                                     DUTIES

      2.1 DEVOTION OF EFFORT: Cabello agrees to devote sufficient time,
attention, and skill to the performance of his duties as an employee of the
Corporation as set out and authorized by the Board of Directors. During the term

Directors.

      2.2 DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES. Cabello will provide legal, administrative and
managerial services as General Counsel and Vice President, all as directed by
the management of GKIS.


                                   ARTICLE III
                                  COMPENSATION

      3.1  COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

             a. MONTHLY SALARY. As compensation for the services to be rendered
       hereunder, GKIS will pay to Cabello a monthly salary in an amount equal
       to Twenty Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Three and 33/100 ($20,833.33).
       The monthly salary shall be paid in semi-monthly payments of one-half the
       monthly amount each on the first and fifteenth day of each month with
       respect to the immediately preceding month, commencing on the fifteenth
       day of, or the first day of the first month after, the month in which
       employment commences hereunder, whichever comes first after the
       employment date.

            b. BONUS OPTIONS FOR SHARES OF CORPORATION COMMON STOCK. In addition
      to the monthly salary and any other benefits available to all employees,
      including standard incentive qualified stock options, GKIS will grant to
      Cabello incentive stock options (or non-qualified stock options or
      warrants, as appropriate) for a total of six hundred thousand (600,000)
      shares of GKIS restricted common stock (the "Bonus Options"), with
      one-forty-eighth (or options for 12,500 shares) of such grant vesting
      monthly for four years so long as Cabello remains an employee of the
      Corporation, an affiliate or subsidiary. Contingent upon the Agreement
      remaining in force as a result of such continued employment, Bonus Options
      for twelve thousand five hundred (12,500) restricted shares will vest and
      be exercisable on the thirtieth day following the close of each of the
      forty-eight months following the month in which this agreement is
      executed. Except for the delayed vesting of their exercisability, this
      grant of stock options shall be governed by and subject to the GK
      INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS, INC. 1995 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN, as set out in
      a separate incentive stock option agreement executed concurrently with
      this agreement by the parties . The number of shares shall also be
      adjusted as provided in Section 7.1 of such Plan. For all purposes related
      to the Grant of these options, the Board of Directors of GKIS has
      determined that the date of such grant is date of execution of this
      agreement and the Fair Market Value per share as of the date of such grant
      is the closing price on the day this agreement is executed. If the market
      is not open on the execution date, then the Fair Market Value shall be the
      closing price for the first day the market is open after the execution of
      this agreement. Except as set out in paragraph 4.2 below, termination of
      this agreement will not cause the forfeiture of the Bonus Options for
      those months prior to termination in 

                                       2

            c. CONTINGENT IMMEDIATE VESTING OF BONUS OPTIONS. The Corporation
      agrees that Cabello will be entitled to receive immediate accelerated
      vesting of his outstanding unvested Bonus Options if his employment with
      the Corporation is terminated prior to termination of this agreement due

         without Cause;

         or (b) his annual salary in effect during the preceding calendar year,
         and such resignation is tendered within ninety days after he is
         notified of such decision; or

         (vi) Cabello dies during the term of this Agreement.

         d. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Cabello shall be entitled to participate in
      all employee benefit plans to be established by the Board of Directors on
