                  WHEREAS, the Company has discovered a discrepancy with the
            manner in which it has allocated Basic Contributions as well as
            forfeited Matching Contributions between that provided for in the
            Alamco, Inc. Savings and Protection Plan, as amended (the "Plan");
            and

                  WHEREAS, the Company is desirous of amending the Plan in order
            to correctly reflect the proper methodology for allocation of the
            funds set forth above.

                  NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Directors hereby agree
            to amend the Plan as follows effective January 1, 1996.

                  1.    Section 2.22 is amended and restated in its entirety to
            read as follows:

                        "Entry Date" shall mean each June 30 and

            quent January 1 and July 1. 

                  2.    Section 5.1(b) is amended and restated in its entirety
            to read as follows:

                        The Recordkeeper shall establish on its books a Basic
            Contribution Account and a Matching Contribution Account in the name
            of each Participant.  Each Participant's Basic Contribution Account
            shall be credited with the Basic Contributions allocated to such
            Participant, credited with forfeitures from the Basic Contribution
            Accounts of other Participants allocated to such Participant,
            credited or debited with its share of gains or losses of the Trust
            Fund, and debited for distributions from such account.  Basic
            Contributions and forfeitures from Basic Contribution Accounts shall
            be reallocated to other Participants on the basis of each Partici-
            pant's Compensation, when expressed as a percentage of the total of
            all Participant's Compensation.  Each Participant's Matching Contri-
            bution Account shall be credited with Matching Contributions made on
            behalf of such Participant, credited with forfeitures from the
            Matching Contribution Accounts of other Participants allocated to
            the Participant, credited or debited with its share of gains or
            losses of the Trust Fund, and debited for distributions from such
            account.  Forfeitures from Matching Contribution Accounts shall be
            reallocated to  other Participants  on  the basis  of each Particip-
            ant's Deferrals for the Plan Year, when expressed as a percentage of
            all Participant's Deferrals for such Plan Year.  A Participant shall
            receive an allocation of Basic Contributions and forfeitures only if
            he is employed by the Employer on the last day of the period for
            which such Basic Contribution is made or in which such forfeiture
            occurs.  A Participant shall be credited with Matching contributions
            made on his behalf only if he is employed by the employer on the
            last day of the period for which such Matching Contribution is made.


            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Alamco, Inc. has caused this Fourth Amendment to
be signed by its duly authorized officers as of this 12th day of December, 1996.
