Survival of Existing Obligations. The Employee covenants and reaffirms that this Agreement does not, supersede, revoke, or cancel the Employee’s obligations to the Company under any preexisting agreements, or any other applicable employment agreement containing intellectual property assignment, confidentiality, non-competition and/or non-solicitation provisions; that such agreements shall survive the Effective Date; and the Employee shall not breach such obligations. 9. Non-Competition. a. Without limiting the foregoing, the Employee covenants that, during the period from the Effective Date through November 3, 2025 (the “Restricted Period”), the Employee will not, without the prior written approval from the Company’s Chief People & Culture Officer of the Company, directly or indirectly, render Restricted Services in a Restricted Region to any business, organization or person that competes, directly or indirectly, with the business of the Company. b. For the purposes of this Section 9:

-8- i. “Restricted Services” means the provision of any services to any of the entities listed in Exhibit B hereto; and ii. “Restricted Region” means any territory or geographic area for which Employee was responsible according to the duties and responsibilities assigned by the Company during any portion of the 12-month period prior to the Effective Date. 10. Non-Solicitation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Employee covenants that during the Restricted Period, the Employee will not, without the prior written approval from the Company’s Chief People & Culture Officer (a) directly or indirectly solicit or encourage any person who is an employee of the Company or its affiliate to terminate their employment relationship with, or accept any other employment outside of, the Company or its affiliate; (b) hire, or directly or indirectly recommend or cause to be hired by an entity for which the Employee works, any person who is, or was within twelve (12) months before or after the Effective Date, an employee of the Company or its affiliate; or (c) provide any non-public information regarding any employee of the Company or its affiliate to any external person in connection with employment outside the Company or its affiliate, including, but not limited to, recruiters and prospective employers. 11. Agreement Not to Cooperate Against the Company or Any of the Releasees. Except to the extent prohibited by law, Employee covenants that Employee will not voluntarily cooperate in any litigation against the Company or any of the Releasees, arising out of or relating to the Employee’s employment with the Company up to the Effective Date, or invite or suggest subpoenas to any proceeding against the Company or any of the Releasees, excluding cooperation with any governmental entities which is not covered by this Section 11. 12. Employee Availability. The Employee agrees to make the Employee reasonably available to the Company to respond to requests for information related to the Employee’s employment with the Company.

The Company will reimburse the Employee for reasonable out-of- pocket expenses the Employee incurs as a result of such cooperation including travel and related expenses under the same considerations as would be applicable on the Effective Date. 13. Breach by Employee. The Company’s obligations to the Employee under this Agreement are contingent upon the Employee fulfilling the Employee’s obligations under this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any breach by the Employee of the obligations under this Agreement inevitably would cause substantial and irreparable damage to the Company and its subsidiaries, for which money damages may not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be entitled to an injunction and/or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting security, to prevent the breach of such obligations. If the Company proves a breach in court or arbitration, the Employee shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any loss, claim or damage, including without limitation all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in enforcing its rights under this Agreement. In addition, and without limitation of the other remedies specified herein, if the Company determines that Employee has breached this Agreement, the Company

-9- may cease providing the compensation and benefits described herein and/or may require the Employee to repay all compensation and benefits paid described herein, in each case, except to the extent that such reimbursement is prohibited by law or would result in the invalidation of the Release. 14. Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (and any related guidance issued by the IRS or the Treasury Department), so as to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes, penalties or interest under those rules. Accordingly, the Company will modify this Agreement to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any such additional taxes, penalties or interest. In the unlikely event that this need arises, the Company will take reasonable efforts to provide advance notice to the Employee. All payments under this Agreement will be delayed to the extent necessary to comply with the rules in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) (generally requiring a delay of six months after separation from service for certain payments made to top-50 officers determined in accordance with Company rules). 15. Severability of Provisions. If a court or arbitrator holds that any provision in this Agreement is legally invalid or unenforceable, and cannot be modified to be enforceable, the affected provision will be stricken from the Agreement and the remaining terms of the Agreement and its enforceability shall remain unaffected. 16. Benefits Plans. The Company reserves the right to terminate, amend, suspend, replace or modify any of its benefit plans and compensation programs at any time and for any reason, and the Employee will be subject to any such termination, amendment, suspension, replacement, or modification. If a plan or program is terminated, the Employee will not receive any further benefits under that plan/program, other than payment for benefits for services or coverages incurred before it was terminated. This paragraph shall not alter any vested benefits to which the Employee may be entitled under the terms of the Plans in which the Employee is vested. 17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties. The parties agree they have not relied on any oral statements that are not included in this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, other than as described in this Agreement. Any modifications to this Agreement must be in writing, must reference this Agreement, and must be signed by the Employee and an authorized employee or agent of the Company. 18. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and applied in accordance with the law of the State of Texas. 19. Unemployment Compensation. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to affect Employee’s ability to seek Unemployment Insurance (UI). The Company will provide accurate information in response to requests related to the Employee’s application for UI benefits regarding the terms of Employee’s separation from the Company. 20. Tax Withholdings. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement are subject to all applicable tax withholdings and other deductions (to the extent such other deductions would not constitute accelerations of payment under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).
