paid vacation per calendar  year,  pro-rated  with respect to the portion of the
year in which employment  commenced with the Company, in each case in accordance
with Company general policies regarding vacations.  A maximum of one week of any
accrued  but  untaken  vacation  may be carried  over and used up to nine months
after the year in which accrued,  but not thereafter.  No compensation  shall be
paid for accrued but untaken vacation.

            (g) Director & Officers  (D&O)  Insurance  Coverage.  The  Executive
shall be  entitled  to be a named  insured  under the  Company's  D&O  Insurance
coverage.  The Executive's D&O Insurance  coverage will be  non-rescindable  and
will require that the insurance  carrier reimburse the Executive for any defense
costs  incurred by the Executive  within 30 days following  notification  by the
Executive to the  insurance  carrier of such  incurred  defense  costs.  The D&O
Insurance  policy will not contain a co-insurance  provision.  The D&O Insurance
policy will not contain any exclusions  denying coverage to the Executive unless
there was "in  fact"  wrongful  conduct  on the part of the  Executive.  The D&O
Insurance policy will contain severability  language stating that conduct of any
officer or director of the Company  will not be imputed to any other  officer or
director.  The D&O insurance policy will not contain any language that would bar
coverage for any claim  "brought by an Insured  Organization".  The Company will
retain  outside  legal  counsel to review  that the D&O  insurance  policy is in
compliance with the above provisions.  The Company will obtain for the Executive
the above D&O Insurance  coverage  within 30 days  following the signing of this
Agreement  and the Company will  completely  indemnify the Executive for any and
all defense costs until the D&O coverage for the Executive is in place.

affiliates for any purpose other than in connection  with his performance of his
duties to the Company.

            5.  Return  of  Documents  and  Property.  Upon  the  expiration  or

            6.  Discoveries  and  Works.  All  Discoveries  and  Works  made  or
conceived by the Executive during his employment by the Company, solely, jointly

(b)  renounce  any and all  claims,  including  but not  limited  to  claims  of
ownership and royalty,  with respect to all  Discoveries and Works and all other
property  owned or licensed by the Company,  (c) assist the Company in obtaining

amended 17 U.S.C. Sect. 101.

terminate this  Agreement,  with or without cause,  only in accordance  with the
provisions of this Section 7.

            (b) Termination  Without Cause. During the Employment Period, if the
Company  terminates  this Agreement  other than for cause,  the Executive  shall

the date of notice of such  date,  plus  payment  of any and all bonus  payments
payable as of such date, and,  subject to the terms and conditions of the option
agreement  summarized in Exhibit A, all of such equity instruments that would by

termination  other than for cause,  shall remain so vested and  exercisable  and
non-forfeitable  by the Executive  (but in no event beyond the expiration of the
stated term of such  instrument),  and all of such  payments and vesting of such
equity  instruments shall completely and fully discharge any and all obligations
and liabilities of the Company to the Executive with respect to this Agreement.

            (c) Termination for Cause.  The Company may terminate this Agreement
for cause at any time during the Employment  Period  effective  immediately upon
giving written  notice of  termination  to the  Executive.  For purposes of this
Agreement,  "cause" shall mean,  with respect to the  Executive,  (i) any act of
fraud or  dishonesty,  willful  misconduct or negligence in connection  with the
Executive's duties, (ii) a breach by the Executive of any provision hereof or of
any  contractual  or legal  fiduciary  duty to the Company  (including,  but not

general assignment of the Executive's assets to his creditors.

            (d)  Termination  by Executive.  The  Executive  may terminate  this
Agreement  with or  without  cause  at any time  during  the  Employment  Period
effective  immediately upon giving written notice of termination to the Company.
For purposes of this Agreement,  with respect to the Company, "cause" shall mean
the failure to pay any amounts due Executive hereunder (and not disputed in good
faith by the Company) within two months after their due date.

            (e) Effect of Termination.  Except as otherwise  provided herein, in
the event this Agreement is terminated, the Executive's rights and the Company's
obligations  hereunder shall cease as of the effective date of the  termination,
including,  without limitation,  the right to receive Base Salary, bonus and all
other  compensation,   expense  allowance  or  benefits  provided  for  in  this
Agreement,  and the Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation,
expense allowance,  benefits,  or severance  compensation of any kind, and shall

compensation  under this  Agreement  or  otherwise  against  the  Company or its
subsidiaries and affiliates,  from and after the date of such  termination.  For
purposes  of  clarity,  in the  event of a  termination  of this  Agreement  the
Executive  shall not be  entitled  to any  bonus  other  than any bonus  payable

termination,  in lieu of the payment specified in Section 7(b) above, a lump sum
payment  equivalent to twelve (12) months salary,  plus reimbursement of any and

instruments  granted  therein  shall  fully  and  irrevocably  vest  and  become
exercisable and/or  non-forfeitable by the Executive until the first anniversary
of the  termination of the  Executive's  employment  (but in no event beyond the
expiration of the stated term of such instrument),  and all of such payments and
vesting of equity  instruments  shall completely and fully discharge any and all
obligations and liabilities of the Company to the Executive with respect to this
Agreement.

acquires  beneficial  ownership of such Shares  directly  from the Company;  (b)
assumes  beneficial  ownership of more than the  permitted  percentage of Shares
solely as a result of the  acquisition of beneficial  ownership of Shares by the
Company which, by reducing the  proportional  beneficial  ownership of Shares by
other  security  holders,  increases the  proportional  beneficial  ownership of
Shares by such  person;  or (c) is (1) the Company or any  corporation  or other
person of which a majority  of its  voting  power or its  equity  securities  or
equity  interest is owned  directly or indirectly by the Company (a  "Controlled

in the same proportion as their beneficial  ownership of Shares or (2) a trustee
or other fiduciary  holding  securities under one or more employee benefit plans
or arrangements (or any trust forming a part thereof)  maintained by the Company
or any Controlled Entity.

            (j) For  purposes  of  clarity  and  notwithstanding  the  foregoing
provisions of this Section 7, the  termination  of the  Employment  Term of this
Agreement in accordance  with ordinary  termination  of this  Agreement  without
renewal shall not be deemed to be a termination  which requires any supplemental
payments,  compensation,  consideration or remuneration of any nature to be paid
to the Executive as a function of such termination.

            8. Disability; Death.

            (a) If,  prior  to the  expiration  of the  Employment  Period,  the
Executive shall be unable to perform his duties  hereunder by reason of physical
or mental  disability  for at least thirty (30)  consecutive  calendar days, the
Company  shall have the right to terminate  this  Agreement and the remainder of
the Employment  Period by giving written notice to the Executive to that effect.
Immediately  upon  the  giving  of such  notice,  the  Employment  Period  shall
terminate.

            (b) Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a), the
Executive  shall (i) be paid his Base  Salary  and bonus  (if any)  through  the
effective date of such termination. All other compensation and benefits provided
for in Section 3 of this  Agreement  shall  cease upon  termination  pursuant to
Section 8(a).

            (c) In the  event  of a  dispute  as to  whether  the  Executive  is
disabled within the meaning of Section 8(a),  either party may from time to time
request a medical  examination  of the  Executive  by a doctor  appointed by the
Chief of Staff of a hospital selected by mutual agreement of the parties,  or as
the parties may otherwise  agree, and the written medical opinion of such doctor
shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties as to whether the Executive has
become  disabled and the date when such disability  arose.  The cost of any such
medical examination shall be borne by the requesting party.

            (d) If,  prior to the  expiration  of the  Employment  Period or the
termination of this Agreement,  the Executive shall die, the Executive's  estate
shall be paid his Base Salary and a pro rated  portion of his bonus (if any) and
other  compensation or expense allowance then due. Any bonus payable pursuant to
this  Section 8(c) shall be payable on the first bonus  payment  date  following
such  termination.  Except as otherwise  provided in this Section 8(d), upon the
death of the Executive,  the Employment  Period shall terminate  without further
notice and the Company shall have no further obligations  hereunder,  including,
without limitation,  obligations with respect to compensation, expense allowance
and  benefits  provided  for in Section 3 of this  Agreement,  other than as set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

            (e)  Any  termination  under  this  Section  8  is  subject  to  the
provisions of Section 18 hereof.

            9. No Conflicts. The Executive has represented and hereby represents
to the Company and its affiliates  that the execution,  delivery and performance
by the Executive of this Agreement do not conflict with or result in a violation
or breach of, or constitute  (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a
default under any contract, agreement or understanding, whether oral or written,
to which  the  Executive  is a party or of which the  Executive  is or should be
aware and that there are no restrictions,  covenants,  agreements or limitations
on his right or ability to enter into and perform  the terms of this  Agreement,
and agrees to indemnify  and save the Company and its  affiliates  harmless from
any liability, cost or expense, including attorney's fees, based upon or arising
out of any such restrictions,  covenants, agreements, or limitations that may be
found to exist.

            For purposes of this Agreement, "affiliate" shall include any person
or entity directly or indirectly controlled by or controlling the Company.

            10. Non-competition. Except as authorized by the Board of Directors,
during the Engagement Period Executive will not (except as an officer, director,
stockholder,  employee,  agent or consultant of the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate thereof)  directly,  own, manage,  operate,  join, or have a financial
interest in, control or participate in the ownership,  management,  operation or
control of, or be employed as an employee, agent or consultant,  or in any other
individual  or  representative  capacity for any business  which is directly and
geographically competitive within a 25 mile radius of any business carried on or
planned  to be  carried  on by  the  Company  or  any  of  its  subsidiaries  or
affiliates.

            11.  Non-Solicitation.  During the Restricted Period, the Executive,
directly or indirectly,  whether for his account or for the account of any other
individual  or  entity,  shall not  solicit or canvas  the  trade,  business  or
patronage of, or sell to, any individuals or entities that were either customers
of the Company  during the time the  Executive  was employed by the Company,  or
prospective  customers  with  respect to whom a sales  effort,  presentation  or
proposal was made by the Company or its  affiliates,  during the one year period
prior to the  termination or expiration of this  Agreement,  as the case may be.
The Executive  further agrees that during the Restricted  Period,  he shall not,
directly or indirectly,  (i) solicit,  induce, enter into any agreement with, or
attempt to influence  any  individual  who was an employee or  consultant of the
Company at any time during the time the  Executive  was employed by the Company,
to terminate his or her  employment  relationship  with the Company or to become
employed by the Executive or any  individual or entity by which the Executive is
employed  or (ii)  interfere  in any  other  way with the  employment,  or other
relationship, of any employee or consultant of the Company or its affiliates.

            12.  Enforcement.  The  Executive  agrees  that  any  breach  of the
provisions  of Sections 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11 hereof  would cause  substantial  and
irreparable harm, not readily ascertainable or compensable in terms of money, to
the Company for which  remedies at law would be inadequate and that, in addition
to any other  remedy to which the  Company  may be entitled at law or in equity,
the Company shall be entitled to  temporary,  preliminary  and other  injunctive
relief  in the  event  the  Executive  violates  or  threatens  to  violate  the
provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, 10 or 11 hereof, as well as damages,  including,
without limitation  consequential  damages,  and an equitable  accounting of all
earnings, profits and benefits arising from such violation, in each case without
the need to post  any  security  or  bond.  Nothing  herein  contained  shall be
construed as  prohibiting  the Company  from  pursuing,  in addition,  any other
remedies available to the Company for such breach or threatened breach. A waiver
by the  Company of any breach of any  provision  hereof  shall not operate or be
construed as a waiver of a breach of any other provision of this Agreement or of
any subsequent breach by the Executive.

with  applicable  law,  the  certificate  of  incorporation  and  by-laws of the

assigns,  and any company with which the Company may merge or  consolidate or to
which the Company may sell  substantially all of its assets,  and (ii) Executive
and his executors,  administrators,  heirs and legal representatives.  Since the
Executive's  services are personal and unique in nature,  the  Executive may not

although the Company and the Executive  consider the  restrictions  contained in
this  Agreement to be reasonable and necessary for the purpose of preserving the
goodwill,  proprietary rights and going concern value of the Company, if a final
judicial  determination  is  made  by  a  court  having  jurisdiction  that  any
restriction  contained in this  Agreement  is invalid,  the  provisions  of this
Agreement  shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to
such  maximum  time and  territory  and to such  other  extent as such court may
judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable.  Alternatively,  if the court
referred to above finds that any restriction  contained in this Agreement or any
remedy provided herein is  unenforceable,  and such restriction or remedy cannot
be  amended  so as to make it  enforceable,  such  finding  shall not affect the
enforceability  of  any of  the  other  restrictions  contained  therein  or the
availability  of any other remedy.  The provisions of this Agreement shall in no

            (a) This Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the  domestic  laws of the State of  Nevada  without  giving  effect to any
choice of law or  conflict  of law  provision  or rule  (whether of the State of
Nevada or any other  jurisdiction)  that would cause the application of the laws
of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada.

            (b) The parties  hereto agree to submit to  arbitration  any and all
matters  in  dispute  or in  controversy  among  them  concerning  the terms and
provisions  of this  Agreement.  All such  disputes and  controversies  shall be
determined and adjudged by the decision of an arbitrator  (hereinafter sometimes
called the  "Arbitrator")  selected by mutual agreement of the parties hereto or
if the parties hereto fail to reach agreement on the Arbitrator  within ten days
after a party  has  notified  the  other of its  interest  to submit a matter to
arbitration,  the  Arbitrator  shall be  selected  by the  American  Arbitration
Association  upon  application  made  to it for  such  purpose  by the  parties.
Arbitration shall take place in Dallas, Texas or such other place as the parties
hereto may agree in writing. The Arbitrator shall reach and render a decision in
writing with respect to the amount,  if any, of payment  respecting the disputed
matter.  The  arbitration  proceedings  shall  be held in  accordance  with  the
applicable  rules of the American  Arbitration  Association.  Any award rendered
shall be final and  conclusive  upon the parties and  adjudgment  thereon may be
entered  in  the  highest  court  of  the  forum,   state  or  federal,   having
jurisdiction.  The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator  and the respective  fees
and  expenses  of the parties  hereto in  connection  with any such  arbitration
(including,  without  limitation,  reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel
and  consultants)  shall be paid by the party  against  whom a  decision  by the
Arbitrator is rendered.
