the Company and each Additional Purchaser shall execute and deliver a

The Company hereby agrees with the Purchasers as follows:
1. The Company has authorized the issue and sale of

to the Note Purchase Agreement and each series of Additional Notes
which may from time to time hereafter be issued pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement, are
collectively referred to as the "Notes" (such term shall also include
any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13
of the Note Purchase Agreement). The Tranche 1 Notes, the Tranche 2
Notes and the Tranche 3 Notes shall be substantially in the forms set
out in Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2, and Exhibit 3 hereto, respectively, with
such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by the Purchasers
and the Company.
2. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and as set
forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and on the basis of the
representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the Company
agrees to issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser agrees
to purchase from the Company, Series 2000-B Notes in the principal
amount set forth opposite such Purchaser's name on Schedule A hereto at

or on such other Business Day thereafter on or prior to September 15,
2000 as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers. At the
Closing, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Series 2000-B
Notes of the tranche to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a

Series 2000-B Notes of such tranche in denominations of at least $100,
000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the Closing and
registered in such Purchaser's name (or in the name of such Purchaser's

price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the

America, Dallas, Texas, ABA Number 111000025. If, at the Closing, the
Company shall fail to tender such Series 2000-B Notes to any Purchaser
as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified
in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to any Purchaser's
satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at such Purchaser's election, be
relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without
thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such
failure or such nonfulfillment.
4. The obligation of each Purchaser to purchase and pay
for the Series 2000-B Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing

Agreement shall be correct as of the date of Closing and the
Company shall have delivered to each Purchaser an Officer's
Certificate, dated the date of the Closing certifying that
such condition has been fulfilled.

(b) Optional Prepayments. The Series 2000-B Notes are

Agreement.
(c) Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of
each partial prepayment of the Series 2000-B Notes pursuant to the
provisions of Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement, the principal
amount of the Series 2000-B Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated
among all of the Notes of such Series at the time outstanding in
proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid
principal amounts thereof.
(d) Make-Whole Amount for Series 2000-B Notes. The term
"Make-Whole Amount" means, with respect to a Series 2000-B Note of any
tranche, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value
of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called
Principal of the Series 2000-B Notes of such tranche over the amount of
such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no
event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole
Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:
"Called Principal" means, with respect to a Series
2000-B Note of any tranche, the principal of the Series 2000-B
Notes of such tranche that is to be
3
prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared
to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12 1, as
the context requires.
"Discounted Value" means, with respect to the Called
Principal of a Series 2000-B Note of any tranche, the amount
obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with
respect to such Called Principal from their respective
scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to
such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial
practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same
periodic basis as that on which interest on the Series 2000-B
Notes of such tranche is payable) equal to the Reinvestment
Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
"Reinvestment Yield" means, with respect to the
Called Principal of a Series 2000-B Note of any tranche, 0.50%
plus the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported,
as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business
Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called
Principal, on the display designated as "PX-1" on the
Bloomberg Financial Market Screen (or such other display as
may replace "PX-1" on the Bloomberg Financial Market Screen)
for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a
maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields
are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of
such time are not ascertainable, the Treasury Constant
Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for
which such yields have been so reported as of the second
Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to
such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for
actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant
maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield will
be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury
bill quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with
accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly on
a straight line basis between (1) the actively traded U.S.
Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater
than the Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded
U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less
than the Remaining Average Life.
"Remaining Average Life" means, with respect to any
Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the
nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called
Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by
multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining
Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b)
the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth
year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with
respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of
such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
"Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to
the Called Principal of a Series 2000-B Note of any tranche,
all payments of such Called
4
Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the
Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no
payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its
scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is
not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under
the terms of the Series 2000-B Notes of such tranche, then the
amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will
be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such
Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement
Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1.
"Settlement Date" means, with respect to the Called
Principal of a Series 2000-B Note of any tranche, the date on
which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to
Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due
and payable pursuant to Section 12. 1, as the context
requires.
6. Each Purchaser represents and warrants that the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of the Note
Purchase Agreement are true and correct on the date hereof with respect
to the purchase of the Series 2000-B Notes to be purchased by such
Purchaser.
7 The Company and each Purchaser agree to be bound by
and comply with the terms and provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement
as fully and completely as if such Purchaser were an original signatory
to the Note Purchase Agreement.
5
The execution hereof shall constitute a contract between the Company
and the Purchasers for the uses and purposes hereinabove set forth, and this
agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each executed
counterpart constituting an original but all together only one agreement.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS
The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that except as
hereinafter set forth in this Exhibit A, each of the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement is true and
correct as of the date hereof with respect to the Series 2000-B Notes with the
same force and effect as if each reference to "Series 2000-A Notes" set forth
therein was modified to refer to the "Series 2000-B Notes" and each reference to
"this Agreement" therein was modified to refer to the Note Purchase Agreement as
supplemented by the First Supplement. The Section references hereinafter set
forth correspond to the similar sections of the Note Purchase Agreement which
are supplemented hereby:
Section 5.3. Disclosure. The Note Purchase Agreement, the documents,
certificates or other writings delivered to each Purchaser by or on behalf of
the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note
Purchase Agreement and the First Supplement and the financial statements listed
in Schedule 5.5 to the First Supplement, taken as a whole, do not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
under which they were made. Since December 31, 1999, there has been no change in
the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the
Company or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the aggregate
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.4 Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries.
Schedule 5.4 to the First Supplement contains (except as noted therein) complete
and correct lists of (i) the Company's Subsidiaries, and showing, as to each
Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and
the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity
interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary, and (ii)
the Company's directors and senior officers.
Section 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor
anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Series 2000-B Notes or any similar
securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or
otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other
than the Purchasers and not more than 40 other Institutional Investors, each of
which has been offered the Series 2000-B Notes at a private sale for investment.
Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any
action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.
Section 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will
apply the proceeds of the sale of the Series 2000-B Notes to repay existing
indebtedness, for acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes. No part
of the proceeds from the sale of the Series 2000-B Notes pursuant to the First
Supplement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or
carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 222), or for the purpose of
buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to
involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or
to involve any broker or dealer in a
EXHIBIT A
(to Supplement)
violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). As used in this Section,
the terms "margin stock" and "purpose of buying or carrying" shall have the
meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.
Section 5.15. Existing Debt; Future Liens. (a) Schedule 5.15 to the
First Supplement sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Debt
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2000, since which date there
has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds,
installment payments or maturities of the Debt of the Company or its
Subsidiaries except that pursuant to the underwriter's overallotment option an
additional $22,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated
Convertible Notes were issued on August 7, 2000. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the
payment of any principal or interest on any Debt of the Company or such
Subsidiary in an unpaid amount of $1,000,000 or more and no event or condition
exists with respect to any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary in an unpaid
amount of $1,000,000 or more that would permit (or that with notice or the
lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to
