(j)                                     Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If the Executive breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity:

(i)                                          Specific Performance. The right and remedy to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction in Travis County, Texas specific performance of the Restrictive Covenants or injunctive relief against any act which would violate any of the Restrictive Covenants, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and its Affiliates and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy. Any action or proceeding arising out of this Employment Agreement shall be maintained in Travis County, Texas. In the event an action is filed for specific performance or injunctive relief under this Section 6(j)(i), the parties further agree to submit to jurisdiction and venue in Travis County, Texas.

The right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company and its Affiliates all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants.

(k)                                  Severability of Covenants. If any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against public policy for any reason, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and such court, government, agency or authority shall be empowered to substitute, to the extent enforceable, provisions similar to the provisions governing the term, breadth or geographic scope of the Restrictive Covenants so as to provide to the Company and Affiliates thereof, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the benefits intended by such provisions.

(1)                                  Enforceability in Jurisdictions. The Company and the Executive intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants wholly invalid or unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the Company and the Executive that such determination not bar or in any way affect the right of the Company, or any of their Affiliates, to the relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of such Restrictive Covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

(m)                               Reasonableness of Restrictions. The Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 6, and having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth herein, including, but not limited to, the time period of restriction, the geographic areas of restriction, and the scope of the restriction are fair and reasonable, are supported by sufficient and valid consideration, and these restrictions do not impose any greater restraint than is

9

necessary to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of the Company and its Affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders and other employees.

7.                                       Arbitration. Any and all claims or controversies between the Company and the Executive relating to the Executive’s employment with the Company, or the termination thereof, including claims for breach of contract, personal injury, tort, employment discrimination (including unlawful harassment), and any violation of any state or federal ,law shall be resolved by final binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Executive understands that this agreement to arbitrate covers any and all claims that the Executive might bring under Title VII, the Americans With Disabilities Act or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The arbitrators shall be selected from a panel provided by the American Arbitration Association. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Austin, Texas or such other place as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Each party shall select one (1) individual to act as arbitrator, and the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. Each party shall bear its own costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees. The Executive shall pay a portion of the arbitrators’ expenses and administrative fees of arbitration equal to the standard filing fee in the U.S. Federal District Court, Western District in Austin, Texas. The Company shall pay the remainder of the arbitrators’ expenses and administrative fees of arbitration. If any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, then the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, if the Executive breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall have the right and remedy to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction specific performance of the Restrictive Covenants or injunctive relief against any act which would violate any of the Restrictive Covenants, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and its Affiliates.

9.             Compliance With Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Employment Agreement is intended to be interpreted and operated so that the payments and benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A or shall comply with the requirements of such provision; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be liable to the Executive for or with respect to any taxes, penalties or interest which may be imposed upon the Executive pursuant to Section 409A. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that no representations have been made to the Executive relating to the tax treatment of any payment pursuant to this Agreement under Code Section 409A and the corresponding provisions of any applicable state income tax laws. Specifically, the parties agree as follows:

(a)             Each severance payment shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments as set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) and no severance payment shall be paid later than the last day of the second taxable year of the Executive following the taxable year of the Executive’s “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h) (“Separation From Service”). To the extent that any severance payment constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A (a “409A Payment”), then, (A) in the event that a termination of Executive’s employment does not constitute a Separation From Service, such 409A Payment shall begin at such time as the Executive has otherwise experienced such a Separation from Service, and the date of such Separation from Service shall be deemed to be his Termination Date for purposes of Section 5 hereof, and (B) if on the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service, the Executive is a “specified employee,” as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i), as determined from time to time by the Company, then such 409A Payment shall not be made to the Executive earlier than the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the Executive’s Separation from Service; or (ii) the date of his death. The 409A Payments under this Agreement that would otherwise be made during such period shall be aggregated and paid in one lump sum, without interest, on the first business day following the end of the six (6) month period or following the date of the Executive’s death, whichever is earlier, and the balance of the 409A Payments, if any, shall be paid in accordance with the applicable payment schedule provided in Section 5.

(b)             With respect to reimbursements (whether such reimbursements are for business expenses or, to the extent permitted under the Company’s policies, other expenses)

13

and/or in-kind benefits, in each case, that constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion), each of the following shall apply: (1) no reimbursement of expenses incurred by Executive during any taxable year shall be made after the last day of the following taxable year of Executive, (2) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a taxable year of Executive shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, to Executive in any other taxable year, and (3) the right to reimbursement of such expenses or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

10.         WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. NO PARTY TO THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OR ANY ASSIGNEE, SUCCESSOR, HEIR OR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF A PARTY SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER AGREEMENTS OR THE DEALINGS OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION, IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED, WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY THE PARTIES HERETO, AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS. NEITHER PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO THE OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.
