EXHIBIT 10.2

                    AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 9th day of August, 2004, by and between
Joseph A. Wagda (the "Executive") and Brightstar Information Technology Group,
Inc. and BrightStar Information Technology Services, Inc. (individually and
collectively the "Company").

SECTION 1. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT

(a)  BASIC RULE. The Company agrees to continue the Executive's employment, and
     the Executive agrees to remain in employment with the Company, from the
     effective date of this agreement, until the earliest of:

     (1)  The date of the Executive's death;

     (2)  December 31, 2005, or if a Transaction resulting in a Change in
          Control closes on or before December 31, 2005, then 12 months after
          the closing of said Transaction; or

     (3)  The date when the Executive's employment terminates pursuant to
          Subsection (b), (c), (d) or (e) below.

(b)  EARLY TERMINATION OR RESIGNATION. The Company may terminate the Executive's
     employment at any time and for any reason by giving the Executive 30 days'
     advance notice in writing or 30 days payment of Base Compensation in lieu
     of notice. The Executive may terminate the Executive's employment for any
     reason by giving the Company not less than 30 days' advance notice in
     writing.

(c)  TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment
     at any time for Cause shown. For all purposes under this Agreement, "Cause"
     shall mean (1) a failure by the Executive to substantially perform the
     Executive's duties under this Agreement, other than a failure resulting
     from the Executive's complete or partial incapacity due to physical or
     mental illness or impairment, (2) an intentional act by the Executive that
     constitutes gross misconduct and that is materially injurious to the
     Company, (3) a breach by the Executive of a material provision of this
     Agreement or (4) a material violation of a federal or state law or
     regulation applicable to the business of the Company that is materially and
     demonstrably injurious to the Company. No act, or failure to act, by the
     Executive shall be considered "intentional" unless committed without good
     faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the
     Company's best interest.

(d)  TERMINATION FOR DISABILITY. The Company may terminate the Executive's
     employment for Disability by giving the Executive written notice. For all
     purposes under this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean that the Executive,
     at the time the notice is given, has been unable to perform the Executive's
     duties under this Agreement for a period of not less than six consecutive
     months as a result of the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental
     illness. In the event that the Executive resumes the performance of
     substantially all of the Executive's duties under this Agreement before the
     termination of the Executive's employment under this Section becomes
     effective, the notice of termination shall automatically be deemed to have
     been revoked.

(e)  TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall expire on the earlier of
     December 31, 2005 or when all obligations of the parties hereunder have
     been satisfied. In addition, either the Company or the Executive may
     terminate this Agreement for any reason, and without affecting the
     Executive's status as an Executive, by giving the other party one-year's
     advance notice in writing. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to the
     preceding sentence shall be effective for all purposes, except that such
     termination shall not affect the payment or provision of compensation or
     benefits under this Agreement on account of a termination of employment
     occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement.

(f)  AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall
     automatically renew annually for an additional one-year term unless the
     Executive receives written notice to the contrary at least 6 months prior
     to the then current expiration date of this Agreement.

                                       24

SECTION 2. DUTIES AND SCOPE OF EMPLOYMENT

(a)  POSITION. The Company and each of its subsidiaries agree to employ the
     Executive for the term of employment under this Agreement in the position
     of President and Chief Executive Officer. Executive shall be given such
     duties, responsibilities and authorities as are appropriate to his
     position.

(b)  OBLIGATIONS. During the term of employment under this Agreement, the
     Executive shall devote the Executive's full business efforts and time to
     the business and affairs of the Company as needed to carry out his duties
     and responsibilities hereunder subject to the overall supervision of the
     Company's Board of Directors. The foregoing shall not preclude the
     Executive from engaging in appropriate civic, charitable or religious
     activities or from devoting a reasonable amount of time to private
     investments or from serving on the boards of directors of other entities,
     as long as such activities and service do not interfere or conflict with
     the Executive's responsibilities to the Company. However, if, after June
     30, 2005, the sum of Executive's monthly base salary and his distributions
     from BrightStar Technology Services, LLC is less than an annual rate of
     $350,000, then the Executive may undertake, in his complete discretion,
     other remunerated services activities for his personal benefit, not
     inconsistent with his responsibilities to the Company and BrightStar
     Technology Services, LLC.

(c)  BOARD OF DIRECTORS. During the term of employment under this Agreement, the
     Executive shall also be appointed to and serve on the Board of Directors of
     the Company.

SECTION 3. COMPENSATION

(a)  BASE COMPENSATION. During the term of employment under this Agreement, the
     Company agrees to pay the Executive as compensation for services a base
     salary at the annual rate of $350,000 until October 31, 2004 and at the
     annual rate of $250,000 for the next 8 months of employment (until June 30,
     2005) and at the annual rate of $150,000 for until the expiration of this
     agreement. Such salary shall be payable in accordance with the standard
     payroll procedures of the Company. Once the Company's Compensation/Option
     Committee of the Board of Directors has increased such salary, it
     thereafter shall not be reduced; provided, however, that if a Change in
     Control has not occurred, such salary (including any increases) may be
     reduced by the Company if (1) the Executive commits an act or omission that
     meets the definition of Cause, as defined in Section 1 (c), or (2) the
     Executive and all other executive officers of the Company who are parties
     to written employment agreements containing substantially the same
     provisions as this Agreement have their salaries (including any increases)
     reduced by the same percentage amount for the same time period. The annual
     compensation specified in this Section 3, together with any increases in
     such compensation that the Compensation/Option Committee of the Board of
     Directors may grant from time to time, and together with any reductions
     made in accordance with this Section 3, is referred to in this Agreement as
     "Base Compensation."

(b)  BONUS COMPENSATION. During the term of employment under this Agreement, in
     the complete discretion of the board of directors, the Executive may be
     awarded annual bonus payments of 0 to 200% of Base Compensation. Bonus
     Compensation shall be paid not later than 90 days after the period for
     which the bonus was awarded.

     In the event a transaction involving any future acquisition, merger,
     divestiture or sale of equity securities (a "Transaction") is completed in
     respect of the Company, the Executive shall receive a bonus in cash within
     30 days of closing equal to (i) the lesser of $55,000 or 10% of the value
     of the Transaction (the "Tier One Bonus"), plus (ii) 10% of the amount by
     which the Net Equity Value of the Company (having added back the 10% bonus
     amount) exceeds $1.014 million (the "Tier Two Bonus"). If there are
     multiple Transactions, all Transactions shall be treated as a single
     Transaction for purposes of computing the Tier Two Bonus and the most
     recent Tier Two Bonus amount shall be computed by reducing it (but not
     below zero) by the sum of all Tier Two Bonus amounts paid or payable in
     respect of all prior Transactions. Net Equity Value shall be defined as
     cash received by and the market value of securities received or retained by
     the Company's shareholders. The market value of securities received or
     retained shall be the average of the closing mid points of the bid and ask
     prices thereof for the 10 trading days following the closing of the
     Transaction.

                                       25
<PAGE>

     In the event any bonus is payable hereunder pursuant to a Transaction
     resulting in a Change in Control, a good faith estimate of the amount
     payable shall be made and the amount deposited in an escrow account at
     closing for the benefit of the Executive, in accordance with procedures
     approved by the Executive.

(c)  USE OF VACATION BANK. The Executive's accrued vacation entitlement
     ("Vacation Bank") shall be based on his base salary at the time the
     vacation was earned and accrued on the books of the Company on a FIFO basis
     and the Company's accrual shall not be reduced by reason of any subsequent
     reductions in base salary. To the extent available, the Executive may elect
     to use dollars from his vacation bank to increase the amount paid as base
     salary to an annual rate of $350,000 through June 30, 2005 and/or to fund
     vacation time taken at any time. In the event of a Qualifying Termination,
     the Executive shall receive in cash the balance of such accrued amounts in
     his Vacation Bank at the time of the Qualifying Termination.

SECTION 4. COMPANY STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS

(a)  UP-FRONT STOCK GRANT. Not applicable.

(b)  FUTURE GRANT OF STOCK OR OPTIONS. The Executive may be awarded restricted
     stock or stock options as incentive compensation in the future at the
     complete discretion of the board.

SECTION 5. EXECUTIVE BENEFITS

In General.  During the term of employment  under this Agreement,  the Executive
shall be eligible to  participate  in the executive  benefit plans and executive
compensation programs maintained by the Company,  including (without limitation)
savings or profit-sharing  plans,  deferred  compensation  plans,  stock option,
incentive or other bonus plans,  life,  disability,  health,  accident and other
insurance programs,  five weeks of paid vacation per annum, and similar plans or
programs,  subject in each case to the generally applicable terms and conditions
of the plan or program in question and to the discretion and  determinations  of
any person, committee or entity administering such plan or program.

SECTION 6. BUSINESS EXPENSES AND TRAVEL

During the term of  employment  under this  Agreement,  the  Executive  shall be
authorized to incur  necessary and reasonable  travel,  entertainment  and other
business  expenses in connection  with the  Executive's  duties  hereunder.  The
Company shall reimburse the Executive for such expenses upon  presentation of an
itemized  account and appropriate  supporting  documentation,  all in accordance
with generally applicable policies.

SECTION 7. INVOLUNTARY ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE TERMINATION WITHOUT
           CAUSE OR DISABILITY

In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, the Executive's employment
terminates  in a Qualifying  Termination,  as defined in Subsection  (a),  then,
after  executing the release of claims  described in Section 7(e), the Executive
shall be entitled to receive the  payments and rights  described in  Subsections
(b), (c) and (d).

     (a)  QUALIFYING TERMINATION. A Qualifying Termination occurs if:

          (1)  The Company terminates the Executive's employment for any reason
               other than Cause or Disability; or

          (2)  The Executive resigns from employment with the Company as a
               result of a "Constructive Termination." For the purposes of this
               Agreement, a Constructive Termination means that the Executive
               resigns from the Company within 60 days of any of the following
               events that occur without his written consent: (i) the
               Executive's responsibilities are materially diminished; (ii) the
               Executive ceases to be CEO of the Company; (iii) the Executive is
               removed from the Board of Directors; (iv) the Executive's office
               is relocated more than 35 miles from his current office location;
               or (vi) the Executive's Base Salary is reduced by more than 10%;
               or

          (3)  The Executive resigns from employment with the Company as a
               result of a Change in Control, provided that such resignation
               occurs within 180 days after a Change in Control but not before
               90 days after a Change in Control.

          (4)  Notwithstanding paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) above, a Qualifying
               Termination shall not have occurred if, as a result of a "going
               private" or other transaction approved by the Executive, the
               Executive is no longer employed by BrightStar Information
               Technology Group, Inc. but remains employed by BrightStar
               Information Technology Services, Inc., at his current level of
               board and operating responsibilities.

     (b)  SEVERANCE. For a period of 12 months following the date of the
          Qualifying Termination, the Executive shall receive, in accordance
          with standard payroll procedures, an amount equal to the Executive's
          monthly Base Compensation in effect on the date of the employment
          termination. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, severance received
          by the Executive as a result of a Qualifying Termination occurring
          after 10/31/04 shall be limited to $150,000 and paid in accordance
          with standard payroll procedures over the six months following the
          date of the Qualifying Termination.

     (c)  CONTINUED VESTING OF STOCK OPTIONS. Not applicable.

     (d)  Immediate Vesting of Stock Options. If the Qualifying Termination
          occurs within the 365-day period following a Change in Control, then
          the Executive shall be vested immediately in all unvested shares of
          restricted stock or options to purchase stock in the Company.

     (e)  RELEASE OF CLAIMS. As a condition to the receipt of the payments and
          benefits described in this Section 7, the Executive shall be required
          to execute a release of all claims arising out of the Executive's
          employment or the termination thereof including, but not limited to,
          any claim of discrimination under state or federal law, but excluding
          claims for indemnification from the Company under any indemnification
          agreement with the Company, its certificate of incorporation and
          by-laws or applicable law or claims for directors and officers'
          insurance coverage.

     (f)  NO MITIGATION. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the
          amount of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Section 7, nor
          shall any such payment or benefit be reduced by any earnings or
          benefits that the Executive may receive from any other source.

     (g)  CONDITIONS TO RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS. In view of Executive's
          position and his access to Confidential Information, as a condition to
          the receipt of payments and benefits described in this Section 7, the
          Executive shall not, without the Company's written consent, directly
          or indirectly, alone or as a partner, joint venturer, officer,
          director, Executive, consultant, agent or stockholder (other than a
          less than 5% stockholder of a publicly traded company) (i) solicit any
          of the Company's Executives, consultants or customers, (ii) hire any
          of the Company's Executives or consultants in an unlawful manner or
          actively encourage Executives or consultants to leave the Company, or
          (iii) otherwise breach his Confidential Information obligations.

For all  purposes  under  this  Agreement,  "Change in  Control"  shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following:

     (i)  The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or
          into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if more
          than 50% of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving
          entity's securities outstanding immediately after such merger,
          consolidation or other reorganization is owned by persons who were not
          stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger,
          consolidation or other reorganization;

     (ii) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of
          the Company's assets;

     (iii) A change in the composition of the Board after August 3, 2005, as a
          result of which fewer than one-half of the incumbent directors are
          directors who either (i) had been directors of the Company on the date
          12 months prior to the date of the event that may constitute a Change
          in Control (the "original directors") or (ii) were elected, or
          nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at
          least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were
          still in office at the time of the election or nomination and the
          directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved;

     (iv) Any transaction after August 3, 2004 as a result of which any person
          becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the

          representing at least 20% of the total voting power represented by the

          Paragraph (iii), the term "person" shall have the same meaning as when
          used in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall
          exclude:
                                       27

          (C)  The Company; or

     (v)  A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

SECTION 9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

(a)  ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The Company and the Executive acknowledge that the
     services to be performed by the Executive under this Agreement are unique
     and extraordinary and that, as a result of the Executive's employment, the
     Executive will be in a relationship of confidence and trust with the
     Company and will come into possession of "Confidential Information" (1)
     owned or controlled by the Company, (2) in the possession of the Company
     and belonging to third parties or (3) conceived, originated, discovered or
     developed, in whole or in part, by the Executive. As used herein
     "Confidential Information" includes trade secrets and other confidential or
     proprietary business, technical, personnel or financial information,
     whether or not the Executive's work product, in written, graphic, oral or
     other tangible or intangible forms, including but not limited to
     specifications, samples, records, data, computer programs, drawings,
     diagrams, models, customer names, ID's or e-mail addresses, business or
     marketing plans, studies, analyses, projections and reports, communications
     by or to attorneys (including attorney-client privileged communications),
     memos and other materials prepared by attorneys or under their direction
     (including attorney work product), and software systems and processes. Any
     information that is not readily available to the public shall be considered
     to be a trade secret and confidential and proprietary, even if it is not
     specifically marked as such, unless the Company advises the Executive
     otherwise in writing.

(b)  NONDISCLOSURE. The Executive agrees that the Executive will not, without
     the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly use or
     disclose Confidential Information to any person, during or after the
     Executive's employment, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course
     of performing the Executive's duties under this Agreement. The Executive
     will keep the Confidential Information in strictest confidence and trust.
     This Section 9 shall apply indefinitely, both during and after the term of
     this Agreement.

(c)  SURRENDER UPON TERMINATION. The Executive agrees that in the event of the
     termination of the Executive's employment for any reason, the Executive
     will immediately deliver to the Company all property belonging to the
     Company, including all documents and materials of any nature pertaining to
     the Executive's work with the Company, and will not take with the Executive
     any documents or materials of any description, or any reproduction thereof
     of any description, containing or pertaining to any Confidential
     Information. It is understood that the Executive is free to use information
     that is in the public domain (not as a result of a breach of this
     Agreement). Executive will be allowed to purchase his laptop and PDA at the
     Company's net book value.

SECTION 10. SUCCESSORS

(a)  COMPANY'S SUCCESSORS. The Company shall require any successor (whether
     direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation,
     liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company's
     business and/or assets, by an agreement in substance and form satisfactory
     to the Executive, to assume this Agreement and to agree expressly to
     perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the
     Company would be required to perform it in the absence of a succession. The
     Company's failure to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of a
     succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the
     Executive to all of the compensation and benefits to which the Executive
     would have been entitled hereunder if the Company had involuntarily
     terminated the Executive's employment without Cause or Disability, on the
     date when such succession becomes effective. For all purposes under this
     Agreement, the term "Company" shall include any successor to the Company's
     business and/or assets that executes and delivers the assumption agreement
     described in this Subsection (a) or that becomes bound by this Agreement by
     operation of law.

                                       28

     successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

(a)  WAIVER. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or
     discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in
     writing and signed by the Executive and by an authorized officer of the
     Company (other than the Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach
     of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by
     the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or
     provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

(b)  WHOLE AGREEMENT. No agreements, representations or understandings (whether
     oral or written and whether express or implied) that are not expressly set
     forth in this Agreement have been made or entered into by either party with
     respect to the subject matter hereof. In addition, the Executive hereby
     acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement supersedes in its entirety any
     employment agreement between the Executive and the Company in effect
     immediately prior to the effective date of this Agreement. As of the
     effective date of this Agreement, such employment agreement shall terminate
     without any further obligation by either party thereto, and the Executive
     hereby relinquishes any further rights that the Executive may have had
     under such prior employment agreement.

(c)  NOTICE. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement
     shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
     personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail,
     return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of the Executive,
     mailed notices shall be addressed to the Executive at the home address that
     the Executive most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the
     case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate
     headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its
     Corporate Secretary.

(d)  CHOICE OF LAW. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance
     of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California,
     irrespective of California's choice-of-law principles.

(e)  SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
     provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
     enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full
     force and effect.

(f)  ARBITRATION. Except as otherwise provided in Section 14 and in the
     enforcement of Section 15, any dispute or controversy arising out of the
     Executive's employment or the termination thereof, including, but not
     limited to, any claim of discrimination under state or federal law, shall
     be settled exclusively by arbitration in San Francisco, California, in
     accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in
     effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court
     having jurisdiction.

(g)  NO ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFITS. The rights of any person to payments or benefits
     under this Agreement shall not be made subject to option or assignment,
     either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law,
     including (without limitation) bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other
     creditor's process, and any action in violation of this Subsection (i)
     shall be void.

(h)  EMPLOYMENT AT WILL; LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. The Company and the Executive
     acknowledge that the Executive's employment is at will, as defined under
     applicable law. If the Executive's employment terminates for any reason,
     the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages,
     awards or compensation other than as provided by this Agreement.

(i)  EMPLOYMENT TAXES. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be
     subject to withholding of applicable taxes.

(j)  BENEFIT COVERAGE NON-ADDITIVE. In the event that the Executive is entitled
