WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, in connection with the closing on October 10, 2007 of the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among Holdings (formerly TXU Corp.), Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership and Texas Energy Future Merger Sub Corp. (the “Closing”), the Company desires to employ Executive and to enter into an agreement embodying the terms of such employment; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive and Executive desires to accept such employment commencing on the Effective Date (as defined herein), in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and obligations contained herein, Holdings, the Company and Executive agree as follows:

1. Term of Employment. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, this Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder shall be effective as of the Closing (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue until the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Employment Term”). Upon the expiration of the Employment Term, Executive shall retire and Executive’s employment by the Company shall not be further extended.

2. Positions.

a. During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company or in a senior executive position with Holdings. Executive shall also serve as a member of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), or on the board of directors of an Affiliate (as defined in Section 8(c) below) of the Company without additional compensation. In such positions, Executive shall have such duties, authority and responsibilities as shall be determined from time to time by the Board, which duties, authority and responsibilities shall be customary for Executive’s positions in a business of a similar size, type and nature to that of the Company or Holdings, as applicable. Executive shall report to the CEO of Holdings with respect to his responsibilities to the Company and Holdings.

b. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full business time and best efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or interfere with the rendition of such services either directly or indirectly, without the prior

written consent of the Board; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude Executive from serving on the outside board of directors of one other company and, subject to the prior approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, from accepting appointment to or continuing to serve on such additional boards of directors or trustees of any other business, corporation or charitable organization; provided, further, that, in each case, such activities do not conflict or interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or conflict with Section 8.

3. Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary at the annual rate of $650,000, payable in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payment practices. Executive shall be entitled to such increases, if any, in his base salary as may be determined from time to time in the sole discretion of the Board, in accordance with the Company’s normal annual review process for executives. Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary”.

4. Annual Bonus. With respect to each full fiscal year during the Employment Term, commencing with the 2008 fiscal year, Executive shall have the opportunity to earn an annual bonus award (the “Annual Bonus”) of 75% of his Base Salary (“Annual Bonus Target”), as in effect at the beginning of the applicable fiscal year, based upon the achievement of annual performance targets established by the Board; provided, however, if Executive achieves superior performance targets as established by the Board, then Executive shall be eligible to receive a bonus award constituting 200% of his Annual Bonus Target. The Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid to Executive within two and one-half (2.5) months after the end of the applicable fiscal year.

5. Stock Compensation; Employee Benefits; Perquisites; Fringe Benefits.

a. Upon, or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Holdings shall grant Executive an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Holdings (“Stock”) on terms and conditions set forth in the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit I. This award shall be subject to the further terms and conditions of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement and the Sale Participation Agreement each in substantially the form attached as Exhibit II and III, respectively.

b. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s group health, life, disability and other active employee and retiree welfare benefit plans and arrangements, and tax qualified and nonqualified savings and pension benefit plans, as in effect from time to time (collectively “Employee Benefits”), on a basis which is no less favorable than is provided to other similarly situated executives of the Company, to the extent consistent with applicable law and the terms of the applicable plans and standard perquisites.

c. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits consistent with the practices of the Company, including payment on behalf of Executive of monthly membership fees of a country, social, or city club selected by Executive and approved by the Company. Fringe benefits shall be provided to Executive to the extent the Company provides similar benefits to other similarly situated Company executives.

6. Business Expenses. Subject to the Company’s standard policies and procedures with respect to expense reimbursement as applied to its executive employees generally, the Company shall reimburse Executive for, or pay on behalf of Executive, reasonable and appropriate expenses incurred by Executive for business related purposes.

7. Termination; Section 4999. Prior to expiration of the Employment Term, Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by either the Company or Executive at any time and for any reason; provided that, unless otherwise provided herein, either party will be required to give the other party at least sixty (60) days advance written notice of any termination of Executive’s employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7 shall exclusively govern Executive’s rights upon termination of employment with Holdings, the Company, and any of their respective Affiliates.

a. By the Company For Cause or By Executive Due to Voluntary Resignation Without Good Reason Prior to Expiration of the Employment Term.

(i) Prior to expiration of the Employment Term, Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or by Executive’s voluntary resignation without Good Reason (as defined below). If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or if Executive resigns without Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive:

(A) within ten (10) business days following the date of termination, accrued, but unpaid Base Salary and unused vacation, earned through the date of termination;

(B) accrued, but unpaid Annual Bonus, earned for any previously completed fiscal year, paid in accordance with Section 4 (except to the extent payment is otherwise deferred pursuant to any applicable deferred compensation arrangement with the Company);

(C) reimbursement, within sixty (60) days following submission by Executive to the Company, as applicable, of appropriate supporting documentation, for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Executive in accordance with the Company’s policies prior to the date of Executive’s termination; provided claims for such reimbursement (accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation) are submitted to the Company within ninety (90) days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment;

(D) such Employee Benefits and stock compensation, if any, as to which Executive may be entitled under the employee benefit plans of the Company or any agreement between Holdings or the Company and Executive; and

(E) any amounts payable or that may become payable pursuant to Section 7(d) (the amounts described in clauses (A) through (E) hereof being referred to as the “Accrued Rights”).

Following such termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause or voluntary resignation by Executive without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 7(a)(i), and for any rights to indemnification and claims for liability insurance coverage under officer and director policies, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, the terms:

(A) “Cause” shall mean (i) if, in carrying out his duties to the Company, Executive engages in conduct that constitutes (a) a material breach of his fiduciary duty to the Company or its shareholders (including, without limitation, a material breach or attempted breach of the provisions under Section 8), (b) gross neglect or (c) gross misconduct resulting in material economic harm to the Company, provided that any such conduct described in (a), (b) or (c) is not cured within ten (10) business days after Executive receives from the Company written notice thereof, or (ii) Executive’s conviction of, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere for, a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude.

(B) “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or Executive’s annual incentive compensation opportunity (other than a general reduction in base salary or annual incentive compensation opportunities that affects all salaried employees of the Company equally); (ii) a transfer of Executive’s primary workplace by more than thirty-five (35) miles from the current workplace; (iii) a substantial adverse change in Executive’s duties or responsibilities; (iv) any material breach of this Agreement; or (v) an adverse change in Executive’s line of reporting to superior officers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that any isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure by the Company that is not in bad faith and is cured within ten (10) business days after Executive gives the Company written notice of any such event set forth above, shall not constitute Good Reason.

b. Disability, Death or Termination upon Expiration of the Employment Term.

(i) Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon expiration of the Employment Term, or upon Executive’s death prior to expiration of the Employment Term, and may be terminated by the Company if Executive has a Disability as hereinafter defined prior to expiration of the Employment Term. Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for either Disability or death, or upon expiration of the Employment Term, Executive or Executive’s estate (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive:

(A) the Accrued Rights; and

(B) a pro-rata portion of the Annual Bonus Target, if any, that Executive would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4 hereof for the fiscal year of termination, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during which Executive was employed by the Company in the fiscal year of Executive’s termination, and the denominator of which is 365 (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”), with such Pro-Rata Bonus payable to Executive pursuant to Section 4 as if Executive’s employment had not terminated.

Following Executive’s termination of employment due to death or Disability, or upon expiration of the Employment Term, except as set forth in this Section 7(b)(i), and for any rights to indemnification and claims for liability insurance coverage under officer and director policies, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(ii) “Disability” shall mean Executive’s physical or mental incapacitation and consequent inability, with reasonable accommodation, for a period of six consecutive months to perform Executive’s duties; provided, however, in the event the Company temporarily replaces Executive, or transfers Executive’s duties or responsibilities to another individual, on account of Executive’s mental or physical impairment for a period of time which is covered by the Company’s short term disability plan, Executive’s employment shall not be deemed terminated by the Company and Executive shall not be able to resign with Good Reason. Any question as to the existence of the Disability of Executive as to which Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Executive and the Company. If Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Agreement and any other agreement with Executive that incorporates this definition of “Disability”.

c. By the Company Without Cause or Resignation by Executive for Good Reason Prior to Expiration of the Employment Term. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or upon Executive’s resignation for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or Executive resigns for Good Reason prior to the expiration of the Employment Term (whether or not following a Change in Control, as defined in the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees of Energy Future Holdings Corp. and its Affiliates), except as otherwise provided in Section 7(d), Executive shall be entitled to receive:

(i) the Accrued Rights;

(ii) provided Executive (x) does not violate the restrictions set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement and (y) executes, delivers and does not revoke a general release of claims against Holdings, its subsidiaries and its stockholders (excluding claims for indemnification, claims for coverage under officer and director policies, claims as a stockholder of Holdings, and claims under Section 6.11 of the Merger Agreement), a lump sum payment equal to two (2) times the sum of: (1) Executive’s annualized Base Salary and (2) Executive’s Annual Bonus Target, payable as soon as practicable but no later than the earlier of: (i) March 15 following the calendar year in which termination occurs or (ii) ninety (90) days following termination;

(iii) Executive, his spouse and eligible dependents (to the extent covered immediately prior to such termination) shall continue to be eligible to participate in all of the Company’s group health plans on the same terms and conditions as active employees of

the Company until the earlier of (x) two (2) years from the date of termination of Executive’s employment (the “Severance Period”), to the extent that Executive was eligible to participate in such plans immediately prior to the date of termination, or (y) until Executive is, or becomes, eligible for comparable coverage under the group health plans of a subsequent employer, provided that, if Executive continues to receive benefits pursuant to this Section 7(c)(iii) during a period of time during which, in the absence of the benefits provided in this Section 7(c)(iii), Executive would not otherwise be entitled to continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Executive shall receive reimbursement for all medical expenses on the date no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the applicable expenses have been incurred. The COBRA health care continuation coverage period under Section 4980B of the Code, or any replacement or successor provision of United States tax law, shall run concurrently with the Severance Period.

Following Executive’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of Executive’s death or Disability) or upon Executive’s resignation for Good Reason prior to expiration of the Employment Term, except as set forth in this Section 7(c) or otherwise provided in Section 7(d), and for any rights to indemnification and claims for liability insurance coverage under officer and director policies, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

d. Section 4999.

(i) If, by reason of, or in connection with, any transaction that occurs after the Effective Date, Executive would be subject to the imposition of the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code related to Executive’s employment with Holdings or the Company, whether before or after termination of Executive’s employment, but the imposition of such tax could be avoided by approval of shareholders described in Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, then Executive may cause the Company or Holdings to seek such approval, in which case the Company and Holdings will use their reasonable best efforts to cause such approval to be obtained and Executive will cooperate and execute such waivers as may be necessary so that such approval avoids imposition of any excise tax under Section 4999. If Executive fails to cause the Company or Holdings to seek such approval, or if Executive does cause the Company or Holdings to seek such approval, but fails to cooperate and execute such waivers as may be necessary in the approval process, Exhibit IV shall not apply and Executive shall not be entitled to any gross-up payment for any resulting tax under Section 4999. If such approval, even if sought and obtained, would not avoid imposition of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999, then the provisions of Exhibit IV attached hereto shall apply without any precedent obligation of Executive to seek such approval.

(ii) In the event of the imposition of the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code arising by reason of or in connection with the Closing, whether before or after termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth on Exhibit IV.

e. Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of employment by the Company or by Executive (other than due to Executive’s death) shall be communicated by

written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 9(j) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the provision so indicated.

8. Restrictive Covenants.

a. In consideration of Holdings and the Company entering into this Agreement with Executive and hereby promising and committing themselves to provide Executive with Confidential Information and/or specialized training after Executive executes this Agreement, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i) at any time during or after the Employment Term, disclose any Confidential Information pertaining to the business of Holdings, the Company, the Sponsor Group, or any of their respective Affiliates, except when required to perform his duties to Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or by law or judicial process, provided that Executive gives the Company reasonable notice of any legal or judicial proceeding requiring Executive to disclose Confidential Information and an opportunity to challenge the disclosure of any such information, and Executive agrees to provide such reasonable notice in writing to:

General Counsel

Energy Future Holdings Corp.

0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx

Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000

(000) 000-0000 (facsimile);

(ii) at any time during the Employment Term and for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter (the “Non-Compete Period”), directly or indirectly, act as a proprietor, investor, director, officer, employee, substantial stockholder, consultant, or partner in any Competing Business in Texas or any other geographic area in which Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership, Holdings, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries operates or conducts business; or

(iii) at any time during the Employment Term and for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, directly or indirectly (A) solicit customers or clients of Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate their relationship with Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or otherwise solicit such customers or clients to compete with any business of Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or (B) solicit or offer employment to any person who is, or has been at any time during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the termination of Executive’s employment employed by Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates;

provided that in each of (ii) and (iii) above, such restrictions shall not apply with respect to any member of the Sponsor Group or any of its Affiliates that is not engaged in any business that competes, directly or indirectly, with Holdings or any of its subsidiaries in any geographic area where they operate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of Section 8(a), (A)

Executive may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment, securities of any Person engaged in the business of Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or quotation system or on the over-the-counter market if Executive (I) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person and (II) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person, and (B) the Non-Compete Period shall not be triggered by any exercise of tag-along rights under the Sale Participation Agreement entered into between Executive and Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership (the “Sale Participation Agreement”) or Drag Transaction (as defined in the Sale Participation Agreement) that may occur after the date hereof.

b. Notwithstanding clause (a) above, if at any time a court holds that the restrictions stated in such clause (a) are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographic area determined to be reasonable under such circumstances by such court will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has had access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages will be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without the posting of a bond or other security). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Executive breaches the covenants set forth in Section 8(a), the Company’s rights and remedies with respect Executive’s Options, Option Stock, and Stock and payments related thereto, as those terms are defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement between Executive and Holdings (the “MSA”), shall be limited to those set forth in Section 22(c) of the MSA.

c. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms listed below shall be defined as follows:

(i) Affiliate shall mean with respect to any Person, any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person; provided, however, for purposes of this Agreement, Texas Energy Future Co-Invest, LP shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Sponsor Group or any member of the Sponsor Group.

(ii) Competing Business shall mean any business that directly or indirectly competes, at the relevant determination date, with one or more of the businesses of Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates in any geographic area where Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership, Holdings, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries operates.

Any

information that does not meet each of the criteria listed above (in subsections (i) – (iii)) shall not constitute Confidential Information. By way of example, Confidential Information shall include but not be limited to the following: all non-public information or trade secrets of Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates that gives Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates a competitive business advantage or the opportunity of obtaining such advantage, or disclosure of which might be detrimental to the interests of Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates; information regarding Holdings’, the Company’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ business operations, such as financial and sales data (including budgets, forecasts, and historical financial data), operational information, plans, and strategies; business and marketing strategies and plans for various products and services; rate and regulatory strategy and plans; information regarding suppliers, consultants, employees, and contractors; technical information concerning products, equipment, services, and processes; procurement procedures; pricing and pricing techniques; information concerning past, current and prospective customers, investors, and business affiliates; plans or strategies for expansion or acquisitions; budgets; research; trading methodologies and terms; communications information; evaluations, opinions, and interpretations of information and data; marketing and merchandising techniques; electronic databases; models; specifications; computer programs; contracts; bids or proposals; technologies and methods; training methods and processes; organizational structure; personnel information; payments or rates paid to consultants or other service providers; and Holdings’, Company’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ files, physical or electronic documents, equipment, and proprietary data or material in whatever form including all copies of all such materials.

(v) Restricted Group shall mean, collectively Holdings, its subsidiaries, the members of the Sponsor Group and their respective Affiliates.

(vi) Sponsor Group shall mean Kohlberg Kravis Xxxxxxx & Co. L.P., TPG Capital L.P., and Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co.

9. Miscellaneous.

a. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

b. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the employment of Executive by Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those

c. No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

d. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

e. Assignment. This Agreement, and all of Executive’s rights and duties hereunder, shall not be assignable or delegable by Executive. Any purported assignment or delegation by Executive in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to a person or entity which is an Affiliate or a successor in interest to substantially all of the business operations of the Company, provided that the assignee expressly assumes all of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and all other related agreements to which Executive and the Company are parties. Upon such assignment, the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of such Affiliate or successor person or entity.

f. Set Off; Mitigation. The obligations of Holdings and the Company to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall not be subject to setoff, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to Holdings, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates.

g. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, at the time of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, the Company has securities which are publicly traded on an established securities market, and Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable pursuant to Section 7 as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code), provided that amounts which do not exceed the limits set forth

in Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code in the year of such termination shall be payable immediately upon termination. If any payments or benefits are deferred due to such requirements, such amounts will be paid in a lump sum to Executive at the end of such six (6) month period. The Company shall consult with Executive in good faith regarding the implementation of the provisions of this Section 9(g).

h. Indemnity. The Company, Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership and Texas Energy Future Merger Sub Corp. shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless for all acts and omissions occurring during his employment or service as a member of the Board of the Company and of such other companies (as applicable), or both, to the maximum extent provided under each of the Company’s and such other companies’ charters, certificates of formation, limited partnership agreements, by-laws and applicable law. During the Employment Term and for a term of six (6) years thereafter, the Company, or any successor to the Company, and such other companies, above, and their successors, shall purchase and maintain, at their own expense, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for Executive in the same amount as for members of the Board.

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

Section 3.1. —Commencement of Exercisability

(a) So long as the Optionee continues to be employed by the Company or any other Service Recipients, the Option shall become exercisable pursuant to the following schedules:

(i) Time Option. The Time Option shall become vested and exercisable with respect to 50% of the Shares subject to such Option on each of the first two anniversaries of the Closing Date.

(ii) Performance Option. The Performance Option shall be eligible to become vested and exercisable as to 20% of the Shares subject to such Option at the end of each of the five Fiscal Years if the Company, on a consolidated basis, achieves its annual EBITDA targets as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto (each an “EBITDA Target”) for the given Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an EBITDA Target is not achieved in a particular Fiscal Year, then that portion of the Performance Option that was eligible to vest but failed to vest due to the Company’s failure to achieve its EBITDA Target shall nevertheless vest and become exercisable at the end of either of the two immediately subsequent Fiscal Years if the applicable two- or three-year cumulative EBITDA Target (each a “Cumulative EBITDA Target”) set forth on Schedule A attached hereto is achieved on a cumulative basis at the end of either of the two immediately subsequent Fiscal Years with respect to a Fiscal Year completed no more than two years prior to the then completed Fiscal Years; provided that, in the event that an EBITDA Target is not achieved in either of Fiscal Years 2011 or 2012, then that portion of the Performance Option that was eligible to vest but failed to vest due to the Company’s failure to achieve its EBITDA Target or the applicable Cumulative EBITDA Target shall nevertheless vest and become exercisable at the end of either of the two immediately subsequent fiscal years of the Company if the budgeted EBITDA target set by the Board and the Committee in respect of such Fiscal Year of the Company is achieved and the excess over such budgeted amount is sufficient to satisfy the shortfall from Fiscal Year 2011 or 2012.

(a) Notwithstanding any of Section 3.1(a) above, upon (i) Optionee’s continued employment with the Company or other applicable Service Recipient through the second anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) the occurrence of a termination of employment without Cause or a resignation by the Optionee for Good Reason, in each case prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Time Option shall become immediately exercisable as to 100% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option immediately prior to such event, and the Performance Option shall remain outstanding and shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1 as though the Optionee continued to remain employed by the Company or other applicable Service Recipient.

(b) Notwithstanding any of Section 3.1(a) above, upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the Performance Option shall become immediately exercisable as to 100% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option immediately prior to the Liquidity Event (but only to the extent such Option has not otherwise terminated or become exercisable). If immediate exercisability as to 100% of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option pursuant to the preceding sentence would cause the Sponsor IRR and Sponsor Return not to be achieved, “100%” in the preceding sentence shall be replaced with the maximum percentage so that either the Sponsor IRR or Sponsor Return is achieved.

(b) In the event that the Sponsor Group receives Marketable Securities in an event constituting a Measurement Date (including, following a public offering, shares of Common Stock) in excess of more than 25% of the aggregate amount realized in such event, (1) Sponsor IRR and Sponsor Return shall be initially calculated at the time of the Measurement Date without regard to the value of such Marketable Securities so received and such resulting Sponsor Return and Sponsor IRR shall be used to determine vesting of Shares of Common Stock subject to Performance Options in accordance with Section 3.1(c) above; and (2) if the Sponsor Return and/or Sponsor IRR as calculated in (1) above do not result in 100% vesting of the outstanding exercisable Shares of Common Stock subject to such Option immediately prior to the Measurement Date, Sponsor Return and Sponsor IRR shall be recalculated upon each direct or indirect disposition of such Marketable Securities by the Sponsor Group for cash, discounting the cash received to determine its present value at the time of the Measurement Date. If such recalculated Sponsor IRR and/or Sponsor Return would have resulted in 100% vesting of all Shares of Common Stock subject to Performance Options at the time of the Measurement Date, then all such Options shall immediately vest.

(c) Except as set forth in this Section 3.1, no Option shall become exercisable as to any additional shares of Common Stock following the termination of employment of the Optionee for any reason and any Option, which is unexercisable as of the Optionee’s termination of employment, shall immediately expire without payment therefor.

(g) Immediately upon the date of an Optionee’s breach of the provisions Section 22(a)(ii) of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement; or

Right of First Refusal.

(a) If, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and prior

to the earlier to occur of a Change in Control or consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, the Management Stockholder proposes to transfer any or all of the Management Stockholder’s Stock (any such transferee, the “ROFR Transferee”) (other than any transfer pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3) or (4) of Section 2(a)), the Management Stockholder shall notify the Company in writing of the Management Stockholder’s intention to transfer such Stock (such written notice, a “ROFR Notice”). The ROFR Notice shall include a true and correct description of the number of shares of Stock to be transferred and the material terms of such proposed transfer (including the price and identity, including name and address, of the proposed transferee) and a copy of any proposed documentation to be entered into with any ROFR Transferee in respect of such transfer) and shall contain an irrevocable offer to sell such Stock to the Company or its designees (as provided below) (in the manner set forth below) at a purchase price equal to the minimum price at which the Management Stockholder proposes to transfer such Stock to any ROFR Transferee and on substantially the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer. At any time within twenty (20) days after the date of the receipt by the Company of the ROFR Notice, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a Subsidiary, third party or Affiliate to purchase, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred to a ROFR Transferee, pursuant to Section 4(b).

(b) The Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a Subsidiary, third party or Affiliate to purchase, all of the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred to any ROFR Transferee at a purchase price equal to the minimum price at which the Management Stockholder proposes to transfer such Stock to any ROFR Transferee and otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer (or, if the proposed transfer to any ROFR Transferee includes any consideration other than cash, then at the sole option of the Company, at the equivalent all cash price, determined in good faith by the Board), by delivering (i) a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) and/or (ii) if the proposed transfer to any ROFR Transferee includes any consideration other than cash, any such non-cash consideration, in each case to be paid to the Management Stockholder at the principal office of the Company against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the shares of Stock so purchased, appropriately endorsed by the Management Stockholder. If at the end of the 20-day period, the Company has not tendered (or caused to be tendered) the purchase price for such shares in the manner set forth above, the Management Stockholder may, during the succeeding 60-day period, sell not less than all of the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred to any ROFR Transferee (subject to compliance with the other terms of this Agreement) on terms no less favorable to the Management Stockholder than those contained in the ROFR Notice. Promptly after such sale, the Management Stockholder shall notify the Company of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of such sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company. If, at the end of sixty (60) days following the expiration of the 20-day period during which the Company is entitled hereunder to purchase the Stock, the Management Stockholder has not completed the sale of such shares of the Stock as aforesaid, all of the restrictions on sale, transfer or assignment contained in this Agreement shall again be in effect with respect to such shares of the Stock.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of occurrence of a Change in Control or a Qualified Public Offering.

The Management Stockholder’s Right to Resell Stock and Options to the Company.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company (or, if applicable, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) terminates as a result of the death or Disability of the Management Stockholder, then the applicable Management Stockholder Entity, shall, during the later of the following: (x) the 365-day period following the date of such termination for death or Disability or (y) if the Company has declared an Event (as defined below) has occurred, the 30-day period following the date on which the Management Stockholder Entity receives notice that an Event which was declared by the Company while the Management Stockholder Entity held the Stock no longer exists; provided, however, the Management Stockholder Entity shall not be entitled to exercise the Management Stockholder’s rights pursuant to this Section 5 unless the Management Stockholder Entity has held the Stock to be resold pursuant to this Section 5 for at least six (6) months (including as a result of net settlement as specified in Section 5(a)(ii) (the “Put Period”), have the right to:

(i) With respect to Stock (including Net Settled Stock, defined below), sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date;

(ii) With respect to any outstanding vested Options, upon the occurrence of the applicable event identified in this Section 5 giving rise to the Management Stockholder’s rights hereunder, the Company shall deem the Management Stockholder Entity to have exercised the outstanding vested Options, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Stock Option Agreement, and be entitled to receive from the Company, on one occasion, in exchange for all of the outstanding vested Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entity, if any, a number of shares of Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date, over the Option Exercise Price and (B) the number of shares then acquirable on exercise, divided by (y) the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment of shares of Stock (such shares of Stock, the “Net Settled Stock”). In the event the foregoing amount is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof; and

(iii) With respect to any outstanding unvested Options, all outstanding unvested Options shall be terminated and cancelled without any payment in respect thereof.

(b) In the event the applicable Management Stockholder Entities intend to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 5(a), such Management Stockholder Entities shall send written notice to the Company, at any time during the Put Period, of their intention to sell shares of Stock (including Net Settled Stock) in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 5(a)(i) and shall indicate the number of shares of Stock (including Net Settled Stock) to be sold (the “Redemption Notice”). The completion of the purchases shall take place at the principal office of the Company no later than the twentieth Business Day (such date to be determined by the Company) after the giving of the Redemption Notice. The applicable Repurchase Price shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder

Entities, at the option of the Company, of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, if there exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money or if the repurchase referred to in Section 5(a) (or Section 6 below, as the case may be) would result in a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company under any such agreement or if a repurchase would reasonably be expected to be prohibited by the Texas Business Organization Code (“TBOC”) or any federal or state securities laws or regulations (or if the Company reincorporates in another state, the business corporation law of such state) (each such occurrence being an “Event”), the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any of the Stock or the Options from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities to the extent it would cause any such default or would be so prohibited by the Event for cash but instead, with respect to such portion with respect to which cash settlement is prohibited, may satisfy its obligations with respect to the Management Stockholder Entities’ exercise of their rights under Section 5(a) by delivering to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity a note with a principal amount equal to the amount payable under this Section 5 that was not paid in cash, having terms acceptable to the Company’s (and its Affiliate’s, as applicable) lenders and permitted under the Company’s (and its Affiliate’s, as applicable) debt instruments but which in any event (i) shall be mandatorily repayable promptly and to the extent that an Event no longer prohibits the payment of cash to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) shall bear interest at a rate equal to the effective rate of interest in respect of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated subordinated public debt securities (including any original issue discount).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 5 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) a Change in Control, or (ii) the later of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, except for any payment obligation of the Company or transfer obligation of the Management Stockholder Entities which has arisen prior to such termination date.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 5(d), if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety (90) days after the date of the Redemption Notice, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to rescind any Redemption Notice with respect to that portion of the Stock (including Net Settled Stock) repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 5 with the note described above, to the extent such note remains unpaid, and such repurchase shall be rescinded; provided that, upon such rescission, such note shall be immediately canceled without any action on the part of the Company or the Management Stockholder Entities, and notwithstanding anything herein or in such note to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any amounts of principal or interest thereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, the Management Stockholder shall be entitled to the rights set forth in the Special Put Right Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The Company’s Option to Purchase Stock (including Net Settled Stock) and Options of the Management Stockholder Upon Certain Terminations of Employment.

(a) Termination by the Management Stockholder without Good Reason. If, prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated by the Management Stockholder without Good Reason, other than on account of death or Disability (such event, a “Section 6(a) Call Event”), then:

(i) With respect to any Deferred Stock, the Company may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of the shares of such Deferred Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to the Base Price (or, if higher, the Indirect Sale Price);

(ii) With respect to any Option Stock or Net Settled Stock, the Company may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of the shares of such Option Stock or Net Settled Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Option Stock or Net Settled Stock less 20% of the amount, if any, by which such Fair Market Value exceeds exercise price paid for such Option Stock or Net Settled Stock (which exercise price shall be zero with respect to the Net Settled Stock);

(iii) With respect to any outstanding vested Options, upon the occurrence of a Section 6(a) Call Event, the Company shall deem the Management Stockholder Entity to have exercised the outstanding vested Options, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Stock Option Agreement, and be entitled to receive from the Company, on one occasion, Net Settled Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding vested Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entity; and

(iv) With respect to any outstanding unvested Options, all outstanding unvested Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof upon the occurrence of the Section 6(a) Call Event.

For the avoidance of any doubt, the termination of the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) by the Management Stockholder without Good Reason upon or following the second anniversary of the Closing Date shall not constitute a Section 6(a) Call Event with respect to Stock or Options.

(b) Termination for Cause by the Company and other Call Events. If at any time (i) the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated by the Company (or, if applicable, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) for Cause or (ii) within 18 months following any termination of the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company (and/or, if applicable, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), the Management Stockholder engages in a Competing Business (such event under item (ii), a “Section 6(b)(ii) Call Event” and each event described above under items (i) and (ii), a “Section 6(b) Call Event”), then:

(i) With respect to Stock or Net Settled Stock (and in the case of a Section

6(b)(ii) Call Event, with respect to Option Stock only), the Company may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to the lesser of (x) Base Price (or other applicable price paid by such Management Stockholder Entities for such Stock) and (y) the Fair Market Value of the Stock; and

(ii) With respect to any outstanding Options (whether vested or unvested), all outstanding Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof upon the occurrence of the Section 6(b) Call Event.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Management Stockholder engages in a Section 6(b)(ii) Call Event after the Management Stockholder has exercised his or her outstanding Options and/or sold the underlying Option Stock, Section 22(c) shall apply.

(c) Call Notice. The Company shall have a period (the “Call Period”) of ninety (90) days following the later to occur of (A) the date of any Call Event and (B) (i) with respect to Option Stock and Net Settled Stock, the date on which the Management Stockholder Entity has held the Stock most recently acquired to be sold pursuant to this Section 6 for at least six (6) months, or (ii) with respect to Deferred Stock, the date on which the Management Stockholder Entity has held the Stock most recently acquired to be sold pursuant to this Section 6 for at least six (6) months following a termination for any reason other than a termination without Good Reason, in which to give notice in writing to the Management Stockholder of its election to exercise its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 6 (“Repurchase Notice”). The completion of the purchases pursuant to the foregoing shall take place at the principal office of the Company no later than the fifteenth Business Day after the giving of the Repurchase Notice. The applicable Repurchase Price shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased. For purposes of this Section 6, any determination of Fair Market Value shall be made as of the Repurchase Calculation Date.

(d) Use of Note to Satisfy Call Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, if there exists and is continuing any Event, the Company will, to the extent it has exercised its rights to purchase Stock pursuant to this Section 6, in order to complete the purchase of any Stock pursuant to this Section 6, deliver to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (i) a cash payment for any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6 that would not cause an Event and (ii) a note having the same terms as that provided in Section 5(c) above with a principal amount equal to the amount payable but not paid in cash pursuant to this Section 6 due to the Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety (90) days from the date of the Section 6(b) Call Event, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to cause the Company to rescind any Repurchase Notice with respect to that portion of the Stock repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 6 with the note described in the foregoing sentence, to the extent such note remains unpaid; provided that, upon such rescission, such repurchase shall be immediately rescinded and such note shall be immediately canceled without any action on the part of the Company or the Management Stockholder Entities and, notwithstanding anything herein or in such note to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any amounts of principal or interest thereunder.

(e) Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 6 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) a Change in Control, or (ii) the later of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, except for any payment obligation of the Company or transfer obligation of the Management Stockholder Entities which has arisen prior to such termination date.

9. “Piggyback” Registration Rights. Effective after the occurrence of an initial Public Offering:

(a) The Parties agree to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and obligations of the Registration Rights Agreement as they relate to the exercise of piggyback registration rights as provided in Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12 of the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Piggyback Registration Rights”) as in effect on the date hereof (subject, with respect to any such Management Stockholder provided Piggyback Registration Rights, only to any amendments thereto to which such Management Stockholder has agreed in writing to be bound), and, if any member of the Sponsor Group is selling stock, the Management Stockholder shall have all of the rights and privileges of the Piggyback Registration Rights (including, without limitation, the right to participate in the Public Offering and any rights to indemnification and/or contribution from the Company and/or the Sponsor Group), in each case as if the Management Stockholder were an original party (other than the Company) to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to applicable and customary underwriter restrictions; provided, however, that at no time shall the Management Stockholder have any rights to request registration under Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement. All Stock purchased or held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “Registrable Securities” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) In the event of a proposed registration of Common Stock by any member of the Sponsor Group in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will, within ten days after receipt of such demand notice, notify each Management Stockholder in writing (a “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed registration (a “Proposed Registration”), offering, subject to the limitations in this Section 9 and the Registration Rights Agreement, to include in such registration shares of Stock held by such Management Stockholder. If within fifteen (15) days after such Piggyback Notice is given to the Management Stockholder, the Company receives from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities a written request (a “Request”) to include shares of Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities in such registration (which Request will be irrevocable unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder and the Company), subject to subsections 9(c) and (d) below, the Company shall include in such registration (if ultimately completed), shares of Stock properly and timely requested to be included in such Request.

(c) The maximum number of shares of Stock which will be registered pursuant to a Request will be the lowest of (i) the number of shares of Stock then held by the Management Stockholder Entities, including all shares of Stock which the Management

Stockholder Entities are then entitled to acquire under an unexercised Option to the extent then exercisable, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock being registered by holders of Registrable Securities and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by the holders of Registrable Securities or (ii) the maximum number of shares of Stock which the Company can register in connection with such Request in the Proposed Registration without adverse effect on the registration or offering in the view of the managing underwriters (reduced pro rata as more fully described in subsection (d) of this Section 9) and (iii) the maximum number of shares which the Management Stockholder (pro rata based upon the aggregate number of shares of Stock the Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders have requested to be registered) is permitted to register under the Piggyback Registration Rights.

(d) If a Proposed Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its view the total number or dollar amount of shares of Stock proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of shares of Registrable Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting such offering. To the extent that pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement any such reduction in the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwritten offering results in reduction to the number of shares to be registered in such Proposed Registration by the selling holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders and any other Persons who are entitled to piggyback or incidental registration rights in respect of Registrable Securities (together, the “Holders”), the number of shares of Stock included in the Proposed Registration by Holders, shall be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Proposed Registration by each such Holder.

(e) Upon delivering a Request a Management Stockholder having Piggyback Registration Rights pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9 will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney having customary terms and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the shares of Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 9 (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Management Stockholder will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (to the extent applicable) representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management Stockholder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.

(f) The Management Stockholder agrees that he will execute such other agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further evidence the provisions of this Section 9, including reasonable and customary lock-up agreements consistent with the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided that Parent and its Affiliates that own Common Stock in the Company enter into a similar agreement.

(g) This Section 9 will terminate on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change in Control and (ii) with respect to each Management Stockholder, on the date on which such Management Stockholder ceases to own any Registrable Securities.

10. Rights to Negotiate Repurchase Price. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the Company from purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring for value shares of Stock or Options from the Management Stockholder, at any time, upon such terms and conditions, and for such price, as may be mutually agreed upon in writing between the Parties, whether or not at the time of such purchase, redemption or acquisition circumstances exist which specifically grant the Company the right to purchase, or the Management Stockholder the right to sell, shares of Stock or any Options under the terms of this Agreement; provided that no such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be consummated, and no agreement with respect to any such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be entered into, without the prior approval of the Board.

No provision of this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder or with respect hereto.

15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Company at any time; provided that any amendment (i) that materially disadvantages the Management Stockholder shall not be effective unless and until the Management Stockholder has consented thereto in writing and (ii) that disadvantages the Management Stockholders in more than a de minimis way but less than a material way shall require the consent of Management Stockholders holding a majority of the equity interests held by the Management Stockholders.

22. Confidential Information; Covenant Not to Compete; Covenant Not to Solicit.

(a) In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement with the Management Stockholder and hereby promising and committing itself to provide the Management Stockholder with Confidential Information and/or specialized training after the Management Stockholder executes this Agreement, unless there exists any covenant that

pertains to the same subject matter as set forth in this Section 22 in any employment agreement or change in control agreement in effect at the time of termination of employment between the Management Stockholder and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in which case such covenants shall supersede the covenants contained in this Section 22; then the Management Stockholder shall be subject to the covenants contained in this Section 22. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Management Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i) at any time during or after the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, disclose any Confidential Information pertaining to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Sponsor Group or any of their respective Affiliates, except when required to perform his or her duties to the Company or one of its Affiliates, or by law or judicial process, provided that the Management Stockholder gives the Company reasonable notice of any legal or judicial proceeding requiring the Management Stockholder to disclose Confidential Information and an opportunity to challenge the disclosure of any such information, and the Management Stockholder agrees to provide such reasonable notice in writing to:

General Counsel

Energy Future Holdings Corp.

0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx

Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000

(000) 000-0000 (facsimile);

(ii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries and for a period of eighteen months thereafter (the “Non-Compete Period”), directly or indirectly, act as a proprietor, investor, director, officer, employee, substantial stockholder, consultant, or partner in any Competing Business in Texas or any other geographic area in which Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, or the Company operates or conducts business; or

(iii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries and for a period of eighteen months thereafter, directly or indirectly (A) solicit customers or clients of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate their relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise solicit such customers or clients to compete with any business of the Company, or its Subsidiaries, or (B) solicit or offer employment to any person who is, or has been at any time during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the termination of the Management Stockholder’s employment employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

provided that in each of (ii) and (iii) above, such restrictions shall not apply with respect to any member of the Sponsor Group or any of its Affiliates that is not engaged in business that directly or indirectly competes, at the relevant determination date, with one or more of the businesses of the Company, or its Subsidiaries. If the Management Stockholder is bound by any other agreement with the Company regarding the use or disclosure of Confidential Information, the provisions of this Agreement shall be read in such a way as to further restrict and not to permit any more extensive use or disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of Section 22(a)(ii), (A) the Management Stockholder may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment, securities of any Person

engaged in the business of the Company or its Affiliates which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or quotation system or on the over-the-counter market if the Management Stockholder (I) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person and (II) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person, and (B) the Non-Compete Period shall not be triggered by any exercise of tag-along rights under the Sale Participation Agreement or Drag Transaction that may occur after the date hereof.

Because the Management Stockholder’s services are unique and because the Management Stockholder has had access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages will be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement (except with respect to any violation of provisions of Section 22(a)(ii)). In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without the posting of a bond or other security).

(c) In the event that the Management Stockholder engages in activity giving rise to a Section 6(b)(ii) Call Event or breaches any of the provisions of Sections 22(a)(ii) or 22(a)(iii), the Management Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company any amounts actually paid to him or her or otherwise received in respect of any repurchase or disposition of any Options or Option Stock (including Net Settled Stock) held by such Management Stockholder; provided that with respect to Option Stock (including Net Settled Stock), the Management Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company only such amounts, if any, that the Management Stockholder received in excess of the exercise or purchase price paid by the Management Stockholder in acquiring such Stock, on a net after-tax basis; provided further, in the event the Management Stockholder engages in activity giving rise to a Section 6(b)(ii) Call Event (to the extent the provisions of Section 6(b)(iii) are applicable) or breaches any of the provisions of Section 22(a)(ii), the provisions of this Section 22(c) shall be the Company’s sole remedy.

23. Irrevocable Proxy. Subject to and to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas, each Management Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent and any authorized representatives and designees thereof as its lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact to exercise with full power in such Management Stockholder’s name and on its behalf such Management Stockholder’s right to vote all of the shares of outstanding Common Stock owned by the Management Stockholder at any regular or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company for the express purpose of electing any one or more members to the Board or approving any Change in Control transaction or agreement. If voting under such proxy Parent and any authorized representatives and designees thereof shall vote under this proxy on behalf of each such Management Stockholder in the same manner as Parent votes any outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by it at any such regular or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company for the express purpose of electing any one or more members to the Board or approving any Change in Control transaction or agreement. This proxy is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest and shall not be terminable as long as this

Agreement remains effective among the parties hereto, their successors, transferees and assigns and, if such Management Stockholder is a natural person, shall not terminate on the disability or incompetence of such Management Stockholder. The Company is hereby requested and directed to honor this proxy upon its presentation by Parent and any authorized representatives and designees thereof, without any duty of investigation whatsoever on the part of the Company. Each such Management Stockholder agrees that the Company, and the Company’s secretary shall not be liable to such Management Stockholder for so honoring this proxy. This Section 23 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the later of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

With respect to your Deferred Stock, pursuant to the Special Put Right, you shall be entitled to sell and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Deferred Stock then held by you at a per share price equal to the Base Price for such Deferred Stock. In the event that you intend to exercise your Special Put Right, you shall send written notice to the Company of your intention to sell shares of Deferred Stock in exchange for the applicable purchase price (the “Put Option Notice”). The completion of the purchase shall take place at the principal office of the Company no later than the twentieth Business Day (such date to be determined by the Company) after the giving of the Put Option Notice. The applicable purchase price shall be paid by delivery to you of a check payable to the order of you (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if you provide wire instructions to the Company) against delivery of duly executed stock powers transferring the Deferred Stock.

The Special Put Right shall not apply to the terms of your Options or Option Stock or any other Common Stock otherwise acquired and/or held by you; these will be treated as provided under the terms of the Option Plan, the applicable Stock Option Agreement and the Management Stockholder’s Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this letter agreement, all other terms and conditions of each of your Stock Option Agreement and Management Stockholder’s Agreement will remain in full force and effect as provided therein.

By signing below, you and the Company agree to recognize your entitlement to the rights hereunder and that the Management Stockholder’s Agreement referenced above is deemed amended to incorporate the terms of this letter agreement solely to the extent of the subject matter contained herein.

This letter agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any person that is not a party hereto (or its successors, permitted transferees, estate, designated beneficiaries

or assigns) nor create any or establish any third party beneficiary hereto. In the event of any dispute over the terms of this letter agreement, Section 17 of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement shall govern.

This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts.

SALE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

SLT Form

May [ ], 2008

To:

The Person whose name is

set forth on the signature page hereof

Dear Sir or Madam:

Concurrently with entering into this letter agreement, you are entering into a Management Stockholder’s Agreement with Energy Future Holdings Corp., a Texas corporation formerly known as “TXU Corp.” (the “Company”) and Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”) (the “Management Stockholder’s Agreement”) relating to (i) the grant by the Company to you of new options (the “Options”) to purchase shares of Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) the grant by the Company to you of deferred share units (“Deferred Share Units”) representing your right to receive shares of Common Stock at a future time.

Parent hereby agrees with you as follows:

1. (a) In the event that at any time on or after the date hereof (i) Parent or (ii) any member of the Sponsor Group (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) solely to the extent that such member of the Sponsor Group is selling limited partnership units of Parent (“LP Units”) in connection with a sale (or series of related sales) of outstanding LP Units to a transferee that is not an Affiliate of any member of the Sponsor Group and other than such sales (or series of related sales) prior to December 31, 2009 that do not exceed the Indirect Sale Threshold (as defined below) (each a “Selling Entity”) proposes to sell directly for cash or any other consideration (x) in the case of clause (i) any shares of Common Stock owned by Parent and (y) in the case of clause (ii) any LP Units, in any transaction other than a Public Offering (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) or a sale, directly or indirectly, to an Affiliate of Parent, then, unless such Selling Entity is entitled to and does exercise the drag-along rights pursuant to Paragraph 7 below and a Drag Transaction (as defined below) is consummated, Parent will notify you or your Management Stockholder’s Estate or Management Stockholder’s Trust (as such terms are defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement, and collectively with you, the “Management Stockholder Entities”), as the case may be, in writing (a “Notice”) of such proposed sale (a “Proposed Sale”) specifying the principal terms and conditions of the Proposed Sale (the “Material Terms”) including (A) the number of Shares of Common Stock or LP Units proposed to be included in the Proposed Sale, (B) the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock or LP Units at the time the Notice is given that is represented by the number of shares of Common Stock or LP Units proposed to be included in the Proposed Sale, (C) the price per share of Common Stock subject to the Proposed Sale (where the event

triggering the Notice is a sale of LP Units, such price per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be equal to the price per LP Unit subject to the proposed sale, subject to equitable adjustment for stock or unit dividends or splits, recapitalizations or similar events), including a description of any pricing formulae and of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit the valuation thereof, (D) the Tag Along Sale Percentage (as defined below) of the Selling Entity and (E) the name and address of the Person (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) to whom the Common Stock or LP Units is proposed to be sold.

“Indirect Sale Threshold” means (1) prior to December 31, 2008, any sales of LP Units that, together with prior sales of LP Units to a transferee that is not an Affiliate of any member of the Sponsor Group, are of less than 50% of the LP Units, and that are at a cash price of less than 120% of the Base Price, and (2) from December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2009, any sales of LP Units that, together with other sales of LP Units from December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2009 to a transferee that is not an Affiliate of any member of the Sponsor Group, are of less than 20% of the LP Units, and that for all such sales prior to December 31, 2009 under clause (1) and this clause (2) are less than 50% of the LP Units in the aggregate, and that are at a cash price of less than 120% of the Base Price.

(b) If, within 10 Business Days after the delivery of Notice under Paragraph 1(a), Parent receives from a Management Stockholder Entity a written request (a “Request”) to include Common Stock held by such Management Stockholder Entity in the Proposed Sale (which Request shall be irrevocable except (a) as set forth in clauses (c) and (d) of this Paragraph 1 below or (b) if otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder Entity and Parent), the Common Stock held by such Management Stockholder Entities plus (i) all shares of Common Stock which you are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of Options, to the extent such Option is then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale, and (ii) all shares of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Share Units that are deliverable to you as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale (not in any event, other than as provided for below in Paragraph 2(a) in respect of the first (if any) Proposed Sale of LP Units that exceeds the Indirect Sale Threshold, to exceed the Tag Along Sale Percentage of the Selling Entity multiplied by the total number of shares of Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities in the aggregate, including all shares of Common Stock which you are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of Options, to the extent such Option is then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale, and all shares of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Share Units) will be so included as provided herein. Promptly after the execution of the definitive sale agreement, if any, for such Proposed Sale (the “Sale Agreement”), Parent will furnish each Management Stockholder Entity with a copy of the Sale Agreement, if any. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Tag Along Sale Percentage” shall mean the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock or LP Units, as applicable, to be purchased from the Selling Entity by the total number of shares of Common Stock or LP Units, as applicable, owned directly by the Selling Entity.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any of the economic terms of the Proposed Sale change, including without limitation if the per share price will be less than the per share price disclosed in the Notice, or any of the other principal terms or conditions will be materially less favorable to the selling Management

Stockholder Entities than those described in the Notice, Parent will provide written notice thereof to each Management Stockholder Entity who has made a Request and each such Management Stockholder Entity will then be given an opportunity to withdraw the offer contained in such holder’s Request (by providing prompt (and in any event within five (5) Business Days; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proposed closing with respect to the Proposed Sale is to occur within five (5) Business Days or less, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to such closing) written notice of such withdrawal to Parent), whereupon such withdrawing Management Stockholder Entity will be released from all obligations thereunder.

(d) If the Selling Entity does not complete the Proposed Sale by the end of the 120th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Notice, each selling Management Stockholder Entity may elect on or prior to such date to be released on and after such date from all obligations under the applicable Request by notifying Parent and any Selling Entity (if not Parent) in writing of its desire to so withdraw. Upon receipt of that withdrawal notice, the Notice of the relevant Management Stockholder Entity shall be null and void, and it will then be necessary for a separate Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Proposed Sale pursuant to this Paragraph 1, unless the failure to complete such Proposed Sale resulted from any failure by any selling Management Stockholder Entity to comply with the terms of this Paragraph 1.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 1, the Selling Entity may, in its sole discretion, decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon the Proposed Sale and the terms and conditions thereof. None of the Company, the Selling Entities or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to any Management Stockholder Entity arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any such Proposed Sale.

2. (a) The number of shares of Common Stock that you will be permitted to include in a Proposed Sale pursuant to a Request will be the lesser of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock that you have offered to sell in the Proposed Sale as set forth in the Request and (B) the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or LP Units, as applicable, to be included in the Proposed Sale multiplied by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by you plus all shares of Common Stock which you are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of Options, to the extent such Option is then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale plus all shares of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Share Units, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by you and all other Persons participating in such sale as tag-along sellers pursuant to Other Management Stockholders Agreements (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) or other agreements (all such other participants, the “Tag Along Sellers”) plus the total number of shares of Common Stock which you and such Tag Along Sellers are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of Options, to the extent such Options are then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale, plus the total number of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Share Units held by you and such Tag Along Sellers, plus all shares of Common Stock or LP Units, as applicable, owned by Parent; provided, that in

the case of either of (A) or (B) above, for the first (if any) Proposed Sale of LP Units that exceeds the Indirect Sale Threshold, the number of shares of Common Stock you will be permitted to include shall be increased by the number of shares of Common Stock that you would have been entitled to include in all prior sales of LP Units that would have been Proposed Sales if they had exceeded the Indirect Sale Threshold, calculated as if those sales of LP Units had exceeded the Indirect Sale Threshold and were subject to these tag-along provisions. Each Tag Along Seller shall be permitted to conditionally exercise then-exercisable Options such that if the Proposed Sale in not consummated, such exercise shall be void and such Options shall remain exercisable on the same terms and conditions as prior to such conditional exercise.

(b) If one or more Tag Along Sellers elect not to include the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which such Tag Along Seller would have been permitted to include in a Proposed Sale pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) (such non-included shares, the “Eligible Shares”), then you and each of the remaining Tag Along Sellers, or any of them, will have the right to sell in the Proposed Sale a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to your pro rata portion of the number of Eligible Shares, based on the relative number of shares of Common Stock then held by you and each such Tag Along Seller plus all shares of Common Stock which you and such Tag Along Seller are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of the Option, to the extent such Option is then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale, plus the total number of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Share Units held by you and such Tag Along Sellers. Such additional shares of Common Stock which you and such Tag Along Seller propose to sell shall not be included in any calculation made pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) for the purpose of determining the number of shares of Common Stock which you will be permitted to include in a Proposed Sale. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Selling Entity will have the right to sell in the Proposed Sale additional shares of Common Stock or LP Units, as applicable, owned by it equal to the number, if any, of the total remaining Eligible Shares, which will not be included in any calculation made pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) for the purpose of determining the number of shares of Common Stock which you will be permitted to include in a Proposed Sale.

3. Except as may otherwise be provided herein, shares of Common Stock subject to a Request will be included in a Proposed Sale pursuant hereto and in any agreements with purchasers relating thereto on the same terms and subject to the same conditions applicable to the shares of Common Stock or LP Units which the Selling Entity proposes to sell in the Proposed Sale. Such terms and conditions shall include, without limitation: the sale price; the payment of fees, commissions and expenses; the provision of, and customary representations and warranties as to, information reasonably requested by the Selling Entity covering matters regarding the Management Stockholder Entities’ ownership of shares; and the provision of requisite indemnification; provided that any indemnification provided by the Management Stockholder Entities shall be pro rata in proportion with the number of shares of Common Stock or LP units to be sold; provided, further, that no Management Stockholder Entity shall be required to (x) indemnify any Person for an amount, in the aggregate, in excess of the gross proceeds received in such Proposed Sale, or (y) agree to any non-compete or non-solicit provisions that are more restrictive than such similar agreement between the Company and the applicable Management Stockholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the consideration payable for shares of Common Stock is securities and the acquisition of such securities by a Management Stockholder Entity would reasonably be expected to be prohibited under U.S.,

foreign or state securities laws, such Management Stockholder Entity shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of any such securities such Person would otherwise be entitled to receive.

4. Upon delivering a Request, the Management Stockholder Entities will, if requested by Parent, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent with respect to the shares of Common Stock which are to be sold by the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant hereto (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will contain customary provisions and will provide, among other things, that the Management Stockholder Entities will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (if such shares are certificated) representing such shares of Common Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the Management Stockholder Entities’ agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management Stockholder Entities’ behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.

5. Your right pursuant hereto to participate in a Proposed Sale shall be contingent on your material compliance with each of the provisions hereof and your willingness to execute such documents in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Selling Entity.

6. If the consideration to be paid in exchange for shares of Common Stock in a Proposed Sale pursuant to Paragraph 1 includes any securities, and the receipt thereof by the Selling Entity and a Management Shareholder Entity would require under applicable law (a) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (b) the provision to any selling Management Shareholder Entity of any information regarding the Company, its subsidiaries, such securities or the issuer thereof that would not be required to be delivered in an offering solely to a limited number of “accredited investors” under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder, the Selling Entity and such Management Shareholder Entity shall not, subject to the following sentence, have the right to sell shares of Common Stock in such proposed sale. In such event, the Selling Entity shall have the right to cause to be paid to such selling Management Shareholder Entity in lieu thereof, against surrender of the shares of Common Stock which would have otherwise been sold by such selling Management Shareholder Entity to the prospective buyer in the proposed sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) of such shares of Common Stock as of the date such securities would have been issued in exchange for such shares of Common Stock.

7. (a) If any Selling Entity that directly owns shares of Common Stock or LP Units proposes to transfer, directly or indirectly (whether by means of a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, sale, transfer or otherwise), a number of shares of Common Stock or LP Units equal to 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock or LP Units, as applicable (such Person, the “Drag-Along Purchaser”), then if requested by such Selling Entity, each Management Stockholder Entity shall be required to sell a number of shares of Common

Stock equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities (including shares of Common Stock underlying exercisable Options and Deferred Share Units) multiplied by the Tag Along Sale Percentage (such transaction, a “Drag Transaction”).

(b) Shares of Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities included in a Drag Transaction will be included in any agreements with the Drag-Along Purchaser relating thereto on the same terms and subject to the same conditions applicable to the shares of Common Stock or LP Units, as applicable, which the Drag-Along Purchaser proposes to sell in the Drag Transaction. Such terms and conditions shall include, without limitation: the pro rata reduction of the number of shares of Common Stock or LP Units to be sold by the Drag-Along Purchaser and the Management Stockholder Entities to be included in the Drag Transaction if required by the Drag-Along Purchaser; the sale price; the payment of fees, commissions and expenses; the provision of, and representation and warranty as to, information reasonably requested by the Drag-Along Purchaser covering matters regarding the Management Stockholder Entities’ ownership of shares of Common Stock; and the provision of requisite indemnification; provided that any indemnification provided by the Management Stockholder Entities shall be pro rata in proportion with the number of shares of Common Stock or LP Units to be sold; provided, further, that no Management Stockholder Entity shall be required to (x) indemnify any Person for an amount, in the aggregate, in excess of the gross proceeds received in such Proposed Sale, or (y) agree to any non-compete or non-solicit provisions that are more restrictive than such similar agreement between the Company and the applicable Management Stockholder.

(c) Your pro rata share of any amount to be paid pursuant to Paragraph 3 or 7(b) shall be based upon the number of shares of Common Stock intended to be transferred by the Management Stockholder Entities plus the number of shares of Common Stock you would have the right to acquire under any unexercised portion of the Option which is then vested or would become vested as a result of the Proposed Sale or Drag Transaction, assuming that you receive a payment in respect of such Option.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the consideration payable to Management Stockholder Entities for shares of Common Stock is securities and the acquisition of such securities by a Management Stockholder Entity would reasonably be expected to be prohibited under U.S., foreign or state securities laws, such Management Stockholder Entity shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of any such securities such Person would otherwise be entitled to receive.

8. The obligations of Parent hereunder shall extend only to you and your transferees (“Permitted Transferees”) who (a) are party to a Stockholder’s Agreement with the Company and (b) have acquired Common Stock pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of a Permitted Transfer (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement), and none of the Management Stockholder Entities’ successors or assigns, with the exception of any Permitted Transferee and only with respect to the Common Stock acquired by such Permitted Transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, shall have any rights pursuant hereto.

9. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the occurrence of the earlier of (A) the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) and (B) the later of the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and a Change in Control (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement).

10. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next Business Day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or (d) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to such party’s address as set forth below or at such other address or to such other person as the party shall have furnished to each other party in writing in accordance with this provision:

Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator; provided that if the Management Stockholder substantially prevails on any of his or her substantive legal claims, Parent shall reimburse all legal fees and arbitration fees incurred by the Management Stockholder to arbitrate the dispute. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any right that it may have had to bring an action in any court, domestic or foreign, or before any similar domestic or foreign authority with respect to this Agreement.

15. Capitalized terms used by not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement.

Exhibit IV

Paragraph 1. In the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or distribution (or combination thereof) by the Company, any of its affiliates, or one or more trusts established by the Company or any of its affiliates for the benefit of their employees, to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise) (a “Payment”) is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and the Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

Paragraph 2. All determinations required to be made under this Exhibit IV, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by Deloitte & Touche LLP, Xxxxxxx & Marsal, or such other nationally recognized accounting firm as may be designated by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within ten (10) business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company; provided that for purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rates applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made and deemed to pay state and local income taxes at the highest effective rates applicable to individuals in the state or locality of Executive’s residence or place of employment in the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes, taking into account limitations applicable to individuals subject to federal income tax at the highest marginal rates. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Exhibit IV, shall be paid by the Company to Executive (or to the appropriate taxing authority on Executive’s behalf) when due. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it shall so indicate to Executive in writing. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive (subject to Paragraph 3). As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code, it is possible that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment determined by the Accounting Firm to be due to (or on behalf of) Executive was lower than the amount actually due (“Underpayment”). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Paragraph 3 of Exhibit IV and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred, and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (but in any case no later than the calendar year following the calendar year in which such tax was payable).

Paragraph 3. Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company, (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 3, the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and xxx for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one (1) or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and xxx for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; provided, further, that if Executive is required to extend the statute of limitations to enable the Company to contest such claim, Executive may limit this extension solely to such contested amount. The Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

Paragraph 4. If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount paid or advanced by the Company pursuant to this Exhibit IV, Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to a Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Paragraph 3 of this Exhibit IV) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund received (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Paragraph 3 of this Exhibit IV, a determination is made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim, and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to

contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid, and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

Paragraph 5. For the avoidance of doubt, all payments to or for the benefit of Executive provided for in this Exhibit IV shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year in which the applicable Excise Tax has become due, or if as a result a tax audit or litigation, it is determined that no additional Excise Tax has become due, the end of the calendar year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and non-appealable settlement or other resolution.
