when a company vehicle is not provided.

G.

No additional compensation (above the compensation referred to in this
Paragraph 5) shall be due or payable by Company to Executive under this

of termination as provided herein.  Additionally, if during the Initial Term,
the Executive resigns with good reason or the Company terminates Executive’s
employment with the Company for any reason other than under Paragraph 7.A(b)(i),
7.A.(b)(iii), 7.A.(b)(iv), 7.A.(b)(v), or 7.A.(b)(vii) or if during the Initial
Term, Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated due to Executive’s
death under Paragraph 7.A(c), then Executive (or his estate, as applicable)
shall be entitled to and shall receive, as his or its sole and exclusive remedy
(Executive hereby waiving all other rights or remedies in the event of such a
termination), a severance payment equal to six (6) months’ of Executive’s base
salary (computed using the annual compensation then payable to Executive under
Paragraph 5.A) for six (6) months, which shall be paid monthly following the
termination of employment for the balance of the Initial Term. Additionally, in
the event the Company terminates Executive’s employment under Paragraph 7.A(a)
hereof, the duration of Executive’s covenants under Paragraph 10 hereof shall
last until the expiration of six (6) months from the date of such termination
(however, the Company may extend the duration of such covenant to up to twelve
(12) months from the date of such termination by increasing the severance
payment payable to Executive under the immediately preceding sentence to up to
twelve (12) month’s base salary – but the Company shall be under no obligation
 to do so).  If: (i) Executive resigns from his employment with the Company
under Paragraph 7.A(a) at any time; or (ii) during the Initial Term, the Company
terminates the employment of Executive pursuant to Paragraph 7.A(b)(i),
7.A(b)(iii), 7.A(b)(iv), 7.A(b)(v), 7.A(b)(vi), or 7.A(b)(vii); or

Executive’s death under Paragraph 7.A(c), then the Company shall have the
obligation to pay to Executive all amounts earned under Paragraph 5.A prior to
the termination of employment, but the Company shall have no obligation to pay
Executive any amount otherwise coming due and payable under this Agreement after
the date of such termination and Executive shall be entitled to no other or
further compensation as of the date of termination of his employment or
thereafter. Additionally, if, after the Initial Term, the Company (but not
Executive) terminates Executive’s employment under Paragraph 7.A(a) or Paragraph
7.A.(b)(ii), Executive shall be entitled, as his sole and exclusive remedy
(Executive hereby waiving all other rights or remedies in the event of such a
termination) a severance payment equal to six (6) month’s salary (based on the
annual compensation payable to Executive under Paragraph 5.A), which shall be
paid monthly for six (6) months following the termination of employment;
provided, however, if Executive becomes employed or otherwise earns income from
sources other than the Company during such six (6) month period, then the
Company’s obligation to pay such severance payment shall be reduced dollar for
dollar by each dollar received by Executive during such six (6) month period.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C.

If your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company “Without Cause”
(as defined herein) or if you resign “With Good Reason” you shall be entitled to
the same level of health (i.e. medical, vision and dental) coverage and benefits
as in effect for you on the day immediately preceding the day of termination of
employment; provided, however that (A) you constitute a qualified beneficiary,
as defined in Section 4980B(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended; and (B) you elect continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), within the time

months from the termination date.

8.  Confidential Information; Ideas

A.

 The Company  promises that it will give Executive  access to some or all of its
Confidential Information (as defined in this Paragraph 8.A.) during his
employment under this Agreement, including, without limitation, certain trade
secrets, know-how, mailing lists, clients lists, potential client lists,
employee records, and other sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information
and knowledge concerning the business of the Company, and/or affiliates of the
Company (hereafter collectively referred to as “Confidential Information”) which
the Company desires to protect.  Executive understands that such Information is
sensitive, proprietary, or confidential, and he agrees that he will not, at any
time (and whether during or after Executive’s employment with the Company),
reveal such Confidential Information to anyone outside the Company.  The term
“Confidential Information,” as used in this Agreement, shall not include
information that (a) is already known to Executive from sources other than the
Company; (b) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of a disclosure by Executive; (c) is disclosed to Executive by a person
or entity who is not bound by any agreement regarding the confidential nature of
such information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law or by regulatory or
judicial process.  The provisions of this Paragraph 8 shall survive any
termination or expiration of this Agreement, and the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company (for whatever cause or reason).

B.

Executive agrees that all ideas, improvements, inventions, discoveries, systems,
techniques, formulas, devices, methods, processes, programs, designs, models,
prototypes, copyrightable works, mask works, trademarks, service marks, trade
dress, software programs, hardware improvements, business slogans, and other
things of value conceived, reduced to practice or made or learned by Executive,
either alone or with others, while employed by the Company and for twelve (12)
months thereafter that relate to the Company's business and/or the business of
affiliates of the Company (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Ideas")
belong to and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company
forever.  Further, Executive agrees to promptly and fully disclose to the
Company’s President such Ideas in writing.  In addition, Executive agrees,
without additional compensation, to cooperate and do any and all lawful things
requested by Company necessary or useful to ensure that the ownership by the
Company of such Ideas is protected.  This cooperation includes, but is not
limited to, executing all documents required by the Company, and otherwise
assisting Company to vest title of such Ideas in Company and to obtain, maintain
and enforce for Company’s benefit, any patents, copyrights, mask work
registration, trade

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and service mark registrations, or other legal protection for any Ideas in any
and all countries, during or after employment with Company.  Executive will
continue to assist Company as provided in the preceding sentence even after
termination of Executive’s employment with Company, but Company shall compensate
Executive at a reasonable rate after his termination for the time actually spent
by Executive in response to a written request by Company.  If Company is unable
for any reason to secure Executive's signature on any document needed in
connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, Executive
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Company and its duly authorized
officers and agents as Executive's agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on
Executive's behalf to execute, verify, and file any such documents and to do all
other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph
with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. Executive
hereby waives and quitclaims to Company any and all claims, of whatever nature,
which Executive has or may have later for infringement of any proprietary rights
assigned by Executive to Company.  Executive hereby assigns to the Company all
of Executive’s right, title, and interest in and to all such Ideas and all
patents, trademarks, copyrights, other registrations, and applications which may
be obtained as a result of the Ideas, throughout the United States and all
foreign countries.  Executive agrees that no Ideas shall be regarded as having
been conceived, reduced to practice, made, or learned by Executive prior to
Executive's employment.  Executive's obligations under this Agreement shall
continue after his termination of employment with the Company. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of Company, its successors (including by merger) and
assigns, and is binding upon the assigns, executors, and administrators and
other legal representatives of Executive.

9.  Arbitration

A.

If any dispute between the Company and Executive arises out of or is related to
this Agreement, Executive’s employment, or Executive’s separation from
employment with Company for any reason, and the parties to this Agreement cannot
resolve the dispute, the Company and Executive shall submit the dispute to final
and binding arbitration.  The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) National Rules for the Resolution
of Employment Disputes (“Rules”).  If the parties cannot agree to an arbitrator,
an arbitrator will be selected through the AAA’s standard procedures and Rules.
 Company and Executive shall share the costs of arbitration, unless the
arbitrator rules otherwise.  Company and Executive agree that the arbitration
shall be held in Houston, Texas.   Arbitration of the parties’ disputes is
mandatory, and in lieu of any and all civil causes of action or lawsuits either
party may have against the other arising out of or related to this Agreement,
Executive’s employment, or Executive’s separation from employment with Company,
with the exception that Company alone may seek a temporary restraining order and
temporary injunctive relief in a court to enforce the protective covenants as
provided in Agreement Paragraph 10.C..  Executive acknowledges that by agreeing
to this provision, he knowingly and voluntarily waives any right he may have to
a jury trial based on any claims he has, had, or may have against the Company,
including any right to a jury trial under any local, municipal, state or federal
law including, without limitation, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. Section 1981, the Americans With Disabilities Act of
1990, the Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, the Family Medical Leave
Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Texas
Commission on Human Rights Act, claims of harassment, discrimination or wrongful
termination, and any other statutory or

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

common law claims.

B.

Before the arbitration hearing is conducted, the arbitrator shall have the
authority to consider and grant a motion to dismiss and motion for summary
judgment by applying the standards governing these motions under Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure 12 and 56.  The arbitrator shall issue a written decision and
award, which shall explain the basis of the decision.  The decision and award
shall be exclusive, final, and binding on both Executive and the Company, and
all heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.  

C.

Both Executive and the Company understand that, by agreeing to arbitration, they
are agreeing to substitute one legitimate dispute resolution forum (arbitration)
for another (litigation), and thereby are waiving the right to have disputes
resolved in court

10.  Restrictive Covenants

A.

As an inducement for Company’s agreement to employ Executive, to provide
Executive with trade secrets and other Confidential Information, and to enter
into this Agreement, Executive hereby agrees that during the Term, and for a
period of twenty-four (24) full calendar months after (i) the expiration of the
Term (as the same may be extended) or (ii) the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company for whatever reason or cause (whichever may occur
later), or for the maximum period of time permitted by law, whichever is less,
Executive shall not, whether for profit or not, whether on his own behalf or on
behalf of any person or firm in any capacity whatsoever, engage in the
"Prohibited Activity" (as hereinafter defined) within the "Relevant Geographical
Area" (as hereinafter defined).  Serving as a partner, member, trustee,
receiver, custodian, manager, stockholder, officer, director, owner, joint
venturer, associate, employee, consultant, adviser or in any other capacity
whatsoever with respect to any person or firm engaged in the Prohibited Activity
within the Relevant Geographical Area shall be conclusively deemed engagement in
the Prohibited Activity within the Relevant Geographical Area regardless of
whether such service is for profit  or whether such person or firm engages in
the Prohibited Activity for profit .  In this Agreement, the phrase "Prohibited
Activity" shall mean, directly or indirectly: (i) soliciting the Company’s
customers; or (ii) working independently or for any person or firm involved in
any business engaged in by the Company and/or by any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates during the Term, including, without limitation, steel fabrication.
 For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase "Relevant Geographical Area" shall
mean the area within political boundaries of the State of Texas and any and all
other areas in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
transact business; provided, however, if the geographic area defined in this
Agreement Paragraph 10.A. exceeds the maximum geographic area permitted by law
or for any other reason does not state a geographic area within which the
provisions of this Paragraph 10 A. are enforceable, then the provisions of this
Paragraph 10 A. shall apply within the maximum geographic area permitted by law
in which such provisions are enforceable.

B.

As an inducement for Company’s agreement to employ Executive, to provide
Executive with trade secrets and other Confidential Information, and to enter
into this Agreement, Executive hereby agrees that during the Term, and for a
period of twenty-four (24) full calendar months after: (i) the expiration of the
Term (as the same may be extended) or (ii) the termination of

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Executive’s employment with the Company for whatever reason or cause (whichever
may occur later), or for the maximum period of time permitted by law, whichever
is less, Executive shall not induce or attempt to influence or persuade any
employee of Company or any of its affiliates to terminate his employment with
the Company (or with the applicable affiliate).

C.

In addition to all other remedies at law and in equity which the Company might
have for Executive’s breach of the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10, the
Parties agree that in the event of any breach or attempted or threatened breach
of any such covenant, the Company shall also have the right to obtain a
temporary restraining order, temporary injunction and permanent injunction
against Executive prohibiting such breach or attempted or threatened breach,
merely by proving the existence of such breach, or attempted or threatened
breach (by a preponderance of the evidence) and without the necessity of proving
either inadequacy of legal remedy or irreparable harm.

D.

Executive’s covenants set forth in this Paragraph 10 are independent and
severable from every other provision of this Agreement; and the breach of any
other provision of this Agreement by the Company or any other agreement between
Executive and the Company shall not affect the validity of the provisions of
this Paragraph 10 or constitute a defense of Executive in any suit or action
brought by the Company to enforce the provisions of this Paragraph 10 or to seek
any relief from Executive’s breach thereof.

E.

Each of the Parties agree and stipulate that: (i) the agreements and covenants
not to compete contained in this Paragraph 10 are fair and reasonable in light
of all of the facts and circumstances of the relationship between Executive and
the Company; (ii) the consideration provided by the Company is not illusory; and
(iii) the consideration given by the Company under this Agreement gives rise to
the Company’s interest in restraining and prohibiting Executive from engaging in
the Prohibited Activity within the Relevant Geographical Area as provided under
this Paragraph 10 and the covenants not to engage in the Prohibited Activity
within the Relevant Geographical Area pursuant to this Paragraph 10 are designed
to enforce such consideration.  The Parties are aware, however, that in certain
circumstances, courts have refused to enforce certain agreements not to compete.
 Therefore, in furtherance of and not in derogation of the provisions of the
preceding sentence, the Parties agree that if a court should decline to enforce
the any of the provisions of this Paragraph 10, such affected provisions shall
be deemed to be modified to restrict competition with the Company to the maximum
extent, in both time and geography, which the court shall find enforceable.  The
provisions of this Paragraph 10 shall survive any termination or expiration of
this Agreement, and the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company
(for whatever cause or reason, as modified by Paragraph 7.B of this Agreement).
