                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                              --------------------

     This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement"), effective on the date hereof,
is entered into in Richardson, Texas by and between @TRACK Communications, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business located at 1155 Kas
Drive, Suite 100, Richardson, Texas, 75081 ("Employer"), and W. Michael Smith,
an individual residing 3236 Langley Drive, Plano, Texas,  75025  ("Executive").

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein,
Employer and Executive, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.   Employment Relationship.  Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive
     -----------------------
     hereby accepts such employment, upon the terms and conditions set forth in
     this Agreement.  Such employment relationship shall continue for the stated
     term of this Agreement, as described in Paragraph 8 hereof, unless earlier
     terminated pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof.

2.   Position and Responsibilities of Executive.  Executive shall be employed as
     ------------------------------------------
     Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing with job responsibilities
     related thereto, and such job responsibilities may be expanded at the sole
     discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors of
     Employer.  Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer and/or
     Board of Directors of Employer and shall devote such time, skill and
     attention to the business of Employer as shall be required for the
     efficient management thereof, and shall manage and supervise such business,
     and shall devote his full time best efforts to the faithful performance of
     his duties on behalf of Employer.  If Executive is the Chief Executive
     Officer, such Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the
     Company.  Executive shall also perform such other duties, and may have job
     responsibilities and titles modified from time to time as may be requested
     by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors of Employer,
     provided such duties and job titles are generally consistent with the level
     of responsibility currently held by Executive.  Executive's duties shall be
     performed at the Employer's corporate headquarters in Richardson, Texas.
     The location at which Executive performs his duties shall not be relocated
     more than 30 miles from Employer's corporate headquarters on the date
     hereof, without Executive's written consent, provided that the Executive
     may be required to travel and/or work from time to time on a non-permanent
     basis wherever the Employer shall reasonably require.  Executive shall not
     engage in additional gainful employment of any kind or undertake any role
     or position, whether or not for compensation, with any competitor of
     Employer during the term of this Agreement without advance written approval
     of the Board of Directors of Employer.

3.   Compensation.  For all services rendered by Executive pursuant to this
     ------------
     Agreement, Employer shall pay to Executive, and Executive shall accept as
     full compensation hereunder the following:

     a.   Salary.  Executive shall receive a salary of $14,175.00 per month
          ------
          payable by Employer in semi-monthly amounts in Richardson, Texas.
          Executive's salary
<PAGE>

          shall be subject to all appropriate federal and state withholding
          taxes and shall be payable in accordance with the normal payroll
          procedures of Employer. Employer shall not reduce Executive's salary
          without Executive's written consent. The Company shall review for
          potential increase such Executive's annual base salary on or about
          January 1 of each calendar year.

     b.   Benefits and Perquisites.  Executive shall be entitled to participate
          ------------------------
          in the Executive benefit plans provided by Employer for all employees
          generally, and for executive employees of Employer.  Employer shall be
          entitled to change such plans from time to time, and the parties
          acknowledge that at the initial date of this Agreement the fringe
          benefits provided to Executive include a corporate 401(k) plan,
          health, dental, life, short and long-term disability insurance for the
          Executive, and reimbursement of certain expenses in accordance with
          the policies and procedures of Employer.

     c.   Discretionary Bonuses. The Board of Directors of Employer shall
          ---------------------
          establish a discretionary incentive bonus plan for Executive based on
          various targets and performance criteria to be established by the
          Board of Directors of Employer.  The evaluation of the performance of
          Executive as measured by the applicable targets and the awarding of
          applicable bonuses, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the
          Board of Directors of Employer.  The maximum annual bonus which may be
          awarded to Executive shall be in the amount of thirty percent (30%) of
          Executive's annual base salary at each calendar year end of Employer
          during the term of this Agreement, pro-rated for partial years of
          employment.  The annual discretionary bonus may be awarded in whole,
          in part, based on the level of incentive bonus plan performance
          criteria achieved by Executive, in the sole judgement of the Board of
          Directors of Employer. If Executive terminates this Agreement prior to
          the expiration of the initial one (1) year term or if Employer
          terminates this Agreement for Cause as per Paragraph 5(b), the
          Executive will not be paid any Discretionary Bonus, in whole or in
          part.

     d.   Stock Options.  Employer shall grant to Executive 484,120 stock
          -------------
          options (the "New Options") pursuant to the @Track Communications,
          Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"); provided, however, that such New
          Options shall become vested and exercisable three (3) years from date
          of grant.  Additionally, if Executive is terminated without cause,
          such New Options shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable
          for a period of sixty (60) days from such date of termination without
          cause.  If Executive fails to exercise such New Options within sixty
          (60) days of the date of termination, such New Options shall be
          forfeited.  Executive currently holds 29,200 stock options previously
          issued under the Plan of which 15,880 are fully vested and
          exercisable.  Upon execution of this Agreement, Executive hereby
          forfeits any stock options previously issued under the Plan which are
          not fully vested and exercisable at the time of the signing of this
          Agreement.

4.   Protective Covenants.  Executive recognizes that his employment by Employer
     --------------------
     is one of the highest trust and confidence because (i) Executive has become
     and/or in the future
<PAGE>

     will become fully familiar with all aspects of Employer's business during
     the period of his employment with Employer, (ii) certain information of
     which Executive will gain knowledge during his employment by Employer is
     proprietary and confidential information and is of special and peculiar
     value to Employer, and (iii) if any such proprietary and confidential
     information were imparted to or became known by any person, including
     Executive, engaging in a business in competition with that of Employer,
     hardship, loss and irreparable injury and damage could result to Employer,
     the measurement of which would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain.
     Executive further acknowledges that Employer has developed unique skills,
     concepts, sales presentations, marketing programs, marketing strategy,
     business practices, methods of operation, pricing information, production
     cost information, trademarks, licenses, technical information, proprietary
     information, computer software programs, tapes and discs concerning its
     operations systems, customer lists, customer leads, documents identifying
     past, present and future customers, customer profile and preference data,
     hiring and training methods, investment policies, financial and other
     confidential and proprietary information concerning its operations and
     expansion plans ("Trade Secrets"). Therefore, Executive agrees that it is
     necessary for Employer to protect its business and that of its affiliates
     from such damage, and Executive further agrees that the following covenants
     constitute a reasonable and appropriate means, consistent with the best
     interest of both Executive and Employer, to protect Employer or its
     affiliates against damage due to loss or disclosure of proprietary
     information or Trade Secrets and shall apply to and be binding upon
     Executive as provided herein:

     a.   Trade Secrets.  Executive recognizes that his position with Employer
          -------------
          is one of the highest trust and confidence by reason of Executive's
          access to and contact with certain Trade Secrets of Employer.
          Executive agrees and covenants that, except as may be required by
          Employer in connection with this Agreement, or with the prior written
          consent of Employer, Executive shall not, either during the term of
          this Agreement or at any time thereafter, directly or indirectly, use
          for Executive's own benefit or for the benefit of another, or
          disclose, disseminate, or distribute to another, except as directed by
          Employer or as required for the performance of Executive's duties on
          behalf of the Employer, any Trade Secret (whether or not acquired,
          learned, obtained, or developed by Executive alone or in conjunction
          with others) of Employer or of others with whom Employer has a
          business relationship.  All Trade Secrets, and all memoranda, notes,
          records, drawings, documents, or other writings whatsoever made,
          compiled, acquired, or received by Executive at any time during his
          employment with Employer, including during the term of this Agreement,
          arising out of, in connection with, or related to any activity or
          business of Employer, including, but not limited to, the customers,
          suppliers, or others with whom Employer has a business relationship,
          the arrangements of Employer with such parties, and the pricing and
          expansion policies and strategy of Employer, are, and shall continue
          to be, the sole and exclusive property of Employer and shall, together
          with all copies thereof, any and all documents constituting or
          relating to Employer's proprietary information and Trade Secrets, and
          all advertising literature, be returned and delivered to Employer by
          Executive immediately, without demand, upon the termination of this
          Agreement, or at any time upon Employer's demand.
<PAGE>

               Executive acknowledges that Employer would not employ Executive
          or provide Executive access to Employer's Trade Secrets and
          proprietary and confidential information but for Executive's covenants
          in this Paragraph 4.

               Executive represents and warrants that he is not bound by any
          agreement with any prior employer or other party that will be breached
          by execution and performance of this Agreement, or which would
          otherwise prevent him from performing his duties with Employer as set
          forth in this Agreement.  Executive represents and warrants that he
          has not retained any copies of proprietary and confidential
          information of any prior employer, and he will not use or rely on any
          confidential and proprietary information of any prior employer in
          carrying out her duties for Employer.

     b.   Covenant Not to Compete. In consideration of the numerous mutual
          -----------------------
          promises contained in the Agreement between Employer and the
          Executive, including, without limitation, those involving access to
          Trade Secrets and confidential information and training, and in order
          to protect Employer's Trade Secrets and the confidential information
          and to reduce the likelihood of irreparable damage which would occur
          in the event such information is provided to or used by a competitor
          of Employer, Executive agrees that during his employment and for an
          additional period of twelve (12) months immediately following the
          voluntary or involuntary termination of his employment for any reason
          whatsoever (the "Non-Competition Term"), Executive will not, without
          the prior written consent of Employer (which consent may be withheld
          in its sole discretion), enter the employ of any person or entity,
          either directly or indirectly either as principal, agent,
          representative, shareholder (except owning publicly traded stock for
          investment purposes only in which Executive owns less than 5%)
          consultant, officer, business partner, associate, Executive or
          otherwise, with a place of business in the United States of America
          and/or Canada, which sells or offers to sell services and/or products
          which compete directly with the services and/or products offered or to
          be offered for sale by Employer.

               Executive hereby acknowledges that the geographic boundaries,
          scope of prohibited activities and the time duration of the provisions
          of this Section 4 are reasonable and are no broader than are necessary
          to protect the legitimate business interests of the Employer.

          The Employer and Executive agree and stipulate that the agreements and
          covenants not to compete contained in Paragraph 4 hereof are fair and
          reasonable in light of all of the facts and circumstances of the
          relationship between Executive and Employer; however, Executive and
          Employer are aware that in certain circumstances courts have refused
          to enforce certain provisions of agreements not to compete.
          Therefore, in furtherance of, and not in derogation of the provisions
          of Paragraph 4, Employer and Executive agree that in the event a court
          should decline to enforce the provisions of Paragraph 4, that
          Paragraph 4 shall be deemed to be modified or reformed to restrict
          Executive's competition with Employer or
<PAGE>

          its affiliates to the maximum extent, as to time, geography and
          business scope, which the court shall find enforceable; provided,
          however, in no event shall the provisions of Paragraph 4 be deemed to
          be more restrictive to Executive than those contained herein.

     c.   Non-Solicitation.  Executive agrees that during his employment, and
          -----------------
          for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his
          employment for any reason whatsoever, that neither he nor any
          individual, partner(s), limited partnership, corporation or other
          entity or business with which he is in any way affiliated, including,
          without limitation, any partner, limited partner, director, officer,
          shareholder, Executive, or agent of any such entity or business, will
          (i)  request, induce or attempt to influence, directly or indirectly,
          any employee of Employer to terminate their employment with Employer
          or (ii) employ any person who as of the date of this Agreement was, or
          after such date, is an employee of Employer.  Executive further agrees
          that during the period beginning with the commencement of Executive's
          employment with Employer and ending twelve (12) months after the
          termination of Executive's employment with Employer for any reason
          whatsoever, he shall not, directly or indirectly, as an Executive,
          agent, consultant, stockholder, director, partner or in any other
          individual or representative capacity of Employer or of any other
          person, entity or business, solicit or encourage any present or future
          customer, supplier, contractor, partner or investor of the Employer to
          terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with
          Employer.

     d.   Work Product.  For purposes of this Paragraph 4, "Work Product" shall
          ------------
          mean all intellectual property rights, including all trade secrets,
          U.S. and international copyrights, patentable inventions, discoveries
          and other intellectual property rights in any programming, design,
          documentation, technology, or other work product that is created in
          connection with Executive's work.  In addition, all rights in any
          preexisting programming, design, documentation, technology, or other
          Work Product provided to Employer during Executive's employment shall
          automatically become part of the Work Product hereunder, whether or
          not it arises specifically out of my "Work."  For purposes of this
          Agreement, "Work" shall mean (1) any direct assignments and required
          performance by or for the Employer, and (2) any other productive
          output that relates to the business of the Employer and is produced
          during the course of Executive's employment or engagement by Employer.
          For this purpose, Work may be considered present even after normal
          working hours, away from Employer's premises, on an unsupervised
          basis, alone or with others.  Unless otherwise approved in writing by
          the Board of Directors of Employer, this Agreement shall apply to all
          Work Product created in connection with all Work conducted before or
          after the date of this Agreement.

          Employer shall own all rights in the Work Product.  To this end, all
          Work Product shall be considered work made for hire for Employer.  If
          any of the Work Product may not, by operation of law or agreement, be
          considered Work made by Executive for hire for the Employer (or if
          ownership of all rights therein do not
<PAGE>

          otherwise vest exclusively in the Employer immediately), Executive
          agrees to assign, and upon creation thereof does hereby automatically
          assign, with further consideration, the ownership thereof to the
          Employer. Executive hereby irrevocably relinquishes for the benefit of
          Employer and its assigns any moral rights in the Work Product
          recognized by applicable law. Employer shall have the right to obtain
          and hold, in whatever name or capacity it selects, copyrights,
          registrations, and any other protection available in the Work Product.

          Executive agrees to perform upon the request of Employer, during or
          after Executive's Work or employment, such further acts as may be
          necessary or desirable to transfer, perfect, and defend the Employer's
          ownership of the Work Product, including by (1) executing,
          acknowledging, and delivering any requested affidavits and documents
          of assignment and conveyance, (2) obtaining and/or aiding in the
          enforcement of copyrights, trade secrets, and (if applicable) patents
          with respect to the Work Product in any countries, and (3) providing
          testimony in connection with any proceeding affecting the rights of
          the Employer in any Work Product.

          Executive warrants that Executive's Work for Employer does not and
          will not in any way conflict with any remaining obligations Executive
          may have with any prior employer or contractor. Executive also agrees
          to develop all Work Product in a manner that avoids even the
          appearance of infringement of any third party's intellectual property
          rights.

     e.   Survival of Covenants.  Each covenant of Executive set forth in this
          ---------------------
          Paragraph 4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall
          be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of
          this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of
          Executive against Employer whether predicated on this Agreement or
          otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by
          Employer of said covenant.  No modification or waiver of any covenant
          contained in Paragraph 4 shall be valid unless such waiver or
          modification is approved in writing by the Board of Directors of
          Employer.

     f.   Remedies.  In the event of breach or threatened breach by Executive of
          --------
          any provision of this Paragraph 4, Employer shall be entitled to
          relief by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or
          permanent injunction or otherwise, in addition to other legal and
          equitable relief to which it may be entitled, including any and all
          monetary damages which Employer may incur as a result of said breach,
          violation or threatened breach or violation.  Employer may pursue any
          remedy available to it concurrently or consecutively in any order as
          to any breach, violation, or threatened breach or violation, and the
          pursuit of one of such remedies at any time will not be deemed an
          election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other of
          such remedies as to such breach, violation, or threatened breach or
          violation, or as to any other breach, violation, or threatened breach
          or violation.

          Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive's agreement to be bound
<PAGE>

          by the protective covenants set forth in this Paragraph 4 was a
          material inducement for Employer entering into this Agreement,
          agreeing to pay Executive the compensation and benefits set forth
          herein, and providing Executive access to Employer's Trade Secrets and
          other confidential information.

5.   Termination. The employment relationship between Executive and Employer
     -----------
     created hereunder shall terminate before the expiration of the stated term
     of this Agreement upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:

     a.   Death or Permanent Disability.  The employment relationship shall be
          -----------------------------
          terminated effective on the death or permanent disability of the
          Executive. However, Executive shall be entitled to leaves of absence
          from the Company in accordance with the policy of the Company
          generally applicable to executives for illness or temporary
          disabilities for a period or periods not exceeding six (6) months in
          any calendar year, and his status as an Executive shall continue
          during such periods.  However, if the Executive qualifies for short
          term disability payments under Employer's standard short term
          disability plan during such leave, Executive shall apply to receive
          such short term disability payments. Employer shall supplement such
          short term disability payments during the first three (3) months of
          any such six (6) month period so that Executive receives such monthly
          amounts when combined with the short term disability payments to equal
          Executive's monthly compensation as set forth in paragraph 3(a) of
          this Agreement.  However, during the last three (3) months of any such
          six (6) month period, Executive shall accept payments under Employer's
          standard short term disability plan in lieu of any salary payments set
          forth in Section 3(a) above.  If Executive is incapacitated due to
          physical or mental illness and such incapacity prevents Executive from
          satisfactorily performing his duties for the Company on a full time
          basis for six (6) months or more during a single fiscal year,
          Executive shall be deemed to have experienced a permanent disability
          and the Company may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days
          written notice.  In the event that Employer terminates this Agreement
          on the basis of the Executive's permanent disability, the Executive
          shall be entitled to a cash payment equal to the Executive's annual
          salary as of the date of termination.  The Company shall make such
          payment within thirty (30) days of such termination.

     b.   Termination for Cause. The following events, which for purposes of
          ---------------------
          this Agreement shall constitute "cause" for termination:

          i.   Any act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement by Executive
               with respect to any aspect of Employer's business;

          ii.  The breach by Executive of any provision of Paragraphs 1, 2 or 4
               (including but not limited to a refusal to follow lawful
               directives of the Board of Directors of Employer or their
               designees which are not inconsistent with the duties of
               Executive's position and the provisions of this Agreement) of
               this Agreement;
<PAGE>

          iii. The conviction of Executive by a court of competent jurisdiction
               of a felony or of a crime involving moral turpitude;

          iv.  The intentional and material breach by the Executive of any non-
               disclosure or non-competition/non-solicitation provision of any
               agreement to which the Executive and Employer or any of its

          required to perform any services for Employer other than to assist
          Employer in training his successor and generally preparing for an
          orderly transition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Executive shall be
          entitled to compensation upon such termination as provided in
          Paragraph 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) below.

6.   Compensation Upon Termination.  Upon the termination of Executive's
     -----------------------------
     employment under this Agreement before the expiration of the stated term
     hereof for any reason, Executive shall be entitled to:

          above:

          i.   a cash payment equal to monthly salary payments for the duration
               of the Initial Term of this Agreement or any Renewal Term as set
               forth in Paragraph 8 below when and as such salary payments would

     Executive shall have no obligation to mitigate any severance obligation of
     Employer under this Agreement by seeking new employment.  Employer shall
     not be entitled to set off or reduce any severance payments owed to
     Executive under this Agreement by the amount of earnings or benefits
     received by Executive in future employment.  The provisions of Paragraphs

          iv.  the stockholders of Employer approve a plan of complete
               liquidation of Employer or any agreement for the sale or

               responsibilities without the Executive's prior written consent;

          ii.  the change of the location where the Executive is based to a
               location which is more than fifty (50) miles from his present

          iii. any reduction of the Executive's annual base salary and bonus
               from the highest annual base salary and bonus actually paid to
               Executive during the two (2) years immediately preceding the
               Change of Control.

          Executive shall give Employer fifteen (15) business days notice of an
          intent terminate this Agreement for "Good Reason" as defined in this
          Paragraph 7, and provide the Employer with ten (10) business days

     c.  Benefits Upon Change in Control.
         -------------------------------

          i.   Severance Benefits.  If the Executive's employment with Employer

               is terminated (i) by Employer (or by the acquiring or successor
               business entity following a Change of Control) other than for
               Cause or death, or
<PAGE>

               (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, in either event within a
               period beginning one hundred and eighty (180) days before, and
               ending two (2) years after, the date of a Change of Control (the
               "Change Period"), the Executive shall receive a cash severance
               benefit in an amount equal to the sum of:

               (1)  200% of the Executive's highest annual cash base salary in
                    effect within two (2) years immediately preceding the Change
                    of Control; plus

               (2)  the greater of: a) the average of the Executive's annual
                    bonuses paid for the two (2) calendar years immediately
                    preceding the Change of Control or b) $35,000.

               In addition, for eighteen (18) months following the date of
               termination of the Executive's employment in circumstances in
               which a severance payment is due hereunder, Employer shall
               provide the Executive, at Employer's expense,  health and other
               welfare benefits that are not less favorable to the Executive
               than those to which he was entitled immediately prior to the
               Change in Control. Provided however, Employer shall have no
               obligation to provide Executive with any compensation under this
               Paragraph 7 if Executive is in breach or violation of any of the
               covenants contained in Paragraph 4, which are applicable to the
               Executive at the time of the severance payment.

          ii.  Form of Payment.  The amount of the severance benefit provided in
               ---------------
               Paragraph 7(c)(i) hereof shall be paid to Executive thirty (30)
               days after termination.

          iii. Gross-Up Payments.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
               -----------------
               notwithstanding, in the event that a severance payment is made
               under this Agreement and it shall be determined (as hereafter
               provided) that any payment (other than the Gross-Up Payments
               provided for herein) or distribution by Employer or any of its
               affiliates to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid
               or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms
               of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any
               other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, or the
               lapse or termination of any restriction on, or the vesting or
               exercisability of any of the foregoing (a "Payment"), excluding,
               however, any stock option or right in respect of restricted
               stock, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
               of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (or
               any successor provision thereto), by reason of being considered
               "contingent on a change in ownership or control" of Employer,
               within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor
               provision thereto) or to any similar tax imposed by state or
               local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such tax
               (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and
               penalties, being hereafter collectively
<PAGE>

               referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be
               entitled to receive an additional payment or payments
               (collectively, a "Gross-Up Payment"); provided, however, that no
                                                     ------------------
               Gross-Up Payment shall be made with respect to the Excise Tax, if
               any, imposed upon (i) any stock option, including without
               limitation any incentive stock option, as defined by Section 422
               of the Code ("ISO") granted prior to the execution of this
               Agreement or (ii) any stock appreciation or similar right,
               whether or not limited, granted in tandem with an ISO described
               in clause (i). The Gross-Up Payment shall be in an amount such
               that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any
               interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
               including an Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the
               Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the
               Excise Tax imposed upon the Payment. The procedural provisions
               relating to Gross-Up Payments set forth in Annex A hereto are
               hereby incorporated herein by this reference.

     d.   No Mitigation or Offset.  The Executive shall not be required to
          -----------------------
          mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Paragraph 7 of
          this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. Employer
          shall not be entitled to set off or reduce any severance payments owed
          to Executive under Paragraph 7 by the amount of earnings or benefits
          received by Executive in future employment.

     e.   Transaction Exclusion.  Employer and Executive agree that the
          ---------------------
          provisions of this Paragraph 7 shall not apply to the @Track
          Communications, Inc. and Minor Planet transaction of June 20, 2001.

     confidential information is provided to Executive prior to such date), and
     shall remain in effect for one (1) year thereafter, unless sooner
     terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5 hereof.  This Agreement shall be
     deemed to be renewed for a month-to-month term after its initial term
     ("Renewal Term"), unless the parties execute an express written renewal
     agreement which specifies a different term or either party exercises its
     right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to the provisions herein.
     Following the expiration of the Initial Term, Executive may terminate the
     Agreement only upon six (6) months prior written notice to Employer, except
     for a termination by Executive for Good Reason under Section 7 (b).

     a.   Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
          parties' respective rights and obligations under Paragraphs 3, 4, 6
          and 7 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or

     its favor. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10 below, the parties hereto agree and
     acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach
     of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole
     discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction
     for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce or
     prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

10.  Arbitration.  Except as Provided in Paragraph 9 above, any controversy or
     -----------
     claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or relating to
     Executive's rights, compensation and responsibilities as an Executive shall
     be determined by arbitration in Dallas County, Texas in accordance with the
     rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.  The
     arbitration shall be submitted to a single arbitrator selected in
     accordance with the American Arbitration Association's procedures then in
     effect for the selection of employment arbitrators.  The parties shall
     split the cost of the arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall have the authority
     to award any remedy that could be awarded by a court of competent
     jurisdiction.  This Paragraph 10 shall survive termination of this
     Agreement for any reason.

11.  Assignment.  This Agreement is personal to Executive and may not be
     ----------
     assigned in any way by Executive without the prior written consent of
     Employer.  This Agreement shall not be assignable or delegable by Employer,

     representatives of Executive and upon the successors, representatives and
     assigns of Employer.

12.  Severability and Reformation. The parties hereto intend all provisions of
     ----------------------------
     this Agreement to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.  If,
     however, any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or
     unenforceable under present or future law, such provision shall be fully
     severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such
     illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision were never a part hereof, and
     the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall
     not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by
     its severance.

                                    -------

                     GROSS-UP PAYMENT PROCEDURAL PROVISIONS

     (a)  Subject to the provision of Paragraph (e) hereof, all determinations
required to be made under Paragraph 6 of the Agreement, including whether an
Excise Tax is payable by the Executive and the amount of such Excise Tax and
whether a Gross-Up Payment is required to be paid by Employer to the Executive
and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, if any, shall be made by a Top 5
accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm") selected by the Executive in her sole
discretion.  The Executive shall direct the Accounting Firm to submit its
determination and detailed supporting calculations to both Employer and the
Executive within thirty (30) calendar days after the Termination Date, if
applicable, and any such other time or times as may be requested by Employer or
the Executive.  If the Accounting Firm determines that any Excise Tax is payable
by the Executive, Employer shall pay the required Gross-Up Payment to the
Executive within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such determination
and calculations with respect to any Payment to the Executive.  If the
Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it
shall, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish Employer and the
Executive an opinion that the Executive has substantial authority not to report
any Excise Tax on her federal, state or local income or other tax return.  As a
result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code (or any
successor provision thereto) and the possibility of similar uncertainty
regarding applicable state or local tax law at the time of any determination by
the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which shall
not have been made by Employer should have been made (an "Underpayment"),
consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder.  In the event
that Employer exhausts or fails to pursue its remedies pursuant to Paragraph (e)
hereof and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise
Tax, the Executive shall direct the Accounting Firm to determine the amount of
the Underpayment that has occurred and to submit its determination and detailed
supporting calculations to both Employer and the Executive as promptly as
possible. Any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Employer to, or for
the benefit of, the Executive within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of
such determination and calculations.

          (b) Employer and the Executive shall each provide the Accounting Firm
access to and copies of any books, records and documents in the possession of
Employer or the Executive, as the case may be, reasonably requested by the
Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection
with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations
contemplated by Paragraph (a) hereof.  Any determination by the Accounting Firm
as to the amount of the Gross-Up Payment shall be binding upon Employer and the
Executive.

          (c) The federal, state and local income or other tax returns filed by
the Executive shall be prepared and filed on a consistent basis with the
determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to the Excise Tax payable by
the Executive.  The Executive shall make proper payment of the amount of any
Excise Payment, and at the request of Employer, provide to Employer true and
correct copies (with any amendments) of her federal income tax return as filed
with the Internal Revenue Service and corresponding state and local tax returns,
if relevant, as filed with the applicable taxing authority, and such other
documents reasonably requested by Employer, evidencing such payment.  If prior
to the filing of the Executive's federal income tax
<PAGE>

return, or corresponding state or local tax return, if relevant, the Accounting
Firm determines that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment should be reduced, the
Executive shall within fifteen (15) business days pay to Employer the amount of
such deduction.

          (d) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in
connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by Paragraph
(a) hereof shall be paid by Employer.  If such fees and expenses are initially
paid by the Executive, Employer shall reimburse the Executive the full amount of
such fees and expenses within fifteen (15) business days after receipt from the
Executive of a statement therefor and reasonable evidence of her payment
thereof.

          (e) The Executive shall notify Employer in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority that, if successful,
would require the payment by Employer of a Gross-Up Payment.  Such notification
shall be given as promptly as practicable but no later than ten (10) business
days after the Executive actually receives notice of such claim and the
Executive shall further apprise Employer of the nature of such claim and the
date on which such claim is requested to be paid (in each case, to the extent
known by the Executive).  The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the thirty (30) calendar-day period following
the date on which he gives such notice to Employer and (ii) the date that any
payment of amount with respect to such claim is due.  If Employer notifies the
Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to
contest such claim, the Executive shall:

          (i) provide Employer with any written records or documents in her
     possession relating to such claim reasonably requested by Employer;

          (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
     Employer shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including
     without limitation accepting legal representation with respect to such
     claim by an attorney competent in respect of the subject matter and
     reasonably selected by Employer;

          (iii) cooperate with Employer in good faith in order effectively to
     contest such claim, and

          (iv) permit Employer to participate in any proceedings relating to
such claim;

provided, however, that Employer shall bear and pay directly all costs and
------------------
expenses (including interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such
contest and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Executive, on an after-tax
basis, for and against any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and
penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of such representation and
payment of costs and expenses.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of
this Paragraph (e), Employer shall control all proceedings taken in connection
with the contest of any claim contemplated by this Paragraph (e) and, at its
sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of
such claim (provided, however, that the Executive may participate therein at her
own cost and expense) and may, at its option, either direct the Executive to pay
the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible
manner, and the Executive agrees to
<PAGE>

prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in
a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Employer
shall determine; provided, however, that if Employer directs the Executive to
                 ------------------
pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund, Employer shall advance the amount of
such payment to the Executive on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and
hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or
income or other tax, including interest or penalties with respect thereto,
imposed with respect to such advance; and provided further, however, that any
                                          -------------------------
extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the
taxable year of the Executive with respect to which the contested amount is
claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore,
Employer's control of any such contested claim shall be limited to issues with
respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive
shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue
raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

          (f)   If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by
Employer pursuant to Paragraph (e) hereof, the Executive receives any refund
with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to Employer's complying
with the requirements of Paragraph (e) hereof) promptly pay to Employer the
amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after
any taxes applicable thereto).  If, after the receipt by the Executive of an
amount advanced by Employer pursuant to Paragraph (e) hereof, a determination is
made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such
claim and Employer does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to
contest such denial or refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar
days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not
be required to be repaid and the amount of any such advance shall offset, to the
extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid by Employer
to the Executive pursuant to this Paragraph 7(c)(iii) of the Agreement.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                              --------------------

     This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement"), effective on the date hereof,
is entered into in Richardson, Texas by and between @TRACK Communications, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business located at 1155 Kas
Drive, Suite 100, Richardson, Texas, 75081 ("Employer"), and Robert LaMere, an
individual residing 708 West Briarbrook, Carl Junction, Missouri, 64834
("Executive").

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein,
Employer and Executive, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.   Employment Relationship.  Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive
     -----------------------
     hereby accepts such employment, upon the terms and conditions set forth in
     this Agreement.  Such employment relationship shall continue for the stated
     term of this Agreement, as described in Paragraph 8 hereof, unless earlier
     terminated pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof.

2.   Position and Responsibilities of Executive.  Executive shall be employed as
     ------------------------------------------
     Senior Vice President - Platinum Services with job responsibilities related
     thereto, and such job responsibilities may be expanded at the sole
     discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors of
     Employer.  Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer and/or
     Board of Directors of Employer and shall devote such time, skill and
     attention to the business of Employer as shall be required for the
     efficient management thereof, and shall manage and supervise such business,
     and shall devote his full time best efforts to the faithful performance of
     his duties on behalf of Employer.  If Executive is the Chief Executive
     Officer, such Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the
     Company.  Executive shall also perform such other duties, and may have job
     responsibilities and titles modified from time to time as may be requested
     by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors of Employer,
     provided such duties and job titles are generally consistent with the level
     of responsibility currently held by Executive.  Executive's duties shall be
     performed at the Employer's facility located in Joplin, Missouri.  The
     location at which Executive performs his duties shall not be relocated more
     than 30 miles from Employer's facility located in Joplin, Missouri on the
     date hereof, without Executive's written consent, provided that the
     Executive may be required to travel and/or work from time to time on a non-
     permanent basis wherever the Employer shall reasonably require.  Executive
     shall not engage in additional gainful employment of any kind or undertake
     any role or position, whether or not for compensation, with any competitor
     of Employer during the term of this Agreement without advance written
     approval of the Board of Directors of Employer.

3.   Compensation.  For all services rendered by Executive pursuant to this
     ------------
     Agreement, Employer shall pay to Executive, and Executive shall accept as
     full compensation hereunder the following:

     a.   Salary.  Executive shall receive a salary of $12,815.42 per month
          ------
          payable by Employer in semi-monthly amounts in Richardson, Texas.
          Executive's salary
<PAGE>

          shall be subject to all appropriate federal and state withholding
          taxes and shall be payable in accordance with the normal payroll
          procedures of Employer. Employer shall not reduce Executive's salary
          without Executive's written consent. The Company shall review for
          potential increase such Executive's annual base salary on or about
          January 1 of each calendar year.

     b.   Benefits and Perquisites.  Executive shall be entitled to participate
          ------------------------
          in the Executive benefit plans provided by Employer for all employees
          generally, and for executive employees of Employer.  Employer shall be
          entitled to change such plans from time to time, and the parties
          acknowledge that at the initial date of this Agreement the fringe
          benefits provided to Executive include a corporate 401(k) plan,
          health, dental, life, short and long-term disability insurance for the
          Executive, and reimbursement of certain expenses in accordance with
          the policies and procedures of Employer.

     c.   Discretionary Bonuses. The Board of Directors of Employer shall
          ---------------------
          establish a discretionary incentive bonus plan for Executive based on
          various targets and performance criteria to be established by the
          Board of Directors of Employer.  The evaluation of the performance of
          Executive as measured by the applicable targets and the awarding of
          applicable bonuses, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the
          Board of Directors of Employer.  The maximum annual bonus which may be
          awarded to Executive shall be in the amount of thirty percent (30%) of
          Executive's annual base salary at each calendar year end of Employer
          during the term of this Agreement, pro-rated for partial years of
          employment.  The annual discretionary bonus may be awarded in whole,
          in part, based on the level of incentive bonus plan performance
          criteria achieved by Executive, in the sole judgement of the Board of
          Directors of Employer. If Executive terminates this Agreement prior to
          the expiration of the initial one (1) year term or if Employer
          terminates this Agreement for Cause as per Paragraph 5(b), the
          Executive will not be paid any Discretionary Bonus, in whole or in
          part.

     d.   Stock Options.  Employer shall grant to Executive 393,120 stock
          -------------
          options (the "New Options") pursuant to the @Track Communications,
          Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"); provided, however, that such New
          Options shall become vested and exercisable three (3) years from date
          of grant.  Additionally, if Executive is terminated without cause,
          such New Options shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable
          for a period of sixty (60) days from such date of termination without
          cause.  If Executive fails to exercise such New Options within sixty
          (60) days of the date of termination, such New Options shall be
          forfeited.  Executive currently holds 10,200 stock options previously
          issued under the Plan of which 6,880 are fully vested and exercisable.
          Upon execution of this Agreement, Executive hereby forfeits any stock
          options previously issued under the Plan which are not fully vested
          and exercisable at the time of the signing of this Agreement.

4.   Protective Covenants.  Executive recognizes that his employment by Employer
     --------------------
     is one of the highest trust and confidence because (i) Executive has become
     and/or in the future
<PAGE>

     will become fully familiar with all aspects of Employer's business during
     the period of his employment with Employer, (ii) certain information of
     which Executive will gain knowledge during his employment by Employer is
     proprietary and confidential information and is of special and peculiar
     value to Employer, and (iii) if any such proprietary and confidential
     information were imparted to or became known by any person, including
     Executive, engaging in a business in competition with that of Employer,
     hardship, loss and irreparable injury and damage could result to Employer,
     the measurement of which would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain.
     Executive further acknowledges that Employer has developed unique skills,
     concepts, sales presentations, marketing programs, marketing strategy,
     business practices, methods of operation, pricing information, production
     cost information, trademarks, licenses, technical information, proprietary
     information, computer software programs, tapes and discs concerning its
     operations systems, customer lists, customer leads, documents identifying
     past, present and future customers, customer profile and preference data,
     hiring and training methods, investment policies, financial and other
     confidential and proprietary information concerning its operations and
     expansion plans ("Trade Secrets"). Therefore, Executive agrees that it is
     necessary for Employer to protect its business and that of its affiliates
     from such damage, and Executive further agrees that the following covenants
     constitute a reasonable and appropriate means, consistent with the best
     interest of both Executive and Employer, to protect Employer or its
     affiliates against damage due to loss or disclosure of proprietary
     information or Trade Secrets and shall apply to and be binding upon
     Executive as provided herein:

     a.   Trade Secrets.  Executive recognizes that his position with Employer
          -------------
          is one of the highest trust and confidence by reason of Executive's
          access to and contact with certain Trade Secrets of Employer.
          Executive agrees and covenants that, except as may be required by
          Employer in connection with this Agreement, or with the prior written
          consent of Employer, Executive shall not, either during the term of
          this Agreement or at any time thereafter, directly or indirectly, use
          for Executive's own benefit or for the benefit of another, or
          disclose, disseminate, or distribute to another, except as directed by
          Employer or as required for the performance of Executive's duties on
          behalf of the Employer, any Trade Secret (whether or not acquired,
          learned, obtained, or developed by Executive alone or in conjunction
          with others) of Employer or of others with whom Employer has a
          business relationship.  All Trade Secrets, and all memoranda, notes,
          records, drawings, documents, or other writings whatsoever made,
          compiled, acquired, or received by Executive at any time during his
          employment with Employer, including during the term of this Agreement,
          arising out of, in connection with, or related to any activity or
          business of Employer, including, but not limited to, the customers,
          suppliers, or others with whom Employer has a business relationship,
          the arrangements of Employer with such parties, and the pricing and
          expansion policies and strategy of Employer, are, and shall continue
          to be, the sole and exclusive property of Employer and shall, together
          with all copies thereof, any and all documents constituting or
          relating to Employer's proprietary information and Trade Secrets, and
          all advertising literature, be returned and delivered to Employer by
          Executive immediately, without demand, upon the termination of this
          Agreement, or at any time upon Employer's demand.
<PAGE>

               Executive acknowledges that Employer would not employ Executive
          or provide Executive access to Employer's Trade Secrets and
          proprietary and confidential information but for Executive's covenants
          in this Paragraph 4.

               Executive represents and warrants that he is not bound by any
          agreement with any prior employer or other party that will be breached
          by execution and performance of this Agreement, or which would
          otherwise prevent him from performing his duties with Employer as set
          forth in this Agreement.  Executive represents and warrants that he
          has not retained any copies of proprietary and confidential
          information of any prior employer, and he will not use or rely on any
          confidential and proprietary information of any prior employer in
          carrying out her duties for Employer.

     b.   Covenant Not to Compete. In consideration of the numerous mutual
          -----------------------
          promises contained in the Agreement between Employer and the
          Executive, including, without limitation, those involving access to
          Trade Secrets and confidential information and training, and in order
          to protect Employer's Trade Secrets and the confidential information
          and to reduce the likelihood of irreparable damage which would occur
          in the event such information is provided to or used by a competitor
          of Employer, Executive agrees that during his employment and for an
          additional period of twelve (12) months immediately following the
          voluntary or involuntary termination of his employment for any reason
          whatsoever (the "Non-Competition Term"), Executive will not, without
          the prior written consent of Employer (which consent may be withheld
          in its sole discretion), enter the employ of any person or entity,
          either directly or indirectly either as principal, agent,
          representative, shareholder (except owning publicly traded stock for
          investment purposes only in which Executive owns less than 5%)
          consultant, officer, business partner, associate, Executive or
          otherwise, with a place of business in the United States of America
          and/or Canada, which sells or offers to sell services and/or products
          which compete directly with the services and/or products offered or to
          be offered for sale by Employer.

               Executive hereby acknowledges that the geographic boundaries,
          scope of prohibited activities and the time duration of the provisions
          of this Section 4 are reasonable and are no broader than are necessary
          to protect the legitimate business interests of the Employer.

          The Employer and Executive agree and stipulate that the agreements and
          covenants not to compete contained in Paragraph 4 hereof are fair and
          reasonable in light of all of the facts and circumstances of the
          relationship between Executive and Employer; however, Executive and
          Employer are aware that in certain circumstances courts have refused
          to enforce certain provisions of agreements not to compete.
          Therefore, in furtherance of, and not in derogation of the provisions
          of Paragraph 4, Employer and Executive agree that in the event a court
          should decline to enforce the provisions of Paragraph 4, that
          Paragraph 4 shall be deemed to be modified or reformed to restrict
          Executive's competition with Employer or
<PAGE>

          its affiliates to the maximum extent, as to time, geography and
          business scope, which the court shall find enforceable; provided,
          however, in no event shall the provisions of Paragraph 4 be deemed to
          be more restrictive to Executive than those contained herein.

     c.   Non-Solicitation.  Executive agrees that during his employment, and
          -----------------
          for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his
          employment for any reason whatsoever, that neither he nor any
          individual, partner(s), limited partnership, corporation or other
          entity or business with which he is in any way affiliated, including,
          without limitation, any partner, limited partner, director, officer,
          shareholder, Executive, or agent of any such entity or business, will
          (i)  request, induce or attempt to influence, directly or indirectly,
          any employee of Employer to terminate their employment with Employer
          or (ii) employ any person who as of the date of this Agreement was, or
          after such date, is an employee of Employer.  Executive further agrees
          that during the period beginning with the commencement of Executive's
          employment with Employer and ending twelve (12) months after the
          termination of Executive's employment with Employer for any reason
          whatsoever, he shall not, directly or indirectly, as an Executive,
          agent, consultant, stockholder, director, partner or in any other
          individual or representative capacity of Employer or of any other
          person, entity or business, solicit or encourage any present or future
          customer, supplier, contractor, partner or investor of the Employer to
          terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with
          Employer.

     d.   Work Product.  For purposes of this Paragraph 4, "Work Product" shall
          ------------
          mean all intellectual property rights, including all trade secrets,
          U.S. and international copyrights, patentable inventions, discoveries
          and other intellectual property rights in any programming, design,
          documentation, technology, or other work product that is created in
          connection with Executive's work.  In addition, all rights in any
          preexisting programming, design, documentation, technology, or other
          Work Product provided to Employer during Executive's employment shall
          automatically become part of the Work Product hereunder, whether or
          not it arises specifically out of my "Work."  For purposes of this
          Agreement, "Work" shall mean (1) any direct assignments and required
          performance by or for the Employer, and (2) any other productive
          output that relates to the business of the Employer and is produced
          during the course of Executive's employment or engagement by Employer.
          For this purpose, Work may be considered present even after normal
          working hours, away from Employer's premises, on an unsupervised
          basis, alone or with others.  Unless otherwise approved in writing by
          the Board of Directors of Employer, this Agreement shall apply to all
          Work Product created in connection with all Work conducted before or
          after the date of this Agreement.

          Employer shall own all rights in the Work Product.  To this end, all
          Work Product shall be considered work made for hire for Employer.  If
          any of the Work Product may not, by operation of law or agreement, be
          considered Work made by Executive for hire for the Employer (or if
          ownership of all rights therein do not
<PAGE>

          otherwise vest exclusively in the Employer immediately), Executive
          agrees to assign, and upon creation thereof does hereby automatically
          assign, with further consideration, the ownership thereof to the
          Employer. Executive hereby irrevocably relinquishes for the benefit of
          Employer and its assigns any moral rights in the Work Product
          recognized by applicable law. Employer shall have the right to obtain
          and hold, in whatever name or capacity it selects, copyrights,
          registrations, and any other protection available in the Work Product.

          Executive agrees to perform upon the request of Employer, during or
          after Executive's Work or employment, such further acts as may be
          necessary or desirable to transfer, perfect, and defend the Employer's
          ownership of the Work Product, including by (1) executing,
          acknowledging, and delivering any requested affidavits and documents
          of assignment and conveyance, (2) obtaining and/or aiding in the
          enforcement of copyrights, trade secrets, and (if applicable) patents
          with respect to the Work Product in any countries, and (3) providing
          testimony in connection with any proceeding affecting the rights of
          the Employer in any Work Product.

          Executive warrants that Executive's Work for Employer does not and
          will not in any way conflict with any remaining obligations Executive
          may have with any prior employer or contractor. Executive also agrees
          to develop all Work Product in a manner that avoids even the
          appearance of infringement of any third party's intellectual property
          rights.

     e.   Survival of Covenants.  Each covenant of Executive set forth in this
          ---------------------
          Paragraph 4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall
          be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of
          this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of
          Executive against Employer whether predicated on this Agreement or
          otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by
          Employer of said covenant.  No modification or waiver of any covenant
          contained in Paragraph 4 shall be valid unless such waiver or
          modification is approved in writing by the Board of Directors of
          Employer.

     f.   Remedies.  In the event of breach or threatened breach by Executive of
          --------
          any provision of this Paragraph 4, Employer shall be entitled to
          relief by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or
          permanent injunction or otherwise, in addition to other legal and
          equitable relief to which it may be entitled, including any and all
          monetary damages which Employer may incur as a result of said breach,
          violation or threatened breach or violation.  Employer may pursue any
          remedy available to it concurrently or consecutively in any order as
          to any breach, violation, or threatened breach or violation, and the
          pursuit of one of such remedies at any time will not be deemed an
          election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other of
          such remedies as to such breach, violation, or threatened breach or
          violation, or as to any other breach, violation, or threatened breach
          or violation.

               Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive's agreement to be
          bound
<PAGE>

          by the protective covenants set forth in this Paragraph 4 was a
          material inducement for Employer entering into this Agreement,
          agreeing to pay Executive the compensation and benefits set forth
          herein, and providing Executive access to Employer's Trade Secrets and
          other confidential information.

5.   Termination. The employment relationship between Executive and Employer
     -----------
     created hereunder shall terminate before the expiration of the stated term
     of this Agreement upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:

     a.   Death or Permanent Disability.  The employment relationship shall be
          -----------------------------
          terminated effective on the death or permanent disability of the
          Executive. However, Executive shall be entitled to leaves of absence
          from the Company in accordance with the policy of the Company
          generally applicable to executives for illness or temporary
          disabilities for a period or periods not exceeding six (6) months in
          any calendar year, and his status as an Executive shall continue
          during such periods.  However, if the Executive qualifies for short
          term disability payments under Employer's standard short term
          disability plan during such leave, Executive shall apply to receive
          such short term disability payments. Employer shall supplement such
          short term disability payments during the first three (3) months of
          any such six (6) month period so that Executive receives such monthly
          amounts when combined with the short term disability payments to equal
          Executive's monthly compensation as set forth in paragraph 3(a) of
          this Agreement.  However, during the last three (3) months of any such
          six (6) month period, Executive shall accept payments under Employer's
          standard short term disability plan in lieu of any salary payments set
          forth in Section 3(a) above.  If Executive is incapacitated due to
          physical or mental illness and such incapacity prevents Executive from
          satisfactorily performing his duties for the Company on a full time
          basis for six (6) months or more during a single fiscal year,
          Executive shall be deemed to have experienced a permanent disability
          and the Company may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days
          written notice.  In the event that Employer terminates this Agreement
          on the basis of the Executive's permanent disability, the Executive
          shall be entitled to a cash payment equal to the Executive's annual
          salary as of the date of termination.  The Company shall make such
          payment within thirty (30) days of such termination.

     b.   Termination for Cause. The following events, which for purposes of
          ---------------------
          this Agreement shall constitute "cause" for termination:

          i.   Any act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement by Executive
               with respect to any aspect of Employer's business;

          ii.  The breach by Executive of any provision of Paragraphs 1, 2 or 4
               (including but not limited to a refusal to follow lawful
               directives of the Board of Directors of Employer or their
               designees which are not inconsistent with the duties of
               Executive's position and the provisions of this Agreement) of
               this Agreement;
<PAGE>

          iii. The conviction of Executive by a court of competent jurisdiction
               of a felony or of a crime involving moral turpitude;

          iv.  The intentional and material breach by the Executive of any non-
               disclosure or non-competition/non-solicitation provision of any
               agreement to which the Executive and Employer or any of its
               subsidiaries are parties; or

          v.   The intentional and continual failure by the Executive to perform
               in all material respects his duties and responsibilities (other
               than as a result of death or disability) and the failure of the
               Executive to cure the same in all material respects within thirty
               (30) days after written notice thereof from Employer;

          vi.  The illegal use of drugs by Executive during the term of this
               Agreement that, in the determination of the Board of Directors of
               Employer, substantially interferes with Executive's performance
               of his duties hereunder;

          vii. acceptance of employment with any other employer except upon
               written permission of the Board of Directors of Employer.

     c.   Termination by Employer with Notice.  Employer may terminate this
          -----------------------------------
          Agreement without cause at any time upon thirty (30) days written
          notice to Executive, during which period Executive shall not be
          required to perform any services for Employer other than to assist
          Employer in training his successor and generally preparing for an
          orderly transition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Executive shall be
          entitled to compensation upon such termination as provided in
          Paragraph 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) below.

6.   Compensation Upon Termination.  Upon the termination of Executive's
     -----------------------------
     employment under this Agreement before the expiration of the stated term
     hereof for any reason, Executive shall be entitled to:

     a.   the salary earned by him before the effective date of termination as
          provided in Paragraph 3(a) hereof (including salary payable during any
          applicable notice period), prorated on the basis of the number of full
          days of service rendered by Executive during the salary payment period
          to the effective date of termination;

     b.  any accrued, but unpaid, vacation benefits; and

     c.  any previously authorized but unreimbursed business expenses.

          If Executive's employment hereunder terminates because of the death or
     permanent disability of Executive, all amounts that may be due to her under
     this
<PAGE>

          above:

          i.   a cash payment equal to monthly salary payments for the duration
               of the Initial Term of this Agreement or any Renewal Term as set
               forth in Paragraph 8 below when and as such salary payments would
               have been come due had the Executive's employment not have been
               terminated; provided, however, that such payment shall under no
               circumstances be less than an amount equal to six (6) months of
               monthly salary for such Executive.

          ii.  continued medical insurance benefits, at Employer's expense, for
               a period of twelve (12) months.

          The Employer shall pay the severance amounts referenced in this
     Paragraph 6(d) within thirty (30) days of the date of termination.  Such
     payments shall be subject to the "gross up" provisions of Annex A hereto.
     Executive shall have no obligation to mitigate any severance obligation of
     Employer under this Agreement by seeking new employment.  Employer shall
     not be entitled to set off or reduce any severance payments owed to
     Executive under this Agreement by the amount of earnings or benefits
     received by Executive in future employment.  The provisions of Paragraphs
     4, 5 and 6 hereof shall survive the termination of the employment
     relationship hereunder and this Agreement.

               stockholders of Employer in substantially the same proportions as
               their ownership of Common Stock of Employer, becomes the

               Act), of securities of Employer representing thirty-five percent

               the directors then still in office who either were directors at
               the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for

               voting securities of the surviving entity) more than eighty
               percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the voting
               securities of Employer or such surviving entity outstanding
               immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (B) a merger
               or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of

          iii. any reduction of the Executive's annual base salary and bonus
               from the highest annual base salary and bonus actually paid to
               Executive during the two (2) years immediately preceding the
               Change of Control.

          Executive shall give Employer fifteen (15) business days notice of an

               benefit in an amount equal to the sum of:

               (1)  200% of the Executive's highest annual cash base salary in

                    of Control; plus

               (2)  the greater of: a) the average of the Executive's annual
                    bonuses paid for the two (2) calendar years immediately

          iii. Gross-Up Payments.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
               -----------------
               notwithstanding, in the event that a severance payment is made
               under this Agreement and it shall be determined (as hereafter
               provided) that any payment (other than the Gross-Up Payments
               provided for herein) or distribution by Employer or any of its

               of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any
               other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, or the
               lapse or termination of any restriction on, or the vesting or
               exercisability of any of the foregoing (a "Payment"), excluding,
               however, any stock option or right in respect of restricted
               stock, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
               of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (or
               any successor provision thereto), by reason of being considered
               "contingent on a change in ownership or control" of Employer,
               within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor
               provision thereto) or to any similar tax imposed by state or
               local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such tax
               (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and
               penalties, being hereafter collectively
<PAGE>

               referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be
               entitled to receive an additional payment or payments
               (collectively, a "Gross-Up Payment"); provided, however, that no
                                                     ------------------
               Gross-Up Payment shall be made with respect to the Excise Tax, if
               any, imposed upon (i) any stock option, including without
               limitation any incentive stock option, as defined by Section 422
               of the Code ("ISO") granted prior to the execution of this
               Agreement or (ii) any stock appreciation or similar right,
               whether or not limited, granted in tandem with an ISO described
               in clause (i). The Gross-Up Payment shall be in an amount such
               that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any
               interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
               including an Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the
               Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the
               Excise Tax imposed upon the Payment. The procedural provisions
               relating to Gross-Up Payments set forth in Annex A hereto are
               hereby incorporated herein by this reference.

     d.   No Mitigation or Offset.  The Executive shall not be required to
          -----------------------
          mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Paragraph 7 of
          this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. Employer

          received by Executive in future employment.

     e.   Transaction Exclusion.  Employer and Executive agree that the
          ---------------------

     confidential information is provided to Executive prior to such date), and
     shall remain in effect for one (1) year thereafter, unless sooner
     terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5 hereof.  This Agreement shall be
     deemed to be renewed for a month-to-month term after its initial term

     right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to the provisions herein.
     Following the expiration of the Initial Term, Executive may terminate the
     Agreement only upon six (6) months prior written notice to Employer, except

     discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction
     for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce or
     prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

     rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.  The
     arbitration shall be submitted to a single arbitrator selected in
     accordance with the American Arbitration Association's procedures then in
     effect for the selection of employment arbitrators.  The parties shall
     split the cost of the arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall have the authority

                                    Annex A
                                    -------

                     GROSS-UP PAYMENT PROCEDURAL PROVISIONS

     (a)  Subject to the provision of Paragraph (e) hereof, all determinations
required to be made under Paragraph 6 of the Agreement, including whether an
Excise Tax is payable by the Executive and the amount of such Excise Tax and
whether a Gross-Up Payment is required to be paid by Employer to the Executive
and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, if any, shall be made by a Top 5
accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm") selected by the Executive in her sole
discretion.  The Executive shall direct the Accounting Firm to submit its
determination and detailed supporting calculations to both Employer and the
Executive within thirty (30) calendar days after the Termination Date, if
applicable, and any such other time or times as may be requested by Employer or
the Executive.  If the Accounting Firm determines that any Excise Tax is payable
by the Executive, Employer shall pay the required Gross-Up Payment to the
Executive within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such determination
and calculations with respect to any Payment to the Executive.  If the
Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it
shall, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish Employer and the
Executive an opinion that the Executive has substantial authority not to report
any Excise Tax on her federal, state or local income or other tax return.  As a
result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code (or any
successor provision thereto) and the possibility of similar uncertainty
regarding applicable state or local tax law at the time of any determination by
the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which shall
not have been made by Employer should have been made (an "Underpayment"),
consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder.  In the event
that Employer exhausts or fails to pursue its remedies pursuant to Paragraph (e)
hereof and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise
Tax, the Executive shall direct the Accounting Firm to determine the amount of
the Underpayment that has occurred and to submit its determination and detailed
supporting calculations to both Employer and the Executive as promptly as
possible. Any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Employer to, or for
the benefit of, the Executive within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of
such determination and calculations.

          (b) Employer and the Executive shall each provide the Accounting Firm
access to and copies of any books, records and documents in the possession of
Employer or the Executive, as the case may be, reasonably requested by the
Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection
with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations
contemplated by Paragraph (a) hereof.  Any determination by the Accounting Firm
as to the amount of the Gross-Up Payment shall be binding upon Employer and the
Executive.

          (c) The federal, state and local income or other tax returns filed by
the Executive shall be prepared and filed on a consistent basis with the
determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to the Excise Tax payable by
the Executive.  The Executive shall make proper payment of the amount of any
Excise Payment, and at the request of Employer, provide to Employer true and
correct copies (with any amendments) of her federal income tax return as filed
with the Internal Revenue Service and corresponding state and local tax returns,
if relevant, as filed with the applicable taxing authority, and such other
documents reasonably requested by Employer, evidencing such payment.  If prior
to the filing of the Executive's federal income tax
<PAGE>

return, or corresponding state or local tax return, if relevant, the Accounting
Firm determines that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment should be reduced, the
Executive shall within fifteen (15) business days pay to Employer the amount of
such deduction.

          (d) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in
connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by Paragraph
(a) hereof shall be paid by Employer.  If such fees and expenses are initially
paid by the Executive, Employer shall reimburse the Executive the full amount of
such fees and expenses within fifteen (15) business days after receipt from the
Executive of a statement therefor and reasonable evidence of her payment
thereof.

          (e) The Executive shall notify Employer in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority that, if successful,
would require the payment by Employer of a Gross-Up Payment.  Such notification
shall be given as promptly as practicable but no later than ten (10) business
days after the Executive actually receives notice of such claim and the
Executive shall further apprise Employer of the nature of such claim and the
date on which such claim is requested to be paid (in each case, to the extent
known by the Executive).  The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the thirty (30) calendar-day period following
the date on which he gives such notice to Employer and (ii) the date that any
payment of amount with respect to such claim is due.  If Employer notifies the
Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to
contest such claim, the Executive shall:

          (i) provide Employer with any written records or documents in her
     possession relating to such claim reasonably requested by Employer;

          (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
     Employer shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including
     without limitation accepting legal representation with respect to such
     claim by an attorney competent in respect of the subject matter and
     reasonably selected by Employer;

          (iii) cooperate with Employer in good faith in order effectively to
     contest such claim, and

          (iv) permit Employer to participate in any proceedings relating to
     such claim;

provided, however, that Employer shall bear and pay directly all costs and
------------------
expenses (including interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such
contest and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Executive, on an after-tax
basis, for and against any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and
penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of such representation and
payment of costs and expenses.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of
this Paragraph (e), Employer shall control all proceedings taken in connection
with the contest of any claim contemplated by this Paragraph (e) and, at its
sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of
such claim (provided, however, that the Executive may participate therein at her
own cost and expense) and may, at its option, either direct the Executive to pay
the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible
manner, and the Executive agrees to
<PAGE>

prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in
a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Employer
shall determine; provided, however, that if Employer directs the Executive to
                 ------------------
pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund, Employer shall advance the amount of
such payment to the Executive on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and
hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or
income or other tax, including interest or penalties with respect thereto,
imposed with respect to such advance; and provided further, however, that any
                                          -------------------------
extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the
taxable year of the Executive with respect to which the contested amount is
claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore,
Employer's control of any such contested claim shall be limited to issues with
respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive
shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue
raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

          (f)   If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by
Employer pursuant to Paragraph (e) hereof, the Executive receives any refund
with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to Employer's complying
with the requirements of Paragraph (e) hereof) promptly pay to Employer the
amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after
any taxes applicable thereto).  If, after the receipt by the Executive of an
amount advanced by Employer pursuant to Paragraph (e) hereof, a determination is
made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such
claim and Employer does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to
contest such denial or refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar
days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not
be required to be repaid and the amount of any such advance shall offset, to the
extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid by Employer
to the Executive pursuant to this Paragraph 7(c)(iii) of the Agreement.
