Harold Carter. 
 (c)    Sponsor Designees. 

(i)    Following the closing of the IPO, Pine Brook shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
nominate to the Board one (1) director, in the event that Pine Brook Beneficially Owns 7.5% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. If Pine Brook Beneficially Owns less than 7.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, it shall
not be entitled to designate any nominee to the Board. At the closing of the IPO, the initial Pine Brook Director shall be Dick Stoneburner. 

(ii)    Following the closing of the IPO, Warburg Pincus shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
nominate to the Board a number of designees equal to: (i) two (2) directors, so long as Warburg Pincus Beneficially Owns 15% 

  
 4 

 
or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (ii) one (1) director, in the event that Warburg Pincus Beneficially Owns 7.5% or more, but less than 15%, of the outstanding shares of

Stock, it shall not be entitled to designate any nominee to the Board. At the closing of the IPO, the initial Yorktown Director shall be Howard Keenan. 

If the authorized size of the Board is increased or decreased at any time to constitute other than nine (9) directors, then each
Sponsor’s nomination rights under this Section 2.1(c) shall be proportionately increased or decreased, respectively, rounded to the nearest whole number; provided that such adjustment shall not reduce the number of
directors a Sponsor is entitled to nominate to fewer than the number set forth in the subclause (i) (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.1(c), as applicable, as long as such Sponsor maintains the
required Beneficial Ownership set forth therein. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted to the Sponsors to designate directors to
the Board are additive to, and not intended to limit in any way, the rights that the Sponsors or their respective Affiliates may have to nominate, elect or remove directors under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 
 The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to take all Necessary
Action to effectuate the above, and not to take any action that would be reasonably expected to result in any of the above not becoming effectuated, including by: (A) including the persons designated pursuant to this
Section 2.1 in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors; (B) nominating and recommending each such individual to be elected
as a director as provided herein; (C) soliciting proxies or consents in favor thereof. The Company is entitled to identify each such individual nominated pursuant to Section 2.1(c) as a Sponsor Director pursuant to
this Agreement. 
 (d)    In the event that any Sponsor has nominated fewer than the total number of
designees such Sponsor is entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 2.1(c), such Sponsor shall have the right, at any time, to nominate such additional designees to which it is entitled, in which case the Company and the
directors shall take all Necessary Action, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to (x) enable such Sponsor to nominate and effect the election or appointment of such additional individuals, whether by increasing the size of the
Board or otherwise, and (y) designate each such additional individual nominated by such Sponsor to fill such newly-created vacancies or to fill any other existing vacancies. 

  
 5 

 (e)    So long as a Sponsor is entitled to designate one
or more nominees pursuant to Section 2.1(c), such Sponsor shall have the right to request the removal of any Sponsor Director (with or without cause) nominated by such Sponsor, from time to time and at any time, from the
Board, exercisable upon written notice to the Company, and the Company and the Principal Stockholders shall take all Necessary Action to cause such removal. 

(f)    Each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee shall be constituted
as determined by the Board in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, applicable laws or stock exchange or stock market rules; provided that so long as a Sponsor Beneficially Owns at least 7.5% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Company shall take all Necessary Action to cause each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board to include in its membership at least one Sponsor Director nominated by such Sponsor,
except to the extent that such membership would violate applicable securities laws or stock exchange or stock market rules. 

(g)    Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall be deemed to require that any party
hereto, or any Affiliate thereof, to act or be in violation of any applicable provision of law, regulation, legal duty or requirement or stock exchange or stock market rule of any national securities exchange upon which the Class A Common Stock
is admitted to trading. 
 (h)    Vacancies. If a vacancy is created on the Board at any time by
the death, disability, resignation or removal (whether by a Sponsor or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws) of a Sponsor Director, then the Sponsor who designated such Sponsor
Director shall be entitled to designate an individual to fill the vacancy so long as the total number of persons that will serve on the Board as Sponsor Directors designated by such Sponsor immediately following the filling of such vacancy will not
exceed the total number of persons such Sponsor is entitled to designate pursuant to Section 2.1(c) on the date of such replacement designation. The Company and the Principal Stockholders shall take all Necessary Action to
cause such replacement Sponsor Director to become a member of the Board pursuant to this Section 2.1(h). 

Section 2.2    Restrictions on Other Agreements. No Principal Stockholder shall, directly or indirectly, grant
any proxy or enter into or agree to be bound by any voting trust, agreement or arrangement of any kind with respect to its shares of Common Stock if and to the extent the terms thereof conflict with the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not
such proxy, voting trust, agreement or agreements are with other Principal Stockholders, holders of shares of Common Stock that are not parties to this Agreement or otherwise). 

Section 2.3    Certain Actions. 

(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(c), in the event the Sponsors

16b-3 and other applicable laws, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to: 

(i) designate Eligible Persons as Participants; 

  
 5 

 (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to an Eligible Person; 

(iii) determine the number of shares of Stock or amount of cash to be covered by Awards; 

(iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award, including whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be vested,
settled, exercised, cancelled or forfeited (including conditions based on continued employment or service requirements or the achievement of one or more performance goals);

(x) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.

 The express grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee, shall not be construed as
limiting any power or authority of the Committee. Any action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its Affiliates, stockholders, Participants, beneficiaries, and permitted transferees under
Section 7(a) or other persons claiming rights from or through a Participant.

action of the Committee relating to an Award granted or to be granted to an Eligible Person who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company where such action is not taken by the full Board may be taken either
(A) by a subcommittee, designated by the Committee, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members, or (B) by the Committee but with each such member who is not a Qualified Member abstaining or recusing himself or herself from such
action; provided, however, that upon such abstention or recusal, the Committee remains composed solely of two or more Qualified Members. Such action, authorized by such a subcommittee or by the Committee upon the abstention or recusal
of such non-Qualified Member(s), shall be the action of the Committee for purposes of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the full Board may take any action relating to an Award granted or to be granted to
an Eligible Person who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company. 

  
 6 

 (c)    Delegation of Authority. The Committee may delegate any or
all of its powers and duties under the Plan to a subcommittee of directors or to any officer of the Company, including the power to perform administrative functions and grant Awards; provided, however, that such delegation does not
(i) violate state or corporate law or (ii) result in the loss of an exemption under Rule 16b-3(d)(1) for Awards granted to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of
the Company. Upon any such delegation, all references in the Plan to the “Committee,” other than in Section 8, shall be deemed to include any subcommittee or officer of the Company to whom such powers have been
delegated by the Committee. Any such delegation shall not limit the right of such subcommittee members or such an officer to receive Awards; provided, however, that such subcommittee members and any such officer may not grant Awards to
himself or herself, a member of the Board, or any executive officer of the Company or an Affiliate, or take any action with respect to any Award previously granted to himself or herself, a member of the Board, or any executive officer of the Company
or an Affiliate. The Committee may also appoint agents who are not executive officers of the Company or members of the Board to assist in administering the Plan, provided that such individuals may not be delegated the authority to grant or modify
any Awards that will, or may, be settled in Stock. 
 (d)    Limitation of Liability. The Committee and each
member thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates, the Company’s legal counsel, independent auditors,
consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally
liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Company with respect to any such action or determination. 

(e)    Participants in Non-U.S. Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan to the contrary, to comply with applicable laws in countries other than the United States in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates or has employees, directors or other service providers from time to time, or to
ensure that the Company complies with any applicable requirements of foreign securities exchanges, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which of the Company’s Affiliates shall be
covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which Eligible Persons outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Eligible Persons outside the United States to
comply with applicable foreign laws or listing requirements of any foreign exchange; (iv) establish sub-plans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may
be necessary or advisable (any such sub-plans and/or modifications shall be attached to the Plan as appendices), provided, however, that no such sub-plans
and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 4(a); and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is granted, that it deems advisable to comply with any applicable governmental
regulatory exemptions or approval or listing requirements of any such foreign securities exchange. For purposes of the Plan, all references to foreign laws, rules, regulations or taxes shall be references to the laws, rules, regulations and taxes of
any applicable jurisdiction other than the United States or a political subdivision thereof.

 4.    Stock Subject to Plan. 

(a)    Number of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with
Section 8, 5,712,000 shares of Stock are reserved and available for delivery with respect to Awards, and such total shall be available for the issuance of shares upon the exercise of ISOs. 

(b)    Application of Limitation to Grants of Awards. Subject to Section 4(c), no Award
may be granted if the number of shares of Stock that may be delivered in connection with such Award exceeds the number of shares of Stock remaining available under the Plan minus the number of shares of Stock issuable in settlement of or relating to
then-outstanding Awards. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or Substitute Awards) and make adjustments if the number of shares of Stock
actually delivered differs from the number of shares previously counted in connection with an Award. 

(c)    Availability of Shares Not Delivered under Awards. If all or any portion of an Award expires or is
cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated, the shares of Stock subject to such Award (including (i) shares forfeited with respect to Restricted Stock, (ii) the number of shares withheld or surrendered to the
Company in payment of any exercise or purchase price of an Award or taxes relating to Awards, and (iii) shares that were subject to an Option or SAR but were not issued or delivered as a result of net settlement or net exercise of such Option
or SAR) shall not be considered “delivered shares” under the Plan, shall be available for delivery with respect to Awards, and shall no longer be considered issuable or related to outstanding Awards for purposes of
Section 4(b). If an Award may be settled only in cash, such Award need not be counted against any share limit under this Section 4. 

(d)    Stock Offered. The shares of Stock to be delivered under the Plan shall be made available from
(i) authorized but unissued shares of Stock, (ii) Stock held in the treasury of the Company, or (iii) previously issued shares of Stock reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market. 

5.    Eligibility; Director Award Limitations. 

(a)    Awards may be granted under the Plan only to Eligible Persons. 

(b)    In each calendar year during any part of which the Plan is in effect, a
non-employee member of the Board may not be granted Awards having a value (determined, if applicable, pursuant to ASC Topic 718) on the date of grant in excess of $500,000 multiplied by the number of full or
partial calendar years in any performance period established with respect to an Award, if applicable; provided, that, for the calendar year in which a non-employee member of the Board first commences service
on the Board only, the foregoing limitation shall be doubled; provided, further that, the limits set forth in this Section 5(b) shall be without regard to grants of Awards, if any, made to a
non-employee member of the Board during any period in which such individual was an employee of the Company or of any of its Affiliates or was otherwise providing services to the Company or to any of its
Affiliates other than in the capacity as a director of the Company. 

  
 8 

 6.    Specific Terms of Awards. 

(a)    General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 6. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with any other Award. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the
exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 10), such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. Without limiting the
scope of the preceding sentence, the Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance goals applicable to an Award, and any such performance goals may differ among
Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants. To the extent provided in an Award Agreement, the Committee may exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under any Award. 

(b)    Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options, which may be designated as either ISOs or
Nonstatutory Options, to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: 
 (i)    Exercise Price. Each
Award Agreement evidencing an Option shall state the exercise price per share of Stock (the “Exercise Price”) established by the Committee; provided, however, that except as provided in
Section 6(j) or in Section 8, the Exercise Price of an Option shall not be less than the greater of (A) the par value per share of the Stock or (B) 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of
the Stock as of the date of grant of the Option (or in the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent or any of its
subsidiaries, 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock on the date of grant). 
 (ii)    Time and Method
of Exercise; Other Terms. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the Exercise Price may be paid or deemed to be paid, the form of such payment, including cash or cash equivalents, Stock (including previously owned shares or through a
cashless exercise, i.e., “net settlement”, a broker-assisted exercise, or other reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option), other Awards or awards granted under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate,
other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate (including notes or other contractual obligations of Participants to make payment on a deferred basis), the methods by or forms in which Stock will be delivered or
deemed to be delivered to Participants, including the delivery of Restricted Stock subject to Section 6(d), and any other terms and conditions of any Option. In the case of an exercise whereby the Exercise Price is paid
with Stock, such Stock shall be valued based on the Stock’s Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise. No Option may be exercisable for a period of more than ten years following the date of grant of the Option (or in the case of an ISO
granted to an individual who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent or any of its subsidiaries, for a period of more than five years following the date of grant of
the ISO). 

  
 9 

 (iii)    ISOs. The terms of any ISO granted under the Plan shall
comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. ISOs may only be granted to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company or employees of a parent or any subsidiary corporation of the Company. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8, no term of the Plan relating to ISOs (including any SAR in tandem therewith) shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as
to disqualify either the Plan or any ISO under Section 422 of the Code, unless the Participant has first requested the change that will result in such disqualification. ISOs shall not be granted more than ten years after the earlier of the
adoption of the Plan or the approval of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Stock subject to an ISO and the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares
of stock of any parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code) subject to any other incentive stock options of the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Sections
424(e) and (f) of the Code) that are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, or such other amount as may be prescribed under Section 422 of the Code, such excess shall be treated as
Nonstatutory Options in accordance with the Code. As used in the previous sentence, Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date the ISO is granted. If a Participant shall make any disposition of shares of Stock issued pursuant to an ISO
under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to disqualifying dispositions), the Participant shall notify the Company of such disposition within the time provided to do so in the applicable award agreement. 

(c)    SARs. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:

 (i)    Right to Payment. An SAR is a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, an amount equal to the product
of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (B) the grant price of the SAR as determined by the Committee and (ii) the number of shares of Stock subject to the exercise of the
SAR. 
 (ii)    Grant Price. Each Award Agreement evidencing an SAR shall state the grant price per share of
Stock established by the Committee; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 6(j) or in Section 8, the grant price per share of Stock subject to an SAR shall not be less
than the greater of (A) the par value per share of the Stock or (B) 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock as of the date of grant of the SAR. 

(iii)    Method of Exercise and Settlement; Other Terms. The Committee shall determine the form of consideration
payable upon settlement, the method by or forms in which Stock (if any), cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, and any other terms and
conditions of any SAR. SARs may be either free-standing or granted in tandem with other Awards. No SAR may be exercisable for a period of more than ten years following the date of grant of the SAR. 

(iv)    Rights Related to Options. An SAR granted in connection with an Option shall entitle a Participant, upon
exercise, to surrender that Option or any portion thereof, to the extent unexercised, and to receive payment of an amount determined by multiplying (A) 

  
 10 

 
the difference obtained by subtracting the Exercise Price with respect to a share of Stock specified in the related Option from the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise
of the SAR, by (B) the number of shares as to which that SAR has been exercised. The Option shall then cease to be exercisable to the extent surrendered. SARs granted in connection with an Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
the Award Agreement governing the Option, which shall provide that the SAR is exercisable only at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable and shall not be transferable except to the extent that the related
Option is transferrable. 
 (d)    Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to
Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: 
 (i)    Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be
subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose. Except as provided in Section 7(a)(iii) and Section 7(a)(iv), during
the restricted period applicable to the Restricted Stock, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hedged, hypothecated, margined or otherwise encumbered by the Participant. 

(ii)    Dividends and Splits. As a condition to the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee will
provide that any cash dividends paid on a share of Restricted Stock be (1) automatically reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock, (2) applied to the purchase of additional Awards or (3) deferred without interest to the
date of vesting of the associated Award of Restricted Stock. Stock distributed in connection with a Stock split or Stock dividend, and other property (other than cash) distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of
forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Stock or other property has been distributed. 

(e)    Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Persons on
the following terms and conditions: 
 (i)    Award and Restrictions. Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to
such restrictions (which may include a risk of forfeiture) as the Committee may impose. 
 (ii)    Settlement.
Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall occur upon vesting or upon expiration of the deferral period specified for such Restricted Stock Units by the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant). Restricted
Stock Units shall be settled by delivery of (A) a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units for which settlement is due, or (B) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the specified number of
shares of Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units for which settlement is due, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee at the date of grant or thereafter. 

(f)    Stock Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Awards to Eligible Persons as a bonus, as
additional compensation, or in lieu of cash compensation any such Eligible Person is otherwise entitled to receive, in such amounts and subject to such other terms as the Committee in its discretion determines to be appropriate. 

  
 11 

 (g)    Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant
Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons, entitling any such Eligible Person to receive cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property equal in value to dividends or other distributions paid with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock.
Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award (other than an Award of Restricted Stock or a Stock Award). The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when
accrued or at a later specified date and, if distributed at a later date, may be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock, Awards, or other investment vehicles or accrued in a bookkeeping account without interest, and subject to such
restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. With respect to Dividend Equivalents granted in connection with another Award, such Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same restrictions and risk of
forfeiture as the Award with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be paid unless and until such Award has vested and been earned. 

(h)    Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant
to Eligible Persons such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan,
including convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Stock, purchase rights for Stock, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the
Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Stock or the value of securities of, or the performance of, specified Affiliates of the Company. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards.
Stock delivered pursuant to an Other-Stock Based Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 6(h) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms,
including cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee shall determine. 
 (i)    Cash Awards.
The Committee is authorized to grant Cash Awards, on a free-standing basis or as an element of, a supplement to, or in lieu of any other Award under the Plan to Eligible Persons in such amounts and subject to such other terms as the Committee in its
discretion determines to be appropriate. 
 (j)    Substitute Awards; No Repricing. Awards may be granted in
substitution or exchange for any other Award granted under the Plan or under another plan of the Company or an Affiliate or any other right of an Eligible Person to receive payment from the Company or an Affiliate. Awards may also be granted under
the Plan in substitution for awards held by individuals who become Eligible Persons as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of another entity or the assets of another entity by or with the Company or an Affiliate. Such Substitute
Awards referred to in the immediately preceding sentence that are Options or SARs may have an exercise price that is less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of the substitution if such substitution complies with the
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules and other applicable laws and exchange rules. Except as provided in this Section 6(j) or in Section 8, without the approval of the stockholders of the
Company, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to (i) reduce the Exercise Price or grant price of an outstanding Option or SAR, (ii) grant a new Option, SAR or other Award in substitution for, or upon the cancellation of, any
previously granted Option or SAR that has the effect of reducing the 

  
 12 

 
Exercise Price or grant price thereof, (iii) exchange any Option or SAR for Stock, cash or other consideration when the Exercise Price or grant price per share of Stock under such Option or
SAR exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock or (iv) take any other action that would be considered a “repricing” of an Option or SAR under the applicable listing standards of the national securities exchange on which the
Stock is listed (if any). 
 7.    Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards. 

(a)    Limit on Transfer of Awards. 

(i)    Except as provided in Sections 7(a)(iii) and (iv), each Option and SAR shall be exercisable only by
the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 7(a), an ISO shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

(ii)    Except as provided in Sections 7(a)(i), (iii) and (iv), no Award, other than a Stock Award,
and no right under any such Award, may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be
void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. 
 (iii)    To the extent specifically provided by the
Committee, an Award may be transferred by a Participant without consideration to immediate family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities or on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time
establish. 
 (iv)    An Award may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order entered or approved by a court
of competent jurisdiction upon delivery to the Company of a written request for such transfer and a certified copy of such order. 

(b)    Form and Timing of Payment under Awards; Deferrals. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable
Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or any of its Affiliates upon the exercise or settlement of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine in its discretion, including cash, Stock, other Awards or other
property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis (which may be required by the Committee or permitted at the election of the Participant on terms and conditions established by the Committee);
provided, however, that any such deferred or installment payments will be set forth in the Award Agreement. Payments may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or
deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents or other amounts in respect of installment or deferred payments denominated in Stock. 

(c)    Evidencing Stock. The Stock or other securities of the Company delivered pursuant to an Award may be
evidenced in any manner deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion, including in the form of a certificate issued in the name of the Participant or by book entry, electronic or otherwise, and shall be subject to such stop transfer
orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and 

  
 13 

 
other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Stock or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal, state or other laws, and the Committee may cause a legend
or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. Further, if certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Company may retain physical possession
of the certificates and may require that the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, related to the Restricted Stock. 

(d)    Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee
shall determine, but shall not be granted for less than the minimum lawful consideration. 
 (e)    Additional
Agreements. Each Eligible Person to whom an Award is granted under the Plan may be required to agree in writing, as a condition to the grant of such Award or otherwise, to subject an Award that is exercised or settled following such Eligible
Person’s termination of employment or service to a general release of claims and/or a noncompetition or other restricted covenant agreement in favor of the Company and its Affiliates, with the terms and conditions of such agreement(s) to be
determined in good faith by the Committee. 
 8.    Subdivision or Consolidation; Recapitalization; Change in
Control; Reorganization. 
 (a)    Existence of Plans and Awards. The existence of the Plan and the Awards
granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company, the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital
structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities ahead of or affecting Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale, lease, exchange or other
disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding. 

(b)    Additional Issuances. Except as expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of
any class, including upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per share of Stock, if applicable. 

(c)    Subdivision or Consolidation of Shares. The terms of an Award and the share limitations under the Plan shall
be subject to adjustment by the Committee from time to time, in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (i)    If
at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall subdivide as a whole (by reclassification, by a Stock split, by the issuance of a distribution on Stock payable in Stock, or otherwise) the number of shares of Stock then outstanding into a
greater number of shares of Stock or in the event the Company distributes an extraordinary cash 

  
 14 

 
dividend, then, as appropriate (A) the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery with respect to Awards and applicable limitations with respect to Awards provided in
Section 4 and Section 5 (other than cash limits) shall be increased proportionately, and the kind of shares or other securities available for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, (B) the
number of shares of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) that may be acquired under any then outstanding Award shall be increased proportionately, and (C) the price (including the Exercise Price or grant price) for each share of Stock
(or other kind of shares or securities) subject to then outstanding Awards shall be reduced proportionately, without changing the aggregate purchase price or value as to which outstanding Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions;
provided, however, that in the case of an extraordinary cash dividend that is not an Adjustment Event, the adjustment to the number of shares of Stock and the Exercise Price or grant price, as applicable, with respect to an outstanding Option or SAR
may be made in such other manner as the Committee may determine that is permitted pursuant to applicable tax and other laws, rules and regulations. 

(ii)    If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall consolidate as a whole (by reclassification, by reverse
Stock split, or otherwise) the number of shares of Stock then outstanding into a lesser number of shares of Stock, then, as appropriate (A) the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery with respect to Awards and
applicable limitations with respect to Awards provided in Section 4 and Section 5 (other than cash limits) shall be decreased proportionately, and the kind of shares or other securities available
for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, (B) the number of shares of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) that may be acquired under any then outstanding Award shall be decreased proportionately, and (C) the price (including
the Exercise Price or grant price) for each share of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) subject to then outstanding Awards shall be increased proportionately, without changing the aggregate purchase price or value as to which outstanding
Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions. 
 (d)    Recapitalization. In the event of any change in
the capital structure or business of the Company or other corporate transaction or event that would be considered an “equity restructuring” within the meaning of ASC Topic 718 and, in each case, that would result in an additional
compensation expense to the Company pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, if adjustments to Awards with respect to such event were discretionary or otherwise not required (each such an event, an “Adjustment Event”),
then the Committee shall equitably adjust (i) the aggregate number or kind of shares that thereafter may be delivered under the Plan, (ii) the number or kind of shares or other property (including cash) subject to an Award, (iii) the
terms and conditions of Awards, including the purchase price or Exercise Price of Awards and performance goals, as applicable, and (iv) the applicable limitations with respect to Awards provided in Section 4 and
Section 5 (other than cash limits) to equitably reflect such Adjustment Event (“Equitable Adjustments”). In the event of any change in the capital structure or business of the Company or other
corporate transaction or event that would not be considered an Adjustment Event, and is not otherwise addressed in this Section 8, the Committee shall have complete discretion to make Equitable Adjustments (if any) in such
manner as it deems appropriate with respect to such other event. 
 (e)    Change in Control and Other Events.
Except to the extent otherwise provided in any applicable Award Agreement, vesting of any Award shall not occur solely upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and, in the event of a Change in Control or other changes

  
 15 

 
in the Company or the outstanding Stock by reason of a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange or other relevant change occurring after the date of the
grant of any Award, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any holder, may exercise any power enumerated in Section 3 (including the power to accelerate vesting, waive any forfeiture
conditions or otherwise modify or adjust any other condition or limitation regarding an Award) and may also effect one or more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual holders and which may vary among Awards held by any
individual holder: 
 (i) accelerate the time of exercisability of an Award so that such Award may be exercised in full or in part for a
limited period of time on or before a date specified by the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Awards and all rights of holders thereunder shall terminate; 

(ii) redeem in whole or in part outstanding Awards by requiring the mandatory surrender to the Company by selected holders of some or all of
the outstanding Awards held by such holders (irrespective of whether such Awards are then vested or exercisable) as of a date, specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Awards and pay to each holder an
amount of cash or other consideration per Award (other than a Dividend Equivalent or Cash Award, which the Committee may separately require to be surrendered in exchange for cash or other consideration determined by the Committee in its discretion)
equal to the Change in Control Price, less the Exercise Price with respect to an Option and less the grant price with respect to a SAR, as applicable to such Awards; provided, however, that to the extent the Exercise Price of an Option
or the grant price of an SAR exceeds the Change in Control Price, such Award may be cancelled for no consideration; 
 (iii) cancel Awards
that remain subject to a restricted period as of the date of a Change in Control or other such event without payment of any consideration to the Participant for such Awards; or 

(iv) make such adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control or other such event
(including the substitution, assumption, or continuation of Awards by the successor company or a parent or subsidiary thereof); 
 provided,
however, that so long as the event is not an Adjustment Event, the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is necessary to Awards then outstanding. If an Adjustment Event occurs, this
Section 8(e) shall only apply to the extent it is not in conflict with Section 8(d). 

9.    General Provisions. 

(a)    Tax Withholding. The Company and any of its Affiliates are authorized to withhold from any Award granted, or
any payment relating to an Award, including from a distribution of Stock, taxes due or potentially payable in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to

  
 16 

 
enable the Company, its Affiliates and Participants to satisfy the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award in such amounts as may be determined by the
Committee. The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the form of payment acceptable for such tax withholding obligations, including the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Stock (including previously owned shares, net settlement, a
broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to the Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate. Any determination made
by the Committee to allow a Participant who is subject to Rule 16b-3 to pay taxes with shares of Stock through net settlement or previously owned shares shall be approved by either a committee made up of
solely two or more Qualified Members or the full Board. If such tax withholding amounts are satisfied through net settlement or previously owned shares, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be so withheld or surrendered shall be the number
of shares of Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or surrender equal to the aggregate amount of such tax liabilities determined based on the greatest withholding rates for federal, state, foreign and/or local tax
purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment for the Company with respect to such Award, as determined by the Committee. 

(b)    Limitation on Rights Conferred under Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be
construed as (i) giving any Eligible Person or Participant the right to continue as an Eligible Person or Participant or in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the
Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate any Eligible Person’s or Participant’s employment or service relationship at any time, (iii) giving an Eligible Person or Participant any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan or to
be treated uniformly with other Participants and/or employees and/or other service providers, or (iv) conferring on a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until the Participant is duly issued or transferred
shares of Stock in accordance with the terms of an Award. 
 (c)    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan and Awards shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions thereof, except to the extent Delaware law
is preempted by federal law. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Stock hereunder is subject to applicable federal and state laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance,
sale, or delivery of such Stock. With respect to any claim or dispute related to or arising under the Plan, the Company and each Participant who accepts an Award hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the state and federal
courts located in Houston, Texas. 
 (d)    Severability and Reformation. If any provision of the Plan or any
Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed
or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction, person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or any 

  
 17 

 
Award Agreement conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (as those terms or provisions are applied to Eligible Persons who are subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act) or Section 422 of the Code (with respect to ISOs), then those conflicting terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (unless the Board or the Committee, as appropriate, has expressly determined that the Plan or such Award should not comply with Rule 16b-3) or Section 422 of the
Code, in each case, only to the extent Rule 16b-3 and such sections of the Code are applicable. With respect to ISOs, if the Plan does not contain any provision required to be included herein under
Section 422 of the Code, that provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if that provision had been set out at length herein; provided, further, that, to the extent any Option that is intended
to qualify as an ISO cannot so qualify, that Option (to that extent) shall be deemed a Nonstatutory Option for all purposes of the Plan. 

(e)    Unfunded Status of Awards; No Trust or Fund Created. The Plan is intended to constitute an
“unfunded” plan for certain incentive awards. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or
any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company or such
Affiliate. 
 (f)    Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission
to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable. Nothing contained in the Plan shall
be construed to prevent the Company or any of its Affiliates from taking any corporate action which is deemed by the Company or such Affiliate to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the
Plan or any Award made under the Plan. No employee, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any of its Affiliates as a result of any such action. 

(g)    Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any
Award, and the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares of Stock or whether such fractional shares of Stock or any rights thereto
shall be cancelled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated with or without consideration. 
 (h)    Interpretation.
Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision
thereof. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, and, where appropriate, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of an
Award Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. 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”,

  
 18 

 
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. References herein to any agreement, instrument or other document means 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 the Plan. 
 (i)    Facility of Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any
individual under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to manage properly his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such individual, or may be applied for the benefit of such individual in any
manner that the Committee may select, and the Company shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 

(j)    Conditions to Delivery of Stock. Nothing herein or in any Award Agreement shall require the Company to issue
any shares with respect to any Award if that issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act, any other applicable statute or regulation, or the rules of any applicable securities exchange or
securities association, as then in effect. In addition, each Participant who receives an Award under the Plan shall not sell or otherwise dispose of Stock that is acquired upon grant, exercise or vesting of an Award in any manner that would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws, the Plan or the rules, regulations or other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed. At the time of any exercise of an Option or
SAR, or at the time of any grant of any other Award, the Company may, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such Option or SAR or settlement of any other Award, require from the Participant (or in the event of his or her death, his or her
legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) such written representations, if any, concerning the holder’s intentions with regard to the retention or disposition of the shares of Stock being acquired pursuant to the Award and such
written covenants and agreements, if any, as to the manner of disposal of such shares as, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, may be necessary to ensure that any disposition by that holder (or in the event of the holder’s death, his or
her legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) will not involve a violation of the Securities Act, any other applicable state or federal statute or regulation, or any rule of any applicable securities exchange or securities
association, as then in effect. Stock or other securities shall not be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including any Exercise Price,
grant price, or tax withholding) is received by the Company. 
 (k)    Section 409A of the Code. It is the
general intention, but not the obligation, of the Committee to design Awards to comply with or to be exempt from the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules, and Awards will be operated and construed accordingly. Neither this
Section 9(k) nor any other provision of the Plan is or contains a representation to any Participant regarding the tax consequences of the grant, vesting, exercise, settlement, or sale of any Award (or the Stock underlying
such Award) granted hereunder, and should not be interpreted as such. In no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event 

  
 19 

 
that a “specified employee” (as defined under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules) becomes entitled to a payment under an Award that would be subject to additional taxes and
interest under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules if the Participant’s receipt of such payment or benefits is not delayed until the earlier of (i) the date of the Participant’s death, or (ii) the date that is six months
after the Participant’s “separation from service,” as defined under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules (such date, the “Section 409A Payment Date”), then such payment
or benefit shall not be provided to the Participant until the Section 409A Payment Date. Any amounts subject to the preceding sentence that would otherwise be payable prior to the Section 409A Payment Date will be aggregated and paid in a
lump sum without interest on the Section 409A Payment Date. The applicable provisions of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules are hereby incorporated by reference and shall control over any Plan or Award Agreement provision in conflict
therewith. 
 (l)    Clawback. The Plan and all Awards granted hereunder are subject to any written clawback
policies that the Company, with the approval of the Board or an authorized committee thereof, may adopt either prior to or following the Effective Date, including any policy adopted to conform to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act of 2010 and rules promulgated thereunder by the SEC and that the Company determines should apply to Awards. Any such policy may subject a Participant’s Awards and amounts paid or realized with respect to Awards to reduction,
cancelation, forfeiture or recoupment if certain specified events or wrongful conduct occur, including an accounting restatement due to the Company’s material noncompliance with financial reporting regulations or other events or wrongful
conduct specified in any such clawback policy. 
 (m)    Status under ERISA. The Plan shall not constitute an
“employee benefit plan” for purposes of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 

(n)    Plan Effective Date and Term. The Plan was adopted by the Board to be effective on the Effective Date. No
Awards may be granted under the Plan on and after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. However, any Award granted prior to such termination (or any earlier termination pursuant to Section 10), and the authority of
the Board or Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award in accordance with the terms of the Plan, shall extend beyond such termination until the final
disposition of such Award. 
 10.    Amendments to the Plan and Awards. The Committee may amend, alter,
suspend, discontinue or terminate any Award or Award Agreement, the Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant Awards without the consent of stockholders or Participants, except that any amendment or alteration to the Plan, including any
increase in any share limitation, shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders not later than the annual meeting next following such Committee action if such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or
regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the Committee may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other changes to the Plan to stockholders for
approval; provided, that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Committee action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any previously granted and outstanding

  
 20 

 
Award. For purposes of clarity, any adjustments made to Awards pursuant to Section 8 will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant
under any previously granted and outstanding Award and therefore may be made without the consent of affected Participants.
