 ENERGY XXI SERVICES, LLC 
 2006 Long-term Incentive Plan 
 ARTICLE I 
 INTRODUCTION 
 1.1 Purpose. The
Energy XXI Services, LLC 2006 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to promote the interests of Energy XXI Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation, (the “Employer”) and its
stockholders (the “Stockholders”) by encouraging Employees, Service Providers and Non-Employee Directors (as each is defined below) to acquire or increase their equity interests in Energy XXI (Bermuda) Limited, a Bermuda
entity, and any successor entity (the “Company”) thereby giving them an added incentive to work toward the continued growth and success of the Employer and the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) also contemplates that through the Plan, the Company, the Employer and its Affiliates will be better able to compete for the services of the individuals needed for the continued growth and success of the Company.

 1.2 Shares Subject to the Plan. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, of the Company (“Common
Stock”) that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed one million two hundred fifty thousand (1,250,000) shares. No more than 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock shall be issued to any one Participant pursuant to this Plan in any
one calendar year. Notwithstanding the above, however, in the event that at any time after the Effective Date (as defined below) the outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided, consolidated, split-up, spun-off, reclassified, recapitalized, or
changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or the like, the
aggregate number and class of securities available under the Plan (or issuable to any one Participant pursuant to this Plan in any one calendar year) shall be ratably adjusted by the Committee (as defined below), whose determination shall be final
and binding upon the Company and all other interested persons. In the event the number of shares to be delivered upon the exercise or payment of any Award (as defined below) granted under the Plan is reduced for any reason whatsoever or in the event
any Award granted under the Plan can no longer under any circumstances be exercised or paid, the number of shares no longer subject to such Award shall thereupon be released from such Award and shall thereafter be available under the Plan for the
grant of additional Awards. Shares issued pursuant to the Plan (i) may be treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares or, if applicable, shares acquired in the open market and (ii) shall be fully paid and nonassessable. 
 1.3 Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
interpret the Plan and all Awards under the Plan, shall make such rules as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, shall make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan and shall correct
any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award under the Plan in the manner and to the extent that the Committee deems desirable to effectuate the Plan. Any action taken or determination made by the
Committee pursuant to this and the other paragraphs of the Plan shall be conclusive on all parties. The act or 

 
determination of a majority of the Committee shall be deemed to be the act or determination of the Committee. 
 1.4 Amendment and Discontinuance of the Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that, without the consent of
the holder of an Award, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may terminate such Award or adversely affect such person’s rights with respect to such Award in any material respect; provided further, however, that any amendment
which would constitute a “material revision” of the Plan (as that term is used in the rules of any exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) that would require Stockholder approval under the applicable exchange rules on which the
Common Stock is traded, shall be subject to Stockholder approval and/or approval of the shareholders of the Company, whichever is applicable under the applicable exchange rules. 
 1.5 Granting of Awards to Participants. The Committee shall have the authority to grant, prior to the expiration date of the Plan, Awards to such
Employees, Service Providers and Non-Employee Directors as may be selected by it on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in the Plan. In selecting the persons to receive Awards, including the type and size of the Award, the Committee may
consider any factors that it may deem relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Awards made to members of the Committee or any Service Provider to the Committee or the Board, must be approved by the full Board. 
 1.6 Term of Plan. The Plan has been adopted by the board of directors of the Employer and the Company. The Plan is effective as of October 6,
2006 (the “Effective Date”), subject to approval by the Stockholders and the shareholders of the Company. The provisions of the Plan are applicable to all Awards granted on or after the Effective Date. If not sooner
terminated under the provisions of Section 1.4 hereof, the Plan shall terminate upon, and no further Awards shall be made, after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. 
 1.7 Leave of Absence. If an Employee is
on military, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence, such person shall be considered an “Employee” for purposes of an outstanding Award during the period of such leave provided it does not exceed ninety (90) days, or, if
longer, so long as the person’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds ninety (90) days, such Employee’s Employment (as defined below) shall be deemed to have terminated on
the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave, unless the person’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by
statute or contract.

 2.2 Calculation of Exercise Price. The exercise price to be paid for each share of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of each Option granted
under this Article II shall not be less than the FMV Per Share on 
 the date of grant of such Option. The exercise price for each Option granted under this

 2.3 Terms and Conditions of Options. Options
shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and may contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with this Article II, as the Committee shall deem
desirable: 
 (a) Option Period and Conditions and Limitations on Exercise. No Option shall be exercisable later than the Option
Expiration Date. To the extent not prohibited by other provisions of the Plan, each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times as the Committee in its discretion may determine at the time such Option is granted. 
  

 7 

 (b) Manner of Exercise. In order to exercise an Option, the person or persons entitled to exercise
it shall deliver to the Company payment in full for the shares being purchased, together with any required withholding taxes. The payment of the exercise price, together with any required withholding taxes, for each Option shall be made (i) in
cash or by check payable and acceptable to the Company, (ii) with the consent of the Committee, by tendering to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the person for more than six months having an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date
of exercise that is not greater than the full exercise price for the shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and by paying any remaining amount of the exercise price as provided in (i) above, or (iii) subject to such
instructions as the Committee may specify, at the person’s written request the Company may deliver certificates for the shares of Common Stock for which the Option is being exercised to a broker for sale on behalf of the person, provided that
the person has irrevocably instructed such broker to remit directly to the Company on the person’s behalf the full amount of the exercise price from the proceeds of such sale. In the event that the person elects to make payment as allowed under
clause (ii) above, the Committee may, upon confirming that the Optionee owns the number of additional shares being tendered, authorize the issuance of a new certificate for the number of shares being acquired pursuant to the exercise of the
Option less the number of shares being tendered upon the exercise and return to the person (or not require surrender of) the certificate for the shares being tendered upon the exercise. If the Committee so requires, such person or persons shall also
deliver a written representation that all shares being purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of such shares. 
 (c) Options not Transferable. Except as provided below, no Non-Qualified Option granted hereunder shall be transferable other than by
(i) will or by the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order and, during the lifetime of the Participant to whom any such Option is granted, and it shall be exercisable only by the Participant (or his
guardian). Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or to subject to execution, attachment or similar process, any Option granted hereunder, or any right thereunder, contrary to the provisions hereof, shall be
void and ineffective, shall give no right to the purported transferee, and shall, at the sole discretion of the Committee, result in forfeiture of the Option with respect to the shares involved in such attempt. With respect to a specific
Non-Qualified Option, the Participant (or his guardian), subject to the 
 consent of the Committee, may transfer, for estate planning purposes, all or part
of such Option to one or more immediate family members or related family trusts or partnerships or similar entities. 
 (d) Adjustment of
Options. In the event that at any time after the Effective Date the outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided, consolidated, split-up, spun-off, reclassified, recapitalized, or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of
shares or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or the like, the Committee shall make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the
number and kind of shares, and the exercise price per share, as to which all outstanding Options granted, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable, to the end that after such event the shares subject to the Plan and each
Participant’s proportionate interest shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Such adjustment in an outstanding Option shall be made without change in the total price 

  

 8 

 
applicable to the Option or the unexercised portion of the Option (except for any change in the aggregate price resulting from rounding of share quantities
or prices) and with any necessary corresponding adjustment in exercise price per share. Any such adjustment made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon all Participants, the Company and all other interested persons. 
 (e) Listing and Registration of Shares. Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Committee determines, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration, or qualification of the shares subject to such Option under any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue or purchase of shares thereunder, such Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained and the same shall have been free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 
 2.4 Amendment. The Committee may,
without the consent of the person or persons entitled to exercise any outstanding Option, amend, modify or terminate such Option; provided, however, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without such person’s consent, reduce or
diminish the value of such Option determined as if the Option had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination or cause such Option to be subject to adverse tax consequences under section 409A
of the Code. The Committee may at any time or from time to time, in its discretion, in the case of any Option which is not then immediately exercisable in full, accelerate the time or times at which such Option may be exercised to any earlier time
or times. 
 2.5 Acceleration of Vesting. Any Option granted hereunder which is not otherwise vested shall vest (unless specifically
provided to the contrary by the Committee in the document or instrument evidencing an Option granted hereunder) upon (i) termination of an Employee or Service Provider without Cause or termination by an Employee or Service Provider with Good
Reason; (ii) termination, removal or resignation of an Employee, Service Provider or Non-Employee Director for any reason within one (1) year from the effective date of the Change of Control; or (iii) death or Disability of the
Participant. 
 2.6 Other Provisions. 
 (a) The person or persons entitled to exercise, or who have exercised, an Option shall not be entitled to any rights as a Stockholder with respect to any shares subject to such Option until he shall have become the
holder of record of such shares. 
 (b) No Option granted hereunder shall be construed as limiting any right which the Employer, the Company
or any Affiliate may have to terminate at any time, with or without cause, the Employment of any person to whom such Option has been granted. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or the terms of any Option, the Company shall not be required to issue any shares hereunder if such issuance would, in the judgment of the Committee, constitute a violation of any state, local
or federal law or of the rules or regulations of any governmental regulatory body. 
  

 9 

 2.7 No Option Repricing Without Stockholder Approval. With the approval of the shareholders of the
Company, the Committee may grant to holders of outstanding Non-Qualified Options, in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of such Non-Qualified Options, new Non-Qualified Options having exercise prices lower than the exercise price provided
in the Non-Qualified Options so surrendered and canceled. 
 ARTICLE III 
 INCENTIVE OPTIONS 
 The terms specified below shall be applicable to all
Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Article III, all the provisions of Article II hereof shall also be applicable to Incentive Options. Non-Qualified Options shall not be subject to the terms of this Article
III. 
 3.1 Eligibility. Incentive Options may be granted only to Employees of (i) the Employer or the Company, (ii) any
“parent corporation” of the Company (as defined in section 424(e) of the Code) or (iii) any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company (as defined in section 424(f) of the Code). Incentive Options may be granted only if the
Plan is approved by the Stockholders of the Employer within one year prior to or after the Effective Date. 
 3.2 Exercise Price. The
exercise price per Share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the FMV Per Share on the Option Grant Date (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.3(d)). 
 3.3 Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of shares of Common Stock for
which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Employer, the Company or an Affiliate) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall not
exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such Options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of
such Options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Options are granted. 
 3.4 10%
Stockholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% stockholder of the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the FMV Per
Share on the Option Grant Date and the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the Option Grant Date.

 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS 
 4.1 Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Employees, Service Providers or Non-Employee Directors on the following terms and conditions, provided that such
grant does not constitute a deferral of compensation within the meaning of section 409A of the Code. 
 (a) Right to Payment. A Stock
Appreciation Right shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the FMV Per Share on the date of exercise over (B) the FMV Per Share on the date of grant. Such excess
may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award agreement.

to Options. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option shall entitle a Participant, upon exercise thereof, to surrender that Option or any portion thereof, to the extent unexercised, and to receive payment of an amount
computed pursuant to Subsection 4.1(a) hereof. That Option shall then cease to be exercisable to the extent surrendered. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option shall be exercisable only at such time or times and only to the

subdivided, consolidated, split-up, spun-off, reclassified, recapitalized, or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or the like, the Committee shall make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights granted, to the end that after such event the Stock
Appreciation Rights subject to the Plan and 

  

 11

final and binding upon all Participants, the Company and all other interested persons.

separately or in combination, installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. 
 (b) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise
determined by the Committee or as may be set forth in any Award, employment or other agreement pertaining to a Restricted Stock Unit Award, upon termination of Employment or services during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which
forfeiture conditions apply, all Restricted Stock Unit Awards that are at that time subject to deferral (other than a deferral at the election of the Participant) shall be forfeited; provided that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or
in any Award agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes,
and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Unit Awards.

 ARTICLE VI 
 PERFORMANCE AWARDS 
 6.1 Performance Awards. To the extent the Committee determines that any
Award granted pursuant to this Plan shall be contingent upon performance goals or shall constitute performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, the grant or settlement of the Award shall, in the Committee’s
discretion, be subject to the achievement of performance goals determined and applied in a manner consistent with this Section 6.1. The Committee may grant Performance Awards based on performance criteria measured over a Performance Period. The
Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions, and may exercise its discretion to increase the amounts payable under any Award subject to performance
conditions except as limited under Section 6.2 hereof in the case of a Performance Award granted to a Covered Employee. 
 6.2
Performance Goals. The grant and/or settlement of a Performance Award shall be contingent upon the terms set forth in this Section 6.2. 
 (a) General. The performance goals for Performance Awards shall consist of one or more business criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each such criteria, as specified by the Committee. In the case of
any Award granted to a Covered Employee, performance goals shall be designed to be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder (including Treasury Regulations sec. 1.162-27 and
successor regulations thereto), including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee are such that the achievement of performance goals is “substantially uncertain” at the time the Award is granted.
The Committee may determine that such Performance Awards shall be granted and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance goal or that two or more of the performance goals must be achieved as a condition to the grant and/or settlement of such
Performance Awards. Performance goals may differ among Performance Awards granted to any one Participant or for Performance Awards granted to different Participants. 
 (b) Business Criteria. One or more of the following business criteria for the Company, an a consolidated basis, and/or for specified subsidiaries, divisions or business or geographical units of the Company
(except with respect to the total stockholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall be used by the Committee in establishing performance goals for Performance Awards granted to a Participant: (i) earnings per share; (ii) increase
in revenues; (iii) increase in cash flow; (iv) increase in cash flow return; (v) return on net assets; (vi) return on assets; (vii) return on investment; (viii) return on capital; (ix) return on equity;
(x) economic value added; (xi) gross margin; (xii) net income; (xiii) pretax earnings; (xiv) pretax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization; (xv) pretax operating earnings after interest expense and
before incentives, service fees, and extraordinary or special items; (xvi) operating income; (xvii) total stockholder return; (xviii) debt reduction; (xix) any other operational criteria determined by the Committee; and
(xx) any of the above goals determined on the absolute or relative basis or as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500
Stock Index or a group of comparable companies. 
  

 14 

 (c) Timing for Establishing Performance Goals. Performance goals in the case of any Award granted
to a Participant who is a Covered Employee shall be established not later than ninety (90) days after the beginning of any Performance Period applicable to such Performance Awards, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 (d) Settlement of Performance Awards; Other
Terms. After the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the amount, if any, of Performance Awards payable to each Participant based upon achievement of business criteria over a Performance Period. The Committee may not
exercise discretion to increase any such amount payable in respect of a Performance Award to a Covered Employee which is designed to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which such Performance
Awards shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of Employment by the Participant prior to the end of a Performance Period or settlement of Performance Awards. 
 (e) Written Determinations. All determinations by the Committee as to the establishment of performance goals, the amount of any Performance Award,
and the achievement of performance goals relating to Performance Awards shall be made in writing in the case of any Award granted to a Participant. The Committee may not delegate any responsibility relating to Performance Awards discussed in this
Section 6.2(e). 
 (f) Status of Performance Awards under Section 162(m) of the Code. It is the intent of the Employer and
the Company that Performance Awards granted to persons who are designated by the Committee as likely to be Covered Employees within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder (including Treasury Regulations sec.
1.162-27 and successor regulations thereto) shall, if so designated by the Committee, constitute “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the terms of
this Section 6.2 shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder. If any provision of the Plan as in effect on the date of adoption or any agreements relating to Performance Awards
that are designated as intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended
to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 OTHER STOCK OR PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS 
 The Committee is hereby authorized to
grant to Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Service Providers of the Company or its Affiliates, Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards, which shall consist of a right which (i) is not an Award described in any other Article and (ii) is
denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) or cash as are deemed by the
Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Stock or Performance-Based Award. 
  

 15 

 ARTICLE VIII 
 CERTAIN PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS 
 8.1 General. Awards may be granted on the terms
and conditions set forth herein. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including terms
requiring forfeiture of Awards in the event of termination of Employment by the Participant and terms permitting a Participant to make elections relating to his Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend any Award without the
consent of the holder if the Committee deems it necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to the holder under Code Section 409A. The Committee shall retain full power and discretion to accelerate or waive, at any time, any term or condition
of an Award that is not mandatory under this Plan; provided, however, that the Committee shall not have discretion to accelerate or waive any term or condition of an Award (i) if such discretion would cause the Award to have
adverse tax consequences to the Participant under 409A, or (ii) if the Award is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and such discretion would cause the Award not to
so qualify. 
 8.2 Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the
Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or an
Affiliate, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate. Such additional, tandem and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. If an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another
Award, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award in consideration for the grant of the new Award. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, Options granted in substitution or exchange for an option in a corporate
transaction shall be granted in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations section 1.424-1. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including, but not limited to, in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of
the Company or any Affiliate. 
 8.3 Term of Awards. The term or Restricted Period of each Award that is an Option, Stock Appreciation
Right, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Restricted Stock shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided that in no event shall the term of any such Award exceed a period of ten (10) years (or such shorter terms as may be
required in respect of an Incentive Option). 
 8.4 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 an Affiliate upon the exercise of an Option or other Award or settlement of an Award may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis.
The settlement of any Award may, subject to any limitations set forth in the related Award agreement, be accelerated and cash may be paid in lieu of shares in connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the Committee or upon occurrence of
one or more specified events; provided, however, such discretion may not be exercised if the exercise of such discretion would result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant under Section 409A of the Code. In the discretion of the

  

 16 

 
Committee, Awards granted pursuant to Article IV or VI hereof may be payable in cash or shares to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Award
agreement. Installment or deferred payments may be required by the Committee (subject to Section 1.4 hereof, including the consent provisions thereof in the case of any deferral of an outstanding Award not provided for in the original Award
agreement) or permitted at the election of the Participant on terms and conditions established by the Committee; provided, however, that no deferral shall be required or permitted by the Committee if such deferral would result in adverse tax
consequences to the Participant under Section 409A of the Code. 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 amounts in
respect of installment or deferred payments denominated in shares. Any deferral shall only be allowed as is provided in a separate deferred compensation plan adopted by the Company, which plan shall be compliant with Section 409A of the Code.
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. 
 8.5 Vested and Unvested Awards. After the satisfaction of all of the terms and conditions set by the Committee with respect to an Award of (i) Restricted Stock, a certificate, without the legend set forth
in Section 5.2(c) hereof, for the number of shares that are no longer subject to such restrictions, terms and conditions shall be delivered to the Employee, (ii) Restricted Stock Unit Award, to the extent not paid in cash, a certificate
for the number of shares equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock Unit Award earned, and (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights or Performance Awards, cash and/or a certificate for the number of shares equal in value to the number of Stock
Appreciation Rights or amount of Performance Awards vested shall be delivered to the person. Upon termination, resignation or removal of a Participant under circumstances that do not cause such Participant to become fully vested, any remaining
unvested Options, shares of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit Award, Stock Appreciation Rights or Performance Awards, as the case may be, shall either be forfeited back to the Employer or the Company or, if appropriate under the terms of the
Award, shall continue to be subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set by the Committee with respect to such Award. 
 8.6
Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. It is the intent of the Company that the grant of any Awards to or other transaction by a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act shall be exempt from Section 16(b) of the
1934 Act pursuant to an applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged by the Participant in writing to be non-exempt). Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan or any Award agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3
under the 1934 Act as then applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under
Section 16(b). 
 8.7 Other Provisions. No grant of any Award shall be construed as limiting any right which the Employer, the
Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate at any time, with or without cause, the Employment of any person to whom such Award has been granted. 
  

 17 

 ARTICLE IX 
 WITHHOLDING FOR TAXES 
 Any issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option or payment
of any other Award under the Plan shall not be made until appropriate arrangements, satisfactory to the Employer and the Company, have been made for the payment of any tax amounts (federal, state, local or other) that may be required to be withheld
or paid by the Employer or the Company with respect thereto. Such arrangements may, at the discretion of the Committee, include allowing the person to tender to the Employer or the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the person, or to request
the Employer or the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock being acquired pursuant to the Award, whether through the exercise of an Option or as a distribution pursuant to the Award, which have an aggregate FMV Per Share as of the date of such
withholding that is not greater than the sum of all tax amounts to be withheld with respect thereto, together with payment of any remaining portion of such tax amounts in cash or by check payable and acceptable to the Employer or the Company.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the date of an event giving rise to a tax withholding obligation on the part of the Employer or the
Company the person is an officer or individual subject to Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such person may direct that such tax withholding be effectuated by the Employer or the Company withholding the
necessary number of shares of Common Stock (at the tax rate required by the Code) from such Award payment or exercise. 
 ARTICLE X

 MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards and the terms and
conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 
 10.2 No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall
not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Employer, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Employer, the Company or any Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from Employment, free from any
liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement. 
 10.3 Governing
Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any principles of
conflicts of law. 
 10.4 Severability. 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 Participant 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
laws, 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 

  

 18 

 
stricken as to such jurisdiction, Participant or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

 10.6 409A Compliance—No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. It is the intention of the Employer and the Company that all Awards granted by the Committee be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code in all respects and the Plan
shall be so construed; provided, however that the Participant shall be solely responsible for and liable for any tax consequences (including but not limited to any interest or penalties) as a result of participation in the Plan. Neither the Board,
nor the Employer, the Company nor the Committee 
 makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will apply or be available
to any person participating or eligible to participate hereunder and assumes no liability whatsoever for the tax consequences to the Participants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any amounts payable hereunder are reasonably
determined by the Committee to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” payable to a “specified employee” upon “separation from service” (within the meaning of section 409A of the Code) then such amounts that would
otherwise be payable upon separation from service shall be held and not be paid by the Company upon separation from service, but shall be paid as soon as administratively feasible following the earlier of: (1) the first day that is six months
following the Participant’s separation from service; or (2) Participant’s date of death. Such amounts that would otherwise be payable in installments commencing on separation from service shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on
the date that is the earlier of (1) or (2) above and shall be paid in installments thereafter.

Agreements. The Committee may condition the grant, exercise or payment of any Award upon such person entering into a stockholders’ agreement in such form as approved from time to time by the Board.

stock dividends, spin-offs of assets or other extraordinary dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, liquidations, issuances of rights or warrants and similar transactions or
events involving the Employer (“Recapitalization Events”), then for all purposes references herein to Stock or to Restricted Shares shall mean and include all securities or other property (other than cash) that holders of Stock of the
Employer are entitled to receive in respect of Stock by reason of each successive Recapitalization Event, which securities or other property (other than cash) shall be treated in the same manner and shall be subject to the same restrictions as the
underlying Restricted Shares. 
 9. Status of Stock. The Stock granted hereunder has not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). In the absence of such effective registration or an available exemption from registration under the Act, issuance of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement will be delayed until
registration of such shares is effective or an exemption from registration under the Act is available. The Employer intends to use its reasonable efforts to ensure that no such delay will occur. In the event exemption from registration under the Act
is available, Participant (or the person permitted to receive Participant’s shares in the event of Participant’s incapacity or death), if requested by the Employer to do so, will execute and deliver to the Employer in writing an agreement
containing such provisions as the Employer may require assuring compliance with applicable securities laws. The Employer shall incur no liability to Participant for failure to register the Stock or maintain the registration. 
 Participant agrees that the shares of Stock, which Participant may acquire pursuant to this Agreement, will not be sold or otherwise disposed of
in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, whether federal or state. Participant also agrees (i) that the certificates representing such shares of Stock may bear such legend or legends as the Committee
deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) that the Employer may refuse to register the transfer of the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement on the stock transfer records of the Employer
if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Employer constitute a violation of any applicable securities law and (iii) that the Employer may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop
registration of the transfer of such shares. 
 10. Severability. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement shall be held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be fully severable and shall not affect 

  

 3 

 
the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had
never been included herein. 
 12. Certain Restrictions. By executing this Agreement, Participant acknowledges that
he will enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements and execute such documents as the Employer may reasonably request in order to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, or securities laws or any other applicable
laws, rules or regulations. 
 13. Amendment and Termination. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, no
amendment or termination of this Agreement shall be made by the Employer without the written consent of the Participant. 
 14. No
Guarantee of Tax Consequences. The Employer makes no commitment or guarantee to Participant that any federal or state tax treatment will apply or be available to any person eligible for benefits under this Agreement. 

15. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors to the Employer and all persons
lawfully claiming under Participant. 
 16. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas. The courts in Harris County, Texas shall be the exclusive venue for any dispute regarding the Plan or this Agreement.
