The Company will award Executive restricted stock units (the “Transition RSUs”) with an aggregate gross value of $100,000.00 based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the trading day preceding the grant date of such award. The Transition RSUs will be issued on the Transition Date under the P10, Inc. 2021

Any benefits available to the Executive are subject to the rules of the relevant plan or program from time to time in force. Executive shall also receive reimbursement for Executive’s cost of COBRA premiums for health insurance coverage (to the extent such premiums exceed the contributory cost for the same coverage that the Company charges active employees) for a period of twelve (12) months following the Transition End Date or until Executive’s right to COBRA continuation expires, whichever is shorter, provided that Executive timely elects and is eligible for COBRA coverage.

(f)

Reaffirmation of Executive’s Right to Participate in P10 Funds. In accordance with Section 7(e) of the Employment Agreement, during the Transition Period and thereafter, Executive shall have the perpetual right and option to invest personally in all P10 funds, free from any fees or carry, subject only to such investment limits that the General Partner of such fund imposes on all P10 executives or employees not directly involved in such P10 fund, and any such investment limitations shall apply equally among all other P10 executives and employees, and Executive shall have an investment allocation no less than any other officer or employee of P10 or its affiliates not directly involved in such fund.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing Release in Section 6(b), in the event Executive is found guilty of or enters a plea of nolo contendere to any criminal action based upon conduct occurring during the Term of the Employment Agreement or Transition Period, the Company, P10, and Company Released Parties do not waive any rights they may have to assert claims for civil damages or injunctive relief arising out of the same conduct or actions forming the basis of the criminal conviction.

Executive’s Affirmation. Executive affirms that as of the date of this Agreement, he has been paid and/or has received all leave (paid or unpaid); compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, and/or benefits to which he may be entitled, and that no other leave (paid or unpaid), compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, and/or benefits are due to Executive except as provided under this Agreement. Executive further affirms that he has not been retaliated

against for reporting any allegations of wrongdoing by the Company, P10, or its officers, including any allegations of corporate fraud or discriminated against based on Executive’s actual or perceived status in any protected class or status recognized by state or federal law.

No Initiated Claims. Executive represents, warrants, and agrees that he has not filed any lawsuits or arbitrations against the Company, P10, Affiliated Entities, or any Company Released Parties, or filed or caused to be filed any claims, charges, or complaints against the Company, Affiliated Entities, or any Company Released Parties, in any administrative, judicial, arbitral, or other forum, including any charges or complaints against the Company, P10, Affiliated Entities, or any Company Released Parties with any international, federal, state, or local agency charged with the enforcement of any law or any self-regulatory organization, and Executive is not aware of any factual or legal basis for any legitimate claim that the Company, P10, Affiliated Entities, or any Company Released Parties are in violation of any whistleblower, corporate compliance, or other regulatory obligation under international, federal, state, or local law, rule, or Company policy. Executive further represents, warrants, and agrees that if he were ever aware of any such basis for a legitimate claim against the Company, P10, Affiliated Entities, or any Related Parties, Executive informed the Company of same.

10.

No Admission. This Agreement shall not be construed as an admission by either the Company, P10, the Affiliated Entities, Company Released Parties, or Executive that they acted wrongfully.

11.

Return of Property. Executive agrees that within ten (10) business days of the Transition Date, he shall return all of the Company’s, P10’s, and the Affiliated Entities’ property in his possession, including without limitation, all documents, records, files, notebooks, manuals, letters, notes, reports, customer and supplier lists, cost and profit data, e-mail, apparatus, laptops, computers, smartphones, tablets or other PDAs, hardware, software, drawings, blueprints, and any other material of the Company, P10, P10 Holdings, or any Affiliated Entities or clients, including all materials pertaining to Confidential Information developed by Executive or others, and all copies of such materials, whether of a technical, business or fiscal nature, whether on the hard drive of a laptop or desktop computer, in hard copy, disk or any other format, which are in his possession, custody or control; provided, however, that (i) Executive may retain such property, documents, and information as are required in connection with his role as Executive Chairman, it being understood that the Executive shall be obliged to return such materials on or before the Transition End Date. Executive agrees that in the event Executive subsequently discovers any Company, P10, or Affiliated Entities’ property in Executive’s possession, Executive will promptly return such property. This Section 11 shall supersede and replace Executive’s obligations in Section 6(a)(ii) of the Employment Agreement.

12.

Reaffirmation of Confidentiality Obligations and Restrictive Covenants. Executive acknowledges that during the Transition Period he will have access to and be given Confidential Information (defined in the Employment Agreement) of P10, the Company, the Affiliated Entities, and its clients that Executive did not have access to or was not given prior to the execution of this Agreement. Accordingly, in order to continue to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company, P10, and the Affiliated Entities, Executive reaffirms his obligations under the Section

6 of the Employment Agreement (other than Section 6(a)(ii)), including his obligations of

confidentiality and non-solicitation obligations, represents and warrants that he has not breached the same, and understands that such obligations continue after the Transition Date throughout the Transition Period. The Parties incorporate such obligations into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein and acknowledge that Executive’s breach of those obligations shall constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that the non-solicitation restrictions found in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement shall not prohibit Executive from soliciting or hiring Caryn Peeples for employment after the Transition End Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agreement that the Restricted Period, as that term is used in Section 6(b) of the Employment Agreement shall run for the Transition Period and for a period of one (1) year following the Transition End Date. The Executive acknowledges that the Company, P10, and/or the Affiliated Entities would be irreparably injured by a violation of the confidentiality obligations and non-solicitation restrictions and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive from any actual or threatened breach of these restrictive covenants, or to any other appropriate equitable remedy without bond or other security being required. Any such relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any appropriate relief in the way of monetary damages that the parties may seek in arbitration.

13.

Non-Competition. In exchange for the Company’s agreement to execute this Agreement and its promise to provide Executive with access to and be given Confidential Information of P10, the Company, the Affiliated Entities, and its clients, during the Transition Period and for a period of one year following the Transition End Date, Executive agrees that, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, acquire a partial or controlling stake in an alternative asset manager that: (1) exceeds $25 million in purchase price; or (2) directly competes with a Company vertical or was reviewed by the Company as an acquisition target within the Transition Period (each a “Restricted Entity”). In addition, during the Restricted Period, Executive will not become an employee of an alternative asset manager that is part of a publicly traded company. Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Section 13, Executive may own or acquire an aggregate of not more than 4.9% of any publicly traded Restricted Entity without violating the provisions of this Section 13, provided that Executive remains a passive owner of common stock during the Restricted Period and does not have the power, directly or indirectly, to control or direct the management or affairs of any such corporation and is not involved in the management of such Restricted Entity. Executive acknowledges that the Company would be irreparably injured by a violation of this Section 13 and the Parties agree that the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Company for any breach by Executive of this Section 13 shall be a temporary restraining order and other injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from any actual or threatened breach of this Section 13 without bond or other security being required as well as the Company’s attorneys’ fees incurred in obtaining injunctive relief. No additional monetary remedy shall be available to the Company for any breach by Executive of this Section 13.

14.

Survival and Reaffirmation of Employment Agreement Terms. The Parties acknowledges that certain provisions of the Employment Agreement survive the termination of Executive’s employment and remain in full force and effect and are incorporated herein by reference, including but not limited to the terms and obligations set forth in Sections 5(b), 7, and 8 of the Employment Agreement.

15.

Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that he will not make any statement to any third party that is intended to or is reasonably likely to disparage, slander, or otherwise damage the

business reputation of the Company, P10, Affiliated Entities, or Company Released Parties, other than statements to any government agencies or statements under oath in connection with a legal proceeding or other compulsory legal process. The Company agrees that (a) it shall not issue any statement on behalf of the Company, P10, or the Affiliated Entities concerning the Executive that is intended to or are reasonably likely to disparage, slander, or otherwise damage the business reputation of Executive except to the extent required by law, and (b) it shall instruct its directors and officers not to make any statement concerning Executive that is intended to or is reasonably likely to disparage, slander, or otherwise damage the business reputation of Executive (other than statements to any government agencies or statements under oath in connection with a legal proceeding or other compulsory legal process).

16.

Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either the Company or the Executive of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach by either the Company or the Executive. Any waiver must be in writing.

17.

Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended orally in any manner or in writing without the written consent of the Company and the Executive. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, delayed, modified, terminated, or otherwise impaired without the prior written consent of the Company and the Executive.

18.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents and contains the entire understanding between the Parties in connection with its subject matter, subject to the terms of the Carried Interest Allocation Agreement and any other agreements specifically referenced in this Agreement as continuing after the execution of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that in signing this Agreement, Executive has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement made by the Company, P10, the Affiliated Entities, or any of their representatives. The Company makes no representations regarding its relationship with or obligations to Executive, or as to the tax consequences of Executive entering into this Agreement, and none it may have made in the past survive, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

19.

Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

20.

Survival. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, including, without limitation, the rights and obligations set forth in Sections 6, 12, 13, 14, and 15 of this Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

21.

Assignment. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Executive and his personal representatives and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns,

except that the Company may not assign this Agreement without Executive’s prior written consent, except to an acquirer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

22.

Severability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

23.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party.
