C.
    
    For the 24-month period following the termination of Executives employment with
the Company, the Company shall continue to provide Executive and Executives
eligible family members with medical and dental health benefits and disability
benefits coverage at least equal to those which would have been provided to
Executive if Executives employment had not been terminated or, if more favorable to
Executive, as in effect generally at any time during such period. The medical and
dental health benefits coverage shall be provided at full cost to the Executive
during the applicable period, and the disability benefits coverage shall be provided
based upon the cost sharing arrangement between the Company and similarly situated
active employees. The Company shall also provide Executive with a lump sum payment
within 15 days following the expiration of each of the four, sixth-month periods
following termination of Executives employment with the Company in such amount
that, after all taxes on that amount, shall be equal to the cost, reduced by the
cost sharing applicable to active employees, of providing Executive and Executives
eligible family members with medical and dental health benefits coverage during each
such preceding six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such benefits
coverage shall not continue beyond the first sixty days following termination of
Executives employment with the Company, and the lump sum payments shall not be
paid, unless Executive complies with the requirements of Section 12 hereof by
executing a general release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes
eligible to receive medical, dental and disability benefits under another employers
plans during the 24-month period following the date of termination of Executives
employment with the Company, the Companys obligations under this Section 4C shall
be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by Executive
during such period, and any such benefits actually received by Executive shall be
promptly reported by Executive to the Company. In the event Executive is ineligible
under the terms of the Companys health and other welfare benefit plans or programs
to continue to be so covered during the 24-month period following the date of
termination of Executives employment with the Company, the Company shall provide
Executive with substantially equivalent coverage through other sources or will
provide Executive with a lump sum payment within 15 days following the expiration of
each of the four, six-month periods following termination of Executives employment
with the Company in such amount that, after all taxes on that amount, shall be equal
to the cost of providing Executive and Executives eligible family members with the
medical and dental health benefits coverage during each such preceding six-month
period. Any lump sum shall be determined on a present value basis using the
interest rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code on the Date of
Termination.
 5.
    
    Change of Control Severance BenefitsSubject to Section 12, if either (a) Executive terminates his employment during the
Protected Period for a Good Reason event or (b) the Company terminates Executives
employment during the Protected Period other than for Cause, Executive shall receive, the
following compensation and benefits from the Company:

termination of Executives employment with the Company (during which time Executive

the Company shall pay to Executive in a lump sum, in cash, an amount equal to two
times the sum of Executives (i) Termination Base Salary and (ii) Target AICP.B.
    
    Notwithstanding anything in any Company stock plan or grant agreement to the
contrary, (i) all restricted shares and restricted stock units of Executive shall
become 100% vested and all restrictions thereon shall lapse as of the lapse of such
sixty-day period, and the Company shall promptly deliver such shares to Executive
and (ii) each then outstanding stock option of Executive shall become 100%
exercisable and, excluding any incentive stock option granted prior to the Effective
Date, shall remain exercisable for the remainder of such options term.C.
    
    Executive shall be fully vested in Executives accrued benefits under all
qualified pension, nonqualified pension, profit sharing, 401(k), deferred
compensation and supplemental plans maintained by the Company for Executives
benefit as of the lapse of such sixty-day period except to that the extent the
acceleration of vesting of such benefits would violate any applicable law or require
the Company to accelerate the vesting of the accrued benefits of all participants in
such plan or plans, in which event the Company shall pay Executive a lump sum
amount, in cash, within 15 days of the lapse of such sixty-day period, equal to the
present value of such unvested accrued benefits that cannot become vested under the
plan for the reasons provided above.D.
    
    For the 36-month period following the date of termination of Executives
employment with the Company, the Company shall continue to provide Executive and
Executives eligible family members with medical and dental health benefits and
disability benefits coverage at least equal to those which would have been provided
to Executive if Executives employment had not been terminated or, if more favorable
to Executive, as in effect generally at any time during such period. The medical
and dental health benefits coverage shall be provided at full cost to the Executive
during the applicable period, and the disability benefits coverage shall be provided
based upon the cost sharing arrangement between Executive and the Company on the
date of termination of Executives employment with the Company. The Company shall
also provide Executive with a lump sum payment within 15 days following the
expiration of each of the six, sixth-month periods following termination of
Executives employment with the Company in such amount that, after all taxes on that
amount, shall be equal to the full cost, reduced by the cost sharing applicable to
active employees, of providing Executive and Executives eligible family members
with medical and dental health benefits coverage during each such preceding
six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such benefits coverage shall not
continue beyond the first sixty days following termination of Executives employment
with the Company, and the lump sum payments shall not be paid, unless Executive
complies with the requirements of Section 12 hereof by executing a general release.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes eligible to receive medical,
dental and disability benefits under another employers plans during the 36-month
period following the date of termination of Executives employment with the Company,
the Companys obligations under this Section 5D shall be reduced to the extent
comparable benefits are actually received by Executive during such period, and any
such benefits actually received by Executive shall be promptly reported by Executive
to the Company. In the event Executive is ineligible under the terms of the
Companys health and other welfare benefit plans or programs to continue to be so
covered during the 36-month period following the date of termination of Executives
employment with the Company, the Company shall provide Executive with substantially
equivalent coverage through other sources or will provide Executive with a lump sum
payment within 15 days following the expiration of each of the six, six-month
periods following termination of Executives employment with the Company in such
amount that, after all taxes on that amount, shall be equal to the cost of providing
Executive and Executives eligible family members with medical and dental health
benefits coverage during each such preceding six-month period. Any lump sum shall
be determined on a present value basis using the interest rate provided in Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code on the Date of Termination.
 E.
    
    For the period beginning on the date of termination of Executives employment
with the Company and ending on December 31 of the second calendar year following the
calendar year which includes the date of termination, or until Executive accepts
other employment, including as an independent contractor, with a new employer,
Executive shall be entitled to receive outplacement services, payable by the
Company, with an aggregate cost not to exceed 15% of Executives Termination Base
Salary, with an executive outplacement service firm reasonably acceptable to the
Company and Executive.3.
    
    The following new Section 10A shall be added after Section 10:
 10A. Code Section 409A Restrictions.
 A.
    
    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if payment of any
amounts under this Agreement would be subject to additional taxes and interest under
Section 409A of the Code because the timing of such payments is not delayed as provided
in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, then any such
payments that Executive would otherwise be entitled to during the first six months
following the date of the Executives termination of employment with the Company shall
be accumulated and paid on the first business day that is six months after the date of
the Executives termination of employment with the Company, or such earlier date upon
which such payments can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without being subject to
such additional taxes and interest. If this Section becomes applicable such that any
payments are delayed, any payments that are so delayed shall accrue interest on a
non-compounded basis, from the date they would otherwise have been made absent such
delay to the actual date of payment, at the prime or base rate of

interest announced by
Wells Fargo Bank (or any successor thereto) at its principal
office in Houston, Texas on the date of such termination, which shall be paid in a
lump sum on the actual date of payment of the delayed payments.
 B.
    
    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if benefits to be
made available under this Agreement would be subject to additional taxes and interest
under Section 409A of the Code because the provision of such benefits is not delayed
for the first six months following the date of the Executives termination of
employment with the Company as provided in Section 409A(a)(2)B)(i) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder, such benefits shall not be delayed; however, the Executive
shall pay to the Company, at the time or times such benefits are provided, the fair
market value of such benefits, and the Company shall reimburse the Executive for any
such payments on the fifth business day following the expiration of such six-month
period.C.
    
    Executive hereby agrees to be bound by the Companys determination of its
specified employees (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code) in
accordance with any of the methods permitted under the regulations issued under Section
409A of the Code.4.
