            **Term
                of Employment**.




Subject
      to the termination provisions set forth herein, the initial term of this
      Agreement and the Employee’s employment hereunder will be for a term of two (2)
      years from the date of this Agreement (the “Initial Term”). This Agreement shall
      thereafter be automatically extended for additional successive one (1) year
      term
      unless either party gives written notice of termination to the other party

      less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of any term (in which event this
      Agreement shall terminate effective as of the close of the then existing
      Employment Term). The Initial Term of this Agreement and any additional terms
      as
      extended in accordance with this Section 1 are collectively referred to in
      this
      Agreement as the “Employment Term.”




**2.**
            **Position
                and Duties****.**




(a)  During
      the Employment Term, the Employee shall serve as Chief Executive Officer and
      President. The Employee shall have such duties, functions, responsibilities,
      and
      authority as are from time to time delegated to the Employee by the Board of
      Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or are otherwise consistent with the
      duties, responsibilities and authority of the executive office held by the
      Employee; provided that with respect to any specifically delegated duties,
      functions, responsibilities and authority, such duties, functions,
      responsibilities, and authority are reasonable and customary for a person
      serving in the office/position of a public company comparable to the Company.
      The Chief Executive Officer and President shall report and be accountable to
      the
      Board of Directors of the Company **.**




(b)  During
      the Employment Term, the Employee will: (i) devote substantially all of his
      time
      during normal business hours to the business of the Company, fulfill his duties
      and obligations under this Agreement and use his best efforts, judgment and
      energy to perform, improve and advance the business and interests of the Company
      in a manner consistent with the duties of his position; provided however that
      Employee is not prevented from serving as a member of the board of directors
      of
      a corporation if the Company determines that such membership is not adverse
      to
      its interests; (ii) not engage in any business activities that are directly
      or
      indirectly competitive with any business conducted by the Company or any of
      its
      subsidiaries or affiliates; (iii) observe and carry out such reasonable rules,
      regulations, policies, directions and restrictions as may be established from
      time to time by the Board, including but not limited to, the standard policies
      and procedures of the Company as in effect from time to time; and (iv) do such
      traveling as may be required in connection with the performance of such duties
      and responsibilities.









(c)  The
      Employee acknowledges that this Agreement contains a non-disclosure of
      proprietary information and non-competition provisions, and the Employee agrees
      to comply with these provisions. The Employee understands that entering into
      and
      complying with these provisions is a condition to the Employee’s continued
      employment with the Company and that failure to comply with the terms of these
      provisions may result in immediate termination from employment.




(d)  In
      connection with the Employee’s employment by the Company under this Agreement,
      the Employee shall be based at the principal executive offices of the Company
      in
      San Antonio, Texas, except for such reasonable travel as the performance of
      the
      Employee’s duties in the business of the Company may require. Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Board may in its reasonable discretion determine to relocate
      the principal offices of the Company for any necessary business purpose and
      doing so shall not be a breach of this Agreement.




**3.**
            **Hours
                of Work****.**




The
      Employee’s normal days and hours of work shall coincide with the Company’s
      regular business hours. The nature of the Employee’s employment with the Company
      requires flexibility in the days and hours that the Employee must work, and
      may
      necessitate that the Employee work on other or additional days and hours. The
      Company reserves the right to require the Employee, and the Employee agrees,
      to
      work during other or further days or hours than the Company’s normal business
      hours.




**4.**
            **Compensation
                and Benefits****.**

      Salary** **.** During
      the Employment Term, the Company shall pay to the Employee for his services
      hereunder a base salary (“Base Salary”) at the rate of $200,000.00. per year,
      payable in installments in accordance with the general payroll practices of
      the
      Company, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon, but no less often than twice
      monthly. The Employee’s Base Salary may be subject to such adjustments as may be
      determined from time to time by the Board in its sole discretion; provided , however ,
      in no
      event shall the Employee’s salary be reduced unless such reduction is part of a
      salary reduction applicable to all employees of the Company based upon the
      Company’s financial condition.

(b)  **Stock
      Options** **.** The
      Employee shall be eligible to receive awards of options (“Options”) to purchase
      common stock of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and

      discretion (the “Option Plan”). The decision whether or not to award stock
      options under the Option Plan, if adopted, to the Employee, and the amount
      of
      any such award, shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. The
      definitive terms and conditions of the Options shall be set forth in a separate
      option agreement to be entered into by the Employee and the Company (the “Option
      Agreement”). To the extent there is any inconsistency or conflict between the
      terms of the Option Agreement and the terms of the Option Plan, the terms of
      the
      Option Plan shall govern and control. Upon the execution of this Agreement,
      the
      Company shall grant to the Employee options under the Company’s Option Plan to
      acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock having an exercise price, vesting
      and term, all as described on **Exhibit

      available by the Company to its senior executives. In addition to the rights
      of
      the Employee set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company shall provide
      health, dental, disability and life insurance for the Employee under such group
      health, dental, disability and life insurance plans maintained by the Company
      for its full-time, salaried employees. Nothing herein shall require the Company
      to adopt or maintain any type of benefit plan or policy; provided , however ,
      the
      Company shall provide health insurance for the Employee and his family at all
      times during the Employment Term. The Employee acknowledges that any such plan
      or policy will be subject to deductibles and co-pay requirements

      the Employment Term, the Employee shall be entitled to receive reimbursement
      upon a timely basis (according to the then-current practices of the Company)
      for
      all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Employee
      in
      connection with performing his duties and responsibilities hereunder, which
      are
      reimbursable in accordance with the Company’s policies from time to time in
      effect, upon the presentation by the Employee of an itemized monthly accounting
      of such expenditures, including receipts where required by Company policy or
      federal income tax regulations.

      vacation days from one annual period to the next and all the rest of the accrued

      in which they were accrued will be forfeited unless the Company shall have
      requested the Employee, in writing, to modify or postpone a previously planned
      vacation.

      in its reasonable discretion, (i) that despite any reasonable accommodation

      of
      his position hereunder as a result of his physical or mental incapacity and
      (ii)

            **Assignment
                of Inventions and Intellectual
                Property**




(a)  The
      term
“Proprietary Rights” will mean all trade secret, trademark, service mark,
      patent, copyright, mask work and other intellectual property rights throughout
      the world. The term “Inventions” shall mean all trade secrets, trade and service
      marks, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object
      codes, data, programs, technology, writings, software programs, other works
      of
      authorship, know how, discoveries, developments, designs, techniques or any
      claim of rights (or any related improvements or modifications to the
      foregoing).




(b)  In
      consideration of the Employee’s employment, the Employee hereby assigns and
      agrees to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary rights
      are first reduced to practice or first fixed in an tangible medium, as
      applicable) to the Company all right, title and interest in and to any and
      all
      Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not
      patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived
      or reduced to practice or learned by the Employee, either alone or jointly
      with
      others, during or at any time before or after the period of employment with
      the
      Company, which (i) relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes
      or
      devices sold, leased, used or under construction or development by the Company
      or any subsidiary or otherwise relate to or pertain to the actual or anticipated
      business, functions, operations, research or development of the Company or
      any
      subsidiary, (ii) arise (wholly or partly) from the Employee’s efforts during any
      time that the Employee is either physically present on the Company’s premises or
      utilizing any physical or intellectual property owned or leased by the Company,
      or (iii) is based on any information or knowledge gained by the Employee through
      his or her employment with the Company. Inventions assigned to the Company,
      or
      to a third party as directed by the Company pursuant to this Section, are
      hereinafter referred to as “Company Inventions.”




(c)  During
      the Employment Term and for eighteen (18) months thereafter, the Employee will
      promptly disclose to the Company, fully and in writing, all Inventions authored,
      conceived or reduced to practice by the Employee, either alone or jointly with
      others. In addition, the Employee will promptly disclose to the Company all
      patent applications filed by the Employee or on behalf of the Employee within
      eighteen (18) months after termination of employment. At the time of each such
      disclosure, the Employee will advise the Company in writing of any Inventions
      that he or she believes fully qualifies for protection under the Law; and the
      Employee will at that time provide to the Company in writing all evidence
      necessary to substantiate that belief.




(d)  The
      Employee also agrees to assign all right, title and interest in and to any
      particular Company Invention to a third party, as directed by the
      Company.




(e)  The
      Employee will assist the Company in every proper way to obtain, and from time
      to
      time enforce the Company’s Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in
      any and all countries. To that end the Employee will execute, verify and deliver
      such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness)
      as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining,
      perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and
      the
      assignment thereof. In addition, the Employee will execute, verify and deliver
      assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designee. The
      Employee’s obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights
      relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries will continue
      beyond the termination of employment and the Company will provide compensation
      at a reasonable rate after termination for the time actually spent by me at
      the
      Company’s request on such assistance.




10




(f)  In
      the
      event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure
      the Employee’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions
      specified in the preceding paragraph, the Employee hereby irrevocably appoints
      the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Employee’s agent
      and attorney in fact to act for and in his or her behalf to sign, execute,
      verify and file any and all documents and to do all other lawfully permitted
      acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal
      force and effect as if executed by the Employee. The Employee hereby waives
      any
      quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which
      the Employee now or may hereafter have for infringement of any proprietary
      rights assigned to the Company.




(g)  Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Employee shall not be prohibited by this Section 11 from
      using, after the Employment Term, ideas, data, technology, know how or
      techniques, which are acquired or generated from the general knowledge of the
      industry that the Company is engaged in.




**12.**
            **Non-Competition****.**




(a)  Employee
      will, as a result of his employment with the Company, be involved with and
      exposed to substantial business resources and assets of the Company and certain
      of its affiliates and will develop additional contacts and relationships with
      numerous individuals and companies, which are also involved in the business
      of
      the Company or businesses related thereto. Such individuals and organizations
      will have business and contractual relationships with the Company and/or its
      affiliates that will be a valuable asset thereof. The Employee also recognizes
      and agrees with the Company that the services which the Employee will render
      during the term of employment are unique, special and of extraordinary
      character, that the Company will be substantially dependent upon such services
      to develop and market its products and to earn a profit, and that the
      application of the Employee’s knowledge and services to any competitive business
      would be substantially detrimental to the Company. Accordingly, in consideration
      for employment by the Company and compensation and other benefits, including
      any
      compensation the Employee may receive after his or her employment is terminated
      pursuant to this Agreement, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly
      (whether as an employee, officer, executive, director, manager, stockholder,
      member, lender, consultant or any other capacity), during the period of his
      or
      her employment with the Company, and for a period of six (6) months after
      termination of employment hereunder for any reason whatsoever, engage in any
      business or activity or otherwise compete anywhere in the United States, with
      any business or activity that is competitive with any business or activity
      engaged in by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or
      contemplated to be engaged in (as of the time of the termination of employment)
      by the Company or any such subsidiary or affiliate; provided,  however, that
      the
      foregoing sentence shall not be applicable in the event the Employee is
      terminated pursuant to Section 6(e)(ii) or Section 6(e)(iii) hereof or if the
      Employee or the Company terminates this Agreement at the end of the Initial
      Term
      or any additional term pursuant to Section 1. In addition, for a period of
      two
      (2) years from the end of Employment Term the Employee will not induce or
      attempt to induce any person or entity that is engaged in any business activity
      or relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company
      to terminate that activity or relationship to reduce such activity or
      relationship.




11




(b)  The
      term
“compete” as used herein means to engage, directly or indirectly, either as a
      proprietor, partner, employee, commissioned salesperson, agent, consultant,
      director, officer, stockholder or in any other capacity or manner whatsoever.
      The provisions of this Section will not prevent the Employee from investing
      any
      assets in securities of any corporation, provided that such investments do
      not,
      directly or indirectly, result in the Employee, his spouse or his children
      collectively (i) owning beneficially at any time five percent (5%) or more
      of
      the equity securities of any publicly traded corporation engaged in a business
      competitive with the Company, or (ii) otherwise being able to control or
      actively participate in the business decisions of such competing business




**13.**
            **Non-Solicitation****.**




For
      the
      period of his employment by the Company and for two (2) years **** after
      the
      date of the conclusion of such employment, the Employee will not (i) induce,
      solicit or seek to influence, either directly or indirectly, any employee of,
      or
      any person under written contract with, the Company or any of its affiliates,
      to
      enter into any employment agreement, independent contractor arrangement, or
      any
      other arrangement whereby such individual would perform services for
      compensation, either directly or indirectly, for any person, firm, corporation
      or other entity engaged in business in competition with the Company or any
      of
      its affiliates. any Employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company
      or any subsidiary, or division thereof or other company of the Company, or
      (ii)
      solicit any customer of the Company or any of its affiliates, or any identified
      prospect or identified potential customer to which a marketing proposal or
      presentation was made during the 12 month period immediately preceding
      termination of the Employment Term (other than on behalf of the Company) for
      any
      business of the type conducted by the Company (including any form of electronic
      or internet commerce).




**14.**
            **No
                Conflicting Obligations****.**




The
      Employee represents and warrants that the Employee has the full right and
      authority to enter into this Agreement and to render the services as required
      under this Agreement, and that by executing this Agreement the Employee is
      not
      breaching any contract or legal obligation the Employee owes to any third party,
      including any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by the
      Employee in confidence or in trust prior to employment by the Company. The
      Employee shall not enter into any agreement or business relationship or incur
      any obligations to any third party following the Effective Date that may
      conflict with, or interfere with the Employee’s abilities to perform, the
      Employees duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company
      acknowledges that the Employee providing services to BOSS Operating Company,
      LLC, or affiliates thereof, pursuant to a short-term transition services
      agreement or other arrangements between the Company and BOSS Operating Company,
      LLC shall not be a breach of any of the covenants of the Employee set forth
      herein.

**15.**
            **Return
                of Company Property****.**

      the
      Employee leaves the employ of the Company, the Employee will deliver to the
      Company (and will not keep in his possession, recreate or deliver to anyone
      else) any and all devices, records, recordings, data, notes, reports, proposals,

      materials, computer materials, equipment, other documents or property, together

      or
      other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time
      with
      or without notice. Prior to leaving, the Employee will cooperate with the
      Company in completing and signing the Company’s termination statement for
      technical and management personnel.




**16.**
            **Notification
                of New Employer****.**

      the
      event that the Employee leaves the employ of the Company, the Employee hereby

**17.**

      Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief

      specific performance as against the Employee and his agents, for the Employee’s
      or his agent’s threatened or actual breach of Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 of this

      press regarding that in anyway pertain to the Company or to Employee’s
      employment with same without Company’s prior approval unless pursuant to the
      Employee’s duties to the Company. Violation of this provision by Employee is a
      material breach of this Agreement.




**19.**
            **Notices****.**




Any
      notices, requests, demands or other communications required or permitted under
      this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given when

      party to be charged therewith.




**20.**

      stationery, postage, e-mail, the internet and other resources made available

      business.





(b)  All
      construction and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and
      construed in accord with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving
      effect to that State’s principles of conflicts of law.





(c)  The
      Employee and the Company agree that any provision of this Agreement deemed
      unenforceable or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision
      shall be reformed and modified to make such provision valid and to permit
      enforcement of the objectionable provision to the fullest permissible extent.

      is the intent of the Company and the Employee that this Agreement be enforced
      to
      the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Any provision of this Agreement
      deemed unenforceable after modification shall be deemed stricken from this
      Agreement, with the remainder of the Agreement being given its full force and
      effect. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a
      court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being
      enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms, provision and
      conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and
      effect.




14




(d)  Any
      waiver granted by a party of any breach of or failure to comply with any
      provision or condition of this Agreement by the other party shall not be
      construed as, or constitute, a continuing waiver of such provision or condition,
      or a waiver of any other breach of, or failure to comply with, any other
      provision or condition of this Agreement, any such waiver to be limited to
      the
      specific matter and instance for which it is given. No waiver of any such breach

      unless in a written instrument signed by the party granting the
      waiver.

      Employee and the Company independently have made all inquiries regarding the
      qualifications and business affairs of the other which either party deems
      necessary. The Employee affirms that the Employee is knowledgeable and
      sophisticated as to business matters, including the subject matter of this
      Agreement, and has read and fully understands this Agreement’s meaning and
      legally binding effect. The Employee further affirms that, prior to assenting
      to
      the terms of this Agreement, the Employee had been provided with a reasonable
      time to review it, consult with counsel of the Employee’s own choice, and to
      negotiate at arm’s length with the Company as to the contents of the Agreement.
      The Employee further affirms that the provisions in this Agreement represent
      accurately the expression of the parties’ mutual intent, and that the Employee
      has entered into this Agreement freely and voluntarily and without pressure
      or
      coercion from anyone. Each party assumes the risk of any misrepresentation
      or
      mistaken understanding or belief relied upon by either party in entering into
      this Agreement. In resolving any dispute or construing any term or provision
      in
      this Agreement, there shall be no presumption made or inference drawn because
      of
      the inclusion of a provision not contained in a prior draft or the deletion
      of a
      provision contained in a prior draft. The parties acknowledge and agree that
      this Agreement was negotiated and drafted with each party being represented
      by
      competent counsel of its choice and with each party having an opportunity to
      participate in the drafting of the provisions hereof and shall therefore be
      construed as if drafted jointly by the parties.





(f)  The
      Company and the Employee agree that the Employee’s obligations to the Company
      during the Employee’s employment with the Company, as well as any other
      obligation of the Employee under this Agreement, may be assigned to any
      successor in interest to the Company or any division or affiliate of the Company
      in its sole discretion and without additional consideration or prior notice
      to
      the Employee, but that nothing requires the Company to do so. The Employee’s
      obligations under this Agreement are personal in nature and may not be assigned
      by the Employee to any other person or entity.





(g)  Entire
      Agreement; Amendment .
      This
      Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties
      relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and/or
      contemporaneous understandings and agreements of any kind and nature (whether
      written or oral) among the parties with respect to such subject matter, all
      of
      which are merged herein. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered
      or
      supplemented, except by a written agreement executed by each of the parties
      hereto.

(h)  Counterparts .
      This
      Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed and delivered in one or
      more
      counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
      each
      of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
      taken
      together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective
      when counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the
      other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the
      same counterpart. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any
      amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery
      of
      a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding
      obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
      executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof. At the request of any party each other
      party shall promptly re-execute an original form of this Agreement or any
      amendment hereto and deliver the same to the other party. No party hereto shall
      raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data
      file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the
      fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of
      a
      facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense
      to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever
      waives any such defense.





(i)  Headings .
      The
      headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form
