GENERAL INFORMATION

We are providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the
solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of ENGlobal Corporation
("ENGlobal") for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") and for
any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting. In this Proxy Statement, we
refer to ENGlobal as the "Company," "we," "our" or "us."

We are making these proxy materials available to you on the Internet. On or
about May 8, 2009, we will mail a notice to our stockholders containing
instructions on how to access the proxy materials at http://www.proxyvote.com
and vote online. In addition, stockholders may request proxy materials to be
sent to them by mail or email.

Who is soliciting my proxy?

We, the Board of Directors of ENGlobal (the "Board"), are making these
proxy materials available to you in connection with our solicitation of proxies
for use at the Meeting. Specified directors, officers, and employees of ENGlobal
may also solicit proxies on our behalf by mail, phone, fax, or in person.

Who is paying for this solicitation?

ENGlobal will pay for the solicitation of proxies, including the cost of
preparing and assembling these proxy materials, making these proxy materials
available on the Internet, mailing notices to our stockholders, and mailing
these proxy materials to our stockholders on request. We have retained and pay a
fee to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to assist us in making our proxy
materials available on the Internet and tabulating our proxies, but we pay no
separate compensation solely for the solicitation of proxies.

What is the purpose of the Meeting?

At the Meeting, stockholders will be asked to (1) elect directors and (2)
approve and ratify the adoption of the ENGlobal Corporation 2009 Equity
Incentive Plan.

Who is entitled to vote at the Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April __, 2009, the
record date for the Meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at
the Meeting. If you were a stockholder of record on that date, you are entitled
to vote all of the shares you held on that date at the Meeting, or any
postponements or adjournments of the Meeting.

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are the holder of
record of these shares and we will send the notice and online access and voting
instructions directly to you. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account or
through a bank or other holder of record, you hold the shares in "street name,"
and your broker, bank or other holder of record will send voting instructions to
you.

How many votes do I have?

You have one vote at the Meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of
the Meeting, for each share of our Common Stock you owned as of the record date.
Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

How do I vote?

You may submit a proxy or voting instructions over the Internet at
http://www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions provided in the notice
mailed to you or by voting in person at the Meeting. You may also submit a proxy
or voting instructions by telephone by following the instructions found on the
Internet site. If you request proxy materials by mail or email, you may submit a
proxy or voting instructions by any of the above methods or by completing and
mailing a proxy card.

If you hold your shares in street name, you have the right to direct your
broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote by following the instructions
sent to you by the holder of record. If you desire to vote in person at the
Meeting, as a holder in street name, you must provide a legal proxy from your
bank, broker or other holder of record.

May I revoke my proxy or change my voting instructions?

Yes, you may revoke your proxy or change your voting instructions by (a)
voting in person at the Meeting, (b) casting a vote over the Internet or by
telephone at a later date or (c) sending a written notice of revocation to our
Corporate Secretary by mail to ENGlobal Corporation, 654 N. Sam Houston Parkway
E., Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77060-5914 or by facsimile at (281) 878-1011;
provided, that, with regard to (b) and (c), the Company receives such change
prior to the Meeting. If you request proxy materials by mail or email, you may
also change your proxy by mailing a proxy card with a later date, provided that
the Company receives the later dated proxy card prior to the Meeting. If you
submit a new proxy, only your later dated proxy (whether cast by Internet,
telephone, mail or in person) will be counted.

What are the Board's recommendations?

The Board's recommendations are set forth together with the description of
each item in this Proxy Statement. The Board recommends a vote FOR the election
of four directors to our Board to serve until the next annual meeting of
stockholders and FOR the approval of the adoption of the ENGlobal Corporation
2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

If any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, with regard to any
proxies submitted by stockholders, William A. Coskey, P.E. and R.W. (Bob)
Raiford will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given,
in their own discretion.

How many votes must be present to hold the Meeting?

We will have a quorum, and will be able to conduct the business of the
Meeting, if the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock outstanding and
entitled to vote are represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting. As of the
record date, 27,294,852 shares of Common Stock, representing the same number of
votes, were outstanding. Thus, the presence in person or by proxy of the record
holders of at least 13,647,427 shares of Common Stock will be required to
establish a quorum. Stockholders of record who are present at the Meeting in
person or by proxy and who abstain from voting, including brokers holding
customers' shares of record who cause abstentions to be recorded at the Meeting,
will be included in the number of stockholders present at the Meeting for
purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

What vote is required to approve each item?

The election of directors is decided by a plurality of the votes cast. For
this purpose, "plurality" means that the individuals receiving the largest
number of affirmative votes, whether or not they receive a majority of the

votes, are elected as directors, up to the maximum number of directors to be
chosen at the election. A properly executed proxy marked "WITHHOLD AUTHORITY"
with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with
regard to the director or director indicated, although it will be counted for
purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

With regard to each other item voted on at the Meeting, including the
adoption of the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on
the item will be required for approval. A properly executed proxy marked
"Abstain" with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be
counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an
abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.

For shares held in "street name" through a broker or other nominee, the
broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with
respect to some of the matters to be acted upon. Thus, if stockholders do not
give their broker or nominee specific instructions, their shares may not be
voted on those matters and will not be counted in determining the number of
shares necessary for approval. Shares represented by such "broker non-votes"
will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum.

What if I do not mark a voting choice for some of the matters listed on my proxy
card?

If you request proxy materials by mail or email and send a proxy card
without specifying a vote or an abstention, your shares will be voted "FOR" the
director nominees listed on the proxy card and in this Proxy Statement, and for
the approval of the ENGlobal Corporation 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

Could other matters be decided at the Meeting?

We do not know of any matters that will be considered at the Meeting other
than the items set forth in this Proxy Statement. If other matters are properly
raised at the Meeting, your proxy authorizes the Proxy Holders to vote as they
think best, unless authority to do so is withheld by you in your proxy.

What happens if the Meeting is postponed or adjourned?

If the Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your proxy will still be good and
may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to
change or revoke your proxy until it is voted at the Meeting.

How do I get copies of the exhibits filed with ENGlobal's Form 10-K?

We are furnishing our annual report to our stockholders over the Internet.
You may read, print and download our annual report at http://www.proxyvote.com.
You may request the annual report be sent to you by mail or email by following
the instructions on the notice of internet availability to be mailed to you on
or about May 8, 2009. ENGlobal will provide to any stockholder as of the record
date, who so specifically requests in writing, copies of the exhibits filed with
ENGlobal's Annual Report on Form 10-K for a reasonable fee. Requests for such
copies should be directed to Corporate Secretary, ENGlobal Corporation, 654 N.
Sam Houston Parkway E., Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77060-5914. The annual report
may also be read, downloaded and printed at www.englobal.com. In addition,
copies of all exhibits filed electronically by ENGlobal may be reviewed and
printed from the SEC's website at: www.sec.gov.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following section summarizes information about our corporate governance
policies, our Board and its committees and the director nomination process.

Our Governance Practices

Corporate Governance Guidelines

We believe that good corporate governance helps to ensure that the Company
is managed for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. During the past year,
we continued to review our corporate governance policies and practices, the
corporate governance rules and regulations of the SEC, and the rules of the
NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ").

In 2008, we reviewed our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee,
Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee Charters, Corporate Code of Conduct,
and other policies and procedures required by applicable law or stock exchange
listing standards. You can access and print these documents from the "Investor
Relations" section of our website at www.englobal.com or you can request copies
at no cost by writing us at ENGlobal Corporation, 654 N. Sam Houston Parkway E.,
Suite 400, Houston, TX 77060-5914, Attention: Investor Relations.

Corporate Code of Conduct

The Company has adopted a Corporate Code of Conduct that applies to all of
the Company's directors, officers and employees in accordance with NASDAQ rules.
The purpose and role of this code is to focus our officers, directors, and
employees on areas of ethical risk, provide guidance to help them recognize and
deal with ethical issues, provide mechanisms to report unethical or unlawful
conduct, and help enhance and formalize our culture of integrity, honesty and
accountability. We have posted our Code of Conduct on the "Investor Relations"
section of our website at www.englobal.com.

The Company also has a Code of Ethics applicable to the Chief Executive
Officer and certain senior financial officers of the Company that complies with
Item 406 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act and with applicable NASDAQ rules.
We have posted our Code of Conduct on the "Investor Relations" section of our
website at www.englobal.com.

The Board of Directors

Board Size; Meetings of the Board

Our Board currently has four members (its authorized size). During 2008,
the Board met 14 times and each director attended at least 75% of the meetings.
For information regarding meetings of the committees of our Board, see
"Committees of the Board of Directors--Committee Composition and Meetings"
below.

Executive Sessions; Lead Director

In 2008, the Company held nine executive sessions of its non-employee
directors, Messrs. Gent, Hale and Roussel. Any non-employee director can request
that an executive session be scheduled. Mr. Gent has served as the Company's
lead independent director since 2002, and was re-elected to this role in 2009.

Director Independence

The Board has determined that no director has a relationship which, in the
opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of his independent
judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and that all
directors, except Mr. Coskey, meet the criteria for independence under NASDAQ
rules. The Board has also determined that the members of each of its committees,
including the Audit Committee, meet the criteria for membership applicable to
each committee under the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules and
regulations.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

All of our directors, except Mr. Hale, attended the 2008 annual meeting and
we expect all directors standing for reelection will attend the 2009 Meeting.

Board Evaluation Process

The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee conducts an annual
evaluation to determine whether the Board, its committees and its members are
functioning effectively. The evaluation focuses on the Board's (and each Board
committee's and member's) contribution as a whole to us and on areas that the
Board, any Board committee, any individual director and/or management believe
can be improved.

Director Elections

Directors will be elected by a favorable vote of a plurality of the shares
of common stock present, in person or by proxy, at the Meeting and entitled to
vote.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Committee Composition and Meetings

Each of our directors, except Mr. Gent, attended at least 75% of the total
meetings held by all Board committees on which they served in 2008.

Summary of Committee Responsibilities

All of our committee charters are available at www.englobal.com.
----------------

Audit Committee

The purposes of the Audit Committee are to oversee:

o the quality and integrity of our financial statements;
o our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and
o our independent auditors' qualifications, independence and
performance.

In addition, the Audit Committee annually reviews our disclosures
regarding deficiencies, if any, in the design or operation of internal controls.

The Board has determined that Mr. Hale is qualified as an audit
committee financial expert under the SEC's rules and regulations. In addition,
the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee has the
requisite accounting and related financial management expertise under NASDAQ
rules.

Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee

The purposes of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee are
to:

o assist the Board by identifying individuals qualified to become Board
members and recommend to the Board director nominees for election at
the annual meetings of stockholders or for appointments to fill
vacancies;
o recommend to the Board director nominees for each Board committee and
advise the Board on the appropriate composition of the Board and its
committees;
o make an annual report to the Board on succession planning;
o advise the Board about and recommend to the Board appropriate
corporate governance practices and assist the Board in implementing
those practices; and
o implement the annual performance review process for the Board and its
committees.

In addition, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee reviews
all relationships each director has with us and reports the results of its
review to the Board with appropriate recommendations, if any, for approval.

Compensation Committee

The purposes of the Compensation Committee are to:

o review, evaluate and approve our agreements, plans, policies and
programs to compensate our officers and directors;
o oversee our plans, policies and programs to compensate our employees;
o review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and, based on that
review and discussion, determine whether to recommend to the Board
that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in our
annual report or Proxy Statement for the Meeting;
o produce a report for inclusion in our Proxy Statement for the Meeting;
o evaluate the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and
executives;
o set the compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and such other
executives as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate and
otherwise discharge the Board's responsibilities relating to
compensation of our officers and directors; and

o encourage stock ownership by directors and executives, including
through the use of equity compensation programs.

The Compensation Committee has discretion to establish and delegate
some or all of its authority to subcommittees. During 2008, the Compensation
Committee did not establish or utilize a subcommittee for considering or
determining executive or director compensation, and it has no current plans to
do so. For information regarding the Compensation Committee's role in setting
compensation, see "Executive Compensation--Compensation Discussion and Analysis"
and "Director Compensation." For information regarding the role of our executive
officers in setting compensation, see "Executive Compensation--Compensation
Discussion and Analysis."

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2008, all members of the Compensation Committee were
independent directors and no member is or was our employee. During 2008, none of
our executives served on a compensation committee (or equivalent) or a board of
directors of another entity that had an executive serving on our Compensation
Committee or Board.

Director Nominations

Consideration of Director Nominees

Stockholder Nominees

The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee will carefully
consider all qualified director candidates, whether such candidates are
recommended by a stockholder or otherwise. Any stockholder wishing to recommend
a director candidate for the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders should submit
his nomination before January 8, 2010 to ENGlobal Corporation, 654 N. Sam
Houston Parkway E., Suite 400, Houston, TX 77060-5914, Attention: Corporate
Secretary. Nominations should include the following information in order to
facilitate the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee's review and
consideration:

o the name, telephone number and address of the recommending
stockholder;
o the name, age, business address and residence of the director
candidate;
o the principal occupation or employment of the director candidate for
the past five years;
o a description of the director candidate's qualifications to serve as a
director, including financial expertise and why the candidate
qualifies or does not qualify as "independent" under the NASDAQ
listing standards;
o the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock beneficially owned
by the director candidate, if any;
o a description of any arrangements or understandings between the
recommending stockholder and the director candidate, if any, or any
other person for whom the recommending stockholder is making the
recommendation; and
o whether or not the recommending stockholder and the director candidate
consent to being named in the Company's Proxy Statement with respect
to disclosures regarding the nomination process.

No candidate for election to our Board has been recommended within the
preceding year by a beneficial owner of 5% or more of our Common Stock.

Director Qualifications

The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee establishes criteria
for selecting new members of the Board. The Board as a whole should reflect a
range of skills, knowledge and experience in areas of importance to the Company.
Directors must be committed to upholding the highest standards of personal and
professional integrity and to representing the interests of all stockholders,
not particular stockholder constituencies. The Nominating & Corporate Governance
Committee places no specific restrictions on the number of terms directors may
serve or other Boards on which a director may sit, but directors must possess
sufficient time and energy to carry out their duties effectively. A majority of
directors must be "independent" under the NASDAQ rules, and members of the
Company's audit committee must meet NASDAQ financial literacy and sophistication
requirements. In determining whether a director is independent, the Board will
broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors

The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a variety of
methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Nominating &
Corporate Governance Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the
Board, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or
otherwise. If vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating &
Corporate Governance Committee will consider various potential candidates for
director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating & Corporate
Governance Committee through current Board members, stockholders or other
persons. These candidates will be evaluated at regular or special meetings of
the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee, and may be considered at any
point during the year. As described above, the Nominating & Corporate Governance
Committee will consider properly submitted stockholder nominations for
candidates for the Board.

Communications with the Board

Stockholders may communicate with the Board, Board committees,
Non-employee Directors as a group, and individual directors by submitting their
communications in writing to ENGlobal Corporation, 654 N. Sam Houston Parkway
E., Suite 400, Houston, TX 77060-5914, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Any
communication must contain:

o a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of our
capital stock;
o the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder
sending the communication; and
o the number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned
by such stockholder.

ENGlobal's Corporate Secretary will distribute such communications to
the intended recipient upon receipt, unless the communication is unduly hostile,
threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate, in which case the Corporate
Secretary has the authority to discard the communication or to take appropriate
legal action regarding the communication.

ITEMS TO BE VOTED ON BY STOCKHOLDERS

PROPOSAL ONE:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Nominees

The number of directors of the Company has been set at four in
connection with the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, you and the other
stockholders will elect four individuals to serve as directors until the next
annual meeting of stockholders, until their successors are duly elected or
appointed or until their death, resignation, or removal. Each of the nominees is
currently a member of the Board.

The individuals named as proxies will vote proxies received for the
election of all nominees, unless you direct them to withhold your votes. If any
nominee becomes unable to serve as a Director before the Annual Meeting, an
event that is not presently anticipated, discretionary authority may be
exercised by the persons named as proxies to vote for substitute nominees
proposed by the Board.

There are no arrangements or understandings between ENGlobal and any
person pursuant to which such person has been elected as Director.

The nominees for Director, each of whom has consented to serve, if
elected, are as follows:

PROPOSAL TWO:
APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION OF THE
ENGLOBAL CORPORATION 2009 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Board has approved, subject to stockholder approval, ENGlobal's
2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan will enhance the ability of
ENGlobal and its subsidiaries to attract and retain officers, employees,
directors and consultants of outstanding ability and to provide selected
participants with an interest in ENGlobal parallel to that of our stockholders.

The Board has chosen to limit the number of authorized shares under
the Plan to 480,000, which represents the number of previously authorized but
unissued shares under the expired ENGlobal Corporation 1998 Incentive Plan
previously approved by stockholders on June 14, 2007. The Board believes this
limitation is appropriate because it uses equity for the limited purpose of
aligning the interests of participants under the Plan. The Board also believes
the limitation is appropriate to reduce shareholder dilution.

Summary Description of the Plan

The following summary of the principal terms of the Plan is qualified
in its entirety by the full text of the Plan, which has been filed as an exhibit
to this Proxy Statement and can be reviewed on the Securities and Exchange
Commission's website at www.sec.gov. You may also obtain, free of charge, a copy
of the Plan by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 654 N. Sam Houston Parkway
E., Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77060-5914.

Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain key
employees, directors and consultants by providing them with additional
incentives, and to promote the success of the Company's business.

Administration. The Board or one or more committees appointed by the
Board will administer the Plan. For this purpose, the Board has delegated
general administrative authority for the Plan to the Chief Governance Officer. A
committee may delegate some or all of its authority with respect to the Plan to

another committee of directors and may delegate certain limited award grant
authority to one or more officers of the Company. (The appropriate acting body,
be it the Board, a committee within its delegated authority, or an officer
within his or her delegated authority, is referred to in this summary as the
"Administrator.") The Administrator determines the number of shares that are
subject to awards and the terms and conditions of such awards, including the
price (if any) to be paid for the shares or the award. Along with other
authority granted to the Administrator under the Plan, the Administrator may (i)
determine fair market value, (ii) select recipients of awards, (iii) determine
the number of shares subject to awards, (iv) approve form award agreements, (v)
determine the terms and conditions of awards, (vi) reduce the exercise price of
outstanding awards without participant consent, (vii) amend outstanding awards,
and (viii) allow participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations through a
reduction of shares.

Eligibility. Persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan include
our officers, employees, consultants and member of the Board. The Administrator
determines from time to time the participants to whom awards will be granted.
An award may be granted by the Administrator to any eligible person to reward
exceptional or special services, contributions or achievements in the manner and
on such terms and conditions (including any restrictions on such shares) as
determined by the Administrator and may be granted independently or in lieu of
a cash bonus.

Authorized Shares; Limits on Awards. The maximum number of shares of
Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Plan equals
480,000, all of which may be subject to incentive stock option treatment.
Additionally, the maximum number of shares subject to those options and stock
appreciation rights that may be granted during any calendar year to any
individual under the Plan is 240,000 shares.

To the extent that the Company settles an award for cash or a form
other than shares, the shares that would have been delivered had there been no
such cash or other settlement will not be counted against the shares available
for issuance under the Plan. To the extent that shares are delivered pursuant to
the exercise of a stock appreciation right or stock option, only the shares
actually issued shall be counted against the applicable share limits. Shares
that are subject to or underlie awards that expire or for any reason are
cancelled or terminated, are forfeited, fail to vest, or for any other reason
are not paid or delivered under the Plan will again be available for subsequent
awards under the Plan. Additionally, shares that are exchanged by a participant
or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with any
award under the Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or
withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to
any award under the Plan, will be available for subsequent awards under the Plan
and are not counted against the applicable share limits.

As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, the number and kind
of shares available under the Plan and the then outstanding stock-based awards,
as well as exercise or purchase prices, performance targets under certain
performance-based awards and share limits, are subject to adjustment in the
event of certain reorganizations, mergers, combinations, consolidations,
recapitalizations, dividends, stock splits, a split-up or a spin-off,
repurchases or exchange, or other similar events, or extraordinary dividends or
distributions of property to the stockholders.

Incentive Awards. The Plan authorizes stock options, stock
appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, restricted stock units,
performance shares and performance units, as well as other awards (described in
the Plan) that are responsive to changing developments in management
compensation. The Plan retains the flexibility to offer competitive incentives
and to tailor benefits to specific needs and circumstances. Any award may be
paid or settled in cash. An option or SAR will expire, or other award will vest
in accordance with the schedule set forth in the applicable award agreement.

Stock Option. A stock option is the right to purchase shares of Common
Stock at a future date at a specified price per share generally equal to, but no
less than, the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. An option may
either be an Incentive Stock Option ("ISO") or a nonstatutory stock option
("NSO"). ISO benefits are taxed differently from NSOs, as described under
"Federal Income Tax Treatment of Awards under the Plan," below. ISOs also are

subject to more restrictive terms and are limited in amount by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Plan. Full payment for
shares purchased on the exercise of any option must be made at the time of such
exercise in a manner approved by the Administrator.

SARs. A SAR is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to the
excess of the fair market value of a common share on the date of exercise of the
SAR over the base price of the SAR. The base price will be established by the
Administrator at the time of grant of the SAR but will not be less than the fair
market value of a share on the date of grant. SARs may be granted in connection
with other awards or independently.

Restricted Stock. A restricted stock award is typically for a fixed
number of shares of Common Stock subject to restrictions. The Administrator
specifies the price, if any, the participant must pay for such shares and the
restrictions (which may include, for example, continued service and/or
performance standards) imposed on such shares.

Restricted Stock Units. A restricted stock unit is similar to a SAR
except that it entitles the recipient to receive an amount equal to the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock.

Performance-Based Awards. Performance-based awards designed to satisfy
the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code (in addition
to other awards expressly authorized under the Plan which may also qualify as
performance-based) and may be based on the performance of the Company and/or one
or more of our subsidiaries, divisions, segments, or units. The business
criteria from which performance goals will be established are listed in the Plan
under the term "Performance Goals." Performance goals may be adjusted to reflect
certain changes, including reorganizations, liquidations and capitalization and
accounting changes, to the extent permitted by Section 162(m). Performance-based
awards may be stock-based (payable either in stock only or in cash or stock) or
may be cash-only awards (in either case, subject to the limits described under
the heading "Authorized Shares; Limits on Awards" above). Before any
performance-based award is paid, the Administrator must certify that the
performance goals have been satisfied. The Administrator has discretion to
determine the performance goals and restrictions or other limitations of the
individual awards and reserves discretion to reduce payments below maximum award
limits.

The Administrator may grant stock unit awards and permit deferred
payment of awards, and may determine the form and timing of payment, vesting,
and other terms applicable to stock units or deferrals.

Acceleration of Awards; Possible Early Termination of Awards. Upon a
change in control of the Company, outstanding awards under the Plan will be
assumed or substituted. However, if the successor corporation does not assume or
substitute the outstanding awards, then vesting of these awards will fully
accelerate, and in the case of options or stock appreciation rights, will become
immediately exercisable. For this purpose a change in control is defined to
include certain changes in the majority of the Board, the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets, and the consummation of certain
mergers or consolidations.

Transfer Restrictions. Subject to certain exceptions, awards under the
Plan are not transferable by the recipient other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution and are generally exercisable, during the recipient's
lifetime, only by him or her.

Termination of or Changes to the Plan. The Board may amend or
terminate the Plan at any time and in any manner; provided, however, that under
NASDAQ rules and the Code, stockholder approval generally is required in
connection with any material amendment to the Plan. Unless required by
applicable law or listing agency rule, stockholder approval for any amendment
will not be required. Unless previously terminated by the Board, the Plan will
terminate on June 18, 2019. Generally speaking, outstanding awards may be
amended, subject, however, to the consent of the holder if the amendment
materially and adversely affects the holder.

Federal Income Tax Treatment of Awards under the Plan

Federal income tax consequences (subject to change) relating to awards
under the Plan are summarized in the following discussion. This summary is not
intended to be exhaustive and, among other considerations, does not describe the
deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the extent an
award is subject to and does not satisfy those rules, nor does it describe
state, local, or international tax consequences.

For "NSOs," the Company is generally entitled to deduct (and the
optionee recognizes taxable income in) an amount equal to the difference between
the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of
exercise. For ISOs, the Company is generally not entitled to a deduction nor
does the participant recognize income at the time of exercise. The current
federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the Plan
generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed and deductible in
substantially the same manner as NSOs; nontransferable restricted stock subject
to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the
excess of the fair market value over the price paid (if any) only at the time
the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as
of the date of grant); bonuses and performance share awards are generally
subject to tax at the time of payment; cash-based awards are generally subject
to tax at the time of payment; and compensation otherwise effectively deferred
is taxed when paid. The Company will generally have a corresponding deduction at
the time the participant recognizes income. However, as for those awards subject
to ISO treatment, the Company would generally have no corresponding compensation
deduction.

If an award is accelerated under the Plan in connection with a change
in control (as this term is used under the Code), the Company may not be
permitted to deduct the portion of the compensation attributable to the
acceleration ("parachute payments") if it exceeds certain threshold limits under
the Code (and certain related excise taxes may be triggered). Furthermore, the
aggregate compensation in excess of $1,000,000 attributable to awards which are
not "performance-based" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code may not
be permitted to be deducted by the Company in certain circumstances.

Inapplicability of ERISA

Based upon current law and published interpretations, ENGlobal does
not believe the Plan is subject to any of the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Anticipated Grants

The Board has not made any grants under the proposed Plan. But as
discussed in greater detail in the "Director Compensation" section of this
proxy, the Board anticipates awarding a number of shares of restricted stock to
its Non-employee Directors in a total amount equal to $83,000 for director
compensation, which the Compensation Committee considers commiserate with peer
company director compensation. The following table represents the pro-forma
number of restricted shares to be granted, assuming the fair market value of the
grant was $4.54 on June 18, 2009:

Number of Shares of
Name and Position Expected Grant Date Restricted Stock(1)
----------------- ------------------- -------------------

David W. Gent, P.E. June 18, 2009 18,282
Randall B. Hale June 18, 2009 18,282
David C. Roussel June 18, 2009 18,282
------
Total 54,846
======

---------------------------

(1) Assuming the fair market value on the date of grant is $4.54,
18,282 shares of restricted stock will be awarded to each of
Company's Non-employee directors on June 18, 2009.

Stockholder Approval

Stockholder approval is required so that incentive stock options under
the Plan will qualify under Section 422 of the Code and so that certain awards
under the Plan will qualify as performance-based compensation under Section
162(m) of the Code. Stockholder approval is also required under NASDAQ rules.

(1) Beneficial ownership of Common Stock has been determined for this
purpose in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, under
which a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities if
such person has or shares voting power or investment power with
respect to such securities, has the right to acquire beneficial
ownership within 60 days, or acquires such securities with the purpose
or effect of changing or influencing the control of ENGlobal.
(2) Alliance 2000, Ltd. ("Alliance") is a Texas limited partnership whose
general partner, is jointly owned by Mr. Coskey and his spouse. Of
these shares, 1,980,000 are held subject to an Option Pool Agreement
pursuant to which options are granted to certain employees of ENGlobal
and its subsidiaries.

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under U.S. securities laws, directors, executive officers and persons
holding more than 10% of Common Stock must report their initial ownership of
Common Stock and any changes in that ownership to the SEC. The SEC has
designated specific due dates for such reports and ENGlobal must identify in
this Proxy Statement those persons who did not file such reports when due.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and any amendments
furnished to ENGlobal during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and any
amendments furnished to ENGlobal with respect to the same fiscal year, we
believe that our Directors, officers, and greater than 10% beneficial owners
complied with all applicable Section 16 filing requirements, except for that on
June 23, 2008, Messrs. Gent, Hale and Roussel filed separate Form 4s reporting
an option grant on June 19, 2008.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Board of Directors has adopted a policy requiring that all
transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal
stockholders and their affiliates be on terms no less favorable to the Company
than could be obtained from unrelated third parties and that any such
transactions be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the
Company's Board. The Company's Audit Committee is responsible for the review and
assessment of all related party transactions.

The Board has determined that no related party transactions existed
during fiscal year 2008. See "Corporate Governance--Our Governance Practices"
for a discussion of our policies and procedures related to conflicts of
interest.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis generally describes the
development and current composition of our executive and director compensation
programs and policies, and discusses the philosophy and principles underlying
those policies and programs. It also gives greater context to the data presented
in the tables and narratives that follow. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with such tables, which follow beginning on page 20 of this Proxy
Statement.

What is our executive compensation program designed to reward?

Our executive compensation program is designed to reward individual
performance and to achieve strategic business objectives that are aimed at
growing our business and aligning the long-term interests of our executives and
stockholders. Specifically, as our production and profits increase, so does
executive compensation. Conversely, if production and profits decrease,
executive compensation may be less generous.

What are the elements and objectives of our executive compensation program?

Our compensation program for executives consists of base salary,
annual incentive awards, long-term incentive awards, and termination and
change-in-control arrangements. Using these elements, the Compensation Committee
(the "Committee") has designed our compensation program to prudently use our
resources while meeting the following objectives:

o attract and retain the talent that we believe is required to
successfully execute our business strategy;
o align the interests of our executives with the interests of our
stockholders;
o reinforce expectations of leadership and achievement, consistent
with our values and our vision to be the best positioned, most
trusted choice for engineering and professional services in the
energy sector; and
o provide a strong incentive to our executives to achieve their
potential and our goals and long-term success.

How are executive compensation amounts determined?

In determining target compensation levels for each executive, the
Committee considers:

o total compensation amounts;
o market data;
o individual performance;
o corporate performance;
o compensation history; and
o internal equity.

None of these factors are weighted, but are considered together.

Total Compensation Amounts

In determining the individual compensation for ENGlobal's executives,
the Committee considers the total compensation to be awarded to each executive
(base salary, annual incentive awards, long-term incentive awards, and
termination and change-in-control arrangements) and may exercise discretion in
determining the portion allocated to the various components of total
compensation. ENGlobal believes that the focus on total compensation provides
the ability to align pay decisions with our short- and long-term business needs.
This approach also allows for the flexibility needed to recognize differences in
performance by providing differentiated pay.

Market Data

Market data is a key consideration for the Committee. The Committee
considers this data for general market movement and trends and the positioning
of our executives relative to the market. The Committee reviewed and considered
market data for a peer group composed of six other engineering and construction
companies (Furmanite Corporation, Michael Baker Corporation, Matrix Service
Company, Tetra Tech, Inc., Willbros Group, and VSE Corporation). These companies
were selected primarily because they are representative of the sector in which
we operate with respect to each company's relative leadership position in our
sector, its relative size as measured by market capitalization, the relative
complexity of the business, and the CEO's role and responsibilities.

Market data for target total direct compensation (base salary,
targeted annual incentive and expected value of long-term incentive awards) is
developed to provide a broad market view. Each executive's position relative to
the market data is reflective of his experience (both with us and with other
organizations) and the other factors described below.

Individual Performance

The Committee also considers individual performance, including
achievement of individualized goals, current and potential impact on corporate
performance, reputation, skills, experience, criticality and demonstration of
our values as important factors. Our values are to:

o act with absolute integrity;
o provide superb service to our customers;
o collaborate with, support and respect our employees;
o embrace the entrepreneurial spirit;
o encourage a passion for excellence in everything we do; and
o operate in a safe and responsible manner.

The format used for our executives' annual performance evaluations is
the same as for all employees (except our Chief Executive Officer). See "What is
the role of our executives in the compensation process?"

Corporate Performance

Significant portions of our annual incentive awards and long-term
incentive awards are tied to corporate and operational results, which must be
measured to determine the level of payout. See "Why do we choose to pay each
element?"

Compensation History

In determining an executive's compensation, the Committee considers
the base salary and the annual incentive payout history of each executive for
the preceding four years. The Committee also considers each executive's equity
holdings, including the date of any grants, the types of awards (stock options
or cash), the vesting provisions, the expiration dates, the exercise prices, and
the number of shares granted. The Committee reviews these historical awards in
order to allocate an appropriate portion of executive compensation to retention
value.

Internal Equity

The Committee believes that the success of a company depends to a
large extent on honest and ethical leadership and teamwork. Consequently,
compensation among senior executives is roughly equivalent. However, some
differences in levels of compensation among our executives exist because of
differences in their roles and responsibilities and in the factors discussed
above. The Committee does not use formulas in determining base compensation
amounts, but is mindful of internal equity and the impact of perceived fairness
related to its decisions. Bonuses for senior executives are based on a formula
tied to increases in earnings per share.

How does each element and our decisions regarding that element fit into our
compensation program's objectives and affect other elements?

The Committee believes that in order to achieve our compensation
program's objectives, a significant portion of executive compensation should be
composed of variable, at risk elements, with the majority of these elements
being based on alignment with our stockholders and achievement of our long-term
success. Base salaries attract and retain the talent we need to lead and grow
our business. The Committee strives for a balanced and effective mix of
elements, which are not weighted in any particular manner. We have no policies
or formulas for allocating among different forms of pay.

Mr. Coskey did not receive a salary increase in 2008, but elected to
participate in the 2008 Key Manager Incentive Plan. See "Annual Incentive
Awards" below.

Why do we choose to pay each element?

Base Salary

Base salary is paid in cash commensurate with the responsibilities of
each individual's position, subject to adjustment by the Committee based on its
annual review of the factors discussed under "How are executive compensation
amounts determined?" The Committee believes the base salaries provide a

competitive level of fixed compensation based on the individual's experience and
performance as well as the position's market value. See "Summary Compensation
Table" for base salary amounts.

Annual Incentive Awards

Annual incentive awards are paid in cash and are tied to annual
achievement against earnings per share results. The purpose of our annual
incentive awards is to encourage superior performance on key corporate and
employee metrics that are critical to our business. Under the Key Manager
Incentive Plan, if the Company's adjusted earnings per share for a year, after
subtracting all incentive compensation, exceeds adjusted earnings per share in
the immediately preceding calendar year, the Company designates a bonus pool
equal to $80,000 for each penny per share of earnings the Company makes which is
above the prior year's earnings per share. The amount of the bonus pool under
the Key Manager Incentive Plan is not permitted to exceed 12.50% of adjusted
pre-tax, pre-bonus earnings (after adjusting for non-operating and non-recurring
events) for the year for which the bonus is paid.

Except for bonuses paid to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, which are determined by the Committee, amounts in the bonus
pool are distributed in the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, after
consultation with the Company's management, based on evaluations of each
eligible participant, assessing factors such as financial performance, client
satisfaction, and leadership. In addition, in the discretion of the Chief
Executive Officer, an amount equal to 10% to 15% of the total bonus pool may be
allocated for any employees exhibiting performance over and above requirements
of their position, when their performance has resulted in the addition of new
clients, an improvement in the Company's financial performance, the award of new
projects, or other significant activities that reflect the Company's core
values. A copy of the Key Manager Incentive Plan approved by the Board of
Directors was previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.43 to the Company's
Form 8-K dated April 10, 2007.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

Although use of the long-term incentive awards is limited, such
equity-based awards are available for issuance when appropriate to align our
executives' interests with those of our stockholders. These awards are designed
to retain our executives and to provide them continued motivation to achieve our
long-term success. In selecting recipients for equity grants and in determining
the size of such grants, we consider various factors, including:

o our achievements, financial performance and financial ratios,
including revenues, operating income, and earnings per share;
o Company and individual performance, both on an absolute basis in
terms of growth over prior year performance, and against
pre-established performance goals;
o compensation paid by companies of comparable size in businesses
similar to our business;
o the executive's level of responsibility; and
o the executive's contributions in support of our strategies.

The structure of our long-term incentive awards reflects the
Committee's view that the purpose of the executive's equity compensation should
strengthen alignment with stockholders, provide incentives tied to our
performance and serve as a retention vehicle. Performance-based cash awards are
primarily a stockholder alignment tool, as they are earned or vested upon the
achievement of a key performance metric, earnings per share. Time-based common
stock options can be retentive and they create stockholder alignment because
their value increases as our stock price increases. The weighting of the
long-term incentive award vehicles is reflective of the Committee's goal to have
a balanced and effective mix of cash and equity elements.

Employment Agreements; Termination and Change-in-Control Arrangements

Messrs. Raiford, Patton and Kelley are each a party to a written
employment agreement (the "Employment Agreements") with ENGlobal. Mr. Coskey is
not subject to an employment agreement with the Company. The Employment
Agreements provide for an annual base salary, subject to discretionary increases
by the Board of Directors, and other compensation in the form of cash bonuses,
incentive compensation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted
stock awards. Additionally, the executives receive health, life, and other
insurance benefits in accordance with the terms of the Company's benefit plans,
and the Company provides management level support services and reimbursement for
specified business expenses. Copies of Messrs. Raiford, Patton and Kelley's
Employment Agreements are on file with the SEC as Exhibits 10.37, 10.38, and
10.39, respectively, to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008.

The Employment Agreements provide for severance payments and benefits
in the case of termination of employment. If employment ends because of death,
the Company will pay any accrued but unpaid salary, additional compensation, and
other benefits earned up to that date. In the case of disability, and depending
on the executive, salary and benefits would generally be maintained by the
Company on behalf of the disabled executive for up to three or six months of
disability and for a period of three or six months following the date of
termination, and the executive would receive health and life insurance benefits
in accordance with the terms of the Company's benefit plans during that period.
At the Company's option, severance payments and full benefits may be extended
for an additional six-month period following the initial period of severance for
disability.

If the Company terminates an executive's employment for "cause," as
defined in the Employment Agreements, the Company will pay any accrued but
unpaid salary, additional compensation, and other benefits earned up to the
effective date of termination. If the Company terminates an executive's
employment without "cause," as defined in the employment agreement, the
Employment Agreements generally provide that the Company will continue to pay
him for a period of six or twelve months following the date of termination and,
at the Company's option, severance payments and full benefits may be extended
for an additional six-month period following the initial severance period. See
"Executive Compensation Tables--Severance."

The Employment Agreements include a covenant not to compete following
termination of employment for a period of up to one year as well as
confidentiality provisions as are customary in nature and scope, for such
agreements.

The terms of the Employment Agreements were set through the course of
arms-length negotiations with the executives. As part of these negotiations, the
Committee analyzed the terms of the same or similar arrangements for comparable
executives employed by some of the companies in our peer group. The Committee
used this approach in setting the amounts payable and the triggering events
under the Employment Agreements. The Employment Agreements' termination of
employment provisions were entered into in order to address competitive concerns
by providing the executives with a fixed amount of compensation that would
offset the potential risk of foregoing other opportunities. At the time of
entering into the Employment Agreements, the Committee considered ENGlobal's
aggregate potential obligations in the context of retaining the executive and
his expected compensation.

In addition, Messrs. Raiford and Patton are parties to an option pool
agreement with Alliance 2000, Ltd. ("Alliance"), a Texas limited partnership
beneficially owned and controlled by our Chief Executive Officer. Under the
option pool agreement, options to acquire shares of ENGlobal's common stock

owned by Alliance were granted to Messrs. Raiford and Patton. These options vest
and become exercisable upon a change of control of the Company. This arrangement
was entered into in connection with a merger and was intended to provide an
incentive to certain key employees to remain in the Company's service after the
merger. The Alliance option pool agreement is scheduled to expire in December
2011.

Executive Perquisites

We do not provide substantial personal benefits or perquisites. The
current Named Executive Officers (as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation
S-K) are eligible to receive an executive vehicle/auto allowance perquisite
having an annual value of up to $9,000. See "Summary Compensation Table."

Other Compensation

From time to time, we make available to employees and executives
certain other fringe benefits. We may provide club memberships, tickets to
sporting or cultural events, tickets to community events, etc. To the extent
that such items are taxable to the individual, they are considered to be part of
the individual's compensation package. Other benefits provided to our executives
are generally available to all employees, such as medical, dental, life,
short-term disability, and long-term disability insurances, personal leave
benefits, reimbursement for an annual physical exam, and Company matching
contributions to the ENGlobal Corporation 401(k) Plan as amended.

What is the role of our executives in the compensation process?

Our Chief Executive Officer has access to the internal and external
compensation information described above, including each executive's annual
performance review. Using that information, our Chief Executive Officer makes
recommendations to the Committee regarding the compensation of our other
executives. The Committee independently reviews the data and makes its own
determinations for our executives. The Committee is comprised of all of the
Non-Employee Directors; each of whom is able to provide his views of the Chief
Executive Officer's performance and compensation. The Committee has not
historically engaged or retained any outside advisors or consultants with
respect to executive or director compensation.

What are our equity and security ownership requirements?

We encourage stock ownership by executives through the use of equity
awards.

When are awards granted and base salaries approved?

Each year, the Committee approves our executives' base salaries,
payout of annual incentive awards for the prior year, and annual and long-term
incentive awards for the current year at its first regular quarterly meeting
(generally in March or April). Any awards for newly hired executives are granted
at the next regularly scheduled Committee meeting. Offers to executive
candidates are reviewed with the Committee prior to being made. Any equity
awards included in an offer are subject to the Committee's approval.

Our executives do not have any role in establishing the timing of
grants or vesting of stock options. We do not have any program, plan or practice
to time grants of equity or equity-based awards in coordination with the release
of material non-public information and we do not set grant dates to new

executives in coordination with the release of such information. We have not
timed, and do not intend to time, our release of material non-public information
for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Does the accounting and tax treatment of a particular form of compensation
impact the form and design of awards?

The Committee considers tax, tax deductibility and accounting
treatment of various compensation alternatives. However, these are not typically
driving factors. The Committee may approve non-deductible compensation
arrangements if it believes they are in the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders taking into account several factors, including our ability to
utilize the deduction based on projected taxable income.

Compensation Committee Report

The information contained in this Compensation Committee Report shall
not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or to be "filed" or incorporated by
reference in future filings with the SEC, or to be subject to the liabilities of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that we
specifically incorporate it by reference into a document filed under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Compensation Committee oversees the compensation plans, policies
and programs of ENGlobal on behalf of the Board of Directors. In performing its
oversight function, the Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed with
management the Compensation Discussion & Analysis prior to its inclusion in this
Proxy Statement. Based on these reviews and discussions, the Compensation
Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, that the
Compensation Discussion & Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

The undersigned members of the Compensation Committee have submitted

Review of and Conclusion Regarding All Components of Executive Compensation

Based on our performance during the past several years, and in light
of our executives' efforts in directing the Company, the Compensation Committee
and the Board have determined that the compensation paid to Mr. Coskey, as well
as compensation paid to our other Named Executive Officers, serves the best
interests of our stockholders and continues to emphasize programs that the
Compensation Committee and the Board believe positively affect stockholder
value.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

As of December 31, 2008, the following table discloses cash and equity
awards and other compensation earned, paid or awarded, as the case may be, to
each of the Company's Non-employee Directors during the last fiscal year.

Fees Earned or All Other
Paid in Cash Compensation
Name ($) ($)(1)(2) Total
---- --- --------- -----

Mr. Hale $36,000 $26,514.60 $62,514.60
Mr. Gent $32,000 $26,514.60 $58,514.60
Mr. Roussel $32,000 $26,514.60 $58,514.60

------------------------

(1) Amount paid in cash to Non-employee Directors on or about March 15,
2009 for director compensation earned in 2008. Represents vested
portion of 6,420 restricted stock units granted to each director on
August 8, 2008. Units vest 25% quarterly on each of September 30, 2008,
December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009, and June 14, 2009. The market
closing price on September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 were $13.27
and $3.25, respectively. The units that vested in 2008 were settled by
March 15, 2009.
(2) Represents 1,605 vested restricted stock unit awards on September 30,
2008 and 1,605 vested restricted stock unit awards on December 31, 2008
multiplied by the closing prices on those dates.

The principal objectives of our Non-employee Director compensation
programs are to: (i) compensate for time spent on the Company's behalf, (ii)
ensure long-term retention, and (iii) align the compensation programs with
long-term value to the Company's stockholders. We attempt to accomplish these
objectives in an economical manner through a combination of reasonable director
retainer fees and equity inceentive grants to the Non-employee Directors.

Retainer Fees

Our Non-employee Directors, Messrs. Gent, Hale and Roussel, receive a
retainer of $32,000 per year. Non-employee Directors are also eligible for
reimbursement of travel and other miscellaneous expenses associated with
attendance at Board of Directors and Committee meetings. The chairman of the
Audit Committee, Mr. Hale, receives an additional $4,000 per year.

Restricted Stock Unit Grants

In addition to the annual retainer, we issued grants of restricted
stock units equivalent to 6,420 shares of common stock to our Non-employee
Directors on August 8, 2008. The grants were not issued pursuant to an incentive
plan. These restricted stock units were intended to compensate and retain the
directors over the one-year service period commencing July 1, 2008. The fair
value of the awards was $93,411 per director based on the market price of $14.55
per share of the Company's stock on the date the award was granted. Upon
vesting, the units are convertible into cash based on the fair value of the
Company's shares at the vesting date or, if shareholder approval of the Plan is
obtained, into common stock at the

Company's option. The units vest in equal quarterly installments beginning on
September 30, 2008, so long as the grantee continues to serve as an independent
director of the Company. Recognition of compensation expense related to the
restricted stock units commenced in the third quarter of 2008. The units that
vested in 2008 are required to be settled by and were settled by March 15, 2009.
The remaining units are required to be settled by March 15, 2010.

The Board considers the director compensation programs to be in
conformity with industry standards and to be reasonable by comparison to
directors' compensation at the comparable companies that we used for our
evaluation of executive compensation.

AUDIT MATTERS

Report of the Audit Committee

The information contained in this Report of the Audit Committee shall
not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or to be "filed" or incorporated by
reference in future filings with the SEC, or to be subject to the liabilities of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that we
specifically incorporate it by reference into a document filed under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In accordance with its written charter, the Audit Committee assists
the Board in, among other things, oversight of our financial reporting process,
including the effectiveness of our internal accounting and financial controls
and procedures, and controls over our accounting, auditing, and financial
reporting practices. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on our
website at www.englobal.com.

The Board has determined that all three members of the Committee are
"independent" based upon the standards adopted by the Board, which incorporate
the independence requirements under applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, the
preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, our system of
internal controls, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting
standards and applicable laws and regulations. Our independent auditors are
responsible for auditing the financial statements. The Audit Committee's
responsibility is to monitor and review these processes and procedures. The
members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of
accounting or auditing and we are not professionals in those fields. The Audit
Committee relies, without independent verification, on the information provided
to us and on the representations made by management that the financial
statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and on the
representations of management and the opinion of the independent auditors that
such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

During fiscal year 2008, the Audit Committee held six meetings. The
Audit Committee's meetings were conducted so as to encourage communication among
the members of the Audit Committee, management, and our independent auditors,
Hein & Associates, LLP. Among other things, the Audit Committee discussed with
our internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for ENGlobal's
audits. The Audit Committee met separately with the independent auditors, with
and without management, to discuss the results of their examinations and their
observations and recommendations regarding our internal controls. The Audit
Committee also discussed with our independent auditors all matters required by
generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, "Communication with Audit Committees."

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed our audited consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 with
management and our independent auditors. Management's discussions with the Audit
Committee included a review of critical accounting policies.

The Audit Committee obtained from the independent auditors a formal
written statement describing all relationships between us and our auditors that
might bear on the auditors' independence consistent with the applicable
requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding
auditors' communications with audit committees concerning independence The Audit
Committee discussed with the auditors any relationships that may have an impact
on the auditors' objectivity and independence and satisfied itself as to the
auditors' independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed and approved the amount
of fees paid to Hein & Associates for audit and non-audit services. The Audit
Committee concluded that the provision of services by Hein & Associates is
compatible with the maintenance of Hein & Associates' independence.

At five of its meetings during 2008, the Audit Committee met with
members of senior management and the independent auditors to review the
certifications provided by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules and regulations of the
SEC and the overall certification process. At these meetings, Company officers
reviewed each of the Sarbanes-Oxley certification requirements concerning
internal control over financial reporting and any fraud, whether or not
material, involving management or other employees with a significant role in
internal control over financial reporting.

Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with management,
the internal auditors, and the independent auditors, and subject to the
limitations on our role and responsibilities described above and in the Audit
Committee Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors
that ENGlobal's audited consolidated financial statements be included in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, for
filing with the SEC.

Principal Auditor Fees

The Audit Committee has appointed Hein & Associates, LLP as ENGlobal's
independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
Representatives of Hein & Associates are expected to be present at the Annual
Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so,
and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by ENGlobal for the
audit and other services provided by Hein & Associates for fiscal year 2008 and
2007.

2008 2007

Audit Fees $430,344 $502,048
Audit-Related Fees -- --
Tax Fees -- --
All Other Fees -- --
-------- --------
Total $430,344 $502,048
======== ========

As defined by the SEC, (i) "audit fees" are fees for professional
services rendered by the company's principal accountant for the audit of the
company's annual financial statements and review of financial statements
included in the company's Form 10-Q, or for services that are normally provided
by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or
engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) "audit-related fees" are fees for
assurance and related services by the company's principal accountant that are
reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the company's
financial statements and are not reported under "audit fees;" (iii) "tax fees"
are fees for professional services rendered by the company's principal
accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (iv) "all other
fees" are fees for products and services provided by the company's principal
accountant, other than the services reported under "audit fees," "audit-related
fees," and "tax fees."

Under applicable SEC rules, except for the ability to designate a
portion of this responsibility as described below, the full Audit Committee is
required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the
independent auditors in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors'
independence from ENGlobal. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval
authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of
that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled
meeting. The SEC's rules specify the types of non-audit services that an
independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit
Committee's responsibility for administration of the engagement of the
independent auditors.

Consistent with the SEC's rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires
that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted
non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to ENGlobal or any of
its subsidiaries, except that the Audit Committee Chairman has the right to
approve up to $25,000 of services in any year. During 2008, all fees were
pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

OTHER MATTERS

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the directors,
there are no other matters which are to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If
such matters arise, the form of proxy provides that discretionary authority is
conferred on the designated persons in the enclosed form of proxy to vote with
respect to such matters.

The Company has received no notice of any other items to be submitted
for consideration at the Annual Meeting and, except for reports of operations
and activities by management, which are for informational purposes only and
require no approval or disapproval, and consideration of the minutes of the
preceding annual meeting for approval, which may involve technical corrections
to the text where actions taken were incorrectly recorded, but which require no
action of approval or disapproval of the subject matter, management does not
know of or contemplate any other business that will be presented for action by
the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. If any further business is properly
presented at the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will act in their
discretion on behalf of the stockholders they represent.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2010

The 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is expected to be held in June
2010. The Company must receive by January 8, 2010 any stockholder proposal
intended to be presented at the next annual meeting of stockholders for

2010 Annual Meeting is advanced or delayed more than 30 days from the date of
the 2010 Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals intended to be included in the
proxy materials for the 2010 Annual Meeting must be received by the Company

the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties
delegated by the Board to the Committee, the Administrator shall have the
authority, in its discretion to:

(ii) select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be
granted under this Plan;

(iii) determine the number of Shares to be covered by
each Award granted under this Plan;

(iv) approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the
Plan;

(v) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted under this Plan, including but
not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be
exercised (which may be based on Performance Goals or other performance
criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture or repurchase
restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the
Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

(vi) reduce, with or without Participant consent, the
exercise price of any Award to the then current Fair Market Value (or a higher
value) if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Award shall
have declined since the date the Award was granted;

(vii) institute an Exchange Program;

(viii) construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

(ix) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws and/or
qualifying for preferred tax treatment under applicable foreign tax laws;

(x) amend the terms of any outstanding Award, including
the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercise period of
Awards and accelerate the satisfaction of any vesting criteria or waiver of
forfeiture or repurchase restrictions, provided that any amendment that would
adversely affect the Participant's rights under an outstanding Award shall not
be made without the Participant's written consent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, an amendment shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights
of the Participant if the amendment causes an Incentive Stock Option to become a
Nonstatutory Stock Option or if the amendment is made to the minimum extent
necessary to avoid the adverse tax consequences of Section 409A of the Code;

(xi) allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax
obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares or cash to
be issued upon exercise or vesting of an Award that number of Shares or cash
having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld.

A-5

The Fair Market Value of any Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the

deem necessary or advisable;

(xii) authorize any person to execute on behalf of the

payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to the

designated by the Administrator can reduce compensation otherwise payable in
cash in exchange for Awards under the Plan;

(xviii) impose such restrictions, conditions or
limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any
resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any
Shares issued as a result of or under an Award, including without limitation,
(A) restrictions under an insider trading policy, and (B) restrictions as to the
use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers;

(xix) establish one or more programs under the Plan to
permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of
consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of Performance Goals or
other performance criteria, or other event that absent the election, would
entitle the Participant to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration
under an Award; and

(xx) make all other determinations that the Administrator
deems necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Administrator shall
not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Administrator.
However, the Administrator may not exercise any right or power reserved to the
Board.

(c) Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's
decisions, determinations, actions and interpretations shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Plan.

(d) Indemnification. The Company shall defend and indemnify
members of the Board, officers and Employees of the Company or of a Parent or

all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or
proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein (collectively, a "Claim"),
to which any of them is a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act
in connection with the Plan, or in connection with any Award granted under the
Plan; and (ii) all amounts required to be paid by them in settlement the Claim
(provided the settlement is approved by the Company) or required to be paid by
them in satisfaction of a judgment in any Claim. However, no person shall be
entitled to indemnification to the extent he is determined in such Claim to be
liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct. In addition,
to be entitled to indemnification, the Indemnitee must, within 30 days after
written notice of the Claim, offer the Company, in writing, the opportunity, at
the Company's expense, to defend the Claim. The right to indemnification shall
be in addition to all other rights of indemnification available to the
Indemnitee.

5. Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Stock
Appreciation Rights, Performance Units, Performance Shares, Restricted Stock
Units and Other Stock Based Awards may be granted to Service Providers.

A-6

6. Limitations.

(a) $100,000 Limitation for Incentive Stock Options. Each
Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock
Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such
designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time
by a Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and
any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as
Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock
Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The
Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Options
with respect to such Shares is granted.

(b) Special Limits for Grants of Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights. Subject to Section 15 of the Plan, the following special
limits shall apply to Shares available for Awards under the Plan:

(i) the maximum number of Shares that may be subject to
Options granted to any Service Provider in any calendar year shall equal 50%
Shares and contain an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock as of the date of grant; and

(ii) the maximum number of Shares that may be subject to
Stock Appreciation Rights granted to any Service Provider in any calendar year
shall equal 50% Shares and contain an exercise price equal to the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6(b) to the contrary, in connection
with a Participant's commencement as a Service Provider, the Participant may be
granted Options and Stock Appreciation Rights for up to an additional 10% Shares
which shall not count against the limit set forth in Sections 6(b)(i) and (ii).

7. Stock Options.

(a) Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in
the Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be
10 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the
Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a
Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock
representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive
Stock Option shall be five years from the date of grant or such shorter term as
may be provided in the Award Agreement.

(b) Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

(i) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the
Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the
Administrator, subject to the following:

(1) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time
the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of
the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(B) granted to any Employee other than an
Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise
price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of grant.

(2) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option,
the per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator, but shall
not be less than Fair Market Value for those subject to U.S. taxation. In the
case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.

A-7

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incentive
Stock Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100%
of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a
transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the
Code.

(ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an
Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the
Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be
satisfied before the Option may be exercised. The Administrator, in its sole
discretion, may accelerate the satisfaction of such conditions at any time.

(c) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine
the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the
method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator
shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such
consideration, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, may consist entirely
of:

(i) cash;

(ii) check;

(iii) promissory note;

(iv) other Shares which meet the conditions established
by the Administrator to avoid adverse accounting consequences (as determined by
the Administrator);

(v) consideration received by the Company under a
cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the
Plan;

(vi) a reduction in the amount of any Company liability
to the Participant, including any liability attributable to the Participant's
participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or
arrangement;

(vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of
payment; or

(viii) any other consideration and method of payment for
the issuance of Shares permitted by Applicable Laws.

(d) Exercise of Option.

(i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any
Option granted under this Plan shall be exercisable according to the terms of
the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the
Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option shall be deemed
exercised when the Company receives: (x) written or electronic notice of
exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to
exercise the Option, and (y) full payment for the Shares with respect to which
the Option is exercised (including provision for any applicable tax
withholding). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of
payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and
the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name
of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the
Participant and his spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights
as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Awarded Stock, notwithstanding
the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such
Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment shall be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the
Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the Plan or the
applicable Award Agreement. Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease
the number of Shares thereafter available for sale under the Option, by the
number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

A-8

(ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.
If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the
Participant's death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his Option
within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent
that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than
the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).
In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall
remain exercisable for 30 days following the Participant's termination after
which the Option shall terminate. Unless otherwise provided by the
Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to
his entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option
shall revert to the Plan. If the Participant does not exercise his Option as to
all of the vested Shares within the time specified by the Award Agreement, the
Option shall terminate, and the remaining Shares covered by the Option shall
revert to the Plan.

(iii) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases
to be a Service Provider as a result of his Disability, the Participant may
exercise his Option, to the extent vested, within the time specified in the
Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the
Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). If no time for exercise of the
Option on Disability is specified in the Award Agreement, the Option shall
remain exercisable for 12 months following the Participant's termination for
Disability. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, on the date of
termination for Disability, the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to
the Plan. If after termination for Disability, the Participant does not exercise
his Option as to all of the vested Shares within the time specified by the Award
Agreement, the Option shall terminate and the remaining Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.

(iv) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a
Service Provider, the Option, to the extent vested, may be exercised within the
time specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event may the Option be
exercised later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in
the Award Agreement), by the beneficiary designated by the Participant prior to
his death; provided that such designation must be acceptable to the
Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then
the Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant's
estate, or by the persons to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the
Participant's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.
If the Award Agreement does not specify a time within which the Option must be
exercised following a Participant's death, it shall be exercisable for 12 months
following his death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the
time of death, the Participant is not vested as to his entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the
Plan. If the Option is not exercised as to all of the vested Shares within the
time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the
remaining Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

8. Restricted Stock.

(a) Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and
provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time,
may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

(b) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock
shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of
Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions
as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Unless the
Administrator determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by
the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on the Shares have lapsed.

(c) Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in
this Section 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Award made under the
Plan shall be released from escrow as soon as practical after the last day of
the Period of Restriction. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may
accelerate the time at which any restrictions shall lapse or be removed.

(d) Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service
Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock may exercise full voting rights
with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

A-9

(e) Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of
Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be
entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to
such Shares unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. If any dividends
or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be subject to the same
restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted
Stock with respect to which they were paid.

(f) Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set
forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have
not lapsed shall revert to the Company and again shall become available for
grant under the Plan.

9. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, a SAR may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to
time as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b) Number of Shares. The Administrator shall have complete
discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Service Provider.

(c) Exercise Price, Exercisability and Other Terms. The
Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete
discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan,
including the sole discretion to accelerate exercisability at any time.

(d) SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an
Award Agreement that shall specify the exercise price, the term, the conditions
of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, shall determine.

(e) Expiration of SARs. An SAR granted under the Plan shall
expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion,
and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules
of Sections 7(d)(ii), 7(d)(iii) and 7(d)(iv) also shall apply to SARs.

(f) Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of an SAR, a
Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount
determined by multiplying:

(i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a
Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times

(ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR
is exercised.

At the sole discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon the
exercise of an SAR may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some
combination thereof.

10. Performance Units and Performance Shares.

(a) Grant of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Units and Performance
Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as
shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The
Administrator shall have complete discretion in determining the number of
Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.

(b) Value of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Each
Performance Unit shall have an initial value established by the Administrator on
or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value
equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.

A-10

(c) Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator
shall set Performance Goals or other performance objectives in its sole
discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, shall determine
the number or value of Performance Units and Performance Shares that shall be
paid out to the Participant. Each Award of Performance Units or Performance
Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the
Performance Period and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in
its sole discretion, shall determine. The Administrator may set Performance
Goals or performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide,
divisional, or individual goals (including solely continued service), applicable
federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the
Administrator in its sole discretion.

(d) Earning of Performance Units and Performance Shares. After
the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units or
Performance Shares shall be entitled to receive a payout of the number of
Performance Units or Performance Shares earned by the Participant over the
Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the
corresponding Performance Goals or performance objectives have been achieved.
After the grant of Performance Units or Performance Shares, the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives for the
Performance Unit or Performance Share.

(e) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units and
Performance Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units and Performance Shares
shall be made after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period at the
time determined by the Administrator. The Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may pay earned Performance Units and Performance Shares in the form of cash, in
Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the
earned Performance Units or Performance Shares, as applicable, at the close of
the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination of cash and Shares.

(f) Cancellation of Performance Units or Performance Shares.
On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested
Performance Units and Performance Shares shall be forfeited to the Company, and
again shall be available for grant under the Plan.

11. Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units shall consist of a
Restricted Stock, Performance Share or Performance Unit Award that the
Administrator, in its sole discretion permits to be paid out in a lump sum,
installments or on a deferred basis, in accordance with rules and procedures
established by the Administrator

12. Other Stock Based Awards. Other Stock Based Awards may be granted
either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, other Awards granted under the
Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. The Administrator shall have
authority to determine the Service Providers to whom and the time or times at
which Other Stock Based Awards shall be made, the amount of such Other Stock
Based Awards, and all other conditions of the Other Stock Based Awards,
including any dividend or voting rights.

13. Leaves of Absence. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise,
vesting of Awards granted under this Plan shall be suspended during any unpaid
leave of absence and shall resume on the date the Participant returns to work on
a regular schedule as determined by the Company; provided, however, that no
vesting credit shall be awarded for the time vesting has been suspended during
such leave of absence. A Service Provider shall not cease to be an Employee in
the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers
between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any
Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no leave of absence may
exceed 90 days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed
by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence
approved by the Company is not guaranteed by statute or contract, then at the
end of three months following the expiration of the leave of absence, any
Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant shall cease to be treated as an
Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory
Stock Option.

14. Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the
Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by shall or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award
transferable, such Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.

A-11

15. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control.

(a) Adjustments. If the Administrator determines, in its sole
judgment, that as a result of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the
form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), or as a result of
any change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares
(including any recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company), an
adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the
benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan,
then the Administrator shall, in the manner it deems equitable, adjust the
number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, the number,
class and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, the number and class of
Shares issuable pursuant to Options, and the numerical limits in Sections 3 and
6(b). Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of Shares subject to any Award
always shall be a whole number.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Participant as soon as practical prior to the effective date of the proposed
transaction. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide for a
Participant to have the right to exercise his Award, to the extent applicable,
until 10 days prior to the transaction as to all of the Awarded Stock covered
thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be
exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company
repurchase option or forfeiture rights applicable to any Award shall lapse 100%,
and that any Award vesting shall accelerate 100%, provided the proposed
dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner
contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or vested, an
Award shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
action.

(i) Stock Options and SARs. In the event of a Change in
Control, each outstanding Option and SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent
option or SAR substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary
of the successor corporation. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator,
if the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or
SAR, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the
Option or SAR as to all of the Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which it
would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or SAR is not assumed
or substituted on the Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the
Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or SAR shall be
exercisable, to the extent vested, for a period of up to 15 days from the date
of such notice, and the Option or SAR shall terminate upon the expiration of
such period. For the purposes of this Section 15(c)(i), the Option or SAR shall
be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the option or SAR
confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Awarded Stock
subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to the Change in Control, the
consideration (whether securities, cash, or property) received in the Change in
Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of
the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type
of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares).
However, if the consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may,
with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to
be received upon the exercise of the Option or SAR, for each share of Awarded
Stock subject to the Option or SAR, to be solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, an Award that vests, is
earned, or is paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance
objectives shall not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor
modifies any of the performance objectives without the Participant's consent;
provided, however, a modification to performance objectives only to reflect the
successor corporation's post-Change in Control corporate structure shall not be
deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

(ii) Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance
Units, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock Based Awards. In the event of a
Change in Control, each outstanding Award of Restricted Stock, Performance
Share, Performance Unit, Other Stock Based Award and Restricted Stock Unit shall
be assumed or an equivalent Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance
Unit, Other Stock Based Award and Restricted Stock Unit award substituted by the
successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.
Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, if the successor corporation

A-12

refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant shall fully vest
in the Award, including as to Shares or Units that would not otherwise be
vested, all applicable restrictions shall lapse, and all performance objectives
and other vesting criteria shall be deemed achieved at targeted levels. For the
purposes of this Section 15(c)(ii), an Award of Restricted Stock, Performance
Shares, Performance Units, Other Stock Based Awards and Restricted Stock Units
shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the award
confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award
immediately prior to the Change in Control (and if a Restricted Stock Unit or
Performance Unit, for each Share as determined based on the then current value
of the unit), the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or
property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each
Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered
a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Shares). However, if the consideration received in
the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor
corporation, provide that the consideration to be received for each Share (and
if a Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Unit, for each Share as determined
based on the then current value of the unit) be solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, an Award that vests, is
earned, or is paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance
objectives shall not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor
modifies any of the performance objectives without the Participant's consent;
provided, however, a modification to the performance objectives only to reflect
the successor corporation's post-Change in Control corporate structure shall not
be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

(iii) Outside Director Awards. Notwithstanding any
provision of Sections 15(c)(i) or 15(c)(ii) to the contrary, with respect to
Awards granted to an Outside Director that are assumed or substituted for, if on
the date of or following the assumption or substitution, the Participant's
status as a Director or a director of the successor corporation, as applicable,
is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant, then
the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise his Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights as to all of the Award, including Shares as to
which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, and all
restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, as applicable,
shall lapse, and, with respect to Performance Shares, Performance Units, and
Other Stock Based Awards, all performance goals and other vesting criteria shall
be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met.

16. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award shall be, for all
purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting
such Award, or a later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the
determination shall be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time
after the date of such grant.

17. Stockholder Approval and Term of Plan. The Plan became effective on
June 18, 2009 and thereafter shall continue in effect for a term of 10 years
unless terminated earlier under Section 18 of the Plan.

18. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time
amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder
approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable
Laws.

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment,
alteration, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall materially or adversely
impair the rights of any Participant, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by
the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and
signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not
affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it under
this Plan with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of
termination.

A-13

19. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to
the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of the Award and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise
or receipt of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising or
receiving the Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or
receipt that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any
present intention to sell or distribute the Shares if, in the opinion of counsel
for the Company, such a representation is required.

(c) Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any
Participant or other person until the Participant or other person has made
arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any
non-U.S., U.S.-federal, U.S.-state, or local income and employment tax
withholding obligations, including, without limitation, obligations incident to
the receipt of Shares. Upon exercise or vesting of an Award, the Company shall
withhold or collect from the Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such
tax obligations, including, but not limited to, by surrender of the whole number
of Shares covered by the Award sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable tax
withholding obligations incident to the exercise or vesting of an Award.

20. Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or
an Award to the contrary, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part
thereof) of this Plan or the Awards shall be held invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it
valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of
the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan or Award, as
applicable, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

21. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.

22. No Rights to Awards. No eligible Service Provider or other person
shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither
the Company nor the Administrator shall be obligated to treat Participants or
any other person uniformly.

23. No Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided in an Award
Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with
respect to Shares covered by an Award until the Participant becomes the record
owner of the Shares.

24. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the
Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether cash shall be
given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be
eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.

25. Governing Law. The Plan, all Award Agreements, and all related
matters, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to
choice of law principles that direct the application of the laws of another
state. However, the Nevada Revised Corporate Statutes shall govern any matter
relating to the operation of Nevada corporations.

26. No Effect on Terms of Employment or Consulting Relationship. The
Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right as a Service Provider, nor
shall it interfere in any way with his right or the right of the Company or a
Parent or Subsidiary to terminate the Participant's service at any time, with or
without cause, and with or without notice.

27. Unfunded Obligation. Participants shall have the status of general
unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant
to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes,
including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Parent or
Subsidiary shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or
to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such
obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any

A-14

investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill
its payment obligations under this Plan. Any investments or the creation or
maintenance of any trust for any Participant account shall not create or
constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary and Participant, or otherwise create any
vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant's creditors
in any assets of the Company or Parent or Subsidiary. The Participants shall
have no claim against the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary for any changes in
the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the company with
respect to the Plan.

28. Section 409A. It is the intention of the Company that no Award
shall be "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless and
to the extent that the Administrator specifically determines otherwise, and the
Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted
accordingly. The following rules shall apply to Awards intended to be subject to
Section 409A of the Code ("409A Awards"):

(a) Any distribution of a 409A Award following a separation
from service that would be subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code as a
distribution following a separation from service of a "specified employee" (as
defined under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) shall occur no earlier than
the expiration of the six-month period following such separation from service.

(b) In the case of a 409A Award providing for distribution or
settlement upon vesting or lapse of a risk of forfeiture, if the time of such
distribution or settlement is not otherwise specified in the Plan or Award
Agreement or other governing document, the distribution or settlement shall be
made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which such 409A Award vested or the risk of forfeiture lapsed.

(c) In the case of any distribution of any other 409A Award,
if the timing of such distribution is not otherwise specified in the Plan or
Award Agreement or other governing document, the distribution shall be made not
later than the end of the calendar year during which the settlement of the 409A
Award is specified to occur.

29. Construction. Headings in this Plan are included for convenience
and shall not be considered in the interpretation of the Plan. References to
sections are to Sections of this Plan unless otherwise indicated. Pronouns shall
be construed to include the masculine, feminine, neutral, singular or plural as
the identity of the antecedent may require. This Plan shall be construed
according to its fair meaning and shall not be strictly construed against the
Company.
