(c)    Cause. Employer may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. In the event of a termination under this Section 7(c), the Date of Termination shall be the date set forth in the Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, “Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following events which are not cured by Executive within ten days after receipt of written notice of such alleged cause from Employer or, if such event cannot be corrected within such ten-day period, if Executive does not commence to correct such default within said ten-day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the correction of same to completion within a reasonable time, provided, however, for no period greater than 30 days: (i) Executive’s conviction for any acts of fraud or breach of trust or any felony criminal acts; (ii) Executive’s knowingly making a materially false written statement to Employer’s auditors or legal counsel; (iii) Executive’s willful and material falsification of any corporate document or

form; (iv) any material breach by Executive of any Employer published policy received and acknowledged by Executive in writing; (v) any material breach by Executive of a material provision of this Employment Agreement; (vi) Executive’s making a material misrepresentation of fact or omission to disclose material facts in relation to transactions occurring in the business and financial matters of Employer; or (vii) Executive’s repeated and material failure substantially to perform Executive’s duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the two-year period following a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan, “Change in Control”) (the “Protected Period”), a termination for Cause (other than pursuant to Section 7(c)(i)) shall require a showing by Employer that the actions giving rise to such termination resulted in material and demonstrable harm to Employer.
(d)    Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without Executive’s written consent: (i) a material reduction in Executive’s base salary or incentive compensation opportunity, (ii) a material reduction in Executive’s responsibilities or authority; (iii) a material breach by Employer of a material provision of this Agreement, or (iv) a material change in the geographic location at which Executive must perform Executive’s services (except as provided in Section 5 above); provided, that in no instance will the relocation of Executive to a facility or a location that is either 25 miles or less from Executive’s then-current office or 25 miles or less from Executive’s then-current primary residence be deemed material for purposes of this Agreement.
In the event of a resignation for Good Reason, Executive must provide Employer with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason within 90 days of the initial existence of the grounds for Good Reason and a reasonable opportunity for Employer to cure the conditions giving rise to such Good Reason, which shall not be less than 30 days following the date of notice from Executive. If Employer cures the conditions giving rise to such Good Reason within 30 days of the date of such notice, Executive will not be entitled to severance payments and/or benefits contemplated by Section 9(a) below if Executive thereafter resigns from Employer based on such grounds. Any termination for Good Reason must be effectuated within 90 days of the expiration of such cure period.
(e)    Other Terminations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Employer may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, for any reason, with or without Cause, and Executive may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, with or without cause, in accordance with applicable state and federal law. The parties acknowledge that Executive is an at-will employee of Employer.
8.    Termination Procedure.
(a)    Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by Employer or by Executive (other than termination pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 15.
(b)    Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive’s death, the date of Executive’s death; (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 7(b), 30 days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that Executive shall not have returned to the performance of Executive’s duties on a full-time basis during such 30-day period); (iii) if Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 7(c), the date specified in the Notice of Termination; (iv) if Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason, upon expiration of the 30-day cure period set forth in Section 7(d) if Employer’s breach shall be uncured; and (v) if Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 7(e), immediately upon written notice delivered by the terminating party to the other, unless such notice designates a different termination date (in the case of a termination by Executive pursuant to Section 7(e), Employer may elect to accelerate the Date of Termination to any date following receipt of such notice, and such acceleration shall not be deemed a termination by Employer without Cause).
9.    Compensation Upon Termination.
(a)    Death; Disability; Termination By Employer without Cause or By Executive for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Period by reason of Executive’s death or Disability or by Employer without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, Employer shall pay to Executive (or Executive’s legal representatives or estate or as may be directed by the legal

-3-




representatives of Executive’s estate, as the case may be) (i) the Severance Amount (defined in Section 9(b)), payable in 12 equal monthly installments on the applicable monthly anniversaries of the Date of Termination; (ii) a payment, payable on the 60th day following the Date of Termination equal to the product of (x) the excess of the monthly COBRA premium required for Executive to continue health insurance coverage at the level in effect as of the Date of Termination over the employee premium Executive would be required to pay for such coverage were Executive still actively employed by Employer (each determined as of the Date of Termination) multiplied by (y) 12 (or, if the Date of Termination occurs during the Protected Period other than due to death or Disability, 24); and (iii) a lump sum cash payment, payable within five days following such Date of Termination, of an amount equal to any earned but unpaid Base Salary or bonus (in the case of an annual bonus, such payment may be made on the date annual bonuses for the applicable year are to be made generally, if such year ended prior to the Date of Termination but such general payment date is to occur subsequent to the fifth day following the Date of Termination) due to Executive in respect of periods through the Date of Termination plus accrued vacation in accordance with Employer’s vacation policy - subject to all required deductions and withholdings (the amounts due pursuant to this clause (iii), the “Accrued Amounts”). The amounts set forth in Section 9(a)(i)-(ii) shall be payable if and only if Executive shall have executed on or before the 50th day following the Date of Termination, and not subsequently revoked, a mutual release and covenant agreement substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit III (the “Release Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Executive is willing to execute the Release Agreement and the Company is not, the Company shall not be required to sign the Release Agreement, but, so long as Executive timely delivers an executed Release Agreement, the amounts set forth in Section 9(a)(i)-(ii) shall be payable to Executive. In the event Executive does not timely execute (or revokes) the Release Agreement, Executive shall repay to Employer, within five days following the 60th day following the Date of Termination, any payments previously made to Executive pursuant to Section 9(a)(i). For purposes of this Section 9, if Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason prior to a Change in Control but proximate to, or following, Employer’s (as defined in the Plan) entry into an agreement to enter into a transaction that would constitute a Change in Control, and such termination (or the event giving rise to the Good Reason claim) is made at the direction of the third-party effectuating such Change in Control, such termination shall be deemed to have occurred during the Protected Period.
(b)    Severance Amount. For the purposes of Section 9(a), “Severance Amount” means an amount equal to
(i)
if Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death or Disability, six months of Executive’s Base Salary (determined as of the Date of Termination);
(ii)
if, other than during the Protected Period, Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason, one multiplied by Executive’s Base Salary (determined as of the Date of Termination); or
(iii)
if, during the Protected Period, Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason, two multiplied by Executive’s Base Salary (determined as of the Date of Termination).
(c)    Cause or By Executive Other than for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer for Cause or by Executive other than for Good Reason, then Employer shall pay Executive, within five days following such Date of Termination, in a lump sum cash payment, the Accrued Amounts (other than annual bonuses with respect to which Executive did not satisfy the continued service requirements of Section 6(b)).
(d)    Certain Reductions. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Accounting Firm (as defined below) determines that receipt of all Payments (as defined below) would subject Executive to the tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the Accounting Firm shall determine whether to reduce any of the Agreement Payments (as defined below) to Executive so that the Parachute Value (as defined below) of all Payments to Executive, in the aggregate, equals the applicable Safe Harbor Amount (as defined below). Agreement Payments shall be so reduced only if the Accounting Firm determines that Executive would have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined below) of aggregate

-4-




Payments if the Agreement Payments were so reduced. If the Accounting Firm determines that Executive would not have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt of aggregate Payments if the Agreement Payments were so reduced, Executive shall receive all Agreement Payments to which Executive is entitled hereunder.
(i)
If the Accounting Firm determines that the aggregate Agreement Payments to Executive should be reduced so that the Parachute Value of all Payments to Executive, in the aggregate, equals the applicable Safe Harbor Amount, Employer shall promptly give Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 9(d) shall be binding upon Employer and Executive and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 15 days following the Date of Termination. For purposes of reducing the Agreement Payments to Executive so that the Parachute Value of all Payments to Executive, in the aggregate, equals the applicable Safe Harbor Amount, only Agreement Payments (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. The reduction contemplated by this Section 9(d), if applicable, shall be made by reducing payments and benefits (to the extent such amounts are considered Payments) under the following sections in the following order: (i) Section 9(a)(i); (ii) Section 9(a)(ii); and (iii) Section 9(a)(iii).
(ii)
As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by Employer to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement that should not have been so paid or distributed (each, an “Overpayment”) or that additional amounts that will have not been paid or distributed by Employer to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement could have been so paid or distributed (each, an “Underpayment”), in each case consistent with the calculation of the applicable Safe Harbor Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based on the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against Employer or Executive which the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by Employer to or for the benefit of Executive shall be repaid by Executive to Employer, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no such repayment shall be required if and to the extent such deemed repayment would not either reduce the amount on which Executive is subject to tax under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. If the Accounting Firm, based on controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Employer to or for the benefit of Executive, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.
(iii)
In connection with making determinations under this Section 9(d), the Accounting Firm shall take into account the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by Executive before or after the applicable transaction giving rise to application of Section 4999 of the Code, including any noncompetition provisions that may apply to Executive (whether set forth in this Agreement or otherwise), and Employer shall cooperate in the valuation of any such services, including any noncompetition provisions.
(iv)
All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in implementing the provisions of this Section 9(d) shall be borne by Employer.
(v)
The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Section 9(d).
(1)
Accounting Firm” shall mean a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm (which accounting firm shall in no event be the accounting firm for the entity seeking to effectuate such change of control) or other professional services organization that is a certified public accounting firm recognized as an expert in determinations and calculations for purposes of Section 280G of the

(4)

(5)

10.    No Mitigation.

This Section 11(h) shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, testifying in any legal or administrative proceeding, or responding to inquiries or requests for information by any regulator or auditor.
(i)    Injunctive Relief. Executive recognizes and agrees that the injury Employer will suffer in the event of a breach of this Section 11 may cause Employer irreparable injury that cannot adequately be compensated by monetary damages alone.

12.    Reasonableness of Restrictions.

Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and restrictive agreements contained in this Agreement are reasonable as to scope, location, and duration and that observation thereof will not cause Executive undue hardship or unreasonably interfere with Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood and practice Executive’s present skills and trades. Executive has consulted with legal counsel of Executive’s own selection regarding the meaning of such covenants and restrictions, which have been explained to Executive’s satisfaction.
13.    Successors Binding Agreement.
(a)    Employer’s Successors. Employer shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of its businesses and/or assets (“Transaction”) to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Employer would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Employer may honor the obligation set forth in the preceding sentence through execution in the course of consummating the Transaction of either a specific assignment and assumption agreement relating to the obligations set

-8-




forth herein, or a general assignment and assumption agreement. Failure of Employer to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of a material provision of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the “Employer” shall mean Employer as hereinbefore defined and any successor to the business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 13 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.
(b)    Executive’s Successors. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Executive. This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to Executive hereunder if Executive had continued to live, all such amounts unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Executive’s estate.
14.    Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Employer shall indemnify Executive (including the advancement of legal, accounting and other expert expenses) for any judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Executive in connection with the defense of any lawsuit or other claim to which Executive is made a party by reason of performing Executive’s responsibilities as an officer or executive of Employer or any of its subsidiaries; except that, Employer shall have no such duty of indemnification with regard to claims or suits brought, for any reason, against Executive by any former employer of Executive.
15.    Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given either (a) when delivered to a national overnight delivery service or (unless otherwise specified) mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed (i) in the case of notice to Employer, as set forth in the Preamble of this Agreement, attention of Employer’s Chief Executive Officer and Employer’s Chief Legal Officer and (ii) in the case of notice to Executive, to the address then current in Employer’s records, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt, or (b) by e-mail to Employer e-mail address of (i) in the case of notice to Employer, Employer’s Chief Executive Officer and Employer’s Chief Legal Officer and (ii) in the case of notice to Executive, Executive. No notices may be given via facsimile transmission.
16.    Severability. Should any term, condition, provision or part of this Agreement be found to be unlawful, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed null and void and severed from the Agreement for all purposes, but such illegality, or invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining parts of this Agreement, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, unless such would be manifestly inequitable or would serve to deprived either party of a material part of what it bargained for in entering in this Agreement.
17.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
18.    Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Employer may withhold from amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required to be withheld by applicable laws or regulations.
19.    Confidential Information and Invention Assignment. Executive shall execute and deliver a Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit IV hereto.
20.    Outside Fees. Executive agrees and covenants not to solicit or receive, in connection with Executive’s employment with Employer, any income or other compensation from any third party doing business with Employer, including, without limitation, any supplier, client, customer, or executive of Employer.
21.    Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Executive and an authorized officer of Employer. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by the other parties hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by any such other party shall be deemed a waiver of

-9-




similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. Any termination of Executive’s employment or of this Agreement shall have no effect on any continuing obligations arising under this Agreement, including without limitation, the right of Executive to receive payments pursuant to Section 9 hereof and the obligations of Executive described in Section 11 hereof.
22.    Applicable Law, Venue, Jurisdiction and Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, or U.S. federal law when applicable and supreme (without regard to the principles of conflicts of law). Any action or proceeding concerning, related to, regarding, or commenced in connection with the Agreement must be brought in a state or federal court located in Dallas, Texas, and the parties to the Agreement hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection they may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court, or that any such court is an inconvenient forum.
(a)    Arbitration Option. Either party shall also have the option to submit any disputes between Executive (and Executive’s attorneys, successors, and assigns) and Employer (and its Affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating in any manner whatsoever to Executive’s employment or termination thereof by either party, including, without limitation, all disputes arising under this Agreement (“Arbitrable Claims”), to binding arbitration in Denton County, Texas, pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association and the arbitration rules set forth in Texas Code of Civil Procedure (the “Rules”). The arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with Texas law, including the Texas Code of Civil Procedure, or U.S. federal law when applicable and supreme. To the extent that the AAA Employment Rules conflict with Texas or U.S. federal law, Texas or U.S. federal law shall take precedence. All persons and entities specified in this Section (other than Employer and Executive) shall be considered third-party beneficiaries of the rights and obligations created by this Section on Arbitration. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and judgment upon the award may be entered in any of the aforementioned courts having jurisdiction over this Agreement.
(b)    Arbitrable Claims. Arbitrable Claims shall include, but are not limited to, contract (express or implied) and tort claims of all kinds, as well as all claims based on any federal, state, or local law, statute, or regulation, excepting only claims under applicable workers’ compensation law and unemployment insurance claims. By way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, Arbitrable Claims shall include (to the fullest extent permitted by law) any claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as any claims asserting wrongful termination, harassment, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent or intentional misrepresentation, negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage, defamation, invasion of privacy, and claims related to disability. The parties shall be eligible to recover in arbitration any and all types of relief that would otherwise be available to them if they brought their claims in a judicial forum. Executive understands that this Agreement does not prohibit Executive from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws related to employment, including, but not limited to, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board. This Agreement does, however, preclude Executive from pursuing court action regarding any such claim, except as permitted by law.
(c)    Procedure.
(i)
Initiation. Arbitration of Arbitrable Claims shall be in accordance with the Employment Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association as amended (“AAA Employment Rules”), as augmented in this Agreement. Arbitration shall be initiated as provided by the AAA Employment Rules, although the written notice to the other party initiating arbitration shall also include a statement of the claim(s) asserted and the facts upon which the claim(s) are based. Either party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award.

-10-




(ii)
Binding Arbitration. Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the exclusive forum for all Arbitrable Claims, except for any appeals or enforcement of an arbitration award. Should one party select arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, then no other party shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or administrative action on overlapping issues of law or fact, unless the rights or obligations of third parties not subject to being determined in such arbitration are affected or must be determined in order for there to be a complete determination of the controversy, in which event the arbitration may be stayed or dismissed pending determination of the parties’ rights in a different forum where appropriate third parties are joined.
(iii)
Venue. All arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall be conducted in Dallas County, Texas.
(iv)
Arbitrator’s Decision Must Be In Writing. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall include a statement of the essential conclusions and findings upon which the decision is based.
(d)    Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRABLE CLAIMS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO THE MAKING, EXISTENCE, VALIDITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.
(e)    Arbitrator Selection and Authority. All disputes involving Arbitrable Claims shall be decided by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties within 30 days of the effective date of the notice initiating the arbitration. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the complaining party shall notify the AAA and request selection of an arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Employment Rules. The arbitrator shall have only such authority to award equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees as a court would have for the particular claim(s) asserted. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Arbitrable Claims, including, but not limited to, whether any particular claim is arbitrable and whether all or any part of this Agreement is void or unenforceable.
(f)    Arbitration Fees. Employer shall pay the expenses and fees of the arbitrator, together with other expenses of the arbitration incurred or approved by the neutral arbitrator, but excluding an initial filing fee of $100 (payable to AAA), and counsel fees or witness fees or other expenses incurred by a party for Executive’s own benefit. If the allocation of responsibility for payment of the arbitrator’s fees would render the obligation to arbitrate unenforceable, the parties authorize the arbitrator to modify the allocation as necessary to preserve enforceability.
(g)    Confidentiality. All proceedings and all documents prepared in connection with any Arbitrable Claim shall be confidential and, unless otherwise required by law, the subject matter thereof shall not be disclosed to any person other than the parties to the proceedings, their counsel, witnesses and experts, tax and financial advisors and immediate family members of Executive, the arbitrator, and, if involved, the court and court staff. All documents filed with the arbitrator or with a court shall be filed under seal. The parties shall stipulate to all arbitration and court orders necessary to effectuate fully the provisions of this subsection concerning confidentiality.
(h)    Continuing Obligations. The rights and obligations of Executive and Employer set forth in this Section on Arbitration shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment and the expiration of this Agreement.
23.    Section 409A.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), and the severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”) will not and could not under any circumstances, regardless of when such termination occurs, be paid in full by March 15 of the

-11-




year following Executive’s termination, then only that portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits which do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) may be made within the first six months following Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit (and such portion shall be payable within such period only to the extent permissible without resulting in tax under Section 409A). For these purposes, each severance payment is hereby designated as a separate payment and will not collectively be treated as a single payment. Any portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits that cannot be paid during such six-month period due to Section 409A shall accrue and, to the extent such portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits would otherwise have been payable within such six-month period, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six months and one day following the date of Executive’s termination. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, 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 termination but prior to the six-month anniversary of Executive’s termination, 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 Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.
(b)    The foregoing provision is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 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. Employer 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.
(c)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean the lesser of two times: (A) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during Employer’s taxable year preceding Employer’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (B) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated.
24.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, letters of intent, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by an officer, executive or representative of any party hereto; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect to the subject matter contained herein, including the Prior Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that no officer, executive or representative of Employer is authorized to offer any term or condition of employment which is in addition to or different than those set forth in this Agreement.

EXHIBIT IV
REALPAGE, INC.
FORM OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION,
INVENTION ASSIGNMENT, AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

As a condition of my employment with RealPage, Inc., or its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns (together the “Company”), and in consideration of my employment with the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by the Company, and other good and valuable consideration herein, the undersigned agrees to the following provisions of this Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement (this “Agreement”):
I.
Confidential Information.
A.    Company Information. I agree and acknowledge that as an Employee of the Company, I will be given access to Confidential Information that the Company has collected, developed, and/or discovered over time, and at great expense. I agree that during and for all times after my employment with the Company terminates, regardless of the reason for termination, I will hold in the strictest confidence, and will not use (except for the benefit of the Company during my employment) or disclose to any person, firm, or corporation (without written authorization of the President or the Board of Directors of the Company) any Company Confidential Information. I understand that my unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information during my employment may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination and legal action by the Company. I understand that “Company Confidential Information” means any non-public information that is not readily and easily available to the public or a matter of common knowledge to those in the Company’s business, trade, or industry that relates to the actual or anticipated business, research or development of the Company, or to the Company’s technical data, trade secrets, or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, or other information regarding the Company’s products or services and markets therefor customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on which I called or with which I may become acquainted during the term of my employment), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, and other business information; provided, however, Company Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items to the extent the same have become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of mine. I understand that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit employees’ rights to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of their employment, as protected by applicable law.
B.    Former Employer Information. I agree that during my employment with the Company, I will not improperly use, disclose, or induce the Company to use any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity. I further agree that I will not bring onto the premises of the Company or transfer onto the Company’s technology systems any unpublished document, proprietary information, or trade secrets belonging to any such employer, person, or entity unless consented to in writing by both the Company and such employer, person, or entity.
C.    Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company may have received and in the future may receive from third parties associated with the Company, e.g., the Company’s customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, partners, or collaborators (“Associated Third Parties”), their confidential or proprietary information (“Associated Third Party Confidential Information”). By way of example, Associated Third Party Confidential Information may include the habits or practices of Associated Third Parties, the technology of Associated Third Parties, requirements of Associated Third Parties, and information related to the business conducted between the Company and such Associated Third Parties. I agree at all times during my employment with the Company and thereafter to hold in the strictest confidence, and not to use or to disclose to any person, firm, or corporation, any Associated Third Party Confidential Information, except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such Associated Third Parties. I further agree to comply with any and all Company policies and guidelines that may be adopted from time to time regarding Associated Third Parties

    




EXECUTION COPY



and Associated Third Party Confidential Information. I understand that my unauthorized use or disclosure of Associated Third Party Confidential Information or violation of any Company policies during my employment will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination and legal action by the Company.
II.    Inventions.
A.    Inventions Retained and Licensed. I have attached hereto as Exhibit A, a list describing all inventions, discoveries, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets that were conceived in whole or in part by me prior to my employment with the Company and to which I have any right, title, or interest, and which relate to the Company’s proposed business, products, or research and development (“Prior Inventions”); or, if no such list is attached, I represent and warrant that there are no such Prior Inventions. Furthermore, I represent and warrant that if any Prior Inventions are included on Exhibit A, they will not materially affect my ability to perform all obligations under this Agreement. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into or use in connection with any product, process, service, technology, or other work by or on behalf of the Company any Prior Invention, I hereby grant to the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license, with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, to make, have made, modify, use, import, offer for sale, and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process, service, technology, or other work, and to practice any method related thereto.
B.    Assignment of Inventions. I agree that I will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks, or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under patent, copyright, or similar laws, which I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time I am in the employ of the Company (including during my off-duty hours), or with the use of Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or Company Confidential Information, except as provided in Section  II.E below (collectively referred to as “Inventions”). I further acknowledge that all original works of authorship that are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of my employment with the Company and that are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Inventions is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit, and that no royalty or other consideration will be due to me as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Inventions.
C.    Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate, current, accurate, and authentic written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, electronic files, reports, or any other format that may be specified by the Company. The records are and will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.
D.    Patent and Copyright Registrations. I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Inventions and any rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, and all other instruments that the Company shall deem proper or necessary in order to apply for, register, obtain, maintain, defend, and enforce such rights, and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title, and interest in and to such Inventions and any rights relating thereto, and testifying in a suit or other proceeding relating to such Inventions and any rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure my signature with respect to any Inventions, including, without limitation, to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering such Inventions, then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead, to execute and file any papers and oaths, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect to such Inventions with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

It is the policy of RealPage, Inc. to conduct its affairs in strict compliance with the letter and spirit of the law and to adhere to the highest principles of business ethics. Accordingly, all officers, employees, and independent contractors must avoid activities that are in conflict, or give the appearance of being in conflict, with these principles and with the interests of the Company. The following are potentially compromising situations that must be avoided:
1.    Revealing confidential information to outsiders or misusing confidential information. Unauthorized divulging of information is a violation of this policy whether or not for personal gain and whether or not harm to the Company is intended. (The At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement elaborates on this principle and is a binding agreement.)
2.    Accepting or offering substantial gifts, excessive entertainment, favors, or payments that may be deemed to constitute undue influence or otherwise be improper or embarrassing to the Company.
3.    Participating in civic or professional organizations that might involve divulging confidential information of the Company.
4.    Initiating or approving personnel actions affecting reward or punishment of employees or applicants where there is a family relationship or is or appears to be a personal or social involvement.
5.    Initiating or approving any form of personal or social harassment of employees.
6.    Investing or holding outside directorship in suppliers, customers, or competing companies, including financial speculations, where such investment or directorship might influence in any manner a decision or course of action of the Company.
7.    Borrowing from or lending to employees, customers, or suppliers.
8.    Acquiring real estate of interest to the Company.
9.    Improperly using or disclosing to the Company any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity with whom obligations of confidentiality exist.
10.    Unlawfully discussing prices, costs, customers, sales, or markets with competing companies or their employees.
11.    Making any unlawful agreement with distributors with respect to prices.
12.    Improperly using or authorizing the use of any inventions that are the subject of patent claims of any other person or entity.
13.    Engaging in any conduct that is not in the best interest of the Company.
Each officer, employee, and independent contractor must take every necessary action to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to bring problem areas to the attention of higher management for review. Violations of this conflict of interest policy may result in discharge without warning.
