  Exhibit 10.11    
    

 
    SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS    
    

        The Company uses a combination of cash and stock-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on
the Board. In setting director compensation, the Company considers the significant amount of time that Directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company, as well as the skills required by the
Company of the members of the Board. 

 Annual Retainer  

        For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, each Non-employee member of the Board received an annual retainer of
$20,000 payable in cash and $50,000 payable in cash or Common Stock of the Company (subject to rounding up or down such that the number of shares issued to each Director is a whole number, but not to
exceed $50,000 in value), pursuant to the Edge Petroleum Corporation Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "Incentive Plan"). For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the
Non-employee members of the Board received the annual retainer of $20,000 payable in cash but elected to waive the award of the $50,000 portion of the annual retainer that is payable in
cash or Common Stock but which has historically been paid in Company stock. Furthermore, all Directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings
of the Board or Board committees and for other expenses incurred in their capacity as Directors. No stock options were granted to Directors in 2008. 

        In
addition, the chairmen of the Board's standing committees (Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance/Nominating) each spend a significant amount of extra time beyond what is
required for Board committee membership in performing their duties. In acknowledgment of this fact, the chairmen of each standing committee receive the following additional annual retainers, payable
in cash: 

					
	Audit Committee Chairman	 	 $	10,000	 
	Compensation Committee Chairman	 	 $	5,000	 
	Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee Chairman	 	 $	5,000	 

        As
of December 31, 2008, the annual cash retainers which are payable to each Board member and committee chairman, as applicable, will be payable in equal quarterly installments
payable in arrears on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 of each year with a catch up payment of $10,000 for the period from June 1, 2008 to
December 31, 2008. If the Company elects to pay a portion of the annual retainer in common stock of the Company, as described above, the grant date for the stock award will be the first
business day of the month following the annual meeting. 

 Board and Board Committee Meeting Fees  

        Each Non-employee member of the Board receives $1,500 cash for in-person attendance at a meeting of the Board
of Directors ($500 if such attendance is telephonic) and $1,500 cash for each meeting of a standing Committee of the Board of Directors attended ($500 if telephonic). Board and Board committee meeting
fees are paid in cash to the directors at the time of the respective meetings.

                       KEY EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                       ----------------------------------

     THIS KEY EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), effective August
9, 2008, is between ENGlobal Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"),
and Robert W. Raiford, a resident of Houston, Texas (the "Executive"). 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 Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer 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").

          1.2 Extent of Service. The Executive 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/Beaumont 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/Beaumont Metropolitan Area.

     2. Employment Term. The term of the Executive's employment under this
Agreement (the "Employment Term") shall commence on August 9, 2008 (the
"Commencement Date"), and shall expire on December 31, 2010, (the "Expiration
Date"), unless extended by the Company or earlier terminated as herein provided.
At the end of the Employment Term, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed
from year to year thereafter, unless (a) Employee's employment has been
terminated prior to such day, or (b) not later than 60 days prior to such day,
either party to this Agreement shall have given written notice to the other
party that he or it does not wish to extend further the Expiration Date (and the
Employment Term).

     3. Compensation and Other Benefits.

          3.1 Annual Salary. As compensation for services to be rendered under
this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive a salary (the "Annual
Salary"), subject to such increases as the Board of Directors may, in its

<PAGE>

discretion, approve, at a rate of $260,000 per annum. The Executive shall also
be eligible, during the Employment Term, to receive such other compensation,
whether in the form of cash bonuses, incentive compensation, stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards or otherwise (collectively,
the "Additional Compensation"), as the Board of Directors (or any committee of
the Board) may, in its discretion, approve. 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.

          3.2 Participation in Employee Benefit Plans. 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, which may
be available to all other similarly situated members of the Company's executive
management on generally the same terms.

          3.3 Executive Support. The Company shall provide to the Executive
office facilities, furniture, and equipment, secretarial and support personnel
and other management level support services as the Executive shall reasonably
require in connection with his performance of his duties under this agreement.

          3.4 Reimbursement of Business Expenses. The Executive may incur
reasonable, ordinary and necessary business expenses in the course of his
performance of his duties under this Agreement, including expenses for travel,
food and entertainment. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all such
business expenses if (i) the expenses are incurred by the Executive in
accordance with the Company's business expense reimbursement policy, if any, as
may be established and modified by the Company from time to time, and (ii) the
Executive provides to the Company a record of and appropriate receipts for (A)
the amount of the expense, (B) the date, place and nature of the expense, (C)
the business reason for the expense and (D) the names, occupations and other
data concerning individuals entertained sufficient to establish their business
relationship to the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to reimburse
the Executive for expenses that are not incurred and substantiated as required
by this Section 3.4.

or over-the-counter market if the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a
member of a group which controls, such entity and does not, directly or
indirectly, own one percent or more of any class of securities of such entity.
As used in this Section 4, the term "Restricted Period" means the period

               4.1.2 Confidential Information; Personal Relationships. During
the Restricted Period and thereafter, the Executive shall keep secret and retain

Section 4.1.3.

               4.1.4 Employees of the Company. During the Employment Term and
the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, recruit

<PAGE>

               4.1.5 Consultants of the Company. During the Employment Term and

               4.1.6 Acquisition Candidates. During the Employment Term and the
Restricted Period, the Executive shall not call on any Acquisition Candidate (as

               4.1.7 Agreement Ancillary to Other Agreements. 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 Injunctive Relief. 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, are 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
<PAGE>

          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; 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
affirmative vote of no less than three (3) members of the Board of Directors and
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). "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 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 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
affirmative vote of no less than three (3) members of the Board of Directors and
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
<PAGE>

          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 for
(i) a period of six consecutive months, or (ii) for shorter periods aggregating
six months during any period of twelve consecutive months, then the Company may
at any time after the last day of the six consecutive months of disability, or
the day on which the shorter periods of disability equal an aggregate of six
months within a period of twelve consecutive months, terminate the Executive's
employment hereunder, 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.

          5.5 Severance Benefit.

               5.5.1 Initial Severance Benefit Period. 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) his
voluntary resignation (including in breach of this Agreement), or (iii) his
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 Annual Salary in effect at the date of termination of his
employment, subject to the limitation of Section 5.5.4 and (b) under the same
cost sharing arrangements as were in place prior to termination, 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 Initial Severance Benefit Period for the Company's Executive
employees.

               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 Annual Salary in effect at the
date of termination of his employment, subject to the limitation of Section
5.5.4 and (ii) under the same cost sharing arrangements as were in place prior
to termination, continue to include the Executive and his eligible dependants
under the coverage of all group health, medical and dental insurance policies
maintained by the Company during the Second Severance Benefit Period, for the
Company's Executive employees.

               5.5.3 Total Severance Benefit Period. For purposes of Section
4.1.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the term "Total Severance Benefit Period"
means the total period (including the Initial Severance Benefit Period and, if

                                       6

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 the Executive or 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.
Venue for any arbitration will lie exclusively in Harris County, Texas

          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

                                       7
<PAGE>

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
six-month period immediately following Executive's termination of employment
shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six
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, 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 or
sent by facsimile transmission or, if mailed, five days after the date of
deposit in the United States mail, as follows:

     Either party may change its address for notice hereunder by notice to the
other party.

          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

                                       8
<PAGE>

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.
