                                   AGREEMENTS:

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each
of Employer and Employee, each of Employer and Employee hereby agrees as
follows:

         1.       Employment. Employer hereby employs Employee, and Employee
                  hereby accepts such employment, subject in both cases to the
                  terms, provisions and conditions hereinafter stated. Employer
                  agrees to provide Employee with all initial specialized
                  training necessary for Employee to perform Employee's duties
                  hereunder. Moreover, Employer agrees to provide Employee with
                  all Confidential Information (as defined hereinafter)
                  necessary for Employee to perform such duties.

         2.       Title of Employee. Employee shall have the title of Employer's
                  Chief Operating Officer.

         3.       Duties of Employee. Employee shall perform all duties as from
                  time to time may be assigned to Employer by Employer's Board
                  of Directors or Employer's Chief Executive Officer.

         4.       Time Devoted and Exclusivity. Employee shall devote all of
                  Employee's business time and attention to performing
                  Employee's duties hereunder. During the term of this
                  Agreement, Employee agrees to work exclusively for Employer
                  and to provide the type of services for which Employer is
                  employing Employee to no person other than Employer; provided,
                  however, that Employee shall be permitted to devote an amount
                  of time sufficient to serve on the Boards of Directors of
                  other corporations, but only to the extent that such service
                  does not compete with the business of Employer and does not
                  interfere with Employee's duties hereunder.

         5.       Standard of Performance. In providing Employee's duties
                  hereunder, Employee shall use reasonable, and Employee's best,
                  efforts, and shall perform such duties in a competent,
                  professional and good workman-like manner of the highest
                  caliber.

         6.       Place of Performance. Employee shall be based in, or within
                  five-miles of the city limits of, Dallas, Texas, but shall
                  undertake such travel at the direction of Employer's Board of
                  Directors or Employer's Chief Executive Officer as it, he or
                  she believes necessary or advisable for Employee to perform
                  Employee's duties hereunder.

         7.       Compensation and Benefits.

         (a)      Base Salary. As compensation for services rendered hereunder,
                  Employee shall be paid an annual salary of $175,000, or such
                  greater amount as shall be formally set by Employer's Board of
                  Directors. Such salary shall be paid in accordance with
                  Employer's payroll policies in effect from time to time.

         (b)      Sign-On Stock Bonus. Employer hereby agrees to pay to Employee
                  a sign-on bonus in the form of an issuance of unregistered
                  shares of Employer's common stock (the "Common Stock"), upon
                  the terms, conditions and provisions of this Section 7(b).
                  Pursuant to this Section 7(b), if Employee purchases for cash
                  directly from Employer shares of Common Stock at any time on
                  or before March 31, 2006 (shares so purchased are referred to
                  hereinafter as the "Direct Purchase Shares"), Employee shall
                  be entitled to be issued a sign-on stock bonus comprised of a
                  number of shares of unregistered Common Stock equal to one and
                  one-half times (1.5 times or 150%) the number of Direct
                  Purchase Shares (the shares comprising the sign-on stock bonus
                  are referred to hereinafter as the "Bonus Shares"), up to a
                  maximum of 225,000 Bonus Shares. Of the Bonus Shares,
                  one-third shall be not restricted (except for restrictions
                  imposed by applicable securities laws due to the private
                  nature of the issuance), and a stock certificate representing
                  them (with appropriate legends) shall be delivered to Employee
                  as soon as possible after March 31, 2006. The remaining
                  two-thirds of the Bonus Shares (the "Restricted Bonus Shares")
                  shall be restricted upon the following terms (in addition to
                  restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws due to the
                  private nature of the issuance):

         (i)      During the period during which the restrictions provided for
                  herein remain in effect (the "Restriction Period"), Employee
                  shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or assign any
                  Restricted Bonus Shares.

         (ii)     Except as otherwise provided for herein, Employee shall have,
                  with respect to the shares of Restricted Bonus Shares, all of
                  the rights of a stockholder of Employer, including the right
                  to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash
                  dividends.

         (iii)    The restrictions provided for herein with respect to one-half
                  of the Restricted Bonus Shares shall lapse on January 1, 2007,
                  provided that Employer has not previously and rightfully
                  terminated this Agreement. The restrictions provided for
                  herein with respect to the remaining one-half of the
                  Restricted Bonus Shares shall lapse on January 1, 2008,
                  provided that Employer has not previously terminated and
                  rightfully this Agreement.

         (iv)     If Employer has rightfully terminated this Agreement during
                  the Restriction Period, all Restricted Bonus Shares still
                  subject to restriction shall be forfeited by Employee.

         (v)      In addition to the stock certificate representing the
                  unrestricted Bonus Shares, Employee shall be issued two stock
                  certificates, each representing one-half of the Restricted
                  Bonus Shares. Each such certificate shall be registered in the
                  name of Employee and shall bear an appropriate legends
                  referring to (among other things) the terms, conditions, and
                  restrictions applicable to such issuance, substantially in the
                  following form:

                  "The transferability of this certificate and the shares of
                  stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and
                  conditions (including forfeiture) of an employment agreement
                  between the issuer and the stockholder hereof."

         (vi)     The stock  certificates  evidencing  Restricted Bonus Shares
                  shall be held in custody by Employer until the restrictions
                  thereon shall have lapsed,  and that, as a condition of any
                  Restricted  Bonus Shares  issuance,  Employee  shall have
                  delivered a stock power, endorsed  in  blank, relating  to the
                  Restricted  Bonus  Shares. Certificates  for Restricted  Bonus
                  Stock  without  legends  (other  than those  required  by
                  applicable securities  laws due to the  private  nature of the
                  issuance)  shall be  delivered  to Employee  promptly after,
                  and only after,  the period of forfeiture  shall have expired
                  without forfeiture in respect of such Restricted Bonus Shares.

         (vii)    In  the event of special hardship circumstances  of  Employee,
                  including  death, disability or  retirement,  or in the event
                  of an  unforeseeable  emergency of Employee, Employer's Board
                  of Directors may, in its sole  discretion,  when it finds that
                  a waiver would  be in the  best  interest  of  Employer, waive
                  in  whole  or in part any or all remaining  restrictions  with
                  respect to Employee's Restricted Bonus Shares. Additionally,
                  in the event that Employee  terminates  Employee's  employment
                  upon a "Change in Control" as provided in Section 10(b)
                  hereafter, all remaining restrictions with respect to
                  Employee's Restricted Bonus Shares shall automatically lapse.

                  "Market Value" per share of Common Stock at any date shall
                  mean the average of the daily Closing Price for the Common
                  Stock for the 30 Trading Days before such date.

                  "Closing Price" on a given day shall mean the last sale price
                  regular way or, in case no such reported sales take place on
                  such day, the average of the last reported bid and ask price,

                  securities exchange or the NASDAQ/National Market System on
                  which the shares of Common Stock are admitted to trading or
                  listed, or if not so admitted or listed, the representative
                  closing bid price as reported by NASDAQ or other similar
                  organization if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information
                  or, if not so available, the fair market price as reasonably
                  determined by Employer's Board of Directors.

                  "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the principal national

                  or, if the shares of such Common Stock are not listed or
                  admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a
                  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday on which
                  banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, City and
                  State of New York, are not authorized or obligated by law or
                  executive order to close.

         (ii)     Employer hereby agrees to pay to Employee additional bonuses
                  in the form of issuances of unregistered shares of Common
                  Stock, upon the terms, conditions and provisions of this
                  Section 7(c). Pursuant to this Section 7(c), Employee may
                  become entitled to be issued up to six tranches each comprised
                  of 100,000 shares of unregistered Common Stock, for an
                  aggregate of up to 600,000 shares of unregistered Common
                  Stock. One of these tranches comprised of 100,000 shares of
                  unregistered Common Stock shall be issued to Employee upon
                  each of the following events:

                  *        when the Market  Value  relating to the Common  Stock
                           first  equals or exceeds $5.00 per share,
                  *        when the Market  Value  relating to the Common  Stock
                           first  equals or exceeds $6.00 per share,
                  *        when the Market  Value  relating to the Common  Stock
                           first  equals or exceeds $7.00 per share,
                  *        when the Market  Value  relating to the Common  Stock
                           first  equals or exceeds $8.00 per share,
                  *        when the Market  Value  relating to the Common  Stock
                           first  equals or exceeds $9.00 per share, and
                  *        when the Market  Value  relating to the Common  Stock
                           first  equals or exceeds $10.00 per share.

        (iii)     If the  outstanding  shares of the Common Stock shall be
                  subdivided  into a greater  number of shares or a dividend in
                  Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common  Stock,  the
                  figures for the Market  Value  as  stated   immediately  above
                  in  effect  immediately  prior  to  such subdivision  or at
                  the  record  date of such  dividend  shall  simultaneously
                  with  the effectiveness  of  such subdivision  or  immediately
                  after  the  record  date  of such dividend be  proportionately
                  reduced.  If the outstanding  shares of Common Stock shall
                  be  combined  into a smaller  number of shares,  the  figures
                  for the  Market  Value as stated  immediately above in  effect
                  immediately  prior  to such  combination shall, simultaneously
                  with  the  effectiveness  of  such  combination,   be
                  proportionately increased.  When any adjustment is required to
                  be made in the Market Value,  the number of shares  comprising
                  the  tranches  making up the bonuses to be paid  pursuant to
                  this Section 7(c) shall be changed to the number  determined
                  by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares
                  comprising the tranches immediately  prior to such adjustment,
                  multiplied by the Market Value in effect  immediately prior to
                  such adjustment,  by (ii) the Market Value in effect
                  immediately after such adjustment.

         (iv)     In the event that Employee terminates Employee's employment
                  upon a "Change in Control" as provided in Section 10(b)
                  hereafter, Employee shall be entitled to be issued immediately
                  pursuant to this Section 7(c) all of the 600,000 shares of
                  Common Stock that have not already been issued pursuant to
                  this Section 7(c).

         (d) Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to participate in all plans
that Employer establishes for the benefit of its employees; provided, however,
Employee shall be entitled to participate in such plans only at the time
Employee meets the eligibility criteria established for the plan and shall
receive benefits thereunder based on the terms of the plan. Employee's
eligibility and benefit level shall be determined separately for each plan, and
all determinations shall be made by the parties charged with responsibility for
such determinations in the plan. Employer is under no obligation to establish
any plan or plans to provide benefits for its employees, and this Section 7(e)
shall not be interpreted to require the establishment of any benefit plan. The
terms of any benefit plans existing, established, or provided hereafter do not
constitute a part of this Agreement and are not incorporated herein for any
purpose.

         8. Expense Reimbursement. Employer shall reimburse Employee, from time
to time, for all actual, reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by
Employee on behalf of Employer, to the extent that Employee has presented to
Employer documentary evidence, such as a receipt or a paid bill, that states
sufficient information to establish the amount, date, place, and the essential
character of the expenditure for each such expenditure.

         9. Term. Subject to Section 10 below, the term of this Agreement shall
begin on the date hereof and shall continue for the period of two years
thereafter.

         10. Termination.

                  (a) By Employer For Cause. Employer may, at its election,
terminate Employee's employment at any time for just cause, which shall mean the
following: (i) Employee shall have failed or refused to faithfully, diligently

misconduct; or (iv) Employee shall be finally convicted of a felony or a
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude. At any time after the occurrence of an
event permitting Employer to terminate Employee's employment pursuant to this
Section 10(a), Employer may elect for termination of Employee's employment by
notifying Employee as to Employer's election to terminate, and thereupon
Employee's employment with Employer will terminate on the date specified in the
notice or (if no date is specified) upon the delivery of the notice.

                  (b) By Employee Upon a Change in Control. Employee may, at his
election, terminate Employee's employment at any time upon a "Change in Control"
after the giving of 15 days written notice, and thereupon Employee's employment
with Employer will terminate 15 days after the giving of the notice or (if
later) on the date specified in the notice. For purposes of this Agreement, a
"Change in Control" shall mean the approval by the stockholders of Employer of:
(I) a merger, consolidation, share exchange or reorganization involving
Employer, unless the stockholders of Employer, immediately before such merger,
consolidation, share exchange or reorganization, own, directly or indirectly
immediately following such merger, consolidation, share exchange or
reorganization, at least 80% of the combined voting power of the outstanding
Voting Securities of the corporation that is the successor in such merger,
consolidation, share exchange or reorganization in substantially the same
proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such
merger, consolidation, share exchange or reorganization; (II) a complete
liquidation or dissolution of Employer; or (III) an agreement for the sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Employer.

                  (c) Automatic. The term of this Agreement shall automatically
terminate upon Employee's death.

                  (d) Effect. Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights and
obligations under this Agreement shall cease except for the rights and
obligations under Section 11, 12, and 13 of this Agreement and the rights and
obligations under Section 7 of this Agreement to the extent Employee had not
been compensated for services performed prior to termination (Employee's salary
to be pro rated for the portion of the pay period prior to termination).

         11. Confidentiality.

                  (a) "Confidential Information" means and refers to information

relationship to the Confidential Information described above such that Employee
knows or should logically conclude that Employer regards the information to be
Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include any
knowledge or information that Employee already knows as of the date of this
Agreement, that is already known to the general public as of the date of this
Agreement or that becomes known to the general public after the date of this
Agreement through no breach of Employee's confidentiality obligations.

                  (b) Employee hereby recognizes and acknowledges that Employee
may receive information from, or may develop information on the behalf of,
Employer Confidential Information. In consideration of and ancillary to
Employer's agreement to provide Confidential Information to Employee contained
in Section 1 above, Employee hereby agrees to maintain on a confidential basis
all Confidential Information, and Employee agrees that Employee shall not,
without the prior express written consent of Employer, use for Employee's or
anyone else's benefit or disclose to any other person any Confidential
Information, except in connection with Employee's work on behalf of Employer.
Employee hereby acknowledges that, as between Employer and Employee, Employer
has the complete, sole and full right, title and interest in and to the
Confidential Information, and that Employee has no rights, expressed or implied,
with respect to the foregoing other than those expressly provided for to the
contrary in a writing signed by both Employer and Employee. Employee further
agrees that Employee shall, immediately upon Employer's request, return to
Employer all written Confidential Information and all writings regarding oral
Confidential Information whether such writings were authorized or not. Employee
hereby agrees that the confidentiality agreement provided for hereby shall last
with respect to any Confidential Information for two years after such
Confidential Information is disclosed by Employer to Employee or developed by
Employee on behalf of Employer, as the case may be.

         12. Property of Employer. Employee agrees that, upon the expiration or
termination of Employee's employment with Employer, Employee will immediately
surrender to Employer all property, equipment, funds, lists, books, records, and
other materials of Employer or any affiliate thereof in the possession of or
provided to Employee.

         13. Law Governing. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO IN THE STATE OF
