                                   SCHEDULE 2

                                LITIGATION, ETC.


1.   The information set forth on Schedule 7.6 to the Credit Agreement is
     incorporated herein by reference.

2.   In November and December 1998, two class action lawsuits were filed in the
     United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, naming the
     Company and certain of its current and former executive officers as
     defendants. The lawsuits arise from the Company's November 2, 1998
     announcement that it was (i) revising its results of operations for the
     year ended July 31, 1998 from that which had been previously announced on
     September 16, 1998 and (ii) restating its results of operations for the
     third quarter of fiscal 1998 from that which had been previously reported.
     The complaints allege the defendants issued a series of materially false
     and misleading statements and omitted material facts concerning the
     Company's financial condition and business operations. The lawsuits allege
     violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of
     1934. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages on behalf of all other
     purchasers of the Company's common stock during the period of December 3,
     1997 through and including October 30, 1998.

     On February 5, 1999, the Court entered an Order consolidating the actions
     and approved the selection of three law firms as co-lead counsel. Pursuant
     to an agreed upon schedule, a consolidated and amended complaint will be
     filed on March 22, 1999. At this date, no class has been certified nor has
     any discovery commenced. The Company is unable to determine the likely
     outcome of this matter or estimate the amount, or potential range of, loss
     with respect to this matter.
