and except to the extent specific remedies may generally be limited by equitable principles.
4. PLEDGOR’S COVENANTS.

Collateral.
4.3 Dividends and Distributions. If Pledgor shall receive any dividend or

Lender shall have no duty to preserve such security, but may do so at the expense of Pledgor,
without waiving such default.

4.8 Modification of Collateral. So long as any Obligations remain outstanding in
favor of Lender, without the express prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, Pledgor shall not agree to, or otherwise permit, any modification of any of
the terms of any instrument, agreement or document pursuant to which Pledgor is created, organized
or operated (collectively, “Operating Documents”), and shall not, without the express written

discretion, authorize, issue, or permit the authorization or issuance of, any additional ownership

4.9 Right of Lender to Notify Others. At any time upon an Event of Default hereunder,
Lender may notify any persons obligated on any Collateral of such Event of Default and request such
person to make payments directly to Lender and Lender may take control of all proceeds of any
Collateral.
4.10 Power of Attorney. Pledgor appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact with full
power in Pledgor’s name and behalf to do every act which Pledgor is obligated to do or may be
required to do hereunder; however, nothing in this section shall be construed to obligate Lender to
take any action hereunder. The power of attorney hereby created is a power coupled with an
interest, and shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not exercise the
foregoing power of attorney unless (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder or under
any other Credit Document, or (ii) Pledgor has failed to perform any act which Pledgor is obligated
to do or may be required to do hereunder within ten (10) days of written notice from Lender to

outstanding at any time, notice of any change in financial condition of any person liable for the
Obligations or any part thereof, notice of any event of default, and all other notices respecting
the Obligations; and agree that maturity of the Obligations and any part thereof may be
accelerated, extended or renewed one or more times by Lender in its discretion, without notice to
Pledgor (including notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration).
4.12 Other Parties and Other Collateral. The obligations of Pledgor
under this Agreement shall be direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the
pursuit of any remedies against any other person or entity or against the security or liens or
encumbrances available to Lender or any of its successors and assigns. Pledgor hereby waives any
right to require that an action be brought against any other person or entity or to require that
resort be had to any security or to any balance of any account or credit on the books of Lender in
favor of any other person or entity prior to any exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. No
renewal or extension of or any other indulgence with respect to the Obligations or any part
thereof, no release of any security, no release of any person (including any maker, endorser,
guarantor or surety) liable on the Obligations, no delay in enforcement of payment, and no delay or
omission or lack of diligence or care in exercising any right or power with respect to the
Obligations or any security therefor or guaranty thereof or under this Agreement shall in any
manner impair or affect the rights of Lender under the law, hereunder or under any other agreement
pertaining to security for the Obligations. Pledgor waives any right to the benefit of or to
require or control application of any other security or proceeds thereof, and agrees that Lender
shall have no duty or obligation to Pledgor to apply to the Obligations any such other security or
proceeds thereof.
4.13 Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by or against Lender
relating to the Collateral, Pledgor will save, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against
all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
reduction of liability whatsoever of any obligor thereunder, arising out of or relating to a breach
by Pledgor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of or relating to any other agreement,
indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such obligor or its successors from
Pledgor, and all such obligations of Pledgor shall be and shall remain enforceable against and only
against Pledgor and shall not be enforceable against Lender. The foregoing obligation of Pledgor
to indemnify Lender shall not extend to any suit, proceeding or action arising out of Lender’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5. RIGHTS AND POWERS OF LENDER
5.1 Voting Rights After Event of Default. After an Event of Default and for so long
as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will not,
without the prior written consent of Lender, exercise any voting rights under the Operating
Documents and (i) Lender may, upon prior written notice to Pledgor of its intention to do so,
exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights with respect to the
Collateral, but under no circumstances is Lender obligated by the terms of this Agreement to
exercise such rights, and (ii) in addition to any other grants hereunder, upon such event, Pledgor
hereby appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and irrevocable proxy to vote the
Collateral in any manner Lender deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may
be submitted to a vote of the owners of the Corporation. The power of attorney granted hereby is
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Obligations remain
unpaid.
5.2 Voting Rights Prior to Event of Default. Prior to an Event of Default and for so
long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, Pledgor may exercise all voting rights, and all
other ownership or consensual rights with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, Pledgor
covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Lender (i) vote or take
any consensual action with respect to the Collateral which would materially and adversely affect
the Collateral or Lender’s secured interest therein; including, without limitation accepting any
distributions from the Corporation not permitted under Section 4.3 hereof; or (ii) vote or take any
consensual action with respect to the Corporation’s governing documents; provided, however, that
Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed action.
5.3 Security Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Texas (“UCC”).
6. DEFAULT.
6.1 Events of Default. The following shall be deemed “Events of Default” hereunder:
(a) The failure of Pledgor: (i) to make any payment under the Note when due, or (ii)
to make any other payment under the Credit Documents when due or after demand;
(b) Default in the performance or observance of the terms and conditions of Pledgor’s
covenants herein;
(c) Any representation or warranty made under this Agreement shall be incorrect or
misleading in any material respect when made;
(d) An Event of Default shall occur under the any Credit Document;
(e) A proceeding is instituted by a party other than Corporation or Pledgor or any
affiliate of Corporation or Pledgor seeking a decree or order for relief in respect of
Corporation or Pledgor in any case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
constituted, or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law now or hereafter in effect, or for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation or
Pledgor, or for any substantial part of the property of the Corporation or Pledgor, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of the business or affairs of the Corporation or Pledgor, and
such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty
(60) consecutive days, or a decree or order shall be entered granting the relief sought in
such proceeding;
(f) The Corporation or Pledgor shall generally fail to pay, or admit an inability to
pay, its debts as they become due, or shall voluntarily commence proceedings under the
Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for
relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Pledgor or the Corporation
shall take any action consenting to or in furtherance of any of the foregoing;
4
(g) Levy on, seizure or attachment of the Collateral by any person or entity; or
(h) the average trading price of the Stock shall be equal to or less than $7.00 per
share for any consecutive ten (10) trading day period.
6.2 Remedies of Lender Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or
at any time thereafter, Lender without notice or demand may enforce payment of the Obligations then
due, whether due by acceleration in whole or part or otherwise, and may exercise any rights under
the UCC, rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement, or otherwise. The proceeds of any
disposition of Collateral after an Event of Default shall be applied to the Obligations in such
order and in such manner as Lender in its discretion shall decide. Lender may transfer, sell, or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral at a public or private sale or
make other commercially reasonable disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof after
twenty (20) days notice to Pledgor, and Lender may purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof
at any public or private sale, and any such sale made in good faith by Lender shall be deemed to be
“commercially reasonable”. Failure of Lender to exercise any of the above rights, powers and
remedies (“Rights”) in the event of any default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
exercise the same in connection with such default or any subsequent default. The aforementioned
Rights are cumulative of each other; the resort to any Right or Rights shall not prevent the
concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate Rights and no single or partial
exercise of any Right shall exhaust it, or preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and
every Right may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No failure by Lender to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any Right, shall be deemed a waiver or modification of any Right.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 6.1(h) above,
Lender shall have the right, after five (5) business days notice of the occurrence of such Event of
Default and opportunity to cure (it being agreed among the parties that an increase in the average
trading price during such five (5) business day period shall not cure such Event of Default by
itself), to sell the Stock and to apply the proceeds towards the Obligations in such order and in
such manner as Lender in its discretion shall decide.
7. GENERAL
7.1 Parties Bound. Lender’s rights and interests hereunder shall inure to the benefit
of its successors and assigns, and in the event of any assignment or transfer of any of the
Obligations or the Collateral, Lender thereafter shall be fully discharged from any responsibility
with respect to the Collateral so assigned or transferred, but Lender shall retain all rights and
powers hereby given with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral not so assigned or
transferred. All representations, warranties and agreements of Pledgor shall be binding upon the
personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of Pledgor. Time is of the essence of this
Agreement.
7.2 Waiver. No delay of Lender in exercising any power or right shall operate as a
waiver or modification thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right
preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver
by Lender of any right hereunder or of any default by Pledgor shall be binding upon Lender unless
in writing, and no failure by Lender to exercise any power or right hereunder or waiver of any
default by Pledgor shall operate as a waiver of any other or further exercise of such right or
power or of any further default.
7.3 Release of Security Interest. Upon payment or performance in full of all
Obligations secured hereby, Lender shall release the security interest granted herein, release the
Collateral as provided in Section 1.1, and execute any such termination statements as may be
necessary therefor.
5
7.4 Governing Law. The validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement
shall, except to the extent expressly provided below, for all purposes be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflicts of law principles, and applicable United
States federal law, and is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent
permitted by, such laws. Pledgor acknowledges that the Debt was submitted for review, negotiation
and approval to Lender at its principal place of business in the State of Texas, and that any
payments due under the Debt shall be made to Lender’s offices in the State of Texas at the address
as set forth herein.
7.5 Forum. All obligations of Pledgor hereunder are payable and performable in Xxxxxx

respect of Pledgor’s property to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any local court, or any United
States federal court, sitting in or having jurisdiction for the County of Xxxxxx, State of Texas,
over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Pledgor hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Pledgor may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such court and any claim that any such court is an
inconvenient forum. Pledgor hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service
of process provided for under applicable law, all services of process in any such suit, action or
proceeding in any local court, or any United States federal court, sitting in or having
jurisdiction for the County of Xxxxxx, State of Texas, may be made by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, directed to Pledgor at its address stated in Section 8.13, and service so
made shall be complete five (5) business days after the same shall have been so mailed. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit
the right of Lender to bring proceedings against Pledgor in any other court or jurisdiction.
7.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLEDGOR AND LENDER
HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND OR
PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO
OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALING OF PLEDGOR AND LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLEDGOR AND
LENDER HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE
DECIDED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT LENDER OR PLEDGOR MAY FILE AN EXECUTED COPY OF
THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT OR OTHER TRIBUNAL AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF PLEDGOR AND
LENDER TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. IT IS AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER
CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDINGS INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS
KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY PLEDGOR AND PLEDGOR HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT NO
REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL
BY JURY, THAT THEY HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS
WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED BY PLEDGOR OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH INDEPENDENT COUNSEL.
7.7 Modifications. No provision hereof shall be modified or limited except by a
written agreement expressly referring hereto and to the provisions so modified or limited and
signed by Pledgor and Lender. No modification or limitation may be accomplished by course of
conduct, usage of trade, or by the law merchant.
7.8 Severability. In the event any provision (or any part of any provision) contained
in this Agreement shall for any reason be finally held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of the affected provision, or application
of the provision to other circumstances) but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid
illegal or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained herein, but only to
the extent it is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
6
7.9 Financing Statement. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this
Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral shall be sufficient as a financing
statement.

Lender from time to time may reasonably request, to effect the provisions of and to carry out the
intent of this Agreement.

provided for in this Agreement in connection with any Obligations secured hereby, such charge or
expense will not be made or incurred in connection with such Obligations beyond the limits
