Section 2.3 of the Purchase Agreement, except that the parties
hereto agree that such break up fee shall be reduced by the
amount of the Extension Fee.

portion thereof due at Closing shall be increased by $27,000,000,
multiplied by Comerica Bank-Texas' base rate on July 15, 1998,

1998 through and including the date on which Funding occurs.
