 
 (a) If there occurs a transaction that constitutes a “change of
control” under Regulation 1.280G and, immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control, Employer is an entity whose stock is readily tradable on an established securities market (or otherwise) such that Excise Tax Exemption is
not available, the following provisions will apply: 
 (i) In the event it shall be determined that any Payment
is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Excise Tax”), Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or
penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and the Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the
Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 17(a), if it shall be determined that Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the

  
 15 

 
Payment does not exceed 110% of the greatest amount that could be paid to Executive without giving rise to any Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor Amount”), then no Gross-Up Payment
shall be made to Executive and the amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced so that the Payment, in the aggregate, is reduced to the Safe Harbor Amount. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by
first reducing the Severance Payment, second by reducing the Prorated Bonus and third by reducing the Welfare Benefits. Employer’s obligation to make the Gross-Up Payment under this Paragraph 17 shall not be conditioned upon the
Executive’s termination of employment. 
 (ii) All determinations required to be made under this Paragraph
17, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by Employer
(the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Employer and the Executive within ten business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as
is requested by Employer; provided that for purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rates applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which any
such Gross-Up Payment is to be made and deemed to pay state and local income taxes at the highest effective rates applicable to individuals in the state or locality of the Executive’s residence or place of employment in the calendar year in
which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes, taking into account limitations applicable to individuals subject to federal
income tax at the highest marginal rates. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by Employer. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall so indicate to the Executive in
writing. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Employer and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code, it is possible that, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment
determined by the Accounting Finn to be due to (or on behalf of) the Executive was lower than the amount actually due (“Underpayment”). In the event that Employer exhausts its remedies pursuant to Paragraph 17(a) and the Executive
thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Employer to or for the benefit of Executive.

 (iii) The Executive shall notify Employer in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if
successful, would require the payment by Employer of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise
Employer of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty day period following the date on which it gives such notice to Employer (or
such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If Employer notifies the 

  
 16 

 
Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall (i) give Employer any information reasonably requested by Employer
relating to such claim, (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as Employer shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim
by an attorney reasonably selected by Employer, (iii) cooperate with Employer in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim and (iv) permit Employer to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided,
however, that Employer shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for
any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 17(a), Employer shall
control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its
sole option, either pay the tax claimed to the appropriate taxing authority on behalf of the Executive and direct the Executive to sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to
a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Employer shall determine; provided, further, that if Employer pays such claim and directs the Executive sue for a
refund, Employer shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such payment or with respect to any imputed
income with respect to such payment; provided, further, that if the Executive is required to extend the statute of limitations to enable Employer to contest such claim, the Executive may limit this extension solely to such contested amount.
Employer’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the
Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
 (iv) If, after the receipt by the Executive of a
Gross-Up Payment or payment by Employer of an amount on the Executive’s behalf pursuant to Paragraph 17(a)(iii), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to a Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall (subject to
Employer’s complying with the requirements of Paragraph 17(a)) promptly pay to Employer the corresponding amount of such refund received (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after payment by
Employer of an amount on the Executive’s behalf pursuant to Paragraph 17(a)(iii), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and Employer does not notify the Executive in writing of
its intent to contest such 

  
 17 

 
denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty days after such determination, then such payment shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such payment shall
offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 
 (v) Any Gross-Up
Payment, as determined pursuant to this Paragraph 17, shall be paid by Employer to the Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination; provided that, the Gross-Up Payment shall in all events be paid no
later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the Executive’s taxable year in which the Excise Tax (and any income or other related taxes or interest or penalties thereon) on a Payment are remitted to the Internal
Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority or, in the case of amounts relating to a claim described in Paragraph 17(a)(iii) that does not result in the remittance of any federal, state, local and foreign income, excise, social security
and other taxes, the calendar year in which the claim is finally settled or otherwise resolved. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Paragraph 17, Employer may, in its sole discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or
any other applicable taxing authority, for the benefit of the Executive, the appropriate portion of any Gross-Up Payment, and the Executive hereby consents to such withholding. 

18. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted to be given or made by either
party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) when delivered personally, or (b) when deposited in the United States mail, first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, to the party for which intended at the following addresses (or at such other addresses as shall be specified by the parties by like notice, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt):

19. Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that Employer would not have an adequate remedy at law and
would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of Paragraphs 9, 10 and 11 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that Employer shall be entitled
to equitable relief, including preliminary and permanent injunctions and specific performance, in the event the Executive breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of such Paragraphs, without the necessity of posting any bond or proving
special damages or irreparable injury. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Executive, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available to Employer at law
or equity. 
 20. Binding Effect; No Assignment by the Executive; No Third Party Benefit. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that the Executive shall not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of his
rights or obligations herein. Subject to Paragraph 21, Employer is authorized to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations herein to an Affiliate of Employer so long as such Affiliate is a successor or assignee
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, contribution, assignment, restructuring or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Employer. The Executive shall not have any right to pledge,
hypothecate, anticipate, or in any way create a lien upon any payments or other benefits provided under this Agreement; and no benefits payable under this Agreement shall be assignable in anticipation of payment either by voluntary or involuntary
acts, or by 

  
 19 

 
operation of law, except by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person other than the
parties, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns, any rights, benefits, or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 

21. Assumption by Successor. Employer shall require any successor or assignee (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation, contribution, assignment, restructuring or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business and/or assets of Employer, by agreement in writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, expressly,
absolutely, and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Employer would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. If Employer fails to obtain
such agreement by the effective time of any such succession or assignment, such failure shall be considered Good Reason; provided, however, that the compensation to which the Executive would be entitled upon a termination for Good
Reason pursuant to Paragraph 8(f) shall be the sole remedy of the Executive for any failure by Employer to obtain such agreement. As used in this Agreement, “Employer” shall include any successor or assignee (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation, contribution, assignment, restructuring or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business and/or assets of Employer that executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Paragraph 21 or that otherwise
becomes obligated under this Agreement by operation of law. 
 22. Arbitration. All disputes and controversies
arising under or in connection with this Agreement other than requests for equitable relief pursuant to Paragraph 19 which may, at Employer’s option, be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction, shall be settled by arbitration conducted
before one arbitrator sitting in Dallas, Texas, or such other location agreed by the parties hereto, in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and the rules for expedited resolution of employment disputes of the American Arbitration Association
then is effect. The determination of the arbitrator shall be made within thirty days following the close of the hearing on any dispute or controversy and shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment may be entered on the award of the
arbitrator in any court having proper jurisdiction. 
 23. Costs of Proceedings. Except as expressly provided in
the next sentence, each party shall pay its own costs, legal, accounting and other fees and all other expenses associated with entering into and enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Employer shall pay to the Executive all reasonable legal fees
and expenses incurred by the Executive in successfully obtaining, enforcing or securing (i) any material right or benefit provided by this Agreement or (ii) any award or payment received in connection with the breach of such material right
or benefit. 
 24. Section 409A. 
 (a) To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement and any payment made hereunder shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or an exemption or exclusion therefrom,
and any related regulations or other guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service (“Section 409A of the Code”). The Executive acknowledges that he

  
 20 

 
has been advised to consult with an attorney and any other advisors of the Executive’s choice prior to executing this Agreement, and the Executive further acknowledges that, in entering into
this Agreement, he has not relied upon any representation or statement made by any agent or representative of Employer or its Affiliates that is not expressly set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any representation with
respect to the consequences or characterization (including for purpose of tax withholding and reporting) of the payment of any compensation or benefits hereunder under Section 409A of the Code and any similar sections of state tax law.
Notwithstanding any provision of any Employer Plan (as defined below) to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, any provision that would cause this Agreement or a payment,
distribution or other benefit hereunder to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A shall have no force or effect until amended in the least restrictive manner necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, which amendment may
be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code. 
 (b) No alienation, set-offs, etc. Neither the
Executive nor any creditor or beneficiary of the Executive shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under this Agreement or under any other plan, policy, arrangement or
agreement of or with Employer or any of its Affiliates (this Agreement and such other plans, policies, arrangements and agreements, the “Employer Plans”) to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to or for the benefit of the Executive under any Employer Plan
may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by the Executive to Employer or any of its Affiliates. 
 (c)
Possible six-month delay. If, at the time of the Executive’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Executive shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Code and using the identification methodology selected by Employer from time to time), and (ii) Employer shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable under an Employer Plan constitutes deferred compensation (within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then
Employer (or an Affiliate, as applicable) shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead accumulate such amount and pay it, without interest, on the first business day following the end of the sixth month
following such separation from service. 
 (d) Permissible Payments. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, the
Executive’s right to any payment under this Agreement shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments, as defined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A -2(b)(2). The Executive shall have no right to designate the date of any
payment hereunder. With respect to payments made under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A of the Code (and not excepted therefrom), it is intended that each payment is paid on a permissible distribution event and at a specified
time consistent with Section 409A of the Code. 
 (e) Reimbursements/In-Kind Benefits. All reimbursements and
in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the 

  
 21 

 
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or
during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement); (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind
benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (iv) the right to
reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 25. Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 

26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement among the parties concerning the subject matter hereof

 EXHIBIT A 
 GENERAL RELEASE 
 THIS GENERAL RELEASE is entered into among
Santander Consumer USA Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Employer”), Banco Santander, S.A., a Spanish sociedad anónima (together with Employer, the “Employer Group”), and Thomas G. Dundon (the
“Employee”) as of the              day of             . The Employer Group and the Employee agree
as follows: 
 1. Employment Status. The Employee’s employment with the Employer Group shall terminate
effective as of             ,         . 
 2. Payment and Benefits. Upon the effectiveness of this Release as set forth in Paragraphs 12 and 13 hereof, Employer shall provide the Employee with the payments and benefits set forth in
Paragraph 8 of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement among members of the Employer Group and the Employee, dated as of December 31, 2011 (as amended from time to time, the “Employment Agreement”). 

3. No Liability. This Release does not constitute an admission by the Employer Group, or any of their subsidiaries,
affiliates, divisions, trustees, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees, or by the Employee, of any unlawful acts or of any violation of federal, state or local laws. 

4. Employee Release. In consideration of the payments and benefits set forth in Paragraph 8 of the Employment Agreement,
the Employee for himself, his heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, “Employee Releasors”) does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the
Employer Group and each of their subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, successors, assigns, trustees, officers, directors, partners, agents, and former and current employees, including without limitation all persons acting by, through, under or in
concert with any of them (collectively, “Employer Releasees”), and each of them from any and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, remedies, actions, causes of
action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, whether pursuant to contract or in law or equity or otherwise and whether arising under any and
all federal, state, local, county and/or municipal statutes, regulations, rules, and/or ordinances, including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities
Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1962, Chapter 21 of the Texas Labor Code and Section 451 of the Texas Labor Code and/or claims under the Constitutions of the United States and/or the State of Texas or any
other unlawful criterion or circumstance, which Employee Releasors had, now have, or may have or claim to have in the future against each or any of the Employer Releasees by reason of any matter, cause or thing occurring, done or omitted to be done
from the beginning of the world until the date of the execution of this Release (the “Employee Released Claims”); provided, however, that nothing herein shall release Employer from

  
 2 

 
(i) any obligation under Paragraphs 6(d), 6(e), 8, 17 or 23 of the Employment Agreement, (ii) any right of indemnification or to director and officer liability insurance coverage under any
Employer organizational documents or at law under any plan or agreement and applicable to the Employee or (iii) any obligations or restrictions under the Dundon Investment Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Shareholders Agreement (as such
terms are defined in the Employment Agreement) and nothing herein shall impair the right or ability of any party thereto to enforce such provisions in accordance with the terms of the Dundon Investment Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the
Shareholders Agreement. 
 Nothing in this Release is intended to interfere with the Employee’s right to make a complaint
or claim with a federal or state administrative agency including, for example, the National Labor Relations Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the Texas Workforce Commission. However, by executing this Release, the Employee hereby
waives the right to recover in any proceeding that the Employee may bring before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any federal or state administrative agency or in any proceeding brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or
any state human rights commission on the Employee’s behalf. In addition, this release is not intended to interfere with the Employee’s right to challenge that his waiver of any and all AREA claims pursuant to this Release is a knowing and
voluntary waiver, notwithstanding the Employee’s specific representation to the Employer Group that he has entered into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and that he has been advised by the Employer Group to consult with an attorney of
his choice regarding same. 
 5. Employer Release. The Employer Group on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries,
affiliates, divisions, successors, assigns, officers, directors, agents, partners and current and former employees (collectively, the “Employer Releasors” and together with the Employee Releasors, the “Releasing
Parties”) agrees to and does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the Employee, and his heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Employee Releasees”), with respect to and from any and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, remedies, causes of action, suits, rights, demands,
costs, losses, debts, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of any kind whatsoever, known or unknown, whether in law or equity and whether arising under federal, state or local law, which the Releasors had, now have, or may have or
claim to have in the future against each or any of the Employee Releasees by reason of any matter, course or thing whatsoever from the beginning of the world until the date of execution of this Release (the “Employer Released
Claims” and, together with the Employee Released Claims, the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that nothing herein shall release the Employee from (i) obligations or restrictions arising under
or referred to or described in the Employment Agreement and nothing herein shall impair the right or ability of Employer to enforce such provisions in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, (ii) any claims arising out of the
Employee’s fraud or willful misconduct in connection with the conduct of the business of the Employer Group or (iii) any obligations or restrictions under the Dundon Investment Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Shareholders
Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement) and nothing herein shall impair the right or ability of any party thereto to enforce such provisions in accordance with the terms of the Dundon Investment Agreement, the Purchase
Agreement or the Shareholders Agreement.

 6. No Additional Facts; Bar. Each of the Releasing Parties hereby expressly
waives any rights such Releasing Party may have under the statutes of any jurisdiction or common law principles of similar effect, to preserve Released Claims that such Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in such Releasing Party’s
favor at the time of executing this Release. Each of the Releasing Parties understands and acknowledges that it may discover facts different from, or in addition to, those which it knows or believes to be true with respect to the claims released
herein, and agrees that this release shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any subsequent discovery of different and/or additional facts. Should any Releasing Party discover that any fact relied upon in entering into this
release was untrue, or that any fact was concealed, or that an understanding of the facts or law was incorrect, no Releasing Party shall be entitled to any relief as a result thereof, and the undersigned surrenders any rights it might have to
rescind this release on any ground. This release is intended to be and is final and binding regardless of any claim of misrepresentation, promise made with the intention of performing, concealment of fact, mistake of law, or any other circumstances
whatsoever. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that if he should hereafter make any claim or demand or commence or threaten to commence any action, claim or proceeding against the Employer Releasees with respect to any cause, matter or thing which
is the subject of the release under Paragraph 4 of this Release, this Release may be raised as a complete bar to any such action, claim or proceeding, and the applicable Employer Releasee may recover from the Employee all costs incurred in
connection with such action, claim or proceeding, including attorneys’ fees. The Employer Group acknowledges and agrees that if it should hereafter make any claim or demand or commence or threaten to commence any action, claim or proceeding
against any of the Employee Releasees with respect to any cause, matter or thing which is the subject of the release under Paragraph 5 of this Release, this Release may be raised as a complete bar to any such action, claim or proceeding, and the
applicable Employee Releasee may recover from Employer all costs incurred in connection with such action, claim or proceeding, including attorneys’ fees. 
 7. Restrictive Covenants. The Employee acknowledges that the provisions of Paragraphs 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the Employment Agreement shall continue to apply pursuant to their terms
notwithstanding the termination of the Employment Agreement. 
 8. No Assignment of Released Claims. Each
Releasing Party represents and warrants to the Released Parties that there has been no assignment or other transfer of any interest in any Released Claim. 
 9. Severability. If any provision of this Release is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Release will remain in full force and
effect. Any provision of this Release held invalid or unenforceable only in part of degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. 

10. Amendment. This Release may not be amended, modified or waived except in a writing signed by the party against whom any
such amendment, modification or waiver is sought to be enforced. 
 11. Governing Law. This Release shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

consider entering into this Release. 
 13. Revocation. The Employee has a period of seven (7) days following
the execution of this Release during which the Employee may revoke this Release, and this Release shall not become effective or enforceable until such revocation period has expired. lf, within the ten (10) day period following such expiration,
Employer or Parent fails to execute this Release, then this Release shall become null and void and have no force or effect.
