PIZZA INN, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (1) The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pizza Inn, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2000. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. All adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. (2) The Company entered into an agreement effective March 31, 2000 with its current lender to extend the term of its existing $9.5 million revolving credit line through March 2002 and to modify certain financial covenants. In addition, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 term note with monthly principal payments of $104,000 maturing on March 31, 2004. Interest on the term loan is payable monthly. Interest is provided for at a rate equal to prime less an interest rate margin of .75%, or, at the Company's option, to the Eurodollar rate plus 1.5%. The Company entered into an amendment to this agreement, effective December 28, 2000, modifying certain financial covenants, as a result of a new construction loan as noted below. The Company has used approximately $2.0 million of its credit line to fund costs of the new building project, including the land acquisition and certain development costs incurred to date. The Company entered into an agreement effective December 28, 2000 with its current lender to provide up to $8.125 million of financing for the construction of the Company's new headquarters, training center and distribution facility. The construction loan will convert to a term loan upon completion of the construction phase and the then unpaid principal balance will mature on December 28, 2007. The term loan will amortize over a term of twenty years, with principal and interest payments due monthly. Interest is provided for at a rate equal to prime less an interest rate margin of .50% prior to loan conversion and .75% following loan conversion, or, at the Company's option, to the Eurodollar rate plus 1.5%. The Company has the obligation after the conversion date to cause the outstanding principal amount to be subject to a fixed interest rate. (3) In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101, which provides the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements, must be adopted by the Company in its fiscal fourth quarter. Based on preliminary analysis, the Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. (4) The following table shows the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS calculation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS calculation (in thousands, except per share amounts).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ----------------------- Quarter and six months ended December 24, 2000 compared to the quarter and six months ended December 26, 1999. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of the current fiscal year were $0.05 versus $0.06 for the same period last year. For the six months ended December 24, 2000, diluted earnings per share decreased 16% to $0.11 from $0.13 for the same period last year. Net income for the quarter decreased 29% to $529,000 from $745,000 for the same quarter last year. For the six months ended December 24, 2000, net income decreased 21% to $1,175,000 from $1,493,000 compared to the same period last year. Food and supply sales for the quarter decreased 6% to $13,502,000 from $14,292,000 compared to the same period last year. For the six month period, food and supply sales decreased 5% to $28,230,000 from $29,621,000 for the same period last year. This decrease is the result of lower chainwide sales and lower cheese prices in the first two quarters of this year. Franchise revenue, which includes income from royalties, license fees and area development and foreign master license (collectively, "Territory") sales, decreased 4% or $61,000 for the quarter and 4% or $129,000 for the six month period, compared to the same periods last year. These decreases are primarily the result of lower royalties due to lower chainwide sales in the first and second quarters of the current year. Restaurant sales, which consists of revenue generated by Company-owned training stores remained consistent for the quarter compared to the same period of the prior year. For the six month period, restaurant sales decreased 1% or $7,000. Cost of sales decreased 8% or $1,104,000 for the quarter and decreased 6% or $1,763,000 for the six month period. This decrease is due to lower chainwide sales and lower cheese prices in the current year. These lower costs are partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization costs, and higher transportation costs in the current year. As a percentage of sales for the quarter, cost of sales decreased to 90% from 93% compared to the same period of the prior year. For the six months, cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 92% to 91%. Franchise expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses directly related to the sale and continuing service of franchises and Territories. These costs increased 113% or $317,000 for the quarter and 30% or $274,000 for the six month period compared to the same periods last year. This increase was primarily due to lower marketing materials expense in the prior year and lower compensation expense relating to franchise sales in the prior year. General and administrative expenses increased 25% or $234,000 for the quarter and increased 19% or $346,000 for the first six months, compared to the same periods last year. This is a result of higher bad debt expense, increased insurance costs, and programming costs that were capitalized as software development costs in the prior year. Salaries and wages increased 2% and 3% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Interest expense increased 39% or $69,000 for the quarter and 58% or $185,000 for the first six months, compared to the same period of the prior year. This is a result of higher average debt and higher average interest rates. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the first six months of fiscal 2001 the Company utilized cash provided by operations in the amount of $2,893,000, net bank borrowings of $710,000, and a portion of its cash balance to purchase 173,707 shares of its own common stock for $575,000 and to pay dividends of $1,243,000 on the Company's common stock. Capital expenditures of $2,067,000 during the first six months included the land acquisition for the new Corporate headquarters, vehicle upgrades, and computer equipment and system upgrades. The Company continues to realize substantial benefit from the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards (which currently total $6.6 million and expire in 2005) to reduce its federal tax liability from the 34% tax rate reflected on its statement of operations to an actual payment of approximately 2% of taxable income. Management believes that future operations will generate sufficient taxable income, along with the reversal of temporary differences, to fully realize its net deferred tax asset balance ($3.9 million as of December 24, 2000) without reliance on material, non-routine income. Taxable income in future years at the current level would be sufficient for full realization of the net tax asset. The Company entered into an agreement effective March 31, 2000 with its current lender to extend the term of its existing $9.5 million revolving credit line through March 2002 and to modify certain financial covenants. In addition, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 term note with monthly principal payments of $104,000 maturing on March 31, 2004. Interest on the term loan is payable monthly. Interest is provided for at a rate equal to prime less an interest rate margin of .75%, or, at the Company's option, to the Eurodollar rate plus 1.5%.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and ------------- enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, except to the extent preempted by federal laws. Borrower and all persons and entities in any manner obligated to Lender under the Loan Documents consent to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court within the State of Texas having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by Texas or federal law. 12.24 INTEREST PROVISIONS. -------------------- (a) Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent --------------- of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Note or the Related Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged or received by reason of Lender's exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower's and Lender's express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate ---------- theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if the Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of the Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against the Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. (b) Definitions. As used herein, the term "Maximum Lawful Rate" shall mean ----------- ------------------- the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as herein defined) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by the Note and the other Loan Documents. As used herein, the term "Charges" shall mean all ------- fees, charges and/or any other things of value, if any, contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Lender in connection with the transactions relating to the Note and the other Loan Documents, which are treated as interest under applicable law. As used herein, the term "Related Indebtedness" shall -------------------- mean any and all debt paid or payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, except such debt which has been paid or is payable by Borrower to Lender under the Note. (c) Ceiling Election. To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 ----------------- of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. 12.25 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. The liability of all persons and ------------------------------ entities obligated in any manner under this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents shall be joint and several. 12.26 COUNTERPARTS. To facilitate execution, this instrument may be ------------ executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this instrument to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages. 12.27 INTEGRATION; INTERPRETATION. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN ---------------------------- DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS INSTRUMENT MAY BE AMENDED ONLY BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING EXECUTED BY THE PARTIES HERETO. ANY REFERENCE IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS TO THE PROPERTY OR IMPROVEMENTS SHALL INCLUDE ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY OR IMPROVEMENTS. ANY REFERENCE TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS INCLUDES ANY AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS OR EXTENSIONS NOW OR HEREAFTER APPROVED BY LENDER IN WRITING. 12.28 ARBITRATION. ----------- (a) ARBITRATION. Upon the demand of any party, any dispute shall be ----------- resolved by binding arbitration (except as set forth in Paragraph 12.28(e) below) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A "Dispute" shall mean any action, dispute, claim or controversy of any kind, whether in contract or tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter arising under or in connection with, or in any way pertaining to, this Agreement and each other document, contract and instrument required hereby or now or hereafter delivered to Lender in connection herewith, or any past, present or future extensions of credit and other activities, transactions or obligations of any kind related directly or indirectly to any of the foregoing documents, including without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in connection with the exercise of any self-help, ancillary or other remedies pursuant to any of the foregoing documents. Any party may by summary proceedings bring an action in court to compel arbitration of a Dispute. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a lawful demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any Dispute. (b) GOVERNING RULES. Arbitration proceedings shall be administered by the ---------------- American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. All Disputes submitted to arbitration shall be resolved in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the foregoing documents. The arbitration shall be conducted in Dallas, Texas. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and any such rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. All statutes of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall apply to any arbitration proceeding. All discovery activities shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the Dispute being arbitrated. Judgment upon any award rendered in an arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction; provided however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under Section 91 of Title 12 of the United States Code or any similar applicable state law. (c) NO WAIVER; PROVISIONAL REMEDIES, SELF-HELP AND FORECLOSURE. No ---------------------------------------------------------------- provision hereof shall limit the right of any party to exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal property collateral or security, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies, including without limitation, injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment, garnishment or the appointment of a receiver from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of any such remedy shall not waive the right of any party to compel arbitration hereunder. (d) ARBITRATOR QUALIFICATIONS AND POWERS; AWARDS. Arbitrators must be ------------------------------------------------ active members of the Texas State Bar with expertise in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute. Arbitrators are empowered to resolve Disputes by summary rulings in response to motions filed prior to the final arbitration hearing. Arbitrators (i) shall resolve all Disputes in accordance with the substantive law of the State of Texas, (ii) may grant any remedy or relief that a court of the State of Texas could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award, and (iii) shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other actions as they deem necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000 or less shall be decided by a single arbitrator who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000 (including damages, costs, fees and expenses). By submission to a single arbitrator, each party expressly waives any right or claim to recover more than $5,000,000. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. (e) JUDICIAL REVIEW. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in ---------------- any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such arbitrations (i) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the parties unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous under the substantive law of the State of Texas, and (iii) the parties shall have in addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award the right to judicial review of (1) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (2) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under the substantive law of the State of Texas. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the award is supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error under the substantive law of the State of Texas. (f) MISCELLANEOUS. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the ------------- arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or regulation, or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the foregoing documents or the subject matter of the Dispute shall control. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or any remaining provisions of this Agreement. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the foregoing documents or any relationship between the parties. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Lender have executed this Agreement as of the date appearing on the first page of this Agreement.

$8,125,000.00     Dallas,  Texas
                                                               December 28, 2000
FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  the  undersigned  PIZZA INN, INC., a Missouri corporation
("Borrower"), promise(s) to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK TEXAS, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION ("Lender"), at the Disbursement and Operations Center in El Segundo,
California,  or  at  such other place as may be designated in writing by Lender,
the  principal  sum  of  EIGHT  MILLION  ONE  HUNDRED  TWENTY-FIVE  THOUSAND AND
NO/100THS DOLLARS ($8,125,000.00) or so much thereof as may from time to time be
owing hereunder by reason of advances by Lender to or for the benefit or account
of Borrower, with interest thereon, per annum, at the Applicable Rate calculated
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Fixed Rate Agreement attached
hereto  as  Exhibit  A  and  a Fixed Rate Notice described on Exhibit B attached
            ----------                                        ---------
hereto  (based  on  a  360-day  year  and  charged  on  the basis of actual days
elapsed).  All  sums  owing  hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United
States  of  America,  in  immediately  available  funds.
All  terms  used  herein with initial capital letters and not defined shall have
the meanings specified in the Fixed Rate Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.
                                                                      ---------
Accrued  and  unpaid interest on this Note ("Note") shall be payable as follows:
(i)     in  the case of all advances subject to the Prime Rate Advances, on each
Monthly  Payment  Date;
(ii)     in  the case of Eurodollar Advances of this Note on the last day of the
Interest  Period  applicable  thereto  and,  with respect to any Interest Period
exceeding  three  (3) months, on the last day of the third (3rd) month after the
commencement  of  such  Interest  Period;  and
(iii)     on  the  Maturity  Date.
If  the  Loan  Conversion occurs, the outstanding principal balance of this Note
shall  be payable in monthly installments on each Monthly Payment Date occurring
after  the  effective  date  of  the  Loan Conversion in an amount sufficient to
amortize  the  then  unpaid  principal  at  the  Applicable Rate  hereunder on a
straight  line  basis  over  an  amortization  term  of  twenty  (20)  years.
The  outstanding  principal  balance of this Note, together with all accrued and
unpaid  interest,  shall  be  due  and  payable  in  full  on the Maturity Date.
This  Note  is secured by, among other things, that certain Construction Deed of
Trust  with  Absolute  Assignment  of  Leases  and Rents, Security Agreement and
Fixture  Filing  ("Deed  of  Trust")  dated  of  even date herewith, executed by
Borrower,  as  grantor,  to  a  trustee  for  the  benefit  of  Lender.
In order to assure timely payment to Lender of accrued interest, principal, fees
and  late  charges due and owing under the loan evidenced by this Note, Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to directly debit Borrower's demand deposit
account  with Lender for payment when due of all such amounts payable to Lender.
Borrower  represents  and warrants to Lender that Borrower is the legal owner of
said  account. Written confirmation of the amount and purpose of any such direct
debit  shall be given to Borrower by Lender not less frequently than monthly. In
the  event  any  direct  debit  hereunder  is  returned  for insufficient funds,
Borrower  shall  pay  Lender  upon  demand,  in immediately available funds, all
amounts  and  expenses  due  and  owing  to  Lender.
If  a Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) occurs, THEN Lender may, at its
                                                         ----
sole option, declare all sums owing under this Note immediately due and payable;
provided,  however,  that  if  any of the Loan Documents or the Master Agreement
- --------   -------
provide  for automatic acceleration of payment of sums owing hereunder, all sums
- ---
owing  hereunder  shall  be automatically due and payable in accordance with the
terms  of  that  document.
If  any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this
Note  or the Loan Documents, or as a consequence of any Default, with or without
the  filing of any legal action or proceeding, then Borrower shall pay to Lender
immediately upon demand all reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs incurred by
Lender  in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of
such  demand  until  paid  at  the  rate of interest applicable to the principal
balance  owing  hereunder  as  if such unpaid attorneys' fees and costs had been
added  to  the  principal.
No  previous  waiver and no failure or delay by Lender in acting with respect to
the  terms  of  this Note or the Loan Documents shall constitute a waiver of any
breach,  default, or failure of condition under this Note or the Loan Documents.
A  waiver of any term of this Note or the Loan Documents must be made in writing
and  shall be limited to the express written terms of such waiver.  In the event
of any inconsistencies between the terms of this Note and the terms of any other
Loan  Documents,  the  terms  of  this  Note  shall  prevail.
If  this  Note  is  executed  by more than one person or entity as Borrower, the
obligations of each such person or entity shall be joint and several.  No person
or  entity  shall be a mere accommodation maker, but each shall be primarily and
directly  liable  hereunder.  If Borrower is a partnership, each general partner
of  Borrower  shall  be  jointly  and  severally liable hereunder, and each such
general  partner  hereby  waives  any  requirement of law that in the event of a
default  hereunder  Lender  exhaust  any  assets  of Borrower before proceedings
against such general partner's assets.  Except as otherwise provided in any Loan
Document,  Borrower,  and  any endorsers and guarantors hereof, severally waive:
presentment;  demand;  notice  of  dishonor;  notice  of default or delinquency;
notice of intention to accelerate; notice of acceleration; notice of protest and
nonpayment;  notice of costs, expenses or losses and interest thereon; notice of
late charges; and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under
this  Note  or  in  proceeding  against  any of the rights or interests in or to
properties  securing  payment  of  this  Note.  Borrower,  and  any endorsers or
guarantors  hereof,  agree  that  the  time  for  any  payments hereunder may be
extended  from  time  to  time  without notice and consent, to the acceptance of
further  collateral,  and/or  the  release  of  any  existing collateral for the
payment  of this Note, all without in any manner affecting their liability under
or with respect to this Note.  No extension of time for the payment of this Note
or any installment hereof shall affect the liability of Borrower under this Note
or  any  endorser  or  guarantor hereof even though Borrower or such endorser or
guarantor  is  not  a  party  to  such  agreement.
Time  is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof.  This Note shall
be  construed  and  enforced  in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas,
except  to  the extent that federal laws preempt the laws of the State of Texas,
and  all persons and entities in any manner obligated under this Note consent to
the  jurisdiction of any federal or state court within the State of Texas having
proper  venue  and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by
Texas  or  federal  law.  This  Note  is  performable  in  Dallas County, Texas.
It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at
all  times  to  comply  with  applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or
amount  of  interest  payable  on this Note or the indebtedness ("Indebtedness")
evidenced  hereby  or  evidenced  or  secured  by  the  other Loan Documents (or
applicable  United  States  Federal  law to the extent that it permits Lender to
contract  for,  charge,  take,  reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest
than  under  Texas law) and that this section shall control every other covenant
and  agreement  in  this  Note.  If  the  applicable  law  is  ever  judicially
interpreted  so  as  to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or
under  any  of  the  other  Loan  Documents,  or contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved  or  received with respect to the Indebtedness, or Lender's exercise of
the  option  to  accelerate  the  maturity  of  this  Note, or any prepayment by
Borrower  results in Borrower having paid or Lender having received any interest
in  excess  of  that  permitted  by  applicable  law,  then it is Borrower's and
Lender's  express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender
shall  be  credited  on  the  principal  balance  of  this  Note  and  all other
Indebtedness  (or,  if  this  Note and all other Indebtedness have been or would
thereby  be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note
and  the  other  Loan  Documents  immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts
thereafter  collectible  hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity
of  the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law,
but  so  as  to  permit  the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for
hereunder  or  thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full
before  the  end of the stated term of this Note, then Borrower and Lender agree
that  Lender  shall,  with  reasonable  promptness  after Lender discovers or is
advised  by  Borrower  that  interest was received in an amount in excess of the
Maximum  Lawful  Rate,  either refund such excess interest to Borrower or credit
such  excess  interest  against any other Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to
Lender.  Borrower  hereby  agrees  that  as  a  condition precedent to any claim
seeking  usury  penalties  against  Lender,  that  Borrower will provide written
notice  to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount
of  the  violation,  and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such
notice  in  which  to  correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding
such  excess  interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against any
other  indebtedness  then owing by Borrower to Lender.  All sums contracted for,
charged  or  received  by  Lender  for  the use, forbearance or detention of the
Indebtedness  shall,  to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or
spread,  using  the  actuarial  method,  throughout  the  stated  term  of  the
Indebtedness  until  payment  in  full so that the rate or amount of interest on
account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to
time  in  effect  and  applicable  to  the  Indebtedness  for  so  long  as  the
Indebtedness is outstanding.  In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of
the  Texas  Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts
and  revolving  triparty  accounts)  apply to the Indebtedness.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents,
it  is  not  the  intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest
that  has  not  accrued  at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned
interest  at  the  time  of  such  acceleration.
As  used  herein,  the  term "Maximum Lawful Rate" shall mean the maximum lawful
rate  of  interest  which  may  be  contracted  for, charged, taken, received or
reserved  by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas
(or applicable United States Federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to
contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than
under  Texas  law),  taking into account all Charges (as herein defined) made in
connection  with  the  transaction  evidenced  by  this  Note and the other Loan
Documents.  As  used herein, the term "Charges" shall mean all fees and charges,
if  any,  contracted  for,  charged,  received,  taken  or reserved by Lender in
connection  with  the  transactions  relating  to  this  Note and the other Loan
Documents  or  the  Indebtedness, which are treated as interest under applicable
law.  To  the  extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance
Code,  as  amended,  to  determine  the  Maximum  Lawful  Rate  payable  on  the
Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect
as  provided  in  Chapter  303, as amended.  To the extent United States Federal
law  permits  Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater
amount  of  interest  than  under  Texas  law, Lender will rely on United States
Federal  law  instead  of  such  Chapter  303,  as  amended,  for the purpose of
determining  the  Maximum Lawful Rate.  Additionally, to the extent permitted by
applicable  law  now  or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from
time  to  time,  implement any other method of computing the Maximum Lawful Rate
under  such  Chapter  303,  as  amended, or under other applicable law by giving
notice,  if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter
in effect.  Borrower and Lender hereby agree that any and all suits alleging the
contracting  for, charging or receiving of usurious interest shall lie in Dallas
County,  Texas,  and  each  irrevocably  waive  the  right to venue in any other
county.
Notwithstanding  anything  in  this  Note  to  the  contrary, if at any time (i)
interest  at  the  Applicable  Rate, and (ii) the Charges computed over the full
term  of  this  Note,  exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, then the rate of interest
payable  hereunder,  together  with all Charges, shall be limited to the Maximum
Lawful  Rate; provided, however, that any subsequent reduction in the Applicable
              --------  -------
Rate shall not cause a reduction of the rate of interest payable hereunder below
the  Maximum  Lawful  Rate  until the total amount of interest earned hereunder,
together  with all Charges, equals the total amount of interest which would have
accrued  at  the  Applicable Rate if such interest rate had at all times been in
effect.  Changes  in  the  Applicable  Rate resulting from a change in the Prime
Rate  shall  be  subject  to  the  provisions  of  this  paragraph.
All  notices  or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant
to  this Note shall be given to the Borrower or Lender at the address and in the
manner  provided  for  in  the  Loan  Agreement.
THIS NOTE AND ALL THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF
BORROWER  AND  LENDER  AND  SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS,
REPRESENTATIONS  AND  UNDERSTANDINGS,  WHETHER  WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT  MATTER  HEREOF  AND  THEREOF  AND  MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY
EVIDENCE  OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS
OF  BORROWER  AND  LENDER.  THERE  ARE  NO  ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN BORROWER AND
LENDER.  The provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents may be amended
or  revised  only by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and Lender.

setoff,  foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal property collateral
or  security,  or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies, including without
limitation,  injunctive  relief,  sequestration,  attachment, garnishment or the
appointment  of  a receiver from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after
or  during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding.  The exercise of
any  such  remedy  shall  not waive the right of any party to compel arbitration
hereunder.
4.     ARBITRATOR  QUALIFICATIONS AND POWERS; AWARDS. Arbitrators must be active
       ---------------------------------------------
members of the Texas State Bar, with expertise in the substantive law applicable
to  the  subject  matter  of  the Dispute.  Arbitrators are empowered to resolve
Disputes  by  summary  rulings  in  response to motions filed prior to the final
arbitration  hearing.  Arbitrators  (i) shall resolve all Disputes in accordance
with  the  substantive  law  of the State of Texas, (ii) may grant any remedy or
relief  that a court of the State of Texas could order or grant within the scope
hereof  and  such  ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award,
and  (iii)  shall  have  the  power  to award recovery of all costs and fees, to
impose  sanctions  and  to take such other actions as they deem necessary to the
same  extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the
Texas  Rules  of  Civil Procedure or other applicable law.  Any Dispute in which
the  amount  in  controversy  is $5,000,000 or less shall be decided by a single
arbitrator  who  shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000 (including
damages,  costs,  fees and expenses). By submission to a single arbitrator, each
party  expressly waives any right or claim to recover more than $5,000,000.  Any
Dispute  in  which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000 shall be decided
by  majority  vote  of  a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all
three  arbitrators  must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations.
5.     JUDICIAL REVIEW.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any
       ---------------
arbitration  in  which  the  amount  in  controversy  exceeds  $25,000,000,  the
arbitrators  shall  be  required  to make specific, written findings of fact and
conclusions of law.  In such arbitrations (i) the arbitrators shall not have the
power  to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which
is  based  on  legal  error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the parties
unless  the  findings  of  fact  are  supported  by substantial evidence and the
conclusions  of  law are not erroneous under the substantive law of the State of
Texas,  and  (iii) the parties shall have in addition to the grounds referred to
in  the  Federal  Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award
the right to judicial review of (1) whether the findings of fact rendered by the
arbitrators  are  supported  by  substantial  evidence,  and  (2)  whether  the
conclusions  of  law  are  erroneous  under  the substantive law of the State of
Texas.  Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if
a  court determines the award is supported by substantial evidence and not based
on  legal  error  under  the  substantive  law  of  the  State  of  Texas.
6.     MISCELLANEOUS.  To  the  maximum  extent  practicable,  the  AAA,  the
       -------------
arbitrators  and  the  parties  shall  take  all action required to conclude any
       --
arbitration  proceeding  within  180  days of the filing of the Dispute with the
AAA.  No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the
existence,  content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by
a  party  required  in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or
regulation,  or  to  the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights
set  forth  herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the
parties  potentially  applies  to  a  Dispute,  the  arbitration  provision most
directly  related  to  the  Loan  Documents or the subject matter of the Dispute
shall  control.  If any provision of this Note shall be held to be prohibited by
or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent  of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such  provision  or  any  remaining  provisions  of this Note.  This arbitration
provision  shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan
Documents  or  any  relationship  between  the  parties.
                                                                       EXHIBIT A

outstanding  principal  balance  of this Note shall be the lesser of the Default
Rate  or  the  Maximum  Lawful  Rate.
3.     CONVERSIONS  AND  CONTINUATIONS.  The  Borrower shall have the right from
       -------------------------------
time  to  time  to Convert all (but not less than all) of an Advance of one Type
into an Advance of another Type or to Continue Eurodollar Advances as Eurodollar
Advances  by  giving  the  Lender  written  notice at least one (1) Business Day
before Conversion into a Prime Rate Advance and at least three (3) Business Days

the  Conversion  or  Continuation  date,  (b)  the  amount  of the Advance to be
Converted  or  Continued, (c) in the case of Conversions, the Type of Advance to
be Converted into, and (d) in the case of a Continuation of or Conversion into a

Conversions  shall  be  made while a Default has occurred and is continuing, and

time.  All notices by the Borrower under this paragraph shall be irrevocable and
shall be given to the Lender not later than 10:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time on the
day  which is not less than the number of Business Days specified above for such
notice.  If  the  Borrower shall fail to give the Lender the notice as specified
above for Continuation or Conversion of a Eurodollar Advance prior to the end of
the  Interest  Period  with  respect  thereto,  such Eurodollar Advance shall be
Converted  automatically  into  a Prime Rate Advance on the last day of the then
current  Interest  Period  for  such  Eurodollar  Advance.
4.     ADDITIONAL  COSTS.
       -----------------
(a)     The  Borrower  shall  pay  directly to the Lender from time to time such
amounts  as  the  Lender  may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any
costs  incurred  by  the  Lender  which  the  Lender  reasonably  determines are
attributable  to  its making or maintaining of any Eurodollar Advances hereunder
or  its  obligation  to make any of such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in
any amount receivable by the Lender hereunder in respect of any such Advances or
     such  obligation  (such  increases  in  costs  and  reductions  in  amounts
receivable  being  herein  called  "Additional  Costs"),  resulting  from  any
                                    -----------------
Regulatory  Change  which:
(i)     changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the Lender under
     this  Note  in respect of any of such Advances (other than taxes imposed on
the overall net income of the Lender or its Applicable Lending Office for any of
such  Advances  by the jurisdiction in which the Lender has its principal office
or  such  Applicable  Lending  Office);
(ii)     imposes  or  modifies  any  reserve,  special deposit, minimum capital,
capital  ratio,  or  similar requirement relating to any extensions of credit or
other  assets  of,  or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of,
the  Lender  (including  any of such Advances or any deposits referred to in the
definition  of  "Eurodollar  Rate");
(iii)     imposes  any  other  condition  affecting  this  Note  or  any of such
extensions  of  credit  or  liabilities  or  commitments.
Lender  will  notify  the  Borrower of any event occurring after the date hereof
which  will  entitle  the  Lender  to compensation pursuant to this paragraph as
promptly  as  practicable  after  it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to
request  such  compensation  (provided  that  any  claim  by  the  Lender  for
compensation  pursuant  to  this paragraph shall be made within ninety (90) days
after  the  initial occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim), and will
designate  a  different  Applicable  Lending Office for the Advances affected by
such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
such  compensation  and will not, in the sole opinion of the Lender, violate any
law,  rule,  or  regulation  or  be  in  any  way disadvantageous to the Lender,
provided  that the Lender shall have no obligation to so designate an Applicable
Lending Office located in the United States of America.  Lender will furnish the
Borrower  with  a  certificate  setting  forth  the basis and the amount of each
request  of  the  Lender  for  compensation under this paragraph.  If the Lender
requests  compensation from the Borrower under this paragraph, the Borrower may,
by notice to the Lender suspend the obligation of the Lender to make or Continue
making,  or  Convert  Advances  into, Advances of the Type with respect to which
such  compensation  is requested until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such
request  ceases  to  be  in  effect (in which case the provisions of paragraph 7
below  shall  be  applicable).
(b)     Without  limiting  the  effect  of  the  foregoing  provisions  of  this
paragraph  4,  in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, the Lender
either  (i)  incurs  Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a
specified  level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of
the  Lender  which  includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
Eurodollar  Advances  is  determined  as  provided in this Note or a category of
extensions  of  credit  or  other assets of the Lender which includes Eurodollar
Advances  or  (ii)  becomes  subject  to  restrictions  on  the amount of such a
category  of  liabilities  or  assets  which it may hold, then, if the Lender so
elects  by  notice  to  the  Borrower,  the  obligation of the Lender to make or
Continue making, or Convert Advances into, Advances of such Type hereunder shall
     be  suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which
case  the  provisions  of  paragraph  7  below  shall  be  applicable).
(c)     Determinations  and  allocations  by  the  Lender  for  purposes of this
paragraph  4  of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining
its  obligations  to  make  Advances  or of making or maintaining Advances or on
amounts  receivable  by it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts
required  to  compensate the Lender in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be
conclusive,  provided  that such determinations and allocations are made in good
faith  and  on  a  reasonable  basis  and  without  duplication  of  the Reserve
Requirement.
5.     LIMITATION  ON  TYPES  OF  ADVANCES.  Anything  herein  to  the  contrary
       -----------------------------------
notwithstanding,  if  with  respect  to any Eurodollar Advances for any Interest
Period  therefor, the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive
if  made  in  good  faith)  that  quotations  of interest rates for the relevant
deposits  referred  to  in  the  definition  of  "Eurodollar Rate" are not being
provided  in the relative amounts or for the relative maturities for purposes of
determining  the  rate  of  interest for such Advances as provided in this Note,
then  the  Lender  shall  give the Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying the
relevant  amounts  or  periods, and so long as such condition remains in effect,
the  Lender  shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Advances
or  to  Convert  Prime  Rate  Advances into Eurodollar Advances and the Borrower
shall,  on  the  last  day(s)  of  the  then  current Interest Period(s) for the
outstanding  Eurodollar  Advances,  either  prepay  such  Eurodollar Advances or
Convert such Eurodollar Advances into Prime Rate Advances in accordance with the
terms  of  this  Note.  The  Lender  shall be deemed to have acted in good faith
under  this  paragraph if the Lender is giving notice to its customers generally
of  the  occurrence  of  either  of  the conditions specified in this paragraph.
6.     ILLEGALITY.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of this Note, in the
       ----------
event  that  it becomes unlawful for the Lender or its Applicable Lending Office
to  (a)  honor  its  obligation  to  make  Eurodollar  Advances hereunder or (b)
maintain  Eurodollar  Advances  hereunder, then the Lender shall promptly notify
the  Borrower thereof and the Lender's obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar
Advances  and  to Convert Prime Rate Advances into Eurodollar Advances hereunder
shall  be  suspended  until  such time as the Lender may again make and maintain
Eurodollar  Advances (in which case the provisions of paragraph 7 below shall be
applicable).
7.     TREATMENT OF AFFECTED ADVANCES.  If the Eurodollar Advances of the Lender
       ------------------------------
(such  Eurodollar  Advances being hereinafter called "Affected Advances") are to
                                                      -----------------
be  Converted  pursuant  to  paragraphs  4  or  6  hereof, the Lender's Affected
Advances  shall  be automatically Converted into Prime Rate Advances on the last
day(s)  of the then current Interest Period(s) for the Affected Advances (or, in
the  case of a Conversion required by paragraphs 4 or  6 hereof, on such earlier
date  as  the  Lender  may  specify  to the Borrower), and, unless and until the
Lender  gives  notice  as  provided  below  that  the circumstances specified in
paragraphs  4  or  6  hereof which gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a)     To  the  extent  that  the  Lender's  Affected  Advances  have  been  so
Converted,  all  payments  and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be
applied  to the Lender's Affected Advances shall be applied instead to its Prime
Rate  Advances;  and
(b)     All Advances which would otherwise be made or Continued by the Lender as
Eurodollar  Advances  shall be made as or Converted into Prime Rate Advances and
all  Advances  of  the Lender which would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar
Advances  shall  remain  as  Prime  Rate  Advances.
8.     COMPENSATION.  The  Borrower shall pay to the Lender, upon the request of
       ------------
the  Lender,  which  request  shall be made within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the occurrence of any event specified in subsection (a) or (b) below, such
                                               --------------    ---
amount  or  amounts  as  shall  be  sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the
Lender)  to  compensate  it  for  any loss, cost, or expense incurred by it as a
result  of:
(a)     Any  payment,  prepayment  or Conversion of a Eurodollar Advance for any
reason  on  a  date  other  than  the  last  day  of an Interest Period for such
Eurodollar  Advance;  or
(b)     Any failure by the Borrower for any reason to borrow, Convert, or prepay
a  Eurodollar Advance on the date for such borrowing, Conversion, or prepayment,
specified  in  the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, or Conversion under
this  Agreement.
Without  limiting  the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall
include  an  amount  equal  to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which  otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid or Converted
or  not  borrowed  for  the period from the date of such payment, Conversion, or
failure  to  borrow  to  the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar
Advance  (or,  in  the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such
Eurodollar  Advance  which  would  have commenced on the date specified for such
borrowing)  at  the  applicable  rate  of  interest  for such Eurodollar Advance
provided  for  herein minus (ii) the interest component of the amount the Lender
would  have  bid  in  the  London  interbank  market.
9.     CAPITAL  ADEQUACY.  If,  after  the  date  hereof,  the Lender shall have
       -----------------
determined  in  good faith that the adoption or implementation of any applicable
law,  rule,  or  regulation  regarding  capital  adequacy  (including,  without
limitation,  any law, rule, or regulation implementing the Basle Accord), or any
change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation
or  administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender (or its parent) with any
guideline,  request,  or  directive  regarding  capital adequacy (whether or not
having  the  force  of  law) of any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(including,  without limitation, any guideline or other requirement implementing
the  Basle  Accord), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on  the  Lender's  (or its parent's) capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder  or  the  transactions contemplated hereby to a level below that which
the  Lender  (or  its  parent)  could  have  achieved  but  for  such  adoption,
implementation,  change  or  compliance  (taking into consideration the Lender's
policies  with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to
be  material, then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after demand
by  the  Lender,  the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or
amounts  as  will  compensate  the  Lender  (or  its parent) for such reduction;
provided  that  any  claim  by  the  Lender  for  compensation  pursuant to this
paragraph  shall be made within ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence of
the  event  giving  rise  to  such  claim.  A certificate of the Lender claiming
compensation  under  this  paragraph  and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts  to  be  paid  to  it  hereunder  shall be conclusive, provided that the
determination  thereof  is  made  in  good  faith and on a reasonable basis.  In
determining  such amount or amounts, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging
and  attribution  methods.
10.     BORROWING  PROCEDURE.  The Borrower shall give Lender notice by means of
        --------------------
an  Advance Request Form of each requested Advance at least one (1) Business Day
before  the  requested  date  of  each Prime Rate Advance and at least three (3)
Business  Days before the requested date of each Eurodollar Advance, specifying:

amount  of  such  Advance, (c) the Type of the Advance, and (d) in the case of a
Eurodollar  Advance,  the  duration  of  the  Interest  Period for such Advance.
Lender  at its option may accept telephonic requests for Advances, provided that
such  acceptance  shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to delivery of
an  Advance Request Form in connection with subsequent Advances.  Any telephonic
request for an Advance by the Borrower shall be promptly confirmed by submission
of a properly completed Advance Request Form to Lender.  Each Eurodollar Advance
shall  be in the minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or an
integral multiple of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000).  Not later than 1:00 p.m.
Dallas, Texas time on the date specified for each Advance hereunder, and subject

_______________,  by  and  between  ___________  (hereinafter  referred  to  as

     NOW  THEREFORE,  for  and  in  consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants  herein  contained  and  other  good  and  valuable consideration, the
receipt  and  sufficiency  of  which  is  hereby  acknowledged,  the Company and

                                    ARTICLE I

                                  COMPENSATION


     1.01     During  the  period of employment of Executive by the Company, the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") or the Compensation Committee or
Stock Award Plan Committee thereof shall determine, based on the recommendations
of the Company's Chief Executive Officer from  time to time, the compensation of
Executive, including salary, bonus, grants of stock options, and other benefits;
provided,  however, that Executive shall receive an annual salary, bonus and all
other benefits not less than his then current annual salary, bonus and all other
benefits,  except  stock  options,  including such increases as the Board or the
Compensation  Committee  approve  from  time  to  time.



ARTICLE II TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE 2.01 In addition to any other remedies which the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company may at any time terminate Executive's employment for Cause. The Company shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Executive of its intention to discharge Executive for Cause, and such notice must specify in detail the nature of the Cause alleged and provide Executive an opportunity to be heard by the Board prior to the expiration of such ten-day period. "Cause" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) Executive willfully engages in an act of dishonesty (including, but not limited to, conviction of a felony) which act in and of itself materially injures or damages the Company; or (b) Executive willfully fails to substantially perform his duties within fifteen (15) days after written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that Executive has not substantially performed his duties. TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE IN WINDOW PERIOD 2.02 Executive's employment may be terminated by Executive with or without any reason at any time within six months after a Change of Control (the "Window Period") by giving the Company at least ten days prior written notice of such termination. "Change of Control" shall mean any of the following: (a) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold, leased, exchanged or otherwise transferred to any person or entity or group of persons or entities acting in concert as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group (a "Group of Persons") other than a person or entity or Group of Persons at least 50% of the combined voting power of which is held by Executive; or (b) the Company is merged or consolidated with or into another corporation with the effect that the then existing stockholders of the Company hold less than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the surviving corporation of such merger or the corporation resulting from such consolidation ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors; or (c) a person or entity or Group of Persons (other than (i) the Company or (ii) an employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company) shall, as a result of a tender or exchange offer, open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, have become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors; or (d) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board. TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON 2.03 Executive may terminate his employment for good reason within twelve months following a Change of Control (the "Good Reason Period"). For purposes of this Agreement, "good reason" shall mean, without the Executive's express written consent, that, following a Change of Control, (i) Executive is required to relocate, (ii) Executive is assigned a diminished position or diminished responsibilities with the Company, or (iii) Executive's annual base salary or benefits, as the same may be increased from time to time, are reduced. NOTICE AND DATE OF TERMINATION 2.04 Any termination by the Company or by Executive shall be communicated by written notice. "Date of Termination" means (i) if Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive, the date of receipt of the notice of termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, or (ii) if Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies Executive of such termination. ARTICLE III OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY UPON TERMINATION WINDOW PERIOD; OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE 3.01 If the Company terminates Executive's employment other than for Cause or Executive terminates employment during the Window Period or Executive terminates his employment for good reason during the Good Reason period, the Company shall pay to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination an amount equal to: ______ multiplied by the Executive's Base Amount as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. OUTSIDE THE WINDOW PERIOD; FOR CAUSE 3.02 If (a) Executive terminates employment outside of the Window Period without good reason, (b) Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, (c) Executive terminates his employment outside the Good Reason Period, or (d) Executive's employment is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in the Company's long-term disability plan), this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive other than the obligation to pay to Executive, within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination, salary plus accrued bonus and other benefits due Executive through the Date of Termination and the amount of any compensation previously deferred by Executive, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid. NOT A PENALTY OR FORFEITURE 3.03 The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment under this Agreement is not a penalty or a forfeiture; rather, the amount specified is a reasonable and fair reflection of damages that Executive may incur in the event of Executive's termination. TAX LIMITATION 3.04(a) If any payment received or to be received by Executive in connection with a Change in Control of the Company or termination of Executive's employment (whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a Change in Control of the Company, or any person affiliated with the Company or such person (the "Total Payments")), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company will pay to Executive, within 30 days of any payments giving rise to excise tax, an additional amount (the "gross-up payment") such that the net amount retained or to be retained by Executive, after deduction of any excise tax on the total payments and any federal and state and local income tax and excise tax on the gross-up payment provided for by this section, will equal the total payments. 3.04(b) For purposes of determining the amount of the gross-up payment, Executive will be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year that the payment is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the executive's residence on the date of termination or the date that excise tax is withheld by the Company, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that could be obtained by deducting such state and local taxes. 3.04(c) For purposes of determining whether any of the total payments would not be deductible by the Company and would be subject to the excise tax, and the amount of such excise tax, (i) total payments will be treated as "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, and all parachute payments in excess of the base amount within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) will be treated as subject to the excise tax unless, in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company's independent auditors and acceptable to Executive such total payments (in whole or in part) are not parachute payments, or such parachute payments in excess of the base amount (in whole or in part) are otherwise not subject to the excise tax, and (ii) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit will be determined by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Internal Revenue Code. ARTICLE IV TERM 4.01 The term (the "Term") of this Agreement shall commence on the date of this Agreement as set forth above (the "Effective Date") and shall continue ___________. During each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with the fiscal year ending in June, __________, the Board may extend the Term by an additional year, by adopting an appropriate resolution which expressly extends the Term for such additional year but without the need to execute an amendment to this Agreement.

Executive acknowledges that the restrictions -------- contained in the foregoing Paragraphs 5.01(a) and (b) (the "Restrictions"), in view of the nature of the business in which the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries are engaged, are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and that any violation thereof would result in irreparable injury to the Company, and Executive therefore further acknowledges that, in the event Executive violates, or threatens to violate, any such Restrictions, the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the posting of any bond or other security, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies in law or equity to which the Company or any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company may be entitled. 5.01(d) Invalid Provisions.
