items  6,  8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 hereof, the respective rights and obligations
of  the  parties  shall  cease  and  be  of  no  further  force  and  effect.

8.     It  is expressly agreed that Consultant has no authority to act for or on
behalf  of  Company  or  to  bind Company to any Contract or Agreement or in any

agent  of  Company.  Consultant  is  an  independent  contractor  with  the
responsibility  for,  and  control over, the details and means of performing the
services.  Nothing  contained  in  this  Agreement  shall  be  construed  as

9.     Consultant  agrees  to  indemnify  and hold harmless Company, its parent,
subsidiaries and affiliates and all their respective directors, officers, agents

expenses,  demands,  claims,  suits,  actions and causes of action on account of
illness,  personal  injury or death to employees or any other persons, damage to
property  of Company or others or other loss or liability arising from any cause
whatsoever  growing  out  of  or  in  connection  with  Consultant's  negligent
performance  of the Work or Consultant's strict liability.  Further, Consultant,
at  its  own  expense,  shall defend any demand, claim, suit, action or cause of
action  brought against the Indemnitee where such demand, claim, suit, action or
cause  of  action arises from any cause for which the Indemnitee may be entitled
to  be  indemnified  and  held harmless pursuant to this section, and Consultant
shall  pay  all  damages,  losses,  costs,  and  expenses  (including reasonable
attorneys' fees), growing out of or in connection with such demand, claim, suit,
action  or  cause  of  action;  provided;  however, that the Indemnitee shall be
entitled  to  participate in such defense at the Indemnitee's own expense, if it
so  desires.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  in  no  event  shall  Consultant  be liable to
indemnify  and hold harmless the Indemnitee from any liability, damages, losses,
costs, expenses, demands, claims, suits, actions or causes of action arising out
of  the  sole  negligence  of  the  Indemnitee.

9.1     Subcontractors'  Indemnity:  Consultant  further agrees that each of its
subcontractors  performing activities in connection with Work shall enter into a
written  Agreement  containing  the indemnification and hold harmless clauses in
item  9,  in  favor  of the Indemnitee, such Agreement to be entered into by the
subcontractor  prior  to  the  performance  of  any  Work  by the subcontractor.

9.2     Special Damages:  Neither Company nor Consultant shall be liable for any
special,  indirect,  incidental or consequential damages, including loss of use,
lost  profit  or  lost production.  ADDITIONALLY, NEITHER CONSULTANT NOR COMPANY
SHALL  BE  LIABLE  TO  THE OTHER OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR DAMAGES OF A PUNITIVE
NATURE.
10.     All  covenants  contained  in this Agreement shall be extended to and be
binding  upon  the successors and assigns of Consultant and Company.  Consultant
shall  not  assign  this Agreement or any moneys to become due hereunder without
prior  written  consent  of  Company;  provided,  however, that no conveyance or
transfer  of  any  interest  of  Consultant  shall be binding upon Company until
Company  has been furnished with written notice and true copy of such conveyance
and  transfer.  Company reserves the right to refuse consent for such assignment
or  transfer  for  any  reason  whatsoever.

11.     During  the  term  of  this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years
thereafter,  Consultant  will  hold  in confidence and not disclose to any third
person  any  confidential  information  which  is  disclosed  to  or acquired by
Consultant  in  performing  services hereunder.  For purposes of this Agreement,
"confidential  information"  may  include information relating to the Project or
any  Sponsor of the Project, or to its respective operation, plans, projections,
or interests, as well as any report, technical or other data, analyses, opinions
or  other  materials  relating  thereto;  provided,  however, that "confidential
information"  shall  not include (i) information which at the time of disclosure
or acquisition is in the public domain, or which after disclosure or acquisition

indirectly,  from  Company,  and (iv) information which is required by law to be
disclosed  (provided,  however,  that prior to such disclosure, Consultant gives
reasonable  notice to Company of the information required to be disclosed).  Any

computer  printouts,  data  or other information relating to or generated by the
work  performed  pursuant  to  this Agreement shall, at all times, belong to the
Company  and  shall be usable at any time by the Company for any purpose without
restriction  as  a  result of this Agreement.  Consultant covenants that it will
not  at  any  time use or permit others to use said documents or information, or
copies  thereof,  relating  to  the  work performed under this Agreement without
first  receiving  the  written  consent  of  the  Company.  The  services  to be
performed  hereunder  by Consultant are of a confidential nature, and Consultant
covenants  that  any  developments  resulting  from Consultant's work under this
Agreement shall be considered the proprietary information of the Company solely.
As  of  the  date  of  termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall remit and
surrender  to  Company  all  correspondence,  drawings,  maps, reports, computer
printout,  data  and  any other information, and all copies thereof, relating to
the  work  which  Consultant  may  have in its possession or within its power to
acquire  possession  of  at  that  time.

12.     Consultant  shall  maintain  all books and records, including supporting
documentation, of all activities, costs and expenditures incurred in such detail
that  all such costs and expenditures may be readily computed and audited.  Such
records  shall  be available to Company's agent or its authorized representative
from time to time and at reasonable times and places throughout the term of this
Agreement  and  for a period of three (3) years after final payment or longer if
required  by law.  Company shall have the right to inspect and audit such books,
records  and  supporting  documents  of  Consultant  and  to make copies of such
records  as  may  be  needed for the performance of an audit, for the purpose of
determining  the  reasonableness  and  accuracy  of  such costs and expenditures
charged  to  the  Company  or  for  the  purpose  of  answering any inquiries or
requirements  made  by  a  regulatory  authority  to  Company.  Consultant shall
require  all subcontractors and suppliers (payees) to comply with the provisions
of  this  item  by  insertion  of the requirements hereof in a written Agreement
between  Consultant  and  Payee.

13.     THIS  AGREEMENT  SHALL  BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS  OF  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS.

14.     Consultant  will  maintain  in  force  during  the entire period of this
Agreement,  insurance  as  specified  in  Exhibit  "C".

15.     Any  failure by Company or Consultant at any time, to enforce or require
the  strict  keeping  and  performance of any of the terms or conditions of this
Agreement  shall  not  constitute a waiver of such terms or conditions and shall
not affect or impair such terms or conditions in any way or the right of Company
or  Consultant  at  any time to avail itself of such remedies as it may have for
any  breach  or  breaches  of  such terms or conditions.  No term, condition, or
provision  of  any  work  order,  invoice,  delivery  ticket,  or other document
submitted by Consultant to Company shall have the effect of modifying or waiving
in any manner the provisions of this Agreement unless any such document shall be
accepted  and  executed  by  an  officer  of  Company.

16.     Consultant  and  Company  agree  that,  in  the  event any provision (or
portion  thereof), of this Agreement is determined to be invalid for any reason,
such  invalidity  shall  not affect the validity of any remaining language which
can  be  given  effect  without  the  invalid  provision.

17.     Amendments:  No  amendment  to  this Agreement shall be valid or binding
unless  set forth in writing and duly executed by the parties hereto.  No waiver
of  any  breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be effective or
binding  unless  made  in writing and signed by the party purporting to give the
same  and,  unless otherwise provided in the written waiver, shall be limited to
the  specific  breach  waived.

18.     As applicable, Consultant shall comply with Exhibit "D," Safety & Health
Handbook.

19.     The Exhibits listed herein, attached hereto or transmitted in connection
herewith  are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement
for  all  intents and purposes.  The following is a list of Exhibits attached to
this  Agreement:
     EXHIBIT  "A"     SCOPE  OF  WORK
     EXHIBIT  "B"     CONSULTANT'S  PROPOSAL
     EXHIBIT  "C"     INSURANCE  REQUIREMENTS
     EXHIBIT  "D"     SAFETY  &  HEALTH  HANDBOOK
     EXHIBIT  "E"     WORK  REQUEST  FORM
20.     The  Consultant shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy and currency
of  information  furnished  to  it  by  the  Company and by any of the Company's
contractors,  vendors,  or  consultants,  and other generally accepted reputable
sources.

21.     Unless  provided  in  this  Agreement,  the  Consultant and Consultant's
subcontractors  shall  have  no  responsibility  for  the  discovery,  presence,
handling,  removal  or disposal of or exposure of persons to hazardous materials
in any form at any project site, including but not limited to asbestos, asbestos
products,  polychlorinated  biphenyl  ("PCB")  or  other  toxic  substances.

22.     Negotiation  of  Dispute and Disagreements:  In the event of any dispute
or  disagreement arising out of or relating to the implementation or performance
of  this  Agreement,  which the parties have been unable to settle or agree upon
within  a  period of thirty (30) days after such dispute or disagreement arises,
each  party  shall  nominate  a  senior  officer of its management to meet in an
attempt  to  resolve  such  dispute  or disagreement.  Should resolution of such
dispute  or disagreement not be obtained within fifteen (15) calendar days after
the  meeting  of  senior officers for such purpose, either party may then submit
the  dispute  to  arbitration  in accordance with the provisions of this section
upon  providing  proper  notice.

22.1.     Arbitration Resolution:  Any claim, dispute or controversy arising out
of  or relating to this Agreement, shall be submitted to binding arbitration and
governed  by  the  American  Arbitration Association for arbitration in Houston,
Harris  County,  Texas.  The  decision  of  the arbitrator(s) shall be final and
binding  upon  the  parties  without  the  right  of appeal to the courts having
jurisdiction  thereof.  The  costs  and  expenses  of the arbitration (including
reasonable  attorney's  fees)  will  be  born  by  the  losing  party unless the
arbitrator(s)  determine  that  it  would  be  manifestly  unfair  to honor this
Agreement  and  determine  a  different  allocation  of  costs.

23.     Neither  party  hereto  shall  be  liable for any failure to perform the
terms  of  this  Agreement  when  such  failure  is  due  to  "force majeure" as
hereinafter  defined.  The  term "force majeure" as used in this Agreement shall
mean  any delay or default in performance due to any cause beyond the control of
the  party  claiming force majeure and without such party's fault or negligence,
including  but  not restricted to acts of God or the public, civil disturbances,
arrests  and  restraints  by  rulers and people; acts of the public enemy, wars,
riots,  insurrections, sabotage; acts, requests or interruptions of the federal,
state  or  local  government  or  any  agency thereof; court orders, present and
future valid orders of any governmental authority, or any officer, agency or any
instrumentality  thereof;  floods,  fires,  storms,  epidemics,  landslides,
lightning,  earthquakes, washouts, explosions, quarantine; strikes, lockouts, or
industrial  disturbances;  interruption  of transportation, freight embargoes or
delays  in  delivery  equipment  or  service necessary to the performance of any
provision  of this Agreement; inability to secure right of way, labor shortages,
breakage  or accident to machinery or lines of pipe, or any other cause, whether
of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise, not reasonably within the control of
the party claiming force majeure.  Nothing contained in this paragraph; however,
shall be construed to require either party to settle a labor dispute against its
will.  If,  as  a  result  of force majeure either party is unable, wholly or in
part,  to  carry  out  its  obligation  under  this  Agreement,  other  than the
obligation  to  make payment of money due; then, upon such party's giving notice
and  a  description  of  such  cause  in  writing  to the other party as soon as
possible  after  the occurrence of the cause, the obligation of the party giving
such  notice,  so  far  as it is affected by the cause specified in such notice,
shall  be  suspended for the duration of the cause.  Such cause shall, as far as
possible,  be  remedied  with  all  reasonable  dispatch.

24.     All  notices  required hereunder, if required to be in writing, shall be
deemed  effective  as of the date posted by an official delivery service such as
certified  or  registered  U.S.  Mail  or  International Courier, when correctly
addressed  as  follows:
