                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               JUNE 30, 1996

1 - Statement by Management Concerning Interim Financial Information

     The financial information included herein is unaudited and does not
include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements; however, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operation for the interim period.  It is
recommended that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the nine month transition period ended
December 31, 1995.

2 - Income Per Common Share

     Income per common share was computed by dividing the net income for each
period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period.  Common stock options are not considered to be common stock
equivalents as their effect would be anti-dilutive.  The weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the periods were retroactively
restated to give effect to the one-for-five reverse stock split effective
July 19, 1996.

3 - Changes in Stockholders' Equity

     Balances in common stock and in Capital in excess of par value at June
30, 1996 reflect the issuance of 125,000 shares of common stock to a director
of the Company upon the exercise of a stock option during the first quarter
of 1996.  The proceeds were used in the second quarter to repay the $200,000
note payable to a bank.

     On July 11, 1996, the Company's shareholders approved a one-for-five
reverse stock split of the Company's common stock.  The reverse stock split
was effective July 19, 1996.  The par value of common stock and the number of
authorized shares of common stock remained unchanged.  All references in the
financial statements to number of shares, per share amounts and market prices
of the Company's common stock have been retroactively restated to reflect the
decreased number of common shares outstanding.

4 - Employment Agreement

     In April 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an
individual for the position of President 

<PAGE>

and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  The agreement provides for an
annual salary of $140,000, adjusted for incentives, as determined by the
Board of Directors for the period June 1, 1996 through June 1, 1999. 
Pursuant to the employment agreement, options to purchase 100,000 shares of
the Company's common stock are to be granted at a purchase price per share of
$3.00.  The options are to have a ten-year term.  The employment agreement
will not become effective unless the Company is successful in raising a
minimum of $9,000,000 in its contemplated registered public offering.

5 - Deferred Financing and Acquisition Costs

     The $70,000 balance in deferred financing and acquisition costs at June
30, 1996, represents legal, accounting and other costs attributable to the
Company's financing and acquisition activities.  See Note 6.  Deferred
financing costs will be charged against the gross proceeds of the
contemplated financing when and if received.  Deferred acquisition costs will
be capitalized in the cost of the acquisition when and if completed.  If the
contemplated financing and/or acquisitions are not completed, the related
costs will be expensed.

6 - Subsequent Events

     On July 11, 1996, at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the
"Annual Meeting") the shareholders of the Company approved, a one-for-five
reverse stock split of the Company's common stock.  The reverse stock split
became effective July 19, 1996, upon filing of an amendment to the Company's
Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas.

     The shareholders of the Company also approved another amendment to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation that authorizes the issuance of up to
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock that the Board of Directors may issue
from time to time in one or more series.  With respect to each series of
preferred stock, the amendment authorizes the Board to fix and determine by
resolution the number of shares of each series, the designation thereof and
all rights and preferences including voting, dividend, conversion, redemption
and liquidation rights.

     At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders also approved the Company's
stock option plan.  The stock option plan provides for the grant of incentive
stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and stock options that do not qualify under Section 422 to employees
to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of the Company's common
stock.  At the date hereof, options to purchase 280,000 shares remain
available for grant, excluding an option to purchase 100,000 shares at $3.00
per share that may be granted under an employment agreement.  See Note 4.

     At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders also approved a Director Stock
Option Plan, previously adopted by the Board of Directors, whereby up to
1,000,000 post-reverse stock split shares of common stock may be issued to
Directors in consideration of the common stock component of their respective
Annual Director Fee or 

<PAGE>

upon exercise of their respective Director Options.  The Annual Director Fee
is $12,000, payable on the first business day following the end of each
quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 1996, 50% in cash and
50% in Company common stock.  Each Director will be automatically granted a
Director Option, at the then current fair market value, to purchase 100,000
shares of common stock on the date the Director is initially elected or
appointed as a director, or in the case of directors at the time of approval
of the Plan, upon their election or re-election at the Annual Meeting.  Each
Director Option vests in four equal amounts of 25,000 shares per year over
four years, provided that no shares subject to a Director Option will vest in
any year in which the Director attends less than 75% of the Board meetings
held for that fiscal year.  To date, no Director Options have been granted
under the 1996 Director Plan.

     On August 13, 1996, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with
Coda Energy, Inc. ("Coda") to purchase all of the stock of Taurus Energy
Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Coda.  Taurus is actively engaged in the
gathering, processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids. 
At the time of closing, Taurus Energy would own the Hamlin and Shackelford
gas gathering systems located in west Texas, as well as certain other assets. 
Total revenues for these systems were approximately $35 million and $20
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six month period ended
June 30, 1996, respectively.

     The consideration for the Taurus shares would be $35,000,000 in cash and
that number of shares of unregistered Company common stock equal to the
quotient resulting from dividing $10,000,000 by the offering price per share
in the Company's contemplated underwritten offering.  The transaction is
subject to certain conditions, including, among other things, the
negotiation, execution and delivery of a definitive purchase agreement,
satisfactory due diligence investigations by both parties, the receipt by the
Company of $25,000,000 in net proceeds from the sale of Company stock in an
underwritten public offering, the establishment by the Company of a credit
facility with at least $10,000,000 of borrowing capacity, receipt by the
Company's Board of Directors of a satisfactory fairness opinion, the receipt
by Coda of any required waivers or approvals under an indenture, the receipt
of all necessary governmental approvals and approvals of the Boards of
Directors of both the Company and Coda.  Any offering of the Company's
securities will be made only by means of a prospectus.

     As proposed, Coda would have certain termination rights, certain rights
to board representation and certain registration rights with respect to
shares of Company common stock received in the proposed transaction.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations - Comparison of Three Month Periods and Six Month
Periods Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

     Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $13,000 compared to
a loss of $34,000 for the corresponding quarter of 1995, representing $.02
and $(.05) per share, respectively.  Net income for the six month period
ended June 30, 1996 was $43,000 compared to a loss of $142,000 for the
corresponding six month period of 1995.  These amounts represented $.06 and
$(.23) per share, respectively.  All earnings per share figures are based on
restated weighted average shares outstanding after the retroactive effect of
the one-for-five reverse stock split approved at the shareholders' meeting
held July 11, 1996.  The reverse stock split became effective July 1996, upon
filing an Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation with the
Secretary of State of the State of Texas.

     Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 were $266,000
compared with $254,000 from the corresponding period in 1995, a 5% increase. 
Revenues increased 23% for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 to
$540,000 from $440,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1995.  These
improvements in revenues were primarily due to the increases in oil and gas
revenues, which resulted from higher oil and gas prices during the relative
periods.  Also contributing to the increases in revenues were oil and gas
volumes produced from new wells that more than offset normal production
declines.  Offsetting these increases, management fees and other income were
down for both the three and six month periods in 1996 versus the same periods
in 1995 due to decreased drilling and completion activity.

     Costs and expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 1996, and
the six month period ended June 30, 1996 decreased $35,000 and $85,000,
respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 1995.  These decreases of
12% and 15% from $288,000 to $253,000 and from $582,000 to $497,000 for the
three and six month comparative periods were due primarily to reductions in
general and administrative costs.  These reductions were primarily related to
the elimination of certain executive costs for the first five months of the
current year, which more than offset additional expenses in the current six
month period for accounting, legal and associated costs related to the change
of the Company's fiscal year from March 31 to December 31.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's working capital at June 30, 1996 was a negative $43,000
compared to a negative $279,000 at December 31, 1995.  This increase in
working capital relates primarily to capital received upon the exercise of a
stock option by a director of the Company during the first quarter of 1996. 
The option exercise resulted in $225,000 in cash for the Company.  This
addition to working capital was utilized primarily to pay off the Company's
note payable in the second quarter of the current year.

     Also impacting the Company's working capital was positive earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization ("EBITDDA"). 
EBITDDA for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 was
$44,000, or $.06 per share, and $110,000, or $.15 per share, respectively, as
compared to a negative $2,000 and a negative $70,000 for the corresponding
periods of the prior year.  This cash flow was used primarily for
expenditures attributable to the Company's capital raising and acquisition
activities.  These costs through the second quarter of the current year were
$70,000 and are listed as Deferred financing and acquisition costs on the
Company's Condensed Balance Sheet dated June 30, 1996.  There is no assurance
that any financing will be completed.

     Management is of the opinion that the Company's cash flow and ability to
raise additional capital will be adequate to meet its current obligations as
well as fund additional property acquisitions, new projects, and generation
and/or participation in new drilling and recompletion work.  The Company is
also currently working on a short-term credit facility with a bank to fund
additional costs expected to be incurred relative to the Company's finance
and acquisition activities.  On August 13, 1996, the Company entered into a
letter of intent with Coda Energy, Inc. ("Coda") to acquire all of the stock
of Taurus Energy Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Coda.  See Note 6,
Subsequent Events, to the Company's financial statements.  The sale of common
stock by the Company could result in dilution of the percentage ownership of
public shareholders to finance a portion of the purchase price.  There is no
assurance that any acquisition will be consummated.

     At the 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders of the
Company approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to
authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock that the
Board of Directors may issue from time to time in one or more series.  With
respect to each series of preferred stock, the amendment authorizes the Board
to fix and determine by resolution the number of shares of each series, the
designation thereof and all rights and preferences including voting,
dividend, conversion, redemption and liquidation rights.  The Board of
Directors deemed it in the best interest of the Company to provide for a
class of series preferred stock in order to provide flexibility for corporate
planning and to have shares available for future equity financings through
issuance to the general public, future acquisitions, stock dividends or
splits, or for other corporate purposes for which the issuance of preferred
shares may be advisable.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Pursuant to the provisions of Article 4.04 of the Texas Business
Corporation Act (the "Act"), the undersigned adopts the following Articles of
Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation:

                                ARTICLE ONE

     The name of the corporation is MINERAL DEVELOPMENT, INC.

                                ARTICLE TWO

     The following amendments to the Articles of Incorporation were adopted
by the Shareholders of the Corporation on July 11, 1996: 

     ARTICLE ONE is hereby amended to read, in its entirety, as follows:

          "1.  The name of the corporation is EXCO Resources, Inc."

     ARTICLE FOUR is hereby amended to read, in its entirety, as follows:

          "4.    The aggregate number of shares of all classes of stock
          that the corporation shall have authority to issue is Thirty-
          Five Million (35,000,000), of which Twenty-Five Million
          (25,000,000) shares of the par value of $0.01 per share shall
          be Common Stock and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of the par
          value of $0.01 per share shall be Preferred Stock issuable in
          series.

               Common Stock.  Each five (5) shares of previously
          authorized Common Stock of the corporation, par value $0.01
          per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
          time of the filing and recording of these Articles of
          Amendment ("Amendment") in the Office of the Secretary of
          State of the State of Texas, shall, upon the filing and
          recording of this Amendment in the Office of the Secretary of
          State of the State of Texas, thereby and thereupon
          automatically be combined without any further action into one
          (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of
          Common Stock of the corporation, par value $0.01 per share. 
          Further, every right, option and warrant to acquire five (5)
          shares of Common Stock of the corporation, outstanding
          immediately prior to the time of filing and recording of this
          Amendment in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State
          of Texas, shall upon filing and recording of this Amendment in
          the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas,
          thereby and thereupon automatically be converted without any
          further action into the right to acquire one (1) share of
          Common Stock of the corporation, upon the 

<PAGE>

          terms of the right, option or warrant, except that the purchase
          price of the Common Stock, upon exercising the right, option or
          warrant, shall be proportionately increased.  The corporation shall
          not issue fractional shares with respect to the combination or
          conversion.  To the extent that a shareholder holds a number of
          shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the filing and
          recording of this Amendment that is not evenly divisible by five
          (5), such shareholder shall receive one additional share of Common
          Stock for each fractional share otherwise issuable.  As a result of
          this Amendment, the corporation's Common Stock account will be
          reduced from (a) $0.01 multiplied by the number of shares of Common
          Stock issued and outstanding prior to the filing and recording of
          the Amendment to (b) $0.01 multiplied by the number of shares of
          Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the filing
          and recording of the Amendment.  The Capital in excess of par value
          account will be credited with the amount by which the Common Stock
          account is reduced.  The number of shares of authorized Common
          Stock of the corporation will remain at 25,000,000 and will not be
          affected by the Amendment.

               Preferred Stock.  Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued
          from time to time in one or more series, the shares of each
          series to have such designations, powers, preferences, rights,
          qualifications, limitations and restrictions as are stated and
          expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions
          providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of
          Directors as hereafter provided.

               Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of
          Directors to authorize the issuance of the Preferred Stock
          from time to time in one or more series, and with respect to
          each series of the Preferred Stock, to fix and determine by
          the resolution or resolutions from time to time adopted
          providing for the issuance thereof the number of shares to
          constitute the series and the designation thereof and any one
          or more of the following rights and preferences:  (i) the rate
          of dividend; (ii) the price at and terms and conditions on
          which shares may be redeemed; (iii) the amount payable upon
          shares in the event of involuntary liquidation; (iv) the
          amount payable upon shares in the event of voluntary
          liquidation; (v) sinking fund provisions (if any) for the
          redemption or repurchase of the shares; (vi) the terms and
          conditions on which shares may be converted, if the shares of
          any series are issued with the privilege of conversion; and
          (vii) voting rights (included the number of votes per share,
          the matters on which the shares can vote, and the
          contingencies that make the voting rights effective).  The
          shares of each series of the Preferred Stock may vary from the
          shares of any other series thereof in any or all of the
          foregoing respects.  The Board of Directors may increase the
          number of shares designated for any existing series by adding
          to such series authorized and unissued shares not designated
          for any other series.  The Board of Directors may decrease the
          number of shares designated for any existing series by
          subtracting from such series unissued shares designated for
          such series, and the shares so subtracted shall become
          authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock."

     ARTICLE 10 is hereby added to the Articles of Incorporation to read, in
its entirety, as follows:

          "10. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and
          regulations, a Director of the corporation shall not be liable
          to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages
          for an act or omission in the Director's capacity as a
          Director, except that this Article 10 does not eliminate or
          limit the liability of a Director for:

               (1)  a breach of a Director's duty of loyalty to the
          corporation or its shareholders,

               (2)  an act or omission not in good faith or that
          involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the
          law,

               (3)  a transaction from which a Director received an
          improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an
          action taken within the scope of the Director's office,

               (4)  an act or omission for which the liability of a
          Director is expressly provided for by statute, or

               (5)  an act related to an unlawful share repurchase or
          payment of a dividend.

          If applicable law or regulations are amended after approval by
          the corporation's shareholders of this Article 10 to authorize
          corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
          liability of Directors or eliminating or limiting the personal
          liability of officers, the liability of a Director or officer
          of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the
          maximum extent permitted by law.  No repeal or modification of
          this Article 10 by the shareholders shall adversely affect any
          right or protection of a Director or officer of the
          corporation existing by virtue of this Article 10 at the time
          of such repeal or modification."

                         MINERAL DEVELOPMENT, INC.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

          (o)  "Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation (other than the

than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.

     3.   Shares and Options.  The maximum number of Shares to be issued in
consideration of the Common Stock component of the Annual Director Fee paid
under Section 4 or pursuant to Options granted under Section 5 of this Plan
shall be One Million (1,000,000) Shares.  Shares issued in consideration of
the Common Stock component of the Annual Director Fee or pursuant to Options
granted under this Plan may be issued from Shares held in the Company's
treasury or from authorized and unissued Shares.  If any Option granted under
this Plan shall terminate, expire, or be cancelled or surrendered as to any
Shares, such Shares shall thereafter be available for the payment of the
Common Stock component of the Annual Director Fee and for the granting of
Options hereunder.  Any Option granted hereunder shall be a Nonqualified
Stock Option.

     4.   Annual Director Fee.  On each of the Quarterly Payment Dates, each
Director shall receive one-fourth of the Annual Director Fee, fifty percent
(50%) paid in cash and fifty percent (50%) paid in Common Stock.  For
purposes of payment of the Common Stock component of the Annual Director Fee,
the value of the Common Stock will be the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the first business day following the end of each fiscal quarter.

     5.   Automatic Grant of Options.

          (a) An Option to purchase ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND (100,000) Shares of
the Common Stock shall automatically be granted to each Director on a
nondiscriminatory basis on the date such Director is initially elected or
appointed a Director of the Company, or, in the case of current Directors,
upon their election or reelection at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. 


          (b)  Each Option shall be evidenced by an option agreement (an
"Option Agreement"), which shall contain such terms as are not inconsistent
with this Plan or any applicable law.  Any person who files with the Board,
in a form satisfactory to the Board, a written waiver of eligibility to
receive any Option under this Plan shall not be eligible to receive any
Option under this Plan for the duration of such waiver.

          (c)  Options automatically granted to Directors pursuant to this
Section 5 shall be in addition to the Annual Director Fee or any other
benefits with respect to the Director's position with the Company or its
Subsidiaries.  Neither the Plan nor any Option granted under the Plan shall
confer upon any person any right to continue to serve as a Director.

          (d)  An Option shall vest in four (4) equal amounts of 25,000
Shares per year over four (4) years, provided that no Shares subject to a
Director's Option shall vest in any fiscal year in which the Director attends
less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Board meetings held for that
fiscal year.   Failure to attend the requisite number of meetings during a
given year will cause a forfeiture of the 25,000 Shares subject to the Option
that were eligible to vest in that year.  In the event a Director ceases to
serve as such for any reason, the unvested Shares subject to the Option will
not accelerate, and the Option shall only be exercisable for the number of
Shares that vested prior to the Director ceasing to serve as a Director.

          (e)  Except for the automatic grants of Options under subparagraph
(a) of this Section 5 and the issuance of Shares of Common Stock to Directors
under Section 4 above, no Options or Shares shall otherwise 

<PAGE>

be granted hereunder, and the Board shall not have any discretion with
respect to the grant of Options or issuance of Shares of Common Stock within
the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any successor rule.

     6.   Option Price.  The option price per Share of any Option granted
pursuant to this Plan to Directors elected at the June 13, 1996 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders shall be the Share Price, and, thereafter, shall be
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Date of
Grant.

     7.   Exercise of Options.  Options may be exercised at any time after
the date on which the Options, or any portion thereof, are vested until the
Option expires pursuant to Section 8; provided, however, that no Option shall
be exercisable prior to six (6) months from the Date of Grant.  An Option
shall be deemed exercised when (i) the Company has received written notice of
such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, (ii) full
payment of the aggregate option price of the Shares as to which the Option is
exercised has been made and (iii) arrangements that are satisfactory to the
Company in its sole discretion have been made for the Optionee's payment to
the Company of the amount, if any, that the Company determines to be
necessary for the Company to withhold in accordance with applicable federal
or state income tax withholding requirements.  The option price of any Shares
purchased shall be paid solely in cash, by check or money order, or by a
combination of the above.

     8.   Termination of Option Period.  The unexercised portion of an Option
shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at
the time of the earliest to occur of the following:

          (a)  three (3) months after the date that an Optionee ceases to be
a Director regardless of the reason therefor other than as a result of such
termination by death or permanent disability of the Optionee;

          (b)  fifteen (15) months after the date that an Optionee ceases to
be a Director by reason of death of the Optionee or six (6) months after the
Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during the three (3) month
period described in Subsection 8(a); 

          (c)  twelve (12) months after the date that an Optionee ceases to
be a Director by reason of the permanent disability of the Optionee; or

          (d)  the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant of the
Option.

     9.   Adjustment of Shares.  (a) If at any time while this Plan is in
effect or unexercised Options 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 Shares then subject to being issued or optioned under
          this Plan, so that the same proportion of the Company's issued and
          outstanding Shares shall continue to be subject to being so issued
          or optioned; and

           (ii)     appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of
          Shares and the option price per Share thereof then subject to any
          outstanding Option, so that the same proportion of the Company's
          issued and outstanding Shares shall remain subject to purchase at
          the same aggregate option price.

          (b)  Pursuant to the Plan, the number of shares subject to an
Option and the applicable option price are subject to proportionate
adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or any other
recapitalizations effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. 
In the event of merger, consolidation or other like reorganization of the
Company, an appropriate substitution for the stock subject to each Option
shall be made.  An appropriate substitution of stock shall also be made in
the event of a merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company
is not the surviving or resulting corporation.  

<PAGE>

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

          (d)  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
existence of outstanding Options granted under this Plan shall not affect in
any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate
(i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other
changes in the Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger
or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt
securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the Shares
subject to outstanding Options; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the
assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     10.  Transferability of Options.  Each Option Agreement shall provide
that such Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order and that so long as an Optionee lives, only such
Optionee or his or her guardian or legal representative shall have the right
to exercise the related Option.

     11.  Issuance of Shares.  No person shall be, or have any of the rights
or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company with respect to any of the
Shares subject to an Option unless and until certificates representing such
Shares shall have been issued and delivered to such person.  As a condition
of any transfer of the certificate for Shares, the Board may obtain such
agreements or undertakings, if any, as it may deem necessary or advisable to
assure compliance with any provision of this Plan, any Option Agreement or
any law or regulation, including, but not limited to, the following:

            (i)     A representation, warranty or agreement by the Optionee
          to the Company, at the time any Option is exercised, if applicable,
          that he or she is acquiring the Shares to be issued to him or her
          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, if applicable,
          to be bound by any legends that are, in the opinion of the Board,
          necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of any
          securities law deemed by the Board to be applicable to the issuance
          of the Shares and are endorsed upon the Share certificates.

     Share certificates issued to an Optionee who is a party to any
shareholder agreement or a similar agreement shall bear the legends contained
in such agreements.

     12.  Administration of the Plan.  (a) To the extent any administration
is required, this Plan shall be administered by the Board.

          (b)  The Board, from time to time, may adopt rules and regulations
for carrying out the purposes of this Plan.  The determinations and the
interpretation and construction of any provision of this Plan by the Board
shall be final and conclusive.

          (c)  Any and all decisions or determinations of the Board shall be
made either (i) by a majority vote of the members of the Board at a meeting
or (ii) without a meeting by the written approval of a majority of the
members of the Board.

<PAGE>

          (d)  This Plan is intended and has been drafted to comply with Rule
16b-3, as amended, under the Exchange Act.  If any provision of this Plan
does not comply with Rule 16b-3, as amended, this Plan shall be automatically
amended to comply with Rule 16b-3, as amended.

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

          (b)  THIS PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS.

          (c)  Headings contained in this Plan 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.  Amendment.  The shareholders of the Company or the Board may alter
or discontinue the Plan, provided that such action may not materially affect
outstanding Options theretofore granted or Common Stock theretofore issued
and provided that no such action of the Board may, without the approval of
shareholders, alter the provisions of the Plan so as to (i) increase the
total number of Shares that may be purchased pursuant to any Option (except
to reflect stock dividends, stock splits or similar recapitalizations), (ii)
decrease the option price of any Option, (iii) extend the option period for
any Option, or (iv) materially increase the benefits under the Plan.  This
Plan shall not be amended more than once every six (6) months, other than to
comport with applicable changes to the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder.

     15.  Effective Date and Termination Date.  The effective date of this
Plan or any amendment thereto is the date on which the Board adopted this
Plan or such amendment; provided, however, if this Plan is not approved by
the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the effective
date, then, in such event, this Plan and all Options granted pursuant to this
Plan shall be null and void.  This Plan shall terminate on May 17, 2006, and
any Option outstanding on such date will remain outstanding until it has
either expired or has been exercised, but in no event longer than ten (10)
years from the Date of Grant.
