     (a) On or prior to each Filing  Date,  the Company  shall  prepare and file
with the Commission a Registration  Statement  covering the resale of all of the
Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration
Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.
Each  Registration  Statement  filed  hereunder  shall be on Form S-1 and  shall
contain (unless  otherwise  directed by at least 85% in interest of the Holders)
substantially the "Plan of Distribution"  attached hereto as Annex A. Subject to

                                       3
<PAGE>
the terms of this Agreement,  the Company shall use its commercially  reasonable
best  efforts to cause a  Registration  Statement  filed  under  this  Agreement
(including,  without  limitation,  under Section 3(c)) to be declared  effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing  thereof,  but
in any event no later than the applicable  Effectiveness Date, and shall use its
commercially  reasonable  best  efforts  to  keep  such  Registration  Statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities
covered  by such  Registration  Statement  (i) have  been  sold,  thereunder  or
pursuant  to Rule 144,  or (ii) may be sold  without  volume  or  manner-of-sale
restrictions  pursuant to Rule 144, as  determined by the counsel to the Company
pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to
the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the  "Effectiveness  Period").  The
Company shall telephonically  request effectiveness of a Registration  Statement
as of 5:00 p.m.  Eastern Time on a Trading Day.  The Company  shall  immediately
notify  the  Holders  via  facsimile  or by  e-mail  of the  effectiveness  of a
Registration  Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company  telephonically
confirms  effectiveness  with the Commission,  which shall be the date requested
for  effectiveness  of such  Registration  Statement.  The Company shall, on the
Trading Day after the  effective  date of such  Registration  Statement,  file a
final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424.

     (b) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a),
if the  Commission  informs the Company that all of the  Registrable  Securities
cannot,  as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as
a secondary offering on a single registration  statement,  the Company agrees to
promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially  reasonable
efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration  Statement as required by
the Commission,  covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted
to be registered by the Commission,  on Form S-3 or such other form available to
register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering,  subject
to the provisions of Section 2(e); provided,  however, that prior to filing such
amendment,  the Company  shall be obligated to use diligent  efforts to advocate
with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the SEC Guidance,  including without limitation,  Compliance and
Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.

     (c)  Notwithstanding  any other  provision of this Agreement and subject to
the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the Commission or
any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities
permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary
offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate
with  the  Commission  for  the  registration  of all or a  greater  portion  of
Registrable Securities),  unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to
its  Registrable  Securities,   the  number  of  Registrable  Securities  to  be
registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:

                                       4
<PAGE>
     a.   First,  the Company  shall reduce or eliminate  any  securities  to be
          included  by any  Person  other  than a Holder  (provided  that to the
          extent that the Company issues  additional  shares of Common Stock and
          Warrants  pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of Exempt  Issuance
          in the  Purchase  Agreement,  for  purposes  of such  reduction,  such
          holders shall be cutback with the Holders  ratably  according to their
          initial purchases of securities from the Company); and

     b.   Second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by
          Warrant Shares  (applied,  in the case that some Warrant Shares may be
          registered,  to the  Holders  on a pro rata  basis  based on the total
          number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Holders).

In the event of a cutback hereunder,  the Company shall give the Holder at least
five (5) Trading Days prior  written  notice along with the  calculations  as to
such  Holder's   allotment.   In  the  event  the  Company  amends  the  Initial
Registration  Statement in accordance  with the foregoing,  the Company will use
its best  efforts  to file  with the  Commission,  as  promptly  as  allowed  by
Commission  or  SEC  Guidance  provided  to the  Company  or to  registrants  of
securities in general,  one or more registration  statements on Form S-1 or such
other form available to register for resale those  Registrable  Securities  that
were not  registered  for  resale  on the  Initial  Registration  Statement,  as
amended.

     (d) If: (i) the Initial Registration  Statement is not filed on or prior to
its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without
affording  the  Holders  the  opportunity  to review and  comment on the same as
required  by  Section  3(a)  herein,  the  Company  shall be  deemed to have not
satisfied  this  clause  (i)),  or (ii)  the  Company  fails  to file  with  the
Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration  Statement in accordance
with Rule 461  promulgated  by the Commission  pursuant to the  Securities  Act,
within five Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified  (orally or in
writing,  whichever  is  earlier)  by  the  Commission  that  such  Registration
Statement  will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further  review,  or
(iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails
to file a pre-effective  amendment and otherwise  respond in writing to comments
made by the Commission in respect of such  Registration  Statement within thirty
(30)  calendar  days  after  the  receipt  of  comments  by or  notice  from the
Commission  that such  amendment  is  required  in order  for such  Registration
Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering
for resale all of the  Registrable  Securities is not declared  effective by the
Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration  Statement,  or
(v) after the effective  date of a  Registration  Statement,  such  Registration
Statement  ceases  for any  reason to remain  continuously  effective  as to all
Registrable Securities included in such Registration  Statement,  or the Holders
are  otherwise not  permitted to utilize the  Prospectus  therein to resell such
Registrable Securities,  for more than fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days or
more than an  aggregate of  twenty-five  (25)  calendar  days (which need not be

                                       5
<PAGE>
consecutive  calendar  days)  during any  12-month  period (any such  failure or
breach  being  referred  to as an "Event",  and for  purposes of clauses (i) and
(iv),  the date on which such Event  occurs,  and for purpose of clause (ii) the
date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is  exceeded,  and for purpose of
clause  (iii) the date which such thirty (30)  calendar  day period is exceeded,
and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such fifteen (15) or twenty-five
(25) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as "Event
Date"),  then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or
under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of
each such Event Date (if the applicable  Event shall not have been cured by such
date) until the applicable  Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder
an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty,  equal to
the product of (1) the product of (A) 1.0% multiplied by (B) the quotient of (I)
the number of such Holder's Registrable  Securities that are not then covered by
a  Registration  Statement  that is then effective and available for use by such
Holder divided by (II) the total number of such Holder's Registrable  Securities
multiplied by (2) the aggregate  purchase price paid by such Holder  pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement;  provided, however, that, in the event that none of such
Holder's  Registrable  Securities are then covered by a  Registration  Statement
that is effective  and  available  for use by such  Holder,  the quotient of (I)
divided by (II) in clause  (1)(B) herein shall be deemed to equal 1. The parties
agree that the maximum  aggregate  liquidated  damages payable to a Holder under
this  Agreement  shall be 6% of the aggregate  Subscription  Amount paid by such
Holder  pursuant to the  Purchase  Agreement.  If the  Company  fails to pay any
partial  liquidated  damages  pursuant to this Section in full within seven days
after the date payable,  the Company will pay interest  thereon at a rate of 18%
per  annum  (or such  lesser  maximum  amount  that is  permitted  to be paid by
applicable  law) to the  Holder,  accruing  daily  from  the date  such  partial
liquidated  damages are due until such amounts,  plus all such interest thereon,
are paid in full. The partial  liquidated  damages  pursuant to the terms hereof
shall  apply on a daily pro rata basis for any  portion of a month  prior to the
cure of an Event.

     (e) If Form S-3 is not  available  for the  registration  of the  resale of
Registrable  Securities hereunder,  the Company shall (i) register the resale of
the  Registrable  Securities on another  appropriate  form and (ii) undertake to
register  the  Registrable  Securities  on Form  S-3 as  soon  as  such  form is
available,  provided that the Company shall  maintain the  effectiveness  of the
Registration  Statement  then  in  effect  until  such  time  as a  Registration
Statement on Form S-3  covering the  Registrable  Securities  has been  declared
effective by the Commission.

3. Registration Procedures.

     In connection with the Company's registration  obligations  hereunder,  the
Company shall:

                                       6
<PAGE>
     (a) Not less  than  five (5)  Trading  Days  prior  to the  filing  of each
Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing
of any related  Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any
document  that would be  incorporated  or deemed to be  incorporated  therein by
reference),  the Company  shall (i)  furnish to each  Holder  copies of all such
documents  proposed to be filed,  which documents (other than those incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such
Holders,  and (ii) cause its officers  and  directors,  counsel and  independent
registered  public  accountants  to  respond  to  such  inquiries  as  shall  be
necessary,  in the reasonable  opinion of respective  counsel to each Holder, to
conduct a reasonable  investigation  within the meaning of the  Securities  Act.
Notwithstanding  the above,  the Company  shall not be  obligated to provide the
Holders advance copies of any universal shelf registration statement registering
securities in addition to those required  hereunder,  or any Prospectus prepared
thereto.  The  Company  shall  not  file a  Registration  Statement  or any such
Prospectus or any  amendments or  supplements  thereto to which the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable  Securities shall  reasonably  object in good faith,
provided  that,  the Company is notified of such  objection  in writing no later
than five (5) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished  copies of a
Registration  Statement  or one (1) Trading  Day after the Holders  have been so
furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto.
Each Holder  agrees to furnish to the Company a completed  questionnaire  in the
form   attached  to  this   Agreement   as  Annex  B  (a  "Selling   Stockholder
Questionnaire")  on a date that is not less than two (2)  Trading  Days prior to
the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date
on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.

     (b) (i) Prepare and file with the  Commission  such  amendments,  including
post-effective  amendments,  to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used
in  connection  therewith as may be necessary to keep a  Registration  Statement
continuously  effective  as to the  applicable  Registrable  Securities  for the
Effectiveness  Period and prepare and file with the Commission  such  additional
Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act
all of the  Registrable  Securities,  (ii) cause the  related  Prospectus  to be
amended or supplemented by any required  Prospectus  supplement  (subject to the
terms of this  Agreement),  and,  as so  supplemented  or  amended,  to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424,  (iii) respond as promptly as  reasonably  possible to any
comments  received from the Commission with respect to a Registration  Statement
or any  amendment  thereto,  and (iv) comply in all material  respects  with the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to
the  disposition  of  all  Registrable  Securities  covered  by  a  Registration
Statement  during the applicable  period in accordance  (subject to the terms of
this Agreement) with the intended  methods of disposition by the Holders thereof
set forth in such Registration  Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as
so supplemented.

                                       7
<PAGE>
     (c)  If  during  the  Effectiveness   Period,  the  number  of  Registrable
Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then
registered in a Registration  Statement,  then the Company shall file as soon as
reasonably practicable,  but in any case prior to the applicable Filing Date, an
additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less
than the number of such Registrable Securities.

     (d) Notify the Holders of  Registrable  Securities to be sold (which notice
shall,  pursuant to clauses  (iii)  through (vi) hereof,  be  accompanied  by an
instruction  to suspend the use of the  Prospectus  until the requisite  changes
have been made) as promptly as reasonably  possible  (and, in the case of (i)(A)
below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested
by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading
Day following the day (i) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal
or state  governmental  authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or
the initiation of any Proceedings  for that purpose,  (ii) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification  with respect to the suspension of the qualification
or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any  jurisdiction,  or the  initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such
purpose,  (iii) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the
financial  statements  included  in  a  Registration  Statement  ineligible  for
inclusion  therein  or  any  statement  made  in  a  Registration  Statement  or
Prospectus or any document  incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference  untrue in any material  respect or that  requires any  revisions to a
Registration Statement,  Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a
Registration  Statement  or the  Prospectus,  as the  case  may be,  it will not
contain any untrue  statement  of a material  fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements  therein,
in light of the  circumstances  under which they were made, not misleading,  and
(iv) of the occurrence or existence of any pending  corporate  development  with
respect to the Company that the Company  believes  may be material and that,  in
the  determination  of the  Company,  makes it not in the best  interest  of the
Company  to  allow  continued   availability  of  a  Registration  Statement  or
Prospectus;  provided,  however,  that in no event shall any such notice contain
any  information  which  would  constitute  material,   non-public   information
regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

     (e) Use its commercially  reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of,
or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the
effectiveness  of a  Registration  Statement,  or  (ii)  any  suspension  of the
qualification  (or  exemption  from  qualification)  of any  of the  Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

     (f) Furnish to each Holder,  without charge, at least one conformed copy of
each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial

                                       8
<PAGE>
statements  and  schedules,   all  documents   incorporated   or  deemed  to  be
incorporated  therein by reference to the extent  requested by such Person,  and
all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person  (including those previously
furnished  or  incorporated  by  reference)  promptly  after the  filing of such
documents with the Commission;  provided,  that any such item which is available
on the EDGAR  system (or  successor  thereto)  need not be furnished in physical
form.

     (g) Subject to the terms of this Agreement,  the Company hereby consents to
the use of such  Prospectus and each amendment or supplement  thereto by each of
the selling  Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable
Securities  covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement  thereto,
except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).

     (h) The Company shall reasonably  cooperate with any broker-dealer  through
which a Holder  proposes to resell its  Registrable  Securities  in  effecting a
filing  with the FINRA  Corporate  Financing  Department  pursuant to FINRA Rule
5110, as requested by any such Holder.

     (i) Prior to any  resale of  Registrable  Securities  by a Holder,  use its
commercially  reasonable  efforts to register or qualify or  cooperate  with the
selling  Holders  in  connection  with the  registration  or  qualification  (or
exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities
for the  resale  by the  Holder  under the  securities  or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions  within the United  States as any Holder  reasonably  requests  in
writing,  to keep each  registration or qualification  (or exemption  therefrom)
effective  during the  Effectiveness  Period and to do any and all other acts or
things reasonably  necessary to enable the disposition in such  jurisdictions of
the Registrable  Securities  covered by each Registration  Statement;  provided,
that,  the Company shall not be required to qualify  generally to do business in
any jurisdiction  where it is not then so qualified,  subject the Company to any
material tax in any such jurisdiction  where it is not then so subject or file a
general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

     (j) If requested by a Holder,  cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the
timely  preparation  and  delivery  of  certificates   representing  Registrable
Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement,
which  certificates  shall be free,  to the  extent  permitted  by the  Purchase
Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities
to be in such  denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may
request.

     (k) Upon the  occurrence  of any event  contemplated  by Section  3(d),  as
promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances  taking into account the
Company's good faith  assessment of any adverse  consequences to the Company and
its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement

                                       9
<PAGE>
or amendment,  including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement
or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so
that,  as  thereafter  delivered,  neither  a  Registration  Statement  nor such
Prospectus will contain an untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to state
a  material  fact  required  to be  stated  therein  or  necessary  to make  the
statements  therein,  in light of the circumstances  under which they were made,
not misleading.  If the Company  notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses
(i)  through  (iv) of Section  3(d) above to suspend  the use of any  Prospectus
until the requisite  changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders
shall  suspend use of such  Prospectus.  The Company  will use its  commercially
reasonable  best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed
as promptly as is  practicable.  The Company  shall be entitled to exercise  its
right under this  Section  3(k) to suspend the  availability  of a  Registration
Statement and Prospectus,  subject to the payment of partial  liquidated damages
otherwise  required  pursuant  to  Section  2(d),  for a period not to exceed 60
calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.

     (l) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

     (m) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a
certified  statement  as to the  number of shares of Common  Stock  beneficially
owned by such Holder and, if  required by the  Commission,  the natural  persons
thereof that have voting and  dispositive  control  over the shares.  During any
periods  that the  Company  is unable  to meet its  obligations  hereunder  with
respect to the  registration  of the Registrable  Securities  solely because any
Holder  fails to furnish  such  information  within  three  Trading  Days of the
Company's  request,  any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to
such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may  otherwise  occur solely
because of such delay  shall be  suspended  as to such Holder  only,  until such
information is delivered to the Company.

4. Registration  Expenses.

     All fees and expenses  incident to the  performance of or compliance  with,
this  Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company  whether or not any
Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration  Statement.  The fees
and  expenses  referred to in the  foregoing  sentence  shall  include,  without
limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation,
fees and expenses of the Company's  counsel and  independent  registered  public
accountants)  (A) with  respect to filings  made with the  Commission,  (B) with
respect  to filings  required  to be made with any  Trading  Market on which the
Common Stock is then listed for trading, (C) in compliance with applicable state
securities  or Blue Sky laws  reasonably  agreed to by the  Company  in  writing
(including,  without  limitation,  fees and  disbursements  of  counsel  for the
Company  in  connection  with  Blue  Sky  qualifications  or  exemptions  of the
Registrable  Securities)  and  (D) if not  previously  paid  by the  Company  in
connection with an Issuer Filing, with respect to any filing that may be

                                       10
<PAGE>
required to be made by any broker  through which a Holder  intends to make sales
of Registrable Securities with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, so long as the
broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage  commission in connection
with such sale,  (ii)  printing  expenses  of the  Company  (including,  without
limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii)
messenger,  telephone  and  delivery  expenses  of the  Company,  (iv)  fees and
disbursements  of  counsel  for  the  Company,   (v)  Securities  Act  liability
insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance,  and (vi) fees and expenses
of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation
of the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement.  In addition,  the Company
shall be  responsible  for all of its internal  expenses  incurred in connection
with  the  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement
(including,  without  limitation,  all salaries and expenses of its officers and
employees  performing  legal or  accounting  duties),  the expense of any annual
audit and the fees and expenses  incurred in connection  with the listing of the
Registrable  Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.  In no
event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar  commissions of
any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the  Transaction  Documents,
any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

5. Indemnification.

     (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall,  notwithstanding any
termination  of this  Agreement,  indemnify and hold  harmless each Holder,  the
officers,  directors,  members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who
offer and sell  Registrable  Securities  as principal as a result of a pledge or
any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors
and employees  (and any other Persons with a functionally  equivalent  role of a
Person  holding such titles,  notwithstanding  a lack of such title or any other
title) of each of them,  each Person who  controls  any such Holder  (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities  Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
and  the  officers,  directors,  members,  stockholders,  partners,  agents  and
employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of
each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from  and  against  any and all  losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities,  costs
(including,  without  limitation,   reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  and  expenses
(collectively,  "Losses"),  as  incurred,  arising out of or relating to (1) any
untrue  or  alleged  untrue   statement  of  a  material  fact  contained  in  a
Registration  Statement,  any  Prospectus  or any form of  prospectus  or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out
of or relating to any omission or alleged  omission of a material  fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
any Prospectus or supplement  thereto, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged  violation by the
Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state  securities law, or
any rule or regulation  thereunder,  in connection  with the  performance of its
obligations under this Agreement,  except to the extent, but only to the extent,
that (i) such untrue  statements or omissions are based solely upon  information

                                       11
<PAGE>
regarding  such  Holder  furnished  in  writing to the  Company  by such  Holder
expressly  for use therein,  or to the extent that such  information  relates to
such Holder or such Holder's  proposed  method of  distribution  of  Registrable
Securities  and was  reviewed and  expressly  approved in writing by such Holder
expressly  for  use  in a  Registration  Statement,  such  Prospectus  or in any
amendment  or  supplement  thereto  (it being  understood  that the  Holder  has
approved  Annex A hereto for this  purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence
of an event of the type  specified  in Section  3(d)(iii)-(vi),  the use by such
Holder of an outdated,  defective or otherwise unavailable  Prospectus after the
Company has  notified  such Holder in writing that the  Prospectus  is outdated,
defective  or  otherwise  unavailable  for use by such  Holder  and prior to the
receipt by such Holder of the Advice  contemplated  in Section 6(d), but only if
and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the  misstatement  or
omission giving rise to such Loss would have been  corrected.  The Company shall
notify the  Holders  promptly of the  institution,  threat or  assertion  of any
Proceeding  arising from or in connection with the transactions  contemplated by
this  Agreement of which the Company is aware.  Such  indemnity  shall remain in
full force and effect  regardless of any  investigation  made by or on behalf of
such  indemnified  person and shall  survive  the  transfer  of any  Registrable
Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(h).

     (b)  Indemnification  by Holders.  Each  Holder  shall,  severally  and not
jointly,  indemnify  and hold  harmless the Company,  its  directors,  officers,
agents and employees,  each Person who controls the Company  (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the
directors,  officers,  agents or employees of such controlling  Persons,  to the
fullest  extent  permitted by applicable  law,  from and against all Losses,  as
incurred,  to the extent  arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder's
failure to comply with any applicable  prospectus  delivery  requirements of the
Securities  Act  through  no fault of the  Company  or (y) any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any
Prospectus,  or in any  amendment or  supplement  thereto or in any  preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of
a  material  fact  required  to be  stated  therein  or  necessary  to make  the
statements  therein (in the case of any  Prospectus  or supplement  thereto,  in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the
extent,  but only to the  extent,  that such  untrue  statement  or  omission is
contained  in any  information  so  furnished  in writing by such  Holder to the
Company  expressly  for  inclusion  in  such  Registration   Statement  or  such
Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent,  that such information
relates  to  such  Holder's  proposed  method  of  distribution  of  Registrable
Securities  and was  reviewed and  expressly  approved in writing by such Holder
expressly  for use in a  Registration  Statement (it being  understood  that the
Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose),  such Prospectus or in any
amendment  or  supplement  thereto or (iii) in the case of an  occurrence  of an
event of the type specified in Section  3(d)(iii)-(vi),  to the extent, but only
to the extent,  related to the use by such Holder of an  outdated,  defective or

                                       12
<PAGE>
otherwise  unavailable  Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in
writing that the Prospectus is outdated,  defective or otherwise unavailable for
use by such  Holder  and  prior to the  receipt  by such  Holder  of the  Advice
contemplated  in Section 6(d),  but only if and to the extent that following the
receipt of the Advice the  misstatement  or  omission  giving  rise to such Loss
would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder
under this Section  5(b) be greater in amount than the dollar  amount of the net
proceeds  received by such Holder  upon the sale of the  Registrable  Securities
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

     (c) Conduct of  Indemnification  Proceedings.  If any  Proceeding  shall be
brought or asserted  against  any Person  entitled to  indemnity  hereunder  (an
"Indemnified  Party"),  such Indemnified  Party shall promptly notify the Person
from whom  indemnity is sought (the  "Indemnifying  Party") in writing,  and the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and
the  payment  of all fees and  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  defense
thereof;  provided,  that,  the  failure of any  Indemnified  Party to give such
notice  shall  not  relieve  the  Indemnifying   Party  of  its  obligations  or
liabilities pursuant to this Agreement,  except (and only) to the extent that it
shall  be  finally  determined  by a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  (which
determination  is not  subject to appeal or further  review)  that such  failure
shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

     An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such  Proceeding  and to participate  in the defense  thereof,  but the fees and
expenses of such counsel  shall be at the expense of such  Indemnified  Party or
Parties  unless:  (1) the  Indemnifying  Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and  expenses,  (2) the  Indemnifying  Party shall have failed  promptly to
assume  the  defense  of  such  Proceeding  and  to  employ  counsel  reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding,  or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding  (including any impleaded  parties)  include both
such  Indemnified  Party  and  the  Indemnifying   Party,  and  counsel  to  the
Indemnified Party shall reasonably  believe that a material conflict of interest
is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified  Party
and the Indemnifying  Party (in which case, if such  Indemnified  Party notifies
the  Indemnifying  Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense  thereof and the reasonable  fees and expenses of no
more than one  separate  counsel  shall be at the  expense  of the  Indemnifying
Party).  The  Indemnifying  Party shall not be liable for any  settlement of any
such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified  Party,  effect any settlement of any pending
Proceeding  in respect of which any  Indemnified  Party is a party,  unless such
settlement includes an unconditional  release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

                                       13
<PAGE>
     Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of
the  Indemnified  Party  (including  reasonable  fees and expenses to the extent
incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding
in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified
Party,  as incurred,  within ten Trading Days of written  notice  thereof to the
Indemnifying  Party;  provided,  that,  the  Indemnified  Party  shall  promptly
reimburse  the  Indemnifying  Party for that  portion of such fees and  expenses
applicable  to  such  actions  for  which  such  Indemnified  Party  is  finally
determined  by a court of competent  jurisdiction  (which  determination  is not
subject to appeal or  further  review)  not to be  entitled  to  indemnification
hereunder.

     (d)  Contribution.  If the  indemnification  under  Section 5(a) or 5(b) is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party
harmless for any Losses,  then each  Indemnifying  Party shall contribute to the
amount  paid or payable by such  Indemnified  Party,  in such  proportion  as is
appropriate  to  reflect  the  relative  fault  of the  Indemnifying  Party  and
Indemnified  Party in connection with the actions,  statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable  considerations.
The relative fault of such  Indemnifying  Party and  Indemnified  Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things,  whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue  statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to
information  supplied by, such Indemnifying  Party or Indemnified Party, and the
parties'  relative intent,  knowledge,  access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent  such  action,  statement  or  omission.  The amount  paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the  limitations set forth in this  Agreement,  any reasonable  attorneys' or
other fees or expenses  incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding
to the extent such party would have been  indemnified  for such fees or expenses
if the indemnification  provided for in this Section was available to such party
in accordance with its terms.

     The  parties  hereto  agree  that it  would  not be just and  equitable  if
contribution  pursuant  to  this  Section  5(d)  were  determined  by  pro  rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation  that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required
to contribute  pursuant to this Section 5(d),  in the  aggregate,  any amount in
excess of the amount by which the net proceeds  actually received by such Holder
from the sale of the Registrable  Securities  subject to the Proceeding  exceeds
the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such  untrue or  alleged  untrue  statement  or  omission  or  alleged
omission.

                                       14
<PAGE>
     The indemnity and contribution  agreements contained in this Section are in
addition  to any  liability  that  the  Indemnifying  Parties  may  have  to the
Indemnified Parties.

6. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any
of their  respective  obligations  under  this  Agreement,  each  Holder  or the
Company,  as the case may be, in  addition to being  entitled  to  exercise  all
rights granted by law and under this Agreement,  including  recovery of damages,
shall be entitled to specific  performance  of its rights under this  Agreement.
Each of the Company  and each Holder  agrees  that  monetary  damages  would not
provide  adequate  compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by
it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in
the event of any action for specific  performance in respect of such breach,  it
shall  not  assert  or shall  waive  the  defense  that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

     (b) No Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration
Statements. Except for the Common Stock and Common Stock underlying the warrants
issued  as an Exempt  Issuance  under  clause  (d) of the  definition  of Exempt
Issuance  in the  Purchase  Agreement  and the shares of Common  Stock  issuable
pursuant to the Equity Line Facility  pursuant to the terms set forth therein on
the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than
the Holders in such  capacity  pursuant  hereto) may include  securities  of the
Company in any Registration  Statements  other than the Registrable  Securities.
Other than amendments to the existing  registration  statement on Form S-1, File
No.  333-179745,  the Company shall not file any other  registration  statements
until all  Registrable  Securities  are  registered  pursuant to a  Registration
Statement  that is declared  effective  by the  Commission,  provided  that this
Section  6(b) (i) shall not  prohibit  the  Company  from filing  amendments  to
registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement and (ii) shall
not prohibit the Company from filing a shelf registration  statement on Form S-3
for a primary  offering  by the  Company,  provided  that the  Company  makes no
offering of securities  pursuant to such shelf  registration  statement prior to
the  effective  date  of the  Registration  Statement  required  hereunder  that
includes all of the Registrable Securities.

     (c) Compliance.  Each Holder  covenants and agrees that it will comply with
the prospectus  delivery  requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it
(unless  an  exemption  therefrom  is  available)  in  connection  with sales of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

     (d) Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities,
each  Holder  agrees  that,  upon  receipt of a notice  from the  Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi),
such  Holder  will  forthwith   discontinue   disposition  of  such  Registrable
Securities  under a Registration  Statement  until it is advised in writing (the
"Advice") by the Company that the use of the  applicable  Prospectus  (as it may
have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its best
efforts to ensure that the use of the  Prospectus  may be resumed as promptly as

                                       15
<PAGE>
is  practicable.  The Company  agrees and  acknowledges  that any periods during
which the Holder is required to discontinue  the  disposition of the Registrable
Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).

     (e)  Piggy-Back  Registrations.  If, at any time  during the  Effectiveness
Period,  there is not an effective  Registration  Statement  covering all of the
Registrable  Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with
the  Commission  a  registration  statement  relating to an offering for its own
account or the account of others under the  Securities  Act of any of its equity
securities,  other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as  promulgated  under the
Securities Act) or their then  equivalents  relating to equity  securities to be
issued solely in connection  with any  acquisition  of any entity or business or
equity  securities  issuable in connection  with the  Company's  stock option or
other employee  benefit  plans,  then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a
written notice of such  determination and, if within fifteen days after the date
of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the
Company  shall  include in such  registration  statement all or any part of such
Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however,
that the Company  shall not be required to register any  Registrable  Securities
pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale  pursuant to Rule 144
(without volume restrictions and the current public information requirements are
then met)  promulgated by the Commission  pursuant to the Securities Act or that
are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.

     (f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended,  modified or supplemented,  and
waivers or consents to departures  from the provisions  hereof may not be given,
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of
67% or more of the then  outstanding  Registrable  Securities  (for  purposes of
clarification,  this includes any Registrable  Securities issuable upon exercise
or conversion of any Security).  If a  Registration  Statement does not register
all of the  Registrable  Securities  pursuant to a waiver or  amendment  done in
compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities
to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and
each  Holder  shall  have  the  right  to  designate  which  of its  Registrable
Securities shall be omitted from such  Registration  Statement.  Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,  a waiver or consent to depart from the  provisions  hereof with
respect to a matter that relates  exclusively  to the rights of a Holder or some
Holders  and that does not  directly  or  indirectly  affect the rights of other
Holders  may be given only by such  Holder or Holders of all of the  Registrable
Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided,  however, that the
provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except
in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(f). No
consideration  shall be  offered  or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a
waiver or  modification  of any  provision  of this  Agreement  unless  the same
consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

     (g)  Notices.  Any and all notices or other  communications  or  deliveries
required or permitted to be provided  hereunder  shall be delivered as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement.

                                       16
<PAGE>
     (h)  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement  shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors and permitted  assigns of each of the parties
and shall  inure to the  benefit  of each  Holder.  The  Company  may not assign
(except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of all of the Holders of the then  outstanding  Registrable  Securities.
Each Holder may assign their  respective  rights  hereunder in the manner and to
the Persons as permitted under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

     (i)  No  Inconsistent  Agreements.  Neither  the  Company  nor  any  of its
Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of
its  Subsidiaries,  on or  after  the  date of this  Agreement,  enter  into any
agreement  with  respect  to its  securities,  that  would  have the  effect  of
impairing  the rights  granted to the  Holders in this  Agreement  or  otherwise
conflicts  with the  provisions  hereof.  Except as set forth on Schedule  6(i),
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously  entered into any
agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities
to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.

     (j) Execution and  Counterparts.  This  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 such facsimile or ".pdf"  signature page were an original
thereof.

     (k) Governing  Law. All questions  concerning the  construction,  validity,
enforcement  and  interpretation  of  this  Agreement  shall  be  determined  in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

     (l) Cumulative  Remedies.  The remedies  provided herein are cumulative and
not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

     (m) Severability.  If any term, provision,  covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent  jurisdiction to be invalid,  illegal,
void or  unenforceable,  the remainder of the terms,  provisions,  covenants and
restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected,  impaired or  invalidated,  and the parties hereto shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to
achieve the same or substantially  the same result as that  contemplated by such
term, provision,  covenant or restriction.  It is hereby stipulated and declared
to be the  intention of the parties that they would have  executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that
may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

                                       17

     (n) Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience  only, do
not  constitute  a part of the  Agreement  and  shall  not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof.

     (o) Independent Nature of Holders'  Obligations and Rights. The obligations
of each Holder  hereunder are several and not joint with the  obligations of any
other Holder  hereunder,  and no Holder shall be  responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder.  Nothing contained
herein or in any other  agreement or document  delivered at any closing,  and no
action  taken by any  Holder  pursuant  hereto  or  thereto,  shall be deemed to
constitute the Holders as a partnership,  an association, a joint venture or any
other kind of group or entity,  or create a presumption  that the Holders are in
any way  acting  in  concert  or as a  group  or  entity  with  respect  to such
obligations  or the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement or any other
matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert
or as a group,  and the Company shall not asset any such claim,  with respect to
such obligations or  transactions.  Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and
enforce its rights,  including without limitation the rights arising out of this
Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an
additional  party  in any  proceeding  for  such  purpose.  The use of a  single
agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in
the control of the  Company,  not the action or decision of any Holder,  and was
done solely for the  convenience  of the Company and not because it was required
or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly  understood and agreed that
each provision  contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder,
solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between
and among Holders.

                              Plan of Distribution

     Each Selling Stockholder (the "Selling Stockholders") of the securities and
any of their pledgees,  assignees and  successors-in-interest  may, from time to
time,  sell any or all of their  securities  covered  hereby on the OTC Bulletin
Board or any other  stock  exchange,  market or  trading  facility  on which the
securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated  prices.  A  Selling  Stockholder  may  use  any  one or  more of the
following methods when selling securities:

     *    ordinary   brokerage   transactions  and  transactions  in  which  the
          broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

     *    block  trades  in which the  broker-dealer  will  attempt  to sell the
          securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
          as principal to facilitate the transaction;

     *    purchases  by  a   broker-dealer   as  principal  and  resale  by  the
          broker-dealer for its account;

     *    an  exchange   distribution  in  accordance  with  the  rules  of  the
          applicable exchange;

     *    privately negotiated transactions;

     *    settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the
          registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

     *    in  transactions  through  broker-dealers  that agree with the Selling
          Stockholders  to  sell a  specified  number  of such  securities  at a
          stipulated price per security;

     *    through  the  writing  or  settlement  of  options  or  other  hedging
          transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

     *    a combination of any such methods of sale; or

     *    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

     The Selling  Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available,  rather
than under this prospectus.

     Broker-dealers  engaged by the Selling  Stockholders  may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling  Stockholders  (or, if any  broker-dealer  acts as

                                       21
<PAGE>
agent for the  purchaser of  securities,  from the  purchaser)  in amounts to be
negotiated,  but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the
case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage  commission
in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a
markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

     In connection  with the sale of the  securities or interests  therein,  the
Selling  Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or
other  financial  institutions,  which may in turn  engage in short sales of the
securities  in the course of hedging  the  positions  they  assume.  The Selling
Stockholders  may also sell  securities  short and deliver  these  securities to
close  out  their  short  positions,   or  loan  or  pledge  the  securities  to
broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The Selling Stockholders
may also enter into option or other  transactions  with  broker-dealers or other
financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require
the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial  institution of securities
offered  by this  prospectus,  which  securities  such  broker-dealer  or  other
financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or
amended to reflect such transaction).

     The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters"  within the meaning
of the  Securities  Act in  connection  with  such  sales.  In such  event,  any
commissions  received  by such  broker-dealers  or agents  and any profit on the
resale of the  securities  purchased  by them may be  deemed to be  underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling  Stockholder has
informed  the  Company  that it does not have any written or oral  agreement  or
understanding,  directly  or  indirectly,  with any  person  to  distribute  the
securities.  In no event shall any broker-dealer  receive fees,  commissions and
markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

     The Company is required to pay certain  fees and  expenses  incurred by the
Company incident to the  registration of the securities.  The Company has agreed
to indemnify the Selling  Stockholders against certain losses,  claims,  damages
and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters"  within the
meaning of the Securities  Act, they will be subject to the prospectus  delivery
requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172  thereunder.  In addition,
any  securities  covered by this  prospectus  which qualify for sale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under
this  prospectus.  The  Selling  Stockholders  have  advised us that there is no
underwriter or  coordinating  broker acting in connection with the proposed sale
of the resale securities by the Selling Stockholders.

     We agreed to keep this  prospectus  effective  until the earlier of (i) the
date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling  Stockholders  without
registration and without regard to any volume or  manner-of-sale  limitations by
reason of Rule 144, and the current public  information  requirements under Rule
144 under the  Securities  Act are met or (ii) all of the  securities  have been
sold  pursuant to this  prospectus or Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act or any

                                       22
<PAGE>
other rule of similar  effect.  The resale  securities will be sold only through
registered or licensed  brokers or dealers if required  under  applicable  state
securities laws. In addition,  in certain states,  the resale securities covered
hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in
the applicable  state or an exemption  from the  registration  or  qualification
requirement is available and is complied with.

     Under applicable  rules and regulations  under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the  distribution  of the resale  securities  may not  simultaneously
engage in market  making  activities  with  respect to the common  stock for the
applicable  restricted  period,  as  defined  in  Regulation  M,  prior  to  the
commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be
subject  to  applicable  provisions  of the  Exchange  Act  and  the  rules  and
regulations  thereunder,  including  Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases   and  sales  of  securities  of  the  common  stock  by  the  Selling
Stockholders  or any  other  person.  We will  make  copies  of this  prospectus
available  to the Selling  Stockholders  and have  informed  them of the need to
deliver a copy of this  prospectus to each  purchaser at or prior to the time of
the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of May 1, 2010, by and between ENGlobal Land, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), and David Sinclair a resident of Katy, TX (the “Executive”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENGlobal Corporation; and

WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to accept employment by the Company on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1. Employment Duties and Acceptance.

1.1 Employment by the Company.  The Company agrees to employ the Executive as Vice President Southern Region of the Company for the duration of the Employment Term (as defined in Section 2), to render such services and to perform such duties as are normally associated with and inherent in the executive capacity in which the Executive will be serving, as well as such other duties, which are not inconsistent with the Executive’s position with the Company, as shall from time to time reasonably be assigned to him by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), including, but not limited to, possible assignments to render services and perform duties with ENGlobal Corporation and/or its subsidiaries.

1.2 Acceptance of Employment by the Executive.  The Executive accepts such employment for the Employment Term and agrees to render the services required of him under Section 1.1.  During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote his full business time, attention and energy to the business of the Company and the performance of his duties under this Agreement.  The foregoing shall not, however, prohibit the Executive from making and managing personal investments, or from engaging in civic or charitable activities, that do not materially impair the performance of his duties under this Agreement.  If appointed or elected, as applicable, the Executive also shall serve during all or any part of the Employment Term as any other officer and/or as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, without any additional compensation other than that specified in this Agreement.

1.3 Place of Performance.  The Executive shall be based in the Houston, TX Metropolitan Area, and nothing in this Agreement shall require the Executive to relocate his base of employment or principal place of residence from the Houston, TX Metropolitan Area.

1.4 Termination of Existing Contracts.  The Executive agrees that all agreements and contracts, whether written or oral, relating to the employment of the Executive by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, shall be superseded effective as of the commencement of the Employment Term.  However, nothing in this Section 1.4 shall (i) affect accrued vacation, holiday or sick pay accruals, (ii) require the Company to cease to make available to the Executive, and, subject to his meeting all applicable eligibility requirements, the Executive shall be entitled to continue to be covered under all group health, medical and dental insurance policies, plans and programs maintained by the Company for its executive level employees generally, in each case until replacement coverage is provided by the Company, or (iii) impair or adversely affect any indemnification rights that the Executive may have under statutes empowering corporations in the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ states of incorporation to indemnify their officers and directors, or under the Company’s or any of its affiliates’ bylaws or any written indemnification agreement between the Executive and the Company or any of its affiliates implementing such statutory indemnification rights, but only with respect to third-party claims or proceedings that relate to actions taken by the Executive as an officer or director of the Company or any of its affiliates prior to the date hereof.

The Annual Salary and the Additional Compensation shall be payable in accordance with the applicable payroll and/or other compensation policies and plans of the Company as in effect from time to time during the Employment Term, less such deductions as shall be required to be withheld by applicable law and regulations, or authorized by Executive.

The Executive shall be permitted, during the Employment Term, if and to the extent he is and continues to meet all applicable eligibility requirements, to participate in any group life, hospitalization or disability insurance plan, health program, pension plan, similar benefit plan or other “fringe benefits” of the Company.

This covenant not to compete is ancillary to and part of other agreements between Company and Executive, including, but not limited to: (i) Company's agreement to disclose, and to continue to disclose its confidential information to Executive; and (ii) Company's agreement to employ Executive for the Employment Term.

4.2 Rights and Remedies upon Breach.  If the Executive breaches or threatens to commit a breach of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity.

4.2.1 Specific Performance.  The right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

4.2.2 Accounting.  The right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by the Executive as the result of any transaction constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants.

4.3 Severability of Covenants.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected, and the Restrictive Covenants shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

4.4 Reformation.  If any court determines that any Restrictive Covenant, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable.

4.5 Enforceability.  The Company and the Executive intend to and hereby confer exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the federal and state courts of Harris County, Texas, without reference to principles governing choice or conflicts of law (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.

5. Termination.

5.1 Termination upon Death.  If the Executive dies during the Employment Term, this Agreement shall terminate, except that the Executive’s legal representatives, successors, heirs or assigns shall be entitled to receive the Annual Salary, the Additional Compensation and other accrued benefits, if any, earned up to the date of the Executive’s death and for a period of three months thereafter; provided, however, if any Additional Compensation or other benefits are governed by the provisions of any written employee benefit plan or policy of the Company, any written agreement contemplated thereunder or any other separate written agreement entered into between the Executive and the Company, the terms and conditions of such plan, policy or agreement shall control in the event of any discrepancy or conflict with the provisions of this Agreement regarding such Additional Compensation or other benefit upon the death, termination or disability of the Executive.

5.2 Termination for Cause.  At any time during the Employment Term, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement and discharge the Executive for Cause, exercisable upon the service of written notice upon the Executive.  If such right is exercised, the Company’s obligation to the Executive shall be limited to the payment of any unpaid Annual Salary, Additional Compensation and other benefits, if any, accrued up to the effective date specified in the Company’s notice of termination (which date shall not be retroactive).  The term “Cause” shall mean the determination that (i) after 30 days written notice and a right to cure, Executive has failed to cure a material breach of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) after receipt of a written warning, the Executive has failed or refused to follow the reasonable policies, performance objectives, or directives established by the Board of Directors or executive officers of the Company senior to the Executive, (iii) the Executive has wrongfully misappropriated money or other assets or properties of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, (iv) the Executive has been convicted of any felony or other serious crime, (v) the Executive’s employment performance has been substantially impaired by chronic absenteeism, alcoholism or drug addiction, or (vi) the Executive has exhibited moral turpitude relevant to his office or employment with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

5.3 Termination Without Cause.  At any time during the period beginning on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and continuing through the end of the Employment Term, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement and discharge the Executive without Cause, exercisable upon the service of written notice to the Executive.  If such right is exercised, the Company’s obligation to the Executive shall be as set forth in Section 5.5.

5.4 Termination upon Disability.  If during the Employment Term the Executive becomes physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, as evidenced by the written statement of a competent physician licensed to practice medicine in the United States, so that the Executive is unable to substantially perform his services hereunder with reasonable accommodation either for (i) a period of three consecutive months, or (ii) shorter periods aggregating three months during any period of twelve consecutive months, the Company may at any time after the last day of the three consecutive months of disability, or the day on which the shorter periods of disability equal an aggregate of three months within a period of twelve consecutive months, terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder, exercisable by written notice to the Executive.  If such right is exercised, the Company’s obligation to the Executive shall be as set forth in Section 5.5.

5.5 Severance Benefit.

5.5.1 Initial Severance Benefit.  If at any time during or after the Employment Term, the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated for any reason other than (i) a termination for Cause, (ii) Executive’s voluntary resignation, or (iii) Executive’s death, then for a period of six months following the date of termination of the Executive’s employment (the “Initial Severance Benefit Period”), the Company shall continue to (a) pay to the Executive, in payroll period installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies, the monthly amount of Executive’s base monthly salary in effect at the date of termination of his employment, subject to the limitation of Section 5.5.4, and (b) at the Company’s expense, provide coverage for the Executive and his eligible dependents under the coverage of all group health, medical and dental insurance policies, plans and programs maintained by the Company during the Initial Severance Benefit Period for the Company’s employees, or management employees, generally, as allowed by law.

5.5.2  Second Severance Benefit Period.  The Company, at its option, which shall be exercisable by a written notice sent to the Executive at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Severance Benefit Period, may elect to extend the Initial Severance Benefit Period for a period of an additional six months following the expiration of the Initial Severance Benefit Period (the “Second Severance Benefit Period”).  If the Company so elects to extend the Initial Severance Benefit Period, the Company, during the Second Severance Benefit Period shall (i) pay to the Executive, in payroll period installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies, an amount equal to 50% of the monthly amount of Executive’s base monthly salary in effect at the date of termination of his employment, subject to the limitation in Section 5.5.4, and (ii) at the Company’s expense, provide coverage for the Executive and his eligible dependents under the coverage of all group health, medical and dental insurance policies, plans and programs maintained by the Company during the Second Severance Benefit Period, for the Company’s employees, or management employees, generally, as allowed by law.

5.5.3 Total Severance Benefit Period.  “Total Severance Benefit Period” means the total period (including the Initial Severance Benefit Period and, if applicable, the Second Severance Benefit Period) during which the Company is obligated to pay and provide, and performs its obligations to pay and provide, severance benefits to the Executive under this Section 5.5.

5.5.4 Limitation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total severance benefits described in this Section 5.5 (other than cost sharing arrangements as were in place prior to termination which continue to include the Executive and his eligible dependents under the coverage of all group health, medical and dental insurance policies maintained by the Company during the Total Severance Benefit Period) shall in no event exceed two times the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for the year in which the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated.

6. Insurance.  The Company may, from time to time, apply for and take out, in its own name and at its own expense, naming itself or others as the designated beneficiary (which it may change from time to time), policies for health, accident, disability or other insurance upon the Executive or his life, in any amount or amounts that it may deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interest.  The Executive agrees to aid the Company in procuring such insurance by submitting to reasonable medical examinations and by filling out, executing and delivering such applications and other instruments in writing as may reasonably be required by an insurance company or companies to which any application or applications for insurance may be made by or for the Company.

7. Arbitration.

7.1 Binding Effect.  Except as provided in Section 7.2, any and all controversies, claims or disputes by and between the Executive and the Company relating to the provisions or obligations under this Agreement, or with respect to the employment or termination thereof, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time a demand for arbitration is made.  It is the intention of the Executive and the Company that this Arbitration provision shall be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act, the Texas General Arbitration Act, and at common law.

7.2 Excluded Matters.  This Arbitration provision shall not apply to any claims for workers’ compensation benefits, unemployment compensation benefits, or claims by the Company for injunctive relief available under this Agreement.

8. Other Provisions.

8.1 Section 409A.  The benefits provided under Section 5.5 of this Agreement are intended to qualify as benefits from a “separation pay plan” (as such term is defined in Code Section 409A);  this Agreement is not intended to provide for the deferral of compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if at the time of payment of any benefits hereunder, the Company determines that this Agreement will not so qualify and will otherwise provide for the deferral of compensation, then (i) Sections 5.5.2 and 5.5.4 of this Agreement shall not be effective, and (ii) if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the date of Executive’s termination of employment), all amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided hereunder during the three-month period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is three months following the date of Executive’s termination of employment to the extent such delayed payment is required to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

8.2 Notices.  Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, telegraphed, telexed, sent by facsimile transmission or sent by certified, registered or express mail, postage prepaid. Any such notice shall be deemed given when so delivered personally, telegraphed, telexed or sent by facsimile transmission or, if mailed, five days after the date of deposit in the United States mail, as follows:

8.3 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto; provided, however, that nothing herein shall in any way limit the obligation, rights or liabilities of the parties under any written stock option agreement separately entered into by the parties.

8.4 Waivers and Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.  No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

8.5 Governing Law; Venue.  This Agreement, and all matters related to this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas without reference to principles governing choice or conflicts of law (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.  Venue shall exclusively lie in the state and federal courts of Harris County, Texas.

8.6 Assignment.  This Agreement, and any rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, except that the Company may assign this Agreement to any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or to any successor by merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, without the Executive’s consent provided such assignment does not diminish any of the Executive’s benefits, rights or obligations hereunder.

8.7 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.8 Headings; Construction.  The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  Each party has had the opportunity to review this Agreement with an attorney, and the rule of construction that contracts are to be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this Agreement.
