successively enforce and exercise any and all rights and
remedies which Secured Party may have under this Agreement,
any other applicable agreement or applicable law, including,
without limitation: (i) commencing one or more actions against
Debtor and reducing the claims of Secured Party against Debtor
to judgment, (ii) foreclosure or other enforcement of Secured

remedies in respect of and to recover upon the Collateral,
through judicial action or otherwise, including all available
remedies under the applicable provisions of the UCC, and (iii)
payment or discharge of any claim or lien, prior or

5.2 DISPOSITION. Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of
the Collateral at private or public sale. Secured Party will
give Debtor reasonable notice of the time and place of any
public sale or other disposition thereof or the time after
which any private sale or other disposition thereof is to be
made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if
such notice is given to Debtor at least ten (10) days
4
before the time of any such sale or disposition. Secured Party
shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any
such notice. Secured Party may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any
time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. Debtor
acknowledges that the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
certain other federal and state laws or regulations may
constitute legal restrictions or limitations upon Secured
Party in any attempts to dispose of any portion of the
Collateral which constitutes securities and the enforcement by
Secured Party of its rights and remedies with respect thereto.
Secured Party is authorized, but shall in no event be
obligated, to sell or dispose of any portion of the Collateral
which constitutes securities at a private sale subject to
investment letter or in any other manner which would not
require the Collateral or any portion thereof to be registered
in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, or under any other
securities laws or regulations, and Secured Party is
authorized to take such action, give such notice, obtain such
consents and do such things as it may deem necessary and
appropriate in connection with any such private sale or
disposition. Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, may
sell any portion of the Collateral which constitutes a
security at its book value to a restricted number of potential
purchasers, notwithstanding that a sale under any such
circumstances may yield a lower price for such Collateral than
might otherwise be available if such Collateral were
registered under the applicable securities laws and sold on
the open market. Debtor stipulates and agrees that the sale
for book value is conclusive evidence that such private sale
or sales were conducted in a commercially reasonable manner
pursuant to the requirements of applicable law.
5.3 COSTS AND EXPENSES. Recover from Debtor an amount
equal to all costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred by
Secured Party in connection with the exercise of the rights
contained or referred to herein, together with interest on
such sums at the rate applicable to the Note from time to
time.
5.4 WAIVER OF DEFAULT. Secured Party may, by an
instrument in writing signed by Secured Party, waive any event
of default which shall have occurred and any of the
consequences thereof and, in such event, Secured Party and
Debtor shall be restored to their respective former positions,
rights and obligations. Any event of default so waived shall,
for all purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to have been
cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
consequence thereof.
5.5 REGISTRATION. Any or all shares of stock
constituting a part of the Collateral held by Secured Party
hereunder may, if an event of default has occurred and is
continuing, be registered in the name of Secured Party or its
nominee, and
5
Secured Party or its nominee may thereafter exercise all
voting and corporate rights at any meeting of any corporation
issuing any of the shares included in the Collateral and
exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange,
subscription or any other rights, privileges or options
pertaining to any such shares as if it were the absolute owner
thereof, including without limitation, the right to exchange
at its discretion, any and all of such stock upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
readjustment of any corporation issuing any of such shares or
upon the exercise by any such issuer of any right, privilege
or option pertaining to any such shares of stock, and in
connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of
such shares of stock with any committee, depositary, transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms
and conditions as it may determine, all without liability
except to account for property actually received by it, but
Secured Party shall have no duty to exercise any of the
aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or for any delay in so
doing. This Agreement constitutes Debtor's proxy to Secured
Party or its nominee to vote all shares of stock constituting
a part of the Collateral or other securities with voting
rights then registered in Debtor's name.
5.6 NO DUTY. The powers conferred on Secured Party
hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for
amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise
of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any
act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence of
willful misconduct.
6. MISCELLANEOUS. The provisions of this Agreement are
severable, and the invalidity of any part or application hereof will not
affect any other provision or application hereof. No indulgence or waiver
hereunder by the Secured Party will be construed to affect any other default
hereunder, or preclude the Secured Party from asserting any right or remedy
with respect to a later default. The Secured Party's remedies hereunder are
cumulative and not alternative, the exercise of one remedy will not preclude
the Secured Party from exercising another for the same default. The terms of
this Agreement will be binding on the successors and permitted assigns of the
parties hereto. The laws of the State of Oklahoma will govern the
construction and validity of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereunder.
