On June 20, 2008, Securus Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Mr. William Markert to appoint him as Chief Financial Officer, effective on June 30, 2008. As a result, Mr. Keith Kelson will cease to be the Company’s Chief Financial Officer on June 30, 2008. The Company expects Mr. Kelson to serve as an advisor to the Company through July 31, 2008.

From December, 1999 to November, 2007, Mr. Markert, age 43, held executive level finance positions at Eschelon Telecom, Inc., a publicly traded local exchange carrier, with his most recent position being Executive Vice President of Network Finance. During Mr. Markert’s employment with Eschelon, he was responsible for revenue and cost accounting and reporting, network cost management, carrier access billing and revenue and margin assurance. He also directed various merger and acquisition related projects. Prior to joining Eschelon, Mr. Markert worked for Global Crossing Limited, a publicly traded communications solutions company, in various financial, regulatory and operational management roles. Mr. Markert holds a Baccalaureate in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and a Masters in Business Administration from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Mr. Markert’s employment agreement extends through July 1, 2012 and provides that Mr. Markert will receive (i) a minimum base salary of $215,000 per year; (ii) the potential to earn an annual bonus of up to $107,000, which is earned upon achievement of objectives determined by the Company’s Board of Directors for each year; (iii) eligibility to receive restricted shares of the Company’s Class B common stock; and (iv) other benefits, such as life and health insurance, paid vacation, and reimbursement of business expenses, including up to $20,000 for moving his family to Dallas, Texas. Additionally, Mr. Markert is eligible to receive a one-time bonus of $75,000 if he sells his primary residence on or before December 31, 2008. The forgoing description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Mr. Markert’s employment agreement and restricted stock agreement, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2.
