                                 (UNAUDITED)

Note 1:  The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in
         accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently, do
         not include all of the disclosures normally required by generally
         accepted accounting principles.  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.

         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
         consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Luby's
         annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1998. The
         accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial
         statements are the same as those described in Luby's annual report on
         Form 10-K.



                        Part I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
_______________________________

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3,064,000 from the end of the preceding
fiscal year to May 31, 1999. All capital expenditures for fiscal 1999 are being
funded from cash flows from operations, cash equivalents, and long-term debt.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended May 31, 1999, were $21,199,000.
As of May 31, 1999, the company owned six undeveloped land sites, four land
sites on which restaurants are under construction, and several properties held
for sale.

During the nine months ended May 31, 1999, the company purchased 850,300 shares
of its common stock at a cost of $12,918,000, which are being held as treasury
stock.   These shares were purchased under a 1,000,000 share authorization
which expired December 31, 1998.  To complete the treasury stock purchases and
fund capital expenditures, the company required external financing and borrowed
funds under a $125,000,000 line-of-credit agreement.  As of May 31, 1999, the
amount outstanding under this line of credit was $74,000,000. The company
believes that additional financing from external sources can be obtained on
terms acceptable to the company in the event such financing is required.

Results of Operations
_____________________

Quarter ended May 31, 1999 compared to the quarter ended May 31, 1998
_____________________________________________________________________

Sales decreased $4,146,000, or 3.2%, primarily due to the closing of ten
restaurants since May 31, 1998.  In addition, sales volumes at restaurants
opened over one year declined 1.4% during the quarter.  This decline was
partially offset by the addition of one new restaurant in fiscal 1999.

Cost of food decreased $3,431,000, or 10.3%, primarily due to the savings
associated with the consolidation of our purchasing under a prime vendor
program and the decline in sales.  As a percentage of sales, food costs were
lower versus the prior year due to various additional factors including
increased drink sales from new self-serve drink counters and other sales mix
changes, the impact of a new manager compensation plan which provides more of
an incentive to improve margins at all sales volumes, and certain menu price
increases.  Although sales declined, payroll and related costs increased
slightly due to higher hourly wage rates related to tight labor markets for
entry-level employees.  Occupancy and other operating expenses remain fairly
flat as the increase in advertising expenditures, higher food-to-go packaging
costs, and higher costs associated with the rollout of a new uniform program
for restaurant employees were offset by fewer restaurants and lower
depreciation expense associated with store closings and asset impairments.
General and administrative expenses decreased $1,307,000, or 19.6%, as the
recording of a lump sum severance agreement and professional fees associated
with the company's strategic plan were recorded in the prior year.

Interest expense decreased $123,000, or 9.5%, due to lower average borrowings
under the line of credit agreement and a lower weighted average interest rate
during the current period as compared to the same period last year.

The provision for income taxes declined $133,000, or 3.0%, as the effective tax
rate decreased from 35.6% to 33.2% due to lower estimated state taxes as well
as higher than expected tax credits.

Nine months ended May 31, 1999 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 1998
_____________________________________________________________________________

Sales decreased $2,543,000, or 0.7%, primarily due to the closing of five
restaurants in fiscal 1998 and eight restaurants in fiscal 1999.  This decline
was partially offset by the addition of one new restaurant in fiscal 1999 and
five in fiscal 1998.  In addition, sales volumes at restaurants opened over one
year increased approximately 1.0%.

Cost of food decreased $4,155,000, or 4.3%, primarily due to the savings
associated with our conversion to a prime vendor program and the decline in
sales.  As a percentage of sales, food costs were lower versus the prior year
due to various additional factors including increased drink sales from new
self-serve drink counters and other sales mix changes, the impact of a new
manager compensation plan which provides more of an incentive to improve
margins at all sales volumes, and certain menu price increases. Although sales
declined, payroll and related costs remained fairly flat due to higher hourly
wage rates related to tight labor markets for entry-level employees.  Occupancy
and other operating expenses increased $2,049,000, or 1.8%, due to an increase
in advertising expenditures, higher food-to-go packaging costs, and higher
costs associated with the rollout of a new uniform program for all hourly
employees.  These increases were partially offset by fewer restaurants and
lower depreciation expense associated with store closings and asset
impairments.  General and administrative expenses declined $59,000 or 0.3%.
The recording of a lump sum severance agreement and professional fees
associated with the company's strategic plan which were recorded in the prior
year were offset by higher corporate salaries and benefits associated with the
addition of new positions to support the implementation of the company's
strategic plan and costs relating to increased recruiting and training efforts
for store management in the current year.

Interest expense decreased $202,000, or 5.3%, due to lower average borrowings
under the line-of-credit agreement and a lower weighted average interest rate
during the current period as compared to the same period last year.

The provision for income taxes decreased $460,000, or 3.9%.  The effective tax
rate decreased from 35.6% to 34.3% due to lower estimated state taxes and
higher than expected tax credits.

The Year 2000
_____________

During 1998 the company, in the ordinary course of business, decided to migrate
its information technology from internally developed systems to commercially
available products.  The decision was made for a variety of business reasons
and the new systems are designed to provide the infrastructure to support
corporate and restaurant-based systems.  The newly implemented systems are Year
2000 compliant.  The transition to the new technology was completed in January
1999.  The company believes the Year 2000 will not pose significant operational
problems for its computer systems.  The cost of the Year 2000 project is
estimated to be $200,000, primarily for services and costs of updating some
existing software.  The company has established a committee which initiated
communications with various third parties with which it has significant
relationships to determine their readiness with respect to the Year 2000 issue.
These third parties include food and paper distributors, banks, and other
entities.  Based on responses received from these third parties, it appears
that the Year 2000 issues are being addressed.  The company has not been
informed of significant Year 2000 issues by third parties with which it has
material relationships.  The company intends to continue communications and
monitor Year 2000 concerns that might develop.

The company has obtained assurances that our primary food and paper
distributors will have ample stock on hand should any secondary distributors
experience unanticipated Year 2000 issues.  Based on our findings and
discussions with all significant vendors, the company believes the likelihood
is remote that its vendors have not fully addressed the Year 2000 issues.
However, despite the company's diligent preparation, some of its vendors may
fail to perform effectively or may fail to timely or completely deliver
products or services.  In those circumstances, the company expects to be able
to conduct normal business operations and to be able to obtain necessary
products from alternative vendors, however, there would be some disruption
which would have an adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows.

                         RESOLUTIONS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

                                      SERP

WHEREAS, the Company currently maintains the Luby's Cafeterias, Inc.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") for certain of its key
executives; and

WHEREAS, the Company is establishing a Luby's, Inc.  Deferred Compensation Plan
(the "Deferred Compensation Plan") for the benefit of all of its highly
compensated employees (some of which are covered as Participants under the
SERP); and

WHEREAS, under the Deferred Compensation Plan eligible highly compensated
employees will be electing to defer the receipt of compensation they otherwise
would be entitled to receive for services performed for the Company; and

WHEREAS, such deferral of compensation would serve to reduce benefits
Participants in the SERP would otherwise be entitled to receive; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires that SERP benefits payable to highly compensated
employees deferring compensation under the Deferred Compensation Plan should not
be reduced;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:  The Board of Directors of the Company
authorizes and directs the appropriate officers of the Company to amend the SERP
by amending the definition of "Accrued Benefit" contained in Section 1.1 of the
SERP by inserting the following sentence at the end thereof:

       Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 1.1
       to the contrary, the offset described above for the Annualized
       Value of any Deferred Compensation Agreement shall not include
       any offset for benefits accrued under the Luby's, Inc.
       Deferred Compensation Plan established effective June 1, 1999,
       as it may be amended from time to time.



                                                             Exhibit 10(cc)

Year will be effective only upon receipt by the Committee of the Participant's
Elective Deferral Agreement on such form and at such time as will be determined
by the Committee from time to time.  If the Committee fails to receive a
Participant's Elective Deferral Agreement prior to the beginning of a Plan Year,
that Participant will be deemed to have elected to continue in effect his
current election to defer (or not defer) any part of his Compensation and/or
Bonus for that Plan Year, as well as subsequent Plan Years, until he has revoked
or modified his election.

     3.2  Deferral Amount.  A Participant may elect to defer a percentage of his
Compensation for the ensuing Plan Year under this Plan in such percentage of his
Compensation as the Committee may announce prior to the commencement of the Plan
Year.  Notwithstanding the preceding provision of this Section 3.2, with respect
to an eligible Participant who has not met the eligibility conditions to
participate in the 401(k) Plan, such a Participant shall be entitled to elect to
defer an additional amount or percentage of his or her Compensation as the
Committee may announce prior to the commencement of the Plan Year; provided,
however, at such point in time that the eligible Participant becomes eligible to
participate in the 401(k) Plan, he or she shall only be entitled to elect to
defer a percentage of his or her Compensation for the remainder of the Plan Year
as is made available to all other Plan Participants.  Finally, a Participant may
also elect to defer all or a percentage of his or her Bonus, if any, to be paid
during the ensuing Plan Year.  The amount of any Bonus to be deferred may be any
amount or percentage elected by the Participant prior to the commencement of the
Plan Year during which the Bonus is to be earned.


                                ARTICLE IV

                                 ACCOUNT

     4.1  Establishing a Participant's Account.  The Committee will establish an
Account for each Participant in a special Deferred Compensation Ledger which
will be maintained by the Company.  The Account will reflect the amount of the
Company's obligation to the Participant at any given time.

     4.2  Credit of the Participant's Deferral.  The Committee will credit the
amount of a Participant's deferral to the Participant's Account in the Deferred
Compensation Ledger as it would have been paid during the Plan Year but for the
deferral which was elected.

     4.3  Gauge for Determining Benefits.  The Compensation and/or Bonus
deferred pursuant to the Elective Deferral Agreement, if any, when allocated to
the Account of the Participant, shall be treated as if it were invested in the
Fund as of the date of allocation.  The amounts entered in the Account shall
then begin accruing gains and losses and income at the rate set forth under the
Fund as if those amounts were actually invested in the Fund, and shall continue
to accrue such gains and losses and income at the rate set forth under the Fund
until the valuation date established by the Committee that precedes the date
such amounts are distributed from the Account to the Participant pursuant to
Article VI of the Plan.


                                   ARTICLE V

                                    VESTING

     All deferrals of Compensation and/or Bonus, pursuant to the Elective
Deferral Agreement will be 100% vested at all times.  The gains, losses and
earnings allocated on those deferrals will be 100% vested.


                                  ARTICLE VI

                                DISTRIBUTIONS

     6.1  Death/Beneficiary Designation.  Upon the death of a Participant, the
Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will receive the balance then
credited to the Participant's Account in the Deferred Compensation Ledger in the
form of a lump sum distribution.  The payment will be made or commence to be
paid within 90 days after the Participant's death.

     Each Participant, at the time of entering into his initial Elective
Deferral Agreement, must file with the Committee a designation of one or more
Beneficiaries to whom distributions otherwise due the Participant will be made
in the event of his death prior to the complete distribution of the amount
credited to his Account in the Deferred Compensation Ledger.  The designation
will be effective upon receipt by the Committee of a properly executed form
which the Committee has approved for that purpose.  The Participant may from
time to time revoke or change any designation of Beneficiary by filing another
approved Beneficiary designation form with the Committee.  If there is no valid
designation of Beneficiary on file with the Committee at the time of the
Participant's death, or if all of the Beneficiaries designated in the last
Beneficiary designation have predeceased the Participant or otherwise ceased to
exist, the Beneficiary will be the Participant's spouse, if the spouse survives
the Participant, or otherwise the Participant's estate.  A Beneficiary must
survive the Participant by 60 days in order to be considered to be living on the
date of the Participant's death.  If any Beneficiary survives the Participant
but dies or otherwise ceases to exist before receiving all amounts due the
Beneficiary from the Participant's Account, the balance of the amount which
would have been paid to that Beneficiary will, unless the Participant's
designation provides otherwise, be distributed to the individual deceased
Beneficiary's estate or to the Participant's estate in the case of a Beneficiary
which is not an individual.  Any Beneficiary designation which designates any
person or entity other than the Participant's spouse must be consented to in
writing in a form acceptable to the Committee in order to be effective.

     6.2  Disability.  Upon the Disability of the Participant, the Participant
shall receive or commence to receive the value of the amounts credited to his
Account as soon as administratively practicable following determination of said
Participant's Disability, in the form of a lump sum distribution if the balance
then credited to the Participant's Account does not exceed $50,000.  In the
event the balance then credited to the Participant's Account is in excess of
$50,000 but less than $200,000, then the amount shall be distributed in the form
of five annual installments.  If the balance then credited to the Participant's
Account exceeds $200,000, then it shall be distributed in ten annual
installments.  Any such Accounts distributed in installment payments shall
continue to accrue earning to the Account as set forth in section 4.3 of the
Plan until such Account has been fully distributed.

     6.3  Retirement.  Upon the Retirement of the Participant, the Participant
shall receive or commence to receive the value of the amounts credited to his
Account as soon as administratively practicable following said Participant's
Retirement, in the manner set forth in Section 6.2 as if the Participant had
become Disabled; provided, however, that a Participant may, upon giving at least
one year's notice prior to his or her actual Retirement, elect to receive a
distribution exceeding $200,000 in five annual installments or, in the
alternative, a distribution exceeding $50,000 but less than $200,000 in ten
annual installments if said election is provided to the Committee at least one
year prior to the Participant's Retirement.

     6.4  Termination Prior to Death, Disability or Retirement.  Upon the
Participant's termination from the employ of the Employer, prior to death,
Disability or Retirement, the Participant shall receive the value of the amounts
credited his Account as soon as administratively practicable following said
Participant's termination in the manner set forth in Section 6.1 as if the
Participant had died.

     6.5  Hardship Withdrawals.  Any Participant may request a hardship
withdrawal.  No hardship withdrawal can exceed the lesser of the amount credited
to the Participant's Account or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the
emergency need taking into account all other resources reasonably available to
meet this Participant's emergency need.  Whether a hardship exists and the
amount reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency need (taking into account the
Participant's other means) will be determined by the Committee based upon the
evidence presented by the Participant and the rules established in this Section;
but shall include but not be limited to unforeseeable emergencies arising from
unexpected illness or accident involving the Participant or his dependents, loss
of property due to casualty or other extraordinary circumstances such as
impending bankruptcy, a long and serious illness of the Participant or his
dependents.  If a hardship withdrawal is approved by the Committee it will be
paid within 10 days of the Committee's determination.  The circumstances that
will constitute a hardship will depend upon the facts of each case.  It is the
intent of the Company that this section 6.5 be interpreted in a manner
consistent with Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 92-65 as it may be
amended or superceded from time to time.

     6.6  Payment on Specified Event.  The Participant shall have the right to
make one election at his or her commencement of participation in the Plan to
receive in one lump-sum that portion or those portions of his Account on a
specific date specified by the Participant in his Elective Deferral Agreement
(or any other agreement provided by the Committee for this purpose) or the
balance of his Account, if less, so long as the date specified is at least five
(5) years after the date of the election. In addition to the Participant's right
to make an election at his or her commencement of participation, the Participant
shall also have the right to request a lump sum distribution of all or a portion
of his Account on any future date specified by the Participant.  However, in the
event of such a subsequent distribution, the Participant must either (i) suffer
a 10% forfeiture of the amount that would otherwise be distributed or
(ii) refrain from future participation in the Plan for a period of at least five
years from the date of the distribution.  The same forfeiture or hold out
requirement shall apply in the event the Participant elects to modify or revoke
his or her election made at commencement of participation in the Plan but prior
to distribution pursuant to that initial election.  Any amounts distributed
under his Elective Deferral Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall
immediately reduce the Participant's Account for purposes of any further income
accrual and for distributions on or after that date.

     6.7  Responsibility for Distributions and Withholding of Taxes.  The
Committee will furnish information to the Company concerning the amount and form
of distribution to any Participant entitled to a distribution so that the
Company may make or cause the Trust (if one is established) to make the
distribution required.  The Committee will also calculate the deductions from
the amount of the benefit paid under the Plan for any taxes required to be
withheld by federal, state or local government and will cause them to be
withheld.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                ADMINISTRATION

     7.1  Committee Appointment.  The Committee will be comprised of those
persons designated from time to time by its Board of Directors.  The Board of
Directors will have the sole discretion to remove any one or more Committee
members and appoint one or more replacement or additional Committee members from
time to time.

     7.2  Committee Organization and Voting.  The Board of Directors will select
from among the members of the Committee a chairman who will preside at all of
its meetings and who will likewise select a secretary without regard to whether
that person is a member of the Committee.  The secretary will keep all records,
documents and data pertaining to the Committee's supervision and administration
of the Plan.  A majority of the members of the Committee will constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business and the vote of a majority of the members
present at any meeting will decide any question brought before the meeting.  In
addition, the Committee may decide any question by vote, taken without a
meeting, of a majority of its members.  A member of the Committee who is also a
Participant will not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself.

     7.3  Powers of the Committee.  The Committee will have the exclusive
responsibility for the general administration of the Plan according to the terms
and provisions of the Plan and will have all powers necessary to accomplish
those purposes, including but not by way of limitation the right, power and
authority:

          (a)  to determine the amount or percentage of Compensation that
     Participants may elect to defer in a given Plan Year;

          (b)  to make rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan;

          (c)  to construe all terms, provisions, conditions and limitations of
     the Plan;

          (d)  to determine whether a Change of Control has occurred;

          (e)  to correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any
     inconsistency that may appear in the Plan in the manner and to the extent
     it deems expedient to carry the Plan into effect for the greatest benefit
     of all parties at interest;

          (f)  to designate the persons eligible to become Participants;

          (g)  to determine all controversies relating to the administration of
     the Plan, including but not limited to:

               (1)  differences of opinion arising between the Company and a
          Participant, except when the difference of opinion relates to the
          entitlement to, or the amount of, or the method or timing of payment
          of a benefit affected by a Change of Control, in which event it shall
          be decided by judicial action; and

               (2)  any question it deems advisable to determine in order to
          promote the uniform administration of the Plan for the benefit of all
          parties at interest; and

          (h)  to delegate by written notice those clerical and recordation
     duties of the Committee, as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper
     and efficient administration of the Plan.

     7.4  Committee Discretion.  The Committee in exercising any power or
authority granted under this Plan or in making any determination under this Plan
shall perform or refrain from performing those acts using its sole discretion
and judgment.  Any decision made by the Committee or any refraining to act or
any act taken by the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding on all
parties.  The Committee's decision shall never be subject to de novo review.

      7.5  Annual Statements.  The Committee will cause each Participant to
receive an annual (or more frequent, as determined by the Committee) statement
as soon as administratively practicable after the conclusion of each Plan Year
(or other more frequent reporting period, as applicable) containing the amounts
deferred through that Plan Year (or other more frequent reporting period, as
applicable) and the interest or earnings applicable to the deferred amounts.

     7.6  Reimbursement of Expenses.  The Committee will serve without
compensation for their services but will be reimbursed by the Company for all
expenses properly and actually incurred in the performance of their duties under
the Plan.


                                     ARTICLE VIII

                             AMENDMENT AND/OR TERMINATION

                                 AND CHANGE OF CONTROL

     8.1  Amendment or Termination of the Plan.  The Board of Directors may
amend or terminate this Plan at any time by an instrument in writing.

     8.2  No Retroactive Effect on Account.  No amendment will affect the rights
of any Participant to the amounts then standing to his credit in his Account in
the Deferred Compensation Ledger, to change the method of calculating the rate
of earnings under the Fund already accrued on amounts deferred by him prior to
the date of the amendment.  However, the Committee shall retain the right at any
time to change in any manner the method of calculating the rate of earnings
under the Fund on all amounts deferred by a Participant after the date of the
amendment if it has been announced to the Participants.

     8.3  Effect of Change of Control.  In the event a Change of Control of the
Company, this Plan shall automatically terminate effective as of the Change of
Control.  The Accounts of each Participant shall be paid in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.4, as soon as administratively practicable following the
Change of Control.

     8.4  Effect of Termination.  If the Plan is terminated, all amounts
deferred by Participants and credited to a Participant's Account remain vested
under Article V, and earnings under the Fund will be applied to the Account in
accordance with Section 4.3 as if the Participant were entitled to and did die
on the date the Plan terminated.  Distribution will be made to the Participant
in accordance with Section 6.1 as if the Participant had died, as soon as
administratively practicable in one lump sum payment to the Participant.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                                     FUNDING

     9.1 Payments Under This Agreement are the Obligation of the Company.  The
Company will pay the benefits due the Participants under this Plan; however
should it fail to do so when a benefit is due, the benefit will be paid by the
trustee of the Trust entered by and between the Company and the Trustee, should
such a Trust be established.  In any event, if the Trust, should such a Trust be
established, fails to pay for any reason, the Company remains liable for the
payment of all benefits provided by this Plan.

     9.2  Agreement May Be Funded Through Rabbi Trust.  It is specifically
recognized by both the Company and the Participants that the Company may, but is
not required to, contribute any amount it finds desirable to a so-called "Rabbi
Trust," established to accumulate assets sufficient to fund the obligations of
the Company under this Plan.  However, under all circumstances, the rights of
the Participants to the assets held in the Trust will be no greater than the
rights expressed in this agreement.  Nothing contained in any trust agreement
which creates any funding trust or trusts will constitute a guarantee by the
Company that assets of the Company transferred to that trust or those trusts
will be sufficient to pay any benefits under this Plan or would place the
Participant in a secured position ahead of general creditors should the Company
become insolvent or bankrupt.  Any trust agreement prepared to fund the
Company's obligations under this agreement must specifically set out these
principles so it is clear in that trust agreement that the Participants in this
Plan are only unsecured general creditors of the Company in relation to their
benefits under this Plan.

     9.3  Participants Must Rely Only on General Credit of the Company.  It is
also specifically recognized by both the Company and the Participants that this
Plan is only a general corporate commitment and that each Participant must rely
upon the general credit of the Company for the fulfillment of its obligations
hereunder.  Under all circumstances the rights of Participants to any asset held
by the Company will be no greater than the rights expressed in this agreement.
Nothing contained in this agreement will constitute a guarantee by the Company
that the assets of the Company will be sufficient to pay any benefits under this
Plan or would place the Participant in a secured position ahead of general
creditors of the Company.  Though the Company may establish and may fund a Rabbi
Trust, as indicated in Section 9.2, to accumulate assets to fulfill its
obligations, the Plan and any such trust will not create any lien, claim,
encumbrance, right, title or other interest of any kind whatsoever in any
Participant in any asset held by the Company, contributed to any such trust or
otherwise designated to be used for payment of any of its obligations created in
this agreement.  No specific assets of the Company have been or will be set
aside, or will in any way be transferred to any trust or will be pledged in any
way for the performance of the Company's obligations under this Plan which would
remove such assets from being subject to the general creditors of the Company.


                                   ARTICLE X

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     10.1  Limitation of Rights.  Nothing in this Plan will be construed:

          (a)  to give any non-employee member of the Board of Directors any
     right to be designated a Participant in the Plan;

          (b)  to give a Participant any right with respect to the compensation
     deferred or the interest credited in the Deferred Compensation Ledger,
     except in accordance with the terms of this Plan; or

          (c)  to give a Participant or any other person claiming through him
     any interest or right under this Plan other than that of any unsecured
     general creditor of the Company.

     10.2  Distributions to Incompetents or Minors.  Should a Participant become
incompetent or should a Participant designate a Beneficiary who is a minor or
incompetent, the Committee is authorized to pay the funds due to the parent of
the minor or to the guardian of the minor or incompetent or directly to the
minor or to apply those funds for the benefit of the minor or incompetent in any
manner the Committee determines in its sole discretion.

     10.3  Nonalienation of Benefits.  No right or benefit provided in this Plan
will be transferable by the Participant except, upon his death, to a named
Beneficiary as provided in this Plan.  No right or benefit under this Plan will
be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or
charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber,
or charge the same will be void.  No right or benefit under this Plan will in
any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities or
torts of the person entitled to such benefits.  If any Participant or any
Beneficiary becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign,
pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit under this Plan, that right or
benefit will, in the discretion of the Committee, cease.  In that event, the
Committee may have the Company hold or apply the right or benefit or any part of
it to the benefit of the Participant or Beneficiary, his or her spouse, children
or other dependents or any of them in any manner and in any proportion the
Committee believes to be proper in its sole and absolute discretion, but is not
required to do so.

     10.4  Reliance Upon Information.  The Committee will not be liable for any
decision or action taken in good faith in connection with the administration of
this Plan.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any decision or
action taken by the Committee when it relies upon information supplied it by any
officer of the Company, the Company's legal counsel, the Company's independent
accountants or other advisors in connection with the administration of this Plan
will be deemed to have been taken in good faith.

     10.5  Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or condition of the
Plan is held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, the rest of the
Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated.

     10.6  Notice.  Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to
the Committee or a Participant will be sufficient if in writing and hand
delivered or sent by U.S. mail to the principal office of the Company or to the
residential mailing address of the Participant.  Notice will be deemed to be
given as of the date of hand delivery or if delivery is by mail, as of the date
shown on the postmark.

     10.7  Gender and Number.  Words used in this Plan of one gender are to be
construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases where
they would so apply and likewise words in the singular or plural are to be
construed as though they also included the other in all cases where they would
so apply.

     10.8  Governing Law.  The Plan will be construed, administered and governed
in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas.

     10.9  Effective Date.  This amendment and restatement of the Plan will be
operative and effective on June 1, 1999.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this document on this 20th
day of April, 1999, as authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on
the 8th day of January, 1999.
