For the avoidance of doubt, termination of employment solely from RCP or solely from P10 shall not be considered a termination of employment.

Section 5.1 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

5.1 Non-Renewal of the Employment Term; Termination for Cause or Without Good Reason.

(iii) the Company’s failure to obtain an agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no succession had taken place, except where the assumption occurs by operation of law; or

(iv) a material, adverse change in the Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities (other than temporarily while the Executive is physically or mentally incapacitated or as required by applicable law).

(v) a permanent relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment by more than one hundred (100) miles from the location set forth in Section 3;

If the Executive does not terminate his employment for Good Reason within one hundred eighty (180) days after the first occurrence of the applicable grounds, then the Executive will be deemed to have waived his right to terminate for Good Reason with respect to those grounds.

If the Executive and P10 cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make the determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to P10 and the Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 7.3 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

7.3 Disclosure and Use Restrictions. During the course of the Executive’s employment or engagement and at all times thereafter, the Executive acknowledges, covenants, and agrees not to use or disclose any Confidential Information except as reasonably necessary to perform his or her duties and responsibilities for the Company and/or its affiliates. The Executive further acknowledges, covenants, and agrees that the Executive shall maintain, at all times, all Confidential Information in a confidential manner and protect it from disclosure, orally or otherwise, to any Person, and shall take reasonable measures to ensure that the Confidential Information is, at all times, both during and after the Employment Term, maintained in a confidential manner. If, at any time, the Executive is required by law or regulation to produce any of the Company’s and its Affiliates’ Confidential Information to any third party, the request shall be forwarded to the Company and the production of such Confidential Information, if any, shall be approved and supervised by the Company’s attorneys. For purposes of illustration and not by way of limitation, violations of this Section 7.3 can occur as a result of: (a) forwarding Confidential Information to personal e-mail accounts, (b) failing to encrypt Confidential Information prior to electronically transmitting such Confidential Information, and/or (c) storing Confidential Information on a device not owned by the Company.

The Executive’s obligations under this Agreement with regard to any particular Confidential Information shall commence immediately upon the Executive first having access to the Confidential Information (whether before or after his begins employment by the Company) and shall continue during and after his employment by the Company until the Confidential Information has become public knowledge other than as a result of the Executive’s breach of this Agreement or breach by those acting in concert with the Executive or on the Executive’s behalf.

Section 8 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

8. Restrictive Covenants.

8.1 Acknowledgement. Executive, acknowledges and agrees that the provisions set forth in this Section 8 are material terms to this Agreement and are fair and reasonable. Additionally, the nature of the Executive’s position gives him access to and knowledge of Confidential Information and places him in a position of trust and confidence with the Company. The services the Executive provides to the Company are unique, special, or extraordinary. The Company’s ability to preserve Confidential Information for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Company and to otherwise preserve the goodwill of the Company is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Company, and improper use or disclosure by the Executive is likely to result in unfair or unlawful competitive activity.

8.2 Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference. In order to protect the Company’s and its affiliates’ confidential interest in their Confidential Information, the Executive acknowledges, covenants, and agrees, as an express condition of this Agreement with the Company, that during the Employment Term and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either for himself or for any other Person: (i) use any Confidential Information of the Company, including any non-public information regarding the skills, ability or compensation of other the Company’s and its affiliates’ employees, to solicit or attempt to solicit any employee of the Company to work for a different entity, or at any time unlawfully disrupt, damage, impair or interfere with the Company by raiding its work staff or unlawfully enticing or encouraging any employee to terminate their relationship with the Company; or (ii) use any trade secrets or Confidential Information of the Company to solicit, divert or attempt to solicit or divert from the Company the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers or accounts of the Company, or at any time unlawfully interfere with the relationship between the Company and any of its clients or customers in unfair competition against the Company. However, nothing in this Section 8.2 shall limit or reduce the Executive’s obligation to protect at all times the Confidential Information of the Company as set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3 hereof.

8.3 Blue Pencil. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the term of any particular restrictive covenant contained in Section 7, Section 8, or Section 9 too lengthy or the geographic area covered too extensive, the other provisions of Sections 7, Section 8 or Section 9 shall nevertheless stand, the term shall be deemed to be the longest period permissible by law under the circumstances and the geographic area covered shall be deemed to comprise the largest territory permissible by law under the circumstances. The court in each case shall reduce the term and/or geographic area covered to a permissible duration or sizes.

Section 9 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

9. Non-disparagement. The Executive will not in any way make any negative, disparaging, derogatory, or harmful comments about the Company, its Affiliates, or their respective members, managers, officers, or employees to any third party. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive determines in good faith that the Executive should not comment in response to a particular question from a third party, such failure to comment shall not constitute a negative, disparaging, derogatory, or harmful comment. However, nothing in this Section 9 shall limit or restrict the Executive from making any truthful statements which are permitted or required to be made in connection with any appearance before a court or governmental agency or regulatory body.

Section 14 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

14. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is entered into in Dallas, Texas and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Texas.

Section 15 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

15. Arbitration. Any controversy between the parties involving the construction or application of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement shall be subject to arbitration to be held in Dallas, Texas in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect. The dispute will be decided by a single neutral arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by the parties from JAMS’ panel of arbitrators. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in the dispute or controversy. The arbitration shall allow for reasonable discovery as agreed to by the parties or as directed by the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be made in writing and will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. The prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs, including attorney’s fees, as allowed by law and determined by the arbitrator. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction. This provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

Section 17 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

17. Modification and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless the amendment or modification is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by P10. No waiver by either of the parties of any breach by the other party of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time, nor shall the failure of or delay by either of the parties in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver thereof to preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 22 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

22. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assigned by the Executive.
