      series of transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of

      or by such voting securities being converted into voting securities of the
      surviving entity), at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power
      represented by the voting securities of BPOMS or the Company or such
      surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction or series

                  a
      reduction in the Employee’s then current Base Salary and such reduction is
      not rescinded within 15 days after written notice from Employee that such
      reduction in Base Salary constitutes grounds for termination for a Good
      Reason Event; or

      the Employee of duties materially inconsistent with the Employee’s
      position, duties, and status with the Company as set forth in Section
      3(a), if done without the Employee’s prior written consent and provided
      such change is not rescinded by the Company within 30 days after written
      notice from Employee specifying the changes described in this subparagraph

      Company moves the Employee’s principal place of employment by a distance
      greater than seventy five (75) miles from the City of Irving, Texas, without the Employee’s
      prior written consent and such action to move Employee is not rescinded

      Good Reason Event.

                

        

      

      

      The
Employee’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of
rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting a Good Reason
Event hereunder; however, a claim that a Good Reason Event has occurred shall be
deemed waived, even if such Good Reason Event has occurred, if not asserted in
writing by the Employee to the Company within 30 days of Employee’s actual
knowledge of the occurrence of such Good Reason Event.

                  Termination

      Salary; plus (y) a portion of the Annual Bonus amount prorated from
      January 1 of the year in which the termination occurs through the Date of
      Termination.  The determination of the prorated Annual Bonus
      amount shall be based on a negotiated amount to be mutually agreed upon in
      good faith between Employee and BPOMS as the likely Annual Bonus amount
      that would have been earned for the full year considering progress made as
      of the Termination Date toward achievement of the Company, BPOMS, and
      other affiliate goals and individual performance goals for the Employee as

      options or similar awards, including all such awards vested prior to the

      (and Employee’s spouse/dependents) then current health, dental and life
      insurance benefits shall be continued at the Company’s expense for a
      period of up to one (1) year.  In the event these plans may not
      be continued by the terms of the plan, then the Company will reimburse
      Employee for these expenses during the period for electing COBRA or
      purchasing an individual plan that is similar to the Company
      plan.  These benefits may be terminated earlier in the event
      Employee becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s
      plan;

      Termination and shall have no further obligations hereunder except for any
