The Executive has had access to and has acquired, will have access to and will acquire, and has assisted in and may assist in developing confidential and proprietary information relating to the business and operations of the Employer and its affiliates, including but not limited to information with respect to present and prospective business plans, financing arrangements, marketing plans, customer and supplier lists, contracts and proposals.

The Executive acknowledges that such information has been and will continue to be of central importance to the business of the Employer and its affiliates and that its disclosure or use by others could cause substantial loss to the Employer and its affiliates.  The Executive and the Employer also recognize that an important part of the Executive’s duties have been, and will continue to be, to develop goodwill for the Employer and its affiliates through his personal contact with vendors, customers, subcontractors, and others sharing business relationships with the Employer and its affiliates, and that there is a danger that this goodwill, a proprietary asset of the Employer and its affiliates, may follow the Executive if and when his employment relationship with the Employer ends.

The Executive accordingly agrees that without Employer’s written consent, during the Employment Period, the Executive will not, either individually or as owner, partner, agent, employee, consultant, or in any other capacity, engage in any activity competitive with the Employer or any of its affiliates and will not on his own behalf, or on behalf of any third party, directly or indirectly hire, discuss employment with, or recommend to any third party the employment of any employee of the Employer, or any of its affiliates, who was employed by the Employer or an affiliate on the Effective Date, without regard to whether that employee’s employment with the Employer has subsequently ceased for any reason.

Nothing in this Article II shall be construed to prevent the Executive from owning, as an investment, not more than Ten percent (10%) of a class of equity securities issued by any issuer and publicly traded and registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

2.2           NON-DISCLOSURE.  At all times after the Effective Date, the Executive will keep confidential any confidential or proprietary information of the Employer and its affiliates which is now known to him or which hereafter may become known to him as a result of his employment or association with the Employer and shall not at any time directly or indirectly disclose any such information to any person, firm or employer, or use the same in any way other than in connection with the business of the Employer and its affiliates, or pursuant to any duly issued court order or subpoena. For purposes of this Agreement, “confidential or proprietary information” means information unique to the Employer and its affiliates which has a significant business purpose and is not known or generally available from sources outside the Employer and its affiliates.

(b)           In the event of an early termination of the Employment Period, the Employer shall pay to the Executive all accrued but unpaid vacation pay, bonuses or other compensation earned by the Executive prior to the date of termination.

3.4           DEFINITIONS.  The following words shall have the specified meanings when used in the Sections specified:

(a)           As used in Section 3.2(a), above, the term “cause” means (i) willful and continued non-performance of his job responsibilities, after the Executive has been provided written notice of such non-performance and a reasonable time period, not less than three (3) months, has passed without substantial correction of such non-performance, (ii) the Executive’s conviction for a felony, (iii) proven or admitted fraud, misappropriation, theft or embezzlement by the Executive, (iv) the Executive’s inebriation or use of illegal drugs in the course of, related to or connected with the business of the Employer, (v) the Executive’s willful engaging in misconduct that is materially injurious to the Employer or its affiliates, monetarily or otherwise, or (vi) the breach by the Executive of his obligations under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 above.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

5.1           ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the Executive and the Employer with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior understandings on the subjects contained herein, written or oral.

5.2           MODIFICATION. This Agreement shall not be varied, altered, modified, canceled, changed, or in any way amended, nor any provision hereof waived, except by mutual agreement of the Parties in a written instrument executed by the Parties or their legal representatives.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the Employer’s and its affiliates’ rights to amend or terminate any of its employee benefit plans, as permitted under applicable law and the respective terms of such plans.

5.3           SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect, provided, that if the unenforceability of any provision is because of the breadth of its scope, the duration of such provision or the geographical area covered thereby, the Parties agree that such provision shall be amended, as determined by the court, so as to reduce the breadth of the scope or the duration and/or geographical area of such provision such that, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be enforceable.

5.4           GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

In the event that mediation fails, all disputes shall be settled by binding arbitration to be held in Houston, Texas, within sixty (60) days of the failure of mediation, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy.  The costs and expenses of such arbitration shall be allocated as determined by the arbitrator, and the arbitrator is authorized to award attorney fees to the prevailing Party. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of one (1) arbitrator, who shall be mutually approved by the Parties. In the event that the Parties cannot mutually agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. Disputes arising out of this Agreement shall not be the subject of litigation.
