ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         None.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant
provides for indemnification as follows:

         "THIRTEENTH: The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was, is, or
         is  threatened  to be  made a party  to a  proceeding  (as  hereinafter
         defined)  by reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director
         or officer of the  Corporation  or (ii) while a director  or officer of
         the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as
         a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor,  trustee, employee,
         agent,   or  similar   functionary  of  another   foreign  or  domestic
         corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, sole proprietorship,  trust,
         employee  benefit  plan,  or other  enterprise,  to the fullest  extent
         permitted  under the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law,  as the same
         exists or may  hereafter  be  amended.  Such right  shall be a contract
         right and as such shall inure to the benefit of any director or officer
         who is elected and  accepts the  position of director or officer of the
         Corporation  or elects to continue to serve as a director or officer of
         the Corporation while this Article  Thirteenth is in effect. Any repeal
         or amendment of this Article  Thirteenth  shall be prospective only and
         shall not  limit the  rights of any such  director  or  officer  or the
         obligations of the  Corporation  with respect to any claim arising from
         or related to the  services  of such  director or officer in any of the
         foregoing  capacities  prior to any such  repeal or  amendment  to this
         Article  Thirteenth.  Such right shall  include the right to be paid by
         the Corporation expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees)
         actually  and  reasonably   incurred  by  him  in  defending  any  such
         proceeding in advance of its final  disposition  to the maximum  extent
         permitted  under the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law,  as the same
         exists or may hereafter be amended.  If a claim for  indemnification or
         advancement  of  expenses   hereunder  is  not  paid  in  full  by  the
         Corporation  within  sixty  (60) days  after a  written  claim has been
         received by the  Corporation,  the claimant may at any time  thereafter
         bring suit against the  Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the
         claim,  and if successful in whole or in part,  the claimant shall also
         be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall
         be  a  defense  to  any  such  action  that  such   indemnification  or
         advancement  of costs of defense is not  permitted  under the  Delaware
         General  Corporation  Law, but the burden of proving such defense shall
         be  on  the  Corporation.   Neither  the  failure  of  the  Corporation
         (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent
         legal counsel, or stockholders) to have made its determination prior to
         the commencement of such action that indemnification of, or advancement
         of  costs  of  defense  to,  the   claimant  is   permissible   in  the
         circumstances   nor  any  actual   determination   by  the  Corporation
         (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent
         legal  counsel,   or  stockholders)   that  such   indemnification   or
         advancement  is not  permissible  shall be a defense  to the  action or
         create a  presumption  that  such  indemnification  or  advance  is not
         permissible.  In the event of the death of any person having a right of
         indemnification under the foregoing provisions,  such right shall inure
         to the  benefit of his or her  heirs,  executors,  administrators,  and
         personal  representatives.  The  rights  conferred  above  shall not be
         exclusive  of any other  right  which any person may have or  hereafter
         acquire  under  any  statute,  bylaw,  resolution  of  stockholders  or
         directors, agreement, or otherwise.

                  The  Corporation  may also  indemnify any employee or agent of
         the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                  As used herein,  the term  "proceeding"  means any threatened,
         pending,  or completed  action,  suit, or  proceeding,  whether  civil,
         criminal, administrative,  arbitrative, or investigative, any appeal in
         such an action,  suit, or proceeding,  or any inquiry or  investigation
         that could lead to such an action, suit, or proceeding."

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         A.       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) to file,  during any  period in which  offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective  amendment to this registration  statement
         to  include  any  material  information  with  respect  to the  plan of
         distribution not previously disclosed in the registration  statement or
         any material change to such information in the registration statement;

                  (2) that, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under
         the Securities Act, each such post-effective  amendment shall be deemed
         to be a new registration  statement  relating to the securities offered
         therein,  and the  offering  of such  securities  at that time shall be
         deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

                  (3) to remove from  registration by means of a  post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
         the termination of the offering.

         B. The undersigned  registrant  hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining  any  liability  under  the  Securities  Act,  each  filing  of  the
registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to section  13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where  applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual  report   pursuant  to  section  15(d)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  that  is
incorporated by reference in the registration  statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         C.  Insofar  as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under  the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons
of the  registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions,  or  otherwise,  the
registrant  has  been  advised  that  in  the  opinion  of the  Commission  such
indemnification  is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event  that a claim for  indemnification
against such  liabilities  (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or


                                      II-3

<PAGE>



controlling  person of the registrant in the  successful  defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,  officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will, unless
in the  opinion  of its  counsel  the matter  has been  settled  by  controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such  indemnification  by it is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in  the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

or more Eligible Persons as shall be selected by the Committee.

         (b) In granting Awards, the Committee shall take into consideration the
contribution the Eligible Person has made or may be reasonably  expected to make
to the  success of the  Company and such other  factors as the  Committee  shall
determine.  The  Committee  shall also have the  authority  to consult  with and
receive  recommendations  from officers and other  personnel of the Company with
regard to these matters.  The Committee may from time to time in granting Awards
under the Plan prescribe such other terms and conditions  concerning such Awards
as it deems appropriate,  including,  without  limitation,  relating an Award to
achievement of specific  goals  established by the Committee or to the continued
employment of the Eligible Person for a specified period of time,  provided that
such terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan.

         (c) Incentive  Stock Options may be granted only to Employees,  and all
other Awards may be granted to either  Employees,  Consultants  or  Non-Employee
Directors.  Outside  Directors  are eligible to receive  Awards only pursuant to
SECTION 24.

         (d) The Plan shall not confer upon any Holder any right with respect to
continuation of employment by, or consulting relationship with, the Company, nor
shall it interfere in any way with his right or the Company's right to terminate
his employment,  consulting  relationship or Directorship at any time, nor shall
the reference to "Company" confer an employment relationship on a Consultant.

         (e) The Awards  granted to  Eligible  Persons  shall be in  addition to
regular  salaries,  pension,  life insurance or other benefits  related to their
service to the Company.  Neither the Plan nor any Award  granted  under the Plan
shall  confer  upon any person any right to  continuance  of  employment  by the
Company; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the
ability of the Company to enter into any other  compensation  arrangements  with
any Eligible Person.

         (f) The  Committee  shall  determine  in each case  whether  periods of
military or government service shall constitute a continuation of employment for
the purposes of this Plan or any Award.

         (g)  Notwithstanding  any provision hereof to the contrary,  each Award
which in whole or in part involves the issuance of Available  Shares may provide
for the issuance of such Available Shares for  consideration  consisting of such
consideration as the Committee may determine,  including (without limitation) as
compensation for past services rendered.

         5. GRANT OF OPTIONS.

         (a) The  Committee  may grant to  Optionees  from time to time  Options
alone,  in addition to, or in tandem with , other Awards  granted under the Plan
and/or  cash  Awards made  outside of the Plan,  to purchase  some or all of the
Available Shares. An Option granted hereunder shall be either an Incentive Stock
Option  or a  Non-qualified  Stock  Option,  shall  be  evidenced  by a  written
agreement  that  shall  contain  such  provisions  as shall be  selected  by the
Committee,  which may incorporate the terms of this Plan by reference, and which
clearly  shall  state  whether  it is (in whole or in part) an  Incentive  Stock
Option or a Non-qualified Stock Option.

         (b) The  aggregate  Fair  Market  Value  (determined  as of the Date of
Grant) of the Available  Shares with respect to which any Incentive Stock Option
is exercisable  for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year under
the Plan and all such plans of the  Company  (as  defined in Section  425 of the
Code) shall not exceed $100,000.

         (c) A  Non-qualified  Stock  Option  shall not be  transferable  by the
Holder  without  the prior  written  consent  of the  Committee  other  than (i)
transfers  by the Holder to a member of his or her  Immediate  Family or a trust
for the benefit of the optionee or a member of his or her Immediate  Family,  or
(ii) transfers by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  An Incentive
Stock Option shall not be transferable  by the Holder  otherwise than by will or
by the laws of descent  and  distribution.  All  Options  shall be  exercisable,
during the Holder's lifetime, only by the Holder.

         (d) In the case of a Non-qualified  Stock Option or a Holder who elects
to make a  disqualifying  disposition  (as defined in Section  422(a)(1)  of the
Code) of Shares acquired  pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option,
the Committee in its discretion may award at the time of grant or thereafter the
right to receive  upon  exercise of such Option a cash bonus  calculated  to pay
part or all of the federal and state,  if any, income tax incurred by the Holder
upon such exercise.

         (e) The  Committee  may at any time  offer to buy out for a payment  in
cash, Common Stock, or Restricted Stock an Option previously  granted,  based on
such terms and conditions as the Committee  shall  establish and  communicate to
the Holder at the time that such offer is made.

         (f) If the Option  agreement so provides at Date of Grant or (except in
the case of an Incentive  Stock Option) is amended after Date of Grant and prior
to exercise to so provide (with the Holder's consent), the Committee may require
that all or part of the Shares to be issued with  respect to the Spread take the
form of Restricted  Stock,  which shall be valued on the date of exercise on the
basis of the Fair  Market  Value of such  Restricted  Stock  determined  without
regard to the transferability and forfeiture restrictions involved.

         (g) Without limitation, the Committee may condition the exercise of any
Option upon the  attainment of specified  performance  goals or other factors as
the  Committee  may  determine,  in its  sole  discretion.  Unless  specifically
provided in the Option agreement,  any such conditional Option shall vest twelve
(12) months  prior to its  expiration  if the  conditions  to exercise  have not
theretofore been satisfied.

         6. OPTION PRICE.

         (a) The Option Price shall be any price  determined  by the  Committee;
provided,  however,  that the Option Price may not be less than the par value of
the Common Stock,  and in the case of an Incentive  Stock  Option,  shall not be
less than one hundred  percent  (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
Date of Grant.

         (b) Unless further  limited by the Committee in any Option,  the Option
Price shall be paid solely in cash,  by certified or  cashier's  check,  by wire
transfer,  by money order,  with Common Stock (but with Shares only if expressly
permitted  by the  terms  of the  Option),  or by a  combination  of the  above;
provided,  however,  that the Committee  may accept a personal  check in full or
partial  payment.  If the Option Price is permitted to be, and is, paid in whole
or in


                                        6

part with Common Stock, the value of the Common Stock surrendered shall its Fair
Market Value on the date surrendered.

         7. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.  An Option shall be deemed  exercised  when (i)
the Committee has received  written  notice of such exercise in accordance  with
the terms of the Option,  and (ii) full payment of the aggregate Option Price of
the Available Shares as to which the Option is exercised has been made. Separate
stock  certificates  shall be  issued by the  Parent  for any  Available  Shares
acquired as a result of exercising an Incentive Stock Option and a Non-qualified
Stock Option.

         8. EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS.

         (a)  Each  Option  shall  become  exercisable  in  whole or in part and
cumulatively,  and shall  expire,  according  to the terms of the  Option to the
extent not inconsistent  with the express  provisions of this Plan; and provided
further,  without  limitation,  that in the case of the grant of an Option to an
officer (as that term is used in Rule 16a-1  promulgated  under the 1934 Act) or
any similar rule which may subsequently be in effect,  the Committee may provide
that no  Available  Shares  acquired on the  exercise  of such  Option  shall be
transferable during such 6 month period following the Date of Grant.

         (b) The Committee,  in its sole discretion,  may accelerate the date on
which all or any portion of an otherwise  unexercisable  Option may be exercised
or a restriction will lapse.

         9. TERMINATION OF OPTION PERIOD.

         (a) As provided in SECTION 5, and without limitation, each Option shall
be  evidenced by an agreement  that may contain any  provisions  selected by the
Committee; provided, however, that in each case, unless terminated earlier under
the express  terms of the Option,  the  unexercised  portion of an Option  shall
automatically  and  without  notice  terminate  and become  null and void on the
earlier of (i) the date that Optionee  ceases to be employed by the Company,  if
such  cessation is for Cause,  (ii) the tenth (10th)  anniversary of the Date of
Grant;  and (iii) solely in the case of an Incentive Stock Option,  three months
after the date that Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company  regardless of
the reason  therefor,  other than a cessation by reason of death, or Disability,
in which case the date of  termination  may be  extended  under the terms of the
Incentive Stock Option agreement.

         (b) Notwithstanding any provision of SECTION 14(a) to the contrary,  if
provided  in  an  Option,   the  Committee   may,  by  giving   written   notice
("CANCELLATION NOTICE"),  cancel, effective upon the date of the consummation of
any of the  transactions  described in SUBSECTION  14(a),  all or any portion of
such Option which remains  unexercised on such date.  Such  Cancellation  Notice
shall be given a reasonable  period of time (but not less than 15 days) prior to
the proposed date of such cancellation,  and may be given either before or after
shareholder approval of such corporate transaction.

         10.  INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS FOR 10% SHAREHOLDER.  Notwithstanding  any
other  provisions of the Plan to the contrary,  an Incentive  Stock Option shall
not be granted to any person owning directly (or indirectly through  attribution
under Section 425(d) of the Code) at the Date of Grant,  stock  possessing  more
than 10% of the  total  combined  voting  power of all  classes  of stock of the
Company (as defined in Section 425 of the Code) at the Date of Grant, unless the
Option Price of such Incentive  Stock Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market
Value on the Date of Grant of the  Available  Shares  subject to such  Incentive
Stock  Option,  and the period  during which the  Incentive  Stock Option may be
exercised does not exceed five (5) years from the Date of Grant.

         11.  NON-QUALIFIED  STOCK OPTIONS.  Non-qualified  Stock Options may be
granted  hereunder  and shall  contain  such  terms and  provisions  as shall be
determined by the Committee,  except that each such  Non-qualified  Stock Option
(i) must be clearly  designated as a  Non-qualified  Stock  Option;  (ii) may be
granted for Available  Shares which become  exercisable  in excess of the limits
contained in SUBSECTION 5(B); and (iii) shall not be subject to


                                        7

<PAGE>



SECTION 10 hereof.  If both  Incentive  Stock  Options and  Non-qualified  Stock
Options are granted to an Optionee,  the right to  exercise,  to the full extent
thereof, Options of either type shall not be contingent in whole or in part upon
the exercise of, or failure to exercise, Options of the other type.



         12.  RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS.

         (a) Each Restricted Share Award shall be evidenced by an agreement that
may  contain  any  provisions  selected  by the  Committee,  including,  without
limitation,  a provision  allowing  the  Holder,  prior to the date on which the
Restrictions lapse with respect to the Restricted Shares of reference, or within
a period of 10 days after such lapse where such lapse is  accelerated,  to elect
to receive  cash in an amount  equal to the Fair Market  Value of some or all of
the  Restricted  Shares  on the  date  the  Restrictions  with  respect  to such
Restricted  Shares  lapse,  in  lieu of  retaining  the  corresponding  formerly
Restricted Shares; and provided,  further, that in the event such a provision is
included  in the  Restricted  Share  Award of an officer  (as defined in SECTION
18(l) the election to receive cash in lieu of Restricted Shares shall be subject
to the same  limitations  on  exercise as are set forth in SECTION  18(l).  As a
condition to the grant of a Restricted  Share Award, the Committee shall require
the Eligible  Person  receiving  the  Restricted  Share Award to pay at least an
amount  equal to the par  value of the  Restricted  Shares  granted  under  such
Restricted  Share Award,  and such  Restricted  Share Award shall  automatically
terminate if such payment is not received  within 30 days  following the Date of
Grant.  Except as otherwise provided in the express terms and conditions of each
Restricted Share Award, the Eligible Person receiving the Restricted Share Award
shall have all of the rights of a  shareholder  with respect to such  Restricted
Shares including, but not limited to, voting rights and the right to receive any
dividends paid, subject only to the retention provisions of the Restricted Share
Distributions.

         (b) The  Restrictions on Restricted  Shares shall lapse in whole, or in
installments,   over  whatever  Restricted  Period  shall  be  selected  by  the
Committee; provided, however, that a complete lapse of Restrictions always shall
occur on or before the 9th anniversary of the Date of Grant.

         (c) The Committee may accelerate the date on which  Restrictions  lapse
with respect to any Restricted Shares.

         (d) During the Restricted  Period,  the  certificates  representing the
Restricted Shares, and any Restricted Share  Distributions,  shall be registered
in the Holder's name and bear a restrictive  legend disclosing the Restrictions,
the  existence  of the  Plan,  and the  existence  of the  applicable  agreement
granting such Restricted Share Award.  Such  certificates  shall be deposited by
the Holder with the Company,  together with stock powers or other instruments of
assignment,  each  endorsed  in blank,  which will  permit the  transfer  to the
Company  of  all  or any  portion  of the  Restricted  Shares,  and  any  assets
constituting  Restricted  Share  Distributions,  which  shall  be  forfeited  in
accordance with the applicable  agreement  granting such Restricted Share Award.
Restricted Shares shall constitute  issued and outstanding  Common Stock for all
corporate  purposes and the Holder shall have all rights,  powers and privileges
of a Holder of  unrestricted  Shares except that the Holder will not be entitled
to  delivery  of the  stock  certificates  until  all  Restrictions  shall  have
terminated,  and the Company will retain custody of all related Restricted Share
Distributions  (which  will be  subject  to the same  Restrictions,  terms,  and
conditions  as the  related  Restricted  Shares)  until  the  conclusion  of the
Restricted Period with respect to the related  Restricted  Shares; and provided,
further,  that any Restricted Share  Distributions shall not bear interest or be
segregated  into a  separate  account  but shall  remain a general  asset of the
Company, subject to the claims of the Company's creditors,  until the conclusion
of the applicable  Restricted Period; and provided,  finally,  that any material
breach of any terms of the agreement  granting the  Restricted  Share Award,  as
reasonably  determined  by  the  Committee  will  cause  a  forfeiture  of  both
Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Distributions.

         13. PERFORMANCE AWARDS.

         (a) The Committee may grant Performance  Awards,  which may in the sole
discretion of the  Committee  represent a Share or be related to the increase in
value of a Share, or be contingent on the Company's achievement of the specified
performance   measures  during  the  Performance  Period,   including,   without
limitation,   performance  shares,   convertible  preferred  stock,  convertible
debentures,  exchangeable  securities  and  Restricted  Share  Awards or Options
valued by  reference  to earnings per Share or  Subsidiary  performance,  may be
granted either alone,  in addition to, or in tandem with,  other Awards and cash
awards made outside of the Plan. The Committee  shall  establish the performance
measures for each Performance  Period,  and such performance  measures,  and the
duration of any  Performance  Period,  may differ with respect to each  Eligible
Person who receives a Performance Award, or with respect to separate Performance
Awards issued to the same Eligible Person. The performance measures,  the medium
of payment, the Performance  Period(s) and any other conditions to the Company's
obligation to pay such Performance  Award in full or in part, shall be set forth
in the written agreement evidencing each Performance Award.

         (b) The Committee  shall  determine the manner and medium of payment of
each Performance Award.

         (c) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the agreement evidencing the
Performance  Award, the Holder of the Performance  Award must remain employed by
the Company until the end of the  Performance  Period in order to be entitled to
any payment under such Performance Award; provided,  however, that the Committee
expressly may provide in the agreement granting such Performance Award that such
Holder may become  entitled to a specified  portion of the amount  earned  under
such Performance Award based on one or more specified  period(s) of time between
the Date of Grant of such  Performance  Award and such Holder's  termination  of
employment by the Company prior to the end of the Performance Period.

         14. ACCELERATION ON CHANGE IN CONTROL.

         (a) In the event of either a Change in Control,  or a Potential  Change
in Control,  unless otherwise  expressly provided by the Committee prior to such
event,  (i) all  Awards,  other than  Performance  Awards,  shall  become  fully
exercisable,  nonforfeitable,  or the Restricted Period shall terminate,  as the
case may be (hereafter,  in this SECTION 14, such Award shall be  "accelerated")
and (ii)  the  value  of all  outstanding  Non-qualified  Stock  Options,  Stock
Appreciation  Rights,  Restricted  Stock,  and Outside Director Options shall be
cashed out on the basis of the Change in Control Price, effective as the date of
the Change in  Control,  or on such other date as the  Committee  may  determine
prior to the Change in Control.

         (b) Notwithstanding any provisions hereof to the contrary,  if an Award
is  accelerated  under  SUBSECTION  14(b),  the  portion  of the Award  which is
accelerated is limited to that portion which can be accelerated  without causing
the Holder to have an "excess  parachute  payment" as  determined  under Section
280G  of the  Code,  determined  by  taking  into  account  all of the  Holder's
"parachute  payments"  determined  under  Section  280G  of  the  Code,  all  as
reasonably determined by the Committee.

         15. ADJUSTMENT OF AVAILABLE SHARES.

         (a) If at any time while the Plan is in effect or Awards  with  respect
to Available Shares are outstanding,  there shall be any increase or decrease in
the number of issued and  outstanding  Shares through the declaration of a stock
dividend  or  through  any  recapitalization  resulting  in  a  stock  split-up,
combination or exchange of Shares, then and in such event:

                  (i) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number
         of Available  Shares which may be granted  under  SECTION 3, and in the
         Available Shares which are then subject to each Award, so that the same
         proportion of the Parent's  issued and  outstanding  Common Stock shall
         continue to be subject to grant under SECTION 3, and to such Award, and



                                        9

<PAGE>



                  (ii) in addition, and without limitation,  in the case of each
         Award  (including,  without  limitation,  Options)  which  requires the
         payment of consideration  by the Holder in order to acquire Shares,  an
         appropriate  adjustment shall be made in the consideration  (including,
         without limitation the Option Price) required to be paid to acquire the
         each Share, so that (i) the aggregate  consideration  to acquire all of
         the Shares  subject to the Award  remains the same and,  (ii) so far as
         possible  (and  without  disqualifying  an Incentive  Stock  Option) as
         reasonably  determined  by the  Committee in its sole  discretion,  the
         relative cost of acquiring each Share subject to such Award remains the
         same.

         (b) The  Committee  may change the terms of Options  outstanding  under
this Plan,  with respect to the Option  Price or the number of Available  Shares
subject  to the  Options,  or both,  when,  in the  Committee's  judgment,  such
adjustments become appropriate by reason of a corporate  transaction (as defined
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.425-1(a)(1)(ii)); provided, however, that if by
reason of such corporate  transaction an Incentive  Stock Option is assumed or a
new option is substituted therefore,  the Committee may only change the terms of
such  Incentive  Stock  Option  such that (i) the excess of the  aggregate  Fair
Market Value of the Shares subject to option  immediately after the substitution
or assumption,  over the aggregate option price of such Shares, is not more than
the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all Available Shares subject to
the Option immediately before such substitution or assumption over the aggregate
Option  Price  of  such  Available  Shares,  and  (ii)  the new  option,  or the
assumption  of the old  Incentive  Stock  Option  does  not  give  the  Optionee
additional benefits which he did not have under the old Incentive Stock Option.

         (c) Except as otherwise  expressly provided herein, the issuance by the
Parent of shares of its capital stock of any class,  or  securities  convertible
into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with direct sale
or upon the  exercise  of rights or  warrants  to  subscribe  therefor,  or upon
conversion of shares or obligations of the Parent  convertible  into such shares
or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to Available  Shares  subject to Awards  granted  under the
Plan.

         (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the existence of
outstanding Awards with respect to Available Shares granted under the Plan shall
not affect in any manner the right or power of the Parent to make,  authorize or
consummate (1) any or all  adjustments,  recapitalizations,  reorganizations  or
other changes in the Parent's capital structure or its business;  (2) any merger
or consolidation of the Parent;  (3) any issue by the Parent of debt securities,
or preferred or  preference  stock which would rank above the  Available  Shares
subject to outstanding Awards; (4) the dissolution or liquidation of the Parent;
(5) any  sale,  transfer  or  assignment  of all or any  part of the  assets  or
business of the Company;  or (6) any other corporate act or proceeding,  whether
of a similar character or otherwise.

         16. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. Each Award shall provide that such Award
shall not be  transferable  by the Holder  otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent and  distribution,  or, if so provided in the Award, (a) that such Award
is  transferable,  in whole or in part,  without  payment of  consideration,  to
members of the Holder's  Immediate  Family,  to trusts for such Immediate Family
members,  or to  partnerships  whose only  partners  are such  Immediate  Family
members,  or (b) except as prohibited by Rule 16b-3, to a person or other entity
for which the Holder is entitled to a deduction for a "charitable  contribution"
under Section 170(a)(i) of the Code (provided, in each such case that no further
transfer by any such  permitted  transferee(s)  shall be  permitted);  provided,
further,  that in each case the  exercise of the Award will remain the power and
responsibility  of the Holder and that so long as the  Holder  lives,  only such
Holder  (even  if  pursuant  to the  legal  direction  of the  person  to whom a
charitable  contribution has been made) or his guardian or legal  representative
shall have the rights set forth in such Award.

         17. ISSUANCE OF SHARES. No Holder or other person shall be, or have any
of the rights or privileges  of, the owner of Shares  subject to an Award unless
and until certificates representing such Common Stock shall have been issued and
delivered  to such Holder or other  person.  As a condition  of any  issuance of
Common Stock, the Committee may obtain such agreements or undertakings,  if any,
as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to assure  compliance  with any
such law or regulation including, but not limited to, the following:


                                       10

<PAGE>



                  (i) a  representation,  warranty or agreement by the Holder to
         the  Parent,  at the  time  any  Shares  are  transferred,  that  he is
         acquiring the Shares to be issued to him for  investment and not with a
         view to, or for sale in connection  with, the  distribution of any such
         Shares; and

                  (ii) a  representation,  warranty or  agreement to be bound by
         any legends  that are, in the opinion of the  Committee,  necessary  or
         appropriate  to comply with the provisions of any securities law deemed
         by the Committee to be applicable to the issuance of the Shares and are
         endorsed upon the Share certificates.

         Share  certificates  issued to the Holder receiving such Shares who are
parties to any  shareholders  agreement or any similar  agreement shall bear the
legends  contained in such agreements.  Notwithstanding  any provision hereof to
the contrary,  no Shares shall be required to be issued with respect to an Award
unless  counsel for the Parent shall be reasonably  satisfied that such issuance
will be in compliance with applicable Federal or state securities laws.

         18. STOCK APPRECIATION  RIGHTS AND  LIMITED STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

         (a) The  Committee  shall have  authority to grant a SAR, or to grant a
Limited SAR with respect to all or some of the Available  Shares  covered by any
Option  ("RELATED  OPTION"),  or with  respect  to,  or as  some  or all  of,  a
Performance Award ("RELATED  PERFORMANCE  AWARD").  A SAR or Limited SAR granted
with respect to an  Incentive  Stock Option must be granted on the Date of Grant
of such related  Option.  A SAR or Limited SAR granted with respect to a Related
Non-qualified  Stock Option or a Performance  Award,  may be granted on or after
the Date of Grant of such Related Option or Related Performance Award.

         (b) For the  purposes  of this  SECTION 18, the  following  definitions
shall apply:

                  (i) The term  "OFFER"  shall mean any tender offer or exchange
         offer for thirty percent (30%) or more of the outstanding  Common Stock
         of the  Parent,  other than one made by the PARENT;  provided  that the
         corporation,  person or other entity making the Offer  acquires  Common
         Stock pursuant to such Offer.

                  (ii) The term "OFFER  PRICE PER SHARE"  shall mean the highest
         price per Share paid in any Offer which is in effect at any time during
         the period  beginning on the  sixtieth  (60th) day prior to the date on
         which a Limited  SAR is  exercised  and ending on the date on which the
         Limited SAR is exercised. Any securities or properties which are a part
         or all of the consideration  paid or to be paid for Common Stock in the
         Offer shall be valued in  determining  the Offer Price Per Share at the
         higher of (1) the valuation  placed on such securities or properties by
         the person  making  such  Offer,  or (2) the  valuation  placed on such
         securities or properties by the Committee.

                  (iii) The term  "LIMITED SAR" shall mean a right granted under
         this  Plan with  respect  to a Related  Option or  Related  Performance
         Award,  that shall entitle the Holder to an amount in cash equal to the
         Offer Spread in the event an Offer is made.

                  (iv) The term "OFFER SPREAD" shall mean,  with respect to each
         Limited  SAR,  an amount  equal to the product of (1) the excess of (A)
         the Offer Price Per Share  immediately  preceding  the date of exercise
         over (B) (x) if the  Limited  SAR is granted in tandem  with an Option,
         then the Option  Price per Share of the Related  Option,  or (y) if the
         Limited SAR is issued with respect to a Performance  Award,  the Agreed
         Price under the Related Performance Award, multiplied by (2) the number
         of  Available  Shares with  respect to which such  Limited SAR is being
         exercised;  provided,  however  that with  respect to any  Limited  SAR
         granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, in no event shall the
         Offer  Spread  exceed the amount  permitted  to be treated as the Offer
         Spread under applicable  Treasury  Regulations or other legal authority
         without disqualifying the Option as an Incentive Stock Option.



                                       11

<PAGE>



                  (v) The term "SAR" shall mean a right granted under this Plan,
         including, without limitation, a right granted in tandem with an Award,
         that shall entitle the Holder thereof to an amount in cash equal to the
         Spread.

                  (vi) The term "SAR SPREAD" shall mean with respect to each SAR
         an amount equal to the product of (1) the excess of (A) the Fair Market
         Value  per  Share  on the date of  exercise  over (B) (x) if the SAR is
         granted in tandem  with an Option,  then the Option  Price per Share of
         the  Related  Option,  (y)  if the  SAR is  granted  in  tandem  with a
         Performance  Award,  the Agreed  Price  under the  Related  Performance
         Award,  or (z) if the  SAR is  granted  by  itself  with  respect  to a
         designated number of Available Shares, then whichever of the FMV of the
         Available  Shares on the Date of Grant,  or the Agreed Price,  shall be
         designated  in the SAR  agreement,  in each case  multiplied by (2) the
         number of  Available  Shares  with  respect  to which such SAR is being
         exercised;  provided,  however, that with respect to any SAR granted in
         tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, in no event shall the SAR Spread
         exceed the  amount  permitted  to be  treated  as the SAR Spread  under
         applicable  Treasury  Regulations  or  other  legal  authority  without
         disqualifying the Option as an Incentive Stock Option.

         (c) To exercise the SAR or Limited SAR, the Holder shall:

                  (i) Give written notice thereof to the Company, specifying the
         SAR or Limited SAR being  exercised and the number or Available  Shares
         with respect to which such SAR or Limited SAR is being exercised, and

                  (ii) If requested by the Company,  deliver within a reasonable
         time the agreement  evidencing the SAR or Limited SAR being  exercised,
         and  the  Related  Option  agreement,   or  Related  Performance  Award
         agreement,  to the  Secretary of the Company who shall endorse or cause
         to be  endorsed  thereon a  notation  of such  exercise  and return all
         agreements to the Holder.

         (d) As soon as practicable  after the exercise of a SAR or Limited SAR,
the Company shall pay to the Holder (i) cash,  (ii) at the request of the Holder
and the approval of the Committee, or in accordance with the terms of the Award,
Shares,  or (iii) a combination  of cash and Shares,  having a Fair Market Value
equal to either  the SAR  Spread,  or to the Offer  Spread,  as the case may be;
provided,  however, that the Company may, in its sole discretion,  withhold from
such  payment any amount  necessary  to satisfy  the  Company's  obligation  for
federal and state withholding taxes with respect to such exercise.

         (e) A SAR or  Limited  SAR may be  exercised  only if and to the extent
that it is  permitted  under  the  terms of the  Award  which,  in the case of a
Related  Option,  shall be only  when such  Related  Option  is  eligible  to be
exercised;  provided,  however,  a Limited SAR may be exercised  only during the
period  beginning on the first day following the date of expiration of the Offer
and ending on the thirtieth (30th) day following such date.

         (f) Upon the  exercise  or  termination  of a  Related  Option,  or the
payment or termination of a Related  Performance  Award,  the SAR or Limited SAR
with respect to such Related Option or Related  Performance Award likewise shall
terminate.

         (g) A SAR or Limited SAR shall be transferable  only to the extent,  if
any, that the Related Award is transferable, and under the same conditions.

         (h) A SAR or Limited SAR granted  with  respect to an  Incentive  Stock
Option may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Available  Shares
exceeds the Option Price.

         (i) Each SAR or Limited SAR shall be on such terms and  conditions  not
inconsistent  with  this  Plan as the  Committee  may  determine  and  shall  be
evidenced by a written agreement.


                                       12

         (j) The Holder  shall have no rights as a  stockholder  with respect to
the related Available Shares as a result of the grant of a SAR or Limited SAR.

         (k) With respect to a Holder who, on the date of a proposed exercise of
a SAR or  Limited  SAR,  is an  officer  (as  that  term is  used in Rule  16a-1
promulgated  under the 1934 Act or any similar rule which may subsequently be in
effect),  and who  would  receive  cash in  whole or in part  upon the  proposed
exercise  of his SAR, or Limited SAR such  proposed  exercise  may only occur as
permitted by Rule 16b-3,  including without limitation paragraph (e)(3)(iii) (or
any similar rule which may  subsequently  be in effect  promulgated  pursuant to
Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act) which,  at the date of adopting this Plan,  among
other  things,  permits  exercise  during a period  beginning on the third (3rd)
business  day  following  the  Parent's  public  release of  quarterly or annual
summary  statements  of sales and  earnings  and  ending on the  twelfth  (12th)
business day following such public release.

         19. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

         (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee and, except for the
powers reserved to the Board in SECTION 22 hereof,  the Committee shall have all
of the  administrative  powers under Plan.  The initial  Committee  shall be the
Compensation  Committee  of the Board.  In the event  there are not at least two
Non-  Employee  Directors on the Board,  the Plan shall be  administered  by the
Board and all references herein to the Committee shall refer to the Board.

         (b) The Committee,  from time to time, may adopt rules and  regulations
for carrying out the purposes of the Plan and, without limitation,  may delegate
all of what, in its sole discretion,  it determines to be ministerial  duties to
an officer of the Parent. The determinations  under, and the interpretations of,
any provision of the Plan or an Award by the Committee  shall,  in all cases, be
in its sole discretion, and shall be final and conclusive.

         (c) Any and all  determinations  and  interpretations  of the Committee
shall be made either (i) by a majority vote of the members of the Committee at a
meeting duly called, with at least 3 days prior notice and a general explanation
of the subject  matter given to each member,  or (ii) without a meeting,  by the
written approval of all members of the Committee.

         (d) No member of the Committee  shall be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by him or by any other member of the Committee  with respect
to the Plan,  and to the extent of  liabilities  not  otherwise  insured under a
policy purchased by the Company,  the Company does hereby indemnify and agree to
defend  and save  harmless  any  member of the  Committee  with  respect  to any
liabilities asserted or incurred in connection with the exercise and performance
of their powers and duties  hereunder,  unless such  liabilities  are judicially
determined to have arisen out of such member's  gross  negligence,  fraud or bad
faith. Such  indemnification  shall include  attorney's fees and all other costs
and expenses  reasonably incurred in defense of any action arising from such act
of commission or omission. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the Company's
ability to insure itself with respect to its obligations hereunder.

         (e) In particular, and without limitation, the Committee shall have the
authority, consistent with the terms of the Plan:

                  (i)  to select the officers,  key employees of and consultants
         to the  Company to  whom Awards  may from time to time be granted here-
         under;

                  (ii) to determine  whether and to what extent Awards are to be
         granted hereunder to one or more eligible persons;

                  (iii) to determine  the number of Shares to be covered by each
         such Award granted hereunder;



                                       13

<PAGE>



                  (iv) to determine the terms and conditions,  not  inconsistent
         with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder  (including,
         but not limited to, the Agreed Value and any restriction or limitation,
         or any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, based
         in each case on such factors as the Committee shall  determine,  in its
         sole  discretion);  and to amend or waive any such terms and conditions
         to the extent permitted by the Plan;

                  (v) to  determine  whether  and under  what  circumstances  an
         Option may be settled in cash or Restricted Shares instead of Shares;

                  (vi) to  determine  whether,  to what  extent,  and under what
         circumstances  Awards under the Plan are to be made, and operate,  on a
         tandem basis  vis-a-vis  other Awards under the Plan and/or cash awards
         made outside of the Plan;

                  (vii) to determine whether and to what extent,  and under what
         circumstances Shares and other amounts payable with respect to an Award
         shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the Holder
         (including  providing  for and  determining  the amount (if any) of any
         deemed earnings on any deferred amount during any deferral period); and

                  (viii)  to  determine   whether  to  require  payment  of  tax
         withholding  requirements  in Shares and to impose any  holding  period
         required to satisfy Section 16 under the Exchange Act.

         (f) The Committee shall have the authority to adopt,  alter, and repeal
such rules, guidelines,  and practices governing the Plan as it shall, from time
to time, deem  advisable;  to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and
any Award issued under the Plan (and any agreements  relating  thereto);  and to
otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan; provided,  however,  that to
the extent that this Plan  otherwise  requires  the approval of the Board or the
shareholders  of the Parent,  all decisions of the Committee shall be subject to
such Board or  shareholder  approval.  Subject  to the  foregoing,  and  without
limitation,  all decisions  made by the Committee  pursuant to the provisions of
the Plan shall be made in the Committee's sole discretion and shall be final and
binding on all persons, including the Company and Holders.

         20. TAX  WITHHOLDING.  On or  immediately  prior to the date on which a
payment  is made to a Holder  hereunder  or,  if  earlier,  the date on which an
amount is  required to be included in the income of the Holder as a result of an
Award, the Holder shall be required to pay to the Company,  in cash or in Shares
(including,  but not limited to, the reservation to the Company of the requisite
number of Available Shares otherwise payable to such Holder with respect to such
Award) the amount  which the Company  reasonably  determines  to be necessary in
order for the Company to comply with applicable federal or state tax withholding
requirements,  and the collection of employment taxes, if applicable;  provided,
further, that the Committee may require that such payment be made in cash.

         21. INTERPRETATION.

         (a) If any  provision of the Plan is held invalid for any reason,  such
holding shall not affect the remaining  provisions  hereof, but instead the Plan
shall be construed and enforced as if such  provision had never been included in
the Plan.

         (b) THIS PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

         (c) Headings  contained in this Agreement are for convenience  only and
shall in no manner be construed as part of this Plan.

         (d) Any reference to the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall be
a reference to such other gender as is appropriate.


                                       14

<PAGE>



         (e) The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive
and  deferred  compensation.  With  respect  to any  payments  not yet made to a
Holder,  nothing contained herein shall give any such Holder any rights that are
greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion,
the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet
the  obligations  created under the Plan to deliver  Common Stock or payments in
lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that, unless the
Committee  otherwise  determines  with the consent of the affected  Holder,  the
existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the "unfunded"
status of the Plan.

         (f)  Nothing  contained  in this Plan  shall  prevent  the  Board  from
adopting other or additional compensation  arrangements,  subject to shareholder
approval  if such  approval is  required;  and such  arrangements  may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

         22.  AMENDMENT  AND  DISCONTINUATION  OF THE PLAN.  The  Board,  or the
Committee  (subject to the prior written  authorization of the Board),  may from
time to time amend the Plan or any Award; provided, however, that [except to the
extent  provided in SECTION 9(B) AND 15 hereof] no such amendment  may,  without
approval by the shareholders of the Parent, (a) increase the number of Available
Shares or change the class of  Eligible  Persons,  (b) permit  the  granting  of
Awards which expire beyond the maximum  10-year  period  described in SUBSECTION
9(A)(II),  (c) extend the  termination  date of the Plan as set forth in SECTION
25, (d)  increase  the Section  162(m)  Maximum;  (e) amend  SECTION 24 so as to
materially  increase the benefits to Outside  Directors;  or (f) make any change
for which  applicable  law or regulatory  authority  (including  the  regulatory
authority  of the NYSE or any other market or exchange on which the Common Stock
is traded) would require shareholder  approval or for which shareholder approval
would be required to secure all deductibility of compensation received under the
Plan under Section 162(m) of the Code; and provided,  further, that no amendment
or  suspension  of the Plan or any  Award  issued  hereunder  shall,  except  as
specifically  permitted  in  this  Plan  or  under  the  terms  of  such  Award,
substantially  impair any Award  previously  granted to any Holder  without  the
consent of such  Holder.  Solely for purposes of  computing  the Section  162(m)
Maximum,  if any Award(s) previously granted is canceled and new Award(s) having
a  lower  Option  Price  or  other  more  favorable  terms  for the  Holder  are
substituted  in their  place,  both the  initial  Award(s)  and the  replacement
Award(s) will be deemed to be outstanding  (although the canceled  Award(s) will
not be exercisable or deemed outstanding for any other purposes).

         23.  SECTION 83(b)  ELECTION.  If as a result of receiving an Award,  a
Holder receives Restricted Shares subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture",
then such  Holder may elect  under  Section  83(b) of the Code to include in his
gross  income,  for  his  taxable  year  in  which  the  Restricted  Shares  are
transferred  to him,  the excess of the Fair Market  Value  (determined  without
regard to any  Restriction  other than one which by its terms will never lapse),
of such  Restricted  Shares at the Date of Grant,  over the amount  paid for the
Restricted  Shares.  If the Holder makes the Section  83(b)  election  described
above,  the Holder shall (i) make such election in a manner that is satisfactory
to the Committee, (ii) provide the Committee with a copy of such election, (iii)
agree to promptly  notify the Company if any Internal  Revenue  Service or state
tax agent, on audit or otherwise,  questions the validity or correctness of such
election or of the amount of income reportable on account of such election,  and
(iv) agree to such federal and state income  withholding  as the  Committee  may
reasonably require in its sole and absolute discretion.

         24.      AWARDS TO OUTSIDE DIRECTORS.

         (a) The  provisions  of this  SECTION 24 shall  apply only to Awards to
Outside  Directors in accordance  with this SECTION 24. The Committee shall have
no authority to determine  the timing of or the terms or conditions of any award
under this SECTION 24.

         (b) At the date of the Parent's  initial public  offering,  each person
serving as an Outside  Director on such date will receive a Non-qualified  Stock
Option to purchase 9,000 Shares at a per Share Option Price equal to the initial
public  offering  price.  Such  Option  shall vest and become  exercisable  with
respect  3,000  Shares on each of the annual  meeting of  shareholders  ("Annual
Meeting") dates, beginning with the Annual Meeting in 1998.


                                       15

<PAGE>


         (c) If any  person  who was not  previously  a member  of the  Board is
elected or appointed an Outside  Director  following the initial public offering
but prior to the date of the  Annual  Meeting  in the year  2000,  such  Outside
Director will receive a  Non-qualified  Stock Option to purchase 7,000 Shares if
such Outside  Director's  service begins prior to the second  anniversary of the
initial  public  offering,  and 5,000 Shares if such Outside  Directors  service
begins after the second  anniversary of the initial public offering but prior to
the date of the Annual  Meeting in the year 2000. It is intended that such grant
may be increased or decreased to extent deemed  appropriate by the Board, in its
sole  discretion,  to reflect the extent to which  Director's  expected  service
prior to the Annual Meeting in 2000 may exceed two years or may be less than one
full year.  The Option  Price of each option  granted  pursuant to this  SECTION
24(c) shall equal the Fair Market  Value on the Date of Grant.  Options  granted
under this SECTION 24(c) shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 33.3%
of the Shares on each Annual Meeting date following the Date of Grant.

         (d) On the date of each  Annual  Meeting,  beginning  with  the  Annual
Meeting in 2000, unless this Plan has been previously  terminated,  each Outside
Director who will continue as a Director  following  such meeting will receive a
Non-qualified  Stock Option to purchase 3,000 Shares.  The Option Price per each
Option granted  pursuant to this SECTION 24(d) shall equal the Fair Market Value
per Share on the Date of Grant.  Such Option  shall vest and become  exercisable
with respect to all 3,000  Shares on the date of the next Annual  Meeting if the
Holder  has been a member of the Board  until  such  date  (whether  or not such
Holder will remain a Director following such Annual Meeting).

         (e) No Outside  Director Option shall be exercisable  prior to vesting.
Each  Outside  Director  Option  shall  expire,  if  unexercised,  on the  tenth
anniversary  of the Date of Grant.  The  Option  Price may be paid in cash or in
Common Stock, including Shares subject to the Outside Director Option.

         (f) Upon  termination of an Outside  Director's  service as a Director,
all Outside  Director Options  theretofore  exercisable and held by such Outside
Director will remain vested and exercisable  through the expiration date and all
remaining  Outside  Director  Options held by such Outside  Director will become
exercisable  and vested and remain so through the expiration  date to the extent
of any Shares that would have become  exercisable  and vested within a period of
less than twelve months  following the date of  termination of his or her status
as Director.  Any unvested Outside Director Options held by the Outside Director
on the date of termination of his or her status as Director will be forfeited to
the extent of any Shares that would not have become vested and exercisable until
at least  twelve  months  from the date of  termination  of his or her status as
Director. The Board may, in its sole discretion, elect to accelerate the vesting
of any Outside Director Options in connection with the termination of his or her
status as Director.

         (g) The Board, in its sole discretion, may determine to reduce the size
of any Outside Director Option prior to Date of Grant or to postpone the vesting
and exercisability of any Outside Director Option prior to Date of Grant.

         25. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION DATE. The Plan shall be effective as
of its Effective  Date,  and shall  terminate on the tenth  anniversary  of such
Effective Date.

                                       for

(the "Option") for a total of _______________  shares of common stock ("Shares")
of Capital  Senior Living  Corporation.  (the  "Company"),  is hereby granted to
____________________ (the "Optionee"), this Option being in all respects subject
to the  terms,  definitions  and  provisions,  of the  1997  Omnibus  Stock  and

expressly provided in this Option.

         1. Option Price.  The Option Price is $____________for each Share.

         2. Vesting of Option Shares. Without limitation,  the Shares subject to

                  [i.e  ____st anniversary of the Date of Grant, or Date of Hire
                  etc].

         (ii)     _____% of the Shares shown in Section 1 on the ______________.

         (iii)    _____% of the Shares shown in Section 1 on the ______________.

         (iv through _________)

[Non "time"  related  vesting dates could be used in place of, or in conjunction

certain level of EPS, (ii) certain aspect of business (optionee responsible for)
attains a targeted  level of  performance,  (iii)  Company  stock hits a certain

for the preceding  Quarter(year  etc) is $_____ or greater,  etc.] but only with

         Re: Capital Senior Living  Corporation - Registration Statement on Form
             S-8

Gentlemen:

         We are  counsel  to  Capital  Senior  Living  Corporation,  a  Delaware
corporation  (the  "Company"),  and have  acted as such in  connection  with the
preparation  of the  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-8  (the  "Registration
Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission on or about
December 3, 1999, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), relating to 2,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of the $0.01 par value common
stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company that have been or may be issued by the
Company pursuant to the 1997 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan for Capital Senior
Living Corporation, as amended (the "Plan").

         You have  requested an opinion with respect to certain legal aspects of
the proposed offering. In connection therewith, we have examined and relied upon
the original,  or copies identified to our satisfaction,  of (1) the Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company,  as amended,  and the Bylaws of the Company, as
amended;  (2) minutes and records of the  corporate  proceedings  of the Company
with respect to the  establishment  of the Plan,  the  reservation  of 2,000,000
Shares to be issued pursuant to the Plan and to which the Registration Statement
relates,  the  issuance of the shares of Common  Stock  pursuant to the Plan and
related matters; (3) the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto,  including
the  Plan;  and (4) such  other  documents  and  instruments  as we have  deemed
necessary  for the  expression  of  opinions  herein  contained.  In making  the
foregoing  examinations,  we have assumed the  genuineness of all signatures and
the  authenticity  of  all  documents  submitted  to us as  originals,  and  the
conformity to original  documents of all documents  submitted to us as certified
or photostatic copies. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion,
and as to the content and form of the Certificate of Incorporation,  as amended,
the Bylaws,  as amended,  minutes,  records,  resolutions and other documents or
writings  of the  Company,  we have  relied,  to the  extent  deemed  reasonably
appropriate,  upon  representations  or certificates of officers or directors of
the Company and upon documents,  records and instruments  furnished to us by the
Company, without independent check or verification of their accuracy.

         Based  upon our  examination,  consideration  of, and  reliance  on the
documents and other matters described above, and assuming that:

         (1) the Shares to be sold and issued in the future  will be duly issued
and sold in accordance with the terms of the Plan;

         (2) the Company maintains an adequate number of authorized but unissued
shares  and/or  treasury  shares  available  for  issuance to those  persons who
purchase Shares pursuant to the Plan; and

         (3) the  consideration  for the Shares  issued  pursuant to the Plan is
actually  received  by the  Company as  provided in the Plan and exceeds the par
value of such shares;

then, we are of the opinion that,  the Shares issued or sold in accordance  with
the  terms  of the  Plan  will  be duly  and  validly  issued,  fully  paid  and
nonassessable.

         We hereby  consent to the  filing of this  opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to references to us included in or made a part of the
Registration  Statement.  In giving this  consent,  we do not admit that we come
within the category of persons whose consent is required  under Section 7 of the
Securities  Act or the Rules and  Regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission thereunder.

                                                   Very truly yours,
