(approved by the Company's shareholders on January 28, 2016)
1.Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of this Pioneer Bancshares, Inc. 2015 Equity Plan (this "Plan") are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentives to selected Employees, Directors and Consultants and to promote the success of the Company's business. The Plan provides for the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares and Other Stock-Based Awards.

U.S. federal and state securities laws, U.S. federal law, the code, the laws of Texas, and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Common Stock may then be listed or quote and the applicable laws of any other country or jurisdiction where Awards are, or shall be, granted under the Plan.  For all purposes of this Plan, references to statutes and regulations shall be deemed to include any successor statutes or regulations, to the extent reasonably appropriate as determined by the Administrator.

(ii)the consummation of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition by the Company or the Bank of all or substantially all of the assets of either the Company or the Bank to any third party other than (A) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale or (B) to a corporation or other entity owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the common stock of the consolidation or corporate reorganization which does not result in a Change in Control as defined herein;

The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to all Awards under the Plan shall increase annually on the first day of each fiscal year following the adoption of the Plan by Thirty Thousand (30,000) Shares. Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash. Upon payment in Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Award, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced only by the number of Shares actually issued in such payment. If a Participant pays the exercise price (or purchase price, if applicable) of an Award through the tender of Shares, or if Shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company, the number of Shares so 
7

tendered or withheld shall again be available for issuance pursuant to future Awards under the Plan.
(b)Lapsed Awards. If any outstanding Award expires or is terminated or canceled without having been exercised or settled in full, or if Shares acquired pursuant to an Award subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company, the Shares allocable to the terminated portion of the Award or the forfeited or repurchased Shares shall again be available for grant under the Plan.
(c)Share Reserve. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
(d)Shares under Plans of Acquired Companies. Shares issued or transferred pursuant to an Award granted in substitution for outstanding awards, or in connection with assumed awards, previously granted by a company or other entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines, shall not count against the limits in the first sentence of Section 3(a) hereof.
4.Administration of the Plan.
(a)Procedure. 
(i)Multiple Administrative Bodies. Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan.
(ii)Section 162(m). To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable and necessary to qualify Awards granted under this Plan as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more Outside Directors.
(iii)Rule 16b-3. If a transaction is intended to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, it shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.
(iv)Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee constituted to satisfy Applicable Law.
(v)Delegation of Authority for Day-to-Day Administration. Except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law, the Administrator may delegate to one or more individuals the day-to-day administration of the Plan and any of the functions assigned to it in this Plan. Such delegation may be revoked at any time.
8

(b)Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:
(i)to determine the Fair Market Value of Awards;
(ii)to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;
(iii)to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;
(iv)to approve the forms of Award Agreement for use under the Plan;
(v)to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder including, but not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on Performance Goals or other performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture or repurchase restrictions, any non-competition restrictions, and any other restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;
(vi)to reduce, with or without Participant consent, the exercise price of any Award to the then Fair Market Value (or higher value) if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Award shall have declined since the date the Award was granted;
(vii)to institute an Exchange Program;
(viii)to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to the creation and administration of sub-plans;
(ix)to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares or cash to be issued upon exercise or vesting of an Award that number of Shares or cash having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of any Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Participants to have Shares or cash withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;
(x)to amend the terms of any outstanding Award, including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercise period of Awards and accelerate the satisfaction of any vesting criteria or waiver of forfeiture or repurchase restrictions, provided that any amendment that would adversely affect the Participant's rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the Participant's written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an amendment shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Participant if the amendment causes an Incentive Stock Option to become a Nonstatutory Stock Option or if the amendment is made to the minimum extent necessary to avoid the adverse tax consequences of Section 409A of the Code;
9

(xi)to include a provision whereby the Participant may elect at any time while a Service Provider to exercise any part or all of the Option prior to full vesting of the Option, and any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Bank or the Company or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate;
(xii)to correct administrative errors;
(xiii)to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Award granted pursuant to the Plan;
(xiv)to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to the Participant under an Award;

(xvi)to determine whether Awards shall be adjusted for Dividend Equivalents;
(xvii)to create Other Stock-Based Awards for issuance under the Plan;
(xviii)to establish a program whereby Service Providers designated by the Administrator can reduce compensation otherwise payable in cash in exchange for Awards under the Plan;
(xix)to impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Shares issued as a result of or under an Award, including without limitation, (A) restrictions under an insider trading policy, and (B) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers;
(xx)to establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of Performance Goals or other performance criteria, or other event that absent the election, would entitle the Participant to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award; and
(xxi)to make any other determination and take any other action that the Administrator deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.
The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Administrator shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Administrator. However, the Administrator may not exercise any right or power reserved to the Board.
(c)Delegation of Authority to Officers. Subject to Applicable Law, the Administrator may delegate limited authority to specified officers of the Bank to execute on behalf of the Company and/or the Bank any instrument required to effect an Award previously granted by the Administrator.
10

(d)Effect of Administrator's Decision. All decisions, determinations, actions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Plan.
(e)Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as officers or Employees of the Company or the Bank, members of the Board and any officers or Employees of the Company to whom authority to act for the Board, the Administrator or the Company or the Bank is delegated shall be defended and indemnified by the Company or the Bank to the extent permitted by law. Such indemnification shall cover all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnification shall not include any matters to which it shall be adjudged in the claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding that the subject person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct; provided, however, that within thirty (30) days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company or the Bank, in writing, the opportunity at the Company's or the Bank's expense to defend the same.
5.Eligibility. 
(a)General Rule. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares, and Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.
(b)Shareholder with Ten-Percent Holdings. An Employee who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding securities of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary shall not be eligible for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option unless (i) the exercise price is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant, and (ii) the Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the Date of Grant. For purposes of this Section 5(b), in determining ownership of securities, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply.
6.Limitations for Incentive Stock Options. Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding a designation of an Option as an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds U.S. $100,000 (or such higher annual limit as may be set by the Code for Incentive Stock Options), such Options with respect to such Shares exceeding such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the Date of Grant.
11

7.Options. 
(a)Term of Option. The Award Agreement shall specify the term of the Option; provided, however, that the term shall not exceed ten (10) years from the Date of Grant, and a shorter term may be required by Section 5(b) hereof. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Administrator in its sole discretion shall determine when an Option is to expire.
(b)Exercise Price. Each Award Agreement shall specify the exercise price. The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Date of Grant, and a higher percentage may be required by Section 5(b) hereof. Subject to the preceding sentence, the exercise price under any Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The exercise price shall be payable in accordance with Section 7(d) hereof and the applicable Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or in Section 5(b), in the event of a transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code, then, consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code, Incentive Stock Options may be issued at an exercise price other than as required by the foregoing and Section 5(b).
(c)Exercisability. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the satisfaction of such conditions at any time.
(d)Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant.
(i)General Rule. The entire exercise price for Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when the Shares are purchased, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7(d).
(ii)Services Rendered. At the sole discretion of the Administrator and to the extent so provided in the agreements evidencing Awards of Shares under the Plan, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary prior to the Award.
(iii)Net Exercise. At the sole discretion of the Administrator, consideration may be paid in the form of a "net exercise," such that, without the payment of any funds, the Participant may exercise the Option and receive the net number of Shares equal to (A) the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per Share (on such date as is determined by the Administrator) less the exercise price per Share, and the denominator of which is such Fair Market Value per Share (the number of net Shares to be received shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares);
12

(iv)Other Forms of Consideration. At the sole discretion of the Administrator, all or a portion of the exercise price may be paid by any other form of consideration and method of payment to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, including through the tender of other Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price per Share.
(e)Exercise Procedure. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as may be determined by the Administrator and as set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that an Option shall not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
(i)An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives (A) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option and (B) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (including provision for any applicable tax withholding). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator in accordance with Section 7(d) hereof and permitted by the Award Agreement.
(ii)Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Awarded Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement.
(iii)Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares thereafter available for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
(f)Termination of Service (other than by death).
(i)If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason other than death, then the Participant's Options shall expire on the earlier of:
(A)The expiration date determined by Section 7(a) hereof;
(B)The ninetieth (90th) day following the termination of the Participant's relationship as a Service Provider for any reason other than Disability or Cause, or such other date as the Administrator may determine and specify in the Award Agreement; provided that no Option that is exercised after the ninetieth (90th) day following the termination of the Participant's relationship as an Employee for any reason other than Disability or Cause shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option;
13

(C)The last day of the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Participant's relationship as a Service Provider by reason of Disability, or such other date as the Administrator may determine and specify in the Award Agreement; provided that no Option that is exercised after the last day of the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Participant's relationship as an Employee shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option; or
(D)The Participant's date of the termination as a Service Provider if such termination is for Cause.
(ii)Following the termination of the Participant's relationship as a Service Provider, the Participant may exercise all or any part of the Participant's Option at any time before the expiration of the Option as set forth in Section 7(f)(i) hereof, but only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable as of the date of termination of the Participant's relationship as a Service Provider (or became vested and exercisable as a result of the termination). Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If the Participant does not exercise his Option as to all of the vested Shares within the time specified by the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and the remaining Shares covered by the Option shall revert to the Plan.
(iii)In the event that the Participant dies after the termination of the Participant's relationship as a Service Provider but before the expiration of the Participant's Option as set forth in Section 7(f)(i) hereof, all or part of the Option may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Participant's estate or by any person who has acquired the Option directly from the Participant by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable as of the termination date of the Participant's relationship as a Service Provider (or became vested and exercisable as a result of the termination). If the Option is not exercised as to all of the vested Shares within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the remaining Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(g)Death of Participant.
(i)If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, then the Participant's Option shall expire on the earlier of the following dates:
(A)The expiration date determined by Section 7(a) hereof; or
(B)The last day of the twelve (12) month period following the Participant's death, or such later date as the Administrator may determine and specify in the Award Agreement.
(ii)All or part of the Participant's Option may be exercised at any time before the expiration of the Option as set forth in Section 7(g)(i) hereof by the executors or administrators of the Participant's estate or by any person who has acquired the Option directly from the Participant by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable as of the date of the Participant's death or had become vested and exercisable as a result of the death. Any remaining Options that are unvested as of the 
14

date of the Participant's death, or that did not become vested and exercisable as a result of the Participant's death, shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant's death. If the Option is not exercised as to all of the vested Shares within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the remaining Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
8.Restricted Stock.
(a)Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine.
(b)Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on the Shares have lapsed.
(c)Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Award made under the Plan shall be released from escrow as soon as practical after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions shall lapse or be removed.
(d)Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.
(e)Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. If any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.
(f)Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed shall revert to the Company and again shall become available for grant under the Plan.
9.Stock Appreciation Rights
(a)Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a SAR may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Service Provider. The Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan, including the sole discretion to accelerate exercisability at any time.

15

(b)SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the exercise price, the term, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine.
(c)Expiration of SARs. A SAR granted under the Plan shall expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, as set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Sections 7(f) and 7(g) shall also apply to SARs.
(d)Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:
(i)The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times
(ii)The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.
(iii)At the sole discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon the exercise of a SAR may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.
10.Performance Units and Performance Shares.
(a)Grant of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Service Provider.
(b)Value of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value established by the Administrator on or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.
(c)Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator shall set Performance Goals or other performance objectives in its sole discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, shall determine the number or value of Performance Units and Performance Shares that shall be paid out to the Participant. Each award of Performance Units or Performance Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Performance Period and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator in its sole discretion shall determine. The Administrator may set Performance Goals or performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals (including solely continued service), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
(d)Earning of Performance Units and Performance Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units or Performance Shares shall be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding Performance Goals or performance objectives have been achieved. After the grant of Performance Units or Performance Shares, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives for the Performance Unit or Performance Share.
16

(e)Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units and Performance  Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units and Performance Shares shall be made after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period at the time determined by the Administrator. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units and Performance Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units or Performance Shares, as applicable, at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination of cash and Shares.
(f)Cancellation of Performance Units or Performance Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units and Performance Shares shall be forfeited to the Company, and again shall be available for grant under the Plan.
11.Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units shall consist of a Restricted Stock, Performance Share or Performance Unit Award that the Administrator, in its sole discretion permits to be paid out in a lump sum, installments or on a deferred basis, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator
12.Other Stock-Based Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. The Administrator shall have authority to determine the Service Providers to whom and the time or times at which Other Stock-Based Awards shall be made, the amount of such Other Stock-Based Awards, and all other conditions of the Other Stock-Based Awards, including any dividend or voting rights and whether the Award should be paid in cash.
13.Leaves of Absence. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and subject to Applicable Law, vesting of Awards granted under this Plan shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence and shall resume on the date the Participant returns to work on a regular schedule as determined by the Company; provided, however, that no vesting credit shall be awarded for the time vesting has been suspended during such leave of absence. A Service Provider shall not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no leave of absence may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not guaranteed by statute or contract, then at the end of three (3) months following the expiration of the leave of absence, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
14.Nontransferability of Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and provided in the applicable Award Agreement (or be amended to provide), no Award shall be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution or (except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. Upon any attempt to pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any Award or of any right or privilege conferred by this Plan contrary to the 
17

provisions hereof, or upon the sale, levy or attachment or similar process upon the rights and privileges conferred by this Plan, such Award shall thereupon terminate and become null and void. Awards may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.
15.Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control.
(a)Adjustments. In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or other non-recurring dividends or distributions, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of stock, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar corporate transaction that affects the Common Stock, an adjustment shall be made, as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. Such adjustment may include an adjustment to the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, the number, class and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, the number and class of Shares issuable pursuant to Options, and the numerical limits in Sections 3 and 6(b). Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number.
(b)Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise his or her Award, to the extent applicable, until fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed dissolution or liquidation as to all of the Awarded Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture rights applicable to any Award shall lapse 100%, and that any Award vesting shall accelerate 100%, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or vested, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
(c)Change in Control. This Section 15(c) shall apply except to the extent otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.
(i)Stock Options and SARs. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Option and SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent option or SAR substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, if the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or SAR, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option or SAR as to all of the Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or SAR is not assumed or substituted on the Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or SAR shall be exercisable, to the extent vested, for a period of up to fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or SAR shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this Section 15(c)(i), the Option or SAR shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the option or SAR confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Awarded Stock subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether securities, cash, or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction 
18

(and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares). However, if the consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or SAR, for each share of Awarded Stock subject to the Option or SAR, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned, or is paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance objectives shall not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of the performance objectives without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to performance objectives only to reflect the successor corporation's post-Change in Control corporate structure shall not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.
(ii)Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units,  Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share, Performance Unit, and Other Stock-Based Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share, Performance Unit, and Other Stock-Based Award shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, if the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant shall fully vest in the Award, including as to Shares or Units that would not otherwise be vested, all applicable restrictions shall lapse, and all performance objectives and other vesting criteria shall be deemed achieved at targeted levels. For the purposes of this Section 15(c)(ii), an Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, and Other Stock-Based Awards shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control (and if a Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Unit, for each Share as determined based on the then current value of the unit), the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares). However, if the consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide that the consideration to be received for each Share (and if a Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Unit, for each Share as determined based on the then current value of the unit) be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned, or is paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance objectives shall not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of the performance objectives without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to the performance objectives only to reflect the successor corporation's post-Change in Control corporate structure shall not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.
19

(iii)Outside Director Awards. Notwithstanding any provision of Sections 15(c)(i) or 15(c)(ii) to the contrary, with respect to Awards granted to an Outside Director that are assumed or substituted for, if on the date of or following the assumption or substitution, the Participant's status as a Director or a director of the successor corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant, then the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise his Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as to all of the Award, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, and all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, shall lapse, and, with respect to Performance Shares, Performance Units, and Other Stock-Based Awards, all performance goals and other vesting criteria shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met.
(d)Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 15 and in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of (i) any subdivision or consolidation of Shares or other securities of any class, (ii) the payment of any dividend, or (iii) any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares or other securities of any class. Any issuance by the Company of equity securities of any class, or securities convertible into equity securities of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or exercise price of Shares. The grant of an Award shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
16.Date of Grant. The Date of Grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant the Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that the Date of Grant of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no earlier than the date on which the Service Provider becomes an Employee. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each participant within reasonable time after the date of such grant.
17.Board and Shareholder Approval; Term of Plan. 
(a)Approval by Shareholders. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such approval by shareholders of the Company shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Law.
(b)Term of the Plan. Subject to approval by shareholders of the Company in accordance with Section 17(a) hereof, the Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the Company as described in Section 17(a) hereof. In the event that the shareholders of the Company fail to approve the Plan within twelve (12) months prior to or after its adoption by the Board, any Options that have been granted and any Shares that have been awarded or purchased under the Plan shall be rescinded, and no additional Options shall be granted thereafter. Unless sooner terminated under Section 18 hereof, the Plan shall continue in effect until the date that all Shares issuable under the Plan have been purchased or acquired in accordance with the Plan; provided, however, that in no event may any Options be granted under the Plan more than ten (10) years after the earlier of the date on 
20

which the Plan is adopted by the Board or the date on which the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company.
18.Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
(a)Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall obtain approval of the shareholders of any Plan amendment if required by Applicable Law.
(b)Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall materially and adversely impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator shall have unilateral authority to amend an Award, without Participant consent, to the minimum extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code and such amendment shall not be deemed to materially impair the rights of such Participant.
19.Conditions upon issuance of shares.
(a)Legal Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any agreement entered into by the Company or the Bank pursuant to the Plan, neither the Company nor the Bank shall be obligated, and shall have no liability for failure to deliver any Shares under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all Applicable Law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, U.S. state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company's securities may then be traded, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(b)Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise or receipt of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising or receiving the Award to represent and warrant at the time any such exercise or receipt that the Shares are being acquired only for investment purposes and without any present intention to sell, transfer, or distribute the Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such representation is required.
(c)Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Participant or other person until the Participant or other person has made arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income and employment tax withholding obligations, including without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares. Upon exercise or vesting of an Award, the Company shall withhold or collect from the Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, including, but not limited to, by surrender of the whole number of Shares covered by the Award sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding obligations incident to the exercise or vesting of an Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the exercise or settlement of any Award, the Company or the Bank shall have the right to withhold taxes from any compensation or other amounts that the Bank may owe to the Participant, or to require the Participant to pay to 
21

the Company or the Bank the amount of any taxes that the Company or the Bank may be required to withhold with respect to the Shares issued to the Participant.
20.Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or an Award to the contrary, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan or the Awards shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan or Award, as applicable, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
21.Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
22.No Rights as a Service Provider. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her relationship as a Service Provider with the Bank or the Company for any period of specific duration or interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Bank or the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Participant), which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.
23.Unfunded Obligation. This Section 23 shall only apply to Awards that are not settled in Shares. Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Parent or Subsidiary shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations under this Plan. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust for any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary and Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant's creditors in any assets of the Company or Parent or Subsidiary. The Participants shall have no claim against the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.
24.No Rights to Awards. No Participant, eligible Service Provider, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of a Service Provider, Participant, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different Participants.
22

25.No Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by an Award until the Participant becomes the record owner of the Shares.
26.Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.
27.Governing Law. The Plan, all Award Agreements, and all related matters, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to choice of law principles that direct the application of the laws of another state.
28.Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any agreement to the contrary, Awards granted under the Plan will expire or be forfeited, to the extent not exercised or settled, within forty-five (45) days following the receipt of notice from the Company's and/or the Bank's primary federal or state regulator ("Regulator") that (i) the Company and/or the Bank has not maintained its minimum capital requirements (as determined by the Regulator); and (ii) the Regulator is requiring termination or forfeiture of the Awards. Upon receipt of such notice from the Regulator, the Company and/or the Bank will promptly notify each Participant that such Awards have become fully exercisable and vested to the full extent of the grant and that the Participant must exercise the Award or the Award must be settled, as applicable, prior to the end of the 45-day period or such earlier period as may be specified by the Regulator or the Participant will forfeit such Awards. In case of forfeiture, no Participant will have a cause of action, of any kind or nature, with respect to the forfeiture against the Company, the Bank or any Parent or Subsidiary. None of the Company, the Bank, or any Parent or Subsidiary will be liable to any Participant due to the failure or inability of the Company and/or the Bank to provide adequate notice to the Participant.
29.Section 409A. It is the intention of the Company that no Award shall be "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless and to the extent that the Administrator specifically determines otherwise, and the Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted accordingly. The following rules shall apply to Awards intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code ("409A Awards"):
(a)Any distribution of a 409A Award following a separation from service that would be subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code as a distribution following a separation from service of a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) shall occur no earlier than the expiration of the six-month period following such separation from service.
(b)In the case of a 409A Award providing for distribution or settlement upon vesting or lapse of a risk of forfeiture, if the time of such distribution or settlement is not otherwise specified in the Plan or Award Agreement or other governing document, the distribution or settlement shall be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such 409A Award vested or the risk of forfeiture lapsed.
(c)In the case of any distribution of any other 409A Award, if the timing of such distribution is not otherwise specified in the Plan or Award Agreement or other governing 
23

document, the distribution shall be made not later than the end of the calendar year during which the settlement of the 409A Award is specified to occur.
30.Construction. Headings in this Plan are included for convenience and shall not be considered in the interpretation of the Plan. References to sections are to Sections of this Plan unless otherwise indicated. Pronouns shall be construed to include the masculine, feminine, neutral, singular or plural as the identity of the antecedent may require. This Plan shall be construed according to its fair meaning and shall not be strictly construed against the Company.
31.Compensation Recoupment. All compensation and Awards payable or paid under the Plan and any sub-plans shall be subject to the Company's ability to recover incentive-based compensation from executive officers, as is required by the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, any regulations or rules promulgated thereunder, or any other "clawback" provision required by Applicable Law or the listing standards of any applicable stock exchange or national market system.

This RESIGNATION FROM EMPLOYMENT
(this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between ProPetro Services Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”),

as of March 31, 2022 (the “Separation Date”);

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish
to amend equity awards granted to Gobe in connection with his termination of employment so that he may have the opportunity to receive
settlement of or earn, as the case may be, such awards as set forth in this Agreement, which amendments are conditioned upon Gobe’s
timely execution of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish
to resolve any and all claims or causes of action that the Parties have or may have against each other, including any claims or causes
of action that Gobe may have arising out of Gobe’s employment or end of such employment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the promises and benefits set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by Gobe and the Company, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.             Separation
from Employment; Deemed Resignations. The Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the Separation Date, Gobe is no longer employed
by the Company. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that, as of the Separation Date, Gobe was automatically be deemed to have resigned,
to the extent applicable, (i) as an officer of the Parent, the Company and each of their respective Affiliates (as defined below) for
which Gobe served as an officer and (ii) from the board of directors or board of managers (or similar governing body) of any corporation,
limited liability entity, unlimited liability entity, or other entity in which the Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates
holds an equity interest and with respect to which board of directors or board of managers (or similar governing body) Gobe served as
the Parent’s, Company’s or such other subsidiary’s member’s designee or other representative; for the avoidance
of doubt this (ii) shall not include resignation from the Board of Directors of the Parent (the “Board”) and,
following the Separation Date, Gobe shall serve as non-executive Chairman of the Board.

  

2.             Separation Payment. Provided that Gobe (x) executes this Agreement and returns a signed copy of it to the Company,
care of Newton W. “Trey” Wilson III, ProPetro Holding Corp., 1706 S. Midkiff, Bldg. B, Midland, Texas 79701 (e-mail: trey.wilson@propetroservices.com),
so that it is received no earlier than the Separation Date and no later than the close of business on the date that is twenty-one (21)
days after Gobe receives this Agreement, and it is not subsequently revoked by Gobe in accordance with Section 5 and (y) satisfies the
other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Gobe shall receive the following consideration:

 

(a)            All
restricted stock units granted on each of October 7, 2019, February 11, 2020, and March 13, 2020 to Gobe under the ProPetro Holding Corp.
2017 Incentive Award Plan (the “2017 Plan”) and on February 17, 2021 to Gobe under the ProPetro Holding Corp.
2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and, in each case, outstanding as of the Separation Date (the
 “RSUs”) will be deemed to be amended immediately prior to the Separation Date to provide that such awards shall
vest on the Separation Date and shall be settled following the date that this Agreement becomes irrevocable but no later than thirty
days following the Separation Date;

 

     

     

    

 

(b)           All
performance share units granted on each of February 11, 2020, and March 13, 2020 to Gobe under the 2017 Plan and on February 17, 2021
to Gobe under the 2020 Plan and, in each case, outstanding as of the Separation Date (the “PSUs”) will be deemed
to be amended immediately prior to the Separation Date to provide (i) that the service requirement associated with such awards will be
deemed to be fulfilled as of the Separation Date; provided, however, that the PSUs will remain outstanding and the number of PSUs that
actually vest (i.e., between 0% and 200% of such target number) will be determined based on the Parent’s actual performance as
compared to the performance metrics outlined in the applicable award agreement over the relevant performance period and such vested PSUs,
if any, shall be settled at the time originally specified in the applicable award agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the vesting
and timing of settlement with respect to the PSUs would not be impacted by the death of Mr. Gobe following the Separation Date.

 

Gobe acknowledges and agrees
that the consideration described in this Section 2 represents the entirety of the amounts Gobe is eligible to receive as severance pay
from the Company, the Parent or any other Company Party, including under the 2017 Plan, the 2020 Plan and the ProPetro Services, Inc.
Second Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan. Gobe acknowledges that he is aware of the ongoing obligations he will have under
the Parent’s Insider Trading Policy, applicable securities laws and any other applicable requirements related to any trading in
the Parent’s securities. Gobe further acknowledges that he shall be eligible to receive compensation for his service on the Board
following the Separation Date, consistent with the terms of the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy.

 

3.             Complete
Release of Claims.

 

(a)            In exchange for the consideration received by Gobe herein, which consideration Gobe was not entitled to but for Gobe’s entry
into this Agreement, Gobe hereby releases, discharges and forever acquits the Company, Parent, and their respective Affiliates (as defined
below) and subsidiaries, and each of the foregoing entities’ respective past, present and future members, partners (including general
partners and limited partners), directors, trustees, officers, managers, employees, agents, attorneys, heirs, legal representatives, insurers,
benefit plans (and their fiduciaries, administrators and trustees), and the successors and assigns of the foregoing, in their personal
and representative capacities (collectively, the “Company Parties”), from liability for, and hereby waives,
any and all claims, damages, or causes of action of any kind related to Gobe’s ownership of any interest in any Company Party, Gobe’s
employment with any Company Party, the termination of such employment, and any other acts or omissions related to any matter occurring
on or prior to the date that Gobe executes this Agreement, including (i) any alleged violation through such date of: (A) any federal,
state or local anti-discrimination law or anti-retaliation law, regulation or ordinance including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as amended and the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended; (B) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; (C) the Immigration Reform
Control Act, as amended; (D) the National Labor Relations Act, as amended; (E) the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended; (F)
the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; (G) the Texas Labor Code (specifically including the Texas Payday Law, the Texas Anti-Retaliation
Act, Chapter 21 of the Texas Labor Code, and the Texas Whistleblower Act); (H) any federal, state or local wage and hour law; (I) the
Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; (J) any other local, state or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or (K) any
public policy, contract, tort, or common law claim; (ii) any allegation for costs, fees, or other expenses including attorneys’
fees incurred in or with respect to a Released Claim; (iii) any and all rights, benefits or claims Gobe may have under any employment
contract, severance plan, incentive compensation plan, or equity based plan with any Company Party (including any award agreement) or
to any ownership interest in any Company Party, including the 2017 Plan, the 2020 Plan and the ProPetro Services, Inc. Second Amended
and Restated Executive Severance Plan; and (iv) any claim for compensation or benefits of any kind not expressly set forth in this Agreement
(collectively, the “Released Claims”). This Agreement is not intended to indicate that any such claims exist
or that, if they do exist, they are meritorious. Rather, Gobe is simply agreeing that, in exchange for any consideration received by him
pursuant to Section 2, any and all potential claims of this nature that Gobe may have against the Company Parties, regardless of whether
they actually exist, are expressly settled, compromised and waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Released Claims do not include
(I) any rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses incurred in connection with the same, or directors’ and officers’
liability insurance coverage that Gobe has under Delaware law, the charter, bylaws, other organizational documents and insurance policies
of any Company Party or any agreement with any Company Party; and (II) any rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including those
in Section 2(a) of this Agreement related to incentive compensation and equity. THIS RELEASE INCLUDES MATTERS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SOLE
OR PARTIAL NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER GROSS OR SIMPLE) OR OTHER FAULT, INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OF ANY OF THE COMPANY PARTIES.

 

    2 

     

    

 

For purposes of this Agreement,
 “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any Person (as defined below), any other Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such Person where “control” shall have the meaning given such term
under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person”
shall mean any individual, natural person, corporation (including any non-profit corporation), general partnership, limited partnership,
limited liability partnership, joint venture, estate, trust, company (including any company limited by shares, limited liability company,
or joint stock company), incorporated or unincorporated association, governmental authority, firm, society or other enterprise, organization,
or other entity of any nature.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding
this release of liability, nothing in this Agreement prevents Gobe from filing any non-legally waivable claim (including a challenge
to the validity of this Agreement) with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or comparable
state or local agency or participating in (or cooperating with) any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or comparable state
or local agency or cooperating in any such investigation or proceeding; however, Gobe understands and agrees that Gobe is waiving any
and all rights to recover any monetary or personal relief or recovery from a Company Party as a result of such EEOC or comparable state
or local agency or proceeding or subsequent legal actions. Further, nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts Gobe from filing
a charge or complaint with, or cooperating in any investigation with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, or any other securities regulatory agency or authority (each, a “Government Agency”).
This Agreement does not limit Gobe’s right to receive an award for information provided to a Government Agency. Further, in no
event shall the Released Claims include (i) any claim which arises after the date that this Agreement is executed by Gobe or (ii) any
claim to vested benefits under an employee benefit plan. Finally, the Released Claims shall not include the Company’s obligations
or Gobe’s rights under the Indemnification Agreement dated October 4, 2019 between the Company and Gobe, which shall continue in
full force and effect notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement.

 

(c)            Gobe
hereby represents and warrants that, as of the time Gobe executes this Agreement, Gobe has not brought or joined any lawsuit or filed
any charge or claim against any of the Company Parties in any court or before any Government Agency or arbitrator for or with respect
to a matter, claim, or incident that occurred or arose out of one or more occurrences that took place on or prior to the time at which
Gobe signs this Agreement. Gobe warrants and represents that (i) he is the sole owner of each and every claim, cause of action, and right
compromised, settled, released or assigned pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement and has not previously assigned, sold, transferred,
conveyed, or encumbered same; (ii) he has the full right, power, capacity, and authority to enter into and execute this Agreement; and
(iii) he fully understands this Agreement releases any and all past claims regardless of whether he is now aware of such claims.

 

    3 

     

    

 

4.                 
Gobe’s Representations.

 

(a)            Gobe represents that Gobe has received all leaves (paid and unpaid) that Gobe was owed or could be owed by the Company as of the
date that Gobe executes this Agreement.

 

(b)           By
executing and delivering this Agreement, Gobe expressly acknowledges that:

 

(i)             Gobe
has carefully read this Agreement;

 

(ii)            No
material changes have been made to this Agreement since it was first provided to Gobe and Gobe has had at least 21 days to consider this
Agreement before the execution and delivery hereof to Company;

 

(iii)           Gobe is receiving, pursuant to this Agreement, consideration in addition to anything of value to which he is already entitled,
and Gobe is not otherwise entitled to such additional consideration as set forth in this Agreement, but for his entry into this Agreement;

 

(iv)            
Gobe has been advised, and hereby is advised in writing, to discuss this Agreement with an attorney of Gobe’s choice and
Gobe has had an adequate opportunity to do so prior to executing this Agreement;

 

(v)            Gobe
fully understands the final and binding effect of this Agreement; the only promises made to Gobe to sign this Agreement are those stated
herein; and Gobe is signing this Agreement knowingly, voluntarily and of Gobe’s own free will, and that Gobe understands and agrees
to each of the terms of this Agreement;

 

(vi)           The
only matters relied upon by Gobe and causing Gobe to sign this Agreement are the provisions set forth in writing within the four corners
of this Agreement; and

 

(vii)          No
Company Party has provided any tax or legal advice regarding this Agreement and Gobe has had an adequate opportunity to receive sufficient
tax and legal advice from advisors of Gobe’s own choosing such that Gobe enters into this Agreement with full understanding of
the tax and legal implications thereof.

 

(c)            Other
than matters previously disclosed to the Board and outside auditors, Gobe is not aware of any material act or omission on the part of
any Company employee (including Gobe), director (including directors of the Parent) or agent that may have violated any applicable law
or regulation or otherwise exposed the Company or any other Company Party to any liability, whether criminal or civil, whether to any
government, individual, shareholder or other entity.

 

    4 

     

    

 

5.             Revocation
Right.Notwithstanding the initial effectiveness of this Agreement, Gobe may revoke the delivery (and therefore the
effectiveness) of this Agreement within the seven-day period beginning on the date Gobe executes this Agreement (such seven day period
being referred to herein as the “Release Revocation Period”). To be effective, such revocation must be in writing
signed by Gobe and must be received by the Company, care of Newton W. “Trey” Wilson III, ProPetro Holding Corp., 1706 S.
Midkiff, Bldg. B, Midland, Texas 79701 before 11:59 p.m., central time, on the last day of the Release Revocation Period. If an effective
revocation is delivered in the foregoing manner and timeframe, the release of claims set forth in Section 3 above will be of no force
or effect, Gobe will not receive the consideration set forth in Section 2 above, and the remainder of this Agreement will be in full
force and effect.

 

6.             Affirmation
of Restrictive Covenants.Gobe acknowledges and agrees that he has continuing obligations to the Parent and each of its Affiliates,
including obligations with respect to confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement, pursuant to the award
agreements documenting each of the PSUs and the RSUs. In entering into this Agreement, Gobe specifically acknowledges the validity, binding
effect, and enforceability of (a) Article III of the award agreements documenting the RSUs granted under the 2017 Plan, (b) Article IV
of the award agreements documenting the PSUs granted under the 2017 Plan, and (c) Section 7 of the award agreement documenting the RSUs
and PSUs granted under the 2020 Plan, in each case, as clarified by the following sentence. The Parent acknowledges and agrees that the
only business activities restricted by the non-competition covenants set forth in the award agreements documenting the RSUs and the PSUs
are those activities relating to pressure pumping, cementing and coil tubing in the oilfield services industry (the “Restricted
Services”). For the avoidance of doubt, Gobe’s involvement with any exploration and production company or other oilfield
services company that does not provide such Restricted Services shall not constitute a violation of any continuing obligations.

 

    5 

     

    

 

7.             Non-Disparagement.
Gobe shall refrain from publishing any oral or written statements about the Company or any Company Party that (a) are slanderous, libelous,
or defamatory, (b) disclose confidential information of or regarding the Company’s or any Company Party’s business affairs,
directors, officers, managers, members, employees, consultants, agents, or representatives, or (c) place the Company, any Company Party,
or any of their respective directors, officers, managers, members, employees, consultants, agents, or representatives in a false light
before the public. Nothing herein limits Gobe from cooperating with any investigation by any Government Agency or from making any disclosure
required by applicable law or legal process. Conversely, the Company will instruct its officers and directors to refrain from publishing
any oral or written statements about Gobe that (i) are slanderous, libelous or defamatory, (ii) are otherwise likely to damage the personal
or professional reputation of Gobe, or (iii) place him in a false light before the public. Nothing herein limits the Company or any Company
Party from cooperating with any investigation by any Government Agency, from making any disclosure necessary or appropriate under applicable
securities laws or from making any disclosure required by applicable law or legal process.

 

8.             No Waiver. No failure by any Party hereto at any time to give notice of any breach by any other Party of, or to require
compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions
at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

 

9.             Applicable
Law. This Agreement is entered into under, and shall be governed for all purposes by, the laws of the State of Texas without
reference to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 

10.           Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties agree that any term or provision (or part thereof)
of this Agreement that renders such term or provision (or part thereof) or any other term or provision of this Agreement (or part thereof)
invalid or unenforceable in any respect shall be modified to the extent necessary to avoid rendering such term or provision (or part thereof)
invalid or unenforceable, and such modification shall be accomplished in the manner that most nearly preserves the benefit of the Parties’
bargain hereunder.

 

11.          
Withholding of Taxes and Other Employee Deductions. The Company may withhold from any payments made pursuant to Section
2 hereof all federal, state, local, and other taxes and withholdings as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation
or ruling.

 

12.           Arbitration.
Any dispute or controversy based on, arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration,
conducted before a single neutral arbitrator in Houston, Texas in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures
of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect. Arbitration may be compelled, and judgment
may be entered on the arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company shall be
entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation
of the provisions of (a) Article III of the award agreements documenting the RSUs, (b) Article IV of the award agreements documenting
the PSUs, in each case of clauses (a) and (b), pursuant to which awards were granted to Gobe under the Incentive Plan, or (c) Section
7 of this Agreement, and Gobe hereby consents that such restraining order or injunction may be granted without requiring the Company
to post a bond. Only individuals who are (i) lawyers engaged full-time in the practice of law and (ii) on the AAA roster of arbitrators
shall be selected as an arbitrator. Within 20 days of the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall prepare written
findings of fact and conclusions of law. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees in connection with an arbitration;
provided that the Company shall bear the cost of the arbitrator and the AAA’s administrative fees. Further notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Dispute or any element thereof cannot, as a matter of law, be subject to arbitration pursuant to this Section 8, then
(i) such non-arbitrable element(s) of such Dispute shall be severable from the arbitration procedure set forth in this Section 12, and
(ii) all other elements of the Dispute shall remain subject to the arbitration procedure set forth in this Section 12.

 

    6 

     

    

 

13.           Continued Cooperation. Following the Separation Date, Gobe will provide the Company and, as applicable, the other
Company Parties, with assistance, when reasonably requested by the Company, with respect to any matters related to Gobe’s job responsibilities
and otherwise providing information Gobe obtained during the provision of the duties Gobe performed for the Company and the other Company
Parties, subject to reimbursement of Gobe’s reasonable expenses incurred in complying with such requests for assistance. In no event,
however, shall Gobe be required to provide more than twenty percent (20%) of the services he provided prior to the Separation Date.

 

14.           Reasonable Assistance with Claims. Gobe shall provide reasonable assistance to the Company and any other Company
Party and its counsel in any litigation or accounting matters in which such Gobe may be a witness or potential witness or with respect
to which such Gobe may have knowledge of relevant facts or evidence, subject to reimbursement of Gobe’s reasonable expenses incurred
in complying with such requests for assistance.

 

15.           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including portable document format (.pdf)
and facsimile counterparts), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same
Agreement.

 

16.           Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and each other Company Party that
is not a signatory hereto, as each other Company Party that is not a signatory hereto shall be a third-party beneficiary of Gobe’s
release of claims, representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement.

 

17.           Section
409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) Gobe’s termination of employment on the Separation Date is intended
to constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Department of Treasury Regulations
and (b) it is the intent of the Parties that the amounts deliverable pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement constitute “nonqualified
deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the applicable
Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) or will otherwise
be settled in a manner compliant with Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments
and benefits provided under this Agreement are compliant with Section 409A, and in no event shall Gobe be reimbursed by the Company for
all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by Gobe on account of non-compliance with
Section 409A.

 

    7 

     

    

 

18.           Amendment; Entire Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing agreed
to and signed by Gobe and the Company. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to the subject matters
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement complements (and does not supersede or replace) any other agreements between the
Company or any of its Affiliates and Gobe that impose restrictions on Gobe with regard to confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation,
or non-disparagement (including the award agreements referenced in Section 6 above).

 

There are no oral agreements
between Gobe and the Company. No promises or inducements have been offered except as set forth in this Agreement. Gobe and the Company
acknowledge that, in executing this Agreement, neither Party has relied upon any representations or warranties of any other Party. No
promise or agreement which is not expressed in this Agreement has been made by the Company to Gobe or by Gobe to the Company in executing
this Agreement. Each Party agrees that any omissions of fact concerning the matters covered by this Agreement are of no consequence in
the decision to execute this Agreement.

 

19.           Interpretation.
The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted for purposes of convenience and shall not be used for interpretive purposes.
The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder,” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement
shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The use herein of the word “including”
following any general statement, term, or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term, or matter to the specific items
or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items, or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without
limitation”, “but not limited to”, or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be
deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement,
term or matter. The word “or” as used herein is not exclusive and is deemed to have the meaning “and/or.” References
in this Agreement to any agreement, instrument, or other document mean such agreement, instrument, or other document as amended, supplemented,
and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and not prohibited by this Agreement. No provision,
uncertainty or ambiguity in or with respect to this Agreement shall be construed or resolved against any Party hereto, whether under
any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by each of the Parties hereto and shall be construed
and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the Parties.

 

20.           Return of Property. Gobe acknowledges and agrees that he will return to the Company all documents, files (including
electronically stored information), and other materials constituting or reflecting confidential or proprietary information of the Company
or any other Company Party, and any other property belonging to the Company or any other Company Party, including all computer files,
electronically stored information, and other materials, and Gobe shall not maintain a copy of any such materials in any form.

 

21.           Assignment. This Agreement is personal to Gobe and may not be assigned by Gobe. The Company may assign its rights
and obligations under this Agreement without Gobe’s consent, including to any other Company Party and to any successor (whether
by merger, purchase, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the equity, assets, or businesses of the Company.

 

22.           Legal Fees.The Company agrees to pay all reasonable legal costs incurred by Gobe in the negotiation of this Agreement
upon receipt of any invoice for the same.
