A G R E E M E N T

SECTION 1.  Employment; Duties.  The Company hereby employs Executive, and
Executive hereby accepts employment, as the Executive Vice President of the
Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HII Technologies, Inc.  Executive
shall directly report to the CEO of HII Technologies (or such other officers as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Buyer (the “Board”) from time to
time) and shall devote 90% of his business time, energy and skill to the
business of the Company and the promotion of its interests, and the performance
of his duties and responsibilities hereunder including, without limitation,
performing customary duties in connection with the water handling oilfield
services business of the Company. Executive agrees not to spend more than 90% of
his time in other consultative activities including Petroleum Engineering
services. Executive shall comply with the Company’s employment policies and
procedures, if any, adopted from time to time by the Board.  Executive hereby
agrees to obtain any certifications from any governmental or other regulatory
body that the Company deems reasonably necessary for the performance or his
duties and responsibilities hereunder.  

SECTION 2.  Term.    Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be for a
term (the “Term”) commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on
September 30, 2015 (or such earlier date, if any, on which Executive resigns or
is terminated by the Company).  So long as Executive has not materially breached
the terms of this Agreement or the Purchase

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

Agreement, beginning on October 1, 2015 and on each anniversary thereof (each,
an “Extension Date”), the Term shall be automatically extended for an additional
one-year period (the “Extended Term”), unless either Party provides the other
Party hereto at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice before the next
Extension Date that the Term shall not be so extended.  

SECTION 3.  Compensation.

(a)

In consideration for Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties and
responsibilities with the Company, the Company shall pay to Executive, from the
date of this Agreement through September 30, 2015 or such later date if this
Agreement is extended for an Extended Term or a New Term, a base salary of
$180,000 per annum (the “Base Salary”).  Executive will be paid in bi-weekly
installments pursuant to the Company’s normal payroll policies.  

(b)

In addition to the consideration set forth in Section 3(a) above, Executive
shall also receive quarterly bonus payments (“Quarterly Bonus Payments”) equal

twenty-three percent (23%) multiplied by (iii) fifty percent (50%).   The
Quarterly Bonus Payments will be paid on each of February 1, May 1, August 1 and
November 1 in any year during the term.   For the avoidance of doubt, if Company
EBITDA in January, February and March 2013 was $200,000, $150,000 and $80,000,
respectively, the Executive would be entitled to a Quarterly Bonus Payment of
$17,250 payable on May 1, 2013.  “Company EBITDA” shall mean, for the Company
for any period, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Company’s net income for

period and without duplication, (A) interest expense, (B) income tax expense
determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, and (C) depreciation
and amortization expense determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with

During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to up to fifteen (15) business days
of paid vacation days per calendar year, in accordance with the Company’s

reasonable business expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance of his
or her duties under this Agreement, in accordance with the Company’s policies in
effect from time to time.

(a)

Executive acknowledges that the Company, its subsidiaries and its Affiliates
have expended and shall continue to expend substantial amounts of time, money
and effort to develop business strategies, employee, client and customer
relationships and goodwill to build an effective organization.  Executive

information of the Company, its subsidiaries and its Affiliates, including trade
secrets, and that Executive’s services are of special, unique and extraordinary
value to the Company.  Executive acknowledges that the consummation of
transactions and compensation offered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the
opportunities of employment and compensation offered under this Agreement are

acknowledges that the Company and each of its subsidiaries and Affiliates and
their respective successors, assigns and nominees, has a legitimate business
interest and right in protecting its confidential information, business,
strategies, employee, client and customer relationships and goodwill, and that
each of the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective
successors, assigns and nominees would be seriously damaged by the disclosure of
confidential information and the loss or deterioration of its business
strategies, employee and customer relationships and goodwill.

For so long as Executive is employed by Company or any of its subsidiaries or
Affiliates and for a period of two (2) years thereafter:

(i)

Subject to Section 4(b)(iii) below, Executive shall not within the Territory,

employee, trustee, agent, advisor, principal, substantial equity holder,
contractor, consultant or other representative), solicit or accept or perform
any business which is similar to, or in competition with, the businesses in
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates is currently engaged
or engages (the “Business”) during the period of Executive’s employment from any
Person who is or was a client or customer of the Company during the Term or
otherwise interfere with the Company’s relationship with any Person who is or
was a client or customer of the Company during the Term;  

(ii)

Executive shall not (x) directly or indirectly solicit, recruit or hire any

contractors, consultants or advisors.

(c)

Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and has given

Agreement, and is in full accord as to the necessity of such restraints for the
reasonable and proper protection of the confidential information, business
strategies, intellectual property, employee and customer relationships and
goodwill of the

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

Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates now existing or to be developed in
the future.  Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every
restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter
and time period.  Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that the
restraints imposed by this Agreement will not prevent him from earning a
livelihood.  Executive agrees to comply with each of the covenants contained in
this Section 4 in accordance with their terms.

(d)

All agreements, covenants and provisions of this Section 4 constitute a series
of separate covenants.  If any provision hereof is determined to be
unenforceable, the same shall be deemed deleted, but only with respect to the
operation of this Section 4 in the particular jurisdiction in which such
determination is made.  The foregoing notwithstanding, if any provision hereof
is determined to be unenforceable because of its scope in terms of territory or
duration in time of business activities, but may be enforceable by reason of
limitations thereon, such limitations may be imposed so that such provision, as
limited, will be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the law
applied consistent with public policy in the applicable jurisdiction.  Executive
hereby understands and agrees that any violation of this Section 4 may not be
susceptible to an award for damages and, accordingly, that relief for any such
violation by Executive may be the subject of an injunction issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction.  If any such action is brought by the Company to
enforce, or seek damages for the violation of, the provisions of this Section 4,
the unsuccessful party in such litigation shall pay to the successful party all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred therein by
such successful party and such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees shall be
included in and as a part of such judgment or award; and the determination by
the judge in such action shall be conclusive on the matter of which party is
successful for purposes hereof.

(e)

Executive will not be deemed to have breached his obligations under this Section
4 if Executive owns, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities
of any Person if he (i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group
which controls, such Person or (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, own more
than ten percent (10%) of any class of securities of such Person.

SECTION 5.  Confidentiality.  Executive (a) recognizes that the business and
financial records, customer and client lists, proprietary knowledge or data,
intellectual property, trade secrets and confidential methods of operations of
the Company, its subsidiaries and its Affiliates and their respective
successors, assigns and nominees, as they may exist from time to time and which
relate to the then conducted or planned business of the Company, its
subsidiaries and its Affiliates or of entities with which the Company was or is
expected to be affiliated during such periods, are valuable, special and unique
assets of the Company, access to and knowledge of which are essential to
Executive’s performance with the Company; and (b) shall not, during or after the
Term, disclose any of such records, lists, knowledge, data, property, secrets,
methods or information to any Person for any reason or purpose whatsoever
(except for disclosures (x) compelled by law; provided that Executive promptly
notifies the Board of any request for such information before disclosing the
same, if practical, and (y) made as necessary in connection with the performance
of his duties with the Company) or make use of any such property for his own
purposes or for the benefit of any Person except the Company. Executive
acknowledges that a breach of this Section 7 may cause irreparable injury to the
Company for which monetary damages are inadequate, difficult to compute, or
both.  Accordingly, Executive agrees that the provisions of this Section 7 may
be enforced by specific performance or other injunctive relief.

SECTION 6.  Inventions.  Any and all inventions, processes, procedures, systems,
discoveries, designs, configurations, technology, intellectual property, works
of authorship (including, but not limited to, computer programs), trade secrets

conceived or reduced to practice during working hours or using the Company’s or
any of its subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ data or facilities) and all portions
thereof (collectively, the “Inventions”) which Executive makes, conceives,
reduces to practice, or otherwise acquires during his employment with the
Company (either solely or jointly with others), and which are related to the
then present or planned business, services or products of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be the sole property of the Company and
shall at all times and for all purposes be regarded as acquired and held by
Executive in a fiduciary capacity for the sole benefit of the Company.  All
Inventions that consist of works of authorship capable of protection under
copyright laws shall be prepared by Executive as works made for hire, with the
understanding that the Company shall own all of the exclusive rights to such
works of authorship under the United States copyright law and all international
copyright conventions and foreign laws.  Executive hereby assigns to the
Company, without further compensation, all such Inventions and any and all
patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names or applications therefore, in the
United States and elsewhere, relating thereto.  Executive shall promptly
disclose to the Company all such Inventions and shall assist the Company in
obtaining and enforcing for its own benefit patent, copyright and trademark
registrations on such Inventions in all countries.  Upon request, Executive
shall execute all applications, assignments, instruments and papers and perform
all acts, such as the giving of testimony in interference proceedings and
infringement suits or other litigation, necessary or desired by the Company to
enable the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates  and their respective
successors, assigns and nominees to secure and enjoy the full benefits and
advantages of such Inventions.

calendar months.  In the event of such termination, the Company shall pay the
Executive all amounts due and payable to Executive through the date of such
termination.  The Executive agrees, in the event of a dispute under this Section
7(c), to submit to a physical examination by a licensed physician selected by
the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive.  The Company agrees
