Consulting Agreement Effective upon Executive's termination of employment for any reason other than Executive's termination prior to the end of the Basic Term by the Company for Cause, HC hereby retains Executive as a consultant (an independent contractor and not as an employee) for a period of three (3) years (the "Consulting Period"). Termination of the Basic Term shall not effect the Parties' rights and obligations under this Paragraph 6. Subject to the following, Executive agrees to provide, if requested, a minimum of 166 hours of service per year, or, as requested by the Company, up to a total of 500 hours during any one year of the Consulting Period; provided, however, that the total number of hours to be worked over the duration of the Consulting Period shall not exceed 500 hours (the "Consulting Services"). The Consulting Services to be provided shall be commensurate with Executive's training, background, experience and prior duties with the Company. Executive agrees to make himself reasonably available to provide such Consulting Services during the Consulting Period; provided, however, the Company agrees that it shall provide reasonable advance notice to Executive of its expected consulting needs and any request for Consulting Services hereunder shall not unreasonably interfere with Executive's other business activities and personal affairs as determined in good faith by Executive. In addition, Executive shall not be required to perform any requested Consulting Services which, in Executive's good faith opinion, would cause Executive to breach any fiduciary duty or contractual obligation Executive may have to another employer. Further, during the Consulting Period, Executive shall not be subject to any non-competition provisions except for the two-year period provided for in Paragraph 5(c). Unless waived by Executive, Executive shall not be required to perform Consulting Services for more than four (4) days during any week or for more than eight (8) hours during any day. Executive's travel time shall not constitute hours of Consulting Services for purposes of this Paragraph 6. The Parties contemplate that, when appropriate, the Consulting Services shall be performed at Executive's office, residence or at the Company's executive offices in Houston, Texas and may be performed at such other locations only as they may mutually agree upon. Executive shall be properly reimbursed for all travel and other expenses reasonably incurred by Executive in rendering the Consulting Services. HCC shall pay Executive $200,000 per year (the "Consulting Fee") during the Consulting Period, payable monthly in arrears. Executive may elect to delay payment for services but not the services themselves. Except as set forth below and in Paragraphs 4(c) or 4(d) hereof, if Executive fails to provide the hours requested by the Company in any 24-month period, Executive's rights to receive any further Consulting Fee shall immediately terminate. During the Consulting Period, Executive shall receive no employment benefits from HCC. If Executive dies or becomes Disabled during the Basic Term (or as an employee of the Company following the Basic Term) or during the Consulting Period he (or, on his death, his beneficiary or estate) shall receive or continue to receive as the case may be the Consulting Fee during the remainder of the Consulting Period as if such death or Disability had not occurred.
