<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">(TGC
Industries,&nbsp;Inc.)</font></b></p>

<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">THIS AGREEMENT is made to be effective the 26th day of August, 2005,
between <b><font style="font-weight:bold;">TGC Industries,&nbsp;Inc.</font></b>,
a Texas corporation (the &#147;<i><font style="font-style:italic;">Company</font></i>&#148;),
and &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
(&#147;<i><font style="font-style:italic;">Indemnitee</font></i>&#148;).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Competent and experienced persons are becoming more reluctant to serve
as directors and/or officers of corporations unless they are provided with
adequate protection against claims and actions against them for their
activities on behalf or at the request of such corporations, generally through
insurance and/or indemnification.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Uncertainties in the interpretations of the statutes and regulations,
laws, and public policies relating to indemnification of corporate directors
and officers are such as to make adequate, reliable assessment of the risks to
which directors and officers of such corporations may be exposed difficult,
particularly in light of the proliferation of lawsuits against directors and
officers generally.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board of Directors of the Company, based upon its business
experience, has concluded that the continuation of present trends in litigation
against corporate directors and officers will inevitably make it more difficult
for the Company to attract and retain directors and officers of the highest degree
of competence committed to the active and effective direction and supervision
of the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates
and the operation of its and their facilities. In fact, the Board deems such
potential adverse consequences to be so detrimental to the best interests of
the Company that it has concluded that the Company should act to provide its
directors and officers with enhanced protection against inordinate risks
attendant on their positions in order to assure that the most capable persons
otherwise available will be attracted to, or will remain in, such positions. In
such connection, such directors have further concluded that it is not only
reasonable and prudent but necessary for the Company to obligate itself
contractually to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
financial responsibility for expenses and liabilities which might be incurred
by such individuals in connection with claims lodged against them for their
decisions and actions in such capacities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Article&nbsp;2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act of the State
of Texas, under which law the Company is organized, empowers a corporation
organized in Texas to indemnify persons who serve as directors and/or officers
of the corporation, or persons who serve at the request of the corporation as
directors and/or officers of an affiliated corporation, and further empowers a
corporation to <i><font style="font-style:italic;">&#147;purchase and maintain
insurance&#148;</font></i> on behalf of any such person <i><font style="font-style:italic;">&#147;against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such
a capacity or arising out of his status as such a person, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under
this [Article].&#148;</font></i></font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company permit
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company is aware of the fact that it currently has, and from time
to time in the future may have, directors and officers insurance coverage.&#160; However, the Company is also aware of the
fact that, even though such insurance coverage may be in effect, the current
insurance policy has, and any future insurance policies are likely to have,
significant exclusions and limitations that leave the insureds personally exposed.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company desires to have the Indemnitee serve or continue to serve
as a director and/or officer of the Company, and/or as a director, officer,
employee, partner, trustee, agent, and/or fiduciary of such other corporations,
partnerships, joint ventures, employee benefit plans, trusts, and/or other
enterprises (herein referred to as &#147;Company Affiliate&#148;) of which he has been or
is serving, or will serve on behalf of or at the request of or for the
convenience of, or to represent the interests of the Company, free from undue
concern for unpredictable, inappropriate, or unreasonable claims for damages by
reason of his being, or having been, a director and/or officer of the Company,
and/or a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee, agent, and/or fiduciary
of a Company Affiliate, or by reason of his decisions or actions on their
behalf.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, or to take
on additional service for, the Company and/or the Company Affiliate in such
aforesaid capacities on the condition that he be indemnified as provided for
herein.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and the covenants

to the best of his ability so long as he is duly elected and qualified in

further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing).</p>

after receipt of such statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount said
statement shows to be due from Tenant. Tenant shall be responsible for paying
all taxes upon Tenant&#146;s furniture, machinery, fixtures and other property on the
Project. Landlord shall have the right to employ a tax consulting firm to
attempt to assure a fair tax burden on the Premises within the applicable
taxing jurisdiction. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand from time to
time, as Additional Rent, Tenant&#146;s Proportionate Rate Share of the cost of such
service. Tenant acknowledges that the Building is a multi-tenant facility, that
any filing of a protest of appraised value by Tenant will give the appraisal
district discretion to increase or decrease the appraised value, that an
increase in the appraised value will affect Landlord and the other tenants of
the Building, and that an increase in the appraised value may increase the
taxes not only for the year in question
but for future years, potentially beyond expiration of the Term. Accordingly,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Tenant hereby waives the provisions
of Section&nbsp;41.413 of the Texas Property Tax Code (or successor thereto) to
protest the appraised value of the Project or any portion thereof. In the
alternative, if Section&nbsp;41.413 of the Texas Property Tax Code may
not be waived, Tenant agrees not to protest any valuation unless Tenant
notifies Landlord in writing of Tenants intent so to protest and Landlord fails
to file a protest of the valuation within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives
Tenant&#146;s written notice. If Tenant files a protest without giving written
notice required by the preceding sentence, such filing shall be an event of
default under this Lease without the necessity of any notice from Landlord. Furthermore,
if Tenant exercises the right of protest granted by Section&nbsp;41.413 of the
Texas Property Tax Code, Tenant shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay, all costs of such protest. If as
a result of any protest filed by Tenant, the appraised value of the Building or
Project is increased, Tenant shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay upon demand by Landlord,

anything in this Lease to the contrary, to the extent that and so long as the
same is permitted under the laws and regulations governing the writing of
insurance within the State of Texas, all insurance carried by either Landlord
or Tenant shall provide for a waiver of rights of subrogation against Landlord

provided herein, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of
recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the other, its agents,
officers, or employees, for any loss or damage to property or any injuries to
or death of any person which is covered or would have been covered under the

OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE FAULT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTUOUS CONDUCT, ACTS OR

or damages in excess of actual

maximum of $10,000) applicable under any policy obtained by the waiving party. The
failure of either party (as used in this paragraph, the &#147;defaulting party&#148;) to
take our or maintain any insurance policy required under this Lease shall be a

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">by Landlord shall be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
assignment or transfer, lien or encumbrance, sublease or occupancy. Any
assignment or transfer, grant of lien or encumbrance, or occupancy without
Landlord&#146;s prior written consent shall be void. Landlord shall be reimbursed by
Tenant for any costs or expenses incurred as a result of Tenant&#146;s request for
consent to any such assignment or subletting, including reasonable legal costs.
In the event Tenant subleases the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, or
assigns this Lease with the consent of the Landlord at an annual Base Rent
exceeding that stated herein, fifty percent (50%) of such excess shall be paid
by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder within ten (10)&nbsp;days
after receipt by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant
under this Lease, if all or any part of the Leased Premises is the assigned or
sublet, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided by this Lease
or provided by law, collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all rents
due to Tenant. To secure payment of such sums, Landlord shall have a security
interest in and a landlord&#146;s lien on all property on the Leased Premises. Any
collection directly by Landlord from the assignee or subtenant shall not be
construed, however, to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the
further performance of its obligations under this Lease. For the purpose of
this <b><font style="font-weight:bold;">Section&nbsp;11</font></b>, a &#147;transfer&#148; shall
include the transfer, assignment or encumbrance of any controlling interest in
Tenant. Notwithstanding the above prohibitions, Tenant may, upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Landlord, assign this Lease to a surviving entity
following Tenant&#146;s merger therein (so long as the surviving entity has a
financial, Tangible Net Worth equal to or greater than Tenant&#146;s Tangible Net
Worth immediately prior to such merger) or sublet the Leased Premises or any
part thereof to its parent corporation or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries
or an &#147;affiliate&#148;; however, no assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant or
any guarantor of this Lease of its respective obligations under this Lease or
any guaranty, and Tenant shall continue to be liable as a principal (and not as
a guarantor or surety) to the same extent as though no assignment or subletting
had been made. Any assignment or sublease effected pursuant to the preceding
sentence is hereinafter referred to as a &#147;Permitted Transfer&#148;. As used herein,
an &#147;affiliate&#148; is an entity that &#147;controls&#148;, &#147;is controlled by&#148; or &#147;is under

shall pay the reasonable cost thereof to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent.
Landlord shall retain duplicate keys to all doors of the Leased Premises and
Landlord and its agents, employees and independent contractors shall have the
right to enter the Leased Premises at reasonable hours to inspect and examine
same, to make repairs, additions, alterations and improvements, to exhibit the
Leased Premises to Mortgagees, prospective Mortgagees, purchasers or tenants,
