8. TRADE SECRETS.  Employee  acknowledges  that, in the course of performing the
duties  described  herein,  he shall have  access to and may be  entrusted  with
certain  information   pertaining  to  the  present  and  contemplated  business
activities of the Company.  Employee  acknowledges  that this  information is of
great value and necessary for Employee to perform his services effectively,  and
that the disclosure of such  information to any other party would be detrimental
to the  interests of the Company,  which  information  includes,  but may not be
limited to, all files,  records,  documents,  training and operational  manuals,
research,   policies,  plans,  systems,  lists,  charts,  names,  addresses  and
telephone  numbers  of  clients  of the  Company,  compilations  of  information
relating to the business of the Company,  whether said information was generated
by a third party or by the Company , and similar items  relating to the business
of the Company,  whether  prepared by Employee during the term of this Agreement
or otherwise coming into his possession ("Trade Secrets"). Employee acknowledges
and agrees with the  Company  that such Trade  Secrets are the sole  proprietary
information  of the Company  and shall be treated by  Employee  as  confidential
information  of the  Company,  and that none of said Trade  Secrets or the facts
contained therein shall be transmitted verbally or in writing by Employee except
in the  ordinary  course  of  conducting  business  for  the  Company.  Employee
covenants and agrees with the Company that he will not,  during the term of this
Agreement,  disclose  such Trade  Secrets  to any person or entity,  nor use the
Trade Secrets  other than as may  reasonably be required in the normal course of
employment under this Agreement; and that he will not, after termination of this
Agreement,  disclose or make use of such Trade Secrets without the prior written
consent of the Company.  Employee agrees that the Trade Secrets shall remain the
exclusive  property of the Company and shall not be copied or  reproduced in any
manner whatsoever  without the prior written consent of the Company and shall be
returned to the Company upon termination of this Agreement.

9. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

         a.  Noncompetition  by  Employee.  During  the term of this  Agreement,
         Employee  shall not,  directly or  indirectly,  either as an  employee,
         independent  contractor,   consultant,   agent,   principal,   partner,
         stockholder, corporate officer, director of any entity, or in any other
         individual  or  representative  capacity,  without  the  prior  written
         consent of the Company, (1) engage,  either directly or indirectly,  in
         any  business  which is in  competition  in any manner with that of the
         Company or any Group  Company or (2) attempt to influence any person or
         entity not to do business with the Company or any Group Company.

         b. Solicitation of Other Employees of the Company. Employee agrees, for
         a period of two (2) years  following the termination of this Agreement,
         not to directly or indirectly, or by act in concert with others, employ
         or attempt to employ or solicit for employment to any business which is
         in competition with that of the Company or any Group Company, any other
         employees  of  the  Company  or any of the  Group  Companies  or  their
         affiliates,  or seek to influence  any such persons to terminate  their
         employment  with  the  Company,  any  of the  Group  Company  or  their
         affiliates.

         c. Enforcement of Covenants. Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees
         that the  provisions  contained  in Section 8 and  Section 9 hereof are
         reasonable and necessary for the protection and continued  viability of
         the business of the Company and that a breach by Employee of any of the
         provisions  contained in Section 8 and Section 9 hereof would cause the
         Company  serious  loss and damage and that the  business of the Company
         would be  irreparably  harmed.  If this Agreement is terminated for any
         reason,  and  thereafter   Employee  violates  any  of  the  provisions
         contained  in  Section  8 and  Section  9 of this  Agreement,  Employee
         acknowledges  and  agrees  that the  Company  shall  have the  right to
         immediately cease making payments that may be due and owing to Employee
         pursuant  to this  Agreement,  and shall have the right to  continue to
         withhold such payments  until such time as Employee fully complies with
         the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth in  Section  8 and  Section 9 .
         Employee and the Company both acknowledge and agree that exact monetary
         and other damages in the event of such  violations of the Agreement are
         difficult of ascertainment, though great and irreparable, and, as such,
         Employee  further  acknowledges and agrees with the Company that in the
         event  of a  real  or  threatened  breach  by  Employee  of  any of the
         provisions  contained  in Section 8 and  Section 9 hereof,  the Company
         shall be  entitled to commence  proceedings  in any court of  competent
         jurisdiction  for and be entitled to obtain  preliminary  or  permanent
         injunctive relief or other appropriate equitable remedies, which rights
         and  remedies  shall be in addition to any other  rights or remedies to
         which the  Company  may be justly  entitled  at law.  If any portion of
         Section  8  and  Section  9  shall  be  adjudicated  to be  invalid  or
         unenforceable,  then the Sections  shall be deemed  amended to make the
         portion  comply  with  law  or,  if  this is not  possible,  to  delete
         therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or  unenforceable,
         but such deleted  portion of this Agreement shall remain in effect with
         respect to the  operation  of the Sections in all  jurisdictions  other
         than the jurisdiction  which  invalidates the portion deleted,  without
         limitation.

         d.  Survival of  Covenants.  The  covenants  contained in Section 8 and
         Section 9 shall be construed as covenants and agreements independent of
         any other  provision in this  Agreement and shall  continue to bind the
         parties  to  this  Agreement  and  survive  any   termination  of  this
         Agreement.

10. TERM

         The Term of this  Agreement  shall be two (2) years  commencing  on the
effective  date of this  Agreement,  and  thereafter  from  year to year  unless
otherwise terminated as hereinafter provided.

                  (a) Absence from  employment or inability to perform  services
         hereunder,  caused by illness or incapacity  of Employee,  shall not be
         deemed a violation by Employee of his obligations  under Paragraph 1 of
         this  Agreement,   subject,   however,   to  the  following  terms  and
         conditions:

                           (i) If  Employee  is so absent  or unable to  perform
                  such  services  by  reason  of  illness  or  incapacity  for a
                  continuous  period  exceeding  one  hundred  fifty (150) days,
                  then, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Company
                  may terminate this Agreement and all obligations of Company to
                  Employee hereunder shall cease.

                  (b) In the event of  Employee's  death during the Term of this
         Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate,  provided,  however, Company
         shall pay to  Employee's  heirs and assigns the Base Salary for six (6)
         months after Employee's death, such Base Salary to be paid at the times

         months.

                  (c)  This  Agreement  may be  terminated  by  Company  without
         liability prior to the expiration of the Term in the event:

                           (i) of a gross continual and  intentional  failure of
                  Employee to perform any of the material  terms and  conditions
                  of this Agreement; or

                           (ii) Employee is convicted of a felony (as defined in
                  the Texas Penal  Code) or a crime  involving  moral  turpitude
                  resulting in a non-appealable conviction by a court of law for
                  such offense.

                  (d) This  Agreement may also be terminated by either  Employee
         or the  Company at any time after the  initial two (2) year term by one
         hundred eighty (180) days written notice. Such notice will be effective
         as of the end of such one hundred  eighty  (180)  days.  If Employee or

         shall cease on the effective date of the termination.
