by the Company’s Compensation Policy or under Paragraph 13 of this letter.


 


3.       Salary.

the extent required, ,shareholder approval, the Company will cause the Parent to grant an option to purchase One Million Seven

(such effective date of a termination or resignation pursuant to any provision of Section 13 is hereinafter referred to as the
“Termination Date”). Upon such termination or resignation, the Executive shall be entitled to receive in cash an amount
equal to any accrued and unpaid salary to the Termination Date and any existing non-vested Stock Options shall immediately terminate.


 


As
used herein, the term “Cause” shall mean (i) a felony conviction of the Executive (other than for motor vehicle offenses
the effect of which do not materially impair the Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder), (ii) the commission by
the Executive of an act of fraud or embezzlement against the Company or any of its affiliates, (iii) willful misconduct or grossly

notice of such violation and the Executive persists in such violation, (vi) habitual neglect of duties, or (vii) insubordination
consisting of the Executive’s continued failure to take specific action reasonably requested by the Board of Directors that
is within his individual control and consistent with his status as a senior executive of the Company and his duties and responsibilities
hereunder. As used herein, the term “Good Reason” means:


 


(1)
the assignment to the Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with his status as President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company or a material adverse alteration in the nature or status of his responsibilities from those provided herein, or
the transfer of a significant portion of such responsibilities to one or more other persons; provided that a reassignment of Executive
to another position with the Company that is at the level of Vice President or higher shall not constitute Good Reason;


 


(2)
the failure by the Company to pay or provide to the Executive, within twenty (20) days of a written demand therefor, any amount

(4)
the requirement by the Company that Executive’s principal business office be relocated more than one hundred (100) miles

(d)
If during the Term the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company without Cause (and other than pursuant
to Section 13(b)) or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall, subject to the provisions of clause (2) below, be
entitled to receive severance pay equal to the sum of the following amounts (which shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after
the Termination Date, subject to clause (2) below):


 


(1)
an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid salary owing by the Company as of the Termination Date;


 


(2)
an amount equal to the Executive’s annual salary hereunder (at a rate then in effect) prorated for the period commencing
on the Termination Date and ending three (3) months after the Termination Date. The Company’s obligation to pay the amount
specified in this clause (ii) shall be subject to the Executive’s execution of a general release of all employment-related
claims against the Company and its affiliates, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Company; and


 


(e)
The foregoing obligations of the Executive shall survive the termination of his employment, regardless of the reasons or method
of termination. Each of the obligations shall be enforceable independently of every other obligation, and the existence of any
claim or cause of action that the Executive may have against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall
not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of these obligations.


 


(f)
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid regardless of
whether the Executive obtains other employment.


 


(g)
Upon any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Executive or reimburse the Executive

14.       Non-Interference.
During the Noninterference Period (as defined below), the Executive hereby agrees not to Interfere (as defined below) with the
Company within the Restricted Territory. For purposes of this Section, “Noninterference Period” means the period during
the term of the Executive’s employment with the Company and continuing until the second anniversary of the Termination Date
if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason. For purposes of this section, the term “Interfere”
means:


 


(i)
soliciting or counseling, personally or by or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation, the employment of any employee of
the Company, or requesting, inducing or attempting to influence any employee of the Company any to terminate his employment with
the Company; or


 


(ii)
requesting, inducing or attempting to influence any supplier of goods or services to Company to curtail or cancel any business
it transacts with the Company; or

(iii)
requesting, inducing or attempting to influence any customer of the Company to curtail or cancel any business they may transact
with the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Territory” means anywhere in the world.


 


If
any of the terms of this Section 14 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of
extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of being too extensive in any other
respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, and/or over the
maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it
may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.


 


15.       Remedies.
In addition to any other remedies provided, the parties agree that compliance with Paragraphs 9 and 14 of this Agreement and the
PIIA are necessary to protect the business and goodwill of Company, and that any breach of such Paragraphs and the PIIA will result
in irreparable and continuing harm to Company, for which monetary damages may not provide adequate relief. Accordingly, in the
event of any actual or threatened breach of Paragraphs 9 and 14 and the PIIA by you, Company and you agree that (i) Company shall
be entitled to all appropriate remedies, including but not limited to temporary restraining orders and injunctions enjoining or
restraining such actual or threatened breach and (ii) Company may cease providing consideration provided to you under this letter.
Executive hereby consents to the issuance of an injunction by any court of competent jurisdiction, without the need for posting
any bond.


 


16.       Withholding
Authorization. In addition to any remedies set forth in this letter, to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the
State of Texas, you authorize Company to withhold from any severance payments otherwise due to you and from any other funds held
for your benefit by Company, any damages or losses sustained by Company as a result of any material breach or other material violation
of this Agreement by Executive, pending resolution of the underlying dispute.


 


17.       409A.
It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided for in this letter is a separate “payment”
for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that payments of the
amounts set forth in this letter satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”) (Section 409A of the Code, together,
with any state law of similar effect, “Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5)
and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if the Executive determines that the payments and benefits provided under this letter constitute
“deferred compensation” under Section 409A and Executive is, on the Termination Date, a “specified employee”
of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely
to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of any
payments that are deferred compensation that are otherwise payable on the separation from service shall be delayed as follows:
on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is six months and one day after Executive’s “separation from service”
or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such earlier date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), the Executive
shall (A) pay to the Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the payments that the Executive would otherwise have received
through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the payments had not been so delayed pursuant to
this Section 17 and (B) commence paying the balance of the payments in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth
in this Letter.

18.       Amendment.
This letter agreement may not be amended or modified except by an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized
officer of the Company after approval by the Board.


 


19.       Entire
Agreement. This letter contains all of the terms of your employment with the Company and supersedes any prior understandings
or agreements, whether oral or written, between you and the Company.


 


20.       Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applicable
to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State.


 


We
hope that you find the foregoing terms acceptable. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.


 


Yours
Sincerely,
