("Original Premises") located on the entire 17th, 22nd, 23rd,

City of Dallas, Texas;
WHEREAS, the Lease expires on October 31, 2006; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to,
among other things, temporarily expand the Original Premises by
an additional 3,858 rentable square feet of area on the 16th
floor of the Building as shown on EXHIBIT "A" to this Second

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to amend the Lease as follows:
1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined, all defined terms in
this Second Amendment have the same meaning as in the Lease.
2. Premises. Beginning on May 27, 1997, and continuing only
until and including December 31, 1997, the Premises as described
in the Basic Office Lease Information incorporated into the Lease
will increase by 3,858 rentable square feet of area so that the
Premises will total 134,464 rentable square feet of area as
depicted on Exhibit "A" to this Second Amendment. From and after
January 1, 1998, the Premises will revert to the Original
Premises, and Tenant shall have no further right to occupy the
Temporary Premises. If Tenant fails to vacate the Temporary
Premises by December 31, 1997, then Tenant shall be a tenant at
will with respect to the Temporary Premises, and the provisions
of Section 22 of the Lease entitled "Holding Over" will apply to
Tenant's occupancy of the Temporary Premises.
3. Term. The Term of the Lease remains unchanged by this
Second Amendment.
4. Basic Rental. Beginning on May 27, 1997, and continuing
only until and including December 31, 1997, Tenant shall pay
Landlord Basic Rental for the Temporary Premises in the manner
provided in Section 4.a of the Lease at the annual rate of $14.50
per rentable square foot of area within the Temporary Premises

continuing only until and including December 31, 1997, Tenant, in
addition to the Basic Rental set forth above, shall pay Landlord
in the manner provided for in the Lease all other amounts due
under the Lease applicable to the Temporary Premises, including,
without limitation, the amounts set forth in Section 4.c, 4.d,
and 4.e of the Lease. Nothing in this Second Amendment affects
the payment of Basic Rental or other sums due under the Lease for
the Original Premises, the payment of which is governed by the
terms of the Lease.
5. Tenant Improvements; As is. Tenant agrees to accept the
Temporary Premises in its "as is" condition as of the date of
this Second Amendment without any representation or warranty from
Landlord with respect to its condition or its suitability for any
particular purpose. Landlord has no obligation to construct any
tenant improvements within the Temporary Premises, and any tenant
improvements constructed therein by Tenant will be subject to all
terms and provisions of the Lease, including, without limitation,
the provisions of Section 8 thereof.
6. Brokerage. Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with
any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or
execution of the Lease or this Second Amendment other than with

agree to indemnify each other and hold each other harmless from
and against any and all costs (including investigation and
defense costs) and expenses, claims for commissions or other
payments by any broker or agent who alleges to have performed
services on behalf of the indemnifying party.
7. Management Company. Tenant acknowledges that Xxxxxxxx
Properties Limited, Inc. is the Building's management and leasing
agent.

provisions of the Lease, embody the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot be
varied except by written agreement of the parties.

12. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the

Lease, the provisions of this Second Amendment will govern and
control.

Temporary Premises and will continue in full force and effect and
