Re:   Loan Agreement

Dear Mr. Moore:

     The undersigned, Washington Oregon Wireless, LLC ("BORROWER"), a limited
liability company duly organized, existing, and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Oregon, has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
(the "MERGER AGREEMENT") pursuant to which Borrower will merge (the "PARENT
MERGER") with and into Alamosa Holdings, Inc. ("SUPERHOLDINGS") simultaneously
with the merger (the "SUBSIDIARY MERGER," together with the Parent Merger, the
"MERGERS") of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Superholdings with and into Alamosa
PCS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ALAMOSA"). In connection with the
execution of the Merger Agreement, Borrower and Alamosa Operations, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Alamosa (in its capacity as Manager
thereunder, "MANAGER") have entered into a Services Agreement (herein so called)
pursuant to which Manager shall manage the operations of Borrower.

     Borrower has requested that Alamosa Operations, Inc. (in its capacity as
Lender hereunder, "LENDER"), extend credit to Borrower to enable Borrower to
borrow on and after the date of this Agreement a principal amount not to exceed
$11,000,000, only for the purposes of (i) satisfying capital contribution
requirements under the Operating Agreement of Borrower, and (ii) funding
Borrower's working capital needs from the date hereof through the consummation
of the Parent Merger (the "MERGER DATE"). Lender has advised Borrower that
Lender is willing to advance such funds to Borrower upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this letter agreement (this "AGREEMENT"). Lender
and Borrower acknowledge and agree that on the Merger Date, all amounts due to
Lender by Borrower may, at Lender's option, be deemed paid in full and, in such
case, all funds advanced by Lender to Borrower hereunder and all accrued
interest thereon (the "MERGER DATE LOAN BALANCE") shall be characterized for all
purposes as capital contributions by Lender to Borrower. If, on the Merger Date,
Lender elects not to characterize the Merger Date Loan Balance as a capital
contribution, such amount shall remain a debt obligation of Borrower, subject to
the terms and conditions of a subordination agreement in favor of, and in form
and substance acceptable to, the senior lender to Alamosa Holdings, Inc., (the
"SENIOR LENDER SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT"). In consideration for the above
premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, Borrower and
Lender agree as follows:

     1. Loan. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth,
Lender agrees to lend to Borrower, in multiple advances (each an "ADVANCE") to
be made, from time to time, on or before the Merger Date the sum of up to
$11,000,000 (the "LOAN").

<PAGE>

     2. Manner of Borrowing.

     (a) Notice of Borrowing. (i) Before the first day of the Term of the
Services Agreement, Borrower or (ii) on or after the first day of the Term of
the Services Agreement, Manager, acting on behalf of Borrower under the Services
Agreement, shall (x) give Lender a notice (a "NOTICE OF BORROWING") signed by
Manager and Borrower calling for an Advance on or before 10:00 a.m. (Dallas,
Texas time) two days before the requested Advance is to be funded, (y) specify
in the Notice of Borrowing the aggregate amount, requested date, and the
intended use of the Advance, and (z) certify that the representations and
warranties contained in each of the Loan Documents (defined below) are true in
all material respects as though made on the date of the Notice of Borrowing.
Borrower shall have no independent right to call for Advances, other than to
request Advances to fund capital contribution requirements if Manager does not
do so.

     (b) Minimum Advances; Number of Advances. Each Advance hereunder shall be
in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, and no more than two Advances each calendar
month may be requested or funded.

     (c) Funding. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement not
later than 2:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the date specified, Lender shall
make available to Borrower, at Lender's offices in Lubbock, Texas, the amount of
a requested Advance in immediately available funds.

     3. Promissory Note, Interest, and Payments.

     (a) Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of
EXHIBIT A, duly executed by Borrower (together with any renewals and extensions
thereof, the "NOTE"), dated the date hereof, in the principal amount of
$11,000,000, and payable to the order of Lender.

     (b) Interest Rate. Before the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum, calculated from day to day and
computed from the date of advance until repaid, equal to the lesser of (i) the
maximum lawful rate under applicable law (the "MAXIMUM RATE") or (ii) the per
annum rate of interest established from time to time by Bank of America, N.A.,
as its prime rate, which rate may not be the lowest rate of interest charged by
Bank of America, N.A. to its customers (the "BASE RATE"). Any past-due principal
debt and all past-due interest accruing thereon shall bear interest from
maturity (stated or by acceleration) at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of
(i) the Maximum Rate or (ii) the Base Rate plus 5%.

     (c) Payments.

         (i) Interest. Interest on the unpaid principal of the Loan shall be due
     and payable on the earlier of (A) date designated as 30 days after the
     termination of the Merger Agreement in a written notice delivered by Lender
     to Borrower advising Borrower that the Merger Agreement is being terminated
     and that the Parent Merger will not be consummated or (B) the effective
     date of any acceleration of any of the Obligation (defined below) (the
     "MATURITY DATE"); provided however that if, on the Merger Date, Lender
     elects not to characterize the Merger Date Loan Balance as a capital
     contribution, the Loan shall become a demand obligation, subject to the
     terms of the Subordination Agreements (defined below).

                                       2

<PAGE>

         (ii) Principal. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan,
     including all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable
     on the Maturity Date or, in the event the Loan continues after the Merger
     Date, upon demand.

         (iii) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right, from time to
     time before the Maturity Date or payment of the Loan is otherwise demanded,
     to prepay the Loan, in whole, without premium or penalty, upon the payment
     of all principal and accrued interest on the amount prepaid to and
     including the date of payment.

         (iv) General Payment Terms. All payments on the Loan shall be made to
     Lender at its principal office in Lubbock, Texas in federal or other
     immediately available funds, and payments shall be applied first to accrued
     interest and then to principal. If any payment is scheduled to become due
     and payable on a day that is not a business day, that payment shall instead
     become due and payable on the immediately following business day, interest
     shall be payable with respect to the extension, and interest on the
     principal portion of the payment shall be payable at the then applicable
     rate during the extension. Interest on the Loan shall be calculated on the
     basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the
     first but excluding the last) elapsed, unless the Maximum Rate shall be in
     effect, in which case on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
     case may be.

     4. Conditions Precedent.

     (a) Initial Advance. The obligation of Lender to make its initial Advance
is subject to the conditions that (i) Lender has received duly executed copies

together with this Agreement, and any modifications thereof, collectively, the
"LOAN DOCUMENTS"), (ii) all consents to the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement have been obtained from the parties to the agreements listed on
SCHEDULE 13.1 of the Services Agreement, and (iii) either (A) the waiting period

rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT") has expired or (B)
early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act has been granted.

     (b) All Advances. The obligation of Lender to make any Advance under this
Agreement (including the initial Advance) is subject to the conditions precedent
that, as of the date of the Advance and after giving effect thereto: (i) there
exists no "EVENT OF DEFAULT" (defined below) hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, or event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both
could become an Event of Default (a "POTENTIAL DEFAULT"); (ii) there exists no
default or event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both
could become a default under the loan agreement, dated as of April 12, 2000,
between Borrower and CoBank, ACB (the "EXISTING LOAN AGREEMENT"); (iii) there
exists no default or event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time
or both could become a default under the agreements between Borrower and parties
listed on SCHEDULE 13.1 to the Services Agreement; (iv) Lender shall have
received from Manager (or Borrower if before the first day of the Term of the
Services Agreement) a Notice of Borrowing and all of the statements contained in
the Notice of Borrowing shall be true and correct; and (v) the representations
and warranties contained in each of the Loan Documents shall be true in all
material respects as though made on the date of the Advance.

<PAGE>

     5. Representations and Warranties. To induce Lender to make the Loan
hereunder, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender, subject to the provisions
of the Merger Agreement and the Disclosure Schedules relating thereto, that:

     (a) The Loan Documents are the legal and binding obligations of Borrower,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the
enforcement of creditors' rights; Borrower and each Guarantor has full power and
authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to incur and perform the
obligations provided for therein;

     (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, nor consummation of any of the transactions herein or therein
contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof,
will contravene or conflict with any provision of law, statute, or regulation to
which Borrower is subject or any judgment, license, order or permit applicable
to Borrower or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to
which Borrower may be subject or to which Borrower may be a party; no consent,
approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental authority, or third
party is required in connection with the execution and delivery by Borrower of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to consummate the
transactions contemplated herein or therein (and such consents are set forth on
SCHEDULE 5(B));

     (c) Upon the delivery of each Notice of Borrowing, there shall exist no

contemplated hereby, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or fails
to state any material fact necessary to keep the statements contained therein
from being misleading;

     (f) Each Notice of Borrowing shall constitute, without the necessity of
specifically containing a written statement, a representation and warranty by
Borrower that no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, and that all
representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and
correct on and as of the date the requested Advance is to be made, except to the
extent any such representations and warranties are expressly stated to be made
as of another date; and

     (g) All representations and warranties by Borrower herein shall survive
delivery of the Note and the making of the Loan, and any investigation at any
time made by or on behalf of Lender shall not diminish Lender's right to rely
thereon.

     6. Guaranties. To secure the full and complete performance by Borrower of
the payment and performance of the Loan and all other liabilities and
obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Note (the "OBLIGATION") if
the Parent Merger is not consummated, certain Members of Borrower that are
indicated on SCHEDULE 6 (as amended from time to time to add Guarantors) (each
such Member, a

Borrower for such fiscal year, in each case setting forth in comparative form
the figures for the preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and
accompanied by an opinion thereon (which shall not be qualified by reason of any
limitation imposed by Borrower) of Aldrich Killbride & Tatone LLP or of other
independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by

statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied and that the examination of such accounts in
connection with such financial statements has been made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards;

     (f) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, immediately upon becoming aware of

                                       7

<PAGE>

contained herein, in the Note, or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, (ii) reduce any claim to judgment, and/or (iii) without notice
of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Lender's rights and remedies
under the Loan Documents or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any
applicable law or agreement.

     11. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part
of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided
by law. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the
right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such
notice or demand.

     (b) Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted to
be given by any of the Loan Documents must be given in writing and must be
personally delivered, telecopied (with an original notice delivered by overnight
courier service), or mailed by prepaid certified or registered mail to the party
to whom such notice or communication is directed at the address of such party
set forth on the signature page to this Agreement. Any such notice or other
communication shall be deemed to have been given on the day it is received as
aforesaid. Any party may change its address for purposes of this Agreement by
giving notice of such change to all other parties pursuant to this SECTION
11(b).

     (c) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are being
executed and delivered, and are intended to be performed, in Lubbock County, in
the State of Texas, and the substantive laws of Texas shall govern the validity,
construction, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and all other
Loan Documents, except to the extent: (i) the federal laws governing national
banks expressly supersede and have contrary application; or (ii) federal laws
governing maximum interest rates shall provide for rates of interest higher than
those permitted under the laws of the State of Texas.

     (d) Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during
the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by
its severance from this Agreement.

     (e) Maximum Interest Rate. Regardless of any provisions contained in this
Agreement, the Note, or in any of other Loan Documents, Lender shall never be
deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as
interest on the Note, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest
permitted to be charged by applicable law, and, if Lender ever receives,
collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be
excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and
treated hereunder as such, and, if the principal balance of the Note is paid in
full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining
whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency
exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower, and Lender shall, to the maximum
extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal
payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments
hereunder) as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as interest,

                                       8

<PAGE>

(ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (iii) spread the
total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Note so
that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term.

     (f) Subordination. Lender acknowledges that the Obligation of Borrower
under this Agreement shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Existing
Loan Agreement and will execute documents reasonably acceptable to Lender in
order to memorialize that subordination (the "EXISTING LOAN SUBORDINATION
AGREEMENT," together with the Senior Lender Subordination Agreement, the
"SUBORDINATION AGREEMENTS").

     (g) Entirety and Amendments. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement
between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if
any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents may be amended only by an instrument in writing
executed by the party, or an authorized officer of the party, against whom such
amendment is sought to be enforced.

     (h) Parties Bound. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal
representatives; provided, however, that Borrower may not, without the prior
written consent of Lender, assign any rights, powers, duties, or obligations
hereunder.

     (i) Expenses. Borrower will promptly pay all reasonable costs, fees, and
expenses paid or incurred by Lender incident to this Agreement (including the
fees and expenses of counsel to Lender in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, and execution of this Agreement and any amendments hereto) or
incident to the collection of the Loan.

     (j) Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and
shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

     (k) Financial Terms. As used in this Agreement, all financial and
accounting terms not otherwise defined herein shall be defined and calculated in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

     (l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.

     THIS WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE
NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

     If Borrower agrees to the foregoing, Borrower should execute this Agreement
in the spaces indicated on the signature page below.

                                FORM OF GUARANTY

         THIS GUARANTY (this "GUARANTY") is executed as of July ___, 2000, by
the undersigned ("GUARANTOR," whose address is set forth on the signature page
to this Guaranty, for the benefit of Alamosa Operations, Inc. ("LENDER"), whose
address is set forth on the signature page to this Guaranty.

                                 R E C I T A L S

         A. Washington Oregon Wireless, LLC and Lender have entered into a Loan
Agreement dated as of July ___, 2000 (as amended, modified, supplemented, or
restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT").

         B. This Guaranty is integral to the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Agreement, and the execution and delivery hereof is a condition precedent
to the making of advances and other extensions of credit under the Loan
Agreement.

         ACCORDINGLY, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor, agrees, for the benefit of
Lender, as follows:

1.       DEFINITIONS

         1.1 LOAN AGREEMENT DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise defined herein, or the
context otherwise requires, terms used in this Guaranty, including its preamble
and recitals, have the meanings provided in the Loan Agreement.

         1.2 CERTAIN TERMS. The following terms when used in this Agreement,
including its preamble and recitals, have the following meanings (such
definitions to be equally applicable to the singular and plural forms thereof):

         BORROWER means Washington Oregon Wireless, LLC, an Oregon limited
liability company.

         GUARANTEED DEBT means all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of
Borrower to Lender arising under the Loan Agreement and the related Note.

2.       GUARANTY. Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally, and absolutely
guarantees in favor of Lender and its assigns the prompt payment when due of the
Guaranteed Debt if the Parent Merger is not consummated, provided, however, that
Guarantor's obligation to make payments to Lender hereunder shall be limited to
an amount equal to Guarantor's Pro Rata Portion (defined below) of the
Guaranteed Debt. As used herein, the term "PRO RATA PORTION" means a percentage
equal to the proportion that (a) Guarantor's total Capital Contribution
Commitment (defined below) bears to (b) the aggregate Capital Contribution
Commitments of all Members that have executed and delivered to Lender a Guaranty
in the form of EXHIBIT B to the Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents
applicable to each such Member. As used herein, "CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION
COMMITMENT" means the amount (as set forth on SCHEDULE 6 to the Loan Agreement)
of obligations of each Member of Borrower to make capital contributions to
Borrower during the calendar year 2000. This is an unconditional guaranty of
payment, and not a guaranty of collection, and Lender may enforce Guarantor's
obligations hereunder without first suing, or enforcing its rights or remedies
against,

<PAGE>

Borrower or any other obligor, or enforcing or collecting any present or future
collateral security for any of the Guaranteed Debt. Lender may not enforce
Guarantor's obligations to make payments hereunder before October 1, 2000.

3.       CONSIDERATION. Guarantor represents and warrants that it has received
or will receive direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty and
the creation of the Guaranteed Debt, that Guarantor is familiar with the
financial condition of Borrower and the value of any collateral security, if
any, for the Guaranteed Debt and that Lender has made no representations to
Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

3.       WAIVERS. Guarantor hereby waives notice of (a) acceptance of this
Guaranty, (b) the extension of credit by Lender to Borrower, (c) the occurrence
of any breach or default by Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Debt, (d) the
sale or foreclosure on any collateral for any of the Guaranteed Debt, (e) the
transfer of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt to any third party and (f)
all other notices including, but not limited to, notice of presentment, protest,
notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intent to accelerate and
notice of acceleration with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt.
Further, Guarantor expressly waives each and every right to which it may be
entitled by virtue of the suretyship law of the state of Texas, including , but
not limited to, any rights pursuant to Rule 31, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure,
Articles 1986 and 1987, Revised Civil Statutes of Texas and Chapter 34 of the
Texas Business and Commerce Code.

4.       NO RELEASE. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees to, and acknowledges
that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged by, the
following: (a) the renewal, extension, modification, or alteration of any Loan
Document, the Guaranteed Debt, or any related document or instrument; (b) any
forbearance or compromise granted to Borrower by Lender; (c) the insolvency,
bankruptcy, liquidation, or dissolution of Borrower or any other obligor (it is
specifically agreed, without limitation, that the filing of any bankruptcy or
similar proceeding by or against Borrower or any other obligor with respect to
any of the Guaranteed Debt shall not affect the obligations of Guarantor under
this Guaranty or the rights of Lender under this Guaranty, including, but not
limited to, the right or ability of Lender to pursue or institute suit against
Guarantor for the entire Guaranteed Debt; (d) the invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt against Borrower or
any other obligor; (e) the full or partial release of Borrower or any other
obligor; (f) the release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration,
waste, loss, or impairment (including, but not limited to, negligent, willful,
unreasonable, or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral for any of the
Guaranteed Debt; (g) the failure of Lender to properly obtain, perfect, or
preserve any security interest or lien in any such collateral; (h) the failure
of Lender to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness, or reasonable care
in the preservation, enforcement or sale of any such collateral (including, but
not limited to, the failure to conduct any foreclosure or other remedy fairly or
in such a way so as to obtain the best possible price or a favorable price or
otherwise act or fail to act); and (i) any other act or omission of Lender or
Borrower which would otherwise constitute or create a legal or equitable defense
in favor of Guarantor or increase the likelihood or risk that Guarantor will be
required to pay the Guaranteed Debt pursuant to the terms hereof.

5.       SUBROGATION AND CONTRIBUTION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor waives all rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnification, contribution, and all other claims against
Borrower and every other party which is or shall ever be in any way obligated on
the Guaranteed Debt which Guarantor may ever have as a result of payment of any
of the Guaranteed Debt, as well as all incidental rights and benefits in favor
of Guarantor in connection with payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt.

<PAGE>

6.       SUBORDINATION. After default in the payment of any of the Guaranteed
Debt, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from
Borrower or any other obligor, any payments on any debts and liabilities of
Borrower, or any distributions with respect to any ownership interest in
Borrower, to Guarantor, or any of them, whether now existing or hereafter
arising and whether direct, indirect, several, joint and several, or otherwise,
and howsoever evidenced or created (collectively, the "GUARANTOR CLAIMS"),
which, together with all liens, security interests, and all other encumbrances
or charges on assets securing the payment of all or any portion of the Guarantor
Claims, are hereby subordinated to, and are, and shall remain inferior and
subordinate to the Guaranteed Debt and all liens, security interests, and all
other encumbrances or charges on assets securing all or any portion of the
Guaranteed Debt.

7.       APPLICATION OF OTHER PAYMENTS. If Borrower is or shall hereafter be
liable to Lender for any obligation, indebtedness, or liability other than the
Guaranteed Debt, and Lender should collect or receive any payments, funds, or
distributions which are not specifically required, by law or agreement, to be
applied to the Guaranteed Debt, then Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply
such payments, funds, or distributions to indebtedness of Borrower other than
the Guaranteed Debt.

8.       INSOLVENCY OF GUARANTOR. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall,
at the option of Lender, without notice, become immediately fixed and
enforceable for the full amount thereof, whether then due or not due, as though
all of the Guaranteed Debt had become past due if (i) Guarantor defaults in the
due performance of any term, covenant, or agreement contained in this Guaranty,
in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise in favor of Lender, or (ii) Guarantor
makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or a composition with
creditors, is unable or admits in writing its inability to pay, or generally
fails to pay, its debts as they mature, files a petition commencing a voluntary
case concerning Guarantor under any chapter of Title 11 of the United States
Code entitled "Bankruptcy"; or an involuntary case is commenced against
Guarantor under any such chapter and relief is ordered against it or the
petition is controverted but is not dismissed within 60 days after the
commencement of such case.

9.       BREACH BY GUARANTOR. If Guarantor breaches or fails to timely perform
any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by
Lender, pay Lender all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, court
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement
hereof or the preservation of Lender's rights hereunder. The covenant contained
in this PARAGRAPH 9 shall survive the payment of the Guaranteed Debt.

10.      ASSIGNS. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, and legal
representatives; provided, however, that Guarantor may not, without the prior
written consent of Lender, assign any of its rights, powers, duties, or
obligations hereunder.

11.      LOAN DOCUMENTS. This Guaranty is a Loan Document and is subject to the
applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement, all of which are incorporated into
this Guaranty by reference the same as if set forth in this Guaranty.

12.      TERMINATION. This Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further force
or effect on the Merger Date.

13.      MISCELLANEOUS. THIS GUARANTY REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE
NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. This

                                        3

Roberts Wireless Communications, LLC
1408 North Kingshighway, Suite 300
St. Louis, Missouri 63113
Attn: Michael V. Roberts

Re:   Loan Agreement

Dear Mr. Roberts:

     The undersigned, Roberts Wireless Communications, LLC ("BORROWER"), a
limited liability company duly organized, existing, and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Missouri, has entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "MERGER AGREEMENT") pursuant to which Borrower will merge
(the "PARENT MERGER") with and into Alamosa Holdings, Inc. ("SUPERHOLDINGS")
simultaneously with the merger (the "SUBSIDIARY MERGER," together with the
Parent Merger, the "MERGERS") of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Superholdings with
and into Alamosa PCS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ALAMOSA"). In
connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Borrower and Alamosa
Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Alamosa (in its
capacity as Manager thereunder, "MANAGER"), have entered into a Services
Agreement (herein so called) pursuant to which Manager shall manage the
operations of Borrower.

     Borrower has requested that Alamosa Operations, Inc. (in its capacity as
Lender hereunder, "LENDER"), extend credit to Borrower to enable Borrower to
borrow on and after the date of this Agreement a principal amount not to exceed
$20,000,000, only for the purpose of funding Borrower's working capital needs
from the date hereof through the consummation of the Mergers (the "MERGER
DATE"). Lender has advised Borrower that Lender is willing to advance such funds
to Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
letter agreement (this "AGREEMENT"). Lender and Borrower acknowledge and agree
that at the effective time of the Parent Merger, all amounts due to Lender by
Borrower may, at Lender's option, be deemed paid in full and, in such case, all
funds advanced by Lender to Borrower hereunder and all accrued interest thereon
(the "MERGER DATE LOAN BALANCE") shall be characterized for all purposes as
capital contributions by Lender to Borrower. If, on the Merger Date, Lender
elects not to characterize the Merger Date Loan Balance as a capital
contribution, such amount shall remain a debt obligation of Borrower, subject to
the terms and conditions of a subordination agreement in favor of, and in form
and substance acceptable to, the senior lender to Alamosa Holdings, Inc., (the
"SENIOR LENDER SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT"). In consideration for the above
premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, Borrower and
Lender agree as follows:

     1. Loan. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth,
Lender agrees to lend to Borrower, in multiple advances (each an "ADVANCE") to
be made on or before the Merger Date, the sum

<PAGE>

of up to $20,000,000 (the "LOAN"). As its initial Advance, Borrower shall assume
certain obligations of Michael V. Roberts and Steven C. Roberts (the "ROBERTS")
under the loan agreement dated June 30, 2000, among the Roberts (as borrowers)
and Lender, solely to the extent that the proceeds of that loan were used to
make capital contributions to Borrower.

     2. Manner of Borrowing.

     (a) Notice of Borrowing. (i) Before the first day of the Term of the
Services Agreement, Borrower, or (ii) on or after the first day of the Term of
the Services Agreement, Manager acting on behalf of Borrower under the Services
Agreement, shall (x) give Lender a request (a "NOTICE OF BORROWING") signed by
Manager and Borrower for an Advance on or before 10:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time)
one week before the requested Advance is to be funded, (y) specify in the notice
the aggregate amount, requested date, and the intended use of the Advance, and
(z) certify that the representations and warranties contained in each of the
Loan Documents (defined below) are true in all material respects as though made
on the date of the Notice of Borrowing.

     (b) Minimum Advances; Number of Advances. Each Advance hereunder shall be
in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, and no more than two Advances (and any single
Advance to be used solely to pay the Management Fee [as defined in the Services
Agreement]) each calendar month may be requested or funded.

     (c) Funding. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, if
Lender, in its sole discretion, approves the Notice of Borrowing (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld), not later than 2:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas
time, on the date specified, Lender shall make available to Borrower, at
Lender's offices in Lubbock, Texas, the amount of a requested Advance in
immediately available funds.

     3. Promissory Note, Interest, and Payments.

     (a) Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of
EXHIBIT A, duly executed by Borrower (together with any renewals and extensions
thereof, the "NOTE"), dated the date hereof, in the principal amount of
$20,000,000 and payable to the order of Lender.

     (b) Interest Rate. Before the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum, calculated from day to day and
computed from the date of advance until repaid, equal to the lesser of (i) the
maximum lawful rate under applicable law (the "MAXIMUM RATE") or (ii) the per
annum rate of interest established from time to time by Bank of America, N.A.,
as its prime rate, which rate may not be the lowest rate of interest charged by
Bank of America, N.A. to its customers (the "BASE RATE"). Any past-due principal
debt and all past-due interest accruing thereon shall bear interest from
maturity (stated or by acceleration) at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of
(i) the Maximum Rate or (ii) the Base Rate plus 5%.

     (c) Payments.

         (i) Interest. Interest on the unpaid principal of the Loan shall be due
     and payable on the earlier of (A) six months after the date of a written
     notice delivered by Lender to Borrower advising Borrower that the Merger
     Agreement is being terminated and that the Mergers will not be consummated,
     or (B) the effective date of any acceleration of any of the Obligation
     (defined below)

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (the "MATURITY DATE"); provided however that if, on the Merger Date, Lender
     elects not to characterize the Merger Date Loan Balance as a capital
     contribution, the Loan shall become a demand obligation, subject to the
     terms of the Subordination Agreements (defined below)

         (ii) Principal. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan,
     including all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable
     on the Maturity Date or, in the event the Loan continues after the Merger
     Date, upon demand.

         (iii) Assignment of Membership Interests. If (A) the Mergers are not
     consummated, (B) the Loan, all accrued unpaid interest thereon, and all
     other sums due from Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and the other
     Loan Documents (collectively, the "OBLIGATION") are not paid in full, and
     (C) the liens and security interests encumbering the collateral (the
     "SUBSTITUTE COLLATERAL") pledged by Lender or its affiliates to secure
     Borrower's obligations under the DLJ Loan Agreement (defined below) are not
     released on or before the Maturity Date, then the Roberts shall assign,
     transfer, and convey to Lender, without recourse, all or a portion of their
     respective membership interests in Borrower so that Lender shall own, on a
     fully diluted basis, 15% of the total membership interests in Borrower,
     free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, other than the pledge of and
     lien on such interests to secure the DLJ Loan. Such obligation of the
     Roberts (x) is joint and several, (y) is evidenced by the Agreement to
     Assign Membership Interests (the "ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT") in the form of
     EXHIBIT B, and (z) if the Mergers are not consummated, shall replace the
     obligation of Borrower to repay the Obligation and, when those membership
     interests are assigned to Lender, then Borrower shall have no further
     obligation under this Agreement.

         (iv) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right, from time to
     time before the Maturity Date or payment of the Loan is otherwise demanded,
     to prepay the Loan, in whole, without premium or penalty, upon the payment
     of all principal and accrued interest on the amount prepaid to and
     including the date of payment.

         (v) General Payment Terms. All payments on the Loan shall be made to
     Lender at its principal office in Lubbock, Texas in federal or other
     immediately available funds, and payments shall be applied first to accrued
     interest and then to principal. If any payment is scheduled to become due
     and payable on a day that is not a business day, that payment shall instead
     become due and payable on the immediately following business day, interest
     shall be payable with respect to the extension, and interest on the
     principal portion of the payment shall be payable at the then applicable
     rate during the extension. Interest on the Loan shall be calculated on the
     basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the
     first but excluding the last) elapsed, unless the Maximum Rate shall be in
     effect, in which case on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
     case may be.

operations, and transactions of Borrower as Lender may from time to time
reasonably request;

     (i) Borrower shall promptly pay all lawful claims, whether for labor,

deemed adequate by Lender have been established therefor;

     (j) Borrower shall maintain on its properties insurance of responsible and

     (a) Borrower fails to pay when due any principal of, or interest on, the

                                       8

<PAGE>

reorganization, rehabilitation, or receivership proceeding of any of them, and
such petition or complaint is not have dismissed within 30 days;

     (f) Borrower defaults in the payment of any material indebtedness of
Borrower or in the performance of any of Borrower's material obligations and

Agreement;

     (h) Borrower or any Roberts breaches the Confidentiality Agreement; or

     (j) a breach or an event of default by Borrower has occurred and is

     9. Remedies Upon Event of Default. If an Event of Default has occurred, has
continued for at least five business days, and is continuing, then Lender at its
option may (i) declare the principal of, and all interest then accrued on, the
Loan and any other liabilities of Borrower to Lender to be forthwith due and
payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable without
notice, presentment, demand, protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice
of acceleration, or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby
expressly waives, anything contained herein, in the Note, or in any other Loan
Document to the contrary notwithstanding, (ii) reduce any claim to judgment,
and/or (iii) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of
Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise provided
under or pursuant to any applicable law or agreement.

     10. Preemptive Right. Notwithstanding Borrower's LLC Agreement (as defined
in the Assignment Agreement), upon the assignment of the Membership Interests
(as defined in the Assignment Agreement) to Lender pursuant to SECTION
3(c)(iii), Borrower grants to Lender the preemptive right to purchase up to
Lender's Proportionate Interest (defined below) of any Membership Interests
that Borrower may, from time to time, propose to sell to any other person;
provided, however, that Lender shall not have any preemptive right with respect
to the distribution by, or exchange offer of, Borrower of its securities to all
of its members of any Membership Interests that is made pro rata, based on the
percentage of the outstanding Membership Interests owned by each Assignor (as
defined in the Assignment Agreement) and Lender. As used in this Agreement,
"PROPORTIONATE INTEREST" means the quotient of the Membership Interests owned
by Lender, divided by the total Membership Interests issued and outstanding.

     If Borrower proposes to sell securities in a transaction subject to the
preemptive right granted in this Section, then Borrower shall give Lender
written notice (a "PREEMPTIVE RIGHT NOTICE") of Borrower's intention, describing
the type of securities to be sold and the price and general terms upon which
Borrower proposes to sell such securities. If the price specified in the
Preemptive Right Notice is payable in whole or in part in property (including
without limitation the securities of any other issuer) other than cash, then
Lender shall pay cash in lieu of such property, at the fair market value of such
property determined in good faith by Assignors and Lender.

     Lender shall have 15 days from the date the Preemptive Right Notice is
given to notify Borrower whether Lender elects to purchase all or any portion of
Lender's Proportionate Interest of such securities for

                                       9
<PAGE>

the identical price and upon the same general terms specified in the Preemptive
Right Notice. Such notice (the "ELECTION NOTICE") shall be in writing and shall
state the quantity of such securities to be so purchased. If Lender does not
timely deliver an Election Notice, it shall be deemed to have waived its
preemptive rights with respect to such sale, provided that Borrower consummates
the sale within 180 days after the expiration of such 15 day period at a price
equal to or greater than the price specified in the Preemptive Right Notice
given to Lender by Borrower under this Section.

     11. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part
of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided
by law. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the
right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such
notice or demand.

     (b) Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted to
be given by any of the Loan Documents must be given in writing and must be
personally delivered, telecopied (with an original notice delivered by overnight
courier service), or mailed by prepaid certified or registered mail to the party
to whom such notice or communication is directed at the address of such party
set forth on the signature page to this Agreement. Any such notice or other
communication shall be deemed to have been given on the day it is received as
aforesaid. Any party may change its address for purposes of this Agreement by
giving notice of such change to all other parties pursuant to this SECTION
11(b).

     (c) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are being
executed and delivered, and are intended to be performed in, Lubbock County, in
the State of Texas, and the substantive laws of Texas shall govern the validity,
construction, enforcement, and interpretation of this Agreement and all other
Loan Documents, except to the extent: (i) the federal laws governing national
banks expressly supersede and have contrary application; or (ii) federal laws
governing maximum interest rates shall provide for rates of interest higher than
those permitted under the laws of the State of Texas.

     (d) Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during
the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by
its severance from this Agreement.

     (e) Maximum Interest Rate. Regardless of any provisions contained in this
Agreement, the Note, or in any of other Loan Documents, Lender shall never be
deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as
interest on the Note, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest
permitted to be charged by applicable law, and, if Lender ever receives,
collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be
excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and
treated hereunder as such, and, if the principal balance of the Note is paid in
full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining
whether or not the interest paid or payable under

                                       10
<PAGE>

any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower, and Lender
shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize
any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as
interest payments hereunder) as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as
interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (iii)
spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of
the Note so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term.

     (f) Subordination. Lender acknowledges that the Obligation of Borrower
under this Agreement shall be subordinated in right of payment to the DLJ Loan
Agreement as set forth in the Note (the "DLJ SUBORDINATION," together with the
Senior Lender Subordination Agreement, the "SUBORDINATION AGREEMENTS"). The
Subordination Agreements shall in no way affect Lender's rights under the
Assignment Agreement.

     (g) Entirety and Amendments. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement
between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if
any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents may be amended only by an instrument in writing
executed by the party, or an authorized officer of the party, against whom such
amendment is sought to be enforced.

     (h) Parties Bound. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal
representatives; provided, however, that neither party may, without the prior
written consent of the other party, assign any of its rights, powers, duties, or
obligations hereunder.

     (i) Expenses. Borrower will promptly pay all reasonable costs, fees, and
expenses paid or incurred by Lender incident to this Agreement (including the
fees and expenses of counsel to Lender in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, and execution of this Agreement and any amendments hereto) or
incident to the collection of the Loan.

     (j) Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and
shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

     (k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.

     THIS WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES.

     THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

$20,000,000                                                        JULY 31, 2000

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ROBERTS WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS,
LLC ("BORROWER"), hereby promises to pay to the order of Alamosa Operations,
Inc. ("LENDER"), at Lender's principal office in Lubbock, Texas, on the Maturity
Date or, following the Merger Date, ON DEMAND, the lesser of (a) $20,000,000 and
(b) the aggregate principal disbursed by Lender to Borrower and outstanding and
unpaid on such date (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon).

         This Note has been executed and delivered under, and is subject to the
terms of, the Loan Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2000 (as amended, modified,
supplemented, or restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among
Borrower and Lender, and is the "Note" referred to therein. Unless defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Loan Agreement
have the meaning given to such terms in the Loan Agreement. Reference is made to
the Loan Agreement for provisions affecting this Note regarding applicable
interest rates, principal and interest payment dates, final maturity,
prepayments, acceleration of maturity, exercise of rights, subordination to
certain senior indebtedness, payment of attorneys' fees, court costs, and other
costs of collection, certain waivers by Borrower and others now or hereafter
obligated for payment of any sums due hereunder and security for the payment
hereof. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, reference is made
to SECTION 11(E) of the Loan Agreement for usury savings provisions.

         Borrower authorizes Lender and the holder of this Note to endorse on
the Schedule attached to this Note or any continuation thereof or to record in
their internal records all Advances made to Borrower hereunder and all payments
made on account of the principal thereof, which endorsements or recordings shall
be prima facie evidence as to the outstanding principal amount of this Note;
provided, however, any failure by Lender or the holder of this Note to make any
such endorsement or recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligations of Borrower under the Loan Agreement, this Note, or any other Loan
Document.

         THIS NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN ENTERED INTO PURSUANT
TO THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION,
ENFORCEMENT, AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS NOTE.

SUBORDINATION: This Note evidences subordinated indebtedness, all in accordance
with, and subject to, the following terms and provisions:

         1. This Note and all indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be
"subordinate and junior in right of payment" to all indebtedness, obligations
and liabilities of Borrower to the lenders arising out of or in connection with
the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 8, 1999 (the "EXISTING CREDIT
AGREEMENT"), among Borrower, the financial institutions from time to time
parties thereto (collectively, the "EXISTING LENDERS"), State Street Bank and
Trust Company, as the Collateral Agent, and Lucent Technologies Inc., as the
Administrative Agent, and each of the Existing Loan Documents, in each case as
the same may be

<PAGE>

modified, renewed, extended, refunded, refinanced, replaced (through new loan or
security agreements or otherwise), increased, or decreased from time to time,
including, without limitation, as to all indebtedness, obligations, and
liabilities described in the foregoing, all principal, interest (including any
interest accruing subsequent to the date of, or which would accrue but for, a
filing or a petition or other action commencing bankruptcy, insolvency, or
similar proceedings with respect to Borrower), and commitment, agency, facility,
structuring, restructuring, and other fees payable in connection therewith,
together with any and all other expenses, indemnities, or amounts payable in
connection therewith, including all expenses incurred by the Existing Lenders in
collecting all or any of the above or enforcing any rights under the Existing
Credit Agreement, the Existing Loan Documents, or any other agreement
contemplated thereby (said indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of
Borrower referred to above in this paragraph collectively, the "SENIOR
INDEBTEDNESS").

         2. As used in this Note the term "subordinate and junior in right of
payment" means that:

         (a) No part of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall
have any claim to the assets of Borrower on a parity with or prior to the claim
of the Senior Indebtedness. Until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in
cash and satisfied and the Commitments terminated, the holder of this Note will
not take, demand, or receive (from any source whatsoever), and Borrower will not
make, give, or permit, directly or indirectly, by set-off, redemption, purchase,
or in any other manner, any payment, distribution, or security for the whole or
any part of the principal of or interest on this Note; provided, however, that
subject to the other terms and conditions of this Note, so long as no Default or
Event of Default (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall have
occurred and be continuing, or would be in existence immediately after giving
effect to any such payment, distribution, or security, (i) Borrower may pay
interest on the indebtedness evidenced hereby when and as, and only when and as,
the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof in effect on the date hereof, and (ii) after the Commitment Termination
Date (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and the payment in full of
all Obligations under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement,
Borrower may voluntarily prepay, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal
amount under this Note and any or all accrued but unpaid interest thereon; and
provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Note, nothing shall prevent Lender from exercising any or all of its rights
and remedies under the Assignment Agreement.

         (b) In the event of any distribution, division, or application, partial
or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all
or any part of the property, assets, or business of Borrower, or the proceeds
thereof, to any creditor or creditors of Borrower or upon any indebtedness of
Borrower by reason of any liquidation, dissolution, or other winding up of
Borrower or its business or by reason of any sale, receivership, insolvency, or
bankruptcy proceedings or assignment for the benefit of creditors or any
proceeding by or against Borrower for any relief under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, or insolvency law or laws, federal or state, or any law, federal
or state, relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness,
reorganization, composition, or extension, or in the event of the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Default or Event of Default (as defined in the
Existing Credit Agreement), then and in any such event, any payment or
distribution of any kind or character (except pursuant to the Assignment
Agreement), whether in cash, property, or securities which, but for the
subordination provisions of this Note, would otherwise be payable or deliverable
upon or in respect of this Note to or for the account or on behalf of Lender,
shall instead be paid over or delivered so long as the Existing Credit Agreement
is in effect, any commitments are in effect or any notes or other liabilities
under the Existing Credit Agreement

                                        2

<PAGE>

are outstanding, to the Collateral Agent, for application on account of the
Senior Indebtedness (or, in the case of non-cash property, held as collateral
therefor), and Lender shall not receive any such payment or distribution or any
benefit therefrom (except pursuant to the Assignment Agreement) unless and until
the Senior Indebtedness shall have been fully paid in cash and satisfied.

         3. By virtue of accepting this Note and the benefits hereof, Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers (without imposing any obligation on),
so long as any obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other
Existing Loan Document are outstanding, or any commitments shall be in effect,
the Collateral Agent, under the circumstances set forth in PARAGRAPH 2(B), to
demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution
described therein and give acquittance therefor, to file claims and proofs of
claims in any statutory or non-statutory proceeding, to vote the full amount of
this Note in its sole discretion in connection with any resolution, arrangement,
plan of reorganization, compromise, settlement, or extension and to take all
such other action (including, without limitation, the right to participate in
any composition of creditors and the right to vote this Note at creditor's
meetings for the election of trustees, acceptances of plans, and otherwise), in
the name of the holders of Senior Indebtedness ("SENIOR HOLDERS"), or in the
name of Lender or otherwise, as such representative may deem necessary or
advisable for the enforcement of the subordination provisions of this Note.
Lender hereby agrees, under the circumstances set forth in PARAGRAPH 2(B), duly
and promptly to take such action as may be requested at any time and from time
to time by, so long as any obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement or
any other Existing Loan Document are outstanding or any Commitments shall be in
effect, the Collateral Agent, to collect this Note for the account of the Senior
Holders and to file appropriate proofs of claim in respect thereof, to deliver
this Note and/or copies of the duly notated grid thereto so long as any
obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Existing Loan
Document are outstanding or any commitments are in effect, the Collateral Agent,
for the account of the Senior Holders on demand therefor, and to execute and
deliver such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as may be
requested by, so long as any obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement or
any other Existing Loan Document are outstanding, or any commitments are in
effect, the Collateral Agent, in order to enable the Senior Holders to enforce
any and all claims upon or in respect of this Note and to collect and receive
any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any
time upon or in respect of this Note.

         4. If all the Senior Indebtedness shall have become or be declared to
be immediately due and payable, this Note shall become immediately due and
payable, notwithstanding any inconsistent terms hereof. By virtue of accepting
this Note and the benefits hereof, it is agreed that Lender shall not, without
the prior written consent of, so long as any obligations under the Existing
Credit Agreement or any other Existing Loan Document are outstanding, or any
commitments are in effect, the Collateral Agent, have any right to accelerate
the maturity of, or institute any proceedings to enforce, any indebtedness
evidenced by this Note.

         5. Should any payment or distribution or security, or the proceeds of
any thereof, be collected or received by or on behalf of Lender in respect of
this Note (except pursuant to the Assignment Agreement), and such collection or
receipt is not expressly permitted hereunder prior to the payment in full in
cash of the Senior Indebtedness, by virtue of accepting this Note and the
benefits hereof, it is agreed that Lender will forthwith deliver or cause to be
delivered the same to, so long as any obligations under the Existing Credit
Agreement or any other Existing Loan Document are outstanding or any commitments
are in effect, the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Senior Holders in
precisely the form received (except for the

                                        3

<PAGE>

endorsement or the assignment of Lender where necessary) and, until so
delivered, the same shall be held in trust by Lender as the property of the
Senior Holders.

         6. Subject to (and not until) the payment in full in cash of all the
Senior Indebtedness, Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior
Holders to receive payments or distributions of assets of Borrower made on the
Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on this Note shall be
paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to or for the benefit of the Senior Holders of any cash, property,
or securities to which Lender would be entitled except for these provisions
shall, as between Borrower, its creditors other than the Senior Holders and
Lender, be deemed to be a payment by Borrower to or on account of Senior
Indebtedness, it being understood that these provisions are and are intended
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Lender, on the one
hand, and the Senior Holders and their representatives on the other hand.

         7. By virtue of accepting this Note and the benefits hereof, Lender
hereby waives any and all notice of renewal, extension, or accrual of any of the
Senior Indebtedness, present or future, and agrees and consents that without
notice to or assent by Lender:

         (a) the obligations and liabilities of Borrower or any other party or
parties for or upon the Senior Indebtedness may, from time to time, in whole or
in part, be renewed, extended, refunded, modified, amended, accelerated,
compromised, supplemented, terminated, increased, decreased, sold, exchanged,
waived, or released;

         (b) the Senior Holders and their representatives may exercise or
refrain from exercising any right, remedy, or power granted by any document
creating, evidencing, or otherwise related to the Senior Indebtedness or at law,
in equity, or otherwise, with respect to the Senior Indebtedness or in
connection with any collateral security or lien (legal or equitable) held,
given, or intended to be given therefor (including, without limitation, the
right to perfect any lien or security interest created in connection therewith);

         (c) any and all collateral security and/or liens (legal or equitable)
at any time, present or future, held, given, or intended to be given for the
Senior Indebtedness, and any rights or remedies of the Senior Holders and their
representatives in respect thereof, may, from time to time, in whole or in part,
be exchanged, sold, surrendered, released, modified, perfected, unperfected,
waived, or extended by the Senior Holders and their representatives; and

         (d) any balance or balances of funds with any Senior Holder at any time
standing to the credit of Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Senior
Indebtedness may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be surrendered or
released;

all as the Senior Holders, their representatives or any of them may deem
advisable and all without impairing, abridging, diminishing, releasing, or
affecting the subordination to the Senior Indebtedness provided for herein.

         8. Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Holders have relied
upon and will continue to rely upon the subordination provided for herein and
hereby waives notice of or proof of reliance hereon and protest, demand for
payment, and notice of default.

                                        4

<PAGE>

         9. No present or future Senior Holder shall be prejudiced in its right
to enforce the subordination contained herein in accordance with the terms
hereof by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower.

         10. The subordination provisions contained herein are solely for the
benefit of the Senior Holders from time to time of Senior Indebtedness and their
representatives, assignees, and beneficiaries and may not be rescinded,
canceled, amended, or modified in any way, and this Note may not be assigned,
sold, pledged as security, or otherwise transferred nor may any subordination
provision of this Note be waived or changed, nor may the indebtedness evidenced
hereby be canceled, compromised, or discharged in whole or in part, in each
case, without the prior written consent thereto of, so long as any obligations
under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Existing Loan Document are
outstanding, or any commitments are in effect, the Collateral Agent acting upon
the direction of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement).

         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
subordination provisions in this Note shall in no way limit or otherwise affect
Lender's rights and remedies under the Assignment Agreement.

Assignor has good and indefeasible title to the Membership Interests free and
clear of any Lien, except for the security interests as set forth on SCHEDULE 3,

                                        2

<PAGE>

such assignment and transfer, and any subsequent realization upon the Membership
Interests pursuant hereto (whether acquired by Lender or a third party), are not
contrary to or in conflict with the LLC Agreement or any other agreement;

         3.3 No financing statement or other instrument similar in effect
covering all or any part of the Membership Interests is on file in any recording
office, except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3;

         3.4 This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each
Assignor and is the legal and binding obligation of such Assignor enforceable in
accordance with its terms;

         3.5 Lender's ownership of any portion of the Membership Interests will

the Company;

         3.6 Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the
consummation of any of the transactions hereby contemplated, nor compliance with
the terms and provisions of this Agreement, will contravene or materially
conflict with (a) any material provision of law, statute, or regulation to which
any Assignor or the Company is subject, or (b) any judgment, license, order, or
permit applicable to any Assignor or the Company. No consent, approval,
authorization, or order of any governmental authority, member, or third party is
required that has not been received or taken (x) for the grant, assignment,
transfer, and conveyance by Assignors of the Membership Interests, (y) for the
execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement by Assignors, or (z)
except for such notices as are required by the Loan Agreement, for the exercise
by Lender of its rights and remedies hereunder;

         3.7 Each Assignor's address is set forth on the signature page to this
Agreement; and

         3.8 Each Assignor has fully performed each and every one of his
obligations and duties under the LLC Agreement on or prior to the date due; no
Assignor has received any notice of any default in the performance of his
obligations under the LLC Agreement or of any situation which could give rise to
such an event of default thereunder.

4.       ASSIGNOR'S COVENANTS. Each Assignor covenants and agrees that until the
Obligation is paid and performed in full:

         4.1 No Assignor will cause, permit, or consent to (i) any amendment or
modification to the LLC Agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement, or
(ii) any issuance, transfer, or other change in the ownership of the membership
interests in the Company;

         4.2 Each Assignor will pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes,
assessments, forced contributions, governmental charges, fines, penalties, and
any other lawful claims, of every description, payable by such Assignor with
respect to (or which, if not paid, could result in an encumbrance upon) any of
the Membership Interests, except as otherwise permitted by the terms of the Loan
Agreement. In the event that Assignor should, for any reason, fail to pay and
discharge promptly any taxes, assessments, forced contributions, governmental
charges, fines, or penalties when due (subject to the provisions of the Loan
Agreement), then Lender shall be authorized, but shall not be obligated, to pay
the same, with full

                                        3

<PAGE>

subrogation to all rights of any Person by reason of such payment, and the
amounts so paid, together with interest thereon as provided herein, shall be
added to the Obligation;

         4.3 No Assignor will sell, transfer, mortgage, or otherwise encumber
any Membership Interests in any manner without first obtaining the written
consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender's sole and absolute
discretion. Any written consent to any such sale, mortgage, transfer, or
encumbrance shall not be construed to be a waiver of this provision in respect
of any subsequent proposed sale, mortgage, transfer, or encumbrance;

         4.4 Each Assignor will, at his expense and in such manner and form as
Lender may from time to time reasonably require, execute, deliver, file, and
record any specific assignment or other instruments, financing statements,
certificates, or papers, and take any other action that may be necessary or
desirable, or that Lender may from time to time reasonably request, in order to
preserve, protect, and enforce this Agreement and to enable Lender to exercise
and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to any of the Membership
Interests. In the event, for any reason, that the law of any jurisdiction other
than the State of Texas becomes or is applicable to the Membership Interests, or
any part thereof, each Assignor agrees to execute and deliver all such
instruments and to do all such other things that may be necessary or appropriate
to preserve, protect, and enforce this Agreement under the law of such other
jurisdiction, to at least the same extent that this Agreement would be protected
under the Code;

         4.5 If any Assignor receives, by virtue of being or having been an
owner of any of the Membership Interests, any notes, other instruments, options,
cash distributions, or any other distribution, then such Assignor shall receive
the same in trust for the benefit of Lender, shall immediately notify Lender of
such receipt, and shall immediately take all such actions and execute all such
documents as Lender deems necessary or appropriate;

         4.6 Each Assignor will notify Lender in writing prior to any change of
such Assignor's address;

         4.7 Each Assignor shall cause to be obtained any and all waivers and
consents necessary to make effective the assignment, transfer, and conveyance
contained in SECTION 2.1, including, without limitation, all necessary waivers
and consents from the other members of the Company;

         4.8 Each Assignor shall perform fully all obligations imposed upon it
by any agreements or instruments concerning all or any part of the Membership
Interests, including, without limitation, the LLC Agreement, and shall maintain
in full force and effect all such agreements and instruments, and shall not
amend or modify, or consent to the amendment or modification of such agreements
or instruments, without the prior written consent of Lender; and

         4.9 Each Assignor shall promptly notify Lender of any material adverse
change in any material fact or material circumstance warranted or represented by
such Assignor in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any other
writing furnished by such Assignor to Lender in connection with the Membership
Interests or the Obligation, and shall promptly notify Lender of any claim,
action, or proceeding affecting title to the Membership Interests, or any part
thereof, and, at the request of Lender, shall appear and defend, at such
Assignor's expense, any such action or proceeding.

         After the Effective Date, if Assignors, individually or together
("PROPOSING ASSIGNORS"), negotiate and propose a Sale Transaction (defined
below), then Lender shall have the option upon notice as provided below to the
Proposing Assignors to participate in the Sale Transaction on the same terms as
the Proposing Assignors. If Lender fails to give a notice to participate as
provided below, then Lender shall, upon notice from the Proposing Assignors as
provided below participate in the Sale Transaction on the same terms and
conditions as the Proposing Assignors.

         Any Proposing Assignor shall deliver a notice (the "SALE NOTICE") to
Lender setting forth the terms of the proposed Sale Transaction at least 90 days
prior to the consummation of the proposed Sale Transaction. Lender may
participate in the Sale Transaction by delivering a notice to the Proposing
Assignor within 30 days after delivery of the Sale Notice. Lender shall be
required to participate in the sale if the Proposing Assignor gives notice to
Lender within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day period described in the
immediately preceding sentence.

         As used in this Section, "SALE TRANSACTION" means a sale of Membership
Interests held by Proposing Assignors that represent a majority of all the then
outstanding membership interests in the Company.

6. INSPECTION RIGHTS. Lender, at any time, shall, upon reasonable advance
notice, have the right, together with such accountants and other agents or
representatives as it may from time to time designate, to visit and inspect the
Company's properties, assets, books, records, and documents and to discuss the
Company's affairs, finances, and accounts with Assignor's and the Company's
representatives, officers, or directors, during all business hours as Lender may
designate, and to make and take away copies of the Company's records at
Assignors' expense. Each Assignor shall furnish to Lender any information
reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the Membership Interests. Each
Assignor will maintain complete and accurate books and records regarding the
Membership Interests.

7.       MISCELLANEOUS

         7.1 LOAN DOCUMENT. This Agreement is a Loan Document executed pursuant
to the Loan Agreement and shall (unless otherwise expressly indicated herein) be
construed, administered, and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions
thereof.

         7.2 AMENDMENTS. No change, amendment, modification, cancellation, or
discharge of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless consented to
in writing by the party or parties against whom enforcement thereof is sought
(subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement).

         7.3 NOTICES. Any notices or other communications required or permitted
to be given by this Agreement or any other documents and instruments referred to
herein must be given in accordance with SECTION 11(B) of the Loan Agreement to

         7.5 LIMITATION. Regardless of any provisions contained in this
Agreement, the Loan Agreement, or any note, notes, or other evidences of the
Obligation, or other instruments executed or delivered in connection therewith,
Lender shall not be entitled to receive, collect, or apply, as interest on the
Obligation, any amount in excess of the highest lawful rate and, in the event
that Lender ever receives, collects, or applies, as interest, any such excess,
such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction
of the unpaid principal balance of the Obligation, and if the principal balance
of the Obligation is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be forthwith paid
to Assignor. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under
any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, each Assignor and
Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a)
characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather
than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and
(c) "spread" the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of the Loan
Agreement so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of the
Loan Agreement.

         7.6 ASSIGNMENT OF LENDER'S RIGHTS. Lender shall have the right to
assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any subsequent
holder or holders of the Obligation.

         7.7 PARTIES IN INTEREST. As and when used herein, the term "Assignor"
shall mean and include each Assignor herein named and such Assignor's respective
successors and permitted assigns, and the term "Lender" shall mean and include
Lender herein named and its successors and assigns, and all covenants and
agreements herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
Assignor and Lender and their respective assigns, provided that Assignor shall
have no right to assign his rights hereunder to any other Person.

         7.8 OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. All rights and remedies of Lender hereunder,
and all obligations of Assignor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of:

         (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or any
other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the
foregoing;

         (b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Obligation, or any other amendment or waiver of
or any consent to any departure from the Loan Agreement or any other Loan
Document; or

         (c) any other circumstance (other than payment in full and satisfaction
of the Obligation) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, Assignor.

         7.9 APPLICABLE LAWS. THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL ISSUES AND CLAIMS ARISING
IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THE OBLIGATION, INCLUDING BUT WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ALL CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHER CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS SHALL
BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS
(WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES) AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other
provisions of this Agreement shall remain unaffected.
