Secured Party, as its interest may appear. All such insurance shall contain a
clause which provides that Secured Party's interest under the policy will not be

located during such times for the purpose of inspecting the same or otherwise
protecting its interests therein.

notice or lapse of time or both, would be an Event of Default.

agreement, the reasonable expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection with
such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then
in effect in respect of the Notes, shall be payable by Pledgor to Secured Party
on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations hereunder.

release of, or non-perfection of any lien on, any other collateral, or any
release or amendment, modification, waiver, consent, release, or other action

interest in the Collateral as permitted under this Agreement, in addition
to all other rights and remedies granted to Secured Party in this Agreement
and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing, or relating
to the Notes, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in force in the State of
Texas as of the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Secured Party may (i) without demand or notice to Pledgor,
collect, receive, or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof
and for that purpose Secured Party may enter upon any premises on which the
Collateral is located and remove the Collateral therefrom or render it
inoperable, and/or (ii) sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or
private sale or sales, at Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash,
on credit, or for future delivery. Upon the request of Secured Party,
Pledgor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured
Party at any place designated by Secured Party that is reasonably
convenient to Pledgor and Secured Party. Pledgor agrees that Secured Party
shall not be obligated to give more than five (5) days' written notice of
the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any
private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute
reasonable notice of such matters. Pledgor shall be liable for 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 Notes and the enforcement of Secured Party's
rights under this Agreement.
(d) Secured Party may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to
be transferred into the name of Secured Party or the name or names of
Secured Party's nominee or nominees.
(e) In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection, or
realization of Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which
Secured Party is legally entitled, Pledgor shall be liable for the
deficiency, together with interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to
12%, and together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees of
any attorneys or agents employed to collect such deficiency.
11. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or
-----------------------
other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied and
distributed by Secured Party in the following order of priorities:
first, to Secured Party in an amount sufficient to pay in full the
-----
expenses of Secured Party in connection with such sale, disposition or
other realization, including all expenses, liabilities and advances
incurred or made by Secured Party in connection therewith, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees;
11
second, to Secured Party in an amount equal to the then unpaid
------
principal of and accrued interest and prepayment premiums, if any, on
the Secured Obligations; and
finally, upon payment in full of all of the Notes, to pay to
-------
Pledgor, or its representatives or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from such
proceeds.
12. Indemnification. Pledgor hereby assumes all liability for the
---------------
Collateral, and for any use, possession and management of the Collateral,
including without limitation, any taxes arising as a result of, or in connection
with, the transactions contemplated herein and agrees to assume liability for,
and to indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless from and against any and all
claims, causes of action, or liability, howsoever arising from or incident to
such use, possession and management. Pledgor further agrees to exonerate
Secured Party from any liability for any loss, depreciation or other damage to
the Collateral by virtue of any action on inaction of Secured Party.
13. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
-------------
and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Pledgor
for liquidation or reorganization, should Pledgor become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of Pledgor's assets, and shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a
"voidable preference", "fraudulent conveyance", or otherwise, all as though such
payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any
part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured
Obligations, shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
14. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) Waivers. Pledgor hereby waives (i) any right to require Secured
-------
Party to proceed against any other person or entity, to exhaust its rights in
the Collateral, or to pursue any other right which Secured Party may have; (ii)
with respect to the Secured Obligations, except as expressly required by the
Secured Obligations, presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of
protest and non-payment, notice of the intention to demand or accelerate, notice
of acceleration and notice of dishonor, and diligence in collection, review or
sale of Collateral, grace, notice and protest; and (iii) all rights of
redemption and of marshalling in respect of any and all of the Collateral.
(b) Relief in Bankruptcy. For good and valuable consideration,
--------------------
Pledgor agrees that Secured Party shall be entitled to relief from the automatic
stay imposed by Section 362 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as amended, on or
against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to the
Secured Party hereunder or under any or all of the Notes, in the event Pledgor
files any petition for bankruptcy or is placed into or is the subject of a
petition for bankruptcy under Title 11 of the U.S. Code or suffers the
appointment of any trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian.
12
(c) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited
------------
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(d) No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Secured Party shall not by any
------------------------------
act, delay, omission, or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or
remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by
Secured Party and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by
Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Secured Party would otherwise
have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in
exercising on the part of Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The
rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised
singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies
provided by law.
(e) Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents and other
