Executive shall devote such portion of Executive’s business time and attention (excepting vacation time, holidays, sick days and periods of disability) as shall be necessary and appropriate for the fulfillment of her duties hereunder; provided, however, that this Section 2 shall not be interpreted as prohibiting Executive from (i) managing Executive’s personal investments (so long as such investment activities are of a passive nature), or (ii) engaging in charitable or civic activities, or (iii) participating on boards of directors or similar bodies of non-profit organizations and the board of directors of the companies on which Executive serves on the date hereof (the “Continuing Board Service”), so long as (A) such activities do not (a) interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, (b) create a fiduciary conflict, or (c) with respect to (ii) and (iii) only, detrimentally affect the Company’s reputation as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, and (B) Executive complies with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, as amended from time to time.

Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary.”

(b) The Base Salary shall be paid in such installments and at such times as the Company pays its regularly salaried employees and shall be subject to all required withholding taxes, FICA contributions and similar deductions legally required to be withheld.

6.4 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement,

(a) “Cause” shall mean a good faith finding by the Board of: (A) Executive’s willful refusal to carry out, in all material respects, the reasonable and lawful directions of the Board that are within Executive’s control and consistent with Executive’s status as the Executive Chairman of the Board and her duties and responsibilities hereunder (except for a failure that is attributable to Executive’s illness, injury or Disability) for a period of 10 days following written notice by the Company to Executive of such failure; (B) fraud or material dishonesty in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder; (C) an act or acts on Executive’s part constituting (x) a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, (y) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or (z) a material violation of federal or state securities laws; (D) an indictment of Executive for a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; (E) Executive’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with Executive’s duties hereunder which is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of the Company; (F) Executive’s failure to substantially perform her duties and responsibilities hereunder as set forth in Exhibit A after being given written notice by the Company and a period of 30 days to remedy such failure; (G) Executive’s material breach of the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics or any other code of conduct in effect from time to time to the extent applicable to Executive, and which breach has a material adverse effect on the Company; or (H) Executive’s breach of the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 of this Agreement which breach has a material adverse effect on the Company. No act or failure to act on Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.

(b) “Good Reason” shall mean, without Executive’s consent, (A) any material reduction in Executive’s position or responsibilities as set forth in Exhibit A, excluding an isolated, insubstantial or inadvertent action not taken in bad faith; (B) a material reduction of Executive’s Base Salary, or Target Bonus opportunity then in effect, except in connection with an across-the-board reduction of not more than 10% applicable to senior executives of the Company; or (C) the reassignment of Executive’s place of work to a location more than 50 miles from Executive’s place of work on the Effective Date; provided that none of the events described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) shall constitute Good Reason hereunder unless (x) Executive shall have given written notice to the Company of Executive’s intent to terminate her employment with Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of any such event and (y) the Company shall have failed to remedy such event within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of such notice. Failing such cure, a termination of employment by Executive for Good Reason shall be effective on the day following the expiration of such cure period.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company temporarily suspends Executive from her duties but retains Executive as an employee pending or during an investigation of whether an act or omission by Executive constitutes Cause, and Executive tenders her resignation based on Good Reason with respect to the suspension of duties within the required period for resigning for Good Reason, the Company may delay treating such resignation as for Good Reason until the completion of the investigation and need not treat the resignation as based on Good Reason at such date if it can then establish Cause; provided, however, that Executive shall retain her right to terminate employment for Good Reason based on other factors, if applicable.

6.5 Conditions to Payment. All payments and benefits due to Executive under this Section 6 which are not otherwise required by law shall only be payable if Executive (or Executive’s beneficiary or estate) delivers to the Company and does not revoke (under the terms of applicable law) a general release of all claims, substantially in the form set out in the Company’s standard general release for Executives and attached hereto as Exhibit B, provided, if necessary, such general release may be updated and revised to achieve its intent, including to comply with applicable law. Such general release shall be executed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation) within sixty (60) days following termination. Failure to timely execute and return such release or revocation thereof shall be a waiver by Executive of Executive’s right to severance. In addition, severance shall be conditioned on Executive’s compliance with Section 8 hereof as provided in Section 9 below.

6.6 No Other Severance. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that, other than the severance payments described in this Section 6, upon termination of employment Executive shall not be entitled to any other severance, benefits, or payments under any Company benefit plan or severance policy generally available to the Company’s employees or otherwise, unless such benefit plan or severance policy is adopted subsequent to the Effective Date and is intended to replace or serve in lieu of provisions set forth herein.

On or immediately following the date of any termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall confirm the foregoing by submitting to the Company in writing a confirmation of Executive’s resignation(s).

8.7 Cooperation. During and following the Term, Executive shall give Executive’s assistance and cooperation willingly, upon reasonable advance notice (which shall include due regard to the extent reasonably feasible for Executive’s employment obligations and prior commitments), in any matter relating to Executive’s position with the Company and its Affiliates, or Executive’s knowledge as a result thereof as the Company may reasonably request, including Executive’s attendance and truthful testimony where deemed appropriate by the Company, with respect to any investigation or the Company’s (or an Affiliate’s) defense or prosecution of any existing or future claims or litigations or other proceeding relating to matters in which she was involved or had knowledge by virtue of Executive’s employment with the Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Executive specifically acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the restrictions contained in Section 8 of this Agreement is likely to result in irreparable injury to the Company and/or its Affiliates and that the remedy at law will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that in addition to any other remedy it may have in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 8 above, the Company and its Affiliates shall be entitled to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by Executive and to seek both temporary and permanent injunctive relief (to the maximum extent permitted by law) without bond, without notice (to the maximum extent permitted by law), and without liability should such relief be denied, modified or violated (to the maximum extent permitted by law). Furthermore, in the event of any breach of the provisions of Section 8.1 or 8.2 above or a material and willful breach of any other provision in Section 8 above (the “Forfeiture Criteria”), the Company shall be entitled to cease making any severance payments being made hereunder, pending a final determination of damages that have ensured from such alleged breach. Executive acknowledges and agrees that this Section 9 is a material inducement to the Company entering into this Agreement.

10. Severable Provisions. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in Section 8 are narrowly tailored and are reasonable and necessary for the purposes of preserving and protecting the Confidential Information, goodwill, and other legitimate business interests of the Company. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and the invalidity of any one or more provisions shall not affect the validity of any other provision. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is unenforceable in whole or in part because of the duration or scope thereof, the parties hereto agree that said court in making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and scope of such provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and that the Agreement in its reduced form shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

12. Miscellaneous.

12.1 Executive Representation. Executive hereby represents to the Company that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive and the Company and the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene, or be prevented, interfered with or hindered by, the terms of any employment agreement or other agreement or policy to which Executive is a party or otherwise bound, and further that Executive is not subject to any limitation on Executive’s activities on behalf of the Company as a result of agreements into which Executive has entered except for obligations of confidentiality with former employers.

To the extent this representation and warranty is not true and accurate, it shall be treated as a Cause event and the Company may terminate Executive for Cause or not permit Executive to commence employment. Executive further represents that Executive is not aware of any violation of federal securities law or any other unlawful conduct by the Company or its agents or of any complaint of such conduct by any employee which, in either case, has not been reported to the appropriate officials of the Company.

12.3 Effectiveness; Entire Agreement; Amendment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, this Agreement shall have no force or effect prior to the Effective Date.

This Agreement may not be amended or revised except by a writing signed by the parties.

12.4 Assignment and Transfer. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor in interest to the Company who acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate; provided, however, that, without Executive’s consent, no such assignment shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, duties or obligations of Executive shall be assignable by Executive, nor shall any of the payments required or permitted to be made to Executive by this Agreement be encumbered, transferred or in any way anticipated, except as required by applicable laws. All rights of Executive under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, estates, executors, administrators, heirs and beneficiaries.

12.6 Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts to be paid or benefits provided to Executive hereunder any federal, state, local or foreign withholding, FICA contributions, or other taxes, charges or deductions which it is from time to time required to withhold. The Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any question as to the amount or requirement of any such withholding shall arise.

12.7 Code Section 409A.

(a) The parties agree that this Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder to the extent applicable (collectively “Code Section 409A”), and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A. In no event whatsoever will the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Executive under Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

14

(b) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” If Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive, and (ii) the date of Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 12.7(b) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period to Executive in a lump sum with interest during the Delay Period at the prime rate, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

(c) With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, to be provided in any other taxable year, provided, that, this clause (ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Internal Revenue Code Section 105(b) solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred.

(d) For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date of termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.

12.8 Indemnification; Liability Insurance. The Company shall indemnify Executive both (a) to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of the Company’s incorporation and (b) in accordance with the more favorable of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and standard indemnification agreement as in effect on the Effective Date or as in effect on the date as of which the indemnification is owed. The Company’s obligations in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment and this Agreement for any reason. In addition, the Company shall provide Executive with coverage under its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as in effect from time to time on terms not less favorable than those provided to any of its other directors and officers.

15

12.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any and all claims arising out of, in connection with, under, pursuant to, or in any way related to this Agreement shall be governed by, construed under, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof. The Company and Executive agree that any suit, action or other legal proceeding that is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the State of Texas (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within the State of Texas), and the Company and Executive consent to the jurisdiction of such court and to the service of process in any manner provided by Texas law. Each of the Company and Executive irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court and any claim that such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees that service of process in accordance with the foregoing sentences shall be deemed in every respect effective and valid personal service of process upon such party.

12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and shall have the same effect as if the signatures hereto and thereto were on the same instrument.

12.11 Compliance with Dodd-Frank. All payments under this Agreement, if and to the extent subject to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, shall be subject to any incentive compensation policy established from time to time by the Company to comply with such Act.
