                  (iv) with respect to the Aircraft so long, and only so long,
         as the Manufacturer shall not have received notice from the Indenture
         Trustee as set forth in Section 5(c) hereof that an Indenture Event of
         Default has occurred and is continuing, all rights to furnish BFE and
         to demand, accept and retain all rights in and to all property (other
         than the Aircraft) and services of any kind which the Manufacturer is
         obligated to provide or does provide pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
         with respect to the Aircraft and which are assigned to Buyer hereunder.

         SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. Seller does hereby represent
and warrant that (a) it has furnished to Buyer a true, correct and complete copy
of the Purchase Agreement and the Engine Warranties set forth in the General
Terms Agreement and (b) each of the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms
Agreement is in full force and effect and Seller is not in default thereunder.
Seller does hereby further represent and warrant that Seller has not assigned or
pledged, and hereby covenants that it shall not assign or pledge, so long as
this Assignment shall remain in effect, the whole or any part of the rights
hereby assigned or any of its rights in respect of the Aircraft to anyone other
than Buyer.

         SECTION 4. Acceptance of Assignment; Delivery Dates.

                  (a) Buyer hereby accepts the assignment and sale contained in
Section 2 hereof.

                  (b) Each Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered by the
Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement during the respective months set forth
in Column (B) of Schedule 1 hereto. Not less than five Business Days prior to

to provide written notice to Buyer of (i) the proposed delivery date for such
Aircraft which shall be a Business Day within the respective delivery month
(each, a "DELIVERY DATE"), (ii) the manufacturer's serial numbers of the Engines
to be installed on such Aircraft and (iii) the amount of the Purchase Price

shall promptly provide written notice to the Manufacturer of Buyer's authorized
representative for purposes of taking delivery of such Aircraft (who shall be,
so long as no Indenture Event of Default is continuing, a representative of
Seller).

         SECTION 5. Rights of Seller in Absence of Default.

                  (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and so long as the
Manufacturer and the Engine Manufacturer shall not have received notice from the
Indenture Trustee as set forth in Section 5(c) hereof that an Indenture Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, (1) Buyer authorizes Seller, on behalf
of and to the exclusion of Buyer, to exercise in Seller's own name (i) such
rights and powers of Buyer under the Purchase Agreement and the Engine
Warranties and (ii) such rights as Buyer may have with respect to the Aircraft
under any warranty, covenant, representation, service life policy, aircraft
performance guarantee, indemnity or product support agreement of the
Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any subcontractor or vendor with
respect thereto and to retain any recovery or benefit resulting from the
enforcement of any warranty, covenant, representation, service life policy,
aircraft performance guarantee, indemnity

or product support agreement of the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any
subcontractor or vendor in respect of the Aircraft, except that Seller may not
enter into any change order or other amendment, modification or supplement to
the Purchase Agreement or the Engine Warranties without Buyer's prior written
consent if such change order, amendment, modification or supplement would result
in any rescission, cancellation or termination of the Purchase Agreement or the
Engine Warranties as to the Aircraft or materially diminish the rights and
interests assigned hereunder, and (2) Buyer shall, at Seller's expense,
cooperate with Seller and take such actions as Seller reasonably deems necessary
to enable Seller to enforce such rights and claims.

                  (b) Effective upon the receipt by the Manufacturer and the
Engine Manufacturer of written notice from the Indenture Trustee that an
Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and thereafter until
the Manufacturer and the Engine Manufacturer shall have received written notice
from the Indenture Trustee that such Indenture Event of Default has been cured
or waived, unless the Indenture Trustee, in its sole discretion shall notify
Manufacturer and the Engine Manufacturer to the contrary, the authorization
given to Seller under Section 5(a) hereof to enforce such rights and claims
shall thenceforth cease to be effective and Buyer and its successors and
permitted assigns shall, to the exclusion of Seller, be entitled to assert and
enforce such rights and claims as substitute party plaintiff or otherwise, and
Seller shall, at the request of Buyer or its successors or permitted assigns and
at Seller's expense, cooperate with and take such action as is reasonably
necessary to enable Buyer and its successors and permitted assigns to enforce
such rights and claims. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller hereby
constitutes and appoints Buyer, its successors and permitted assigns, Seller's
true and lawful attorney, irrevocably (it being acknowledged that such
appointment is coupled with an interest, namely Buyer's rights acquired and to
be acquired hereunder) with full power (in the name of Seller or otherwise) to
ask, require, demand, receive, compromise, settle, compound and give acquittance
for any and all monies and claims for monies due and to become due under, or
arising out of, the Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft, to the extent
that the same have been assigned by this Assignment, and for such period as
Buyer may exercise rights with respect thereto hereunder, to endorse any checks
or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or
take any action or institute (or, if previously commenced, assume control of)
any proceedings and to obtain any recovery in connection therewith that Buyer
may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises.

                  (c) For all purposes of this Assignment, the Manufacturer and
the Engine Manufacturer shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Indenture
Event of Default or of the discontinuance or waiver of an Indenture Event of
Default unless and until the Manufacturer and the Engine Manufacturer shall have
received written notice (including by mail, telex or telecopy) thereof from the
Indenture Trustee addressed, if to the Manufacturer, to the Vice President -
Contracts at P.O. Box 3707, Mail Code 21-34, Seattle, Washington 98124, if by
mail and to 32-9430 (Answerback BOEINGREN RNTN), if by telex and to (425)
237-1706, if by telecopy, and, if to the Engine Manufacturer, to the Director of
Commercial Contracts at 1 Newman Way, Cincinnati Ohio 45215, if by mail and to
(513) 243-1345 if by telecopy, and in each case, in acting in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and this Assignment, the
Manufacturer and the Engine Manufacturer may rely conclusively upon any such
notice.

         SECTION 6. Certain Rights and Obligations of the Parties.

                  (a) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding:
(i) Seller shall at all times remain liable to the Manufacturer and the Engine
Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms Agreement in
respect of the Aircraft to perform all of its duties and obligations of "Buyer"
thereunder to the same extent as if this Assignment had not been executed; (ii)
the exercise by Buyer of any of the rights assigned hereunder shall not release
Seller from any of its duties or obligations to the Manufacturer and the Engine
Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement in
respect of the Aircraft except to the extent that such exercise by Buyer shall
constitute performance of such duties and obligations; and (iii) Seller shall at
all times remain liable to perform the obligations of "Buyer" under Part E of
Exhibit C of the Purchase Agreement.

                  (b) Without in any way releasing Seller from any of its duties
or obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms Agreement,
Buyer confirms for the benefit of the Manufacturer and the Engine Manufacturer,
that, insofar as the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms
Agreement relate to the Aircraft, in exercising any rights under the Purchase
Agreement or the General Terms Agreement, or in making any claim with respect to
the Aircraft or other goods and services delivered or to be delivered pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement, the terms and
conditions of the Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, those
relating to any exclusion or limitation of liabilities or warranties as set
forth in Article 12 thereof or those relating to any indemnity and insurance as
set forth in Exhibit C, Part E thereof) or the General Terms Agreement, as the
case may be, shall apply to, and be binding upon, Buyer to the same extent as
Seller.

                  (c) Seller and Buyer agree, expressly for the benefit of the
Manufacturer and the Engine manufacturer, that nothing contained herein shall
(i) subject the Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer to any liability to
which it would not otherwise be subject under the Purchase Agreement or the
General Terms Agreement, (ii) modify in any respect the Manufacturer's or the
Engine Manufacturer's contract rights thereunder, except as provided in the
Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, respectively or
(iii) require the Manufacturer to divest itself of title to or possession of the
Aircraft until delivery thereof and payment therefor as provided in the Purchase
Agreement.

                  (d) The parties hereto, and the Manufacturer and the Engine
Manufacturer by its respective execution and delivery of the Consent and
Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, agree that all of the
statements, representations, covenants and agreements made by Buyer acting
through the Owner Trustee (when made in such capacity) contained in this
Assignment and any agreement referred to herein (other than the Trust
Agreement), unless expressly otherwise stated, are made and intended only for
the purpose of binding the Trust Estate and establishing the existence of rights
and remedies which can be exercised and enforced only against the Trust Estate.
Therefore, anything contained in this Assignment or such other agreements to the
contrary notwithstanding (except for any express provisions that Owner Trustee
is responsible for in its individual capacity), no recourse shall be had with
respect to this Assignment or such other agreements against the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity (or against any institution or person which becomes a
successor trustee or co-trustee) or any officer, director, trustee, servant or
direct or indirect parent or controlling person or persons of any of

                                       6

                                                 [Purchase Agreement Assignment]

them; provided, however, that this Section 6(d) shall not be construed to
prohibit any action or proceeding against the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity for its own willful misconduct or grossly negligent conduct; and
provided, further, that nothing contained in this Section 6(d) shall be
construed to limit the exercise and enforcement in accordance with the terms of
this Assignment or such other agreements of rights and remedies against the
Trust Estate. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6(d) shall survive the
termination of this Assignment and the other Operative Agreements.

         SECTION 7. Further Assignment. In order to secure the repayment of,
inter alia, the Certificates, Buyer has agreed in the Indenture, among other
things, to assign to the Indenture Trustee all of Buyer's right, title and
interest in and to the Purchase Agreement (as it relates to the Aircraft) and
this Assignment, and Seller hereby consents to such assignment.

         SECTION 8. Further Assurances. Seller agrees that at any time and from
time to time Seller shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such
further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may
reasonably request in writing in order to obtain the full benefits of this
Assignment and of the rights and powers herein granted. Seller shall provide a
Deferred Delivery Date Notice to the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer and
the Indenture Trustee with respect to any proposed reassignment of the Purchase
Agreement and the Engine Warranties in connection with the sale of an Aircraft
by Buyer to Seller not less than five Business Days prior to such sale. Buyer
agrees, expressly for the benefit of Manufacturer and the Engine Manufacturer,
that at any time and from time to time upon the written request of Manufacturer
or the Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, Buyer shall promptly and duly
execute and deliver any and all such further assurances, instruments and
documents and take all such further action as Manufacturer or the Engine
Manufacturer, as the case may be, may reasonably request in order to obtain the
full benefits of Buyer's agreements hereunder.

         SECTION 9. No Amendment of Purchase Agreement or General Terms
Agreement. Buyer agrees that it will not enter into any amendment, modification,
supplement, rescission, cancellation or termination of the Purchase Agreement or
the General Terms Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller unless
the Indenture Trustee shall have notified Manufacturer and the Engine
Manufacturer that an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

         SECTION 10. Nondisclosure. Seller and Buyer agree, expressly for the
benefit of the Manufacturer and the Engine Manufacturer, that they will not
disclose the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement to
any third party, except (a) as required by applicable laws or governmental
regulations, (b) with the prior written consent of the Manufacturer or the
Engine Manufacturer, as applicable, (c) to Indenture Trustee and the Loan
Participants and to potential transferees thereof and their respective counsel.
Any disclosure contemplated by clause (c) of the preceding sentence shall
include a requirement that the entity to whom such information is disclosed
shall be subject to obligations of nondisclosure with respect to such
information substantially the same as those contained herein.

         SECTION 11. Miscellaneous.

         (a) This Assignment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of Seller, Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

                              TERMINATION AGREEMENT
                               AND GENERAL RELEASE

         This Termination and General Release ("Agreement") is made and entered
into by and between Edward J. Munden ("Executive") and DevX Energy, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Company").

                                    RECITALS:

         WHEREAS, the Company has employed the Executive pursuant to the terms
of that certain Employment Agreement dated as of November 10, 2000, between the
Executive and the Company (the "Employment Agreement") that grants the Executive
certain rights upon termination of the Executive's employment with the Company
for certain reasons; and

         WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company have reached the following
agreement relating to the Executive's employment with the Company, and the
termination of that employment, and to provide a complete release of the
Executive of any claims or causes of action he might have against the Company in
connection with his employment by the Company and the termination of such
employment;

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the payments set forth below, and
the mutual promises and actions contained herein, it is agreed as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT:

1. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. Effective August 31, 2001 (the
"Termination Date") the Executive's employment with the Company will terminate
for failure to relocate, and the Executive will relinquish all officer and
director positions, all other titles, and all authorities and employment with
respect to the Company and all members of the Company Group (as defined below).
As used herein, "Company Group" means the Company, and any entity that directly
or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the
Company, and for purposes of this definition "control" means the possession,
directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of such entity, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by contract, or otherwise.

         Upon execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the
Employment Agreement shall terminate and the terms and provisions of the
Agreement shall supersede the Employment Agreement, provided, however, that the
covenants and agreements set forth in Paragraphs 9, 13, and 14 of the Employment
Agreement shall survive the termination of the Employment Agreement. In
addition, certain terms and descriptions set forth in the Employment Agreement
shall survive as referenced in this Agreement. Further, the terms of the October
2000 Indemnity Agreement between Executive and Company shall remain in full
force and effect.

2. PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE'S TERMINATION. As a result of the
Executive's termination for failure to relocate, the Executive shall receive the
following payments and benefits.

         (a) Separation Payment. As a result of Executive's termination for
         failure to relocate, and subject to the provisions of, and in
         consideration of the Executive's agreement to comply with the terms of,
         this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum
         payment within 30 days after the Termination Date the aggregate of the
         following amounts:

                  (i) $189,853.00 which comprises the sum of the Executive's
                  unpaid Base Salary through November 6, 2001 and a prorated
                  share of the Executive's Highest Annual Bonus of $150,000 for
                  the Company's current fiscal year and the value of Executive's
                  four weeks of accrued but unpaid vacation through November 6,
                  2001; and

                  (ii) $390,000.00 which represents an amount equal to the sum
                  of the Executive's Base Salary and the Executive's Highest
                  Annual Bonus of $150,000 for the Company's current fiscal
                  year.

         (b) Welfare Benefit Payment. Company will pay Executive the current day
         value of the cash equivalent of current disability, life and family
         health benefits through November 6, 2004 in the amount of $25,000.00.
         Executive acknowledges and agrees that, because he is a Canadian
         resident and citizen, no member of the Company Group is required to
         maintain, pay for or provide continuation coverage for healthcare or
         any other benefit programs for or on account of Executive pursuant to
         COBRA. Executive also acknowledges and agrees that as of the
         Termination Date, the Company Group will no longer provide Executive
         with any life insurance, health insurance or any other welfare
         benefits.

         (c) Change of Control Payment. In the event of a Change of Control as
         defined in Paragraph 10 of the Employment Agreement on or before March
         31, 2003, the Company shall pay Executive or Executive's designee an
         additional lump sum cash payment in the amount of $780,000.00 which
         represents two times the combined value of the Executive's Base Salary
         and the Executive's Highest Annual Bonus of $150,000. Such payment
         shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as other
         executives of the Company receiving similar payments.

         (d) Cancellation of Incentive Stock Options. The grant under the
         Company's 1997 Incentive Equity Plan of incentive stock options to
         purchase 240,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.00
         per share made by the Company to Executive pursuant to the terms and
         conditions of that certain Incentive Stock Option Agreement dated
         October 2000 is hereby canceled.

TERMINATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE                                 PAGE 2

<PAGE>

         (e) Issuance of Warrant. Immediately upon execution of this Agreement,
         the Company shall issue to Executive a Warrant duly authorized by the
         Company's Board of Directors granting Executive the right to purchase
         240,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.00 at any
         time prior to September 27, 2003, subject to the same vesting schedule
         provided in the Warrant. All shares of Common Stock underlying the
         Warrant shall be registered with the Securities Exchange Commission as
         soon as practical under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. A form
         of the Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The shares of Common
         Stock underlying the Warrant may be registered in the same time frame
         that the Company registers other Options available to its executives,
         if applicable.

         (f) Outplacement Services. The Company shall provide the Executive with
         outplacement services the scope and provider of which shall be selected
         by the Executive in the Executive's sole discretion, but in no event
         shall the cost of such outplacement service exceed $10,000.00.

         (g) Other Benefits. Through November 10, 2002, the Company shall
         provide to the Executive tax and financial planning services, and a
         one-time payment of $11,086.00 which represents Executive's current day
         value of a car allowance, at the same level and on the same terms as
         are provided to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and
         parking fees for the stated time period.

3. RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY. The Executive has returned (or, within 10 days of
executing this Agreement, will return) to the Company all of its real and
intellectual property, including all Confidential Information described in
Paragraph 9 of the Employment Agreement, except Executive will retain a cell
phone, Palm organizer, laptop computer, and home office equipment (fax,
computer, and printer).

4. CONSULTING AGREEMENT. If the Company deems such an arrangement appropriate,
Executive will agree to provide consultant services for up to six (6) months. In
his capacity as a consultant, Executive shall be available to answer questions
by telephone or otherwise provide information to the Company, its successors,
assigns, employees, agents or representatives. In no event shall such services
exceed one (1) hour per week. The Company agrees to reimburse the Executive for
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with
the performance of such services.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY. NON-COMPETE AND NON-SOLICITATION.

         (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall
         mean all trade secrets and all written, computer readable or other
         tangible forms of information, documents, memoranda, or other materials
         prepared by or on behalf of any of the Company Group, or the business,
         properties and assets thereof, including, without limitation,
         production reports, reserve reports, exploration programs or targets,
         work-over programs, capital expenditures, proposed or ongoing property
         acquisitions or divestments, employee lists and evaluation

TERMINATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE                                 PAGE 3
<PAGE>

         reports and financial and performance reports, plans or projections.
         Confidential Information does not include information that becomes
         generally available to the public other than as a result of
         unauthorized disclosure by the Executive. All Confidential Information
         which has or will come into Executive's possession shall be deemed to
         be confidential and proprietary to the Company and its sole and
         exclusive property. Executive agrees that he will not divulge to any
         other party any Confidential Information, except as may be required by
         law or as may be directed by the Company. Additionally, Executive
         agrees that upon Executive's termination of employment, Executive shall
         promptly return to the Company Group any and all Confidential
         Information that is in Executive's possession.

         (b) Non-Compete Agreement. Until November 10, 2002, the Executive shall
         not directly or indirectly engage in the business of the acquisition of
         oil and natural gas reserves or of the production, exploration,
         development and exploitation of oil and natural gas reserves, or any
         other business in which any member of the Company Group is directly or
         indirectly engaged as of the Termination Date; or any other business in
         which any member of the Company Group directly or indirectly engages
         during the term of the Agreement; provided, however, that the
         restriction in this Section 5 shall apply only to the reasonable and
         limited geographic area consisting of a 5 mile radius of the fields or
         leases described on Exhibit B hereto. For purposes of this Section 5,
         the Executive shall be deemed to engage in a business if he directly or
         indirectly, engages or invests in, owns, manages, operates, controls or
         participates in the ownership, management, operation or control of, is
         employed by, associated or in any manner connected with, or renders
         services or advice to, any business engaged in any of the
         above-described activities; provided, however, that the Executive may
         invest in the securities of any enterprise (but without otherwise
         participating in the activities of such enterprise) if (x) such
         securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange
         or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange
         Act of 1934 and (y) the Executive does not beneficially own (as defined
         Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) in
         excess of 5% of the outstanding capital stock of such enterprise;

                  The Executive agrees that if a court of competent jurisdiction
         determines that the length of time or any other restriction, or portion
         thereof, set forth in this Section 5(b) is overly restrictive and
         unenforceable, the court may reduce or modify such restrictions to
         those which it deems reasonable and enforceable under the
         circumstances, and as so reduced or modified, the parties hereto agree
         that the restrictions of this Section 5(b) shall remain in full force
         and effect. The Executive further agrees that if a court of competent
         jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Section 5(b) is
         invalid or against public policy, the remaining provisions of this
         Section 5(b) and the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected
         thereby, and shall remain in full force and effect.

         (c) The Executive further agrees that at no time prior to May 10, 2003
         will he either directly or indirectly, solicit any employee of the
         Company to (x) accept employment, whether permanent or temporary, with
         the Executive or any business entity which competes with

TERMINATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE                                 PAGE 4

<PAGE>

         and/or provides services similar to the Company and with which the
         Executive is associated in any manner, or (y) to terminate such
         employee's employment with the Company.

         (d) The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this
         Section (the "Restrictions"), in view of the nature of the business in
         which the Company is engaged, are reasonable and necessary in order to
         protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation
         thereof would result in irreparable injury to the Company, and the
         Executive therefore further acknowledges that, in the event the
         Executive violates, or threatens to violate, any of such Restrictions,
         the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent
         jurisdiction, without the posting of any bond or other security,
         preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an
         equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits
         arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in
         addition to any other rights or remedies in law or equity to which the
         Company or any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company may be entitled.
         If the Executive violates any of the Restrictions, the restricted
         period shall not run in favor of the Executive from the time of
         commencement of any such violation until such time as such violation
         shall be cured by the Executive to the satisfaction of the Company. If
         any Restriction, or any part thereof, is determined in any judicial or
         administrative proceeding to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
         of the Restrictions shall not thereby be affected and shall be given
         full effect, without regard to the invalid provisions. If the period of
         time or scope of activity in the Restrictions should be adjudged
         unreasonable in any judicial or administrative proceeding, then the
         court or administrative body shall have the power to reduce the period
         of time or the scope covered and, in its reduced form, such provision
         shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

6. RELEASE BY THE EXECUTIVE. In consideration for the Company's promises
provided herein, the Executive hereby releases, acquits, and forever discharges
the Company, its owners, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors,
officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, divisions, subsidiaries,

         of the Company to assume the obligations of the Company under this
         Agreement. Such assumption shall be made in writing in form and
         substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive.

         (b) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or may be held
         by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or
         unenforceable to any extent, the validity of the remaining parts,
         terms, or provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby,
         and such illegal or invalid part, term, or provision shall be deemed
         not to be part of this Agreement. The remaining provisions shall
         nevertheless survive and continue in full force and effect without
         being invalidated in any way.

         (c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement
         between the parties and there are no other agreements or understandings
         other than those set out or specifically referenced in this Agreement.

         (d) Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at
         any time by the party hereto which is entitled to have the benefit
         thereof, but such waiver shall only be effective if evidenced by a
         writing signed by such party, and a waiver on one occasion shall not be
         deemed to be a waiver of the same or any other type of breach on a
         future occasion. Unless there are specified times for performance or
         forbearance herein, no failure or delay by a party hereto in
         exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver
         thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
         other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
         power.

         (e) Texas Law. This Agreement is made within the State of Texas and
         shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced, and governed under the
         laws of the State of Texas, and shall in all cases be construed as a
         whole (according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against
         any of the parties).

         (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
         of which shall be construed as an original for all purposes, but all of
         which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

18. SEPARATE COUNSEL. The Executive is advised by the Company that before he
signs this Agreement he should consult with an attorney.

19. 21 DAYS TO SIGN; 7-DAY REVOCATION PERIOD. By signing below, Executive
confirms that he: (1) has read this Agreement carefully; (2) has been given a
period of at least twenty-one (21) days to consider and review this Agreement;
(3) is aware of his right to consult with legal counsel and acknowledges that he
has had ample opportunity to do so if he chose; and (4) understands all of the
provisions contained in this Agreement. The Executive further understands that
he may revoke this Agreement at any time during the seven (7) days after signing
it, and that this Agreement shall not become effective until the seven (7) day
revocation period has passed.
