W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, by that certain Lease Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2002 (the “Lease”) between Lessor and Lessee, Lessor demised and leased to Lessee and Lessee rented and leased from Lessor the Property (as defined in the Lease); and

WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee desire to make certain modifications to the Lease subject to the terms hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings as are ascribed to them in the Lease, unless otherwise noted.

2. Modifications to Lease. The Lease is hereby amended, modified and supplemented as follows:

(a) Section 7.1 is hereby modified by deleting the words “Guarantor (or Lessee if there is no Guarantor)” appearing in line 10 thereof and substituting in lieu thereof the word “Lessee”.

(b) Section 8.5(a) is hereby modified by: (i) deleting the words “(or Guarantor)” appearing in lines 16-17 thereof; and (ii) deleting the words “Guarantor (or Lessee if there is no Guarantor)” appearing in line 31 thereof and substituting in lieu thereof the word “Lessee”.

(d) Section 9.1(b) is hereby modified by deleting the words “Guarantor (or Lessee if there is no Guarantor)” appearing in line 2 thereof and substituting in lieu thereof the word “Lessee”.

(e) Section 11.1 is hereby modified by deleting the terms of the section in their entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:

“Assignment by Lessee. So long as no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may, at Lessee’s sole expense, without the consent of Lessor, assign this Lease for a period that does not extend beyond the Lease Term, to any Affiliate of Lessee that is not, and will at no time be, an Obligor, provided, however, that any such Affiliate is not (I) a tax-exempt entity (within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code) or (II) a debtor or debtor-in-possession in a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding at the commencement of the assignment. For purposes hereof, an assignment shall be deemed any merger or consolidation of Lessee which would violate the provisions of (I) or (II) above. Any assignee shall assume in writing any obligations of Lessee arising from and after the effective date of the assignment, provided, however, that no such assignment shall become effective until (i) a fully executed copy of an assignment and assumption agreement, reasonably acceptable to Lessor, Servicer, Indenture Trustee and Lessee, shall have been delivered to Lessor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, and (ii) such assignee shall have executed such instruments and other documents and provided such further assurances as the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably request to ensure that such assignment is subject to the Assignment of Lease, the other Debt Documents and this Lease and is enforceable. Notwithstanding any such assignment, Lessee shall not be released from its primary liability hereunder and shall continue to be obligated for all of its obligations in this Lease, which obligations shall continue in full effect as obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no assignment had been made. Lessee will have the right, subsequent to any assignment (a) to receive a duplicate copy of each notice of default sent by Lessor to Lessee or any assignee (but such notice shall be effective as against the Lessee, as well as any subsequent assignees, even if a copy has not been delivered to such requesting assignee), and (b) to cure any default by Lessee or other assignee under the Lease within the cure period provided for hereunder. Lessee’s liability hereunder shall continue notwithstanding the rejection of this Lease by an assignee or any sublease of this Lease pursuant to Section 365 of Title 11 of the United States Code, any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or the rights of creditors, which arises subsequent to such assignment. In the event Lessee assigns this Lease and it shall thereafter be rejected in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, a new lease identical to this Lease shall be reinstituted as between Lessor and Lessee without further act of either party, provided Lessor shall not be obligated to deliver to Lessee possession of the Property free of any tenancy created or caused by Lessee or any entity holding by or through Lessee. Nothing herein shall be construed to permit Lessee to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise collaterally assign in any manner or nature whatsoever Lessee’s interest under this Lease in whole or in part. Lessee shall provide written notice to Lessor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of any proposed assignment of this Lease at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and an executed copy of the approved agreement of assignment and assumption within thirty (30) days after the execution thereof. To the extent an assignee of this Lease fails to perform on behalf of Lessee the obligations of Lessee hereunder, and Lessee performs such obligations, then Lessee shall be subrogated to the rights of Lessor as against such assignee in respect of such performance.”

(f) Section 12.1 is hereby modified by deleting the word “Guarantor” appearing in line 67 thereof and substituting in lieu thereof the word “Lessee”.

(g) Article 13 is hereby restated in its entirety as follows:

4. Representations and Warranties. Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor that the following are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment:

(a) Due Organization. Lessee is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in the State of Texas and is qualified to do business in the State of Texas. Lessee has the corporate power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted, to own or hold under lease its property, to lease the Property and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, and the Master Letter Agreement.

Lessee is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, and the Master Letter Agreement.

(b) Due Authorization; No Conflict. Each of the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, and the Master Letter Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Lessee and has been duly executed and delivered by Lessee, and the execution, delivery and performance thereof by Lessee will not, (i) require any approval of the stockholder of Lessee (except as heretofore obtained) or any approval or consent of any trustee or holder of any indebtedness or obligation of Lessee or of any Affiliate of Lessee, other than such consents and approvals as have been obtained, (ii) contravene any Applicable Law binding on Lessee or (iii) contravene or result in any breach of or constitute any default under Lessee’s charter or by-laws or other organizational documents, or any indenture, judgment, order, mortgage, loan agreement, contract, partnership or joint venture agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee is bound, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Operative Documents) upon any of the property of Lessee.

(c) Enforceability. Each of the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, and the Master Letter Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with the terms thereof, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, general principles of equity or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general.

5. Full Force and Effect. Except as herein expressly amended, modified and supplemented, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Lease remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in every respect. Lessee takes the occasion of the execution of this Amendment to confirm that, to the best of Lessee’s knowledge: (i) Lessor is not in default under the Lease and Lessor has fully and properly fulfilled all of its obligations under the Lease; (ii) Lessee has no dispute with respect to any payments of Base Rent and/or Supplemental Rent heretofore made by Lessee nor any other claims against Lessor under or in connection with the Lease or otherwise; and (iii) Lessee is in possession of the Property and is satisfied with the condition of the Property and that Lessor shall have no obligation to perform any work and/or installations, supply any materials or equipment and/or otherwise incur any cost or expense in order to prepare same for Lessee’s continued occupancy or otherwise. Lessor takes the occasion of the execution of this Amendment to confirm that, to the best of Lessor’s knowledge: (i) Lessee is not in default under the Lease and Lessee has fully and properly fulfilled all of its obligations under the Lease; and (ii) Lessor has no dispute with respect to any payments of Base Rent and/or Supplemental Rent heretofore made by Lessee nor any other claims against Lessee under or in connection with the Lease or otherwise.

6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one agreement with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same signature page. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

7. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall be effective as of the date first above written.

8. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors in interest and assigns.
