         March 31, 2002 up to and including April 30, 2003 not to exceed the
         aggregate principle amount of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars

         automatically reduces to $500,000.00) the outstanding principal amount
         of the Line of Credit plus the sum of all outstanding Letters of Credit
         exceeds the then current Line of Credit, then the Borrower shall
         promptly prepay the outstanding Line of Credit in an aggregate
         principal amount equal to such excess, together with interest on the
         principal amount paid accrued to the date of such prepayment."

         the Line of Credit, to a maximum of the principal amount set forth
         above, shall not exceed an aggregate of (i) $775,000.00 from January
         16, 2002 through and including March 30, 2002, when combined with the

         through and including April 30, 2003, when combined with the undrawn
         Letters of Credit (as hereinafter defined). All borrowings under the

ARTICLE 20 SAVINGS CLAUSE. It is the intention of the parties to comply strictly
with applicable usury laws. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Note, or in any contract, instrument or document evidencing or
securing the payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto (each, a "Related
Document"), in no event shall this Note or any Related Document require the
payment or permit the payment, taking, reserving, receiving, collection or
charging of any sums constituting interest under applicable laws that exceed the
maximum amount permitted by such laws, as the same may be amended or modified
from time to time (the "Maximum Rate"). If any such excess interest is called
for, contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with
this Note or any Related Document, or in any communication by Bank or any other
person to Borrower or any other person, or in the event that all or part of the
principal or interest hereof or thereof shall be prepaid or accelerated, so that
under any of such circumstances or under any other circumstance whatsoever the
amount of interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received on the
amount of principal actually outstanding from time to time under this Note shall
exceed the Maximum Rate, then in such event it is agreed that: (i) the
provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control; (ii) neither Borrower nor
any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note
or any Related Document shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to
the extent it is in excess of the Maximum Rate; (iii) any such excess interest
which is or has been received by Bank, notwithstanding this paragraph, shall be
credited against the then unpaid principal balance hereof or thereof, or if this
Note or any Related Document has been or would be paid in full by such credit,
refunded to Borrower; and (iv) the provisions of this Note and each Related
Document, and any other communication to Borrower, shall immediately be deemed
reformed and such excess interest reduced, without the necessity of executing
any other document, to the Maximum Rate. The right to accelerate the maturity of
this Note or any Related Document does not include the right to accelerate,
collect or charge unearned interest, but only such interest that has otherwise
accrued as of the date of acceleration. Without limiting the foregoing, all
calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or
received in connection with this Note and any Related Document which are made
for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Maximum Rate shall
be made to the extent permitted by applicable laws by amortizing, prorating,
allocating and spreading during the period of the full term of this Note or such
Related Document, including all prior and subsequent renewals and extensions
hereof or thereof, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved or received by Bank. The terms of this paragraph shall be deemed to be
incorporated into each Related Document.

         To the extent that either Chapter 303 or 306, or both, of the Texas
Finance Code apply in determining the Maximum Rate, Bank hereby elects to
determine the applicable rate ceiling by using the weekly ceiling from time to
time in effect, subject to Bank's right subsequently to change such method in
accordance with applicable law, as the same may be amended or modified from time
to time.

ARTICLE 21 RIGHT OF SETOFF; DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. Upon and after the occurrence of
an Event of Default, (i) Borrower hereby authorizes Bank, at any time and from
time to time, without notice, which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and
whether or not Bank shall have declared this Note to be due and payable in
accordance with the terms hereof, to set off against, and to appropriate and
apply to the payment of, Borrower's obligations and liabilities under this Note
(whether matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated),
any and all amounts owing by Bank to Borrower (whether payable in U.S. dollars
or any other currency, whether matured or unmatured, and in the case of
deposits, whether general or special (except trust and escrow accounts), time or
demand and however evidenced), and (ii) pending any such action, to the extent
necessary, to hold such amounts as collateral to secure such obligations and
liabilities and to return as unpaid for insufficient funds any and all checks
and other items drawn against any deposits so held as Bank, in its sole
discretion, may elect. Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in all
deposits and accounts maintained with Bank and with any other financial
institution to secure the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Borrower
to Bank under this Note.

ARTICLE 22 CERTAIN TRI-PARTY ACCOUNTS. Borrower and Bank agree that Chapter 346
of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit accounts and
revolving triparty accounts) shall not apply to any revolving loan accounts
created under this Note or maintained in connection herewith.

ARTICLE 23 This note is in renewal, extension and reduction of, but not in
novation or discharge of, that certain Revolving Line of Credit Note dated as of
January 31, 2002, in the original principal amount of $775,000.00, executed by
the Borrower and payable to the order of the Bank.

HEREBY CONSTITUTE A WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT WHICH REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
