Dear Xxxxx:
This Limited and Conditional Waiver ("Limited Waiver") is entered into
among the Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders. All capitalized terms
used in this Limited Waiver but not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent that intends to
acquire real property and improvements in San Antonio, Texas for a purchase
price not to exceed $9,000,000, for the purpose of operating and leasing as a
telecommunications "carrier hotel" (the "Purchase"). The Borrower has also
informed the Administrative Agent that this Purchase is not being consummated
with the intent of using these assets in the operations of the Borrower, but
with the intent to sell the assets in the near future. The Borrower seeks a
Waiver of Compliance with respect to (a) Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement
with respect to types of businesses which the Borrower is permitted to
purchase, (b) Section 2.16 and Section 6.15 of the Credit Agreement with
respect to the fact that the assets included in the Purchase will not be
subject to any Lien of the Lenders to secure the Obligations and no Guaranty of
the Obligations will be executed in connection with the Purchase (provided that
if the Borrower has not entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement
with respect to such assets by March 31, 2001, the Borrower will be required
immediately to grant to the Lenders a Lien on such assets and to deliver a
Guaranty of the Obligations), and (c) Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement with
respect to the sale of the assets included in the Purchase, so long as (i)
there exists no Default or Event of Default both immediately before and after
giving effect to any such sale, (ii) such sale is for cash and the fair market
value of such assets and (iii) such sale and the proceeds thereof are
consummated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Parent Senior

remedies to any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws
or principles of equity affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally), (b) there exists no Event of Default or Default under the Credit
Agreement and none that would result from the Purchase (other than as
specifically waived hereby), (c) its representations and warranties set forth in
the Credit Agreement and other Loan Papers are true and correct on the date

all agreements and conditions to be complied with by it under the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Papers by the date hereof except as waived hereby,
and (e) the Credit Agreement, as waived hereby, and the other Loan Papers remain

Agreement, except as waived hereby, and does not constitute a waiver by any
Lender of any of its rights or remedies now or at any time in the future. The
Borrower acknowledges that this Limited Waiver constitutes a "Loan Paper" as
defined in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower agrees that if the Borrower has
not entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement to sell or transfer
all of the collocation assets owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(including those assets subject to the Purchase) by March 31, 2001, the Borrower
will be immediately required to grant to the Lenders a Lien on such assets and
to deliver a Guaranty of the Obligations.
THIS LIMITED WAIVER AND THE LOAN PAPERS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EXCEPT AS MODIFIED OR
SUPPLEMENTED HEREBY, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN PAPERS AND ALL OTHER
DOCUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL
FORCE AND EFFECT.
This Limited Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts, all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In making
proof hereof, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for any
counterpart other than one signed by the party against which enforcement is
sought.
