Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, in the event Termination Benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1968, as amended (the “Code”), then, in lieu of the foregoing definition and to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the definition of “Change in Control” for purposes of such Termination Benefits shall be the definition provided for under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations or other guidance issued thereunder.

The Company will reimburse Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses, including expenses related to frequent flyer programs and airline club memberships, incurred by Employee and documented in accordance with the policies of the Company in effect from time to time.  The Company agrees that if Employee is made a party, is threatened to be made a party to, or is a non-party witness in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that Employee is or was a trustee, director, officer, fiduciary or employee of the Company or any affiliate of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any affiliate as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including, without limitation, service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent while serving as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent, Employee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent authorized by Texas law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expenses incurred or suffered by Employee in connection therewith.  If the Company maintains a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy, Employee shall be covered to the same extent as other employees.

7.             No Obligation to Third Party.  Employee represents and warrants that Employee is not under any obligation to any person or other third party and does not have any other interest that is inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement, or which would prevent, limit, or impair Employee’s performance of any of the covenants hereunder or Employee’s duties as an employee of the Company.

8.            Confidentiality.  In consideration of the benefits provided for in this Agreement, Employee agrees not to, at any time, either during his employment or thereafter, divulge, use, publish or in any other manner reveal, directly or indirectly, to any person, firm, corporation or any other form of business organization or arrangement and keep in the strictest confidence any Confidential Information, except, (i) as may be necessary to the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, (ii) with the Company’s express written consent, (iii) to the extent that any such information is in or becomes in the public domain other than as a result of Employee’s

breach of any obligations hereunder, or (iv) where required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government process and in such event, Employee shall cooperate with the Company in attempting to keep such information confidential.  Upon the request of the Company, Employee agrees to promptly deliver to the Company the originals and all copies, in whatever medium, of all such Confidential Information.  “Confidential Information,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean any and all secret, proprietary and confidential information concerning the business of the Company and its affiliates, including, without limitation, business and marketing plans, strategies, models, codes, client information (including client identity and contacts, client lists, client financial or personal information), business relationships (including persons, corporations or other entities performing services on behalf of or otherwise engaged in business transactions with the Company and its affiliates or their clients), accounts, financial data, know-how, computer software and related documentation, trade secrets, processes, policies and/or personnel, and any other information, data or the like that is labeled confidential or is treated as confidential by the Company.

10.            Non-Disparagement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that he will not defame or publicly criticize the services, business, integrity, veracity or personal or professional reputation of the Company and its officers, directors, partners, executives or agents thereof in either a professional or personal manner at any time during or following his employment with the Company.  The Company agrees that its present and future officers, directors, partners, executives and agents will not defame or publicly criticize the services, business, integrity, veracity or personal or professional reputation of Employee in either a professional or personal manner at any time during or following his employment with the Company.

11.            Enforcement.  If Employee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 8-10 of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed by Employee that the services being rendered hereunder to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.  Such right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity.  Accordingly, Employee consents to the issuance of an injunction, whether preliminary or permanent, consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, the Company shall have the right to cease making any payments or provide any benefits to Employee under this Agreement in the event he breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions hereof.
