Business Overview

     We are a provider of healthcare staffing services, focusing on the areas of
travel nursing, per diem staffing, contractual clinical services, and private
duty home care. Our travel nurses are recruited domestically as well as
internationally and placed on temporary assignments at healthcare facilities
across the United States. Our per diem nurses are local nurses placed at
healthcare facilities on short-term assignments. Our contractual clinical
services group provides complete clinical management and staffing for healthcare
facilities, and our private duty home care group provides nursing case
management and staffing for skilled and non-skilled care in the home.

     In 2004, approximately 58% (61% in 2003) of our revenue was derived from
the placement of travel nurses on assignment, typically 13 weeks in length. Such
assignments generally involve temporary relocation to the geographic area of the
assignment. In 2004, we also provided per diem nurses to satisfy the very
short-term needs of healthcare facilities. While per diem services provided less
than 29% of our revenue in 2004 (11% in 2003), we believe this market presents a
significant growth opportunity. The balance of our revenue in 2004 and 2003 came
from providing clinical management and staffing to healthcare facilities and
private duty home care. We anticipate there are growth opportunities in these
areas as well and intend to pursue such opportunities as they arise.

     With the existing and growing shortage of nurses in the United States, we
believe there is an opportunity to build a significant company in the field of
healthcare staffing services. We intend to pursue this opportunity through
organic growth of our existing businesses and through the continued acquisition
of complementary companies in this sector. We believe that temporary staffing
companies must consolidate in order to survive. The success of the large
industry leaders is indicative of the efficiency, both in operations as well as
capital formation, of this strategy. Smaller companies in this sector will
increasingly be at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace because
technology, operating efficiency and breadth of service will soon be the key to
survival.

Growth Strategy

     Prior to 2003, we were a development stage company with no commercial
operations. We did not have any revenue in 2002 and did not have any revenue in
2003 until we completed our first acquisition in August 2003. During 2003, we
pursued our operational plan of acquiring companies in the healthcare staffing
field and completed acquisitions of four companies. In 2004, we purchased two
additional companies, and in the first quarter of 2005, we purchased two
additional companies. As a result, we have contracted with more than 1,500
healthcare facilities across 49 states and the District of Columbia. We
anticipate continuing our plan to acquire specialized companies in the
healthcare staffing field for the foreseeable future.

     Our goal is to expand our position within the temporary healthcare staffing
sector in the United States. The key components of our business strategy
include:

      o     Expanding Our Network of Qualified Temporary Healthcare
            Professionals. Through our recruiting efforts both in the United
            States and internationally, we continue to expand our network of
            qualified temporary healthcare professionals. We have a staff of
            professional recruiters who establish contact with qualified
            healthcare professionals by phone, by email and through the
            internet. Our best source, however, is by referrals from satisfied
            healthcare professionals already associated with our company.

      o     Strengthening and Expanding Our Relationships with Hospitals and
            Healthcare Facilities. We continue to strengthen and expand our
            relationships with our hospital and healthcare facility clients, and
            to develop new relationships. Hospitals and healthcare facilities
            are seeking a strong business partner for outsourcing who can
            fulfill the quantity and quality of their staffing needs and help
            them develop strategies for the most cost-effective staffing
            methods. We believe we are well positioned to offer our hospital and
            healthcare facility clients effective solutions to meet their
            staffing needs.

      o     Increasing Our Market Presence in the Per Diem Staffing Market. We
            intend to expand our per diem services to the acute care hospital
            market by opening or acquiring new per diem staffing offices in
            selected markets. We believe that this market presents a substantial
            growth opportunity.

      o     Acquiring Complementary Businesses. We continually evaluate
            opportunities to acquire complementary businesses to strengthen and
            broaden our market presence and suite of products.

<PAGE>

      o     Expanding Service Offerings Through New Staffing Solutions. In order
            to further enhance the growth in our business and improve our
            competitive position in the healthcare staffing sector, we continue
            to explore new service offerings. In addition, we believe there are
            opportunities for growth in allied health (technicians and
            therapists) and we have begun to pursue new initiatives in this area
            as well.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You
should consider carefully the following information about the risks described
below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before
you decide whether to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In those circumstances,
the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part
of the money you paid to buy our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business and Ownership of Our Common Stock

     If we fail to raise additional capital in the near future, our business
will fail.

     We were formed in November 1997 and commenced operations on August 7, 2003
with our acquisition of Baker Anderson Christie, Inc. We are a "start-up"
operation and subject to all the risks inherent in a new business venture, many
of which are beyond our control, including the ability to implement successful
operations, lack of capital to finance acquisitions and failure to achieve
market acceptance. In addition, as a start-up venture we face significant
competition from many companies, virtually all of which are larger, better
financed and have significantly greater market recognition than us.

     As a start-up operation, we have limited cash resources and will need to
raise additional capital through public or private financings or other
arrangements in order to meet current commitments and continue development of
our business. We cannot assure you that additional capital will be available to
us when needed, if at all, or, if available, will be obtained on terms
attractive to us. Our failure to raise additional capital when needed could
cause us to cease our operations.

     We have financed our operations since inception primarily through the
private placement of equity and debt securities and loan facilities. Although
our management recognizes the need to raise funds in the near future, there can
be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating any fundraising
transaction, or if we do consummate such a transaction, that its terms and
conditions will not require us to give investors warrants or other valuable
rights to purchase additional interest in our company, or be otherwise
unfavorable to us. Among other things, the agreements under which we issued some
of our existing securities include, and any securities that we may issue in the
future may also include, terms that could impede our ability to raise additional
funding. The issuance of additional securities could impose additional
restrictions on how we operate and finance our business. In addition, our
current debt financing arrangements involve significant interest expense and
restrictive covenants that limit our operations.

     Our need to raise additional capital in the future could have a dilutive
effect on your investment.

     We will need to raise additional capital. One possibility for raising
additional capital is the public or private sale of our common stock or
securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock.

     If we sell additional shares of our common stock, such sales will further
dilute the percentage of our equity that our existing stockholders own. In
addition, our recent private placement financings have involved the issuance of
securities at a price per share that represented a discount to the trading
prices listed for our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and it
is possible that we will close future private placements involving the issuance
of securities at a discount to prevailing trading prices. Depending upon the
price per share of securities that we sell in the future, a stockholder's
interest in us could be further diluted by any adjustments to the number of
shares and the applicable exercise price required pursuant to the terms of the
agreements under which we previously issued securities. No assurance can be
given that previous or future investors, finders or placement agents will not
claim that they are entitled to additional anti-dilution adjustments or dispute
our calculation of any such adjustments. Any such claim or dispute could require
us to incur material costs and expenses regardless of the resolution and, if
resolved unfavorably to us, to effect dilutive securities issuances or
adjustments to previously issued securities. In addition, future financings may
include provisions requiring us to make additional payments to the investors if
we fail to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of SEC registration statements
by specified dates or take other specified action. Our ability to meet these
requirements may depend on actions by regulators and other third parties, over
which we will have no control. These provisions may require us to make payments
or issue additional dilutive securities, or could lead to costly and disruptive
disputes. In addition, these provisions could require us to record additional
non-cash expenses.

     We may face difficulties identifying acquisitions and integrating these
acquisitions into our operations. These acquisitions may be unsuccessful,
involve significant cash expenditures or expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

     We continually evaluate opportunities to acquire healthcare staffing
companies that complement or enhance our business and frequently have
preliminary acquisition discussions with some of these companies. During 2003 we
acquired four businesses, during 2004 we acquired two businesses, and during the
first quarter of 2005 we acquired two additional businesses. These acquisitions
involve numerous risks, including:

      o     potential loss of revenues following the acquisition;

      o     potential loss of key employees or clients of acquired companies;

      o     difficulties integrating acquired personnel and distinct cultures
            into our business;

      o     difficulties integrating acquired companies into our operating,
            financial planning and financial reporting systems;

      o     diversion of management attention from existing operations; and

      o     assumption of liabilities and exposure to unforeseen liabilities of
            acquired companies, including liabilities for their failure to
            comply with healthcare regulations.

     These acquisitions may also involve significant cash expenditures, debt
incurrence and integration expenses that could seriously harm our financial
condition and results of operations. We may fail to achieve expected
efficiencies and synergies. Any acquisition may ultimately have a negative
impact on our business and financial condition.

     In addition, we have historically faced competition for acquisitions. In
the future, such competition could limit our ability to grow by acquisitions or
could raise the prices of acquisitions and make them less attractive to us.

     Our Series C convertible preferred stock has a significant liquidation
preference.

     As of May 10, 2005, we had (i) 183,028 shares of Series C convertible
preferred stock outstanding and (ii) warrants to purchase 124,075 shares of
Series C convertible preferred stock outstanding. We may sell additional shares
of Series C convertible preferred stock and issue additional warrants to
purchase shares of Series C convertible preferred stock. Each share of Series C
convertible preferred stock is convertible into one hundred (100) shares of our
common stock. In the event of any liquidation or winding up of our company, the
holders of Series C convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, in
preference to the holders of our other equity securities, an amount equal to
five times the original purchase price per share, or $300.00 per share, plus any
dividends declared on the Series C convertible preferred stock but not paid.
Assuming the exercise of all outstanding warrants to purchase Series C
convertible preferred stock, upon a liquidation or winding up of our company,
the holders of our Series C convertible preferred stock would be entitled to
receive approximately $92,134,000 prior to the payment of any amounts to the
holders of our other equity securities, including common stock offered under
this prospectus. As a result, upon a liquidation or winding up of the Company,
there may not be sufficient proceeds, following the payment of the Series C
liquidation preference described above, to make any distribution to the holders
of our other equity securities, including common stock offered under this
prospectus.

     There is a lack of an active public market for our common stock, and the
trading price of our common stock is subject to volatility.

     The quotation of shares of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board began on February 24, 2003. There can be no assurances, however,
that a market will develop or continue for our common stock. Our common stock
may be thinly traded, if traded at all, even if we achieve full operation and
generate significant revenue and is likely to experience significant price
fluctuations. In addition, our stock may be defined as a "penny stock" under
Rule 3a51-1 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In general, a "penny stock"
includes securities of companies which are not listed on the principal stock
exchanges or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System, or Nasdaq, National Market System and have a bid price in the market of
less than $5.00; and companies with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000
($5,000,000 if the issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three
years), or which have recorded revenues of less than $6,000,000 in the last
three years. "Penny stocks" are subject to Rule 15g-9, which imposes additional
sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to
persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally,


                                       7
<PAGE>

individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding
$200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses, or individuals who are
officers or directors of the issuer of the securities). For transactions covered
by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for
the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the
transaction prior to sale. Consequently, this Rule may adversely affect the
ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock, and therefore, may adversely
affect the ability of our stockholders to sell common stock in the public
market.

     The trading price of our common stock is likely to be subject to wide
fluctuation. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock may
include:

      o     variations in our financial results;

      o     announcements of innovations, new solutions, strategic alliances or
            significant agreement by us or by our competitors;

      o     recruitment or departure of key personnel;

      o     changes in estimates of our financial results or changes in the
            recommendations of any securities analysts that elect to follow our
            common stock;

      o     market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers
            and the economy as a whole; and

      o     sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception
            that substantial amounts of our common stock will be sold, by our
            existing stockholders in the public market.

     Our credit facility imposes significant expenses and restrictive covenants
upon us.

     In June 2004 we obtained a $15.0 million revolving credit facility, which
was reduced in 2005 to $10.0 million (the "Revolving Facility") from Bridge
Healthcare Finance, LLC. In August 2004 we obtained a $10.0 million term loan
credit facility from Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC (the "Term Facility" and
together with the Revolving Facility, the "Credit Facility"). Bridge Opportunity
Finance, LLC is an affiliate of Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC.

     The Credit Facility involves significant interest expenses and other fees.
In addition, except in certain limited circumstances, the Revolving Facility
cannot be pre-paid in full without us incurring a significant pre-payment
penalty.

     The Credit Facility imposes various restrictions on our activities without
the consent of the lenders, including a prohibition on fundamental changes to us
or our direct or indirect subsidiaries (including certain consolidations,
mergers and sales and transfer of assets, and limitations on our ability or any
of our direct or indirect subsidiaries to grant liens upon our property or
assets). In addition, under the Credit Facility we must meet certain net worth,
earnings and debt service coverage requirements. The Credit Facility includes
events of default (with grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, upon
the occurrence of certain events of default, payment of all amounts payable
under the Credit Facility, including the principal amount of, and accrued
interest on, the Credit Facility may be accelerated. In addition, upon the
occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all
amounts payable under the Credit Facility, including the principal amount of,
and accrued interest on, the Credit Facility will automatically become
immediately due and payable.

     The expenses and restrictions associated with the Credit Facility may have
the effect of limiting our operations. In addition, our failure to pay required
interest expenses and other fees or to meet restrictions under the Credit
Facility would have a material adverse affect on us.

     MedCap Partners, L.P. controls a majority of our outstanding capital
stock, and this may delay or prevent change of control of our company or
adversely affect our stock price.

     MedCap Partners, L.P., the sole selling stockholder under this prospectus,
controls approximately 58.0% of our outstanding capital stock, on an
as-converted basis. As a result, MedCap is able to exercise control over matters
requiring stockholder approval, such as the election of directors and the
approval of significant corporate transactions. These types of transactions
include transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of our
company or other transactions that the non-controlling stockholders may deem to
be in their best interests and in which such stockholders could receive a


                                       8
<PAGE>

premium for their shares. C. Fred Toney, a member of our Board of Directors, is
the managing member of MedCap Management & Research LLC, the general partner of
MedCap Partners, L.P.

     The successful implementation of our business strategy depends upon the
ability of our management to monitor and control costs.

     With respect to our planned operations, management cannot accurately
project or give any assurance with respect to our ability to control development
and operating costs and/or expenses in the future. Consequently, as we expand
our commercial operations, management may not be able to control costs and
expenses adequately, and such operations may generate losses.

     The ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel to operate
and manage our operations and qualified sales personnel is extremely important
and our failure to do so could adversely affect us.

     Presently, we are dependent upon the personal efforts of our management
team. The loss of any of our officers or directors could have a material adverse
effect upon our business and future prospects. We do not presently have
key-person life insurance upon the life of any of our officers or directors.
Additionally, as we continue our planned expansion of commercial operations, we
will require the services of additional skilled personnel. There can be no
assurance that we can attract persons with the requisite skills and training to
meet our future needs or, even if such persons are available, that they can be
hired on terms favorable to us.

     In addition, execution of our business strategy and continued growth of our
business are substantially dependent upon our ability to attract, develop and
retain qualified and skilled sales personnel who engage in selling and business
development for our services. The available pool of qualified sales personnel
candidates is limited. We commit substantial resources to the recruitment,
training, development and operational support of our sales personnel. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to recruit, develop and retain qualified
sales personnel in sufficient numbers or that our sales personnel will achieve
productivity levels sufficient to enable growth of our business. Failure to
attract and retain productive sales personnel could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

     If we are unable to attract qualified nurses and healthcare professionals
for our healthcare staffing business, our business could be negatively impacted.

     We rely significantly on our ability to attract and retain nurses and
healthcare professionals who possess the skills, experience and licenses
necessary to meet the requirements of our hospital and healthcare facility
clients. We compete for healthcare staffing personnel with other temporary
healthcare staffing companies and with hospitals and healthcare facilities. We
must continually evaluate and expand our temporary healthcare professional
network to keep pace with our hospital and healthcare facility clients' needs.
Currently, there is a shortage of qualified nurses in most areas of the United
States, competition for nursing personnel is increasing, and salaries and
benefits have risen. We may be unable to continue to increase the number of
temporary healthcare professionals that we recruit, decreasing the potential for
growth of our business. Our ability to attract and retain temporary healthcare
professionals depends on several factors, including our ability to provide
temporary healthcare professionals with assignments that they view as attractive
and to provide them with competitive benefits and wages. We cannot assure you
that we will be successful in any of these areas. The cost of attracting
temporary healthcare professionals and providing them with attractive benefit
packages may be higher than we anticipate and, as a result, if we are unable to
pass these costs on to our hospital and healthcare facility clients, our
profitability could decline. Moreover, if we are unable to attract and retain
temporary healthcare professionals, the quality of our services to our hospital
and healthcare facility clients may decline and, as a result, we could lose
clients.

     The temporary staffing industry is highly competitive and the success and
future growth of our business depend upon our ability to remain competitive in
obtaining and retaining temporary staffing clients.

     The temporary staffing industry is highly competitive and fragmented, with
limited barriers to entry. We compete in national, regional and local markets
with full-service agencies and in regional and local markets with specialized
temporary staffing agencies. Some of our competitors include AMN Healthcare
Services, Inc., Cross Country, Inc., Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc. and
On Assignment, Inc. All of these companies have significantly greater marketing
and financial resources than we do. Our ability to attract and retain clients is
based on the value of the service we deliver, which in turn depends principally
on the speed with which we fill assignments and the appropriateness of the match
based on clients' requirements and the skills and experience of our temporary
employees. Our ability to attract skilled, experienced temporary professionals
is based on our ability to pay competitive wages, to provide competitive
benefits, to provide multiple, continuous assignments and thereby increase the


                                       9
<PAGE>

retention rate of these employees. To the extent that competitors seek to gain
or retain market share by reducing prices or increasing marketing expenditures,
we could lose revenues and our margins could decline, which could seriously harm
our operating results and cause the trading price of our stock to decline. As we
expand into new geographic markets, our success will depend in part on our
ability to gain market share from competitors. We expect competition for clients
to increase in the future, and the success and growth of our business depend on
our ability to remain competitive.

     Our business depends upon our continued ability to secure and fill new
orders from our hospital and healthcare facility clients, because we do not have
long-term agreements or exclusive contracts with them.

     We generally do not have long-term agreements or exclusive guaranteed order
contracts with our hospital and healthcare facility clients. The success of our
business depends upon our ability to continually secure new orders from
hospitals and other healthcare facilities and to fill those orders with our
temporary healthcare professionals. Our hospital and healthcare facility clients
are free to place orders with our competitors and may choose to use temporary
healthcare professionals that our competitors offer them. Therefore, we must
maintain positive relationships with our hospital and healthcare facility
clients. If we fail to maintain positive relationships with our hospital and
healthcare facility clients, we may be unable to generate new temporary
healthcare professional orders and our business may be adversely affected.

     Fluctuations in patient occupancy at our clients' hospitals and healthcare
facilities may adversely affect the demand for our services and therefore the
profitability of our business.

     Demand for our temporary healthcare staffing services is significantly
affected by the general level of patient occupancy at our hospital and
healthcare clients' facilities. When occupancy increases, hospitals and other
healthcare facilities often add temporary employees before full-time employees
are hired. As occupancy decreases, hospitals and other healthcare facilities
typically reduce their use of temporary employees before undertaking layoffs of
their regular employees. In addition, we may experience more competitive pricing
pressure during periods of occupancy downturn. Occupancy at our clients'
hospitals and healthcare facilities also fluctuates due to the seasonality of
some elective procedures. We are unable to predict the level of patient
occupancy at any particular time and its effect on our revenues and earnings.

     We have a substantial amount of goodwill and other intangible assets on our
balance sheet. Our level of goodwill and other intangible assets may have the
effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses.

     As of March 31, 2005, we had $24.9 million of goodwill and other
unamortized intangible assets on our balance sheet, which represents the excess
of the total purchase price of our acquisitions over the fair value of the net
assets acquired. At March 31, 2005, goodwill and other intangible assets
represented 80% of our total assets.

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all purchase
method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142
requires that, subsequent to January 1, 2002, goodwill not be amortized but
rather that it be reviewed annually for impairment. In the event impairment is
identified, a charge to earnings would be recorded. We have adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. Although it does not affect our
cash flow, an impairment charge of goodwill to earnings has the effect of
decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses, as the case may be. If we are
required to write down a substantial amount of goodwill, our stock price could
be adversely affected.

     We could be difficult to acquire due to anti-takeover provisions in our
charter, our stockholders rights plan and Delaware law.

    Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the
effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of
discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of our company.
These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to take corporate
actions and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.
We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law. Subject to specified exceptions, this section provides
that a corporation may not engage in any business combination with any
interested stockholder during the three-year period following the time that such
stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. This provision could have the
effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company. The
foregoing factors could limit the price that investors or an acquiror might be
willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Industry

     We operate in a regulated industry and changes in regulations or violations
of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that could reduce our
revenues and profitability.

     The healthcare industry is subject to extensive and complex federal and
state laws and regulations related to professional licensure, conduct of
operations, payment for services and payment for referrals. If we fail to comply
with the laws and regulations that are directly applicable to our business, we
could suffer civil and/or criminal penalties or be subject to injunctions or
cease and desist orders.

     Our business is generally not subject to the extensive and complex laws
that apply to our hospital and healthcare facility clients, including laws
related to Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.
However, these laws and regulations could indirectly affect the demand or the
prices paid for our services. For example, our hospital and healthcare facility
clients could suffer civil or criminal penalties or be excluded from
participating in Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs if they fail
to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to their businesses. In
addition, our hospital and healthcare facility clients could receive reduced
reimbursements, or be excluded from coverage, because of a change in the rates
or conditions set by federal or state governments. In turn, violations of or
changes to these laws and regulations that adversely affect our hospital and
healthcare facility clients could also adversely affect the prices that these
clients are willing or able to pay for our services.

     In addition, improper actions by our employees and other service providers
may subject us to regulatory and litigation risk.

     Further government regulations or healthcare reform could negatively
impact our business opportunities, revenues and margins.

     Although our operations are currently not subject to any significant
government regulations, it is possible that, in the future, such regulations may
be legislated. Although we cannot predict the extent of any such future
regulations, a possibility exists that future or unforeseen changes may have an
adverse impact upon our ability to continue or expand our operations as
presently planned.

     The U.S. government has undertaken efforts to control increasing healthcare
costs through legislation, regulation and voluntary agreements with medical care
providers and drug companies. In the recent past, the U.S. Congress has
considered several comprehensive healthcare reform proposals. The proposals were
generally intended to expand healthcare coverage for the uninsured and reduce
the growth of total healthcare expenditures. While the U.S. Congress did not
adopt any comprehensive reform proposals, members of Congress may raise similar
proposals in the future. If any of these proposals are approved, hospitals and
other healthcare facilities may react by spending less on healthcare staffing,
including nurses. If this were to occur, we would have fewer business
opportunities, which could seriously harm our business.

     State governments have also attempted to control increasing healthcare
costs. For example, the state of Massachusetts has recently implemented a
regulation that limits the hourly rate payable to temporary nursing agencies for
registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nurses' aides. The
state of Minnesota has also implemented a statute that limits the amount that
nursing agencies may charge nursing homes. Other states have also proposed
legislation that would limit the amounts that temporary staffing companies may
charge. Any such current or proposed laws could seriously harm our business,
revenues and margins.

     Furthermore, third party payers, such as health maintenance organizations,
increasingly challenge the prices charged for medical care. Failure by hospitals
and other healthcare facilities to obtain full reimbursement from those third
party payers could reduce the demand or the price paid for our staffing
services.


                                       11
<PAGE>

     Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured
liabilities.

     In recent years, healthcare providers have become subject to an increasing
number of legal actions alleging malpractice, product liability or related legal
theories. Many of these actions involve large claims and significant defense
costs. In addition, we may be subject to claims related to torts or crimes
committed by our employees or temporary healthcare professionals. In some
instances, we are required to indemnify our clients against some or all of these
risks. A failure of any of our employees or healthcare professionals to observe
our policies and guidelines intended to reduce these risks, relevant client
policies and guidelines or applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and
regulations could result in negative publicity, payment of fines or other
damages. Our professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability
insurance coverage may not cover all claims against us or continue to be
available to us at a reasonable cost. If we are unable to maintain adequate
insurance coverage or if our insurers deny coverage we may be exposed to
substantial liabilities.

     We may be legally liable for damages resulting from our hospital and
healthcare facility clients' mistreatment of our healthcare personnel.

     Because we are in the business of placing our temporary healthcare
professionals in the workplaces of other companies, we are subject to possible
claims by our temporary healthcare professionals alleging discrimination, sexual
harassment, negligence and other similar activities by our hospital and
healthcare facility clients. The cost of defending such claims, even if
groundless, could be substantial and the associated negative publicity could
adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified healthcare
professionals in the future.

     Demand for medical staffing services is significantly affected by the
general level of economic activity and unemployment in the United States.

     When economic activity increases, temporary employees are often added
before full-time employees are hired. However, as economic activity slows, many
companies, including our hospital and healthcare facility clients, reduce their
use of temporary employees before laying off full-time employees. In addition,
we may experience more competitive pricing pressure during periods of economic
downturn. Therefore, any significant economic downturn could have a material
adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

                               SELLING STOCKHOLDER

     The following table sets forth, as of May 10, 2005, the name of the selling
stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such
selling stockholder before and after this offering and the number of shares that
may be offered pursuant to this prospectus. This information is based on
information provided by or on behalf of the selling stockholder and, with regard
to the beneficial holdings of the selling stockholder, is accurate only to the
extent beneficial holdings information was disclosed to us by or on behalf of
the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder and holders listed in any
supplement to this prospectus, and any transferors, pledgees, donees or
successors to these persons, may from time to time offer and sell, pursuant to
this prospectus and any subsequent prospectus supplement, any and all of these
shares or interests therein. Any supplement to this prospectus may contain
additional or varied information about the selling stockholder and/or additional
holders, and any of their transferors, pledgees, donees or successors, the names
of natural persons with voting or investment control over the shares covered
hereby, and the aggregate amount of the shares offered that is beneficially
owned by each person. This information will be obtained from the selling
stockholder and/or additional holders.

     As of May 10, 2005, 26,813,856 shares of our common stock were outstanding.
The 35,336,340 shares of our common stock registered for public resale pursuant
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and listed
under the column "Shares Offered by this Prospectus" include 17,343,800 shares
of our common stock issuable to the selling stockholder on conversion of shares
of our Series C convertible preferred stock and 10,611,100 shares of our common
stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our Series B-1
and Series C preferred stock and the subsequent conversion of shares issued
thereunder.

     Shares listed under the column "Shares Offered by this Prospectus"
represent the number of shares that may be sold by the selling stockholder
pursuant to this prospectus. Pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act of 1933,
the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part also covers any
additional shares of our common stock which become issuable in connection with
such shares because of any stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction
which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of our common
stock.

     The information under the heading "Shares Beneficially Owned After the
Offering" assumes the selling stockholder sells all of its shares covered hereby
to unaffiliated third parties, that the selling stockholder will acquire no
additional Crdentia Corp. common stock prior to the completion of this offering,
and that any other shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling
stockholder will continue to be beneficially owned. The selling stockholder may
dispose of all, part or none of its shares.

     For purposes of the table below, beneficial ownership is determined in
accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes voting and investment power
with respect to shares. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or
issuable upon conversion of convertible securities currently exercisable or
exercisable within 60 days from May 10, 2005 are deemed outstanding for
computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options, warrants
or convertible securities, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the
percentage of any other person.

     The selling stockholder identified below may have sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of all or a portion of its shares of common stock in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933 since the date on which it provided to us the information regarding its
shares of common stock.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The selling stockholder, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees,
transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or
interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus
from the selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or
other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any or all of its shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock
on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded
or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at
prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the
prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at
negotiated prices.

     The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods
when disposing of shares or interests therein:

      o     ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
            broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

      o     block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
            shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block
            as principal to facilitate the transaction;

      o     purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
            broker-dealer for its account;

      o     an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
            applicable exchange;

      o     privately negotiated transactions;

      o     short sales effected after the date the registration statement of
            which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

      o     through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging
            transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

      o     broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a
            specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

      o     a combination of any such methods of sale; and

      o     any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

     The selling stockholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security
interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by it and, if it
defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under
this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3)
or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling
stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest
as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholder also may
transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the
transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling
beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

     In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the
selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the
common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
stockholder may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common
stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling
stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative
securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial
institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

     The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholder from the sale of the
common stock offered by it will be the purchase price of the common stock less
discounts or commissions, if any. The selling stockholder reserves the right to
accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or
in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through


                                       19
<PAGE>

agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any
exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the
exercise price of the warrants.

     The selling stockholder also may resell all or a portion of the shares in
open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933, provided that it meets the criteria and conform to the requirements of
that rule.

     The selling stockholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that
participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any
discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the
shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11)
of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act.

     To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the
names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public
offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable
commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in
an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

     In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable,
the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may
not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption
from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied
with.

     We have advised the selling stockholder that the anti-manipulation rules of
Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market
and to the activities of the selling stockholder and its affiliates. In
addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or
amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholder for the purpose
of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The
selling stockholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

     We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws,
relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

    Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any person against expenses, judgments, fines and
settlements actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in connection
with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which he
is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such corporation, provided that (i) he acted in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. If
the action or suit is by or in the name of the corporation, the corporation may
indemnify such person against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be
made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent
that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the action or suit is
brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

    As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Company has adopted provisions in its restated certificate of incorporation and
amended and restated bylaws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of
its directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The
duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the Company,
directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material
information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages or
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

      o     any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
            stockholders;

      o     any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional
            misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

      o     any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other
            distributions or payment of dividends; or

      o     any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
            benefit.

    As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Company's amended and restated bylaws provide that:

      o     the Company may indemnify its directors, officers and employees to
            the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
            Law, subject to limited exceptions;

      o     the Company may advance expenses to its directors, officers and
            employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest
            extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to
            limited exceptions; and

      o     the rights provided in its amended and restated bylaws are not
            exclusive.

    We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors
and executive officers, as well as with certain employees and consultants. These
indemnification agreements provide that we hold harmless and indemnify each such
director, officer, employee and consultant to the fullest extent authorized or
permitted by law. In addition, subject to certain conditions, these
indemnification agreements provide for payment of expenses (including attorney's
fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed proceeding to which the indemnified director, officer or
employee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, by reason of the fact that he or she is, was or at any time becomes a
director, officer, employee or agent of us, or is or was serving or at any time
serves at the request of us as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise. In addition, we have purchased policies of directors' and officers'
liability insurance, which insure our directors and officers against the cost of
defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

       (A) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933;

       (B) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
    effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
    represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
    registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
    decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
    securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
    deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
    may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to
    Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
    no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
    forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
    registration statement;

       (C) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
    distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
    material change to such information in the registration statement.

    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

    (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

    (4) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (5) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person
to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security
holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished
pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information
required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the
prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the
prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically
incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial
information.

    (6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

         This Amendment to Letter Agreement (this "Amendment") is made effective
as of May 2, 2005 by and between Crdentia Corp., a Delaware corporation (the

shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock (the "Additional Financing").

         C. In connection with the Additional Financing, the Company and MedCap
desire to amend certain terms of the Letter Agreement.

         In consideration of the foregoing and the promises and covenants

and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), or (ii) the date that is two (2) calendar
weeks from the May 2, 2005 closing of the Financing (the "Closing"), file a
registration statement with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, covering the resale of all MedCap Shares (as defined below), and use
its reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by
the SEC within ninety (90) days of the Closing."

<PAGE>

the proceeds of the Additional Financing shall be distributed as set forth on
Schedule A attached hereto.

         4. Representation of the Company. The Company represents that it has
timely filed each statement, report and other filing required to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company between March 31, 2005 and
the date hereof (the "Company SEC Documents"). As of their respective filing
dates, the Company SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and none of the Company SEC Documents
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading,
except to the extent corrected by a subsequently filed Company SEC Document
prior to the date hereof.

         5. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly amended, restated or
consented to in this Amendment, the Letter Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Amendment and the Letter Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall govern and
control.

         6. Attorney Fees. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it will pay
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred by MedCap in connection with
the Additional Financing, including any such reasonable fees in connection with
MedCap's filing of a Schedule 13D related to the Additional Financing.

         7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed
under the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements among Delaware
residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware.

         8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         9. Severability. If one or more provisions of this Amendment are held
to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from
this Amendment and the balance of the Amendment shall be interpreted as if such
provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

         10. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, together with the Letter
Agreement and the agreements executed pursuant hereto and thereto, constitutes
the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard
to the subjects hereof and thereof.

                       OPINION OF MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP

June 1, 2005

Crdentia Corp.
14114 Dallas Parkway, Suite 600
Dallas, Texas 75254

Ladies and Gentlemen:

At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-2 of
Crdentia Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement"), relating to
the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of (i) up to
7,381,440 shares (the "Outstanding Shares") of the Company's common stock,
$0.0001 par value per share, (ii) up to 17,343,800 shares of common stock (the
"Conversion Shares") issuable upon conversion of shares of the Company's Series
C convertible preferred stock (the "Preferred Shares") and (iii) up to
10,611,100 shares of common stock (the "Warrant Shares") issuable upon exercise
of warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of the Company's Series B-1 and
Series C convertible preferred stock and the conversion of the shares issuable
upon conversion thereof. The Outstanding Shares, the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares may be sold to the public by the selling stockholder named in the
Registration Statement.

As counsel to the Company, we have examined the proceedings taken by the Company
in connection with the issuance by the Company of the Outstanding Shares and the
authorization for issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.

We are of the opinion that the Outstanding Shares have been duly authorized and
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and the Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants and the conversion of the shares
issuable upon conversion thereof in accordance with their respective terms, will
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to all references to us in the Registration
Statement, the prospectus constituting a part thereof and any supplements and
amendments thereto.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Morrison & Foerster LLP

         to the end of the 90 day notice period as long as the Company pays
         Employee all compensation to which Employee is entitled up through the

         11. Addition of Section 17 to Part Two. Part Two of the Employment
Agreement is hereby amended to add a Section 17 which shall read as follows:

                  A. Non-Competition. As an inducement for the Company's
         entering into this Agreement and in consideration of the Company's
         agreement to furnish Employee with certain confidential and proprietary
         information regarding the Company pursuant to Part Two, Section 13 of
         this Agreement, Employee covenants that commencing on the date hereof
         (the "Effective Date") and for a period ending eighteen (18) months
         following the termination of Employee's employment with the Company
         (the "Term"), the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, manage,
         engage in, operate or conduct, prepare to or plan to conduct or assist


                                        2
<PAGE>

         any person or entity to conduct any business, or have any controlling
         interest in any business, person, firm, corporation or other entity (as
         a principal, owner, agent, employee, shareholder, officer, director,
         joint venturer, partner, member, security holder, creditor, consultant
         or in any other capacity) whose revenue is generated principally from a
         business which is competitive with the Business anywhere in the United
         States (the "Territory"). As used herein, the term "Business" shall
         refer to the business of the company and its subsidiaries of operating
         a temporary nurse staffing company, including, without limitation, the
         provision of travel and per diem temporary nurse staffing services;
         provided, however, that the term "Business" shall not include the
         business of operating a temporary nurse staffing company which is
         directly reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid or any successor federal
         program, which such business and its operations shall not be considered
         competitive with the Business for the purpose of this Section 17. The
         covenants set forth in this Section 17 shall be construed as a series
         of separate covenants covering their subject matter in each of the
         separate states with the Territory, and except for geographic coverage,
         each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the
         covenant set forth above in this Section 17. To the extent that any
         such covenant shall be judicially unenforceable in any one or more
         states in the United States, such covenant shall not be affected with
         respect to each of such other states in the Territory. Each covenant
         with respect to such state in the Territory shall be construed as
         severable and independent."

         12. Addition of Section 18 to Part Two. Part Two of the Employment
Agreement is hereby amended to add a Section 18 which shall read as follows:

                  "18. Injunctive Relief and Termination.

                  A. General. Employee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
         covenants and restrictions contained in Part Two, Section 17 of this
         Agreement are necessary, fundamental and required for the protection of
         the Business, (ii) such covenants relate to matters which are of a
         special, unique and extraordinary character that gives each of such
         covenants a special, unique and extraordinary value; and (iii) the
         Company will suffer irreparable harm in the event that Employee
         breaches any of his obligations under Part Two, Section 17 hereof, and
         that monetary damages shall be inadequate to compensate the Company for
         any such breach. Employee agrees that in the event of any breach or
         threatened breach by Employee of any of the provisions of Part Two,
         Section 17 hereof, the Company shall be entitled to a temporary
         restraining order, preliminary injunction and/or permanent injunction
         in order to prevent or restrain any such breach or threatened breach by
         Employee, or by any or all of Employee's agents, representatives or
         other persons directly or indirectly acting for, on behalf of or with
         Employee, and the Company will not be obligated to post bond or other
         security in seeking such relief.

                  B. No Limitation of Remedies. Notwithstanding the provisions
         set forth in Section 18(A) above, or any other provision contained in
         this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that no remedy conferred by
         any of the specific provisions of this Agreement, including, without
         limitation, this Section 18, is intended to be exclusive of any other


                                        3
<PAGE>

         remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
         addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
         existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise."

         13. Addition of Section 19 to Part Two. Part Two of the Employment
Agreement is hereby amended to add a Section 19 which shall read as follows:

                  "19. Reasonableness of Restrictions. EMPLOYEE HAS CAREFULLY
         READ AND CONSIDERED THE PROVISIONS OF PART TWO, SECTION 17 HEREOF AND,
         HAVING DONE SO, HEREBY AGREES THAT THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SUCH
         SECTIONS ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE AND ARE REASONABLY REQUIRED FOR THE
         PROTECTION OF THE INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS ASSETS AND
         PROPERTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE BUSINESS. IF ANY
         COVENANT IN PART TWO, SECTION 17 IS HELD TO BE UNREASONABLE, ARBITRARY,
         OR AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY, SUCH COVENANT WILL BE CONSIDERED TO BE
         DIVISIBLE WITH RESPECT TO SCOPE, TIME, AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA, AND SUCH
         LESSER SCOPE, TIME, OR GEOGRAPHIC AREA, OR ALL OF THEM, AS A COURT OF
         COMPETENT JURISDICTION MAY DETERMINE TO BE REASONABLE, NOT ARBITRARY,
         AND NOT AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY, WILL BE EFFECTIVE, BINDING AND
         ENFORCEABLE AGAINST EMPLOYEE."

         14. Amendment and Restatement of Part Three, Section 4. Part Three,
Section 4 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:

                  "4. Miscellaneous. The provisions of this Agreement will be
         construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Texas. This
         Agreement incorporates the entire Agreement between Employee and the
         Company relating to the terms of his employment and the subject of
         severance benefits and supersedes all prior agreements and
         understandings with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement may
         only be amended by written instrument signed by Employee and an
         authorized officer of the Company."

         15. Amendment and Restatement of Part Three, Section 5. Part Three,
Section 5 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:

                  "5. Arbitration. Any controversy which may arise between
         Employee and the Company with respect to the construction,
         interpretation or application of any of the terms, provisions,
         covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any claim arising from or
         relating to this Agreement will be submitted to final and binding
         arbitration in Dallas, Texas in accordance with the rules of the
         American Arbitration Association then in effect. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, either party may, at its option, seek injunctive relief in a
         court of competent jurisdiction for any claim or controversy arising
         out of or related to the unauthorized use, disclosure, or
         misappropriation of the confidential and/or proprietary information of


                                        4
<PAGE>

         the other party or other breach of the nonsolicitation,
         nondisparagement, or noncompetition provisions set forth in Part Two,
         Sections 12, 13, 14 and 17 above."
