WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to that certain employment agreement entered into by and between the Company and Executive dated 28^th February, 2015 (the “Prior Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive, and Executive desires to be employed by the Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, which shall supersede the Prior Employment Agreement in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Term and Employment Period. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until December 31, 2022 (the “Initial Term”), provided, however, that the term of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall be automatically extended for additional one (1) year periods commencing on the first day immediately following the expiration of the Initial Term and successively thereafter on the first day immediately following the expiration of each such one (1) year period (each such period, an “Additional Term”) unless either the Company or the Executive shall have given notice to the other that it or the Executive, as applicable, does not desire to extend the Initial Term or any Additional Term, such notice to be given at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the applicable Additional Term (the Initial Term and any Additional Terms, if applicable, collectively, the “Employment Period”). As of the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede the Prior Employment Agreement, as well as any other prior employment agreements between the Company and Executive (except for the agreements referenced in Section 6 hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect), and, as of the Effective Date, the Prior Employment Agreement and any such other employment agreements will become void and will be of no further force or effect.

Section 2. Duties.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood during the Employment Period, subject to any conflict of interest policies of the Company, the Executive may serve in any capacity with any civic, charitable, educational or professional organization provided that such service does not materially interfere with the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.

Section 4. Termination of Employment.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 hereof, the Employment Period shall terminate immediately upon:

(i) the Executive’s death;

(ii) the Executive’s “Incapacity”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Incapacity” means the Executive’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically-determined physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or to be of long-continued and indefinite duration;

(iii) the Executive’s “Misconduct”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Misconduct” means (A) the Executive’s breach of any of the restrictive covenants referenced in Section 6 or any other of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, (B) the Executive’s willful violation of any fiduciary duty or duty of loyalty to the Company, (C) the Executive’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony of moral turpitude, or (D) the Executive’s intentional violation of the Company’s personnel policies;

(v) the Executive’s termination for “Good Reason”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means:

(A) a material breach by the Company of the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Company shall have twenty (20) days to cure any breach after receiving written notice of the breach from the Executive, and provided further that in the event that the Company fails to cure, Executive shall resign within ninety (90) days of the expiration of the twenty-day cure period. No reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary, Annual Incentive Plan target payment opportunity or Long Term Incentive Plan target payment opportunity pursuant to a general salary reduction program instituted by the Company that affects all senior officers of the Company equally on a reduction-in-percentage-of-salary basis shall be considered a breach of this Agreement (or Good Reason);

3

(D) a change of the primary location for the performance of the Executive’s duties to a location not within fifty (50) miles of Houston, Texas, provided that within ninety (90) days of being notified by the Company of the request to relocate in writing, the Executive must provide written notice to the Company that he declines to relocate; provided further, however, that if Executive is offered employment with an affiliate of Company as referenced in Section 4(b) below, a change in Executive’s primary location for the performance of his duties in connection with such employment offer shall not constitute Good Reason; or

(vi) the Executive’s termination without Good Reason.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive and the Company understand and agree that if Executive is offered employment with any affiliate of the Company on reasonably similar terms that Executive shall not be entitled to terminate for “Good Reason” in accordance with Section 4(a)(v), and that any ensuing termination of this Agreement in accordance with such offer of employment shall not constitute a termination of Executive for reasons other than Misconduct as set forth in Section 4(a)(iv).

Section 5. Compensation Upon Termination.

(a) If the Employment Period is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) or by the Executive pursuant to Section 4(a)(v), the Company agrees to:

(i) pay to the Executive all Base Salary earned by him prior to the date of termination and pay the Executive for any earned, but unused, vacation days;

(ii) continue to pay the Executive his Base Salary in accordance with the Company’s payroll procedures for twelve (12) months following the date of termination;

(iv) vest the Executive in any outstanding awards granted pursuant to the Annual Bonus Plan on a pro-rated basis through the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, thereby making the Executive eligible to receive a pro-rated award under any outstanding grants as may be determined by the Company in accordance with the Annual Bonus Plan; and

(v) vest the Executive in any outstanding Performance Units (as such term is defined in any Award Agreements issued under the LTIP) granted in an Award Agreement (as such term is defined in the LTIP) on a pro-rated basis through the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, thereby making the Executive eligible to receive payments for any pro-rated vested Performance Units under outstanding Award Agreements as may be determined by the Company in accordance with the Award Agreement and the LTIP at the conclusion of the respective Performance Periods (as such term is defined in an Award Agreement issued under the LTIP).

4

(b) If the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) hereof, the Executive’s estate shall receive the amounts specified in Sections 5(a)(i), (iv) and (v).

(c) If the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) hereof, the Executive shall receive the amounts specified in Sections 5(a)(i), (iv) and (v).

(e) If the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to Section 4(a)(vi), the Executive shall receive the amounts specified in Section 5(a)(i).

(f) Other than payment of the Base Salary earned by the Executive prior to the date of termination and his earned, but unused, vacation, all other payments and benefits specified in Sections 5 (a) and (c) shall be conditioned upon the execution by the Executive of a general waiver and release of all claims he may have against the Company, and its parents and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, fiduciaries, attorneys, insurers, benefit plans, predecessors, successors, or assigns, other than those that may arise under this Agreement, in a form acceptable to the Company and provided to Executive in conjunction with the termination of the Employment Period.

(g) The Company may withhold from any compensation, benefits, or amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as may be required pursuant to any applicable law or government regulation.

(h) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. Further, the amount of any payment provided to the Executive under this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of self-employment or employment by another employer after the date of termination.

(i) In the event that any provision in this Agreement is inconsistent with any applicable employee benefit plan or agreement of the Company, the Company hereby covenants to amend such employee benefit plan or agreement to resolve such inconsistency. To the extent not inconsistent with this Section 5, the Executive shall benefit under the health, disability and retirement plans offered to the employees of the Company, in accordance with the terms of those plans. To the extent consistent with the Company’s practice applicable to disabled employees, the Executive shall remain an employee of the Company (and therefore remain eligible for the Company’s benefit plans) following a termination of the Employment Period pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) hereof.

Section 6. Confidential Obligations. The Executive hereby acknowledges and affirms and/or reaffirms all confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements concurrently or previously entered into between the Executive and the Company. Such agreements shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Executive agrees that the obligations contained in the confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation agreements are ancillary to this Agreement, and that the Executive would not be offered this Agreement, including, without limitation, the compensation and benefits hereunder, absent the Executive’s agreement to such confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation agreements.

Section 7. Cooperation. Following the expiration or earlier termination of the Employment Period, the Executive agrees to make himself reasonably available to the Company to respond to periodic requests for information relating to the Company or the Executive’s employment which may be within the Executive’s knowledge.

Section 8. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) No modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by the Executive from any of the terms or conditions thereof, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Company and the Executive. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No such waiver or consent shall (i) be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time or (ii) preclude insistence upon strict compliance in the future.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable to the Executive and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive’s executors, administrators, heirs, successors, devisees and legal representatives and the Company and any successor or assignee of the Company, but neither this Agreement nor any rights or payments arising hereunder may be assigned, pledged, transferred (except upon death) or hypothecated by Executive.

(c) All notices required to be given under the terms of this Agreement, or that either of the parties desires to give hereunder, shall be in writing and delivered personally (including by reputable overnight courier) or be sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows, and shall be deemed delivered upon receipt:

Any party may change the address to which notice is to be sent to it or to him by notice in writing to the other party as provided above.

(d) Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration in Harris County, Texas, in accordance with the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In any such arbitration each party will choose one arbitrator and those two arbitrators will choose a third. Each party will pay the costs associated with its arbitrator and will divide equally the cost associated with the third arbitrator. Except as provided below, the parties will divide equally the cost and fees associated with AAA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(d), either party may commence in any court having jurisdiction over the parties hereto any action to obtain injunctive relief. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof: (i) the Company shall reimburse to or at the direction of the Executive all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive relating to such dispute if the Executive prevails in any material respect; and (ii) the Executive shall reimburse to or at the direction of the Company all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Company relating to such dispute if the Company prevails in any material respect.

(e) If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be found invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision(s) shall be deemed to be modified or restricted to the extent and in the manner necessary to render the same valid and enforceable, or shall be deemed excised from this Agreement, as

6

the case may require, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, as if such provision(s) had been originally incorporated herein as so modified or restricted, or as if such provision(s) had not been originally incorporated herein, as the case may be.

(f) The provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 shall, as noted, survive termination of this Agreement.

(g) This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

(h) This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

(i) The Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that he shall be solely responsible for any taxes that are owed by him as a result of the payments and benefits provided to Executive hereunder. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Executive is required to pay state or local taxes in the United States due to his work-related travel (other than taxes for services provided in the state of Texas), the Company shall reimburse the Executive for any such taxes and also shall pay any and all taxes on such reimbursement payments.

(j) The provisions of this Section 8(j) shall apply solely to the extent that a payment under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).

(i) General Suspension of Payments. If Executive is a “specified employee,” as such term is defined within the meaning of Section 409A, any payments or benefits payable or provided as a result of Executive’s termination of employment that would otherwise be paid or provided prior to the first day of the seventh month following such termination (other than due to death) shall instead be paid or provided on the earlier of (A) the six months and one day following Executive’s termination, (B) the date of Executive’s death, or (C) any date that otherwise complies with Section 409A. In the event that Executive is entitled to receive payments during the suspension period provided under this Section, Executive shall receive the accumulated benefits that would have been paid or provided under this Agreement within the suspension period on the earliest day that would be permitted under Section 409A. In the event of any delay in payment under this provision, the deferred amount shall bear interest at the prime rate (as stated in the Wall Street Journal) in effect on his termination date until paid.

(ii) Release Payments. In the event that Executive is required to execute a release to receive any payments from the Company that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, payment of such amounts shall not be made or commence until the sixtieth (60th) day following such termination of employment. Any payments that are suspended during the sixty (60) day period shall be paid on the date the first regular payroll is made immediately following the end of such period.

(iii) Reimbursement Payments. The following rules shall apply to payments of any amounts under this Agreement that are treated as “reimbursement payments” under Section 409A, including any payments under Section 8(i) above: (A) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in one calendar year shall not limit the available reimbursements for any other calendar year (other than an arrangement providing for the reimbursement of medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code); (B) Executive shall file a claim for all reimbursement payments not later than thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar year during which the expenses were incurred, (C) the Company shall make such reimbursement payments within thirty (30) days following the date Executive delivers written notice of the expenses to the Company; and (D) Executive’s right to such reimbursement payments shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other payment or benefit.

7

(iv) Separation from Service. For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to “termination” of Executive’s employment shall be interpreted consistent with the meaning of the term “separation from service” in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and no portion of the Severance Payments shall be paid to Executive prior to the date such Executive incurs a separation from service under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.

(v) Installment Payments. For purposes of Section 409A and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (including without limitation Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), all payments made under this Agreement (whether severance payments or otherwise) will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment under this Agreement will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment.

(vi) PPACA. To the extent that any post-termination continuation of health or medical coverage pursuant to this Agreement would violate either (i) the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (“PPACA”) and related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, or (ii) Section 105(h) of the Code and related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, the Company may reform this Agreement in such manner as is reasonably necessary to provide the Executive with the intended benefit hereunder in a manner that complies with the PPACA or Section 105(h) of the Code; provided, however, that such reformation shall not result in a violation of Code Section 409A and shall be applied in the same manner to all similarly-situated executives of the Company and, further provided, that the Company may discontinue some or all of the extended health or medical coverage if such coverage cannot be provided in any manner to the Executive without subjecting the Company and/or the Executive to penalty.

(vii) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is intended that the severance benefits and other payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-l(b)(5), and 1.409A-(b)(9) and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. The commencement of payment or provision of any payment or benefit under this Agreement shall be deferred to the minimum extent necessary to prevent the imposition of any excise taxes or penalties on the Company or Executive. To the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. Although the Company shall use its best efforts to avoid the imposition of taxation, interest and penalties under Section 409A, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under this Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company, its affiliates, nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Executive or other taxpayer as a result of the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
