Stock to generate funds to pay the tax; and

tax payment due from Employee on or about such date.
B. Employee agrees not to sell the Restricted Stock prior to April 20,
2001.
C. Employee shall repay the Loan to the Company on the earlier to occur of
the following dates:
1. the date Employee sells the Restricted Stock, in which event
the Company shall deduct the Loan amount from the proceeds of
such sale; or

Company's Executive Bonus Program, in which event the Company
shall deduct the Loan amount from that bonus payment; or

within 30 days of the event.
D. By executing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges Company's right to
deduct the Loan amount from any amounts owed to Employee as set forth
above without further notice or authorization. Employee further
authorizes Company to deduct any amount not paid when due hereunder
from any amount owing by the Company to Employee.
E. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Texas and may be executed in multiple counterparts each of
which shall constitute an original but all of which together shall
constitute the same agreement.

So agreed.
