7.4          Section 409A: Separation From Service; Delay of Payments .   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no payment or benefit shall be paid pursuant to Section 7 (including subparts) that would be considered “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), or the Treasury regulations or other guidance issued thereunder (“ Section 409A ”) until Executive has incurred a “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Section 409A).  Further, no payments contemplated by Section 7.2 of this Agreement will be paid during the six-month period following Executive’s Termination Date unless the Company determines that Executive is not a “specified employee” (as that term is defined under Section 409A), or if the Company determines that Executive is a “specified employee,” that paying such amounts would not cause the Executive to incur an additional tax under Section 409A.  The six-month delay described in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent (a) the amount of such payment, or any portion thereof, constitutes a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Section 409A, and (b) to the extent the amount of such payment does not constitute a “short-term deferral,” the amount of such payment, or any portion thereof, does not exceed two times the lesser of (i) the Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the Executive’s annual rate of pay for services provided to the Company for the taxable year of the Executive preceding the taxable year in which the Termination Date occurs (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely had no separation from service occurred), or (ii) the maximum amount of compensation that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which the Termination Date occurs.  If the payment of any amount under Section 7.2 is delayed as a result of this Section, on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the end of the six-month delay period, the Company will pay the Executive a single lump-sum amount in cash equal to the cumulative amounts that would have otherwise been previously paid to Executive under this Agreement during such six-month period, without interest.  Thereafter, payments will resume in accordance with this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section shall apply only to the minimum extent necessary, after application of Section 409A, to avoid the Executive’s incurrence of any additional taxes or

9

penalties under Section 409A.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be responsible for, or have any obligation to reimburse or pay (as damages or otherwise) any taxes or interest charges imposed on the Executive pursuant to Section 409A.  For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), each payment that Executive may be eligible to receive under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct payment and shall not collectively be treated as a single payment.

7.5          Limitation on Payments .   If any Severance Benefits or any other of the Total Severance Benefits (as defined in this Section) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “ Excise Tax ”), then Executive’s payments and benefits under Section 7.2 of this Agreement shall be either (i) paid in full, or (ii) paid as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such payments or benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income and payroll taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Total Severance Benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be subject to the Excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code, and further notwithstanding the fact that the Severance Benefits may be reduced to zero after the application of this Section.  For purposes of this Agreement, “ Total Severance Benefits ” means the severance payments and benefits under Section 7.2 of this Agreement and all other payments and benefits received or to be received by Executive under this Agreement and all payments and benefits (if any) to which Executive may be entitled under any plan, agreement or otherwise upon or as the result of a change of control or the termination of his employment with Company, or both.  This Section is not intended to prevent and shall not result in the prevention of the acceleration and full vesting of any outstanding stock option, restricted stock or stock appreciation right held by Executive if any such acceleration is provided for under the terms of the award or grant agreement related to such stock option, restricted stock or stock appreciation right.  Any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by Company’s independent public accountants (the “ Accountants ”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and Company for all purposes.  For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.  Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section.  Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section.

7.6          Position Resignations .   Upon cessation or termination of employment hereunder (unless Executive continues otherwise to be employed by Company or one of its Related Entities), Executive will resign or will be deemed to have resigned from any and all positions as an officer or director, or both, of Company and each of its Related Entities, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.  If for any reason this Section is deemed to be insufficient to effectuate such resignations, then Executive will, upon Company’s request, execute any documents or instruments that Company may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate such resignations.

10.8        Entire Agreement .   This Agreement and all other agreements specifically incorporated herein are intended by the Parties to be the final and complete expression of their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and are the complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions thereof, notwithstanding any representations, statements, or agreements to the contrary heretofore or simultaneously made.  This Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties.

20

10.9        Severability .   The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions hereof, but such remaining provisions will be construed and interpreted in such a manner as to carry out fully the intent of the Parties hereto; provided, however , that should any judicial or arbitral authority interpreting this Agreement deem any provision hereof to be unreasonably broad in time, territory, scope, or otherwise, it is the intent and desire of the Parties that such judicial or arbitral authority reduce the breadth of such provision to the maximum legally allowable parameters rather than deeming such provision totally unenforceable or invalid.  A determination that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid in one jurisdiction will not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision in another jurisdiction.

10.10      Waiver .   No waiver, termination, or discharge of this Agreement, or any of the terms or provisions hereof, will be binding upon either Party unless confirmed in writing.  No waiver by either Party of any term or provision of this Agreement or of any default hereunder will affect such Party’s right thereafter to enforce such term or provision or to exercise any right or remedy in the event of any other default, whether or not similar.

10.11      Interpretation .   Should a provision of this Agreement require judicial or arbitral interpretation, the judicial or arbitral authority interpreting or construing the Agreement will not apply the assumption that the terms hereof will be more strictly construed against one Party by reason of the rule of construction that an instrument is to be construed more strictly against the Party which itself or through its agents prepared this Agreement, it being agreed that both Parties and/or their attorneys and other agents have participated in the preparation of this Agreement equally.

10.12      Applicable Law .

(a)           Choice of Law .  All questions concerning the construction, validity, and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.  Should any provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any provision relating to compensation, be found to be in violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, the Parties will execute an amendment to this Agreement to bring such provision into compliance with any such law, rule or regulation, as the case may be.

(b)           EXCLUSIVE VENUE .  THE PARTIES CONSENT AND STIPULATE THAT THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING AND OF ANY OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING ANY COURT PROCEEDING, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS (the “ Agreed Venue ”).
