AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 25th day of February, 2015 between Mavenir Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, an individual resident of the State of Texas (“Executive”).

In such capacity, Executive shall perform such executive duties and exercise such powers for the Company and its subsidiaries as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company may assign to or vest in Executive from time to time and, as such, from and after the date hereof shall report directly to and shall be subject to the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. Executive covenants and agrees that, at all times during Executive’s employment, Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time and efforts to Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company and that Executive will not, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in any other business or professional activities during Executive’s employment, other than activities for non-profit organizations that do not interfere or conflict with Executive’s obligations hereunder and such other activities approved by the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time.

2. At Will Employment. The Company agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to serve the Company, on an “at will” basis, which means that either the Company or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time and for any or no reason, as provided in and subject to Sections 7 and 8 below.

3. Compensation. During Executive’s employment, the Company shall pay to Executive the following compensation:

(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay Executive a base salary (“Base Salary”) at the rate of $27,500 per month (annualized to $330,000), less applicable withholding taxes, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. The Base Salary may be increased by the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, in its sole discretion. In addition, the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, may decrease the Base Salary in the event that the Board or such committee determines that financial exigencies require such decrease, provided that the compensation of all executives of the Company is also reduced at the same time in a substantially commensurate manner. Any increase or decrease in Base Salary (together with the then existing Base Salary) shall serve as the “Base Salary” for future employment under this Agreement.

(b) Equity Compensation. Executive may be granted stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock or other stock- or performance-based equity awards (each, an “Award”), as determined from time to time in the discretion of the

Company’s Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Plan, Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan or any other equity incentive plan that may be adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (each, an “Equity Plan”). The terms of any such Award, including the vesting schedule, if any, will be set forth in an award agreement (an “Award Agreement”) in the form determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof. The vesting schedule of any such Awards shall be subject to additional acceleration as described in Section 7 of this Agreement, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

4. Other Compensation and Benefits. In addition to the compensation specified in Section 3, the Company shall provide the following to Executive:

(a) Incentive Plan Participation. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s management incentive plan, executive bonus plan or any other such incentive plan (each, a “Performance Incentive Plan”) to the extent determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof; provided however, that any such participation and payments shall be subject in all respects to the terms of such Performance Incentive Plan and the meeting of performance metrics as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof. Compensation under a Performance Incentive Plan shall hereafter be referred to as a “Bonus.” Executive and the Company agree that for the year ending December 31, 2015, Executive’s target Bonus pursuant to the Performance Incentive Plan shall be 50% of Executive’s Base Salary.

(b) Benefits. During Executive’s employment, Executive shall be entitled to (i) vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, to be taken in accordance with such policy, (ii) holidays and sick leave as made generally available to employees of the Company, and (iii) subject to eligibility therefor, the right to participate in any profit sharing plan, retirement plan, 401(k) plan, group life insurance plan and/or other insurance plan or medical expense plan or dental expense plan maintained by the Company for its senior executives generally and, if applicable, their family members.

(c) Directors and Officers Insurance. Executive shall be covered by the Company’s Directors and Officers Insurance to the extent that the Company currently has or in the future obtains such insurance, for so long as Executive remains an executive officer or director of the Company.

5. Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary business and travel expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement. The determination of “reasonable and necessary” shall be made in the sole discretion of the Board. Such expenses shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s business expense guidelines, limits and procedures and upon presentation of proper expense vouchers or receipts; provided however, in no event shall reimbursement of an eligible expense hereunder be made later than the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred and the right to reimbursement hereunder may not be exchanged for any other benefit.

Executive’s employment will terminate automatically upon Executive’s death or, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from the Company, in the event of Disability. For purposes of this Section 6, “Disability” means that Executive, at the time notice is given, has been unable to substantially perform Executive’s duties under this Agreement for not less than sixty (60) work days within a six (6) consecutive month period as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to a physical or mental condition and, if reasonable accommodation is required by law, after reasonable accommodation.

(iii) continuing severance pay at a rate equal to 100% of Executive’s Base Salary, as then in effect (less applicable withholding taxes), for a period of six (6) months from the date of such termination, to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices (subject to Sections 7(c) and 7(d));

(ii) accelerated vesting with respect to all Awards under an Equity Plan held by Executive, such that all Awards shall vest in full effective as of the date of such termination, except and only to the extent that any Award Agreement specifically provides otherwise, provided, that if a particular Award Agreement has a definition of “Change of Control” or “Change in Control” that differs from the definition of “Change of Control” set forth in this Agreement, such other definition shall apply solely with respect to acceleration of vesting of such Award pursuant to this Section 7(b)(ii);

(vii) no other severance or benefits of any kind.

(c) Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section

-5-

409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A. References in this Agreement to termination of Executive’s employment shall mean termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and all entities required to be aggregated with the Company and treated as one employer under Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code under circumstances that give rise to a “separation from service” within the meaning given to that term under Section 409A.

(d) Conditions Precedent. Any severance payments (other than payment of Base Salary pursuant to Section 7), vesting and/or benefits contemplated by Section 7 above are conditional on Executive (i) continuing to comply with all of the provisions of Section 9 below and the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below), and (ii) signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims providing for a release of all claims relating to Executive’s employment and/or this Agreement against the Company or its successor, its subsidiaries and parent company and their respective directors, officers and stockholders, excluding claims for payments and/or benefits the Company is required to pay to Executive that have not been made or delivered in accordance with terms of a written agreement between the Company and Executive or as required by law, in a form satisfactory to the Company, its parent company or its successor (the “Release”); provided that such Release becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date or such earlier date required by the Release (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits under this Section 7 or elsewhere in this Agreement. Any severance payments or other benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments (as defined in Section 7(c)) will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service, or, if later, such time as required by Section 7(c). Except as required by Section 7(c), any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s separation from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service and the remaining payments will be made as provided in this Agreement, unless subject to the 6-month payment delay described herein. Any severance payments under this Agreement that would not be considered Deferred Payments will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date the Release becomes effective and any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the period prior to the date the Release becomes effective following Executive’s separation from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date the Release becomes effective.

(C) the closing of any transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which any person or any group of persons comprising a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company or a person that, prior to such transaction or series of related transactions, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Company) acquires directly or indirectly (whether as a result of a

-7-

single acquisition or by reason of one or more acquisitions within the twelve (12)-month period ending with the most recent acquisition) beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s securities (as measured in terms of the power to vote with respect to the election of Board members) outstanding immediately after the consummation of such transaction or series of related transactions, whether such transaction involves a direct issuance from the Company or the acquisition of outstanding securities held by one or more of the Company’s existing stockholders; or

(D) a change in the composition of the Board over a period of thirty-six (36) consecutive months or less such that a majority of the Board members ceases by reason of one or more contested elections for Board membership to be comprised of individuals who either (x) have been Board members continuously since the beginning of such period or (y) have been elected or nominated for election as Board members during such period by at least a majority of the Board members described in clause (x) who were still in office at the time the Board approved such election or nomination.

Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5).

(iii) Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s consent: (A) a material reduction of Executive’s duties or responsibilities, relative to Executive’s duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; provided, however, that any reduction in Executive’s duties or responsibilities resulting solely from and occurring concurrently with the Company being acquired by and made a part of a larger entity (as, for example, when a chief financial officer becomes an employee of the acquiring corporation following an acquisition but is not the chief financial officer of the acquiring corporation) shall not constitute Good Reason; (B) except as provided in Section 3(a), a material reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; (C) except as provided in Section 3(a), a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee benefits, including bonuses, to which the Executive was entitled immediately prior to such reduction, with the result that Executive’s overall benefits package is materially reduced; or (D) the relocation of Executive to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s then present location.

(f) Amendment to Option Agreements. In the event that Executive is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason, whether prior to or following a Change of Control, at the Executive’s request, the Company will execute an amendment (the “Option Amendment”) to

-8-

each option to purchase capital stock of the Company held by Executive on the date of such termination (collectively, the “Stock Options”) that will extend the period that Executive has to exercise each such stock option to the date that is one year following the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of a Change of Control; (ii) the consummation of an initial public offering of the Company’s equity securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (an “IPO”); or (iii) in the event that an IPO or a Change of Control has been consummated prior to the date of such termination, the date of such termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason. The Option Amendment will also provide that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that during such one-year period Executive is unable to sell any securities issuable upon exercise of the Stock Options because of lock-up, market stand-off or similar restrictions on selling such securities that are applicable to Executive, or Executive refrains from selling such securities at the request of an underwriter of the Company, such one-year period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Executive is unable to sell such securities because of lock-up, market stand-off or similar restrictions or Executive refrains from selling such securities at the request of an underwriter of the Company. The Option Amendment will be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Executive. In no event shall any such extension exceed the original term of any such Stock Option, unless at the time of such Option Amendment the exercise price of the applicable Stock Options is equal to or exceeds the fair market value of the underlying common stock of the Company, and such Option Amendment otherwise complies with the requirement of the applicable Section 409A regulations.

8. Involuntary Termination for Cause; Resignation without Good Reason.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause, and Executive may at any time voluntarily resign without Good Reason. Termination for Cause shall be effective on the date the Company gives notice to Executive of such termination in accordance with this Agreement unless otherwise agreed by the parties. Resignation by Executive without Good Reason shall be effective on the date Executive gives notice to the Company of such resignation in accordance with this Agreement unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

If any portion of the severance benefits, or any other payment under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with, or plan of the Company, including but not limited to restricted stock, stock options, warrants and other long-term incentives (in the aggregate, “Total Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, as amended, or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed (such excise tax together with any similar tax are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company an additional payment (the “Gross-up Payment”) (i.e., in addition to such other severance benefits, or any other payments under this Agreement) in an amount such that the net amount of Total Payments and Gross-up Payment retained by the Executive, after the calculation and deduction of all Excise Tax on the Total Payments and all federal, state and local income tax, employment tax and Excise Tax on the Gross-up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code or any regulatory guidance issued thereunder by the Internal Revenue Service, the term “Excise Tax”, as defined above in this Section 10, shall include any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such Excise Tax. Subject to Section 7(c), any Gross-up Payment shall be made as soon as practicable after Executive remits the related taxes, but in all events the Gross-up Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after Executive remits the related taxes to the taxing authority.

11. Clawback of Incentive Compensation. Executive acknowledges that to the extent required by applicable law or any written Company policy that may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, be adopted to implement the requirements of such law (including without limitation Section 304 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 954 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010), compensation paid to Executive shall be subject to any required clawback, forfeiture, recoupment or similar requirement. Executive agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended as may be necessary from time to time to

-13-

ensure compliance by Executive, the Company and this Agreement with such policies or applicable law. No clawback of compensation under any policy adopted as contemplated in this Section 11 shall give rise to Executive’s right to resign for Good Reason.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from all salary, bonus or other benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

(b) Entire Agreement; Binding Effect. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (together with any Equity Plan and any Award Agreement issued as contemplated by Section 3(b) above) set forth the entire understanding between the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements, commitments, representations, writings and discussions between them; and neither of the parties shall be bound by any obligations, conditions, warranties or representations with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, any Equity Plan or any Award Agreement except as expressly provided herein or therein or as duly set forth on or subsequent to the date hereof in a written instrument signed by the proper and fully authorized representative of the party to be bound hereby. This Agreement is binding on Executive and on the Company and Executive’s and the Company’s successors and assigns (whether by assignment, by operation of law or otherwise); provided that neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by Executive or the Company without the prior written consent of the other party (except that the Company shall be entitled to assign this Agreement in connection with a Change of Control).

(c) Absence of Conflict. Executive represents and warrants that Executive’s employment by the Company as described herein will not conflict with and will not be constrained by any prior employment or consulting agreement or relationship. Executive further agrees that during Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will not improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity and that Executive will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

(d) Arbitration.

(i) General. In consideration of Executive’s service to the Company, its promise to arbitrate all employment related disputes and Executive’s receipt of the compensation and other benefits paid to Executive by the Company, at present and in the future, Executive agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes (with the sole exception of those disputes that may arise from the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth therein) with anyone (including the Company and any employee, officer, director, stockholder or benefit plan of the Company in their capacity as such or otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s service to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise or the termination of Executive’s

-14-

service with the Company, including any breach of this Agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth by the American Arbitration Association for the resolution of employment disputes (the “Rules”) and pursuant to Texas law. Disputes which Executive agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under state or federal law. Executive further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the Company may have with Executive.

(ii) Procedure. Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration proceedings will be conducted in Richardson, Texas, and will allow for discovery according to the rules set forth in the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision including findings of fact and conclusions of law on the merits of its award. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies, including attorneys’ fees and costs, available under applicable law. The Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or AAA except that Executive shall pay the first $125 of any filing and/or administration fees associated with any arbitration that Executive initiates. The arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes.

(iii) Remedy. Arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive and final remedy for any dispute (with the sole exception of those disputes that may arise from the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 9 of this Agreement) between Executive and the Company. Accordingly, except as otherwise provided herein, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator shall not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law, which the Company has not adopted.

(iv) Availability of Injunctive Relief. Any party may also petition the court for injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, including but not limited to a breach of the restrictive covenants in Section 9 above. In the event that either party seeks injunctive relief, no bond shall be required and the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees.

(e) Voluntary Nature of Agreement; Legal Rights. Executive is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else. Executive acknowledges that Executive has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney regarding the provisions of this Agreement and has either obtained such advice of counsel or knowingly waived the opportunity to seek such advice. Executive has carefully read this Agreement and has asked any questions needed for Executive to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and fully understand it, including that Executive is waiving Executive’s right to a jury trial.

-15-

(f) Waivers. No party shall be deemed to have waived any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any provisions hereof unless such waiver shall have been duly executed in writing and acknowledged by the party to be charged with such waiver. The failure of any party at any time to insist on performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach.

(g) Reformation. If any sentence, paragraph or clause of this Agreement, or combination of the same, is in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or is unenforceable or void for any reason, such sentence, paragraph, clause or combinations of same shall be modified to the extent necessary to accomplish the intention on such provision without violating applicable law or regulation. Notwithstanding, the remainder of the Agreement shall remain binding upon the parties.

(h) Notices. All notices, approvals, consents, requests or demands required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given on the earlier of (i) actual receipt, (ii) three business days after being deposited in U.S. mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, (iii) upon delivery, if delivered by hand (iv) one business day after transmission, if sent by facsimile (confirmation received) or (v) one business day after the business day of deposit with a reputable overnight courier for next business day delivery, freight prepaid.
