accordance with the provisions of Section 5 hereof; provided, however, that
beginning on the second anniversary date of the date hereof and on each
anniversary date of the date hereof thereafter, the Term of this Agreement shall
be automatically extended one additional year unless either party gives written
notice to the other prior to such anniversary of the date hereof that the Term

and power to do all acts and things as are customarily done by a person holding
the same or equivalent position or performing duties similar to those to be
performed by executives in corporations of similar size to the Company and shall
perform such managerial duties and responsibilities for the Company which are
not inconsistent with his position as he may agree to, or as may reasonably be

the Executive, the Executive shall be based at the Company's principal executive
offices located in the greater Houston, Texas metropolitan area.

     3. EXTENT OF SERVICE. (a) The Executive shall devote his full business time
and attention to the business of the Company. During the Term of this Agreement,

Gexa), (ii) serve on any civic or charitable boards or committees, (iii) deliver
lectures, fulfill teaching or speaking engagements, (iv) testify as a witness in
litigation involving a former employer or (v) manage personal investments;
provided, however, any such activities must not consume in the aggregate more

<PAGE>

     (b) The Executive represents and covenants to the Company that he is not
subject or a party to any employment agreement, noncompetition covenant,
nondisclosure agreement, or any similar agreement or covenant that would
prohibit the Executive from executing this Agreement and fully performing his
duties and responsibilities hereunder, or would in any manner, directly or
indirectly, limit or affect the duties and responsibilities that may now or in
the future be assigned to the Executive hereunder. The Executive further
represents and warrants that he is not presently subject to any legal actions,
claims or administrative proceedings, including bankruptcy proceedings or IRS
audits or proceedings, which would affect his ability to perform his
responsibilities hereunder.

     (c) The Executive agrees and acknowledges that he owes a fiduciary duty of
loyalty, fidelity and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests of
the Company and to do no act and to make no statement, oral or written, which
would injure the Company's business, its interests or its reputation.

     (d) The Executive agrees to execute and comply at all times during the
Employment Period with all applicable policies, rules and regulations of the
Company, including, without limitation, the Company's business ethics policy and
the Company's policy regarding trading in the Common Stock, as each is in effect
from time to time during the Employment Period.

4.       COMPENSATION.

     (a) In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Executive to the
Company, the Company will pay the Executive a salary ("Salary") of $130,000.00
per year during the Term of this Agreement. Such Salary will be payable in
conformity with the Company's prevailing practice for executives' compensation
as such practice shall be established or modified from time to time. Salary
payments shall be subject to all applicable federal and state withholding,
payroll and other taxes. From time to time during the Term of this Agreement,
the amount of the Executive's Salary may be further increased by, and at the
sole discretion of, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board" and the "Compensation Committee"), which shall review the
Executive's Salary no less regularly than annually

     (b) The Company hereby agrees to grant to the Executive nonqualified stock
options covering 120,000 shares of common stock (the "Options"). In addition the
Company shall grant to Executive 20,000 shares of common stock which stock shall
bear restricted legend pursuant to the Company's 2004 Incentive Stock Plan.
Options will be issued pursuant to the Company's 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the
"Plan") which has been adopted by the Board and is to be submitted to the
stockholders of the Company for approval within 12 months of the date of this
Agreement. The Options will be granted on the execution date of this Agreement
(the "Date of Grant"). The Option will have a strike price determined under the
Plan as of the Date of Grant, will have a 10 year term and will provide for
vesting of one-third of the option shares on each of the first three
anniversaries of the date of this Agreement. The Executive is, subject to
compliance with the Plan, eligible for stock options as determined by the
Compensation Committee on an annual basis in their sole discretion. The
restricted shares shall vest 12 months from the date of Grant and shall only
vest provided Executive is employed by Company on the first anniversary of this
agreement.

     (c) The Executive will be considered for an annual cash and/or stock bonus
based on an evaluation of his performance by the Company. Any such bonus will be
at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee;

     (d) During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay or reimburse
the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for travel, meals, hotel
accommodations, entertainment and the like incurred by him in connection with
the business of the Company upon submission by him and approval of an
appropriate statement documenting such expenses as required by the Company's
policy and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

     (e) The Executive shall be entitled to two weeks of paid vacation during
each calendar year during the term of this Agreement. Vacation shall accrue on
the first day of each calendar year. The Company shall not pay the Executive for
any accrued but unused portion of vacation and any such unused portion of
vacation shall not be carried forward to the next year.

     (f) During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to
participate in and to receive all rights and benefits under any life,
disability, medical and dental, health and accident and profit sharing or
deferred compensation plans and such other plan or plans as may be implemented
by the Company during the term of this Agreement. The Executive shall also be
entitled to participate in and to receive all rights and benefits under any plan
or program adopted by the Company for any other or group of other executive
employees of the Company, including without limitation, the rights and benefits
under the directors' and officers' liability insurance in place from time to
time under the Company's insurance program for the directors and officers of the
Company.

     (g) The Company shall cause Executive to be covered by any policy or
contract of insurance obtained by it to insure its directors and officers
against personal liability for acts or omissions in connection with service as
an officer or director of Company or service in other capacities at the request
of the company. The coverage provided to Executive pursuant to this paragraph
shall be of a scope and on terms and conditions at least as favorable as the
most favorable coverage provided to any other officer or director of Company (or
any successor). In addition, the Company agrees that any Indemnification
Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Executive, as well as
all other rights to which Executive is entitled with regard to indemnification

     5. TERMINATION.

     (a) Termination by Company; Discharge for Cause. The Company shall be
entitled to terminate this Agreement and the Executive's employment with the
Company at any time and for whatever reason; or at any time for "Cause" (as
defined below) by written notice to the Executive. Termination of the
Executive's employment by the Company shall constitute a termination for "Cause"
if such termination is for one or more of the following reasons: (i) the willful
failure or refusal of the Executive to render services to the Company in
accordance with his obligations under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the willful failure or refusal of the Executive to comply with the
work rules, policies, procedures, and directives as established by the Company
and consistent with this Agreement; such failure or refusal to be uncured and
continuing for a period of not less than fifteen (15) days after notice
outlining the situation is given by the Company to the Executive; (ii) the
commission by the Executive of an act of fraud or embezzlement; (iii) the
commission by the Executive of any other action with the intent to injure the
Company or any act that could have been reasonably foreseen to materially injure
the Company that in fact materially injures the Company; (iv) the Executive
having been indicted for a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (v) the
Executive having misappropriated the property of the Company; (vi) the Executive
having engaged in personal misconduct which materially injures the Company; or
(vii) the Executive having willfully violated any law or regulation relating to
the business of the Company which results in material injury to the Company. In
the event of the Executive's termination by the Company for Cause hereunder, the
Executive shall be entitled to no severance or other termination benefits except
for any unpaid Salary accrued through the date of termination. A termination of
this Agreement by the Company without Cause pursuant to this Section 5(a) (which
shall expressly not include the decision by the Company to not renew the Term of
this Agreement for any additional one year periods as provided in Section 1
above) shall entitle the Executive to the Severance Payment and other benefits
specified in Section 5(e) hereof.

     (b) Death. If the Executive dies during the term of this Agreement and
while in the employ of the Company, this Agreement shall automatically terminate
and the Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive or his estate
except that the Company shall pay to the Executive's estate that portion of his
Salary and benefits accrued through the date of death. All such payments to the
Executive's estate shall be made in the same manner and at the same time as the
Executive's Salary.

     (c) Disability. If during the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall
be prevented from performing his duties hereunder for a period of 90 days by
reason of disability, then the Company, on 30 days' prior notice to the
Executive, may terminate this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Executive shall be deemed to have become disabled when the Company, upon
verification by a physician designated by the Company, shall have determined
that the Executive has become physically or mentally unable (excluding
infrequent and temporary absences due to ordinary illness) to perform the
essential functions of his duties under this Agreement with reasonable
accommodation. In the event of a termination pursuant to this paragraph (c), the
Company shall be relieved of all its obligations under this Agreement, except
that the Company shall pay to the Executive or his estate in the event of his
subsequent death, that portion of the Executive's Salary and benefits accrued
through the date of such termination. All such payments to the Executive or his
estate shall be made in the same manner and at the same time as his Salary would
have been paid to him had he not become disabled.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     (d) Voluntary Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the Executive shall be entitled to voluntarily terminate this Agreement and his
employment with the Company at his pleasure upon thirty (30) days written notice
to such effect. In such event, the Executive shall not be entitled to any
further compensation other than any unpaid Salary and benefits accrued through
the date of termination. At the Company's option, the Company may elect to have
the Employee leave after notice of Voluntary Termination and discontinue all pay
to the Executive including the salary and benefits that the Executive would have
received during such thirty (30) day period in lieu of requiring the Executive
to stay at the Company.

     (e) Termination Benefits Upon Involuntary Termination. In the event that
the Company terminates this Agreement and the Executive's employment with the
Company for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in Section 5(a) hereof)
or the death or disability (as defined in Section 5(c) hereof) of the Executive,
then the Company shall continue to pay the Executive, for ninety (90) days after
the date of termination, the Executive's annual Salary in existence at the time
immediately preceding the date of termination; provided that if the date of
termination occurs after the first anniversary of this Agreement, such annual
Salary will be continued only for sixty (60) days after the date of termination,
in all cases at the same time as the Company pays its other employees and minus
applicable withholding and authorized salary reductions (in each case, the
"Severance Payment"). In addition, following such termination, the Executive
shall be entitled to or effected by modifications to the following benefits
(collectively, the "Additional Benefits");

     (i) immediate termination of any of the Executive's outstanding options to
purchase securities of the Company which were not vested by their own terms on
the date of termination;

     (ii) continued coverage, at the Company's cost, under the Company's group
health plan for the applicable coverage period under the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA") but only if Executive
elects such COBRA continuation in accordance with the time limits and in the
applicable COBRA regulations, and provided, further, that if the Executive
obtains any employment or consulting work during the period during which the
COBRA benefits are being paid by the Company, such COBRA benefits shall be
reduced to the extent the Executive is eligible to receive similar benefits
pursuant to such new employment or consulting work; and

     (iii) an amount, in cash, equal to any unreimbursed expenses incurred by
the Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder and in compliance with
Company policy through the date of termination.

                                       5

     The parties agree that, because there can be no exact measure of the
damages which would occur to the Executive as a result of termination of
employment, such payments contemplated in this Section 5(e) shall be deemed to
constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty. The termination compensation in
this Section 5(e) shall be paid only if the Executive executes a termination
agreement releasing all legally waivable claims arising from the Executive's
employment.

     (f) Survival. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement under this
Section 5, the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement, and all other
provisions hereof which by their terms are to be performed following the
termination hereof shall survive such termination and be continuing obligations.

     6. CONSENT AND WAIVER BY THIRD PARTIES. The Executive hereby represents and
warrants that he has obtained all necessary waivers and/or consents from third
parties as to enable him to accept employment with the Company on the terms and
conditions set forth herein and to execute and perform this Agreement without
being in conflict with any other agreement, obligations or understanding with
any such third party.

     7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive acknowledges that in the course
of his employment with the Company, he has received and will receive access to
confidential information of a special and unique value concerning the Company
and its business, including, without limitation, trade secrets, know-how, lists
of customers, employee records, books and records relating to operations, costs
or providing service and equipment, operating and maintenance costs, pricing
criteria and other confidential information and knowledge concerning the
business of the Company and its affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to
as "Confidential Information") which the Company desires to protect. The
Executive acknowledges that such Confidential Information is confidential and
the protection of such Confidential Information against unauthorized use or
disclosure is of critical importance to the Company. The Executive agrees that
he will not reveal such Confidential Information to any one outside the Company.
The Executive further agrees that during the term of this Agreement and
thereafter he will not use or disclose such Confidential Information. Upon
termination of his employment hereunder, the Executive shall surrender to the
Company all papers, documents, writings and other property produced by him or
coming into his possession by or through his employment hereunder and relating
to the Confidential Information referred to in this Section 7, and the Executive
agrees that all such materials will at all times remain the property of the
Company. The obligation of confidentiality, non-use and non- disclosure of
know-how set forth in this Section 7 shall not extend to know-how and
information (i) which was in the public domain prior to disclosure by the
disclosing party, (ii) which comes into the public domain other than through a
breach of this Agreement, (iii) which is disclosed to the Executive after the
termination of this Agreement by a third party having legitimate possession
thereof and the unrestricted right to make such disclosure, or (iv) which is
necessarily disclosed in the course of the Executive's performance of his duties
to the Company as contemplated in this Agreement. The agreements in this Section
7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section
7, the term "Company" shall include the Company and its Affiliates.

     8. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. The Executive acknowledges that he has been and
will continue to be provided with Confidential Information in the course of his
employment with the Company. For purposes of this Section 8, the term "Company"
shall include the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that in order
to protect the Company's Confidential Information, it is necessary to enter into
the following restrictive covenant, which is ancillary to the enforceable
promises between the Company and the Executive in Section 7 of this Agreement.
Commencing on the day after the end of the Probationary Period the Executive
covenants that the Executive shall, during the term of this Agreement and for a
period of 180 calendar days following the termination of the Executive's
employment hereunder for whatever reason, observe the following separate and
independent covenants:
