than 11:00 a.m. (Austin, Texas time) on the day which is not less than the
number of Business Days specified above for such notice.

Conversions and Continuations. The Borrower shall have the right from time to
time to Convert all or part of a Revolving Credit Loan Advance or a Tranche B
Advance of one Type into an Advance of another Type or to Continue Eurodollar
Advances as Eurodollar Advances by giving the Agent written notice at least one
Business Day before Conversion into a Base Rate Advance, and at least three
Business Days before Conversion into or Continuation of a Eurodollar Advance,
specifying: (a) the Conversion or Continuation date, (b) the amount of the
Advance to be Converted or Continued, (c) in the case of Conversions, the Type
of Advance to be Converted into, and (d) in the case of a Continuation of or
Conversion into a Eurodollar Advance, the duration of the Interest Period
applicable thereto; provided that (i) Eurodollar Advances may only be Converted
on the last day of the Interest Period, (ii) except for Conversions into Base
Rate Advances, no Conversions shall be made while a Default has occurred and is
continuing, and (iii) no more than five Interest Periods shall be in effect at
the same time. The Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents of each such

thereof. All notices by the Borrower under this Section shall be irrevocable and
shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. (Austin, Texas time) on the day which
is not less than the number of Business Days specified above for such notice. If
the Borrower shall fail to give the Agent the notice as specified above for
Continuation or Conversion of a Eurodollar Advance prior to the end of the
Interest Period with respect thereto, such Eurodollar Advance shall be Converted
automatically into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of the then current
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Advance.

      Swing Loans.

Making Swing Loans; Interest Rate. For the convenience of the parties and as an
integral part of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the Swing
Lender, solely for its own account, agrees, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, to make Swing Loans to the Borrower (which the Borrower
may repay and reborrow from time to time in accordance with the terms and
provisions hereof) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from
the date hereof to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which shall not exceed
the Swing Commitment; provided that, the Swing Lender shall not be obligated to
make any Swing Loan (i) which when added to the then outstanding Revolving
Credit Loan Advances plus the outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities plus the
outstanding Swing Loan Advances would exceed the lesser of (1) the Commitments
and (2) the Borrowing Base minus the outstanding Tranche B Advances, and

                                       21
<PAGE>
(ii) at any time after any Lender has refused to purchase a participation in any
Swing Loan as provided in Section 2.8(d). All Swing Loans shall bear interest at
the lesser of (A) the Maximum Rate and (B) the Applicable Rate for Base Rate
Advances (subject to Section 2.5) and shall be included within the Primary
Obligations hereunder. Each Swing Loan shall be subject to all the terms and
conditions applicable to the Revolving Credit Loan; provided that, (i) there
shall be no minimum Swing Loan Advance amount or repayment for a Swing Loan
except as provided in Section 2.8(c), and (ii) each Swing Loan shall be
available and may be prepaid on same day telephonic notice to be followed
promptly with an Advance Request Form (except for telephonic notices of
prepayment) from the Borrower to the Swing Lender, so long as such notice is
received by the Swing Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. (Austin, Texas time).

Swing Note. The Swing Loans made by the Swing Lender shall be evidenced by a
single promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit C
hereto, payable to the order of the Swing Lender in a principal amount equal to
the Swing Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

Repayment of Swing Loans. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date 10 Business
Days after each Swing Loan Advance, and (ii) demand by the Swing Lender, the
Borrower shall promptly borrow Revolving Credit Loans from the Lenders, pursuant
to Section 2.1 hereof and apply the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans to
the repayment of such Swing Loan Advance then due.

Participation of Lenders. In the event the Borrower shall fail to repay when due
any Swing Loan, each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment shall irrevocably
and unconditionally purchase from the Swing Lender an SL Participation in such
Swing Loan in lawful money of the United States and in the same day funds, in an
amount equal to such Lender's pro rata share (based on the Revolving Credit
Commitments) of the principal amount of such Swing Loans then due; provided
that, no Lender shall be obligated to purchase a participation in the Swing
Loans which would cause the outstanding Advances owed to such Lender plus such
Lender's pro rata part of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities to exceed
such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment. If such amount is not in fact made
available to the Swing Lender by any Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment,
the Swing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Lender together with accrued interest thereon, for each day from the date of
demand therefor, if made prior to 1:00 p.m. (Austin, Texas time) on any Business
Day, or, if made at any other time, from the next Business Day following the
date of such demand, until the date such amount is paid to the Swing Lender by
such Lender at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount
forthwith upon the Swing Lender's demand therefor, and until such time as such
Lender makes the required payment, the Swing Lender shall be deemed to continue
to have outstanding a Swing Loan in the amount of such unpaid participation
obligation for all purposes under the Loan Documents other than those provisions
requiring the other Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment to purchase a
participation therein. Thereafter, each payment of all or any part of the
Primary Obligations evidenced by the Swing Note shall be paid to the Swing
Lender for the ratable benefit of the Swing Lender and the Lenders who are
participants in the Swing Loan; provided that, with respect to any participation
hereunder, all interest accruing on the Swing Loan (or any portion thereof) to
which such participation relates prior to the date of purchase of any
participation hereunder shall be payable solely to the Swing Lender for its own
account.

                                       22
<PAGE>
Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Advances shall be used by the Borrower to
refinance Debt of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement, for working
capital in the ordinary course of business and other general corporate purposes.

Fees. (a) On the date hereof and on or prior to each October 30 during the term
hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Agent an
annual agent fee in an amount to be agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent
pursuant to a side letter agreement, and (b) the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Agent for the account of each Lender a Commitment Fee (herein so called) on the
average daily unused amount of such Lender's Commitment for the period from and
including the date of this Agreement to and including the Revolving Credit
Termination Date (or the Tranche B Termination Date, if applicable), at the
Commitment Fee Rate, based on a 360 day year and the actual number of days
elapsed. The accrued Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on each
Quarterly Payment Date and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or the
Tranche B Termination Date, if applicable). For the purpose of calculating the
Commitment Fee hereunder, the Commitments shall be deemed utilized by the amount
of all Revolving Credit Loan Advances, Tranche B Advances and all Letter of
Credit Liabilities and without giving effect to any Swing Loan Advances.

Determination of Eurodollar Margin and Base Rate Margin. The Eurodollar Margin
and the Base Rate Margin shall be defined and determined as follows:

            "Base Rate Margin" shall mean (i) during the period commencing on
      the date hereof and ending on but not including the first Adjustment Date,
      1.50% per annum, and (ii) during each period, from and including one
      Adjustment Date to but excluding the next Adjustment Date (herein a
      "Calculation Period"), the percent per annum set forth in the table below
      in this Section 2.11 under the heading "Base Rate Margin" opposite the
      Leverage Ratio calculated for the completed four Fiscal Quarters which
      immediately preceded the beginning of the applicable Calculation Period.

            "Eurodollar Margin" shall mean (i) during the period commencing on
      the date hereof and ending on but not including the first Adjustment Date,
      3.00% per annum, and (ii) during each Calculation Period, the percent per
      annum set forth in the table below in this Section 2.11 under the heading
      "Eurodollar Margin" opposite the Leverage Ratio calculated for the
      completed four Fiscal Quarters which immediately preceded the beginning of
      the applicable Calculation Period.

      automatically be adjusted as set forth in the table above, such automatic
      adjustment to take effect as of the first Business Day after the receipt
      by the Agent of the related Compliance Certificate (each such Business Day
      when the Eurodollar Margin or Base Rate Margin is adjusted pursuant to
      this sentence or below, herein an "Adjustment Date"). If the Borrower
      fails to deliver such Compliance Certificate which so sets forth the
      Leverage Ratio within the period of time required by Section 8.1(c), the
      Eurodollar Margin and the Base Rate Margin shall automatically be adjusted
      to highest applicable percentage set forth in the grid above, such
      automatic adjustment to take effect as of the first Business Day after the
      last day on which the Borrower was required to deliver the applicable
      Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 8.1(c) and to remain in
      effect until subsequently adjusted in accordance herewith upon the
      delivery of a Compliance Certificate.

      Reduction or Termination of Commitments.

Optional. The Borrower shall have the right to terminate in whole or reduce in
part the unused portion of the Commitments (including the Swing Commitment) upon
at least three Business Days prior notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to
the Agent and each Lender specifying the effective date thereof, whether a
termination or reduction is being made, and the amount of any partial reduction,
provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 (or in
the case of the Swing Commitment, $1,000,000) or an integral multiple thereof
and the Revolving Credit Commitments (other than the Swing Commitment) shall not
be reduced below the outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities, and the Borrower
shall simultaneously prepay the amount by which (i) the unpaid principal amount
of the Revolving Credit Loan Advances, the Swing Loan Advances and outstanding
Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitments (after
giving effect to such notice) plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
amount so prepaid and (ii) the unpaid principal amount of the Tranche B Advances
exceeds the Tranche B Commitments (after giving effect to such notice) plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid. The Commitments
may not be reinstated after they have been terminated or reduced. In addition
the Swing Commitment may never be more than the Revolving Credit Commitments
(exclusive of the amount of the Swing Commitment). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, any such termination or reduction in the
Commitments shall be applied first to the Tranche B Commitments, then any
remaining reduction shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitments.

Mandatory.

Upon the occurrence of any event requiring a mandatory prepayment under Section
4.3(c), (A) the Commitments shall automatically reduce by the amount equal to
100% of the Net Proceeds from the issuance, sale or other disposition of any
shares of equity securities or other equity interests and (B) the Borrower shall
simultaneously prepay the amount by which the unpaid principal amount of the
Advances plus the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Commitments (after
giving effect to such reduction) plus accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount so prepaid. Any such reductions in the Commitments shall be
applied first to the Tranche B Commitments, then any remaining reduction shall
be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitments.

Upon the occurrence of any event requiring a mandatory prepayment under Section
4.3(d) and so long as either the Tranche B Commitment or the Tranche B Loan is
outstanding, (A) the Tranche B Commitments shall automatically reduce by the
amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds from the sale of assets occurring on
such date, and (B) the Borrower shall simultaneously prepay the amount by which
the unpaid principal amount of the Tranche B Advances exceeds the Tranche B
Commitments (after giving effect to such reduction) plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount so prepaid. In the event that the amount of Net
Proceeds received under this clause (ii) exceeds the Tranche B Commitment, the
amount of such excess Net Proceeds shall be subject to Section 2.12(b)(iii).

                                       24
<PAGE>
Upon the occurrence of any event requiring a mandatory prepayment under Section
4.3(d) and so long as the Tranche B Commitments have been terminated and the
Borrower has paid the outstanding Tranche B Loan, (A) the Commitments shall
automatically reduce by the amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds from the
sale of assets occurring on such date to the extent such amount exceeds either
(x) $1,000,000 per Disposition or (y) $3,000,000 in the aggregate for all
Dispositions which have occurred since the date hereof, (including without
limitation, any Dispositions requiring a Tranche B Commitment reduction as
provided in Section 2.12(b)(ii)) and (B) the Borrower shall simultaneously
prepay the amount by which the unpaid principal amount of the Advances plus the
Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Commitments (after giving effect to
such reduction) plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so
prepaid.

On each Monthly Payment Date beginning December 3, 2002, (A) the Tranche B
Commitments shall automatically reduce by $250,000, and (B) the Borrower shall
simultaneously prepay the amount by which the unpaid principal amount of the
Tranche B Advances exceeds the Tranche B Commitments (after giving effect to
such reduction) plus accrued and unpaid interest in the principal amount so
prepaid.

Tranche B Non-Payment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the
account of the Lenders a fee (the "Tranche B Non-Payment Fee") in an amount
equal to 3% of the Commitments outstanding as of the date immediately prior to
the Tranche B Termination Date which shall be fully earned and due and payable
on the Tranche B Termination Date. The Agent and the Lenders shall forgive
payment of the Tranche B Non-Payment Fee if the Borrower has terminated the
Tranche B Commitments and paid in full the outstanding Tranche B Loan on or
before the Tranche B Termination Date.

Letters of Credit

      Letters of Credit.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank agrees
to issue one or more standby Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower
from time to time from the date hereof to but excluding the Revolving Credit
Termination Date; provided, however, that the outstanding Letter of Credit
Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (i) $2,000,000, and (ii)
an amount equal to (A) the lesser of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitments and
(2) the Borrowing Base minus the outstanding Tranche B Advances, minus (B) the
sum of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loan Advances and Swing Loan Advances.
Each Letter of Credit

                                       25
<PAGE>
shall have an expiration date not beyond five Business Days prior to the
Revolving Credit Termination Date, shall be payable in Dollars, must support a
transaction that is entered into in the ordinary course of the Borrower's
business, must be satisfactory in form and substance to the Issuing Bank, and
shall be issued pursuant to such documents and instruments (including, without
limitation, the Issuing Bank's standard application for issuance of letters of
credit as then in effect) as the Issuing Bank may require. No Letter of Credit
shall require any payment by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder
pursuant to a drawing prior to the third Business Day following presentment of a
draft and any related documents to the Issuing Bank.

By the issuance of each Letter of Credit and without any further action on the
part of the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders in respect thereof, the Issuing
Bank hereby grants to each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment and each
Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereby agrees to acquire from the
Issuing Bank a participation in each Letter of Credit and the related Letter of
Credit Liabilities, effective upon the issuance thereof without recourse or
warranty, equal to such Lender's pro rata share (based on the Revolving Credit
Commitments) of such Letter of Credit and Letter of Credit Liabilities. In
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, as and
when required by Section 3.4, such Lender's pro rata share of each Letter of
Credit Disbursement. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) in respect of each Letter
of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation the occurrence and
continuance of any Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding, or reduction whatsoever. This agreement to grant
and acquire participations is an agreement between the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit
shall be entitled to rely thereon. The Borrower agrees that each Lender
purchasing a participation from the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.1(b)
may exercise all its rights to payment against the Borrower including the right
of setoff, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

The Issuing Bank agrees with each Lender that it shall transfer to such Lender,
without any offset, abatement, withholding, or reduction whatsoever, such
Lender's proportionate share of any payment of a reimbursement obligation of the
Borrower with respect to a Letter of Credit Disbursement, including interest
payments made to the Issuing Bank on such Letter of Credit Disbursement, based
on the proportion that the payment made by such Lender to the Issuing Bank in
respect of the principal amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement bears to
the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement.

Schedule 1.1(b) contains a description of all letters of credit which were
issued pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement or the Existing Credit
Agreement and which are to remain outstanding under this Agreement. Each of the
Existing LCs shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of this
Agreement and shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed issued on the
date hereof.

Procedure for Issuing Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued
on at least three Business Days prior notice from the Borrower to the Issuing
Bank by means of a Letter of Credit Request Form describing the transaction
proposed to be supported thereby and specifying (a) the date on which such
Letter of Credit is to be issued (which shall be a Business Day) and the face
amount thereof, (b) the name and address of the beneficiary, (c) whether such
Letter of Credit

                                       26
<PAGE>
shall permit a single drawing or multiple drawings, (d) the conditions
permitting the drawing or drawings thereunder, (e) whether the draft thereunder
shall be a sight or time draft and, if the latter, the date when the draft shall
be payable, (f) the form of the draft and any other documents required to be
presented at the time of any drawing (such notice to set forth the exact wording
of such documents or to attach copies thereof), and (g) the expiration date of
such Letter of Credit. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent
in Article VI, the Issuing Bank shall make the applicable Letter of Credit
available to the Borrower or, if so requested by the Borrower, to the
beneficiary of the Letter of Credit.

Presentment and Reimbursement. (a) Promptly upon receipt of any documents
purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall give notice to the Borrower of the receipt thereof, which
notice may be telephonic. If the Issuing Bank shall have determined that a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit appears on its face to be in
conformity with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, the Issuing
Bank shall give notice to the Borrower, which notice may be telephonic, of the
receipt and amount of such drawing and the date on which payment thereon will be
made. If the Borrower shall not have discharged in full by 10:00 a.m. (Austin,
Texas time) on the date of such payment, its obligation to reimburse the Issuing
Bank in the amount of such drawing under such Letter of Credit, then the amount
of such drawing for which the Issuing Bank shall not have been reimbursed by the
Borrower shall be paid by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent the
Issuing Bank shall have received payments with respect to such drawing from the
Lenders, to the Issuing Bank for the account of the Lenders, within three
Business Days after the date of such drawing (but in any event before the
Revolving Credit Termination Date), together with interest on such amount at the
Default Rate from the date of payment by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary
under the Letter of Credit (each such payment made after 10:00 a.m. (Austin,
Texas time) on such due date to be deemed to be made on the next succeeding
Business Day). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.3 shall be
unconditional, absolute, and irrevocable in all respects.

Payment. If the Issuing Bank shall pay any draft presented under a Letter of
Credit issued by it and if the Borrower shall not have discharged in full its
reimbursement obligation by 10:00 a.m. (Austin, Texas time) on the date of such
Letter of Credit Disbursement, then the Issuing Bank shall as promptly as
practicable give telephonic (which shall be promptly confirmed in writing) or
facsimile notice to each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of the date
of such payment and the amount of such payment and each Lender with a Revolving
Credit Commitment shall pay to the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds,
not later than 3:00 p.m. (Austin, Texas time) on the date of such payment (or,
if Issuing Bank shall notify the Lenders of such payment after 11:00 a.m.
(Austin, Texas time) then not later than 12:00 p.m. (Austin, Texas time) on the
next succeeding Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender's pro rata share
of such drawing; provided that, if any Lender shall for any reason fail to pay
the Issuing Bank its pro rata share of the drawing on the date of such payment,
the Issuing Bank shall itself fund such Lender's pro rata share while retaining
the right to proceed against such Lender for reimbursement therefor. In the
event that the Issuing Bank shall fund a Lender's pro rata share of a drawing,
the amount so funded shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate and shall be payable by such Lender when it reimburses the
Issuing Bank for funding its pro rata part (with interest to accrue from and
including the date of such funding to and excluding the date of reimbursement).
In the event that a Lender, after notice, pays its pro rata share of a drawing
hereunder and such payment is not required to fund a Letter of Credit
Disbursement, the Issuing Bank shall return such payment to the Lender with
interest calculated

                                       27
<PAGE>
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate (with interest to accrue
from and including the date of such funding to and excluding the date of
return). The obligation of each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment to pay
to the Issuing Bank such Lender's pro rata part of any drawing under a Letter of
Credit shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
(including without limitation the passage of the Termination Date), and such
obligations shall be several and not joint.

Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of
the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments, a nonrefundable letter of credit
fee for each Letter of Credit payable in arrears on each quarterly anniversary
date of the issuance date thereof in an amount equal to the applicable
Eurodollar Margin multiplied by the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit,
based on a 360 day year and the actual number of days in the stated term of such
Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank,
solely for its own account as issuer of Letters of Credit, nonrefundable
fronting, amendment, transfer, negotiation and other fees as determined in
accordance with the Issuing Bank's then current fee policy.

Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the obligation of the
Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for draws under any Letter of Credit)
shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the
following circumstances:

Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other Loan
Document;

Any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document;

The existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense or other rights which
the Borrower, any Obligated Party, or any other Person may have at any time
against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, any Lender,
the Agent, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or any unrelated transaction;

Any statement, draft, or other document presented under any Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

Payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; or

Any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.

Limitation of Liability. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions
of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such
Letter of Credit. Neither the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Agent, nor any of
their officers or directors shall have any responsibility or liability to the
Borrower or any other Person for: (a) the failure of any draft to bear any
reference or adequate reference to any Letter of Credit, or the failure of any
documents to accompany any draft at negotiation, or the failure of any Person to
surrender or to take up any Letter of Credit or to send documents apart from
drafts as required by the terms of any Letter of Credit, or the failure of any
Person to note the amount of any instrument on any Letter of Credit,

                                       28
<PAGE>
each of which requirements, if contained in any Letter of Credit itself, it is
agreed may be waived by the Issuing Bank, (b) errors, omissions, interruptions,
or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, (c) the validity,
sufficiency, or genuineness of any draft or other document, or any
endorsement(s) thereon, even if any such draft, document or endorsement should
in fact prove to be in any and all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent,
or forged or any statement therein is untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (d)
the payment by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit
against presentation of any draft or other document that does not comply with
the terms of the Letter of Credit, or (e) any other circumstance whatsoever in
making or failing to make any payment under a Letter of Credit. The Borrower
shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be
liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential,
damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves in a final
nonappealable judgment were caused by (i) the Issuing Bank's willful misconduct
or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under any Letter
of Credit complied with the terms thereof or (ii) the Issuing Bank's willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after presentation to it of documents
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. The
Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order,
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary.

Payments

Method of Payment. Except as provided in Article III, all payments of principal,
interest, and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent at the Payment Office for
the account of each Lender's Applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in
immediately available funds by credit to Account Number 4518-151436, without
setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Austin, Texas
time) on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made
after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day). The Borrower shall, at the time of making each such
payment, specify to the Agent the sums payable by the Borrower under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such payment is to be applied
(and in the event that the Borrower fails to so specify, or if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may apply such payment to the
Obligations in such order and manner as it may elect in its sole discretion,
subject to Section 4.4 hereof). Each payment received by the Agent under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document for the account of a Lender shall be paid
by the Agent to such Lender, in immediately available funds, for the account of
such Lender's Applicable Lending Office within one Business Day following
receipt thereof. Whenever any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such
payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of
interest, the Commitment Fee and any other fees, as the case may be.

Voluntary Prepayment. The Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day prior
notice to the Agent in the case of Base Rate Advances (except as otherwise
provided for under Section 2.8(a) for Swing Loan Advances), and at least three
Business Days prior notice to the Agent in the case of Eurodollar Advances,
voluntarily prepay the Advances in whole at any time or from time to

                                       29
<PAGE>
time in part without premium or penalty but with accrued interest to the date of
prepayment on the amount so prepaid, provided that (a) Eurodollar Advances may
be prepaid only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advances, and
(b) each partial prepayment shall be in the principal amount of $5,000,000 or an
integral multiples of $1,000,000. All notices under this Section shall be
irrevocable and shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. (Austin, Texas time) on
the day which is not less than the number of Business Days specified above for
such notice. Any such voluntary prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate
Advances under the Tranche B Loan, then to Eurodollar Advances under the Tranche
B Loan, then to the Swing Loan Advances, then to Letter of Credit Disbursements
for which the Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed by the Borrower, then to Base
Rate Advances under the Revolving Credit Loan and then to the remaining Letter
of Credit Liabilities. Any prepayments hereunder shall be accompanied with
accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment and
any partial prepayments thereof shall be applied to the principal installments
due in the inverse order of maturity.

      Mandatory Prepayments.

If at any time the amount equal to (I) the sum of (i) the outstanding principal
amount of all Tranche B Advances, Revolving Credit Loan Advances and the Swing
Loan Advances, plus (ii) the Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds (II) the
lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the Commitments and (B) the Borrowing
Base, the Borrower shall promptly prepay Tranche B Advances, Revolving Credit
Loan Advances, Swing Loan Advances and the Letter of Credit Disbursements by the
amount of the excess or, if no Tranche B Advances, Revolving Credit Loan
Advances, Swing Loan Advances or Letter of Credit Disbursements are outstanding,
the Borrower shall immediately pledge to the Agent cash or Cash Equivalent
Investments (subject to no other Liens) in an amount equal to the excess as
security for the Obligations. Any such mandatory prepayments shall be applied
first to Base Rate Advances under the Tranche B Loan, then to Eurodollar
Advances under the Tranche B Loan, then to Swing Loan Advances, then to Letter
of Credit Disbursements for which the Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed by
the Borrower, then to Base Rate Advances under the Revolving Credit Loan, then
to Eurodollar Advances under the Revolving Credit Loan, and then to the
remaining Letter of Credit Liabilities. Any prepayments hereunder shall be
accompanied with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date
of prepayment.

After any reduction in the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12, the Borrower
shall promptly prepay (i) first the outstanding Tranche B Advances by the amount
which the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Advances
exceeds the Tranche B Commitments, as reduced and (ii) then, the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loan Advances and Swing Loan Advances by the amount which the
sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances under the Revolving
Credit Loan and the Swing Loan plus the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the
aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, as reduced.

Upon the issuance, sale or other disposition of any shares of equity securities
(or any securities convertible or exchangeable for any such shares, or any
rights, warrants, or options to subscribe for or purchase any such shares), by
the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the Advances
by an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of any such issuances. Any such
mandatory prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Advances under the
Tranche B Loan, then to Eurodollar Advances under the Tranche B Loan, then to
the Swing Loan Advances, then to Letter of Credit Disbursements for which the
Issuing Bank has not been

                                       30
<PAGE>
reimbursed by the Borrower, then to Base Rate Advances under the Revolving
Credit Loan, then to Eurodollar Advances under the Revolving Credit Loan and
then to the remaining Letter of Credit Liabilities. Any prepayments hereunder
shall be accompanied with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to
the date of prepayment and any partial prepayments thereof shall be applied to
the principal installments due in the inverse order of maturity.

Upon the Disposition of any assets (other than Dispositions of assets permitted
under Sections 9.8(a) and (c)), the Borrower shall promptly prepay the Advances
by an amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such Disposition; provided however,
with respect to any Dispositions permitted under Sections 9.8(b) and (d), the
Borrower shall promptly prepay the Advances by an amount equal to (A) the Net
Proceeds of such Disposition so long as either the Tranche B Commitments or the
Tranche B Loan is outstanding or (B) the Net Proceeds of such Disposition to the
extent such amount exceeds either (i) $1,000,000 per Disposition or (ii)
$3,000,000 in the aggregate for all Dispositions which have occurred since the
date hereof (including without limitation any Disposition described in clause
(A) above) so long as the Tranche B Commitments have been terminated and the
Borrower has paid the outstanding Tranche B Loan. Any such mandatory prepayments
shall be applied first to Base Rate Advances under the Tranche B Loan, then to
Eurodollar Advances under the Tranche B Loan, then to the Swing Loan Advances,
then to Letter of Credit Disbursements for which the Issuing Bank has not been
reimbursed by the Borrower, then to the Base Rate Advances under the Revolving
Credit Loan, then to Eurodollar Advances under the Revolving Credit Loan, and
then to the remaining Letter of Credit Liabilities. Accrued and unpaid interest
on the amount prepaid hereunder to the date of prepayment shall be due and
payable at the next Monthly Payment Date or at any other time at the request of
the Agent.

Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each
Advance shall be made by the Lenders under Section 2.1, each payment of the
Commitment Fee under Section 2.10, each payment of the Tranche B Non-Payment Fee
under Section 2.13 and each payment of the Letter of Credit fee under Section
3.5 (except as provided therein) shall be made for the account of the Lenders,
pro rata according to their respective Commitments; (b) each termination or
reduction of the Commitments under Section 2.12 shall be applied first to the
Tranche B Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the respective
Tranche B Commitments and then to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the
Lenders, pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit Commitments; (c)
the making, Conversion, and Continuation of Advances of a particular Type (other
than Conversions provided for by Section 5.4) shall be made pro rata among the
Lenders holding Advances of such Type according to the amounts of their
respective Commitments; (d) each payment and prepayment of principal of or
interest on Advances by the Borrower or any Obligated Party of a particular Type
of Loan shall be made to the Agent first for the account of the Lenders holding
Tranche B Advances of such Type pro rata in accordance with the respective
unpaid principal amounts of such Tranche B Advances held by such Lenders, and
then for the account of the Lenders holding Revolving Credit Loan Advances of
such Type of Loan pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal
amounts of such Advances of such Revolving Credit Loan held by such Lenders; (e)
any and all other monies received by the Agent from any source other than
pursuant to any of clauses (a) through (d) hereinabove (including, without
limitation, from the Borrower or any Guarantor) to be applied first against the
outstanding Tranche B Loan shall be for the pro rata benefit and account of the
Lenders based upon each Lender's aggregate outstanding Tranche B Advances of all
Types and to the aggregate outstanding Tranche B Advances of all Types of all
Lenders, then against

                                       31
<PAGE>
the Primary Obligations shall be for the pro rata benefit and account of the
Lenders based upon each Lender's aggregate outstanding Advances of all Types and
LC Participations and SL Participations to the aggregate outstanding Advances of
all Types and LC Participations and SL Participations of all Lenders and then
against the Secondary Obligations shall be for the pro rata benefit and account
of the Lenders based upon their respective unpaid amounts of the Secondary
Obligations; and (f) the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments shall
purchase from the Issuing Bank and the Swing Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 and
Section 2.8 respectively, participations in the Letters of Credit and the
related Letter of Credit Liabilities and the Swing Loans respectively, pro rata
in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments.

Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by
a Lender or the Borrower (the "Payor") prior to the date on which such Lender is
to make payment to the Agent hereunder or the Borrower is to make a payment to
the Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders, as the case may be
(such payment being herein called the "Required Payment"), which notice shall be
effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required
Payment to the Agent, the Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been
made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to),
make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if
the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Agent, (a) the
recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to the Agent the amount made
available to it together with interest thereon in respect of the period
commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the
date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) if
recovered from a Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate for such period and (ii) if
recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the Loan, as
determined pursuant to Section 2.5 and (b) Agent shall be entitled to offset
against any and all sums to be paid to such recipient, the amount calculated in
accordance with the foregoing clause (a).

      Taxes.

Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the Agent or any
Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Agent and each
Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any
political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which the Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office (all such
non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees,
withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by any laws to deduct any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Agent or
any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section), each of the Agent and such Lender receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such
payment, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent (which shall forward the same
to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof.

                                       32
<PAGE>
In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp,
court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or
similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from
the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as "Other
Taxes").

If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from
or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Agent or any
Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the Agent or to such Lender, as the case
may be, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that the Agent or
such Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after
factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income)
that the Agent or such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes
had not been imposed.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender for (i) the full
amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Agent and such Lender, (ii) amounts payable under Section 4.6(c) and (iii) any
liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto paid by the Agent and such Lender, in each
case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this clause
(d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Agent makes a
demand therefor.

      Tax Forms.

            (b) Each Lender that is not a "United States person" within the
            meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Foreign Lender")
            shall deliver to the Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject
            to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an
            interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS
            Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign
            Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of,
            withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by
            the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any
            successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such
            Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such
            other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent that such
            Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of,
            U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section
            881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such
            Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Agent such
            additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or
            such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the
            relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available
            under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or
            such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent of
            any available exemption from or reduction of, United States
            withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
            Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B)
            promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances which would
            modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C)
            take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in
            the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably
            necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to
            avoid any requirement of applicable laws that the

                                       33
<PAGE>
            Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts
            payable to such Foreign Lender.

Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own
account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender
under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical
participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Agent on the date when such
Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of
any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in
the determination of the Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion),
(A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be
provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such
sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account
that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed
copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any
information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other
certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that
such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any
such sums payable to such Lender.

The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign
Lender under Section 4.6 (A) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted
or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of
exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section
4.7 or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions
of this Section 4.7(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the
requirement of this Section 4.7(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or
ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the
Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 4.7(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 4.6 in the event that, as a
result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or
application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver
forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact
that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives
any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding
or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.

The Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and
withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which
the Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section
4.7(a).

Upon the request of the Agent, each Lender that is a "United States person"
within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Agent
two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to
deliver such forms, then the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to
such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax
imposed by the Code, without reduction.

If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent did not properly withhold
or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments
made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent
therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs
and expenses (including attorney's fees and expenses) of the Agent. The
obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of
the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the
resignation of the Agent.

                                       34
<PAGE>
Computation of Interest. Interest on the Advances and all other amounts payable
by the Borrower hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day) unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case
interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be.

      Proceeds of Collateral and Collections under the Guaranty.

Proceeds. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.3, any proceeds received by
the Agent from the sale or other liquidation of the Collateral and from
collections under the Guaranty shall first be applied as payment of the accrued
and unpaid fees of the Agent hereunder and then to all other unpaid or
unreimbursed Obligations (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
owing to the Agent in its capacity as Agent only. Any amount of such proceeds
remaining after the applications described in the preceding sentence shall be
distributed:

first, to the Lenders, pro rata, in accordance with the respective unpaid
amounts of the Primary Obligations (including in such Primary Obligations for
purposes of this calculation all Letter of Credit Liabilities) until all Primary
Obligations are paid in full and provided that each Lender's pro rata portion of
such proceeds applicable to Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be held by the
Agent (and not disbursed to the Lenders) as collateral for the Letter of Credit
Liabilities relating thereto;

then to the Lenders, pro rata, in accordance with the respective unpaid amounts
of the Secondary Obligations; and

after all Primary Obligations are paid in full, and all Letter of Credit
Liabilities have terminated or are otherwise satisfied, all remaining portions
of the proceeds of the Collateral then held by the Agent or such Lender as
collateral for the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be distributed to the
Lenders, pro rata, in accordance with their respective unpaid amounts of the
Secondary Obligations.

Noncash Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
the Agent shall ever acquire any Collateral through foreclosure or by a
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or by retaining any of the Collateral in
satisfaction of all or part of the Obligations or if any proceeds of Collateral
received by the Agent to be distributed and shared pursuant to this Section 4.9
are in a form other than immediately available funds, the Agent shall not be
required to remit any share thereof under the terms hereof and the Lenders shall
only be entitled to their undivided interests in the Collateral or noncash
proceeds as determined hereby. The Lenders shall receive the application
portions (in accordance with Section 4.9(a)) of any immediately available funds
consisting of proceeds from such Collateral or proceeds of such noncash proceeds
so acquired only if any when paid in connection with the subsequent disposition
thereof. While any Collateral or other property to be shared pursuant to this
Section 4.9 is held by the Agent pursuant to this clause (b), the Agent shall
hold such Collateral or other property for the benefit of the Lenders and all
matters relating to the management, operation, further disposition or any other
aspect of such Collateral or other property shall be resolved by the agreement
of the Required Lenders.

Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the
Borrower is made to the Agent or any Lender, or the Agent or any Lender
exercises its right of set-off, and such

                                       35
<PAGE>
payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or such Lender
in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of
America, or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for
the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws of the applicable jurisdictions or otherwise,
then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not
occurred, and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand
its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent,
plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is
made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
effect.

Yield Protection; Limitations on Advances; Capital Adequacy

      Additional Costs.

The Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts as
such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs
incurred by such Lender which such Lender determines are attributable to its
making or maintaining of any Eurodollar Advances hereunder or its obligation to
make any of such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable
by such Lender hereunder in respect of any such Advances or such obligation
(such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein
called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this
Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such Advances (other than taxes
imposed on the overall net income of such Lender or its Applicable Lending
Office for any of such Advances by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its
principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);

imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, minimum capital, capital
ratio, or similar requirement relating to any extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such
Lender (including any of such Advances or any deposits referred to in the
definition of "Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof); or

imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Notes or any of such
extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments.

Each Lender will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of
this Agreement which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this
Section 5.1(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and
determines to request such compensation, and will designate a different
Applicable Lending Office for the Advances affected by such event if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, violate any law, rule, or
regulation or be in any way disadvantageous to such Lender, provided that such
Lender shall have no obligation to so designate an Applicable Lending Office
located in the United States of America. Each Lender

                                       36
<PAGE>
will furnish the Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and the
amount of each request of such Lender for compensation under this Section
5.1(a). If any Lender requests compensation from the Borrower under this Section
5.1(a), the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Agent)
suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue making, or Convert
Advances into, Advances of the Type with respect to which such compensation is
requested until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be
in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof shall be
applicable).

Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1, in
the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs
Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of
the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which
includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Advances
is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of
credit or other assets of such Lender which includes Eurodollar Advances or (ii)
becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities
or assets which it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or
Continue making, or Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Advances hereunder shall
be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case
the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof shall be applicable).

Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 5.1 of
the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations
to make Eurodollar Advances or of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances or
on amounts receivable by it in respect of Eurodollar Advances, and of the
additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of any
Additional Costs, shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and
allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

Limitation on Types of Advances. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if with respect to any Eurodollar Advances for any Interest
Period therefor:

The Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations
of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of
"Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof are not being provided in the relative
amounts or for the relative maturities for purposes of determining the rate of
interest for such Advances as provided in this Agreement; or

Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) and notify the Agent that the relevant rates of interest
referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof on the
basis of which the rate of interest for such Advances for such Interest Period
is to be determined do not accurately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making
or maintaining such Advances for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying the
relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such condition remains in effect,
the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Advances
or to Convert Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Advances and the Borrower
shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the
outstanding Eurodollar Advances, either prepay such Eurodollar Advances or
Convert such Eurodollar Advances into Base Rate Advances in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

                                       37
<PAGE>
Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event
that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to (a)
honor its obligation to make Eurodollar Advances hereunder or (b) maintain
Eurodollar Advances hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) thereof and such Lender's obligation to make
or maintain Eurodollar Advances and to Convert Base Rate Advances into
Eurodollar Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Lender
may again make and maintain Eurodollar Advances (in which case the provisions of
Section 5.4 hereof shall be applicable).

Treatment of Affected Advances. If the Eurodollar Advances of any Lender (such
Eurodollar Advances being hereinafter called "Affected Advances") are to be
Converted pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.3 hereof, such Lender's Affected Advances
shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Advances on the last day(s) of
the then current Interest Period(s) for the Affected Advances (or, in the case
of a Conversion required by Section 5.1(b) or 5.3 hereof, on such earlier date
as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless
and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances
specified in Section 5.1 or 5.3 hereof which gave rise to such Conversion no
longer exist:

To the extent that such Lender's Affected Advances have been so Converted, all
payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such
Lender's Affected Advances shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Advances;
and

All Affected Advances which would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender
as Eurodollar Advances shall be made as or Converted into Base Rate Advances and
all Affected Advances of such Lender which would otherwise be Converted into
Eurodollar Advances shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base
Rate Advances.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the
circumstances specified in Section 5.1 or 5.3 hereof which gave rise to the
Conversion of such Lender's Affected Advances pursuant to this Section 5.4 no
longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances
ceasing to exist) at a time when Affected Advances are outstanding, such
Lender's Base Rate Advances shall be automatically Converted, on the first
day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Affected
Advances to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all
Eurodollar Advances held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Advances and by such
Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, and Interest Periods) in
accordance with their respective Commitments.

Compensation. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each
Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or
amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to
compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by it as a result of:

Any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a Eurodollar Advance for any reason
(including, without limitation, the acceleration of the outstanding Advances
pursuant to Section 11.2) on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period for such Eurodollar Advance; or

Any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the
failure of any conditions precedent specified in Article VI to be satisfied) to
borrow, Convert, or prepay a

                                       38
<PAGE>
Eurodollar Advance on the date for such borrowing, Conversion, or prepayment,
specified in the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, or Conversion under
this Agreement.

Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined
that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its parent) with any guideline,
request, or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of law) of any central bank or other Governmental Authority, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's (or its
parent's) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or the
transactions contemplated hereby to a level below that which such Lender (or its
parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, implementation, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from
time to time, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender (with a copy
to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its parent) for such reduction. A
certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting
forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be
conclusive, provided that the determination thereof is made on a reasonable
basis. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods.

Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. If as a result of any
Regulatory Change there shall be imposed, modified, or deemed applicable any
tax, reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement against or with respect to
or measured by reference to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder
or the Issuing Bank's commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, and the
result shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit or its commitment to issue Letters of Credit
hereunder or reduce any amount receivable by the Issuing Bank hereunder in
respect of any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost, or reduction in amount
receivable, shall be the result of the Issuing Bank's reasonable allocation of
the aggregate of such increases or reductions resulting from such event), then,
upon demand by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower agrees to pay the Issuing Bank,
from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank, such additional amounts as
shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank for such increased costs or
reductions in amount. A statement as to such increased costs or reductions in
amount incurred by the Issuing Bank, submitted by the Issuing Bank to the
Borrower, shall be conclusive as to the amount thereof, provided that the
determination thereof is made on a reasonable basis.

Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC under ERISA. Neither the

Act (Chapter 371 of the Texas Finance Code), the consumer loan provisions of the

         under subsection (d) or (e) of Section 11.1, the Commitments of all of
         the Lenders and the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of
         Credit shall automatically terminate, and the outstanding principal of
         and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and all other obligations
         of the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall thereupon become
         immediately due and payable without notice, demand, presentment, notice
         of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate,
         protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby
         expressly waived by the Borrower.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the
Borrower (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by the Borrower), to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing
by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any
and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement, such Lender's Note, or any other Loan Document, irrespective of
whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or such Lender's Note or such other Loan Document and although such
obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower
(with a copy to the Agent and to each Lender) after any such setoff and
application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and

                                       57
<PAGE>

application. The rights and remedies of each Lender hereunder are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
setoff) which such Lender may have.

Cash Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
the Borrower shall, if requested by the Agent or Required Lenders, pledge to the
Agent as security for the Obligations an amount in immediately available funds
equal to the then outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities, such funds to be
held in a cash collateral account at the Agent without any right of withdrawal
by the Borrower.

Performance by the Agent. If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant or
agreement in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the Agent may, at
the direction of Required Lenders, perform or attempt to perform such covenant
or agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In such event, the Borrower shall, at
the request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the
Agent or the Lenders in connection with such performance or attempted
performance to the Agent at the Principal Office, together with interest thereon
at the Default Rate from and including the date of such expenditure to but
excluding the date such expenditure is paid in full. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is expressly agreed that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall
have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of
the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

by it and the Notes issued to it, Wells Fargo Bank Texas, National Association
in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
acting as the Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the

Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender)
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, provide
merchant banking services to, and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any other Obligated Party, and any other
Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower, any
Subsidiary, or any other Obligated Party, all as if it were not acting as the
Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment of any
principal of or interest on any Advance made by it under this Agreement or
payment of any other obligation under the Loan Documents then owed by the
Borrower or any other Obligated Party to such Lender, whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's lien,
counterclaim or similar right, or otherwise, in excess of its pro rata share
(calculated (i) pursuant to Section 3.5 in respect of letter of credit fees, and
(ii) for all other of the Primary Obligations on the basis of the unpaid
principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loan, the Tranche B Loan, the
Swing Loan, LC Participations and SL Participations held by it), such Lender
shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in the Primary
Obligations owed to them hereunder in such amounts, and make such other
adjustments from time to time as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other Lenders in
accordance with its pro rata portion thereof. To such end, all of the Lenders
shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of
participations sold or otherwise) if all or any portion of such excess payment
is thereafter rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees, to
the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
Lender so purchasing a participation in the Advances and LC Participations made
by the other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker's lien,
counterclaim, or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were a direct holder of Advances to, or Letter of Credit
Disbursements for the account of, the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any
such right

                                       60
<PAGE>

or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of
exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation
of the Borrower.

Indemnification. THE LENDERS HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE AGENT AND THE ISSUING
BANK FROM AND HOLD THE AGENT AND THE ISSUING BANK HARMLESS AGAINST (TO THE
EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED UNDER SECTIONS 13.1 AND 13.2, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER UNDER SECTIONS 13.1 AND 13.2), RATABLY IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMITMENTS, ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES,
DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, DEFICIENCIES, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES
(INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES), AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE AGENT
AND THE ISSUING BANK IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY THE AGENT AND THE
ISSUING BANK UNDER OR IN RESPECT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF THE FOREGOING TO THE
EXTENT CAUSED BY THE AGENT'S OR THE ISSUING BANK'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS SECTION, EACH LENDER
AGREES TO REIMBURSE THE AGENT AND THE ISSUING BANK PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS
PRO RATA SHARE (CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF THE COMMITMENTS) OF ANY AND ALL
OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) INCURRED BY THE
AGENT AND THE ISSUING BANK IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION,
DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER
THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN
RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE AGENT OR THE ISSUING BANK IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH EXPENSES BY THE
BORROWER.

Independent Credit Decisions. Each Lender agrees that it has independently and
without reliance on the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis of the Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any other Lender, and based upon such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as
to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Obligated Party of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or to inspect the properties or books of
the Borrower or any Obligated Party. Except for notices, reports and other
documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank by the Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,
neither the Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Lender with any credit or other financial information concerning the
affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any Obligated Party
(or any of their Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates.

                                       61
<PAGE>

Several Commitments. The Commitments and other obligations of the Lenders under
this Agreement are several. The default by any Lender in making an Advance in
accordance with its Commitment shall not relieve the other Lenders of their
obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any default by any Lender in
making any Advance, each nondefaulting Lender shall be obligated to make its
Advance but shall not be obligated to advance the amount which the defaulting
Lender was required to advance hereunder. In no event shall any Lender be
required to advance an amount or amounts which shall in the aggregate exceed
such Lender's Commitment. No Lender shall be responsible for any act or omission
of any other Lender.

Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent
as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to
the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower and the Agent may be removed at
any time with or without cause by Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or
removal, the Required Lenders will have the right to appoint a successor Agent.
If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's
giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring
Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized
under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and having
combined capital and surplus of at least One $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance
of its appointment as successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges, immunities,
and duties of the resigning or removed Agent, and the resigning or removed Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. After any Agent's resignation or removal as Agent, the
provisions of this Article XII shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Agent. After the retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent,
each reference herein to a place of giving of notice or delivery to the Agent
shall be deemed to refer to the principal office of the successor Agent as it
may specify to each party hereto.

         In the event that the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders,
elects or is required to proceed with a foreclosure or other enforcement of any
Lien granted to the Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, the Agent
may, without in any manner limiting its available remedies, and at the request
of the Required Lenders shall, submit a bid for all Lenders (including itself)
in the form of a credit against the Obligations, and the Agent or its designee,
in the event that the Agent or its designee is the successful bidder at any such
foreclosure sale, shall accept title, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders,
to the Collateral sold at such foreclosure sale. The Collateral purchased at any
such sale held shall be owned by the Agent, or its designee, for the benefit of
the Lenders. All monies received or collected by the Agent in respect of the
Collateral in connection with a foreclosure sale, or any other disposition of
the Collateral, shall be paid to the Lenders pro-rata consistent with Section
4.4 hereof.

Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any
Obligated Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance
or Letter of Credit Liabilities shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent
shall have

                                       62
<PAGE>

made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances, Letter of Credit Liabilities and
all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and
the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective
agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under
Sections 2.10 and 13.1) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to
the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.10 and 13.1.

         Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations
or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the
claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

         Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the
Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any
Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all
Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the
expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be
sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 13.10, if approved, authorized
or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and

to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

         Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 12.9.

Miscellaneous

Expenses. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay on demand: (a) all reasonable costs
and expenses of the Agent and the Issuing Bank in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, execution, and

                                       63

connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including without
limitation all reasonable costs and expenses associated with appraisals,

therein.

INDEMNIFICATION. THE BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY THE AGENT, THE ISSUING
BANK AND EACH LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS
AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS,
DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) TO
WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT WHICH DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE FROM OR
RELATE TO (a) THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, ADMINISTRATION,
OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (b) ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (c) ANY BREACH BY THE BORROWER OF ANY
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, OR OTHER AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS, (d) THE PRESENCE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, DISPOSAL,
REMOVAL, OR CLEANUP OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL LOCATED ON, ABOUT, WITHIN, OR

DEDUCTIONS, AND CHARGES IMPOSED ON THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE ISSUING BANK'S
CORRESPONDENTS IN RESPECT OF ANY LETTER OF CREDIT, OR (g) ANY INVESTIGATION,
LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED
INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING
AND ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY COURT ORDER, INJUNCTION OR OTHER
PROCESS OR DECREE RESTRAINING OR SEEKING TO RESTRAIN THE ISSUING BANK FROM
PAYING ANY AMOUNT UNDER ANY LETTER OF CREDIT. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF
THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE
PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE
INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES,
CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES
(INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) ARISING

                                       64
<PAGE>

OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON;
PROVIDED HOWEVER, NO PERSON SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER FOR ITS OWN GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Limitation of Liability. None of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any
Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent thereof shall have
any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and
agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect,
incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any
damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with Swing Loan
Advances made by telephonic notice pursuant to Section 2.8(a) hereto, except for
such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons
and consultants retained by the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall
have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of
care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the
Borrower or any of the Borrower's shareholders or any other Person.

No Fiduciary Relationship. The relationship between the Borrower and each of the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders is solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither
the Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender has any fiduciary or other special
relationship with the Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Loan
Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between the Borrower
and any of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to be other than that of debtor and
creditor.

Equitable Relief. The Borrower recognizes that in the event the Borrower fails
to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Obligations, any remedy
at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders. The Borrower therefore agrees that the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders, if the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders so request, shall be
entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without
the necessity of proving actual damages.

No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of
dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or
privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies
provided by law.

         Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The Borrower may not assign
or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and all of the Lenders. Any Lender may
sell participations to one or more banks or other institutions in or to all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan

                                       65
<PAGE>

Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments
and the Advances owing to it and the LC Participations held by it); provided,
however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower for
the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder
of its Note and LC Participations for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the
Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and (v) such Lender shall not sell a participation
that conveys to the participant the right to vote or give or withhold consents
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, other than the right to vote
upon or consent to (A) any increase of such Lender's Commitments, (B) any
reduction of the principal amount of, or interest to be paid on, the Advances
and LC Participations of such Lender, (C) any reduction of any commitment fee or
other amount payable to such Lender under any Loan Document, or (D) any
postponement of any date for the payment of any amount payable in respect of the
Advances or LC Participations of such Lender.

The Borrower and each of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agree that any Lender
(the "Assigning Lender") may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, its Commitments and Advances and LC Participations) (each an
"Assignee"); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a
consistent, and not a varying, percentage of all of the Assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii)
except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the amount of the Commitments
of the Assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each assignment (determined
as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment)
shall in no event be less than $2,500,000, and (iii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent for its acceptance and
recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with the Note subject to such assignment, and a processing and
recordation fee of $3,000. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance, and
recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the
execution thereof, or, if so specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the
date of acceptance thereof by the Agent, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto as a "Lender" and, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the Loan
Documents and (y) the Assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment
and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an Assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Assigning Lender shall
cease to be a party thereto).

By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Assigning Lender
and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other
parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and
Acceptance, such Assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties, or
representations made in or in connection with the Loan Documents or the

                                       66
<PAGE>

execution, legality, validity, and enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or
value of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant thereto; (ii) such Assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty
and assures no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the
Borrower or any Obligated Party or the performance or observance by the Borrower
or any Obligated Party of its obligations under the Loan Documents; (iii) such
assignee confirms that it has received a copy of the Loan Documents, together
with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 7.2 and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv)
such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee
appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and
exercise such powers under the Loan Documents are as delegated to the Agent by
the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with
their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are
required to be performed by it as a Lender.

The Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and
Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal
amount of the Advances owing to, and LC Participations held by, each Lender from
time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes under the Loan
Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any
Lender or the Issuing Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assigning Lender
and assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any
Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and
Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit G
hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information
contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof
to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the
Borrower, at its expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for
the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an
amount equal to the Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance and, if the Assigning Lender has retained a Commitment, a new Note to
the order of the Assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments retained
by it hereunder (each such promissory note shall constitute a "Note" for
purposes of the Loan Documents). Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of the surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of
such Assignment and Acceptance, and shall otherwise be in substantially the form
of Exhibit A or B, as applicable.

Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee
or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries.

Survival. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in
connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation by the Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and
warranties or the right of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to rely
upon them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of the
Borrower hereunder, the obligations of the Borrower under Article V and Sections
13.1 and 13.2 shall survive repayment of the Notes and termination of the
Commitments and the Letters of Credit.

Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the
Notes, or any other Loan Document to which the Borrower or any Obligated Party
is a party, nor any consent to any departure by the Borrower or Obligated Party
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be agreed or
consented to by Required Lenders and the Borrower or the Obligated Party, as
applicable, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that
no amendment, waiver, or consent shall: (a) increase the Commitment of any
Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligations without the written
consent of such Lender; (b) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes
or any fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or
under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby; (c) postpone any date fixed for any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Notes or Letter of Credit Disbursements or any
fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any
other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby; (d) waive any of the conditions specified in Article VI without the
written consent of each Lender; (e) change the percentage of the Commitments or
of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes or Letter of Credit
Liabilities or the number of Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or
any of them to take any action under this Agreement without the written consent
of each Lender; (f) change any provision contained in this Section 13.10 without
the written consent of each Lender; (g) release the Borrower from any of its
obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or release any
Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty without the written consent of
each Lender; and (h) release any Collateral securing the Obligations except in
accordance with and as contemplated by the Loan Documents without the written
consent of each Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section, no amendment, waiver, or consent shall be made (a) with respect to
Article XII hereof without the prior written consent of the Agent, (b) with
respect to Section 2.8 hereof without the prior written consent of the Swing
Lender, or (c) with respect to Article III hereof without the prior written
consent of the Issuing Bank.

Maximum Interest Rate. No provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan
Document shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in
such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided,
in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the
provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither the Borrower nor
the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of the Borrower shall be
obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid
for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the
event any Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum,
such amount which would be in excess of the maximum

                                       68
<PAGE>

amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction
of the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and the LC
Participations; and, if the principal of the Notes and the LC Participations has
been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower.
In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the Borrower and each Lender shall, to the extent permitted by 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) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of
interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced
by the Notes and LC Participations so that interest for the entire term does not
exceed the Maximum Rate.

Notices. Except as provided in Sections 2.8 and 8.1(m), all notices and other
communications provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which the Borrower or any Guarantor is a party shall be given or made by telex,
telegraph, telecopy, cable, electronic mail or other electronic media or in
writing and telexed, telecopied, telegraphed, cabled, mailed by certified mail
return receipt requested, or delivered to the intended recipient at the "Address
for Notices" specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or any other
Loan Document, or, as to any party at such other address as shall be designated
by such party in a notice to each other party given in accordance with this
Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such communications
shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telex or telecopy or
electronic mail or other electronic media, subject to telephone confirmation of
receipt, or delivered to the telegraph or cable office electronic mail address,
subject to telephone confirmation of receipt, or when personally delivered or,
in the case of a mailed notice, when duly deposited in the mails, in each case
given or addressed as aforesaid; provided, however, notices to the Agent
pursuant to Article II and to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Article III shall not
be effective until received by the Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable.

Governing Law; Venue; Service of Process. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the
applicable laws of the United States of America. This Agreement has been entered
into in Travis County, Texas, and it shall be performable for all purposes in
Travis County, Texas. Subject to Section 13.14 of this Agreement, any action or
proceeding against the Borrower under or in connection with any of the Loan
Documents may be brought in any state or federal court in Travis County, Texas.
The Borrower hereby irrevocably (a) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of
such courts, and (b) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the
venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court or that any
such court is an inconvenient forum. The Borrower agrees that service of process
upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
at its address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.12. Nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall affect
the right of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender to bring any action or proceeding against the Borrower or
with respect to any of its property in courts in other jurisdictions. Subject to
Section 13.14 of this Agreement, any action or proceeding by the Borrower
against the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be brought only in a
court located in Travis County, Texas.

         Binding Arbitration.

Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to
binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them
(and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other
agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in
any way (i) the loan and related Loan Documents which are the subject of this
Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration,
repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement,
enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in
Texas selected by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); (ii) be governed
by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code),
notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents
between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other
administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the
AAA's commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim
is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and
costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the
AAA's optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial
dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex
commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the "Rules"). If there
is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and
procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to
submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs
and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any
dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party
that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. Section 91 or
any similar applicable state law.

No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration
requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real
or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to
collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii)
obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief,
attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency
of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of
the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or
reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions
detailed in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 13.14(c).

Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the
amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single
arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of
greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy
exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three
arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively
participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral
attorney licensed in the State of Texas with a minimum of ten years experience
in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be
arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is
arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining
any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by
documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator's discretion) any pre-hearing
motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or
motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in
accordance with the substantive law of Texas and may grant any remedy or relief
that

                                       70
<PAGE>

a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such
ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator
shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose
sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the
same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the
Texas Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The
institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a
provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of
any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to
arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in
accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters
directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later
than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the
dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or
any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator
upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party's
presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is
available.

Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of any dispute arising
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by a separate
arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other
disputes or included in any class proceeding.

Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and
expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and
the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration
proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No
arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the
existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by
a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or
regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties
potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly
related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall
control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or
expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. Signatures hereby transmitted by facsimile or other
electronic means shall be effective as originals.

Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the
remainder of this Agreement and the effect thereof shall be confined to the
provision held to be invalid or illegal.

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

                                       71

Non-Application of Chapter 346 of Texas Finance Code. The provisions of Chapter
346 of the Texas Finance Code are specifically declared by the parties hereto
not to be applicable to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to
the transactions contemplated hereby.

Construction. The Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender
acknowledges that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own
choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties
hereto.

Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent
effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of
such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be
otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.

Confidentiality. The Agent and each Lender (each, a "Lending Party") agrees to
keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement that is marked confidential; provided that
nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from disclosing such information
(a) to any other Lending Party or any affiliate of any Lending Party, or any
officer, director, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lending Party or affiliate
of any Lending Party, (b) to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the
administration of the credit facility provided herein, (c) as required by any
law, rule, or regulation, (d) upon the order of any court or administrative
agency, (e) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority,
(f) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available
to any Lending Party other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lending Party
prohibited by this Agreement, (g) in connection with any litigation to which
such Lending Party or any of its affiliates may be a party, (h) to the extent
necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, and (i) subject to provisions substantially similar to
those contained in this Section, to any actual or proposed participant or
assignee.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF
THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT,
TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE AGENT, THE ISSUING
BANK, OR ANY LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
REFERRED TO HEREIN REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND
MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR
SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.

Amendment and Restatement; Release. This Agreement amends and restates in its
entirety the Existing Credit Agreement. The execution of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents

                                       72
<PAGE>

executed in connection herewith does not extinguish the indebtedness outstanding
in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement nor does it constitute a
novation with respect to such indebtedness. THE BORROWER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS
THAT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF THERE ARE NO CLAIMS OR OFFSETS AGAINST OR DEFENSES OR
COUNTERCLAIMS TO ITS OR ANY OBLIGATED PARTIES' OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE EXISTING
CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE DOCUMENTATION RELATING TO THE

THE LENDERS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER AND, BY THE EXECUTION OF
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY, EACH OBLIGATED PARTY WAIVES ANY AND
ALL CLAIMS, OFFSETS, DEFENSES OR COUNTERCLAIMS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN,
ARISING PRIOR TO THE DATE HEREOF AND HEREBY RELEASES THE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE
ISSUING BANK AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND
ATTORNEYS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "RELEASED PARTIES") FROM ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS,
INDEBTEDNESS, LIABILITY, CLAIMS, RIGHTS, CAUSES OF ACTION OR DEMANDS WHATSOEVER,
WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED WHICH THE BORROWER OR ANY
OBLIGATED PARTY EVER HAD, NOW HAS, CLAIMS TO HAVE OR MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY
RELEASED PARTY ARISING PRIOR TO THE DATE HEREOF OR FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTATION RELATING TO THE
DEPOSIT AND CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

                FIRST AMENDMENT TO PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT,
                         AND LENDER'S CONSENT AND WAIVER

         THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, FIRST AMENDMENT TO PLEDGE
AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND LENDER'S CONSENT (this "Amendment") is dated
effective September 30, 2002, by and among TYLER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Borrower") and BANK OF TEXAS, N.A., a national banking association
("Lender").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, Borrower and Lender entered into that certain Credit
Agreement, dated February 27, 2002, pursuant to which Lender agreed to make the
Loan (as therein defined) available to Borrower (as heretofore or hereafter
amended, the "Credit Agreement") (each capitalized term used herein, but not
otherwise defined shall have the same meaning given to it in the Credit
Agreement); and

         WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement has been amended by that certain First
Amendment to Credit Agreement dated March 5, 2002 whereby Lender and Borrower
agreed to (i) increase the principal amount of the Loan from $8,000,000 to
$10,000,000, and (ii) delete the $5,000,000 limit on the aggregate amount of
Letter of Credit Exposure; and

         WHEREAS, to secure the Loan, Borrower and Lender entered into that
certain Pledge and Security Agreement dated February 27, 2002 (the "Pledge
Agreement") whereby Borrower pledged as security, among other things, all of its
shares of stock in H.T.E., Inc. ("HTE"); and

         WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender: (i) allow Borrower to
repurchase up to 1,500,000 shares of outstanding Borrower stock; (ii) return
stock certificate number 2391, representing 4,650,000 shares of HTE stock, and
stock certificate number 2416, representing 968,952 shares of HTE stock
(collectively referred to herein as the "HTE Stock Certificates"), for the
purpose of allowing HTE to reissue the shares in smaller denominations; and
(iii) amend the Credit Agreement to: (a) allow Borrower to sell up to $1,000,000
of HTE stock per fiscal year, and (b) reduce the Minimum Tangible Net Worth
Covenant for the quarter ending September 30, 2002; and

         WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, Lender
is willing to agree to such requests.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, conditions and
agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are all hereby acknowledged, Borrower and
Lender hereby covenant and agree as follows:

                    ARTICLE I - AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

SECTION 1.1 SALE OF HTE STOCK. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to include
after Section 9.12 the following:

                  convey shares of HTE, Inc. owned by Borrower; provided,
                  however, that Borrower shall be permitted to sell, transfer or
                  convey, without Lender's consent, any such shares of HTE, Inc.
                  and, concurrently therewith Lender shall release such shares
                  as are sold, transferred or conveyed in compliance

<PAGE>
                  with this Section 9.13 from the Liens of the Loan Documents
                  so long as: (i) the proceeds from such sale, transfer or
                  conveyance do not exceed, in the aggregate, $1,000,000 during
                  any fiscal year, (ii) at the time of any such sale, no Default
                  or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the
                  Credit Agreement and (iii) Borrower gives Lender five (5)
                  Business Day's prior written notice of any such sale and
                  reimburses Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in
                  connection with the return of the stock certificates
                  evidencing the shares so sold, transferred or conveyed.

SECTION 1.2 MINIMUM TANGIBLE NET WORTH COVENANT. Section 9.9(a) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby deleted and restated as follows:

                  (a) Tangible Net Worth on the last day of any fiscal quarter
                  to be less than the sum of (i) the amount equal to eighty nine
                  and eight tenths percent (89.8%) of Borrower's consolidated
                  Tangible Net Worth computed as of September 30, 2002, plus
                  (ii) as of the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with
                  December 31, 2002, the product of (A) ninety percent (90%)
                  times (b) the consolidated net income of Borrower for the
                  immediately preceding fiscal quarter, provided, that in no
                  case shall such sum be less than the minimum Tangible Net
                  Worth calculated hereunder for the previous quarter.

                         ARTICLE II - CONSENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 2.1 REPURCHASE OF OUTSTANDING STOCK. The Credit Agreement provides,
among other things, that, without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower
shall declare no Distribution nor make any Investment, prior to payment in full
of the Obligations owed to Lender, and the termination of Lender's Commitment,
under the Credit Agreement. Borrower has requested Lender's consent to
Borrower's repurchase of up to 1,500,000 shares of outstanding stock in Borrower
during the period from August 15, 2002 to November 30, 2002 (the "Targeted
Repurchase"). Lender hereby consents to the Targeted Repurchase and waives any
Default or Event of Default that may have occurred as a result of any portion of
the Targeted Repurchase occurring prior to the effective date of this Amendment;
provided that such waiver shall be limited to the Targeted Repurchase and shall
not constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 2.2 HTE STOCK CERTIFICATES. Borrower has also requested that Lender
return to Borrower the HTE Stock Certificates so that HTE may reissue the shares
in smaller denominations (the "Reissued Shares"). Lender hereby consents to such
request. Upon receipt of the Reissued Shares, Borrower is hereby required to
forward such Reissued Shares to Lender, together with appropriate stock powers.
This consent and the temporary return of the HTE Stock Certificates do not
constitute a release of lien against the shares evidenced by the HTE Stock
Certificates.

SECTION 2.3 LIMITATION ON CONSENT. The consents granted in this Amendment are
limited to the foregoing actions and neither consent constitutes a waiver of any
required consent with respect to any other action.

            ARTICLE III - AMENDMENT TO PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

SECTION 3.1 EXHIBIT "E". Borrower and Lender hereby agree that Exhibit "E" of
the Pledge Agreement shall be amended upon Lender's receipt of the Reissued
Shares to Lender. Lender shall record the certificate number and number of
shares represented by each of the Reissued Shares on Exhibit "E" and shall
forward a revised Exhibit "E" to Borrower.

                           ARTICLE IV - MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 4.1 CONDITION TO CLOSING; FURTHER ASSURANCES. As a condition to the
closing of this Amendment, Borrower shall execute and deliver this Amendment and
such other documents as may be necessary or as may be required, in the opinion
of counsel to Lender, to effect the transactions contemplated hereby and
continue the liens and/or security interests of all other collateral
instruments, as modified by this Amendment. Borrower also agrees to provide to
Lenders such other documents and instruments as Lenders reasonably may request
in connection with the modification of the Loans effected hereby.

SECTION 4.2 CONTINUING EFFECT. Except as modified and amended hereby, the Credit
Agreement and other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect
in accordance with their terms.

SECTION 4.3 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses of Lender's counsel and other expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with this Amendment.

SECTION 4.4 BINDING AGREEMENT. This Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall
inure to the benefit of, the parties' respective representatives, successors and
assigns.

SECTION 4.5 NO DEFENSES. Borrower by its execution of this Amendment, hereby
declares that it has no set-offs, counterclaims, defenses or other causes of
action against Lender arising out of the Loan, this Amendment or otherwise; and,
to the extent any such setoffs, counterclaims, defenses or other causes of
action may exist, whether known or unknown, such items are hereby waived by
Borrower.

SECTION 4.6 USURY SAVINGS CLAUSE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Amendment, the Note or any other Loan Document, or in any other agreement
entered into in connection with the Note or securing the indebtedness evidenced
by the Note, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or
oral, it is agreed that the aggregate of all interest and other charges
constituting interest, or adjudicated as constituting interest, and contracted
for, chargeable or receivable under the Note or otherwise in connection with the
Note shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted
by applicable law. In the event the maturity of the Note is accelerated by
reason of an election by the holder thereof resulting from a default thereunder
or under any other document executed as security therefore or in connection
therewith, or by voluntary prepayment by the maker, or otherwise, then earned
interest may never include more than the maximum rate of interest permitted by
applicable law. If from any circumstance any holder of any of the Note shall
ever receive interest or any other charges constituting interest, or adjudicated
as constituting interest, the amount, if any, which would exceed the maximum
rate of interest permitted by applicable law shall be applied to the reduction
of the principal amount owing on such Note or on account of any other principal
indebtedness of the maker to the holders of such Note, and not to the payment of
interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal
thereof and such other indebtedness, the amount of such excessive interest that
exceeds the unpaid balance of principal thereof and such other indebtedness
shall be refunded to the maker. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder
of the Note for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of the
maker to the holder of such Note shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and
spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full for
the purpose of determining the actual rate on such indebtedness is uniform
throughout the term thereof.

         The terms "maximum amount" or "maximum rate" as used in this Amendment
or the Note, or in any other agreement entered into in connection with the Note
or securing the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether written or oral, include, as to Chapter 303 of the
Texas Finance Code (and as same may be incorporated by reference in other
statutes of the State of

Texas), but otherwise without limitation, that rate based upon the "weekly
ceiling"; provided, however, that this designation shall not preclude the rate
of interest contracted for, charged or received in connection with the Loan from
being governed by, or construed in accordance with, any other state or federal
law.

SECTION 4.7 COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in several
counterparts, all of which are identical, each of which shall be deemed an
original, and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the
same instrument, it being understood and agreed that the signature pages may be
detached from one or more of such counterparts and combined with the signature
pages from any other counterpart in order that one or more fully executed
originals may be assembled.

SECTION 4.8 CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT FEDERAL
LAWS PREEMPT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

SECTION 4.9 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Amendment, together with the other Loan
Documents, contain the entire agreements between the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and thereof. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents
may be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated only by a
written instrument or instruments, executed by the party against which
enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or
termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge,
release or termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to
any party.

         THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREIN CONTAINED 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
