--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

Committee of the achievement of Debt Milestone 2. Certification of Debt

year in which Debt Milestone 2 is achieved.

(d) Termination of Employment.  Upon the Termination of Employment of any
Participant with the Employer, the Company and any Affiliate, any unpaid Bonus
Award will be forfeited to the Company and be null and void; provided, however,
to the extent achievement of Debt Milestone 2 was certified by the Committee
pursuant to Section 5(c) prior to the date of a Participant’s Termination of
Employment by the Employer, the Company and any Affiliate for any reason other
than Cause, Debt Milestone 2 will be paid at the time provided in Section 5(c)
to such terminated Participant.

6. General Provisions.

(a) Term.  The Cash LTIP will terminate immediately following the end of the
Performance Period except to the extent Debt Milestone 2 was achieved prior to
such time and any Bonus Award remains unpaid as of the end of the Performance
Period, in which case the Cash LTIP will terminate upon payment of the remaining
Bonus Awards. To the extent Debt Milestone 2 is not achieved on or before June
30, 2018, the unearned and unpaid portion of all Bonus Awards will immediately
terminate and be forfeited for no consideration immediately following the end of
the Performance Period. The Cash LTIP will terminate immediately prior to the
occurrence of a Change of Control except to the extent necessary to pay unpaid
amounts, if any, with respect to the Bonus Award payable pursuant to Section
5(b).

(b) Taxes and Offset.  The Employer, the Company and any Affiliate are
authorized to withhold from any Bonus Award granted, or any payment relating to
a Bonus Award under the Cash LTIP, amounts of withholding and other taxes due or
potentially payable in connection with any Bonus Award, and to take such other
action as the Company may deem advisable to enable the Employer, the Company,
any Affiliate and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of
withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Bonus Award. In
addition, the Employer, the Company and any Affiliates may withhold and deduct
from any payments made or to be made pursuant to a Bonus Award (i) any
deductions consented to in writing by a Participant, or (ii) any other sums owed
by the Participant to the Employer, the Company, any Affiliate or any employee
benefit plan or program of the Employer, the Company or any Affiliate.

(c) Amendment and Termination of the Cash LTIP.  The Company, upon action of the
Committee, shall have the right, without consent of such Participant, to amend
the Cash LTIP by an instrument in writing which has been executed on the
Company’s behalf by its duly authorized officer, at any time and in any way that
would not materially and adversely affect a Participant or his rights hereunder.

(d) Successors.  The provisions of this Cash LTIP shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. The term “successors” as
used in this Cash LTIP shall include any corporation or other business entity
which shall by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, acquire all or
substantially all of the business and assets of the Company, and successors of
any such corporations or other business entities. Where appropriate, the term
“Company” as used in this Cash LTIP shall include any successor that assumes the
Cash LTIP.

(e) Nontransferability of Bonus Awards.  The Participant shall not have the
right to alienate, pledge, or encumber his interest in the Cash LTIP, and such
interest shall not (to the extent permitted by law) be subject in any way to the
claims of the Participant’s creditors or to attachment, execution or other
process of law.

(f) Release.  Any payment to any Participant in accordance with the provisions
of the Cash LTIP shall, to the extent thereof, by in full satisfaction of all
claims against the Employer, the Company and any Affiliate under the Cash LTIP
or otherwise, and the Committee may require such Participant, as a condition
precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect. The
Committee may require, as a condition to receiving payment of any Bonus Award,
that the Participant (or Participant’s legal representative, heir, legatee or
distribute) execute a release of all claims in favor of the Employer, the
Company, any Affiliate and the employees, officers, stockholders or board
members of the foregoing in such form as the Company shall determine. If any
Participant is determined by the Committee to be

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

incompetent, by reason of physical or mental disability, to give a valid receipt
and release, the Committee may cause the payment or payments becoming due to
such person to be made to another person for his benefit without responsibility
on the part of the Committee or the Company to follow the application of such
funds.

(g) Limitation on Rights Conferred Under Cash LTIP.  Neither the Cash LTIP nor
any action taken hereunder will be construed as:

(i) giving the Participant the right to continue as a Participant or in the
employ or service of the Employer, the Company or any Affiliate;

(ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Employer, the Company or any
Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time; or

(iii) giving the Participant any claim to be granted any Bonus Award under the
Cash LTIP or to be treated uniformly with other employees.

(h) Nonexclusivity of the Cash LTIP.  The adoption of the Cash LTIP by the
Company will not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the
Company to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable.
Nothing contained in the Cash LTIP will be construed to prevent the Company from
taking any action which is deemed by the Company to be appropriate or in its
best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the
Cash LTIP or any Bonus Award made under the Cash LTIP. No employee, beneficiary
or other person will have any claim against the Company as a result of any such
action. Any action with respect to the Cash LTIP taken by the Committee, the
Board or the Company shall be conclusive upon all Participants and beneficiaries
entitled to benefits under the Cash LTIP.

(i) Severability.  If any provision of the Cash LTIP is held to be illegal or
invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the
remaining provisions of the Cash LTIP, but such provision will be fully
severable and the Cash LTIP will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or
invalid provision had never been included herein.

(j) Governing Law.  All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the
Cash LTIP and Bonus Awards will be determined by application of the laws of the
State of Texas, without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions thereof,
except to the extent Texas law is preempted by federal law.

(k) Entire Agreement.  The Cash LTIP and the Participation Agreement embody the
complete agreement and understanding with all Participants with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersede and preempt any prior understandings,
agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which
may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way as to vesting,
settlement or forfeiture of the Bonus Awards or otherwise.

(l) Unfunded Arrangement.  The Cash LTIP shall at all times be entirely
unfunded. Neither the Participant nor any other person shall have any interest
in any particular assets of the Company or any Affiliate thereof by reason of
the right to receive a Bonus Award under the Cash LTIP and the Participant or
such other person(s) shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor
of the Employer, the Company or any Affiliate thereof with respect to any rights
under the Cash LTIP.

(m) Word Usage.  Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine, where
applicable, and wherever the context of the Cash LTIP dictates, the plural shall
be read as the singular and the singular as the plural.

(n) Application of Section 409A.  No Employee has a legally binding right to any
payment under the Cash LTIP until the date such Employee receives a
Participation Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in a Participation
Agreement, the amounts payable pursuant to this Cash LTIP are intended to comply
with the short term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4),
and this Cash LTIP shall be interpreted accordingly. Nevertheless, to the extent
that a Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of the Treasury
Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (the “Section 409A

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

Regulations”) as of the Participant’s date of termination, no amount that
constitutes a deferral of compensation which is payable on account of the
Participant’s separation from service shall be paid to the Participant before
the date (the “Delayed Payment Date”) which is first day of the seventh month
after the Participant’s date of termination or, if earlier, the date of the
Participant’s death following such date of termination. All such amounts that
would, but for this Section 6(n), become payable prior to the Delayed Payment
Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date. No interest will
be paid by the Company with respect to any such delayed payments. For purposes
of Section 409A of the Code, each payment or amount due under this Cash LTIP
shall be considered a separate payment.
