hereunder, Employee shall comply with and follow in all directives, policies, standards and regulations from time to time established by the Board of Directors of CHI and OMNI. 
 2. Term of Employment. Employee’s employment by CHI pursuant to this Agreement shall continue in effect until December 31, 2009 (the
“Initial Period”), which shall be automatically extended for additional, successive one year periods (the “Additional Periods”) commencing on January 1, 2010, unless either party gives notice of non-renewal as provided in
Section 6(d) or otherwise terminates this Agreement in accordance with the other provisions of Section 6. 
 3. Representations
and Warranties. Employee represents and warrants that Employee is under no contractual or other restrictions or obligations that will limit Employee’s activities on behalf of CHI or OMNI or will prohibit or limit the disclosure or use by
Employee of any information which directly or indirectly relates to the business of CHI or OMNI or the services to be rendered by Employee under this Agreement. 
 4. Compensation. Subject to the provisions of Section 6, Employee will be entitled to the compensation and benefits set forth in this Section 4. 
 (a) During the Initial Period, OMNI shall pay Employee an Annual Base Salary, payable semi-monthly, in equal semi-monthly installments at a rate equal to
$150,000 per year. In each Additional Period, CHI shall pay to Employee an Annual Base Salary (not less than $150,000 per year) determined by the OMNI Board of Directors following its annual salary and performance review. Employee’s Annual Base
Salary will be reviewed annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year of Employee’s employment hereunder, commencing in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. 
 (b) Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus. For 2007, the bonus will be calculated per Exhibit “C” (attached) as if the Employee were a Unit Vice President. The bonus targets for subsequent

 (c) All payments of salary and other compensation to Employee shall be made after deduction of any taxes required to be withheld with respect thereto
under applicable federal and state laws.

made available for salaried, exempt employees, including sick leave and disability leave, health insurance, 401(k) plans and Stock Incentive Plans. 
 (b) CHI will reimburse Employee for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Employee in the scope of Employee’s employment; provided, however, that Employee must file expense reports with respect to such expenses and otherwise
comply with CHI’s and OMNI’s policies as are in effect from time to time and are made known to Employee. 
 (c) During the term of
employment of Employee hereunder, Employee shall be entitled to paid vacation during each calendar year (prorated for any partial year) and to paid holidays and other paid leave set forth in and in accordance with CHI’s and OMNI’s policies
in effect from time to time for other salaried, exempt employees. Any vacation not used during a calendar year may not be used during any subsequent period. Employee shall be compensated for any unused vacation upon termination of this Agreement for
any reason. 
 6. Termination or Non-Renewal of Employment. 
 (a) Termination by CHI Without Cause. CHI may terminate Employee’s employment hereunder at any time during the term of this Agreement Without
Cause by delivery of thirty (30) days prior written notice by CHI to Employee. After such termination of employment, CHI shall pay: (i) the Annual Base Salary then in effect in semi-monthly payments and in accordance with CHI’s normal
payroll practices for the remainder of the Initial Period if Employee is terminated during the Initial Period and (ii) vacation pay earned but not taken to the date of such termination. Upon termination of Employee’s employment hereunder,
Employee shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices, directorships, and committee positions then held with CHI, OMNI or any Affiliate.

written notice of termination setting forth the event or events constituting Cause and the effective date of such termination) the payments due to Employee shall be limited to the amounts described in Section 6(b)(i) and (ii). Upon termination
of Employee’s employment hereunder, Employee shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices, directorships, and committee positions then held with CHI, OMNI or any Affiliate. 
 (d) Non-Renewal of Employment. Either CHI or Employee may elect not to renew Employee’s employment hereunder at the end of the Initial
Period, or at the end of any Additional Period thereafter, by delivery of thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice by the electing party to the other party. At the expiration of the employment term, CHI shall pay to Employee an amount
equal to the sum of: (i) Employee’s earned but unpaid Annual Base Salary through the date of termination of employment at the rate then in effect and (ii) vacation pay earned but not taken to the date of such termination. Upon

rights Employee may have to bring any cause of action or proceeding contesting any such termination or non-renewal; provided, however, that such waiver shall not be deemed to affect Employee’s rights to enforce any other obligations of CHI or
OMNI unrelated to employment Under no circumstances shall Employee be entitled to any compensation or confirmation of any benefits under this Agreement for any period of time following Employee’s date of termination if Employee’s
termination is for Cause. 
 (f) Death. If Employee dies during his employment by CHI under this Agreement, (i) the
Employee’s employment will terminate on the date of his death, (ii) CHI will pay to Employee’s estate the remainder of Employee’s Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect through the end of the month following the month in

 7. Covenant Not to Compete. 
 (a) During Employee’s employment with CHI or any of its Affiliates and thereafter during the Restricted Period (as defined in Exhibit A attached
hereto), Employee will not engage in or carry on, directly or indirectly, either in Employee’s individual capacity or as a member of a partnership or as a shareholder, investor, owner, officer or director of a company or other entity, or as an
employee, agent, associate or consultant of any person, partnership, corporation or other entity, any business in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi or any parish or county thereof (including but not limited to the Parishes and Counties listed on Exhibit
“B”) or the offshore waters within one-hundred (100) miles of the coast of any such state that directly competes with any services or products produced, sold, provided, conducted or developed, by CHI or OMNI on the date of termination
of Employee’s employment including the services described on Exhibit A as “OMNI’s Business.” 
 (b) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to be in violation of Section 7(a) based solely on the ownership of: (a) less than five (5%) percent of any class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
or (b) CHI Labor Services, Inc. or its successor in interest ( collectively “CHI Labor”). 
 (c) Employee acknowledges that
the limitations set forth in this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of CHI and OMNI and its Affiliates. In this regard, Employee specifically agrees that the limitations as to period of time and geographic area, as well
as all other restrictions on Employee’s activities specified herein, are reasonable and necessary for the protection of CHI and OMNI and its Affiliates. Employee further acknowledges that the parties anticipate that Employee will be actively
seeking markets for the products and services of CHI and OMNI and its Affiliates throughout the United States during Employee’s employment with CHI. 
 (d) In the event that there shall be any violation of the covenants set forth in this Section 7, then the time limitation thereof shall be automatically extended for a period of time equal to the period of time
during which such violation continues; and in the event CHI or OMNI is required to seek relief from such violation in any court, board of arbitration or other tribunal, then the covenant shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency
of such proceedings, including all appeals. 
 (e) Employee agrees that the remedy at law for any breach by Employee of this Section 7
will be inadequate and that CHI and OMNI shall also be entitled to injunctive relief. 
 8. Non-solicitation. During Employee’s
employment with CHI or any of its Affiliates and thereafter during the Restricted Period, Employee will not whether for the Employee’s own account or the account of any other Person (a) solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee,
independent contractor, or otherwise, any Person who is an employee of CHI, OMNI or any of its Affiliates or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any employee of CHI, OMNI and any such Affiliate to terminate his employment with CHI, OMNI or
such Affiliate or (b) interfere with CHI’s, OMNI’s or any of its Affiliate’s relationship with any Person, including any Person who at any time during the Employee’s employment with CHI, was 







 
an employee, contractor, supplier, or customer of CHI, OMNI or any such Affiliate. The ownership and operation of CHI Labor shall not be deemed to violate
the provisions of this section. 
 9. Confidential Information; Business Opportunity. During the term of Employee’s employment
hereunder, and for five (5) years after Employee’s termination of employment, Employee shall not use or disclose, without the prior written consent of OMNI, Confidential Information (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto) relating to
CHI, OMNI or any of its Affiliates, and upon termination of Employee’s employment will return to CHI all written materials in Employee’s possession embodying such Confidential Information. Employee will promptly disclose to CHI all
Confidential Information, as well as any domestic business opportunity related to CHI or OMNI which comes to Employee’s attention during the term of Employee’s employment with CHI. Employee will not take advantage of or divert any such
business opportunity for the benefit of Employee or any other Person (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto) without the prior written consent of CHI. Employee agrees that the remedy at law for any breach by Employee of this Section 9 will be
inadequate and that CHI and OMNI shall also be entitled to injunctive relief. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the Employee’s ownership and operation of CHI Labor during the term of his employment. 
 10. Intellectual Property. 
 (a) To
the extent they relate to, or result from, directly or indirectly, the actual or anticipated operations of CHI, OMNI or any of its Affiliates, Employee hereby agrees that all patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and other intellectual
property rights, all inventions, whether or not patentable, and any product, drawing, design, recording, writing, literary work or other author’s work, in any other tangible form developed in whole or in part by Employee during the term of this

any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

 The table provides a list of specific performance targets and the maximum
allowable percentage for each milestone. The executives must receive a minimum of 80% of the target goal to receive any portion thereof. Likewise, the maximum allowable bonus can never exceed 120% in any one category. Any payouts would then be
prorated in accordance to the successful completion of the goals listed in the following table. The bonus pool will be created by combining all three executives’ incentive bonus and each will be eligible for one-third of the total bonus money
available in the pool.
