Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payments, awards or benefits are owed or required to be settled or delivered to Employee under Section 3.3(c), (d) and (e) and Employee has attained Retirement Eligibility, then Employee shall be awarded the payment or benefit under Section 3.3(c), (d) and (e), and Employee shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit under Section 3.2, except as provided in the immediately following sentence. If, following the end of the relevant performance period(s) for the performance-based RSAs the Employee received under Section 3.3(e), the number of Eligible RSAs that would have vested under Section 3.2(a) is, on an aggregate basis, greater than the number of RSAs that vested under Section 3.3(e) on an aggregate basis, then Employee will also be entitled to the vesting of the number of performance-based Eligible RSAs equivalent to the positive difference thereof, at the time required under Section 3.2(a). Solely for purposes of this paragraph, the determination of the Eligible RSAs shall assume that the date of Retirement Termination of Employment shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the termination of his or her employment regardless of whether such termination occurred due to a Termination of Employee’s Employment in connection with a Change of Control or a Retirement Termination of Employment. 3.4 The Company shall pay Employee any unpaid base salary or other benefit earned by him up to and including the date of Termination of Employee’s Employment or the date of Retirement Termination of Employment, as applicable (including any unpaid cash or equity incentive payment earned under the Annual Incentive Plan or the Stock Incentive Plan and vested prior to the effective date of such termination to the extent such payment would not violate Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”)). For purposes of this Agreement and any award or award agreement granted under any stock or other incentive plan of Xxxxx of Xxxx and its subsidiaries, Employee shall not be deemed to be eligible for or to have “earned” any performance-based award under such plan or such award agreement unless the applicable performance period has been fully completed and the applicable performance goals have been achieved. Subject to compliance with Section 13, the amounts described in this Section 3.4, if any, shall be paid on the date Employee would otherwise have received each such payment if his employment had not been terminated, subject to certification of the attainment of any performance goals by the Compensation Committee to the extent required by the Code or any stock or other incentive plan of Xxxxx of Xxxx and its subsidiaries or any related award agreement. 3.5 In the event of a Termination of Employee’s Employment under Section 3.1, a Retirement Termination of Employment under Section 3.2 or a Termination of Employee’s Employment under Section 3.3, the Company shall provide, to the extent permitted by benefit plans of Xxxxx of Xxxx and its subsidiaries, and applicable law, the continuation (by way of Company payment for the entire coverage under COBRA) of health insurance benefits for Employee and his eligible dependents for a maximum of (a) twelve (12) months, in the event of a Termination of Employee’s Employment under Section 3.1, or until Employee is covered by another health insurance policy or is eligible for coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan, if that occurs earlier than twelve months following the Termination of Employee’s Employment under Section 3.1 or (b) eighteen (18) months, in the event of a Retirement Termination of Employment under Section 3.2 or a Termination of Employee’s Employment under Section 3.3, or until Employee is covered by another health insurance policy or is eligible for coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan, if that occurs earlier than eighteen months following a Retirement Termination of Employment under Section 3.2 or the Termination of Employee’s

Employment under Section 3.3, as applicable. The Company shall pay the Company’s COBRA administrator directly on behalf of Employee. Employee acknowledges that the Company’s payment for coverage under COBRA may be a taxable benefit to Employee. Accordingly, in order to comply with applicable tax rules and to the extent required, the Company will impute the amount of the premium to Employee as income and report it on Form W-2. Employee and the Company agree that if the COBRA continuation payments provided for in this Section 3.5 are determined to be discriminatory under the Affordable Care Act nondiscrimination provisions applicable to insured group health plans, the parties will renegotiate Section 3.5, as applicable, in good faith to avoid the imposition of any excise tax on Employee or the Company. 3.6 Timing of Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all payments, awards and benefits due or required to be delivered to Employee under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 that are not otherwise required by any rule or regulation issued by any state or federal governmental agency shall be contingent upon execution by Employee of the Release of Claims without revocation within the time period described in Section 2 above.

In no event shall the foregoing be interpreted or administered so as to result in an acceleration of payment or further deferral of payment of any amounts (whether under this Agreement or any other arrangement) in violation of Sections 409A. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, any reduction pursuant to clause (y) shall be made by first reducing any cash payments, next by reducing any non-cash benefits, next by reducing any accelerated performance-based equity grants, and finally by reducing any time-vested equity grants, in each case in the reverse order of payment. 4.

Employee agrees and understands that the remedy at law for any breach by him of this Section 9 would be inadequate and that the damages flowing from such breach are not readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that, upon Employee’s violation of this Section 9, Xxxxx of Xxxx or its subsidiaries may be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain temporary orders or other injunctive or provisional relief restraining any further breach in a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit the Company, Xxxxx of Xxxx or any of its subsidiaries’ remedies at law or in equity for any breach by Employee of any of the provisions of this Section 9 which may be pursued or availed of by the Company, Xxxxx of Xxxx or any of its subsidiaries.

10. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement, including all matters related to its validity, enforceability, construction, interpretation and performance, all aspects of the relationship between the parties contemplated hereby and any disputes or controversies arising therefrom or related thereto, will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (without regard to its conflicts-of-law provisions or principles). The Company and Employee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the state and federal courts of El Paso County, Texas (the “Texas Court”), and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (b) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Texas Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (c) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Texas Court, and (d) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Texas Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. 11. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless such modification is agreed to in writing signed by Employee and the Company. 12. Severability. If any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable term had never been contained in this Agreement. 13. Deferred Compensation. (a) It is the intention that no payment or entitlement pursuant to this Agreement will give rise to any adverse tax consequences under Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code (“Section 457A”) and that such payments or entitlements to which Employee is or could become entitled to under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and exempt from Section 457A, with the payments intended to be exempt under the “short-term deferral” and “separation pay” exceptions to the maximum extent permitted under Section 409A, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with such intent. Further, no effect shall be given to any provision herein in a manner that reasonably could be expected to give rise to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A or Section 457A. The 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 prior to actual payment to Employee under Section 409A or Section 457A. If Employee or the Company believes, at any time, that any benefit or right provided by this Agreement does not comply with Section 409A or Section 457A, it shall promptly advise the other and shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of such benefits and rights such that they comply with Section 409A and Section 457A (with the most limited possible economic effect on Employee and on the Company). For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct payment. Nothing in this Agreement shall provide a basis for any person to take action against the Company or any affiliate thereof based on matters covered by Section 409A or Section 457A, including the tax treatment of any amount paid under this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall under any circumstances have any liability to Employee or his estate or any other party for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under this Agreement, including taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A. (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if amounts or benefits payable by reference to the timing of Employee’s termination of employment constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, as

determined in the Company’s sole discretion, (i) such amounts or benefits shall not be paid unless Employee experiences a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), (ii) to the extent that any payment period conditioned on Employee’s execution of a release commences in one calendar year and ends in the subsequent calendar year, such amounts or benefits shall be paid in the second calendar year; and (iii) if Employee is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A) as of the date of Employee’s separation from service, such amounts or benefits shall not be paid until the date that is six months and one day following the date of Employee’s separation from service, or if earlier, the date of Employee’s death. 14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed or (d) sent by facsimile transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such transmission has been received: (i) If to Employee, at such address as Employee shall provide to the Company.
