  adjustment therein) by the Purchase Price.

            2.2  Partial Exercise.   Subject  to the  provisions  hereof,
  this Warrant may be exercised in  part by surrender of this Warrant  in
  the manner and at the place provided in Subsection 2.1 except that  the
  amount payable by  the holder upon  any partial exercise  shall be  the
  amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Common Stock
  (without giving effect  to any  adjustment therein)  designated by  the
  holder in the subscription at the end hereof by (b) the Purchase Price.
   Upon any such partial exercise, the  Company will forthwith issue  and
  deliver to the holder hereof a  new Warrant or Warrants of like  tenor,
  in the name of the holder hereof, calling in the aggregate on the  face
  or faces  thereof  for the  number  of  shares of  Common  Stock  equal
  (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such

  shares designated by the holder in the subscription at the end  hereof.
   No fractional shares of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of
  any Warrants.
<PAGE>
       3.   Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise.  As soon as

  holder hereof a  certificate or certificates  for the  number of  fully
  paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to
  which such holder shall be entitled  upon such exercise, plus, in  lieu
  of any  fractional  share  to which  such  holder  would  otherwise  be
  entitled, cash equal to  such fraction multiplied  by the then  current
  market value of one full share, together with any other stock or  Other
  Securities and  property (including  cash, where  applicable) to  which
  such holder is  entitled upon such  exercise pursuant to  Section 4  or
  otherwise.

       4.   Adjustment for Dividends in Other Stock, Property, etc.;
  Reclassification, etc.  In case at any time or from time to time  after
  the  Original  Issue  Date  the  holders  of  Common  Stock  (or  Other
  Securities) shall have received, or (on or after the record date  fixed
  for the determination of shareholders  eligible to receive) shall  have
  become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,

            (a)  other  or  additional  stock  or  Other  Securities   or
       property (other than cash) by way of dividend, or

            (b)  any cash paid or payable (including, without limitation,
       by way of dividend), except out of earned surplus of the  Company,

       similar corporate rearrangement,

  then, and  in each  such case,  the holder  of this  Warrant, upon  the
  exercise hereof as provided in Section 2, shall be entitled to  receive
  the amount of stock and Other  Securities and property (including  cash
  in the cases referred to in Subsections (b) and (c) of this Section  4)
  which such holder would  hold on the  date of such  exercise if on  the
  Original Issue Date such  holder had been the  holder of record of  the
  number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this Warrant
  and had thereafter, during the period  from the Original Issue Date  to
  and including the date of such  exercise, retained such shares and  all
  such other  or additional  (or less)  stock  and Other  Securities  and
  property (including cash in  the cases referred  to in Subsections  (b)
  and (c) of this Section 4)  receivable by him as aforesaid during  such
  period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such  period
  by Section 5 hereof.
<PAGE>
       5.   Reorganization, Consolidation,  Merger,  etc.   In  case  the

  reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or
  (c) transfer all or  substantially all of its  properties or assets  to
  any other  person  under  any plan  or  arrangement  contemplating  the
  dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, the holder of this
  Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2 at any  time
  after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or  merger

  entitled to receive (and the Company shall be entitled to deliver),  in
  lieu of  the Common  Stock (or  Other  Securities) issuable  upon  such
  exercise prior to such consummation or  such effective date, the  stock
  and Other Securities and property (including cash) to which such holder
  would have been entitled upon such  consummation or in connection  with
  such dissolution, as the case may  be, if such holder had so  exercised
  this  Warrant  immediately  prior  thereto,  all  subject  to   further
  adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4 hereof.

       6.   Notices of Record Date, etc.  In the event of:

            (a)  any taking by the Company of a record of the holders  of
       any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
       thereof who are  entitled to receive  any dividend  (other than  a
       cash dividend payable  out of earned  surplus of  the Company)  or
       other distribution, or  any right  to subscribe  for, purchase  or
       otherwise acquire any shares  of stock of any  class or any  Other
       Securities or property, or to receive any other right, or

            (b)  any  capital   reorganization   of  the   Company,   any
       reclassification or recapitalization of  the capital stock of  the
       Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets  of
       the Company to or consolidation or  merger of the Company with  or
       into any other person, or

            (c)  any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
       winding-up of the Company,

  then and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed
  to each holder of a Warrant a  notice specifying (i) the date on  which
  any such  record is  to be  taken  for the  purpose of  such  dividend,
  distribution or right,  and stating the  amount and  character of  such
  dividend, distribution or right,  and (ii) the date  on which any  such
  reorganization,    reclassification,    recapitalization,     transfer,
  consolidation, merger,  dissolution, liquidation  or winding-up  is  to
  take place, and the time, if any, as of which the holders of record  of
  Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange  their
  shares of Common Stock  (or Other Securities)  for securities or  other
  property  deliverable  upon   such  reorganization,   reclassification,
  recapitalization,   transfer,   consolidation,   merger,   dissolution,

       7.   Reservation of Stock, etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrants.
   The Company will at all times  reserve and keep available, solely  for

  Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable upon  the
  exercise of the Warrants.
<PAGE>
       8.   Listing on Securities Exchanges.  If, at the time any of  the
  Warrants are exercised, the Company's Common Stock or Other  Securities
  then subject to  such Warrants are  listed on  any national  securities
  exchange and the shares  issuable upon exercise  of such Warrants  have
  not already been so listed, the Company will, at its expense,  promptly
  file an  application to  list on  such  exchange, subject  to  official
  notice of issuance, all shares of Common Stock or Other Securities,  as
  the case may be, from  time to time issuable  upon the exercise of  the
  Warrants, and will use its best efforts  to cause such shares to be  so
  listed as promptly as reasonably possible.  In the event such a listing
  application must be filed following the  exercise of any Warrants,  the
  Company may postpone the issuance and  delivery of the shares  issuable
  in respect thereof until the listing of such shares has been completed.

       9.   Exchange of Warrants.  Subject  to the provisions of  Section
  12 hereof,  upon  surrender  for  exchange  of  any  Warrant,  properly
  endorsed, to the Company, the Company at its own expense will issue and
  deliver to the holder thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like  tenor,
  in the name of  such holder, calling  in the aggregate  on the face  or
  faces thereof for the  number of shares of  Common Stock called for  on
  the face or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.

       10.  Replacement of Warrants.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
  satisfactory  to  the  Company  of  the  loss,  theft,  destruction  or
  mutilation of any Warrant and, in the  case of any such loss, theft  or
  destruction,  upon  delivery  of  an  indemnity  agreement   reasonably
  satisfactory in form and amount to the  Company or, in the case of  any
  such mutilation, upon surrender and  cancellation of such Warrant,  the
  Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
  Warrant of like tenor.

       11.  Warrant Agent.  The  Company may, by  written notice to  each
  holder of  a Warrant,  appoint  an agent  having  an office  in  Dallas
  County, Texas  for  the  purpose of  issuing  Common  Stock  (or  Other
  Securities) upon the exercise  of the Warrants  pursuant to Section  2,
  exchanging Warrants  pursuant  to  Section 9,  and  replacing  Warrants
  pursuant to Section  10, or any  of the foregoing,  and thereafter  any
  such issuance, exchange or  replacement, as the case  may be, shall  be
  made at such office by such agent.

       12.  Restriction on Transfer,  etc.  This  Warrant is issued  upon
  the following terms, to all of which each holder or owner hereof by the
  taking hereof consents and agrees:

            (a)  notwithstanding any  term  or provision  hereof  to  the
       contrary, this Warrant (and any Warrant for which this Warrant may
       be exchanged  or replaced)  may not  be transferred  or  assigned,
       except  by  will  or   pursuant  to  the   laws  of  descent   and
       distribution; provided, however, that  any transfer or  assignment
       shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1  hereof;
       and

            (b)  until this Warrant  is transferred on  the books of  the
       Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the
       absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding notice  to
       the contrary.
<PAGE>
       13.  Notices, etc.  All notices and other communications from  the
  Company to the holder  of this Warrant shall  be mailed by first  class
  registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,  at such address as  may
  have been furnished to the Company in writing by such holder, or, until
  an address is so furnished, to and at the address of the last holder of
  this Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.

       14.  Miscellaneous.   This  Warrant and  any  term hereof  may  be
  changed, waived,  discharged or  terminated only  by an  instrument  in
  writing signed by the party against  which enforcement of such  change,
  waiver, discharge  or termination  is sought.   This  Warrant shall  be
  construed and enforced in accordance with  and governed by the laws  of

<PAGE>
         2. BASE RENT, SECURITY DEPOSIT, AND ESCROW PAYMENTS.

         A. Lessee  agrees to  pay to  Lessor Base  Rent for  the  Leased
    Premises,  in  advance,  and except  as  expressly  provided  herein,
    without demand, deduction or set off, at the rate of See Exhibit  "C"
    Special  Provisions. One  such monthly  installment, plus  the  other
    monthly  charges set forth in  Paragraph 2C below,  shall be due  and
    payable  on the date hereof and a  like monthly installment shall  be
    due  and payable on or  before the first day  of each calendar  month
    succeeding  the  Commencement  Date, except  that  all  payments  due
    hereunder for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.

         B. In  addition, Lessee  agrees to  deposit with  Lessor on  the
    date  hereof  the  sum  of   Twelve  Thousand  Five  Hundred  Dollars
    ($12,500.00), which  shall be held by Lessor, without obligation  for
    interest,  as Security for  the performance  of Lessee's  obligations
    under  this  Lease.  Lessor and  Lessee  expressly  agree  that  this
    deposit  is not an advance  rental deposit or  a measure of  Lessor's
    damages in case of Lessees default. Upon each occurrence of an  event
    of  default,  Lessor may,  at its  option, use  all  or part  of  the
    deposit to pay past due rent or other payments due Lessor under  this
    Lease, or the cost of any other damage, injury, expense or  liability
    caused  by such  event of  default, without  prejudice to  any  other
    remedy  provided herein or provided by  law. On demand, Lessee  shall
    pay Lessor  the amount that will restore the security deposit to  its
    original  amount. The security deposit  shall be deemed the  property
    of  Lessor,  but any  remaining  balance  of such  deposit  shall  be
    returned  by Lessor to  lessee when Lessee's  obligations under  this
    Lease have been fulfilled.

         C. Lessee agrees to  pay its Proportionate Share (as defined  in
    Paragraph 23B)  of (i) taxes payable by Lessor pursuant to  paragraph
    3A, (ii)  the cost of maintaining insurance pursuant to paragraph  9,
    and (iii) all common area charges including, without limitation,  the
    cost  of  repairs pursuant  to Paragraph  4,  the cost  of  utilities
    pursuant  to Paragraph S. and the  cost of security service  pursuant
    to  Paragraph 24,  All such charges  listed in  this subparagraph  2C
    (iii)  are collectively referred to  in this Lease, and  particularly
    in  this Paragraph 2C, as Common Area  Charges. During each month  of
    the term  of this Lease, on the same day that rent is due  hereunder.
    Lessee  shall escrow  with Lessor  an  amount equal  to 1/12  of  the
    estimated  annual cost  of  its Proportionate  Share of  such  items.
    Lessee  authorizes Lessor  to  use the  funds deposited  with  Lessor
    under  this  Paragraph 2C  to pay  such  costs. The  initial  monthly
    escrow  payments  are  based  upon  the  estimated  amounts  for  the
    calendar  year in which the Lease  commences, and shall be  increased
    or  decreased annually to  reflect the projected  actual cost of  all
    such  items. If  the Lessee's  total escrow  payments are  less  than
    Lessee's actual  Proportionate Share of all such items, Lessee  shall
    pay  the difference to Lessor within ten  (10) days after demand.  If
    the  total escrow  payments of Lessee  ate more  than Lessees  actual
    proportionate  share of  all  such items,  Lessor shall  retain  such
    excess  and credit it  against Lessees next  annual escrow  payments.
    Upon  reasonable  request  from  Lessee,  Lessor  shall  furnish   an
    operating statement  for the Leased Premises for the prior year.  The
    amount of the initial monthly rental and the initial escrow  payments
    are  collectively  denominated  in  this  Lease  as  "Rent",  and  is
    itemized as follows:

   to have been executed  by Lessee (or any predecessor Lessee)  granting
   Claimant the right under  various circumstances to take possession  of
   such furniture,  fixtures, equipment  or other  property, without  the

    handling,  release,  discharge,  generation  or  transport  shall  be
    conducted in  strict  accordance  with  all  Environmental  Laws  (as

    cost and expense,  with all reasonable  recommendations contained  in
    any  Environmental  Assessment   delivered  to   Lessor  to   Lessee,
    including. without  limitation,  any reasonable  recommendation  with
    respect to  the precautions  that  should be  taken with  respect  to
