Miscellaneous

Security Instruments and Non-Impairment of Lien. All Loan Documents shall secure
the  indebtedness  evidenced by the Note and the other Loan  Documents,  as such
indebtedness is affected by this  Amendment,  whether or not such Loan Documents
shall be expressly  amended or  supplemented  in connection with this Amendment.
Except as expressly provided herein,  nothing contained in this Amendment shall:
(i) alter or affect any provision,  condition or covenant contained in the Note,
the  Agreement,  the  Security  Agreements,  the  Mortgages,  or the other  Loan
Documents or affect or impair any rights,  powers,  or remedies  thereunder,  it
being the intent hereof that the  provisions  of the Note,  the  Agreement,  the
Security  Agreements,  the Mortgages,  and the other Loan  Documents  shall each
continue in full force and effect except as expressly  modified hereby,  or (ii)
be  deemed  or  construed  to be an  impairment  of the  lien  of  the  Security
Agreements or the Mortgages.  The Security  Agreements  and the Mortgages  shall
remain first liens encumbering the property covered by the Security  Agreements,
the Mortgages, and any other Loan Document.

Survival of Representations  and Warranties.  All representations and warranties
made in this Amendment or in any other Loan Document including any Loan Document
furnished in  connection  with this  Amendment  shall  survive the execution and
delivery of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation by
Agent or any closing  shall affect the  representations  and  warranties  or the
right of Agent to rely upon them.

Reference to Agreement. Each of the Loan Documents,  including the Agreement and
any and  all  other  agreements,  documents,  or  instruments  now or  hereafter
executed and delivered  pursuant to the terms hereof or pursuant to the terms of
the  Agreement as amended  hereby,  are hereby  amended so that any reference in
such Loan Documents to the Agreement  shall mean a reference to the Agreement as
amended  hereby.  It is the intention of the parties  hereto that this Agreement
and the agreements,  documents,  and/or instruments executed,  delivered, and/or
recorded  in  connection  herewith  shall be  deemed  to form a part of the Loan
Documents  that they  amend,  and  shall all  constitute  a "Loan  Document"  as
referred to herein and therein.

Additional  Documentation.  From time to time,  Borrower and/or Guarantors shall
execute or procure  and deliver to Agent such other and  further  documents  and
instruments evidencing, securing, or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced by
the Note or the other Loan  Documents as shall be reasonably  requested by Agent
so as to evidence or effect the terms and provisions hereof, including,  without
limitation,  evidence that Post-Merger Guarantor has qualified to do business in
Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Agent may file financing statements and other
instruments  or  documents  in the  appropriate  jurisdictions  where  it or its
counsels deems necessary,  in their sole discretion,  to perfect Agent's lien in
the Collateral  without  obtaining the signature of Borrower or any Guarantor on
any of the financing statements.

Expenses  of Agent.  As  provided in the  Agreement,  Borrower  agrees to pay on
demand  all  costs  and  expenses  incurred  by  Agent  in  connection  with the
preparation,  negotiation,  and  execution of this  Amendment and the other Loan
Documents  executed  pursuant hereto and any and all amendments,  modifications,
and supplements  thereto including,  without  limitation,  the costs and fees of
Agent's  legal  counsel,  and all  costs  and  expenses  incurred  by  Agent  in
connection  with  the  enforcement  or  preservation  of any  rights  under  the
Agreement,  as amended  hereby,  or any other Loan Document  including,  without
limitation, the costs and fees of Agent's legal counsel.

Severability.  Any  provision  of this  Amendment  held by a court of  competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or  unenforceable  shall not impair or invalidate the
remainder  of this  Amendment  and the effect  thereof  shall be confined to the
provision so held to be invalid or unenforceable.

Applicable  Law. This Amendment and all other Loan Documents  executed  pursuant
hereto  shall be governed by and  construed in  accordance  with the laws of the
State of Texas.  On behalf of  itself  and all of its  respective  constituents,

jurisdiction  and venue of the state  courts of Texas and the federal  courts of
the United States having territorial jurisdiction where the property is located.

Successors  and Assigns.  This  Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of Agent, Borrower,  and Guarantor,  and their respective successors and
assigns,  except  Borrower  and/or  Guarantor  may not assign or transfer any of
their  rights or  obligations  hereunder  without the prior  written  consent of
Agent.

Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts,  each
of which when so executed  shall be deemed to be an  original,  but all of which
when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Effect of Waiver. No consent or waiver,  express or implied,  by Agent to or for
any breach of or deviation  from any covenant,  condition or duty by Borrower or
Guarantor  shall be deemed a consent or waiver to or of any other  breach of the
same or any other covenant, condition or duty.

Headings.  The headings,  captions,  and arrangements used in this Amendment are
for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.

Non-Application  of Chapter 346 of Texas Finance Code. The provisions of Chapter
