	 	(a)	 	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the
Company shall credit to a separate account maintained on the books of
the Company (“Account”) a number of units equal to the number of Unit
Shares. On any date, the value of each Unit Share shall equal the Fair
Market Value of a Share.
	 
	 	(b)	 	(i) The interest of Awardee in the Unit Shares will vest, if at all,
in one or more installments for a portion of the Unit Shares (“Vested
Shares”) on the dates, or upon satisfaction of the conditions, specified
as the “Vesting Schedule” in the Unit Certificate.





	 	(ii)	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(b)(i) and subject
to Section 2(b)(iv), upon the occurrence of a Change of Control that
occurs before the Severance Date, all of the Unit Shares scheduled to
vest on or after the Change of Control shall vest.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	[Awardee may by written notice to the Company delivered at any
time after March     , 2012, during which Awardee is not in material
breach of any obligation of the Company or its Affiliates and before
the Severance Date, effective immediately upon delivery of such
notice commence Retirement. Upon delivery of such notice, the
Company will cause all of the then unvested Unit Shares to continue

will cease immediately at the time Awardee’s Retirement ceases.]1
	 
	 	(iv)	 	No installment of Unit Shares will become vested under this
Section 2(b) after any date, or upon satisfaction of any condition
after any date, after the Awardee’s Severance Date, except as

	 	(v)	 	If any of the conditions specified in the Vesting Schedule are
not satisfied, the portion of the Award Shares subject to such
condition shall not vest and will be forfeited.





	 	(c)	 	The Company shall issue to Awardee one or more certificates
representing the number of Shares equal to the number of Vested Shares
that have not previously been issued to Awardee within 10 business days
after the applicable vesting date, provided that if, at least 365 days
before such vesting date, Awardee gives written notice to the Company of
his or her irrevocable election to defer the issuance of Vested Shares,
the Company shall not issue such certificates until the earlier of (i)
the date specified by Awardee in such notice, (ii) the seventh
anniversary of the Award Date, or (iii) Awardee’s Severance Date.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Without the Company’s prior written consent, Awardee shall not sell,
assign, give, exchange, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer, more
than one-half of the number of (i) Vested Shares issued to Awardee on a
particular date, minus (ii) the number of Shares equal to (A) the
federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to
be paid by Awardee in connection with the issuance of such Vested
Shares, determined on the basis of the marginal tax rate applicable to
Awardee’s regular salary or wages from his or her Employer, divided by
(B) the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date such Vested Shares were
issued to Awardee, unless he or she is in compliance with the
Committee’s Common Stock ownership requirements for Participants. The
certificates representing 30% of the number of Vested Shares shall bear
a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, prohibiting
the sale of such Vested Shares until the earlier of (i) the date Awardee
demonstrates to the Administrator’s reasonable satisfaction that he or
she is in compliance with the Committee’s Common Stock ownership
requirements for Participants, or (ii) 90 days after Awardee’s Severance

with the procedures established by the Administrator from time to time,
full payment for all federal, state and local income, employment and
other taxes required to be withheld by the Company or the Employer in
connection with the issuance of such certificates. Awardee will bear
all risks and all costs and expenses associated with any delay in
receiving such certificates. The Administrator shall determine the
acceptable form of consideration for the payment of such taxes which
shall include cash, checks and wire transfers (denominated in U.S.
Dollars or other currency the Administrator determines is acceptable),
and may, but

	 	 	 	are not required to, include (i) Shares which have been owned by the
Participant for more than six months on the date of surrender, and have a
Fair Market Value on the date of surrender not less than the applicable
taxes, (ii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or (iii)
such other consideration and method of payment permitted by Applicable
Laws.
	 
	 	(f)	 	If on any date the Company shall pay any dividend on Common Stock
(other than a dividend payable in Common Stock), the number of Unit
Shares credited to the Account shall as of such date be increased by a
number equal to: (a) the product of the number of Unit Shares credited
to the Account which represent unissued Vested Shares as of the record
date for such dividend, multiplied by the per share amount of any
dividend (or, in the case of any dividend payable in property other than
cash, the per share value of such dividend, as determined in good faith
by the Committee), divided by (b) the Fair Market Value of a Share on
the payment date of such dividend. In the case of any dividend declared
on Common Stock which is payable in Common Stock, the number of Unit
Shares credited to the Account shall as of such date be increased,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15(a) of the Plan, by a number
equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Unit Shares credited
to the Account which represent unissued Vested Shares as of the record
date for such dividend, multiplied by (y) the number of Shares
(including any fraction thereof) payable as a dividend on a Share. Unit
Shares representing dividends (including fractional shares) shall vest,
if at all, on the same date the related non-dividend Unit Shares vest.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Notwithstanding Section 11(f) of the Plan, Awardee shall have no
rights equivalent to those of a stockholder, and shall not be a
stockholder upon his or her acceptance of this Stock Award, with respect
to any Unit Shares, whether or not they are Vested Shares. Such rights
shall arise only upon issuance of Vested Shares in accordance with
Section 2(c).





	3.	 	Restrictions on Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, successors, and assigns. This Stock Award may
not be sold, assigned, given, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise transferred by Awardee except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or with the written consent (executed in ink on paper) of the
Administrator. The certificates described in Section 2(c) above may be
issued only to (i) Awardee, (ii) the executor or administrator of
Awardee’s estate (or, if Awardee has designated a beneficiary in
accordance with Section 17 of the Plan, such beneficiary) following his or
her death, or (iii) the guardian of Awardee’s property if one is appointed
by reason of Awardee’s Total Disability. The Company is not obligated to
recognize any purported sale, assignment, gift, exchange, pledge,
hypothecation or other transfer, in violation of this Section 3 and,
unless it elects to do otherwise, may treat any such purported exercise,
sale, assignment, gift, exchange, pledge, hypothecation or transfer as
null, void, and of no effect.
	 
	4.	 	No Guarantee of Continued Employment. Awardee acknowledges and agrees
that this Award Agreement and the transactions it contemplates do not
constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment by the
Company or his or her Employer for any period or at all and shall not
interfere with Awardee’s right or the Company’s or the Employer’s right to
terminate Awardee’s employment relationship at any time, with or without
cause. Awardee further acknowledges and agrees that this Award, and
Awardee’s right to receive Shares, will terminate in accordance with the
terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan if Awardee ceases to provide
services to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as an employee
or consultant.
	 
	5.	 	Communications.

government mail of the country of the sender in an envelope with proper

	6.	 	Disputes and Governing Law.





	 	(a)	 	This Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the substantive law of the state of Delaware, without regard to the
choice of law rules in such state. Any dispute, controversy, or
question arising under this Agreement shall be referred for decision by
arbitration in Dallas County, Texas by a neutral arbitrator selected by
the parties hereto. The proceedings shall be governed by the Rules of
the American Arbitration Association then in effect or such rules last
in effect (in the event Association is no longer in existence). If the
parties are unable to agree upon such a neutral arbitrator within thirty
(30) days after one party has given the other written notice of the
desire to submit the dispute, controversy or question for decision as
aforesaid, then either party may apply to the American Arbitration
Association for an appointment of a neutral arbitrator or if such
Association is not then in existence or does not act in the matter
within thirty (30) days of application, either party may apply to the
courts of the State of Texas for an appointment of a neutral arbitrator
to hear the parties and settle the dispute, controversy or question and
such judge is hereby authorized to make such appointment. The decision
of the neutral arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on all
interested persons and no action at law or equity shall be instituted,
or if instituted, further prosecuted by either party other than to
enforce the award of the neutral arbitrator. The award of the neutral
arbitrator may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Neither
party will be liable to the other for punitive damages for any such
claims, and Awardee hereby waives any claims against Company for such
damages. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority
to award reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party
in any proceeding under this Section 6(a).
	 
	 	(b)	 	If any legal proceeding is brought to enforce or interpret the terms
of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs, and necessary disbursements in addition to any
other relief to which that party may be entitled.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable
for any reason, the validity and enforceability of all other provisions
of this Agreement will not be affected. The section headings used
herein are for reference and convenience only and do not affect the
interpretation of this Agreement. This Award Agreement (including the
Unit Certificate), together with the Plan, constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and may
be waived or modified only in writing.





	 	7.	 	Non-Competition and Non-Disclosure. Awardee acknowledges that: (i) in
the course and as a result of employment with the Company or the Employer,
Awardee will obtain special training and knowledge and will come in
contact with the Company’s or the Employer’s current and potential
customers, which training, knowledge, and contacts would provide
invaluable benefits to competitors of the Company and the Employer; (ii)
the Company and the Employer are continuously developing or receiving
Confidential Information, and that during Awardee’s employment he or she
will receive Confidential Information from the Company, the Employer, and
their respective customers and suppliers and special training related to
the Company’s and the Employer’s business methodologies; and (iii)
Awardee’s employment by the Employer creates a relationship of trust that
extends to all Confidential Information that becomes known to Awardee.
Accordingly, and in consideration of this Award, Awardee agrees that the
Company and the Employer will be entitled to terminate all rights to
exercise the Award and to exercise the rights specified in Section 8 below
if Participant does any of the following without the prior written consent

find reasonable and enforceable. For purposes of this Section 7, the term

discretion, that Awardee’s employment by the Company or any of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries terminated or, if the relevant facts been
