and

WHEREAS, Borrowers, Lenders and Agent now desire to amend
the Agreement as herein set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing
recitals and the mutual covenants and premises contained herein, together with
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions to effectiveness set forth in
Section 7 hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

    
1.     
    Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Eighth Amendment
    (including the recitals hereof) shall have the meanings assigned to them in
    the Agreement, as amended by this Eighth Amendment.
    
	

2.     Amendments to Definitions.
    

(a)   The following definitions set forth in Section 1.1 of the Agreement
      are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

	
		"Borrowing Base Eligible Receivables" means
    any accounts receivable (on a gross basis without giving effect to advance
    rate percentages) of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries derived from or
    attributable to any contract the receivables of which are or previously were
    eligible for inclusion in the Borrowing Base.

		"Termination Date" means 11:00 a.m.,
    Houston, Texas time on February 11, 2005.

	

3.     Termination of Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the
    contrary contained in the Agreement, from and after the date hereof each
    Lender's Commitment is hereby terminated and the Borrowers shall have no
    right to receive any further Advances under the Agreement. Furthermore, the
    Lenders shall not be required to issue any new Letters of Credit or increase
    any existing Letters of Credit under the Agreement. 

4.     Cash Sweep and Combined Commitment
    Reductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan
    Documents and without limitation of any terms thereof, commencing on
    January 21, 2005, through the Termination Date, Borrowers shall cause all
    funds consisting of Borrowing Base Eligible Receivables to be paid directly
    to the Holding Lockbox or deposited directly into the Holding Account. If
    for any reason such funds are not paid directly to the Holding Lockbox or
    deposited directly into the Holding Account, Borrower shall immediately
    transfer such funds into the Holding Account. Agent shall transfer daily to
    the Collateral Account all such funds received in the Holding Lockbox or

    funds consisting of Borrowing Base Eligible Receivables shall be applied by
    Agent to the Obligations. Borrowers shall deliver to Agent daily a

    of any Subordinated Debt. 

6.    
    
	Accounts. Borrowers and their
    respective Subsidiaries shall maintain all of their domestic deposit

    except for petty cash accounts in an aggregate amount which does not exceed
    $300,000 and workmen's compensation accounts required to be 
maintained at
    other locations. Borrowers shall only transfer funds from a Domestic Account
    for purposes of paying Borrowers' operating expenses then due and payable in
    the ordinary course of Borrowers' business. Borrowers shall give Agent no
    less than twenty-four hours advance notice of any individual request for
    withdrawal from a Domestic Account in excess of $1,500,000, including the

    purposes other than paying Borrowers' operating expenses then due and

    THE RELEASING PARTIES DO HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL
