On February 23, 1995, each of (i) the Charles Wyly Trusts and Brush Creek,
Ltd., and (ii) the Sam Wyly Trusts, Tallulah, Ltd. and Maverick Entrepreneurs
(collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into a loan agreement with Lehman
providing for loans to the Borrowers from time to time (the "Loan Agreements").
In connection with the Loan Agreements, the Borrowers entered into various
security documents provided for in the Loan Agreements (the "Security
Documents"). Included in the Security Documents are documents that provide, in
general, that: (i) with respect to an aggregate of 1,771,163 shares of Common
Stock (770,000 shares of which are beneficially owned by Mr. Sam Wyly, 801,163
shares of which are beneficially owned by Mr. Charles J. Wyly, Jr., and 200,000
shares of which are beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons), if the
market price of such shares on or before February 23, 1998, is less than
$28.5574, then Lehman, upon the request of the Borrowers, will pay to the
Borrowers the difference between the market price and such specified amount at
the time of such request, and if the market price on February 23, 1998, is
greater than $48.2302, the Borrowers will, on that date, pay to Lehman the
difference between such market price and such specified amount; and (ii) the
Borrowers are required to pledge such rights and an aggregate of 1,771,163
shares to secure their obligations under the Security Documents.
On January 20, 1998, each of the Borrowers entered into a letter agreement
(a "Letter Agreement") with Lehman whereby each of the Borrowers agreed to sell
a certain number of their shares of Common Stock of the Company. The Letter
Agreement further provided for the application of the proceeds from the sale of
the stock to pay all amounts due pursuant to the Lehman Agreement and the cash
settlement amount provided for in the Security Documents and the termination of
the Security Documents.
Each of (i) the Sam Wyly Trusts and Tallulah, Ltd., (ii) the Charles Wyly
Trusts and Brush Creek, Ltd., and (iii) Maverick Entrepreneurs maintains
separate revolving lines of credit with NationsBank (collectively, the
"NationsBank Credit Facilities"). The obligations of each borrower to repay
advances made under its NationsBank Credit Facilities are several, full-recourse
obligations that are secured by the Borrower's pledge of certain shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as well as other
securities. Each advance under a NationsBank Credit Facility bears interest at
NationsBank's prime rate or at a floating rate, as elected by the borrower. Sam
Wyly and Charles J. Wyly, Jr. have each guaranteed the obligations of Maverick
Entrepreneurs under its NationsBank Credit Facility. The NationsBank Credit
Facilities will mature on November 22, 1998.

"Balance"), then such Counterparty shall pay the Balance to LBF, in
USD in immediately available funds, no later than the last day of the

This agreement itself shall be the binding agreement between LBF and each
Counterparty relating to this termination. This agreement shall be governed by

For purposes of convenience, this instrument has been executed and
delivered simultaneously by each Counterparty. Nonetheless, it is intended and

Counterparty severally on the one hand, and LBF and LBI on the other hand, and
shall not constitute an agreement between one Counterparty and any other
Counterparty or an agreement among Counterparties.

automated quotation system and/or reported through the consolidated
transaction reporting system, whichever is applicable).

thereon and all fees and charges, on such Counterparty's Note and under the Loan

Counterparty's authority to enter into such agreements and with respect to
the enforceability of such agreements against such Counterparty, with full
force and effect and as if such representations and warranties were made on
the date hereof.
This letter agreement shall confirm the agreement of each Counterparty
and LBF fully to terminate the Transactions, effective as of the last day of the
Selling Period, upon the following terms and conditions:
1. The representations and warranties set forth in the previous paragraph
shall be true and accurate as of the date hereof.
2. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this agreement by
each Counterparty, such Counterparty shall have (a) transmitted
three copies of a duly executed Notice of Proposed Sale of Securities

satisfaction) a Seller's Representation Letter in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT B (the "144 Letter"). Each Counterparty shall
cooperate with LBI to ensure that sales of Shares pursuant to the Sell
Order shall be in compliance with Rule 144.
3. LBF and each Counterparty agree that the "Final Price" (as such
term is defined in the Transactions) with respect to each
Transaction shall be equal to the average execution price for all
Shares sold during the Selling Period pursuant to the Sell Order.
4. Each Counterparty agrees that (a) the "Cash Settlement Amount" (as
such term is defined in the Transactions) of the Transactions, if any,
payable by LBF to such Counterparty pursuant to the Transactions,
together with (b) such Counterparty's Net Sale Proceeds, shall be
applied to repay the Loan Obligations owing and payable by such
Counterparty to LBF. If, after application of the foregoing amounts
to the Loan Obligations, the Loan Obligations of such Counterparty
shall not have been paid in full (the remaining unpaid amount, the
"Balance"), then such Counterparty shall pay the Balance to LBF, in
USD in immediately available funds, no later than the last day of the
Selling Period, to LBF's account at Citibank, N.A., New York, SWIFT
Code: CITIUS33, FED ABA Number: 021000089, Account Name: Lehman
Brothers Holdings Inc., In Favor of: Lehman Brothers Finance S.A.,
Account Number: 40729568.
5. Each Counterparty agrees not to engage, and to cause its affiliates
not to engage, in any sale of Common Stock during the period
commencing on and including the date hereof and including the third
Exchange Business Day after the last Exchange Business Day of the
Selling Period.
6. Each Counterparty agrees, in connection herewith and in connection
with the Sell Order and the sale of such Counterparty's Shares, to
make such other filings, with the SEC and otherwise, and to take all
further actions that may be necessary to comply with relevant federal
and state securities laws and regulations.
Upon the satisfaction or completion, as the case may be, of the foregoing terms
and conditions, all rights and obligations of LBF and each Counterparty in
respect of the Transactions shall terminate.
This agreement itself shall be the binding agreement between LBF and each
Counterparty relating to this termination. This agreement shall be governed by
and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard for the
principles of conflict of laws thereof.
For purposes of convenience, this instrument has been executed and
delivered simultaneously by each Counterparty. Nonetheless, it is intended and
agreed that this instrument shall constitute a separate agreement between each
Counterparty severally on the one hand, and LBF and LBI on the other hand, and
shall not constitute an agreement between one Counterparty and any other
Counterparty or an agreement among Counterparties.

Utilizing Rule 144, I propose to sell through you as brokers or to you a
market maker (as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(38) of the Securities
Act of 1933) the securities described above. I have no present intention to
sell additional securities of this Issuer through any other means.
I have not made and do not propose to make any payment in connection with the
execution of the transaction, except the usual customary broker commissions
or dealer's charges to you; I have not solicited or arranged for the
solicitation of orders to buy in anticipation of or in connection with the
proposed sale; and (a) I am either an "affiliate of the Issuer" or (b) I am
proposing to sell "restricted securities" to or through you (as those terms
as defined in Paragraph (a) of Rule 144) which were acquired and fully paid
for more than two years ago.
I am not acting in concert with any other person in selling the stock and I
have not so agreed to act. I am not engaged in a plan with anyone else to
dispose of the securities.
The shares which I propose to sell through you as broker or to you as market
maker, together with all sales made by me and by any person whose sales must
be aggregated with mine as provided in Paragraphs (a) and (e) of Rule 144
during the three months prior to the date of this sale, do not and will not
exceed the greater of either 1% of the outstanding shares of the above
Issuer, or the average weekly volume for the past four full calendar weeks
prior to this date on my sale to or through you. (The applicable volume is
that reported on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the
automated quotation system and/or reported through the consolidated
transaction reporting system, whichever is applicable).
With respect to the three months prior to the date of this sale, I, together
with any person whose sales must be aggregated with mine:
CHECK ONE:
A. /X/ I have not sold any securities of the above Issuer.
or
B. / / I have sold (quantity) __________ shares of the (CLASS)___________
securities of the above Issuer.
In addition, CHECK ONE:
C. / / I have completed Form 144 and have given it to you for concurrent
filing with the SEC, and primary Exchange, if required, or
D. /X/ I have filed Form 144 with the SEC, and primary Exchange, if
required, under Rule 144 and herewith attach a true copy of the form which I
have filed.
The undersigned does not know or have any reason to believe that the Issuer
is not current in its reports to the SEC as required by Rule 144(c)(1)(i.e.
that the Issuer has filed the reports required to be filed by Sections 13 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for a period of at least 90 days
immediately preceding the date of the proposed sale of stock and, in
addition, has filed the most recent annual report required to be filed
thereunder.)
I am not aware of any facts or circumstances indicating that I am or may be
deemed an "underwriter" with respect to these securities or that the sale of
these securities are or will be part of a "distribution" of securities of the
Issuer as those terms are defined in the Securities Act of 1933.
