TCC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TCC
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("the Company"), and have been presented in
accordance with the reporting requirements for interim financial statements.
Such requirements do not include all of the disclosures normally required by
generally accepted accounting principles or those normally made in an Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts have been reclassified for consistency in
presentation. In connection therewith readers are referred to the Company's most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion
of management, are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair
statement of the results of interim periods. Such results for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year,
principally due to seasonal fluctuations in wholesale distribution revenue.
Income Taxes
The Company and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries join in filing a
consolidated federal income tax return. The provision (benefit) for income taxes
for interim financial reporting is determined utilizing the estimated annual
effective tax rate method of allocation. Separate state and foreign income tax
returns are filed by subsidiaries where required.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements of Meyer Europe, Ltd. are
translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation". SFAS 52 requires the foreign operations to be translated using
current exchange rates for balance sheet items, historical rates for capital
accounts, and average exchange rates for income statement items. The resulting
translation adjustments are recorded directly into a separate component of
shareholders' equity.
Note 2 Commitments and Contingencies
There are sundry claims pending against certain of the Company's
subsidiaries, all of which are incidental to the ordinary course of business
and, in the opinion of Company management, should not result in any significant
liability.
Note 3 Shareholders' Equity
The loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997 is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997. Common share
equivalents would have diluted the loss per share and were therefore excluded
from the computation.

Note 4 Inventories
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company
recorded a $729,000 provision for finished goods valuation allowance at the
wholesale distribution segment related to the decision to more rapidly reduce
inventory levels and the estimated incentive discounts that are expected to be
incurred to reduce the levels of certain items.
Note 5 Discontinued Operation
On September 19, 1997 a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the
Company, Meyer Machine Company, completed the sale of substantially all of its
assets for a cash consideration of $6,000,000 plus the assumption of its
liabilities and contractual obligations by the purchaser. The purchaser was
Meyer Acquisition Corporation, Inc. whose principal, Eugene Teeter, had been
the President of Meyer Machine Company. In determining the amount of
consideration paid by the buyer for the assets of Meyer Machine Company, the
parties reviewed the historical financial statements of Meyer Machine Company
and considered the book value and historical cash flow and the value of the
goodwill of the company. Such consideration was determined as a result of arms
length negotiations between representatives of the Company and the buyer. The
Board received an opinion from Fowler Valuation Services, LC as to the fairness
of the sale price from a financial point of view. The Company reported a loss
on the sale of $475,000 (this loss does not take into consideration the
extinguishment of a contingent liability of over $293,000 for golden parachute
severance agreements with Mr. Teeter and with Mr. John Basketfield, the
Managing Director of one of Meyer Machine Company's subsidiary companies).
During the three months ended September 30, 1997 revenue from the Meyer Group
was $2.3 million as compared to $3.0 million during the same period in 1996 and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 revenue was $7.7 million as
compared to $8.5 million during the same period in 1996.
Note 6 Other Expenses
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company
incurred the following unusual and nonrecurring charges, both of which were
reported as "Other income (expense) - other, net", on the Consolidated Statement
of Operations:
- $241,000 charge for the cost of the proxy election contest that was
concluded in May, 1997.
- $286,000 charge for the cost of the severance provisions pursuant
to the employment agreement with the Company's former Chief
Executive Officer.
Note 7 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997.
Also in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards
for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997.

TCC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
(UNAUDITED)
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share" and
SFAS 129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure." SFAS 128
contains new computational guidelines and disclosure requirements for reporting
earnings per share. SFAS 129 requires that disclosure about an entity's capital
structure include a brief discussion of rights and privileges for securities
outstanding, including dividend and liquidation preferences, participation
rights, call prices and dates, conversion or exercise prices or rates and
pertinent dates, sinking-fund requirements, unusual voting rights, and
significant terms of contracts to issue additional shares. Both of the new
standards become effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997.
Management believes that the Company currently substantially complies
with the requirements of these new standards and that the implementation of the
standards will not have a material impact on the Company's financial results.
Note 8 New Businesses
In early September, 1997 the Company completed the organization of and
commenced the operations of three new subsidiaries to engage in a broad range
of merchant and investment banking services and to build a national consumer
finance organization. Paladin Financial, Inc. ("Paladin") is primarily engaged
in the origination, purchase and disposition of loans and the related real
estate mortgages. Barton Creek Capital Corporation is engaged in developing an
external client base for which it will provide a broad range of merchant and
investment banking services, including private placements, mergers and
acquisitions, and other financial advisory services. Texas Capital Markets,
Inc., assists Paladin with the development and implementation of loan products
and programs, the negotiation and closing of bulk loan purchases, the
development and implementation of various loan disposition strategies and the
procurement of the various financing facilities necessary for the
implementation of the loan programs to be undertaken by Paladin. Although
success in these new endeavors cannot be assured, the Company believes that
the unique synergy among these subsidiaries will help provide a competitive
advantage as the Company enters a new era of operations.
Note 9 Pending Matters
On September 3, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
TCC Industries, Inc. 1997 Incentive and Performance Stock Option Plan ("1997
Option Plan") in order to permit the grant of stock options to employees and
directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, and reserved a total of 6,000,000
shares of Common Stock for issuance thereunder. The 1997 Option Plan, including
the options awarded by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
thereunder, is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company at a
Special Meeting of Shareholders presently scheduled to be held on December 19,
1997. On October 17, 1997 the Company filed preliminary proxy materials with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and intends to distribute definitive copies
of the proxy materials to shareholders on or about November 17, 1997.
As of November 7, 1997, there were 2,778,615 shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding, of which approximately 16.4% were owned beneficially by
Walter A DeRoeck, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and
Robert Thomajan, President of the Company, and approximately 2.9% of which were
owned beneficially by the other directors of the Company and the other executive
officers of the Company and its principal subsidiaries.

If the Shareholders of the Company approve the 1997 Option Plan, and if
the 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the maximum number of shares issuable
under the 1997 Option Plan, subject to the adjustments described therein, are
issued thereunder to the persons and in the amounts designated by the
Compensation Committee (excluding any other shares of Common Stock that may be
issued under the Company's other option plans or otherwise upon the
determination of its Board of Directors), 8,778,615 shares of Common Stock will
then be outstanding, of which approximately 39.4% will then be owned
beneficially by Messrs. DeRoeck and Thomajan, and approximately 33.8% of which
will then be owned beneficially by the other directors of the Company and the
other executive officers of the Company and its principal subsidiaries, or their
respective permitted assigns.
Subject to certain "cliff vesting" provisions set forth in the 1997
Option Plan, the Company will be required to have realized, over the
four-year-period that commenced on October 1, 1997 and ends on September 30,
2001, a minimum of $5.0 million in aggregate cumulative earnings in order for
any shares to vest and, in order for the full 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock
to be issued under the 1997 Option Plan, the Company will be required to have
realized over the four-year period at least $60.0 million in aggregate
cumulative earnings.
Note 10 Goodwill
During the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company
determined that goodwill at the wholesale distribution segmment had been
impaired as the sum of the expected future cash flows from this segment was not
sufficient to support the recorded goodwill balance. As a result, the Company
recorded a $226,000 impairment loss of goodwill, which is included in the
selling, general and administrative expense caption. The loss was measured as
the excess of the recorded goodwill balance over its fair value, with the fair
value being estimated based on the expected future cash flows from the
wholesale distribution segment for the next ten years, discounted at the
Company's primary borrowing rate.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the results of
operations and financial condition of TCC Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
("the Company") during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. The discussion below relates to material changes in the
results of continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997 as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 1996 and to
material changes in the financial condition of the Company occurring since the
prior year end of December 31, 1996. The reader is invited to review
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1996 for further details regarding the significant factors
affecting the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
COMPARISONS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended September
30, 1997 of $1,608,000 on revenue of $1,585,000 as compared to a loss of
$371,000 on revenue of $1,813,000 for the same period in 1996.
On September 19, 1997 the Company sold substantially all of the assets
of its manufacturing segment for $6,000,000 in cash and the assumption of its
liabilities and contractual obligations by the purchaser and reported a loss
on sale of $475,000 (see Note 5).
During the three month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company
recorded the following unusual and nonrecurring charges to expense:
- $300,000 provision for finished goods valuation allowance at the
wholesale distribution segment related to the decision to more
rapidly reduce inventory levels and the estimated incentive
discounts that are expected to be incurred to reduce the levels of
certain items.
- $226,000 write-off at the wholesale distribution segment of the
remaining unamortized portion of its goodwill.
Excluding the above mentioned unusual and nonrecurring charges and the
items related to discontinued operations, the Company realized a loss from
continuing operations of $668,000 for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to a
loss of $590,000 for the third quarter of 1996.
REVENUE
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations decreased $228,000
(12.6%) to $1,585,000 for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to revenue of
$1,813,000 for the third quarter of 1996. The decline in revenue is primarily
due to the continuing declines in the booking of orders in the wholesale
distribution segment, which have resulted in a 30% decline in the backlog at
September 30, 1997 as compared to September 30, 1996.
GROSS PROFIT
Consolidated gross profit from continuing operations decreased $378,000
to $169,000 in the third quarter of 1997 when compared to $547,000 for the same
period in 1996.
At the wholesale distribution segment, gross profit declined $372,000
to $160,000 (10.1% of sales) during the third quarter of 1997 when compared
to $532,000 (29.6% of sales) for the same quarter of 1996, primarily due to
the $300,000 provision for finished goods inventory valuation allowance and
the decline in revenue, discussed above.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$192,000 during the third quarter of 1997 when compared to the third quarter of
1996. The increase is primarily the result of the write-off of the remaining
$226,000 of unamortized goodwill at the wholesale segment, discussed above.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Consolidated other expense, net of other income, increased $35,000 to
$108,000 during the third quarter of 1997 when compared to the same period in
1996, primarily due to both a higher level of borrowing and higher interest
rates on the working capital line of credit at the wholesale distribution
segment.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - (CONTINUED)

of $724,000 on revenue of $7,464,000 for the same period in 1996.
On September 19, 1997 the Company sold substantially all of the assets
of its manufacturing segment for $6,000,000 million in cash and the assumption
of its liabilities and contractual obligations by the purchaser and reported a
loss on sale of $475,000 (see Note 5).
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company

- $226,000 write-off at the wholesale distribution segment of the
remaining unamortized portion of its goodwill.
Excluding the above mentioned unusual and nonrecurring charges and the
items related to discontinued operations, the Company realized a loss from
continuing operations of $1,296,000 for the nine month period ended September
30, 1997 as compared to a loss of $1,171,000 for the same period in 1996.
REVENUE
Consolidated revenue decreased $1,217,000 (16.3%) to $6,247,000 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to revenue of $7,464,000
for the same period in 1996. The decline in revenue is primarily due to the
continuing declines in the booking of orders in the wholesale distribution
segment, which have resulted in a 30% decline in the backlog at September 30,
1997 as compared to September 30, 1996.
GROSS PROFIT
Consolidated gross profit from continuing operations decreased $987,000
to $1,430,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 when compared
to $2,417,000 for the same period in 1996.
At the wholesale distribution segment, gross profit declined $983,000
to $1,392,000 (22.4% of sales) for the first nine months of 1997 when compared
to $2,375,000 (32.0% of sales) for the same period in 1996, primarily due to the
$729,000 provision for finished goods inventory valuation allowance and the
decline in revenue, discussed above.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Consolidated other expense, net of other income, increased
$631,000 to $853,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 when
compared to the same period in 1996, primarily due to (1) a higher level of
borrowing and higher interest rates on the working capital line of credit at
the wholesale distribution segment (2) 241,000 attributable to the cost of the
proxy election contest and (3) a $286,000 charge for funding the severance
provisions pursuant to the employment agreement with the Company's former Chief
Executive.

TCC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - (CONTINUED)
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
NEW FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP:
In early September, 1997 the Company completed the organization of and
commenced the operations of three new subsidiaries to engage in a broad range of
merchant and investment banking services and to build a national consumer
finance organization. Paladin Financial, Inc. ("Paladin") is primarily engaged
in the origination, purchase and disposition of loans and the related real
estate mortgages. Barton Creek Capital Corporation is engaged in developing an
external client base for which it will provide a broad range of merchant and
investment banking services, including private placements, mergers and
acquisitions, and other financial advisory services. Texas Capital Markets,
Inc., assists Paladin with the development and implementation of loan products
and programs, the negotiation and closing of bulk loan purchases, the
development and implementation of various loan disposition strategies and the
procurement of the various financing facilities necessary for the
implementation of the loan programs to be undertaken by Paladin. Although
success in these new endeavors cannot be assured, the Company believes that the
unique synergy among these subsidiaries will help provide a competitive
advantage as the Company enters a new era of operations.
PROPOSED 1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN:
On September 3, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
TCC Industries, Inc. 1997 Incentive and Performance Stock Option Plan ("1997
Option Plan") in order to permit the grant of stock options to employees and
directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, and reserved a total of 6,000,000
shares of Common Stock for issuance thereunder. The 1997 Option Plan, including
the options awarded by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
thereunder, is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company at a
Special Meeting of Shareholders presently scheduled to be held on December 19,
1997. On October 17, 1997 the Company filed preliminary proxy materials with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and intends to distribute definitive
copies of the proxy materials to shareholders on or about November 17, 1997.
As of November 7, 1997, there were 2,778,615 shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding, of which approximately 16.4% were owned beneficially by
Walter A DeRoeck, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and
Robert Thomajan, President of the Company, and approximately 2.9% of which were
owned beneficially by the other directors of the Company and the other executive
officers of the Company and its principal subsidiaries.
If the Shareholders of the Company approve and adopt the 1997 Option
Plan, and if the 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the maximum number of shares
issuable under the 1997 Option Plan, subject to the adjustments described
therein, are issued thereunder to the persons and in the amounts designated by
the Compensation Committee (excluding any other shares of Common Stock that may
be issued under the Company's other option plans or otherwise upon the
determination of its Board of Directors), 8,778,615 shares of Common Stock will
then be outstanding, of which approximately 39.3% will then be owned
beneficially by Messrs. DeRoeck and Thomajan, and approximately 33.9% of which
will then be owned beneficially by the other directors of the Company and the
other executive officers of the Company and its principal subsidiaries, or their
respective permitted assigns.
Subject to certain "cliff vesting" provisions set forth in the 1997
Option Plan, the Company will be required to have realized, over the
four-year-period that commenced on October 1, 1997 and ends on September 30,
2001, a minimum of $5.0 million in aggregate cumulative earnings in order for
any shares to vest and, in order for the full 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock
to be issued under the 1997 Option Plan, the Company will be required to have
realized over the four-year period at least $60.0 million in aggregate
cumulative earnings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $8.0 million
and a current ratio of 3.4 to 1. This compares to working capital of $7.9
million and a current ratio of 2.9 to 1 at December 31, 1996. Cash for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 increased $4.8 million. The improvement in the
current ratio and cash position is primarily due to the sale of the assets of
the manufacturing segment for $6.0 million (see Note 5).
At September 30, 1997, Allen-Lewis had a demand note credit agreement
with a bank that provided maximum borrowing capabilities of $4.0 million,
subject to a borrowing base calculation, for working capital purposes and
letters of credit. At September 30, 1997, Allen-Lewis had less than $1,000
available for borrowing under this line of credit.
On September 15, 1997, NationsBank of Texas, N.A. ("Bank"), agreed to
extend to the Company a $5,000,000 line of credit ("Line of Credit) for the
Company's use in financing, to the extent the Company's funds are not
sufficient, the initial operations of its new Financial Services Group. In order
to obtain the Line of Credit and to secure a favorable rate of interest, Walter
A. DeRoeck, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Robert
Thomajan, President of the Company, have each personally guaranteed the
performance of the Company's obligations to the Bank under the Line of Credit.
The Line of Credit, which matures on September 15, 1998, calls for quarterly
interest payments to be made by the Company at the Bank's prime rate of
interest, less .5%, per annum. Because of the guaranties provided by Messrs.
DeRoeck and Thomajan, the Company was not required to secure the performance of
its obligations under the Line of Credit by pledging as collateral any of its
assets or other properties. Mr. DeRoeck and Mr. Thomajan have advised the
Company that, in the event the shareholders of the Company do not approve the
1997 Option Plan prior to March 31, 1998, they will reserve the right to
withdraw their personal guaranties. Should that occur, it is likely that the
Bank would require immediate payment of any amount that was then payable under
the Line of Credit and it is also likely that the Bank would withdraw its
commitment to the Company to fund the Line of Credit. As of September 30, 1997,
no funds had been drawn under this Line of Credit.

principles see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements appearing

to sell the shares of the Company's
common stock that he beneficially owned
to Mr. DeRoeck and Mr. Thomajan for a
price equal to the average closing
price for the Company's shares for the
past fifteen trading day period. The
Board agreed to waive the provisions of
the Company's Shareholder' Rights Plan

Frank W. Denius and Patrick Kaine as
directors and the election of Robert D.
Starnes as a new director.
September 9, 1997 Chairman Walter A. DeRoeck and
President Robert Thomajan expressed
surprise at the extent of the stock
market reaction to the Company's
announcement last week concerning its
entry into the financial services and
Title I business. They noted that prior
to the announcement the daily volume of
trading in the shares of TCC had been
quite low while since the announcement,
approximately 900,000 shares had been
traded. At the same time, in the last
three trading days, the price of TCC
shares had risen from about $2.40 to
over $5.00. While they both expressed
optimism for the future of the Company,
they pointed out that there was a
considerable task before them and that
they were starting from a base that had
been weakened over the last several
years by continued losses at the
Company's subsidiaries.

10 Agreement by and between Lawrence W. Schumann and TCC Industries, Inc.
11 The computation of fully diluted earnings per shares would be the same
as primary earnings per share, which is easily discernible on the face
of the statements of operations included elsewhere herein.
27 Financial Data Schedules:

<PAGE> 1
Agreement
This Agreement is made and entered into as of the 2nd day of July,
1997 by and between Lawrence W. Schumann ("Schumann") and TCC Industries, Inc.,
a Texas corporation (the "Company"), to become effective on July 11, 1997 (the
"Effective Date").
Background.
At a meeting (the "July Meeting") of the Board of Directors (the
"Board") of the Company held on July 2, 1997, Schumann resigned as Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective at the
conclusion of the July Meeting. In addition, at the July Meeting, Schumann
agreed to resign as President and Director of Company and as officer and
director of all of the subsidiaries of the Company, such resignations to become
effective without further action of Schumann upon payment of the "Severance
Payment" (defined below), and the Board authorized the Company to make such
Severance Payment, all on the terms and conditions set forth below.
Agreement.
It is agreed by the parties to this Agreement as follows:
1. Severance. On the Effective Date:
(a) The Company will pay to Schumann by wire transfer the
cash sum of $288,481.92 (the "Severance Payment") in full
satisfaction and discharge of the Company's payment
obligations under that certain letter agreement between the
Company and Schumann dated as of March 24, 1993 as amended by
letter agreements between the parties dated as of April 14,
1993 and January 9, 1997 (collectively, the "Severance
Agreement"), including without limitation the "Special
Severance Payment" and fringe benefits for a period of one
year as provided in the Severance Agreement and as more fully
detailed on Annex A attached hereto.
(b) All outstanding stock options granted to Schumann by
the Company for the purchase of Company shares will be
terminated and canceled without having been exercised and
without further action on the part of any of the parties or
further consideration to Schumann.
<PAGE> 2
(c) Upon receipt of the payment described in subparagraph
(a) above, the Severance Agreement and that certain Consulting
and Noncompetition Agreement dated as of May 10, 1994 between
the Company and Schumann will be terminated without further
action on the part of any of the parties and all obligations
of the parties thereunder will be deemed to be fully
discharged and satisfied.
(d) Schumann will submit his written resignation as
employee of the Company and from all offices with the Company,
including without limitation as President and a director of
the Company, and as an employee, officer and director of all
of the subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company.
2. As promptly as is practicable with respect to the Company's
$500,000 key man term life insurance policy on the life of Schumann, the
Company shall take such action as shall be necessary to cause (i) the
beneficiary of such life insurance policy to be changed from the Company to
such beneficiary as shall be designated in writing by Schumann, and (ii) the
ownership of such life insurance policy to be transferred to Schumann,
including the right to designate the beneficiary, all as provided in the
Severance Agreement.
3. In the event that the Company elects not to renew its existing
Officer's and Director's Liability Insurance policy, or such policy is
terminated or not renewed by the insurer, the Company will exercise, to the
extent that it is entitled to do so, its option to elect the "discovery
clause" thereunder, whereby coverage will be extended for an additional period
of twelve months following such termination or failure to renew, at a cost of
75% of the annual premium on such policy.
4. Consultant Arrangement. Effective as of July 3, 1997
Schumann is retained as a consultant with the Company for a period of at least
thirty (30) days. As consultant, Schumann will perform such services as shall
reasonably be assigned to him, from time to time by the chief executive officer
of the Company or by the Board. For his services as consultant, Schumann will
be paid at the rate of $10,000 per month, payable at the end of each month. The
consulting arrangement shall have a term of not less than thirty (30) days
following the date of this Agreement nor more than ninety (90) days following
the date of this Agreement, except that such arrangement may be (i) terminated
at any time after the expiration of thirty (30) days following the date of this
Agreement, at the option of either party upon ten (10) days' prior written
notice to the other party, and (ii) extended on the terms contained herein by
written agreement of Schumann and the Company pursuant to unanimous approval of
the Board. During the term of the consulting arrangement, Schumann will be
available to provide such services in the offices of the Company for a period
of at least fifteen hours per week, consisting (insofar as it is reasonably
practicable to do so) of approximately three hours per day (other than
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) during each week, except that he will be
entitled to (x) be absent for reasonable periods of time from time to time with
the understanding that the aggregate overall time that he will be available
each month will be approximately three hours per day (excluding Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays) during the workweek, and (y) be on vacation for a period
of one week around the
2
<PAGE> 3
third week in July 1997. Schumann shall be entitled to the same indemnification
in connection with the actions taken by him or his failure to act, as
applicable, in connection with services rendered and to be rendered by him as
consultant hereunder that he would been entitled to had he remained an officer
and director of the Company during the period such services were rendered and
had such actions or failure to act occurred in his capacity as an officer and
director of the Company. Schumann shall be entitled to receive prompt
reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for travel, meals,
lodging and similar business expenses that are authorized by the Company and
actually incurred by him in the performance of consulting services hereunder.
Furthermore, after termination of this consulting arrangement, and without
further consideration, Schumann agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company
and its officers with respect to Company business which occurred prior to the
Effective Date so as to allow an orderly transition of the business and affairs
of the Company, provided no significant amount of time is required to be spent
by Schumann to so cooperate. Neither Schumann, Schumann's spouse nor any of
Schumann's dependents shall be entitled to participate in or receive benefits
under, and Schumann, on behalf of himself, his spouse and his dependents hereby
releases and waives any claims under or with respect to, any other retirement,
welfare benefit plans, programs, agreements or arrangements of the Company that
currently exist or may from time to time exist in the future, except for COBRA
and other similar benefits conferred upon him under law. Upon termination of
this consulting arrangement, Schumann will return all property of the Company
in his possession, including without limitation Company credit cards and keys.
5. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information; Nonsolicitation.
Schumann agrees to hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company
all proprietary or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries (each a "Subsidiary") which shall have been
obtained by him during his employment by the Company or the term of the
consulting arrangement set forth in Paragraph 4, as well as all proprietary or
confidential information, knowledge or data of a third party to which Schumann
has access during his employment by the Company or during such consulting
arrangement, provided the Company or such Subsidiary is under an obligation of
confidence to said third party regarding such information, knowledge or data.
During and after the end of the term of this consulting arrangement, except as
may be required by the lawful order of a court or government agency of
competent jurisdiction, Schumann shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Company (and, where applicable, said third party), communicate or
divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone not bound by an
obligation of confidence to the Company or such Subsidiary, or utilize such
information, knowledge or data for any purpose other than for the Company's or
such Subsidiary's benefit. Furthermore, for a period of 18 months from the
Effective Date, Schumann covenants and agrees that he will not, directly or
indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity,
solicit the employment of or employ any person who is as of the date hereof, an
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, except that this covenant and
agreement shall not be applicable with respect the solicitation or employment
of any person who, at the earliest time of any such solicitation or employment,
has not been an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary for a period of at
least three (3) months. Schumann's obligations under this Paragraph 5 shall
apply during the term of this consulting arrangement and shall continue for 18
months thereafter. For purposes of this Agreement,
3
<PAGE> 4
proprietary or confidential information does not include information which is
or becomes public knowledge through no fault of Schumann, or information that
is or becomes known to others as a result of disclosure by a person or entity
other than Schumann who is not in breach of a confidentiality obligation to the
Company or such Subsidiary or, where appropriate, to a third party, in making
such disclosure. Schumann acknowledges that damages are an inadequate remedy
for any breach of this Paragraph 5 because of the difficulty of ascertaining
the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Company of such Subsidiary
in the event this Paragraph 5 is breached, and Schumann therefore agrees that
the Company or such Subsidiary may seek injunctive or other equitable relief
against any breach of this Agreement without bond or any other security being
required.
6. Notices. All notices and other communications under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective when hand delivered
to the other party or when sent by facsimile or when mailed by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the
parties at the addresses set forth below or such other address as either party
shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith:

7. Non-assignability. The rights and obligations extended by the
Company to Schumann under this Agreement are personal to Schumann and shall not
be assignable by him without the prior written consent of the Company.
8. Consulting Relationship; Tax Withholding. It is understood
and agreed that Schumann's relationship with the Company as provided in
Paragraph 4 is that of consultant and not employee of the Company. In the event
that the compensation payable to Schumann under this Agreement is deemed to be
subject to withholding taxes and other employment taxes, then the amount of
compensation payable under this Agreement shall be reduced appropriately to
reflect the amount of any required withholding. The Company shall have no
obligation to make any payments to Schumann or to make Schumann whole for the
amount of any required taxes.

<PAGE> 5
9. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, EXCLUSIVE OF
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. THE PARTIES HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION
OF ALL STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS AND HEREBY AGREE THAT
ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE A PROPER FORUM FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ANY DISPUTE
ARISING HEREUNDER.
10. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any person or entity or under any circumstances, shall
be invalid or unenforceable to any extent under applicable law, and the extent
of such invalidity or unenforceability does not destroy the basis for the
bargain between the parties as expressed herein, then such provision shall be
deemed severed from this Agreement with respect to such person or entity or
such circumstance, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement or the
application of such provision to other persons or entities or circumstances,
and a new provision shall be deemed substituted in lieu of the provision so
severed which new provision shall, to the extent possible, accomplish the
intent of the parties hereto as evidenced by the provision so severed.
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
together constitute a single instrument.
12. Construction. This Agreement has been negotiated by the
parties and their respective counsel and shall be interpreted fairly in
accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or
against either party.
13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements or understandings
with respect to the subject matter contained herein.
14. Informed Execution. All parties to this Agreement expressly
warrant and represent that before executing this Agreement, they have fully
informed themselves of its terms, contents, conditions and effects; and that no
promise or representation of any kind has been made to them except as expressly
stated in this Agreement. All parties are advised to consult with an attorney
of their choice prior to executing this Agreement, and represent that they have
had sufficient time to consult with an attorney. All parties warrant and
represent that they have relied solely and completely upon their own judgment
