twelve and a half percent (12.5%) of the Total Bonus Amount shall be payable within 60 days of the end of each fiscal quarter (for a total of up to 50% of the Total Bonus Amount), based on Executive’s achievement of quarterly objectives,
and up to fifty percent (50%) of the Total Bonus Amount shall be payable within 60 days after the end of the fiscal year, based on Executive’s achievement of annual objectives. For fiscal year 2006, the Total Bonus Amount shall be based on

 4.3 Fringe Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all benefit programs that the
Company establishes and makes available to its management employees. Executive will also be entitled to take fully paid vacation in accordance with Company policy, which shall be not less than three (3) weeks per calendar year, with no
forfeiture for unused vacation days. 
 4.4 Reimbursement of Expenses. Executive shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement for
reasonable expenses incurred or paid by Executive in connection with, or related to the performance of, Executive’s duties, responsibilities or services under this Agreement, upon presentation by Executive of documentation, expense statements,
vouchers and/or such other supporting information as the Company may reasonably request. 
 4.5 Equity. Upon the execution of this
Agreement, the Executive shall be granted options to purchase 37,910 shares of the common stock of Parent (the “Options”), which Options shall have an exercise price equal to the closing price of Parent’s common stock on the trading
day prior to issuance. The Options shall vest over a five-year period in equal amounts beginning on the first anniversary of the date of issuance, and shall vest immediately upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan referenced below). The
Options shall be subject, in all respects, to (i) the Alphatec Holdings, Inc. 2005 Employee, Director and Executive Stock Plan (the “Plan”), (ii) a Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement to be entered into by Holdings and the
Executive, and (iii) the Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of March 17, 2005 between Holdings and its stockholders, to which the Executive hereby agrees to be subject.

employment is terminated for Cause pursuant to Section 5.1 or at the election of the Executive pursuant to Section 5.3, the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement other than to pay to Executive the base salary and

 7. Non-disclosure and Non-competition. 
 7.1 Proprietary Information. 
 (a) Executive agrees that all information and know-how, whether or not
in writing, of a private, secret or confidential nature concerning the Company’s business or financial affairs (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. By way of illustration,
but not limitation, Proprietary Information may include inventions, products, processes, methods, techniques, formulas, compositions, compounds, projects, developments, plans, research data, clinical data, financial data, personnel data, computer
programs, and customer and supplier lists. Executive will not disclose any Proprietary Information to others outside the Company or use the same for any unauthorized purposes without written approval by an officer of the Company, either during or
after Executive’s employment, unless and until such Proprietary Information has become public knowledge without fault by Executive. 
 (b) Executive agrees that all files, letters, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches, drawings, laboratory notebooks, program listings, or other written, photographic, or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information,
whether created by Executive or others, which shall come into Executive’s custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company to be used by Executive only in the performance of Executive’s duties for the Company.

 (c) Executive agrees that Executive’s obligation not to disclose or use information, know-how and records of the types set forth in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above, also extends to such types of information, know-how, records and tangible property of subsidiaries and joint ventures of the Company, customers of the Company or suppliers to the Company or other third parties
who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to the Company or to Executive in the course of the Company’s business. 
 (d) Executive
agrees that all Creations (as herein defined) shall be the property of the Company. “Creations” shall mean all ideas, prospect and customer lists, inventions, research, plans for products or services, potential marketing and sales
relationships, business development strategies, marketing plans, designs, logos, branding, layouts, templates,

computer software (including, without limitation, source code), computer programs, original works of authorship, copyrightable expression, characters,
know-how, trade secrets, information, data, developments, discoveries, improvements, modifications, technology, methodologies, algorithms and designs, whether or not subject to patent or copyright protection, made, conceived, expressed, developed,
or actually or constructively reduced to practice by Executive solely or jointly with others to the extent relating to or otherwise in connection with Executive’s employment by the Company. Executive agrees to cooperate in all respects
regarding requests by the Company relating to the Company’s intellectual property rights in the Creations, whether such cooperation is required during or after the termination of the employment period. 
 7.2 Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation; Nondisparagement. 
 (a) During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, render services of a business, professional or commercial nature to any other person or entity that competes with
the Company’s business, whether for compensation or otherwise, or engage in any business activities competitive with the Company’s business, whether alone, as an Executive, as a partner, or as a shareholder (other than as the holder of not
more than one percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of a public company), officer or director of any corporation or other business entity, or as a trustee, fiduciary or in any other similar representative capacity of any
other entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the expenditure of reasonable amounts of time as a member of other companies’ Board of Directors shall not be deemed a breach of this if those activities do not materially interfere with the services
required under this Agreement. 
 (b) During Executive’s employment with the Company, and for a period of twelve (12) months
following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company: 
 (i) either individually or on behalf of or through any third party, directly or indirectly, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, for the purpose of competing with the Company or
any of its affiliates (the “Company Group”), any customer or patrons of the Company Group, or any prospective customers or patrons with respect to which the Company Group has made a sales presentation (or similar offering of the
Company’s products and services); 
 (ii) either individually or on behalf of or through any third party, directly or indirectly,
solicit, entice or persuade or attempt to solicit, entice or persuade any employee, agent, consultant or contractor of the Company Group to leave the service of the Company Group for any reason; or 
 (iii) either individually or on behalf of or through any third party, directly or indirectly, interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, the
relations between the Company Group and any vendor or supplier to the Company Group. 
 (c) During Executive’s employment with the
Company and at all times thereafter, Executive shall not make any statements that are professionally or personally 

  

 4 

 
disparaging about, or adverse to, the interests of the Company or any of its divisions, affiliates, subsidiaries or other related entities, or their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Company-Related Parties”), including, but not limited to, any statements that disparage any person, product, service, finances, financial condition,
capability or any other aspect of the business of any Company-Related Party, and that Executive will not engage in any conduct which could reasonably be expected to harm professionally or personally the reputation of any Company-Related Party.

 7.3 If any restriction set forth in this Section 7 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it
extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be
enforceable. 
 7.4 The restrictions contained in this Section 7 are necessary for the protection of the Proprietary Information and
goodwill of the Company and are considered by Executive to be reasonable for such purpose. Executive agrees that any breach of this Section 7 will cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any such
breach, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief. 
 8. Other Agreements. Executive represents that Executive’s performance of all the terms of this Agreement as an Executive of the Company does not and will not breach any (i) agreement to keep in
confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to Executive’s employment with the Company or (ii) agreement to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business
of any previous employer or any other party. 
 9. Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be deemed effective upon (a) a personal delivery, or (b) deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. 
 10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the agreements related to the Options constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
 11. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written
instrument executed by both the Company and Executive. 
 12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any corporation into which the Company may be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business, provided, however, that the obligations of
Executive are personal and shall not be assigned by Executive. The Company may assign this Agreement following the delivery of written notice to the Executive. 
 13. Miscellaneous. 
  

 5 

 13.1 No Waiver. No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other occasion. 

13.2 Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 13.3 Governing Law. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California.

against either party hereto, arising out of or relating to this Agreement. In any such action or proceeding brought in such courts, the parties hereto irrevocably (i) waive any objection or jurisdiction or venue, (ii) waive personal
service of the summons, complaint and other process and (iii) agree that service thereof may be made by certified or registered first-class mail directed to the party to be served.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 PUC DOCKET NO. 32289 
  

					
	 JOINT PETITION OF EL PASO
 ELECTRIC COMPANY AND
THE
 CITY OF EL PASO FOR APPROVAL
 OF FUEL-RELATED
PROVISIONS
 OF RATE AGREEMENT
	  	§
§
§
§
§	  	 PUBLIC UTILITY
 COMMISSION
 OF TEXAS

 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE OF TEXAS 
 AND EL PASO ELECTRIC COMPANY 
 The State of Texas (“State”), by and through the Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection and Public Health Division, Public Agency Representation Section (“OAG”), and El Paso Electric Company
(“EPE”), through its counsel, agree to the following terms in full settlement of the above-captioned proceeding. This settlement is a compromise of the positions either party would take in a fully litigated proceeding, and is not intended
to express either party’s agreement with any ratemaking principle. Except as may be necessary to carry out the terms of this settlement, this agreement of the parties may not be used in any other proceeding as an admission or a characterization
of the position of either party. 
 Terms of Settlement 
 1. The State agrees not to oppose the 2005 Rate Agreement between City of El Paso and EPE, and not to oppose the 2006 Stipulation among City, EPE, Border Steel and Public Utility Commission (“PUC”) Staff.
The State’s testimony and motion for partial summary decision are to be withdrawn, and no ruling on the State’s motion is required. The State’s notice of intent to disclose confidential data becomes moot. 
 2. On March 31, 2010, EPE will present to the PUC Staff, the State (by and through the OAG), OPC and the City of El Paso its cost and revenue data, in accordance with
the PUC’s earnings monitoring requirements, for the rate year ending on December 31, 2009. These parties 
  

 1 

 may conduct reasonable informal discovery seeking further information, and EPE will answer all such questions with
dispatch and in good faith. Within 30 days of EPE’s initial filing of earnings monitoring data, EPE, the Staff, the State, OPC and the City of El Paso shall decide whether a full base rate case is necessary. If any one of these parties notifies
the others, in writing, that it wants to conduct a base rate case, the Company will file such a case in the cities with original jurisdiction and with the PUC, on or before July 1, 2010. 
 3. EPE agrees that, no later than July 1, 2010, it will begin crediting 90% of off-system sales margins to reconcilable fuel, for the benefit of customers, and agrees to continue crediting 90% of off-system sales
margins to reconcilable fuel, at least through June 2015. 
 4. EPE agrees that, no later than July 1, 2010, it will begin treating its wheeling expenses and
revenues associated with non-native load in accordance with then-existing PUC Rules and other substantive and procedural law. 
 5. Within 45 days of this
agreement being adopted by the PUC, EPE will enter into good faith negotiations with UTEP regarding its existing supply contract(s). 
 6. EPE and the State,
by and through the OAG, agree that paragraphs 3 and 4, above, shall be incorporated in the Commission’s final Order in this proceeding as findings of fact, solely for the purpose of memorializing that these two parties have agreed upon these
matters. Neither the Commission nor its Staff shall be bound by EPE’s and the State’s agreement with respect to the proper treatment of off-system sales margins. If the Commission enters an order in this proceeding that is materially
inconsistent with this Settlement Agreement, then the State or EPE may withdraw from the Agreement. If either party withdraws pursuant to this term, it shall not be deemed to have waived any procedural right or taken any substantive position on any
fact or 
  

 2 

 issue by virtue of its entry into the Agreement or its subsequent withdrawal, and the withdrawing party reserves the
right to litigate the fuel-related provisions of the 2005 Rate Agreement.
