     Shipper  gives  at  least  thirty  (30)  days  advance  written  notice  of
     termination  to  Carrier  prior  to  the  end of any of the one year terms,
     whereupon  this  Contract shall terminate at the end of then current year's
     term  of  this  Contract.  Nothing  in this paragraph shall be construed as
     limiting, abridging or superseding any right of cancellation or termination
     of  this  Contract  as  may  be  specified  in  any other paragraph of this
     Contract.

2.   All  transportation  performed  by  Carrier  for Shipper hereunder shall be
     subject  to  and governed by the terms and conditions of Carrier's attached
     freight  bill  and  such  other  rules, regulations, charges and provisions
     appearing in Carrier's Fee and Service Schedule and amendments, supplements
     and  revisions  thereof  which are expressly incorporated by reference into
     the  Contract.  To  the  extent that any provisions therein are in conflict
     with the provisions of this Contract, the provisions of this Contract shall
     be  deemed  as  controlling.

3.   In  the event either party to this Contract is prevented from or delayed in
     performing  any  of  its  obligations  hereunder  on  account of any law or
     legally  binding  order, regulation, direction, or act of any government or
     any department or agency thereof having jurisdiction over such party, or on
     account  of  war,  Act  of God, labor disturbances, or any cause beyond the
     control  of  the  parties, such party shall be excused from performing such
     obligations  to  the  extent  of and for the term of the disability and the
     other party shall be excused from performing its obligations hereunder to a
     like  extent;  neither  party  shall  be liable to the other for damages by
     reason  of  any  delay  or  suspension  caused by events enumerated in this
     paragraph.

     shipment, must be filed with Carrier within ninety (90) days of the date of

5.   In the event a manufactured home or modular home is subsequently damaged or
     injured  in  transit and while under the control of Carrier, the provisions
     of  this  paragraph  will  control  over any conflicting provisions of this
     Agreement.


<PAGE>
     a.   Carrier agrees that if the damaged home was a sectional home, and less
          than  all sections are damaged, that Carrier will promptly pay Shipper
          an amount equal to Shipper's normal dealer invoice for all sections of
          the  home  (whether  or  not all sections are damaged), less transport
          charges and volume rebate earned by the intended dealer as of the date
          of the accident. Shipper agrees that it will construct, upon Carrier's
          written  order  and  at  Carrier's  expense, the sections necessary to
          complete  any  damaged  home  in  Shipper's normal course of business.
          Shipper will attempt to construct the sections with matching materials
          whenever  possible,  but  shall have no liability for failure to match
          materials.

     b.   Carrier  may  request and Shipper may, at its option, agree to perform
          repairs to damaged homes transported under this agreement. Such repair
          will  be made by Shipper at the Carrier's expense and for an amount to
          be  agreed  upon  at the time such repairs are performed. Such repairs
          shall  be made by Shipper in conformance with applicable codes without
          warranty  of  any  kind and are subject to the hold harmless set forth
          below.

     Carrier agrees that if Carrier resells any damaged home or section, whether
or  not  repairs  have  been  made  by  shipper:

          (1)  Carrier  will  inform  any  potential  buyer of the nature of and
               extent  of  any  damage.

          (2)  Carrier  will inform any potential buyer in writing that the home
               has no warranty from Shipper and will be sold "as is" and without
               express  or  implied  warranty  other  than a warranty offered by
               Carrier,  if  any.

          (3)  Carrier  will  indemnify  and  hold  Shipper  harmless  from  any
               damages,  cost,  expense,  claim or demand relating to or arising
               from  repair  or  damages  under  the provisions of this Section,
               whether  based  on  breach  of  Contract, tort or any other legal
               theory,  it  being  the  intent of the parties that Shipper shall
               have  no  liability  for ultimate sale of any replacement section
               home.  Carrier's  liability  shall  not extend beyond the term of
               Shipper's  existing  warranty. It is specifically understood that
               Carrier  has  agreed to accept liability for loss of the property
               caused  by  an  Act of God and that Shipper has agreed to pay the
               fees  therefor  as  set  forth  in  Appendix  C.
                                                   -----------

6.   Except  as  may  be  otherwise specifically provided herein, the rights and
     obligations  of the parties with respect to shipments made pursuant to this
     Contract  are  subject  to any and all rules, regulations and orders of the
     United States Government or any State Government, or any other governmental
     entity,  board,  commission  or  agency  thereof.  This  Contract  shall be
     construed  according  to  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Texas,  and if any
     provisions  of  this  Contract  be  declared


<PAGE>
     unlawful  or  unenforceable,  by  judicial  determination or otherwise, the
     remaining  provisions  of  this  Contract  shall  remain  in full force and
     effect.

7.   This  Contract  shall  not  be assigned by either party without the written
     consent  of  the  other,  which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

8.   Any  notice  given  in  writing  under this Contract shall be considered as
     having  been  given  by either party to the other party upon its receipt by
     the  other  party  and shall be sent by registered or certified mail to the
     applicable  address  set forth in this Contract, or to such other addresses
     as  such  other  party  may  from  time-to-time  specify  in writing as the
     applicable  address.  Notices to the Shipper shall be sent to the attention
     of the Vice President of Finance, American Homestar Corporation, 2450 South
     Shore  Blvd.,  Suite  300, League City, Texas 77573. Notices to the Carrier
     shall  be  sent  to  the  attention  of  Howard Hull, Director of Sales and
     Marketing,  P.  O.  Box  1488,  Athens,  Texas  75751.

9.   If either party shall persistently and repeatedly refuse or fail to perform
     any  duty,  obligation  or  responsibility  required  by  the terms of this
     Contract,  or  persistently disregard laws or regulations applicable to the
     performance  under  the  terms  of  this  Contract  or  otherwise  commit a
     substantial violation of any provisions of this Contract, either party may,
     without  prejudice  to  any  other  right  or  remedy,  state its intent to
     terminate this Contract and the circumstances therefore by giving the other
     party at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such intent. In the
     event that the offending party cures the complained of circumstances within
     thirty (30) days of receipt of the written notice, and continues thereafter
     to  tender  or  transport  the described property and to perform under this
     Contract,  all provisions of this Contract shall continue in full force and
     effect.

10.  That  in  the  event  the cost of fuel, insurance and/or other direct costs
     related  to  the provision of the transportation services to be provided by
     Carrier under this Contract shall increase or decrease, the compensation to
     be  paid  by  Carrier  by Shipper for such transportation services shall be
     subject to upward or downward adjustment in accordance with these costs. It
     is  specifically  understood  that,  before  any increase is implemented or
     incurred, the Carrier shall present reasonable cost data in support thereof
     to  the  Shipper  including  but  not limited to fuel, insurance, and other
     related  direct transportation costs as well as data which may be available
     and/or  released  by  a  Federal  and/or  State  entity.
