of Restricted Stock and the right to vote the Restricted Stock and to receive
dividends thereon may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged,
hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered prior to vesting.  Subject to the

and/or other distributions declared thereon.
4.
EVIDENCE OF STOCK OWNERSHIP

reflected by the issuance of stock certificates or by book entry evidence of
ownership.  Any stock certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall be
retained by the Company until the lapse of restrictions under the terms hereof. 
The Company shall place a restriction, in the form specified in the Plan, on any
stock certificates or on any book entry evidence of ownership restricting the
transferability of the shares of Restricted Stock.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.2            Upon the lapse of restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock, the
Company shall cause a stock certificate or book entry evidence of ownership
without a restrictive legend to be issued with respect to the vested Restricted
Stock in the name of the Award Recipient or his or her nominee within 30 days. 
Upon receipt of such stock certificate or evidence of ownership, the Award
Recipient is free to hold or dispose of the shares represented by such
certificate or evidence of ownership, subject to applicable securities laws.
5.
DIVIDENDS
Any dividends paid on shares of Restricted Stock shall be paid to the Award
Recipient currently.
6.
TAXES
The Award Recipient understands that he or she (and not the Company) shall be
responsible for the Award Recipient's own tax liability that may arise as a
result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Award Recipient
understands that Section 83 of the Code taxes as ordinary income the Fair Market
Value of the Restricted Stock as of the date any restrictions on the shares
lapse.  The Award Recipient understands that he or she may elect to be taxed at
the time the Restricted Stock is granted rather than upon vesting by filing an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the I.R.S. within thirty days from
the date of grant.  The Award Recipient acknowledges that it is his or her sole
responsibility, and not the Company's, to timely file any such election.

hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, and successors.
8.
INCONSISTENT PROVISIONS
The shares of Restricted Stock granted hereby are subject to the provisions of
the Plan as in effect on the date hereof and as it may be amended.  If any
provision of this Agreement conflicts with a provision of the Plan, the Plan
provision shall control.
9.
GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Texas.
10.
SEVERABILITY
If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any
person or circumstance, shall at any time or to any extent be invalid, illegal,
or unenforceable in any respect as written, the Award Recipient and the Company
intend for any court construing this Agreement to modify or limit such provision
so as to render it valid and enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by law. 
Any such provision that is not susceptible of such reformation shall be ignored
so as to not affect any other term or provision hereof, and the remainder of
this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term and provision of this
Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION
The Plan and this Agreement contain the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter contained herein.  Any oral or written
agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other
communications made prior to the execution of the Agreement shall be void and
ineffective for all purposes.  The Committee may amend, modify, or terminate the
Restricted Stock at any time prior to vesting in any manner not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment,
modification, or termination may materially impair the rights of an Award
Recipient hereunder without his or her consent.
By Award Recipient's signature below, Award Recipient represents that he or she
is familiar with the terms and provisions of the Plan, and hereby accepts this
Agreement subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof.  Award Recipient
