stockholders to retain the Executive and to induce the employment of the
Executive for the long-term benefit of the Company;

Executive during the term hereof and the Board and the Executive expect that the
Executive will be retained for at least the three-year period contemplated
herein;

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into an Employment
Agreement dated March 1, 1999 (the "Employment Agreement");

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate in
its entirety the Employment Agreement as set out in this Agreement; and

          2.   Terms of Employment.


               (a)  Position and Duties.


                    (i) During the Employment Period, (A) the Executive's
     position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements,
     authority, duties and responsibilities) shall be Executive Vice President
     of the Company and President of the Company's Global Compression Services
     Division, (B) the Executive's services shall be performed primarily at the
     Company's offices in Houston, Texas or other locations less than 35 miles
     from such location, provided that the Executive acknowledges and agrees
     that he will be required to travel on a reasonable basis to the offices of
     the Company's Global Compression Services Division in the Dallas, Texas
     area, (C) the Executive shall oversee the Company's Information Technology
     Department and (D) the Executive will report directly to the Company's
     Chief Executive Officer.

                    (ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods
     of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the
     Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal
     business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the
     extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the
     Executive hereunder, to use the Executive's reasonable best efforts to
     perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the
     Employment Period it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the
     Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or
     committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at
     educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long as
     such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the
     Executive's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance
     with this Agreement.

               (b)  Compensation.


                    (i) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive
     shall receive an annual base salary of $300,000.00 ("Annual Base Salary"),
     which shall be paid at a monthly rate. During the Employment Period, the
     Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed no more than 12 months after the last
     salary increase awarded to the Executive prior to the date hereof and
     thereafter at least annually; provided, however, that a salary increase
     shall not necessarily be awarded as a result of such review. Any increase
     in Annual Base Salary may not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation
     to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be
     reduced after any such increase. The term Annual Base Salary as utilized in
     this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased.

                    (ii) Annual Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible for an
     annual bonus (the "Annual Bonus") for each fiscal year ending during the
     Employment Period on the same basis as other executive officers under the
     Company's executive officer annual incentive program. Each such Annual
     Bonus shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of


                                       2
<PAGE>   3



     the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual
     Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of
     such Annual Bonus pursuant to a Company sponsored deferred compensation
     plan in effect.

                    (iii) Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the
     Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all
     incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs
     applicable generally to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and
     its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices,
     policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities
     (measured with respect to both regular and special incentive opportunities,
     to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable), savings
     opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less
     favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by
     the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such
     plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect on the date hereof. As
     used in this Agreement, the term "affiliated companies" shall include any
     company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the
     Company. Effective as of March 1, 1999, the Executive was granted an option
     to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value, at $18.125 per
     share under the terms of the Company's 1998 Employee Stock Option Plan.

                    (iv) Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period,
     the Executive and/or the Executive's family, as the case may be, shall be
     eligible to participate in and shall receive all benefits under welfare
     benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and
     its affiliated companies (including, without limitation, medical,
     prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group
     life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to
     the extent applicable generally to the Executive's peer executives of the
     Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans,
     practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with benefits which
     are less favorable, in the aggregate, than such plans, practices, policies
     and programs in effect for the Executive on the date hereof.

                    (v) Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive
     shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable
     expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the most favorable
     policies, practices and procedures of the Company and its affiliated
     companies in effect for the Executive on the date hereof.

                    (vi) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the
     Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits (including, without
     limitation, financial planning services and payment of related expenses, as
     appropriate) in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices,
     programs and policies of the Company in effect on the date hereof.

                    (vii) Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive
     shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable
     plans, policies, programs and



                                       3
<PAGE>   4


     practices of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the
     Executive on the date hereof.

     3.   Termination of Employment.


          (a) Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall terminate
automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment Period. If the
Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has
occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability
set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with
Section 10(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive's
employment. In such event, the Executive's employment with the Company shall
terminate effective 30 days after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the
"Disability Effective Date"), provided that within the 30-day period after such
receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the
Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the
absence of the Executive from the Executive's duties with the Company on a
full-time basis for 180 calendar days as a result of incapacity due to mental or
physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician
selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the
Executive's legal representative.

          (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment during
the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall
mean:

               (i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform
     substantially the Executive's duties with the Company or one of its
     affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to
     physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial
     performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief
     Executive Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the manner
     in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes that the Executive
     has not substantially performed the Executive's duties, or

               (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or
     gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the
     Company.

         For purposes of this provision, no act, or failure to act, on the part
of the Executive shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to
be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any
act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly
adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or
of a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the
Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the
Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation
of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and
until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution
duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the
entire membership of the Board at a


                                       4
<PAGE>   5

meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice
is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together
with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith
opinion of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in
subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail.

          (c) Good Reason. The Executive's employment may be terminated by the
Executive during the Employment Period for Good Reason. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean:

               (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in
     any respect with the Executive's position (including status, offices,
     titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities
     as contemplated by Section 2(a) of this Agreement, or any other action by
     the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority,
     duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated,
     insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is
     remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by
     the Executive;

               (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the
     provisions of Section 2(b) of this Agreement, other than an isolated,
     insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which
     is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given
     by the Executive;

               (iii) the Company's requiring the Executive to be based at any
     office or location other than as provided in Section 2(a)(i)(B) hereof or
     the Company's requiring the Executive to travel on Company business to a
     substantially greater extent than required for the performance of the
     Executive's position, it being understood that travel will be a necessary
     part of the job;

               (iv) any purported termination by the Company of the Executive's
     employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement;

               (v) in the event of a merger, consolidation or other business
     combination of the Company in which the Company's securities cease to be
     publicly traded, the assignment to the Executive of any position (including
     status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or
     responsibilities that are not (A) at or with the ultimate parent company of
     the entity surviving or resulting from such merger, consolidation or other
     business combination and (B) substantially similar to the Executive's
     position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements),
     authority, duties and responsibilities as contemplated by Section 2(a); or

               (vi) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy
     Section 9(c) of this Agreement.




                                       5
<PAGE>   6
For purposes of this Section 3(c), any good faith determination of
"Good Reason" made by the Executive shall be conclusive.

          (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination during the Employment
Period by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in
accordance with Section 10(b) of the Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent
applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed
to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the
provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below)
is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date
(which date shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The
failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of
Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good
Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company,
respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the
Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder.


          (e)  Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean:


               (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company
     for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the
     Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may
     be;

               (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company
     other than for Cause, death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be
     the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination;
     and

               (iii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of
     death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of
     the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

     4.   Obligations of the Company Upon Termination.


          (a) Good Reason; Other than For Cause, Death or Disability. If, during
the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment
other than for Cause, death or Disability, or the Executive shall terminate
employment for Good Reason:

               (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash
     within 30 days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following
     amounts:

                    (A) the sum of (1) the Executive's Annual Base Salary
          through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid,
          (2) the product of (x) the higher of (I) the highest Annual Bonus
          received by the Executive over the preceding


                                       6
<PAGE>   7


          three year period (provided that for the first three years of this
          Agreement, the Annual Bonus for purposes of this Section shall be not
          less than 50% of the Executive's Annual Base Salary) and (II) the
          Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any bonus or portion thereof
          which has been earned but deferred (and annualized for any fiscal year
          consisting of less than 12 full months or during which the Executive
          was employed for less than 12 full months), for the most recently
          completed fiscal year during the Employment Period, if any (such
          higher amount being referred to as the "Highest Annual Bonus"), and
          (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the
          current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the
          denominator of which is 365, and (3) any compensation previously
          deferred by the Executive under a plan sponsored by the Company
          (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon), and any
          accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid
          (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) shall be
          hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued Obligations"), and

                    (B) an amount equal to three times the sum of (i) the then
          current Annual Base Salary of the Executive and (ii) the Highest
          Annual Bonus, and

                    (C) an amount equal to the total of the employer matching
          contributions credited to the Executive under the Company's 401(k)
          Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan") or any other deferred compensation
          plan during the 12-month period immediately preceding the month of the
          Executive's Date of Termination multiplied by three, such amount to be
          grossed up so that the amount the Executive actually receives after
          payment of any federal or state taxes payable thereon equals the
          amount first described above.

               (ii) For a period of three years from the Executive's Date of
     Termination (the "Remaining Contract Term") or such longer period as may be
     provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy,
     the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's
     family equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance
     with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in Section
     2(b)(iv) of this Agreement if the Executive's employment had not been
     terminated; provided, however, that with respect to any of such plans,
     programs, practices or policies requiring an employee contribution, the
     Executive shall continue to pay the monthly employee contribution for same,
     and provided further, that if the Executive becomes reemployed by another
     employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under
     another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits
     described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan
     during such applicable period of eligibility;

               (iii) The Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide
     the Executive with outplacement services, the scope and provider of which
     shall be selected by the Executive in his sole discretion;


                                       7
<PAGE>   8


               (iv) With respect to all options to purchase Common Stock held by
     the Executive pursuant to a Company stock option plan on or prior to the
     Date of Termination, irrespective of whether such options are then
     exercisable, the Executive shall have the right, during the 60-day period
     after the Date of Termination, to elect to surrender all or part of such
     options in exchange for a cash payment by the Company to the Executive in
     an amount equal the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
     Executive's option multiplied by the difference between (x) and (y) where
     (x) equals the purchase price per share covered by the option and (y)
     equals the highest reported sale price of a share of Common Stock in any
     transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange during the 60-day
     period prior to and including the Executive's Date of Termination. Such
     cash payments shall be made within 30 days after the date of the
     Executive's election; provided, however, that if the Executive's Date of
     Termination is within six months after the date of grant of a particular
     option held by the Executive and the Executive is subject to Section 16(b)
     of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any cash payments
     related thereto shall be made on the date which is six months and one day
     after the date of grant of such option to the extent necessary to prevent
     the imposition of the disgorgement provisions under Section 16(b).
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any right granted pursuant to the
     foregoing would make any change of control transaction ineligible for
     pooling of interests accounting treatment under APB No. 16 that but for
     this Section 4(a)(iv) would otherwise be eligible for such accounting
     treatment, the Executive shall receive in substitution for the cash payment
     a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the amount of
     cash that would otherwise be payable to the Executive hereunder by the
     average closing sales price of the Common Stock, as reported by the New
     York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days immediately prior to the date
     such payment is due to be made (rounding up to the nearest whole number),
     provided that any such shares of Common Stock so granted to the Executive
     shall be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; any
     options outstanding as of the Date of Termination and not then exercisable
     shall become fully exercisable as of the Executive's Date of Termination,
     and to the extent the Executive does not elect to surrender same for a cash
     payment (or the equivalent number of shares of Common Stock) as provided
     above, such options shall remain exercisable for one year after the
     Executive's Date of Termination or until the stated expiration of the
     stated term thereof, whichever is longer;

               (v) restrictions applicable to any shares of Common Stock granted
     to the Executive by the Company shall lapse, as of the date of the
     Executive's Date of Termination;

               (vi) All country club memberships, luncheon clubs and other
     memberships which the Company was providing for the Executive's use at the
     time Notice of Termination is given shall, to the extent possible, be
     transferred and assigned to the Executive at no cost to the Executive
     (other than income taxes owed), the cost of transfer, if any, to be borne
     by the Company;

               (vii) The Company shall either transfer to the Executive
     ownership and title to the Executive's company car at no cost to the
     Executive (other than income taxes owed)


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

     or, if the Executive receives a monthly car allowance in lieu of a Company
     car, pay the Executive a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the
     Executive's Date of Termination equal to the Executive's annual car
     allowance multiplied by three;

               (viii) All benefits under the Company's Executive Deferred
     Compensation Plan and the 401(k) Plan and any other similar plans,
     including any stock options held by the Executive, not already vested shall
     be 100% vested, to the extent such vesting is permitted under the Code (as
     defined below);

               (ix) To the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company
     shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits
     required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to
     receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or
     agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts
     and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Other Benefits"); and

               (x) The foregoing payments are intended to compensate the
     Executive for a breach of the Company's obligations and place Executive in
     substantially the same position had the employment of the Executive not
     been so terminated as a result of a breach by the Company.

          (b) Death. If Executive's employment is terminated by reason of the
Executive's death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate
without further obligations to the Executive's legal representatives under this
Agreement, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment
or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the
Executive's estate or beneficiaries, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within
30 days after the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other
Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 4(b) shall
include, without limitation, and the Executive's estate and/or beneficiaries
shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable
benefits provided by the Company and affiliated companies to the estates and
beneficiaries of the Executive's peer executives of the Company and such
affiliated companies under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating
to death benefits, if any, in effect on the date hereof or, if more favorable,
those in effect on the date of the Executive's death.

          (c) Disability. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason
of the Executive's Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment
of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits.
Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within
30 days after the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other
Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 4(c) shall
include, without limitation, and the Executive shall be entitled after the
Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least
equal to the most favorable benefits generally provided by the Company and its
affiliated companies to the Executive's disabled peer executives and/or their
families in accordance


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if
any, in effect generally on the date hereof or, if more favorable, those in
effect at the time of the Disability.

          (d) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive's employment
is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than the
obligation to pay to the Executive (x) his Annual Base Salary through the Date
of Termination, (y) the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the
Executive, and (z) Other Benefits, in each case to the extent theretofore
unpaid. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment
Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate
without further obligations to the Executive, other than for Accrued Obligations
and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. In such case, all Accrued
Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days
after the Date of Termination subject to such other options or restrictions as
provided by law.

     5.  Other Rights. Except as provided hereinafter, nothing in this Agreement
shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any
plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its
affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, shall
anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have
under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated
companies. Except as provided hereinafter, amounts which are vested benefits or
which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy,
practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of
its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be
payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or
agreement. It is expressly agreed by the Executive that he shall have no right
to receive, and hereby waives any entitlement to, any severance pay or similar
benefit under any other plan, policy, practice or program of the Company. In
addition, if the Executive has an employment or similar agreement with the
Company at the Date of Termination, he agrees that he shall have the right to
receive all of the benefits provided under this Agreement or such other
agreement, whichever one, in its entirety, the Executive chooses, but not both
agreements, and when the Executive has made such election, the other agreement
shall be superseded in its entirety and shall be of no further force and effect.
The Executive also agrees that to the extent he may be eligible for any
severance pay or similar benefit under any laws providing for severance or
termination benefits, such other severance pay or similar benefit shall be
coordinated with the benefits owed hereunder, such that the Executive shall not
receive duplicate benefits.

     6.   Full Settlement.

          (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company's obligation to make the payments
provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations
hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the
Executive or others.


                                       10
<PAGE>   11

          (b) No Mitigation Required. In no event shall the Executive be
obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation
of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this
Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive
obtains other employment.

          (c) Legal Fees. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full
extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expense which the Executive may
reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof)
by the Company or the Executive of the validity or enforceability of, or
liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance
thereto (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount
of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any
delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

     7.   Certain Additional Payments by the Company.

          (a) Although this Agreement is not being entered into in connection
with or contingent upon a change of control of the Company, anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the
event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to
or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but
determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section
7) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect
to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then
the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up
Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes
(including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties
imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment,
the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax
imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7(a), if it shall be determined that the Executive is entitled to a
Gross-Up Payment, but that the Executive, after taking into account the Payments
and the Gross-Up Payment, would not receive a net after-tax benefit of at least
$50,000 (taking into account both income taxes and any Excise Tax) as compared
to the net after-tax proceeds to the Executive resulting from an elimination of
the Gross-Up Payment and a reduction of the Payments, in the aggregate, to an
amount (the "Reduced Amount") such that the receipt of Payments would not give
rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Executive
and the Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7(c), all determinations
required to be made under this Section 7, including whether and when a Gross-Up
Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions
to be utilized in arriving at such determination shall be made by Arthur
Andersen LLP or, as provided below, such other certified


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

public accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive (the "Accounting
Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company
and the Executive within 15 business days after the receipt of notice from the
Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by
the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or
auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change of control, the
Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make
the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be
referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as
determined pursuant to this Section 7, shall be paid by the Company to the
Executive within five days after the receipt of the Accounting Firm's
determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon
the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application
of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not
have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent
with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the
Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7(c) and the Executive
thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm
shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the
Executive.

          (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by
the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by
the Company of the Gross-Up Payment (or an additional Gross-Up Payment) in the
event the Internal Revenue Service seeks higher payment. Such notification shall
be given as soon as practicable, but no later than ten business days after the
Executive is informed in writing of such claim, and shall apprise the Company of
the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the
30-day period following the date on which he gives such notice to the Company
(or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with
respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing
prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim,
the Executive shall:

               (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the
     Company relating to such claim,

               (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
     the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
     including without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect
     to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

               (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order
     effectively to contest such claim, and

               (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
     relating to such claims; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and
     pay directly all costs and


                                       12
<PAGE>   13

     expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
     connection with such costs and shall indemnify and hold the Executive
     harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax
     (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result
     of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without
     limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(c), the Company
     shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at
     its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
     proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect
     of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to
     pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any
     permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to
     determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
     jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall
     determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to
     pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount
     of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall
     indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any
     Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect
     thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any
     imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any
     extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for
     the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested
     amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.
     Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to
     issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder
     and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may
     be, any other issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other
     taxing authority.

         (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the
Company pursuant to Section 7(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any
refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company's
complying with the requirements of Section 7(c)) promptly pay to the Company the
amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after
taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount
advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 7(c), a determination is made that
the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and
the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest
such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to
be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof,
the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

     8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information,
knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies,
and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive
during the Executive's employment by the Company or any of its affiliated
companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall
become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives
of the Executive in violation of this Agreement), information that is developed
by the Executive independently of such information,


                                       13
<PAGE>   14


or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a
third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After
termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be
required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it.
In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 8
constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to
the Executive under this Agreement.

     9.   Successors.

          (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be
assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the Executive's legal representatives.

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the Company and its successors and assigns.

          (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as
aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
law, or otherwise.

     10.  Miscellaneous.


          (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT
OF LAWS. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof
and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified

compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any
right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including without
limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason
pursuant to Section 3(c)(i)-(vi) of this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this
