conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit
Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, or any other Loan Document, all of
which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force

consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the
terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit
Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, or any other Loan Document in similar
or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only

Parties of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
and other action and do not and will not require any registration with, consent
or approval of, notice to or action by, any person (including any governmental
agency) in order to be effective and enforceable. The Credit Agreement as
amended by this Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
each of the Alamosa Parties, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law.

                  (c) All representations and warranties of the Alamosa Parties
contained in Article III of the Credit Agreement (other than representations or
warranties expressly made only on and as of the Restatement Effective Date) are
true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.

                  6. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective (the
"Amendment Effective Date") only upon satisfaction of the following conditions
prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, on August 20, 2001:

                  (i) the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof duly
         executed and delivered by the Alamosa Parties and the Required Lenders;

                  (ii) the Borrower shall have paid an amendment fee to each
         Lender that has delivered an executed counterpart of this Amendment to
         the Agent by the Amendment Effective Date, equal to .125% of the
         aggregate amount (existing immediately prior to the effectiveness of
         the Fourth Amendment and Waiver dated as of August 6, 2001 to the
         Credit Agreement (the "Fourth Amendment")) of such Lender's Term Loans,
         Revolving Exposure and unutilized Commitments (such payment to be made
         by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent for the
         respective accounts of such Lenders); and

                  (iii) the Fourth Amendment shall have become effective in
         accordance with its terms.

                  7. Expenses. The Alamosa Parties, jointly and severally, agree
to reimburse the Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this
Amendment, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath,

                  8. GOVERNING LAW; COUNTERPARTS. (A) THIS AMENDMENT AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  (b) This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute a single instrument. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission
shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
