    LEGAL
      SERVICES FEE AGREEMENT

     

    This
      Legal Services Fee Agreement (as amended from time to time, this "Agreement")
      is
      made and entered into this 14th
      day of
      April, 2006, by and between Forgent Networks, Inc. (the "Client") and Hagans,
      Bobb & Burdine, P.C. and Bracewell & Giuliani, L.L.P.(each individually
      a “Law Firm” and collectively the "Law Firms"). The Law Firms and the Client are
      sometimes collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Parties." Any one of
      the
      Parties may be sometimes hereinafter referred to as a "Party."

     

    This
      Agreement concerns U.S. Patent Nos. 6,181,784, 6,285,746, 6,480,584, and
      6,674,960, together with any continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions
      and/or foreign counterparts thereof (collectively, the "Patents"). The Client
      is
      executing this Agreement for the purpose of retaining the Law Firms to represent
      it in connection with (i) investigating and asserting claims, including the
      filing and prosecution of lawsuits, against any other person who may be
      infringing the Patents (any such claim as to which litigation is filed being
      hereinafter referred to as a "Lawsuit"), and (ii) negotiating with infringers
      to
      obtain and secure licensing or sublicensing agreements between the Client and
      the infringers (any such licensing or sublicensing agreements negotiated by
      the
      Law Firms referred to herein as a "License Agreement," and any negotiations
      for
      such License Agreements referred to herein as the "License Negotiations").
      The
      Client is not engaging the Law Firms to market or commercialize its technologies
      to non-infringers. The Client understands and acknowledges that patent
      infringement litigation often presents novel and difficult questions of both
      law
      and fact, and the acceptance of the engagement by the Law Firm in this matter
      may preclude engagements by the Law Firms on other matters.

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth in this
      Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
      sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and confessed by each Party, the
      Parties agree as follows:

     

    1. Patents
      and Information Provided by Client.
      The
      Client agrees to use reasonable efforts to provide the Law Firms with all
      information and documents in the possession of the Client or any entities
      affiliated with the Client reasonably required in connection with performing
      Law
      Firm's duties and obligations hereunder.

     

    2. Client's
      Patent Rights.
      The
      Client represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge after
      reasonable investigation, it owns the exclusive right to enforce all rights
      with
      respect to the Patents, including, without limitation, the exclusive right
      to
      bring actions against others for infringement of the Patents, to license and
      sublicense the Patents, and to collect all royalties, license fees, profits
      or
      other revenue or valuable consideration to be paid or exchanged by anyone else
      for the right to use the Patents. The Client agrees to timely pay all
      maintenance fees due on the Patents.

     

    3. Contingent
      Fee Compensation to Law Firm.

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              For
                services rendered pursuant hereto, the Client hereby agrees to pay
                the Law
                Firms a contingent fee equal to 30% (15% to each Law Firm) of all
                License
                Proceeds and Litigation Proceeds. For purposes hereof, (i) "License
                Proceeds" shall mean any revenues, including but not limited to,
                royalties
                or license fees, money or other valuable consideration received by
                the
                Client through, under or as a result of any License Agreement and/or
                any
                License Negotiations initiated after the effective date of this Agreement,
                and (ii) "Litigation Proceeds" shall mean any recovery realized out
                of or
                collected from or in connection with any Lawsuit, either through
                settlement, compromise or judgment, including, but not limited to,
                compensatory damages, exemplary damages, attorneys' fees, prejudgment
                interest, and post judgment interest (whether through trial or settlement
                of any Lawsuit), initiated after the effective date of this
                Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              The
                Law Firms will receive their respective percentage interest in the
                License
                Proceeds and Litigation Proceeds as they are paid to the Client or,
                at the
                election of the Client, based upon the present value of the amount
                of
                money that is to be paid to the Client over time. If the Client chooses
                to
                waive any such future payments, it will pay each Law Firm an amount
                equal
                to the Law Firm's interest in those payments as they otherwise would
                have
                been made to the Client. The Parties agree that (x) the License Proceeds
                shall include the full fair market value of any non-monetary proceeds
                and
                shall not be reduced by any cross-license, cross-action, setoff or
                other
                payment by Client, which shall be the sole responsibility of Client,
                and
                (y) the Litigation Proceeds shall include the full fair market value
                of
                any non-monetary relief obtained or received directly by the Client
                or any
                related entity as a proximate result of any Lawsuit, such as injunctive
                relief. The Law Firms’ contingent fees based on License Proceeds and
                Litigation Proceeds shall collectively be referred to herein as the
                "Contingent Attorneys' Fees."

            

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    
      	 	
              (c)

            	
              The
                Client shall pay the Contingent Attorneys' Fees to the Law Firms
                quarterly, on or before the 10th
                day of each succeeding fiscal quarter. With each such lump sum payment,
                the Client shall provide the Law Firms with a (i) detailed accounting
                of
                all License Proceeds and Litigation Proceeds received by the Client
                during
                the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, and (ii) a calculation
                of the
                quarterly lump sum amount being tendered to the Law Firms. Each Law
                Firm
                shall have 30 days following its receipt of each quarterly payment
                and the
                accompanying detail within which to verify and/or object to the Client's
                calculation of the quarterly payment amount. If a Law Firm fails
                to object
                to any quarterly calculation within such 30 day period, the calculation
                and the payment received shall, absent fraud by the Client, be deemed
                to
                have been accepted by such Law Firm and shall be
                final.

            

    

     

    4. Client
      Payment of Related Expenses.
      During
      the term hereof, the Client shall be liable for and shall pay all Related
      Expenses. For purposes hereof, "Related Expenses" shall mean any reasonable
      expenses incurred by the Client or by the Law Firms on the Client's behalf
      in
      connection with each Law Firm's performance of its duties and responsibilities
      hereunder, including but not limited to, travel expenses, long distance calls,
      investigation fees, consultant fees, expert and witness fees, charts,
      photographs, deposition fees and costs, court costs, photocopying and other
      document reproduction costs, postage charges, fax charges, on-line computer
      research. The Parties shall advise each other in advance of incurring Related
      Expenses that will exceed $5,000, and will provide each other with an updated
      list of Related Expenses incurred, received or paid by such Party on a monthly
      basis. It is anticipated that some Related Expenses will be paid by Law Firms
      and then billed to Client while other Related Expenses will be forwarded to
      Client for payment directly to the third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      the Related Expenses shall be reimbursed to the Client out of any License
      Proceeds or Litigation Proceeds up to, but not to exceed, 20% of any such
      License Proceeds or Litigation Proceeds recovered from any person(s) at any
      one
      time. For example, if License Proceeds or Litigation Proceeds are recovered
      from
      a License Negotiation or any Lawsuit from any person, then up to 20% of such
      total proceeds will be paid to the Client as reimbursement for the Related
      Expenses incurred, and the remainder of the License Proceeds or Litigation
      Proceeds will be distributed to the Law Firms and the Client in accordance
      with
      the provisions of Paragraph 3(a) above. In the event that the total amount
      of
      the License Proceeds or Litigation Proceeds recovered with respect to a
      particular License Negotiation or Lawsuit are insufficient to reimburse the
      Client fully for the Related Expenses, the Client agrees that the Client shall
      bear the unreimbursed portion of the Related Expenses and that the Law Firms
      shall not be liable for any of the Related Expenses not reimbursed.

     

    5. Court
      Award of Attorneys Fees or Costs.
      Where
      reasonably appropriate under the circumstances in any Lawsuit, the Law Firms
      shall apply to the Court for such amount of compensation, costs, and litigation
      expenses, if any, as may reasonably be allowed to the Client by law ("Attorneys
      Fees and Costs"). Any Attorneys Fees and Costs recovered under this paragraph
      shall be treated as Litigation Proceeds under this Agreement.

     

    6. Defense
      of Counterclaims and Declaratory Judgment Actions.
      The Law
      Firms shall defend any action or counterclaim relating to the Patents filed
      against the Client by a defendant in a Lawsuit or by any person with whom the
      Client has been engaged in License Negotiations, including but not limited
      to,
      any action or counterclaim for declaratory judgment of patent invalidity,
      unenforceability or non-infringement relating to the Patents, or for violation
      of the state or federal antitrust laws relating to the Patents, or for any
      other
      claim that is substantively related to the Patents or Client's rights therein,
      on the basis specified in Paragraphs 3 and 4 above. To the extent that any
      action, claim or counterclaim is asserted against the Client that is unrelated
      to the subject matter of the Patents and the Client desires the Law Firms to
      defend the Client against such cause of action, the Law Firms and the Client
      may
      agree to such representation on such terms as are mutually
      acceptable.

     

    7. Lead
      Counsel; Law Firm Association of other Lawyers or
      Assignment.
      Client
      and Law Firms agree that Hagans, Bobb & Burdine shall be lead counsel in
      connection a Lawsuit. The Law Firms agree to perform faithfully the duties
      imposed upon the Law Firms as attorneys for the Client in accordance herewith.
      The Law Firms may, with Client's prior written consent, associate any other
      attorney, law firm or other entity ("Other Counsel"), as allowed by law, in
      pursuing their duties and obligations hereunder. If such Other Counsel is
      located and/or has a permanent presence in the jurisdiction where the Lawsuit
      is
      pending (such Other Counsel being "Local Counsel" for purposes hereof), Client
      shall bear all related Local Counsel Fees due and payable to such Local Counsel.
      If such Other Counsel does not qualify as "Local Counsel" as defined herein,
      the
      Law Firms shall bear all fees and expenses due and payable to such Other
      Counsel. In either event, the engagement of Other Counsel in accordance herewith
      shall not (i) relieve the Law Firms from their responsibility as legal counsel
      for the Client without Client's prior written consent, or (ii) except as
      expressly noted herein relative to the payment of Local Counsel Fees by Client,
      increase the cost to Client of any Lawsuits or reduce the interest of the Client
      in the License Proceeds or Litigation Proceeds. To the extent it is necessary
      to
      hire Other Counsel in connection with any Lawsuit, Client and Law Firms shall
      cooperate in the selection of such local counsel. 

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    8. Assignment
      of Patents or Any Rights Therein.
      The Law
      Firms and the Client acknowledge and agree that the Client's agreement to pay
      the Law Firms the Contingent Attorneys' Fees hereunder is in no way a conveyance
      or assignment of any interest or rights to the Patents. The Client retains
      the
      right to use the technology in the Patents and to make, have made, import,
      use,
      sell or offer for sale any equipment, device or apparatus and to practice any
      method covered by any claim of any of the Patents, for the customers of the
      Client.

     

    9. Termination
      of Engagement.

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              By
                the Law Firms.
                The Law Firms may at any time, at their option (and with Court approval
                in
                the case of any Lawsuit), with or without cause, terminate their
                representation of the Client hereunder by providing not less than
                90 days'
                prior written notice to the Client.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              By
                the Client.
                The Client may at any time, with or without cause, terminate the
                Law
                Firm's representation of the Client hereunder by providing not less
                than
                90 days' prior written notice to the Law
                Firm.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (c)

            	
              Effect
                of Termination.
                Upon the termination of the Law Firms’ representation of the Client
                hereunder by either Party, this Agreement shall be terminated and
                shall no
                longer be of any force or effect, and neither Party shall thereafter
                be
                liable to the other hereunder except as expressly provided herein.
                Notwithstanding the termination hereof, the Client shall compensate
                the
                Law Firms hereunder as follows:

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (1)

            	
              With
                respect to any Contingent Attorneys' Fees due as of or subsequent
                to the
                Termination Date with respect to any Lawsuits or License Negotiations
                completed prior to the Termination Date, the Client shall pay the
                Law
                Firms such fees as prescribed in Paragraph 3
                above.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (2)

            	
              With
                respect to any Lawsuit or License Negotiation hereunder that is not
                completed prior to the Termination Date, but that is thereafter completed
                by the Client with or without the assistance of replacement legal
                counsel,
                upon receipt of any License Proceeds or Litigation Proceeds with
                respect
                thereto, the Client shall pay the Law Firms their pro rata share
                of such
                proceeds. For purposes hereof, the Law Firms’ "pro rata share" shall be
                (A) the total amount of the proceeds that otherwise would have been
                due and payable to the Law Firms hereunder relative to such Lawsuit
                or
                License Negotiation if this Agreement had remained in effect through
                the
                date of Client's receipt of the License Proceeds or Litigation Proceeds,
                multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to
                the
                amount that would represent the Law Firms’ total billings (exclusive of
                Enforcement Expenses) for legal services rendered (assuming solely
                for
                purposes hereof that the Law Firms were in fact billing the Client
                at
                their then standard hourly rates (the "assumed billings") rather
                than
                billing the Client in accordance with Paragraph 3 above) relative
                to such
                Lawsuit or License Negotiation during the period beginning on the
                effective date of this Agreement and ending on the Termination Date,
                and
                the denominator of which is equal to the total billings (exclusive
                of
                Enforcement Expenses) by all law firms (including the assumed billings
                by
                the Law Firms) for legal services rendered relative to such Lawsuit
                or
                License Negotiation prior to the date such Lawsuit or License Negotiation
                is completed. Also for purposes hereof, the total billings of the
                Law
                Firms that comprise the numerator, and the total billings of the
                additional law firms that comprise part of the denominator, must
                be
                reasonable as to both time and billing
                rates.

            

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    10. Audit.
      As long
      as the Law Firms are entitled to receive payments resulting from any License
      Proceeds or Litigation Proceeds, the Law Firms shall have the right to audit
      all
      financial records of the Client related to the receipt of any such
      proceeds.

     

    11. Law
      Firm Authority to Act for Client.
      Subject
      to the Client's right to pre-approve Related Expenses in accordance with
      Paragraph 4 above, the Client authorizes the Law Firms to try, negotiate,
      compromise, settle and receive for and in Client's name, all compensation,
      damages or property to which Client may become entitled by reason of any License
      Agreement or Lawsuit. Client agrees not to enter into any License Agreement
      or
      settle any Lawsuit without consultation with the Law Firms, and the Law Firms
      agree not to enter into any License Agreement or settle any Lawsuit without
      the
      written consent of the Client.

     

    12. No
      Representation or Warranty by Law Firm.
      Each
      Party specifically recognizes that the other Party has made no representation
      or
      warranty whatsoever regarding the probable outcome of any Lawsuit and has in
      no
      way guaranteed the result or outcome of nor any recovery from the settlement
      or
      trail of any Lawsuit.

     

    13. Other
      Documents.
      The
      Parties agree to execute such other documents as might be reasonably necessary
      or appropriate to consummate and implement the terms of this
      Agreement.

     

    14. Bankruptcy.
      Client
      represents to Law Firms that Client is not presently filing, nor contemplating
      filing, for protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar laws
      of any other country. Client agrees that in the event Client files for
      bankruptcy or ends up in bankruptcy under United States laws or similar laws
      of
      any other country, Law Firms will be promptly notified of any such event and
      that the lawsuits and cause(s) of action covered by this Agreement will be
      promptly scheduled as an asset by the Client in accordance with the Bankruptcy
      Code and its rules of procedure. Because a bankruptcy or similar proceeding
      by
      Client could require Law Firms to engage special counsel or to otherwise perform
      legal services in addition to those services for which Law Firms were retained
      under this Agreement (e.g. special retentions by Client or Trustee; issues
      relating to waiver of privilege and assumption of executory contracts;
      application and payment of attorney’s fees and approval of settlements; etc.),
      Client agrees that Law Firms shall be fully reimbursed by Client, or reimbursed
      out of Client’s share of Litigation Proceeds and License Proceeds, for the time
      spent and costs incurred for these extra services. Client expressly consents
      to
      the retention by Law Firms of such other special counsel and/or incurring such
      costs and time as reasonably necessary to address additional matters in
      bankruptcy as raised herein, and for the Law Firms to be reimbursed as set
      forth
      above.

     

    15. Remedies
      for Breach.
      In the
      event that any Party hereto shall breach any of the obligations imposed by
      this
      Agreement, then a non-breaching Party shall be entitled to pursue a claim for
      monetary damages as a result of such breach. No Party, however, shall be
      entitled to recover special, indirect, or consequential damages, including
      lost
      profits, from any other Party. For purposes of this paragraph, if the Client
      breaches the Agreement, the compensation to which the Law Firms may be entitled
      under Paragraph 3 herein is not "special, indirect, or consequential damages,
      including lost profits."

     

    16. Successors
      and Assigns.
      This
      Agreement is and shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the Parties,
      legal
      representatives, successors and assigns.

     

    17. Governing
      Law.
      It is
      expressly understood and agreed that this Agreement shall be governed by,
      construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
      of
      Texas without regard to conflicts of law rules or principles.

     

    18. Tax
      Matters.
      Client’s representation by Law Firms does not include matters pertaining to
      taxation or the tax consequences of any settlement of Client’s claims, any
      Litigation Proceeds received by Client or any revenues or other benefits
      received by Client from License Negotiations or any other source.

     

    19. Legal
      Construction.
      In case
      any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any
      reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
      invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other
      provisions thereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
      illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained
      herein.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    20. Waiver
      and Integration Clause.
      This
      Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties and supersedes
      any
      prior understandings or written or oral agreement between the Parties respecting
      the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or
      amended except by a subsequent agreement in writing signed by the Parties.
      The
      Parties may waive any of the conditions contained herein or any of the
      obligations of any other party. Any such waiver shall be effective only if
      in
      writing and signed by the Party waiving such condition or
      obligation.

     

    21. Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each one of which will
      be
      considered to be an original.

     

    22. State
      Bar Notice.
      The
      Texas State Bar Act requires that Texas attorneys give notice to their clients
      that the State Bar of Texas investigates and prosecutes professional misconduct
      committed by Texas attorneys. Although not every complaint against or dispute
      with a lawyer involves professional misconduct, the State Bar's Office of the
      General Counsel will provide information about how to file a complaint by
      calling 1-800-932-1900 toll free.

      amount, which amount may not be less than the par value of the Restricted Shares

    (b)
      The
      Restrictions on Restricted Shares shall lapse in whole, or in installments,
      over
      whatever Restricted Period shall be selected by the Committee; provided,
      however, that a complete lapse of Restrictions always shall occur on or before
      the 9th anniversary of the Date of Grant.

    

    (c)
      Without limitation, the Committee may accelerate the date on which Restrictions
      lapse with respect to any Restricted Shares.

    

    (d)
      During
      the Restricted Period, the certificates representing the Restricted Shares,
      and
      any Restricted Share Distributions, shall be registered in the Holder’s name and
      bear a restrictive legend disclosing the Restrictions, the existence of the
      Plan, and the existence of the applicable agreement granting such
      Restricted

    

    Share
      Award. Such certificates shall be deposited by the Holder with the Company,
      together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed
      in
      blank, which will permit the transfer to the Company of all or any portion
      of
      the Restricted Shares, and any assets constituting Restricted Share
      Distributions, which shall be forfeited in accordance with the applicable
      agreement granting such Restricted Share Award. Restricted Shares shall
      constitute issued and outstanding Common Stock for all corporate purposes and
      the Holder shall have all rights, powers and privileges of a Holder of
      unrestricted Shares except that the Holder will not be entitled to delivery
      of
      the stock certificates until all Restrictions shall have terminated, and the
      Company will retain custody of all related Restricted Share Distributions (which
      will be subject to the same Restrictions, terms, and conditions as the related
      Restricted Shares) until the conclusion of the Restricted Period with respect
      to
      the related Restricted Shares; and provided, further, that any Restricted Share
      Distributions shall not bear interest or be segregated into a separate account
      but shall remain a general asset of the Company, subject to the claims of the
      Company’s creditors, until the conclusion of the applicable Restricted Period,
      and provided, finally, that any material breach of any terms of the agreement
      granting the Restricted Share Award, as reasonably determined by the Committee
      will cause a forfeiture of both Restricted Shares and Restricted Share
      Distributions.

    

    5.

      Without limitation, Awards shall only be granted to such one or more Eligible
      Persons as shall be selected by the Committee.

    

    (b)
      In
      granting Awards, the Committee shall take into consideration the contribution
      the Eligible Person has made or may be reasonably expected to make to the

      The Committee shall also have the authority to consult with and receive
      recommendations from officers and other personnel of the Company with regard
      to
      these matters. The Committee may from time to time in granting Awards under
      the
      Plan prescribe such other terms and conditions concerning such Awards as it
      deems appropriate, including, without limitation, relating an Award to
      achievement of specific goals established by the Committee or to the continued
      employment of the Eligible Person for a specified period of time, provided
      that
      such terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
      Plan.

    

    (c)
      The
      Plan shall not confer upon any Holder any right with respect to continuation
      of
      employment by the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his right
      or
      the Company’s right to terminate his employment at any time.

    

    (d)
      The
      Awards granted to Eligible Persons shall be in addition to regular salaries,
      pension, life insurance or other benefits related to their service to the
      Company. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall confer
      upon
      any person any right to continuance of employment by the Company, and provided,
      further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the ability of the Company
      to enter into any other compensation arrangements with any Eligible
      Person.

    

    (e)
      The
      Committee shall determine in each case whether periods of military or government
      service shall constitute a continuation of employment for the purposes of this
      Plan or any Award.

    

    (f)
      Without limitation, each Award may provide for the issuance of Available Shares
      for consideration consisting of such consideration as the Committee may
      determine, including (without limitation) as compensation for past services
      rendered.

    

    6.
      TERMINATION
      OF AWARD. Each Award shall be evidenced by an agreement that may contain any
      provisions selected by the Committee; provided, however, that in each case,
      unless expressly provided to the contrary in the Award, the Restricted portion
      of an Award shall automatically and without notice be canceled and become null
      and void on the date that Holder ceases to be employed by the Company for any
      reason other than death or Disability.

    

    7.
      ACCELERATION.

    

    (a)
      Unless
      expressly provided to the contrary in the Award, in the event the Holder ceases
      to be employed by the Company by reason of the Holder’s death, or Disability,
      the Restricted Period shall terminate, and all Restrictions shall lapse, as
      of
      the day before the date of Holder’s death or Disability.

    

    (b)
      In the
      event of either a Change in Control, or a Potential Change in Control, unless
      otherwise expressly provided in the Award (i) the Restricted Period shall
      terminate, and all Restrictions shall lapse, and (ii) the value of all
      outstanding Restricted Shares shall be cashed out on the basis of the Change
      in
      Control Price, effective as the date of the Change in Control, or on such other
      date as the Committee may determine prior to the Change in Control.

    

    8.
      ADJUSTMENT OF AVAILABLE SHARES.

    

    (a)
      If at
      any time while the Plan is in effect or Awards with respect to Available Shares
      are outstanding, there shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued
      and outstanding Shares through the declaration of a stock dividend or through
      any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange
      of
      Shares, then and in such event an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
      maximum number of Available Shares which may be granted under SECTION 3, and
      in
      the Available Shares which are then subject to each Award, so that the same
      proportion of the Parent’s issued and outstanding Common Stock shall continue to
      be subject to grant under SECTION 3, and to such Award.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b)
      Except
      as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Parent of shares
      of
      its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital
      stock of any class, either in connection with direct sale for adequate
      consideration, or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor,
      or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Parent convertible into
      such
      shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason
      thereof shall be made with respect to Available Shares subject to Awards granted
      under the Plan.

    

    (c)
      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of outstanding
      Awards with respect to Available Shares granted under the Plan shall not affect
      in any manner the right or power of the Parent to make, authorize or consummate
      (1) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes
      in the Parent’s capital structure or its business; (2) any merger or
      consolidation of the Parent; (3) any issue by the Parent of debt securities,
      or
      preferred or preference stock which would rank above the Available Shares
      subject to outstanding Awards; (4) the dissolution or liquidation of the Parent;
      (5) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or
      business of the Company; or (6) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether
      of a similar character or otherwise.

    

    9.
      TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Award,
      each Award shall provide that the Holder shall not be permitted to transfer
      (which includes, without limitation, a sale, pledge, assignment or other
      disposition) the Restricted Shares, except by will or the laws of descent and
      distribution; and if a transfer of any type is permitted under the express
      terms
      of the Award, the Restrictions shall remain in effect subsequent to such
      transfer.

    

    10.
      ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 4(A), no Holder
      or
      other person shall be, or have any of the rights or privileges of, the owner
      of
      Shares subject to an Award unless and until the Restrictions shall have lapsed
      and certificates representing such Common Stock shall have been issued and
      delivered to such Holder or other person. As a condition of any issuance of
      Common Stock with respect to which Restrictions have lapsed, the Committee
      may
      obtain such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Committee may deem
      necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or regulation,
      or
      shareholder agreement including, but not limited to, the following:

    

    
      	 	
              (i)

            	
              
                a
                  representation, warranty or agreement by the Holder to the Parent,
                  at the
                  time any Shares are transferred, that he is acquiring the Shares
                  to be
                  issued to him for investment and not with a view to, or for sale
                  in
                  connection with, the distribution of any such Shares;
                  and

              

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              (ii)
                

            	
              a
                representation, warranty or agreement to be bound by any legends
                that are,
                in the opinion of the Committee, necessary or appropriate to comply
                with
                the provisions of any securities law deemed by the Committee to be
                applicable to the issuance of the Shares and are endorsed upon the
                Share
                certificates.

            

    

    

    Notwithstanding
      any provision hereof to the contrary, no Shares shall be required to be issued
      with respect to an Award unless counsel for the Parent shall be reasonably
      satisfied that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable Federal
      or
      state securities laws.

    

    11.
      ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

    

    (a)
      The
      Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board and,
      except for the powers reserved to the Board in SECTION 14 hereof, the Committee
      shall have all of the administrative powers under Plan.

    

    (b)
      The
      Committee, from time to time, may adopt rules and regulations for carrying
      out
      the purposes of the Plan and, without limitation, may delegate all of what,
      in
      its sole discretion, it determines to be ministerial duties to an officer of
      the
      Parent. The determinations under, and the interpretations of, any provision
      of
      the Plan or an Award by the Committee shall, in all cases, be in its sole
      discretion, and shall be final and conclusive.

    

    (c)
      Any
      and all determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be made either
      (i) by a majority vote of the members of the Committee at a meeting duly called,
      with at least 3 days prior notice and a general explanation of the subject
      matter given to each member, or (ii) without a meeting, by the written approval
      of all members of the Committee.

    

    (d)
      No
      member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to
      be
      taken by him or by any other member of the Committee with respect to the Plan,
      and to the extent of liabilities not otherwise insured under a policy purchased
      by the Company, the Company does hereby indemnify and agree to defend and save
      harmless any member of the Committee with respect to any liabilities asserted
      or
      incurred in connection with the exercise and performance of their powers and
      duties hereunder, unless such liabilities are judicially determined to have
      arisen out of such member’s gross negligence, fraud or bad faith. Such
      indemnification shall include attorney’s fees and all other costs and expenses
      reasonably incurred in defense of any action arising from such act of commission
      or omission. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the Company’s ability to
      insure itself with respect to its obligations hereunder.

    

    (e)
      In
      particular, and without limitation, the Committee shall have the authority,
      consistent with the terms of the Plan:

    

    (i)
      to
      select the Eligible Persons to whom Awards may from time to time be granted
      hereunder;

    

    (ii)
      to
      determine whether and to what extent Awards are to be granted hereunder to
      one
      or more eligible persons;

    

    (iii)
      to
      determine the number of Shares to be covered by each such Award granted
      hereunder;

    

    (iv)
      to
      determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the
      Plan,
      of any Award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, any restriction
      or limitation, or any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions,
      based in each case on such factors as the Committee shall determine, in its
      sole
      discretion); and to amend or waive any such terms and conditions to the extent
      permitted by the Plan;

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (f)
      The
      Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter, and repeal such rules,
      guidelines, and practices governing the Plan as it shall, from time to time,
      deem advisable; to interpret any and all of the terms and provisions of the
      Plan
      and any and all Awards issued under the Plan (and any agreements relating
      thereto), which decisions shall not be subject to review; and to otherwise
      supervise the administration of the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent
      that this Plan otherwise requires the approval of the Board or the shareholders
      of the Parent, all decisions of the Committee shall be subject to such Board
      or
      shareholder approval. Subject to the foregoing, and without limitation, all
      decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall
      be
      made in the Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding on all
      persons, including the Company and Holders.

    

    12.
      TAX
      WITHHOLDING. On or immediately prior to the date on which an amount is required
      to be included in the income of the Holder as a result of an Award, the Holder
      shall be required to pay to the Company, in cash or in Shares (but in shares
      only if expressly provided with the Award or upon approval of the Committee),
      including, but not limited to, the reservation to the Company of the requisite
      number of Available Shares otherwise vested with respect to such Holder with
      respect to such Award the amount which the Company reasonably determines to
      be
      necessary in order for the Company to comply with applicable federal or state
      tax withholding requirements, and the collection of employment taxes, if
      applicable; provided, further, without limitations, that the Committee may
      require that such payment be made in cash.

    

    13.
      INTERPRETATION.

    

    (a)
      If any
      provision of the Plan is held invalid for any reason, such holding shall not
      affect the remaining provisions hereof, but instead the Plan shall be construed
      and enforced as if such provision had never been included in the
      Plan.

    

    (b)
      THIS
      PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

    

    (c)
      Headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall in
      no
      manner be construed as part of this Plan.

    

    (d)
      Any
      reference to the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall be a reference
      to
      such other gender as is appropriate.

    

    (e)
      The
      Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred
      compensation.

    

    (f)
      Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other
      or
      additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such
      approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable
      or applicable only in specific cases.

    

    14.
      AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUATION OF THE PLAN. The Board, may from time to time
      amend the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment may, without approval
      by the shareholders of the Parent, (a) increase the number of Available Shares
      or change the class of Eligible Persons, (b) extend the termination date of
      the
      Plan (c); increase the Section 162(m) Maximum; or (d) make any change for which
      applicable law or regulatory authority (including the regulatory authority
      of
      the market on which the Common Stock is traded) would require shareholder
      approval or for which shareholder approval would be required to secure all
      deductibility of compensation received under the Plan under Section 162(m)
      of
      the Code 24; and provided, further, that no amendment or suspension of the
      Plan
      or any Award issued hereunder shall, except as specifically permitted in this
      Plan or under the terms of such Award, substantially impair any Award previously
      granted to any Holder without the consent of such Holder. Solely for purposes
      of
      computing the Section 162(m) Maximum, if any Award(s) previously granted is
      canceled and new Award(s) granted with more favorable terms, as generally
      defined in applicable Treasury regulations, under some circumstances, as
      reasonably determined by the Committee, both the initial Award(s) and the
      replacement Award(s) will be deemed to be outstanding (although the canceled
      Award(s) will not deemed outstanding for any other purposes).

    

    15.
      SECTION 83(B) ELECTION. As a result of receiving an Award a Holder may elect
      under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in his gross income, for his taxable
      year in which the Restricted Shares are transferred to him, the excess of the
      Fair Market Value (determined without regard to any Restriction other than
      one
      which by its terms will never lapse), of such Restricted Shares at the Date
      of
      Grant, over the amount paid for the Restricted Shares. If the Holder makes
      the
      Section 83(b) election described above, the Holder shall (i) make such election
      in a manner that is satisfactory to the Committee, (ii) provide the Committee
      with a copy of such election, (iii) agree to promptly notify the Company if
      any
      Internal Revenue Service or state tax agent, on audit or otherwise, questions
      the validity or correctness of such election or of the amount of income
      reportable on account of such election, and (iv) agree to such federal and
      state
      income withholding as the Committee may reasonably require in its sole and
      absolute discretion.

    

    16.
      EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION DATE. The Plan shall be effective as of its
      Effective Date, and shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of such Effective
      Date; provided, however, that unless approved by the shareholders of the Company
      in the manner described under Section 422 of the Code on or before the first
      anniversary of its Effective Date, the Plan shall be terminated retroactive
      to
      its Effective Date and all Awards granted thereunder shall be null and void
      ab
      initio.
