The parties agree that this Agreement shall not be considered an employment agreement and that Executive is an "at will" employee of the Company. (B) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and Executive prior to the termination of Executive's employment, any termination of Executive's employment shall constitute an automatic resignation of Executive as an officer of the Company and each affiliate of the Company, and an automatic resignation of Executive from the Board and the board of directors of the Company (if applicable) and from the board of directors or similar governing body of any affiliate of the Company and from the board of directors or similar governing
5 Active 17097592.5 body of any corporation, limited liability entity or other entity in which the Company or any affiliate holds an equity interest and with respect to which board or similar governing body Executive serves as the Company's or such affiliate's designee or other representative. 4.

(B) Notwithstanding anything in any Company stock plan or grant agreement to the contrary, all restricted shares, restricted stock units, phantom stock units or any other equity based award of Executive shall, to the extent such awards would have vested in accordance with their terms had Executive remained employed for the 12- month period following the Date of Termination, become vested and restrictions thereon shall lapse as of the expiration of the Release Period, and the Company shall promptly deliver such shares to Executive. 5. Change of Control Severance Benefits Subject to Section 13, if either (a) Executive terminates his employment during the Protected Period for a Good Reason event or (b) the Company terminates Executive's employment during the Protected Period other than for Cause, Executive shall receive, the following compensation and benefits from the Company: (A) Within 15 days of the expiration of the Release Period, the Company shall pay to Executive in a lump sum, in cash, an amount equal to two times the sum of Executive's (i) Termination Base Salary and (ii) Target AICP. (B) Notwithstanding anything in any Company stock plan or grant agreement to the contrary, (i) all restricted shares, restricted stock units, phantom stock units and any other equity based award of Executive shall become 100% vested and all restrictions thereon shall lapse as of the expiration of the Release Period, and the Company shall promptly deliver such shares (or cash in lieu of shares in the case of phantom stock unit awards) to Executive and (ii) each then outstanding stock option of Executive shall become 100% exercisable as of the expiration of the Release Period and shall remain exercisable for 90 days following the lapse of the Release Period. (C) For the period beginning on the date of termination of Executive's employment with the Company and ending on December 31 of the second calendar year following the calendar year which includes the date of termination, or until

Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise nor, except as provided in Section 4C and Section SD shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned or benefit received by Executive as the result of employment by another employer or self-employment, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by Executive to the Company or otherwise. Executive shall not be entitled to receive any severance payments or benefits pursuant to any Company severance plan or program for employees in general. 7. Successor Agreement. 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 if no succession had taken place. Failure of the successor to so assume shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and entitle Executive to the benefits hereunder as if triggered by a termination by the Company other than for Cause. 8. Indemnity. In any situation where under applicable law the Company has the power to indemnify, advance expenses to and defend Executive in respect of any judgments, fines, settlements, loss, cost or expense (including attorneys fees) of any nature related to or arising out of Executive's activities as an agent, employee, officer or director of the Company or in any other capacity on behalf of or at the request of the Company, then the Company shall promptly on written request, indemnify Executive, advance expenses (including attorney's fees) to Executive and defend Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to making such findings and determinations and taking any and all such actions as the Company may, under applicable law, be permitted to have the discretion to take so as to effectuate such indemnification, advancement or defense. Such agreement by the Company shall not be deemed to impair any other obligation of the Company respecting Executive's indemnification or defense otherwise arising out of this or any other agreement or promise of the Company under any statute. 9.

Subject to the Company's right to seek equitable or injunctive relief pursuant to Section 14, the parties agree to resolve any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to the consequences of any termination of employment of Executive, by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act before one arbitrator in Houston, Texas, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne solely by the non-prevailing party or, in the event there is no clear prevailing party, as the arbitrator deems appropriate. Except as provided above, each party shall pay its own costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) relating to any mediation/arbitration proceeding conducted under this Section 12. 11. Waiver and Release. As a condition to the receipt of any payment or benefit as a severance payment under Section 4 or 5 of this Agreement, Executive must first execute and deliver to the Company a binding general release, as prepared by the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, that releases the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates from any and all claims and from any and all causes of action of any kind or character that Executive may have arising out of Executive's employment with the Company or the termination of such employment, but excluding (i) any claims and causes of action that Executive may have arising under or based upon this Agreement, and (ii) any vested rights Executive may have under any employee benefit plan or deferred compensation plan or program of the Company.

8 Active 17097592.5 During Executive's employment with the Company, the Company shall give Executive access to some or all of its Confidential Information, as defined below, that Executive has not had access to or knowledge of before the execution of this Agreement. (A) Non-Competition. Executive agrees that, in consideration for the Company's promise to provide Executive with Confidential Information, during the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months following any termination of employment (the "Restricted Period''), he will not either directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, invest in, hold shares or any other equity interest in, lend to, serve as a consultant to, be employed by, participate in, be a director, officer, trustee or be connected, in any manner, with the ownership, management, operation or control of any business that directly or indirectly in whole or in part engages in the business of (i) the design, manufacture, sale and/or lease of mobile or modular buildings, or (ii) providing remote site, workforce accommodations or associated facility management services, catering, water and wastewater treatment, commercial laundry or personnel logistics in New South Wales, Queensland or Western Australia; provided, however, Executive shall not be prevented from owning no more than 2% of any company whose stock is publicly traded or in any company where such ownership is expressly disclosed to the Company by Executive prior to execution of this Agreement. Executive agrees that, in order to protect the Company's Confidential Information, it is necessary to enter into this restrictive covenant, which is ancillary to the enforceable promises between the Company and Executive otherwise contained in this Agreement. (B) Confidential Information. Executive agrees that he will not, except as the Company may otherwise consent or direct in writing, reveal or disclose, sell, use, lecture upon, publish or otherwise disclose to any third party any Confidential Information or proprietary information of the Company, or authorize anyone else to do these things at any time either during or subsequent to his employment with the Company. This subsection shall continue in full force and effect after termination of Executive's employment and after the termination of this Agreement. Executive's obligations under this subsection with respect to any specific Confidential Information and proprietary information shall cease when that specific portion of the Confidential Information and proprietary information becomes publicly known, in its entirety and without combining portions of such information obtained separately. It is understood that such Confidential Information and proprietary information of the Company include matters that Executive conceives or develops, as well as matters Executive learns from other employees of the Company. "Confidential Information" is defined to include information: (1) disclosed to or known by Executive as a consequence of or through his employment with the Company; (2) not generally known outside the Company; and (3) that relates to any aspect of the Company or its business, finances, operation plans, budgets, research, or strategic development. "Confidential Information" includes, but is not limited to, the Company's trade secrets, proprietary information, financial documents, long range plans, customer or supplier lists, employer compensation, marketing strategy, data bases, costing data, computer software developed by the Company, investments made by the
9 Active 17097592.5 Company, and any information provided to the Company by a third party under restrictions against disclosure or use by the Company or others. (C) Non-Solicitation. To protect the Company's Confidential Information, and in the event of Executive's termination of employment for any reason whatsoever, whether by Executive or the Company, it is necessary to enter into the following restrictive covenant, which is ancillary to the enforceable promises between the Company and Executive otherwise contained in this Agreement. Executive covenants and agrees that during Restrictive Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, either individually or as a principal, partner, agent, consultant, contractor, employee or as a director or officer of any corporation or association, or in any other manner or capacity whatsoever, except on behalf of the Company, solicit business, or attempt to solicit business, and products or services competitive with products or services sold by the Company, from the Company's clients, suppliers or customers, or those individuals or entities with whom the Company did business during Executive's employment. Executive further agrees that during Executive's employment and for the Non-Solicitation Period, Executive will not, except on behalf of the Company, either directly or indirectly, or by acting in concert with others, solicit or influence any Company employee to leave the Company's employment. (D) Return of Documents, Equipment, Etc. All writings, records, and other documents and things comprising, containing, describing, discussing, explaining, or evidencing any Confidential Information, and all equipment, components, parts, tools, and the like in Executive's custody or possession that have been obtained or prepared in the course of Executive's employment with the Company shall be the exclusive property of the Company, shall not be copied and/or removed from the premises of the Company, except in pursuit of the business of the Company, and shall be delivered to the Company, without Executive retaining any copies, upon notification of the termination of Executive's employment or at any other time requested by the Company. The Company shall have the right to retain, access, and inspect all property of Executive of any kind in the office, work area, and on the premises of the Company upon termination of Executive's employment and at any time during employment by the Company to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement. (E) No Previous Restrictive Agreements. Executive represents that, except as disclosed in writing to the Company, Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information in the course of Executive's employment by the Company or to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. Executive further represents that Executive's performance of all the terms of this Agreement and Executive's work duties for the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to Executive's employment with the Company, and Executive will not disclose to
10 Active 17097592.5 the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or other party. (F) Breach. Executive and the Company agree and acknowledge that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in Section 14 hereof are reasonable and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. Executive and the Company also acknowledge that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 14 by Executive, and the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 14 by specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Section 14 but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Executive and Executive's agents and/or any termination or offset against any payments that may be due pursuant to this Agreement. (G) Enforceability. The agreements contained in this Section 14 are independent of the other agreements contained herein. Accordingly, failure of the Company to comply with any of its obligations outside of this Section does not excuse Executive from complying with the agreements contained herein. (H) Survivability. The agreements contained in this Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. (I) Reformation. The Company and Executive agree that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable under the circumstances and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 14 would cause irreparable injury to the Company. Executive expressly represents that enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 14 will not impose an undue hardship upon Executive or any person affiliated with Executive. Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit Executive's ability to engage in certain businesses during the Restricted Period, but acknowledges that Executive will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits from the Company to justify such restriction. Further, Executive acknowledges that Executive's skills are such that Executive can be gainfully employed in non-competitive employment, and that the agreement not to compete will not prevent Executive from earning a living. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced. By agreeing to this contractual modification prospectively at this time, the Company and Executive intend to make this provision enforceable under the law or laws of all applicable jurisdictions so that the entire agreement not to compete and this Agreement as prospectively modified shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be rendered void or illegal.
11 Active 17097592.5 13. Employment with Affiliates. Employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement includes employment with any entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect ownership interest of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all outstanding equity interests, and employment with any entity which has a direct or indirect interest of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all outstanding equity interests of the Company. 14. Governing Law. (A) THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. (B) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS IN XXXXXX COUNTY, TEXAS, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. 15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is an integration of the parties' agreement and no agreement or representatives, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. This Agreement hereby expressly terminates, rescinds and replaces in full any prior agreement (written or oral) between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. 16. Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall withhold from all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement all taxes required to be withheld by applicable law. 17. Beneficiary. In the event Executive dies before receiving the lump sum severance payment to which Executive was entitled hereunder, Executive's spouse or, if there is no spouse, the beneficiary designated by Executive shall receive such payment.
