                      definition of Compensation in Section XIII, Limitations on
                      Allocations.

             - (iii)  Options 1-6 include lump sum amounts and/or cash bonuses.

                  Use Test (MUT)

                  1.   Correction Methods.

                       The method used to correct any failure of these tests
                       shall be as indicated below:

                       ADP Correction - [X] Refunds.

                  2.   Borrowing Method.

                       To satisfy ADP and ACP testing, ADP percentages may be
                       shifted to ACP, or, if matching contributions meet the
                       section 401(k) distribution requirements, ACP percentages
                       may be shifted to ADP.

                       Check off each test for which the Borrowing Method, if
                       required, will be used:

                       [X]  ADP test.

                       [X]  ACP test

                       [ ]  MUT

                  3.   Disaggregation of Otherwise Excludible Employee Groups

                       A Plan may separately test the portions of the Plan that
                       apply to Employees who do not otherwise meet the
                       statutory maximum eligibility requirements (i.e., age 21
                       and 1 Year of Service) of Code section 410(a).

                       Indicate which test, if any, this testing method will be
                       used for:

                       [X] ADP test.

                       [X] ACP test.

                                                                 January 1, 2003

 Section

4B       A.       If any Participant is covered by another qualified defined
                  contribution plan maintained by the Employer, other than a
                  Master or Prototype plan:

         - Complete part A if you: (1) maintain, or at any time maintained,
         another qualified retirement plan in which any Participant in this Plan
         is, was, or could be, a participant; or (2) maintain a Code section
         415(l)(2) individual medical account, for which amounts are treated as
         Annual Additions for any Participant in this Plan.

                  [X] 1. N/A. The Employer has no other defined contribution
                         plan(s).

                  [ ] 2. The provisions of Section 4B.5 of the Plan will apply,
                         as if the other plan were a Master or Prototype plan.

                  [ ] 3. The plans will limit total Annual Additions to the
                         Maximum Permissible Amount, and will reduce any Excess
                         Amounts in a manner that precludes Employer discretion,
                         in the following manner:

                         _______________________________________________________
                         _______________________________________________________

4B       B.       If any Participant is or ever has been a Participant in a
                  qualified defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer:

                  Note: The provisions of this section XIII.B shall not apply
                  for any Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1999.

         - Complete part B if you maintain, or at any time maintained, another
         qualified retirement plan in which any Participant in this Plan is,
         was, or could be a participant.

                  [X] 1. N/A. The Employer has no defined benefit plan(s).

                  [ ] 2. In any Limitation Year, the Annual Additions
                         credited to the Participant under this Plan may
                         not cause the sum of the Defined Benefit Plan
                         Fraction and the Defined Contribution Fraction to
                         exceed 1.0. If the Employer contributions that
                         would otherwise be allocated to the Participant's
                         account during such year would cause the 1.0
                         limitation to be exceeded, the allocation will be
                         reduced so that the sum of the fraction equals
                         1.0. Any contributions not allocated because of
                         the preceding sentence will be allocated to the
                         remaining Participants according to the Plan's
                         allocation formula. If the 1.0 limitation is
                         exceeded because of an Excess Amount, such Excess
                         Amount will be reduced in accordance with Section
                         4B.4 of the Plan.

                  [ ] 3. Provide the method under which the Plan involved
                         will satisfy the 1.0 limitation in a manner that
                         precludes Employer discretion.

         F. Compliance with 2001 Proposed Regulations Under Code Section
            401(a)(9)

         - Select one of the following three choices.

         [X] 1. Model Amendment Adopting Rules under 2001 Proposed Regulations
         (under this alternative, Model Amendment applies to all minimum
         distributions in calendar years beginning on or after the specified
         date as provided below).

         For all required distributions made with respect to calendar years
         beginning on or after January 1, 2001 (insert date of intended
         compliance not earlier than January 1, 2001), the Plan shall apply the
         minimum distribution requirements of Code section 401(a)(9) in
         accordance with the regulations under section 401(a)(9) that were
         proposed in January 2001 (the 2001 Proposed Regulations),
         notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan or Prototype Plan to the
         contrary. This amendment shall continue in effect until the end of the
         last calendar year beginning before the effective date of the final
         regulations under section 401(a)(9) or such other date as may be
         published by the Internal Revenue Service.

         [ ] 2. Model Amendment Adopting Rules under 2001 Proposed Regulations
         (under this alternative, Model Amendment can be adopted as of a date
         within the 2001 Plan Year after some minimum distributions have been
         made under the prior rules).

         With respect to distributions under the Plan made on or after
         _______(specify date on which the Plan began operating in accordance
         with the 2001 Proposed Regulations), for calendar years beginning on or
         after January 1, 2001, the Plan will apply the minimum distribution
         requirements of Code section 401(a)(9) in accordance with the 2001
         Proposed Regulations, notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the
         contrary. If the total amount of required minimum distributions made to
         a Participant for 2001 prior to _______(specify date on which the Plan
         began operating in accordance with the 2001 Proposed Regulations) are
         less than the amount determined under the 2001 Proposed Regulations,
         then the amount of the required minimum distributions for 2001 on or
         after such date will be determined so that the total amount of required
         minimum distributions for 2001 is the amount determined under the 2001
         Proposed Regulations. This amendment shall continue in effect until the
         end of the last calendar year beginning before the effective date of
         the final regulations under section 401(a)(9) or such other date as may
         be published by the Internal Revenue Service.

         [ ] 3. The Employer does not intend to comply with the 2001 Proposed
         Regulations at this time. (Electing this choice will require amendment
         of the Plan at a later date to elect compliance with these
         regulations.)

                                                                 January 1, 2003

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into
as of the 20th day of January 2004, by and between Zix Corporation, a Texas
corporation (the "Company"), and Richard Spurr, a resident of the State of Texas
("Employee").

                                    RECITALS

         A.       The Company desires to provide for the employment of Employee
in such a manner as will reinforce and encourage Employee's highest attention
and dedication to the Company and its shareholders.

         B.       Employee is willing to serve the Company under the terms and
conditions herein provided.

                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

         In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in
this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

         1.       Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, the Company employs Employee, and Employee hereby accepts such
employment by the Company.

         2.       Duties of Employee.

                  (A)      Employee shall serve in the capacities of Chief
         Operating Officer and President of the Company. In such capacities,
         Employee shall have all necessary powers to discharge his
         responsibilities, including general supervision of the affairs of the
         organization under his direct control. These organizations shall
         initially include Sales, Marketing, Professional Services, Customer
         Services and Development & Operations. The following organizations
         shall be excluded from Employee's responsibility: Finance, Legal,
         Strategy, and the Care Delivery group. For so long as Employee serves
         in the foregoing capacities, the Company management shall nominate and
         support the election of Employee as a member of the Board of Directors
         of the Company.

                  (B)      During the term of this Agreement, and thereafter so
         long as Employee is employed by the Company, Employee shall devote his
         full business time and effort to the performance of his duties and
         responsibilities as an officer of the Company. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, Employee may spend reasonable amounts of time on personal
         civic and charitable and investment activities that do not interfere
         with the performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company.
         In addition, Employee may, subject to prior approval by the Board,
         spend reasonable amounts of time serving as an independent director for
         other companies, which are approved, provided that such service does
         not, in the sole discretion of the Board, constitute or create a
         conflict of interest.

                  (C)      Employee shall observe and comply with the written
         rules and regulations of the Company respecting its business and shall
         carry out and perform the directives and policies of the Company as the
         rules may from time-to-time be stated to Employee by the Board or the
         Company's Chief Executive Officer.

                  (D)      Employee agrees not to solicit or receive any income
         or other compensation from any third party in connection with his
         employment with the Company. Employee agrees, upon

<PAGE>

         written request by the Company, to render an accounting of all
         transactions relating to his business endeavors during the term of this
         employment hereunder.

         3.       Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence
effective as of January 20th, 2004 (the "Effective Date") and continue until the
February 1, 2005, unless Employee's employment is earlier terminated in
accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement or unless the term of this Agreement
is extended by mutual written agreement of the parties. Upon expiration of the
Term, Employee shall remain an "at will" employee of the Company but Employee
and the Company shall still be subject to and bound by the terms of this
Agreement.

         4.       Salary. Commencing on the Effective Date, the Company will pay
Employee for his services as an officer a minimum base annual salary during the
term of this Agreement of $250,000, which shall be payable in accordance with
the Company's standard payroll practices, but not less than monthly.

         5.       Bonus Compensation.

                  (A)      During the Term, the Company shall pay Employee (1)
         on a quarterly basis a cash bonus in the amount of $50,000, subject to
         defined reasonably achievable objectives approved by the Compensation
         Committee of the Board.

                  (B)      (1) As a signing bonus, the Company will issue to the
         Employee a number of shares of the common stock of the Company, $.01
         par value (the "ZixCorp Common Stock"), with an aggregate value of
         $50,000, valued at the Average Trading Price per share. "Average
         Trading Price" means the per share average closing price of the ZixCorp
         Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market System for the 10
         consecutive trading days immediately prior to two business days before
         the issuance of the shares. These "Signing Bonus Shares" are subject to
         the transfer restrictions set forth in the immediately following
         paragraph.

                           (2) If Employee ceases to be an employee of the
         Company prior to February 1, 2005 because his employment terminates for
         any reason other than (i) the Company terminates his employment
         pursuant to Subsection 9(E) or (ii) Employee resigns employment
         pursuant to Subsection 9(D)(1), the Signing Bonus Shares shall be
         forfeited to the Company. Furthermore, Employee may not prior to
         February 1, 2005 sell, option, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of
         the Signing Bonus Shares or any interest in the Signing Bonus Shares.
         However, these forfeiture provisions and transfer restrictions with
         respect to the Signing Bonus Shares shall lapse upon a "Change in
         Control" (as defined in the Option Agreement referenced below) and as
         set forth in Section 10(D) below.

                           (3) Unless there is an effective registration
         statement and qualification respecting the resale of the Signing Bonus
         Shares and the shares covered by the Option Agreement under the
         Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws at the time of
         resale of the Signing Bonus Shares and the shares covered by the Option
         Agreement, any stock certificate evidencing such shares shall bear an
         appropriate restrictive legend.

                  Employee hereby represents and warrants that (1) the Signing
         Bonus Shares are being accquired for investment for his own account,
         not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or
         distribution of any part thereof in a manner which would violate the
         registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state
         securities laws; (2) Employee has reviewed the Company's annual report
         on Form 10-K for the year ended 2002, the Company's quarterly reports
         on Form 10-Q filed since the beginning of 2003 and the Company's proxy

                                        2

<PAGE>

         statement for its annual meeting of shareholders in 2003; and (3)
         Employee has had sufficient access to the Company to ask questions
         about such filings and its business and operations as Employee has
         requested.

         6.       Stock Options. As additional compensation, the Company shall
also grant Employee nonqualified stock options to purchase 650,000 shares of
ZixCorp Common Stock at an option exercise price approved by the Board of
Directors. The options shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set
forth in the stock option agreement. ("Option Agreement") relating thereto. The
stock option agreement (the "Option Agreement") relating to such shares shall
provide that all unvested shares shall vest upon a "Change in Control" (as
defined in the Option Agreement) with respect to the Company.

         7.       Employee Benefits. During the Term, Employee will be entitled
to participate in the insurance and employee benefit plans and programs
maintained by the Company and its Affiliates applicable to officer employees on
the same basis as other officer employees of the Company or its Affiliates, as
applicable, subject only to the possible substitution by or on behalf of the
Company or its Affiliates of other plans or programs providing substantially
similar or increased benefits for Employee. Employee will also be entitled to
reasonable vacation time with no reduction in compensation, in keeping with the
Employee's duties and responsibilities to the Company.

         8.       Reimbursement of Expenses. During the Term, the Company shall
reimburse Employee for all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in
the business. Such reimbursement shall be made to Employee upon appropriate
documentation of such expenditures in accordance with the Company's written
policies.

         9.       Early Termination. Employee's employment under this Agreement
may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement as follows:

                  (A)      Employee's employment with the Company shall
         terminate automatically upon Employee's death,

                  (B)      If, as a result of Employee's incapacity due to
         physical or mental illness, Employee shall have been absent from his
         duties and/or unable to perform the essential functions of his
         position, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a total of 30
         days during any consecutive 75 day period, and within 5 days after a
         written Notice of Termination (as defined in subsection (G) hereof) is
         given (which may occur before or after the end of such 75-day period)
         shall not have returned to the performance of the essential functions
         of his position, with or without reasonable accommodation, the Company
         may terminate Employee's employment under this Agreement.

                  (C)      The Company may terminate Employee's employment under
         this Agreement for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company
         shall have "Cause" to terminate Employee's employment under this
         Agreement upon (1) the willful and continued failure by Employee to
         substantially perform his duties under this Agreement (other than any
         such failure resulting from Employee's incapacity due to physical or
         mental illness), after written demand for substantial performance is
         delivered by the Board that specifically identifies the manner in which
         the Board believes Employee has not substantially performed his duties;
         or (2) the willful engaging by Employee in misconduct that is
         materially injurious to the Company; or (3) the conviction of Employee,
         or a plea by Employee of nolo contendere, or the substantial equivalent
         to either of the foregoing, of or with respect to, any felony or crime
         of moral turpitude. For purposes of this subsection (C), no act, or
         failure to act, on Employee's part shall be considered

                                        3

<PAGE>

         "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith
         and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in, or
         not opposed to, the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated for
         Cause without (a) reasonable written notice to Employee, setting forth
         the reasons for the Company's intention to terminate for Cause; (b) an
         opportunity for Employee, together with his counsel, to be heard before
         the Board (or an authorized representative thereof); and (c) delivery
         to Employee of a written Notice of Termination from the Board finding
         that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, Employee engaged in the
         conduct set forth above in clause (1) or (2) or an event specified in
         clause (3) has occurred.

                  (D)      Employee may terminate Employee's employment under
         this Agreement (1) for Good Reason; or (2) if Employee's health should
         become impaired to an extent that makes Employee's continued
         performance of Employee's duties under this Agreement hazardous to
         Employee's physical or mental health or Employee's life; provided that,
         Employee shall have furnished the Company with a written statement from
         a qualified doctor to such effect and provided, further, that, at the
         Company's request, Employee shall submit to an examination by a doctor
         selected by the Company and such doctor shall have concurred in the
         conclusion of Employee's doctor.

                  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean (a) a
         failure by the Company to comply with any material provision of this
         Agreement or the Option Agreement that has not been cured within 10
         days after notice of such noncompliance has been given by Employee to
         the Company; (b) any material diminution in Employee's title and
         duties; (c) any purported termination of Employee's employment that is
         not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the
         requirements of subsection (G) hereof (and for purposes of this
         Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective); (d) the
         assignment of duties or position that would necessitate a change in the
         location of Employee's home (presently in North Dallas, Texas); or (e)
         the Company fails to maintain directors and officers liability
         insurance coverage, including coverage for the Employee, in an amount
         equal to at least $10,000,000. Employee's resignation for Good Reason
         shall be effected by delivering a notice that shall set forth in
         reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
         basis for Good Reason.

                  (E)      The Company may terminate Employee's employment under
         this Agreement without Cause upon 30 days notice to Employee.

                  (F)      Employee may terminate Employee's employment under
         this Agreement for a reason other than specified in subsection (D) upon
         30 days' notice to Company.

                  (G)      Any termination of Employee's employment by the
         Company or by Employee (other than termination pursuant to subsection
         (A) above) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to
         the other party to this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a
         "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice that shall indicate the
         specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and, in
         the case of a Notice of Termination given by the Company, shall set
         forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
         provide a basis for termination of Employee's employment under the
         provision so indicated.

                  (H)      "Date of Termination" shall mean (1) if Employee's
         employment is terminated by Employee's death, the date of Employee's
         death; (2) if Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to
         subsection (B) above, five days after Notice of Termination is given
         (provided that, Employee shall not have returned to the performance of
         the essential functions of his position,

         with or without reasonable accommodation, during such five day period);
         and (3) if Employee's employment is terminated for any other reason,
         the date specified in the Notice of Termination.

         10.      Certain Effects of Termination.

                  (A)      If Company terminates Employee's employment pursuant
                           to Section 9(E) (without "Cause") or the Employee
                           resigns employment pursuant to Section 9(D)(1)(with
                           "Good Reason"), then the Company shall pay to
                           Employee (A) the greater of (i) all remaining base
                           salary amounts which would have been payable to
                           Employee during the remaining Term of this Agreement
                           or (ii) nine months of Employee's base salary and (B)
                           any bonus amounts that have been earned as of the
                           Date of Termination but have not yet been paid. The
                           amounts payable to Employee as provided in the
                           immediately preceding sentence may be paid, at the
                           Company's election, either in cash or in registered
                           shares of the ZixCorp Common Stock and either in a
                           lump sum or at such times as the applicable salary or
                           bonus payment would have otherwise been paid to
                           Employee.

                  (B)      Furthermore, as provided in Paragraph 3.b. of the
                           Option Agreement, if Company terminates Employee's
                           employment pursuant to Section 9(E) (without "Cause")
                           or Employee resigns employment pursuant to Section
                           9(D)(1) (with "Good Reason"), then the option shares
                           under the Option Agreement that would have become
                           vested on the next vesting date (had Employee still
                           been employed on the next vesting date) shall become
                           vested as of the Date of Termination. Employee shall
                           have the period of time specified in Paragraph 5.a.
                           of the Option Agreement to exercise the vested option
                           shares.

                  (C)      If Employee separates from employment for any reason
                           other than pursuant to Section 9(E) (without "Cause")
                           or Section 9(D)(1) (with "Good Reason"), then Company
                           shall pay to Employee his base salary through the
                           Date of Termination and any bonus amounts that have
                           been earned as of the Date of Termination but have
                           not yet been paid; and the vesting of the option
                           shares under the Option Agreement shall cease as of
                           the Date of Termination and Employee shall have the
                           period of time specified in the Option Agreement to
                           exercise the vested option shares. The amounts
                           payable to Employee as provided in the immediately
                           preceding sentence may be paid, at the Company's
                           election, either in cash or in registered shares of
                           the ZixCorp Common Stock and at such time as the
                           amounts would have otherwise been paid to Employee.

                  (D)      If the Company terminates Employee's employment
                           pursuant to Subsection 9(E) (without "Cause") or
                           Employee resigns employment pursuant to Subsection
                           9(D)(1) (with "Good Reason"), the transfer and
                           forfeiture provisions relating to the Signing Bonus
                           Shares shall lapse.

         11.      Confidential Information. Employee recognizes and acknowledges
that Employee will have access to confidential information of the Company and
companies controlled by it, controlling it, or under common control with it (an
"Affiliate"), including, without limitation, customer information, lists of
suppliers and costs, information concerning the business and operations of the
Company and its Affiliates, and proprietary data, information, concepts and
ideas (whether or not patentable or copyrightable) relating to the business of
the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable. Employee agrees

                                       5
<PAGE>

not to disclose such confidential information, except as may be necessary in the
performance of Employee's duties, to any person, nor use such confidential
information in any way, unless Employee has received the written consent of the
Company or unless such confidential information becomes public knowledge through
no wrongful act of Employee. Upon termination of Employee's employment for any
reason, Employee shall promptly deliver to the Company all drawings, manuals,
letters, notebooks, customer lists, documents, records, equipment, files,
computer disks or tapes, reports or any other materials relating to the business
of the Company and its Affiliates, and all copies, that are in Employee's
possession or under Employee's control. Confidential information shall not
include information that constitutes general skills, knowledge, and experience
acquired by Employee before and/or during his employment with the Company.

         12.      Conflict of Interest. Employee agrees that during the term of
this Agreement without the prior approval of the Board, Employee shall not
engage, either directly or indirectly, in any activity which may involve a
conflict of interest with the Company or its Affiliates (a "Conflict of
Interest"), including ownership in any supplier, contractor, subcontractor,
customer or other entity with which the Company does business (other than as a
shareholder of less than one percent (1%) of a publicly-traded or private class
of securities) or accept any material payment, service, loan, gift, trip,
entertainment or other favor from a supplier, contractor, subcontractor,
customer or other entity with which the Company does business and that Employee
shall promptly inform the Board as to each offer received by Employee to engage
in any such activity. Employee further agrees to disclose to the Company any
other facts of which Employee becomes aware which might involve or give rise to
a Conflict of Interest or potential Conflict of Interest.

         13.      Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be
deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provision, whether or not
similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a waiver of any continuing or
succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a
waiver of any right under this Agreement. No waiver shall be binding unless
executed in writing by the party making the waiver.

         14.      Limitation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, except as
specifically stated in this Agreement, is intended to confer any rights or
remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the
parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns and other
legal representatives, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or
discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this
Agreement, nor shall any provision give any third persons any right of
subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement.

         15.      Remedies. Employee hereby agrees that a violation of the
provisions of Section 11 hereof would cause irreparable injury to the Company
for which it would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of
any such violation, the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and other
injunctive relief. Any such injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other
remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, or otherwise.

         16.      Notice. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to
be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed

prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, and
may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by all parties.

         24.      Severability and Reformation. If any provision of this
Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, in whole or
in part, then the parties shall be relieved of all obligations arising under
such provision, but only to the extent that it is illegal, unenforceable or
void, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that this Agreement shall
be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to make it
legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if that is not possible,
by substituting therefor another provision that is legal and enforceable and
achieves the same objectives.

         25.      Amendments. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding unless
executed in writing by all parties to this Agreement. No waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any
other provision of this Agreement (regardless of whether similar), nor shall any
such waiver constitute a continuing wavier unless otherwise expressly provided.

         26.      Arbitration.

         The Company and the Employee agree to the resolution by binding
arbitration of all claims, demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies,
or other matters in question ("Claims") arising out of this Agreement or the
Employee's employment (or its termination), whether sounding in contract, tort,
or otherwise and whether provided by statute or common law, that the Company may
have against the Employee or that the Employee may have against the Company or
any Affiliate or any benefit plans of the Company or any Affiliate or any
fiduciaries, administrators, and affiliates of any of such benefit plans, or
their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents in their capacity as
such. This agreement to arbitrate shall not limit the Company's or the
Employee's right to seek equitable relief, including, but not limited to,
injunctive relief and specific performance in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Claims covered by this agreement to arbitrate include, but are not limited to,
claims by the Employee for breach of this Agreement, wrongful termination,
discrimination (based on age, race, sex, disability, national origin or other
factor), and retaliation. The only Claims otherwise within the definition of
Claims that are not covered by this Section 26 are: (1) any administrative
actions that the Employee is permitted to pursue under applicable law that are
not precluded by virtue of the Employee having entered into this Section 26; (2)
any Claim by the Employee for workers' compensation benefits or unemployment
compensation benefits; or (3) any Claim by the Employee for benefits under a
Company or Affiliate pension or benefit plan that provides its own non-judicial
dispute resolution procedure.

         Claims shall be submitted to arbitration and finally settled under the
Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association
("AAA") in effect at the time the written notice of the Claim is received. An
arbitrator shall be selected in the manner provided for in the Employment
Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, except that the parties agree that the
arbitrator shall be an attorney licensed in the state where the arbitration is
being conducted. If any party refuses to honor its obligations under this
agreement to arbitrate, the other party may compel arbitration in either federal
or state court. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any
dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or
formation of this agreement to arbitrate, including, but not limited to, any
claim that all or part of this Agreement is void or voidable and any claim that
an issue is not subject to arbitration. The arbitration will be held in Dallas
County, Texas. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision that identifies the
factual findings and principles of law upon which any award is based. The award
and findings of such arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the
parties. Any and all of the arbitrator's orders, decisions, and awards may be
enforceable in, and judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be
confirmed and entered by, any federal or state court having jurisdiction. The
Company shall pay all costs and expenses of its advisors and expert witnesses,
and Employee shall pay all costs and expenses of his advisors and expert
witnesses. The costs and expenses of the arbitration

                                       8
<PAGE>

proceedings will be paid by the non-prevailing party or as the arbitrator
otherwise determines. Discovery will be permitted to the extent directed by the
arbitrator. EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS THAT BY AGREEING TO SUBMIT CLAIMS TO
ARBITRATION, SUCH PARTY GIVES UP THE RIGHT TO SEEK A TRIAL BY COURT OR JURY AND
THE RIGHT TO AN APPEAL A COURT OR JURY DECISION AND FORGOES ANY AND ALL RELATED
RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS.

         27.      Indemnification and Insurance. The Employee will have rights
to indemnification as an officer and/or director of the Company as set forth in
the Company's Restated Bylaws.
