general assets. Participants and their designated Beneficiaries shall not have any interest in any specific asset of the Employer as a result of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action
taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship amongst any Employer, the Committee, and the Participants, their
designated Beneficiaries or any other person. Any fluids which may be invested by an Employer under the provisions of the Plan shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general hinds of the
applicable Employer and no person other than the applicable Employer shall by virtue of the provisions of the Plan have any interest in such hinds. With respect to any payments as to which a
Participant has a fixed and vested interest but which are not yet made to a Participant;by the applicable Employer, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater
than those of an unsecured general creditor of the applicable Employer. The Company shall establish a Trust intended to be a "rabbi trust" with the Trustee, pursuant to the terms and conditions as are
set forth in the Trust agreement to be entered into between the Company and the Trustee.

natural guardian of such minor; or (iii) to any other person, whether or not appointed guardian of the minor, who shall have the are and custody of such minor. The receipt by such individual
shall be a complete discharge of all liability under the Plan therefor. 

        13.7 Assignment. The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and the
Participants and their heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. In the event that the Company sells all or substantially all of the assets of its business, the acquiror of such
assets shall assume the obligations hereunder and the Company shall be released from any liability imposed herein and shall have no obligation to provide any benefits payable hereunder. 

        13.8 Top-Hat Status. The Plan is intended to constitute a "top-hat" pension plan under Sections
201(2) and 301(a)(3) of ERISA. To the extent necessary to comply with the top-hat requirements, the Committee may terminate an Eligible Employee as a Participant and may, in its sole
discretion, distribute his or her Account 

        13.9 Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by ERISA or other Federal law, the Plan shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable Texas principles of conflict of laws). 

        13.10  Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof; and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

were also used in the feminine gender in all cases where they would so apply, and wherever any words are used herein in the singular form they shall be construed as though they were also used in the
plural form in all cases where they would so apply. 

        13.12

Company may adopt, and become a Member Company under, the Plan for the benefit of its Eligible Employees. 

        14.2 Execution of Adoption Agreement. Any Associated Company may, with the written consent of the Board, become a Member
Company under the Plan by adopting the Plan as a Member Company by
resolution of its board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) or by executing an Adoption Agreement under which: 

        (a)  The
Member Company shall agree to be bound by all the provisions of the Plan in the manner set forth herein and any amendments thereto. 

        (b)  The
Member Company shall agree to pay its share of the contributions to, and expenses of, the Plan as they may be determined from time to time in the manner specified
herein. 

        (c)  The
Member Company shall agree to provide the Company, Committee and Trustee with full, complete, and timely information on all matters necessary to them in the
operation of the Plan. 

        14.3 Participation in the Plan.

        (a)  In
the event of the adoption of the Plan by an Associated Company, the Associated Company shall become a Member Company and all the terms and conditions of the Plan as
set forth hereunder shall apply to the participation under the Plan of such Associated Company and its employees in the manner as set forth herein for a Member Company and its employees;
notwithstanding the above, the following rights are specifically reserved to the Company: 

        (i)    The
right to designate a Member Company as set forth herein; 

        (ii)  The
right to appoint the members of the Committee, as set forth herein, is specifically reserved to the Company so long as the Company participates under the Plan;
provided that a Member Company may appoint an advisory committee of such composition and size as it may determine to advise the Committee on any matters affecting such Member Company or its employees
who are Participants under the Plan. The Committee shall be entitled to rely upon any information furnished it by the Member Company or its employees who are Participants under the Plan. The Committee
shall be entitled to rely upon any information furnished it by the Member Company appointing such advisory committee, but in no event shall the existence of such advisory committee modify or otherwise
limit any of the powers or duties of the Committee under the Plan; 

10

 

        (iii)  The
right to direct, appoint, remove, approve the accounts of, or otherwise deal with the Trustee, as set forth herein, is specifically reserved to the Company so long
as the Company participates under the Plan; 

        (iv)  The
right to amend the Plan, as set forth herein, is specifically reserved to the Company so long as the Company participates under the Plan; and any such amendment,
unless otherwise specified herein, shall be filly binding with respect to such participation by any Member Company; provided that this reservation shall in no event be construed to prevent any Member
Company from terminating at any time, in the manner set forth herein, its participation as a Member Company under the Plan. (b) In the operation of the Plan with respect to a Member Company,
the term "Effective Date" shall mean such date specified in such Member Company's Adoption Agreement. 

        (c)  A
Member Company may specify in such Member Company's Adoption Agreement or the applicable provisions for recognition of service, as applicable, for such Member Company
for eligibility, vesting and benefit purposes. 

        14.4 Termination by a Member Company. Any Member Company may, by action of its board of directors or board of trustees (or a
duly authorized committee thereof) in accordance with the by-laws of such Member Company, at any time elect to terminate its participation under the Plan in the manner set forth herein, or
any Member Company may elect at any time by appropriate amendment or action affecting only its own status hereunder to disassociate itself from this Plan but to continue the Plan as it pertains to
itself and its employees as an entity separate and distinct from this Plan. Termination of the participation of any Member Company, or disassociation, shall not affect the participation in the Plan of
any other Member Company nor terminate the Plan with respect to them and their employees; provided that, if the Company shall terminate its participation in the Plan, or disassociate itself, then each
remaining Member Company shall make such arrangements and take such action as may be necessary to assume the duties of the Company in providing for the operation and continued administration of the
Plan as the same pertains to the Member Company. 

        14.5 Member Company Plan Expenses. Each Member Company shall be liable for and shall pay at least annually to the Company its
fair share of the expenses of operating the Plan, including its share of any Trustee's fees. The amount of such charges to each Member Company shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion; provided that, except with respect to charges incurred solely on account of a particular Member Company, a Member Company shall not be charged for a greater portion of any expenses of Plan
operation than the ratio that the number of Members who are or were its employees bears to the total of all Members nor for a greater proportion of any Trustee's fees than the ratio that the portion
of the Accounts pertaining to Participants who are or were its Employees bears to the total value of all Accounts.

merger or consolidation; provided, however, at a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person (other than those covered

in Control of the Company; or 

        (d)  the
stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition of the Company of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of the Company at the time of the sale.
