Item 1.  Financial Statements (continued).
                                         
                                  LUBY'S CAFETERIAS, INC. 
                               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     February 28, 1994
                                        (UNAUDITED)

Note 1:   All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
          a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been
          made.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The
          results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of
          the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2:   Effective September 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No.
          109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  Under Statement 109, the 
          liability method is used in accounting for income taxes.  Under this
          method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
          differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
          liabilities ("temporary differences") and are measured using the 
          enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
          are expected to reverse.  Prior to the adoption of Statement 109,
          income tax expense was determined using the deferred method.  Deferred
          tax expense was based on items of income and expense that were
          reported in different years in the financial statements and tax
          returns and were measured at the tax rate in effect in the year the
          difference originated.

          As permitted by Statement 109, the Company has elected not to restate
          the financial statements of any prior years.  The effect of the change
          on pretax income from continuing operations for the six month periods
          ended February 28, 1994 and 1993, was not material; however, the
          cumulative effect of the change increased net income by $1,563,000, or
          $.06 per share.

          The tax effect of temporary differences results in deferred income tax
          assets and liabilities as follows:
                                                         February 28, 1994

          The above amounts aggregate to a current deferred tax asset of
          $822,000 and to a noncurrent deferred tax liability of $16,731,000 at
          February 28, 1994.  

Note 3:   During February 1994, the Company borrowed $6,000,000 under a
          $30,000,000 line of credit agreement which expires in January 1995. 
          The current borrowings bear interest at 3.75% and mature on March 17,
          1994.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
________________________________

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $25,659,000 from the end of the preceding
fiscal year to February 28, 1994.  All capital expenditures for fiscal 1994 are
being funded from cash flows from operations, cash equivalents and short-term
borrowings.  Capital expenditures for the six months ended February 28, 1994,
were $10,856,000.  As of February 28, 1994, the Company owned 17 undeveloped 
land sites.

During the six months ended February 28, 1994, the Company purchased 1,553,100
shares of its common stock at a cost of $34,681,000, which are being held as
treasury stock.  To complete this purchase and fund capital expenditures, the
Company required external financing and borrowed funds under a $30,000,000 line
of credit agreement.  At February 28, 1994, the amount outstanding under this
line of credit was $6,000,000.

Results of Operations
_____________________

Quarter ended February 28, 1994 compared to the quarter ended February 28, 1993.
_____________________________________________________________________________

Sales increased $5,422,000, or 6.1%, due to the addition of two new cafeterias
in fiscal 1994 and six in fiscal 1993, and due to an increase in average sales
volume at cafeterias opened over one year.  

Cost of food increased $1,129,000, or 5%, due primarily to the increase in
sales.  Payroll and related costs increased $1,504,000, or 6.3%, due primarily
to the increase in sales, while workers' compensation costs remained stable.
Occupancy and other operating expenses increased $1,750,000, or 6.8%, due 
primarily to the increase in sales, higher advertising expenditures, and higher 
managers' salaries, which are based on the profitability of the cafeterias. 
General and administrative expenses decreased $191,000, or 4.8%, due to the
lower Company contribution to the profit sharing and retirement plan as
determined by the plan's provisions.

The provision for income taxes increased $459,000, or 9.8%, due primarily to the
increase in operating income.  The effective income tax rate increased from 37%
to 37.6% due primarily to the increase in federal income tax rates effective
January 1, 1993.

<PAGE>
Six months ended February 28, 1994 compared to the six months ended 
February 28, 1993.
______________________________________________________________________________

Sales increased $10,991,000, or 6.2%, due primarily to the addition of three new
cafeterias in fiscal 1994 and six in fiscal 1993, and due to an increase in
average sales volume at cafeterias opened over one year.  

Cost of food increased $2,914,000, or 6.5%, due primarily to the increase in
sales and higher food costs for certain items such as poultry, oils and
shortening.  Payroll and related costs increased $2,752,000, or 5.7%, due
primarily to the increase in sales, and were partially offset by lower costs of
workers' compensation insurance.  Occupancy and other operating expenses
increased $3,734,000, or 7.3%, due primarily to the increase in sales, higher
advertising expenditures and higher managers' salaries, which are based on the
profitability of the cafeterias.  General and administrative expenses decreased
$844,000, or 10.3%, due to the lower Company contribution to the profit sharing
and retirement plan as determined by the plan's provisions.  In addition, the
six months ended February 28, 1993, included costs for the settlement of
litigation.

The provision for income taxes increased $1,024,000, or 11%, due primarily to 
the increase in operating income.  The effective income tax rate increased from 
37% to 37.6% due primarily to the increase in federal income tax rates effective
January 1, 1993.

                            LUBY'S CAFETERIAS, INC.
                       (as in effect February 28, 1994)


      FIRST.      The name of the Corporation is LUBY'S CAFETERIAS, INC.

      SECOND.     The address of the registered office of the Corporation in
the State of Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, in the
City of Wilmington, County of New Castle.  The name of the registered agent of
the Corporation at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

      THIRD.      The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful
act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

      FOURTH.     The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the
Corporation shall have authority to issue is one hundred million (100,000,000)
shares of Common Stock of the par value of thirty-two cents ($.32) per share.

      FIFTH.      The period of the Corporation's duration is perpetual.

      SIXTH.      (a)  Number, Election and Terms of Directors.  The business
and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by a Board of Directors which
shall consist of not less than nine nor more than fifteen persons, who need
not be residents of the State of Delaware or stockholders of the Corporation. 
The exact number of directors within the minimum and maximum limitations
specified in the preceding sentence shall be fixed from time to time by the
Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the
entire Board of Directors.  The directors shall be divided into three classes,
as nearly equal in number as possible, with the term of office of the first
class to expire at the 1992 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the term of office
of the second class to expire at the 1993 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and
the term of office of the third class to expire at the 1994 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.   At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders following such initial
classification and election, directors elected to succeed those directors
whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the
third succeeding Annual Meeting of Stockholders after their election.

            (b)  Newly Created Directorships.  A directorship to be filled by
reason of an increase in the number of directors may be filled (i) by election
at an Annual or Special Meeting of Stockholders called for that purpose or
(ii) by the Board of Directors for a term of office continuing only until the
next election of one or more directors by the stockholders; provided that the
Board of Directors may not fill more than two such directorships during the
period between any two successive Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

            (c)  Vacancies in the Board of Directors.  Any vacancies in the
Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall be filled by a
majority vote of the directors then in office, and directors so chosen shall
hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which
the term of the class to which they have been elected expires.   No decrease
in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten
the term of any incumbent director.

            (d)  Removal of Directors.  Any director, or the entire Board of
Directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only
by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of
all of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors, voting together as a single class.

            (e)  Amendment, Repeal, etc.    Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of the
Corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be
specified by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of the
Corporation), the affirmative vote of the holders of 80% or more of the voting
power of the shares of the Corporation then outstanding, voting together as a
single class, shall be required to alter, amend, repeal or adopt any provision
inconsistent with this Article Sixth.

      SEVENTH.    In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred
by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors is expressly
authorized to make, alter, adopt, amend, change or repeal the By-laws of the
Corporation.

      EIGHTH.     The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change
or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the
manner now or hereafter prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware.  All
rights herein conferred are granted subject to this reservation.

      NINTH.      The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify to the
fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under, the laws of
the State of Delaware any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to
any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, advisory
director or officer of the Corporation, or served another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise as a director, advisory
director, officer, employee or agent at the request of the Corporation,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding.  The Board of Directors in
its discretion shall have the power on behalf of the Corporation to indemnify
similarly any person, other than a director, advisory director or officer,
made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he
is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation.  The provisions of this
Article Ninth shall be applicable to persons who have ceased to be directors,
advisory directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation and shall
inure to the benefit of their heirs, executors and administrators.

      TENTH.      Pursuant to section 102(b)(7) (or any successor statute) of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the personal liability
of a director to the Corporation or the stockholders of the Corporation for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty is hereby eliminated.  The terms
of the preceding sentence, however, shall not eliminate or limit the liability
of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Corporation or the stockholders of the Corporation, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 (or a successor statute) of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

      ELEVENTH.  Section l.  Vote Required for Certain Business Combinations.

      A.    Higher Vote for Certain Business Combinations.  In addition to any
affirmative vote required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation, and

  Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) with (a) any Interested Stockholder (as
  hereinafter defined) or (b) any other corporation (whether or not itself an
  Interested Stockholder) which is, or after such merger or consolidation would
  be, an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of an Interested Stockholder; or

            (ii)  any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or
  other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions) to or with
  any Interested Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Interested Stockholder of
  any assets of the Corporation or any Subsidiary having an aggregate Fair
  Market Value of $10,000,000 or more; or

            (iii)  the issuance or transfer by the Corporation or any
  Subsidiary (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of any securities
  of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to any Interested Stockholder or any
  Affiliate of any Interested Stockholder in exchange for cash, securities or
  other property (or a combination thereof) having an aggregate Fair Market
  Value of $10,000,000 or more; or

            (iv)  the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation
  or dissolution of the Corporation proposed by or on behalf of an Interested
  Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Interested Stockholder; or
 
            (v)  any reclassification of securities (including any reverse
  stock split), or recapitalization of the Corporation, or any merger or
  consolidation of the Corporation with any of its Subsidiaries or any other
  transaction with any of its Subsidiaries or any other transaction (whether or
  not with or into or otherwise involving an Interested Stockholder) which has
  the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of
  the outstanding shares of any class of equity or convertible securities of the
  Corporation or any Subsidiary which is directly or indirectly owned by any
  Interested Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Interested Stockholder; 

shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the
voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
"Voting Stock"), voting together as a single class.  Such affirmative vote
shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required, or
that a lesser percentage may be specified, by law or in any agreement with any
national securities exchange or otherwise.

      B.    Definition of "Business Combination."  The term "Business
Combination" as used in this Article shall mean any transaction which is
referred to in any one or more of clauses (i) through (v) of paragraph A of
this Section 1.

      Section 2.  When Higher Vote is Not Required.  The provisions of Section
I of this Article shall not be applicable to any particular Business
Combination, and such Business Combination shall require only such affirmative
vote as is required by law and any other provision of this Certificate of
Incorporation, if all of the conditions specified in either of the following
paragraphs A and B are met:

      A.    Approval by Continuing Directors.  The Business Combination shall
have been approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors (as hereinafter
defined).

      B.    Price and Procedure Requirements.  All of the following conditions
shall have been met:

            (i)  The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value
(as hereinafter defined) as of the date of the consummation of the Business
Combination of consideration other than cash to be received per share by
holders of Common Stock in such Business Combination shall be at least equal
to the higher of the following:

                  (a)  (if applicable) the highest per share price (including
any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees) paid
by the Interested Stockholder for any shares of Common Stock acquired by it
(1) within the two-year period immediately prior to the first public
announcement of the proposal of the Business Combination (the "Announcement
Date") or (2) in the transaction in which it became an Interested Stockholder,
whichever is higher;  and 

                  b)  The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the
Announcement Date or on the date on which the Interested Stockholder became an
Interested Stockholder (such latter date being referred to in this Article as
the "Determination Date"), whichever is higher.

            (ii)  The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value
as of the date of the consummation of the Business Combination of
consideration other than cash to be received per share by holders of shares of
any other class of outstanding Voting Stock shall be at least equal to the
highest of the following (it being intended that the requirements of this
paragraph B(ii) shall be required to be met with respect to every class of
outstanding Voting Stock, whether or not the Interested Stockholder has
previously acquired any shares of a particular class of Voting Stock):

                  (a)  (if applicable) the highest per share price (including
any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees) paid
by the Interested Stockholder for any shares of such class of Voting Stock
acquired by it (1) within the two year period immediately prior to the
Announcement Date or (2) in the transaction in which it became an Interested
Stockholder, whichever is higher;

                  (b)  (if applicable) the highest preferential amount per
share to which the holders of shares of such class of Voting Stock are
entitled in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation; and

                  (c)  the Fair Market Value per share of such class of Voting
Stock on the Announcement Date or on the Determination Date, whichever is
higher.

            (iii)  The consideration to be received by holders of a particular
class of outstanding Voting Stock (including Common Stock) shall be in cash or
in the same form as the Interested Stockholder has previously paid for shares
of such class of Voting Stock.  If the Interested Stockholder has paid for
shares of any class of Voting Stock with varying forms of consideration, the
form of consideration for such class of Voting Stock shall be either cash or
the form used to acquire the largest number of shares of such class of Voting
Stock previously acquired by it. In the determination of amounts per share
pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this paragraph B, appropriate
adjustment shall be made to reflect any stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares or similar event.

            (iv)  After such Interested Stockholder has become an Interested
Stockholder and prior to the consummation of such Business Combination: 
(a) there shall have been (1) no reduction in the annual rate of dividends paid
on the Common Stock (except as necessary to reflect any subdivision of the 
Common Stock), except as approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors, 
and (2) an increase in such annual rate of dividends as necessary to reflect any
reclassification (including any reverse stock split), recapitalization,
reorganization or any similar transaction which has the effect of reducing the
number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, unless the failure so to
increase such annual rate is approved by a majority of the Continuing
Directors; and (b) such Interested Stockholder shall have not become the
beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Stock except as part of
the transaction which results in such Interested Stockholder becoming an
Interested Stockholder.

            (v)  After such Interested Stockholder has become an Interested
Stockholder, such Interested Stockholder shall not have received the benefit,
directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder), of any
loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax
credits or other tax advantages provided by the Corporation, whether in
anticipation of or in connection with such Business Combination or otherwise.

            (vi)  A proxy or information statement describing the proposed
Business Combination and complying with the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder (or any
subsequent provisions replacing such Act, rules or regulations) shall be
mailed to public stockholders of the Corporation at least 30 days prior to the
consummation of such Business Combination (whether or not such proxy or
information statement is required to be mailed pursuant to such Act or
subsequent provisions).

share of such stock as determined by the Board in good faith; and (ii) in the

the subject of any Business Combination have, or the consideration to be

Loan Type (Check only one option):

                  This Note evidences Loans made by Lender to Borrower pursuant
______            to a line of credit in the Maximum Amount. From the date
                  hereof to _________, 19__ (the "Commitment Termination Date")
                  Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and

                  borrow, repay and reborrow up to the Maximum Amount 
                  ("Committed Loans").

  X               This Note evidences Loans made by Lender to Borrower,
______            which in the aggregate principal amount outstanding sall not
                  exceed the Maximum Amount. Each Loan evidenced hereby shall
                  mature within one year from the date hereof. Borrower
                  acknowledges and agrees that (i) Lender has no obligation to
                  make any Loans and (ii) each Loan shall be in the sole
                  discretion of Lender ("Uncommitted Loans").

      Borrower, for the value received, promises to pay to the order of
NATIONSBANK OF TEXAS, N.A. ("Lender"), at its banking house in Dallas, Texas,
or at any other place designated to Borrower in writing by Lender, in lawful
money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds prior
to 11:00 a.m. Dallas time on the date due, the principal amount of each Loan,
on the earlier of (i) declaration by Lender pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof, or
(ii) the last day of the Interest Period of such Loan, together with interest
on the unpaid principal balance of such Loan at the applicable rates herein set
forth.

      This Note is issued upon the following terms and conditions:

                                  ARTICLE I.

                                   THE LOANS

      1.1. Definitions.  Defined terms used herein shall have the meanings
given to them above and in Article III hereof.

      1.2.  Making the Loans.  Each Fixed Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate
amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.00. Each Loan shall be made by
notice to Lender (stating the Type Loan, the amount of the Loan, the date of
the Loan and the Interest Period for the Loan) not later than 11:30 a.m.,
Dallas time, given by Borrower to Lender (i) as to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, at
least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such Type Loan, (ii) as to any
CD Rate Loan, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such Type
Loan, and (iii) as to any Agreed Rate Loan and any Prime Rate Loan, on the day
of such Type Loan. Lender shall on the date of each Loan not later than 1:00
p.m., Dallas time, in immediately available funds, deposit the proceeds of such
Loan in the general deposit account of Borrower with Lender.

      1.3.  Repayment.  Borrower shall repay the principal amount of each Loan
on the earlier of (i) declaration by Lender pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof, or
(ii) the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan.

      1.4.  Prepayments.  Borrower may prepay any Prime Rate Loan, without
penalty or premium. No prepayment of any Fixed Rate Loan shall be permitted
without the prior written consent of Lender. Notwithstanding such prohibition,
if there is a prepayment of any Fixed Rate Loan, whether by consent of Lender
or because of acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15)
days of any request by Lender, pay to Lender any loss or expense which Lender
may incur or sustain as a result of any such prepayment.

      A statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good
faith and in reasonable detail by Lender and submitted by Lender to Borrower
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in
computation. Calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under this Section
1.4 shall be made as though Lender shall have actually funded or committed to
fund the relevant Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit
in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable
to the related Interest Period; provided, however, that Lender may fund any
Fixed Rate Loan in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be
utilized only for the purpose of calculation of amounts payable under this
Section 1.4.

      1.5.  Yield Protection and Indemnity.  If at any time after the date
hereof, and from time to time, Lender determines that the adoption or
modification of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding taxation,
Lender's required levels of reserves, deposits, insurance or capital (including
any allocation of capital requirements or conditions), or similar requirements,
or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation,
administration or compliance of Lender with any of such requirements, has or
would have the effect of (i) increasing Lender's costs relating to the
Obligation hereunder, or (ii) reducing the yield or rate of return of Lender on
the Obligation hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved
but for the adoption or modification of any such requirements, Borrower shall,
within fifteen (15) days of any request by Lender, pay to Lender such
additional amounts as (in Lender's sole judgment, after good faith and
reasonable computation) will compensate Lender for such increase in costs or
reduction in yield or rate of return of Lender. No failure by Lender to
immediately demand payment of any additional amounts payable hereunder shall
constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amounts at any
subsequent time. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or so operate as
to require Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs or charges at a rate or in
an amount greater than is permitted by Applicable Law.

      1.6. Interest.

      (a)   Prime Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal balance of each Loan
outstanding from time to time as a Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest during
each Interest Period at the Prime Rate plus the percentage, if any, set forth
in the "Interest Rate Options" section of this Note, which interest rate shall
change without notice with each change in such Prime Rate as of the date of any
such change; provided that, if at any time the Prime Rate plus the percentage,
if any, set forth in the "Interest Rate Options" section of this Note exceeds
the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest which each Prime Rate Loan bears
shall be limited to the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in
the Prime Rate shall not reduce the rate of interest which each Prime Rate Loan
bears below the Highest Lawful Rate until the amount of interest accrued on
each Prime Rate Loan equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if
the Prime Rate plus the percentage, if any, set forth in the "Interest Rate
Options" section of this Note had at all times been in effect. Interest on each
Prime Rate Loan for each Interest Period shall be payable on the last day
thereof.

      (b)   CD Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal balance of each Loan
outstanding from time to time as a CD Rate Loan shall bear interest during each
Interest Period at the CD Rate for such CD Rate Loan plus the percentage, if
any, set forth in the "Interest Rate Options" section of this Note. Interest on
each CD Rate Loan for each Interest Period shall be payable on the last day
thereof.

      (c)   Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal balance of each Loan
outstanding from time to time as a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest
during each Interest Period at the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate
Loan plus the percentage, if any, set forth in the "Interest Rate Options"
section of this Note. Interest on each Eurodollar Rate Loan for each Interest
Period shall be payable on the last day thereof.

      (d)   Agreed Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal balance of each Loan
outstanding from time to time as an Agreed Rate Loan shall bear interest during
each Interest Period at the Agreed Rate for such Agreed Rate Loan. Interest on
each Agreed Rate Loan for each Interest Period shall be payable on the last day
thereof.

      (e)   Computations.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 of this
Note, interest on each Loan and any commitment fee shall be calculated on the
basis of actual days elapsed, but computed as if each year consisted of 360
days. The books and records of Lender shall be Prima facie evidence of all sums
due Lender.

      (f)   Past Due Principal and Interest.  All past due principal of and, to
the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest on any Loan and
any other past due amount owing on this Note, shall bear interest from the date
due until paid at the Default Rate.

      1.7.  Events of Default.  It shall be an event of default ("Event of
Default") under this Note and each of any other documents executed in
connection herewith if any one of the following shall occur: (i) Borrower shall
fail to make any payment of principal, interest or other amounts under this
Note when due; (ii) Borrower or any guarantor of this Note shall fail to make
any payment when due on any debt for borrowed money, purchase money debt or
contingent debt which Borrower or any guarantor of this Note is obligated to
pay as borrower, guarantor or in any other capacity or any default or event of
default shall occur under any agreement evidencing or providing for the
creation of such debt or under any other document executed in connection with
this Note; (iii) any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding or any
similar action is commenced with respect to Borrower or any guarantor of this
Note or any of its assets; (iv) Lender shall in good faith believe that the
prospect of payment of amounts due with respect to this Note has been impaired;
or (v) any representation or warranty made by Borrower or any guarantor of this
Note in connection with this Note shall be false or incorrect in any material
respect when made or deemed made.

      If one or more of the foregoing Events of Default shall occur, all or any
part of the outstanding principal of this Note plus accrued unpaid interest on
this Note and any other accrued unpaid amount owing under this Note shall at
the option of Lender become due and payable immediately without notice to
Borrower, which is hereby waived by Borrower, and Lender shall have no further
obligation (if any) to make Loans under this Note, and Lender may exercise any
and all available rights and remedies under any document or instrument executed
in connection with this Note or under Applicable Law.

                                  ARTICLE II.

            ___________ percent (__________%) per annum on the average daily 
            unborrowed portion of the Maximum Amount.  

      2.3.  Expenses.  If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for

receive anything of value deemed interest under Applicable Law which would

reduction of unpaid principal or refunded to Borrower, if it exceeds unpaid
principal. It is further agreed that, without limitation of the foregoing, all
