rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as

receive, or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, (B) sell or

or equity is hereby expressly waived and released by Pledgors. Upon the request
of Secured Party, Pledgors shall assemble the Collateral and make it available
to Secured Party at any place designated by Secured Party that is reasonably
convenient to Pledgors and Secured Party. Pledgors agree that Secured Party
shall not be obligated to give more than five (5) days written notice of the

may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such
matters. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of the

all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, or the like, and all
reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred by Secured Party in
connection with the collection of the Obligations and the enforcement of Secured
Party's rights under this Agreement, all of which expenses and fees shall
constitute additional Obligations secured by this Agreement. Secured Party may
apply the Collateral against the Obligations in such order and manner as Secured
Party may elect in its sole discretion. Pledgors shall remain liable for any
deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are
insufficient to pay the Obligations. Pledgors waive all rights of marshalling
in respect of the Collateral.

be transferred into the name of Secured Party or the name or names of Secured
Party's nominee or nominees.

time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the

exercise or cause to be exercised all voting, consensual, and other powers of
ownership pertaining to the Collateral, and Pledgors shall deliver to Secured
Party, if requested by Secured Party, irrevocable proxies with respect to the
Collateral in form satisfactory to Secured Party.
(5) Pledgors hereby acknowledge and confirm that Secured Party may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
applicable state securities laws and may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated
to agree, among other things, to acquire any shares of the Collateral for their
own respective accounts for investment and not with a view to distribution or
resale thereof. Pledgors further acknowledge and confirm that any such private
sale may result in prices or other terms less favorable to the seller than if
such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees
that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in
the State of Texas, and Secured Party shall be under no obligation to take any
steps in order to permit the Collateral to be sold at a public sale. Secured
Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for
any period of time necessary to permit any issuer thereof to register such
Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
under applicable state securities laws.
(6) If Secured Party determines that it will sell all or part of the
Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, and if, in the opinion of Secured
Party it is necessary or advisable to have the Collateral, or that portion
thereof to be sold, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
any applicable state securities laws designated by Secured Party, Pledgors will,
at Pledgors' expense, use reasonable efforts to cause each issuer of the
Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, to execute and deliver, and
cause the directors and officers of each such issuer to execute and deliver all
such instruments and documents and cause such issuer(s), directors, and officers
to do or use reasonable efforts to cause to be done all such other acts and
things as may be necessary or, in Secured Party's opinion, advisable to register
the Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws designated by Secured
Party, and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become
effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the
first public offering of the Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and
to make all amendments thereto and to the related prospectus that, in Secured
Party's opinion, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state
securities laws designated by Secured Party, and the rules and regulations of
the SEC applicable thereto and any applicable state securities laws designated
by Secured Party. Pledgors agree to use reasonable efforts to cause each issuer
of the Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, to comply with Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction that Secured
Party shall designate and cause each such issuer to make available to its
security holders, as soon as practical, an earnings statement (which need not be
audited) that will satisfy the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
(7) On any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is hereby authorized
to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is necessary,
in the view of Secured Party's counsel, in order to avoid any violation of
applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or
purchasers by any applicable governmental authority.
Section 5.3 Performance by the Secured Party. If the Pledgors shall
--------------------------------
fail to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the
Note after being given notice of such failure by the Secured Party, the Secured
Party may perform or attempt to perform such covenant or agreement on behalf of
the Pledgor. In such event, the Pledgor shall, at the request of the Secured
Party, promptly pay any amount expended by the Secured Party in connection with
such performance or attempted performance to the Secured Party, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate from and including the date of such
expenditure to but excluding the date such expenditure is paid in full.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the Secured Party
shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any
obligation of the Pledgors under this Agreement on the Note.

Agreement, the Mortgages or the Note, or any of the transactions contemplated
