Upon request by Client, Consultant agrees to promptly deliver to Client the original and any copies of such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to Confidential Information required by this Section 4 shall not apply to any Confidential Information required to be disclosed pursuant to a subpoena in any court or administrative proceeding, if sought in an oral deposition, or is otherwise required to be disclosed by law, in any such case only after giving Client as much advance notice of any such potential disclosure to permit the Client to seek a protective order limiting or preventing the disclosure. Additionally, nothing herein shall restrict Consultant from engaging in the activities set forth in Section 10 or engaging in any other legally protected activity. Additionally, and notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), Consultant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

5.Work Product. Client shall own all right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, trademark rights and all other intellectual property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, mask works, designations, designs, know-how, ideas, concepts, techniques and information made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by Consultant during the Term of this Agreement and that arise out of the Services or any Confidential Information (as defined below)(collectively, “Inventions”) and Consultant will promptly disclose and provide all Inventions to Client upon written request.

9. Remedies. In the event of a breach of the terms of this Agreement (Sections 4, 5, 6) by Consultant the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it would be difficult to measure the damage to the Company from such breach, that injury to the Company from such breach would be impossible to calculate and that monetary damages would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any breach. Accordingly, the Company, in addition to any and all other rights which may be available may be entitled to injunctive relief or other similar remedy specifically to enforce Sections 4, 5, and/or 6. Nothing

contained herein shall preclude the Client from seeking monetary damages of any kind, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other expenses, in a court of law.

Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or prohibit Consultant from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or from filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. Client to engage in such communications with the Regulators, respond to such inquiries from the Regulators, provide confidential information or documents to the Regulators, or make any such reports or disclosures to the Regulators. Consultant is not required to notify the Client that Consultant has engaged in such communications with the Regulators.

Any notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly given if in writing and: (i) delivered in person and a receipt is given; (ii) if sent by electronic transmission and receipt confirmation is received; or (iii) if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, in each case to the appropriate addresses and email addresses set forth below (or to such other addresses as a Party may designate by notice to the other Party):

b.Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement is intended to benefit only the Parties and may be enforced solely by the Parties, their successors in interest or permitted assigns. It is not intended to, and shall not, create rights, remedies or benefits of any character whatsoever in favor of any persons, corporations, associations, or entities other than the Parties, except as provided herein.

c.Waiver. Any waiver by a Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No such waiver shall be effective unless in writing and then only to the extent expressly set forth in writing.

d.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, whether oral or written, with respect to this subject matter. This Agreement may be amended only in a written amendment executed by all of the Parties to this Agreement.

e.Assignment. Consultant may not its rights or obligations hereunder without the express written consent of the Client. The Client may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or in the event of a corporate transaction, reorganization, or restructuring upon prior written notice to the Consultant.

f.Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a judicial body, such holding shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions hereof. Further, should any provisions within this Agreement ever be reformed or rewritten by a judicial body, such provisions as so rewritten shall be binding upon the Parties hereto.

g.Arbitration. Consultant and the Client agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, Consultant’s engagement with the Client, or the termination of Consultant’s engagement, shall be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-16, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration conducted by JAMS or its successor, under JAMS’ then applicable rules and procedures before a single arbitrator (available upon request and also currently available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensiv-arbitration/), or such other rules and procedures as may be required by law or agreed upon by the Parties. Consultant acknowledges that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Consultant and the Client waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding. In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this section, whether by Consultant or the Client, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. This Section 10(g) shall not apply to any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law, to the extent such claims are not permitted by applicable law(s) to be submitted to mandatory arbitration and the applicable law(s) are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act or otherwise invalid (collectively, the “Excluded Claims”). In the event Consultant intends to bring multiple claims, including any Excluded Claim(s), the Excluded Claim(s) may be filed with a court, while any other claims will remain subject to mandatory arbitration. Questions of whether a claim is subject to arbitration under this agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator. Likewise, procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded as to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all relief that Consultant or the Client would be entitled to seek in a court of law. The Parties equally share the cost of all JAMS arbitration fees and share bear their own attorney fees and costs, unless expressly provided for in this Agreement. Nothing in this agreement to arbitrate is intended to prevent either Consultant or the Client from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.

h.Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY FOR ANY OF THE PARTIES TO FILE AN ACTION TO OBTAIN INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR FOR EXCLUDED CLAIMS AS PERMITTED BY SECTION 10(g) THAT SUCH ACTION SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, AND THAT VENUE IS PROPER IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS.
