ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
          RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER


          There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and
between such persons and any person with respect to any security of the
Company, except the following:

1.   AIP and the Company entered into a Loan Agreement, dated as of
     January 15, 1996, under which AIP advanced $3,000,000 to the Company
     on January 18, 1996.  The loan is evidenced by a Secured Convertible
     Promissory Note. The principal amount of the Note is convertible
     into a maximum of 2,727,272 shares of Class A Common Stock of the
     Company;

2.   AIP and the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement ("Stock
     Purchase Agreement"), dated as of December 8, 1995, under which AIP
     agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to
     purchase 18,181,818 shares of Common Stock and 4 shares of Series B
     Special Preferred Stock of the Company for $1.10 per share. The
     18,181,818 shares to be issued to AIP under this agreement will be
     reduced by the number of shares issued to AIP upon conversion of the
     Note.  The Note will automatically be converted into 2,727,272
     shares of Common Stock upon the closing of the Stock Purchase
     Agreement.  The effectiveness of the Stock Purchase Agreement
     remains subject to the occurrence of several significant conditions,
     including the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby by
     the Company's stockholders.

     Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, and as more fully
     discussed in the Proxy Statement, the Company shall use its best efforts
     to cause its stockholders to elect new Directors and to cause the
     Company's By-laws and Articles and certain other agreements to which the
     Company is a party to be amended.

3.   John W. Adams will enter into an irrevocable proxy agreement
     ("Irrevocable Proxy Agreement") with a non-United States entity that
     is a minority shareholder (the "Shareholder") of a Texas corporation
     (the "subject company") that holds a 25% voting interest in the
     limited partner of AIP.  The Irrevocable Proxy

transfer of the Note evidencing  the Loans, endorsed by the Lender on the
schedule attached to the Note or any  continuation thereof, each of which
recordations or endorsements shall constitute prima facie evidence of the
matters set forth therein; PROVIDED that  the  failure  of  the Lender to

or under the Note in respect of the Loans to be evidenced by such Note.

        2.04 OPTIONAL  PREPAYMENTS;   Subject to Lender's rights pursuant

number of Conversion Shares  converted  prior  to the Final Maturity Date

        (a)  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments
of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under
this Agreement and the Note, and, except to the extent otherwise provided
therein, all payments  to  be  made  by the Borrower under any other Loan
Document,  shall  be  made in Dollars, in  immediately  available  funds,
without deduction, set-off  or counterclaim, to the Lender at the account
specified in writing by the Lender  to  the  Borrower on the date hereof,
not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the  date on which such payment

to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

        4.02 NOTICES  FOR  BORROWINGS.  Each notice  of  a  borrowing  (a

accompanied  by a description, in reasonable detail, of the proposed uses
(the "Proposed  Uses")  of  such  borrowing.   The  Lender,  in  its sole
discretion,  shall  approve or disapprove, each Proposed Use.  The Lender
shall notify the Borrower  of  each  approved Proposed Use (the "Approved
Purposes") and the amount of the loan  made  pursuant  to  such Borrowing
Notice shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of the Proposed  Uses that
do not constitute Approved Purposes.
SECTION 5.CONVERSION OF NOTE.


<PAGE>


        5.01 CONVERSION RIGHTS AND CONVERSION PRICE.  Subject to and upon
compliance  with  the provisions of this Section 5, at the option of  the
Lender or the current  holder  of the Note (the "Converting Holder"), the
Note or any portion of the outstanding principal thereof may, at any time
on or prior to the Final Maturity  Date,  be  converted  at the principal
amount   th   ereof,   or  any  portion  thereof,  into  fully  paid  and
nonassessable shares (calculated  as  to  each  conversion  into integral
numbers  of  shares) of Class A Stock, at the conversion price  of  $1.10
(One and 10/100  Dollars)  (the  "Conversion Price") per share of Class A
Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the aggregate number of shares of
Class  A Stock into which the Note may be  converted  by  the  Converting
Holder  shall   not   exceed   the  number  of  shares  (the  "Conversion
Limitation") that may be acquired  by the Converting Holder (i) without a
vote of the shareholders of the Borrower  under  the rules of the AMEX or
(ii) pursuant to a currently effective waiver (a "Conversion  Waiver") of
such rules by the AMEX.

        5.02 EXERCISE  OF  CONVERSION  RIGHTS.  In order to exercise  the
conversion right set forth in Section 5.01,  the holder of the Note shall
deliver  to  the  Borrower a notice (a "Conversion  Notice")  of  (i) the
principal amount (a  "Converted  Principal  Amount")  of  the  Note to be
converted  (which  amount shall be an integral multiple of the Conversion
Price), (ii) the number  of  shares  (the "Conversion Shares") of Class A
Stock into which the Converted Principal  Amount  shall  be converted and
(iii) the date (the "Conversion Date") on which such conversion  shall be
effective  (which date may be no earlier than the date of such Conversion
Notice).

        The Note shall be deemed to have been converted and the principal
amount of the  Note  reduced  by  the  Converted  Principal Amount on the
Conversion  Date  and  the  Converting Holder shall be  treated  for  all
purposes as the record holder  of the Conversion Shares on the Conversion
Date.  As promptly as practical, but in no event more than three Business
Days after the Conversion Date,  the  Borrower shall issue and deliver to
the Converting Holder, at its address set  forth herein, a certificate or
certificates (as specified by the Converting  Holder) for the full number
of the Conversion Shares.

        5.03 MANDATORY CONVERSION.  In the event  that the Closing occurs
at the Final Maturity Date, the outstanding principal  amount of the Note
shall  automatically  be  converted  on  the Final Maturity Date  at  the
Conversion Price into the maximum number of  whole shares (without regard
to the Conversion Limitation) and the principal  amount of the Note shall
be  reduced  by the corresponding Converted Principal  Amount.   In  such
event,  for purposes  of  the  Stock  Purchase  Agreement  the  Converted
Principal  Amount  on  the  Final  Maturity Date plus any prior Converted
Principal Amounts shall be deemed to be payment of the aggregate purchase
price of a number of Shares equal to  the  number of Conversion Shares on
the Final Maturity Date plus any prior Conversion  Shares at the Purchase
Price  Per Share.  The Borrower shall issue and deliver  on  the  Closing
Date  to  the  Converting  Holder,  at  the  Closing   a  certificate  or
certificates  (as specified by the Converting Holder) for the full number
of the Conversion Shares so converted on the Closing Date.


<PAGE>


        5.04 BORROWER'S  COVENANTS.   In  connection with this Section 5,
the Borrower covenants and agrees with the Converting Holder as follows:

        (a)  In  the  event that at any time  the  Conversion  Limitation
shall be less than 2,727,272  shares of Class A Stock, the Borrower shall
use its best efforts to obtain  a  waiver  of  the rules of the AMEX such
that the Conversion Limitation shall exceed 2,727,272  shares  of Class A
Common Stock.

        (b)  The  Borrower shall at all times reserve and keep available,
free from preemptive  rights,  out of its authorized and unissued Class A
Stock, for the purpose of effecting  the conversion of the Note, the full
number of shares of Class A Stock then  issuable  upon  the conversion of
the  principal  amount  of  the  Note  (without  regard to the Conversion
Limitation).

        (c)  The Borrower shall pay any and all taxes,  liens and charges
that  may  be  payable in respect of the issue or delivery of  shares  of
Class A Stock on  conversion  of  the Note pursuant hereto.  The Borrower
shall not, however, be required to  pay  any  tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issue and  delivery  of shares of
Class A Stock in a name other than that of the Converting Holder,  and no
such  issue  or  delivery  shall  be  made  unless  and  until the Person
requesting  such issue has paid to the Borrower the amount  of  any  such
tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax
has been paid.

        (d)  The  Borrower  covenants  that  all  shares of Class A Stock
which may be issued upon conversion of the Note will  upon  issue be duly
authorized, fully paid and nonassessable.

        5.05 REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  If, and only if, the Closing  does not
occur at the Final Maturity Date, the holders of Conversion Shares  shall
have the following rights with respect to such Conversion Shares.

        (a)  From  the  date  hereof and on or before January 15, 2006 at
any time Borrower proposes to file  a  registration  statement  under the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1933, As amended (the "Act") with respect  to
an offering by  Borrower,  for  its  own  account  or  the account of its
shareholders,  of  shares  of  Class A Stock (other than  a  registration
statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or  any substitute form that may be adopted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")) or filed in
connection with an exchange offer or  an offering of securities or rights
solely to Borrower's existing security  holders),  then Borrower shall in
each such case give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders
of the Conversion Shares as soon as practicable (but  in  no  event  less
than  30  days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall
offer such  holders the opportunity to register such shares of Conversion
Shares as such holder may request.

        (b)  Borrower  shall  use  its best efforts to cause any managing
underwriter or underwriters of such  proposed  underwritten  offering  to
permit the Conversion Shares requested to be included in the registration
statement  for  such  offering  to  be  included  on  the  


<PAGE>


same terms and conditions as any similar securities of Borrower  included 
therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the  managing  underwriter  or
underwriters  of  such  offering  advise Borrower  that  they  reasonably
believe  that  the  success  of  the offering  would  be  materially  and
adversely  affected  by  inclusion  of  the  Conversion  Shares  and  the
inclusion of other shares (the "Other  Shares") requested to be included,
such amount of Conversion Shares and Other  Shares, pro rata, as shall be
required to substantially eliminate the adverse effect in the judgment of
the  managing underwriter or underwriters, will  be  excluded  from  such
offering; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to effect such
elimination  pro  rata  if  the  Borrower  is  contractually obligated to
include the Other Shares prior to the inclusion  of  shares  of  Class  A
Stock  held  by  others.   In  the  case  of a non-underwritten offering,
Borrower may decline to include any Conversion  Shares  in a registration
statement pursuant to Section 5.05(a) if it reasonably believes that such
inclusion  would  adversely affect the offering of the securities  to  be
covered by the proposed registration statement.

        (c)  To the  extent  not  inconsistent  with applicable law, each
holder  whose  securities  are  included  in  the registration  statement
pursuant to this Section 5.05 agrees not to effect  any  public  sale  or
distribution  of  the  issue  being  registered  or a similar security of
Borrower, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, during the
14  days  prior  to,  and  during  the  60-day period beginning  on,  the
effective date of such registration statement  (except  as  part  of such
registration), if and to the extent requested by Borrower in the case  of
the non-underwritten public offering or if and to the extent requested by
the  managing  underwriter or underwriters in the case of an underwritten
public offering.

        (d)  The  out-of-pocket  expenses of any registration pursuant to
this  Section 5.05  shall  be  borne  by  Borrower,  except  each  holder
proposing to sell Conversion Shares pursuant  to  the  registration shall
pay all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable  to  his shares
and  all  legal  fees and expenses, if any, of his own counsel; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if the  out-of-pocket expenses of the registration pursuant
to this Section 5.05 are being borne by a person other than Borrower, its
successors or assigns,  each  holder  proposing to sell Conversion Shares
pursuant to the registration shall pay  his pro rata share of the out-of-
pocket expenses of such registration.

        (e)  In connection with the offering  of  any  Conversion  Shares
registered pursuant to this Section 5.05, Borrower shall take such action
as  may  be necessary to qualify or register the Conversion Shares to  be
sold under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as may
be reasonably  requested  by  such  holder or his underwriters; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Borrower will not be required  to  (a) qualify generally to
do business in any jurisdiction where it would not  otherwise be required
to qualify but for this Section, (b) subject itself to  taxation  in  any
such  jurisdiction  or  (c) consent  to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction.  The expenses of such  qualification  or  registration
shall be borne pro rata by the holders of Conversion Share and  any other
party registering shares pursuant to such registration statement  in  the
case of a registration pursuant to this Section 5.05.

        (f)  Borrower  agrees  to indemnify and hold harmless each holder
of Conversion Shares, its partners, if any and their respective officers,
directors and agents and 



<PAGE>


each person,  if  any,  who controls such holder within  the  meaning  of
Section 15  of  the  Act or Section 20  of  the  Securities and  Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") from and against any  and  all lawsuits,
claims, damages, liabilities and  expenses  (including  reasonable  costs
of  investigation)  arising  out  of  or based upon any untrue or alleged 
untrue  statements  of a  material  fact  contained  in  any registration
statement  or  prospectus  relating  to  the  Conversion  Shares  or   in
any  amendment  or  supplement thereto  or in any preliminary prospectus,
or  arising  out  of  or  based  upon  any  omission or alleged  omission 
to  state  therein  a  material  fact  required  to  be  stated   therein
or  necessary  to  make  the  statements  therein not misleading,  except
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities  or  expenses  arise
out  of,  or  are  based  upon,  any such untrue statement or omission or
allegation  thereof  made  in  reliance   upon  and  in  conformity  with
information furnished in writing to Borrower  by  such  holder  or at the
direction  of such holder expressly for use therein; PROVIDED that,  with
respect to any  untrue  statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission made in any preliminary  prospectus,  the indemnity agreement
contained in this paragraph shall not apply to the  extent  that any such
loss,  claim, damage, liability or expense results from the fact  that  a
current  copy  of  the  prospectus  was  not  sent or given to the person
asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability  or expense at or prior
to the written confirmation of the sale of such Conversion Shares to such
person if it is determined that it was the responsibility  of such holder
to  provide  such person with a current copy of the prospectus  and  such
current copy of the prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to
such loss, claim,  damage, liability or expense.  Borrower also agrees to
indemnify and provide  contribution  arrangements  to the underwriters of
the Conversion Shares, their officers and directors  and  each person who
controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the
indemnification of a holder provided in this Section 5.05(f).

        (g)  Each  holder  of Conversion Shares shall agree to  indemnify
and hold harmless Borrower,  its  officers, directors and agents and each
person,  if  any, who controls Borrower  within  the  meaning  of  either
Section 15 of  the  Act  or  Section 20  of  the Exchange Act to the same
extent as the foregoing indemnity from Borrower  to such holder, but only
with respect to such information furnished in writing  by  such holder or
at  such  holder's  direction  expressly  for  use  in  any  registration
statement  or  prospectus  relating  to  the  Conversion  Shares, or  any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus;  PROVIDED
that, with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged  untrue
statement  or  omission made in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity
agreement contained  in this paragraph shall not apply to the extent that
any such loss, claim,  damage, liability or expense results from the fact
that a current copy of the prospectus was not sent or given to the person
asserting any such loss,  claim, damage, liability or expense at or prior
to the written confirmation of the sale of such Conversion Shares to such
person if it is determined  that it was the responsibility of Borrower to
provide  such person with a current  copy  of  the  prospectus  and  such
current copy of the prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to
such loss,  claim,  damage, liability or expense.  Each holder shall also
agree  to  indemnify  and   provide   contribution  arrangements  to  the
underwriters of the Conversion Shares,  their  officers and directors and
each  person  who  controls such underwriters on substantially  the  same
basis  as  that of the  indemnification  of  Borrower  provided  in  this
Section 5.05(g).

        (h)  Promptly   after  receipt  by  an  indemnified  party  under
Section 5.05(f)


<PAGE>


or  Section 5.05(g)  above  of  notice of the commencement of any action
for  which  indemnification  may  be  sought, the indemnified party shall
notify   the   indemnifying    party.   The   failure   to   notify   the
indemnifying party shall relieve it  from  any  liability  hereunder with
respect to the action, but only to the extent the indemnifying  party was
actually  harmed  by  such  failure.   In case any such action is brought
against any indemnified party, and it notifies  any indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party  shall  be  entitled  to
assume and control the defense of the action at its expense, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and if the indemnifying
party  gives  notice  to such indemnified party of its election to assume
and control the defense,  the  indemnifying  party  will not be liable to
such  indemnified  party  for  any  legal or other expenses  subsequently
incurred  by the indemnified party in  connection  with  the  defense  or
investigation   of   the  action.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the
indemnified party shall  have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action and to participate  in  the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at  the  expense  of  such  indemnified
party  or  such controlling person unless (i) the indemnifying party  has
agreed to pay  such  fees  and  expenses or (ii) the named parties to any
such action or proceeding include  both  the  indemnifying  party and the

otherwise within the limitations  thereof, shall not avoid the occurrence
of an Unmatured Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or
