Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000) or so much thereof as remains unpaid from
time to time ("Non-Interest Bearing Portion"), and (b) an interest bearing

except only the Non-Interest Bearing Portion ("Interest Bearing Portion"). The
Interest Bearing Portion shall bear interest at the Interest Rate for the period

Portion shall not bear interest unless and until a Default occurs. At Payee's
option, the entire Outstanding principal Balance, including the Non-Interest
Bearing Portion and the Interest Bearing Portion, shall bear interest at the
Default Rate from and after a Default. Any and all payments, Rents and other
amounts received by Payee shall be applied by Payee in such manner and to such
indebtedness (whether to payment of advances made by Payee pursuant to any
provision of any of the Loan Documents, contributions to any reserves, interest,
principal, Late Charges, interest at the Default Rate, prepayment premiums, Fees
and Expenses or otherwise) first, under the Loan Documents A, and second under

Loan Documents A and Loan Documents B as Payee may determine in the exercise of
its sole and absolute discretion, and Payee shall be fully entitled, in its
discretion, to apply any such payments, Rents and other amounts to the Interest
Bearing Portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and any other indebtedness and obligations under the Loan
Documents prior to applying any such amounts to the Non-Interest Bearing
Portion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Payee agrees that
upon the occurrence of any sale or other transfer of the Premises or any
interests therein or in the Maker, in a sale, refinance or other transaction
approved by Payee prior to the Maturity Date ("Sale or Refinance") and provided
(i) there is no Default under the Loan Documents which remains uncured, (ii)
Maker has paid and discharged in full all indebtedness and obligations under the
Loan Documents (whether to payment of advances made by Payee pursuant to any
provision of any of the Loan Documents, contributions to any reserves, interest,
principal, Late Charges, interest at the Default Rate, prepayment premiums, Fees
and Expenses or otherwise), other than the Non-Interest Bearing Portion, then
Maker shall be entitled to retain up to, but not in excess of $540,000 of the
Net Proceeds prior to application of such Net Proceeds to payment of the Non-
Interest Bearing Portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance, and if and to the
extent that such remaining Net Proceeds are insufficient to pay the Non-Interest
Bearing Portion in full, Payee agrees to forgive the shortfall (but no amount
other than such shortfall) in such payment. In no event shall the aforesaid sum
of $540,000 bear interest.
3. PAYMENT SCHEDULE. From and after the Effective Date, Section 2.1 of
the Note is hereby revised to include the following new provisions:
(b) Commencing on March 1, 1998, and continuing on the first day
of each consecutive calendar month thereafter, Maker shall make
monthly payments of interest only, in arrears, calculated at the
Interest Rate on the Interest Bearing Portion of the Outstanding
Principal Balance.
(c) If and to the extent there is any Excess Cash Collateral, as
defined in and pursuant to Paragraph 3(c) of the Cash Management
Agreement, Maker shall remit to Payee all Excess Cash Collateral on or
before the twentieth (20th) day after the end of each calendar year,
for the preceding calendar year, to be applied by Payee to principal,
interest, advances, and other sums or charges first, under the Loan
Documents A, and second, under Loan Documents B, in such order,
proportion and priority as Payee with respect to each of the Loan
Documents A and Loan Documents A, in its sole and absolute discretion,
deems appropriate.
4. PAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT. From and after the Effective Date, the phrase
"Fees and Expenses or any other sums and charges," shall be inserted after the
defined term "Outstanding Principal Balance" in line 190 of the Note, and the
text commencing with the word "unless" in line 184 through the word "payment" in
line 186 of the Note are hereby deleted. The following provision shall be added
to the end of Section 2.6 of the Note:
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of any of the other Loan
Documents, from and after the occurrence of a Default, all payments,
Rents and other amounts received by Payee may be applied by Payee in
such manner and to such indebtedness (whether to payment of advances
made by Payee pursuant to any provision of any of the Loan Documents,
contributions to any reserves, interest, principal, Late Charges,
interest at the Default Rate, prepayment premiums, Fees and Expenses or
otherwise) and in such amounts and order of priority as Payee may
determine in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion.
5. DEFAULT. From and after the Effective Date, the phrase "or Fees and
Expenses or any other sums and charges" shall be inserted after the word
"interest" in line 205 of the Note. A reference to the "seventh (7th) day"
shall be inserted in lieu of the reference to the "fifth (5th) day" in line 206
of the Note. Further, the phrase "interest, Fees and Expenses and other sums
and charges" shall be inserted in lieu of the phrase "accrued interest thereon"
in lines 224 of the Note.
6. FEES AND EXPENSES. From and after the Effective Date, the following
sentence shall be added at the end of Section 3.4 of the Note:
Upon the occurrence of a Default, Maker promises to pay all Fees
and Expenses incurred by Payee. In the event that Maker fails to
make any payment of money due to Payee under this Note (other than
the payment of the then Outstanding Principal Balance due on the
Maturity Date or the date specified in any Prepayment Notice) with
seven (7) days after the due date thereof, Payee shall be entitled
to collect a Late Charge as liquidated damages, which Late Charge
shall be due in addition to any interest, whether or not calculated
at the Default Rate, in connection with each such delinquency in
payment. Because the actual damages suffered by Payee would be
impracticable or extremely difficult or impossible to determine,
Maker agrees the amount of the Late Charge shall be the amount of
damages to which Payee is entitled upon each such breach, in
compensation for such delinquent payment, and that the amount of
such liquidated damages is reasonable.
7. NOTICES. All notices given or required to be given to Maker and Payee
under Section 4.1 of the Note are hereby revised as follows:

Agreement, Use and Retention Funds Letter, and Manager's Liability Letter
Agreement, are hereby revised to refer instead to the defined terms Guaranties,

9. NO USURY. All agreements between Maker and Payee are expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether of advancement of
the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the remaining Outstanding
Principal Balance, upon a Default or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed
to be paid to Payee for the use, forbearance or detention of the money advanced
or to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under the
laws of the State of Texas. Said highest lawful rate is determined by reference
to the indicated (weekly) rate ceiling (as defined and described in Texas
Revised Civil Statues Article 5069-1.04, as amended). If, from any circumstances
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents
or of any other agreement referred to herein or pertaining hereto, at the time
when performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the
highest rate prescribed by law, which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem
applicable hereto, the ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the highest lawful rate, and if from any circumstances, Payee shall
ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate,
such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied first, to the
reduction of the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance and other indebtedness
due hereunder (other than interest) or under the other Loan Documents without
any prepayment premium or charge and not to the payment of interest, with the
excess being deemed to have been a payment made by mistake to be refunded to
Maker. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder of the Note for the
use, forbearance or detention or detention of the Indebtedness, outstanding from
time to time shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of
the Note until payment in full of the Indebtedness so that the actual rate of
interest on account of the Indebtedness is uniform through the term thereof.
Neither Maker nor any other party obligated to pay all of any part of the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Note shall have any claim or remedy against Payee
for any damages whatsoever, or any defenses to enforcement of the Note or any of
the other Loan Documents, relating in any way to allegations that the interest
paid or collected thereunder was in excess of the lawful limit, and Maker, for
itself and for any and all parties claiming by, under or through it, hereby
waives any such claims, remedies or defenses. Neither Maker nor any other party
obligated to pay all or any part of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note
shall have any claim or remedy against Payee for any damages whatsoever, or any
defenses to enforcement of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents,
relating in any way to allegations that the interest paid or collected hereunder
was in excess of the lawful limit, and Maker, for itself and for any and all
parties claiming by, under and through it, hereby waives any such claims,
remedies or defenses. This provision shall control every other provision of the
Loan Documents, Maker hereby represents and warrants to Payee that the interest
under this Note (including the Interest Rate and Default Rate) is not usurious
without regard to the provisions of this Paragraph.
10. NO NOVATION. This Amendment and the other Amendment Documents shall
not cause a novation of any of the indebtedness and obligations of Maker or any
of the Responsible Parties under the Loan Documents, including the Note, nor
shall the same extinguish, terminate or impair the indebtedness and obligations
of Maker or the Responsible Parties and Payee's rights and remedies under the
Loan Documents, including the Note. Maker hereby acknowledges, represents,
warrants and agrees that neither Maker nor any of the Responsible Parties has
any defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaims or other claims against Payee in
connection with the Loan Documents, including the Amendment Documents, or the
indebtedness or obligations evidenced and/or secured thereby.
11. RATIFICATION. Except as expressly modified herein, each and all of
the terms, covenants, representations, warranties and provisions of the Note are

ratifies and reaffirms each an all of the terms, covenants, representations,
