Together the CIC Agreement, Employment Agreement and Benefit Plans are referred to as the “Contracts.”
1.2 Transformation Plan. The Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) approved a transformation plan to maximize shareholder value through the separation of the Company into three separate public companies and the sale of its strategic timberland (“Transformation Plan”).
1.3 Change in Control. The consummation of the Transformation Plan will constitute a “Change in Control” as defined in the CIC Agreement.
1.4 Senior Leadership Plan. The Board approved a “Senior Leadership Plan,” which, among other matters, provides that in connection with the successful completion of the Transformation Plan, Xx. Xxxxxxx will retire as Chairman and CEO of the Company. At or about the time the Transformation Plan is completed, Xx. Xxxxxxx will become the Non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of both Guaranty Financial Group Inc. (“Guaranty”) and Forestar Real Estate Group (“Forestar”).

Xxxxxxx of any provision of this Agreement and provided further that Xx. Xxxxxxx shall have on and after the date of execution of this Agreement cooperated with the Company to execute any amendment to the provisions hereof reasonably necessary to avoid the imposition of such tax, but only to the minimum extent necessary to avoid the application of such tax and only to the extent that Xx.

4
promptly reimburse Xx. Xxxxxxx for the premiums for such coverage in respect of the period on or after July 1, 2008. In no event shall the amount of premiums as to which Xx.

5.2 No Limitation on Rights. To the extent that the amounts and benefits paid or provided by the rabbi trust do not pay or provide the full amount of payments or benefits required to be provided hereunder, the Company shall remain fully liable to pay or provide such amounts or benefits. In no event shall the amount contributed to the rabbi trust by the Company (whether in cash, property, or insurance policies) with respect to the payments and benefits to be provided under this Agreement be less than the amount required to be contributed to the rabbi trust by the Company (whether in cash, property, or insurance policies) pursuant to the terms of the rabbi trust with respect to the payments and benefits to be provided hereunder.
6. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT:
6.1 Retirement by Mutual Agreement. The retirement by Xx. Xxxxxxx occurs under circumstances that are a “Change in Control” under the CIC Agreement, is voluntary and is by mutual agreement with the Company. The parties agree that there is not “Cause” as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement. As of the Retirement Date, the “Employment Period” as defined in the Employment Agreement ends.
6.2 Effect on Employment Agreement. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.3, the provisions of Sections 1-5 (other than Section 3(f)(ii) to the extent provided in Section 4.2.B hereof) and 13-14 of the Employment Agreement shall be deemed to be fully executed, satisfied or superseded and shall no longer be in effect after December 28, 2007 (the Transition Date in the case of Sections 2(a) and 2(b) of the Employment Agreement). The other sections of the Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and
5
effect and are incorporated and made part of this Agreement and shall apply to this Agreement (including without limitation the provisions relating to notice, governing law, withholding, amendment, dispute resolution and indemnification), provided that in the event of conflict between a specific provision of this Agreement and any of the incorporated provisions, the specific provision of this Agreement shall control, including without limitation the provisions of Sections 3.2, 4.1 and 4.2 hereof.
6.3 Effect on CIC Agreement. After December 28, 2007, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.3, the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the CIC Agreement (other than to the extent provided in Section 4 hereof), and those portions of Section 15 containing the definition of terms used exclusively in the foregoing sections, shall be deemed to be fully executed, satisfied or superseded and shall no longer be in effect. The other sections of the CIC Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, provided that in the event of conflict between a specific provision of this Agreement the specific provision of this Agreement shall control, including without limitation the provisions of Sections 3.2, 4.1 and 4.2 hereof.
7. EMPLOYEE MATTERS AGREEMENT AND OTHER SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS: Incident to the spin offs of Forestar and Guaranty under the Transformation Plan, the Company, Forestar and Guaranty will enter into various severance agreements dealing with post spin off rights, duties, powers and obligations among the three companies (“Severance Agreements”). Among those agreements will be an “Employee Matters Agreement” that, among other matters, deals with the allocation of various obligations related to payments or the issuance of shares of capital stock that result from various incentive compensation arrangements made by the Company. The obligations under those incentive compensation arrangements shall be divided post spin offs among the Company, Forestar and Guaranty. As divided, subject to satisfaction of any applicable conditions, each of those companies shall be severally liable as of the date of the spin offs for those obligations to the employees holding rights to receive performance bonuses, rights to receive shares of such company’s common stock, rights to be paid the value of shares of such company’s stock and options to acquire shares of such company’s stock (together, “Equity Incentives”) in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreements and to the extent applicable, the other Severance Agreements. Xx. Xxxxxxx agrees to the division of his Equity Incentives post spin off in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Severance Agreements. Xx. Xxxxxxx also agrees to sole and several liability for each company assuming an obligation or part of an obligation to him post spin off, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement that is to the contrary. Xx. Xxxxxxx’x agreement is conditioned upon the division of his Equity Incentives being divided under the Severance Agreement by the same methods as are used to divide the same or substantially similar obligations to other employees so that his rights to his Equity Incentives and the other employee’s rights to the same or substantially similar Equity Incentives are treated pari passu. In the absence of manifest error or bad faith, the determinations by the Company, Forestar and Guaranty as to how to divide the Equity Incentive obligations ratably among the employees holding those rights shall be final and binding upon Xx. Xxxxxxx. All shares of stock issued to Xx. Xxxxxxx by any of the Company, Forestar and Guaranty shall be registered on a recognized national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ stock market.
8. INTEGRATION: This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, writings, and agreements between them.
9. JOINDER BY FORESTAR AND GUARANTY: Forestar and Guaranty join in this Agreement to evidence that they are bound by those provisions of this Agreement that affect their respective interests, including without limitation Sections 2, 3.1, 4.1 (to the extent obligations under Exhibit B are allocated to Forestar and Guaranty) and 7 of this Agreement .
