          5.   Method of Exercise.  The Option shall be exercised
by written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the Company's
principal executive offices, accompanied by a certified check in
payment of the option price for the number of shares specified. 
The Company shall make immediate delivery of such shares.  However,
the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificates for shares of Stock prior to (a) the listing of such
shares on any stock exchange on which the Stock may then be listed,
and (b) the completion of any registration or qualification of such
shares under any federal or state law, or any ruling or regulation
of any government body which the Company shall, in its sole
discretion, deem to be necessary or advisable.

          6.   Termination of Option.  Unless otherwise provided
herein, the Option, to the extent not previously exercised, shall
terminate upon the first to occur of the following dates:
               a.   The expiration of three (3) months after the
     date of termination of the Optionee's employment with the
     Company for any reason other than death or disability;

               b.   The expiration of twelve (12) months after the
     date on which Optionee's employment by the Company is
     terminated, if such termination is by reason of Optionee's
     death or permanent and total disability; or

               c.   May 30, 2005.

In the event of exercise of the Option after termination of
employment for any reason, Optionee may exercise the Option only
with respect to the shares of Stock which could have been purchased
by Optionee at the date of termination of employment.

          7.   Stock Adjustments and Mergers.  In the event that
the outstanding shares of the Company's Stock is increased or

kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of any other
corporation by reason of any merger, sale of stock, consolidation,
liquidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock splits,
combination of shares, or stock dividend, the total number of
shares subject to the Option granted herein shall be
proportionately and appropriately adjusted by the Company.  If the
Company continues in existence, the number and kind of shares that
are subject to the Option and the option price per share shall be
proportionately and appropriately adjusted without any change in
the aggregate price to be paid therefor upon exercise of the
Option.  If the Company will not remain in existence or
substantially all of if Stock will be purchased by a single
purchaser or group of purchasers acting together, then the Company
may (i) declare that all Options shall terminate 30 days after the
Company gives written notice to Optionee of his immediate right to
exercise all Options then outstanding (without regard to
limitations on exercise otherwise contained herein), or (ii) notify
Optionee that all Option's granted herein shall apply with
appropriate adjustments as determined by the Company to the
securities of the successor corporation to which Optionee, as
holder of the number of shares subject to the Option, would have
been entitled, or (iii) some combination of the aspects of (i) and
(ii).  The determination by the Company as to the terms of any of
the foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding.  Any
fractional shares resulting from any of the foregoing adjustments
shall be disregarded and eliminated.

          8.   Rights Prior to Exercise of Option.  This Option is
nontransferable by Optionee, other than by the laws of descent and
distribution, and during his lifetime is exercisable only by him. 
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any
shares subject to the Option until payment of the option price and
delivery to him of a certificate or certificates for such shares as
herein provided.

          9.   Additional Requirements.  It is the Company's intent
that the ISO granted Optionee herein qualify for the favorable tax
treatment accorded options under Sections 421, 422 and 424 of the
Code.  However, in order to obtain this favorable tax treatment,
Optionee must accomplish certain other requirements set forth in
the foregoing Code provisions relating to the holding period of the
Stock received upon exercise of the ISO and continued employment
with the Company.  The Company shall not be held liable in any
manner for the failure of the Option granted herein to qualify for
favorable tax treatment.  The NQO is not intended to qualify for
the favorable tax treatment accorded ISOs under Sections 421, 422
and 424 of the Code.

          10.  Binding Effect.  The terms of this Option shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company, the
Optionee, their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors, and assigns.

          11.  Governing Law.  This Option shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Mississippi.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
Option to be executed June 1, 1995, but effective as of May 31,
1995.
