ARTICLE 1 SEPARATION; FINAL PAY
1.01 Transition Date; Transition Period; Separation Date.
(a) Employee’s last day of employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Team and the Company Group shall be the Transition Date. Between the Transition Date and the Separation Date (such period, the “Transition Period”), Employee shall remain employed by Team as Senior Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer of Team. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, effective as of the Separation Date, Employee will cease to be employed by Team as Senior Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer of Team, as well as from all other employee, director and officer positions that Employee held at or though the Company Group. Employee agrees that during the Transition Period, Employee shall continue to abide by all of the Employee Obligations (as defined below) and to assist with the transition of Employee’s duties or other duties as requested by Team. Employee agrees to take any further action reasonably requested by Team to effectuate the foregoing.
(b) During the Transition Period, Team shall continue to pay Employee his normal base salary earned through the Separation Date in accordance with its usual payroll practices. In addition, during the Transition Period, Team shall reimburse Employee for any expenses incurred by Employee prior to the Separation Date related to his employment with Team, subject to the requirements of Team’s expense reimbursement policy and preapproval of any travel related to Team business by Team’s Chief Executive Officer. All such reimbursement will be made in accordance with the Team’s expense reimbursement policy.
(c) Employee understands and acknowledges that some matters that fall under Employee’s responsibility in his positions with Team may be ongoing after the Separation Date. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, during the Severance Period, Employee will cooperate and make himself reasonably available to Team representatives to respond to questions regarding Employee’s experience with and knowledge about Team. For purposes of this Agreement, “Severance Period” shall mean the six-month period immediately following the Separation Date. Team will reimburse Employee for all reasonable and documented expenses incurred in complying with this Section 1.01(c) in accordance with Team’s expense reimbursement policy.
1.02 Severance and Equity Award Vesting. Provided that Employee complies with this Agreement and the Reaffirmation Agreement (as defined below) becomes effective pursuant to its terms, Team shall provide the following severance compensation to Employee:
(a) Team shall pay to Employee an amount equal to Six Hundred Three Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($603,750), to be paid in equal installments over the fifteen (15) month period following the Separation Date through the normal bi-weekly Team payroll process, less all applicable withholdings and authorized or required deductions. The payments under this Section 1.02 are not earnings or wages under any Team 401(k) plan, unless otherwise determined to be required by the 401(k) plan documents.
(b) Employee shall be entitled to receive, and Team shall pay to Employee, an annual bonus for the 2026 performance period fixed at Employee’s target bonus amount (i.e., 75% of his annual salary of $483,000 regardless of whether the performance under the 2026 bonus plan would have provided for a lower or higher payout) but prorated for the portion of the year that Employee is employed until the Separation Date, less all applicable withholdings and authorized or required deductions, with such annual bonus amount for 2026 to be paid on or before January 31, 2027.

Second Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) and the associated Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement between Team and Employee, dated November 11, 2023 (the “RSU Agreement”), to vest immediately on the expiration of the seven (7) day revocation period specified above and the underlying shares to be delivered to Employee (the “RSU Vesting”). From the RSU Vesting, Team will withhold, as required, for any local, state and federal taxes, FICA and other required payroll deductions (“Deductions”), but will not withhold for the 401(k) Plan, health and welfare plans, deferred compensation plans or other benefit plans. The RSU Vesting will not be eligible for matching under the 401(k) Plan or other deferred compensation plans. To the extent that any of the Deductions are required at the delivery date of the underlying shares, Team shall withhold the required amount of the Deductions by withholding such number of shares related to the restricted stock units as equal the Deductions, and remitting the equivalent amount of cash to the appropriate governmental agencies necessary to satisfy the required Deductions. All other terms and conditions of the RSU Agreement and the Equity Plan remain in full force and effect.
(e) Employee shall be entitled to continued vesting of Employee’s 130,922 unvested performance stock units (the “PSUs”) previously awarded pursuant to the Equity Plan and the associated Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement between Team and Employee, dated November 11, 2023 (the “PSU Agreement”), with such PSUs to vest pursuant to the terms of the PSU Agreement based upon the satisfaction of the performance thresholds, but with any such vesting payout on the PSUs (the “PSU Vesting”) prorated by multiplying the number of PSUs that would vest based on the performance criteria by 92%. The PSUs shall remain in Employee’s stock plan administration account until their December 31, 2026 expiration date except for any PSU Vesting that occurs before then. From the PSU Vesting, Team will withhold Deductions, as required, but will not withhold for the 401(k) Plan, health and welfare plans, deferred compensation plans or other benefit plans. The PSU Vesting will not be eligible for matching under the 401(k) Plan or other deferred compensation plans. To the extent that any of the Deductions are required at the delivery date of the underlying shares, Team shall withhold the required amount of the Deductions by withholding such number of shares related to the restricted stock units as equal the Deductions, and remitting the equivalent amount of cash to the appropriate governmental agencies necessary to satisfy the required Deductions. All other terms and conditions of the PSU Agreement and the Equity Plan remain in full force and effect
1.03 Continued Health Benefits. Employee’s current health benefit coverage will terminate on the last day of the month that includes the Separation Date. Employee will receive notification of continued coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) from Team’s vendor and will need to timely and properly elect COBRA coverage with Team’s COBRA vendor in order to obtain continued health benefit coverage.

2.06 Protected Rights. The below subparagraphs set forth certain protected rights of the Employee that are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Protected Rights”.
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to waive any right or claim which: is not waivable as a matter of law, is provided under this Agreement or arises after the signing of this Agreement, involves any vested benefits pursuant to an ERISA employee benefits plan, unemployment compensation benefits if Employee is otherwise qualified for such benefits under applicable law, involves the Indemnification Agreement entered into between Team and Employee (the “Indemnification Agreement”) or claims for D&O insurance, or involves any pending workers’ compensation claim (however Employee represents there are no unfiled workers’ compensation claims or unreported injuries). To the extent that any such claim cannot be waived as a matter of law, it is understood that Employee reserves the right to file such claim, but Employee expressly waives Employee’s right to any relief of any kind should Employee or any other person or entity pursue any claim on Employee’s behalf except as stated below.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement limits Employee’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). Employee further understands that this Agreement does not limit Employee’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agencies, including providing documents or other information, without notice to Team. Employee understands and recognizes, however, that even if a report or disclosure is made or a charge is filed by Employee or on Employee’s behalf with a governmental agency, Employee will not be entitled to any damages or payment of any money or other relief personal to Employee relating to any event which occurred prior to Employee’s execution of this Agreement; however, excluded from this is any non-waivable recovery rights with the SEC or as otherwise applicable.
(c) Neither this Agreement nor any other agreement or policy of Team shall prohibit Employee from making, or submit Employee to civil or criminal liability under a trade secret law for, the following disclosures: (i) disclosures of trade secrets made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) disclosures of trade secrets made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal or per court order, or (iii) disclosures of trade secrets by a plaintiff to his or her attorney in a lawsuit for
6
retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law and use of the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if any document containing the trade secrets is filed under seal and does not disclose the trade secrets, except pursuant to court order, or (iv) other actions protected as whistleblower activity under applicable law. Employee is not required to notify Team of these allowed reports or disclosures.
(d) No release contained herein shall serve to release or limit Employee’s right to file suit for breach of this Agreement or to enforce this Agreement.
2.07 Mutual Non-disparagement. Excluding the Protected Rights, Employee agrees to not publish or make in any manner any oral or written statements about Team or any of the people or entities released that are untrue, defamatory, disparaging, malicious, obscene, threatening, harassing, intimidating or discriminatory and which are designed to harm, and Team agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to instruct its officers and directors not to publish or make in any manner any oral or written statements about Employee that are untrue, defamatory, disparaging, malicious, obscene, threatening, harassing, intimidating or discriminatory and which are designed to harm.

The protection of Confidential Information, trade secrets, company relationships, and good will is vital to the interests of the Company Group and Employee further acknowledges that improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information by Employee is likely to result in unfair or unlawful competitive activity and may cause Team and/or the Company Group to incur financial costs, loss of business advantage, liability under confidentiality agreements with third parties, civil damages, and/or criminal penalties. Employee further understands and acknowledges that as a key employee of Team, Employee has been placed in a position of trust and confidence with Team and that as a result, during the course of Employee’s employment with any company within the Company Group, Employee has had access to and learned about the Company Group’s confidential, proprietary, and trade secret documents, materials, and other information, in tangible and intangible form, of and relating to the Company Group, and their businesses, as well as existing and prospective customers, suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, investors, and other associated third parties (“Confidential Information” and as further defined below). Employee also acknowledges that during the course of Employee’s employment with any company within the Company Group, Employee has received specialized training and has been associated with the goodwill of the Company Group. Further, Employee acknowledges that access to Confidential Information, specialized training, and goodwill will continue and that such access requires the protection of Employee’s promises made below.

Employee understands and acknowledges that Employee’s obligations under this Agreement with regard to any particular Confidential Information shall continue so long as the information protected remains confidential in nature, and for the maximum amount of time allowed under applicable law.
(e) Inventions. Employee recognizes the Company Group is engaged in a continuous program of research, development, and production respecting its business, both present and future. As part of Employee’s employment within the Company Group, Employee is expected to make new contributions and inventions of value to the Company Group. Employee will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company Group (with all disclosures or notices being made in accordance with Section 2.15 below), will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company Group, and hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, to the Company Group (in accordance with Section 2.15 below), or its designee, all Employee’s right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements, trademarks, domain names, or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or similar laws, that Employee may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice or fix in a tangible medium, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice or fixed in a tangible medium (collectively referred to as “Intellectual Property”), which is either made during the period of Employee’s employment within the Company Group or based on Company Group Confidential Information. All such Intellectual Property which is developed by Employee (solely or jointly with others) is “work made for hire” (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) and is compensated to Employee through Employee’s base salary, Employee agrees to promptly disclose to the Company Group, or any persons designated by it, all potential Intellectual Property which is conceived, considered, or developed by Employee (solely or jointly with others). Additionally, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Employee acknowledges Employee has previously disclosed, or will immediately disclose to the Company Group hereafter, all inventions that would otherwise be covered under this Section, and Employee further agrees to disclose in writing to Team all inventions Employee made solely or jointly with others during Employee’s employment within the Company Group. Employee acknowledges and understands that nothing in this Section shall apply to an invention for which no Company Group equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information was used, and which was developed entirely on Employee’s own time, unless the invention relates to the business of the Company Group or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or the invention results from any work Employee performs for the Company Group.
9
(f) Non-Solicitation and Non-Interference. Employee acknowledges that the highly competitive nature of the Company Group’s business, Employee’s position within the Company Group, and the Confidential Information, Customer Information, company relationships, specialized training, and association with goodwill provided to Employee during Employee’s employment with any company within the Company Group, support the following promises of Employee not to compete, solicit or interfere with the Company Group’s relationships with its customers and employees as stated below. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Restricted Period” means the time period during Employee’s employment with any company within the Company Group and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Separation Date, regardless of the reason for or party initiating the separation. The “Restricted Territory” means the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and The Netherlands.
(g) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restricted Period and in the Restricted Territory, Employee agrees and covenants not to directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or induce the resignation or termination of employment of any employee of the Company Group for the purpose of the employee accepting employment with a business competitive with the products or services of the Company Group. This restriction is limited to employees of the Company Group (i) with access to Confidential Information and (ii) with whom Employee worked or about whom Employee had access to Confidential Information during Employee’s employment with any company in the Company Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this restriction does not apply to postings and advertisements regarding job opportunities which are made available to the public and are not directed specifically toward Company Group employees.
(h) Non-Solicitation of Customers. Employee understands and acknowledges that because of Employee’s experience with and relationship to the Company Group, Employee has had access to customer relationships and goodwill and learned about much or all of the Company Group’s Customer Information. “Customer Information” includes, but is not limited to, names, phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses, order history, order preferences, chain of command, pricing information and other Confidential Information identifying facts and circumstances specific to the customer and relevant to sales and/or services. Employee understands and acknowledges that loss of customer relationships, loss of customer goodwill, and/or unauthorized use of Customer Information will cause significant and irreparable harm to the Company Group.
(i) During the Restricted Period and in the Restricted Territory, Employee agrees and covenants, not to directly or indirectly solicit, contact (including but not limited to, by e-mail, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, text and instant message), attempt to contact or meet with the Company Group’s current or prospective customers (with “prospective customers” defined as potential customers with whom the Company Group has, within the last two years of Employee’s employment, taken significant steps towards establishing a customer relationship) for purposes of conducting business which is competitive to that of the Company
10
Group. This restriction shall only apply to the current or prospective customers of the Company Group: (x) that Employee provided services to or with whom Employee had direct or indirect business-related contact with in any way during the last two (2) years of Employee’s employment within the Company Group; or (y) about whom Employee has had access to Confidential Information or Customer Information during Employee’s last two years of employment within the Company Group.
(i) Non-Competition. Because of the Company Group’s legitimate business interest in protecting its Confidential Information, confidential training, and goodwill to which Employee has had access during Employee’s employment with any company in the Company Group, and in return for all of the good and valuable consideration offered to Employee, Employee agrees and covenants not to engage in the Prohibited Activity (as defined below) during the Restricted Period and in the Restricted Territory.
(i) For purposes of this non-competition clause, “Prohibited Activity” is carrying on or engaging or preparing to engage in any activity as an employee, employer, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, contractor, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, investor, lender, or any other similar capacity, on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any person or entity carrying on or engaged in a business competitive with or attempting to be competitive with the business of the Company Group, and that provides or attempts to provide services or products which are similar to any of the services or products the Company Group provides, as listed on the websites of the Company Group or its subsidiary companies, including entities engaged in the business of: engineering and consulting or specialty maintenance and construction services required in maintaining high temperature and high pressure piping systems, vessels utilized in heavy industry, and product and process pipelines which services include, but are not limited to, conventional NDT, advanced NDT, visual inspection, risk-based inspection, robotic inspection, unmanned aerial system inspection, inspection and assessment, structural and mechanical integrity, failure analysis, rope access or laser scanning service that support Company Group services, asset integrity management, decoking, field heat treating, leak repair, composite repair, fugitive emissions control, hot tapping, isolation test plugs, line stops or line plugs, wet tapping, line freezes or line thaws, field machining, welding, technical bolting or torquing, concrete repair and restoration, field and shop valve repair and sales, installation, distribution, maintenance and warranty work for valves and valve products and service of waterworks valves, clamps and enclosures and any other services, software or products the Company Group currently provides, including designing, developing, manufacturing, distributing or assembling equipment or products to support such services. Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that, due to the nature of Employee’s employment with any company in the Company Group, any activities falling within the definition of Prohibited Activity would necessarily and inevitably involve the use and/or disclosure by Employee of the Company Group’s trade secrets and Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Territory and Prohibited Activity do not include any territory or geographic area or other portion of the business of the Company Group in which Employee did not participate in the business of the Company Group or in the active steps to engage in the business of the Company Group or about which Employee had no access to Confidential Information, training, business relationships, or goodwill of the Company Group, during the last two (2) years of Employee’s employment with the Company Group. Prohibited Activity does not include activities for persons or entities which are not competitive with or attempting to be competitive with the Company Group and which do not provide or attempt to provide services or products which are similar to that which the Company Group provides, as more fully described above.
11
(ii) Any business, company, partnership, entity, or other form of organization that offers any of the products and/or services of the type offered by the Company Group in the Restricted Territory shall be considered to be carrying on or engaged in a business similar to and competitive with the business of the Company Group.
(iii) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Employee from purchasing or owning less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded securities of any corporation, or five percent (5%) of any private investment fund, provided that such ownership represents a passive investment and that Employee is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such corporation or investment fund. To avoid any doubt, Employee must not be involved in any way with such publicly traded corporation or private investment fund entity beyond this limited exception for passive investment, and for any passive investment involving activities that might be considered a Prohibited Activity, Employee must provide notice to Team in accordance with Section 2.15 below, within ten business days of gaining knowledge about the investment fund or publicly traded corporation’s involvement in a potential Prohibited Activity or the date of the under 5% passive investment, whichever is later.
(j) Return of the Company Group Property. Following the Separation Date, Employee shall immediately return to the Company Group, without undertaking any unauthorized modification or deletion, all of the Company Group’s property in Employee’s possession or control relating to Employee’s employment with any company in the Company Group, including but not limited to, the Company Group issued vehicles, computers, computer equipment, other equipment, Confidential Information, Customer Information, files, records, manuals, memoranda, documents, keys, access cards, credit cards, phone cards and all of the tangible and intangible property belonging to the Company Group (hard copy or electronic) or its or their vendors, contractors, subcontractors, customers or prospective customers. Employee will not retain any copies or summaries, electronic or otherwise, of such property, unless agreed to in writing by an authorized named executive officer of the Company Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent such Company Group property is not in Employee’s possession when Employee’s employment terminates, Employee covenants and agrees to use Employee’s best efforts to retrieve such Company Group property and return such property to the Company Group as soon as reasonably possible.
(k) Remedies. Employee understands that the promises and restrictions set forth in this Agreement may limit Employee’s ability to engage in certain actions but acknowledges that Employee has been provided sufficient consideration or benefits under this Agreement to justify such restrictions. Employee acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by Employee and/or that money damages would be difficult to calculate, and the Company Group shall be entitled to enforce such provisions by specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for such breach, but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to the Company Group including the recovery
12
of damages involved in such breach, attorneys’ fees and costs, forfeiture of the opportunity to receive any and all of the consideration under this Agreement, forfeiture of any opportunity to vest in or receive any equity ownership in the Company Group under the RSU Agreement, the PSU Agreement or otherwise, and all remedies available to the Company Group pursuant to other agreements with Employee or under any applicable law. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Company Group and Employee consider each of the restrictions and obligations contained or referenced in this Agreement to be reasonable, to be no more restrictive than necessary to protect the Confidential Information of the Company Group, and to be necessary to protect the public interest.
(l) Notification to Subsequent Employers. Employee further acknowledges that in order to enforce the Employee Obligations under this Agreement, the Company Group may need to notify subsequent actual or potential employers or other persons or entities of Employee’s obligations under this Agreement. Employee agrees to notify the Company Group of the identity of Employee’s employers or other persons or entities with which Employee becomes involved during the Restricted Period before accepting a position which such person or entities, and Employee consents to the Company Group providing notification to these persons or entities, of Employee’s ongoing obligations to the Company Group under this Agreement or under other applicable law or agreements.
(m) Tolling of Restricted Period. Employee agrees that the duration of the Restricted Period shall be tolled and suspended for any period that Employee is in violation of these covenants up to a period of one (1) year, unless such tolling is disallowed under applicable law.
(n) Non-Disclosure of this Agreement. Except for Employee’s attorney, tax advisor, spouse, or as required or protected by law, Employee agrees not to disclose or discuss the terms and conditions of this Agreement with any other person or party, including, without limitation, suppliers or customers, communication media, the press, publishers, journalists, reporters, and current, former, and future employees of Team.

The parties further acknowledge and agree that for purposes of Section 409A, Employee does not have discretion with respect to the timing of the payment of any amounts provided under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Team, its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and representatives, neither represent nor warrant the tax treatment under any federal, state, local, or foreign laws or regulations thereunder (individually and collectively referred to as the “Tax Laws”) of any payment or benefits contemplated by this Agreement including, but not limited to, when and to what extent such payments or benefits may be subject to tax, penalties and interest under the Tax Laws.

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into that certain Severance Agreement and Release dated June ___, 2026 (the “Severance Agreement”), and which is incorporated into this Reaffirmation in full by reference, whereby Employee and Team stated the conditions of Employee’s termination;
WHEREAS, as part of the Severance Agreement, Employee reaffirmed and re-acknowledged his existing Employee Obligations, as defined in the Severance Agreement, and further agreed to waive and release certain claims and to otherwise comply with all terms of the Severance Agreement (collectively “Employee’s Promises”) in exchange for good and valuable consideration provided to Employee by Team (“Team’s Promises”);
WHEREAS, in exchange for Team’s Promises, Employee further agreed to sign this Reaffirmation on or within four (4) days of the Separation Date acknowledging current compliance with, and ratifying and reaffirming each of Employee’s Promises made in the Severance Agreement; and
WHEREAS, no post-termination payments or consideration will be provided under the Severance Agreement unless and until after the signing of this Reaffirmation and the expiration without revocation of the seven (7) day revocation period provided under this Reaffirmation.
NOW THEREFORE, in accordance with the Severance Agreement, the Parties incorporate the recitals above as contractual terms of this Reaffirmation, and Employee acknowledges and agrees as follows:
A. EMPLOYEE’S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, RE-AFFIRMATION AND RATIFICATION
(1) Acknowledgement of Current Compliance. Employee reaffirms and ratifies each of the representations and Employee Promises made by Employee in the Severance Agreement and states that each such promise is reasonable and necessary and fully enforceable, and Employee represents that he is currently in compliance with each of the Employee Promises in the Severance Agreement, including but not limited to the waiver and release of all claims and covenant not to sue, as well as the obligations in favor of Team regarding fiduciary duties, non-competition, non-solicitation of employees, non-solicitation of customers, non-disclosure of confidential information, non-disparagement and other duties, all of which are reasonable and necessary to protect the Confidential Information, Customer Information and goodwill that Employee had access to as an employee of Team.

Employee reaffirms and ratifies each of the representations and Employee Promises made by Employee in the Severance Agreement and states that each such Employee Promise is reasonable and necessary and fully enforceable, and that Employee represents and reaffirms his intention to fully comply in the future with all of the Employee Promises in the Severance Agreement, including obligations in favor of Team regarding fiduciary duties, non-competition, non-solicitation of employees, non-solicitation of customers, non-disclosure of confidential information, non-disparagement and other duties, all of which are reasonable and necessary to protect the Confidential Information, Customer Information and goodwill that Employee had access to as an employee of Team. Employee also represents his intention to fully comply with the general release, including the release of all employment claims and age-related claims.
(3) Protected Rights.
(a) Nothing in this Reaffirmation shall be construed as an attempt to waive any right or claim which: is not waivable as a matter of law, is provided under this Reaffirmation or arises after the signing of this Reaffirmation, involves unemployment compensation benefits if Employee is otherwise qualified for such benefits under applicable law, or involves any pending workers’ compensation claim (however, Employee states he has no unfiled workers’ compensation claim or unreported injury). To the extent that any such claim cannot be waived as a matter of law, it is understood that Employee reserves the right to file such claim, but Employee expressly waives Employee’s right to any relief of any kind should Employee or any other person or entity pursue any claim on Employee’s behalf except as stated below, and Employee assigns any such claim to Team.

Employee further understands that this Reaffirmation does not limit Employee’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agencies, including providing documents or other information, without notice to Team. Neither this Reaffirmation nor any other agreement or policy of Team limits Employee’s right to receive an award for information provided to the SEC or any other non-waivable right to recover an award from another Government Agency.
3

Employee is not required to notify Team of these allowed reports or disclosures.
(4) Venue; Applicable Law. The venue for any dispute between the Parties arising from or relating to this Agreement or Employee’s Obligations hereunder shall be exclusively in the federal and state courts of Harris County, Texas, unless another forum is required by applicable law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction. Employee and Team waive any rights to a trial by jury of any or all issues arising in any action or proceeding between them or their successors, under or connected with this Agreement or regarding Employee’s employment or termination of employment with Team, and consent to trial by the judge.
(5) No Waiver. No failure by either Party at any time to give notice of any breach by the other Party of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Reaffirmation shall (a) be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time or (b) preclude insistence upon strict compliance in the future.
(6) Miscellaneous Terms. Either Party may enforce the Reaffirmation in court if the other Party breaches it. This Reaffirmation may not be modified except in a writing signed by Employee and an authorized officer of Team. The foregoing notwithstanding, if any part of this Reaffirmation is found to be overbroad or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such overbroad or unenforceable portion shall be modified by the court to be enforceable.

This Agreement, the Severance Agreement, the RSU Agreement, the PSU Agreement, the PIINS Agreement, the Equity Plan, the Indemnification Agreement and the Employee Obligations contain the entire and only agreements between Team and Employee regarding Employee’s termination of employment. Other than those listed above, all oral or written promises or assurances that are not contained in this Agreement are waived, invalid, and unenforceable, other than any otherwise existing obligations of Employee under contract or under the law regarding duties of confidentiality, non-solicitation or non-competition, which shall remain in full force and effect.
