Dear  Ladies  and  Gentlemen:

     Weingarten  Realty  Investors,  a  Texas  real estate investment trust (the
"Company"),  confirms  its  agreement  with the entities set forth on Schedule 1
                                                                      ----------
hereto  (collectively,  the  "Initial Purchasers," which term shall also include
any  initial  purchaser  substituted as provided in Section 11 hereof), for whom
Banc  of  America  Securities LLC is acting as representative (in such capacity,
the  "Representative"), with respect to the sale by the Company and the purchase
by  the  Initial  Purchasers,  acting severally and not jointly, of $200,000,000
aggregate  principal  amount  of  7%  Notes  due  2011  (the "Securities").  The
Securities  will  be  issued  under  an  Indenture,  dated as of May 1, 1995 (as
amended,  modified  or supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), between
the Company (as defined below) and Chase Bank of Texas, National Association, as
trustee (the "Trustee").  Securities issued in book-entry form will be issued to
Cede  &  Co.  as  nominee  of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") pursuant to a
letter  agreement,  to  be  dated  as of the Closing Time (as defined in Section
2(c)) (the "DTC Agreement"), among the Company, the Trustee and DTC.  Unless the
context  otherwise  requires,  as  used  herein, "you" and "your" shall mean the
parties  to  whom  this  Purchase  Agreement  (this  "Agreement")  is addressed.
Capitalized  terms  used  herein  without  definition  shall  have  the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Offering Memorandum (as defined below) relating to
the  Securities.

<PAGE>

     The  Securities  will  be  offered and sold to you without being registered
under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933, as amended (the "Securities Act" or "1933
Act"), in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements thereof.
The  Company  will  prepare  a  final offering memorandum dated the date hereof,
setting  forth  or  including  a description of the terms of the Securities, the
terms  of  the  offering,  a  description  of  the  Company  and  any  material
developments relating to the Company occurring after the date of the most recent
financial  statements included or incorporated by reference therein.  As used in
this  Agreement "Offering Memorandum" shall mean such final Offering Memorandum,
as  amended or supplemented, including any information incorporated by reference
therein.  The  Company  hereby  confirms  that  it has authorized the use of the
Offering  Memorandum  and  any  amendments and supplements thereto in connection
with  the  Exempt  Resales  (as  defined  below)  by  the  Initial  Purchasers.

You  have  advised  the  Company  that you will offer (the "Exempt Resales") the
Securities  purchased  by  you  hereunder on the terms set forth in the Offering
Memorandum  solely  to  persons  (each,  a "144A Purchaser") whom you reasonably
believe  to  be "qualified institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule 144A ("Rule
144A")  under the Securities Act) (such persons being referred to hereinafter as
the  "Eligible  Purchasers").  Pursuant  to  the terms of the Securities and the
Indenture,  respectively,  investors  that acquire Securities may only resell or
otherwise  transfer  such Securities if such Securities are hereafter registered
under  the  Securities Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements
of  the  Securities  Act  is available (including the exemption afforded by Rule
144A  of  the  rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act by the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")).  You will offer the
Securities to Eligible Purchasers at varying prices related to prevailing market
prices  at  the  time  of  sale.

Holders  (including  subsequent  transferees)  of  the  Securities will have the
registration  rights  set  forth in the registration rights agreement, dated the
date  hereof  (the  "Registration  Rights  Agreement"),  for  so  long  as  such
Securities  constitute  "Registrable  Securities" as defined in the Registration
Rights  Agreement.  Pursuant  to  the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company
will agree to file with the Commission under the circumstances set forth therein
(i)  a  registration  statement  under  the  Securities Act (the "Exchange Offer
Registration  Statement")  relating to notes of the Company with terms identical
in  all  material  respects  to the Securities (the "Exchange Offer Securities")
(except  that  the Exchange Offer Securities will not contain terms with respect
to  the  transfer  restrictions  under  the  Securities Act or the provision for
Penalty  Interest  (as  defined  in  the  Offering  Memorandum)  under  certain
circumstances)  to  be  offered  in  exchange for the Securities (such offers to
exchange  being collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Registered Exchange
Offer"),  or,  under  certain circumstances, (ii) a shelf registration statement
pursuant  to  Rule  415  under  the  Securities  Act  (the  "Shelf  Registration
Statement") relating to the resale of the Securities by certain holders, and, in
either  case,  to  use  its reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective.

     Section 1.  Representations  and  Warranties.
                 --------------------------------

(a)  The  Company  represents and warrants to each of the Initial Purchasers, as

fact  necessary  in  order  to  make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances  under  which  they  were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that  this  representation  and  warranty  shall  not  apply to statements in or

agent  (provided  that no representation is made as to the Initial Purchasers or
any person acting on their behalf), (A) sold, offered for sale, solicited offers
to  buy  or  otherwise negotiated in respect of, any security (as defined in the
Securities  Act)  which is or will be integrated with the sale of the Securities

consolidated  subsidiaries  as  of  the  dates  indicated  and  the  results  of

or governmental proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a
party  or  of  which  any  property  or  assets  of  the  Company  or any of its

<PAGE>

facilitation  of  the  sale  or  resale  of  the  Securities.

(xxiv)  Title  to  Property.  Except  as  otherwise disclosed  in  the  Offering
Memorandum  and  except  as  would  not  have  a  material adverse effect on the
condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business
prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise:
(A) the Company or its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple
to  all  real  property and improvements described in the Offering Memorandum as
being  owned  in  fee  and, at the Closing Time, the Company or its subsidiaries
will  have  good  and  marketable  title  in fee simple to all real property and

all  defects  by  such  joint  venture;  (C)  none of the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries  or,  to the knowledge of the Company, any lessee of any portion of
the  real  property  or  improvements  owned  by  the  Company  or  any  of  its
subsidiaries,  is  in  default  under  any  of  the leases pursuant to which the
Company  or  any  of its subsidiaries leases such real property or improvements,
and  neither  the  Company nor its subsidiaries know of any event which, but for
the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default
under  any  of such leases, except such defaults that would not, individually or
in  the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or
otherwise,  or  the  earnings,  business  affairs  or  business prospects of the
Company  and  its  subsidiaries  considered  as  one  enterprise;  (D) except as
disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, no tenant under any of the leases pursuant
to  which the Company or any of its subsidiaries leases any of its real property
or improvements has an option or right of first refusal to purchase the premises
demised  under  such  lease; (E) all the real property and improvements owned by
the Company or its subsidiaries comply with all applicable codes and zoning laws

or  otherwise,  or  the  earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
Company  and  its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; and (F) neither the
Company  nor  its  subsidiaries  have any knowledge of any pending or threatened
condemnation,  zoning  change  or  other  proceeding or action that would in any

subsidiaries.

                                     Page 8
<PAGE>

(xxv)  Title  Insurance.  The Company or its subsidiaries has title insurance on
each  Property indicated in the Offering Memorandum as being owned in fee by the
Company  (except  with  respect  to  each  Property  described  in  the Offering
Memorandum  as  held  by the Company through a joint venture) in each case in an
amount at least equal to (A) the cost of acquisition of such Property or (B) the
cost of construction of the improvements located on such Property (measured
at  the  time  of such construction), except, in each case, where the failure to
maintain  such  title  insurance would not have a material adverse effect on the
condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business
prospects  of  the  Company  and  its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.

(xxvi)  Environmental  Laws.  Although the Company is  aware  of the presence of
hazardous  substances,  hazardous materials, toxic substances or waste materials
("Hazardous  Materials")  on  certain of its properties, nothing has come to the
attention  of the Company which, at this time, would lead the Company to believe
that the presence of such Hazardous Materials, when considered in the aggregate,
would  materially  adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.
In  connection  with  the construction on or operation and use of the properties

offering of which security will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in

Securities  Act  or  render  invalid  any  exemption  from  the  registration
requirements  under  the  Securities  Act  in  respect  of  the  Securities.

Purchasers  to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement

stabilization  or  manipulation  of  the price of any security of the Company to
facilitate  the sale or resale of the Securities, (ii) sell, bid for or purchase
the  Securities  or  pay any person any compensation for soliciting purchases of
the  Securities  or (iii) pay or agree to pay to any person any compensation for
soliciting  another  to  purchase  any  other  securities  of  the  Company.

Memorandum  for  them  to  be  in  conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles  or that such unaudited financial statements do not comply as to form
in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the 1934
Act and the 1934 Act Regulations, or (B) at a specified date not more than three
days  prior  to  Closing  Time,  there has been any change in the capital of the
Company  or  the Company or in the consolidated long term debt of the Company or
the  Company or any decrease in consolidated net current assets or net assets of
the  Company  or  the  Company,  as  compared with the amounts shown in the most

reference  in the Offering Memorandum or, during the period from the date of the
most  recent  consolidated  statement  of operations included or incorporated by
reference  in  the  Offering  Memorandum to a specified date not more than three

                                    Page 17
<PAGE>

changes,  increases  or  decreases  which  the Offering Memorandum disclose have
occurred  or  may  occur; and (iv) in addition to the examination referred to in
their opinion and the limited procedures referred to in clause (iii) above, they
have  carried  out certain specified procedures, not constituting an audit, with
respect  to  certain  amounts,  percentages  and financial information which are
included  or  incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum and which are
specified  by  you,  and  have  found  such  amounts,  percentages and financial
information to be in agreement with the relevant accounting, financial and other
records  of  the Company and its subsidiaries, as the case may be, identified in
such  letter.

(e)     At Closing Time, counsel  for  the  Initial  Purchasers  shall have been
furnished  with  such documents and opinions as they may require for the purpose
of  enabling  them  to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Securities and the
Exchange Offer Notes as herein contemplated and related proceedings, or in order
to  evidence  the  accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or
the  fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings
taken  by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities
and  the  Exchange  Offer Notes, as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in
form  and  substance  to  you  and  counsel  for  the  Initial  Purchasers.

(f)     At  or prior to  the Closing Time, the Securities shall be rated "A3" by
Moody's  and  "A"  by  S&P  and  the Company shall have delivered to the Initial
Purchasers  evidence satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, confirming that the
Securities  have  such ratings; and since the date of the Agreement, there shall
not  have occurred a downgrading in the rating assigned to the Securities by any
"nationally  recognized statistical rating organization" as that term is defined
by  the  Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act, and
no such securities rating organization shall have publicly announced that it has
under  surveillance  or  review  any  rating  of  the  Securities.

     If  any  condition  specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled
when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by you by
notice  to  the  Company  at  any  time at or prior to the Closing Time and such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as
provided  in  Section  4  hereof  and  except that Sections 7, 8, 9 and 14 shall
survive  any  such  termination  and  remain  in  full  force  and  effect.

     Section 6.  Subsequent  Offers  and  Resales  of  the Securities.   Each of
                 ----------------------------------------------------
the  Initial Purchasers and the Company hereby establishes and agrees to observe
the  following  procedures  in  connection  with  the  offer  and  sale  of  the
Securities:

(a)     Offers  and  sales of  the  Securities  will  be  made  by  the  Initial
Purchasers  only  to persons that are reasonably believed to qualify as Eligible
Purchasers.

(b)     None of the Initial  Purchasers nor any affiliate thereof (as defined in
Rule  501(b)  of Regulation D) may solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell the
Securities  by  means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising
(within  the  meaning  of  Regulation  D).

(c)     In the case of a non-bank purchaser of a Security acting as a fiduciary
for one  or  more  third  parties, in connection with an offer and sale to such

                                    Page 18
<PAGE>

purchaser  pursuant to clause (a) above, each third party shall, in the judgment
of  the  applicable  Initial  Purchaser,  be  an  Eligible  Purchaser.

(d)     No  sale  of  Securities to any one  purchaser  shall  be  for less than
$100,000  principal  amount.  No Securities will be issued in a principal amount
less than $100,000. If the purchaser is a non-bank fiduciary acting on behalf of
others,  each  person  for  whom  it  is  acting must purchase at least $100,000
principal  amount  of  the  Securities.

(e)     The transfer restrictions and  the  other  provisions  set  forth in the
Offering  Memorandum,  including the legend required thereby, shall apply to the
Securities except as otherwise agreed by the Company and the Initial Purchasers.
Following  the  sale  of  the  Securities  by  the  Initial  Purchasers  to
subsequent purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall
not  be  liable  or  responsible  to  the  Company  for  any  losses, damages or
liabilities  suffered  or incurred by the Company, including any losses, damages
or  liabilities under the Securities Act, arising from or relating to any resale
or  transfer  of  any  Security.

(f)     In connection with its original placement of the Securities, the Company
agrees  that,  prior  to  any  offer  or resale of the Securities by the Initial
Purchasers,  the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall
have  the  right to make reasonable due diligence inquiries into the business of
the Company and its subsidiaries.  The Company also agrees to provide answers to
each  prospective  subsequent  purchaser  of  Securities  who  so  requests
concerning the Company and its subsidiaries (to the extent that such information
is available to prospective subsequent purchasers without unreasonable effort or
expense  and to the extent the provision thereof is not prohibited by applicable
law) and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities, as provided
in  the  Offering  Memorandum.

(g)     Until  the expiration of two  years  after  the original issuance of the
Securities, the Company will not, and will cause its affiliates not, to purchase
or  agree  to  purchase  or  otherwise  acquire  any  Securities  which are
"restricted  securities" (as such term is defined under Rule 144(a)(3) under the
Securities  Act),  whether  as  beneficial  owner  or otherwise (except as agent
acting  as  a securities broker on behalf of and for the account of customers in
the  ordinary  course  of business in unsolicited broker's transactions) unless,
immediately  upon  any  such purchase, the Company or any affiliate shall submit
such  Securities  to  the  Trustee  for  cancellation.

     Section 7.  Indemnification.   1.  The Company hereby agrees  to  indemnify
                 ---------------
and  hold  harmless each Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls
any  Initial  Purchaser  within  the  meaning  of  Section 15 of the 1933 Act as
follows:

(i)     against  any  and  all  loss,  liability,  claim,  damage  and  expense
whatsoever,  as  incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement  of  a  material  fact  contained  in  the Offering Memorandum (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission, or alleged omission therefrom
of  a  material  fact  necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light  of  the  circumstances  under  which  they  were  made,  not  misleading;

(ii)     against  any  and  all  loss,  liability,  claim,  damage  and  expense
whatsoever,  as  incurred,  to  the  extent  of  the  aggregate  amount  paid in

                                    Page 19
<PAGE>

settlement  of  any  litigation,  or  any  investigation  or  proceeding  by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever
based  upon  any  such  untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement  or  omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent
of  the  indemnifying  party;  and

(iii)     against  any  and  all  expense  whatsoever  (including, the fees  and
disbursements  of  counsel  chosen by the Representative) reasonably incurred in
investigating,  preparing  or  defending  against  any  litigation,  or  any
investigation  or  proceedings  by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened,  or  any  claim  whatsoever  based upon any such untrue statement or
omission,  or  any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that
any  such  expense  is  not  paid  under  (i)  or  (ii)  above;

provided,  however,  that  this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
--------   -------
liability,  claim,  damage  or  expense  to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement  or  omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon  and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any
Initial  Purchaser  through you expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum (or
any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto).

(b)     Each  Initial Purchaser severally agrees to indemnify and hold  harmless
the  Company  and the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company
or the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any and
all  loss,  liability,  claim,  damage  and  expense  described in the indemnity
contained  in  subsection  (a)  of this Section, but only with respect to untrue
statements  or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the
Offering  Memorandum  (or  any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon
and  in  conformity  with  written  information furnished to the Company by such
Initial  Purchaser  through you expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum (or
any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto).

(c)     Each  indemnified  party  shall give  notice  as  promptly as reasonably
practicable  to  each  indemnifying  party of any action commenced against it in
respect  of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an
indemnifying  party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability
which  it  may  have  otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement.  An
indemnifying  party  may  participate  at its own expense in the defense of such
action.  If  it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice,
an  indemnifying  party,  jointly  with any other indemnifying parties receiving
such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and
approved  by  the indemnified parties defendant in such action, unless such
indemnified  parties  reasonably  object  to  such assumption on the ground that
there  may  be  legal  defenses available to them which are different from or in
addition  to  those  available  to  such indemnifying party.  If an indemnifying
party  assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying parties shall not be
liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred
thereafter  in  connection  with such action. In no event shall the indemnifying
parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to
any  local  counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties
in  connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in
the  same  jurisdiction  arising  out  of  the  same  general  allegations  or
circumstances.

     Section 8.  Contribution.   In  order  to  provide  for  just and equitable
                 ------------
contribution incircumstances  in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
Section  7 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties
although  applicable  in  accordance with its terms, the Company on the one hand
and  the  Initial  Purchasers  on  the  other  shall contribute to the aggregate
losses,  liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by
said  indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and the Initial Purchasers, as
incurred,  in  such  proportions that the Initial Purchasers are responsible for
that  portion  represented  by the percentage that the discount appearing on the
cover  page  of the applicable Offering Memorandum bears to the initial offering
price  appearing  thereon  and  the  Company  is  responsible  for  the balance;
provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
--------  -------
the  meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from  any  person  who  was  not  guilty  of  such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Notwithstanding  the provisions of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser shall be
required  to  contribute  any  amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Securities purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement exceeds
the  amount  of  any  damages  which  such  Initial Purchaser has otherwise been
required  to  pay  in  respect  of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and
expenses.  For  purposes  of  this Section, each person, if any, who controls an
Initial  Purchaser  within  the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have
the  same  rights  to contribution as such Initial Purchaser and each person, if
any,  who  controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
shall  have  the  same  rights  to  contribution  as  the  Company.  The Initial
Purchasers'  obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in
proportion  to their respective purchase commitments and not joint. For purposes
of  this  Section  8, the Company and its subsidiaries shall be deemed one party
jointly  and  severally  liable  for  any  obligations  hereunder.

     Section 9.  Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.
                 --------------------------------------------------------------
All representations,  warranties and agreements contained in  this Agreement, or
contained  in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto,
shall  remain  operative  and  in  full  force  and  effect,  regardless  of any
termination  of  this  Agreement,  or  investigation made by or on behalf of any
Initial  Purchaser or any controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company,
and  shall  survive  delivery  of  and  payment  for  the  Securities.

     Section 10. Termination  of  Agreement.
                 --------------------------

(a)     You may also terminate  this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any
time  at  or  prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the date of
this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the  Offering  Memorandum,  any  material  adverse change in the condition,
financial  or  otherwise,  or  in  the  earnings,  business  affairs or business
prospects  of  the  Company  and  any  of  its  subsidiaries  considered  as one
enterprise,  whether  or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii)
if  there  has  occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in
the  United  States  or  elsewhere  or any outbreak of hostilities or escalation
thereof  or  other calamity or crisis the effect of which is such as to make it,
in  your  judgment,  impracticable to market the Securities or enforce contracts
for  the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any of the securities of
the  Company  has  been  suspended  or limited by the Commission or the New York
Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on either the New York Stock Exchange or
the American Stock Exchange has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum
prices  for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities

                                    Page 21
<PAGE>

have been required, by either of said Exchanges or by order of the Commission or
any  other  governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium has been declared
by  either  Federal  or New York authorities, or (iv) the rating assigned by any
nationally  recognized  statistical rating organization to any securities of the
Company  as  of  the date of this Agreement shall have been lowered or withdrawn
since such date or if any such rating organization shall have publicly announced
that  it  has placed any securities of the Company under surveillance or review.

(b)     If  this  Agreement  is  terminated pursuant to this  Section  10,  such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as
provided  in Sections 4 and 11 hereof and provided further that Sections 4,
7,  8,  9  and 14 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force
and  effect.

     Section 11. Default  by  One or More of the Initial Purchasers.  If  one or
                 --------------------------------------------------
more  of  the  Initial Purchasers shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the
Securities  which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the
"Defaulted  Securities"),  then  you  shall  have  the  right,  within  24 hours
thereafter,  to  make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Initial
Purchasers,  or any other initial purchasers, to purchase all, but not less than
all,  of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon
the  terms  herein  set  forth;  if,  however, you shall not have completed such
arrangements  within  such  24-hour  period,  then:

(a)     if  the  aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not
exceed  10%  of  the  aggregate  principal  amount of Securities to be purchased
pursuant  to  this  Agreement,  the  non-defaulting  Initial Purchasers shall be
obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the
proportions  that their respective obligations hereunder bear to the obligations
of  all  non-defaulting  Initial  Purchasers,  or

(b)     if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of
the  aggregate  principal  amount of Securities to be purchased pursuant to this
Agreement,  this  Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting  Initial  Purchasers.

     No  action  taken  pursuant  to  this  Section shall relieve any defaulting
Initial  Purchasers  from  liability  in  respect  of  its  default  under  this
Agreement.

     In  the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of
this  Agreement,  either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the
Closing  Time  for  a  period  not  exceeding  seven days in order to effect any
required  changes  in  the  Offering  Memorandum  or  in  any other documents or
arrangements.  As  used herein, the term "Initial Purchaser" includes any person
substituted  for  an  Initial  Purchaser  under  this  Section  11.

     Section 12. Notices.   All notices and other communications hereunder shall
                 -------
be  in  writing  and  shall  be  deemed  to  have  been  duly given if mailed or
transmitted  by  any  standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Initial
Purchasers  shall be directed to them c/o Banc of America Securities LLC at Bank

expressed  or  mentioned  in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to

purchase.
