any Participant or Beneficiary, or their legal representative, has a claim for benefits which is not being paid, such claimant may file a written claim with the Committee setting forth the amount and nature of the claim, supporting facts, and the
claimants address. A claimant must file any such claim within sixty (60) days after a Participants Termination Date. Written notice of the disposition of a claim by the Committee shall be furnished to the claimant within ninety
(90) days after the claim is filed. In the event of special circumstances, the Committee may extend the period for determination for up to an additional ninety (90) days, in which case it shall so advise the claimant. If the claim is

5



---

writing, of its decision within the next sixty (60) days. Due to special circumstances, the Committee may extend the
period for determination for up to an additional sixty (60) days.

9. TAXES.

(a) Withholding Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any and all payments made to a Participant under the Program all federal,
state, local and/or other taxes or imposts which the Company determines are required to be so withheld from such payments or by reason of any other payments made to or on behalf of the Participant or for his/her benefit hereunder.

(b) No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. No person connected with the Program in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Company and any
Subsidiary and their directors, officers, agents and employees makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be
applicable with respect to amounts deferred under the Program, or paid to or for the benefit of a Participant under the Program, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in the Program.

10. TERM OF PROGRAM. The Program shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until the Board terminates the
Program in accordance with Section 11(b) below.

11. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

(a) Amendment of Program. The Program may be amended by the Board at any time with or without prior notice; provided, however, that any amendment
of the Program during the thirty six (36)-month period immediately following the Effective Date which is less favorable to a Participant shall not be effective as to such Participant unless the Participant shall have consented thereto in writing.

(b) Termination of Program. The Program may be terminated or suspended by the Board at any time with or without prior notice;
provided, however, that any termination or suspension to be effective during the thirty six (36)-month period immediately following the Effective Date shall not be effective with respect to any Participant unless such Participant shall have
consented thereto in writing.

(c) No Adverse Affect. If the Program is amended, terminated, or suspended in accordance with
Section 11(a) or 11(b) above, such action shall not adversely affect the benefits under the Program to which any Terminated Participant (as of the date of amendment, termination or suspension) is entitled.

(d) Code Section 409A. It is intended that this Program and the Committees exercise of authority or discretion hereunder shall comply
with the provisions of Code Section 409A and the treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject a Participant to the payment of interest and tax penalty which may be imposed under Code Section 409A. In furtherance of this
interest, to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Code Section 409A after the Effective Date would result in a Participant being subject to payment of



6



---

interest and tax penalty under Code Section 409A, the Committee may amend this Program, including with respect to
the timing of payment of benefits, in order to avoid the application of Code Section 409A.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Offset. Severance Benefits shall be reduced by any severance or similar payment or benefit made or provided by the Company or any Subsidiary to
the Participant pursuant to (i) any severance plan, program, policy or similar arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including without limitation the CIC Agreement), (ii) any employment agreement between the Company
or any Subsidiary and the Participant, and (iii) any federal, state or local statute, rule, regulation or ordinance. For avoidance of doubt, (A) any payment or benefit which is a Vested Benefit shall not be considered a severance or
similar payment or benefit under this Section 12(a), and (B) the Program is not intended to, and shall not, result in any duplication of payments or benefits to any Participant.

(b) No Right, Title, or Interest in Company Assets. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any assets of the
Company or any investments that the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Program. Nothing contained in the Program, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any
kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, Beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Program, such right shall
be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Subject to this Section 12(b), all payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be
established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts.

(c) No Right to Continued Employment. The
Participants rights, if any, to continue to serve the Company as an employee shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his/her designation as a Participant under the Program, and the Company or the applicable Subsidiary reserves the right
to terminate the employment of any employee at any time. The adoption of the Program shall not be deemed to give any employee, or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to continued employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary.

(d) Other Rights. The Program shall not affect or impair the rights or obligations of the Company or a Participant
under any other written plan, contract, arrangement, or pension, profit sharing or other compensation plan.

(e) Governing Law. The
Program shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except as superseded by applicable federal law (including, without limitation, ERISA).

(f) Severability. If any term or condition of the Program shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent or in any application, then the
remainder of the Program, with the exception of such invalid or unenforceable provision (but only to the extent that such term or



7



---

condition cannot be appropriately reformed or modified), shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in effect and
application to its fullest extent.

(g) Incapacity. If the Committee determines that a Participant is unable to care for his/her
affairs because of illness or accident or because he or she is a minor, any benefit due the Participant may be paid to the Participants spouse or to any other person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for such Participant
(including a duly appointed guardian, committee or other legal representative), and any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the Companys obligation hereunder.

(h) Transferability of Rights. The Company shall have the unrestricted right to transfer its obligations under the Program with respect to one or
more Participants to any person, including, but not limited to, any purchaser of all or any part of the Companys assets or business. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to commute, encumber, transfer or otherwise dispose of or
alienate any present or future right or expectancy which the Participant or Beneficiary may have at any time to receive payments of benefits hereunder, which benefits and the right thereto are expressly declared to be non-assignable and
nontransferable, except to the extent required by law. Any attempt to transfer or assign a benefit, or any rights granted hereunder, by a Participant or the spouse of a Participant shall, in the sole discretion of the Committee (after consideration
of such facts as it deems pertinent), be grounds for terminating any rights of the Participant or Beneficiary to any portion of the Program benefits not previously paid.

(i) Interest. In the event any payment to a Participant under the Program is not paid within thirty (30) days after it is due and Participant notifies the Company and the Company fails to make such payment
(to the extent such payment is undisputed), such payment shall thereafter bear interest at the prime rate from time to time as published in The Wall Street Journal, Midwest Edition.

(j) No Obligation to Mitigate Damages. The Participants shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of amounts payable or
arrangements made under the provisions of the Program and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Companys obligations under the Program.

(k) Forum. Any suit brought under the Program shall be brought in the federal court for Tarrant County, Texas.

(l) Condition Precedent to Receipt of Payments or Benefits under the Program. A Terminated Participant will not be eligible to receive Severance
Benefits or any other payments or benefits under the Program until (i) such Terminated Participant executes a confidentiality, nonsolicitation and general release agreement (the Agreement) containing, among other items, a general
release of all claims arising out of said Participants employment with, and termination of employment from, the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (adjusted as necessary to conform to then existing legal
requirements); and (ii) the revocation period specified in the Agreement expires without such Terminated Participant exercising his/her right of revocation as set forth in the Agreement.



8



---

(m) Assumption by Successor to the Company. The Company shall cause any successor to its business
or assets to assume this Program and the obligations arising hereunder and to maintain this Program without modification or alteration for the period required herein.
