of, the effective date of this Agreement.

Broady agrees that he will not make any disparaging remarks, or otherwise take
any action that could reasonably be anticipated to cause material damage to the
reputation and goodwill of, or otherwise negatively reflect upon, ABCX, its
employees, officers, agents, shareholders or directors.

         5. RELEASE BY ABCX OF BROADY. For and in consideration of the foregoing
release by Broady and the other good and valuable consideration that is set

employment with ABCX. This Release is intended to and shall inure to the benefit
of Broady, as well as all of his successors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ABCX
do not release any claims against Broady that may later arise based on his
breach of any term or representation that is expressly set forth in this
Agreement.

         6. NO PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENT. The parties warrant and represent that
before the Effective Date of this Agreement, none of them has sold, assigned,
granted or otherwise transferred any claim, cause of action, right, privilege,

consideration or inducement that is not specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In this regard, all parties represent and warrant that, in entering
into this Agreement, they are each relying solely and exclusively on the
statements that are expressly set forth in this Agreement, and that they are
under no duress, coercion or pressure from any source.

         8. INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT. ABCX and Broady are each relying on their own
independent business judgment in deciding to enter into this Agreement. Further,
the parties have each received, and are relying and acting upon the advice of
their own legal counsel, who has reviewed the terms and language of this
Agreement with them and advised them of their legal rights relating to their
decision to settle and compromise their disputes, claims and potential claims,
causes of action, losses, damages and demands. Each of the parties understands
that this Agreement shall operate as a full, complete and final release and
settlement of any and all of their claims, as set forth above.

         9. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part,
those provisions to the extent enforceable and all other provisions shall
nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or
unenforceable parts had not been included in this Agreement. In the event that
any provision relating to the time period or scope of restriction shall be
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period
or scope such court deems reasonable and enforceable, then the time period or
scope of restriction deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall become
and shall thereafter be the maximum time period.

         10. GOVERNING LAW; ATTORNEYS FEES. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. ALL LEGAL ACTIONS
ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN, AND BOTH ABCX AND BROADY
CONSENT TO JURISDICTION IN, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. IN

THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT, THE PREVAILING PARTY
SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ITS REASONABLE LEGAL FEES, COURT COSTS AND
EXPENSES.

         11. AGREEMENT, READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND FAIR. Broady has carefully read
and considered all provisions of this Agreement and agrees that all of the
restrictions set forth are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for
the protection of the interests of ABCX.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned parties have executed this Agreement
to be effective as of the Effective Date.
