Section 5.1. Voting Rights. Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose; provided that Grantor shall not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of any Pledged Equity or on the Secured Party’s security interest or the value thereof; and provided further that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice from the Secured Party to Grantor, all rights to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party, which thereupon shall have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights.

ARTICLE VI

Remedies, Powers and Authorizations

Section 6.1. Normal Provisions Concerning the Collateral.

(a) Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file, without the signature of Grantor, in any jurisdiction any amendments to existing financing statements and any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that:

(i) indicate the nature of the Collateral;

(ii) contain any other information required for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Grantor; and

(iii) properly effectuate the transactions described in the Loan Documents, as determined by the Secured Party in its discretion.

Grantor will furnish any such information to the Secured Party promptly upon request. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement describing any Collateral is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in any jurisdiction by the Secured Party. Grantor ratifies and approves all financing statements heretofore filed by or on behalf of the Secured Party in any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Grantor appoints the Secured Party as Grantor’s attorney in fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including any action or instrument:

(i) to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral;

(ii) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other Instruments or Documents;

(iii) to enforce any obligations included in the Collateral; and

(iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Grantor or the Secured Party with respect to any Collateral.

Such power of attorney and proxy are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable, and are to be used by the Secured Party for its sole benefit.

(c) If Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Secured Party may, but shall have no obligation to, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor under Section 6.6.

(d) If any Collateral in which Grantor has granted a security interest hereunder is at any time in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee or any of Grantor’s agents, Grantor shall, upon the request of the Secured Party, notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder and instruct such Person to hold all such Collateral for the Secured Party’s account subject to the Secured Party’s instructions. No such request by the Secured Party shall be deemed a waiver of any provision hereof that was otherwise violated by such Collateral being held by such Person prior to such instructions by Grantor.

(e) Grantor hereby authorizes and directs Company to register Grantor’s pledge to Secured Party of the Collateral on the books of Company and, following written notice to do so by Secured Party after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to make direct payment to Secured Party of any amounts due or to become due to Grantor with respect to the Collateral. Any moneys received by Secured Party shall be applied to the Obligations in such order and manner of application as Secured Party may from time to time determine in its sole discretion.

(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(i) Grantor shall remain liable to perform all duties and obligations under the agreements included in the Collateral to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed.

(ii) The exercise by the Secured Party of any right hereunder shall not release Grantor from any duty or obligation under any agreement included in the Collateral.

(iii) The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under the agreements in respect of the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated to perform any duty or obligation of Grantor thereunder or take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Section 6.2. Event of Default Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may from time to time in its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided below:

(a) Exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other right and remedy provided for herein, under the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and any other applicable law.

(b) Require Grantor to, and Grantor will at its expense and upon request of the Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Party and make it (together with all books, records and information of Grantor relating thereto) available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties.

(c) Prior to the disposition of any Collateral:

(i) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premises where any Collateral is or may be located, and without charge or liability to the Secured Party seize and remove such Collateral from such premises;

(ii) have access to and use the Company’s books, records, and information relating to the Collateral; and

(iii) store or transfer any Collateral without charge in or by means of any storage or transportation facility owned or leased by Grantor, process, repair or recondition any Collateral or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent the Secured Party deems appropriate and, in connection with such preparation and disposition, use without charge any copyright, trademark, trade name, patent or technical process used by Grantor.

(d) Reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure.

(e) Dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Grantor or elsewhere, any Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (but that the sale of any Collateral shall not exhaust the Secured Party’s power of sale, and sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any Collateral.

(f) Buy Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public sale.

(g) Buy Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale if any Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type that is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations.

(h) Apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Grantor consents to any such appointment.

(i) Comply with any applicable state or federal Law requirement in connection with a disposition of Collateral and such compliance shall not be considered to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Collateral.

(j) Sell Collateral without giving any warranty with respect to title or any other matter and for cash, on credit or for non-cash consideration as the Secured Party determines is appropriate.

(k) To the extent notice of sale shall be required by law with respect to Collateral, at least 10-days’ notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification; provided that, if the Secured Party fails in any respect to give such notice, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it by law under the UCC. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

Section 6.3. Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any cash held by or on behalf of the Secured Party and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any Collateral may, in the discretion of the Secured Party, be held by the Secured Party as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Secured Party against, any Secured Obligation, in the following manner:

(a) First, paid to the Secured Party for any amounts then owing to the Secured Party pursuant to the Credit Agreement or otherwise under the Loan Documents or that has otherwise been incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the payment or other satisfaction of any Lien, encumbrance or adverse claim upon or against any Collateral or any other action that the Secured Party determines is reasonably appropriate in connection with the preservation or maintenance of the Collateral.

(b) Second, paid to the Secured Party in payment of the Secured Obligations.

(c) Third, any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to Grantor or to whatever Person may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

Section 6.4. Deficiency. Collateral may be sold at a loss to Grantor, and the Secured Party shall have no liability or responsibility to Grantor for such loss. Grantor acknowledges that a private sale may result in less proceeds than a public sale.

Section 6.5. Private Sales of Pledged Equity. The Secured Party may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Equity and may determine to make one or more private sales of such Pledged Equity to a restricted group of purchasers that will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the same for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Any such private sale may be at a price and on other terms less favorable to the seller than the price and other terms that might have been

obtained at a public sale. Any such private sale nevertheless shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, and the Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit their registration for public sale under the Securities Act. Any offer to sell any such Collateral that has been:

(i) publicly advertised on a bona-fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of Dallas, Texas (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act), or

(ii) made privately in the manner described above to not less than 15 bona-fide offerees,

shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” under Section 9-610(c) of the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and the Secured Party may bid for such Collateral.

Section 6.6. Indemnity and Expenses. In addition to, but not in qualification or limitation of, any similar obligations under other Loan Documents:

(a) Grantor will indemnify the Secured Party and any agent appointed pursuant to Section 6.9 from and against all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement), WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CLAIMS, LOSSES AND LIABILITIES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT CAUSED BY OR ARISING OUT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities are proximately caused by such indemnified party’s individual gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Grantor will upon demand pay to the Secured Party the amount of all costs and expenses, including the fees and disbursements of the Secured Party’s counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Secured Party may incur in connection with:

(i) the transactions that give rise to this Agreement;

(ii) the preparation of this Agreement and the perfection and preservation of this security interest created under this Agreement;

(iii) the administration of this Agreement;

(iv) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral;

(v) the exercise or enforcement of any right of the Secured Party hereunder; or

(vi) the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

Section 6.7. Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to the Secured Party the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Grantor waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right that might otherwise require the Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process and confirms that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. The Secured Party may, however, in its discretion, resort to judicial process.

Section 6.8. Limitation on Duty of the Secured Party in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
