     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is

Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantors agree as follows:



     1. Definitions. Capitalized terms defined in the Recitals section of this Amendment

have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Forbearance Agreement and the Credit Agreement.



     2. Amendments to the Forbearance Agreement. The Borrower, the Guarantors, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that the Forbearance Agreement will be amended as
follows:




     (a) Forbearance Period. Section 2(a)(i)(y) of the Forbearance

“December 28, 2009.”



     4. Conditions to Amendments. The amendments contained in Section 2 hereof are
subject to the conditions set forth below. Failure to comply with these conditions will be deemed

     (a) Immediately upon receipt thereof, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders copies of all information provided by any third party acceptable to
the Lenders (an “Offering Party”) that proposes to enter into a Borrower Merger

(a “Proposed Transaction”) that is submitted to the Borrower to demonstrate to the
Borrower’s satisfaction such Offering Party’s ability to consummate a Proposed Transaction;




     (b) Immediately upon receipt thereof, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders copies of any term sheet or other documents provided by any Offering

Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that contain preliminary terms and conditions
surrounding such Offering Party’s ability to raise equity and/or obtain financing in order
to consummate such Proposed Transaction and to accomplish a restructuring/refinancing of the
Credit Agreement.




     (c) On or before December 28, 2009, an Offering Party shall have presented to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders a detailed restructuring/refinancing plan, subject to
the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, whereby the Proposed Transaction
contemplated by the Offering Party will result in the restructuring or refinancing of all of
the Borrower’s Obligations under the Credit Agreement, subject only to the closing of such
transaction. Such plan shall contain detailed information surrounding the Offering Party’s
ability to raise equity and/or obtain financing in order to consummate such Proposed
Transaction and detailed information surrounding the Borrower’s and the Offering Party’s
timetable and agenda for consummating such Proposed Transaction and for
restructuring/refinancing the Credit Agreement.

5. Ratifications, Representations and Warranties.





     (a) Ratification of Loan Documents and Liens. Except as expressly modified and
superseded by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents are ratified
and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect. Each Credit Party, the
Administrative Agent and Lenders agree that the Loan Documents shall continue to be legal,
valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Each Credit Party
further expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders have a valid, non-avoidable,
enforceable and perfected security interest in and lien against each item of collateral
described in the Security Documents, and that such security interest and lien secures the
payment Obligations and the performance of all other obligations of the Borrower under the
Loan Documents.




     (b) General Representations and Warranties. Each Credit Party hereby jointly
and severally represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that (i) the
execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment has been duly authorized by all
requisite organizational action on the part of such Credit Party and will not violate the
constituent organizational documents of such Credit Party, contravene any contractual
restriction, any law, rule or regulation or court or administrative decree or order binding
on or affecting such Credit Party or result in, or require the creation or imposition of any
lien, security interest or encumbrance on any of the properties of such Credit Party; (ii)
this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party and is the legal,
valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms;
(iii) subject to the existence of the Designated Events of Default, the representations and
warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and any Loan Document are true and correct on
and as of the date hereof and on and as of the date of execution hereof as though made on
and as of each such date; (iv) except for the Designated Events of Default, no Default or
Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing; (v) except for
the Designated Events of Default, such Credit Party is in full compliance with all covenants
and agreements contained in the Loan Documents; and (vi) absent the effectiveness of this
Amendment, the Administrative Agent and Lenders are entitled to exercise immediately their
respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the
right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations and enforce their rights and remedies
under the Security Documents.




     (c) Ratification of Guarantees. Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges and
consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment and hereby ratifies and
confirms its respective guarantee under the Guarantee dated as of December 23, 2004 (the
“Guarantee”) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders. Each
Guarantor hereby represents and acknowledges that the execution and delivery of this
Amendment shall in no way change or modify its obligations as a guarantor under the
Guarantee and shall not constitute a waiver by either the Administrative Agent or Lenders of
any of either the Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights against such Guarantor.

of the Forbearance Agreement have been extended through December 28, 2009.



     7. Miscellaneous Provisions.




     (a) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made in any Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Amendment, and no investigation by the Administrative Agent or Lenders or any closing shall
affect the representations and warranties or the right of the Administrative Agent or
Lenders to rely upon them.




     (b) Limitation on Relationship between Parties. The relationship of the
Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other
hand, has been and shall continue to be, at all times, that of creditor and debtor. Nothing
contained in this Amendment, any instrument, document or agreement delivered in connection
therewith or in the Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed to create a fiduciary
relationship between the parties.




     (c) Expenses of the Administrative Agent or Lenders. The Borrower agrees to
pay on demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent and Lenders in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and enforcement

this Amendment and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision so held to be
invalid or unenforceable.

of this Amendment shall be effective without the written agreement of each Credit Party and
the Required Lenders, and no waiver of any provision of this Amendment or consent to any
departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event



4









 






be effective without the written concurrence of the Required Lenders. Any waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which it was given.




     (g) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties
hereto in any number of separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument, and all signature pages transmitted by electronic transmission shall be
considered as original executed counterparts. Each party to this Amendment agrees that it
will be bound by its own facsimile or electronic signature and that it accepts the facsimile
or electronic signatures of each other party.




     (h) Headings. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Amendment
are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.




     (i) Further Assurances. Each Credit Party agrees to execute such other and

provisions of this Amendment and to perfect and protect the liens and security interests
created by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.




     (k) Release. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS NO DEFENSE,

HAS NOT PURPORTED TO TRANSFER, ASSIGN OR OTHERWISE CONVEY ANY RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST OF A
CREDIT PARTY IN ANY RELEASED MATTER TO ANY OTHER PERSON AND THAT THE FOREGOING CONSTITUTES A
FULL AND COMPLETE RELEASE OF EACH CREDIT PARTY’S CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO ALL SUCH MATTERS.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7(k) AND THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, RELEASES, WAIVERS,
