EXHIBIT 10.1

(i)    Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon the
Executive’s death.
(ii)    Disability. If the Executive incurs a Disability, the Company may give
the Executive written notice of its intention to terminate the Executive’s
employment. In that event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall
terminate, effective on the later of the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of
such notice by the Executive or the date specified in such notice; provided that
within the thirty (30) day period following receipt of such notice, the
Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s
duties hereunder.

employment for Cause.

(vi)    Resignation without Good Reason. The Executive may resign from the
Executive’s employment without Good Reason.
(vii)    Non-Extension of Term by the Company. The Company may give notice of
non-extension to the Executive pursuant to Section 2(b). For the avoidance of
doubt, non-extension of the Term by the Company shall not constitute termination
by the Company without Cause.
(viii)    Non-Extension of Term by the Executive. The Executive may give notice
of non-extension to the Company pursuant to Section 2(b). For the avoidance of
doubt, non-extension of the Term by the Executive shall not constitute
resignation for Good Reason.
(b)    Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by
the Company or by the Executive under this Section 4 (other than a termination
pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) above) shall be communicated by a written notice to
the other party hereto: (i) indicating the specific termination provision in
this Agreement relied upon, (ii) except with respect to a termination pursuant
to Sections 4(a)(iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii), setting forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the
Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) specifying a
Date of Termination which, if submitted by the Executive (or, in the case of a
termination described in Section 4(a)(ii), by the Company), shall be at least
thirty (30) days following the date of such notice (a “Notice of Termination”);
provided, however, that a Notice of Termination delivered by the Company
pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) shall not be required to specify a Date of

determined pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii); and provided, further, that in the
event that the Executive delivers a Notice of Termination (other than a notice
of non-extension under Section 4(a)(viii) above) to the Company, the Company
may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the Date of Termination to any date that
occurs following the date of Company’s receipt of such Notice of Termination
(even if such date is prior to the date specified in such Notice of
Termination). A Notice of Termination submitted by the Company may provide for a
Date of Termination on the date the Executive receives the Notice of
Termination, or any date thereafter elected by the Company in its sole
discretion. The failure by the Company or the Executive to set forth in the
Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of
Cause or Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Company or the Executive
hereunder or preclude the Company or the Executive from asserting such fact or
circumstance in enforcing the Company’s or the Executive’s rights hereunder.
5.    Company Obligations Upon Termination of Employment.
(a)    In General. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment for any
reason, the Executive (or the Executive’s estate) shall be entitled to receive:
(i) any portion of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of
Termination not theretofore paid, (ii) any expenses owed to the Executive under

conditions of such employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements. Any Annual
Bonus earned for any calendar year completed prior to the Date of Termination,
but unpaid prior to such date, and any Prorated Termination Bonus owed pursuant
to the last sentence of Section 3(b), shall be paid within sixty (60) days after
the Date of Termination (but in any event on or prior to March 15 of the
calendar year immediately following such completed calendar year with respect to
which such Annual Bonus or Prorated Termination Bonus was earned). Except as
otherwise set forth in Section 5(b) below, the payments and benefits described
in this Section 5(a) shall be the only payments and benefits payable in the
event of the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason.
(b)    Severance Payment
(i)    In the event of the Executive’s termination of employment under the
circumstances described below, then, in addition to the payments and benefits
described in Section 5(a) above, the Company shall, during the Severance Period,
pay to the Executive an amount (the “Severance Payment”) calculated as described
below:
(A)    If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company without
Cause pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) or by the Executive’s resignation for Good
Reason pursuant to Section 4(a)(v), in each case other than during the Change in
Control Period, then the Severance Payment shall be an amount equal to the sum
of (1) the Annual Base Salary for the year in which the Date of Termination
occurs, and (2) the Annual Bonus paid to the Executive in respect of the
calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination
occurs.

Execution Copy

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

EXHIBIT 10.1

(B)    If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company without
Cause pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) or by the Executive’s resignation for Good
Reason pursuant to Section 4(a)(v), in each case during the Change in Control
Period, then the Severance Payment shall be an amount equal to one and one-half
(1 ½) times the sum of (1) the Annual Base Salary for the year in which the Date
of Termination occurs, and (2) the Annual Bonus paid to the Executive in respect
of the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of
Termination occurs.
(C)    If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated due to non-extension of
the Initial Term or any Extension Term by the Company pursuant to Section
4(a)(vii) or by the Executive pursuant to Section 4(a)(viii), but only if the
Company exercises its Noncompete Option in connection with such termination,
then the Severance Payment shall be an amount equal to (1) the sum of (x) the
Annual Base Salary for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, and (y)
the Annual Bonus paid to the Executive in respect of the calendar year
immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs,
multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of
days from the Date of Termination through the expiration date of the Restricted
Period (as elected by the Company pursuant to its Noncompete Option), and the
denominator of which is 365.
(ii)    The Severance Payment shall be in lieu of notice or any other severance
benefits to which the Executive might otherwise be entitled. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (A) no portion of the Severance Payment shall
be paid unless, on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the Date of
Termination, the Executive timely executes a general waiver and release of
claims agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Release”), which Release shall not have been revoked by the Executive prior to
the expiration of the period (if any) during which any portion of such Release
is revocable under applicable law, and (B) as of the first date on which the
Executive violates any covenant contained in Section 7, any remaining unpaid
portion of the Severance Payment shall thereupon be forfeited. Subject to the
provisions of Section 9, the Severance Payment shall be paid in equal
installments during the Severance Period, at the same time and in the same
manner as the Annual Base Salary would have been paid had the Executive remained
in active employment during the Severance Period, in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll practices in effect on the Date of Termination;
provided that any installment that would otherwise have been paid prior to the
first normal payroll payment date occurring on or after the thirtieth (30th) day
following the Date of Termination (such payroll date, the “First Payment Date”)
shall instead be paid on the First Payment Date. For purposes of Section 409A
(including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of
the Department of Treasury Regulations), the Executive’s right to receive the
Severance Payment in the form of installment payments (the “Installment
Payments”) shall be treated as a right to

10

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

EXHIBIT 10.1

receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each Installment Payment
shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment.
(c)    The provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede in their entirety any
severance payment provisions in any severance plan, policy, program or other
arrangement maintained by the Company.
6.    Change in Control.
(a)    Equity Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or any other agreement, including the LTIP and any award agreement thereunder,
all equity awards granted to the Executive under the LTIP and held by the
Executive as of immediately prior to a Change in Control, to the extent
unvested, shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(b)    Golden Parachute Excise Tax Protection. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement, if any portion of the payments or benefits provided to the
Executive hereunder, or under any other agreement with the Executive or any
plan, policy or arrangement of the Company or any of its Affiliates (in the
aggregate, “Total Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” and
would, but for this Section 6(b), result in the imposition on the Executive of
an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Total
Payments to be made to the Executive shall either be (i) delivered in full, or
(ii) reduced by such amount such that no portion of the Total Payments would be
subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing results in the receipt by
the Executive of the greatest benefit on an after-tax basis (taking into account
the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax). The
determination of whether a reduction in Total Payments is necessary and the
amount of any such reduction shall be made by the Company in its reasonable
discretion and in reliance on its tax advisors. If the Company so determines
that a reduction in Total Payments is required, such reduction shall apply first
pro rata to (A) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code as “deferred
compensation” and (B) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code (in
each case with the cash payments otherwise scheduled to be paid latest in time
reduced first), and then pro rata to (C) equity-based compensation subject to
Section 409A of the Code as “deferred compensation” and (D) equity-based
compensation not subject to Section 409A of the Code.
7.    Restrictive Covenants.
(a)    The Executive shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period,
directly or indirectly engage in, have any equity interest in, or manage or
operate any person, firm, corporation, partnership, business or entity (whether
as director, officer, employee, agent, representative, partner, security holder,
consultant or otherwise) that engages in (either directly or through any
subsidiary or Affiliate thereof) any business or activity (i) relating to
midstream assets (including, without limitation, the gathering, processing and
transportation of natural gas and the transportation and storage of refined
products other than natural gas) in North America, which competes with the
business of the Company or any entity owned by the Company, or (ii) which the
Company or any of its Affiliates has taken active steps to engage in or acquire,
but only if the Executive directly or indirectly engages in, has any equity

or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted
to acquire a passive stock or equity interest in such a business; provided that
such stock or other equity interest acquired is not more than five percent (5%)
of the outstanding interest in such business.
(b)    The Executive shall not, at any time during the Term or during the twelve
(12)-month period immediately following the Date of Termination, directly or
indirectly, either for himself or on behalf of any other entity, (i) recruit or
otherwise solicit or induce any employee, customer, subscriber or supplier of
the Company to terminate its employment or arrangement with the Company, or
otherwise change its relationship with the Company, or (ii) hire, or cause to be
hired, any person who was employed by the Company at any time during the twelve
(12)-month period immediately prior to the Date of Termination or who thereafter
becomes employed by the Company.
(c)    The provisions contained in Sections 7(a) and (b) may be altered and/or
waived to be made less restrictive on the Executive with the prior written
consent of the Board or the Compensation Committee.
(d)    Except as the Executive reasonably and in good faith determines to be
required in the faithful performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder or in
accordance with Section 7(f), the Executive shall, during the Term and after the
Date of Termination, maintain in confidence and shall not directly or
indirectly, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for the Executive’s
benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any
confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the
Company, including, without limitation, information with respect to the
Company’s operations, processes, protocols, products, inventions, business
practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential
customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships,
regulatory status, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment
(“Proprietary Information”), or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or
other entity, any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar
repository of or containing any such Proprietary Information. The Executive’s
obligation to maintain and not use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for
the Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other
entity, any Proprietary Information after the Date of Termination will continue
so long as such Proprietary Information is not, or has not by legitimate means
become, generally known and in the public domain (other than by means of the
Executive’s direct or indirect disclosure of such Proprietary Information) and
continues to be maintained as Proprietary Information by the Company. The
parties hereby stipulate and agree that as between them, the Proprietary
Information identified herein is important, material and affects the successful
conduct of the businesses of the Company (and any successor or assignee of the
Company).
(e)    Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any
reason, the Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all correspondence,
drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans,
proposals, financial documents, or any other documents concerning the Company’s
customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products or processes.
(f)    The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal
process but shall give the Company (if lawfully permitted to do so) the earliest
possible notice thereof, and shall, as much in advance of the return date as
possible, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other
information sought, and shall assist such counsel in resisting or

EXHIBIT 10.1

otherwise responding to such process. Upon notification from Executive of such
subpoena or other legal process, but only to the extent that such notification
is provided during the Restricted Period, the Company shall, at its reasonable
expense, retain mutually acceptable legal counsel to represent Executive in
connection with Executive’s response to any such subpoena or other legal
process. The Executive may also disclose Proprietary Information if: (i) in the
reasonable written opinion of counsel for the Executive furnished to the
Company, such information is required to be disclosed for the Executive not to
be in violation of any applicable law or regulation or (ii) the Executive is
required to disclose such information in connection with the enforcement of any
rights under this Agreement or any other agreements between the Executive and
the Company.
(g)    The Executive agrees not to disparage the Company, any of its products or
practices, or any of its directors, officers, agents, representatives, equity
holders or Affiliates, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that
the Executive may confer in confidence with the Executive’s legal
representatives, make truthful statements to any government agency in sworn
testimony, or make truthful statements as otherwise required by law. The Company
agrees that, upon the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, it
shall advise its directors and executive officers not to disparage the
Executive, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that they may
confer in confidence with the Company’s and their legal representatives and make
truthful statements as required by law.
(h)    Prior to accepting other employment or any other service relationship
during the Restricted Period, the Executive shall provide a copy of this Section
7 to any recruiter who assists the Executive in obtaining other employment or
any other service relationship and to any employer or person with which the
Executive discusses potential employment or any other service relationship.
(i)    In the event the terms of this Section 7 shall be determined by any court
of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too
great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its
being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only
over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the
maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum
extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as
determined by such court in such action.
(j)    As used in this Section 7, the term “Company” shall include the Company,
its parent, related entities, and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
8.    Injunctive Relief. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that a breach
of the covenants contained in Section 7 will cause irreparable damage to the
Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or
impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will
be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of a breach
of any of the covenants contained in Section 7, in addition to any other remedy
which may be available at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to
specific performance and injunctive relief.
9.    Section 409A.

Execution Copy

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

EXHIBIT 10.1

(a)    General. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent
applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with, and
incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company
determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be immediately taxable to the
Executive under Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to (without any
obligation to do so or to indemnify the Executive for failure to do so) (i)
adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt such other policies and
procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive
effect) that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the
intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve
the economic benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable accounting
or tax consequences for the Company and/or (ii) take such other actions it
determines to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable
hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A
and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with
the requirements of Section 409A from the Executive or any other individual to
the Company or any of its Affiliates, employees or agents.
(b)    Separation from Service under Section 409A; Section 409A Compliance.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) no termination or other
similar payments and benefits hereunder shall be payable unless the Executive’s
termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Department of Treasury Regulations; (ii)
if the Executive is deemed at the time of the Executive’s separation from
service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of
the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of any termination
or other similar payments and benefits to which the Executive may be entitled
hereunder (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payments
or benefits under Section 409A) is required in order to avoid a prohibited
distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of such
payments and benefits shall not be provided to the Executive prior to the
earlier of (x) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date
of the Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company (as such term is
defined in the Department of Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A) or
(y) the date of the Executive’s death; provided that upon the earlier of such
dates, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 9(b)(ii)
shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive, and any remaining payments and
benefits due hereunder shall be provided as otherwise specified herein;
(iii) the determination of whether the Executive is a “specified employee” for
purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of the
Executive’s separation from service shall be made by the Company in accordance
with the terms of Section 409A (including, without limitation, Section
1.409A-1(i) of the Department of Treasury Regulations and any successor
provision thereto); (iv) to the extent that any Installment Payments under this
Agreement are deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within
the meaning of Section 409A, for purposes of Section 409A (including, without
limitation, for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Department of
Treasury Regulations), each such payment that the Executive may be eligible to
receive under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct
payment; (v) to the extent that any reimbursements or corresponding in-kind
benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement are deemed to constitute
“deferred compensation” under Section 409A, such reimbursements or benefits
shall be provided reasonably promptly, but in no event later than December 31 of
the year

EXHIBIT 10.1

following the year in which the expense was incurred, and in any event in
accordance with Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) of the Department of Treasury
Regulations; and (vi) the amount of any such payments or expense reimbursements
in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses or in-kind benefits eligible
for payment or reimbursement in any other calendar year, other than an
arrangement providing for the reimbursement of medical expenses referred to in
Section 105(b) of the Code, and the Executive’s right to such payments or
reimbursement of any such expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or
exchange for any other benefit.
10.    Assignment and Successors. The Company may assign its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to any entity, including any successor to all
or substantially all the assets of the Company, by merger or otherwise, and may
assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for
indebtedness of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive may not assign the
Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement to any individual or
entity. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Company, the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and
legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees,
and legatees, as applicable.
11.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, interpreted
and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware,

jurisdiction, and where applicable, the laws of the United States.

provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.

communication hereunder to any party hereto shall be effective upon receipt (or

EXHIBIT 10.1

14.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will
constitute one and the same Agreement.
15.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with any other agreements and
instruments contemplated hereby or referred to herein) is intended by the
parties hereto to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the
employment of the Executive by the Company and may not be contradicted by
evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement (including, without
limitation, any term sheet or offer letter). The parties hereto further intend
that this Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its
terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any
judicial, administrative, or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this
Agreement. This Agreement expressly supersedes the Original Employment
Agreement.
16.    Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or
terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Executive and a
duly authorized officer of the Company and approved by the Board, which
expressly identifies the amended provision of this Agreement. By an instrument
in writing similarly executed and approved by the Board, the Executive or a duly
authorized officer of the Company may waive compliance by the other party or
parties hereto with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or
is obligated to comply with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver
shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or
subsequent failure to comply or perform. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder shall preclude any other or
further exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law
or in equity.
17.    No Inconsistent Actions. The parties hereto shall not voluntarily
undertake or fail to undertake any action or course of action inconsistent with
the provisions or essential intent of this Agreement. Furthermore, it is the
intent of the parties hereto to act in a fair and reasonable manner with respect
to the interpretation and application of the provisions of this Agreement.
18.    Construction. This Agreement shall be deemed drafted equally by both of
the parties hereto. Its language shall be construed as a whole and according to
its fair meaning. Any presumption or principle that the language is to be
construed against any party hereto shall not apply. The headings in this
Agreement are only for convenience and are not intended to affect construction
or interpretation. Any references to paragraphs, subparagraphs, sections or
subsections are to those parts of this Agreement, unless the context clearly
indicates to the contrary. Also, unless the context clearly indicates to the
contrary, (a) the plural includes the singular and the singular includes the
plural; (b) “and” and “or” are each used both conjunctively and disjunctively;
(c) “any,” “all,” “each,” or “every” means “any and all,” and “each and every”;
(d) ”includes” and “including” are each “without limitation”; (e) “herein,”
“hereof,” “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here” refer to
the entire Agreement and not to any particular paragraph, subparagraph, section
or subsection; and (f) all pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed
to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity
of the entities or persons referred to may require.

17

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

EXHIBIT 10.1

1.    Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy based on, arising under or
relating to this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by final and binding
arbitration, conducted before a single neutral arbitrator in Dallas, Texas in
accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the
American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect. Arbitration may be
compelled, and judgment may be entered on the arbitration award in any court
having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to
seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to
prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of Section 7, and
the Executive hereby consents that such restraining order or injunction may be
granted without requiring the Company to post a bond. Only individuals who are
(a) lawyers engaged full-time in the practice of law and (b) on the AAA roster
of arbitrators shall be selected as an arbitrator. Within twenty (20) days of
the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall prepare written
findings of fact and conclusions of law. The arbitrator shall be entitled to
award any relief available in a court of law. Each party shall bear its own
costs and attorneys’ fees in connection with an arbitration; provided that the
Company shall bear the cost of the arbitrator and the AAA’s administrative fees.
2.    Enforcement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term
of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall
be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
had never comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected
by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this
Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a
provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
3.    Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts
payable under this Agreement, any federal, state, local or foreign withholding
or other taxes or charges which the Company is required to withhold. The Company
shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any questions as to the
amount or requirement of withholding shall arise.
4.    Absence of Conflicts; Executive Acknowledgement. The Executive hereby
represents that from and after the Effective Date the performance of the
Executive’s duties hereunder will not breach any other agreement to which the
Executive is a party. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive has read and
understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, has not acted in
reliance upon any representations or promises made by the Company other than
those contained in writing herein, and has entered into this Agreement freely
based on the Executive’s own judgment.
5.    Survival. The expiration or termination of the Term shall not impair the
rights or obligations of any party hereto which shall have accrued prior to such
expiration or termination.
