TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and conveyed Property unto and to the proper use and benefit of Trustee, its successors and assigns, in trust, forever, to secure the payment and performance of the Liabilities. IN TRUST, WITH THE POWER OF SALE, to secure payment and performance to Beneficiary of the Liabilities at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Credit Agreement and in this Deed of Trust. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Grantor shall well and truly perform and pay to Beneficiary the Liabilities at the time and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement, this Deed of Trust and the Other Documents, and shall well and truly perform the Liabilities as set forth in the Credit Agreement, this Deed of Trust and the Other Documents and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement and the Other Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void and Beneficiary shall release the lien and security interest created by this Deed of Trust upon the request of and at the sole cost and expense of Grantor; provided, however, that any obligation of Grantor to indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary pursuant to the Credit Agreement, this Deed of Trust and/or the Other Documents, to the extent specified herein or therein to survive, and any other obligation that is specifically agreed to survive such full repayment, performance and release and shall survive any such payment, performance or release. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Tranche A Security Agreement. To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the Tranche A Security Agreement, the terms of the Tranche A Security Agreement shall control, except that with respect to the remedies of a Trustee under the law of the State of Texas, the terms of this Deed of Trust shall govern; provided, however, that Grantor and Trustee expressly agree that no conflict shall be deemed to exist where one document imposes a stricter obligation than another, so long as compliance with the stricter obligation does not make compliance with the less strict obligation impossible. This Deed of Trust, the Tranche A Security Agreement, the other Collateral Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and any other instrument given to evidence or further secure the payment and performance of any of the Liabilities are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Other Documents”. The present principal amount of the Liabilities secured hereby is $92,600,000; the maximum principal amount, including present and future Liabilities, which may be secured hereby at any one time is $92,600,000, plus interest, plus prepayment premium, if any, plus any disbursements and taxes and insurance on the Property and any other sums advanced in accordance with the terms hereof or the Credit Agreement or any of the Other Documents to protect the security of this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or any of the Other Documents, plus interest on such disbursements and advances at the rates set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Secured Amount”). For purposes of this Deed of Trust, so long as the aggregate principal balance of the Liabilities outstanding equals or exceeds the Secured Amount, the amount of the Liabilities secured by this Deed of Trust shall at all times equal only the Secured Amount. The Secured Amount shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that are repaid with respect to the Liabilities so as to make the aggregate principal balance of the Liabilities equal to an amount less than the Secured Amount, and shall not be reduced by any intervening repayments of the Liabilities. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Deed of Trust does not secure the Tranche B Loans as evidenced by the Tranche B Notes or the obligations of the Guarantors under the Credit Agreement with respect to the Tranche B Loans. AND Grantor covenants and agrees with and represents to Trustee as follows:

If Tenant intends to exercise its termination right under this paragraph, then Tenant will use its best efforts to notify Landlord in writing between April 1, 2002 and May 1, 2002 of such intent, but Tenant’s failure to so notify Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s termination right.
m. The abatements, liquidated damages and termination rights in favor of Tenant as described above shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event of any late delivery of the Buildings by Landlord, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in no event shall the entire liability of Landlord in connection with the total aggregate amounts of the Base Rent credits, plus the $10,000.00 per day damages, plus the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant exceed a total amount of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 ($750,000.00) Dollars in the aggregate, regardless of the length of time such rent credits, and/or liquidated damages and/or out-of-pocket costs actually accrue and regardless of whether Tenant terminates this Lease.

A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6(e) hereof, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any action, suit or proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders with respect to any Collateral, (v) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders with respect to any Collateral, and (vi) to verify any and all information with respect to any and all Accounts.

Further, upon the full performance and Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (subject to Section 11(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to any Grantor all of the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, and the Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever.

(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.

(g) As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, other than in the case of a Bankruptcy Event of Default, until written notice shall be given to the applicable Grantor:
(i) Each Grantor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Equity, or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Equity or which would authorize, effect or consent to (unless and to the extent expressly permitted by the Securities Purchase Agreement):
(A) the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity;
