covenants of the Company and its Subsidiaries contained in the Credit Agreement
are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes as if copied herein in
full.  The Borrowers hereby restate and

and negative covenants.  Except to the
extent its provisions are specifically amended, modified or superseded by this
Amendment, the Credit Agreement, as amended, and all terms and provisions
thereof shall remain in full force and effect, and the same in all respects are
confirmed and approved by the Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders.

The amendment to the Credit Agreement contained in Section 1

conditions set forth in this Section 3.

 

3

 

3.1                               Execution and Delivery.  The Borrowers shall have executed and
delivered this Amendment, and other required documents, all in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent.

 

3.2                               Representations
and Warranties.  The representations
and warranties of the Borrowers under this Amendment are true and correct in
all material respects as of such date, as if then made (except to the extent
that such representations and warranties related solely to an earlier date).

 

3.3                               TXOK Revolving Facility Amendment.  The Administrative Agent shall have received
a fully executed amendment of the TXOK Revolving Facility amending such
facility to permit TXOK and its Material Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in
the TXOK Revolving Facility) to guarantee the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations
of the Borrowers under the Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to a
Subsidiary Guaranty and the Liens securing such indebtedness, liabilities and
obligations including the Subsidiary Guaranty.

 

3.4                               TXOK
Guaranty.  The Administrative Agent
shall have received a fully executed Subsidiary Guaranty in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C from TXOK and each of its Material Domestic
Subsidiaries (as defined in the TXOK Revolving Facility).

 

3.5                               No Event of Default.  No Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing nor shall any event have occurred or failed to occur which, with
the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of
Default.

 

3.6                               Other Documents.  The Agent shall have received such other
instruments and documents incidental and appropriate to the transaction
provided for herein as the Agent or its counsel may reasonably request, and all
such documents shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

 

3.7                               Legal Matters Satisfactory.  All legal matters incident to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be reasonably
satisfactory to special counsel for the Agent retained at the expense of the
Borrowers.

 

SECTION 4.                            Miscellaneous.

 

4.1                               Additional Representations and Warranties.  The
Borrowers hereby represent and warrant that all factual information, if any,
heretofore and contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers to
Agent for purposes of or in connection with this Amendment does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to keep the statements contained herein or therein from being
misleading.  Each of the foregoing
representations and warranties shall constitute a representation and warranty
of the Borrowers made under the Credit Agreement, and it shall be an Event of
Default if any such representation and warranty shall prove to have been
incorrect or false in any material respect at the time given.  Each of the representations and warranties
made under the Credit Agreement (including those made herein) shall survive and
not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Amendment or any
investigation by Agent or the Lenders.

 

4

 

4.2                               Indemnification.  The
Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and the Lenders and their
respective officers, employees, agents, attorneys and representatives
(singularly, an “Indemnified Party”, and collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense
(including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to Agent
or the Lenders, including all local counsel hired by such counsel) (“Claim”)
incurred by Agent or the Lenders in investigating or preparing for, defending
against, or providing evidence, producing documents or taking any other action
in respect of any commenced or threatened litigation, administrative proceeding
or investigation under any federal securities law, federal or state environmental
law, or any other statute of any jurisdiction, or any regulation, or at common
law or otherwise, which is alleged to arise out of or is based upon any acts,
practices or omissions or alleged acts, practices or omissions of the Borrowers
or their agents or arises in connection with the duties, obligations or
performance of the Indemnified Parties in negotiating, preparing, executing,
accepting, keeping, completing, countersigning, issuing, selling, delivering,
releasing, assigning, handling, certifying, processing or receiving or taking
any other action with respect to the Loan Documents and all documents, items
and materials contemplated thereby even if any of the foregoing arises out of
an Indemnified Party’s ordinary negligence. 
The indemnity set forth herein shall be in addition to any other
obligations or liabilities of the Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder or at
common law or otherwise, and shall survive any termination of this Amendment,
the expiration of the Loan and the payment of all indebtedness of the Borrowers
to the Lenders hereunder and under the Notes, provided that the Borrowers shall
not have any obligation under this section to the Lenders with respect to
any of the foregoing arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Lenders.  If any Claim is asserted
against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall endeavor to notify
the Borrowers of such Claim (but failure to do so shall not affect the
indemnification herein made except to the extent of the actual harm caused by
such failure).  The Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ, at the Borrowers’ expense, counsel of the
Indemnified Parties’ choosing and to control the defense of the Claim.  The Borrowers may at their own expense also
participate in the defense of any Claim. 
Each Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel in connection with
any Claim to the extent such Indemnified Party believes it reasonably prudent
to protect such Indemnified Party.  The parties intend for the provisions of this Section to
apply to and protect each Indemnified Party from the consequences of strict
liability imposed or threatened to be imposed on any Indemnified Party as well
as from the consequences of its own negligence, whether or not that negligence
is the sole, contributing, or concurring cause of any Claim, but not from any
portion of such Claim arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of any Indemnified Party.

 

4.3                               Counterparts. 
This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts
and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may
be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single
counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the
same document.  However, this Amendment
shall bind no party until the Borrowers, Agent and Lenders (or at least the
required percentage thereof) have executed a counterpart.  Facsimiles shall be effective as originals.

 

5

 

4.4                               WRITTEN CREDIT AGREEMENT.  THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED, REPRESENTS
THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN AND AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN AND AMONG THE PARTIES.

 

4.5                               No
Impairment.  The Borrowers
acknowledge and agree that the renewal, extension and amendment of the Credit
Agreement shall not be considered a novation of account or new contract but
that all existing rights, titles, powers, and estates in favor of the Agent and
the Lenders constitute valid and existing obligations in favor of Agent and the
Lenders.  The Borrowers confirm and agree
that (a) neither the execution of this Amendment nor any other Loan
Document nor the consummation of the transactions described herein and therein
shall in any way effect, impair or limit the covenants, liabilities,
obligations and duties of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents and (b) the
obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents continue in full force
and effect.

GUARANTEE, dated as of
February 14, 2006, made by each of the signatories hereto (the “Guarantors”),
in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such
capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the banks and other financial
institutions or entities (the “Lenders”) from time to time parties to
the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2005 (as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”),
among TXOK Acquisition, Inc. (the “Borrower”), certain Subsidiaries
of Borrower as Guarantors, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

 

WI T  N
E  S  S  E  T  H:

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the
Credit Agreement, the Lenders have severally agreed to make extensions of
credit to the Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
therein;

 

WHEREAS, EXCO
Resources, Inc. owns equity interests in the Borrower and the Guarantors
will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the
extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, it is a condition
precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make their respective extensions
of credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantors shall
have agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement to the Administrative Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises each Guarantor hereby agrees with the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as follows:

 

SECTION 1.                            DEFINED
TERMS

 

1.1                               Definitions.

 

(a)                                  Unless otherwise
defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall
have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)                                 The following terms
shall have the following meanings:

 

“Agreement”:  this Guarantee, as the same may be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

 

“Guarantee”:  the guarantee contained in Section 2.

 

“Obligations”:  means all obligations of
every nature of the Borrower from time to time owing to the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Counterparties or any of them under any Loan
Document or Swap Agreement, whether for principal, interest, funding
indemnification amounts, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise.

 

1.2                               Other
Definitional Provisions.(a)                    The
words “hereof,” “herein”, “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import
when used in this Agreement shall refer to this

 

1

 

Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Agreement, and Section and
Schedule references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

 

(b)                                 The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the
singular and plural forms of such terms.

 

SECTION 2.                            GUARANTEE

 

2.1                               Guarantee
of Payment.  Each Guarantor
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders, the punctual payment of all Obligations now or which
may in the future be owing by the Borrower under the Loan Documents (the
“Guaranteed Liabilities”).  This
Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection only.  The Administrative Agent shall not be
required to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the Borrower
or any other Person or any collateral. 
The Guaranteed Liabilities include interest accruing after the
commencement of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of
any jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the Credit Agreement or Swap
Agreement, as the case may be, regardless of whether such interest is an
allowed claim.  Each Guarantor agrees
that, as between the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, the Guaranteed
Liabilities may be declared to be due and payable for the purposes of this
Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may
prevent, delay or vitiate any declaration as regards the Borrower or any other
Guarantor and that in the event of a declaration or attempted declaration, the
Guaranteed Liabilities shall immediately become due and payable by each
Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

 

2.2                               Guarantee Absolute.  Each
Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Liabilities shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is absolute and unconditional
irrespective of:  (a) any change in
the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of
the Loan Documents or Swap Agreements or the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any of the terms
of any Loan Document or Swap Agreement or Guaranteed Liability, including any
increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon; (b) any release or
amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty or
support document, or any
exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, for all or any of the
Loan Documents, Swap Agreements or Guaranteed Liabilities; (c) any present
or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in
fact) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend, restructure or
otherwise affect any term of any Loan Document, Swap Agreement or Guaranteed
Liability; (d) without being limited by the foregoing, any lack of validity
or enforceability of any Loan Document, Swap Agreement or Guaranteed Liability;
and (e) any other setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Loan
Documents, the Swap Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby which
might constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of,
the Borrower or a Guarantor.

 

2.3                               Guarantee Irrevocable.  This
Guarantee is a continuing guaranty of the payment of all Guaranteed Liabilities
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and shall remain in full force
and effect until payment in full of all Guaranteed Liabilities and other
amounts payable hereunder and until this Agreement is no longer in effect or,
if earlier, when the Guarantor has given

 

2

 

the Administrative Agent written notice that this Guarantee has been
revoked; provided that any notice under this Section shall not release the
revoking Guarantor from any Guaranteed Liability, absolute or contingent,
existing prior to the Administrative Agent’s actual receipt of the notice at
its branches or departments responsible for this Agreement and reasonable
opportunity to act upon such notice.

 

2.4                               Reinstatement.  This
Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities is rescinded or
must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, or any Guarantor, or
otherwise, all as though the payment had not been made.

 

2.5                               Subrogation.  No Guarantor shall exercise
any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made
under this Guarantee or otherwise, until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have
been paid in full and this Agreement is no longer in effect.  If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on
account of subrogation rights under this Guarantee at any time when all the
Guaranteed Liabilities have not been paid in full, the amount shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall be promptly paid to the
Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Liabilities,
whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.  If any
Guarantor makes payment to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of all or
any part of the Guaranteed Liabilities and all the Guaranteed Liabilities are
paid in full and this Agreement is no longer in effect, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall, at such Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver
to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without
representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation
to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Liabilities resulting from
the payment.

 

2.6                               Subordination. 
Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
under any other agreement, any liabilities owed by the Borrower to any
Guarantor in connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation
by any Guarantor to or for the account of the Borrower, including but not
limited to interest accruing at the agreed contract rate after the commencement
of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the
Guaranteed Liabilities, and such liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor,
if the Administrative Agent so requests, shall be collected, enforced and
received by any Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and shall be
paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities
but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor
under the other provisions of this Guarantee.

 

2.7                               Payments Generally.  All
payments by the Guarantors hereunder shall be made in Dollars in immediately
available funds.

 

2.8                               Setoff.  Each Guarantor agrees that, in
addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or
counterclaim the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to offset
balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it
for the account of any Guarantor at any office of the Administrative Agent or
such Lender, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any amount payable by
such Guarantor under this Guarantee which is not paid when due

 

3

 

(regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Guarantor),
in which case it shall promptly notify such Guarantor thereof; provided that
the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to give such notice
shall not affect the validity thereof.

 

2.9                               Formalities.  Each Guarantor waives
presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceptance of this
Guarantee or incurrence of any Guaranteed Liability and any other formality
with respect to any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or this Guarantee.

 

SECTION 3.                            REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

 

Each Guarantor hereby
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

 

3.1                               Power
and Authority.  Each Guarantor is
duly authorized and empowered to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement;
and all action on each of the Guarantor’s part requisite for the due execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement, has been duly and effectively
taken.

 

3.2                               Binding
Obligations.  This Agreement
constitutes the valid and binding obligations of each Guarantor, enforceable in
accordance with its terms (except that enforcement may be subject to general
principles of equity and any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar
debtor relief laws now or hereafter in effect and relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally).

 

3.3                               No
Legal Bar or Resultant Lien.  This
Agreement does not and will not, to the best of each Guarantor’s knowledge,
violate any provisions of any contract, agreement, law, regulation, order,
injunction, judgment, decree or writ to which such Guarantor is subject, or
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien or other encumbrance upon any
assets or properties of such Guarantor.

 

3.4                               No
Consent.  The execution, delivery and
performance by each Guarantor of this Agreement does not require the order,
consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or
filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in
respect of any other Person or entity, including without limitation any
regulatory authority or governmental body of the United States or any state
thereof or any political subdivision of the United States or any state thereof
except for consents required for federal, state and, in some instances, private
leases, right of ways and other conveyances or encumbrances of oil and gas
leases.

 

SECTION 4.                            MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1                               Amendments
in Writing.  None of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified except pursuant to a written instrument signed by the Administrative
Agent and each Guarantor.

 

4.2                               Exercise of Rights. No failure to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, any
right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,

 

4

 

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 the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall be in addition to all
other rights provided by law.

 

4.3                               Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon
the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for
in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice,
request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor
at its notice address set forth on the signature pages hereto.

 

4.4                               Expenses.  Each Guarantor agrees
to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs
and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the Guarantee
or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including
the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of
counsel to the Administrative Agent.  THE BORROWERS HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GARDERE WYNNE SEWELL LLP IS SPECIAL COUNSEL TO JPMORGAN CHASE
BANK, N.A., AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND AS A LENDER, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND
THAT IT IS NOT COUNSEL TO, NOR DOES IT REPRESENT THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR
IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT.  The Borrower and each Guarantor is relying on
separate counsel in the transaction described herein.  The obligations of this Section 4.4
shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the payment of all
indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement.

 

4.5                               Indemnity.  Each Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective officers,
employees, agents, attorneys and representatives (singularly, an “Indemnified
Party”, and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any loss,
cost, liability, damage or expense (including the reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Parties, including all
local counsel hired by such counsel) (“Claim”) incurred by the Indemnified
Parties in investigating or preparing for, defending against, or providing
evidence, producing documents or taking any other action in respect of any
commenced or threatened litigation, administrative proceeding or investigation
under any federal securities law, federal or state environmental law, or any other
statute of any jurisdiction, or any regulation, or at common law or otherwise,
which is alleged to arise out of or is based upon any acts, practices or
omissions or alleged acts, practices or omissions of such Guarantor or its
agents or arises in connection with the duties, obligations or performance of
the Indemnified Parties in negotiating, preparing, executing, accepting,
keeping, completing, countersigning, issuing, selling, delivering, releasing,
assigning, handling, certifying, processing or receiving or taking any other
action with respect to this Agreement and all documents, items and materials
contemplated thereby even if any of the foregoing arises out of an Indemnified
Party’s ordinary negligence.  The indemnity
set forth herein shall be in addition to any other obligations or liabilities
of each Guarantor to the Lenders hereunder or at common law or otherwise, and
shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the payment of all
indebtedness of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, provided that no
Guarantor shall have any obligation under this Section to a Lender with
respect to any of the foregoing arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of any Lender.  If any Claim
is asserted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall endeavor
to notify the Guarantors of such Claim

 

5

 

(but failure to do so shall not affect the
indemnification herein made except to the extent of the actual harm caused by
such failure).  The Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ, at the Guarantors’ expense, counsel of the
Indemnified Parties’ choosing and to control the defense of the Claim.  The Guarantors may at their expense also
participate in the defense of any Claim. 
Each Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel in connection with
any Claim to the extent such Indemnified Party believes it reasonably prudent
to protect such Indemnified Party.  THE PARTIES INTEND FOR THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION TO APPLY TO
AND PROTECT EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY LIABILITY
INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED OR THREATENED TO BE IMPOSED ON THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS WELL AS FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE,
WHETHER OR NOT THAT NEGLIGENCE IS THE SOLE, CONTRIBUTING, OR CONCURRING CAUSE
OF ANY CLAIM.

 

4.6                               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 provisions 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 the 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.

 

4.7                               Multiple
Counterparts.  This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one
and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple
separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all
signature pages are physically attached to the same document.  Facsimiles shall be effective as originals.

 

4.8                               Survival.  All covenants, agreements, undertakings,
representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive all
closings hereunder and shall not be affected by any investigation made by any
party.

 

4.9                               Parties
Bound. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors,
assigns, heirs, legal representatives and estates, provided, however, that no
Guarantor may, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,
assign any rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder.

 

4.10                        Choice
of Forum: Consent to Service of Process and Jurisdiction.  THE OBLIGATIONS OF EACH GUARANTOR UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT ARE PERFORMABLE IN DALLAS, TEXAS. 
ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE GUARANTORS WITH RESPECT TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY JUDGMENT ENTERED BY ANY COURT IN RESPECT THEREOF,
MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, OR IN THE UNITED
STATES COURTS LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS AND EACH GUARANTOR
HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE
OF

 

6

 

ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SAID COURT BY THE
MAILING THEREOF BY LENDER BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO
SUCH GUARANTOR, AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS PROVIDED IN
SECTION 4.3.  EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND HEREBY
FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 

4.11                        Waiver
of Jury Trial.  EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

4.12                        Other
Agreements.  THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT
REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

 

4.13                        Releases.  At such time as the Loans and the other
Obligations shall have been paid in full, this Agreement and all obligations
(other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of each
Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or
performance of any act by any party.
