Rights of Secured Parties and Debtor
Section 4.1 Power of Attorney. DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES
AND APPOINTS COLLATERAL AGENT AND ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF, WITH FULL POWER
OF SUBSTITUTION, AS ITS TRUE AND LAWFUL ATTORNEY-IN-FACT WITH FULL IRREVOCABLE
POWER AND AUTHORITY IN THE PLACE AND STEAD AND IN THE NAME OF DEBTOR OR IN ITS
OWN NAME, FROM TIME TO TIME IN COLLATERAL AGENT'S DISCRETION, TO TAKE ANY AND
ALL ACTION AND TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS WHICH MAY BE
NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS POWER
OF ATTORNEY IS A POWER COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE.
Collateral Agent shall not be under any duty to exercise or withhold the
exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges, and options expressly or
implicitly granted to Secured Parties in this Agreement, and shall not be liable
for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Collateral Agent shall not be
liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of
fact or law in its individual capacity or in its capacity as attorney-in-fact
except acts or omissions resulting from its willful misconduct. This power of
attorney is conferred on Collateral Agent solely to protect, preserve, and
realize upon Secured Parties' security interest in the Collateral.

Section 4.2 Secured Parties' Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of
reasonable care in the physical custody of the Collateral while held by Secured
Parties hereunder, Secured Parties shall not have any responsibility for or
obligation or duty with respect to all or any part of the Collateral or any
matter or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, including, without
limitation, any obligation or duty to collect any sums due in respect thereof or
to protect or preserve any rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that Debtor shall be
responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Secured Parties shall be conclusively deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral if Secured
Parties take such action, for purposes of preserving rights in the Collateral,
as Debtor may reasonably request in writing, but no failure or omission or delay
by Secured Parties in complying with any such request by Debtor, and no refusal
by Secured Parties to comply with any such request by Debtor, shall be deemed to
be a failure to exercise reasonable care.
Default
Section 5. Rights and Remedies. If any event of default shall occur
under either the Notes or this Agreement, Secured Parties shall have all of the
rights and remedies of secured parties under the Uniform Commercial Code as
adopted by the State of Texas as well as any other rights and remedies permitted
under or provided by applicable law.
Agreement Among Secured Parties
Section 6.1 Financing Statement. Secured Parties together will file one
financing statement covering all of the Collateral in the name of the Collateral
Agent in order to simultaneously perfect their security interest in the
Collateral.
Section 6.2 Appointment of Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent is hereby
appointed, empowered and authorized to act as the agent-in-fact for each Secured
Party for the sole purpose of filing the financing statements and enforcing
Secured Parties' rights under their respective Notes and this Agreement. Each
Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes Collateral Agent to take such
action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement
as are delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by this Agreement and the Notes, Collateral Agent may, but shall
not be required to, exercise discretion or to take any action that it deems
reasonable, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon the
written instructions of all of Secured Parties; provided, however, that
Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that is contrary to
this Agreement, the Notes or applicable law.
Section 6.3 Duties. Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive authority
to seek administration, enforcement and collection of the Debtor's obligations
under each of the Notes and this Agreement. Absent the unwillingness of
Collateral Agent to enforce Secured Parties' rights under this Agreement,
Secured Parties shall refrain from independently seeking collection and
enforcement of the obligations under this Agreement. If one of Secured Parties
shall obtain any
6
7
payment or funds, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or
otherwise), in excess of its pro rata share of payments, such recipient Secured
Party shall pay to the Collateral Agent its pro rata share of such excess
payment or funds, and Collateral Agent shall reallocate such funds pro rata
among all of Secured Parties. If all or a portion of any payment received by one
of Secured Parties is held to constitute a preference or otherwise recovered
under the bankruptcy laws, or if for any other reason such Secured Party is
required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to Debtor or any third
party, the Collateral Agent shall pay such Secured Party its pro rata share of
such recovered payment.
Section 6.4 Enforcement. Upon enforcement and collection of the
obligations in whole or in part under this Agreement, Secured Parties will share
pro rata in the proceeds resulting from such collections based upon the ratio of
the amount due and owing to Secured Parties under their respective Notes to the
aggregate amount due and owing under all of the Notes.
Miscellaneous
Section 7.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of
Secured Parties to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing
with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The
rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
Section 7.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of Debtor and Secured Parties and their respective
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, except that Debtor may
not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of Secured Parties.
Section 7.3 Amendment; Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT EMBODIES THE
FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDES ANY AND ALL
PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER
WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL

party in a notice to the other party given in accordance with this Section.

shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
TEXAS and the applicable laws of the United States of America.
Section 7.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 7.7 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 of this Agreement, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 7.8 Headings. The headings, captions and arrangements used in
this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation
of this Agreement.
Section 7.9 Construction. Debtor and Secured Parties acknowledge that
each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been
