      WHEREAS,
the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to a certain
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2006, as
amended by that certain First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, effective as of
August 31, 2006, and that certain Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement,

Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders are
willing to do so;

      


      NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of
all of which are acknowledged, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent agree as follows:

      


      1.           Amendments.

      


      (a)           Section
1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by:

      


      (i)            replacing

declared or have automatically become due and payable (whether by acceleration
or otherwise).


      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      (ii)           deleting

Revolving Commitment Termination Date”, “SNPI”, “SNPI Payout” and “SNPI Purchase
Price” ;

      


      (iii)          inserting
the definitions of “Permitted Senior Investment Participation”, “Senior
Investment Participation” and “Third Amendment Effective Date” in appropriate

Investment Participation” shall mean any Senior Investment Participation;
provided that the aggregate outstanding principal or capital amount of all
Senior Investment Participations does not exceed $20,000,000 at any one
time outstanding.

      


      “Senior Investment
Participation” shall mean any transfer or assignment of a right or
interest in any loan or other investment (other than any collateral securing the
Treasury Revolving Loans) owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which
represents less than all of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s interest in such
loan or other investment and which grants to the holder thereof rights to
receive payments in respect of such loan or other investment or rights in
respect to Liens or proceeds of collateral in respect of such loan or other
investment which rights are prior or senior to the retained rights of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary in such Investment.

      


      “Third Amendment
Effective Date” shall mean September 29, 2008.

      


      (b)           Section

7.5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by re-designating clause “(c)” as
clause “(d)” and adding the following new clause (c) immediately following
clause (b):

      


      “, (c)
Permitted Senior Investment Participations”.

      


      (d)           Section
7.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the existing clause
(iii) of the proviso to such section with the following new clause
(iii):

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      “(iii)
the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions contained in a
Permitted Senior Investment Participation.”


      (e)           Schedule
I and Schedule II of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by replacing the
schedules in their entirety with the Schedule I and Schedule II attached
hereto.

owed to Amegy Bank National Association, which Commitment reduction shall be
effective on the Third Amendment Effective Date.

      


      3.          
  Senior
Lender Subordination.  The Lenders
hereby expressly permit the Administrative Agent to subordinate the Liens and
other rights granted to the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Document
in respect of any loan or other investment owned by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries to any Permitted Senior Investment Participation in such loan or
other investment, so long as the terms and conditions with respect to such
subordination are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent.

      


      4.          
  Conditions
to Effectiveness of this Amendment.  Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Amendment and without affecting in any manner the
rights of the Lenders hereunder, it is understood and agreed that this Amendment
shall not become effective, and the Borrower shall have no rights under this
Amendment, until each Lender executing this Amendment has been paid an upfront
fee of 0.5% on the amount of its Commitment specified in Schedule II after

received (i) reimbursement or payment of its costs and expenses incurred in
connection with this Amendment or the Credit Agreement (including reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of King & Spalding LLP, counsel to the
Administrative Agent), (ii) executed counterparts to this Amendment from the
Borrower, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lenders, and (iii) duly
executed counterparts of the Fourth Amendment to Treasury Secured Revolving

Borrower, Lenders and the Administrative Agent, executed by each party

Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment, Borrower
hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent

property is bound; (vi) does not result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien upon any of the property of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; and (vii)

and by general principals of equity; and

      


      (c)           After
giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all
material respects, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is

Guaranty.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor consents to the execution
and delivery by the Borrower of this Amendment and jointly and severally ratify
and confirm the terms of the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement with respect to the
indebtedness now or hereafter outstanding under the Credit Agreement as amended
hereby and all promissory notes issued thereunder. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or
in any other document evidencing any indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders
or any other obligation of the Borrower, or any actions now or hereafter taken
by the Lenders with respect to any obligation of the Borrower, the Subsidiary
Guarantee Agreement (i) is and shall continue to be a primary obligation of the
Guarantors, (ii) is and shall continue to be an absolute, unconditional, joint
and several, continuing and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and (iii) is and
shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with its
terms.  Nothing contained herein to the contrary shall release,

the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents shall be
and remain in full force and effect and shall constitute the legal, valid,
binding and enforceable obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent.  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of
this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a
waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement,
nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit
Agreement.  This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all
purposes of the Credit Agreement.

original and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and
the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this
