immediately prior to the Effective Date.

 6.    Revocation Period. Employee acknowledges and agrees that
his receipt of the Separation Benefits is subject to his execution and non-revocation of the General Release, and that this Agreement will be neither effective nor enforceable, nor will the Separation Benefits

7.    Sole and Exclusive Benefits. This Agreement provides for the sole and exclusive benefits for which Employee
is eligible as a result of his separation of service with Employer, except as otherwise required by law, and Employee shall not be eligible for any contractual benefits under any other agreement or arrangement providing for benefits upon a
separation from service, including, but not limited to, any payments under any severance plan, policy or program of Employer. 

8.    No Admission of Liability. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an admission of liability by

understand that my employment with Employer will terminate, or has terminated, on March 31, 2019 (the “Separation Date”). 
  

	 	1.	 I understand that any benefits paid or granted to me under Section 4 of the Agreement represent, in part,

	 	2.	 Except as provided in paragraph 4 below, I knowingly and voluntarily release and forever discharge Employer and

may have against Employer or any of the Released Parties, by reason of any and all acts, omissions, events or facts occurring or existing prior to or on the date I sign this General Release. The claims in the preceding sentence include, without
limitation, all claims relating to or arising out of my service with Employer or the termination thereof; any and all claims arising under any contract of employment or service, whether express or implied; and any and all claims arising under any
provision of the Constitutions of the United States, the State of Louisiana or of any other state; any and all claims arising under any anti-discrimination statute including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act

expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing in this paragraph 2 collectively referred to herein as the “Released Claims”). 

  
 A-1 

	 	3.	 I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other
matter covered by paragraph 2 above. 

  

	 	4.	 I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. 

  

	 	5.	 With respect to the Released Claims, I understand and agree that I expressly waive any right or claim of right
that I may have under the law of any jurisdiction that a release such as the one given here does not apply to unknown or unstated claims. In connection with this waiver, I understand and acknowledge that I may hereafter discover claims presently
unknown or unsuspected, or facts in addition to or different from those which I may now know or believe to be true, with respect to the Released Claims. Nevertheless, I expressly waive any and all claims that I may have against any of the Released
Parties, including any which are presently unknown or unsuspected. 

  

	 	6.	 In signing this General Release, and subject to any limitations placed on this General Release as set forth
herein, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Released Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied, except as otherwise noted above. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full
force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Released Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of
unknown and unsuspected Released Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Released Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that
without such waiver Employer would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Released Claim seeking damages against Employer, or in the event I should seek to recover against Employer in any
Released Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Released Claims. The Parties agree that this General Release does not release, waive, or discharge any right of mine to file
an administrative charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), National Labor Relations Board, or any other government agency charged with the enforcement of any law. Moreover, nothing in this General Release is
intended to or shall interfere with my right to participate in a proceeding with any appropriate federal, state, or local agency enforcing discrimination laws, nor shall this General Release prohibit me from cooperating with any such agency in its
investigation, provided that if any such agency or any third party obtains an award of damages from Employer on my behalf, I agree to turn over any such amounts to Employer. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending charge or complaint of
the type described in paragraph 2 as of the execution of this General Release. 

  

	 	7.	 I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release,
shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by Employer, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct. 

  

	 	8.	 I agree that this General Release is confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms
of this General Release, except to my spouse and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone.

  
 A-2 

	 	9.	 Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit
or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any other
self-regulatory organization or governmental entity, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. I understand and acknowledge that I do not need the prior authorization of Employer
to make any such reports or disclosures and that I am not required to notify Employer that I have made such reports or disclosures. 

  

	 	10.	 By accepting any payments paid or granted to me under Section 4 of the Agreement, I acknowledge and agree
that I have been given an adequate opportunity to advise Employer’s human resources, legal, or other relevant management division, and has so advised such division in writing, of any facts that I am aware of that constitute or might constitute
a violation of any ethical, legal, or contractual standards or obligations of Employer. I further acknowledge and agree that I am not aware of any existing or threatened claims, charges, or lawsuits that I have not disclosed to Employer.

  

	 	11.	 Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein. 

  

	 	12.	 I understand that I may revoke this General Release within seven (7) calendar days of my execution thereof
by delivery and receipt of a written notice of revocation to the Chief Executive Officer of Employer by midnight on or before the seventh (7th) calendar day after I deliver an executed copy of
this General Release. 

 BY SIGNING THIS GENERAL RELEASE, I REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT: 

 

	 	(a)	 I HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY; 

 

	 	(b)	 I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE EXECUTING IT AND I HAVE DONE SO OR, AFTER CAREFUL
