      WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee
      desire for Employee to continue serving  the Company as its President
      and Chief Operating Officer; and to continue serving as the President

      2.        Compensation
      and Benefits.
    

    
      For all services rendered by the Employee
      in any capacity during the period of Employee’s employment by the
      Company, including without limitation, services as an executive officer
      or member of any committee of the Board of Directors or any subsidiary,
      affiliate or division thereof, from and after the Effective Date the
      Employee shall be compensated as follows:
    

    
      (a)       Base
      Salary.  The Company shall pay
      the Employee a fixed salary (“Base Salary”) at a rate of Three Hundred
      and Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($325,000) per year. The Board of
      Directors may periodically review the Employee’s Base Salary with a view
      to increasing such Base Salary if, in the judgment of the Board of
      Directors, the earnings of the Company or the services of the Employee
      merit such an increase.  Base Salary will be payable in accordance with
      the customary payroll practices of the Company.
    

    
      (b)  Annual
      Bonus.  Employee will be
      entitled to receive an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”), payable each
      year no later than sixty (60) days after the end of the Company’s most
      recently completed fiscal year. The final determination on the total
      amount of the Annual Bonus will be made by the Compensation Committee of
      the Board of Directors, based primarily on mutually agreed upon
      performance criteria as set forth in the Annual Bonus - 2009 Performance
      Criteria: Hyde (the “Performance Criteria”), established with respect to
      the ensuing fiscal year, within sixty (60) days of the end of each
      fiscal year, or ninety (90) days after the start of any fiscal year (the
      “Performance Criteria Agreement Period”), such as the case may be. The
      Performance Criteria for the 2009 fiscal year shall be established and
      mutually agreed upon on or before the date of execution of this
      Agreement. In the event that the applicable Performance Criteria cannot
      be mutually agreed upon by the Compensation Committee and the Employee
      during the Performance Criteria Agreement Period, such Performance
      Criteria shall be established by majority vote of the Compensation
      Committee within no more than thirty (30) days of the end of the
      Performance Criteria Agreement Period, subject to the minimum Annual
      Bonus payment terms and conditions further described herein below. The
      targeted amount of the Annual Bonus shall be set by the Compensation
      Committee during the Performance Criteria Agreement Period in an amount
      up to Fifty Percent (50%), but in no event shall bonus criteria be set
      whereby Employee has a bonus target of less than Fifty Percent (50%) of
      the Executive’s base salary (“Target Bonus Amount”). The Target Bonus
      Amount shall be deemed earned if Employee meets the mutually agreed upon
      Performance Criteria. The Compensation Committee may also consider other
      more subjective factors in making its determination for any fiscal
      period. The actual Annual Bonus for any given period may be higher than
      or, if Employee fails to meet the Performance Criteria, lower than 50%
      of Employee’s base salary. Specifically, the Compensation Committee will
      give consideration to Performance Criteria including Adjusted Earnings
      Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted
      EBITDA”) as further defined in that certain Loan and Security Agreement
      entered into by and among the Company and Thermo Credit, LLC on April
      30, 2008, and any modifications, exceptions, mutual releases and
      successors thereto), and to other traditional criteria for determining
      operating

      performance as may be mutually agreed by
      the parties. The Performance Criteria may be reviewed and revised from
      time to time during each annual period to adjust and account for

      case may be.

      and Employment Tax.  Payment of
      all compensation hereunder shall be subject to customary withholding tax

      4.        Termination
      of Employment.

      (a)       By the Company, in the event of
      the Employee’s death or Disability (as hereinafter defined) or for Cause
      (as hereinafter defined).  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall

      Directors specifically setting forth such failure; (iv) Employee having
      willfully caused the Company, without the approval of the Board of
      Directors, to fail to abide by either a valid material contract to which

      committed acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful
      misconduct with respect to the Company; (vi) Employee having committed
      acts or omissions constituting a material breach of Employee’s duty of

      in a reasonable time, which time shall be
      30 days from receipt of written notice from the Company of such material
      breach.  A determination that Cause exists as defined in clauses (iv),
      (v), (vi) or (vii) (as to this Agreement) of the preceding sentence
      shall be made by at least a majority of the members of the Board of
      Directors.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the
      inability of Employee, in the reasonable judgment of a physician
      appointed by the Board of Directors, to perform his duties of employment
      for the Company or any of its subsidiaries because of any physical or
      mental disability or incapacity, where such disability shall exist for
      an aggregate period of more than 120 days in any 365-day period or for
      any period of 90 consecutive days.  The Company shall by written notice
      to the Employee specify the event relied upon for termination pursuant
      to this Section 4(a), and Employee’s employment hereunder shall be
      deemed terminated as of the date of such notice.  In the event of any
      termination under this Subsection 4(a), the Company shall pay all
      amounts then due to the Employee under Section 2(a) of this Agreement
      for any portion of the payroll period worked but for which payment had
      not yet been made up to the date of termination, and, if such
      termination was for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligations
      to Employee under this Agreement, and any and all options granted
      hereunder shall terminate according to their terms
      In the event of a termination
      due to Employee’s Disability or death, the Company shall comply with its
      obligations under Sections 2(f) and 2(g).
    

    
      (b)       By the Company, in the absence
      of Cause, for any reason and in its sole and absolute discretion,
      provided that in such event the Company shall, as liquidated damages or
      severance pay, or both, continue to pay to Employee the Base Salary (at
      a monthly rate equal to the rate in effect immediately prior to such
      termination) (the "Termination Payments"), when, as and if such payments
      would have been made in the absence of Executive’s termination, for a
      period of no less than a year and no more than the remaining term of
      this Employment Agreement.
    

    
      (c)                By the Employee for
      “Good Reason,” which shall be deemed to exist: (i) if the Company’s
      Board of Directors fails to elect or reelect the Employee to, or removes
      the Employee from, any of the office(s) referred to in Section 1(a)
      absent “Cause” as defined elsewhere in this Agreement; (ii) if the Board
      of Directors fails to nominate Executive to serve on the Board of
      Directors at the first meeting of the Board of Directors following the
      Execution Date of this Agreement; (iii) if the scope of Employee’s
      duties, responsibilities, authority or position is significantly reduced
      (but not excluding changes resulting from a sale of the Company, whether
      by merger, tender offer or otherwise) provided that Employee shall act
      via written notice of his belief that such event has occurred within 30
      days of any such diminution in the scope of his duties,
      responsibilities, authority or position;  or (iv) if the Company shall
      have continued to fail to comply with any material provision of this
      Agreement after a 30-day period to cure (if such failure is curable)
      following written notice to the Company of such non-compliance; and
      provided that (i) the Employee provides written notice to the Company of
      the facts giving rise to “Good Reason” within 90 days of the initial
      existence of the event or events, and (ii) the Company is provided not
      less than 30 days to cure, and fails so to cure, and (iii) the Executive
      terminates

      employment within one year from the
      initial existence of the cause of Good Reason.
    

    
      In the event of any termination under this
      Section 4(c), the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay,
      or both, pay the Termination Payments to Employee.  Such Termination
      Payments shall be made on the same basis and at the same times as
      described in Section 4(b).
    

    
      (d)       During any period in which
      Employee is obligated not to compete with the Company pursuant to
      Section 5 hereof (unless Employee was terminated for Cause in which case
      no benefits set forth under this section shall be due Employee),
      Employee and his family shall continue to be covered by the Company’s
      life, medical, health and death plans.  Such coverage shall be at the
      Company’s expense to the same extent as if Employee were still employed
      by the Company.  In the event of a termination pursuant to Sections 4(b)
      or 4(c), the Company shall provide to Employee, at the Company’s
      expense, outplacement services of a nature customarily provided to a
      senior executive.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the
      Company pursuant to this Section 4(d) shall remain in effect no longer
      than the term of the Termination Payments.
    

    

    

    
      5.        Non-Competition.
    

    
      During the period of Employee’s employment
      hereunder and during any period in which Employee is receiving
      Termination Payments, the Employee shall not, within any state or other
      jurisdiction in which the Employee actively provided services to the
      Company or any subsidiary of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, or
      within a one hundred (100) mile radius of any such state or
      jurisdiction, directly or indirectly own any interest in, manage,
      control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any
      manner engage in any wireless communications business substantially
      similar to the Company’s current businesses and any businesses of the
      Company actively operating or contemplated as of the Execution Date of
      this Agreement (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such
      activity and the Company shall have consented thereto in
      writing).  Investments in less than five percent of the outstanding
      securities of any class of a corporation subject to the reporting
      requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
      Act of 1934, as amended, shall not be prohibited by this Section 5.  At
      the option of Employee, Employee’s obligations under this Section 5
      arising after the termination of Employee shall be suspended during any
      period in which the Company fails to pay to him Termination Payments
      required to be paid to him pursuant to this Agreement.  The provisions
      of this Section 5 are subject to the provisions of Section 14 of this
      Agreement.
    

    

    

    
      6.        Inventions
      and Confidential Information.
    

    
      The parties hereto recognize that a major
      need of the Company is to preserve its specialized knowledge, trade
      secrets, and confidential information.  The strength and good will of
      the Company is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets,
      and confidential information generated from experience with the
      activities undertaken by the Company and its subsidiaries.  The
      disclosure of this information and knowledge to competitors would be
      beneficial to them and detrimental to the Company, as would the
      disclosure of information about the marketing practices, pricing
      practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical
      techniques, and similar items of the Company and its

      subsidiaries.  The Employee acknowledges
      that the proprietary information, observations and data obtained by him
      while employed by the Company concerning the business or affairs of the
      Company are the property of the Company.  By reason of his being a
      senior executive of the Company, the Employee has or will have access
      to, and has obtained or will obtain, specialized knowledge, trade
      secrets and confidential information about the Company’s operations and
      the operations of its subsidiaries, which operations extend throughout
      the United States.  Therefore, subject to the provisions of Section 14
      hereof, the Employee hereby agrees as follows, recognizing that the
      Company is relying on these agreements in entering into this Agreement:
    

    
      (i)       During the period of Employee’s
      employment with the Company and for an indefinite period thereafter, the
      Employee will not use, disclose to others, or publish or otherwise make
      available to any other party any inventions or any confidential business
      information about the affairs of the Company, including but not limited
      to confidential information concerning the Company’s products, methods,
      engineering designs and standards, analytical techniques, technical
      information, customer information, employee information, and other
      confidential information acquired by him in the course of his past or
      future services for the Company.  Employee agrees to hold as the
      Company’s property all books, papers, letters, formulas, memoranda,
      notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts, software and
      other documents, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way
      relating to the Company’s business and affairs, whether made by him or
      otherwise coming into his possession, and on termination of his
      employment, or on demand of the Company, at any time, to deliver the
      same to the Company within twenty four (24) hours of such termination or
      demand.
    

    
      (iv)  During the period of Employee’s
      employment with the Company and for one (1) year thereafter, (a) the
      Employee will not directly or indirectly through another entity induce
      or otherwise attempt to influence any employee of the Company to leave
      the Company’s employ and (b) the Employee will not directly or
      indirectly hire or cause to be hired or induce a third party to hire,
      any such employee (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized
      such employment and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing)
      or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company and
      any employee thereof and (c) induce or attempt to induce any customer,
      supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company
      to cease doing business with the Company or in any way interfere with
      the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or
      business relation of the Company.
    

    

    

    
      7.        Dispute
      Resolution.
    

    
      All disputes between the Parties arising
      from the construction or performance of, or otherwise in connection with
      this Agreement, shall be finally settled by in Ft. Worth, Texas, before
      a panel of three arbitrators pursuant to the rules of the American
      Arbitration Association.  The arbitration procedure and all decisions
      made by the arbitral tribunal shall be kept confidential, unless the
      Parties expressly consent to the publication thereof in whole or in
      part. Unless oral hearings are requested by a party, the arbitral
      tribunals shall make its award on the basis of written submissions.  In
      the event of any proceeding between the Company and the Employee with
      respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the

      enforcement of the rights hereunder and
      such proceeding results in final judgment or order in favor of one of
      the Parties, which judgment or order is substantially inconsistent with
      the positions asserted by the other Party in such litigation or
      proceeding, the losing Party in such event shall reimburse the
      prevailing Party for all of its reasonable costs and expenses relating
      to such litigation or other proceeding, including, without limitation,
      its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.  Such payments shall be
      made no later than the end of the year following the year in which any
      such litigation or proceeding is concluded.
    

    
      8.        Consolidation;
      Merger; Sale of Assets; Change of Control.
    

    
      Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude
      the Company from combining, consolidating or merging with or into,
      transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or entering into
      a partnership or joint venture with, another corporation or other
      entity, or effecting any other kind of corporate combination provided
      that the corporation resulting from or surviving such combination,
      consolidation or merger, or to which such assets are transferred, or
      such partnership or joint venture, assumes this Agreement and all
      obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder. Upon such a
      consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such
      partnership or joint venture, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
      of, be assumed by, and be binding upon such resulting or surviving
      transferee corporation or such partnership or joint venture, and the
      term “Company,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean such corporation,
      partnership or joint venture or other entity, and this Agreement shall
      continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and shall
      entitle the Employee and his heirs, beneficiaries and representatives to
      exactly the same compensation, benefits, perquisites, payments and other
      rights as would have been their entitlement had such combination,
      consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such
      partnership or joint venture not occurred.
    

    

    

    
      9.        Survival
      of Obligations.
    

    
      Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,
      15 and 17 shall survive the termination for any reason of this Agreement
      (whether such termination is by the Company, by the Employee, upon the
      expiration of this Agreement or otherwise).
    

    

    

    
      10.       Employee’s
      Representations.
    

    
      The Employee hereby represents and
      warrants to the Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance
      of this Agreement by the Employee do not and shall not conflict with,
      breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement,
      instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Employee is a party
      or by which he is bound, (ii) the Employee is not a party to or bound by
      any employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality
      agreement with any other person or entity and (iii) upon the execution
      and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be
      the valid and binding obligation of the Employee, enforceable in
      accordance with its terms.  The Employee hereby acknowledges and
      represents that he has consulted with legal counsel regarding his rights
      and obligations under this Agreement and that he fully understands the
      terms and conditions contained herein.

      11.       Company’s
      Representations.
    

    
      The Company hereby represents and warrants
      to the Employee that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this
      Agreement by the Company do not and shall not materially conflict with,
      breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement,
      instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is a party or
      by which it is bound and (ii) upon the execution and delivery of this
      Agreement by the Employee, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding
      obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
    

    

    

    
      12.       Enforcement.
    

    
      Because the Employee’s services are unique
      and because the Employee has access to confidential information
      concerning the Company, the parties hereto agree that money damages
      would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this
      Agreement.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of
      this Agreement, the Company may, in addition to other rights and
      remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent
      jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief
      in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof
      (without posting a bond or other security).
    

    

    

    
      13.       Severability.
    

    
      In case any one or more of the provisions
      or part of a provision contained in this Agreement shall for any reason
      be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any
      jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall be
      deemed not to affect any other jurisdiction or any other provision or
      part of a provision of this Agreement, nor shall such invalidity,
      illegality or unenforceability affect the validity, legality or
      enforceability of this Agreement or any provision or provisions hereof
      in any other jurisdiction; and this Agreement shall be reformed and
      construed in such jurisdiction as if such provision or part of a
      provision held to be invalid or illegal or unenforceable had never been
      contained herein and such provision or part reformed so that it would be
      valid, legal and enforceable in such jurisdiction to the maximum extent
      possible.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the
      Company and the Employee each intend that the covenants contained in
      Sections 5 and 6 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants,
      one for each county of the State of Texas and one for each and every
      other state, territory or jurisdiction of the United States and any
      foreign country set forth therein.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a
      court shall refuse to enforce any of such separate covenants, then such
      unenforceable covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions
      hereof for the purpose of such proceedings to the extent necessary to
      permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such
      proceedings.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to
      enforce any one or more of such separate covenants because the total
      time, scope or area thereof is deemed to be excessive or unreasonable,
      then it is the intent of the parties hereto that such covenants, which
      would otherwise be unenforceable due to such excessive or unreasonable
      period of time, scope or area, be enforced for such lesser period of
      time, scope or area as shall be deemed reasonable and not excessive by
      such court.

      Agreement; Amendment.
    

    
      Except as otherwise set forth in this
      Agreement, this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the
      Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof and
      thereof.  This Agreement may not be amended, waived, changed, modified
      or discharged except by an instrument in writing executed by or on
      behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver,
      change, modification or discharge is sought.  No course of conduct or
      dealing shall be construed to modify, amend or otherwise affect any of
      the provisions hereof.

      and Further Agreement.
    

    
      Any waiver of any breach of any terms or
      conditions of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other

      20.       Section 409A
      of the Internal Revenue Code.
    

    
                Notwithstanding anything in this
      Agreement to the contrary, for any year in which the stock of the
      Company is tradeable on an established securities market, and the
      Employee meets the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section
      416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii), or (iii) (applied in accordance with the
      Regulations thereunder, but without regard to Internal Revenue Code
      Section 416(i)(5)) at any time during the 12 month period ending on the
      last occurring December 31st  (and
      is therefore a “Specified Employee”), then, to the extent required by
      Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the Company shall pay any benefit
      which constituted “deferred compensation” under this Article no earlier
      than the earliest of the following:
    

    

    

    
       (1)      the expiration of the six month
      period (the “Deferral Period”) measured from the date of the Employee’s
      ‘separation from service’ under 409A; or
    

    
      (2)       the date of the Employee’s death.
    

    

    

    
      Upon the expiration of the Deferral
      Period, all payments that would have been made during the Deferral
      Period (whether in a single lump sum or in installments) shall be paid
      as a single lump sum to the Employee or, if applicable, his or her
      beneficiary.
