Client shall provide, or cause Client TPSP's to provide, to Provider the financial and accounting data, information, materials, book, records and all other data (including historical data) necessary for Provider to perform the Services (collectively, the "Client Data"). Client shall answer each question of Provider promptly after receipt by Client of Provider's question and such answer shall be considered part of Client Data. (d) Accuracy of Client Data. Client shall be solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the Client Data and for the accuracy and completeness of the transmission to Provider of Client Data and Provider shall not be responsible for errors in or the delay or nonperformance of Provider's obligations under this Agreement caused or contributed to by the inaccuracy, incompleteness and/or failure to deliver the Client Data. Client shall promptly notify Provider in writing of all inaccuracies, insufficiencies or errors discovered by Client in the Client Data. Provider shall promptly notify Client in writing of all inaccuracies or errors discovered by Provider in the Client Data with the understanding that Provider has no obligation to review or otherwise check for any such inaccuracies or errors in the Client Data.

If any of the Services, in Client's opinion, fail (or will fail) to comply with any applicable Laws as presently existing or as hereafter changed, Client shall promptly give notice to Provider of such failure or expected failure and the Change(s) in the Services required to correct such failure or expected failure (referred to as the "Remedial Changes"). All Remedial Changes shall be reflected in a Change Order to be negotiated in good faith by the parties which shall include any additional Charges if the Remedial Changes require Provider to expend any additional Provider resources in rendering the Services. Provider shall have no obligation regarding any Remedial Changes except to the extent reflected in such a Change Order. In no event shall Provider be obligated to provide any Service, and Provider shall not be liable for the failure to provide any Service, that would cause Provider to be in violation of any applicable Law. (b) If the Provider Contract Administrator should be of the belief that any of the Services are not in compliance with Law (it being understood that the Provider shall have no obligation to assess or determine whether the Services are in compliance with Law, but instead shall rely on Client's obligations under Section 3.11(a) ), then the Provider will advise the Client of its belief following which (i) the Provider's obligations to the Client under this Section 3.11(b) shall have been satisfied and (ii) the Client shall have the responsibility to make the determination whether or not such Services are in compliance with Law and what Remedial Changes are needed to be made to the Services to bring such Services into compliance with Law if necessary.

ARTICLE 4. CHARGES AND PAYMENTS 4.1. Charges. In consideration for all of activities of the Provider from and after the Effective Date and until the Commencement Date, Client shall pay to Provider the Charges as set forth in Exhibit 4.1. In consideration of Provider providing the Resourced Services, Client shall pay to Provider the Charges as set forth in Exhibit 4.1. Additional Services and Termination Services will be charged to Client at the Charges set forth in the applicable Change Order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including Section 4.5) or any Exhibit attached hereto, the Base Charge is the minimum fee to be paid by the Client to the Provider from and after the Commencement Date and under no circumstance whether by the Change Order Procedure or otherwise shall the Base Charge be reduced even as a result of any reduction in the scope or volume of the Resourced Services. 4.2. Payment Terms. (a) Invoice in Advance. Provider shall issue to Client on a monthly basis, in advance, an invoice for the Charges for the Services and other Charges and amounts due Provider hereunder and not previously invoiced. If the Provider fails to issue an invoice in advance or if the Client fails to receive an invoice, the Client shall nevertheless pay the Base Charge and the Provider Key Personnel Charge on the due dates as described on Exhibit 4.1. (b) Payments. All invoices submitted by Provider to Client are due and payable within fifteen (15) days after the Client's receipt of the invoice, subject to Client's right to withhold partial payment in the event of a good faith Dispute pursuant to Section 4.2(c); provided however that the Base Charge and the Provider Key Personnel Charge (part of the Pass-Through Expenses) are due and payable as provided on Exhibit 4.1 which does not require advance invoicing for these amounts. Any payment of an amount due the Provider under this Agreement that is not received by the Provider within two (2) Business Days of the due date for such payment shall be considered late (each a "Late Payment"). Late Payments shall accrue interest from the due date at four and one-half percent (4.5%) per annum until paid. If Client fails to pay any Late Payment to Provider within seven (7) Business Days of its due date for payment, then Provider may, in addition to any other remedies available to it under this Agreement, immediately suspend performance of the Services as of the close of business on such Services Agreement Page 11 seventh (7th) Business Day upon written notice to the Client; provided that if the Provider shall have already delivered to Client an advance notice of its intent to suspend the Services in accordance with the preceding clause with respect to any Late Payment, then no further notice of suspension of Services shall be necessary. CLIENT AGREES THAT IF PROVIDER SUSPENDS PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES OR TERMINATES THIS AGREEMENT ON ACCOUNT OF CLIENT'S FAILURE TO PAY AMOUNTS DUE TO PROVIDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, CLIENT SHALL NOT HAVE ANY CLAIM OR ACTION (AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY SUCH CLAIM OR ACTION) AGAINST THE PROVIDER FOR SUCH SUSPENSION OF SERVICES OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING ALL DAMAGES SUFFERRED BY THE CLIENT OR ITS BUSINESS AS A RESULT OF SUCH SUSPENSION OF SERVICES OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. (c) Disputed Amounts. The Client shall not have any right to dispute (or withhold payment with respect to) the Base Charge or any Provider Key Personnel Charge other than a Provider Key Personnel Charge described in the last sentence of Section 4.7 that the Client has not agreed to. If the Client in good faith disputes any of the remaining Charges that the Client has a right to dispute, then the Client may withhold from its payment of the relevant invoice the amount of the disputed Charge but not to exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of the disputed Charge or (ii) ten percent (10%) of the amount of the relevant invoice (excluding the Base Charge, any Provider Key Personnel Charge that the Client has no right to dispute and any Transfer Taxes). If Client withholds any payment pursuant to this Section 4.2(c), Client shall notify Provider in writing by the payment due date of the basis for such withholding and the parties shall resolve the Dispute pursuant to Article 13. Regardless of any disputed amount, Client shall remit to Provider in accordance with this Section 4.2(c) the invoiced amount minus the amount properly withheld pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 4.2(c). If, pursuant to the Dispute resolution process, it is determined that Client must pay such withheld amounts, or some portion thereof, then in accordance with such Dispute resolution Client shall pay to Provider such withheld amounts or such portion thereof, plus interest accrued on such withheld amounts at the rate set forth in Section 4.2(b) from the date such withheld amount was first due but for Client's dispute. The parties acknowledge and agree that a fundamental premise of this Agreement is that Provider has undertaken expenditures in connection with its provision of the Services and requires payment of amounts due Provider in order to meet such expenditures. Accordingly, Client may not set off against any amounts due Provider hereunder any amounts which Client believes are owed by Provider to Client. If the Provider has overcharged the Client under this Agreement and the Client has paid such overcharge (the "Over Payment") and it is later determined pursuant to the Dispute resolution process, that such an Overpayment has occurred, then the Provider shall, in addition to the return of the Overpayment, also pay interest accrued on such Overpayment at the rate set forth in Section 4.2(b) from the date the Provider first made demand in writing for the return of the Overpayment. 4.3. Transfer Taxes. (a) All Charges are exclusive of Transfer Taxes. Client shall bear the cost of all Transfer Taxes. Transfer Taxes will be separately stated on the relevant invoice and shall be paid by Client and Client shall have no right to withhold payment with respect to Transfer Taxes. Services Agreement Page 12 Provider shall timely remit and report such Transfer Taxes that have been paid to the Provider by Client, as well as the sales giving rise to such Transfer Taxes, to the appropriate taxing authorities. Client shall furnish Provider with all material certificates or other evidence supporting applicable exemptions from Transfer Taxes that may be provided under applicable Law. Provider may rely in good faith on such certificates or other evidence delivered by Client. Provider shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide Client with such assistance as Client may reasonably require to obtain exemption from such Transfer Taxes. (b) Provider shall be responsible for the payment of all interest and penalties related to any Transfer Taxes assessed or levied as contemplated by this Section 4.3 to the extent that Provider fails to accurately and timely remit such Transfer Taxes (that have been paid to the Provider by Client) directly to the applicable taxing authority and/or report such Transfer Taxes directly to the applicable taxing authority. To the extent that any assessed interest or penalties arise from an act or omission by Client, including the failure to pay Transfer Taxes to the Provider, the Client shall be responsible for the payment of such interest and/or penalties. (c) Provider shall cooperate with Client's efforts to identify taxable and nontaxable services pursuant to this Agreement (including segregation of such services on invoices or in attachments thereto) and to obtain refunds of Transfer Taxes paid where appropriate. All Transfer Tax refunds shall belong to Client assuming the Client paid the Transfer Taxes in the first place. After consultation with Client (which shall occur prior to the issuance of the first invoice), Seller shall issue all invoices under this Agreement in a format that separately sets forth the taxable Services and the non-taxable Services. The invoice shall have a separate line item for Transfer Taxes that are being assessed. 4.4. Pass-Through Expenses. (a) Client shall reimburse Provider for the expenses to be paid by Provider in connection with this Agreement and identified on Exhibit 4.1 under the heading "Pass-Through Expenses" and any other expenses incurred by Provider at either the request or approval of the Client (the "Pass-Through Expenses"). Unless Client is in payment default of this Agreement, Provider will pay all Pass-Through Expenses for the benefit of (and subject to reimbursement from) Client; provided that Provider shall not be required to pay any Pass-Through Expense requested by Client that is not specifically identified on Exhibit 4.1 and is in an amount exceeding $250 individually or exceeding $3,000 in the aggregate over any calendar month, unless such sums are advanced by Client in good funds. (b) Upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice, and no more than one (1) time during each quarter year during the Term, Provider shall provide Client with access to Provider's financial records and supporting documentation necessary to verify the Pass-Through Expenses since the date of Client's most recent audit pursuant to this Section 4.4(b). Client shall bear the costs for any such audit. If the audit results in a determination that the Pass-Through Expenses were incorrect, then such incorrect amount shall be corrected in arrears for the month in which such incorrect amount is discovered or in the month in which the final resolution occurs and shall be appropriately included on the next invoice. Services Agreement Page 13 (c) If Provider determines as a result of its own internal audit that it has undercharged Client for Pass-Through Expenses, then the amount of such undercharge shall be treated, for invoicing and payment purposes, as an adjustment in arrears for the month in which the undercharge is discovered or the month in which the final resolution occurs and shall be appropriately included on the next invoice. If an audit results in a determination that Provider has overcharged Client, then the amount of such overcharge shall be treated, for invoicing and payment purposes, as a credit in arrears for the month in which the overcharge is discovered or in the month in which the final resolution occurs and shall be appropriately included on the next invoice. (d) Provider shall retain records and supporting documentation sufficient to document the Pass-Through Expenses paid or payable by Client under this Agreement in accordance with Client's record retention policies in effect as of the Commencement Date and that are provided to Provider in writing. 4.5. Assumptions. The Charges, Resourced Services and Operating Services are based on assumptions set forth on Exhibit 4.5 ("Assumptions"). In the event any of the Assumptions prove incorrect or incomplete or hereafter become incorrect or incomplete, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith an appropriate Change Order. 4.6. Additional Savings. The parties acknowledge that from time to time either one or both of the parties (or their Affiliates) may identify areas in which additional savings may be delivered to the Client as a result of leveraging resources, volume discounts and other synergies whether or not related to the Resourced Services or the Operating Services. If such areas are identified and either party wants to initiate discussions with the other party, then the initiating party shall send a written request to the other party setting forth in reasonable detail a description of the leveraging, discounting or other synergy and the approximate amount of the savings to the Client to be achieved. The parties agree to discuss the matter and if both parties want to proceed (with the understanding that either party may freely choose not to proceed), then, assuming the parties can agree on all the terms and conditions, the parties shall sign a Change Order setting forth their agreement. Unless the parties otherwise agree, all such Change Orders will provide that the leveraging of resources, volume discounts and other synergies will also expire or terminate upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement. The fee to be paid by the Client to the Provider pursuant to the Change Order shall be an amount equal to 50% of the savings realized by the Client; provided that the Provider will not be entitled to any 50% of the savings fee (the "50% Fee") under the preceding clause unless the Client shall have realized $750,000 in total savings per year by the Provider's delivering the Services to the Client and the Client TPSP's delivering the services under the Third Party Service Contracts as opposed to the Client delivering all those same Services and services to itself (collectively, the "Savings"). The parties agree that no later than fifteen (15) months after the commencement and on each anniversary thereof, they will cooperate with each other to determine in good faith the amount of the Savings on an annual run rate basis with the understanding that the Base Charge will not be reduced even if it is determined that the Client has not realized (or will not realize) $750,000 in Savings. Included in the determination of the Savings will be the interest savings (if any) realized by the Client on its credit line(s) that are secured by its accounts receivable based on an improvement in the average "days sales outstanding" of the Client's accounts receivable as compared to the 12 Services Agreement Page 14 month period prior to the Commencement Date. Once the $750,000 in Savings is achieved for the year in question, then the Provider will be entitled to the 50% Fee as described above. To avoid any confusion, the Provider will not be entitled to share in any savings that the Client generates from its own efforts that do not involve the Provider or this Agreement. 4.7. Provider Key Personnel Charge. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the initial Provider Key Personnel Charge (exclusive of Agency Fees) for each of the Provider Key Personnel will not exceed the amounts set forth on Exhibit 5.2 which the Client hereby agrees to. The parties acknowledge that (i) a portion of the Provider Key Personnel Charge are amounts that are variable or otherwise not within the control of the Provider including insurance premiums (including medical, health and worker's compensation), the cost of employee benefits and payroll taxes (the "Variable Portion") and (ii) the remaining portion of the Provider Key Personnel Charge are amounts that are within the control of the Provider such as salary and bonus (the "Controllable Portion"), but the Controllable Portion is subject to market conditions and the ability of the Provider to attract and retain qualified employees. Consequently, the parties agree that (i) any increases in the Provider Key Personnel Charge on account of increases in the Variable Portion and (ii) any increases in the Provider Key Personnel Charge on account of increases in the Controllable Portion to reasonably respond to market conditions and to attract and retain qualified employees (including any annual increases in salary and bonus that are not in excess of the rate of annual increases in salary and bonus for similarly situated or comparable employees of Provider's parent company performing the same or similar job tasks or functions) are acceptable increases in the Provider Key Personnel Charge. If the Provider proposes to further increase the Controllable Portion beyond the amounts contemplated by clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then Provider will first obtain the agreement of the Client to such further increase.

If Provider is unable to remedy the issue and Client still requests replacement of such personnel based upon reasonable and lawful grounds, Provider will replace such personnel with a person of suitable ability and qualifications.

ARTICLE 13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 13.1. General. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.4 and Section 13.5, any dispute, controversy or claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement, an alleged breach of this Agreement or the relationship of the parties under this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, common law, equity, statute, regulation, order or otherwise (each, a "Dispute") shall be resolved in accordance with the following. 13.2. Informal Resolution. Except as otherwise provided herein, the parties will attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal resolution before proceeding to arbitration as provided below. The Management Committee shall first consider and attempt to resolve any Disputes. If the Management Committee is unable to resolve, or does not anticipate resolving a Dispute within twenty (20) days after first considering it, the parties must submit the Dispute to Senior Management. Senior Management shall consider and attempt to resolve any Disputes that are not resolved by the Management Committee. Senior Management shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such Dispute within twenty (20) days. Upon mutual agreement, Senior Management may utilize other alternative dispute resolution procedures to assist in the Services Agreement Page 28 negotiations. Each party's representatives shall negotiate in good faith. The location, format, frequency, duration and conclusion of the discussions shall be left to the discretion of the representatives involved. Discussions and correspondence among such representatives for purposes of these negotiations shall be treated as Confidential Information and information developed for purposes of settlement, exempt from discovery and production, which shall not be admissible in subsequent proceedings between the parties. Documents identified in or provided with such communications, which are not prepared for purposes of the negotiations, are not so exempted and may, if otherwise admissible, be admitted in evidence in such subsequent proceeding. Except as provided in Section 13.4, formal proceedings (including arbitration) for the resolution of a Dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of (i) Senior Management concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely or (ii) the expiration of the twenty (20) day period described above. 13.3. Arbitration. Failing informal resolution, the Dispute shall be finally settled by binding arbitration with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The parties hereby agree that the Federal Arbitration Act will apply to any Dispute. Any party may initiate an arbitration following failure of informal resolution by filing a demand for arbitration at any AAA office located in Dallas, Texas and simultaneously delivering a copy of such demand to the other parties involved in the Dispute. The delivery of a demand for arbitration shall have the same effect as the filing of a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction for purposes of all statutes of limitations applicable to the claims covered by the Dispute. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration hearing shall be conducted in Dallas, Texas, before a single arbitrator, acting under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA except as modified herein. If the amount in controversy equals or exceeds $1,000,000 then three (3) arbitrators shall be required. Unless the parties agree to a mutually acceptable arbitrator within thirty (30) days of a demand for arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The arbitrator shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including the governing law provision. It is the intent of the parties that the arbitration shall be conducted in an efficient, economical and expeditious manner. Accordingly, the parties and the arbitrator shall meet in a pre-hearing conference as promptly as practicable after selection of the arbitrator to establish the scope and extent of discovery and the schedule of the arbitration. If the parties cannot agree as to the scope of discovery, then discovery shall be limited to that which is necessary to a fair resolution of the Dispute, in the judgment of the arbitrator. Unless the parties otherwise agree or the arbitrator determines that it is impracticable, discovery shall be completed within 60 days after the pre-hearing conference, and the hearing on the merits shall be held within 90 days after the pre-hearing conference. The decision of the arbitrator as to all matters involved in the Dispute shall be set forth in a written award, which shall state the relief granted and a brief statement of the reasons for same. The award shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, subject only to challenges on grounds provided in the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator shall issue the award within thirty (30) days after completion of the arbitration hearing and shall deliver such decision to the parties involved in the Dispute. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The non-substantially prevailing parties shall pay the reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) of the substantially prevailing parties and the arbitrator fees and administrative expenses associated with the arbitration. Services Agreement Page 29 13.4. Civil Actions Permitted For Certain Purposes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2 and Section 13.3, a party may initiate a civil action in court for the purposes of (i) enforcing the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement, (ii) judgment upon, and enforcement and collection of, an arbitral award, (iii) obtaining provisional relief such as a temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, garnishment, attachment and similar relief available under applicable Law, without first requesting informal dispute resolution or initiating arbitration, (iv) avoiding expiration of any applicable limitations period and (v) preserving a superior position with respect to other creditors. The parties agree that jurisdiction and venue for any such civil action shall be in the state courts in and for the State of Texas or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas as well as to all appellate courts to which an appeal may be taken from such trial court unless such courts do not have jurisdiction over the particular proceedings or parties in which case jurisdiction and venue for any such civil action shall be in any court with proper jurisdiction. The parties agree not to commence any suit, action or proceeding contemplated by this subsection except in the courts specified in the preceding sentence. Each of the parties to this Agreement expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the right to move to dismiss or transfer any action brought in such courts on the basis of any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue or inconvenient forum in any of such courts. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.4, (i) the merits of any Dispute shall be resolved by arbitration and (ii) each of the parties hereby agrees that a judgment or arbitral award in any such Dispute may be enforced in other applicable jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or award or in any other manner provided by Law. 13.5. Excluded Disputes. The following matters are excluded from the Dispute resolution requirements of this Article 13: (i) a cross-claim pursuant to an indemnification obligation set forth in this Agreement in a proceeding filed by a Third Party and (ii) a Dispute regarding ownership, infringement or violation of intellectual property rights that involves the intellectual property rights of any Third Party. The filing of a court action to enable the recording of a notice of pending action, receivership, or injunction shall be permitted. 13.6. Waiver of Jury Trial.
