Limitation on Out of-State Litigation - Texas Business and Commerce Code § 272 This is a requirement of the TIPS Contract and is non-negotiable. Texas Business and Commerce Code § 272 prohibits a construction contract, or an agreement collateral to or affecting the construction contract, from containing a provision making the contract or agreement, or any conflict arising under the contract or agreement, subject to another state’s law, litigation in the courts of another state, or arbitration in another state. If included in Texas construction contracts, such provisions are voidable by a party obligated by the contract or agreement to perform the work. By submission of this proposal, Vendor acknowledges this law and if Vendor enters into a construction contract with a Texas TIPS Member under this procurement, Vendor certifies compliance.

[X] (ii) May not exceed 15% of Compensation for the Plan Year, -- subject to the annual additions limitation described in Part 2 of Article III and the 402(g) limitation described in Section 14.07 of the Plan. [X] (iii) Based on percentages of Compensation must equal at least 1%. --
Limitation on Benefits Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for under this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and the Executive (collectively, the “Payments”) (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 9(i), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Payments shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code; whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the Executive’s receipt on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under this Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Executive and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the 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 in reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the 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. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section. If the limitation set forth in this Section 9(i) is applied to reduce an amount payable to the Executive, and the Internal Revenue Service successfully asserts that, despite the reduction, the Executive has nonetheless received payments which are in excess of the maximum amount that could have been paid to the Executive without being subjected to any excise tax, then, unless it would be unlawful for the Company to make such a loan or similar extension of credit to the Executive, the Executive may repay such excess amount to the Company as though such amount constitutes a loan to the Executive made at the date of payment of such excess amount, bearing interest at 120% of the applicable federal rate (as determined under section 1274(d) of the Code in respect of such loan).

(c) provided that, so long as (other than with respect to clause (c)(z) below) no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect thereto, the Borrower may pay dividends on its Stock or Stock Equivalents, provided that the amount of all such dividends paid from the Original Closing Date pursuant to this clause (c) (other than dividends paid pursuant to clause (c)(x) below prior to March 31, 2015), when aggregated with (i) all aggregate principal amounts paid pursuant to Section 10.7(a)(y)(i) from the 2014 July Repricing Effective Date and (ii) all loans and advances made to any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.5(m) in lieu of dividends permitted by this clause (c) shall not exceed an amount equal to (x)(a) if, on a Pro Forma Basis, the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is less than 7.0 to 1.0, $200,000,000 or (b) if, on a Pro Forma Basis, the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is greater than 7.0 to 1.0, $0 plus (y) if, on a Pro Forma Basis, the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is less than 7.0 to 1.0, the Applicable Amount plus (z) the Applicable Equity Amount at such time; for the avoidance of doubt, amounts prepaid in reliance on and in compliance with Section 10.7(a)(y)(i) shall not retroactively cause any breach of this Section 10.6(c) in respect of dividends previously paid in compliance with this Section 10.6(c); (d) the Borrower may pay dividends: (i) the proceeds of which will be used to pay income tax liability attributable to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of consolidated, combined, unitary or affiliated tax returns filed by a direct or indirect parent of the Borrower in an amount not to exceed the income tax liability of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries were they to file as a stand-alone group, reduced by any such income taxes paid directly by the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries;

Limitation on Payments In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section 5, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s benefits under Section 3 will be either: (a) delivered in full, or (b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) cancellation of awards granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G), (iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; (iv) reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s equity awards. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 will be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to a Change of Control or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company.

The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5.
