8. No Rights to Awards. No Person shall have any claim to receive any Award under the Plan. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants regarding the number of Class A Units awarded or the manner in which Awards are made. The terms and conditions of Awards made under the Plan need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

9. Withholding Obligations. Payments made under the Plan shall be conditional upon the satisfaction by the Participant of any federal, state or local withholding or other taxes required to be paid by the Employer or any member of the Company Group on account of such payments, and, in this regard, the Company may (a) require that a Participant pay to the Employer or another member of the Company Group an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding or other taxes, (b) withhold such amount from any remuneration, distributions or other amounts payable to the Participant or (c) enter into any arrangements suitable to the Employer or another member of the Company Group, for the receipt of such amount.

10. Administration of the Plan.

(a) Authority of the Board. The Board shall administer the Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration to a Committee, as provided in Section 10(d).

(b) Powers of the Board. The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of this Plan and the LLC Agreement:

(i) To determine from time to time which of the employees and service providers of the Company Group shall be granted Class A Units; when and how each Class A Unit shall be granted, as applicable; the vesting conditions and other provisions of each Class A Unit granted (which need not be identical), including the time or times when a person shall be permitted to purchase or receive, as applicable, Class A Units pursuant to an Award; and the number of Class A Units with respect to which an Award shall be granted to each such person.

(ii) To designate those members of the Company Group whose officers, directors, employees or consultants may participate in the Plan.

(iii) To construe and interpret the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.

(iv) To establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan in accordance with its terms or waive any vesting or forfeiture conditions applicable to any Award.

(v) The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

(vi) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform any acts as the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company Group, which are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan or the LLC Agreement.


(c) No Liability. Neither the Board nor any officer, director or employee of any member of the Company Group shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award made under the Plan.

(d) Delegation to Committee. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees of one or more individuals or entities designated by the Board, and the term “Committee” shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated by the Board. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, to the extent delegated to the Committee by the Board, all powers theretofore possessed by the Board hereunder, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and re-vest in the Board the administration of the Plan.

(e) Effect of the Board’s Decision. The Plan and all determinations, interpretations and constructions of the Plan made by the Board in its reasonable good faith determination or discretion shall not, absent manifest error, be subject to review by any Person and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Persons, including all successors and assigns of the Company and a Participant, including without limitation, the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.

11. Amendment or Termination of the Plan. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the LLC Agreement, the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Class A Units may be granted under the Plan after it is terminated. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not materially impair the rights and obligations under any Award granted while the Plan is in effect without the consent of either the affected Participant or the consent of Participants holding a majority of the Class A Units then outstanding under the Plan.

12. Conflict Between or Among the Plan, the LLC Agreement, the Award and/or the Related Agreements. The Plan, the Awards and the Award Letters are subject to the LLC Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and therein, the LLC Agreement shall govern and prevail. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and in any other agreement (other than the LLC Agreement), this Plan shall govern and prevail.

13. Miscellaneous.

(a) Legal Compliance. Class A Units granted hereunder shall not be issued unless the issuance and delivery of such Class A Units shall comply with applicable laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Class A Units hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Class A Units as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the receipt of a Class A Unit, the Company may require the Participant (or any Employee Permitted Transferee) to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Class A Units are being acquired only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Class A Units if, on the advice of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.


(c) No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent any member of the Company Group from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the award of Class A Units, securities and other types of awards, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Plan is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid, legal and enforceable; if such provision cannot be amended as provided above, it shall be stricken and the remainder of this Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) Notice. Any notice must be in writing and provided in accordance with the applicable Award. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given under this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made when (i) delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) faxed or emailed to the recipient or (iii) one Business Day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid).

(g) Participant has been given ample opportunity to consult with independent tax, legal, accounting and other advisors and counsels regarding Participant’s rights and obligations hereunder, the Plan and the LLC Agreement and intends for such terms to be binding upon and enforceable against Participant, all of which are hereby voluntarily and willingly agreed to by Participant.

4. Confidentiality, Developments, and Non-Disparagement.

(a) Confidential Information.

(i) Company Group Information. Participant acknowledges that, during the course of Participant’s employment with any member of the Company Group, Participant will have access to information about the Company Group and that Participant’s employment with any member of the Company Group shall bring Participant into close contact with confidential and proprietary information of the Company Group. In recognition of the foregoing, Participant agrees, at all times during the term of Participant’s employment with any member of the Company Group and at all times thereafter, to hold in confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company Group, or to disclose to any Person, firm, corporation, or other entity without written authorization of the Company, any Confidential Information that Participant obtains or creates. Participant further agrees not to make copies of such Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company. Participant understands that “Confidential Information” means information that the Company Group has or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover, or own, that has value in or to the business of the Company Group that is not generally known and that the Company Group wishes to maintain as confidential. Participant understands that Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research, or development of the Company Group, or to the technical data, trade secrets, or know-how of the Company Group, including, but not limited to, research, development or product plans, or other information regarding the products or services and markets of the Company Group, customer lists, and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company Group on whom Participant called or with whom Participant may become acquainted during the term of Participant’s employment), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, drilling plans, acquisition strategies, marketing, finances, and other business information disclosed by the Company Group either directly or indirectly in writing, orally, or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other property of the Company Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include (A) any of the foregoing items that have become publicly and widely known through no unauthorized disclosure by Participant or others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved or (B) any information that Participant is required to disclose to, or by, any governmental or judicial authority.

(ii) Former Employer Information. Participant represents that Participant’s performance of all of any duties, responsibilities, and activities of employment, and Participant’s service as an employee of the Company Group has not breached and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by Participant in confidence or trust prior or subsequent to the commencement of Participant’s employment with any member of the Company Group, and Participant will not disclose to any member of the Company Group, or induce any such Person to use, any developments, or confidential or proprietary information or material Participant may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer in violation of a confidentiality agreement, nondisclosure agreement, or similar agreement with such prior employer.


(b) Developments.

(i) Developments Retained and Licensed. Participant must provide to the Company an executed list describing with particularity all developments, original works of authorship, improvements, and trade secrets that were created or owned by Participant prior to the commencement of Participant’s employment (collectively referred to as “Prior Developments”), that belong solely to Participant or belong to Participant jointly with another, that relate in any way to any of the proposed businesses, products, or research and development of the Company Group, and that are not assigned to the Company hereunder, or if no such list is provided, Participant represents that there are no such Prior Developments. If, during any period during which Participant performs or performed services for the Company Group both before or after the date of Participant’s commencement of employment (the “Assignment Period”), whether as an officer, employee, director, independent contractor, consultant, or agent, or in any other capacity, Participant incorporates (or has incorporated) into a Company Group product or process a Prior Development owned by Participant or in which Participant has an interest, Participant hereby grants the Company Group, and the Company Group shall have, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, sell, and otherwise distribute such Prior Development as part of or in connection with such product or process.

(ii) Assignment of Developments. Participant agrees that Participant will, without additional compensation, promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, and will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company Group, all developments, original works of authorship, inventions, concepts, know-how, improvements, trade secrets, and similar proprietary rights, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which Participant may (or have previously) solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the Assignment Period, whether or not during regular working hours, provided they either (i) relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the business of the Company Group, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company Group; (ii) result from or relate to any work performed for the Company Group; or (iii) are developed through the use of equipment, supplies, or facilities of the Company Group, or any Confidential Information, or in consultation with personnel of the Company Group (collectively referred to as “Developments”). Participant further acknowledges that all Developments made by Participant (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the Assignment Period are “works made for hire” (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) for which Participant is, in part, compensated by Participant’s salary, unless regulated otherwise by law, but that, in the event any such Development is deemed not to be a work made for hire, Participant hereby assigns to the Company Group, or its designee, all Participant’s right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to any such Development.

(iii) Maintenance of Records. Participant agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Developments made by Participant (solely or jointly with others) during the Assignment Period. The records may be in the form of


notes, sketches, drawings, flow charts, electronic data or recordings, or any other format. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company Group at all times. Participant agrees not to remove such records from the Company’s place of business except as expressly permitted by Company policy, which may, from time to time, be revised at the sole election of the Company for the purpose of furthering the business of the Company Group.
