&#147;For All&#148; in the election of Class 1 Directors and &#147;For&#148; Proposal 2.&#160; If the proxy is executed in such a manner so
as not to withhold authority to vote for the election of any nominee, it shall
be deemed to grant authority to vote for such nominee.</b>&#160; If any other business is properly brought
before the meeting, any unspecified proxies will be voted in accordance with
the judgment of the persons voting those shares.&#160; The Company will pay the cost of soliciting
proxies.&#160; In addition to the use of the
mails, proxies may be solicited by the Directors, Officers, and employees of
the Company without additional compensation, by personal interview, telephone,
or other means of electronic communication.&#160;
Arrangements also may be made with brokerage firms and other custodians,
dealers, banks, and trustees, or their nominees who hold the voting securities
of record, for sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.&#160; Upon request, the Company will reimburse the
brokers, custodians, dealers, banks, or their nominees for their reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses.</font></p>

entitled to notice of and to vote on the election of two Class&nbsp;1 Directors
and the approval of a stock option grant to Thomas J. Shaw.&#160; Each share of Common Stock entitles the

of Common Stock is required for the election of each of the proposed Class&nbsp;1

present, the two nominees for Class&nbsp;1 Director positions who receive the
greatest number of votes cast for election by the holders of record of Common
Stock on July&nbsp;27, 2009, shall be the duly elected Class&nbsp;1

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On July&nbsp;15, 2009, the Compensation and Benefits
Committee, a committee of the Board of Directors made up of three independent
Directors, granted an option (outside of any pre-approved plan) to purchase
3,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr.&nbsp;Thomas J. Shaw, the Company&#146;s
founder, developer of all of its products, and President and Chief Executive
Officer.&#160; The option vests on July&nbsp;15,
2010 and terminates on July&nbsp;15, 2019.&#160;
The exercise price of the option was 100% of the fair market value on
the date of grant by the committee which was $0.81.&#160; In the event of death, disability or
termination (otherwise than for cause) the vested portion of the option will
terminate 12 months after such event.&#160;
The non-vested portion shall automatically terminate upon the happening
of any of such events.&#160; In the event of
termination for cause the option shall terminate immediately.&#160; The Board of Directors is seeking shareholder
approval of this grant.&#160; A summary of the
plan is as follows:</font></p>

Company resulting from the grant of this option. Upon exercise, Mr.&nbsp;Shaw
will recognize income and the Company may recognize a tax expense. The amount
of income and the Company&#146;s deduction will be equal to the difference between
the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise
price. The income realized will be taxed to Mr. Shaw at ordinary income tax
rates for federal income tax purposes at the time of exercise. Withholding and
payment of employment taxes are required upon exercise. On subsequent
disposition of the shares acquired upon exercise, capital gain or loss as
determined under the normal capital asset holding period rules will be realized
in the amount of the difference between the proceeds of sale and the fair
market value of the shares on the date of exercise. The general effect of this
issuance upon other stockholders is limited to the fact that Mr. Shaw&#146;s
potential stock ownership (assuming the exercise of all ownership and
conversion of all preferred stock and convertible debt) has increased from
35.5% to 44.6%. It is also dilutive (upon exercise) for earnings per share when

will not be registered with the Commission but shall be exempt from
registration under Section&nbsp;4(1)&nbsp;of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the &#147;Act&#148;).&#160; The grant itself
will not be registered as no &#147;sale&#148; (as contemplated by Section&nbsp;5 of the
Act) will have occurred at such time.&#160;
This exemption is appropriate as the securities will be issued to one
person upon exercise of the option.</font></p>

able to own a total of 11,780,000 shares of Common Stock and control another
2,800,000 shares via a Voting Agreement with Ms.&nbsp;Suzanne August. In such
event, Mr.&nbsp;Shaw would control 54.2% of the Common Stock outstanding or
44.6% of the outstanding Common Stock if all preferred stock and convertible
debt was converted and all options were exercised.&#160; Under Texas law, a majority vote of the eligible
Common Stock is required in order to undertake action at the shareholders&#146;
direction.&#160; However, a vote of two-thirds
(2/3) is required to approve a major corporate action such as the sale of the
Company or substantially all of its assets.</font></p>

as required from time to time when important matters arise requiring Board
action between scheduled meetings. During the last fiscal year, the Board of
Directors met seven times.&#160; Mr.&nbsp;Marwan
Saker attended fewer than 75 percent of the aggregate of meetings of the Board
of Directors and the Committees on which he served in 2008.&#160; The Board of Directors has established

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We establish,
through our Nominating Committee, selection criterion that identifies desirable
skills and experience for prospective Board members, including those properly
nominated by shareholders, and addresses the issues of diversity and
background. The Board, with the assistance of the Nominating Committee, selects
potential new Board members using the criteria and priorities established from
time to time based upon the needs of the Company.&#160; The composition, skills, and needs of the
Board change over time and will be considered in establishing the desirable
profile of candidates for any specific opening on the Board of Directors.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant
to Section&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;of the Nominating Committee Charter, at a minimum,
recommended nominees by the Nominating Committee for service on the Board must
be well regarded and experienced participants in their field(s)&nbsp;of
specialty, familiar at the time of their appointment with our business, willing
to devote the time and attention necessary to deepen and refine their
understanding of the Company and the issues facing it, and must have an
understanding of the demands and responsibilities of service on a public
company board of directors. &#160;The
Nominating Committee will also consider such qualities as independence from the
Company.&#160; Each nominee will be considered
both on his or her individual merits and in relation to existing or other
potential members of the Board, with a view to establishing a well-rounded,
diverse, knowledgeable, and experienced Board.</font></p>

Nominating Committee considers nominees recommended by Board members,
Management, and the shareholders.&#160; It is
further empowered, when necessary in its judgment, to retain and compensate
third party search firms to assist in identifying or evaluating potential
nominees.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our
executive officer compensation program (the &#147;Compensation Program&#148;) is based on
the belief that competitive compensation is essential to attract, retain,

accomplish the following:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">To
achieve these objectives, the Compensation and Benefits Committee has approved
an executive officer compensation program that consists of four basic
components:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

Choose to Pay Each Element of Our Compensation Program</font></b></p>

Salary</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
choose to pay a significant component of our compensation in base salary due to
the fact that our financial performance is constrained by the monopolistic
activities of BD.&#160; We have been blocked
from access to the market by exclusive marketing practices engaged in by BD who
dominates the market.&#160; We believe that
its monopolistic business practices continue despite its paying $100 million to
settle a prior lawsuit with us in 2004 for anticompetitive practices, business
disparagement, and tortious interference.&#160;
Until such time as we believe that we have access to the market, we
believe that it is appropriate to weigh our Compensation Program heavily in
favor of base salaries rather than in incentive compensation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">From
time to time and when our cash reserves allow (taking into account the
continued need to compete in this monopolistic environment and the continued
need for significant cash reserves) we grant cash bonuses in order to reward
significant efforts or the accomplishment of short-term goals.&#160; The last bonuses were granted in 2003.&#160; The CEO has never been granted any bonuses of
any kind.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Long-term
incentives are provided through grants of stock options.&#160; The grants are designed to align the
interests of executive officers with those of stockholders and to provide each
executive officer with a significant incentive to manage from the perspective
of an owner with an equity stake in the Company.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Executive
compensation remains the same until there is a review of such compensation by
the Compensation and Benefits Committee.&#160;
Compensation, other than that of the Chief Executive Officer, has not
been reviewed annually.&#160; Under the terms
of Mr.&nbsp;Shaw&#146;s employment agreement, his compensation is reviewed
annually.&#160; In the past, when there is a
review of executive compensation, we have retained an outside consulting firm,
Trinity Executive Recruiters,&nbsp;Inc., to provide benchmarks for similar
compensation given the multiple and varied positions each executive fulfills as
well as our size and the hostile environment in which we operate.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
base salary for each of our executive officers is subjectively determined
primarily on the basis of the following factors:&#160; experience, individual performance,
contribution to our performance, level of responsibility, duties and functions,
salary levels in effect for comparable positions within and without our
industry, and internal base salary comparability considerations.&#160; However, salaries can also be affected by the
long-term needs of the Company.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">These
base salaries are reviewed periodically and may be adjusted based upon the
factors discussed in the previous sentence, as well as upon individual
performance during the previous fiscal year, changes in the duties,
responsibilities and functions of the executive officer, and general changes in
the compensation peer group in which we compete for executive talent.&#160; The relative weight given to each of these factors
in the Compensation and Benefits Committee&#146;s recommendation differs from
individual to individual, as the Compensation and Benefits Committee deems
appropriate.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Beginning
August&nbsp;1, 2009, all employees above a certain salary level had their&#160; salaries reduced by 10%.&#160; This included all&#160; Executive Officers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For
2008, we did not grant bonuses to our executive officers.&#160; The last bonuses were paid in 2003.&#160; These bonuses, when paid, are paid on a
discretionary basis, as determined by the Compensation and Benefits Committee.&#160; Factors considered by the Compensation and
Benefits Committee in determining discretionary cash bonuses are personal
performance, level of responsibility, and many of the same factors considered
by the Compensation and Benefits Committee and discussed above when it reviews
and sets base salaries, except with a greater focus on the prior fiscal
year.&#160; The Compensation and Benefits
Committee also considers our need to retain cash in deciding whether to grant
cash bonuses.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have issued stock
options to our employees from time to time and may do so in the future.&#160; We did not issue any stock options in 2006 or
2007.&#160; We issued new options under the
2008 Stock Option Plan to purchase an aggregate of 962,683 shares of Common
Stock in exchange for the cancellation of tendered options pursuant to an
Exchange Offer in 2008.&#160; We issued
incentive stock options (&#147;ISOs&#148;) for the purchase of 269,956 shares of Common
Stock and Non Qualified Stock Options (&#147;NQSOs&#148;) for the purchase of 229,494
shares of Common Stock to Executive Officers and Directors under the 2008 Stock
Option Plan in July&nbsp;2009.&#160; We
further granted an option (outside of any plan) for the purchase of 3,000,000
shares of Common Stock to Thomas J. Shaw, our Chief Executive Officer, which is
the subject of Proposal No.&nbsp;2 herein.&#160;
Options are generally granted to regular full-time employees and
officers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If
stock options are to be issued, Management prepares a proposal to the
Compensation and Benefits Committee.&#160;
Considerations by Management in its initial proposal in determining a
suitable aggregate fair market value of options to be granted include our
financial condition, the number of options already outstanding, and the benefit
to the non-executive officer employees.&#160;
The proposal includes information relating to the expected expense of
such grants to be recognized by us, the approximate number of options to be
issued, the number of options currently outstanding, the employees to be
included, the amount of stock currently outstanding, and the method under which
the options would be awarded.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Once
the dollar amount of options to be granted is approved, Management begins
determining the aggregate number of shares underlying options that can be
granted under such approval (based on the fair value of an option for the
purchase of one underlying share).&#160;
Factors included in the determination of the value of an option grant
for the purchase of one share include current market price of the Company&#146;s
stock, the proposed exercise price, the proposed expiration date, the
volatility of the Company&#146;s stock, and the risk free rate.&#160; We may retain an independent outside
consultant to determine such value.&#160; In

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Management
provides the Compensation and Benefits Committee with a proposal regarding
option grants to executive officers.&#160; If
the recommendation is acceptable, the committee grants the options.&#160; If the committee feels changes are merited,
it grants options on its own terms.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">With
regard to many past grants, after the aggregate number of shares underlying the
options to be granted was determined, we allocated the options to our various
departments using a factor based on their annual compensation times their
performance rating.&#160; The individual
employee&#146;s allocation factor was the numerator of a fraction.&#160; The denominator was the department&#146;s sum of
all factors (annual compensation times performance ratings of all the eligible
employees).&#160; The resulting fraction was
multiplied by the stock options to be awarded to determine the employee&#146;s
individual portion of the aggregate approved options.&#160; Future grants may be based on the value of
contributions to the Company and not necessarily pursuant to any formula.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
allocation was, from time to time, further reviewed by each department&#146;s
management if they believed certain employees were not awarded an appropriate
number of options, which Management would consider.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Each
stock option grant to employees allows the employee to acquire shares of Common
Stock at a fixed price per share (never less than the closing stock price of
the Common Stock on the date of grant) for a fixed period (usually ten
years).&#160; With regard to grants prior to
2009, each option generally became exercisable after three years, contingent
upon the employee&#146;s continued employment with us.&#160; The exceptions include options issued to
Officers and Directors pursuant to the Exchange Offer, which vested immediately
for non-employee Directors and after one year for employees (including employee
Directors) and options granted in 2009 which vested in one year for executive
officers.&#160; Accordingly, generally stock
option grants will provide a return to the employee only if the employee
remains employed by us during the vesting period, and then only if the market
price of the underlying Common Stock appreciates.&#160; Future grants may vest over a shorter or
longer period.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">All of
our long-term compensation consists of non-cash compensation in the form of
stock options.&#160; We believe that the
granting of stock options incentivizes executives to maximize our long-term
strengths as well as our stock price.&#160;
However, because we are operating in a monopolistic environment and our
stock price has little relationship with our performance, the most significant
component of compensation is base salary and not stock options.&#160; Management is incented to maximize
shareholder value and will be rewarded if they do so.&#160; However, a significant base salary enables us
to retain this competent Management despite the current inability to provide
valuable equity incentives.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Generally,
option awards are granted at the discretion of the Board after recommendation
of the Compensation and Benefits Committee or on the committee&#146;s own
initiative.&#160; No awards are granted if the
Compensation and Benefits Committee does not support a recommendation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Unfortunately,
our stock price does not always react as expected to our achievements.&#160; Accordingly, at times options have been
granted to aid in retaining competent and experienced executives without regard
to the then current stock price.&#160;
However, such options always have exercise prices that are at or above
fair market value on the date of grant.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
addition, there is no relationship between the date of grant of options and our
possession of material non-public information.&#160;
Furthermore, it is our policy with regard to options that (although the
options could be exercised) the underlying shares could not be sold into the
market while the executive was in possession of material non-public information
under our insider trading policy.&#160;
Accordingly, we believe that there is minimal risk of the executive
profiting from such material nonpublic information.</font></p>

reserves as well as trends in sales and costs are taken into account when
considering the advisability of increasing base salaries or granting cash bonuses.&#160; At such times that any of these factors make
it inadvisable to increase salaries or grant bonuses, then consideration is
given to increasing option awards taking into account the value of prior option
awards.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
consider our cash position, current liquidity trends, and the short-term and
long-term needs for cash reserves (especially in light of the hostile
environment in which we operate) when evaluating whether we can change
compensation materially at a given time.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are
very aware that the vast majority of options previously granted to our
executives were (prior to the 2008 option exchange) significantly out of the
money.&#160; This is currently even true of
the options issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer which occurred in November&nbsp;2008,
which, among its other purposes, was intended to rectify the fact that options
were underwater.&#160; Accordingly, future
compensation will likely continue to be dominated by base salary as well as
periodic bonuses when possible.</font></p>

options granted to executives and other employees are expensed for accounting
purposes under Financial Accounting Standard (&#147;FAS&#148;) 123(R).&#160; We expense all of our option costs as we do
the costs of salaries and bonuses.&#160;
Accordingly, the impact of tax treatment of various compensation forms
does not impact our compensation decisions.&#160;
Stock option expense is not recognized for tax purposes, except in the
case of non-qualified stock options.&#160; For
non-qualified stock options, the intrinsic value of the option is recognized
when the option is exercised.</font></p>

was not a re-pricing of options or other award in the last fiscal year, but
there was an exchange of options pursuant to our Option Exchange Plan, whereby
we offered to exchange certain outstanding eligible options for new options, on
the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Exchange Offer.&#160; The exercise price was arbitrarily chosen as
the higher of:&#160; 1) the last sales price
of our Common Stock as reported on the NYSE Amex on the date of grant rounded
to the next highest dime or 2) $1.30.&#160;
The options were exchanged on a two for one basis.&#160; The new options effectively restarted the ten
year termination date, re-started a one-year vesting period, reduced the number
of shares eligible for purchase by one half and reduced the exercise price to
$1.30.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
implemented an employee savings and retirement plan (the &#147;401(k)&nbsp;Plan&#148;) in
2005 that is intended to be a tax-qualified plan covering substantially all
employees.&#160; Under the terms of the 401(k)&nbsp;Plan,
employees may elect to contribute up to 88% of their compensation, or the
statutory prescribed limit, if less.&#160; We
may, at our discretion, match employee contributions.&#160; We made matching contributions of
approximately $122,000 and $111,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively. $21,095 and
$19,600 of these matching contributions were to executive officers in 2008 and
2007, respectively.&#160; There were no
matching contributions in 2006.&#160; We have
suspended matching contributions effective August 1, 2009 until further notice.</font></p>

understanding of the demands and responsibilities of service on a public

independence from the Company, as the definition of &#147;independence&#148; may be
