The Company agrees to employ the Executive as Chairman of the Board of the Company for the duration of the Employment Term (as defined in Section 2 below), to render such services and to perform such duties as are normally associated with and inherent in the executive capacity in which the Executive will be serving, as well as such other duties, which are not inconsistent with the Executive’s position with the Company, as shall from time to time reasonably be assigned to him by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”).

          1.2 Extent of Service. The Executive agrees to render the services required of him under Section 1.1. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote his full business time, attention and energy to the business of the Company and the performance of his duties under this Agreement. The foregoing shall not, however, prohibit the Executive from making and managing personal investments, or from engaging in civic or charitable activities, that do not materially impair the performance of his duties under this Agreement. If appointed or elected, as applicable, the Executive also shall serve during all or any part of the Employment Term as any other officer and/or as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, without any additional compensation other than that specified in this Agreement.

          1.3 Place of Performance. The Executive shall be based in the Houston Metropolitan Area, and nothing in this Agreement shall require the Executive to relocate his base of employment or principal place of residence from the Houston Metropolitan Area.

     2. Employment Term. The term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Employment Term”) shall commence on January 1, 2006 (the “Commencement Date”), and shall expire on December 31, 2007 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended by the Company or earlier terminated as herein provided. At the end of the Employment Term, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed year to year thereafter, unless (a) Employee’s employment has been terminated prior to such day, or (b) not later than 60 days prior to such day, either party to this Agreement shall have given written notice to the other party that he or it does not wish to extend further the Termination Date (and the Employment Term).

     3.Compensation and Other Benefits.

          3.1 Annual Salary. As compensation for services to be rendered under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive a salary (the “Annual Salary”), subject to such increases as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, approve, at a rate of $245,000.00 per annum. The Executive shall also be eligible, during the Employment Term, to receive such other compensation, whether in the form of cash bonuses, incentive compensation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards or otherwise (collectively, the “Additional Compensation”), as the Board of Directors (or any committee of the Board) may, in its discretion, approve. The Annual Salary and the Additional Compensation shall be payable in accordance with the applicable payroll and/or other compensation policies and plans of the Company as in effect from time to time during the Employment Term, less such deductions as shall be required to be withheld by applicable law and regulations.

          3.2 Participation in Employee Benefit Plans. The Executive shall be permitted, during the Employment Term, if and to the extent he is and continues to meet all applicable eligibility requirements, to participate in any group life, hospitalization or disability insurance plan, health program, pension plan, similar benefit plan or other “fringe benefits” of the Company, which may be available to all other similarly situated members of the Company’s management on generally the same terms.

          3.3 Executive Support. The Company shall provide to the Executive office facilities, furniture, and equipment, secretarial and support personnel and other management level support services as the Executive shall reasonably require in connection with his performance of his duties under this Agreement.

The Executive agrees to aid the Company in procuring such insurance by submitting to reasonable medical examinations and by filling out, executing and delivering such applications and other instruments in writing as may reasonably be required by an insurance company or companies to which any application or applications for insurance may be made by or for the Company.
