third Business Day preceding the date on which funds are requested (the "Loan Date") for any

excluding) the date Agent recovers the amount from that Lender, or (ii), if that Lender fails to pay

its amount upon demand, then from Borrower, together with interest at an annual interest rate equal

to the rate applicable to the requested Loan during the period commencing on the Loan Date and

ending on (but excluding) the date Agent recovers the amount from Borrower. No Lender is

responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fund any part of any Loan.

2.3 L/C Subfacility.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and applicable Law, Agent

agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set out in this Section 2.3, to issue L/Cs

denominated in U.S. Dollars under the Facility upon Borrower's delivery of an L/C Request and an

L/C Agreement, each of which must be received by Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. on the third

Commitment Usage may not exceed the Total Commitment after giving effect to the issuance of

such L/C. Each L/C (other than the Bond L/Cs) must expire no later than 13 months from its

issuance; provided that any L/C (other than the Bond L/Cs) may, at Borrower's request, provide

that it is self-extending upon its expiration date for successive periods of 6 to 12 months each (as

selected by Borrower), unless Agent has given the beneficiary thereunder at least 30 days (but no

more than 120 days) prior written notice to the contrary (provided, however, that such notice shall

in no event be given by Agent unless (i) Agent is directed so to do by Borrower, (ii) a Default exists,

or (iii) such extension would extend the expiration date beyond the Termination Date). Amounts

drawn under the Bond L/Cs are subject to reinstatement upon the terms set forth therein. In no event

may any L/C have an expiration date later than the Termination Date.

(b) Immediately upon Agent's issuance of any L/C, Agent shall be deemed to have sold

and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally

to have purchased and received from Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and

participation (to the extent of such Lender's Pro Rata Part) in the L/C and all applicable Rights of

Agent in the L/C (other than Rights to receive the fronting fees provided for in Section 4.3). Agent

shall provide copies of L/Cs to Lenders upon request and shall distribute quarterly schedules of the

outstanding L/Cs to each Lender.

in issued L/Cs, Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Agent (i) on or before the date when any draft,

draw or other form of demand is presented under any L/C, the amount paid or to be paid by Agent

(subject to a credit, in the case of a Bond L/C, for any portion of such reimbursement received by

Agent directly from the relevant Trustee for the account of Borrower under the relevant Indenture)

and (ii) promptly, upon demand, the amount of any additional fees Agent customarily charges for the

application and issuance of an L/C, for amending L/C Agreements, for honoring drafts, draws or

other forms of demands, and taking similar action in connection with letters of credit. If Borrower

(or, in the case of a drawing under a Bond L/C, the relevant Trustee) has not reimbursed Agent for

any drafts or draws or other forms of demands paid or to be paid and Borrower has not requested

a Loan to fund such reimbursement obligations within 24 hours following Agent's demand for

reimbursement, Agent is irrevocably authorized to fund Borrower's reimbursement obligations as a

Loan under this Agreement (and the proceeds of the Loan shall be advanced directly to Agent to pay

Borrower's unpaid reimbursement obligations). If funds cannot be advanced because the Facility

has been terminated under Section 12.1, then Borrower's reimbursement obligation shall constitute

a demand obligation. Borrower's obligations under this Section 2.3(c) are absolute and unconditional

under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense (other than

payment) that Borrower may have at any time against Agent or any other Person. Agent shall

promptly distribute reimbursement payments received from Borrower to all Lenders according to

their Pro Rata Part. From the date due to the date paid, unpaid reimbursement amounts accrue

interest that is payable on demand at the Default Rate.

(d) Agent shall promptly notify Borrower of the date and amount of any draft, draw or

other form of demand presented for honor under any L/C and the date and amount of any payment

by Agent in connection therewith (but failure to give notice will not affect Borrower's obligations

under this Agreement). Agent shall pay the requested amount upon presentment of a draft, draw or

other form of demand, unless presentment on its face does not comply with the terms of the

applicable L/C. When making payment, Agent may disregard (i) any default or potential default that

exists under any other agreement and (ii) obligations under any other agreement that have or have

not been performed by the beneficiary or any other Person (and Agent is not liable for any of those

obligations). Borrower's reimbursement obligations to Agent and Lenders, and each Lender's

obligations to Agent, under this Section 2.3 are absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and Agent

is not responsible for, (i) the validity, enforceability, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of

documents or endorsements (even if they are in any respect invalid, unenforceable, insufficient,

inaccurate, fraudulent or forged), (ii) any dispute by any Company with or any Company's claims,

setoffs, defenses (other than payment), counterclaims or other Rights against Agent, any Lender

or any other Person, or (iii) the occurrence of any Potential Default or Default.

(e) If Borrower (or, in the case of a drawing under a Bond L/C, the relevant Trustee)

fails to reimburse Agent as provided in Section 2.3(c) within 24 hours after Agent's demand for

reimbursement, and funds cannot be advanced under this Agreement to satisfy the reimbursement

obligations, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of Borrower's failure, of the date and amount

paid, and of each Lender's Pro Rata Part of the unreimbursed amount. Each Lender shall promptly

and unconditionally make available to Agent in immediately available funds such Pro Rata Part of the

unpaid reimbursement obligation. Funds are due and payable to Agent before the close of business

on the Business Day when Agent gives notice to each Lender of Borrower's reimbursement failure

(if notice is received by such Lender before 2:00 p.m.) (in the time zone where such Lender's office

listed on Schedule 1 is located) or on the next succeeding Business Day (if received after 2:00 p.m.).

All amounts payable by any Lender accrue interest at the Federal Funds Rate from the day the

applicable draft, draw or other form of demand is paid by Agent to (but not including) the date the

amount is paid by the Lender to Agent.

(f) Borrower acknowledges that each L/C is deemed issued upon delivery to the

beneficiary or Borrower. If Borrower requests any L/C be delivered to Borrower rather than the

beneficiary, and Borrower subsequently cancels that L/C, Borrower agrees to return it to Agent

together with Borrower's written certification that it has never been delivered to the beneficiary. If

any L/C is delivered to the beneficiary under Borrower's instructions, Borrower's cancellation is

ineffective without Agent's receipt of the beneficiary's written consent and the L/C. Borrower

shall indemnify Agent for all losses, costs, damages, expenses and reasonable attorneys'

fees suffered or incurred by Agent resulting from any dispute concerning Borrower's

cancellation of any L/C.

(g) Agent agrees with each Lender that it will exercise and give the same care and

attention to each L/C as it gives to its other letters of credit. Each Lender and Borrower agree that,

in paying any draft, draw or other form of demand under any L/C, Agent has no responsibility to

obtain any document (other than any documents expressly required by the respective L/C) or to

ascertain or inquire as to any document's validity, enforceability, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness

or the authority of any Person delivering it. Neither Agent nor its Representatives will be liable to

any Lender or any Company for any L/C's use or for any beneficiary's acts or omissions. Any

action, inaction, error, delay or omission taken or suffered by Agent or any of its Representatives in

connection with any L/C, applicable draws, drafts, other forms of demand or documents, or the

transmission, dispatch or delivery of any related message or advice, if in good faith and in conformity

with applicable Laws and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCP or ISP 98,

as applicable, is binding upon the Companies and Lenders and does not place Agent or any of its

Representatives under any resulting liability to any Company or any Lender. Agent and its

Representatives are not liable to any Company or any Lender for any action taken or

omitted, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, by Agent or its

Representative in connection with any L/C.

(h) On the Termination Date, or during the continuance of any Default under

Section 11.3, or upon any demand by Agent during the continuance of any other Default, Borrower

shall provide to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, cash collateral in an amount equal to the thenexisting

L/C Exposure. Any cash collateral provided by Borrower to Agent hereunder shall be

deposited by Agent in an interest-bearing cash collateral account maintained with Agent at the office

of Agent and invested in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. and, upon cure of any Default

or upon the surrender of any L/C, Agent shall deliver the appropriate funds (together with interest

earned with respect thereto) on deposit in such collateral account to Borrower.

(i) Borrower shall protect, indemnify, pay and save Agent, each Lender and

their respective Representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, demands,

liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'

fees) which any of them may incur or be subject to as a consequence of the issuance of any

L/C, any dispute about it, or the failure of Agent to honor a draft, draw or other form of

demand under any L/C, unless they arise as a result of Agent's failure to act in accordance

with the procedures of the UCP or ISP 98, as applicable, (as modified by any L/C

Agreement or other writing between Borrower and Agent).

(j) Although referenced in any L/C, terms of any particular agreement or other

obligation to the beneficiary are not incorporated into this Agreement in any manner. The fees and

other amounts payable with respect to each L/C are as provided in this Agreement, drafts and draws

and other forms of demands under each L/C are part of the Obligation, and the terms of this

Agreement control any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any L/C Agreement.

(k) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Agent and Borrower when an L/C is issued

(i) the rules of ISP 98 shall apply to each standby L/C, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to

each commercial L/C.

SECTION 3 TERMS OF PAYMENT.

3.1 Notes and Payments.

(a) The Principal Debt shall be evidenced by Notes, payable to each Lender in the stated

principal amount of its Committed Sum.

(b) Borrower must make each payment on the Obligation to Agent's principal office in

Dallas, Texas, in funds that will be available for immediate use by Agent by 12:00 noon on the day

due; otherwise, but subject to Section 3.8, those funds continue to accrue interest as if they were

received on the next Business Day. Agent shall pay to each Lender any payment to which that

Lender is entitled on the same day Agent receives the funds from Borrower if Agent receives the

payment before 12:00 noon, and otherwise before 12:00 noon on the following Business Day. If and

to the extent that Agent does not make payments to Lenders when due, unpaid amounts shall accrue

interest at the Federal Funds Rate from the due date until (but not including) the payment date.

3.2 Interest and Principal Payments; Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

(a) Accrued interest on each LIBOR Loan is due and payable on the last day of its

Interest Period. If any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan is a period greater than three

months, then accrued interest is also due and payable on the date three months after the

commencement of the Interest Period. Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan is due and payable

on each Quarterly Date and on the Termination Date.

(b) The Principal Debt is due and payable on the Termination Date.

Principal Debt in at least the amount of that excess, together with (i) all accrued and unpaid interest

on the principal amount so paid and (ii) any resulting Funding Loss.

(d) Borrower may voluntarily reduce or prepay the Facility as follows:

(i) Without premium or penalty and upon giving at least two Business Days

prior written and irrevocable notice to Agent, Borrower may terminate all or reduce part of

the unused portion of the Total Commitment. Each partial reduction (unless the remaining

portion of such commitment is less) must be in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 or a

greater integral multiple of $1,000,000, and shall be Pro Rata among all Lenders. Once

terminated or reduced, such commitments may not be reinstated or increased.

(ii) Borrower may voluntarily prepay all or any part of the Principal Debt at any

time without premium or penalty, subject to the following conditions:

(A) Agent must receive Borrower's written payment notice (which shall

specify (1) the payment date, and (2) the Type and amount of the Loan(s) to be

paid; such notice shall constitute an irrevocable and binding obligation of Borrower

to make a payment on the designated date) by 1:00 p.m. on (x) the third Business

Day preceding the date of payment of a LIBOR Loan and (y) the date of payment

of a Base Rate Loan;

(B) each partial payment must be in a minimum amount of at least

$500,000 if a Base Rate Loan or $1,000,000 if a LIBOR Loan or, in either case, a

greater integral multiple of $100,000;

also be paid in full on the date of payment; and

(D) Borrower shall pay any related Funding Loss upon demand.

3.3 Interest Options. Except where specifically otherwise provided, Loans bear interest at an

annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or LIBOR plus the

Applicable Margin for the Interest Period, if any, selected by Borrower (in each case as designated or

deemed designated by Borrower), as the case may be, and (b) the Maximum Rate. Each change in the Base

Rate and Maximum Rate is effective, without notice to Borrower or any other Person, upon the effective date

of change.

3.4 Quotation of Rates. A Responsible Officer of Borrower may call Agent before delivering

a Loan Request to receive an indication of the interest rates then in effect, but the indicated rates do not bind

Agent or Lenders or affect the interest rate that is actually in effect when Borrower delivers its Loan Request

or on the Loan Date.

3.5 Default Rate. If permitted by Law, all past-due Principal Debt, Borrower's past-due

payment and reimbursement obligations in connection with L/Cs, and past-due interest accruing on any of the

foregoing bears interest from the date due (stated or by acceleration) at the Default Rate until paid, regardless

whether payment is made before or after entry of a judgment.

3.6 Interest Recapture. If the designated interest rate applicable to any Loan exceeds the

Maximum Rate, the interest rate on that Loan is limited to the Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions

in the designated rate shall not reduce the interest rate thereon below the Maximum Rate until the total

amount of accrued interest equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if that designated rate had

always been in effect. If at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Notes, the total

interest paid or accrued is less than the interest that would have accrued if the designated rates had always

been in effect, then, at that time and to the extent permitted by Law, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to

the difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest that would have accrued if the designated

rates had always been in effect and the amount of interest that would have accrued if the Maximum Rate

had always been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on the Notes.

3.7 Interest Calculations.

(a) Interest will be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed (including

the first day, but excluding the last day), but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days

for LIBOR Loans (unless the calculation would result in an interest rate greater than the Maximum

Rate, in which event interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case

may be), and 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for Base Rate Loans. All interest rate

determinations and calculations by Agent are conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

(b) The provisions of this Agreement relating to calculation of the Base Rate and

LIBOR are included only for the purpose of determining the rate of interest or other amounts to be

paid under this Agreement that are based upon those rates. Each Lender may fund and maintain its

funding of all or any part of each Loan as it selects.

3.8 Maximum Rate. Regardless of any provision contained in any Loan Paper or any document

related thereto, no Lender is entitled to contract for, charge, take, reserve, receive or apply, as interest on all

or any part of the Obligation any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, if Lenders ever do so, then

any excess shall be treated as a partial payment of principal and any remaining excess shall be refunded to

Borrower. In determining if the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lenders

shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) treat all Loans as but a single extension of

credit (and Lenders and Borrower agree that is the case and that provision in this Agreement for multiple

Loans is for convenience only), (b) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium

rather than as interest, (c) exclude voluntary payments and their effects, and (d) amortize, prorate, allocate

and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligation. However,

if the Obligation is paid in full before the end of its full contemplated term, and if the interest received for its

actual period of existence exceeds the Maximum Amount, Lenders shall refund any excess (and Lenders

shall not, to the extent permitted by Law, be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting

for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Amount).

3.9 Interest Periods. When Borrower requests any LIBOR Loan, Borrower may elect the

applicable interest period (each an "Interest Period"), which may be, at Borrower's option, one, two, three

or six months, subject to the following conditions: (a) the initial LIBOR Interest Period commences on the

applicable Loan Date or conversion date, and each subsequent LIBOR Interest Period commences on the

day when the next preceding applicable Interest Period expires; (b) if any LIBOR Interest Period begins on

a day for which no numerically corresponding Business Day in the calendar month at the end of the Interest

Period exists, then the Interest Period ends on the last Business Day of that calendar month; (c) no LIBOR

Interest Period for any portion of Principal Debt may extend beyond the scheduled payment date for that

portion of Principal Debt; and (d) no more than 20 LIBOR Interest Periods may be in effect at one time.

3.10 Conversions. Subject to the dollar limits and denominations of Section 2.1 and the limitations

on LIBOR Interest Periods of Section 3.9, Borrower may (a) convert all or part of a LIBOR Loan on the

last day of the applicable Interest Period to a Base Rate Loan, (b) convert all or part of a Base Rate Loan

at any time to a LIBOR Loan, and (c) elect a new Interest Period for all or part of a LIBOR Loan, in each

case by delivering a Conversion Request to Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. on the third Business Day before

the conversion date or the last day of the Interest Period, as the case may be (for conversion to a LIBOR

Loan or election of a new Interest Period), and no later than 1:00 p.m. one Business Day before the last day

of the Interest Period (for conversion to a Base Rate Loan). Absent Borrower's notice of conversion or

election of a new Interest Period, a LIBOR Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan when the applicable

Interest Period expires.

3.11 Order of Application. If no Default or Potential Default exists, any payment shall be applied

to the Obligation in the order and manner as Borrower directs. If a Default or Potential Default exists or if

Borrower fails to give direction, any other payment (including proceeds from the exercise of any Rights

hereunder) shall be applied in the following order (a) to all fees, expenses and Funding Losses for which

Agent or Lenders have not been paid or reimbursed in accordance with the Loan Papers (and if such

payment is less than all unpaid or unreimbursed fees and expenses, then the payment shall be paid against

unpaid and unreimbursed fees and expenses in the order of incurrence or due date), (b) to accrued interest

on the Principal Debt, and (c) ratably to the remainder of the Obligation.

3.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc.. If any Lender (a "benefitted Lender") shall at any time receive

any payment of all or part of the Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect

thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such

payment to or Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Loans owing

to it, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating

interest in such portion of each such other Lender's Loans owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders

with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such

benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each

of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter

recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits

returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing

a participation from a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law,

exercise all of its Rights of payment (including the Right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully

as if such Person were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

3.13 Booking Loans. To the extent permitted by Law, any Lender may make, carry or transfer

its Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of any of its Affiliates. However,

no Affiliate is entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.15 than the transferor Lender would

have been entitled to receive with respect to those Loans.

3.14 Basis Unavailable or Inadequate for LIBOR. If, on or before any date when LIBOR is to

be determined for a Loan, Agent or any Lender determines (and Required Lenders agree with that

determination) that the basis for determining the applicable rate is not available or that the resulting rate does

not accurately reflect the cost to Lenders of making or converting Loans at that rate for the applicable

Interest Period, then Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of that determination (which is

conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error) and the applicable Loan shall bear interest at the

sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Until Agent notifies Borrower that those circumstances

no longer exist, Lenders' commitments under this Agreement to make, or to convert to, LIBOR Loans are

suspended.

3.15 Additional Costs.

(a) With respect to any LIBOR Loan, (i) if any present or future Law imposes, modifies,

or deems applicable (or if compliance by any Lender with any requirement of any Tribunal results

in) any Reserve Requirement, and if (ii) those reserves reduce any sums receivable by that Lender

under this Agreement or increase the costs incurred by that Lender in advancing or maintaining any

portion of any LIBOR Loan, then (iii) that Lender (through Agent) shall deliver to Borrower a

certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount necessary to compensate

it for its reduction or increase (which certificate is conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and

(iv) Borrower shall promptly pay that amount to that Lender upon demand. This paragraph shall

survive the satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this Agreement. This

paragraph may be invoked by a Lender only if such Lender is generally invoking similar provisions

against other Persons to which such Lender lends funds pursuant to facilities similar to the Facility.

(b) With respect to any Loan or L/C, if any present or future Law regarding capital

adequacy or compliance by Agent (as issuer of L/Cs) or any Lender with any request, directive or

requirement now existing or hereafter imposed by any Tribunal regarding capital adequacy, or any

change in its written policies or in the risk category of this transaction, reduces the rate of return on

its capital as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which it

otherwise could have achieved (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy)

by an amount deemed by it to be material (and it may, in determining the amount, utilize reasonable

assumptions and allocations of costs and expenses and use any reasonable averaging or attribution

method), then (unless the effect is already reflected in the rate of interest then applicable under this

Agreement) Agent or that Lender (through Agent) shall notify Borrower and deliver to Borrower a

certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount necessary to compensate

it (which certificate is conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and Borrower shall promptly

pay that amount to Agent or that Lender upon demand. This paragraph shall survive the satisfaction

and payment of the Obligation and termination of this Agreement. This paragraph may be invoked

by a Lender only if such Lender is generally invoking similar provisions against other Persons to

which such Lender lends funds pursuant to facilities similar to the Facility.

Agent or any Lender in respect of any Loan Paper or any document related thereto shall, if permitted

by Law, be paid by Borrower, together with interest and penalties, if any (other than for Taxes

imposed on or measured by the overall net income of Agent or that Lender and interest and penalties

incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender). Agent

or that Lender (through Agent) shall notify Borrower and deliver to Borrower a certificate setting

forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of payable Taxes, which certificate is

conclusive and binding (absent manifest error), and Borrower shall promptly pay that amount to

Agent for its account or the account of that Lender, as the case may be. If Agent or that Lender

subsequently receives a refund of the Taxes paid to it by Borrower, then the recipient shall promptly

pay the refund to Borrower.

3.16 Change in Laws. If any Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR

Loans, then that Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent, and (a) as to undisbursed funds, that

requested Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, and (b), as to any outstanding Loan, (i) if maintaining

the Loan until the last day of the applicable Interest Period is unlawful, the Loan shall be converted to a Base

Rate Loan as of the date of notice, and Borrower shall pay any related Funding Loss, or (ii) if not prohibited

by Law, the Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period,

or (iii) if any conversion will not resolve the unlawfulness, Borrower shall promptly pay the Loan, without

penalty, together with any related Funding Loss. Concurrently with any payment contemplated by clause (iii)

of the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount

from such Lender (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related

LIBOR Loans of the other Lenders) and such Lender shall fund such Base Rate Loan.

3.17 Funding Loss. Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against, and pay to it upon

demand, any Funding Loss of that Lender. When any Lender demands that Borrower pay any Funding

Loss, that Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis

for imposing Funding Loss and the calculation of the amount, which calculation is conclusive and binding

absent manifest error. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification set forth in this paragraph shall

survive the satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this Agreement.

3.18 Foreign Lenders. Each Lender that is organized under the Laws of any jurisdiction other

than the U.S. or any State thereof (a) represents to Agent and Borrower that (i) no Taxes are required to

be withheld by Agent or Borrower with respect to any payments to be made to it in respect of the Obligation

and (ii) it has furnished to Agent and Borrower two duly completed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service

Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (wherein it claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal

withholding tax on all interest payments under the Loan Papers), or any other successor tax form acceptable

to Agent and Borrower, and (b) covenants to (i) provide Agent and Borrower a new tax form upon the

expiration, inaccuracy or obsolescence of any previously delivered form according to, and to the extent

permitted by, Law, duly executed and completed by it, and (ii) comply from time to time with all Laws with

regard to the withholding tax exemption. If any of the foregoing is not true or the applicable forms are not

provided, then Borrower and Agent (without duplication) may deduct and withhold from interest payments

under the Loan Papers U.S. federal income tax at the full rate applicable under the Code. In addition,

Borrower shall not be required to make any payments contemplated by Section 3.15(c) to the extent that

such payments would not have been payable if such Lender had furnished the appropriate form (properly and

accurately completed in all respects) which it was otherwise required to furnish in accordance with this

Section 3.18.

3.19 Affected Lender's Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as

practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition which would

entitle it to exercise any rights under Sections 3.15 or 3.16, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to

make, fund or maintain the affected Loans of such Lender through another lending office of such Lender if

(a) as a result thereof the additional moneys which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such

Loans of such Lender would be reduced or the illegality or other adverse circumstances which would

otherwise affect such Loans of such Lender would cease to exist or the increased cost which would

otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such Loans would be reduced and (b) the making, funding or

maintaining of such Loans through such other lending office would not otherwise materially adversely affect

such Loans or such Lender.

3.20 Replacement Lender. In the event Borrower becomes obligated to pay any additional

amounts to any Lender pursuant to Sections 3.15 or 3.16 as a result of any event or condition described in

any of such Sections, then, unless such Lender has theretofore taken steps to remove or cure, and has

removed or cured, the conditions creating the cause of such obligation to pay such additional amounts,

Borrower may designate a substitute lender acceptable to Agent (such lender herein called a "Replacement

Lender") to purchase such Lender's rights and obligations with respect to its entire Pro Rata Part hereunder

with respect to the Facility as a whole, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender in

accordance with Section 14.12(c) for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amounts payable

to such Lender with respect to such Pro Rata Part, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and

unpaid fees and charges in respect of such Pro Rata Part and on other terms reasonably satisfactory to

Agent. Upon such purchase by the Replacement Lender and payment of all other amounts owing to the

Lender being replaced hereunder, such Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or

obligations hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender

with respect to such Pro Rata Part hereunder.

SECTION 4 FEES.

4.1 Treatment of Fees. The fees described in this Section 4 (a) are not compensation for the

use, detention, or forbearance of money, (b) are in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest and expenses

otherwise described in this Agreement, (c) are payable in accordance with Section 3.1(b), (d) are nonrefundable,

4.3 L/C Fees.

(a) L/C Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of each Lender in

accordance with its Pro Rata Part (i) a fee for each commercial L/C equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum

times the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such L/C, and (ii) a fee for

each standby L/C equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans times the actual daily maximum

amount available to be drawn under each such L/C. Such fee for each L/C shall be due and payable

quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the

issuance of such L/C, and on the expiration date of such L/C. If there is any change in the

Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount of each standby L/C shall be computed

and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such

Applicable Margin was in effect.

(b) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Agent. The

Borrower shall pay directly to the Agent for its own account a fronting fee in an amount (i) with

respect to each commercial L/C, equal to 1/8 of 1% of the amount of such L/C, due and payable

upon the issuance thereof, and (ii) with respect to each standby L/C, equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum

on the daily maximum amount available to be drawn thereunder, due and payable quarterly in arrears

on each Quarterly Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such L/C,

and on the expiration date of such L/C. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the Agent for

its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and

other standard costs and charges, of the Agent relating to letters of credit as from time to time in

effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

the L/C) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days

elapsed.

4.4 Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the ratable account of Lenders a

commitment fee, payable as it accrues on each Quarterly Date and on the Termination Date, equal to the

Applicable Percentage (per annum), of the amount by which the Total Commitment exceeds the average daily

Commitment Usage, in each case during the calendar quarter (or portion thereof) ending on such date,

calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day, but excluding the last

day) in a calendar year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

SECTION 5 GUARANTY AND SECURITY.

5.1 Guaranty. Full and complete payment of the Obligation under the Loan Papers shall be

guaranteed in accordance with a Guaranty executed by each Restricted Company (other than Borrower).

5.2 Collateral. Full and complete payment of the Obligation under the Loan Papers shall be

secured by (collectively, the "Collateral") (a) all capital stock or other equity interests issued to a Restricted

Company by any Restricted Subsidiary organized under the laws of the United States (or any state thereof),

(b) 65% of all capital stock or other equity interests issued to a Restricted Company by any other Restricted

Subsidiary, and (c) a pledge by Borrower of its membership interests in SSI.

5.3 Additional Collateral and Guaranties. Agent may, without notice or demand and without

affecting any Person's obligations under the Loan Papers, from time to time (a) receive and hold additional

collateral from any Person for the payment of all or any part of the Obligation and exchange, enforce or

release all or any part of that collateral (in accordance with Section 13.9(e)), and (b) accept and hold any

endorsement or guaranty of payment of all or any part of the Obligation and release any endorser or

13.9(f)).

5.4 Additional Documents or Information. Each Company will execute, or cause to be executed,

financing statements, stock powers, or other writings in the form and content reasonably required by Agent.

Borrower shall pay all costs of (a) filing any financing, continuation, amendment or terminations statements,

or (b) other actions taken by Agent relating to the Collateral, including, without limitation, costs and expenses

of any Lien search required by Agent.

SECTION 6 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

or L/C Request (together with the applicable L/C Agreement), as the case may be; (b) Agent shall have

(a) normal replacements and maintenance which are properly charged to current operations, and (b) such

business not exceeding, in the aggregate for the Restricted Companies during each fiscal year, an amount

payment contemplated by Section 3.2(b) of this Agreement after such payment becomes due and payable

and failure or refusal continues for 30 days.

11.3 Debtor Relief. Any Restricted Company (a) fails to pay its Debts generally as they become

due, (b) voluntarily seeks, consents to, or acquiesces in the benefit of any Debtor Relief Law, (c) becomes

a party to or is made the subject of any proceeding provided for by any Debtor Relief Law that could suspend

proceeding is involuntary, the applicable petition is dismissed within 60 days after its filing), or (d) becomes

subject to an order for relief granted under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended from time to

custody or control of all or any substantial portion of the assets described on Schedule 2.

11.6 Misrepresentation. Any material representation or warranty made by any Company in

connection with any Loan Paper at any time proves to have been materially incorrect when made; provided

knowledge thereof.

11.7 Ownership. There shall occur a Change of Control Transaction.

11.8 Default Under Other Agreements. (a) Any Restricted Company fails to pay when due (after

or (b) any default exists under any agreement to which any Restricted Company is a party, the effect of

which is to cause, or to permit any Person (other than a Restricted Company) to cause, any recourse

obligation in excess (individually or collectively) of $5,000,000 to become due and payable by any Restricted

Company before its stated maturity, except to the extent such obligation is declared to be due and payable

as a result of the sale of any asset to which it relates.

11.9 Validity and Enforceability of Loan Papers. Except in accordance with its terms or as

which the notice requirement is waived under applicable PBGC regulations.

SECTION 12 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

12.1 Remedies Upon Default.

(a) If a Default exists under Section 11.3, the commitment to extend credit under this

Agreement automatically terminates, the entire unpaid balance of the Obligation automatically

becomes due and payable without any action of any kind whatsoever, and Borrower must provide

cash collateral in an amount equal to the then-existing L/C Exposure.

(b) If any Default exists, subject to the terms of Section 13.5(b), Agent may (with the

consent of, and must, upon the request of, Required Lenders), do any one or more of the following:

(i) if the maturity of the Obligation has not already been accelerated under Section 12.1(a), declare

the entire unpaid balance of all or any part of the Obligation immediately due and payable, whereupon

it is due and payable; (ii) terminate the commitments of Lenders to extend credit or to continue or

convert any Loan under this Agreement; (iii) reduce any claim to judgment; (iv) demand Borrower

to provide cash collateral in an amount equal to the L/C Exposure then existing; and (v) exercise any

and all other legal or equitable Rights afforded by the Loan Papers, the Laws of the State of New

York, or any other applicable jurisdiction.

12.2 Company Waivers. To the extent permitted by Law, each Company waives

presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of

acceleration and notice of protest and nonpayment, and agrees that its liability with respect to all

or any part of the Obligation is not affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of

all or any part of the Obligation, by any indulgence, or by any release or change in any security for

the payment of all or any part of the Obligation.

12.3 Performance by Agent. If any covenant, duty or agreement of any Company is not

performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Papers, Agent may, while a Default exists, at its option

(but subject to the approval of Required Lenders), perform or attempt to perform that covenant, duty or

agreement on behalf of that Company (and any amount expended by Agent in its performance or attempted

performance is payable by the Companies, jointly and severally, to Agent on demand, becomes part of the

Obligation, and bears interest at the Default Rate from the date of Agent's expenditure until paid). However,

Agent does not assume and shall never have, except by its express written consent, any liability or

responsibility for the performance of any covenant, duty or agreement of any Company.

12.4 Not in Control. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in any Loan Paper shall,

or shall be deemed to, give Agent or Lenders the Right to exercise control over the assets (including, without

limitation, real property), affairs, or management of any Company; the power of Agent and Lenders is limited

to the Right to exercise the remedies provided in this Section 12.

12.5 Course of Dealing. The acceptance by Agent or Lenders of any partial payment on the

Obligation shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default then existing. No waiver by Agent, Required

Lenders or Lenders of any Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other then-existing or subsequent

Default. No delay or omission by Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders in exercising any Right under the

Loan Papers will impair that Right or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor will

any single or partial exercise of any Right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any

other Right under the Loan Papers or otherwise.

12.6 Cumulative Rights. All Rights available to Agent, Required Lenders, and Lenders under the

Loan Papers are cumulative of and in addition to all other Rights granted to Agent, Required Lenders, and

Lenders at law or in equity, whether or not the Obligation is due and payable and whether or not Agent,

Required Lenders, or Lenders have instituted any suit for collection, foreclosure, or other action in connection

with the Loan Papers.

12.7 Application of Proceeds. Any and all proceeds ever received by Agent or Lenders from the

exercise of any Rights pertaining to the Obligation shall be applied to the Obligation according to

Section 3.11.

12.8 Diminution in Value of Collateral. Neither Agent nor any Lender has any liability or

responsibility whatsoever for any diminution in or loss of value of any Collateral or other collateral ever

securing payment or performance of all or any part of the Obligation ( other than diminution in or loss of value

caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct).

12.9 Certain Proceedings. The Companies will promptly execute and deliver, or cause the

execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements and all other

documents and papers Agent or Required Lenders reasonably request in connection with the obtaining of any

consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license or authorization of any Tribunal or other Person

necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any Rights under the Loan Papers. Because Borrower

agrees that Agent's and Required Lenders' remedies at Law for failure of the Companies to comply with the

provisions of this paragraph would be inadequate and that failure would not be adequately compensable in

damages, Borrower agrees that the covenants of this paragraph may be specifically enforced.

SECTION 13 AGREEMENT AMONG LENDERS.

13.1 Agent.

(a) Each Lender appoints Agent (and Agent accepts appointment) as its nominee and

agent, in its name and on its behalf pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Papers: (i) to

act as its nominee and on its behalf in and under all Loan Papers; (ii) to arrange the means whereby

its funds are to be made available to Borrower under the Loan Papers; (iii) to take any action that

it properly requests under the Loan Papers (subject to the concurrence of other Lenders as may be

required under the Loan Papers); (iv) to receive all documents and items to be furnished to it under

the Loan Papers; (v) to be the secured party, mortgagee, beneficiary, recipient and similar party in

respect of any collateral for the benefit of Lenders; (vi) to promptly distribute to it all material

information, requests, documents and items received from any Company under the Loan Papers;

(vii) to promptly distribute to it its ratable part of each payment (whether voluntary, as proceeds of

Collateral upon or after foreclosure, as proceeds of insurance thereon, or otherwise) in accordance

with the terms of the Loan Papers; and (viii) to deliver to the appropriate Persons requests, demands,

approvals, and consents received from it.

(b) If the initial or any successor Agent ever ceases to be a party to this Agreement or

if the initial or any successor Agent ever resigns (whether voluntarily or at the request of Required

Lenders), then Required Lenders shall appoint the successor Agent from among Lenders ( other than

the resigning Agent). If Required Lenders fail to appoint a successor Agent within 30 days after the

resigning Agent has given notice of resignation or Required Lenders have removed the resigning

Agent, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which must

be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (as shown

on its most recently published statement of condition). Upon its acceptance of appointment as

successor Agent, the successor Agent succeeds to and becomes vested with all of the Rights of the

prior Agent, and the prior Agent is discharged from its duties and obligations of Agent under the Loan

Papers (but, when used in connection with L/Cs issued and outstanding before the appointment of

the successor Agent, "Agent" shall continue to refer solely to Bank of America, N.A. (but, any L/Cs

issued or renewed after the appointment of any successor Agent shall be issued or renewed by the

successor Agent)), and each Lender shall execute the documents as any Lender, the resigning or

removed Agent, or the successor Agent reasonably request to reflect the change. After any Agent's

resignation or removal as Agent under the Loan Papers, the provisions of this Section 13 inure to its

benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Papers.

any other Lender and may exercise those Rights as if it were not acting as Agent; the term "Lender"

shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Agent; and Agent's resignation or removal shall

not impair or otherwise affect any Rights that it has or may have in its capacity as an individual

Lender. Each Lender and Borrower agree that Agent is not a fiduciary for Lenders or for Borrower

but simply is acting in the capacity described in this Agreement to alleviate administrative burdens

for Borrower and Lenders, that Agent has no duties or responsibilities to Lenders or Borrower,

except those expressly set forth in the Loan Papers, and that Agent in its capacity as a Lender has

all Rights of any other Lender.

(d) Agent may now or hereafter be engaged in one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing

or other financing transactions with Borrower, act as trustee or depositary for Borrower, or otherwise

be engaged in other transactions with Borrower (collectively, the "other activities") not the subject

of the Loan Papers. Without limiting the Rights of Lenders specifically set forth in the Loan Papers,

Agent is not responsible to account to Lenders for those other activities, and no Lender shall have

any interest in any other activities, any present or future guaranties by or for the account of Borrower

that are not contemplated or included in the Loan Papers, any present or future offset exercised by

Agent in respect of those other activities, any present or future property taken as security for any of

those other activities, or any property now or hereafter in Agent's possession or control that may be

or become security for the obligations of Borrower arising under the Loan Papers by reason of the

general description of indebtedness secured or of property contained in any other agreements,

documents, or instruments related to any of those other activities (but, if any payments in respect of

those guaranties or that property or the proceeds thereof is applied by Agent to reduce the Obligation,

then each Lender is entitled to share ratably in the application as provided in the Loan Papers).

13.2 Expenses. Each Lender shall pay its Pro Rata Part of any reasonable expenses (including,

without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs of collection) incurred by Agent

(while acting in such capacity) in connection with any of the Loan Papers if Agent is not reimbursed from

other sources within 30 days after incurrence. Each Lender is entitled to receive its Pro Rata Part of any

reimbursement that it makes to Agent if Agent is subsequently reimbursed from other sources.

13.3 Proportionate Absorption of Losses. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Papers,

nothing in the Loan Papers gives any Lender any advantage over any other Lender insofar as the Obligation

is concerned or to relieve any Lender from absorbing its Pro Rata Part of any losses sustained with respect

to any portion of the Obligation in which it participates (except to the extent unilateral actions or inactions by

any Lender result in Borrower or any other obligor on the Obligation having any credit, allowance, setoff,

defense, or counterclaim solely with respect to all or any part of that Lender's portion of the Obligation).

13.4 Delegation of Duties; Reliance. Lenders may perform any of their duties or exercise any

of their Rights under the Loan Papers by or through Agent, and Lenders and Agent may perform any of their

duties or exercise any of their Rights under the Loan Papers by or through their respective Representatives.

Agent, Lenders and their respective Representatives (a) are entitled to rely upon (and shall be protected in

relying upon) any written or oral statement believed by it or them to be genuine and correct and to have been

signed or made by the proper Person and, with respect to legal matters, upon opinion of counsel selected by

Agent or that Lender (but nothing in this clause (a) permits Agent to rely on (i) oral statements if a writing

is required by this Agreement or (ii) any other writing if a specific writing is required by this Agreement),

(b) are entitled to deem and treat each Lender as the owner and holder of its portion of the Principal Debt

for all purposes until, subject to Section 14.12, written notice of the assignment or transfer is given to and

received by Agent (and any request, authorization, consent or approval of any Lender is conclusive and

binding on each subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of or Participant in that Lender's portion of the

Principal Debt until that notice is given and received), (c) are not deemed to have notice of the occurrence

of a Default unless a responsible officer of Agent, who handles matters associated with the Loan Papers and

transactions thereunder, has actual knowledge or Agent has been notified by a Lender or Borrower, and (d)

are entitled to consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower), independent accountants, and other

experts selected by Agent and are not liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in

accordance with the advice of counsel, accountants, or experts.

13.5 Limitation of Agent's Liability.

(a) Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates, Representatives, successors or

assigns will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under the

Loan Papers in good faith and believed by it or them to be within the discretion or power

conferred upon it or them by the Loan Papers or be responsible for the consequences of

any error of judgment (except for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct), and none

of them has a fiduciary relationship with any Lender by virtue of the Loan Papers (but

nothing in this Agreement negates the obligation of Agent to account for funds received

by it for the account of any Lender).

(b) Unless indemnified to its satisfaction, Agent may not be compelled to do any act

under the Loan Papers or to take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the powers

thereby created or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Loan Papers. If Agent requests

instructions from Lenders, or Required Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action

in connection with any Loan Paper, Agent is entitled to refrain (without incurring any liability to any

Person by so refraining) from that act or action unless and until it has received instructions. In no

event, however, may Agent or any of its Representatives be required to take any action that it or they

determine could incur for it or them criminal or onerous civil liability or that is contrary to any Loan

Paper or applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender has any right

of action against Agent as a result of Agent's acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement

in accordance with instructions of Required Lenders (or of all Lenders, if instructions from all

Lenders is specifically required by the terms of the Loan Papers).

represents and warrants that it has not relied upon Agent in respect of, (i) the creditworthiness of any

Company and the risks involved to that Lender, (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness,

validity or due execution of any Loan Paper (other than by Agent), (iii) any representation, warranty,

document, certificate, report or statement made therein (other than by Agent) or furnished

thereunder or in connection therewith, (iv) the adequacy of any Collateral or other collateral ever

securing the Obligation or the existence, priority or perfection of any Lien ever granted or purported

to be granted on any collateral under any Loan Paper, or (v) the observance of or compliance with

any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Paper on the part of any Company. Each

Lender agrees to indemnify Agent and its Representatives and hold them harmless from

and against (but limited to such Lender's Pro Rata Part of) any and all liabilities,

obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable

expenses and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be

imposed on, asserted against, or incurred by them in any way relating to or arising out of

the Loan Papers or any action taken or omitted by them under the Loan Papers if Agent

and its Representatives are not reimbursed for such amounts by any Company. Although

Agent and its Representatives have the right to be indemnified under this Agreement for its or their

own ordinary negligence, Agent and its Representatives do not have the right to be indemnified under

this Agreement for its or their own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13.6 Default; Collateral. While a Default exists, Lenders agree to promptly confer in order that

Required Lenders or Lenders, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement

of the Rights of Lenders; and Agent is entitled to refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability

to any Person for so refraining) unless and until it has received instructions from Required Lenders. In

actions with respect to any property of Borrower, Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Lender.

Agent shall hold, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders, any security it receives for the Obligation or any

guaranty of the Obligation it receives upon or in lieu of foreclosure.

13.7 Limitation of Liability. No Lender or any Participant will incur any liability to any other

Lender or Participant, except for acts or omissions in bad faith, and neither Agent nor any Lender or

Participant will incur any liability to any other Person for any act or omission of any other Lender or any

Participant. No Co-Agent in its capacity as such assumes any responsibility or obligation under this

agreement for servicing, syndication, enforcement or collection of the indebtedness resulting from the Loans

or other advances under the Loan Papers, nor any duties as Agent under the Loan Papers for the Lenders.

13.8 Relationship of Lenders. The Loan Papers and the documents delivered in connection

therewith do not create a partnership or joint venture among Agent and Lenders or among Lenders.

13.9 Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Security Documents for

the ratable benefit of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent concerning any

Collateral with the consent of, or at the request of, Required Lenders in accordance with the

provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Loan Papers, and the exercise

by Agent (with the consent of, or at the request of, Required Lenders) of powers concerning the

Collateral set forth in any Loan Paper, together with other reasonably incidental powers, shall be

authorized and binding upon all Lenders.

(b) Agent is authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to

or further consent from any Lender, from time to time before a Default or Potential Default, to take

any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents that may be necessary to perfect

and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted by the Security Documents.

that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Company or is cared for, protected or insured or has

been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Lenders under the Security

Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced,

or are entitled to any particular priority.

(d) Agent shall exercise the same care and prudent judgment with respect to the

Collateral and the Security Documents as it normally and customarily exercises in respect of similar

collateral and security documents.

(e) Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any

Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon full payment of the Obligation; (ii) constituting property being sold

or disposed of as permitted under Section 9.10, if Agent determines that the property being sold or

disposed is being sold or disposed in accordance with the requirements and limitations of

Section 9.10 and Agent concurrently receives all mandatory prepayments with respect thereto, if

any, (iii) constituting property leased to any Company under a lease that has expired or been

terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and that has not

been, and is not intended by that Company to be, renewed; (iv) consisting of an instrument evidencing

Debt pledged to Agent (for the benefit of Lenders), if the Debt evidenced thereby has been paid in

full; or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders, subject to Section

14.10. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to

release particular types or items of Collateral under this Section 13.9(e).

concurrently receives all mandatory prepayments with respect thereto, if any, and (iv) if approved,

authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders, subject to Section 14.10. Upon request by

Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release any Restricted

Company from its Guaranty under this Section 13.9(f).

13.10 Benefits of Agreement. None of the provisions of this Section 13 inure to the benefit of any

Company or any other Person other than Agent and Lenders; consequently, no Company or any other

Person is entitled to rely upon, or to raise as a defense, in any manner whatsoever, the failure of Agent or any

Lender to comply with these provisions.

SECTION 14 MISCELLANEOUS.

14.1 Headings. The headings, captions and arrangements used in any of the Loan Papers are,

unless specified otherwise, for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit, amplify or modify the terms

of the Loan Papers, nor affect the meaning thereof.

14.2 Nonbusiness Days; Time. Any payment or action that is due under any Loan Paper on a

non-Business Day may be delayed until the next-succeeding Business Day (but interest shall continue to

accrue on any applicable payment until payment is in fact made) unless the payment concerns a LIBOR

Loan, in which case if the next-succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, then such payment

shall be made on the next-preceding Business Day. Unless otherwise indicated, all time references (e.g., 1:00

p.m.) are to Dallas, Texas time.

14.3 Communications. Unless otherwise specifically provided, whenever any Loan Paper requires

or permits any consent, approval, notice, request or demand from one party to another, communication must

be in writing (which may be by telex or telecopy) to be effective and shall be deemed to have been given

(a) if by telex, when transmitted to the appropriate telex number and the appropriate answerback is received,

(b) if by telecopy, when transmitted to the appropriate telecopy number (and all communications sent by

telecopy must be confirmed promptly thereafter by telephone; but any requirement in this parenthetical shall

not affect the date when the telecopy shall be deemed to have been delivered), (c) if by mail, on the third

Business Day after it is enclosed in an envelope and properly addressed, stamped, sealed, and deposited in

the appropriate official postal service, or (d) if by any other means, when actually delivered. Until changed

by notice pursuant to this Agreement, the address (and telecopy number) for each party to a Loan Paper is

set forth on the attached Schedule 1.

14.4 Form and Number of Documents. The form, substance, and number of counterparts of each

writing to be furnished under the Loan Papers must be satisfactory to Agent and its counsel, each in its

reasonable discretion.

14.5 Exceptions to Covenants. The Companies may not take or fail to take any action that is

permitted as an exception to any of the covenants contained in any Loan Paper if that action or omission

would result in the breach of any other covenant contained in any Loan Paper.

14.6 Survival. All covenants, agreements, undertakings, representations and warranties made in

any of the Loan Papers survive all closings under the Loan Papers and, except as otherwise indicated, are

not affected by any investigation made by any party.

14.7 Governing Law. The Laws (other than conflict-of-laws provisions) of the State of New

York and of the U.S. govern the Rights and duties of the parties to the Loan Papers and the validity,

construction, enforcement and interpretation of the Loan Papers.

14.8 Invalid Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Paper held to be illegal, invalid or

unenforceable is fully severable; the appropriate Loan Paper shall be construed and enforced as if that

provision had never been included; and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall

not be affected by the severed provision. Agent, Lenders, and the Companies shall negotiate, in good faith,

the terms of a replacement provision as similar to the severed provision as may be possible and be legal, valid

and enforceable.

14.9 Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO ANY LOAN PAPER, IN EACH CASE

FOR ITSELF, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (AND IN THE CASE OF BORROWER, FOR EACH OTHER

COMPANY), (A) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND

FEDERAL COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT

PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE

OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN PAPERS AND THE OBLIGATION

BROUGHT IN DISTRICT COURTS OF DALLAS OR XXXXXX COUNTY, TEXAS, OR IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN OR SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, DALLAS OR HOUSTON DIVISION, (C) IRREVOCABLY

WAIVES ANY CLAIMS THAT ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS HAS

BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (D) IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING

AGAINST ANY PARTY TO ANY LOAN PAPER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN PAPERS

OR THE OBLIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT IN ONE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, AND (E)

IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY

TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PAPER. The

scope of each of the foregoing waivers is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may

be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including, without limitation,

contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. Borrower

(for itself and on behalf of each other Company) acknowledges that these waivers are a material inducement

to Agent's and each Lender's agreement to enter into a business relationship, that Agent and each Lender

has already relied on these waivers in entering into this Agreement, and that Agent and each Lender will

continue to rely on each of these waivers in related future dealings. Borrower (for itself and on behalf of

each other Company) further warrants and represents that it has reviewed these waivers with its legal

counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily agrees to each waiver following consultation with legal counsel.

THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 14.9 MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION

14.10, AND SHALL, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT WAIVED OR MODIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 14.10,

APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS OR PLACEMENTS TO OR OF THIS OR ANY

OTHER LOAN PAPER. In the event of Litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial

by the court.

14.10 Amendments, Consents, Conflicts and Waivers.

(a) Unless otherwise specifically provided, (i) this Agreement may be amended only by

an instrument in writing executed by Borrower, Agent and Required Lenders and supplemented only

by documents delivered or to be delivered in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement,

and (ii) the other Loan Papers may only be the subject of an amendment, modification or waiver that

has been approved by Required Lenders and Borrower.

(b) Any amendment to or consent or waiver under any Loan Paper that purports to

accomplish any of the following must be by an instrument in writing executed by Borrower and Agent

and executed (or approved, as the case may be) by each Lender: (i) extend the due date, decrease

the amount of, or reallocate any scheduled payment of the Obligation; (ii) decrease any rate or

amount of interest, fees or other sums payable to Agent or Lenders under this Agreement (except

such reductions as are contemplated by this Agreement); (iii) change the definition of "Committed

Sum," "Required Lenders," or "Termination Date;" (iv) increase any one or more Lenders'

Committed Sums; (v) waive compliance with, amend or release (in whole or in part) the Guaranties

of VRI or all or substantially all of the Restricted Subsidiaries; (vi) release all or substantially all of

the Collateral, or (vii) change this clause (b), Section 9.12 or any other matter specifically requiring

the consent of all Lenders under this Agreement.

terms and provisions in any other Loan Paper is controlled by the terms and provisions of this

Agreement.

(d) No course of dealing or any failure or delay by Agent, any Lender, or any of their

respective Representatives with respect to exercising any Right of Agent or any Lender under this

Agreement operates as a waiver thereof. A waiver must be in writing and signed by Agent and

Lenders (or Required Lenders, if permitted under this Agreement) to be effective, and a waiver will

be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

14.11 Multiple Counterparts. Each Loan Paper (other than the Notes) may be executed in a

number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which

constitute, collectively, one agreement; but, in making proof of thereof, it shall not be necessary to produce

or account for more than one counterpart. Each Lender need not execute the same counterpart of this

Agreement so long as identical counterparts are executed by Borrower, each Lender, and Agent. This

Agreement shall become effective when counterparts of this Agreement have been executed and delivered

to Agent by each Lender, Agent and Borrower, or, in the case only of Lenders, when Agent has received

telecopied, telexed or other evidence satisfactory to it that each Lender has executed and is delivering to

Agent a counterpart of this Agreement.

14.12 Successors and Assigns; Participation.

(a) The Loan Papers bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, any intended

beneficiary thereof, and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Lender may

transfer, pledge, assign, sell any participation in, or otherwise encumber its portion of the Obligation,

except as permitted by this Section 14.12.

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business, at any time sell to one or

more Persons (each a "Participant") participating interests in all or any part of its Rights and

obligations under the Loan Papers. The selling Lender shall remain a "Lender" under this

Agreement (and the Participant shall not constitute a "Lender" under this Agreement) and its

obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged. The selling Lender shall remain solely

responsible for the performance of its obligations under the Loan Papers and shall remain the holder

of its share of the Principal Debt for all purposes under this Agreement. Borrower and Agent shall

continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Lender in connection with that Lender's Rights

and obligations under the Loan Papers. Participants have no Rights under the Loan Papers, other

than certain voting Rights as provided below. Subject to the following, each Lender may obtain (on

behalf of its Participants) the benefits of Section 3 with respect to all participations in its part of the

Obligation outstanding from time to time so long as Borrower is not obligated to pay any amount in

excess of the amount that would be due to that Lender under Section 3 calculated as though no

participation have been made. No Lender may sell any participating interest under which the

Participant has any Rights to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Paper,

except to the extent the amendment, modification or waiver extends the due date for payment of any

principal, interest or fees due under the Loan Papers or reduces the interest rate or the amount of

principal or fees applicable to the Obligation (except reductions contemplated by this Agreement).

Eligible Assignee (each a "Purchaser") all or any part (but if less than all, then not less than

$5,000,000) of its Rights and obligations under the Loan Papers. In each case, the Purchaser shall

assume those Rights and obligations under an assignment agreement substantially in the form of the

attached Exhibit G. Each assignment under this Section 14.12(c) shall include a ratable interest in

the assigning Lender's Rights and obligations under the Facility. Upon (i) delivery of an executed

copy of the assignment agreement to Borrower and Agent and the recordation thereof in the Register

provided for in Section 14.12(d) and (ii) with respect to each assignment after the completion of the

primary syndication of the Facility, payment of a fee of $3,500 from the transferor to Agent, from and

after the effective date specified in the Assignment Agreement (which shall be after the date of

delivery), the Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all

the Rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an

original party to this Agreement with commitments as set forth in the assignment agreement, and the

transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement to a corresponding

extent, and, except as provided in the following sentence, no further consent or action by Borrower,

Lenders or Agent shall be required. Upon the consummation of any transfer to a Purchaser under

this clause (c), the then-existing Schedule 1 shall automatically be deemed to reflect the name,

address and Committed Sum of such Purchaser, Agent shall deliver to Borrower and Lenders an

amended Schedule 1 reflecting those changes, and Borrower shall execute and deliver to the

Purchaser and, if applicable, such Lender, a Note in the face amount of its Committed Sum and the

transferor Lender shall return to Borrower the Note previously delivered to it under this Agreement.

A Purchaser is subject to all the provisions in this section as if it were a Lender signatory to this

Agreement as of the date of this Agreement.

(d) Agent shall maintain at its address on Schedule 1 a copy of each Lender assignment

agreement delivered to it in accordance with the terms of Section 14.12(c) and a register for the

recordation of the principal amount, Type and Interest Period of each Loan and the names, addresses

and Committed Sums of each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). Agent will make

reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the Register and to promptly update the Register from

time to time, as necessary. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest

error and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the

from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) This Section 14.12 relates to absolute assignments and, notwithstanding

Section 14.12(a), does not prohibit assignments creating security interests. Specifically, without

limitation, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of Borrower or Agent, assign all or any

part of its Rights under the Loan Papers to a Federal Reserve Bank without releasing the transferor

Lender from its obligations thereunder.

14.13 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Each

Company's obligations under the Loan Papers remain in full force and effect until the Total Commitment is

terminated and the Obligation is paid in full (except for provisions under the Loan Papers expressly intended

to survive payment of the Obligation and termination of the Loan Papers). If at any time any payment of the

principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by Borrower or any other obligor on the

Obligation under any Loan Paper is rescinded or must be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy

or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, the obligations of each Company under the Loan Papers with

respect to that payment shall be reinstated as though the payment had been due but not made at that time.

14.14 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the

occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time

to time, with prior notice to the Borrower or any other Company, to set off and apply any and all deposits

(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any

time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Companies against any and

all of the Obligation owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing.

14.15 Entirety. THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANIES, LENDERS AND AGENT

SHALL BE DETERMINED SOLELY FROM WRITTEN AGREEMENTS, DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS, AND

ANY PRIOR ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES ARE SUPERSEDED BY AND MERGED INTO THOSE

WRITINGS. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER WRITTEN LOAN PAPERS (EACH AS AMENDED IN WRITING

FROM TIME TO TIME) EXECUTED BY ANY COMPANY, ANY LENDER OR AGENT REPRESENT THE FINAL

AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,

CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN

ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. This Agreement supersedes all prior written agreements and

understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and may be supplemented only by documents delivered

in accordance with the terms hereof.
