the release of the Escrow Deposit, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to
resolve such controversy or take any action, but shall await final resolution of
the controversy by joint written instructions from the parties hereto or
pursuant to a nonappealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction.

         7. (a) Escrow Agent shall have no liability or obligation with respect
         to the Escrow Deposit except for Escrow Agent's willful misconduct or
         gross negligence. Escrow Agent's sole responsibility shall be for the
         safekeeping, investment, and disbursement of the Escrow Deposit in
         accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall have no
         implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge
         or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth
         herein. Escrow Agent may rely upon any instrument, not only as to its
         due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and
         accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall
         in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented
         by the person or parties purporting to sign the same and to conform to
         the provisions of this Agreement. In no event shall Escrow Agent be
         liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive
         damages. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action
         or commence any proceeding in connection with the Escrow Deposit, any
         account in which any part of the Escrow Deposit is deposited, this
         Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend
         any such legal action or proceeding. Escrow Agent may consult legal
         counsel selected by it (which may be an attorney that is an employee of
         Escrow Agent) in the event of any dispute or question as to the
         construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement
         or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute involving any
         party hereto, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully
         indemnified from any liability whatsoever in acting in accordance with
         the opinion or instruction of such counsel. The parties hereto other
         than the Escrow Agent, jointly and severally, shall promptly pay, upon
         demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of any such counsel.

            (b) The Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to
         comply with orders issued or process entered by any court with respect
         to the Escrow Deposit, without determination by the Escrow Agent of
         such court's jurisdiction in the matter. If any portion of the Escrow
         Deposit is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any
         court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance
         or delivery of any such

                                        3

         property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any
         order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court
         affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such
         event, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely
         upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it
         is advised by legal counsel selected by it (which may be an attorney
         that is an employee of the Escrow Agent) is binding upon it without the
         need for appeal or other action; and if the Escrow Agent complies with
         any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any
         of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of
         such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be
         subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

         8. From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, the parties
hereto other than the Escrow Agent (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTIES") jointly and
severally, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law and to the extent
provided herein, indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent and each director,
officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively,
the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from and against any and all actions, claims (whether
or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified
Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect or
consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any
claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or
investigation) by any person, including without limitation any party hereto,
whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable
remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not
limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or
equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of
this Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such
Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target
of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified
Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal,
to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party. If any such action or claim shall be brought or asserted
against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Attorney-in-Fact and Buyer in writing, and the Indemnifying Parties shall assume
the defense thereof including the employment of counsel and the payment of all
expenses. Such Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right
to employ separate counsel (who may be selected by such Indemnified Party in its
sole discretion) in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof,
and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified
Party, except that the Indemnifying Parties shall be required to pay such fees
and expenses if (a) any of the Indemnifying Parties agrees to pay such fees and
expenses, (b) the Indemnifying Parties shall fail to assume the defense of such
action or proceeding or shall fail, in the sole discretion of such Indemnified
Party, to employ counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in any such
action or proceeding, (c) an Indemnifying Party is the plaintiff in any such
action or proceeding, or (d) the named or potential parties to any such action
or proceeding (including any potentially impleaded parties) include both an
Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall
have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to
such Indemnifying Party or Parties. The Indemnifying Parties shall be jointly
and severally liable to pay fees and expenses of counsel

                                        4

pursuant to the preceding sentence, except that any obligation to pay under
clause (a) shall apply only to the party so agreeing. All such fees and expenses
payable by the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be
paid from time to time as incurred, both in advance of and after the final
disposition of such action or claim. All of the foregoing losses, damages, costs
and expenses of the Indemnified Parties shall be payable by the Indemnifying
Parties jointly and severally, upon demand by such Indemnified Party. The
obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this paragraph 8 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement, and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent,
and shall be independent of any obligation of the Escrow Agent.

         9. The Company, the Company Shareholders and Buyer shall reimburse
Escrow Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including
attorneys' fees, travel expenses, telephone and facsimile transmission costs,
postage (including express mail and overnight delivery charges), copying charges
and the like. All of the reimbursement obligations set forth in this paragraph 9
shall be payable by the Company, the Company Shareholders and Buyer, jointly and
severally, upon demand by Escrow Agent. The obligations of the Company, the
Company Shareholders and Buyer under this paragraph 9 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

         ESCROW AGENT IS AUTHORIZED TO, AND MAY, DISBURSE TO ITSELF FROM
INTEREST ON THE CASH DEPOSIT, FROM TIME TO TIME, UP TO ONE HALF OF THE TOTAL
AMOUNT OF ANY INDEMNITY OR REIMBURSEMENT OF OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES PAYABLE
HEREUNDER (INCLUDING ANY AMOUNT TO WHICH ESCROW AGENT OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY
IS ENTITLED TO SEEK INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 8 HEREOF) THAT IS MORE
THAN 15 DAYS PAST DUE. ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOTIFY THE COMPANY, THE
ATTORNEY-IN-FACT AND BUYER OF ANY DISBURSEMENT FROM THE ESCROW DEPOSIT TO ITSELF
OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IN RESPECT OF ANY INDEMNIFICATION OR REIMBURSEMENT
HEREUNDER AND SHALL FURNISH TO THE COMPANY, THE ATTORNEY-IN-FACT AND BUYER
COPIES OF ALL RELATED INVOICES AND OTHER STATEMENTS. THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL HAVE
THE RIGHT TO OFFSET UP TO ONE HALF OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO IT HEREUNDER (INCLUDING
ANY CLAIM FOR INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 8 HEREOF) AGAINST THE
INTEREST ON THE CASH DEPOSIT. IF FOR ANY REASON INTEREST ON THE CASH DEPOSIT IS
INSUFFICIENT TO COVER SUCH AMOUNT, BUYER SHALL PROMPTLY PAY SUCH AMOUNTS TO
ESCROW AGENT UPON RECEIPT OF AN ITEMIZED INVOICE.

         10. Except as specified above, the Escrow Agent agrees to serve without
compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder.

         11. Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the other parties hereto, but such resignation shall not become
effective until a successor escrow agent shall have been appointed by the
resigning Escrow Agent and approved by the Company, the Attorney-in- Fact and
Buyer and shall have accepted such appointment in writing. If an instrument of
acceptance by a successor escrow agent shall not have been delivered to the
Escrow Agent within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Escrow Agent may at the expense of the other parties
hereto petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor escrow agent.

         12. If a controversy arises between the parties hereto with respect to
the release of the Escrow Deposit, any of the Company, the Attorney-in-Fact,
Buyer or Escrow Agent shall, at its option, file an action or bill in
interpleader, or similar action for such purpose, in a Dallas, Texas court of
competent jurisdiction and the Escrow Agent shall promptly pay the Escrow
Deposit into said court, in which event the Escrow Agent's duties,
responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement shall terminate.

         13. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Texas. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each
one of which shall constitute an original, and all collectively shall constitute
but one instrument.
