5. Plan
Benefits.

 

(a) Qualifying
Termination Outside of a Change in Control Protection Period. In the event an Eligible Executive’s employment with any member
of the Company Group, ends due to a Qualifying Termination that occurs outside of a Change in Control Protection Period (or, in the case
of Level 2 Executive, and solely with respect to Sections 5(a)(i) and (ii) below, at any time, whether during or outside of a Change in
Control Protection Period), such Eligible Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts, and so long as such Eligible Executive
satisfies the Release Requirement and abides by the terms of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 below, such Eligible Executive shall also be
entitled to receive:

 

(i) A cash severance payment
in an amount equal to the Severance Amount;

 

(ii) The Group Health Plan
Amount, payable in a lump sum cash payment on the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that
is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination; and

and within 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination, of a pro-rated portion of such Eligible Executive’s
outstanding and unvested equity incentive awards granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan or otherwise, determined by multiplying
the number of shares subject to such awards (at target-level for performance-based awards) by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which equals
the number of calendar days that such Eligible Executive was employed by any member of the Company Group since the vesting date immediately
preceding such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination (or since the grant date, if no vesting date with respect to such an award
precedes such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of calendar days between
such vesting date or grant date, as applicable, and the vesting date with respect to such an award that immediately follows such Eligible
Executive’s Date of Termination, and settling on the date(s) set forth in the applicable award agreement(s) evidencing such award(s),
but in no event later than the Applicable March 15. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5(a)(iii) shall apply to a Level 2 Executive
only in the case of a Qualifying Termination that occurs outside of a Change in Control Protection Period.

 

    8

     

    

 

The amounts set forth in Section
5(a)(i) above shall be paid in substantially equal installments on the Company’s regular payroll schedule for the period commencing
on the Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination and continuing until the expiration of the Eligible Executive’s Applicable
Period; provided, however, that the payment of any Severance Amount that is otherwise due and payable to a Participant prior
to the date the Participant’s Release becomes final, binding and irrevocable (such date, the “Release Effective Date”)
shall be suspended and shall not be paid to the Eligible Executive until the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date on or
after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination; provided, further, that to the extent,
if any, that the aggregate amount of the installments of the Severance Amount that would otherwise be paid pursuant to this section after
the Applicable March 15 exceeds the maximum exemption amount under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A), then such excess
shall be paid to the Eligible Executive in a lump sum on the Applicable March 15 (or the first business day preceding the Applicable March
15 if the Applicable March 15 is not a business day) and the installments of the Severance Amount payable after the Applicable March 15
shall be reduced by such excess (beginning with the installment first payable after the Applicable March 15 and continuing with the next
succeeding installment until the aggregate reduction equals such excess). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, elect for the Company to pay an Eligible Executive’s Severance Amount under Section 5(a)(i) in a lump sum cash payment
on the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s
Date of Termination (and any election by the Committee for the Company to pay an Eligible Executive’s Severance Amount in a lump
sum shall not be binding on the Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to payments to any other Eligible Executive).

 

(b) Qualifying
Termination During a Change in Control Protection Period. In the event an Eligible Executive’s employment with any member of
the Company Group, ends due to a Qualifying Termination that occurs during a Change in Control Protection Period, such Eligible Executive
shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts, and so long as such Eligible Executive satisfies the Release Requirement and abides
by the terms of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 below, such Eligible Executive shall also be entitled to receive:

 

(i) Only if such Eligible
Executive is a Level 1 Executive, a lump sum cash severance payment in an amount equal to the CIC Severance Amount, payable on the Company’s
first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination;

 

(ii) Only if such Eligible
Executive is a Level 1 Executive, the Group Health Plan CIC Amount, payable in a lump sum cash payment on the Company’s first regularly
scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination; and

 

    9

     

    

 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Equity Incentive Plan or any award agreement thereunder, with respect to such Eligible Executive’s (whether
such Eligible Executive is a Level 1 Executive or Level 2 Executive) outstanding and unvested equity incentive awards granted pursuant
to the Equity Incentive Plan or otherwise that were Assumed (as defined below) by the acquiring entity in the Change in Control to which
a Change in Control Protection Period is applicable, full vesting of such awards on the Release Effective Date and within 60 days after
such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination, with performance-based vesting conditions deemed to be achieved at the greater of
target and actual performance levels, measured and calculated as of the date of such Change in Control pursuant to, if applicable, a shortened
performance period ending on the occurrence of such Change in Control, and such awards shall be settled on the date(s) set forth in the
applicable award agreement(s) evidencing such award(s), but in no event later than the Applicable March 15. For purposes of this Section
5(b), “Assumed,” with respect to an Eligible Executive’s outstanding and unvested equity incentive awards (“Original
Awards”), means that all of the following conditions are satisfied with respect to such Original Awards: (A) such Original Awards
are converted into replacement awards that have a value equivalent to the value of such Original Awards at the time of the Change in Control;
and (B) the replacement awards contain provisions for applicable time-based vesting and treatment upon terminations of employment (including
the definitions of Cause and Good Reason, if applicable) that are no less favorable to the Eligible Executive than the Original Awards,
and all other terms and conditions of the replacement awards (other than the security and number of shares represented by the replacement
awards) are substantially similar to, or more favorable to the Eligible Executive than, the terms and conditions governing the Original
Awards.

 

For clarity, with respect
to such Eligible Executive’s outstanding and unvested equity incentive awards granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan or otherwise
that are not Assumed by the acquiring entity in a Change in Control, such awards will immediately vest as of the Change in Control with
performance-based vesting conditions deemed to be achieved at the greater of target and actual performance levels pursuant to, if applicable,
a shortened performance period ending on the occurrence of such Change in Control, and such awards shall be settled on the date(s) set
forth in the applicable award agreement(s) evidencing such award(s), but in no event later than the Applicable March 15.

 

(c) Non-Qualifying
Terminations of Employment. In the event that an Eligible Executive’s employment with any member of the Company Group terminates
other than pursuant to a Qualifying Termination, including as a result of death or Disability, then all compensation and benefits to such
Eligible Executive shall terminate contemporaneously with such termination of employment, except that (i) such Eligible Executive shall
be entitled to the Accrued Amounts and (ii) all outstanding equity incentive awards then held by such Eligible Executive, pursuant to
the Equity Incentive Plan or otherwise, will be treated in accordance with the award agreement applicable to such award.

 

(d) After-Acquired
Evidence. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that an Eligible Executive
is eligible to receive the Severance Amount and other severance benefits pursuant to Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) but, after such determination,
the Company subsequently acquires evidence or determines that: (i) such Eligible Executive has failed to abide by the terms of Sections
7, 8, 9, 10 or 11; or (ii) a Cause condition existed prior to the Date of Termination that, had the Company been fully aware of such condition,
would have given the Company the right to terminate such Eligible Executive’s employment for Cause, then the Company shall have
the right to cease the payment of the Severance Amount and to cease providing any other severance benefits under Section 5(a) or Section
5(b), and such Eligible Executive shall promptly return to the Company any payment of the Severance Amount and any other severance benefits
received by such Eligible Executive prior to the date that the Company determines that the conditions of this Section 5(d) have been satisfied.

 

    10

     

    

 

6. Certain
Excise Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if an Eligible Executive is a “disqualified individual”
(as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan, together with any other payments
and benefits which such Eligible Executive has the right to receive from the Company or any of its Affiliates and taking into account
reductions in respect of reasonable compensation for personal services to be rendered by the Eligible Executive on or following the date
of the relevant “change in ownership or control” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), including pursuant to applicable
non-competition and other restrictive covenant obligations, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section
280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that
the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by such Eligible Executive from the Company and its Affiliates will be one
dollar less than three times such Eligible Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code)
and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by such Eligible Executive shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position to such Eligible Executive (taking
into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The reduction of payments and benefits
hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such
payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to
the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided
in-kind hereunder in a similar order. The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided
hereunder is necessary shall be made by the Company in good faith. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided and through error
or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company (or its Affiliates) used in determining
if a “parachute payment” exists, exceeds one dollar less than three times such Eligible Executive’s base amount, then
such Eligible Executive shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing
in this Section 6 shall require the Company to be responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, such Eligible
Executives’ excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code.

 

7. Confidentiality.
During the period in which an Eligible Executive participates in the Plan, the Eligible Executive shall be provided with, and will have
access to, Confidential Information. In consideration of such Eligible Executive’s receipt of Confidential Information and access
to such Confidential Information and in exchange for other valuable consideration provided hereunder, and as a condition to participation
in the Plan, each Eligible Executive shall be subject to the covenants and restrictions in this Section 7 and in Sections 8, 9, 10 and
11.

 

(a) In
General. Both during the period that an Eligible Executive is employed or engaged by or affiliated with the Company or any other member
of the Company Group (the “Employment Period”) and thereafter, except as expressly permitted by the Plan, the Eligible
Executive shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity and shall not use any Confidential Information except
for the benefit of the Company Group. Each Eligible Executive acknowledges and agrees that such Eligible Executive would inevitably use
and disclose Confidential Information in violation of this Section 7 if such Eligible Executive were to violate any of the covenants set
forth in Section 9. Each Eligible Executive shall follow all Company Group policies and protocols regarding the security of all documents
and other materials containing Confidential Information (regardless of the medium on which Confidential Information is stored). The covenants
of this Section 7(b) shall apply to all Confidential Information, whether now known or later to become known to an Eligible Executive
during the period that such Eligible Executive is employed or engaged by or affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company
Group.

 

    11

     

    

 

(b) Permitted
Disclosures. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 8(a) to the contrary, an Eligible Executive may make the following disclosures
and uses of Confidential Information: (i) disclosures to other employees of a member of the Company Group who have a need to know the
information in connection with the businesses of the Company Group; (ii) disclosures and uses that are approved in writing by the Company;
or (iii) disclosures to a person or entity that has (A) been retained by a member of the Company Group to provide services to one or more
members of the Company Group and (B) agreed in writing to abide by the terms of a confidentiality agreement in a form acceptable to the
Company.

 

(c) Return
of Confidential Information. Upon the expiration of the Eligible Executive’s Employment Period, and at any other time upon request
of the Company, an Eligible Executive shall promptly surrender and deliver to the Company all documents (including electronically stored
information) and all copies thereof and all other materials of any nature containing or pertaining to all Confidential Information and
any other Company Group property (including any Company Group-issued computer, mobile device or other property or equipment) in the Eligible
Executive’s possession, custody or control and the Eligible Executive shall not retain any such documents or other materials or
property of the Company Group. Within five days of any such request, the Eligible Executive shall certify to the Company in writing that
all such documents, materials and property have been returned to the Company.

 

(d) Additional
Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Plan shall prohibit or restrict an Eligible Executive from lawfully:
(i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise
assisting in an investigation by, any governmental authority regarding a possible violation of any law; (ii) responding to any inquiry
or legal process directed to such Eligible Executive from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise
assisting in any action or proceeding by any such governmental authority relating to a possible violation of law; or (iv) making any other
disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of United States federal, state or local law or regulation; provided,
that the Eligible Executive use reasonable best efforts to (A) disclose only information that is reasonably related to such possible violations
or that is requested by such agency or entity, and (B) request that such agency or entity treat such information as confidential. Additionally,
pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, an Eligible Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any
federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (I) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state or local
government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected
violation of law; (II) is made to such Eligible Executive’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against such Eligible
Executive for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (III) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or proceeding,
if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in the Plan requires an Eligible Executive to obtain prior authorization before engaging in
any conduct described in this Section 8(d), or to notify any member of the Company Group that such Eligible Executive has engaged in any
such conduct.

 

    12

     

    

 

8. Ownership
of Intellectual Property.

 

(a) Each
Eligible Executive agrees that the Company owns, and each Eligible Executive assigns, all right, title and interest (including patent
rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, trademark rights, and all other intellectual and industrial property rights
of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), discoveries, developments, improvements,
innovations, works of authorship, mask works, designs, know-how, ideas, formulae, processes, techniques, data, information, and similar
items authored, created, contributed to, made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by such Eligible Executive during
the period in which such Eligible Executive is or has been employed by or affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company
Group, whether or not registerable under U.S. law or the laws of other jurisdictions, that either (i) relate, at the time of conception,
reduction to practice, creation, derivation or development, to any member of the Company Group’s businesses or actual or anticipated
research or development, or (ii) were developed on any amount of the Company’s or any other member of the Company Group’s
time or with the use of any member of the Company Group’s equipment, supplies, facilities or Confidential Information (all of the
foregoing collectively referred to herein as “Company Intellectual Property”),
and such Eligible Executive shall promptly disclose all Company Intellectual Property to the Company in writing. To support an Eligible
Executive’s disclosure obligation herein, the Eligible Executive shall keep and maintain adequate and current written records of
all Company Intellectual Property made by the Eligible Executive (solely or jointly with others) during the period in which the Eligible
Executive is or has been employed by or affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company Group in such form as may be specified
from time to time by the Company. These records shall be available to, and remain the sole property of, the Company at all times.

 

(b) All
of an Eligible Executive’s works of authorship and associated copyrights created during the period in which the Eligible Executive
is employed by or affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company Group and in the scope of the Eligible Executive’s
employment or engagement shall be deemed to be “works made for hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Act. To the extent
any right, title and interest in and to Company Intellectual Property cannot be assigned by an Eligible Executive to the Company, the
Eligible Executive hereby grants to the Company Group an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide license
(with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, export, reproduce,
practice and otherwise commercialize such rights, title and interest.

 

    13

     

    

 

(c) Each
Eligible Executive agrees to disclose promptly in writing to the Company Group all Company Intellectual Property conceived, reduced to
practice, created, derived, developed, or made by the Eligible Executive during the Eligible Executive’s relationship with the Company
Group and for one year thereafter, whether or not the Eligible Executive believes the Company Intellectual Property is subject to the
Plan, to permit a determination by the Company Group as to whether or not the Company Intellectual Property is or should be considered
works made for hire. The Company Group will receive that information in confidence.

 

(d) Each
Eligible Executive recognizes that the Plan will not be deemed to require assignment of any invention or intellectual property that the
Eligible Executive developed entirely on the Eligible Executive’s own time without using the equipment, supplies, facilities, trade
secrets, or Confidential Information of any member of the Company Group. In addition, the Plan does not apply to any invention that qualifies
fully for protection from assignment to the Company under any specifically applicable state law or regulation.

 

(e) To
the extent allowed by law, this Section applies to all rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s
rights,” “droit moral,” such as the right to be named as author, the right to modify, the right to prevent mutilation
and the right to prevent commercial exploitation or the like, including without limitation those rights set forth in 17 U.S.C. §106A
(collectively, “Moral Rights”). To the extent an Eligible Executive retains any Moral Rights under applicable law,
the Eligible Executive hereby ratifies and consents to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized
by the Company or any member of the Company Group, and the Eligible Executive hereby waives and agrees not to assert any Moral Rights
with respect to such Moral Rights. Each Eligible Executive shall confirm any such ratifications, consents, waivers, and agreements from
time to time as requested by the Company.

 

(f) If,
in the course of an Eligible Executive’s employment with or affiliation with the Company or any other member of the Company Group,
such Eligible Executive uses in connection with or otherwise incorporates into the product, process, or device of any member of the Company
Group any inventions (whether or not patentable), original works of authorship, designs, know-how, mask works, ideas, trademarks or names,
information, developments, improvements, and trade secrets of which an Eligible Executive is the sole or joint author, creator, contributor,
or inventor that were made or developed by such Eligible Executive prior to the Eligible Executive’s employment with or affiliation
with the Company or any other member of the Company Group, or in which the Eligible Executive asserts any intellectual property right,
and which are applicable to or relate in any way to the business, products, services, or demonstrably anticipated research and development
or business of any member of the Company Group (“Prior Inventions”), the Company Group is hereby granted and will have
a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use, import, export, offer for sale,
sell and otherwise commercialize such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with (i) such product, process, or device of any member
of the Company Group and (ii) the conduct of the business of the Company Group, in each case, without diminishing any rights or claims
of the Company to any Company Intellectual Property or otherwise.

 

(g) Each
Eligible Executive shall perform, during and after the period in which such Eligible Executive is or has been employed by or affiliated
with the Company or any other member of the Company Group, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist
each member of the Company Group, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and
title throughout the world in the Company Intellectual Property and Confidential Information assigned, to be assigned, or licensed to
the Company under this Agreement. Such acts may include execution of documents and assistance or cooperation (i) in the filing, prosecution,
registration, and memorialization of assignment of any applicable patents, copyrights, mask work, or other applications, (ii) in the enforcement
of any applicable patents, copyrights, mask work, moral rights, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights, and (iii) in other legal proceedings
related to the Company Intellectual Property or Confidential Information.

 

    14

     

    

 

(h) In
the event that the Company (or, as applicable, a member of the Company Group) is unable for any reason to secure an Eligible Executive’s
signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register, or memorialize the assignment of any patent, copyright, mask work or
other applications or to enforce any patent, copyright, mask work, moral right, trade secret or other proprietary right under any Confidential
Information or Company Intellectual Property (including derivative works, improvements, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisionals,
continuations in part, continuing patent applications, reissues, and reexaminations of such Company Intellectual Property), the Eligible
Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of the Company’s duly authorized officers and agents as
the Eligible Executive’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Eligible Executive’s behalf and instead of the Eligible
Executive (i) to execute, file, prosecute, register and memorialize the assignment of any such application, (ii) to execute and file any
documentation required for such enforcement, and (iii) to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration,
memorialization of assignment, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, mask works, moral rights, trade secrets or other rights
under the Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Eligible
Executive.

 

(i) In
the event that an Eligible Executive enters into, on behalf of any member of the Company Group, any contracts or agreements relating to
any Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property, the Eligible Executive shall assign such contracts or agreements to the
Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) promptly, and in any event, prior to the Eligible Executive’s termination.
If the Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) is unable for any reason to secure the Eligible Executive’s signature
to any document required to assign said contracts or agreements, or if the Eligible Executive does not assign said contracts or agreements
to the Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) prior to the Eligible Executive’s termination, the Eligible Executive
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) and each of the Company’s
duly authorized officers and agents as the Eligible Executive’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on the Eligible Executive’s
behalf and instead of the Eligible Executive to execute said assignments and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the execution
of said documents.

 

9. Non-Competition;
Non-Solicitation.

 

(a) The
Company shall provide each Eligible Executive access to Confidential Information for use only during the Employment Period and in consideration
of the Company providing each Eligible Executive with access to Confidential Information and as an express incentive for the Company to
permit each Eligible Executive to participate in the Plan, each Eligible Executive has voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in
this Section 9. Each Eligible Executive agrees and acknowledges that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical
and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in all respects, do not interfere with public interests, will
not cause the Eligible Executive undue hardship, and are intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company
Group’s Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.

 

    15

     

    

 

(b) During
the Prohibited Period, each Eligible Executive shall not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly (other
than on behalf of a member of the Company Group), for the Eligible Executive or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or
entity of any nature:

 

(i) engage in or participate
within (or prepare to engage in or participate within) the Market Area in the Business, which prohibition shall prevent the Eligible Executive
from directly or indirectly: (A) owning, investing in, managing, controlling, operating, lending one’s name to, or being an officer
or director of, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage in, the Business, or (B) joining, becoming an employee or consultant
of, or otherwise being affiliated with or providing services or assistance to, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage
in, the Business (with respect to this clause (B)) in which the Eligible Executive’s duties or responsibilities are the same as
or similar to (or involve direct or indirect oversight over duties or responsibilities that are the same as or similar to) the duties
or responsibilities that the Eligible Executive had on behalf of any member of the Company Group;

 

(ii) appropriate any Business
Opportunity of, or relating to, any member of the Company Group;

 

(iii) solicit, canvass, approach,
encourage, entice or induce, or attempt to solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any current or prospective customer
or supplier of any member of the Company Group for whom or which the Eligible Executive had direct or indirect responsibility for any
member of the Company Group, or about whom or which the Eligible Executive obtained any Confidential Information, to cease or lessen such
customer’s or supplier’s business with any member of the Company Group or otherwise adversely interfere with such relationship;
or

 

(iv) solicit, canvass, approach,
encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of any member of the Company Group to terminate or reduce his, her or its employment
or engagement with any member of the Company Group or otherwise adversely interfere with such relationship.

 

(c) Because
of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company Group as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set
forth in Section 7 and in this Section 9, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the members of the
Company Group for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each other member of the Company Group shall be entitled
to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court
of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy,
and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s
or any other member of the Company Group’s exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and
remedies available to the Company and each other member of the Company Group, at law and equity.

 

    16

     

    

 

(d) The
covenants in this Section 9, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific
covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator
or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it
is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be severed or reformed, and then enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator
or court deems reasonable, and the Plan shall thereby be reformed.

 

10. Non-Disparagement.
Each Eligible Executive agrees that the Eligible Executive will not (and will not cause or direct any person or entity to), directly or
indirectly, at any time, make, publish or communicate to any person, entity or organization, any defamatory, negative or disparaging remarks,
comments or statements concerning the Company Group or its businesses, products or services, or any of its or their employees, investors,
members, officers, attorneys, directors, owners, agents, customers, suppliers, investors and other business relations.

 

11. Cooperation.
Each Eligible Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and thereafter (regardless of whether the Eligible Executive resigns
or the Eligible Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company Group or the reason for such resignation or termination), the
Eligible Executive shall provide reasonable and timely cooperation in connection with: (a) any actual or threatened litigation, inquiry,
review, investigation, process, or other matter, action, or proceeding (whether conducted by or before any court, regulatory, or governmental
entity, or by or on behalf of the Company Group, or otherwise), that relates to events occurring during the Eligible Executive’s
employment by the Company Group or about which the Company Group otherwise believes the Eligible Executive may have relevant information;
(b) the transitioning of the Eligible Executive’s role and responsibilities to other personnel; and (c) the provision of information
in response to the Company Group’s requests and inquiries in connection with the Eligible Executive’s separation of employment.
Each Eligible Executive’s cooperation shall include being available to (i) meet with and provide information to the Company Group
and its counsel or other agents in connection with fact-finding, investigatory, discovery, and/or pre-litigation or other proceeding issues,
and (ii) provide truthful testimony (including via affidavit, deposition, at trial, or otherwise) in connection with any such matter,
all without the requirement of being subpoenaed. Except in connection with any investigation, civil or administrative proceeding or arbitration
in which an Eligible Executive has been named a defendant in his or her individual capacity, the Company shall reimburse such Eligible
Executive for reasonable travel, lodging and similar expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing cooperation pursuant to this Section
11. For the avoidance of doubt, such reimbursement or other consideration provided to an Eligible Executive pursuant to the Plan are in
no way dependent upon the outcome of any litigation or government inquiry or on the content of any testimony such Eligible Executive may
provide in connection with such litigation or government inquiry.

 

    17

     

    

 

12. Prior
Obligations. Each Eligible Executive hereby represents and warrants that the Eligible Executive is not the subject of, or a party
to, any non-competition, non-solicitation, restrictive covenant or non-disclosure agreement, or any other agreement, obligation, restriction
or understanding that would prohibit the Eligible Executive from complying with the Plan or fully performing each of the Eligible Executive’s
duties and responsibilities for the Company Group, or would in any manner, directly or indirectly, limit or affect any of the duties and
responsibilities that may now or in the future be assigned to the Eligible Executive by any member of the Company Group. Each Eligible
Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Eligible Executive is strictly prohibited from using or disclosing any confidential
information belonging to any prior employer in the course of performing services for any member of the Company Group, and the Eligible
Executive promises that the Eligible Executive shall not do so. Each Eligible Executive shall not introduce documents or other materials
containing confidential information of any prior employer to the premises or property (including computers and computer systems) of any
member of the Company Group.

 

13. Consent
to Notification. If an Eligible Executive ceases to be employed by any member of the Company Group, the Eligible Executive hereby
grants consent to notification by the Company Group to any new employer, any third party engaging the Eligible Executive’s services,
or any entity to which the Eligible Executive becomes a partner, member, employee or otherwise engaged about the Eligible Executive’s
rights and obligations under the Plan.

 

14. Claims
Procedure and Review.

 

(a) Filing
a Claim. Any Eligible Executive that the Committee determines is entitled to severance benefits under the Plan is not required to
file a claim for benefits. Any Eligible Executive (i) who is not paid severance benefits hereunder and who believes that he or she is
entitled to severance benefits hereunder or (ii) who has been paid severance benefits hereunder and believes that he or she is entitled
to greater benefits hereunder may file a claim for severance benefits under the Plan in writing with the Committee.

 

(b) Initial
Determination of a Claim. If a claim for severance benefits hereunder is wholly or partially denied, the Committee shall, within a
reasonable period of time but no later than 90 days after receipt of the claim (or 180 days after receipt of the claim if special circumstances
require an extension of time for processing the claim), notify the claimant of the denial. Such notice shall (i) be in writing, (ii) be
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (iii) contain the specific reason or reasons for denial of the claim,
(iv) refer specifically to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, (v) describe any additional material or information
necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim (and explain why such material or information is necessary), and (vi) describe the Plan’s
claim review procedures and time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a
civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.

 

(c) Appeal
of a Denied Claim. Within 60 days of the receipt by the claimant of this notice, the claimant may file a written appeal with the Committee.
In connection with the appeal, the claimant may review Plan documents and may submit written issues and comments. The Committee shall
deliver to the claimant a written decision on the appeal promptly, but not later than 60 days after the receipt of the claimant’s
appeal (or 120 days after receipt of the claimant’s appeal if there are special circumstances which require an extension of time
for processing). Such decision shall (i) be in writing, (ii) be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (iii)
include specific reasons for the decision, (iv) refer specifically to the Plan provisions upon which the decision is based, (v) state
that the claimant is entitled to receive, on request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and
other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits, and (vi) a statement of the Participant’s right to bring
an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. If special circumstances require an extension of up to 180 days for an initial claim or 120 days
for an appeal, whichever applies, the Committee shall send written notice of the extension. This notice shall indicate the special circumstances
requiring the extension and state when the Committee expects to render the decision.

 

    18

     

    

 

(d) Compliance
with ERISA. The benefits claim procedure provided in this Section 14 is intended to comply with the provisions of 29 C.F.R. §2560.503-1.
All provisions of this Section 14 shall be interpreted, construed, and limited in accordance with such intent.

 

15. General
Provisions.

 

(a) Taxes.
The Company is authorized to withhold from all payments made hereunder amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially payable
in connection therewith, and to take such other action as the Company may deem advisable to enable the Company and the Eligible Executive
to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any payments made under the Plan.

 

(b) No
Mitigation. No Eligible Executive shall have any duty to mitigate the amounts payable under the Plan by seeking or accepting new employment
or self-employment following a Qualifying Termination.

 

(c) Offset.
The Company may set off against, and each Eligible Executive authorizes the Company to deduct from, any payments due to the Eligible Executive,
or to his or her estate, heirs, legal representatives, or successors, any amounts which may be due and owing to the Company or an Affiliate
of the Company by the Eligible Executive, whether arising under the Plan or otherwise; provided, however, that no such offset may be made
with respect to amounts payable that are subject to the requirements of Section 409A unless the offset would not result in a violation
of the requirements of Section 409A.

 

(d) Amendment
and Termination. Prior to a Change in Control, the Board and the Committee shall have the power to amend or terminate the Plan from
time to time in its discretion and for any reason (or no reason) (including the removal of an individual as an Eligible Executive); provided
that no such amendment or termination shall be effective with respect to a termination of employment that occurred prior to the amendment
or termination of the Plan; and provided, further, that, to the extent any such amendment has a detrimental impact to any
Eligible Executive, such amendment will become effective with respect to such Eligible Executive six months following approval by the
Board or Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control and during a Change in Control Protection Period, no amendment
or termination of the Plan shall impair any rights or obligations to any Eligible Executive under the Plan (including the removal of an
individual as an Eligible Executive) unless such Eligible Executive expressly consents to such amendment or termination.

 

    19

     

    

 

(e) Successors.
The Plan will be binding upon any successor to the Company, its assets, its businesses or its interests (whether as a result of the occurrence
of a Change in Control or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under the Plan if
no succession had taken place. All payments and benefits that become due to an Eligible Executive under the Plan will inure to the benefit
of his or her heirs, assigns, designees or legal representatives.

 

(f) Transfer
and Assignment. Neither an Eligible Executive nor any other person shall have any right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate
or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey any amounts payable under the Plan prior to the date that such amounts are paid.

 

(g) Unfunded
Obligation. All benefits due an Eligible Executive under the Plan are unfunded and unsecured and are payable out of the general assets
of the Company. The Company is not required to segregate any monies or other assets from its general funds with respect to these obligations.
Eligible Executives shall not have any preference or security interest in any assets of the Company other than as a general unsecured
creditor.

 

(h) Severability.
If any provision of the Plan (or portion thereof) is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity of such
provision (or portion thereof) will not affect the remaining provisions (or portions thereof) of the Plan, but such provision (or portion
thereof) will be fully severable and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision (or portion thereof)
had never been included herein.

 

(i) COBRA.
Subject to the rules and regulations of COBRA, in connection with an Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination, the Company will
provide an Eligible Executive the option to elect to continue group health plan coverage through COBRA. The election of COBRA continuation
coverage and the payment of any premiums due with respect to such COBRA continuation coverage will remain such Eligible Executive’s
sole responsibility, and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will assume any obligation for payment of any such premiums relating
to such COBRA continuation coverage.

 

(j) Section
409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and administered in accordance
with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, payments provided under the Plan may only be made upon an event and
in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under the Plan that may be excluded from Section
409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section
409A to the maximum extent possible. Any payments to be made under the Plan upon the termination of an Eligible Executive’s employment
shall only be made if such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A. Each installment
payment under the Plan is intended to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to
the contrary, if any payment or benefit provided for herein would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A if an
Eligible Executive’s receipt of such payment or benefit is not delayed until the earlier of (i) the date of such Eligible Executive’s
death or (ii) the date that is six months after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination (such date, the “Section
409A Payment Date”), then such payment or benefit shall not be provided to such Eligible Executive (or such Eligible Executive’s
estate, if applicable) until the Section 409A Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the
payments and benefits provided under the Plan are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A and in no event shall the Company or any
of its Affiliates be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by any Eligible
Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

 

    20

     

    

 

(k) Governing
Law. All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan and payments due hereunder will be determined by application
of the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions thereof, except to the extent preempted by
federal law (including ERISA, which is the federal law that governs the Plan, the administration of the Plan and any claims made under
the Plan).

 

(l) Status.
The Plan is intended to qualify for the exemptions under Title I of ERISA provided for plans that are unfunded and maintained primarily
for the purpose of providing benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

 

(m) Third-Party
Beneficiaries. Each Affiliate of the Company shall be a third-party beneficiary of the Eligible Executive’s covenants and obligations
under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and shall be entitled to enforce such obligations as if a party hereto.

 

(n) No
Right to Continued Employment. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to be a contract of employment between
the Company or any of its Affiliates and any person, or to have any impact whatsoever on the at-will employment relationship between the
Company or any of its Affiliates and the Eligible Executives. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any person the right to be retained
in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates for any period of time or to restrict the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates
to terminate the employment of any person at any time.

 

(o) Title
and Headings; Construction. Titles and headings to Sections hereof are for the purpose of reference only and shall in no way limit,
define or otherwise affect the provisions hereof. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to laws, regulations, contracts,
documents, agreements and instruments refer to such laws, regulations, contracts, documents, agreements and instruments as they may be
amended from time to time, and references to particular provisions of laws or regulations include a reference to the corresponding provisions
of any succeeding law or regulation. The word “or” as used herein is not exclusive and is deemed to have the meaning “and/or.”
The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and other compounds of the word “here” shall
refer to the entire Plan, and not to any particular provision hereof. Wherever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes
the feminine or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural and conversely. 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. Neither the Plan nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against any party hereto, whether under
any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, the Plan 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
hereto.

 

    21

     

    

 

(p) Overpayment.
If, due to mistake or any other reason, a person receives severance payments or benefits under the Plan in excess of what the Plan provides,
such person shall repay the overpayment to the Company in a lump sum within 30 days of notice of the amount of overpayment. If such person
fails to so repay the overpayment, then without limiting any other remedies available to the Company, the Company may deduct the amount
of the overpayment from any other amounts which become payable to such person under the Plan or otherwise.

 

(q) Clawback.
Any amounts payable under the Plan are subject to any policy (whether in existence as of the Effective Date or later adopted) established
by the Company providing for clawback or recovery of amounts that were paid to the Eligible Executive. The Company will make any determination
for clawback or recovery in its sole discretion and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and securities exchange listing standards.
