                    AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (this "Agreement") by
and between Weatherford International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and Bruce F. Longaker, Jr. (the "Executive"), dated January 28,
2000.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has
previously determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders to retain the Executive and to induce the employment of the
Executive for the long-term benefit of the Company;

         WHEREAS, the Board does not contemplate the termination of the
Executive during the term hereof and the Board and the Executive expect that the
Executive will be retained for at least the three-year period contemplated
herein;

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into an Employment
Agreement dated March 1, 1999 (the "Employment Agreement");

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate in
its entirety the Employment Agreement as set out in this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the
Company to enter into this Agreement.

each annual anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Renewal
Date"), unless previously terminated, the Employment Period shall be
automatically extended so as to terminate three year(s) after such Renewal Date,
unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice
to the Executive that the Employment Period shall not be so extended. The
Effective Date shall be April 1, 1999.

          2.   Terms of Employment.

               (a)  Position and Duties.

                    (i) During the Employment Period, (A) the Executive's
     position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements,
     authority, duties and responsibilities) shall be Executive Vice President
     of the Company and President of the Company's Global Compression Services
     Division, (B) the Executive's services shall be performed primarily at the
     Company's offices in Houston, Texas or other locations less than 35 miles
     from such location, provided that the Executive acknowledges and agrees
     that he will be required to travel on a reasonable basis to the offices of
     the Company's Global Compression Services Division in the Dallas, Texas
     area, (C) the Executive shall oversee the Company's Information Technology
     Department and (D) the Executive will report directly to the Company's
     Chief Executive Officer.

                    (ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods
     of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the
     Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal
     business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the
     extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the
     Executive hereunder, to use the Executive's reasonable best efforts to
     perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the
     Employment Period it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the
     Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or
     committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at
     educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long as
     such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the
     Executive's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance
     with this Agreement.

               (b)  Compensation.

                    (i) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive
     shall receive an annual base salary of $300,000.00 ("Annual Base Salary"),
     which shall be paid at a monthly rate. During the Employment Period, the
     Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed no more than 12 months after the last
     salary increase awarded to the Executive prior to the date hereof and
     thereafter at least annually; provided, however, that a salary increase
     shall not necessarily be awarded as a result of such review. Any increase
     in Annual Base Salary may not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation
     to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be
     reduced after any such increase. The term Annual Base Salary as utilized in
     this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased.

                    (ii) Annual Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible for an
     annual bonus (the "Annual Bonus") for each fiscal year ending during the
     Employment Period on the same basis as other executive officers under the
     Company's executive officer annual incentive program. Each such Annual
     Bonus shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

     the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual
     Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of
     such Annual Bonus pursuant to a Company sponsored deferred compensation
     plan in effect.

                    (iii) Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the
     Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all
     incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs
     applicable generally to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and
     its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices,
     policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities
     (measured with respect to both regular and special incentive opportunities,
     to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable), savings
     opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less
     favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by
     the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such
     plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect on the date hereof. As
     used in this Agreement, the term "affiliated companies" shall include any
     company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the
     Company. Effective as of March 1, 1999, the Executive was granted an option
     to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value, at $18.125 per
     share under the terms of the Company's 1998 Employee Stock Option Plan.

                    (iv) Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period,
     the Executive and/or the Executive's family, as the case may be, shall be
     eligible to participate in and shall receive all benefits under welfare
     benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and
     its affiliated companies (including, without limitation, medical,
     prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group
     life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to
     the extent applicable generally to the Executive's peer executives of the
     Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans,
     practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with benefits which
     are less favorable, in the aggregate, than such plans, practices, policies
     and programs in effect for the Executive on the date hereof.

                    (v) Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive
     shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable
     expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the most favorable
     policies, practices and procedures of the Company and its affiliated
     companies in effect for the Executive on the date hereof.

                    (vi) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the
     Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits (including, without
     limitation, financial planning services and payment of related expenses, as
     appropriate) in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices,
     programs and policies of the Company in effect on the date hereof.

                    (vii) Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive
     shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable
     plans, policies, programs and

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

     practices of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the
     Executive on the date hereof.

     3.   Termination of Employment.

          (a) Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall terminate
automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment Period. If the
Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has
occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability
set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with
Section 10(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive's
employment. In such event, the Executive's employment with the Company shall
terminate effective 30 days after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the
"Disability Effective Date"), provided that within the 30-day period after such
receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the
Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the
absence of the Executive from the Executive's duties with the Company on a
full-time basis for 180 calendar days as a result of incapacity due to mental or
physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician
selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the
Executive's legal representative.

          (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment during
the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall
mean:

               (i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform
     substantially the Executive's duties with the Company or one of its
     affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to
     physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial
     performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief
     Executive Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the manner
     in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes that the Executive
     has not substantially performed the Executive's duties, or

               (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or
     gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the
     Company.

         For purposes of this provision, no act, or failure to act, on the part
of the Executive shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to
be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any
act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly
adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or
of a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the
Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the
Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation
of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and
until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution
duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the
entire membership of the Board at a

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice
is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together
with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith
opinion of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in
subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail.

          (c) Good Reason. The Executive's employment may be terminated by the
Executive during the Employment Period for Good Reason. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean:

               (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in
     any respect with the Executive's position (including status, offices,
     titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities
     as contemplated by Section 2(a) of this Agreement, or any other action by
     the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority,
     duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated,
     insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is
     remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by
     the Executive;

               (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the
     provisions of Section 2(b) of this Agreement, other than an isolated,
     insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which
     is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given
     by the Executive;

               (iii) the Company's requiring the Executive to be based at any
     office or location other than as provided in Section 2(a)(i)(B) hereof or
     the Company's requiring the Executive to travel on Company business to a
     substantially greater extent than required for the performance of the
     Executive's position, it being understood that travel will be a necessary
     part of the job;

               (iv) any purported termination by the Company of the Executive's
     employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement;

               (v) in the event of a merger, consolidation or other business
     combination of the Company in which the Company's securities cease to be
     publicly traded, the assignment to the Executive of any position (including
     status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or
     responsibilities that are not (A) at or with the ultimate parent company of
     the entity surviving or resulting from such merger, consolidation or other
     business combination and (B) substantially similar to the Executive's
     position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements),
     authority, duties and responsibilities as contemplated by Section 2(a); or

               (vi) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy
     Section 9(c) of this Agreement.

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
For purposes of this Section 3(c), any good faith determination of
"Good Reason" made by the Executive shall be conclusive.

          (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination during the Employment
Period by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in
accordance with Section 10(b) of the Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent
applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed
to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the
provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below)
is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date
(which date shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The
failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of
Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good
Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company,
respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the
Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder.

          (e)  Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean:

               (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company
     for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the
     Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may
     be;

               (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company
     other than for Cause, death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be
     the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination;
     and

               (iii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of
     death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of
     the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

     4.   Obligations of the Company Upon Termination.

          (a) Good Reason; Other than For Cause, Death or Disability. If, during
the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment
other than for Cause, death or Disability, or the Executive shall terminate
employment for Good Reason:

               (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash
     within 30 days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following
     amounts:

                    (A) the sum of (1) the Executive's Annual Base Salary
          through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid,
          (2) the product of (x) the higher of (I) the highest Annual Bonus
          received by the Executive over the preceding

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

          three year period (provided that for the first three years of this
          Agreement, the Annual Bonus for purposes of this Section shall be not
          less than 50% of the Executive's Annual Base Salary) and (II) the
          Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any bonus or portion thereof
          which has been earned but deferred (and annualized for any fiscal year
          consisting of less than 12 full months or during which the Executive
          was employed for less than 12 full months), for the most recently
          completed fiscal year during the Employment Period, if any (such
          higher amount being referred to as the "Highest Annual Bonus"), and
          (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the
          current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the
          denominator of which is 365, and (3) any compensation previously
          deferred by the Executive under a plan sponsored by the Company
          (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon), and any
          accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid
          (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) shall be
          hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued Obligations"), and

                    (B) an amount equal to three times the sum of (i) the then
          current Annual Base Salary of the Executive and (ii) the Highest
          Annual Bonus, and

                    (C) an amount equal to the total of the employer matching
          contributions credited to the Executive under the Company's 401(k)
          Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan") or any other deferred compensation
          plan during the 12-month period immediately preceding the month of the
          Executive's Date of Termination multiplied by three, such amount to be
          grossed up so that the amount the Executive actually receives after
          payment of any federal or state taxes payable thereon equals the
          amount first described above.

               (ii) For a period of three years from the Executive's Date of
     Termination (the "Remaining Contract Term") or such longer period as may be
     provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy,
     the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's
     family equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance
     with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in Section
     2(b)(iv) of this Agreement if the Executive's employment had not been
     terminated; provided, however, that with respect to any of such plans,
     programs, practices or policies requiring an employee contribution, the
     Executive shall continue to pay the monthly employee contribution for same,
     and provided further, that if the Executive becomes reemployed by another
     employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under
     another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits
     described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan
     during such applicable period of eligibility;

               (iii) The Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide
     the Executive with outplacement services, the scope and provider of which
     shall be selected by the Executive in his sole discretion;

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

               (iv) With respect to all options to purchase Common Stock held by
     the Executive pursuant to a Company stock option plan on or prior to the
     Date of Termination, irrespective of whether such options are then
     exercisable, the Executive shall have the right, during the 60-day period
     after the Date of Termination, to elect to surrender all or part of such
     options in exchange for a cash payment by the Company to the Executive in
     an amount equal the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
     Executive's option multiplied by the difference between (x) and (y) where
     (x) equals the purchase price per share covered by the option and (y)
     equals the highest reported sale price of a share of Common Stock in any
     transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange during the 60-day
     period prior to and including the Executive's Date of Termination. Such
     cash payments shall be made within 30 days after the date of the
     Executive's election; provided, however, that if the Executive's Date of
     Termination is within six months after the date of grant of a particular
     option held by the Executive and the Executive is subject to Section 16(b)
     of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any cash payments
     related thereto shall be made on the date which is six months and one day
     after the date of grant of such option to the extent necessary to prevent
     the imposition of the disgorgement provisions under Section 16(b).
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any right granted pursuant to the
     foregoing would make any change of control transaction ineligible for
     pooling of interests accounting treatment under APB No. 16 that but for
     this Section 4(a)(iv) would otherwise be eligible for such accounting
     treatment, the Executive shall receive in substitution for the cash payment
     a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the amount of
     cash that would otherwise be payable to the Executive hereunder by the
     average closing sales price of the Common Stock, as reported by the New
     York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days immediately prior to the date
     such payment is due to be made (rounding up to the nearest whole number),
     provided that any such shares of Common Stock so granted to the Executive
     shall be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; any
     options outstanding as of the Date of Termination and not then exercisable
     shall become fully exercisable as of the Executive's Date of Termination,
     and to the extent the Executive does not elect to surrender same for a cash
     payment (or the equivalent number of shares of Common Stock) as provided
     above, such options shall remain exercisable for one year after the
     Executive's Date of Termination or until the stated expiration of the
     stated term thereof, whichever is longer;

               (v) restrictions applicable to any shares of Common Stock granted
     to the Executive by the Company shall lapse, as of the date of the
     Executive's Date of Termination;

               (vi) All country club memberships, luncheon clubs and other
     memberships which the Company was providing for the Executive's use at the
     time Notice of Termination is given shall, to the extent possible, be
     transferred and assigned to the Executive at no cost to the Executive
     (other than income taxes owed), the cost of transfer, if any, to be borne
     by the Company;

               (vii) The Company shall either transfer to the Executive
     ownership and title to the Executive's company car at no cost to the
     Executive (other than income taxes owed)

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

     or, if the Executive receives a monthly car allowance in lieu of a Company
     car, pay the Executive a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the
     Executive's Date of Termination equal to the Executive's annual car
     allowance multiplied by three;

               (viii) All benefits under the Company's Executive Deferred
     Compensation Plan and the 401(k) Plan and any other similar plans,
     including any stock options held by the Executive, not already vested shall
     be 100% vested, to the extent such vesting is permitted under the Code (as
     defined below);

               (ix) To the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company
     shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits
     required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to
     receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or
     agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts
     and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Other Benefits"); and

               (x) The foregoing payments are intended to compensate the
     Executive for a breach of the Company's obligations and place Executive in
     substantially the same position had the employment of the Executive not
     been so terminated as a result of a breach by the Company.

          (b) Death. If Executive's employment is terminated by reason of the
Executive's death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate
without further obligations to the Executive's legal representatives under this
Agreement, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment
or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the
Executive's estate or beneficiaries, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within
30 days after the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other
Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 4(b) shall
include, without limitation, and the Executive's estate and/or beneficiaries
shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable
benefits provided by the Company and affiliated companies to the estates and
beneficiaries of the Executive's peer executives of the Company and such
affiliated companies under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating
to death benefits, if any, in effect on the date hereof or, if more favorable,
those in effect on the date of the Executive's death.

          (c) Disability. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason
of the Executive's Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment
of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits.
Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within
30 days after the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other
Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 4(c) shall
include, without limitation, and the Executive shall be entitled after the
Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least
equal to the most favorable benefits generally provided by the Company and its
affiliated companies to the Executive's disabled peer executives and/or their
families in accordance

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if
any, in effect generally on the date hereof or, if more favorable, those in
effect at the time of the Disability.

          (d) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive's employment
is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than the
obligation to pay to the Executive (x) his Annual Base Salary through the Date
of Termination, (y) the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the
Executive, and (z) Other Benefits, in each case to the extent theretofore
unpaid. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment
Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate
without further obligations to the Executive, other than for Accrued Obligations
and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. In such case, all Accrued
Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days
after the Date of Termination subject to such other options or restrictions as
provided by law.

     5.  Other Rights. Except as provided hereinafter, nothing in this Agreement
shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any
plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its
affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, shall
anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have
under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated
companies. Except as provided hereinafter, amounts which are vested benefits or
which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy,
practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of
its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be
payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or
agreement. It is expressly agreed by the Executive that he shall have no right
to receive, and hereby waives any entitlement to, any severance pay or similar
benefit under any other plan, policy, practice or program of the Company. In
addition, if the Executive has an employment or similar agreement with the
Company at the Date of Termination, he agrees that he shall have the right to
receive all of the benefits provided under this Agreement or such other
agreement, whichever one, in its entirety, the Executive chooses, but not both
agreements, and when the Executive has made such election, the other agreement
shall be superseded in its entirety and shall be of no further force and effect.
The Executive also agrees that to the extent he may be eligible for any
severance pay or similar benefit under any laws providing for severance or
termination benefits, such other severance pay or similar benefit shall be
coordinated with the benefits owed hereunder, such that the Executive shall not
receive duplicate benefits.

     6.   Full Settlement.

          (a) No Rights of Offset. The Company's obligation to make the payments
provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations
hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the
Executive or others.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

          (b) No Mitigation Required. In no event shall the Executive be
obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation
of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this
Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive
obtains other employment.

          (c) Legal Fees. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full
extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expense which the Executive may
reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof)
by the Company or the Executive of the validity or enforceability of, or
liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance
thereto (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount
of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any
delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

     7.   Certain Additional Payments by the Company.

          (a) Although this Agreement is not being entered into in connection
with or contingent upon a change of control of the Company, anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the
event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to
or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but
determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section
7) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect
to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then
the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up
Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes
(including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties
imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment,
the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax
imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7(a), if it shall be determined that the Executive is entitled to a
Gross-Up Payment, but that the Executive, after taking into account the Payments
and the Gross-Up Payment, would not receive a net after-tax benefit of at least
$50,000 (taking into account both income taxes and any Excise Tax) as compared
to the net after-tax proceeds to the Executive resulting from an elimination of
the Gross-Up Payment and a reduction of the Payments, in the aggregate, to an
amount (the "Reduced Amount") such that the receipt of Payments would not give
rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Executive
and the Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7(c), all determinations
required to be made under this Section 7, including whether and when a Gross-Up
Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions
to be utilized in arriving at such determination shall be made by Arthur
Andersen LLP or, as provided below, such other certified

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

public accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive (the "Accounting
Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company
and the Executive within 15 business days after the receipt of notice from the
Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by
the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or
auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change of control, the
Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make
the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be
referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as
determined pursuant to this Section 7, shall be paid by the Company to the
Executive within five days after the receipt of the Accounting Firm's
determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon
the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application
of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not
have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent
with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the
Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7(c) and the Executive
thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm
shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the
Executive.

          (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by
the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by
the Company of the Gross-Up Payment (or an additional Gross-Up Payment) in the
event the Internal Revenue Service seeks higher payment. Such notification shall
be given as soon as practicable, but no later than ten business days after the
Executive is informed in writing of such claim, and shall apprise the Company of
the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the
30-day period following the date on which he gives such notice to the Company
(or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with
respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing
prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim,
the Executive shall:

               (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the
     Company relating to such claim,

               (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
     the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
     including without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect
     to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

               (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order
     effectively to contest such claim, and

               (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
     relating to such claims; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and
     pay directly all costs and

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

     expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
     connection with such costs and shall indemnify and hold the Executive
     harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax
     (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result
     of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without
     limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(c), the Company
     shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at
     its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
     proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect
     of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to
     pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any
     permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to
     determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
     jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall
     determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to
     pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount
     of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall
     indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any
     Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect
     thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any
     imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any
     extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for
     the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested
     amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.
     Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to
     issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder
     and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may
     be, any other issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other
     taxing authority.

         (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the
Company pursuant to Section 7(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any
refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company's
complying with the requirements of Section 7(c)) promptly pay to the Company the
amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after
taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount
advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 7(c), a determination is made that
the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and
the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest
such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to
be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof,
the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

     8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information,
knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies,
and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive
during the Executive's employment by the Company or any of its affiliated
companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall
become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives
of the Executive in violation of this Agreement), information that is developed
by the Executive independently of such information,

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a
third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After
termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be
required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it.
In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 8
constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to
the Executive under this Agreement.

     9.   Successors.

          (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be
assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the Executive's legal representatives.

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the Company and its successors and assigns.

          (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as
aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
law, or otherwise.

     10.  Miscellaneous.

          (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT
OF LAWS. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof
and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified
otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their
respective successors and legal representatives.

          (b) All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing

Agreement such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be
withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any
right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including without
limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason
pursuant to Section 3(c)(i)-(vi) of this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this
Agreement.

          (f) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof,
including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement.

                         DEFERRALS AND BENEFIT ACCRUALS

                  3.1 BASIC BENEFIT ACCRUAL. Subject to Section 3.4, the Company
shall accrue an amount for the benefit of each Participant equal to 7 1/2
percent of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year.

                  3.2 DEFERRAL ELECTION. A Participant may elect, within 30 days
of notification that he is eligible to participate in the Plan, and not less
than six months prior to the effective date of the first deferral, and
thereafter not later than June 30 preceding the next Plan Year, the percentage,
if any, of his Compensation that is to be deferred under the Plan. A Participant
may defer a minimum of one percent but not more than 7 1/2 percent of his
Compensation for the Plan Year. A Participant may only defer Compensation that
has not yet been paid to him. Prior to the election period the Committee shall
notify all eligible Participants of their right to make a deferral election.
Once an election has been made as to the percentage to be deferred, it becomes
irrevocable for the Plan Year. The election to defer a percentage of
Compensation shall be effective only upon the timely receipt by the Committee of
the Participant's percentage deferral election on such form as will be
determined by the Committee from time to time. Except with respect to the
election by a newly eligible Participant as described above, if the Committee
fails to receive a properly filed election form on or prior to June 30 of the
year immediately preceding the Plan Year to which the election applies, revoking
or modifying a prior election, the prior election shall remain in effect. If a
timely election form is not received, the Participant shall be deemed to have
elected not to defer any part of his Compensation for that Plan Year. An
election to defer for one Plan Year shall remain effective for subsequent Plan
Years until modified or revoked in accordance with this Section 3.2.

under the Plan with an amount equal to 100 percent of the amount that is
deferred by him.

                 3.4 REDUCTION OF ACCRUALS. The Committee may reduce the
percentage of the Basic Benefit accrual and/or the Company Match accrual upon
written notice to a Participant. Such reduction shall apply only as to Plan
Years following such notice, or in the case of a new Participant, beginning on
the date that the Participant first receives credit under Section 3.1, 3.2 or
3.3.

                                     ACCOUNT

                  4.1 ESTABLISHING A PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT. The Committee shall
establish an Account for each Participant in a special Deferred Compensation
Ledger which shall be maintained by the Company. The Account shall reflect the
amount of the Company's obligation to the Participant at any given time.

                  4.2 BASIC BENEFIT ACCOUNT. The Basic Benefit shall be credited
to each Participant's Basic Benefit Account as of the last day of each month of
each Plan Year for the accrual attributable to Compensation paid during that
month.

                  4.3 DEFERRAL ACCOUNT. The amount deferred by a Participant, if
any, shall be credited to each Participant's Deferral Account as of the last day
of each month in which the Participant would have received the amount deferred
but for his election to defer.

                  4.4 COMPANY MATCH ACCOUNT. The Company Match shall be credited
to each Participant's Company Match Account coincident with the allocation of
the Participant's Deferral to the Participant's Deferral Account.

                  4.5 GAUGE FOR DETERMINING BENEFITS. Except as specified in
Section 4.6, the Basic Benefit, Deferral and Company Match described in Sections
4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, shall be deemed to be credited in non-monetary units equal to
the number of whole shares of Common Stock which could have been purchased at a
price equal to the average closing sale price of a share of Common Stock during
the calendar month for which the credit is made as reported by the principal
national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed if the
Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or the average of the
bid and asked price of a share of Common Stock

                                      IV-1
<PAGE>   14

during such month as reported in the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation National Market System (or successor system) listing if the
Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange, provided that
if no such closing price or quotes are so reported during that month or if, in
the discretion of the Committee, another means of determining the fair market
value of the Common Stock for such month shall be necessary and advisable, the
Committee may provide for another means of determining such value, and in
monetary units for any amount which is less than the value of a whole share. Any
monetary unit credited to an Account will be added to the next such amount
credited to the Account and converted into a non-monetary unit as quickly as
possible. The value of each unit credited to an Account and therefore the
ultimate value of the deferred compensation payable to each Participant will
increase or decrease in proportion to the change in the value of a share of
Common Stock between the date of the initial crediting of a unit and the date
that the unit is valued for distribution under Article VI of the Plan.

                  4.6 ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE GRANT SPIN-OFF. Following the Grant
Spin-Off, the Committee shall credit to a Participant's Account one non-monetary
unit equal to one share of Grant Stock for every one non-monetary unit equal to
one share of Common Stock that is deemed to be credited to his Account as of the
date of the Grant Spin-Off or subsequently credited to his Account for
Compensation earned through the date of the Grant Spin-Off.

nonforfeitable interest in his Deferrals under the Plan at all times. A
Participant will also have a 100 percent nonforfeitable interest in any increase
in the Deferral as a result of the rise in the value of the non-monetary units
after his Deferral has been initially credited.

                  5.2 BASIC BENEFIT AND COMPANY MATCH. Upon his Retirement,
death or Disability while employed with the Company, a Participant will have a
100 percent nonforfeitable interest in the Basic Benefit and Company Match
credited to his Account together with any increase in the accruals as a result
of the rise in the value of the non-monetary units after they have been
initially credited, except for the events of forfeiture described in Section
6.5. In addition, a Participant's interest in the Basic Benefit and Company
Match credited to his Account together with any increase in the accruals as a
result of the rise in the value of the non-monetary units after they have been
initially credited shall vest at the rate set out in the vesting schedule below,
except for events of forfeiture described in Section 6.5 and upon termination of
the Plan as provided in Section 9.3.

                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

                 6.1 DEATH. Upon the death of a Participant, the Participant's
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall receive the value of the amounts credited to
the Participant's Accounts in the Deferred Compensation Ledger determined under
Section 6.7, and the distribution shall be made in shares of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that shares of Grant Stock are
deemed credited to the Participant's Account, the Committee may cause shares of
Grant Stock to be distributed to his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. The
distribution shall be made within 30 days after the Participant's death.

                  Each Participant, upon notification of his participation in
the Plan, shall file with the Committee a designation of one or more
Beneficiaries to whom distributions otherwise due the Participant shall be made
in the event of his death prior to the distribution of the amount credited to
his Accounts in the Deferred Compensation Ledger. The designation will be
effective upon receipt by the Committee of a properly executed form which the
Committee has approved for that purpose. The Participant may from time to time
revoke or change any designation of Beneficiary by filing another approved
Beneficiary designation form with the Committee. If there is no valid
designation of Beneficiary on file with the Committee at the time of the
Participant's death, or if all of the Beneficiaries designated in the last
Beneficiary designation have predeceased the Participant or otherwise ceased to
exist, the Beneficiary will be the Participant's spouse, if the spouse survives
the Participant, or otherwise the Participant's estate. Any Beneficiary
designation which designates any person or entity other than the Participant's
spouse must be consented to in writing by the spouse in a form acceptable to the
Committee in order to be effective.

Participant shall receive the value of the amounts credited to the Participant's
Accounts in the Deferred Compensation Ledger determined under Section 6.7, and
the distribution shall be made in shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the

distributed to him. The distribution shall be made within 30 days after the
Participant becomes disabled.

                  6.3 RETIREMENT. Upon the Retirement of a Participant on or

credited to his Accounts in the Deferred Compensation Ledger determined under

days after the Participant's Retirement.

                  6.4 TERMINATION PRIOR TO DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. Upon

Disability or Retirement, he shall receive the portion of the amount credited to

employ of the Company until he terminates from the employ of Grant Prideco, Inc.
and its subsidiaries.

                  6.5 FORFEITURE FOR CAUSE. If the Committee finds, after full
consideration of the facts presented on behalf of both the Company and a former
Participant, that the Participant was discharged by the Company for fraud,
embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony, proven dishonesty in the course of
his employment by the Company which damaged the Company, or for disclosing trade
secrets of the Company, the entire amount credited to his Basic Benefit Account
and Company Match Account in the Deferred Compensation Ledger shall be forfeited
even though it may have been previously vested under Section 5.2. The decision
of the Committee as to the cause of a former Participant's discharge and the
damage done to the Company shall be final. No decision of the Committee shall
affect the finality of the discharge of the Participant by the Company in any
manner.

                  6.6 RESPONSIBILITY FOR DISTRIBUTIONS AND WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.
The Committee shall furnish information to the Company last employing the
Participant concerning the amount and form of distribution to any Participant
entitled to a distribution so that the Company may make or cause the rabbi trust
to make the distribution required. It will also calculate the deductions from
the amount of the benefit paid under the Plan for any taxes required to be
withheld by federal, state or local government and will cause them to be
withheld and paid to the appropriate authority. If a Participant has deferred
compensation under the Plan while in the service of more than one Company, each
Company for which the Participant worked shall pay the amount attributable to
the period the Participant was in the service of that Company, except to the
extent the Company paid an amount to the Trust which was paid the Participant.

                  6.7 DISTRIBUTION DETERMINATION DATE. For purposes of all
distributions described in this Article VI, the determination date for valuing
the amounts credited to a Participant's Accounts shall be the day which triggers
the beginning of the 90-day period described in Section 6.1, 6.2, 6.3

                                      VI-3
<PAGE>   19

or 6.4, as applicable. For purposes of all distributions in Common Stock and
Grant Stock described in this Article VI, the determination date shall be the
date of the actual distribution of the Common Stock or Grant Stock to the
Participant or his Beneficiary, and the number of shares issued shall be equal
to the vested non-monetary units allocated to the Participant's Accounts.

member of the Committee. The secretary shall keep all records, documents and
data pertaining to the Committee's supervision and administration of the Plan. A
majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business and the vote of a majority of the members present at any
meeting shall decide any question brought before the meeting. In addition, the

         the Plan;

<PAGE>   21

                  (b) to construe all terms, provisions, conditions and
         limitations of the Plan;

                  (c) to correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile
         any inconsistency that may appear in the Plan in the manner and to the
         extent it deems expedient to carry the Plan into effect;

                  (d) to designate the persons eligible to become Participants;

                  (e) to determine all controversies relating to the
         administration of the Plan, including but not limited to:

                           (1) differences of opinion arising between the
                  Company and a Participant; and

                           (2) any question it deems advisable to determine in
                  order to promote the uniform administration of the Plan for
                  the benefit of all parties at interest; and

                  (f) to delegate by written notice those clerical and
         recordation duties of the Committee, as it deems necessary or advisable
         for the proper and efficient administration of the Plan.

                  7.4 COMMITTEE DISCRETION. The Committee in exercising any
power or authority granted under the Plan or in making any determination under
the Plan shall perform or refrain from performing those acts using its sole
discretion and judgment. Any decision made by the Committee or any refraining to
act or any act taken by the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding
on all parties and shall not be subject to de novo review.

                  7.5 ANNUAL STATEMENTS. The Committee shall cause each
Participant to receive an annual statement as soon as administratively feasible
after the conclusion of each Plan Year containing a statement of the
Participant's Accounts in the Deferred Compensation Ledger through the end of
that Plan Year. The statement shall include a report of the Basic Benefit, the
Participant Deferral and Company Match, if any, and the number of units
allocated to the Accounts for that Plan Year.

                            ADOPTION BY SUBSIDIARIES

                 8.1 PROCEDURE FOR AND STATUS AFTER ADOPTION. Any Subsidiary
may, with the approval of the Committee, adopt the Plan by appropriate action of
its board of directors. The terms of the Plan will apply separately to each
Subsidiary adopting the Plan and its Participants in the same manner as is
expressly provided for the Sponsor and its Participants except that the powers
of the Board of Directors and the Committee under the Plan shall be exercised by
the Board of Directors alone. The Sponsor and each Subsidiary adopting the Plan
shall bear the cost of providing plan benefits for its own Participants. It is
intended that the obligation of the Sponsor and each Subsidiary with respect to
its Participants shall be the sole obligation of the Company that is employing
the Participant and shall not bind any other Company.

                 8.2 TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION BY ADOPTING SUBSIDIARY. Any
Subsidiary that adopts the Plan may, by appropriate action of its board of
directors, terminate its participation in the Plan. The Committee may, in its
discretion, also terminate a Subsidiary's participation in the Plan at any time.
The termination of the participation in the Plan by a Subsidiary shall not,
however, affect the rights of any Participant who is working or has worked for
the Subsidiary as to amounts and/or units previously standing to his credit in
his Accounts in the Deferred Compensation Ledger.

                          AMENDMENT AND/OR TERMINATION

                 9.1 AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. The Board of
Directors may amend or terminate the Plan at any time by an instrument in
writing without the consent of any adopting Company or any Participant; provided
however, the amount of the Basic Benefit Accrual specified in Section 3.1 may
not be amended more than once every six months other than to comport with
changes to the Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules
thereunder.

                 9.2 NO RETROACTIVE EFFECT ON AWARDED BENEFITS. No amendment
shall affect the rights of any Participant to the amounts and/or units then
standing to his credit in his Accounts in the Deferred Compensation Ledger.
However, the Board of Directors shall retain the right at any time to change in
any manner the method of calculating all Basic Benefits to be accrued in the
future, all amounts deferred by a Participant and all amounts matched by the
Company and the gauge to be used to determine future increases or decreases in
amounts accrued or deferred after the date of the amendment, if it has been
announced to the Participants.

                 9.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. If the Plan is terminated, all
amounts of Basic Benefits accrued by the Company, deferred by Participants and
matched by the Company and credited to a Participant's Accounts shall
immediately vest as if the Participant were entitled to and did retire on the
date the Plan terminated. Distribution would then commence in accordance with
Section 6.3. However, the forfeiture provisions of Section 6.5 would continue to
apply until the actual date of distribution.

                                     PAYMENT

                  10.1 PAYMENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE THE OBLIGATION OF THE
COMPANY. The Company shall be liable for all benefits due the Participants under
the Plan.

                  10.2 PAYMENTS MAY BE MADE TO A RABBI TRUST. It is specifically
recognized by both the Company and the Participants that under all
circumstances, the rights of the Participants to the assets held in the trust,
if any, shall be no greater than the rights expressed in this agreement. Nothing
contained in the trust agreement which creates the trust shall constitute a
guarantee by any Company that the amounts transferred by it to the trust shall
be sufficient to pay any benefits under the Plan or would place the Participant
in a secured position ahead of judgment and/or general creditors should the
Company become insolvent or bankrupt. Any trust agreement prepared under the
Plan must specifically set out these principles so it is clear in that trust
agreement that the Participants in the Plan are only unsecured general creditors
of the Company in relation to their benefits under the Plan.

                  10.3 PARTICIPANTS MUST RELY ONLY ON THE GENERAL CREDIT OF THE
COMPANY. It is also specifically recognized by both the Company and the
Participants that the Plan is only a general corporate commitment and that each
Participant must rely upon the general credit of the Company for the fulfillment
of its obligations under the Plan. Under all circumstances the rights of
Participants to any asset held by the Company shall be no greater than the
rights expressed in this agreement. Nothing contained in this agreement shall
constitute a guarantee by the Company that the assets of the Company will be
sufficient to pay any benefits under the Plan or would place the Participant in
a secured position ahead of general creditors and judgment creditors of the
Company.

                                       X-1
<PAGE>   26

Although the Company has established or become a signatory to a rabbi trust to
accumulate assets to fulfill its obligations under the Plan, the maintenance of
the Plan and the rabbi trust shall not create any lien, claim, encumbrance,
right, title or other interest of any kind in any Participant in any asset held
by the Company, contributed to any trust created, or otherwise be designated to
be used for payment of any of its obligations created in this agreement. No
specific assets of the Company have been or will be set aside, or will be
transferred to the trust or will be pledged for the performance of the Company's
obligations under the Plan which would remove those assets from being subject to
the general creditors and judgment creditors of the Company.

                  10.4 PLAN UNFUNDED. It is intended that the Plan shall be
unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                11.1 LIMITATION OF RIGHTS. Nothing in the Plan will be
construed:

                  (a) to give any employee of any Company any right to be
         designated a Participant in the Plan;

                  (b) to give a Participant any right with respect to the Basic
         Benefit accrued, the Deferral, or the Company Match accrued except in
         accordance with the terms of the Plan;

                  (c) to limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate
         a Participant's employment with the Company at any time;

                  (d) to evidence any agreement or understanding, expressed or
         implied, that the Company will employ a Participant in any particular
         position or for any particular remuneration; or

                  (e) to give a Participant or any other person claiming through
         him any interest or right under the Plan other than that of any
         unsecured general creditor of the Company.

                11.2 DISTRIBUTION TO MINOR OR INCAPACITATED PERSON. If the
Committee determines that any person to whom a payment is due is a minor or
unable to care for his affairs because of physical or mental disability, it
shall have the authority to cause his payments under the Plan to be made to his
parent, legal guardian, spouse, brother, sister or other person whom the
Committee determines. The Committee shall not be responsible to oversee the
application of those payments. Payments made pursuant to this power shall be a
complete discharge of all liability under the Plan and the obligations of the
Company and the Committee.

                11.3 NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS. No right or benefit provided in
the Plan shall be transferable by the Participant except, upon his death, to a
named Beneficiary as provided in the Plan. No right or benefit under the Plan
shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment,

                                      XI-1
<PAGE>   28

pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit
under the Plan shall in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts,
contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefits. If any
Participant or any Beneficiary becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate,
alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit under
the Plan, that right or benefit shall, in the discretion of the Committee,
cease. In that event, the Committee may have the Company hold or apply the right
or benefit or any part of it to the benefit of the Participant or Beneficiary,
his or her spouse, children or other dependents or any of them in any manner and
in any proportion the Committee believes to be proper in its sole and absolute
discretion, but is not required to do so.

                11.4 RELIANCE UPON INFORMATION. The Committee shall not be
liable for any decision or action taken in good faith in connection with the
administration of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
any decision or action taken by the Committee when it relies upon information
supplied it by any officer of the Company, the Company's legal counsel, the
Company's independent accountants or other advisors in connection with the
administration of this Plan shall be deemed to have been taken in good faith.

                11.5 SEVERABILITY. If any term, provision, covenant or condition
of the Plan is held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, the rest of
the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated.

                11.6 NOTICE. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be
given to the Committee or a Participant shall be sufficient if in writing and
hand delivered or sent by U.S. mail to the principal office of the Company or to
the residential mailing address of the Participant. Notice shall be deemed to be
given as of the date of hand delivery or if delivery is by mail, as of the date
shown on the postmark.

                11.7 GENDER AND NUMBER. If the context requires it, words of one
gender when used in the Plan will include the other genders, and words used in
the singular or plural will include the other.

                11.8 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan will be construed, administered and
governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company caused this Agreement to be
executed effective as of September 28, 1999.

                             ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST

                  2.1 PURPOSE. The Trust was previously established by the
Sponsor and the Trustee, and adopted by each Employer, for the sole purpose of
creating a trust to provide for the payment of deferred compensation to the
Participants. The maintenance of the Trust shall never be construed to raise the
Employer's obligation to the Participants above that of a general corporate
obligation under which the Participant must rely upon the general credit of the
Employer for benefits accrued under the Plan. Participants and their
beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership
interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plan and the
Trust shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Participants and their
beneficiaries against an Employer. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject
to the claims of the Employer's judgment creditors and/or general creditors
under federal and state law in the event of insolvency, as defined in Section
5.3 herein. The Trust is intended to be a multiple grantor trust of which the
Employers are grantors within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J,
Chapter 1, subtitle A of the Code, and shall be construed accordingly.

                  2.2 IRREVOCABLE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS. Subject only to
the exceptions in this Section, all contributions to, all assets held in, and
all earnings of the Trust are solely and irrevocably dedicated, to the payment
of (a) the deferred compensation described in the Plan for the benefit of the
Participants and (b) the reasonable expenses of administering the Trust until
the liabilities under the Plan have been satisfied in full, at which time the
Trust shall terminate as provided in Section 11.3. However, the Equitable Share
of the Trust for an individual Employer shall be subject to judgment creditors
and/or general creditors of that Employer if that Employer

                                      II-1
<PAGE>   39

becomes insolvent (as defined in Section 5.3). To that end if the Trustee
receives notice from any Employer pursuant to Section 5.3, the Trustee shall
suspend payment of all benefits to Participants who earned benefits through
employment with that Employer and shall hold that Employer's Equitable Share of
the Trust for the benefit of that Employer's judgment creditors and/or general
creditors as the case may be. Further, if the Trustee receives written
allegations of an Employer's insolvency from any other source, the Trustee shall
suspend the payment of all benefits under the Plan to Participants who earned
benefits through employment with that Employer and shall hold all of that
Employer's Equitable Share of the Trust for the benefit of that Employer's
general creditors, and must determine within 30 days whether that Employer is
solvent. However, the Trustee shall resume payments, including any benefits
suspended, if it determines that Employer is solvent. In the case of the
Trustee's actual knowledge of a levy on the Equitable Share of any Employer in
the Trust by a judgment creditor or the Trustee's actual knowledge of or
determination of any Employer's insolvency, the Trustee shall deliver the
Equitable Share of that Employer in the Trust as directed by a court of
competent jurisdiction.

                      CONTRIBUTIONS AND PLAN ADMINISTRATION

                  3.1 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Any Employer may contribute to the
Trust on its own behalf, in cash, amounts to assist the Employer in meeting its
obligations under the Plan for the Participants employed by the Employer at the
time and in the manner determined by it.

                  3.2 ESTABLISHING CONTRIBUTION ACCOUNTS FOR PARTICIPANTS. The
Employer shall, at the time of its contribution, notify the Committee as to the
Participant for whom the contribution is made so that the Committee may maintain
separate records for the accounts of the Participants.

                  3.3 VALUATION OF TRUST; ALLOCATION OF GAINS AND LOSSES TO
PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS. The Trustee shall provide to the Committee, at intervals
agreed upon by them, but no less often than once each Plan Year, a statement of
the number of shares of Company Stock and the value of the Trust assets held in
the Trust as a whole and the Trust income and losses, if any.

amounts may be held uninvested in cash or invested in short term investments
such as certificates of deposit with the Trustee, U. S. Treasury bills, savings
accounts with the Trustee, commercial paper or other similar assets which may be
offered by the Trustee until the Trustee determines in its sole discretion to
purchase Company Stock in a prudent and orderly manner. All dividends on Company
Stock and all other income earned on Trust assets will be held by the Trustee
and used to purchase Common Stock for the accounts from which it is generated.

                  4.3 POWERS OF TRUSTEE RELATING TO MANAGEMENT OF TRUST ASSETS.
Subject to the requirements of Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the following powers,

purposes. Any action of the Trustee under the Trust created by this agreement
shall be conclusive evidence of the facts recited in it. All persons shall be
fully protected when acting or relying upon any notice, resolution, instruction,

notice, resolution, instruction, direction, order, certificate, opinion, letter,
telegram or other document believed by the Trustee to be genuine, to have been
signed by a proper representative of the Committee or other party permitted to
issue a direction to it. In this connection, each Employer and the Committee

or the inability of the Employer to pay its debts as they mature.

DIRECTION OF COMMITTEE. The Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission
by it because of a direction of the Committee, an Employer or agent appointed by
either of them except to the extent required by any applicable state or federal
law, which liability cannot be waived. When the Trustee has made any payment out
of the Trust at the direction of the Committee, an Employer or any agent
appointed by either of them, it shall not be responsible for the correctness of
the amount of the payment to the recipient, or the method by which it is paid.
The Trustee is also protected in relying upon any certificate, notice,
resolution, consent, order, or other communication purporting to have been

of them which it believes to be genuine, without any obligation on the part of

being fulfilled.

for the actions of any other fiduciary or the failure of any other fiduciary to
take action in a given situation.

                  7.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE. Each Employer shall, to the
extent that the loss, liability, claim cost or expense is allocable to the
Employer's Equitable Share, indemnify and hold

<PAGE>   48

harmless the Trustee from any loss, liability, claim, cost or expense (including
attorney's fees, court costs, and other costs in defending a lawsuit) arising
out of its acting as Trustee of the Trust except for any loss, liability, claim
or expense that results from the Trustee's bad faith or gross negligence. For
this purpose, a loss, liability, claim cost or expense that affects or relates
to the entire Trust shall be allocable to each Equitable Share on a pro-rata
basis. The Sponsor shall guarantee each Employer's obligation to indemnify the
Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.4.

                  7.5 WHEN DETERMINING COURSE OF ACTION TRUSTEE MAY RELY UPON
COMMITTEE. If at any time the Trustee is in doubt concerning the course which it
should follow in connection with any matter relating to the administration of
the Trust, it may request the advice of the Committee and be protected in
relying upon the written advice or direction given by the Committee.

Employers at all reasonable times during business hours of the Trustee.

                  8.2 TRUSTEE'S RENDERING OF ACCOUNTING TO COMMITTEE. Within 90

Committee and as of the date of the removal or resignation of the Trustee, the
Trustee must render to the Committee an accounting and report of the Trust
assets for the Plan Year or other period that is applicable since the previous
accounting. The report is to reflect the transactions for the period covered,
the cost of the various lots of Company Stock purchased and the cost of the
other assets and investments purchased, the number of shares of Company Stock
held by the Trust, and the fair market value of the Company Stock and other
assets held in the Trust and the same information as to the account of each
Participant as of the end of the Plan Year or any other date as is applicable.
The report is to be open for inspection for 90 days after its receipt by the
Committee, and if objections are not filed within that period of time, it is
assumed that the report is approved. That approval shall constitute a full and
complete discharge and release to the Trustee by each Employer, all of the
Participants and all other persons having or claiming any interest in the Trust.

and it has accepted the office.

                  9.3 REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee or any successor Trustee

the earlier date.

                  9.4 NO VACANCY IN OFFICE OF TRUSTEE. Any vacancy in the office
of Trustee created by the resignation or removal of the Trustee shall not

Directors must appoint a successor Trustee.

                  9.5 APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. The appointment of a
successor Trustee shall be accomplished by the delivery to the resigning or

or other instruments necessary or advisable for the transfer of all Trust assets
as are reasonably required by the successor Trustee.

                  9.7 CONTINUANCE OF CORPORATE TRUSTEE THROUGH MERGER. Any
corporation into which any corporate Trustee or any successor corporate Trustee
may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which any corporate Trustee or any successor corporate Trustee
may be a party, or any corporation to which all or substantially all of the
trust business of any corporate Trustee or any successor corporate Trustee may
be transferred, shall be a successor of the Trustee under this agreement without
the filing of any instrument or the performance of any other act.

                            ADOPTION BY SUBSIDIARIES

                  10.1 APPLICATION OF TRUST TO ADOPTING SUBSIDIARY. Any
Subsidiary may, with the approval of the Committee, adopt the Trust by
appropriate action of its board of directors. The terms of the Trust shall apply
separately to each Subsidiary adopting the Trust and to its Participants in the
same manner as is expressly provided for the Sponsor and its Participants except
that the powers of the Board of Directors and the Committee under the Plan and
the Trust shall be exercised by the Board of Directors of the Sponsor alone.

                  10.2 ADOPTION OF SINGLE TRUST. The adoption of the Trust by
any Subsidiary will not cause a separate Trust to be established, but the
Equitable Share of each Subsidiary in the Trust assets will remain the property
of that Subsidiary. Though assets of the Trust will be commingled for investment
purposes, the Committee shall maintain sufficient records to determine the
Equitable Share of each Employer. Only the Equitable Share of each Employer
shall be available to provide Plan benefits for the Participants who are
employed by that Employer. It is intended that the obligation of the Sponsor and
each Subsidiary with respect to its Participants shall be the sole obligation of
the Employer that employed the Participant during a given period of time.

                  10.3 TERMINATION OF ADOPTIONS. Any Subsidiary adopting the
Trust may, by appropriate action of its board of directors terminate its
participation in the Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, also terminate
a Subsidiary's participation in the Plan and the Trust at any time. The
termination of the participation in the Trust by a Subsidiary shall not,
however, affect the rights of any Participant who is working or has worked for
the Subsidiary with regard to benefits previously accrued by the Participant
under the Plan, to the extent assets are held in the Trust for the

                                       X-1

benefit of Participants who accrued benefits while employed by the Employer,
without their consent. The Trust though ordered to terminate shall not finally
terminate until all Plan benefits accrued to the date of termination under the
Plan have been paid under the conditions, at the time and in the form then
provided in the Plan. On completion of all payments, any then remaining portion
of the Equitable Share of the Employer shall revert to that Employer and its
participation in the Trust shall then be formally terminated, at the direction
of the Committee.

                            AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

                  11.1 THE SPONSOR'S RIGHT TO AMEND. The Sponsor shall have the
sole right to amend this agreement. An amendment must be made by an executed
written agreement setting forth the nature of the amendment and its effective
date. No amendment shall make this agreement nor the Trust created by this
agreement revocable or shall divert the assets held in the Trust created by this
agreement from the purposes set out in Section 2.2. Each Employer, other than
the Sponsor, shall be deemed to have adopted any amendment made by the Sponsor.
No amendment shall increase the duties of the Trustee without its written
consent.

                  11.2 AMENDMENTS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH STATE OR FEDERAL
STATUTES. The Sponsor agrees to make any amendment to this agreement as may be
necessary to maintain compliance with the various federal and state laws and any
amendment may be made retroactively.

                  11.3 TERMINATION OF TRUST. The Trust shall not terminate until
the date on which Participants and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to
benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Upon the termination of the Trust,
any assets remaining in the Trust shall be returned to the Employers in the
ratio of their Equitable Shares, at the direction of the Committee. Upon written
approval of Participants or beneficiaries entitled to payment of benefits
pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Sponsor may terminate the Trust prior to
the time all benefit payments under the Plan have been made. All assets in the
Trust at termination shall be returned to the Employers in the ratio of their
Equitable Shares, at the direction of the Committee.

                  11.4 CONTINUANCE OF TRUST WHEN THE SPONSOR CONSOLIDATES,
MERGES OR SELLS SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF ITS ASSETS. The Trust created by this
agreement shall not terminate in the event the Sponsor consolidates or merges
and is not the surviving corporation, sells substantially all of its assets, is
a party to a reorganization in which its employees and substantially all of its
assets are transferred to another entity, liquidates or dissolves whether or not
there is a successor corporation. (If there is a successor corporation, it shall
be subject to all the rights and obligations of the Sponsor under the Trust.)
Instead, the Trust shall continue until all Employers have fulfilled their
obligations under Sections 6.3 and 9.3 of the Plan to their Participants, and as
set forth in Section 2.2, at which time it shall automatically terminate using
the procedure described in Section 11.3.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                  12.1 NO EMPLOYMENT COMMITMENT. The adoption and maintenance of
the Trust created under this agreement shall not be deemed to be a contract
between any Employer and the Participants employed by it which gives the
Participants the right to be retained in the employment of the Employer, to
interfere with the rights of the Employer to discharge its Participants at any
time, or to interfere with the Participants' rights to terminate their
employment at any time.

                  12.2 NON-ALIENATION OF BENEFITS. No benefits payable or to
become payable from the Trust created by this agreement shall be subject: to
anticipation or assignment by the Participants or other persons entitled to
receive benefits under the Trust; to attachment by, interference with, or
control of any creditors of the Participants or other persons entitled to
receive benefits under the Trust; or to being taken or reached by any legal or
equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or liability of the Participants
prior to their actual receipt by the Participants or other persons entitled to
receive benefits under the Trust. Any attempted conveyance, transfer,
assignment, mortgage, pledge, or encumbrance of the Trust, any part of it, or
any interest in it by a Participant, or any person entitled to obtain benefits
under the Trust, prior to distribution shall be void, whether that conveyance,
transfer, assignment, mortgage, pledge or encumbrance is intended to take place
or become effective before or after any distribution of Trust assets or the
termination of the Trust itself. The Trustee shall never under any circumstances
be required to recognize any conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, pledge
or encumbrance by a Participant, or other person entitled to receive benefits
under the Trust, of the Trust created under this agreement, any part of it, or
any interest in

                                     XII-1
<PAGE>   57

it, or to pay any money or thing of value to any creditor or assignee of a
Participant, or other person entitled to receive benefits under the Trust, for
any cause whatsoever.

                  12.3 GENDER AND NUMBER OF WORDS. If the context requires it,
words of one gender shall include the other genders, and words used in the
singular or the plural shall include the other.

                  12.4 TEXAS LAW APPLICABLE. The provisions of this agreement
shall be construed, according to the laws of the State of Texas.

                  12.5 SEVERABILITY OF AGREEMENT. Each provision of this
agreement is severable and if any provision is found to be void or against
public policy, it shall not affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Sponsor and the Trustee have caused
this agreement to be executed effective as of April 1, 2000.
