THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of this 13th day of July, 2015, by and between The Kansas City Southern Railway Company, a Missouri corporation (referred to herein as the “Company” or “KCSR”), and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, an individual (“Executive”).
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire for the Company to employ Executive on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed by and between the Company and Executive as follows:
1.Employment. The Company hereby employs Executive as its Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer and Executive hereby accepts such employment, to have such titles, duties, powers and responsibilities as may be prescribed or delegated from time to time by the President, or other officer to whom Executive reports. Executive shall faithfully perform Executive’s duties under this Agreement to the best of Executive’s ability and Executive shall devote substantially all of Executive’s working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and joint ventures (“Affiliate(s)”).
2.Compensation. The Company shall pay Executive as compensation for Executive’s services hereunder an annual base salary at the rate approved by the appropriate committee of the Board of Directors of Kansas City Southern (“KCS”) (“Salary”), less applicable taxes and withholdings. During the term of this Agreement, such rate shall not be reduced except as agreed by the parties or except as part of a general salary reduction program imposed by the Company applicable to all officers of the Company.
3.Benefits. During the term of the Agreement, the Company shall provide Executive with coverage under such benefit plans and programs as shall be made generally available to similarly situated employees of the Company, provided (a) the Company shall have no obligation with respect to any plan or program if Executive is not eligible for coverage thereunder, and (b) Executive acknowledges that any stock or equity participation awards (including by way of example, but not limited to, stock options or restricted or performance stock) are to be granted in the discretion of the Company Board or the appropriate committee of the Board of Directors of KCS and that Executive has no right to receive any such stock or equity participation awards or any particular number or level of such stock or equity participation awards, if any. In determining contributions,
coverage and benefits under any disability insurance policy and under any cash compensation-based plan provided to Executive, it shall be assumed that the value of Executive’s annual compensation is 145% of Executive’s annual base salary. Executive acknowledges that all rights and benefits under benefit plans and programs shall be governed by the official text of each plan or program and not by any summary or description thereof or any provision of this Agreement and that the Company is not under any obligation to continue in effect or to fund any such plan or program.
4.Business Expenses. While Executive is employed with the Company, Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of his/her duties hereunder to the extent and in the manner provided in the general personnel policies of the Company with respect to such reimbursement. Executive shall provide the Company with supporting documentation for all such business expenses.
5.Term and Termination. The “Term” of this Agreement shall begin on the date first written above and continue until terminated as provided in this Paragraph 5.
(a)Termination by Executive. Executive may terminate this Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder by providing at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Company.
(b)Death or Disability. This Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate automatically (i) should Executive become unable to perform the essential duties of Executive’s job with a reasonable accommodation, should a reasonable accommodation exist, or without a reasonable accommodation should no reasonable accommodation exist, for a continuous period of one hundred eighty (180) days as a result of a physical or mental impairment or (ii) upon Executive’s death.
(c)Termination by the Company For Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement and Executive’s employment for Cause immediately upon oral, written or other notice to Executive at the Company’s sole discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise defined and used in Paragraph 8, “Cause” shall mean any one or more of the following by Executive:
(i)Any material breach of this Agreement or of any other written agreement between Executive and the Company;
(ii)Any dishonest act that the Company considers, in its sole discretion, detrimental to its best interests or reputation;
2
(iii)Conviction or deferred adjudication of any felony, any misdemeanor for a violent crime, or any other criminal offense involving fraud or dishonesty, or a finding of such an offense in a civil trial or other forum;

(d)Termination by the Company Other Than For Cause.
(i) The Company may terminate this Agreement and Executive’s employment other than for Cause immediately upon oral, written or other notice to Executive at the Company’s sole discretion, and in such event, the Company shall provide severance benefits to Executive in accordance with and subject to Paragraph 5(d)(ii) below. Executive acknowledges and agrees that such severance benefits constitute the exclusive remedy of Executive upon such a termination of employment other than for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, as a condition to receiving such severance benefits, Executive shall execute a Confidential Severance Agreement and Full and General Release, which shall include among other provisions, at the Company’s sole discretion, a full release of claims in favor of the Company and its Affiliates substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Appendix A (“Release”).
(ii) If Executive’s employment is terminated under Paragraph 5(d)(i) and Executive properly executes a Release within 21 days (or 45 days in the case a group termination) of the date Executive receives such Release and does not revoke such Release,
3
the Company shall pay Executive in addition to any unpaid Salary, unused vacation pay and reimbursement of documented accrued and unreimbursed expenses, severance and benefits for a period of twelve (12) months following Executive’s termination of employment, as follows:
(a) Severance shall be made in twelve monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Salary of Executive referenced in Paragraph 2, less applicable taxes and withholdings, at the rate in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment. The first installment shall commence within 60 days following Executive’s termination of employment; provided that (x) if such 60 day period begins in one taxable year and ends in a second taxable year, then any installments that could have been paid in the first taxable year shall be paid in the second taxable year to the extent required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder; and (y) in no event shall the aggregate amount paid to Executive during the six (6) month period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment exceed two times the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17), for the calendar year of Executive’s termination of employment (the “401(a)(17) limit”). If Executive’s severance pay during the first six (6) month period referenced above is reduced in order to not exceed the 401(a)(17) limit, then the amount of such reduction shall also be paid to Executive in equal monthly payments during the remainder of the twelve (12) month period. The obligations of the Company under this paragraph 5(d)(ii)(a) shall continue until the end of the twelve (12) month period specified herein notwithstanding the death of Executive. To the extent applicable, each installment payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A; and
(b) During the twelve (12) month period following Executive’s termination the Company shall continue Executive’s group health insurance coverage for Executive and/or his or her eligible dependents, provided that such coverage shall terminate in the event that Executive (i) becomes eligible for comparable health coverage in connection with other employment, (ii) fails to timely
4
elect to continue such coverage for himself or herself and/or his or her eligible dependents pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), (iii) fails to meet the eligibility requirements under the applicable plan for any such coverage, (iv) fails to timely pay the cost of such coverage at the rate that would be charged to an active employee with similar coverage, or (v) dies.
(e) Upon any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Paragraph 5(a), (b) or (c), notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to receive thereafter any payment from the Company except for unpaid Salary, unused vacation pay and reimbursement of documented accrued and unreimbursed expenses.
(f) Upon any termination of Executive’s employment, Executive’s benefits in all Company-sponsored benefit plans not elsewhere referred to in this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans. To the extent Executive is not vested in any equity awards as of any termination date, including without limitation, with respect to stock options, restricted stock or performance shares, such unvested equity awards shall be forfeited as of the termination date. Nothing herein shall extend the exercise period applicable to any unexercised options outstanding as of any termination date.
6.Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.
(a) Executive understands and agrees that Executive may be given Confidential Information (as defined below) during Executive’s employment with the Company relating to the business of the Company and its Affiliates, subject to Executive’s agreement herein. Executive shall maintain in strictest confidence and not use in any way (including without limitation in any future business relationship of Executive), publish, disclose or authorize anyone else to use in any way, publish or disclose, any Confidential Information. Executive further agrees not to remove or retain any calculations, letters, documents, lists, papers, or copies thereof, which embody Confidential Information and to return, prior to Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, any such information in Executive’s possession. If Executive discovers, or comes into possession of, any Confidential Information after Executive’s termination, Executive shall promptly return it to the Company. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of this paragraph are consistent with the Company’s policies and procedures to which Executive, as an employee of the Company, is bound.
5
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, information in the possession of, prepared by, obtained by, compiled by, or that is used by the Company or any of its Affiliates or customers and (i) is proprietary to, about, or created by the Company or any of its Affiliates or customers; (ii) gives the Company or any of its Affiliates or customers some competitive business advantage, the opportunity of obtaining such advantage, or disclosure of which might be detrimental to the interest of the Company or any of its Affiliates or customers; and (iii) is not typically disclosed by the Company or any of its Affiliates or customers, or known by persons who are not employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates or customers. Without in any way limiting the foregoing and by way of example, Confidential Information shall include: information pertaining to business operations of the Company or any of its Affiliates or customers, such as financial and operational information and data, operational plans and strategies, business and marketing strategies, pricing information, plans for various products and services, and acquisition and divestiture planning. Upon separation of employment, Executive shall notify the Company’s Department of Human Resources in writing of the name and address of Executive’s intended future employer. Additionally, during any period that Executive is receiving any severance pay, Executive shall notify the Company’s Department of Human Resources in writing of the name and address any subsequent employer.
(c) In the event of any breach of this Paragraph 6 by Executive, the Company shall be entitled to terminate any and all remaining severance benefits under Paragraph 5(d)(ii) and shall be entitled to pursue such other legal and equitable remedies as may be available. Executive acknowledges, understands and agrees that the Company and its Affiliates will suffer immediate and irreparable harm if Executive fails to comply with any of Executive’s obligations under this Paragraph 6, and that monetary damages alone will be inadequate to compensate the Company or any of its Affiliates for such breach. Accordingly, Executive agrees that the Company and its Affiliates shall, in addition to any other remedies available to them at law or in equity, be entitled to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance to enforce the terms of this Paragraph 6 without the necessity of proving inadequacy of legal remedies or irreparable harm or posting bond.

7.Restrictive Covenants.
(a) Executive agrees that for a period of time beginning upon Executive’s termination of employment from the Company (the “Termination Date”) and continuing for a period of one (1) year, Executive shall not:
(i) directly or indirectly, either individually or as a principal, partner, agent, employee, employer, consultant, stockholder, member, partner, joint venturer, or investor, or as a director, manager or officer of any corporation or association, or in any other manner or capacity whatsoever, engage in, assist or have any active interest in a business, located anywhere in the geographic area then served by the Company or its Affiliates, that competes with or engages in the business conducted by the Company or its Affiliates on the date hereof or at any time through the Termination Date.
(ii) directly or indirectly, either individually, or as a principal, partner, agent, employee, employer, consultant, stockholder, joint venturer, or investor, or as a director or officer of any corporation or association, (1) divert or attempt to divert (by solicitation or otherwise) from the Company or its Affiliates any business with any customer, prospective customer or account of the Company or its Affiliates with which Executive had any contact or association, which was under Executive’s supervision, or the identity of which was learned by Executive as a result of his/her employment with the Company; (2) accept the business of any customer, prospective customer or account of the Company or its Affiliates with whom Executive had any contact or association, which was under Executive’s supervision, or the identity of which was learned by Executive as a result of his/her employment with the Company, whether or not solicited by Executive; or (3) induce, solicit, or cause any employee of the Company or its Affiliates to leave the employ of the Company or its Affiliates.
(iii) except that these Restrictive Covenants shall not apply in the event of a Change in Control as defined in Paragraph 8(b).
(b) Executive acknowledges that any breach of the restrictive covenants contained in Paragraph 7(a) of this Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”) would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that its remedy at law would be inadequate and, accordingly, consents to and agrees that temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted, without
7
bond, in any proceeding which may be brought to enforce the Restrictive Covenants, without the necessity of proof of actual damage. This right to an injunction shall not prohibit the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it including, but not limited to, the recovery of damages. Executive further agrees that the Company may provide a copy of this Agreement to any prospective employer of Executive that the Company believes is a competitor.
(c) If Executive violates the Restrictive Covenants, Executive (i) shall forfeit all right to future benefits under this Agreement; (ii) shall refund to the Company any severance and benefits and all associated taxes paid by the Company; (iii) shall pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs incurred by the Company as a result of Executive’s breach; and (iv) acknowledges that the Company may pursue any other remedies available to it as a result of Executive’s breach including, but not limited to, the recovery of damages.

Such lump sum payment shall be paid within 60 days following Executive’s termination of employment; provided that if such 60 day period begins in one taxable year and ends in a second taxable year, then (x) Executive shall have no right to determine, directly or indirectly, the year of any payment, and (y) payment shall be made in the second taxable year to the extent required by Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder; and
