(ii) In addition, if Employee signs a Severance Agreement and General Release of claims in a form satisfactory to Company (the “Release”) and Employee does not revoke such Release within any time period revocation is permitted by the Release’s terms:

(1) Company will pay Employee, in periodic payments in accordance with ordinary payroll practices and deductions, Employee’s current Base Salary for twelve (12) months (such period, the “Company Termination Severance Pay Period” and such payments, the “Company Termination Severance Payments”).

(2) Employee shall remain eligible for a pro-rata portion of the Annual Bonus for the year in which such termination occurs, calculated based upon actual performance and pro-rated to reflect Employee’s period of employment during the performance period through the date of termination; provided further that calculation and payment of the bonus, if any, will be made pursuant to the plan in effect during the termination year.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any equity award agreements between the Company and Employee (except in circumstances where treatment more favorable to Employee is provided in any such equity award agreement), (x) any unvested time-vesting equity awards which are scheduled to vest within the twelve (12) month period following the date of termination shall vest in full on the date of termination pursuant to this Section 9(d); and (y) any outstanding and unvested performance stock units will vest as follows: (i) one-third (1/3) of the target number of shares underlying the performance stock units are eligible to vest if the date of termination is before the date which is two (2) years prior to the Vesting Date (as defined in the applicable award agreement), (ii) two-thirds (2/3) of the target number of shares underlying the performance stock units are eligible to vest if the date of termination is on or after the date which is two (2) years prior to the Vesting Date but before the date which is one (1) year prior to the Vesting Date, and (iii) one hundred percent (100%) of the target number of shares underlying the performance stock units are eligible to vest if the date of termination is on or after the date which is one (1) year prior to the Vesting Date. The portion of the performance stock units eligible to vest pursuant to this Section 9(d) will remain outstanding and eligible to be earned at the end of the applicable performance period based on the relative total shareholder return performance (or other applicable performance metric) as outlined in the applicable award agreement and, if earned, will then be distributed to Employee within sixty (60) days. The Release shall be provided to Employee on or before Employee’s termination date and must be executed by

Employee and irrevocable by the sixtieth (60th) day following the termination date. The payments and benefits described above shall be provided to Employee (or shall begin to be provided to Employee, as applicable) no later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date following the date that the Release is effective and irrevocable, subject to Section 17 below; provided, however, in the event that the period in which Employee has to review and execute the Release begins in one tax year and ends in a later tax year, the payments and benefits described above shall be provided to Employee (or shall begin to be provided to Employee, as applicable) in the later tax year.

The foregoing shall not affect Company’s right to enforce the Non-Compete Period pursuant to Section 7. Employee acknowledges that each individual Severance Payment received is adequate and independent consideration to support Employee’s Release, as each is something of value to which Employee would not have otherwise been entitled at termination had Employee not executed a Release and such Release had not become irrevocable.

(ii) If Employee is rehired by Company during any Severance Pay Period, Severance Payments shall cease; however, if Employee’s new Base Salary is less than Employee’s previous Base Salary, Company shall pay Employee the difference between Employee’s previous and new Base Salary for the remainder of the Severance Pay Period.

Employee agrees not to incorporate any intellectual property created by Employee prior to Employee’s employment, or created by any third party, into any Company work product.

(b) The terms of this Section 10 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Employee shall indemnify Company for claims of any type concerning Employee’s conduct outside the scope of employment, subject to any limitations under applicable law and the Company’s governance documents, or the breach by Employee of this Agreement.

15. Dispute Resolution

(a) Arbitration. This Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. and evidences a transaction involving commerce. This Dispute Resolution Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) applies to any dispute arising out of or related to Employee’s employment with Company or termination of employment. Nothing contained in this Arbitration Agreement shall be construed to prevent or excuse Employee from using the Company’s existing internal procedures for resolution of complaints, and this Arbitration Agreement is not intended to be a substitute for the use of such procedures. Except as it otherwise provides, this Arbitration Agreement is intended to apply to the resolution of disputes that otherwise would be resolved in a court of law, and therefore requires all such disputes to be resolved only by an arbitrator through final and binding arbitration and not by way of court or jury trial. Such disputes include without limitation disputes between Employee and Company arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability or validity of the Agreement or any portion of the Agreement. The Arbitration Agreement also applies, without limitation, to disputes between Employee and Company regarding the employment relationship, trade secrets, unfair competition, compensation, breaks and rest periods, termination, or harassment and claims arising under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, and state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters, and all other state statutory and common law claims.

(b) The following claims are excluded from this Arbitration Agreement: workers compensation, state disability insurance, unemployment insurance claims, and claims for benefits under employee benefit plans covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act that contain an appeal procedure or other exclusive and/or binding dispute resolution procedure in the respective plan. Disputes that may not be subject to pre-dispute arbitration agreements as provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Public Law 111-203) are also excluded from the coverage of this Arbitration Agreement. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents Employee from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with a government agency, including without limitation the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents the investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement also does not prevent federal administrative agencies from adjudicating claims and awarding remedies based on those claims, even if the claims would otherwise be covered by this Arbitration Agreement. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. The Company will not retaliate against Employee for filing a claim with an administrative agency or for exercising rights (individually or in concert with others) under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.

(c) An arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Company and the Employee. Unless the Employee and Company mutually agree otherwise, the Arbitrator shall be an attorney licensed to practice in the location where the arbitration proceeding will be conducted or a retired federal or state judicial officer who presided in the jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted. If for any reason the parties cannot agree to an Arbitrator, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction with authority over the location where the arbitration will be conducted for appointment of a neutral Arbitrator. The court shall then appoint an Arbitrator, who shall act under this Arbitration Agreement with the same force and effect as if the parties had selected the Arbitrator by mutual agreement. The location of the arbitration proceeding shall be no more than forty-five (45) miles from the place where the Employee last worked for the Company, unless each party to the arbitration agrees in writing otherwise.

(d) A demand for arbitration must be in writing and delivered by hand or first class mail to the other party within the applicable statute of limitations period. Any demand for arbitration made to the Company shall be provided to the Company’s Legal Department, 4830 North Loop 1604 West, Suite 111, San Antonio, Texas 78249. The Arbitrator shall resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration.

(e) In arbitration, the parties will have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery, bring dispositive motions, and present witnesses and evidence as needed to present their cases and defenses, and any disputes in this regard shall be resolved by the Arbitrator. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shall govern any depositions or discovery efforts, and the arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure when resolving any discovery disputes.

(f) Class Action Waiver. In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of employment with, or otherwise relating to Employee’s relationship with Company, claims may only be brought by Employee or by Company in the Employee’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or other joint proceeding. In that regard, Employee specifically agrees not to file, initiate directly or indirectly, join or participate in any class, collective, or other representative proceeding against Company and its respective directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees. If a class, collective, or other representative proceeding is filed purporting to include Employee, Employee shall promptly take all steps to refrain from opting in or to opt-out and will otherwise exclude Employee from the proceeding, as applicable. Claims covered by this waiver may not be joined or consolidated with claims of other individuals without the consent of both Company and Employee. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, the preceding Class Action Waiver shall not be severable from this Arbitration Agreement in any case in which the dispute to be arbitrated is brought as a class, collective or representative action. Although an Employee will not be retaliated against, disciplined or threatened with discipline as a result of Employee’s exercising rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act by the filing of or participation in a class, collective or representative action in any forum, the Company may lawfully seek enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and the Class Action Waiver under the Federal Arbitration Act and seek dismissal of such class, collective or representative actions or claims. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Arbitration Agreement, any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver Is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

(g) Each party will pay the fees for its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. However, in all cases where required by law, the Company will pay the Arbitrator’s and arbitration fees. If under applicable law the Company is not required to pay all of the Arbitrator’s and/or arbitration fees, such fee(s) will be apportioned between the parties by the Arbitrator in accordance with applicable law.

(h) Within thirty (30) days of the close of the arbitration hearing, any party will have the right to prepare, serve on the other party and file with the Arbitrator a brief. The Arbitrator may award any party any remedy to which that party is entitled under applicable law, but such remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in a court of law for the claims presented to and decided by the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing, stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may be permitted or required by law, neither a party nor an Arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter a judgment upon the award made pursuant to the arbitration.

(i) Injunctive Relief. A party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy, but only upon the ground that the award to which that party may be entitled to may be rendered ineffectual without such provisional relief.

(j) This Section 15 is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of employment-related disputes. In the event any portion of this Section 15 is deemed unenforceable and except as set forth in Section 15(f), the remainder of this Agreement will be enforceable.

(k) This Section 15 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance payments or benefits to be paid or provided to Employee, if any, under this Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or provided until Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable to Employee, if any, under this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) of the Treasury Regulations will be payable until Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations.

(b) It is intended that none of the severance payments or benefits under this Agreement will constitute Deferred Payments but rather will be exempt from Section 409A as a payment that would fall within the “short-term deferral period” as described in paragraph (d) below or resulting from an involuntary separation from service as described in paragraph (e) below. In no event will Employee have discretion to determine the taxable year of payment of any Deferred Payment or payment made upon a separation from service. Any severance payments or benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement will be payable as provided in Section 9(d).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Employee’s separation from service (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments, if any, that are payable within the first six (6) months following Employee’s separation from service, will become payable on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Employee’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of Employee’s death following Employee’s separation from service, but before the six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Employee’s death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment under Section 1.409A-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations.

(d) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of paragraph (a) above.

(e) Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of paragraph (a) above.

(f) The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the payments and benefits to be provided under the Agreement will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply or be exempt. Company and Employee agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition before actual payment to Employee under Section 409A. In no event will Company reimburse Employee for any taxes that may be imposed on Employee as a result of Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Employee’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Employee during Company’s taxable year preceding Company’s taxable year of Employee’s termination of employment as determined under Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) of the Treasury Regulations and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Employee’s employment is terminated.

18. Miscellaneous

This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof for the period defined and, upon its Effective Date, supersedes and nullifies all prior or contemporaneous conversations, negotiations, or agreements (oral or written) regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Offer Letter and any term sheet referring to the terms herein. To the extent this Agreement has been executed prior to its Effective Date and other agreements are in place as of the date of execution, such other agreements remain in place until the Effective Date has been reached, and the terms of this Agreement shall not be in effect unless and until the Effective Date has been reached. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by Employee and Company. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, a counterpart transmitted via electronic means, and all executed counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute sufficient proof of the parties’ entry into this Agreement. The parties agree to execute any further or future documents which may be necessary to allow the full performance of this Agreement. The failure of a party to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the right of such party to later enforce any provision. A waiver of the breach of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term or condition. If any provision of this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held unenforceable, such unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, except as specifically noted in this Agreement, or the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances, all of which shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law. Company and Employee agree that the restrictions contained in Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 are material terms of this Agreement, reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary to protect Company’s Confidential Information, goodwill, specialized training expertise, and legitimate business interests. If any restrictive covenant is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or geographic area, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator may reduce the scope, duration, or geographic area, and in its reduced form, such provision shall be enforceable. Should Employee violate the provisions of Sections 5, 6, or 7, then in addition to all other remedies available to Company, the duration of these covenants shall be extended for the period of time when

Employee began such violation until Employee permanently ceases such violation. Employee agrees that no bond will be required if an injunction is sought to enforce any of the covenants previously set forth herein. To the extent any subsequent agreement, plan or document applying or pertaining to Employee contains restrictive covenants of a similar nature and subject as those contained in Sections 5, 6 and/or 7 of this Agreement, Company and Employee agree that the terms of this Agreement shall prevail and control over such agreement, plan or document. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not control the meaning of any provision hereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to control or modify which entity (among the Company’s family of entities) is the Employee’s legal employer for purposes of any laws or regulations governing the employment relationship. Employee acknowledges receipt of Company’s Employee Guide, Code of Conduct and other Company policies, including the Company’s clawback policy (available on the Company’s intranet website), and agrees to review and abide by their terms, which along with any other policy referenced in this Agreement may be amended from time to time at Company’s discretion. Employee understands that Company policies do not constitute a contract between Employee and Company. Any conflict between such policies and this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of this Agreement.

Upon full execution by all parties, this Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date in Section 1.
