(iii)

Executive will be obligated to repay to the Company, in cash, within five business days after demand is made therefor by the Company, the total amount of any payments made by the Company to the Executive

“Award” shall mean any cash award, stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, deferred stock, bonus stock, dividend equivalent, or other stock-based or performance-based award or similar award, together with any related right or interest, granted to or held by Executive.

(e) Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason), by making himself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to assist the Company, or any Subsidiary, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, or any Subsidiary as requested; provided, however that the same does not materially interfere with his then current professional activities. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive, on an after-tax basis, for all expenses actually incurred in connection with his provision of testimony or assistance.

(f) The Executive agrees that, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) he will not make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations. The Company agrees that, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) the Company will not make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may directly or indirectly, disparage Executive or his business or reputation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude either Executive or the Company from making truthful statements or disclosures that are required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process.

(g) Executive recognizes that all Confidential Information and copies or reproductions thereof, relating to the Company’s operations and activities made or received by Executive in the course of his Employment are the exclusive property of the Company. Upon any termination of employment, Executive agrees to deliver any Company property and any documents, notes, drawings, specifications, computer software, data and other materials of any nature pertaining to any Confidential Information that are held by Executive and will not take any of the foregoing, or any reproduction of any of the foregoing, that is embodied an any tangible medium of expression, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Executive from retaining his personal phone directories and rolodexes.

Section 11. Non-competition/Prior Employment Covenants.

(a) During Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether individually or as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity

with any corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity, carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another to carry on or engage in, any other business, work or activity similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its affiliates. During the Restriction Period (as defined below), Executive shall refrain from, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether individually or as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, shareholder (except as a less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or owner of or in any capacity with any corporation, partnership, business, company or other entity, (i) carrying on or engaging in, or assisting another to carry on or engage in, any other business, work or activity similar to the business, work or activity of the Company or its affiliates in the geographical areas listed on Attachment 2 (the “Restricted Areas”) in which the Company or its affiliates are then engaged in business and (ii) soliciting customers of the Company or its affiliates in the Restricted Area. The Parties acknowledge that the Company is expanding and in order to prevent ongoing, repetitious amendments to this Agreement solely for the purpose of updating the Restricted Areas, the Parties agree that the Restricted Areas, inclusive of Attachment 2, shall be self-amending to include all parishes, counties and States in which the Company conducts business or actively solicits business at any time during Executive’s employment with the Company and in no event shall such Restricted Areas be less than that contained in Attachment 2. The Parties intend and agree that Executive’s continued employment thereafter shall serve as the Parties’ constructive acceptance of an amendment to enlarge the Restricted Areas.

(b) For the purposes of this Section 11, “Restriction Period” shall mean the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending with:

(i)

in the case of a termination of Executive’s employment without Cause or a termination with Good Reason, pursuant to Section 8(c)(whether during or after the Term of Employment), the Restriction Period shall terminate on the date that the last severance payment is made to Executive;

(ii)

in the case of a termination of Executive’s employment for Cause or in the case of a voluntary termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(d) above (whether during or after the Term of Employment), 18 months from the date of such termination;

(iii)

in the case of a Retirement pursuant to Section 8(f) above or a termination due to Disability pursuant to 8(a) above, 18 months from the date of Retirement or the date of the termination due to Disability;

(iv)

in the case of any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(e) above, 18 months from the date of such termination.

(c) The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that performance of the Executive’s duties pursuant to this Agreement will not violate any agreements with or trade secrets of any other person or entity or previous employers, including without limitation agreements containing provisions against solicitation or competition.

Section 12. Non-solicitation of Employees and Customers. During the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending 18 months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall not induce: (i) employees of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their employment (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prevent Executive from engaging in generic non-targeted advertising for employees generally), or (ii) customers of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate their relationship with the Company, within the Restricted Areas. During such period, Executive shall not hire, either directly or through any employee, agent or representative, any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or any person who was employed by the Company or any Subsidiary within 180 days of such hiring.

Section 13. Remedies. In addition to whatever other rights and remedies the Company may have at equity or in law (including without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages), if Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Sections 10, 11 or 12, the Company (a) shall have its rights under Section 9 of this Agreement, (b) shall have the right to immediately terminate all payments and benefits due under this Agreement and (c) shall have the right to seek injunctive relief, without the requirement to prove actual damages or to post any bond or other security. Executive hereby waves the requirement of posting bond or other security and acknowledges that such a breach of Sections 10, 11 or 12 would cause irreparable injury and that money damages alone would not provide an adequate remedy for the Company; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prevent Executive from contesting the issuance of any such injunction on the ground that no violation or threatened violation of Sections 10, 11 or 12 has occurred.

Section 14. Resolution of Disputes. In the event that either Party to this Agreement has any claim, right or cause of action against the other Party to this Agreement, which the Parties are unable to settle by agreement between themselves, such claim, right or cause of action, to the extent that the relief sought by such Party is for monetary damages or awards, will be determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.

(a) The Party claiming a cause of action or breach of this Agreement shall first provide the other Party with written notice of the breach. If the breach is not remedied within 15 days of said notice, the Party claiming the breach may request arbitration by serving upon the other a demand therefor, in writing, specifying the matter to be submitted to arbitration, and nominating a competent disinterested person to act as an arbitrator. Within 15 days after receipt of such written demand and nomination, the other Party will, in writing, nominate a competent disinterested person, and the two arbitrators so designated will, within 15 days thereafter, select a third arbitrator. The three arbitrators will give immediate written notice of such selection to the Parties and will fix in said notice a time and place of the meeting of the arbitrators which will be in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where all proceedings will be conducted, and will be held as soon as conveniently possible (but in no event later than 45 days after the appointment of the third

arbitrator), at which time and place the Parties to the controversy will appear and be heard with respect to the right, claim or cause of action. In case the notified Party or Parties will fail to make a selection upon notice within the time period specified, the Party asserting such claim will appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the notified Party. In the event that the first two arbitrators selected will fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within 15 days after their selection, then such arbitrator may, upon application made by either of the Parties to the controversy, be appointed by any judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana.

(b) Each Party will present such testimony, examinations and investigations in accordance with such procedures and regulations as may be determined by the arbitrators and will also recommend to the arbitrators a monetary award to be adopted by the arbitrators as the complete disposition of such claim, right or cause of action. After hearing the Parties in regard to the matter in dispute, the arbitrators will make their determination with respect to such claim, right or cause of action, within 30 days of the completion of the examination, by majority decision signed in writing (together with a brief written statement of the reasons for adopting such recommendation), and will deliver such written determination to each of the Parties. The decision of said arbitrators, absent fraud, duress or manifest error, will be final and binding upon the Parties to such controversy and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators may consult with and engage disinterested third parties to advise the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall not award any punitive damages. If any of the arbitrators selected hereunder should die, resign or be unable to perform his or her duties hereunder, the remaining arbitrators or any judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana shall select a replacement arbitrator. The procedure set forth in this Section for selecting the arbitrators shall be followed from time to time as necessary. As to any claim, controversy, dispute or disagreement that under the terms hereof is made subject to arbitration, no lawsuit based on such matters shall be instituted by any of the Parties, other than to compel arbitration proceedings or enforce the award of a majority of the arbitrators. All privileges under Louisiana and federal law, including attorney-client and work-product privileges, shall be preserved and protected to the same extent that such privileges would be protected in a federal court proceeding applying Louisiana law.

(c) The Company shall be responsible for advancing the cost of the arbitrators as well as the other costs of the arbitration. Each Party will pay the fees and expenses of its own counsel.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 14, in the event that a Party against whom any claim, right or cause of action is asserted commences, or has commenced against it, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, the Party or Parties asserting such claim, right or cause of action will have no obligations under this Section 14 and may assert such claim, right or cause of action in the manner and forum it deems appropriate, subject to applicable laws. No determination or decision by the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 14 will limit or restrict the ability of any Party hereto to obtain or seek in any appropriate forum, any relief or remedy that is not a monetary award or money damages.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 14, if the Company is seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a dispute arising under or in connection with

Sections 10, 11, or 12, the arbitration requirements of this Section 14 shall not apply.

(f) Any court proceedings relating to this Agreement shall be filed exclusively in the federal and state courts domiciled in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the Parties hereto consent to the venue and jurisdiction of such courts.

Section 15. Indemnification.

(a) Company Indemnity. The Company agrees that if Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or resolutions of the Company’s Board or, if greater, by the laws of the State of Louisiana against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith, provided Executive provides Company with prompt notice of such action or threatened action. Such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, officer, employee or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses to be incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance. Such request shall include an undertaking by Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses. The provisions of this Section 15(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Executive may be entitled or which may be granted to him, and it shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification to which he may be entitled under any policy of insurance.

(b) No Presumption Regarding Standard of Conduct. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding concerning payment of amounts claimed by Executive under Section 15(a) above that indemnification of Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Executive has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 16. Excise Taxes. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, or any other agreement, plan or arrangement to the contrary, if any portion of the Contingent Payments made or to be made to the Executive would result in the imposition of an Excise Tax, then:

(i) if the After-Tax Proceeds With Gross-Up exceed the After-Tax Proceeds With Cut-Back, the Company shall pay to Executive an amount in cash equal to the Gross-Up Amount; or

(ii) if the After-Tax Proceeds With Cut-Back exceed the After-Tax Proceeds With Gross-Up, Executive shall not be paid the Gross-Up Amount and the aggregate amount of all payments to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement and all other agreements, plans and arrangements shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary so that the aggregate present value of such payments equals no more than 299% of Executive’s Base Amount.

(b) All determinations required under this Section 11 shall be made by the Company’s independent accountants or compensation consultants, after due consideration of Executive’s comments with respect to the interpretation hereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto, subject to a Final Determination.

“After-Tax Proceeds With Cut-Back” shall mean the fair market value of all Contingent Payments to Executive reduced to the minimum extent necessary so that the aggregate present value of such payments equals 299% of the Executive’s Base Amount, and reduced further by the aggregate amount of all Taxes which would be imposed on Executive with respect to such Contingent Payments. The amount of Taxes deemed imposed with respect to such Contingent Payments shall be determined as if all events that could give rise to a Tax with respect to such Contingent Payments had occurred.

“After-Tax Proceeds With Gross-Up” shall mean the fair market value of all Contingent Payments to the Executive plus the Gross-Up Amount, reduced by the aggregate amount of all Taxes which would be imposed on Executive with respect to such Contingent Payments. The amount of Taxes deemed imposed with respect to such Contingent Payments shall be determined as if all events that could give rise to a Tax with respect to such Contingent Payments had occurred.

“Base Amount” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or any successor provisions of law.

“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor provision of law.

“Contingent Payments” shall mean all payments in the nature of compensation payable to (or for the benefit of) Executive which would otherwise be treated as “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code) determined as if the thresholds set forth in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code were satisfied with respect to Executive.

“Excise Tax” shall mean any Tax imposed upon Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code.

“Final Determination” shall mean any final determination of liability that, under applicable law, is not subject to further appeal, review or modification through proceedings or otherwise, including but not limited to the expiration of a statute of limitations or a period for the filing of claims for refunds, amended returns or appeals from adverse determinations.

“Gross-Up Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the quotient equal to (A) the aggregate excise taxes which would be imposed on Executive under Section 4999 of the Code in connection with a Change in Control of the Company, determined without regard to the provisions of this Section 11, divided by (B) one minus the highest marginal income and excise Tax rate applicable to Executive for the calendar year in which occurred the Change in Control, determined as if all Contingent Payments were paid without regard to the provisions of this Section 16.

“Taxes” shall mean all federal, state and local income, employment and excise taxes (including Excise Taxes) imposed by any governmental authority.

Section 17. Effect of Agreement on Other Benefits. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the existence of this Agreement shall not be interpreted to preclude, prohibit or restrict Executive’s participation in any other employee benefit or other plans or programs in which he currently participates.

Section 18. Assignability: Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs (in the case of Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred in connection with a Change of Control of the Company, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and such assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. The Company further agrees that, in the event of a Change of Control, it shall take whatever action it legally can in order to cause such assignee or transferee to expressly assume the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company hereunder. No rights or obligations of Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Executive other than his rights to compensation and benefits, which may be transferred only by will or operation of law, except as provided in Section 24 below.

Section 19. Representation. The Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement and that the performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not violate any agreement between it and any other person, firm or organization. Executive hereby represents to the Company that he is physically and mentally capable of performing his duties hereunder and he has no knowledge of any present or past physical or mental conditions which would cause him not to be able to perform his duties hereunder.

Section 20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and, as of the Effective Date,

supersedes the Prior Agreement and any other agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect thereto, including, without limitation any prior change in control agreement between the Parties.

Section 21. Amendment or Waiver. No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. Except as set forth herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of or an acquiescence to any breach hereof. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Executive or an authorized officer of the Company, as the case may be.

Section 22. Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Specifically, but without limitation, the parties agree that if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses, sections, subdivisions, or subparagraphs contained in Sections 10, 11, or 12 is overly broad or unenforceable, then the Agreement should be reduced or amended to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowable under applicable law.

Section 23. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

Section 24. Beneficiaries/References.

Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative.

Section 25. Governing Law/Jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Louisiana without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Subject to Section 14, the Company and Executive hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any or all of the following courts for purposes of resolving any dispute under this Agreement: (i) the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana or (ii) the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana. The Company and Executive further agree that any service of process or notice requirements in any such proceeding shall be satisfied if the rules of such court relating thereto have been substantially satisfied. The Company and Executive

hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it or he may now or hereafter have to such jurisdiction and any defense of inconvenient forum.

Section 26. Notices.

Any notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing, and delivered or mailed, and if mailed, postage prepaid, certified, return receipt requested and addressed to the Company and to the Employee at the addresses set forth below, or such other addresses as the Parties may from time to time hereafter designate in writing, such notices to be effective upon receipt by the Party to whom such notice is addressed:
