STATE OF TEXAS

COUNTY OF DALLAS

This Lease Agreement, made and entered into by and between

               ROBERT K. THOMAS

hereinafter referred to as "Landlord", and

               CAI, L.P., A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

hereinafter referred to as "Tenant",

                                   WITNESSETH:

     1. Premises and Term. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay
rent as herein provided and in consideration of the other terms, provisions and
covenants hereof, Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant, and Tenant
hereby takes from Landlord certain premises situated within the County of
Dallas, State of Texas, more particularly described on Exhibit "A" which is
attached hereto and made apart hereof, together with all rights, privileges,
easements, appurtenances and immunities belonging to or in anyway pertaining to
the said premises and together with the buildings and other improvements erected
upon said premises (the said real property and the buildings and improvements
thereon being hereinafter referred to as the "premises").

To Have and to Hold the same for a term commencing on the "commencement date",
as hereinafter defined and ending 24 months thereafter, provided, however, that
in the event the "commencement date" is a date other than the first day of a
calendar month, said term shall extend for said number of months in addition to
the remainder of the calendar month following the "commencement date".

The "commencement date" shall be September 1, 2003. Tenant acknowledges that it
has inspected and accepts the premises and specifically the buildings and
improvements comprising the same, in their present "as is-where is" condition,
except as provided herein, as suitable for the purpose for which the premises
are leased. Taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to
establish that said buildings and other improvements are in good and
satisfactory condition as of when possession was taken. Tenant further
acknowledges that no representations as to the repair of the premises, nor
promises to alter, remodel or improve the premises have been made by Landlord,
unless such are expressly set forth in this lease. If this lease is executed
before the premises become vacant or otherwise available and ready for
occupancy, or if any present tenant or occupant of the premises holds over, and
Landlord cannot acquire possession of the premises prior to said "commencement
date", Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder, and Tenant
agrees to accept possession of the premises at such time as Landlord is able to
tender the same, which date shall thenceforth be deemed the "commencement date",
and Landlord hereby waives payment of rent covering any period prior to the
tendering of possession to Tenant hereunder. After the commencement date Tenant
shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of
delivery of the premises.

     2. Rent. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord rent, without deduction or set
off, for the entire term hereof for said premises at the rate of SEE PARAGRAPH
25.A. per month. One such monthly installment shall be due and payable on the
execution date hereof, and a like monthly installment shall be due and payable
without demand or invoice issued on or before the first day of each __________
month during the hereby demised term; provided that if the said commencement
date should be a date other than the first day of a calendar month, there shall
be due and payable on the said commencement date as rent for the balance of the
calendar month during which the said commencement date shall fall a sum equal to
that proportion of the rent for a full month as herein provided which the number
of days from the said commencement date to the end of the calendar month during
which the said commencement date shall fall bears to the total number of days in
such month, and all succeeding installments of rent shall be payable on or
before the first day of each succeeding calendar month during the hereby demised
term as first above provided.

In addition, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord on the execution date hereof
the sum of ZERO, which sum shall be held by Landlord, without obligation for
interest, as security for the performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations
under this lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that such deposit is
not an advance rental deposit, a last month's rental deposit, nor a measure of
Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Upon the occurrence of any event
of default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any
other remedy provided herein or provided by law, use such fund to the extent
necessary to make good any arrears of rent and any other damage, injury, expense
or liability caused by such event of default; and Tenant shall pay to Landlord
on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the security deposit to its
original amount. If Tenant is not then in default hereunder, any remaining
balance of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant upon termination
of this lease.

     3. Use. The demised premises shall be used only for the purpose of
receiving, storing, shipping and selling (other than retail) products, materials
and merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant and for such other lawful
purposes as may be incidental thereto. Outside storage, including without
limitation, trucks and other vehicles, is prohibited without Landlord's prior
written consent. Tenant shall at its own cost and expense obtain any and all
licenses and permits necessary for any such use. Tenant shall comply with all
governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the use of the
premises, and shall promptly comply with all governmental orders and directives
for the correction, prevention and abatement of _________ in or upon, or
connected with, the premises, all at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant shall not
permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or
vibrations to _______ from the premises, nor take any other action which would
constitute a nuisance or would disturb or endanger any other tenants of the
building in which the premises are situated or unreasonably interfere with their
use of their respective premises. Without Landlord's prior written consent,
Tenant shall not receive, store or otherwise handle any product, material or
merchandise which is explosive or highly flammable. Tenant will not permit the
premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner (including without
limitation any method of storage) which would render the insurance thereon void
or the insurance risk more hazardous or cause the State Board of Insurance or
other insurance authority to disallow any sprinkler credits.

     4. Taxes.

     A. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph B, below, Landlord agrees to
pay before they become delinquent all taxes (both general and special),
assessments or governmental charges (hereinafter collectively referred to as
"taxes") lawfully levied or assessed against the premises or any part thereof,
provided, however, Landlord may, at its sole cost and expense (in its own name
or in the name of both, as it may deem appropriate) dispute and contest the
same, and in such case, such disputed item need not be paid until finally
adjudged to be valid. At the conclusion of such contest, Landlord shall pay the
items contested to the extent that they are held valid, together with all items,
court costs, interest and penalties relating thereto.

<PAGE>

     B. The maximum amount of taxes levied or assessed against the premises
during any one real estate tax year to be paid by Landlord shall be those taxes
levied or assessed against the premises in the amount of $22,124.36 If in any
real estate tax year during the term hereof or any renewal or extension the
taxes levied or assessed against the premises for such tax year shall exceed the
sum as calculated in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon
demand the amount of such excess. In the event the premises constitute a portion
of a multiple occupancy building, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord upon demand
the amount of Tenant's proportionate share of such excess (with respect to taxes
lawfully levied or assessed against the building and the grounds, parking areas,
driveways and alleys around the said building), such share to be calculated on
the basis of space occupied by tenant as compared to the entire space contained
in the building. The failure to pay such excess or proportionate share thereof,
as the case may be, within fifteen (15) days following receipt of tax
certificates reflecting the actual amount of taxes paid, shall be treated
hereunder in the same manner as a default in the payment of rent hereunder when
due. Any payment to be made pursuant to this subparagraph B. with respect to the
real estate tax year in which this lease commences or terminates shall bear the
same ratio to the payment which would be required to be made for the full tax
year as that part of such tax year covered by the term of this lease bears to a
full tax year.

     C. If at any time during the term of this lease, the present method of
taxation shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any taxes,
assessments, levies or charges levied, assessed or imposed on real estate and
the improvements thereon there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord
a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom and/or a
franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in
part, upon such rents for the present or any future building or buildings on the
premises, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, or the part
thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term
"taxes" for the purposes hereof.

     5. Landlord's Repairs. Landlord shall at his expense maintain only the
roof, foundation and the structural soundness of the exterior walls of the
building in good repair. Tenant shall repair and pay for any damage to the roof,
foundation or exterior walls caused by the negligence of Tenant or Tenant's
employees, agents or invitees, or caused by tenant's default hereunder, or any
leaks caused by tenant's installation of air conditioning or other equipment on
the roof. The term "walls" as used herein shall not include windows, glass or
plate glass, doors or special store fronts. Tenant shall immediately give
Landlord written notice of defect or need for repairs, after which Landlord
shall have reasonable opportunity to repair same or cure such defect. Landlord's
liability hereunder shall be limited to the cost of such repairs or curing such
defect. In the event the premises have air conditioning installed therein on the
date of this lease, then Landlord represents that on the commencement date of
this lease such air conditioning system in the office area only shall be in good
operating condition; provided, however, that during the term of this lease
Tenant shall at its own cost and expense maintain such system in good operating
condition, shall make all necessary repairs and upon termination of this lease
shall deliver such system to Landlord in good operating condition.

     6. Tenant's Repairs.

     A. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, keep and maintain all parts
of the premises (except those for which Landlord is expressly responsible under
the terms of this lease) in good condition, promptly making all necessary
repairs and replacements, including but not limited to, windows, glass and plate
glass, doors, any special office entry, interior walls and finish work, interior
and exterior paint work, floors and floor coverings, downspouts, gutters, dock
boards, truck doors, dock bumpers, paving, plumbing work and fixtures, electrial
wiring and fixtures, _______ and pest extermination, regular removal of trash
and debris, regular ______ of any grass, trimming, weed removal and general
landscape maintenance, including rail spur areas, keeping the parking areas,
driveways, alleys and the whole of the premises in a clean and sanitary
condition. Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any damage caused by fire,
tornado or other casualty covered by the insurance to be maintained by Landlord
pursuant to Paragraph 12 below, except that Tenant shall be obligated to repair
all wind damage to glass except with respect to tornado or hurricane damage.

     B. Tenant shall not damage any demising wall or disturb the integrity and
support provided by any demising wall and shall, at its sole cost and expense,
promptly repair any damage or injury to any demising wall caused by Tenant or
its employees, agents or invitees.

     C. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, enter into a regularly
scheduled preventive maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor
for servicing all hot water, heating and air conditioning systems and equipment
within the premises. The maintenance contractor and the contract must be
approved by Landlord. The service contract must include all services suggested
by the equipment manufacturer within the operation/maintenance manual and must
become effective (and a copy thereof delivered to Landlord) within thirty (30)
days of the date Tenant takes possession of the premises.

     7. Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or
improvements to the premises (including but not limited to roof and wall
penetrations) without the prior written consent of Landlord. Such consent may
not be unreasonably withheld or denied. Landlord agrees to grant such consent or
deny same with reasons, within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of
Tenant's request therefor, together with plans and specs of such improvements,
by written notification. The failure of Landlord to timely do so shall be deemed
to be its consent. If consent is timely denied, Landlord and Tenant agree to
work in good faith to satisfy both parties' needs. Tenant may, without the
consent of Landlord, but at its own cost and expense and in a good workmanlike
manner erect such shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures as it may deem
advisable, without altering the basic character of the building or improvements
and without overloading or damaging such building or improvements, and in each
case complying with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations
and other requirements. All alterations, additions, improvements and partitions
erected by Tenant shall be and remain the property of Tenant during the term of
this lease, and Tenant shall, unless Landlord otherwise elects, as hereinafter
provided, remove all alterations, additions, improvements and partitions erected
by Tenant and restore the premises to their original condition by the date of
termination of this lease or upon earlier vacating of the premises; provided,
however, that if Landlord so elects prior to termination of this lease or upon
earlier vacating of the premises, such alterations, additions, improvements and
partitions shall become the property of Landlord as of the date of termination
of this lease or upon earlier vacating of the premises and shall be delivered up
to the Landlord with the premises. All shelves, bins, machinery and trade
fixtures installed by Tenant may be removed by Tenant prior to the termination
of this lease, if Tenant so elects, and shall be removed by the date of
termination of this lease or upon earlier vacating of the premises if required
by Landlord; upon any such removal Tenant shall restore the premises to their
original condition. All such removals and restoration shall be accomplished in a
good workmanlike manner so as not to damage the primary structure or structural
qualities of the buildings and other improvements situated on the premises.

     8. Signs. Tenant shall have the right to install signs upon the premises
only when first approved in writing by Landord and subject to any applicable
governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements. Such cannot
may not be unreasonably withheld or denied. Landlord agrees to grant such
consent or deny same with reasons, within fifteen (15) days following its
receipt of Tenant's request therefor, together with plans and specs of such
improvements, by written notification. The failure of Landlord to timely do so
shall be deemed to be its consent. If consent is timely denied, Landlord and
Tenant agree to work in good faith to satisfy both parties' needs. Tenant shall
remove all such signs by the termination of this lease. Such installations and
removals shall be made in such manner as to avoid injury or defacement of the
building and other improvements and Tenant shall repair any injury or
defacement, including without limitation discoloration caused by such
installation and/or removal.

     9. Inspection. Landlord and Landlord's agents and representatives shall
have the right to enter and inspect the premises at any reasonable time during
business hours, for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the premises or
in order to make such repairs as may be required or permitted to be made by
Landlord under the terms of this lease. During the period that is six (6) months
prior to the end of the term hereof, Landlord and Landlord's agents and
representatives shall have the right to enter the premises at any reasonable
time during business hours for the purpose of showing the premises and shall
have the right to erect on the premises a suitable sign indicating the premises
are available. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30)
days prior to vacating the premises and shall arrange to meet with Landlord for
a joint inspection of the premises prior to vacating. In the event of Tenant's
failure to give each notice or arrange such joint inspection, Landlord's
inspection at or after Tenant's vacating the premises shall be conclusively
deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant's responsibility for repairs
and restoration.

     10. Utilities. Landlord agrees to provide at its cost water, electricity
and telephone service connections into the premises; but Tenant shall pay all
charges incurred for any utility services used on or from the premises and any
maintenance charges for utilities and shall furnish all electric light bulbs,
ballasts, and tubes. Landlord shall in no event be liable for any interruption
or failure of utility services on the premises. Tenant shall have all utilities
transferred to Landlord or, at Landlord's option, a designee; said transfers to
be effective one day after Tenant vacates the premises or one day after the
termination of the lease, whichever is later.

     11. Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not have the right to assign
this lease or to sublet the whole or any part of the premises without the prior
written consent of Landlord; not withstanding any permitted assignment or
subletting; Tenant shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for
the payment of the rent herein specified and for compliance with all of its
other obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of this lease. Upon
the occurrence of an "event of default" as hereinafter defined, if the premises
or any part thereof are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any
other remedies herein provided, or provided by law, may at its option collect
directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant under
such assignment or sublease and apply such rent against any due it by Tenant
hereunder, and no such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or
a release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations hereunder.
Landlord shall have the right to assign any of its rights under this lease. See
also Paragraph 25.B.

<PAGE>

     12. Fire and Casualty Damage.

     A. If the buildings situated on the premises should be damaged or destroyed
by fire, tornado, or any casualties covered by the insurance maintained
hereunder, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord.

     B. If the buildings situated on the premises should be totally destroyed by
fire, tornado or other casualty, or if they should be so damaged that rebuilding
or repairs cannot be completed within two hundred (200) days after the date upon
which Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, this lease shall terminate
and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this lease,
effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage.

     C. If the buildings situated on the premises should be damaged by fire,
tornado or other casualty, but only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs
can be completed within two hundred (200) days after the date upon which
Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, this lease shall not terminate,
but Landlord shall at its sole cost and expense proceed with reasonable
diligence to rebuild and repair such buildings, to substantially the condition
in which they existed prior to such damage, except that Landlord shall not be
required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures and
other improvements which may have been placed on the premises by Tenant. If the
premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage; the rent
payable hereunder during the period in which they are untenantable shall be
reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the
circumstances. In the event that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs
and rebuilding within two hundred (200) days after the date upon which Landlord
is notified by Tenant of such damage, Tenant may at its option terminate this
lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord as Tenant's
exclusive remedy, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and
determine, or to proceed to rebuild using its own funds.

     D. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the holder
of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the premises
requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this lease by delivering written
notice of termination to Tenant, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder
shall cease and determine.

     E. Any insurance which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or
damage to the buildings and other improvements situated on the premises shall be
for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole
control.

     F. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other from any and all
liability or responsibility to the other or any one claiming through or under
them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any loss or damage to property
caused by fire or any other perils covered by the insurance maintained
hereunder, even if such fire or other peril shall have been caused by the fault
or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be
responsible; provided, however, that this release shall be applicable and in
force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such times
as the releasor's policies shall contain a clause or endorsement to the affect
that any release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice
the right of the releasor to recover thereunder. Each of Landlord and Tenant
agrees that it will request its insurance carriers to include in its policies
such a clause or endorsement. If extra cost shall be charged therefore, each
party shall advise the other thereof and of the amount of the extra cost, and
the other party, at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated
to do so.

     G. Landlord covenants and agrees to maintain standard fire and extended
coverage insurance covering the building on the premises in an amount not less
than eighty percent (80%) of the replacement cost thereof. If the insurance
premiums for the fire and extended coverage and liability insurance carried by
Landlord shall exceed $1,499.95 per annum, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within
fifteen (15) days of Tenant's receipt of statement of such charges by the
insurance company the amount of such excess; and the failure to pay such excess
upon demand shall be treated in the same manner as a default in the payment of
rent hereunder when due.

     13. Liability. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or Tenant's
employees, agents, patrons or visitors, or to any other person whomsoever, for
any injury to person or damage to property on or about the premises, caused by
the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants or employees, or of
any other person entering upon the premises under express or implied invitation
of Tenant, or caused by the buildings and improvements located on the premises
becoming out of repair, or caused by leakage of gas, oil, water or steam or by
electricity, emanating from the premises, or due to any cause whatsoever, and
Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from any loss, expense
or claim, including attorneys' fees, arising out of any such damage or injury,
except injury to persons or damage to property the sole cause of which is the
negligence of the Landlord. Tenant shall procure and maintain throughout the
term of this lease a policy or policies of insurance, at its sole cost and
expense, insuring both Landlord and Tenant against all claims, demands or
actions arising out of or in connection with Tenant's use or occupancy of the
premises, or by the condition of the premises, the limits of such policy or
policies to be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence of
Bodily Injury or Property Damage or each offense of Personal injury or all
combined and $1,000,000 in the aggregate and to be written by insurance
companies qualified to do business in the state in which the premises are
located. Such policies or duly executed certificates of insurance shall be
promptly delivered to Landlord and renewals thereof as required shall be
delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the
respective policy terms.

     14. Condemnation.

     A. If the whole or any part of the premises should be taken for any public
or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right
of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof and the taking would
prevent or materially interfere with the use of the premises for the purpose for
which they are being used, this lease shall terminate and the rent shall be
abated during the unexpired portion of this lease, effective when the physical
taking of said premises shall occur.

     B. If part of the premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-pubic use
under any governmental law, or ordinance regulation, or by right of eminent
domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and this lease is not terminated
as provided in the subparagraph above, this lease shall not terminate but the
rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this lease shall be
reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the
circumstances.

     C. In the event of any such taking or private purchase in lieu thereof,
Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and retain such separate
awards and/or portion of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective
interests in any condemnation proceedings.

     15. Holding Over. Tenant will, at the termination of this lease by lapse of
time or otherwise, yield up immediate possession to Landlord. If Landlord agrees
in writing that Tenant may hold over after the expiration or termination of this
lease, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing on the terms of such
holding over, the hold over tenancy shall be subject to termination by Landlord
at any time upon not less than five (5) days advance written notice, or by
Tenant at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice,
and all of the other terms and provisions of this lease shall be applicable
during that period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord from time to time upon
demand, as rental for the period of any hold over, an amount equal to one and
one-half(1-1/2) times the rent in effect on the termination date, computed on a
daily basis for each day of the holdover period. No holding over by Tenant,
whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this lease
except as otherwise expressly provided. The preceding provisions of this
Paragraph 15. shall not be construed as Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold
over.

     16. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that it now has, or will acquire
before Tenant takes possession of the premises, good title to the premises, free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances, excepting only the lien for current
taxes not yet due, such mortgage or mortgages as are permitted by the terms of
this lease, zoning ordinances and other building and fire ordinances and
governmental regulations relating to the use of such property, and easements,
restrictions and other conditions of record. In the event this lease is a
sublease, then Tenant agrees to take the premises subject to the provisions of
the prior leases. Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and
authority to enter into this lease and that Tenant, upon paying the rental
herein set forth and performing its other covenants and agreements herein set
forth, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the premises for the
term hereof without hindrance or molestation from Landlord, Landlord's
successors and assigns, subject to the terms and provisions of this lease.

     17. Events of Default. The following events shall be deemed to be events of
default by Tenant under this lease:

     A. Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the rent herein reserved
when due, or any payment with respect to taxes hereunder when due, or any other
payment or reimbursement to Landlord required herein when due, and such failure
shall continue for a period of five (5) days from the date such payment was due.

     B. Tenant shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of
creditors, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

     C. Tenant shall file a petition, voluntary or involuntary, under any
section or chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act as amended, or under any
similar law or statute of the United States or any State thereof, or Tenant
shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant
hereunder.

     D. A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all
of the assets of Tenant.

<PAGE>

     E. Tenant shall desert or vacate any substantial portion of the premises.

     F. Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this
lease (other than the foregoing in this Paragraph 17.), and shall not cure such
failure within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to Tenant.

     18. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any of such events of default
described in Paragraph 17. hereof, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any
one or more of the following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever:

     A. Terminate this lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender
the premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails so to do, Landlord may, without
prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in
rent, enter upon and take possession of the premises and expel or remove Tenant
and any other person who may be occupying such premises or any part thereof, by
force if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages
therefor; and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss
and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether
through inability to relet the premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise.

     B. Enter upon and take possession of the premises and expel or remove
Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such premises or any part
thereof, by force if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any
claim for damages therefor, and relet the premises and receive the rent
therefor; and Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord on demand any deficiency that
may arise by reason of such reletting. In the event Landlord is successful in
reletting the premises at a rental in excess of that agreed to be paid by Tenant
pursuant to the terms of this lease, Landlord and Tenant each mutually agree
that Tenant shall not be entitled, under any circumstances, to such excess
rental, and Tenant does hereby specifically waive any claim to such excess
rental.

     C. Enter upon the premises by force, if necessary, without being liable for
prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and do whatever Tenant is
obligated to do under the terms of this lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting
compliance with Tenant's obligations under this lease, and Tenant further agrees
that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from
such action, whether caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise.

     In the event Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent hereunder, as and
when such installment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late
charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such installment; and the
failure to pay such amount within ten(10) days after demand therefor shall be an
event of default hereunder. The provision for such late charge should be in
addition to all of Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and
shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's remedies
in any manner.

     Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any
of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law, nor
shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of
any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by
reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein

     (b) Concurrently with the delivery of each set of financial statements
pursuant to Section 5.01(a), commencing with the fiscal year ending January 31,
2003, the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding Term Loans, in inverse order of
maturity, in an aggregate amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash
Flow, if any, as determined for the fiscal year then ended.

     (c) The Borrowers shall, on the date of receipt of Net Cash Proceeds by any
Loan Party from (A) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any assets
of any such Person having a fair market value at the time of such sale, lease,

of assets (i) which have an aggregate fair market value at least equal to the
Net Cash Proceeds received from such disposition, (ii) which are pledged to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.10 and no other Liens shall exist on

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Borrowers shall not be required to prepay the
Term Loans by more than $5,000,000 from the proceeds realized from the IPO
Transaction and (ii) such prepayment of the Term Loans from the proceeds
realized from the IPO Transaction shall be applied pro rata to all of the
remaining principal installments payable on the Term Loans.

     (d) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 11:00 a.m.,
Houston time, five Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal

receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of
the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied
ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Each prepayment of a
Term Borrowing shall be applied in the inverse order of maturity. All
prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest and, if the prepayment is
in respect of a Eurodollar Borrowing and is made on any day other than the last
day of the applicable Interest Period, such prepayment must be accompanied by
payment of all breakage costs and funding losses as provided for in Section

     SECTION 2.10. Fees.

     (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee Rate on

                                       31

<PAGE>

unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period
from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such
Commitment terminates. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the
last day of April, July, October and January of each year and on the date on
which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the date hereof; provided that any facility fees accruing after the date
on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day).

     (b) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Arranger an underwriting fee, which
shall be payable at closing and payable in the amounts and at the times
separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Arranger.

     (c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, administrative fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately
agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

     (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Arranger, in
the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees
and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under
any circumstances.

     SECTION 2.11. Interest.

     (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the
Alternate Base Rate.

     (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at
the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the applicable LIBO Rate Margin for the Interest
Period in effect for such Borrowing.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any
Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid
when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 3% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 3% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

     (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon
termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments; provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand,
(ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest
on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion.

                                       32

<PAGE>

     (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days, except that, interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at
times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each
case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate and LIBO
Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     SECTION 2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

     (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its
Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective,
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances
giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other
Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

     SECTION 2.13. Increased Costs.

     (a) If any Change in Law shall:

          (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
     similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
     or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
     reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

          (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
     condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay

                                       33

<PAGE>

to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

     (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as
a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level
below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's
policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

     (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

     (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to
demand such compensation.

     SECTION 2.14. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of
any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b)
the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or
prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto
then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the
loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar
Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an
amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such
event not occurred, at LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan,
for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current
Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such
Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it
to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable
amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of
any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

     SECTION 2.15. Taxes.

     (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be
required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or

                                       34

<PAGE>

Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative
Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall
make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to the Borrowers by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or
on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued
by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

     (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction
of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is
located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to
payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate.

     SECTION 2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

     (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Houston time, on
the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the
next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All
such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 712
Main Street, Houston, Texas 77002. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any
such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment
hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment
shall be

                                       35

<PAGE>

extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment
accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

     (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees
then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of
interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties,
and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among
the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then
due to such parties.

     (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim
or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any
of its Revolving or Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving or Term Loans and
accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then
the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Revolving or Term Loans of other Lenders to the
extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving and Term Loans; provided that (i)
if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for
the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee
or participant, other than to Parent or to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or
affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the
Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount
of such participation.

     (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lender, the amount due. In such event, if the
Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

                                       36

<PAGE>

     (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or 2.16(d), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under
such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Company Act of 1935, as amended.

     SECTION 3.11. Regulations G, U and X. None of the proceeds of any Loan will
be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, directly or indirectly, any
"margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System ("margin stock"), or to extend credit to others for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock, or for any other purpose
which would constitute this transaction a "purpose credit" within the meaning of
said Regulation U, as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be in effect.
No Loan Party nor any of their Subsidiaries will take or permit any action which
would involve the Lenders in a violation of Regulation G, Regulation U,
Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or a violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in each
case as now or hereafter in effect.

     SECTION 3.12. ERISA. No "reportable event" (as defined in Section 4043(b)
of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any Plan. Each Plan complies with all
applicable provisions of ERISA, and each Loan Party and each of their
Subsidiaries have filed all reports required by ERISA and the Code to be filed
with respect to each Plan. The Borrowers have no knowledge of any event which
could result in a liability of any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries to
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Each Loan Party and each of their
Subsidiaries have met all requirements with respect to funding the Plans imposed
by ERISA or the Code. Since the effective date of Title IV of ERISA, there have
not been any, nor are there now existing any, events or conditions that would
permit any Plan to be terminated under circumstances which would cause the lien
provided under Section 4068 of ERISA to attach to any property of any Loan Party
or any of their Subsidiaries The value of the Plans' benefits guaranteed under
Title IV of ERISA on the date hereof does not exceed the value of such Plans'
assets allocable to such benefits as of the date of this Agreement and shall not
be permitted to do so hereafter.

     SECTION 3.13. Disclosure. The Borrowers have disclosed to the Lenders all
agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which any Loan
Party or any of their Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to
it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements,
certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party or
any of their Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or in
connection herewith (as modified or supplemented by other information so
furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All estimates,
projections and pro forma financial information contained in materials hereafter
delivered to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any
of their Subsidiaries will be based upon assumptions believed by such Persons to
be reasonable as of the date of the preparation of the same. Nothing in this
Section 3.13 shall be construed as a representation, warranty or covenant that
any of such estimates, projections or pro forma financial information shall in
fact be achieved.

each retail sales location inventory levels in amounts consistent with ordinary
business practices and at levels sufficient for each Loan Party and each of
their Subsidiaries to operate the business in the ordinary course.

of any kind entitling any Person to purchase or otherwise acquire (i) any shares
of the capital stock of any such Subsidiary or (ii) any securities convertible
into or exchangeable for any shares of such capital stock. No securities are
outstanding which are convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital
stock of any such Subsidiary thereof.

     (b) Schedule 3.15(b) is a complete and correct list, as of the date hereof,
of the outstanding shares of each class of capital stock (or other equivalent
interest) of CAI, showing the percentage held by each holder thereof. Except as

all Liens or restrictions on transferability or voting, the percentage of
outstanding shares of CAI as shown on Schedule 3.15(b), and all shares of CAI

herein by this reference, is a true, correct and complete list and description

Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries (except for any such policies maintained
to provide benefits to employees under a benefit plan or arrangement described
elsewhere herein), all of which are in full force and effect. All premiums
thereon have been paid, and the Borrowers have received no notice of
cancellation with respect thereto. There are no claims pending under any of said
policies or bonds or disputes with underwriters. There are no pending or
threatened terminations of, or premium increases with respect to, any of such
policies and bonds and each Loan Party and each of their Subsidiaries are in
compliance with all conditions contained therein. The Borrowers have no reason
to believe that such insurance is not, or since the date of its inception has
not been, adequate with respect to risks normally insured against by comparable
companies similarly situated. The Borrowers have delivered to the Administrative
Agent true, complete and correct copies of all of the above-described insurance
policies.

     SECTION 3.17. Solvency. No Loan Party nor any of their Subsidiaries (i) is
"insolvent", as such term is used in the United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978,
as amended, and any successor statute, or the Texas Uniform Fraudulent Transfer
Act; (ii) is engaged in business or in a transaction, or is about to engage in
business or a transaction, for which its capital is unreasonably small, or (iii)
intends to incur, or believes it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as
they mature.

list, as of the date hereof, of all agreements or instruments evidencing
Indebtedness of each Loan Party and each of their Subsidiaries (other than the

                                   Conditions

     (b) Each Borrower will, and will cause the other Loan Parties and each of
their Subsidiaries to, promptly pay all income, franchise and other taxes owing
by the applicable Person and any stamp taxes or other taxes which may be

of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders, the Mortgaged Property or the Loan Documents, deducting from the value
of property for the purpose of taxation any lien or security interest thereon,
or imposing upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender the payment of the whole
or any part of the taxes or assessments or charges or Liens required by the Loan
Documents to be paid by any Loan Party, or changing in any way the laws relating
to the taxation of deeds of trust or mortgages or security agreements or debts
secured by deeds of trust or mortgages or security agreements or the interest of
the mortgagee or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of
collection of such taxes, so as to affect the Security Documents or the
indebtedness secured thereby or any Administrative Agent or any Lender, then,
and in any such event each Borrower will, upon demand by the Administrative
Agent, pay such taxes, assessments, charges or Liens, or reimburse the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders therefor to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

     SECTION 5.05. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance.

     (a) Each Borrower will, and will cause the other Loan Parties and each of
their Subsidiaries to, (i) keep and maintain its property in good working order
and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (ii) maintain, with
financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts
and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the
same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, and
furnish to the Administrative Agent, together with each delivery of financial
statements under Section 5.01(a), an Officer's Certificate containing full
information as to the insurance carried.

     (b) With respect to Mortgaged Property constituting real property, each
Borrower will maintain and cause the other Loan Parties and each of their
Subsidiaries to maintain the following insurance: (1) all-risk insurance with
respect to all such insurable Mortgaged Property, against loss or damage by
fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail, tornado and such hazards as are
presently included in so-called "all-risk" coverage, in an amount not less than
the amount in effect on the date of this Agreement and disclosed to the
Administrative Agent in writing; (2) if and to the extent any portion of such
Mortgaged Property is in a special flood hazard area, a flood insurance policy
in an amount equal to the lesser of the principal face amount of the Notes or
the maximum amount of flood insurance available; and (3) statutory worker's
compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about such Mortgaged
Property. All insurance policies shall require not less than thirty (30) days'
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of any cancellation or change
of coverage. All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, with
respect to such Mortgaged Property, except for public liability insurance, shall
provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution
from any other insurance that may be carried by any Loan Party or any of their
Subsidiaries or the Lenders and

                                       48

<PAGE>

that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall
operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each
insured. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or
other insurance required pursuant to this Section or any other Loan Document to
which any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries is a party becomes insolvent
or the subject of any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if in
the reasonable opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or
becomes inadequate, the Borrowers shall, or shall cause the applicable Person
to, in each instance promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent and
at Borrowers' expense, obtain and deliver to the Administrative Agent a like
policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by the Administrative Agent, a
certificate of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and policy
meet the requirements of this Section or such other Loan Document, as the case
may be. Without limiting the discretion of the Administrative Agent with respect
to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or
damage to such Mortgaged Property shall contain a standard mortgage clause
(without contribution) naming the Administrative Agent as mortgagee with loss
proceeds payable to the Administrative Agent notwithstanding (i) any act,
failure to act or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or
condition contained in any such policy by any named insured; (ii) the occupation
or use of such Mortgaged Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by
the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by the
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or
ownership of such Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, such proceeds to be
held for application as provided in the Loan Documents. The originals of each
initial insurance policy (or to the extent permitted by the Administrative
Agent, a copy of the original policy and a satisfactory certificate of
insurance) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent at the time of
execution of this Agreement, with premiums fully paid, and each renewal or
substitute policy (or certificate) shall be delivered to the Administrative
Agent with premiums fully paid, at least ten (10) days before the termination of
the policy it renews or replaces. Each Borrower shall pay, and cause the other
Loan Parties and each of their Subsidiaries to pay, all premiums on policies
required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to the

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                            The Administrative Agent

     Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as
its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.

     The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

     The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent

                                       64

<PAGE>

shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)
any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of
this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

     The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

     The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

     Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative
Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to
appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been

                                       65

<PAGE>

so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in Houston, Texas, or an affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance
of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent's
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative
Agent.

     SECTION 8.01. INDEMNIFICATION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY
HEREIN CONTAINED, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE FULLY JUSTIFIED IN FAILING
OR REFUSING TO TAKE ANY ACTION HEREUNDER UNLESS IT SHALL FIRST BE INDEMNIFIED TO
ITS SATISFACTION BY THE LENDERS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS,
LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, AND
DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED
BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR
ARISING OUT OF ITS TAKING OR CONTINUING TO TAKE ANY ACTION OR ITS REFRAINING TO
TAKE ANY ACTION. EACH LENDER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (TO
THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY THE BORROWERS OR ANY SUBSIDIARY), ACCORDING TO SUCH
LENDER'S COMMITMENTS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS,
LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, AND
DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED
BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR
ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT; PROVIDED THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE
LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES,
PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS
RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE PERSON BEING
INDEMNIFIED; AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF EACH LENDER TO
INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AGAINST THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S OWN NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE BE SOLE, JOINT,
CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER
AGREES TO REIMBURSE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS PRO
RATA PERCENTAGE OF ANY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES)
INCURRED BY THE

                                       66

<PAGE>

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR
ENFORCEMENT OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER,
ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS NOT REIMBURSED
FOR SUCH EXPENSES BY THE BORROWERS.

     Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time
to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                 Miscellaneous

     SECTION 9.01. Notices. Except in the case of notices and other
communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and
other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be
delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or
registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

     (a) if to the Borrowers, to Conn Appliances, Inc., Attention of Thomas J.
Frank (Telecopy No. (409) 832-4967);

     (b) if to the Administrative Agent, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, Attention of
Lindsey Whyte (Telecopy No. (713) 216-6004);

     (c) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and
other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

     SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.

     (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, and the
Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of

                                       67

<PAGE>

this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse
any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv)
change Section 2.16 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v)
except in connection with a sale, transfer or other disposition permitted
hereby, release any Collateral, (vi) release of Guarantor from its obligations,
or (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of
"Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent,
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

     (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation
and administration of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section, or in connection
with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during
any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

     (b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, and each
Lender, and each related party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person
being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including
the fees, charges and disbursements of

                                       68

<PAGE>

any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any indemnitee
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of:

          (i) the execution or delivery of this agreement or any agreement or
     instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of
     their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the
     transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby,

          (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom,

          (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials
     on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrowers or any of their
     Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
     Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries,

          (iv) any transaction, act, omission, event or circumstance in any way
     connected with the Mortgaged Property or with the Security Documents,
     including but not limited to any bodily injury or death or property damage
     occurring in or upon or in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property through
     any cause whatsoever any act performed or omitted to be performed
     hereunder, any breach by any Loan Party of any representation, warranty,
     covenant, agreement or condition contained in the Security Documents, any
     default as defined herein, and any claim under or with respect to any Lease
     (as defined in the Mortgages).

          (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
     proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract,
     tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
     party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
     Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
     liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
     jurisdiction by final and non appealable judgment to have resulted from the
     gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

     (c) To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such
Lender's per rata percentage of such unpaid amount in accordance with Section
8.01.

     (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not
assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

     (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 15

     SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

     (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each
Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in
the case of an assignment to a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender, each of the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to
such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment,
the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less
than $5,000,000 unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with (except in
the case of an assignment to a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender) a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire; and provided further that any consent of the Borrowers otherwise
required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant
to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (e) of this Section.

     (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Houston, Texas a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal
amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the

                                       70

<PAGE>

terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrowers, and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed
by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and
any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance
and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.

     (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
(a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.
Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

     (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers'
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the
Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section
2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

     (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not

                                       71

<PAGE>

apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no
such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto.

     SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans
regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf
and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at
the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any
fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid
and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, and the Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

     SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any
separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent
and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto,
and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

     SECTION 9.08. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender and each of its affiliates is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing
by such Lender or affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower
against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each

                                       72

<PAGE>

Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

     SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

     (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

     (b) EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR

RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR ITS
PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

     (c) EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY
NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN
PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

     (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process

will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.

     SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY

                                       73

<PAGE>

THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.12. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any Borrower makes a
payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the
Administrative Agent or any Lender enforces any security interest or exercises
its right of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any debtor law or
equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies
therefor, shall be revived and shall continue in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

     SECTION 9.13. Loan Agreement Controls. If there are any conflicts or
inconsistencies among this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the

the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together
with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such
Loan under applicable law (collectively, the "Charges"), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the "Highest Lawful Rate") which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Highest Lawful Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and
Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the
interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods
shall be increased (but not above the Highest Lawful Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

                                     FORM OF
                              LANDLORD'S AGREEMENT

          The undersigned, as lessor ("Lessor"), has entered into a lease (such
lease, including all amendments, modifications, renewals, and extensions
thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the "Lease"), with
                                         , as lessee ("Lessee"), with respect to
-----------------------------------------
the real property more particularly described on Exhibit "A" annexed hereto and
made a part hereof (the "Real Estate"). A true and complete copy of the Lease is
annexed hereto as Exhibit "B". The premises leased to Lessee by the Lease are
all or part of the Real Estate and are more particularly described in the Lease
(the "Premises").

          Lessor has been informed that JPMorgan Chase Bank, individually and as
Administrative Agent (the "Agent"), and the other financial institutions listed
on the signature pages of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the
Agent and all the foregoing, are collectively the "Lenders") are providing
certain loans to Lessee or to an affiliate of Lessee. In connection with such
financing, Lessee intends to grant to Lenders (i) a first leasehold deed of
trust or mortgage (the "Leasehold Mortgage") on Lessee's interest in the Lease
and (ii) a security interest (the "Security Interest") in and to Lessee's
interest in the property more particularly described in Exhibit "C" annexed
hereto and made a part hereof (all of such property being hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Collateral"), pursuant (i) to a Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among Conn Appliances, Inc. and certain of
its affiliates and Lenders, (ii) to various security agreements and pledge
agreements such as the one contained in the Leasehold Mortgage, and (iii) to
certain financing statements and other documents filed in connection therewith
((i), (ii), and (iii) collectively the "Loan Documents"). Lessor has also been
informed that owners of a majority of the issued and outstanding equity
interests in and to Lessee (the "Equity Interests") have pledged or will pledge
such Equity Interests as security for the above referenced financings.

          For Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee
hereby represent, warrant, and agree, for the benefit of Lenders, as follows:

     1. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Lease, Lessor
hereby consents (i) to pledge of the Equity Interests, (ii) to the grant of the
Leasehold Mortgage on Lessee's interest in the Lease to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders (or to a trustee for the benefit of the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders), and (iii) to the grant of the Security Interest in the
Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents. Lessor hereby further consents to the
(x) recording of the Leasehold Mortgage against the Real Estate and (y) filing
of any and all financing statements or other documents executed by Lessee and
required or permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which
the Real Estate is located in order to perfect the Leasehold Mortgage on
Lessee's interest in the Lease and the Security Interest in the Collateral. In
connection therewith, Lessor agrees to execute a memorandum or short form of the
Lease in recordable form and in such form as is reasonably required by Lenders
and is reasonably acceptable to Lessor.

     2. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows:

                                   EXHIBIT C

<PAGE>

          (a) promptly upon default by Lessee under the Lease, Lessor shall give
to the Agent written notice of such default at the following address (or at such
alternative address as the Agent may have given Lessor by prior written notice):

              JPMorgan Chase Bank
              712 Main Street
              Houston, Texas 77002
              Attn:
                   ----------------------

          (b) after receipt of the notice of default described in subsection
2(a) hereof, Lenders shall have the right to remedy any default of Lessee under
the Lease, or to cause any default of Lessee under the Lease to be remedied, and
for such purpose the undersigned hereby grants Lenders thirty (30) days for
remedying, or causing to be remedied, any such default which is a non-monetary
default, or such longer period of time as may be needed to complete such
remedying (provided that Lender has commenced to remedy such default within such
thirty (30) days and continues diligent prosecution of such remedying and
completes such remedying not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of the
notice described above), and fifteen (15) days to Lessee for remedying, or
causing to be remedied, any such default which is a monetary default. Those
defaults which, by their very nature, may not be cured by Lenders (as, for
example, the bankruptcy of Lessee) shall not constitute grounds of enforcement
of rights, recourses, or remedies under the Lease by Lessor, including
termination of the Lease, if the Agent assumes the obligations of Lessee under
the Lease and brings any deficiencies current within thirty (30) days after
written notice to the Agent by Lessor of the occurrence of such a default.
Lessor shall not exercise any remedies under the Lease on account of a default
by Lessee, until the applicable grace periods described in this subsection 2(b)
have expired;

          (c) Lessor shall accept performance by Lenders of any term, covenant,
condition or agreement to be performed by Lessee under the Lease with the same
force and effect as though performed by Lessee;

          (d) no material amendment, modification, waiver or consent in respect
of any of the provisions of the Lease shall be effective unless Agent shall have
joined in such amendment, modification, waiver or consent or shall have given
its prior consent thereto. An amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall
be deemed to be material if (i) it increases the rental or other sums due under
the Lease, (ii) it decreases the term of the Lease or (iii) it can otherwise
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Agent or the
holders of the indebtedness secured by the Leasehold Mortgage. The failure to
obtain the consent of the Agent to any nonmaterial amendment, modification,
waiver or consent shall not affect in any manner the effectiveness of such
nonmaterial amendment, modification, waiver or consent as between Lessor and
Lessee, but the same shall not be effective against the Agent or any assignee of
the Agent permitted hereunder. Agent shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
to any amendment, modification, waiver or consent.

          (e) in the event of the termination of the Lease prior to the
expiration of its terms by reason of disaffirmance or rejection pursuant to any
bankruptcy law, the Agent shall have the option to obtain a new lease of the
Premises by giving notice to Lessor to such effect

                                    EXHIBIT C

                                        2

<PAGE>

within thirty (30) days after such termination, so long as all sums which would
have at that time been due under the Lease but for such termination shall have
been paid and all other defaults, if any, under the Lease shall have been cured,
which new lease shall be (1) effective as of the date of termination of the
Lease, (2) for the remainder of the original term of the Lease (plus any renewal
terms), and (3) at the same rent and upon all of the agreements, terms,
covenants and conditions thereof;

          (f) neither the Agent nor the designee or nominee of the Agent shall
become liable under the Lease unless and until the Agent or its designee or
nominee becomes, and then only for so long as the Agent or its designee or
nominee remains, the owner of the leasehold estate created thereby; and

          (g) Lenders or their trustee or designee shall have the right, without
Lessor's consent, (i) to foreclose the Leasehold Mortgage or to accept
assignment of Lessee's interest in the Lease in lieu of foreclosure of the
Leasehold Mortgage; and (ii) to foreclose on the Equity Interests or to accept
assignment or endorsement of the Equity Interests, in lieu of foreclosure, or to
otherwise realize on its Security Interest in some or all of the Collateral. In
the event Lenders or their designee or nominee acquire Lessee's interest in the
Lease, either as a purchaser at any foreclosure sale or by reason of the
assignment of the Lease in lieu of foreclosure, Lenders or their designee or
nominee, as the case may be, shall have the right further to assign the Lease
only pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

     3. All of the Collateral shall be and remain subject to the Leasehold
Mortgage and to the Security Interest until such time as the Leasehold Mortgage
and the Security Interest shall be released by the Agent.

     4. Lessor hereby agrees that any lien for rent or similar charges, whether
arising by operation of law or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter to
arise, and each and every right which Lessor now has or hereafter may have,
either to levy or distrain upon the Collateral or to claim or assert title to
the Collateral, or make any other claim against the Collateral, whether under
the Lease or the laws of the State in which the Real Estate is located, or under
any other applicable Federal, State, municipal or local law, ordinance or
otherwise, or under any mortgage now in effect or hereafter executed, whether by
reason of a default under the Lease or otherwise, shall be subject and
subordinate in every respect to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Leasehold Mortgage and the Loan Documents and to the Security Interest in
the Collateral. Lenders and their agents and legal representatives (i) may
remove any or all of the Collateral located at the Real Estate from the Real
Estate (a) whenever Lenders, in their sole discretion, believe such removal is
necessary to protect the Security Interest in the Collateral; or (b) whenever
Lenders seek to sell or foreclose upon the Collateral; (ii) subject to the terms
and provisions of the Lease, shall have access to the Real Estate, the Premises,
and the Collateral at all times. Further, Lenders agree to indemnify and hold
Lessor harmless from any and all claims, damages, actions and causes of actions,
and costs and expenses incurred by Lessor as a result of Lenders' access to the
Premises and the removal of the Collateral therefrom.

     5. Lessor hereby recognizes and acknowledges that any claim that Lenders
may now have or hereafter have against the Collateral is and at all times shall
be and shall be deemed to be

                                    EXHIBIT C

                                        3

<PAGE>

superior to any lien, security interest or claim of any kind or nature
whatsoever which Lessor now has or hereafter may have against the Collateral,
whether by statute, the Lease or otherwise.

     6. Lenders may, without affecting the validity of this Agreement, increase
the amount of, or extend the time of payment of, any indebtedness of Lessee to
Lenders or alter the performance of any of the terms and conditions of any
agreement between Lessee and Lenders, including, without limitation, the
Leasehold Mortgage and the Loan Documents, without the consent of, or notice to,
Lessor and without in any manner whatsoever impairing or affecting the Leasehold
Mortgage or the Security Interest in the Collateral.

     7. Lessor represents, warrants and agrees that, as of the date hereof (i)
the Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) a true and complete copy of the
Lease is annexed hereto as Exhibit "B"; (iii) the Lease has not been modified,
supplemented or amended in any way whatsoever except as indicated herein or in
Exhibit "B"; (iv)(a) the monthly rent presently payable under the terms of the
Lease is $               and (b) no rent or other amounts payable by Lessee in
           -------------
addition to the base or fixed monthly rent (including, without limitation,
taxes, maintenance, operating expenses or otherwise) payable under the terms of
the Lease have been paid in since the Lease has not commenced; (v) Lessor has
not delivered or received any notices of default under the Lease and there are
no defaults under the Lease and no event has occurred which, with the giving of
notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default under the
Lease; (vi) no security deposit is presently held by Lessor under the Lease;
(vii) Lessor has obtained all the consents or approvals of any party necessary
or desirable to effectuate the terms of this Agreement; and (vii) to the best of
Lessor's knowledge, no mortgagee or holder of a lien on the Real Estate has any
security interest in the Collateral owned by Lessee now located or hereafter to
be located on any portion of the Premises.

     8. The rights of Lenders under this Agreement are in addition to, and
cumulative of, any rights granted to, or for the benefit of, Lenders under the
terms of the Lease. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Lenders and
their successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns of Lessor and Lessee.

as of the maturity hereof, whichever is lesser, in accordance with the terms and
provisions of that certain Credit Agreement dated as of                     ,

2003, by and among the Borrowers, the Lender, Bank of America, N.A.,
individually and as Documentation Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as
Administrative Agent (the "Agent") for itself and the other banks or financial
institutions (collectively, the "Lenders") that may hereafter become a party to
the hereinafter defined Credit Agreement (such agreement, together with any and
all amendments and modifications thereof, being hereinafter referred to as the
"Credit Agreement"; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement).

     The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be joint and several.

     The outstanding principal balance of this Term Note shall be due and
payable in installments as provided in the Credit Agreement. Each Borrower
promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Term Note from
the date of any Term Loan evidenced by this Term Note until the principal
balance hereof is paid in full. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of this Term Note from and including the date of any Term Loan
evidenced by this Term Note to but not including the Maturity Date at the rate
or rates, and shall be due and payable on the dates, set forth in the Credit
Agreement. Any amount not paid when due with respect to principal (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), costs or expenses, or, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, interest, shall bear interest from the date
when due to and excluding the date the same is paid in full, payable on demand,
at the rate provided for in Section 2.11(c) of the Credit Agreement.

     Payments of principal and interest, and all amounts due with respect to
costs and expenses, shall be made in lawful money of the United States of
America in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or
counterclaim to the Agent for the account of the Lender not later than 10:00
a.m. (Houston time) on the dates on which such payments shall become due
pursuant to the terms and provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     If any payment of principal or interest on this Term Note shall become due
on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday on which the Lender is not open for
business, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment.

                                    EXHIBIT F

<PAGE>

     In addition to all principal and accrued interest on this Term Note, each
Borrower agrees to pay (a) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by all
owners and holders of this Term Note in collecting this Term Note through any
probate, reorganization, bankruptcy or any other proceeding and (b) reasonable
attorneys' fees when and if this Term Note is placed in the hands of an attorney
for collection after default.

     All agreements between the Borrowers, the Lenders or the Agent whether now
existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
demand being made on this Term Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or
agreed to be paid, to the Lenders or the Agent for the use, forbearance, or
detention of the money to be loaned under the Credit Agreement and evidenced by
this Term Note or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any covenant or
obligation contained in the Credit Agreement, this Term Note or in any other
Loan Document exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If, as a result of any
circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of such
documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve
transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law, then,
ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such
validity, and if, from any such circumstance, the Lender shall ever receive
interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which
would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such amount which would be excessive
interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on
account of this Term Note or the amounts owing on other obligations of the
Borrowers to the Lenders and the Agent under any Loan Document and not to the
payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal
balance of this Term Note and the amounts owing on other obligations of the
Borrowers to the Lenders or the Agent under any Loan Documents, as the case may
be, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether or
not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the
Highest Lawful Rate, each applicable Borrower and the Lender shall, to the
maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal
payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate,
allocate and spread, during the period of the full stated term of this Term
Note, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in
connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Term Note.

     This Term Note is one of the Notes provided for in, and is entitled to the
benefits of the Credit Agreement, which Credit Agreement, among other things,
contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening
of certain stated events, for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior
to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions and with the effect therein
specified, and provisions to the effect that no provision of the Credit
Agreement or this Term Note shall require the payment or permit the collection
of interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. The obligations of the
Borrowers hereunder are secured by the Security Documents executed by the
respective Borrowers and the other Loan Parties.

     Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Credit Agreement, each
Borrower and any and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties severally waive
grace, demand, presentment

     THIS TERM NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Borrower has caused this Term Note to be executed

first above written.
