                         EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
made and entered into as of the 2nd day of November 2005 (the "Effective Date")
by and between JOSEPH P. HARPER, SR. ("Mr. Harper;") STERLING CONSTRUCTION
COMPANY, INC. ("Sterling") and STERLING GENERAL, INC. ("SGI") each with a place
of business in Harris County, Texas; and STERLING HOUSTON HOLDINGS, INC. ("SHH")

                                   BACKGROUND

Mr. Harper, Sterling and SHH are the parties to that certain Executive
Employment Agreement dated as of July 18, 2004 (the "Employment Agreement.")
Sterling, SHH and Mr. Harper, noting that Mr. Harper is a director, officer and
employee of SGI, now wish to amend the Employment Agreement because each
believes that it is in the best interests of Sterling and its affiliates that
Mr. Harper cease to be a director, officer and employee of SHH.

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and
valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1.   Sterling General, Inc. is hereby substituted for Sterling Houston Holdings,
     Inc. as a party to the Employment Agreement; the definition of "Companies"
     in the preface to the Employment Agreement is amended to mean Sterling and
     SGI; and SHH as of the date hereof ceases to be a party to the Employment
     Agreement.

2.   Each reference in the Employment Agreement to "Sterling Houston Holdings,
     Inc." is hereby replaced by a reference to "Sterling General, Inc.", and
     each reference to "SHH" is hereby replaced by a reference to "SGI," except
     as follows:

     (a)  In Section 1 ("Prior Agreements") the reference to "SHH" is amended to
          read "Sterling Houston Holdings, Inc. ("SHH")".

     (b)  In subsection (i) of Section 5(b) ("Incentive Compensation") the
          reference in the third line to "SHH" is amended to read "Texas
          Sterling Construction, L.P."

     (c)  In subsection (f) of Section 6 ("Termination") no change shall be made
          to the reference to SHH.

     (d)  In Schedule A ("Definition of EBITDA") the phrase "SHH and its
          consolidated subsidiaries for a given fiscal year" is amended to read
          "Texas Sterling Construction, L.P. for a given fiscal year".

3.   By the execution hereof, Mr. Harper waives any and all rights that he may
     have under the Employment Agreement arising out of the fact that he has
     ceased to be a director, officer and employee of SHH.

4.   In all other respects, the Employment Agreement shall remain as originally
     written.

EXECUTED effective as of the Effective Date.

     (b) The term “Damages” as used in this Article VIII is not limited to matters asserted by
third parties against any indemnified party, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by an
indemnified party in the absence of third party claims. Payments by any indemnified party of
amounts for which such indemnified party is indemnified hereunder shall not be a condition
precedent to recovery.

     (c) Defense of Claims. If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a
party entitled to indemnification hereunder against the indemnifying party, the party claiming such
indemnification shall, give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party
promptly after the party entitled to indemnification becomes aware of any fact, condition or event
which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 7.2. If
any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity
hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as
practicable (and in any event within ten (10) calendar days after the service of the citation or
summons). The failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice hereunder for any purpose
shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying
party has been actually prejudiced by such failure. After such notice, if the indemnifying party
shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party shall be
obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action,
then the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense,
(i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and
engage attorneys of its own choice, but, in any event, reasonably acceptable to the indemnified
party, to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and
the indemnified party has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party and would potentially create a conflict of interest, in which event the
indemnified party shall be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and expense, to
separate counsel of its own choosing, but in any event, reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying
party and (iii) to compromise or settle such lawsuit or action, which compromise or settlement
shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnified party.

     If the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such lawsuit or action within fifteen
(15) calendar days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the indemnified party against which such
lawsuit or action has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying
party) have the right to undertake, at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense, the defense,
compromise or settlement of such lawsuit or action on behalf of and for the account and risk of the
indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action
effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.2 and for any final judgment (subject to
any right of appeal) and the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an
indemnified party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment in
accordance with the other provisions of this Section 7.2(c).

     (d) Cooperation. The indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with
the indemnifying party and its Representatives (including without limitation its attorneys) in the
investigation, trial and defense of any lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom;
provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in negotiations,
arbitrations and the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal
arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.
The indemnified party shall at all times keep the indemnifying party informed of all information
and documents relating to the Claim of which it is aware and, if requested by the indemnifying
party, give the indemnifying party and its or their Representatives reasonable access to the
personnel of the indemnified party and/or its Representatives, as appropriate, and to any relevant
premises, chattels, accounts, documents and records within the power, possession or control of such
Persons to enable the indemnifying party and its Representatives to examine such Claim.

17

 

     (e) Representatives. No individual Representative of any party shall be personally
liable for any Damages under the provisions contained in this Section 7.2 (except to the extent any
such Person is party hereto in his or her individual capacity). Nothing herein shall relieve either
party of any liability to make any payment expressly required to be made by such party pursuant to
this Agreement.
