    Employee
agrees not to hire, solicit or attempt to solicit for employment by Employee or
any company to which he may be involved, either directly or indirectly, any
party who is an employee or independent contractor of the Company or any entity

    Employee
acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered all provisions of this
Agreement and agrees that:

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              Due
      to the nature of the Company's business, the foregoing covenants place no
      greater restraint upon Employee than is reasonably necessary to protect
      the business and goodwill of the
Company;

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
              These
      covenants protect the legitimate interests of the Company and do not serve
      solely to limit the Company's future competition;

            
	 	 	 
	 	

              (iii)

            	This

  trade;


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iv)

            	
              A
      breach of these covenants by Employee would cause irreparable damage to
      the Company;

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (v)

            	
              These
      covenants are reasonable in scope and are reasonably necessary to protect
      the Company's business and goodwill which the Company has established
      through its own expense and effort; and

            
	 	 	 
	 	

              (vi)

            	

              The
      signing of this Agreement is necessary as part of the consummation of the
      transactions described in the
preamble.

    13.           Arbitration.  If a
dispute should arise regarding this Agreement the parties agree that all claims,
disputes, controversies, differences or other matters in question arising out of
this relationship shall be settled finally, completely and conclusively by
arbitration in Houston, Texas in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Rules").  The
governing law of this Agreement shall be the substantive law of the State of

by Employee and the Company and shall not be discussed, disclosed or
communicated to any persons except as may be required for the preparation of
expert testimony.  On request of any party, the record of the
proceeding shall be sealed and may not be disclosed except insofar, and only
insofar, as may be necessary to enforce the award of the arbitrator and any
judgment enforcing an award.  The prevailing party shall be entitled
to recover reasonable and necessary attorneys' fees and costs from the
non-prevailing party and the determination of such fees and costs and the award
thereof shall be included in the claims to be resolved by the arbitrator

Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
