EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10(h)

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated May 9, 2008 is made by and between ENERGY FUTURE HOLDINGS CORP. (the “Company”) and XXXXXX X. XXXXXXX (the “Executive”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive and Executive desires to accept such employment commencing on the Effective Date (as defined herein); and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Agreement establishing certain terms and conditions related to Executive’s employment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and obligations contained herein, 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 March 24, 2008 (“Effective Date”) and shall continue until the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, the Initial Term shall be extended as follows: (i) this Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional one (1) year period commencing immediately following the last day of the Initial Term and each one (1) year period thereafter (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless, the Company or Executive provides the other party written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the applicable term. The period during which Executive is employed by the Company hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Term”.

2. Positions.

a. During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Company. In such position, Executive shall have such duties, authority and responsibilities as shall be determined from time to time by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), which duties, authority and responsibilities shall be customary for Executive’s position in a business of a similar size, type and nature to that of the Company. Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company with respect to his responsibilities to the Company.

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 and Sign On Bonus. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary at the annual rate of $575,000, 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”. Additionally, Executive shall be entitled to a $100,000 sign on bonus less applicable withholdings and deductions, payable on or before Executive’s second pay period of employment.

4. Annual Bonus. With respect to each full fiscal year during the Employment Term, 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 for 2008 shall not be prorated and shall be paid as if Executive was employed for the entire 2008 fiscal year. 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, the Company shall grant Executive an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock (“Common Stock”) on terms and conditions set forth in the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit I (such award, the “Option Award”). The Option 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. For purposes of eligibility to receive retiree medical benefits under any retiree medical benefit plan or program of the Company, Executive shall be deemed eligible for such benefits upon retirement at anytime after reaching age 55, so long as Executive has completed five (5) years of service with the Company following the Effective Date; provided that in all other respects Executive shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any such retiree medical plan (including with respect to any requirement for employee contributions).

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.

d. In an effort to compensate Executive with respect to retirement benefits he will be foregoing by joining the Company, Executive will be entitled to a lump sum cash payment (the “Retirement Payment”) on the anniversary of the date of grant of the Option Award which occurs in 2015 (the “Retirement Payment Date”) in an amount equal to $2 million plus interest thereon compounded monthly from January 1, 2013 to the Retirement Payment Date at the prime rate in effect on such date plus one percentage point. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will not be entitled to the Retirement Payment if, and only if, any of the following are true: (i) the present value as of the Effective date of the sum of all Option Proceeds, as defined below, received by Executive prior to the Retirement Payment Date exceeds $9 million, (ii) prior to the end of the Initial Term, Executive voluntarily resigns from the Company without Good Reason, or (iii) prior to the Retirement Payment Date, Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause. For purposes of the foregoing, “Option Proceeds” shall equal the sum of all cash proceeds received by Executive (prior to the reduction for any withholding taxes) in respect of the Option Award or the underlying shares of Common Stock (including cash dividends or dividend equivalents) less any exercise price paid by Executive, provided that in calculating the Option Proceeds, if the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option Award (or shares of an acquiring entity into which such shares are converted) become publicly traded, Executive will be deemed to have exercised the Option Award and immediately sold the shares received upon such exercise for cash as and when the Option Award first becomes exercisable and underlying shares can be resold without restriction upon or following the date the shares become publicly traded.

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. The Employment Term and 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 the Company and its Affiliates (as defined in Section 8(c) below).

a. By the Company For Cause or By Executive Due to Voluntary Resignation Without Good Reason.

(i) The Employment Term and 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 the Company and Executive; and

(E) any amounts payable or that may become payable pursuant to Section 7(e)(ii) and Section 9(g) (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), Section 5(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.

(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 or Death.

(i) The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s death and may be terminated by the Company if Executive has a Disability as hereinafter defined. Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for either Disability or death, 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, except as set forth in this Section 7(b)(i), Section 5(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.

(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; Resignation by Executive for Good Reason. The Employment Term and 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 (except as otherwise provided in Section 7(e)), 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 the Company, its subsidiaries and its stockholders (excluding claims for indemnification, claims for coverage under officer and director policies, and claims as a stockholder of the Company):

(A) for a termination occurring on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, 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; or

(B) for a termination occurring after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, a lump sum payment of an amount equal to: (1) two (2) times Executive’s Base Salary, (2) the Pro-Rata Bonus, and (3) the matching contributions which would have been made on behalf of Executive pursuant to the Company’s Salary Deferral Program had Executive continued his participation in such plan as in effect on the date of such termination for an additional twelve (12) months, 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.

(C) 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)(ii)(C) during a period of time during which, in the absence of the benefits provided in this Section 7(c)(ii)(C), Executive would not otherwise be entitled to continuation coverage under Section 4980B of 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, except as set forth in this Section 7(c) or otherwise provided in Section 7(e), Section 5(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. Expiration of Employment Term.

(i) In the event Executive elects not to extend the Employment Term pursuant to Section 1, unless Executive’s employment is earlier terminated pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), or (e) of this Section 7, the Employment Term shall expire and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate on the close of business on the day immediately preceding the commencement of a subsequent Renewal Term, and Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights and the rights set forth in Section 7(d)(ii) below.

(ii) In the event the Company elects not to extend the Employment Term pursuant to Section 1, unless Executive’s employment is earlier terminated pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), or (e) of this Section 7, the Employment Term shall expire and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate on the close of business on the day immediately preceding the commencement of a subsequent Renewal Term, and Executive shall be entitled to receive the payments and benefits applicable to a termination of Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 7(c) or Section 7(e), as applicable. Except as set forth in this Section 7(d)(ii), Section 5(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.

e. Change in Control; Section 4999.

(i) Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or if Executive resigns for Good Reason, in either case, within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control (as defined in the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees of Energy Future Holdings Corp. and its Affiliates), Executive shall be entitled to receive:

(A) the Accrued Rights;

(B) 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 the Company, its subsidiaries and its stockholders (excluding claims for indemnification, claims for coverage under officer and director policies, and claims as a stockholder of the Company), a lump sum payment equal to two 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; and

(C) 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 the Company, its subsidiaries and its stockholders (excluding claims for indemnification, claims for coverage under officer and director policies, and claims as a stockholder of the Company), 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) termination of 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(e)(i)(C) during a period of time during which, in the absence of the benefits provided in this Section 7(e)(i)(C) Executive would not otherwise be entitled to continuation coverage under Section 4980B of 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.

(ii) Section 4999. 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 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 to seek such approval, in which case the Company will use its 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 to seek such approval, or if Executive does cause the Company 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.

Following Executive’s termination of employment without Cause (other than by reason of Executive’s death or Disability) or upon Executive’s resignation for Good Reason, in either case, within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, except as set forth in this Section 7(e), Section 5(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.

f. 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 the Company entering into this Agreement with Executive and hereby promising and committing itself 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 the Company, the Sponsor Group, or any of their respective Affiliates, except when required to perform his duties to the Company or one of its 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:

Chief Executive Officer

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 (excluding any services Executive performs as an attorney), or partner in any Competing Business in Texas or any other geographic area in which Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership, 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 the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate their relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates or otherwise solicit such customers or clients to compete with any business of the Company or any of its 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 the Company or any of its 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 the Company 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 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 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, 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). 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 the Company (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.

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 the Company and/or its 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 expressly set forth herein.

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 Company’s obligation 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 the Company or its Affiliates. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment and, except as expressly provided herein, no amount payable hereunder shall be reduced by any payments or benefits received from such subsequent employment.

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).

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.

(c) Notwithstanding any of Section 3.1(a) above, upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, subject to the Optionee’s employment on the date of the 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).

Key Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement to be entered into by and between the Company and the Management Stockholder on or about the date hereof (the “Stock Option Agreement”);

NOW THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Issuance of Purchased Shares and New Options.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company shall issue the Purchased Shares to the Management Stockholder.

(c) The Company shall have no obligation to sell any Common Stock to any person who is a resident or citizen of a state or other jurisdiction in which the sale of the Common Stock to him or her would constitute a violation of the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdiction.

2. Management Stockholder’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

(a) The Management Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that he will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (any of the foregoing acts being referred to herein as a “transfer”) any of the Purchased Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options (“Option Stock”; together with all Purchased Shares and any other Common Stock otherwise acquired and/or held by the Management Stockholder Entities as of or after the date hereof, “Stock”), except as provided in this Section 2(a) below and Section 3 hereof. If the Management Stockholder is an Affiliate of the Company, the Management Stockholder also agrees and acknowledges that he or she will not transfer any shares of the Stock unless:

(i) the transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder (the “Act”), and in compliance with applicable provisions of state securities laws; or

(ii) (A) counsel for the Management Stockholder (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion or other advice, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Act and (B) if the Management Stockholder is a citizen or resident of any country other than the United States, or the Management Stockholder desires to effect any transfer in any such country, counsel for the Management Stockholder (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion or other advice reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company to the effect that such transfer will comply with the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any of the following transfers of Stock are deemed to be in compliance with the Act and this Agreement (including without limitation any restrictions or prohibitions herein), and no opinion of counsel is required in connection therewith: (1) a transfer made pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5, 6

or 9 hereof, (2) a transfer (x) upon the death or Disability of the Management Stockholder to the Management Stockholder’s Estate or (y) to the executors, administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees, immediate family members or beneficiaries of a person who has become a holder of Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that it is expressly understood that any such transferee shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and if requested such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof as a “Management Stockholder” with respect to the representations and warranties and other obligations of this Agreement, (3) a transfer made after the Closing Date in compliance with the federal securities laws to a Management Stockholder’s Trust; provided that such transfer is made expressly subject to this Agreement and that the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof as a “Management Stockholder” with respect to the representations and warranties and other obligations of this Agreement; and provided further that it is expressly understood and agreed that if such Management Stockholder’s Trust at any point includes any person or entity other than the Management Stockholder, his spouse (or ex-spouse) or his lineal descendants (including adopted children) such that it fails to meet the definition thereof as set forth in Section 7(b) hereof, such transfer shall no longer be deemed in compliance with this Agreement and shall be subject to 3(c) below and (4) a transfer made by the Management Stockholder, with the Board’s approval, to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

(c) The Management Stockholder acknowledges that he has been advised that (i) the Stock is characterized as “restricted securities” under the Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a Public Offering and that under the Act (including applicable regulations) the Stock may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances, (ii) a restrictive legend in the form heretofore set forth shall be placed on the certificates (if any) representing the Stock and (iii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company indicating that the Stock is subject to restrictions on transfer and appropriate stop transfer restrictions will be issued to the Company’s transfer agent with respect to the Stock.

time of such disposition such documentation as the Company may reasonably request in connection with such sale and take any actions reasonably requested by the Coordination Committee prior to any such sale (provided that such instructions shall not have a disproportionate adverse impact on any Management Stockholder vis-à-vis any other stockholders of the Company or limited partners of Parent) and, in the case of a disposition pursuant to Rule 144, shall deliver to the Company an executed copy of any notice on Form 144 required to be filed with the SEC.

(e) The Management Stockholder represents and warrants that (i) with respect to the Stock, the Management Stockholder has received and reviewed the available information relating to such Stock, including a Preliminary Confidential Private Placement Memorandum and any supplements thereto, including having received and reviewed the documents related thereto, certain of which documents set forth the rights, preferences and restrictions relating to the Options and the Stock underlying the Options and (ii) the Management Stockholder has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information and documents, the Company and the business and prospects of the Company which the Management Stockholder deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks related to the Management Stockholder’s investment in the Stock and to verify the information contained in the information received as indicated in this Section 2(e), and the Management Stockholder has relied solely on such information.

(f) The Management Stockholder further represents and warrants that (i) the Management Stockholder’s financial condition is such that the Management Stockholder can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Stock for an indefinite period of time and has adequate means for providing for the Management Stockholder’s current needs and personal contingencies, (ii) the Management Stockholder can afford to suffer a complete loss of his or her investment in the Stock, (iii) the Management Stockholder understands and has taken cognizance of all risk factors related to the purchase of the Stock, (iv) the Management Stockholder’s (taken with such Management Stockholder’s representatives’) knowledge and experience in financial and business matters are such that the Management Stockholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Management Stockholder’s purchase of the Stock as contemplated by this Agreement, (v) the Stock is being acquired by the Management Stockholder for his or her own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Act, and the Management Stockholder has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Stock in violation of the Act, and (vi) at the time of this offering, the Management Stockholder is (a) “an accredited investor”¹ within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act that is willing and able to conduct an independent investigation of the risks of investing in the Company and (b) an employee, director or officer of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

3. Transferability of Stock.

(a) The Management Stockholder agrees that he or she will not transfer any shares of Stock at any time during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that during such period, the Management Stockholder may transfer shares of Stock pursuant to one of the following exceptions: (i) transfers permitted by Sections 5 or 6; (ii) transfers permitted by clauses (2) and (3) of Section 2(a); (iii) a sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 9; (iv) transfers permitted pursuant to the Sale Participation Agreement; (v) transfers permitted by the Board or (vi) transfers to Parent or its designee (any such exception, a “Permitted Transfer”); provided, further, that following the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, if the Selling Entities (as defined in the Sale Participation Agreement) transfer, directly for cash or any other consideration any shares of Common Stock owned by any such Selling Entity (other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or to an Affiliate or to another limited partner in Parent), the Management Stockholder shall be entitled to transfer (without giving effect to any restrictions included above in this Section 3(a)) a number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Management Stockholder would have been able to transfer in such sale pursuant to Section 2 of the Sale Participation Agreement had it occurred prior to a Qualified Public Offering.

(b) No transfer of any such shares in violation hereof shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company and any such transfer shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

(c) No transfer of any shares of Stock shall be permitted or effected if such transfer would cause the Company to be required to register the Common Stock pursuant to Section 12(g)(1) of the Exchange Act.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent may, at any time and from time to time, waive the restrictions on transfers contained in Section 3(a), whether such waiver is made prior to or after the transferee has effected or committed to effect the transfer, or has notified the Sponsor Group of such transfer or commitment to transfer. Any transfers made pursuant to such waiver or which are later made subject to such a waiver shall, as of the date of the waiver and at all times thereafter, not be deemed to violate any applicable restrictions on transfers contained in this Agreement.

4. 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.

(5)

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 fifth 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 of the Purchased Shares, the Company may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of the Purchased Shares 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 fifth 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 Purchased Shares, 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.

7. Adjustment of Repurchase Price; Definitions.

(a) Adjustment of Repurchase Price. In determining the applicable repurchase price of the Stock and Options, as provided for in Sections 5 and 6, above, appropriate adjustments shall be made for any stock dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations or any other adjustment in the number of outstanding shares of Stock in order to maintain, as nearly as practicable, the intended operation of the provisions of Sections 5 and 6.

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”).

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.

(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 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.

SPECIAL PUT RIGHT AGREEMENT

May , 2008

Re:

Special Put Right for Senior Leadership Team

Dear Sir or Madam:

On the date hereof, you, Energy Future Holdings Corp., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”) entered into that certain Management Stockholder’s Agreement (the “Management Stockholder’s Agreement”). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement.

Solely for purposes of your Management Stockholder’s Agreement, if you terminate your employment with the Company or one of its Affiliates for any reason (other than Cause) on or prior to July 29, 2008 (the “Period End Date”), you will be entitled to resell your Purchased Shares to the Company during the sixty (60) day period following any such termination (the “Special Put Right”); provided, however, in no event shall any Special Put Right extend beyond the Period End Date, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you shall not have the Special Put Right if the Company terminates your employment for Cause.

With respect to your Purchased Shares, 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 Purchased Shares then held by you at a per share price equal to the Base Price for such Purchased Shares. 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 the Purchased Shares 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 Purchased Shares.

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.

Exhibit III

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 purchase by you of shares (the “Purchased Stock”) of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) the grant by the Company to you of new options (the “Options”) to purchase shares of Common Stock.

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 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 (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) 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, 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 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 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) 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:

12. The laws of the State of Texas shall govern the interpretation, validity and performance of the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any controversy among the parties hereto arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement which cannot be settled amicably by the parties, such controversy shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by mandatory arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules, by a single independent arbitrator. Such arbitration process shall take place in Dallas, Texas. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties hereto and shall be rendered pursuant to a written decision, which contains a detailed recital of the arbitrator’s

reasoning. 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.

13. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

14. This Agreement may be amended by Parent at any time upon notice to the Management Stockholder thereof; 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.

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

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.
