EXHIBIT 10.28

                       RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

              This Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is entered into on June
16, 2000, 2000, by Chesapeake Biological Laboratories, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "Company"), and John T. Botek (the "Purchaser").

                                    RECITALS

              WHEREAS, the Company agreed under that certain Executive
Employment Agreement between the Company and the Purchaser dated as of May 31,
2000 (the "Employment Agreement") to permit the Purchaser to acquire 75,000
shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company
("Common Stock") pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Chesapeake Biological Laboratories, Inc. Fifth Stock Incentive Plan (the
"Plan"); and

              WHEREAS, this Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is entered into
by the Company in fulfillment of that obligation and sets forth, together with
the Plan which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, the
terms and conditions of the purchase of such shares.

              NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties
agree as follows:

SECTION A -- ACQUISITION OF SHARES.

5.   TRANSFER. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
     Company agrees to transfer 75,000 shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser.
     The transfer shall occur at the offices of the Company on the date set
     forth above.

6.   CONSIDERATION.  The Purchaser agrees to pay $2.50, which represents Fair
     Market Value on the date hereof, for each Purchased Share. Payment shall be
     made on the date hereof in cash or cash equivalents or, at the election of
     the Purchaser, by delivery of a 50% recourse promissory note in an original
     principal amount equal to the amount of the Purchase Price for the
     Purchased Shares not otherwise paid in cash or cash equivalents (the
     "Note") (the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and made a part
     hereof), with interest on the Note set at the applicable Federal short-term
     rate in effect as of the date such Note is made, compounded annually. The
     Note shall be collateralized by a pledge of the Purchased Shares in
     accordance with a Pledge and Security Agreement (the form of which is
     attached hereto as EXHIBIT B and made a part hereof). Payments of principal
     and interest due under the Note shall be subject to acceleration under the
     terms set forth therein and in the Pledge and Security Agreement. The Note
     shall provide for a balloon payment of principal and accrued, unpaid
     interest on May 31, 2002 or, if the Employment Agreement is renewed beyond
     that date, May 31, 2003 (whichever applies, the "Maturity Date"). If
     Purchaser is then in the Service of the Company, payment of the principal
     amount of the Note and accrued, unpaid interest shall be forgiven by the
     Company as follows (i) as to the entire principal amount of the Note and
     all accrued, unpaid interest, immediately prior to a Change in Control if
     such Change in Control occurs on or before the Maturity Date, (ii) on May
     31, 2001, as to one-third of the principal amount of the Note and one-third
     of the accrued, unpaid interest, and (iii) on May 31, 2002, as to the
     entire remaining principal amount of the Note and all accrued, unpaid
     interest.

7.   TAX ELECTION.  Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he has been advised by
     the Company to seek independent tax advice regarding the availability and
     advisability of making an election under Section

                                       72
<PAGE>

     83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that any such
     election, if made, must be made within 30 days of the date the Purchased
     Shares are transferred to the Purchaser.

8.   DEFINED TERMS.  Capitalized terms not defined above are defined in
     Section J of this Agreement.

SECTION B -- REPURCHASE RIGHT.

9.   SCOPE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT.  All of the Purchased Shares initially shall be
     Restricted Shares and shall be subject to a right, but not an obligation,
     of repurchase by the Company (the "Repurchase Right"). The Purchaser shall
     not transfer, assign, encumber, sell, hypothecate, exchange or otherwise
     dispose of any Restricted Shares, except by will or the laws of descent and
     distribution. The Company shall not be required to (a) transfer on its
     books any Purchased Shares that have been sold or transferred in
     contravention of this Agreement or (b) treat as the owner of Purchased
     Shares, or otherwise accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any
     transferee to whom Purchased Shares have been transferred in contravention
     of this Agreement.

10.  CONDITION PRECEDENT TO EXERCISE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT.  Subject to the next
     paragraph of this Section B, the Repurchase Right shall be exercisable with
     respect to any or all of the Restricted Shares at any time following the
     date when the Purchaser's Service by the Company terminates for any reason,
     with or without cause, including death or disability.

11.  LAPSE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT.  The Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect
     to (a) 25,000 Shares on July 1, 2000, (b) 25,000 Shares on May 31, 2001 and
     (c) 25,000 Shares May 31, 2002, provided that in each such case the
     Purchaser continuously remains in the Service of the Company from the date
     of this Agreement up to the specified lapse date. Notwithstanding the
     immediately preceding sentence, if a Change in Control occurs while the
     Purchaser is in the Service of the Company, the Repurchase Right shall
     lapse with respect to any and all Restricted Shares immediately prior to
     the Change in Control. Except as otherwise provided in the Pledge and
     Security Agreement, the lapse of the Repurchase Right under this Agreement
     shall not affect the Company's rights regarding the Purchased Shares
     subject to the Pledge and Security Agreement.

12.  REPURCHASE PRICE.  If the Company exercises the Repurchase Right, it shall
     pay the Purchaser an amount equal to the Purchase Price, adjusted to
     reflect any intervening stock splits or reverse stock splits since the date
     of this Agreement, for each of the Restricted Shares being repurchased.

13.  EXERCISE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT.  The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable
     only by written notice delivered to the Purchaser. The notice shall set
     forth the date on which the repurchase is to be effected. Such date shall
     not be more than 30 days after the date of the notice. The certificate(s)
     representing the Restricted Shares to be repurchased shall, prior to the
     close of business on the date specified for the repurchase, be delivered to
     the Company properly endorsed for transfer. The Company shall, concurrently
     with the receipt of such certificate(s), pay to the Purchaser the purchase
     price determined according to Paragraph B.4 above. Payment shall be made
     (a) in cash or cash equivalents, (b) by canceling indebtedness to the
     Company incurred by the Purchaser in the purchase of the Restricted Shares,
     or (c) by a combination of the foregoing.

14.  ADDITIONAL SHARES OR SUBSTITUTED SECURITIES.  In the event of the
     declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary
     dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, a
     reverse stock split, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting
     the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any
     new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including
     money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of
     such transaction distributed with respect to any Restricted Shares shall
     immediately be subject to the

                                       73
<PAGE>

     Repurchase Right. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of
     such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the
     Restricted Shares. Appropriate adjustments shall also, after each such
     transaction, be made to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of
     the Repurchase Right in order to reflect any change in the Company's
     outstanding securities effected without receipt of consideration therefor;
     provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price payable for the
     Restricted Shares shall remain the same.

15.  TERMINATION OF RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.  If the Company makes available, at
     the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement,
     the consideration for the Restricted Shares to be repurchased in accordance
     with this Section B, then after such time, the person from whom such
     Restricted Shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as
     a holder of such Restricted Shares (other than the right to receive payment
     of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Restricted
     Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased in accordance with the
     applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor
     have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

16.  ESCROW.  Upon issuance, the certificates for Restricted Shares shall be
     deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the
     provisions of this Agreement. Any new, substituted or additional securities
     or other property described in Paragraph B.6 above shall immediately be
     delivered to the Company to be held in escrow, but only to the extent the
     Purchased Shares are at the time Restricted Shares. All regular cash
     dividends on Restricted Shares (or other securities at the time held in
     escrow) shall be paid directly to the Purchaser and shall not be held in
     escrow. Restricted Shares, together with any other assets or securities
     held in escrow hereunder, shall be (a) surrendered to the Company for
     repurchase and cancellation upon the Company's exercise of its Repurchase
     Right or (b) released to the Purchaser upon the Purchaser's request to the
     extent the Purchased Shares are no longer Restricted Shares nor subject to
     the pledge under the Pledge and Security Agreement (but not more frequently
     than once every three months unless the Company determines otherwise). In
     any event, all Purchased Shares with respect to which the Repurchase Right
     has lapsed (and any other vested assets and securities attributable
     thereto) and which are no longer subject to the Pledge and Security
     Agreement as a result of payment in full of the Note shall be released
     within 10 days after the Purchaser's cessation of Service.

SECTION C -- SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

         Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary, the provisions
of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the
Company and its successors and assigns and be binding upon the Purchaser and the
Purchaser's legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees, assigns and
transferees by operation of law, whether or not any such person has become a
party to this Agreement or has agreed in writing to join herein and to be bound
by the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof.

SECTION D -- NO RETENTION RIGHTS.

         Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Purchaser any right to
continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or
otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or
Subsidiary employing or retaining the Purchaser) or of the Purchaser, which
rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at
any time and for any reason, with or without cause or notice, subject in all
cases to the terms of the Employment Agreement and any successor thereto.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

                  THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the
1st day of July 2000 ("Effective Date") by and between Raymond Hood, a
resident of Dallas, Texas (the "Employee"), and EXE Technologies, Inc., a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
(the "Company") with its headquarters in Dallas, Texas.

                  WHEREAS, since the commencement of its operations on
September 15, 1997, the Company has employed the Employee as its Chief
Executive Officer and President; and

                  WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the
Employee and the Employee desires to continue to be employed by the Company
for a period of time in the future upon the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
obligations contained herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, agree as follows:

         1.       EMPLOYMENT AND TERM. The Company hereby employs the Employee
and the Employee hereby accepts employment with the Company for the position
detailed in paragraph 2, for a period of three (3) years from the Effective
Date through and ending on June 30, 2003 unless sooner terminated as provided
herein (the "Initial Term"). At the end of the Initial Term, this Agreement
shall automatically renew for successive additional periods of one (1) year
(the "Renewal Term"), unless earlier terminated by either party upon no less
than ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term or any such Renewal Term. The Initial Term of
employment and any Renewal Term hereunder, subject to the provisions of
Section 8 hereof, are hereinafter referred to as the "Term." Each twelve-month
period running from July 1 through June 30 during the Term shall be referred
to herein as an "Annual Period."

         2.       POSITION AND DUTIES. During the Term, the Employee shall
serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In such
capacity, the Employee, subject to the ultimate control and direction of the
Board of Directors of the Company, shall have and exercise direct charge of
and general supervision over the business and affairs of the Company. In
addition, the Employee shall have such other duties, functions,
responsibilities, and authority as are from time to time delegated to the
Employee by the Board of Directors of the Company, provided that such duties,
functions, responsibilities, and authority are reasonable and customary for a
person serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of an enterprise
comparable to the Company. The Employee shall report and be accountable only
to the Board of Directors of the Company.

                                       1
<PAGE>

         3.       OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. During the Term, the Employee
shall devote his full time, skill, and attention and his best efforts to the
business and affairs of the Company to the extent necessary to discharge
fully, faithfully and efficiently the duties and responsibilities delegated
and assigned to the Employee herein or pursuant hereto, except for usual,
ordinary, and customary periods of vacation and absence due to illness or
other disability. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Employee's (i)
serving as a director of other entities that are not competitive with the
Company, (ii) involvement in community or charitable activities, or (iii)
personal or family investment-related activities, so long as such activities
do not materially and adversely interfere with the Employee's duties under
this Agreement.

         4.       COMPENSATION AND RELATED MATTERS. The Company shall pay the
Employee, and the Employee hereby agrees to accept, as compensation for all
services rendered hereunder and for the Employee's intellectual property
covenants and assignments and covenant not to compete as provided for in
Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof, the compensation set forth in this Section 4.

                  4.1.    SALARY. The Company shall pay the Employee an
initial base salary of $250,000.00 per annum (the "Base Salary"). The Base
Salary shall be inclusive of all applicable income, social security and other
taxes and charges that are required by law to be withheld by the Company, are
requested to be withheld by the Employee, and shall be withheld and paid in
accordance with the Company's normal payroll practice for its similarly
situated employees from time to time in effect. The Base Salary may be
increased annually by the Compensation Committee of the Company in its
discretion, provided, however, that at no time shall Employee's salary be less
than the Base Salary.

                  4.2.     LOAN. The parties acknowledge as of the date hereof
the Employee's total indebtedness to the Company collectively amounts to one
hundred twenty thousand dollars ($120,000.00) (the "Prior Debt"). The Prior
Debt shall be renewed and extended and, in addition, the Company shall loan
the Employee an additional five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00), which
combined with the Prior Debt shall equal an aggregate amount of six hundred
twenty thousand dollars ($620,000.00) (the "Loan"), evidenced by a promissory
note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The notes
evidencing the Prior Debt shall be marked canceled and shall be returned to
Employee upon execution of the promissory note in the amount of $620,000.00.
The Loan shall become due and payable upon the third anniversary of the
Effective Date and interest shall be payable annually at a rate of eight and
one half percent (8.5%); provided, however, that notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that (i) the
Employee's employment with the Company is terminated because of the Employee's
death or Disability (as such term is hereinafter defined), or (ii) the
Employee's employment with the Company is terminated without Cause or for Good
Reason following a Change in Control (such as terms are hereafter defined),
the then unpaid amount thereof shall be forgiven by the Company. As security
for the Loan, the Employee shall enter into a Stock Pledge Agreement in the
form attached as Exhibit B hereto pursuant to which the Employee shall pledge
to the Company 77,500 shares of the Class A Common Stock of the

                                       2
<PAGE>

Company. The Loan is being made to facilitate the Employee's other financial
commitments and not to purchase any additional capital stock of the Company.

                  4.3.     BONUS PROGRAM. During each Annual Period, the
Company will pay an annual cash bonus to the Employee based upon the
achievement of criteria to be determined as mutually agreed upon in writing
by the Employee and the Board of Directors of the Company within 60 days of
the Effective Date. The Employee's bonus target will be one hundred percent
(100%) of the Employee's Base Salary. The Employee's actual bonus payments
will vary depending on Company performance and will be payable quarterly in
accordance with the Company's normal practices.

                  4.4.     APARTMENT. The Company shall continue to provide
Employee with an apartment to use as his residence in Dallas, Texas through
December 31, 2000.

                  4.5.     EQUITY PARTICIPATION.

                           (a) The Employee acknowledges that the Company
granted the Employee stock options (the "Option") to purchase shares of the
Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company ("Common
Stock") as listed in the chart below. The exercise price of the Option is
also listed in the chart below. Except as may otherwise be provided herein,
the Option shall continue to vest in accordance with the schedule set forth
on Exhibit "C."

such expenses are documented and submitted to the Company in accordance with
the reimbursement policies of the Company.

                  4.8.     VACATIONS. During the Term, the Employee shall be
entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation each year. The Employee shall
also be entitled to all paid holidays given by the Company to its senior
executives. The Employee agrees to utilize his vacation at such time or times
as are (i) consistent with the proper performance of his duties and
responsibilities hereunder and (ii) mutually convenient for the Company and

directly or indirectly divulge to any third-party or use for his/her own
benefit, or for any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Company,
any confidential, proprietary, business and technical information or trade
secrets of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (the
"Proprietary Information") revealed, obtained or developed in the course of
his/her employment with the Company. Proprietary Information shall include,
but shall not be limited to: the intangible personal property described in
Section 6(b) hereof; any information relating to methods of production,

with, the terms of contracts and agreements with, the needs and requirements
of, and the Company's course of dealing with, the Company's actual and
prospective customers, contractors and suppliers; and any other materials

ability to make such disclosures: (i) during the course of his employment as
may be necessary or appropriate to the effective and efficient discharge of
his duties; (ii) as such disclosures may be required by law; or, (iii) in
accordance with the prior consent of the Company duly authorized by its Board
of Directors. Furthermore, nothing contained herein shall restrict the
Employee from divulging or using for his/her own benefit or for any other
purpose any Proprietary Information that is readily available to the general
public so long as such information did not become available to the general
public as a direct or indirect result of the Employee's breach of this
Section 5. Failure by the Company to mark any of the Proprietary Information
as confidential or proprietary shall not affect its status as Proprietary
Information under the terms of this Agreement.

         6.       PROPERTY.

                           (a) All right, title and interest in and to
Proprietary Information shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property
of the Company. During the Term, the Employee shall not remove from the
Company's offices or premises any documents, records, notebooks, files,
correspondence, reports, memoranda or similar materials of or containing
Proprietary Information, or other materials or property of any kind belonging
to the Company unless necessary or appropriate for the performance of his
duties and responsibilities and, in the event that such materials or property
are removed, all of the foregoing shall be returned to their proper files or
places of safekeeping as promptly as possible after the removal shall serve
its specific purpose. The Employee shall not make, retain, remove and/or
distribute any copies of any of the foregoing for any reason whatsoever,
except as may be necessary in the discharge of the assigned duties, and shall
not divulge to any third person the nature of and/or contents of any of the
foregoing or of any other oral or written information to which he may have
access or with which for any reason he may become familiar, except as
disclosure shall be necessary in the performance of the duties; and upon the
termination of his employment with the Company, he shall return to the
Company all originals and copies of the foregoing then in the possession,
whether prepared by the Employee or by others.

                           (b) (i) The Employee acknowledges that all right,
title and interest in and to any and all writings, documents, inventions,
discoveries, computer programs or instructions (whether in source code,

tests, research, designs, innovations, systems, analyses, specifications,

                                       5

<PAGE>

models, data, diagrams, flow charts, and/or techniques (whether reduced to
written or electronic form or otherwise) that the Employee creates, makes,
conceives, discovers or develops, either solely or jointly with any other
person, at any time during the Term, whether during working hours or at the
Company's facility or at any other time or location, and whether upon the
request or suggestion of the Company or otherwise, and that relate to or are
useful in any way in connection with the Business now or hereafter carried on
by the Company (collectively, "Intellectual Work Product") shall be the sole
and exclusive property of the Company. The Employee shall promptly disclose
to the Company all Intellectual Work Product, and the Employee shall have no
claim for additional compensation for the Intellectual Work Product.

                                    (ii) The Employee acknowledges that all
the Intellectual Work Product that is copyrightable shall be considered a
work made for hire under United States Copyright Law. To the extent that any
copyrightable Intellectual Work Product may not be considered a work made for
hire under the applicable provisions of the United States Copyright Law, or
to the extent that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Employee
may retain an interest in any Intellectual Work Product that is not
copyrightable, the Employee hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to the
Company any and all right, title, or interest that the Employee may have in
the Intellectual Work Product under copyright, patent, trade secret,
trademark and other intellectual property laws, in perpetuity or for the
longest period otherwise permitted by law, without the necessity of further
consideration. The Company shall be entitled to obtain and hold in its own
name all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and trademarks with respect
thereto.

                                    (iii) The Employee shall reveal promptly
all information relating to the Intellectual Work Product to an appropriate
officer of the Company, cooperate with the Company and execute such documents
as may be necessary or appropriate (A) in the event that the Company desires
to seek copyright, patent, trademark or other analogous protection thereafter
relating to the Intellectual Work Product, and when such protection is
obtained, renew and restore the same, or (B) to defend any opposition
proceedings in respect of obtaining and maintaining such copyright, patent,
trademark or other analogous protection.

                                    (iv) In the event that the Company is
unable after reasonable effort to secure the Employee's signature on any of
the documents referenced in Section 7(b)(iii) hereof, whether because of the
Employee's physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever,
the Employee hereby irrevocably designates and 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 behalf and stead to execute and file
any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
prosecution and issuance of any such copyright, patent, trademark or other
analogous protection with the same legal force and effect as if executed by
the Employee.

         7. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.

                                (a) The Employee shall not, anywhere in the
world, during the Term

director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise) any portion of
the business of any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity
where such portion of such business is considered a Competitive Business
(notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee may hold not more than one
percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of any class of any
publicly-traded securities of a company that is engaged in a Competitive
Business;

                                    (iii) solicit or call on for a purpose

person either (A) to terminate or modify the employment, consulting, agency,
distributorship or other arrangement with the Company, or (B) to employ or
retain, or arrange to have any other person or entity employ or retain, any
person who has been employed or retained by the Company as an employee,

                                (b) The Employee hereby acknowledges that the
limitations as to time, character or nature and geographic scope placed on
his subsequent employment by this Section 7 are reasonable and fair and will
not prevent or materially impair his ability to earn a livelihood.

         8.       EARLY TERMINATION. The Employee's employment hereunder may
be terminated during the Term upon the occurrence of any one of the events
described in this Section 8. Upon termination, the Employee shall be entitled

Company and the Employee, which may include a determination that the Employee
is unable, because of physical or mental illness or incapacity or otherwise,
to fulfill his duties under this Agreement for one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive days.

                           (b) In the event of a termination of the

the twelve (12) month period specified in 8.1(b)(i) above, in an amount equal

current target bonus on the date of termination, payable on the dates it
otherwise would have been payable; (iii) the right to exercise any stock
option held by Employee on the Disability Effective Date for the remainder of
its term, whether or not exercisable by Employee on the Disability Effective
Date; (iv) any amounts payable on Disability pursuant to any plans or

(12) month period specified in 8.2(i) above, in an amount equal to: (A) the

bonus on the date of termination, payable on the dates it otherwise would
have been payable; (iii) the right to exercise any stock option held by
Employee on the date of death for the remainder of its term, whether or not

                                       (4) if, within five (5) days after
                           Employee's hearing by the Board, he receives a
                           certified copy of a resolution duly adopted by eighty
                           percent (80%) of the full Board (exclusive of
                           Employee) confirming that in its judgment the grounds
                           for termination for (Cause) described in the initial

         13.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement contains the
entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto relating to the
subject matter hereof, and merges and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous discussions, agreements and understandings of every nature
between the parties hereto relating to the employment of the Employee with
the Company. This Agreement may not be changed or modified, except by an
agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

         14.      WAIVER. The waiver of the breach of any term or provision
of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach of this Agreement.

         15.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to
the principles of conflicts of laws of any jurisdiction.

         16.      INVALIDITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
determined to be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal for any reason, then
the validity and enforceability of all of the remaining provisions hereof
shall not be affected thereby. If any particular provision of this Agreement
shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable,

                                     14

<PAGE>

such amendment to apply only to the operation of such provision in the
particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made; provided that, if
any provision contained in this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid
or unenforceable because such provision is held to be excessively broad as to
duration, geographic scope, activity or subject, then such provision shall be
deemed amended by limiting and reducing it so as to be valid and enforceable
to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction,
such amendment only to apply with respect to the operation of such provision
in the applicable jurisdiction in which the adjudication is made.

         17.      SECTION HEADINGS. The section headings in this Agreement
are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not
affect its interpretation.

         18.      NUMBER OF DAYS. In computing the number of days for
purposes of this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays,
Sundays and legal holidays; provided that, if the final day of any time
period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or day which is a legal holiday in Texas,
then such final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is not a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

         19.      ARBITRATION. Except for claims or disputes related to the
rights and obligations of the parties set forth in Sections 5,6 and 7 hereof,
the parties hereto agree that any controversy or claims arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in
accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes
of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") as then in effect. The
parties hereto further agree that any arbitration proceeding commenced in
connection with this Agreement shall take place in Dallas, Texas under the
auspices of the AAA and judgement upon the award rendered by the
Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other
relief, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements.

         20.      SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT; EXTENSION OF PERIOD.

                           (a) The Employee acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in Sections 5, 6, and 7 hereof are reasonable and
necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its
affiliates and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in
the absence of such restrictions. The Employee also acknowledges that any
breach by him of Sections 5, 6, or 7 hereof will cause continuing and
irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an
adequate remedy. The Employee shall not, in any action or proceeding to
enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, assert the claim or defense
that an adequate remedy at law exists. In the event of such breach by the
Employee, the Company shall have the right to enforce the provisions of
Sections 5, 6, and 7 of this Agreement by seeking injunctive or other relief
in any court, and this Agreement shall not in any way limit remedies of law
or in equity otherwise available to the Company.

                           (b) The periods of time set forth in Sections 5, 6
and 7 hereof shall not include, and shall be deemed extended by, any time
required for litigation to enforce the relevant covenant periods, provided
that the Company is successful on the merits in any such litigation. The
"time required for litigation" is herein defined to mean the period of time
commencing on the earlier of the Employee's first breach of such covenants or
the service of process upon the Employee ending on the expiration of all
appeals related to such litigation.

         21.      CONSENT TO SUIT. Any dispute relating to the rights and
obligations of the parties set forth in Sections 5,6 and 7 hereof, may only
be brought in the Courts of the State of Texas in and for the County of
Dallas or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Texas. The Employee and the Company hereby consent to the jurisdiction and
venue of the courts of the State of Texas in and for the County of Dallas or
the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, provided
that such Federal Court has subject matter jurisdiction over such dispute,
and the Employee and the Company hereby waive any claim they may have at any
time as to FORUM NON CONVENIENS with respect to such venue. Any judgment
entered against either of the parties in any proceeding hereunder may be
entered and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief,
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements.

         22.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which
together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement
to be executed on this day and year first written above.
