“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” ~John C. Maxwell
With prevailing assurances, Management is also invited to cede their contractural protections. Lead by example, go the way you ask of your followers.

SCHEDULE 14A
Effective Date 6/14/2012
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control:
The Parker Agreement also provides for certain change in control and severance benefits, as described more fully below.
This section describes payments that would be made to our named executive officers upon a change in control of the Company or following a qualifying termination of employment. In the first part of this section, we describe benefits under general plans that apply to any executive officer participating in those plans. We then describe specific benefits to which each named executive officer is entitled, along with estimated amounts of benefits assuming termination and/or a change in control as of December 31, 2011 for specified reasons.
Executive Change in Control Agreements for Messrs. Kirby, Isom, Johnson and Kerr
Messrs. Kirby, Isom, Johnson and Kerr have each entered into our form of Executive Change in Control Agreement, effective as of November 28, 2007 or, in the case of Mr. Johnson, when he joined the Company on March 16, 2009. These agreements have an initial term of two years and automatically renew for successive two year terms unless we provide at least 180 days advance written notice to the executive. These agreements provide benefits to the executives upon a termination of employment, by us for any reason other than “misconduct” or disability or by the executive with “good reason,” in each case within 24 months following a “change in control” (each as defined in the Executive Change in Control Agreements) or, subject to certain conditions described below, prior to a change in control in contemplation of that change in control.
