unauthorized use or the disclosure of such Confidential Information to third
parties. The Receiving Party shall have appropriate written agreements with
employees or contractors with access to the Confidential Information sufficient
to comply with the provisions of this Cross License Agreement.

               ------------------------------------------
that the terms and conditions of this Cross License Agreement will be treated as
the other Party's Confidential Information and that no reference to this Cross

               --------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the other that it has not used and shall not use in

               -------------------
required to disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information pursuant to
the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other
governmental body, the Receiving Party shall provide prompt notice thereof to
the Disclosing Party and shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain a protective
order or otherwise prevent public disclosure of such information.

          6.3  Amendments and Waivers.
               ----------------------

               (a)  Any provision of this Cross License Agreement may be amended
or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed,
in the case of an amendment by each Party to this Cross License Agreement, or in
the case of a waiver by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

               (b)  No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any or other further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.

          6.4  Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Cross License
               ----------------------
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns; provided that neither Party may
assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Cross License Agreement without the consent of the other Party hereto,
except that either Party may assign this Cross License Agreement in connection
with a merger or acquisition of such Party or the sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the business, stock or assets of such Party.

          6.5  Governing Law/Dispute Resolution.  This Cross License Agreement
               --------------------------------
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of
Texas, without regard to its conflicts of law rules. All disputes arising out of
this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the
Texas state courts in Dallas, Texas (or, if there is exclusive federal
jurisdiction, the United Stated District Court for the Northern District of
Texas), and the parties consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of
these courts.

          6.6  Counterparts; Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Cross License
               ---------------------------------------
Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon
the same instrument. This Cross License Agreement shall become effective when
each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other
Party hereto. No provision of this Cross License Agreement is intended to confer
upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

          6.7  Entire Agreement; Severability.  This Cross License Agreement
               ------------------------------
constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter of this Cross License Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the
subject matter of this Cross License Agreement. If at any time subsequent to the
date hereof any term or provision of this Cross License

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

Agreement shall be determined to be partially or wholly illegal, void or
unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect to the extent so
determined, but the illegality or unenforceability of such term or provision
shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the legality or enforceability of
any other term or provision of this Cross License Agreement.

          6.8  Captions. The captions herein are included for convenience of
               --------
reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation
hereof.

          6.9  Representation by Counsel; Interpretation. The Parties
               -----------------------------------------
acknowledge that each Party to this Cross License Agreement has been represented
by counsel in connection with this Cross License Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by this Cross License Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or
any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities
in this Cross License Agreement against the Party that drafted it has no
application and is expressly waived. The provisions of this Cross License
Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intent of
the Parties.

          6.10 Injunctive Relief.  It is understood and agreed that,
               -----------------
notwithstanding any other provision of this Cross License Agreement, either
Party's breach of confidentiality obligations or provisions relating to
proprietary rights may cause irreparable damage for which recovery of money
damages would be inadequate, and that the other Party will therefore be entitled
to seek timely, injunctive relief to protect such Party's rights under this
Cross License Agreement in addition to any and all remedies available at law.
Each Party further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in
obtaining such equitable relief, nor will proof of actual damages be required
for such equitable relief. Each Party hereby expressly consents to the issuance
of such injunction and to the ordering of such specific performance.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties, by their duly authorized representatives,
have executed this Cross License Agreement as of the Effective Date.
