	6.	Additional Benefits. 

  

	 	A.	Health, Dental, Disability and Life Insurance Benefits. Throughout the term of the Severance Payout Period for a termination of Executive’s employment
covered by Section 4, or of the Change of Control Payout Period for a termination of Executive’s employment covered by Section 5, the Company shall provide Executive and Executive’s eligible family members, based on the cost
sharing arrangement in effect between Executive (or persons of similar position) and the Company on the Date of Termination, with medical and dental health insurance benefits and disability and life insurance coverage at least equal to those in
effect for Executive or persons of similar position on the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to Executive, as in effect generally at any time during such Severance Payout Period or Change of Control Payout Period, as applicable.


 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes re-employed and is eligible to receive medical or dental
health insurance benefits or disability insurance coverage under such successor employer’s plans, the Company’s obligations under this Section 6(A) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by Executive
during the Severance Payout Period or Change of Control Payout Period, as applicable, and any such benefits actually received by Executive shall be promptly reported by Executive to the Company. For the sake of clarity, Executive shall be entitled
to all of the insurance benefits provided by this Section 6(A), and such benefits shall not be mitigated, in the event that as of the Date of Termination or at any time during the Severance Payout Period or Change of Control Payout Period, as
applicable, Executive is receiving medical, dental, health, disability or life insurance benefits through the plans or obligations of a former employer. 
 In the event Executive is ineligible under the terms of the Company’s benefit plans or programs to be so covered as required by this Section 6(A), the Company shall provide Executive with
substantially equivalent insurance coverage through the conversion to individual insurance coverage or other sources. Any benefits provided under this Section 6(A) shall be provided through insurance maintained by the Company under the Company
benefit plans and in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5). 
 In the event that the
Company is unable to provide the benefits required under this Section 6(A) through insurance coverage as described above, the Company will provide Executive with a lump sum cash payment equal to: (i) the monthly cost to the Company of
providing Executive (or persons of similar position) and Executive’s dependents with such benefits coverage, determined as of the Date of Termination, multiplied by (ii) the number of months comprising the Severance Payout Period or the
Change of Control Payout Period, as applicable. In addition, if such lump sum payment is payable, the Company shall make an additional gross-up payment to Executive in an amount such that the net amount of the lump sum payment and such additional
gross-up payment retained by Executive, after 

  
 8 








 
the calculation and deduction of all federal, state and local income tax and employment tax on such lump sum payment and additional gross-up payment, and taking into account any lost or reduced
tax deductions on account of such gross-up payment, shall be equal to such lump sum payment. 
 Any lump sum cash payment and
related gross-up payment required by this Section 6(A) shall be paid on such date determined by the Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the 60th day following the date of Executive’s Separation from Service. Pursuant
to Section 5(H), in the event Executive has an Involuntary Termination described in Section 4 hereof, and a Change of Control occurs within the six (6) month period commencing on the date of such Involuntary Termination, then
Executive shall be entitled to receive the benefits described in this Section 6(A) as if such Involuntary Termination had occurred within two (2) years following the Change of Control and determined by reference to the Change of Control
Payout Period. The benefits that are to be paid pursuant to this Section 6(A) in the event of a Change of Control following Executive’s Involuntary Termination shall be reduced by any payment or benefits previously paid under this
Section 6(A) in connection with Executive’s Involuntary Termination, and shall be paid on such date determined by the Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the later of: (i) the 60th day following the date of
Executive’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the date of the Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6(A) to the contrary, if Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Separation from Service, any lump
sum cash payment and related gross-up payment made under this Section 6(A) shall be paid as provided in Section 15(C) hereof. Any additional gross-up payment required under this Section 6(A) shall be paid in a manner that complies
with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v). 
  

	 	B.	 Automobile Allowance Benefit. The Company shall provide Executive with a lump sum cash payment, in lieu of an automobile allowance, equal to
Executive’s monthly car allowance in effect on the date of the Date of Termination, multiplied by the number of months comprising the Severance Payout Period or Change of Control Payout Period, as applicable. The lump sum cash payment required
by this Section 6(B) shall be paid on such date determined by the Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the 60th day following the date of Executive’s Separation from Service. Pursuant to Section 5(H), in the event
Executive has an Involuntary Termination described in Section 4 hereof, and a Change of Control occurs within the six (6) month period commencing on the date of such Involuntary Termination, then Executive shall be entitled to receive the
benefits described in this Section 6(B) as if such Involuntary Termination had occurred within two (2) years following the Change of Control and determined by reference to the Change of Control Payout Period. The benefits that are to be
paid pursuant to this Section 6(B) in the event of a Change of Control following Executive’s Involuntary Termination shall be reduced by any payment or benefits previously paid under this Section 6(B) in connection with
Executive’s Involuntary Termination, and shall be paid on such date determined by the 



  
 9 









	 	
Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the later of: (i) the 60th day following the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the date of the Change
of Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6(B) to the contrary, if Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Separation from Service, any payment made under this Section 6(B) shall be paid as provided in
Section 15(C) hereof. 

  

	7.	Accelerated Vesting of Certain Equity Awards Upon a Change of Control. 

 Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any of the Option Plans, upon a Change of Control: (i) all outstanding unvested stock options of Executive shall be and become fully vested and
exercisable as to all shares of stock covered thereby, and (ii) all outstanding shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units of Executive shall be and become 100% vested and all restrictions
thereon shall lapse, in each case as of the Change of Control. 
  

	8.	Excise Taxes and Gross-Up Payments. 

  

	 	A.	If any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive in connection with a Change of Control of the Company or Executive’s Separation from Service
(whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, a stock option plan or any other plan or arrangement with the Company) (the “Total Payments”) will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, (the
“Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company an additional payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that the net amount of the Total Payments and the Gross-Up Payment retained by Executive
after the calculation and deduction of all Excise Taxes on the Total Payments and all federal, state and local income tax, employment tax and Excise Tax on the Gross-Up Payments provided for in this Section 8, and taking into account any lost
or reduced tax deductions on account of the Gross-Up Payments, shall be equal to the Total Payments. 

  

	 	B.	All determinations required to be made under this Section 8, including whether and when the Gross-Up Payments are required and the amount of such Gross-Up
Payments, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations (consistent with the provisions of this Section 8), shall be made by the Company’s independent certified public accountants (the “Accountants”). The
Accountants shall provide Executive and the Company with detailed supporting calculations with respect to such Gross-Up Payments within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from Executive or the Company that Executive has
received or will receive a Total Payments. In the event that the Accountants are also serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized public
accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accountants hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne solely by the Company. All determinations by the
Accountants shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. 


  
 10 










	 	C.	For the purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, such Total Payments will be
treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as
subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that in the opinion of the Accountants such payment (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments” or represent reasonable compensation for services actually
rendered (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code) in excess of the “base amount” or such “parachute payments” are otherwise not subject to such Excise Tax. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up
Payments, Executive shall be considered to pay federal income taxes at the applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payments are to be made and to pay any applicable state and local income taxes
at the applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payments are to be made, net of Executive’s actual reduction in federal income taxes that could be obtained from the deduction of such state or local taxes
if paid if such year (determined without regard to limitations on deductions based upon the amount of Executive’s adjusted gross income); and to have otherwise allowable deductions for federal, state and local income tax purposes at least equal
to those disallowed because of the inclusion of the Gross-Up Payments in Executive’s adjusted gross income. 

  

	 	D.	To the extent practicable, any Gross-Up Payments shall be paid by the Company at the time Executive is entitled to receive the Total Payments and in no event will any
Gross-Up Payments be paid later than thirty (30) days after the receipt by Executive of the Accountant’s determination, subject to Sections 8(F) and (G) hereof. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the
Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accountants hereunder, it is possible that the Gross-Up Payments made will have been an amount less than the Company should have paid pursuant to this Section 8 (the
“Underpayment”). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 8 and Executive is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for
Executive’s benefit. 

  

	 	E.	 Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the
Company of the Gross-Up Payments. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to
be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following the date on which Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of




  
 11 










	 	
taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Corporation notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period that it desires to contest such claim,
Executive shall: 

  

	 	(i)	give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim; 


 

	 	(ii)	take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting
legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company; 

  

	 	(iii)	cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and 


 

	 	(iv)	permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claims; 

 provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify Executive for, advance expenses to Executive for, defend
Executive against and hold Executive harmless from, on an after-tax basis, any Excise Tax or income tax imposed as a result of such representation and payment of all related costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 8, the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in
respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any
administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall
advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify Executive for, advance expenses to Executive for, defend Executive against and hold Executive harmless from, on an after-tax basis, any Excise Tax or
income tax imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance (including as a result of any forgiveness by the Company of such advance); provided, further, that any extension of the statute of
limitations relating to the payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall
be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payments would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.


  
 12 










	 	F.	The Gross-Up Payments, and any payments of income or other taxes to be paid by the Company under this Section 8, shall be paid by the Company by the end of
Executive’s taxable year next following the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive remits the related taxes, subject to Section 8(G) hereof. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of Executive under this
Section 8 due to any tax contest, audit or litigation shall be paid by the Company by the end of Executive’s taxable year following Executive’s taxable year in which the taxes that are the subject of the tax contest, audit or

any statute.

submit to, and be bound by, such arbitration. 
  

	 	A.	The Company will, within ten (10) business days of the Notice, appoint a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will set the rules and timing of the arbitration, but
will generally follow the rules of the American Arbitration Association and this Agreement where same are applicable and shall provide for written fact findings. 


 

	 	B.	The arbitration hearing will in no event take place more than ninety (90) days after the appointment of the arbitrator. 


 

	 	C.	The arbitration will take place in Houston, Texas unless otherwise unanimously agreed to by the parties. 


 

	 	D.	The results of the arbitration and the decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding on the parties and each party agrees and acknowledges that these results
shall be enforceable in a court of law. 

  

	14.	Governing Law. 

 This Agreement will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of Texas. 
  

	15.	Compliance With Code Section 409A. 

  

	 	A.	Compliance with Section 409A. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Section 409A Payments) are
intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A. To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to
Section 409A, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. As provided in Internal Revenue
Notice 2007-86, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to an election or amendment to change a time or form of payment under this Agreement made on or after January 1, 2008 and on or before December 31, 2008,
the election or amendment shall apply only with respect to payments that would not otherwise be payable in 2008, and shall not cause payments to be made in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in 2008. 


  
 15 










	 	B.	Amendment of Agreement to Comply with Section 409A. If the Company and Executive determine that any compensation, benefits or other payments that are
payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) do not comply with Section 409A, the Company and Executive agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Company and
Executive deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, while preserving the economic agreement of the parties. In the case of any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this
Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4), if any provision of the Agreement would cause such compensation, benefits or other payments to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null
and void with respect to such compensation, benefits or other payments, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. 

  

	 	C.	Delayed Distribution under Section 409A. If Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, the Section 409A
Payments and any other payments or benefits under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and such payments or benefits shall be paid or
distributed to Executive during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Executive’s
death. Upon the expiration of the applicable six-month period under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 15(C) shall be paid in a lump sum payment to Executive (or Executive’s estate, in the event
of Executive’s death). Any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

Company’s or any such affiliates’ business affairs, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents or representatives, or (c) place Company, any of its affiliates, or any of Company’s or any such affiliates’ directors,
officers, employees, consultants, agents or representatives in a false light before the public. A violation or threatened violation of this prohibition may be enjoined by the courts. The rights afforded Company and its affiliates under this

representative capacity, to create, commence or otherwise initiate, or to develop, enhance or otherwise further, any business or activity if Executive knows or reasonably should know that such business or activity, directly or indirectly competes in
any material manner with the Business. For purposes of this Section 16(C), the term “Business” shall refer to the business of the Company as presently conducted or as conducted on the Date of Termination. 


 

	 	D.	General Release. As an additional inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, and as a condition to payment and provision of benefits under this
Agreement to Executive or Executive’s estate, Executive agrees that Executive (or Executive’s trust or estate, as applicable) shall execute and deliver within fifty (50) days following the date of Executive’s Separation from
Service, and not revoke within any revocation period required by law, a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its employees, directors, agents and affiliates in a form acceptable to the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.

	17.	Cooperation. 

 During
Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter; Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company and its agents, accountants and attorneys concerning any matter with which Executive was involved during his employment. Such cooperation
shall include, but not be limited to, providing information to, meeting with and reviewing documents provided by the Company and its agents, accountants and attorneys during normal business hours or other mutually agreeable hours upon reasonable
notice and to make himself available for depositions and hearings, if necessary and upon reasonable notice. If Executive’s cooperation is required after the termination of Executive’s employment, the Company shall reimburse Executive for
any reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in performing his obligations hereunder. 
  

	18.	Entire Agreement; No Oral Modifications. 

 This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements,
