                         EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Executive Employment Agreement,  including Exhibits A and B hereto
("Agreement"), is entered into by and between Halliburton Company ("Employer" or
"Halliburton") and C. Christopher Gaut ("Employee"), to be effective on March 3,
2003 (the "Effective Date").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS,  Employer is desirous of  employing  Employee  pursuant to the
terms and conditions and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement,  and
Employee is desirous of entering  the employ of Employer  pursuant to such terms
and conditions and for such consideration.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  for  and in  consideration  of the  mutual  promises,
covenants,  and  obligations  contained  herein,  Employer and Employee agree as
follows:

ARTICLE 1:  EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES:

         1.1.  Employer  agrees to employ  Employee,  and Employee  agrees to be
employed by Employer,  beginning as of the Effective Date and  continuing  until
the date of termination of Employee's  employment  pursuant to the provisions of
Article 3 (the "Term"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

         1.2.  Beginning as of the Effective Date, Employee shall be employed as
an  Executive  Vice  President  of  Employer.  Employee  agrees  to serve in the
assigned position or in such other executive capacities as may be requested from
time to time by Employer and to perform diligently and to the best of Employee's
abilities  the duties and services  appertaining  to such position as reasonably
determined  by Employer,  as well as such  additional  or  different  duties and
services  appropriate to such positions  which Employee from time to time may be
reasonably directed to perform by Employer.

         1.3.  Employee  shall at all times  comply  with and be subject to such
policies  and  procedures  as  Halliburton  may  establish  from  time to  time,
including,  without limitation, the Halliburton Company Code of Business Conduct
(the "Code of Business Conduct").

         1.4.  Employee  shall,  during the period of  Employee's  employment by
Employer,  devote Employee's full business time, energy, and best efforts to the
business  and  affairs  of  Employer.  Employee  may  not  engage,  directly  or
indirectly, in any other business,  investment, or activity that interferes with
Employee's  performance  of  Employee's  duties  hereunder,  is  contrary to the
interest of  Employer  or any of its  affiliated  companies  (collectively,  the
"Halliburton  Entities" or, individually,  a "Halliburton  Entity"), or requires
any   significant   portion  of   Employee's   business   time.   The  foregoing
notwithstanding,  the parties  recognize  and agree that  Employee may engage in
passive personal investments and other business activities which do not conflict
with the business  and affairs of the  Halliburton  Entities or  interfere  with
Employee's  performance of his duties  hereunder.  Employee may not serve on the
board of directors of any entity other than a Halliburton Entity during the Term
without  the  approval  thereof  in  accordance  with  Employer's  policies  and
procedures  regarding  such service.  Employee  shall be permitted to retain any
compensation  received for approved  service on any  unaffiliated  corporation's
board of directors.

<PAGE>

         1.5.  Employee  acknowledges  and agrees that Employee owes a fiduciary
duty of  loyalty,  fidelity  and  allegiance  to act at all  times  in the  best
interests of the Employer  and the other  Halliburton  Entities and to do no act
which  would,  directly  or  indirectly,  injure  any  such  entity's  business,
interests, or reputation.  It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest in,
connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial
activities,  which interest might in any way adversely affect  Employer,  or any
Halliburton  Entity,  involves a possible conflict of interest.  In keeping with
Employee's fiduciary duties to Employer, Employee agrees that Employee shall not
knowingly  become  involved  in a conflict  of  interest  with  Employer  or the
Halliburton  Entities,  or upon  discovery  thereof,  allow such a  conflict  to
continue. Moreover, Employee shall not engage in any activity that might involve
a possible  conflict of interest without first obtaining  approval in accordance
with Halliburton's policies and procedures.

         1.6   Nothing contained  herein  shall be  construed  to  preclude  the
transfer of Employee's  employment to another  Halliburton  Entity  ("Subsequent
Employer") as of, or at any time after,  the Effective Date and no such transfer
shall be deemed to be a  termination  of  employment  for  purposes of Article 3
hereof; provided, however, that, effective with such transfer, all of Employer's
obligations  hereunder  shall be  assumed  by and be  binding  upon,  and all of
Employer's  rights hereunder shall be assigned to, such Subsequent  Employer and
the defined term "Employer" as used herein shall thereafter be deemed amended to
mean such Subsequent  Employer.  Except as otherwise  provided above, all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Employee's
rights and  obligations,  shall remain in full force and effect  following  such
transfer of employment.

ARTICLE 2:  COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

         2.1.  Employee's  base salary shall not be less than $500,000 per annum
which shall be paid in accordance with the Employer's  standard payroll practice
for its executives.  The parties further agree that Employee's election as Chief
Financial  Officer  of the  Company  shall  be  effective  on  March  15,  2003.
Employee's  base salary may  thereafter be increased  from time to time with the
approval of the Compensation  Committee of Halliburton's Board of Directors (the
"Compensation  Committee") or its delegate,  as applicable.  Such increased base
salary shall become the minimum base salary under this  Agreement and may not be
decreased thereafter without the written consent of Employee.

         2.2   Employer shall grant to Employee  a one-time  signing bonus which
is stated in,  and  shall be  governed  by, the terms specified in the offer of
employment letter dated January 28, 2003.

         2.3.  During the Term,  Employee shall  participate in the  Halliburton
Annual  Performance Pay Plan, or any successor annual incentive plan approved by
the Compensation Committee;  provided, however, that all determinations relating
to Employee's participation,  including,  without limitation,  those relating to
the  performance   goals   applicable  to  Employee  and  Employee's   level  of
participation  and payout  opportunity,  shall be made in the sole discretion of
the person or committee to whom such authority has been granted pursuant to such
plan's terms.

restrictions  and other  terms and  conditions  set forth in  Exhibit B attached
hereto, and forming as part of, this Agreement.

         2.6.  During the Term,  Employee shall  participate in the  Performance
Unit  Program  under  the  1993  Plan,  or  any  successor  long-term  incentive
compensation  plan;  provided,  however,  that all  determinations  relating  to
Employee's participation,  including,  without limitation, those relating to the
performance  goals  applicable to Employee and Employee's level of participation
and payout  opportunity,  shall be made in the sole  discretion of the person or
committee to whom such authority has been granted under such program's terms.

         2.7.  During the Term, Employer shall pay or reimburse Employee for all
actual,  reasonable and customary expenses incurred by Employee in the course of
his  employment;   including,   but  not  limited  to,  travel,   entertainment,
subscriptions  and dues associated with Employee's  membership in  professional,
business and civic  organizations;  provided that such expenses are incurred and
accounted for in accordance with Employer's applicable policies and procedures.

         2.8.  While  employed  by  Employer,   Employee  shall  be  allowed  to
participate,  on the same  basis  generally  as  other  executive  employees  of
Employer,  in  all  general  employee  benefit  plans  and  programs,  including
improvements  or  modifications  of the  same,  which on the  Effective  Date or
thereafter  are  made  available  by  Employer  to all or  substantially  all of
Employer's  similarly situated executive  employees.  Such benefits,  plans, and
programs may include, without limitation, medical, health, and dental care, life
insurance,  disability  protection,  and qualified and non-qualified  retirement
plans. Except as specifically  provided herein,  nothing in this Agreement is to
be  construed  or  interpreted  to  increase  or  alter  in any way the  rights,
participation,  coverage,  or benefits under such benefit plans or programs than
provided to similarly  situated  executive  employees  pursuant to the terms and
conditions  of such  benefit  plans and  programs.  While  employed by Employer,
Employee  shall be  eligible  to  receive  awards  under  the  1993  Plan or any
successor  stock-related  plan  adopted  by  Halliburton's  Board of  Directors;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed as a guarantee with
respect to the type,  amount or frequency of such awards, if any, such decisions
being  solely  within  the  discretion  of  the  Compensation  Committee  or its
delegate, as applicable.

         2.9.  Employer  shall not, by reason of this Article 2, be obligated to
institute,  maintain, or refrain from changing,  amending or discontinuing,  any
incentive  compensation,  employee  benefit or stock or stock option  program or
plan,  so long as such actions are  similarly  applicable  to covered  employees
generally.

ARTICLE 3:  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND EFFECTS OF SUCH TERMINATION:

         In the  event  Employee's  employment  is  terminated  under any of the
foregoing circumstances,  all future compensation to which Employee is otherwise
entitled and all future  benefits for which Employee is eligible shall cease and
terminate as of the date of termination, except as specifically provided in this
Section 3.2.  Employee,  or his estate in the case of Employee's death, shall be
entitled to pro rata base salary through the date of such  termination and shall
be  entitled  to  any  individual   bonuses  or  individual   annual   incentive
compensation  not yet paid but payable under Employer's plans for the year prior
to the year of Employee's  termination of employment,  but shall not be entitled
to any  annual  bonus  or  incentive  compensation  for  the  year in  which  he
terminates  employment  or any other  payments  or  benefits  by or on behalf of
Employer  except  for  those  which  may be  payable  pursuant  to the  terms of
Employer's or Halliburton's  employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3.4),
stock, stock option or incentive plans, or the applicable  agreements underlying
such plans.

         3.3   If Employee's  employment  is  terminated  by  Employee for Good

Employee shall be entitled to each of the following:

         (i)   To  the  extent  not  otherwise   specifically  provided  in  any
               underlying  restricted  stock  agreements,  Halliburton,  at  its
               option and in  its sole  discretion,  shall  either (a) cause all
               shares of Halliburton common stock previously granted to Employee
               under the 1993 Plan, and any similar plan adopted by  Halliburton
               in the future,  which  at the  date of termination  of employment
               are  subject  to  restrictions  (the  "Restricted  Shares") to be
               forfeited, in which case,  Employer  will pay Employee a lump sum
               cash payment  equal to the value of the  Restricted Shares (based
               on the closing  price of Halliburton common stock on the New York
               Stock  Exchange on the date of  termination  of  employment);  or
               (b)  cause  the  forfeiture  restrictions  with  respect  to  the
               Restricted Shares to lapse and such shares  shall be retained  by
               Employee.

         (ii)  Subject  to  the  provisions of Section 3.4,  Employer shall  pay
               to  Employee a  severance  benefit  consisting  of a  single lump
               sum  cash payment equal  to two  years' of Employee's base salary
               as   in   effect  at  the  date  of  Employee's   termination  of
               employment.  Such severance   benefit shall be paid no later than
               sixty (60) days following Employee's termination of employment.

         (iii) Employee  shall   be  entitled  to  any   individual  bonuses  or
               individual  incentive  compensation  not  yet  paid  but  payable
               under Employer's  or Halliburton's plans  for years  prior to the
               year  of Employee's termination of employment.  Such  amounts, if
               any,  shall  be paid  according  to the terms and  conditions set
               forth in the applicable plan document.

                                       5
<PAGE>

         (iv)  Employee   shall  be  entitled  to  any   individual  bonuses  or
               individual    incentive   compensation   under    Employer's   or
               Halliburton's   plans,  or   any   successor   annual   incentive
               compensation  plan, for  the year  of  Employee's  termination of
               employment  determined as  if Employee had  remained employed  by
               the Employer  for the entire year.  Such  amounts  shall  be paid
               to  Employee  at  the  time   that  such  amounts  are   paid  to
               similarly situated employees.

         3.4.  The  severance benefit paid  to Employee pursuant to  Section 3.3
shall be in consideration of Employee's  continuing  obligations hereunder after
such termination,  including,  without limitation,  Employee's obligations under
Article 4.  Further,  as a condition to the receipt of such  severance  benefit,
Employer,  in its sole  discretion,  may  require  Employee  to first  execute a
release,  in the form established by Employer,  releasing Employer and all other
Halliburton Entities, and their officers, directors, employees, and agents, from
any and all  claims  and  from  any and all  causes  of  action  of any  kind or
character,  including,  but not  limited  to,  all  claims  and causes of action
arising out of Employee's  employment  with  Employer and any other  Halliburton
Entities or the  termination of such  employment.  The performance of Employer's
obligations  under Section 3.3 and the receipt of the severance benefit provided
thereunder by Employee shall  constitute  full settlement of all such claims and
causes of action.  Employee shall not be under any duty or obligation to seek or
accept other employment  following a termination of employment pursuant to which
a  severance  benefit  payment  under  Section  3.3 is owing and the amounts due
Employee  pursuant to Section 3.3 shall not be reduced or  suspended if Employee
accepts   subsequent   employment  or  earns  any  amounts  as  a  self-employed
individual.  Employee's  rights  under  Section  3.3  are  Employee's  sole  and
exclusive  rights against the Employer or its affiliates and the Employer's sole
and exclusive liability to Employee under this Agreement,  in contract,  tort or
otherwise,  for the  termination of his employment  relationship  with Employer.
Employee  agrees  that  all  disputes  relating  to  Employee's  termination  of
employment,  including,  without  limitation,  any  dispute  as  to  "Cause"  or
"Voluntary  Termination"  and any claims or demands against  Employer based upon
Employee's  employment for any monies other than those specified in Section 3.3,
shall be resolved through the Halliburton Dispute Resolution Plan as provided in
Section 5.6 hereof;  provided,  however,  that  decisions as to whether  "Cause"
exists for termination of the employment  relationship with Employee and whether
and as of what date  Employee has become  permanently  disabled are delegated to
the Compensation  Committee for  determination  and any dispute of Employee with
any such decision shall be limited to whether the Compensation Committee reached
such  decision  in good  faith.  Nothing  contained  in this  Article 3 shall be
construed to be a waiver by Employee of any benefits accrued for or due Employee
under any  employee  benefit  plan (as such term is  defined  in the  Employees'
Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974,  as amended)  maintained  by Employer
except that Employee shall not be entitled to any severance benefits pursuant to
any severance plan or program of the Employer.

         3.5.  Termination of  the employment  relationship does  not  terminate
those  obligations  imposed by this Agreement which are continuing  obligations,
including, without limitation, Employee's obligations under Article 4.

ARTICLE 4:  OWNERSHIP AND  PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY AND CONFIDENTIAL
            INFORMATION:

         4.1.  All information, ideas, concepts, improvements,  discoveries, and
inventions,  whether patentable or not, which are conceived,  made, developed or
acquired  by  Employee,  individually  or in  conjunction  with  others,  during
Employee's  employment  by Employer  or any of its  affiliates  (whether  during
business  hours or otherwise  and whether on  Employer's  premises or otherwise)
which relate to the business, products or services of Employer or its affiliates
(including,  without  limitation,  all such  information  relating to  corporate
opportunities,  research,  financial and sales data,  pricing and trading terms,
evaluations, opinions,  interpretations,  acquisition prospects, the identity of
customers  or their  requirements,  the  identity  of key  contacts  within  the
customer's organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or
marketing and merchandising  techniques,  prospective names, and marks), and all
writings or materials of any type embodying any of such items, shall be the sole
and exclusive property of Employer or its affiliates, as the case may be.

         4.2.  Employee  acknowledges  that the  businesses  of Employer and its
affiliates are highly  competitive and that their  strategies,  methods,  books,
records, and documents,  their technical information  concerning their products,
equipment,   services,   and  processes,   procurement  procedures  and  pricing
techniques,  the names of and other  information  (such as credit and  financial
data)  concerning  their  customers  and  business   affiliates,   all  comprise
confidential business information and trade secrets which are valuable, special,
and unique  assets which  Employer or its  affiliates  use in their  business to
obtain  a  competitive  advantage  over  their  competitors.   Employee  further
acknowledges that protection of such confidential business information and trade
secrets  against  unauthorized  disclosure and use is of critical  importance to
Employer and its affiliates in maintaining their competitive position.  Employee
hereby agrees that Employee will not, at any time during or after his employment
by Employer,  make any  unauthorized  disclosure  of any  confidential  business
information  or trade  secrets of  Employer or its  affiliates,  or make any use
thereof,  except  in  the  carrying  out  of  his  employment   responsibilities
hereunder.  Confidential  business  information shall not include information in
the  public  domain  (but only if the same  becomes  part of the  public  domain
through  a means  other  than a  disclosure  prohibited  hereunder).  The  above
notwithstanding, a disclosure shall not be unauthorized if (i) it is required by
law or by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) it is in connection with any
judicial,  arbitration,  dispute  resolution or other legal  proceeding in which
Employee's  legal rights and  obligations as an employee or under this Agreement
are at issue; provided,  however, that Employee shall, to the extent practicable
and lawful in any such  events,  give prior  notice to Employer of his intent to
disclose any such  confidential  business  information  in such context so as to
allow Employer or its affiliates an opportunity (which Employee will not oppose)
to obtain such  protective  orders or similar relief with respect thereto as may
be deemed appropriate.

         4.3.  All written  materials, records,  and other documents made by, or
coming  into the  possession  of,  Employee  during  the  period  of  Employee's
employment  by  Employer  which  contain  or  disclose   confidential   business
information or trade secrets of Employer or its  affiliates  shall be and remain
the  property  of  Employer,  or  its  affiliates,  as the  case  may  be.  Upon
termination  of  Employee's  employment  by Employer,  for any reason,  Employee
promptly shall deliver the same, and all copies thereof, to Employer.

                                       7

         If to Employee, to his last known personal residence.

         5.3.  This Agreement shall be  governed by and  construed and enforced,
in all respects in accordance with the law of the State of Texas, without regard
to  principles  of conflicts of law,  unless  preempted by federal law, in which
case federal law shall govern;  provided,  however, that the Halliburton Dispute
Resolution  Plan and the Federal  Arbitration  Act shall  govern in all respects
with regard to the resolution of disputes hereunder.

         5.4.  No failure by either  party  hereto at any time to give notice of
any breach by the other party of, or to require  compliance  with, any condition
or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar

         5.5.  It is a  desire  and  intent  of  the  parties  that  the  terms,
provisions,  covenants,  and  remedies  contained  in this  Agreement  shall  be
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any such term, provision,
covenant,  or remedy of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person,
association, or entity or circumstances shall, to any extent, be construed to be
invalid  or  unenforceable  in whole  or in part,  then  such  term,  provision,
covenant,  or  remedy  shall  be  construed  in a  manner  so as to  permit  its
enforceability  under the applicable law to the fullest extent permitted by law.
In any case,  the  remaining  provisions  of this  Agreement or the  application
thereof to any person,  association, or entity or circumstances other than those
to which they have been held  invalid  or  unenforceable,  shall  remain in full
force and effect.

         5.6.  It is the mutual  intention  of the  parties to have any  dispute
concerning this Agreement resolved out of court. Accordingly,  the parties agree
that any such dispute shall, as the sole and exclusive  remedy, be submitted for

that the  Employer,  on its own behalf  and on behalf of any of the  Halliburton
Entities,  shall be entitled to seek a  restraining  order or  injunction in any
court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any breach or the continuation of any
breach of the  provisions  of Article 4 and Employee  hereby  consents that such
restraining  order or  injunction  may be granted  without the  necessity of the
Employer  posting any bond.  The parties  agree that the  resolution of any such
dispute through such Plan shall be final and binding.  A copy of the Halliburton
Dispute  Resolution Plan, as currently in effect,  is attached to this Agreement
for information  purposes.  Halliburton reserves the right to amend such Plan or
discontinue such Plan at any time.

         5.7.  This  Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Employer,  to the extent  herein  provided,  Halliburton  and any other  person,
association,  or  entity  which  may  hereafter  acquire  or  succeed  to all or
substantially  all of the  business or assets of  Employer by any means  whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise. Employee's
rights and  obligations  under this  Agreement  are  personal  and such  rights,
benefits,  and obligations of Employee shall not be voluntarily or involuntarily
assigned,  alienated, or transferred,  whether by operation of law or otherwise,
without the prior written  consent of Employer,  other than in the case of death
or incompetence of Employee.

         5.8.  This  Agreement replaces and merges any previous  agreements  and
discussions  pertaining to the subject  matter  covered  herein.  This Agreement
constitutes  the entire  agreement  of the  parties  with regard to the terms of
Employee's  employment,  termination of employment and severance  benefits,  and
contains  all of  the  covenants,  promises,  representations,  warranties,  and
agreements between the parties with respect to such matters.  Each party to this
Agreement   acknowledges  that  no  representation,   inducement,   promise,  or
agreement,  oral or written,  has been made by either  party with respect to the
foregoing  matters  which  is  not  embodied  herein,  and  that  no  agreement,
statement, or promise relating to the employment of Employee by Employer that is
not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding.  Any  modification of
this  Agreement  will be  effective  only if it is in writing and signed by each
party whose  rights  hereunder  are  affected  thereby,  provided  that any such
modification must be authorized or approved by the Compensation Committee or its
delegate, as appropriate.

         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  Employer and  Employee  have duly  executed  this
Agreement in multiple originals to be effective on the Effective Date.

                       NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

         AGREEMENT made as of the 3rd day of March,  2003,  between  HALLIBURTON
COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Employee.

         To carry out the  purposes of the  HALLIBURTON  COMPANY  1993 STOCK AND
LONG-TERM  INCENTIVE  PLAN,  or any successor  plan (the  "Plan"),  by affording
Employee the opportunity to purchase shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per
share, of the Company  ("Stock"),  and in consideration of the mutual agreements
and other  matters set forth  herein and in the Plan,  the Company and  Employee
hereby agree as follows:

         1. Grant of Option.  The Company hereby  irrevocably grants to Employee
the right and option  ("Option")  to  purchase  all or any part of the number of
shares of Stock,  on the terms and  conditions set forth herein and in the Plan,
which Plan is incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Agreement. This
Option shall not be treated as an incentive  stock option  within the meaning of
section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

         2. Purchase Price.  The purchase price of Stock  purchased  pursuant to
the  exercise  of this  Option  shall  be  $        per  share,  which  has been
                                            -------
determined to be not less than the fair market value of the Stock at the date of
grant of this Option.  For all purposes of this Agreement,  fair market value of
Stock shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

         3. Exercise of Option. Subject to the earlier expiration of this Option
as herein  provided,  this  Option may be  exercised,  by written  notice to the
Company at its principal executive office addressed to the attention of its Vice
President  and  Secretary,  at any time and from time to time  after the date of
grant hereof,  but, except as otherwise provided below, this Option shall not be
exercisable for more than a percentage of the aggregate number of shares offered
by this  Option  determined  by the  number of full years from the date of grant
hereof to the date of such exercise, in accordance with the following schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                              Percentage of Shares
         Number of Full Years                 That May be Purchased
         --------------------                 ---------------------
         <S>                                  <C>
         Less than      1 year                             0%
                        1 year                        33-1/3%
                        2 years                           67%
                        3 years                          100%
</TABLE>
         This Option is not  transferable  otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a "qualified  domestic  relations order"
as defined by the Code.  The foregoing  notwithstanding,  while  employed by the
Company, Employee may,  in Employee's sole  discretion but subject to compliance

<PAGE>

with such rules and  procedures  as the Company  may  establish,  transfer  this
Option (or a portion  thereof) to Employee's  spouse,  children or grandchildren
(including adopted and step children and grandchildren) ("Immediate Family"), to
a trust solely for the benefit of Employee and members of  Employee's  Immediate
Family,  or to a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or
shareholders are Employee and members of Employee's Immediate Family. Employee's
rights under this Agreement shall pass to the transferee and such transferee may
exercise this Option (or such portion thereof as has been  transferred)  and all
rights granted by this Agreement to the extent Employee was entitled to exercise
this Option during Employee's lifetime,  or in the event of Employee's death, to
the extent this Option would have been  exercisable by Employee's  beneficiaries
or heirs had this Option not been transferred  prior to death.  Upon any attempt
to transfer,  assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Option or
of such rights  contrary to the  provisions  hereof or in the Plan,  or upon the
levy of any attachment or similar process upon this Option or such rights,  this
Option and such rights shall immediately become null and void.

         Except  as  provided  above,   this  Option  may  be  exercised  during
Employee's   lifetime   only  by   Employee,   Employee's   guardian   or  legal
representative or a transferee under a qualified  domestic relations order. This
Option may be exercised only while Employee  remains an employee of the Company,
subject to the following exceptions:

                  (a) If Employee's  employment  with the Company  terminates by
         reason of disability  (disability  being defined as being physically or
         mentally  incapable of performing either the Employee's usual duties as
         an  Employee  or any  other  duties  as an  Employee  that the  Company
         reasonably  makes  available  and such  condition  is  likely to remain
         continuously and permanently, as determined by the Company or employing
         subsidiary),  this  Option may be  exercised  in full by  Employee  (or
         Employee's estate or the person who acquires this Option by will or the
         laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of
         Employee)  at any time  during the period  ending on the earlier of the
         Expiration  Date (as defined  below) or the third  anniversary  of such
         termination date.

                  (b) If  Employee  dies  while in the  employ  of the  Company,
         Employee's  estate,  or the person who acquires  this Option by will or
         the laws of descent  and  distribution  or  otherwise  by reason of the
         death of Employee,  may exercise this Option in full at any time during
         the period  ending on the earlier of the  Expiration  Date or the third
         anniversary of the date of Employee's death.

                  (c) If Employee's  employment  with the Company  terminates by
         reason of normal  retirement  at or after age 65,  this  Option  may be
         exercised  by  Employee  at any time  during the  period  ending on the
         Expiration  Date,  but only as to the  number  of shares  Employee  was
         entitled to purchase on the date of such  exercise in  accordance  with
         the schedule set forth above.  In connection  with the  termination  of
         Employee's  employment with the Company by reason of early  retirement,
         applicable management of the Company and/or business unit may recommend
         to the Committee or its delegate,  as  applicable,  that this Option be
         retained.  In such event,  the Committee  or its  delegete, as the case

<PAGE>

         may be, shall consider such recommendation and may, in the  Committee's
         or such delegate's  sole  discretion,  approve  the  retention  of this
         Option following  such  early  retirement,  in which  case  the  Option
         may be exercised  by  Employee  at any time  during the  period  ending
         on the Expiration Date,  but only as to the  number of shares  Employee
         was  entitled to purchase on the  date of such  exercise in  accordance
         with the schedule  set forth above.  If, after retirement  as set forth
         above, Employee  should die,  this Option  may be exercised  in full by
         Employee's estate (or the  person who  acquires  this Option by will or
         the  laws of descent and  distribution  or  otherwise  by reason of the
         death of the Employee) during the period  ending on the  earlier of the
         Expiration Date  or the  third anniversary of  the date  of  Employee's
         death.

                  (d) If Employee's  employment with the Company  terminates for
         any reason other than those set forth in subparagraphs  (a) through (c)
         above,  this Option may be exercised by Employee at any time during the
         period of 30 days following such  termination,  or by Employee's estate
         (or the person who acquires  this Option by will or the laws of descent
         and  distribution  or otherwise by reason of the death of the Employee)
         during a period of six months  following  Employee's  death if Employee
         dies during such 30-day period,  but in each case only as to the number
         of shares Employee was entitled to purchase  hereunder upon exercise of
         this Option as of the date Employee's employment so terminates.

         This  Option  shall  not be  exercisable  in  any  event  prior  to the
expiration  of six months from the date of grant hereof or after the  expiration
of  ten  years  from  the  date  of  grant   hereof  (the   "Expiration   Date")
notwithstanding  anything hereinabove contained. The purchase price of shares as
to which this Option is exercised  shall be paid in full at the time of exercise
(a) in cash (including  check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of
the Company),  (b) by  delivering  to the Company  shares of Stock having a fair
market value equal to the purchase price and which shares,  if acquired from the
Company,  have  been held by  Employee  for more  than six  months,  or (c) by a
combination of cash or Stock. Payment may also be made by delivery (including by
facsimile  transmission)  to  the  Company  of an  executed  irrevocable  option
exercise  form,  coupled  with  irrevocable   instructions  to  a  broker-dealer
designated  by the Company to  simultaneously  sell a  sufficient  number of the
shares as to which the option is exercised  and deliver  directly to the Company
that portion of the sales proceeds  representing the exercise price. No fraction
of a share of Stock shall be issued by the Company upon exercise of an Option or
accepted  by the  Company in  payment of the  purchase  price  thereof;  rather,
Employee  shall provide a cash payment for such amount as is necessary to effect
the issuance and  acceptance  of only whole shares of Stock.  Unless and until a
certificate or certificates  representing  such shares shall have been issued by
the Company to  Employee,  Employee (or the person  permitted  to exercise  this
Option in the event of Employee's  death) shall not be or have any of the rights
or privileges of a shareholder of the Company with respect to shares  acquirable
upon an exercise of this Option.

         4. Withholding  of Tax. To the extent that the  exercise of this Option
or the  disposition  of shares of Stock  acquired  by  exercise  of this  Option
results in  compensation  income to  Employee  for  federal or state  income tax
purposes, Employee shall deliver  to the Company at the time of such exercise or

<PAGE>

disposition  such  amount of money or shares of Stock as the Company may require
to meet its  withholding  obligation  under  applicable tax laws or regulations,
and, if Employee  fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from any
cash or Stock  remuneration  then or  thereafter  payable  to  Employee  any tax
required to be withheld by reason of such resulting compensation income. Upon an
exercise of this Option,  the Company is further authorized in its discretion to
satisfy  any such  withholding  requirement  out of any cash or  shares of Stock
distributable to Employee upon such exercise.

         5. Status  of  Stock.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this
Agreement,  in the absence of an effective  registration  statement for issuance
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of the shares of Stock
acquirable  upon  exercise  of  this  Option,  or an  available  exemption  from
registration under the Act, issuance of shares of Stock acquirable upon exercise
of this Option will be delayed until registration of such shares is effective or
an exemption from registration  under the Act is available.  The Company intends
to use its best  efforts to ensure that no such delay will  occur.  In the event
exemption from registration  under the Act is available upon an exercise of this
Option,  Employee (or the person  permitted to exercise this Option in the event
of Employee's  death or incapacity),  if requested by the Company to do so, will
execute  and  deliver to the  Company in writing an  agreement  containing  such
provisions  as the  Company  may require to assure  compliance  with  applicable
securities laws.

         Employee  agrees that the shares of Stock which Employee may acquire by
exercising  this Option will not be sold or otherwise  disposed of in any manner
which would constitute a violation of any applicable  securities  laws,  whether
federal or state.  Employee also agrees (i) that the  certificates  representing
the shares of Stock  purchased under this Option may bear such legend or legends
as the Company deems  appropriate in order to assure  compliance with applicable
securities  laws,  (ii) that the Company may refuse to register  the transfer of
the shares of Stock purchased under this Option on the stock transfer records of
the  Company  if  such  proposed  transfer  would  in  the  opinion  of  counsel
satisfactory to the Company constitute a violation of any applicable  securities
law and (iii) that the Company may give  related  instructions  to its  transfer
agent,  if any,  to stop  registration  of the  transfer  of the shares of Stock
purchased under this Option.

         6. Employment  Relationship.  For purposes of this Agreement,  Employee
shall be considered  to be in the  employment of the Company as long as Employee
remains an employee of either the Company,  a parent or  subsidiary  corporation
(as defined in section 424 of the Code) of the Company,  or a  corporation  or a
parent or subsidiary of such  corporation  assuming or substituting a new option
for  this  Option.  Any  question  as to  whether  and  when  there  has  been a
termination  of such  employment,  and the cause of such  termination,  shall be
determined  by  the  Committee  or  its  delegate,  as  appropriate,   and  such
determination shall be final.

         7. Binding  Effect.  This Agreement  shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of any successors to the Company and all persons  lawfully  claiming
under Employee.

<PAGE>

         8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas.

         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Company has caused this  Agreement to be duly
executed by its officer  thereunto  duly  authorized,  and Employee has executed
this Agreement, all as of the day and year first above written.

            (c) Plan  Incorporated. Employee  acknowledges  receipt  of  a  copy
of the Plan, and agrees that this award of Restricted Shares shall be subject to
all of the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth  in the  Plan,  including  future
amendments  thereto,  if any,  pursuant  to the  terms  thereof,  which  Plan is
incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Agreement.

         2. Restricted  Shares.  Employee  hereby accepts the Restricted  Shares
when issued and agrees with respect thereto as follows:

            (a) Forfeiture  Restrictions.  The  Restricted  Shares  may  not  be
sold,  assigned,  pledged,  exchanged,  hypothecated  or otherwise  transferred,
encumbered  or  disposed  of to  the  extent  then  subject  to  the  Forfeiture
Restrictions  (as  hereinafter  defined),  and in the  event of  termination  of
Employee's  employment  with the Company or employing  subsidiary for any reason
other than (i) normal retirement on or after age sixty-five, (ii) death or (iii)
disability as determined  by the Company or employing  subsidiary,  or except as
otherwise  provided  in the  last  two  sentences  of  subparagraph  (b) of this
Paragraph 2, Employee shall,  for no  consideration,  forfeit to the Company all
Restricted Shares to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. The
prohibition  against  transfer  and the  obligation  to  forfeit  and  surrender
Restricted  Shares to the Company  upon  termination  of  employment  are herein
referred to as "Forfeiture  Restrictions." The Forfeiture  Restrictions shall be
binding upon and enforceable against any transferee of Restricted Shares.

            (b) Lapse of  Forfeiture Restrictions.  The  Forfeiture Restrictions
shall  lapse as to the  Restricted  Shares  in  accordance  with  the  following
schedule  provided that Employee has been  continuously  employed by the Company

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to all
of the  Restricted  Shares on the earlier of (i) the  occurrence  of a Corporate
Change  (as  such  term is  defined  in the  Plan),  (ii)  the  date  Employee's
employment  with the Company is  terminated by reason of death,  disability  (as
determined by the Company or employing  subsidiary)  or normal  retirement on or
after age sixty-five or (iii) the date on which  Employee shall become  entitled
to the  severance  benefits set forth in Section 3.3 of that  certain  Executive
Employment  Agreement  by and between  Employee  and the  Company.  In the event
Employee's  employment is terminated for any other reason,  including retirement
prior  to  age  sixty-five  with  the  approval  of  the  Company  or  employing
subsidiary,  the Committee which  administers the Plan (the  "Committee") or its
delegate,  as  appropriate,  may, in the  Committee's  or  such delegate's  sole

<PAGE>

discretion,  approve  the  lapse  of  Forfeiture  Restrictions  as to any or all
Restricted Shares still subject to such restrictions, such lapse to be effective
on the date of such approval or Employee's termination date, if later.

            (c) Certificates.  A  certificate evidencing  the Restricted  Shares
shall be issued by the  Company  in  Employee's  name,  or at the  option of the
Company,  in the name of a nominee of the  Company,  pursuant to which  Employee
shall have voting rights and shall be entitled to receive all  dividends  unless
and until the Restricted Shares are forfeited pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement.  The  certificate  shall bear a legend  evidencing  the nature of the
Restricted  Shares,  and the Company may cause the  certificate  to be delivered
upon issuance to the Secretary of the Company or to such other depository as may
be  designated  by  the  Company  as a  depository  for  safekeeping  until  the
forfeiture occurs or the Forfeiture  Restrictions lapse pursuant to the terms of
the Plan and this award. Upon request of the Committee or its delegate, Employee
shall deliver to the Company a stock power,  endorsed in blank,  relating to the
Restricted Shares then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. Upon the lapse of
the Forfeiture  Restrictions  without forfeiture,  the Company shall cause a new
certificate or  certificates to be issued without legend in the name of Employee
for the shares upon which Forfeiture  Restrictions  lapsed.  Notwithstanding any
other  provisions of this  Agreement,  the issuance or delivery of any shares of
Stock (whether  subject to  restrictions or  unrestricted)  may be postponed for
such period as may be required to comply  with  applicable  requirements  of any
national  securities  exchange or any  requirements  under any law or regulation
applicable to the issuance or delivery of such shares.  The Company shall not be
obligated  to issue or deliver  any shares of Stock if the  issuance or delivery
thereof  shall  constitute  a violation  of any  provision  of any law or of any
regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange.

         3. Withholding of Tax. To the extent that the receipt of the Restricted
Shares or the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in income to Employee
for federal or state income tax purposes,  Employee shall deliver to the Company
at the time of such  receipt or lapse,  as the case may be, such amount of money
or  shares  of  unrestricted  Stock  as the  Company  may  require  to meet  its
withholding  obligation  under  applicable  tax  laws or  regulations,  and,  if
Employee  fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from any cash or
Stock remuneration then or thereafter payable to Employee any tax required to be
withheld by reason of such resulting compensation income.

         4. Status of Stock. Employee agrees that the Restricted Shares will not
be  sold or  otherwise  disposed  of in any  manner  which  would  constitute  a
violation of any  applicable  federal or state  securities  laws.  Employee also
agrees (i) that the  certificates  representing  the Restricted  Shares may bear
such  legend or  legends as the  Company  deems  appropriate  in order to assure
compliance with applicable  securities laws, (ii) that the Company may refuse to
register the transfer of the Restricted  Shares on the stock transfer records of
the  Company  if such  proposed  transfer  would be in the  opinion  of  counsel
satisfactory to the Company constitute a violation of any applicable  securities
law and (iii) that the Company may give  related  instructions  to its  transfer
agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Restricted Shares.

         5. Employment  Relationship.  For purposes of this Agreement,  Employee
shall be considered  to be in the  employment of the Company as long as Employee
remains an employee of either the Company, any successor corporation or a parent
or subsidiary corporation (as defined in section 424 of the Code) of the Company
or any successor corporation. Any question as to whether and when there has been
a termination of such employment,  and the cause of such  termination,  shall be
determined  by  the  Committee,  or  its  delegate,  as  appropriate,   and  its
determination shall be final.

         6. Committee's  Powers. No provision  contained in this Agreement shall
in any way  terminate,  modify or  alter,  or be  construed  or  interpreted  as
terminating, modifying or altering any of the powers, rights or authority vested
in the Committee or, to the extent  delegated,  in its delegate  pursuant to the
terms of the Plan or resolutions adopted in furtherance of the Plan,  including,
without limitation,  the right to make certain determinations and elections with
respect to the Restricted Shares.

         7. Binding  Effect.  This Agreement  shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of any successors to the Company and all persons  lawfully  claiming
under Employee.

         8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas.

         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Company has caused this  Agreement to be duly
executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized, and Employee has executed this
Agreement, all as of the date first above written.
