ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     The information required by this item is not applicable to this 
Registration Statement.

     
ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     The information required by this item is not applicable to this 
Registration Statement.


ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

The Registrant has authority under Articles 2.02 (A) (16) and 2.02-1 of the 
Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA") to indemnify its directors and 
officers to the extent provided for 

                                     II-1


in such statute.  The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws allow 
indemnification of directors and officers to the extent permitted by said 
provisions of the TBCA.

The TBCA provides in part that a corporation may indemnify a director or 
officer or other person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named 
defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a 
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, if it is determined 
that such person (i) conducted himself in good faith; (ii) reasonably 
believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director or 
officer of the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation's best 
interests, and, in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed 
to the corporation's best interest; and (iii) in the case of any criminal 
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

A corporation may indemnify a person under the TBCA against judgments, 
penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements, and 
reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the 
proceeding.  If the person is found liable to the corporation or is found 
liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the 
person, the indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually 
incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding, and shall not be 
made in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been found 
liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty 
to the corporation.

A corporation may also pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a person in 
connection with his appearance as a witness or other participation in a 
proceeding at a time when he is not a named defendant or respondent in the 
proceeding.

Reference is also made to the Articles of Incorporation, which limit or 
eliminate a director's liability for monetary damages to the Registrant or 
its shareholders for acts or omissions in the director's capacity as a 
director, except that the articles of incorporation do not eliminate the 
liability of a director for (i) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to 
the Registrant or its shareholders, (ii) an act or omission not in good faith 
that constitutes a breach of duty of the director to the Registrant of an act 
or omission that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of 
the law, (iii) a transaction from a director received an improper benefit, 
whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of 
the director's office, or (iv) an act or omission for which the liability of 
a director is expressly provided for by an applicable statute.  The 
Registrant's Bylaws further provide that the Registrant may indemnify its 
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Pursuant to a policy of directors' and officers' liability and corporation 
reimbursement insurance, with total annual limits of $5,000,000 the 
registrant's officers and directors are insured, subject to the limits, 
retention, exceptions and other terms and conditions of such policy, against 
liability for any actual or alleged breach of duty, neglect, error, 
misstatement, misleading statement, omission or other act done or wrongfully 
attempted while acting in their capacities as directors or officers of the 
registrant.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

A.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
          post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any
          material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
          previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
          change to such information in the Registration Statement;

     (2)  that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
          Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
          be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
          therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
          deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof; and

     (3)  to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
          of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the
          termination of the offering.

B.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of 
     determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the 
     registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of 
     the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee 
     benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act)
     that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be 
     deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities 
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall 
     be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                     II-3


C.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
     registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the 
     registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such 
     indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
     and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for 
     indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the 
     registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or 
     controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any 
     action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or 
     controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the 
     registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been 
     settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate 
     jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
     public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by 
     the final adjudication of such issue.


                                   SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant certifies 
that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements

City of Austin, Texas, on June 16, 1998:
