(e) On January 8, 2015, Forestar Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Separation Agreement and Release of All Claims (the “Agreement”) with Flavious A. Smith, Jr., former Chief Oil and Gas Officer of the Company. Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Smith $1 million in January 2015 and approximately $1 million on January 30, 2016 (both such payments subject to applicable tax withholdings and Mr. Smith’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement) and Mr. Smith agreed to release all rights, title and interest in all outstanding and unexercised equity awards previously granted to Mr. Smith by the Company, to release all claims against the Company, its officers, directors and affiliates, and to provide consulting services at the request of the Company (but not to exceed ten hours per week) until June 8, 2015 to facilitate the transition of his duties and responsibilities and the continued operations of the Company. Until January 15, 2015, Mr. Smith may revoke the Agreement, in which case the Agreement would have no effect and the Company would not be obligated to make the payments. If Mr. Smith does not revoke the Agreement on or before January 15, 2015, the Agreement will remain in effect. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
