                in duties, position or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Parent

                reduction of more than ten percent (10%) by the Company of Executive’s
                Company Salary as in effect either on the Effective Date or immediately
                prior to such reduction (other than as part of an overall reduction

    In
      each
      case, prior to Executive being permitted to resign from his employment due
      to a
“Constructive Termination”, the Company will have thirty (30) days to cure any
      such alleged breach, assignment, reduction or requirement, after Executive
      provides the Company written
      notice of the actions or omissions constituting such breach, assignment,
      reduction or requirement.

                of the Exempt Salary, if the employer paid, in addition, the Disability
                Insurance Payment; and in such case, the Employer’s Payments shall come in
                lieu of only 72% of the employee’s severance pay. In the event that the
                employer has made payments in the employee’s name, in addition to the
                foregoing payments, to a severance pay provident fund or to an Insurance
                Fund in the employee’s name, to supplement severance pay in an amount of 2
                1/3% of the Exempt Salary, the Employer’s Payments shall come in lieu of

                to severance pay was denied by a final judgment pursuant to Section
                17 of
                the Law, and in such a case or in cases in which the employee withdrew
                monies from the Pension Fund or Insurance Fund, other than by reason
                of an
                entitling event; for these purposes an “Entitling Event” means death,

                agreement with respect to compensation in excess of the Exempt

      corporation, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns
      (collectively, the “Company”) and in consideration of my receipt of confidential
      information upon execution of this Agreement and my receipt of the compensation
      now and hereafter paid to me by Company, I agree to the following terms and

      Agreement (the “Agreement”) which shall be effective as of the date set forth in
      the signature block (“Effective Date”) 

    

    
      	1.	
              Confidentiality

            

    

    

    I
      will
      regard and retain as confidential and will not divulge to any third party,
      or
      use for any unauthorized purposes either during or after the term of my service
      with the Company, any Confidential Information, as defined below, that I have
      acquired during my service or in connection with my service or contacts with
      the
      Company’s Entities, except as necessary in the ordinary course of performing my
      authorized duties on behalf of the Company’s Entities.

    

    
      	2.	
              Confidential
                Information

            

    

    

    “Confidential
      Information” shall include, but will not be limited to, information regarding
      research and development related to actual or anticipated products, inventions,

    Immediately
      upon execution of this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide me with certain
      Confidential Information regarding the Company, regardless of whether or not
      I
      am employed by the Company at such time (“Initial Disclosure”). Following the
      Initial Disclosure of Confidential Information, the Company may make available
      to me additional Confidential Information that will enable me to optimize the
      performance of my duties to the Company. Except for the Initial Disclosure,
      I

      its Confidential Information after the termination of my employment

    

    
      	3.	
              Return

      databases, and any other material of any kind and in any form that contains
      Confidential Information, coming into my possession or prepared by me in
      connection with my service, are the exclusive property of the Company’s Entities
      (hereinafter the “Documents”). I agree to return to the Company’s Entities all
      such Documents upon termination of my employment, unless I acquire the Company’s
      specific written consent to release any such Document.

              Ownership
                Rights

            

    

    

    Without
      additional compensation and consideration, I hereby assign and will in the
      future irrevocably assign to the Company, and acknowledge and will in the future
      acknowledge the Company’s exclusive right (including any ‘moral’ right),
      domestic and foreign, to any and all intellectual property, including, without
      limitations, all inventions, mask works, discoveries, and works of authorship,
      whether capable of being patented or copyrighted or not, which I may conceive,
      make, develop, author, or work on, in whole or in part, independently, or

      are either (i) related to the Company’s Entities’ business; (ii) related to the
      Company’s Entities’ research and development; (iii) developed in whole or in
      part on the Company’s time or with the use of any Company’s equipment, supplies,

      I performed for the Company (hereinafter the “Company’s Entities’ Intellectual
      Property”). To the extent allowed by applicable law, I agree to waive any moral
      rights I may have in the Company’s Entities’ Intellectual Property.

    

    
      	5.	
              Disclosure
                and Record of
                Inventions

            

    

    

    I

      within the Company’s Entities’ Intellectual Property (hereinafter the
“Inventions”). I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records
      of all Inventions during the term of my employment with the Company’s Entities.
      The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and any other
      format that may be specified by the Company’s Entities. The records will be
      available to and remain the Company’s Entities’ sole property at all
      times.

              Employee
                Assistance

            

    

    

    I
      will,
      at the Company’s Entities’ expense, assist in preparation and registration of
      patents and any other intellectual property right in favor of the Company’s
      Entities, in any jurisdiction deemed appropriate by the Company’s Entities. Such
      assistance shall include, without limitation, the preparation of documents,
      drawings and other data and execution of assignments, applications and other
      forms. I agree to perform this obligation during and after my service with

      Company’s Entities. In order to give full effect to this section I hereby
      irrevocably appoint the Company’s Entities (and their representatives) as my
      attorneys in fact, authorized in my name and on my behalf to execute all such
      documents.

              No
                Conflicting
                Obligations

      that third party and present it to the Company’s Entities. I undertake not to
      perform any activity related to my employment with the Company’s Entities on the
      premises of any third party, or while using any equipment or materials that
      belong to any such third party, unless instructed to do so by the Company’s
      Entities.

      	8.	
              Third
                Party Information

            

    

    

    I
      recognize that the Company’s Entities have received and will in the future
      receive from third parties such third parties’ confidential or proprietary
      information, subject to a duty on the Company’s Entities’ part to maintain the
      confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited
      purposes. I agree to hold all such confidential or proprietary information
      in
      the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person or entity or
      to
      use it except as necessary in carrying out my services for the Company’s
      Entities, consistent with the Company’s Entities’ agreement with such third
      party.

    

    
      	9.	
              Non-Solicitation

            

    

    

    I
      agree
      that for a period of one (1) year immediately following the termination of
      my
      relationship with the Company’s Entities for any reason, whether with or without
      cause, at the option either of the Company’s Entities or myself, with or without
      notice, I will not, either directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, recruit
      or
      encourage any of the Company’s Entities’ employees to leave their employment, or
      hire or take away such employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit,
      encourage, hire or take away employees of the Company’s Entities, either for
      myself or for any other person or entity.

    

    
      	10.	
              Covenant
                Not to Compete.

            

    

    

    I
      agree
      that during the course of my employment and for a period of one (1) year
      immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company for
      any reason, whether with or without cause, at the option either of the Company
      or myself, with or without notice, I will not, either directly or indirectly,
      (i) serve as an advisor, agent, consultant, director, employee, officer,
      partner, proprietor or otherwise of, (ii) have any ownership interest in (except
      for passive ownership of one percent (1%) or less of any entity whose securities
      have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
      Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or (iii)
      participate in the organization, financing, operation, management or control
      of,
      any business in competition with the Company’s Entities business as conducted by
      the Company during the course of my employment with the Company. The foregoing
      covenant shall cover my activities in every part of the Territory. “Territory”
shall mean (i) all counties in the State of Texas, (ii) all other states of
      the
      United States of America and (iii) all other countries of the world; provided
      that, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), the Company’s Entities maintain
      non-trivial operations, facilities, or customers in such geographic area prior
      to the date of the termination of my relationship with the Company.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -5-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    I
      acknowledge that my fulfillment of the obligations contained in this Agreement,
      including, but not limited to, my obligation neither to use, except for the
      benefit of the Company’s Entities, or to disclose the Confidential Information
      of the Company’s Entities and my obligation not to compete contained in the
      preceding paragraph is necessary to protect the Company’s Entities’ Confidential
      Information and to preserve the Company’s Entities value and goodwill. I further
      acknowledge the time, geographic and scope limitations of my obligations under
      the paragraph above are reasonable, especially in light of the Company’s
      Entities desire to protect its Confidential Information, and that I will not
      be
      precluded from gainful employment if I am obligated not to compete with the
      Company Entities during the period and within the Territory as described
      above.

    

    The
      covenants contained in the first paragraph of this Section 10 shall be construed
      as a series of separate covenants, one for each city, county and state of any
      geographic area in the Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such
      separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained
      in the first paragraph of this Section 10. If, in any judicial proceeding,
      a
      court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof),
      then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this
      Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants
      (or
      portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event the provisions of the first
      paragraph of this Section 10 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope
      limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed
      to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, then
      permitted by such law.

    

    
      	11.	
              Interference

            

    

    

    I
      agree
      that during the course of my employment and for a period of one (1) year
      immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company’s
      Entities for any reason, whether with or without cause, at the option either
      of
      the Company’s Entities or myself, with or without notice, I will not, either
      directly or indirectly, interfere with the Company’s Entities’ customer
      relationships.

    

    
      	12.	
              Breach
                of Obligation

            

    

    

    I
      am
      aware that a breach of any of the obligations under this Agreement will cause
      the Company’s Entities’ serious and irreparable harm, to which no monetary
      compensation can be an appropriate remedy. Therefore, I agree that if such
      a
      breach occurs, the Company’s Entities shall be entitled, without prejudice, to
      take all legal means necessary, including any injunctive relief, to restrain
      any
      continuation or further breach of this Agreement, without any objection from
      me
      and without the necessity of posting bond.

    

    
      	
              13.

            	
              Assignment

            

    

    

    This
      Agreement may be assigned by the Company. I may not assign or delegate my
      obligations under this Agreement without the Company's prior written approval.
      Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be null and
      void.

      (which shall be enforceable on the terms described) shall remain in full force
      after termination, for any reason, of my employment with the
      Company.

            	(d)	
              In
                each case, prior to Executive being permitted to resign from his
                employment due to a “Constructive Termination”, the Company will have
                thirty (30) days to cure any such alleged breach, assignment, reduction
                or
                requirement, after Executive provides the Company written
                notice of the actions or omissions constituting such breach, assignment,
                reduction or requirement.

                Date” means the effective date of any notice of termination of employment
                delivered by one party to the
                other.

            

    

     

    4 Conditions
      to Receive Severance Package.
      The
      severance payments described in this Amendment will be provided to Executive
