                           MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before QUINN, C.J., and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.

      I concur. As noted by the majority, each guaranty included a passage whereby

the guarantor agreed to guarantee the payment of "rent and all other amounts

payable . . ." as well as the "performance by the Lessee of all of the Lessee's other

obligations under the Lease." (Emphasis in majority’s opinion). Agreeing within the

lease to adjudicate all claims in Texas is no less of an "obligation" imposed on the
lessee than the obligation to pay rent for the items leased.             Consequently, the

guarantors were also bound to perform that obligation.
