such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (iii) process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on either party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of such court, and, without limiting the foregoing, each of the Company and the Executive irrevocably agrees that service of process on such party, in the same manner as provided for notices in Section 15 above, shall be deemed effective service of process on such party in any such suit; action or proceeding; and (iv) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: EACH OF THE COMP ANY AND THE EXECUTIVE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT; and (v) Limitation on Damages: the parties agree that there will be no punitive damages payable as a result of or in connection with any claim, matter or breach under or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each of the parties agrees not to request punitive damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing of this Section, each of the parties agrees that prior to commencing any claims for breach of this Agreement (except to pursue injunctive relief) to submit, for a period of sixty (60) days, to voluntary mediation before a jointly selected neutral third party mediator under the auspices of JAMS, Dallas, Texas, Resolutions Center (or any successor location), pursuant to the procedures of JAMS Mediation Rules conducted in the State of Texas (however, such mediation or obligation to mediate shall not suspend or otherwise delay any termination or other action of the Company or affect the Company's other rights).

19.Integration; Amendments. This is an integrated Agreement that supersedes and replaces the Prior Employment Agreement in its entirety. This Agreement constitutes and is intended as a final expression and a complete and exclusive statement of the understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. All negotiations, discussions and writings between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement are merged into this Agreement, and there are no rights conferred, nor promises, agreements, conditions, undertakings, warranties or representations, oral or written, expressed or implied, between the undersigned parties as to such matters other than as specifically set forth herein. No amendment or modification of or addendum to, this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.

20.Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that Executive shall not be entitled to assign his interest in this Agreement (except for an assignment by operation of law to her estate), or any portion hereof, or any rights hereunder, to any party. Any attempted assignment by Executive in violation of this Section 20 shall be null, void, ab initio and of no effect of any kind or nature whatsoever.

21.Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party hereto which is entitled to have the benefit thereof, but such waiver shall only be effective if evidenced by a writing signed by such party, and a waiver on one occasion shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any other type of breach on a future occasion. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

11

22.Taxes.

(a)All payments to be made to and on behalf of the Executive under this Agreement will be subject to required withholding of federal, employment and excise taxes, and to related reporting requirements.

(b)Limitation on Parachute Payments. In the event that the payment and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 11 (b), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive's payments and benefits will be either:

whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.

If a reduction in severance and other payments and benefits constituting "parachute payments" is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order:

(i)  reduction  of  cash  payments;  (ii)  cancellation  of  awards  granted  "contingent  on  a  change in ownership or control" (within the meaning of Code Section 280G), (iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards, and (iv) reduction of employee benefits. Within any such category of payments and benefits (that is, (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)), a reduction shall occur first with respect to amounts that are not Deferred Payments and then with respect to amounts that are. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive's equity awards.

Any determination required under this Section 22(b) will be made in writing by the Company's independent public accountants engaged by the Company for general audit purposes immediately prior to the Change in Control (the "Accountants"), whose good faith determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. If the independent registered public accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, or if such firm otherwise cannot perform the calculations, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 22(b), the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this section.

12

23.409A. This Agreement is intended to provide payments that are exempt from and/or that comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and related regulations and Treasury pronouncements ("Section 409A"), and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly (it being understood that the payment of any reimbursement hereunder shall be made in a manner exempt from, or in compliance with, Section 409A). If any provision of this Agreement would cause Executive to incur any additional tax under Section 409A, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reform, and/or the parties hereto will in good faith attempt to reform, the provision in a manner that maintains, to the extent possible, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under this Agreement shall be designated as a "separate payment" within the meaning of the Section 409A. All references herein to Executive's "termination of employment" or other similar term shall refer to Executive's "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A and Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-l(h).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if on the date of Executive's separation from service Executive is a "specified employee," as defined in Section 409A, then any portion of any payments, benefits or other consideration under this Agreement that are determined to be subject to the additional tax provided by Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code if not delayed as required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code shall be delayed until the first (1st) business day of the seventh (7th) month following Executive's separation from service date (or, if earlier, Executive's date of death), and the total of such delayed amounts shall be paid as a lump sum on such date. For purposes of clarification, any portion of any separation allowance or other payment due to Executive under this Agreement that is not considered deferred compensation under Section 409A through either the "short- term deferral" exception pursuant to Treasury Reg. 1.409A-l(b)(4) or the "separation pay" exception pursuant to Treasury Reg. 1.409A-l(b)(9) will not be subject to the 6 month delay described in this paragraph as provided under Section 409A.

With respect to any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement that constitutes a "deferral of compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A, (i) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive must be incurred during the Employment Period (or applicable survival period), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has obtained no advice from the Company or any of its affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, attorneys or other representatives, and that none of such persons or entities have made any representation regarding the tax consequences, if any, of Executive's receipt of the payments, benefits and other consideration provided for in this Agreement. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that Executive is personally responsible for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes that are due, or may be due, for any payments and other consideration received by Executive under this Agreement. Executive agrees to hold the Company harmless for any and all taxes, penalties or other assessments that Executive is, or may become, obligated to pay on account of any payments made and other consideration provided to Executive under this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the date set forth above in the preamble of this Agreement.

18.No Waiver. This Release may not be waived, modified, amended, supplemented, canceled or discharged, except by written agreement of the Parties.
