Party of such systems and related software upon payment by Secured Party to such

ARTICLE 4
COVENANTS
4.1 TCS covenants and agrees with Secured Party as follows:
(a) TCS shall furnish to Secured Party such instruments as may
be required by Secured Party to assure the transferability of any Collateral
when and as often as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party.
(b) If the validity or priority of this Agreement or of any
material rights, titles, security interests or other interests created or
evidenced hereby shall be attacked, endangered or questioned or if any legal
proceedings are instituted with respect thereto, TCS will give prompt written
notice thereof to Secured Party and at TCS's own cost and expense will
diligently endeavor to cure any defect that may be developed or claimed, and
will take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of such legal
proceedings, and Secured Party (whether or not named as a party to legal
proceedings with respect thereto) is hereby authorized and empowered to take
such additional steps as in its reasonable judgment and discretion may be
necessary or proper for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the
protection of the validity or priority of this Agreement and the rights, titles,
security interests and other interests created or evidenced hereby, and all
expenses so incurred of every kind and character shall constitute sums advanced
pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the security interest in proceeds granted
herein, TCS will not, except as otherwise expressly permitted herein or in the
other Loan Documents, sell, lease, exchange, lend, rent, assign, license,
transfer or otherwise dispose of, or pledge, hypothecate or grant any Lien in,
or permit to exist any Lien against, all or any part of the Collateral or any
interest therein or permit any of the foregoing to occur or arise or permit
title to the Collateral, or any interest therein, to be vested in any other
party, in any manner whatsoever, by operation of law or otherwise, without the
prior written consent of Secured Party. Except as provided by the Loan Documents
or as otherwise permitted herein, TCS shall not, without the prior written
consent of Secured Party, (i) acquire any such Collateral under any arrangement
whereby the
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 5
6
seller or any other person retains or acquires any security interest in such
Collateral or (ii) return or give possession of any such Collateral to any
supplier or any other Person except in the ordinary course of business. Subject
to the exercise of Secured Party's rights and remedies granted herein or in any
other Loan Document, TCS may use the Collateral in any lawful manner not
inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or with the terms
or conditions of any policy of insurance thereon and may also sell or lease such
Collateral in the ordinary course of business except as otherwise provided under
the other Loan Documents. A sale in the ordinary course of business does not
include a transfer in partial or total satisfaction of a debt. Subject to the
exercise of Secured Party's rights and remedies granted herein or in any other
Loan Document, TCS may also use and consume any raw materials or supplies, the
use and consumption of which are necessary to carry on the business of TCS.
(d) If any portion of the Collateral is now or hereafter
evidenced by any promissory notes, trade acceptances or other instruments for
the payment of money having an original principal or face amount in excess of
$10,000, TCS will immediately deliver them to Secured Party, appropriately
endorsed to Secured Party's order. Regardless of the form of endorsement, TCS
waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest.
After an Event of Default which is continuing, but prior to such delivery, such
Collateral shall be held in trust for the benefit of Secured Party and subject
to the Liens granted herein.
(e) TCS shall maintain property and liability insurance
policies covering the Collateral and claims related to the Collateral
("Collateral Insurance") in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.7 of
the Credit Agreement. TCS shall deliver certificates evidencing renewal of the
Collateral Insurance before termination of any insurance policies representing
Collateral Insurance. Upon request, TCS shall deliver certificates evidencing
the Collateral Insurance and copies of the underlying policies as they are
available. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof, TCS shall notice Secured
Party of any casualty to the Collateral which exceeds $100,000 ("Material
Casualty"). At the request of Secured Party, TCS shall pursue claims for payment
related to the Material Casualty.
(f) Upon the receipt by Secured Party or TCS of any insurance
proceeds from insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section
6.7 of the Credit Agreement on account of (1) each separate loss, damage or
injury to any Collateral in excess of $100,000 if no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred which is continuing or (2) any separate loss, damage or
injury to any Collateral (regardless of the amount of loss, damage or injury) if
a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred which is continuing, such
insurance proceeds shall be promptly delivered and turned over to Secured Party
(if the same have not been previously received by Secured Party), and except as
otherwise specified below, such insurance proceeds shall be promptly applied by
Secured Party in payment of the Debt (such order and manner of application to he
at the discretion of Secured Party). With respect to such net insurance
proceeds, TCS may elect, by written notice delivered to Secured Party, not later
than the tenth day after receipt of such net proceeds by Secured Party or TCS,
to utilize and apply all or a portion of such net proceeds for the purpose of
replacing, repairing or restoring the relevant Collateral, and in such event,
any required application of such net proceeds against the Debt in accordance
with the preceding sentence shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of
such election by TCS. Such an election by TCS shall not be effective, however,
unless (1) at the time
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 6
7
of such election no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred which is
continuing, (2) TCS shall have certified to Secured Party that the net proceeds
of the insurance adjustment for such loss, damage or injury to Collateral,
together with other funds available to TCS, shall be sufficient to complete such
contemplated replacement, repair or restoration in accordance with all
applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, and (3) if the amount of the net
proceeds in question exceeds $100,000, TCS shall have obtained the written
consent of the Secured Party to such use and application of such insurance
proceeds.
(g) In the event of a valid election by TCS under Section
4.1(f) above to utilize all or a portion of such insurance proceeds to replace,
repair or restore the relevant Collateral, upon the request of Secured Party,
TCS shall place into an account under Secured Party's control (the "Insurance
Proceeds Account") the amount of net insurance proceeds to be utilized for such
contemplated replacement, repair or restoration, pursuant to agreements in form,
scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party (including a pledge
of such Insurance Proceeds Account as additional security for the Debt). The
Insurance Proceeds Account, including all earnings thereon, if any, shall be
available to TCS solely for the replacement, repair or restoration of the
Collateral suffering the applicable injury, loss or damage; provided, however,
that at any time that a Default or Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the balance of the Insurance Proceeds Account, together with all
earnings thereon, may be immediately applied by Secured Party to repay the Debt
in such order as Secured Party shall elect in its discretion. Secured Party
shall be entitled to require proof, as a condition to TCS making of any
withdrawal from the Insurance Proceeds Account, that the amount of such
withdrawal is being applied for the purposes permitted hereunder. Additionally,
any proceeds of the Insurance Proceeds Account may be made available and
advanced by Secured Party directly to TCS, or directly to suppliers,
manufacturers, contractors and other persons entitled to payment in accordance
with and subject to reasonable conditions to disbursements as Secured Party may
impose to assure that such replacement, repair or restoration of the relevant
Collateral is paid for and performed and that no Liens arise by reason thereof.
(h) No Inventory nor Equipment shall be located at any
location, other than the locations set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto,
which has not been disclosed in writing to Secured Party in advance of such
Inventory or Equipment being located at such location and for which Financing
Statements, and landlord subordinations or warehousemens' agreements, as the
case may be, (if such locations are not owned by TCS) covering such portion of
the Inventory or Equipment, as the case may be, have not been executed and
delivered by TCS and filed for record with the appropriate Governmental
Authority necessary to perfect the Liens granted hereby.
(i) TCS agrees to defend the Collateral and its proceeds
against all claims and demands of any Person at any time claiming the
Collateral.
4.2 If TCS fails to comply with any of its agreements, covenants or
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, after giving effect
to any applicable cure period, Secured Party (in TCS's name or in Secured
Party's own name) may perform them or cause them to be performed for the account
and at the expense of TCS, but shall have no obligation to perform any of them
or cause them to be performed. Any and all expenses thus incurred or paid
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 7
8
by Secured Party shall be TCS's obligations to Secured Party due and payable on
demand, or if no demand is sooner made, then they shall be due on or before four
(4) years after the respective dates on which they were incurred, and each shall
bear interest from the date one (1) Business Day after Secured Party demands
payment for such amounts until the date TCS repays such amounts to Secured
Party, at the Past Due Rate. Upon making any such payment or incurring any such
expense, Secured Party shall be fully and automatically subrogated to all of the
rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment. Any
amounts owing by TCS to Secured Party pursuant to this or any other provision of
this Agreement shall automatically and without notice be and become a part of
the Debt and shall be secured by this and all other instruments securing the
Debt. The amount and nature of any such expense and the time when it was paid
shall be fully established by the affidavit of Secured Party or any of Secured
Party's officers or agents. The exercise of the privileges granted to Secured
Party in this Section shall in no event be considered or constitute a cure of
the default or a waiver of Secured Party's right at any time after an Event of
Default to declare the Debt to be at once due and payable, but is cumulative of
such right and of all other rights given by this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement, the Notes and the Loan Documents and of all rights given Secured
Party by law.
ARTICLE 5
ASSIGNMENT OF PAYMENTS; CERTAIN POWERS
OF SECURED PARTY; NO ASSUMPTION
5.1 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as it is
continuing and has not been expressly waived by Secured Party in writing,
Secured Party may request TCS to notify each account debtor and each other
Person (each a "Collateral Obligor") obligated to make payment in respect of any
of the Collateral of the Liens in such Collateral granted herein and instruct
such Collateral Obligor to pay over to Secured Party, all or any part of the
Collateral without making any inquiries as to the status or balance of TCS and
without any notice to or further consent of TCS. If TCS does not promptly comply
with such request, Secured Party may, but shall not be obligated to, directly
notify each such Collateral Obligor of the Liens in the Collateral granted
herein and instruct such Collateral Obligor to pay over to Secured Party, all or
any part of the Collateral without making any inquiries as to the status or
balance of TCS and without any notice to or further consent of TCS.
5.2 The powers conferred on Secured Party pursuant to this Article 5
are conferred solely to protect Secured Party's interest in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty or obligation on Secured Party to perform any of the
powers herein conferred. Additionally, the powers conferred on Secured Party
pursuant to this Article 5 are cumulative of all other similar, related or
additional powers conferred on Secured Party by the terms and provisions of
Section 9.21 of the Credit Agreement and are not intended to limit or restrict
in any manner whatsoever any of such powers and rights conferred on Secured
Party under the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Documents. No exercise of any of such rights provided for in this Article 5 or
in the Credit Agreement shall constitute a retention of collateral in
satisfaction of the indebtedness as provided for in Section 9.505 of the Uniform
Commercial Code of Texas or the state or states where the applicable Collateral
is located.
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 8

ARTICLE 6
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
An Event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall constitute an
Event of Default (herein so called) under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 7
REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT
7.1 In addition to the other rights and remedies provided for in the
Credit Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default:
(a) Secured Party is authorized, in any legal manner and
without breach of the peace, to take possession of the Collateral (TCS HEREBY
WAIVES ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED WITH ANY SUCH TAKING,
EXCEPT AS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SECURED
PARTY) and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and to exercise
without interference from TCS any and all rights which TCS has with respect to
the management, possession, operation, protection, preservation, distribution or
resale of the Collateral, including the right to sell or rent the same for the
account of TCS and to deduct from such sale proceeds or such rents all costs,
expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Secured Party in
collecting such sale proceeds or such rents, and in managing, operating,
maintaining, protecting or preserving the Collateral and to apply the remainder
of such sales proceeds or such rents on the Debt in such manner as Secured Party
may elect. Before any sale, Secured Party may, at its option, complete the
processing of any of the Collateral and/or repair or recondition the same to
such extent as Secured Party may deem advisable and any reasonable sums expended
therefor by Secured Party shall be reimbursed by TCS. Secured Party may take
possession of TCS's premises to complete such processing, repairing and/or
reconditioning, using the facilities and other property of TCS to do so, to
store any Collateral and to conduct any sale as provided for herein, all without
compensation to TCS. All costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Secured
Party in collecting such sales proceeds or such rents, or in managing,
operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving such properties, or in
processing, repairing and/or reconditioning the Collateral if not paid out of
such sales proceeds or such rents as hereinabove provided, shall constitute a
demand obligation owing by TCS and shall bear interest from the date of
expenditure until paid at the Past Due Rate, all of which shall constitute a
portion of the Debt. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above,
Secured Party may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess TCS, including
specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer. In connection
with any action taken by Secured Party pursuant to this paragraph, Secured Party
shall not be liable for any loss sustained by TCS resulting from any failure to
sell or let the Collateral, or any part thereof, or from any other act or
omission of Secured Party with respect to the Collateral unless such loss is
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party, nor shall
Secured Party be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty, or
liability under any sale or lease agreement covering the Collateral or any part
thereof or under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or
remedies hereunder.
(b) Secured Party may, without notice except as hereinafter
provided, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale
(with or without appraisal or having the
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 9
10
Collateral at the place of sale) for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery,
and at such price or prices as Secured Party may deem best, and Secured Party
may be the purchaser of any and all of the Collateral so sold and may apply upon
the purchase price therefor any of the Debt and thereafter hold the same
absolutely free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. In any such public
or private sale, Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) submit a bid
in the form of a credit against the Debt owed to Secured Party, and Secured
Party or its designee may accept title to property purchased at such public or
private sale. Upon any such sale Secured Party shall have the right to deliver,
assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption,
stay or appraisal which TCS has or may have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter adopted. To the extent notice is required by applicable
law, Secured Party shall give TCS written notice at the address set forth herein
(which shall satisfy any requirement of notice or reasonable notice in any
applicable statute) of Secured Party's intention to make any such public or
private sale. Such notice (if any is required by applicable law) shall be
personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, at least ten (10) calendar days
before the date fixed for a public sale, or at least (10) calendar days before
the date after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless
the Collateral is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, is
perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value. Such notice (if any is
required by applicable law), in case of public sale, shall state the time and
place fixed for such sale or, in case of private sale or other disposition other
than a public sale, the time after which the private sale or other such
disposition is to be made. Any public sale shall be held at such time or times,
within the ordinary business hours and at such place or places, as Secured Party
may fix in the notice of such sale. At any sale, the Collateral may be sold in
one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels as Secured Party may determine.
Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any such
notice. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement
at any time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time
or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or
any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so
sold may be retained by Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the
purchaser thereof, but Secured Party shall not incur liability in case of the
failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold, and in
case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice.
Each and every method of disposition described in this Section shall constitute
disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Obligor, to the extent
applicable, shall remain liable for any deficiency.
(c) Secured Party shall have all the rights of a secured party
after default under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state or states where the
applicable Collateral is situated, and in conjunction with, in addition to or in
substitution for those rights and remedies:
(i) Secured Party may require TCS to assemble the
Collateral and make it available at a place Secured Party designates
which is mutually convenient to allow Secured Party to take possession
or dispose of the Collateral; and
(ii) it shall not be necessary that Secured Party
take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof before the time
that any sale pursuant to the provisions of
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 10
11
this Article is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the
Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such
sale; and
(iii) before application of proceeds of disposition
of the Collateral to the Debt, such proceeds shall be applied to the
reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease,
selling, leasing, licensing, sublicensing and the like, as well as
reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by Secured
Party, each Obligor, to the extent applicable, to remain liable for any
deficiency; and
(iv) the sale by Secured Party of less than the whole
of the Collateral shall not exhaust the rights of Secured Party
hereunder, and Secured Party is specifically empowered to make
successive sale or sales hereunder until the whole of the Collateral
shall be sold; and, if the proceeds of such sale of less than the whole
of the Collateral shall be less than the aggregate of the Debt, this
Agreement and the security interest created hereby shall remain in full
force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral just as
though no sale had been made; and
(v) in the event any sale hereunder is not completed
or is defective in the reasonable opinion of Secured Party, such sale
shall not exhaust the rights of Secured Party hereunder and Secured
Party shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be
made hereunder; and
(vi) any and all statements of fact made in any xxxx
of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure
sale hereunder shall be taken as rebuttable evidence of the truth of
the facts so stated; and
(vii) Secured Party may appoint or delegate any one
or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or
incident to any sale held by Secured Party, including the sending of
notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of
Secured Party; and
(viii) demand of performance, advertisement and
presence of property at sale are hereby WAIVED and Secured Party is
hereby authorized to sell hereunder any evidence of debt it may hold as
security for the Debt. Except as provided herein or in any other Loan
Document, all demands and presentments of any kind or nature are
expressly WAIVED by TCS. TCS WAIVES the right to require Secured Party
to pursue any other remedy for the benefit of TCS and agrees that
Secured Party may proceed against any Obligor for the amount of the
Debt owed to Secured Party without taking any action against any other
Obligor or any other person or entity and without selling or otherwise
proceeding against or applying any of the Collateral in Secured Party's
possession.
(d) Secured Party may apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, or a receiver and manager, over
TCS, or any or all of the Collateral, with such duties, powers and obligations
as the court making such appointment shall confirm,
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 11
12
and TCS hereby irrevocably consents to the appointment of such receiver or such
receiver and manager.
7.2 All remedies expressly provided for in the Agreement are cumulative
of any and all other remedies existing at law or in equity and are cumulative of
any and all other remedies provided for in any other instrument securing the
payment of the Debt, or any part thereof, or otherwise benefiting Secured Party,
and the resort to any remedy provided for hereunder or under any such other
instrument or provided for by law shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent
employment of any other appropriate remedy or remedies.
7.3 Secured Party may resort to any security given by this Agreement or
to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of
the Debt, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may
seem best to Secured Party in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, and any such
action shall not in anywise be considered as a waiver of any of the rights,
benefits or security interests evidenced by this Agreement.
7.4 To the full extent TCS may do so, TCS agrees that TCS will not at
any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law
now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or redemption, and TCS, for TCS, TCS's successors, receivers, trustees
and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the
Collateral, to the extent permitted by law, hereby WAIVE and release all rights
of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention
to mature or to declare due the whole of the Debt, notice of election to mature
or to declare due the whole of the Debt and all rights to a marshaling of the
assets of TCS, including the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of
alienation in the event of foreclosure of the security interest hereby created.
ARTICLE 8
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
8.1 Subject to the automatic reinstatement provisions of Section 8.21
below, upon full satisfaction of the Debt, complete performance of all of the
obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents and final termination of
Secured Party's obligations, if any, to make any further advances under any Note
or to provide any other financial accommodations to any Obligor, all rights
under this Agreement shall terminate and the Collateral shall become wholly
clear of the security interest evidenced hereby, and upon written request by TCS
such security interest shall be released by Secured Party in due form and at
TCS's cost.
8.2 Secured Party may waive any default without waiving any other prior
or subsequent default. Secured Party may remedy any default without waiving the
default remedied. The failure by Secured Party to exercise any right, power or
remedy upon any default shall not be construed as a waiver of such default or as
a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later
date. No single or partial exercise by Secured Party of any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be
exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any
provision hereof nor consent to any departure by TCS therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 12
13
and signed by Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instances, for the purpose for which given and to the
extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on TCS in any case shall of
itself entitle TCS to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Acceptance by Secured Party of any payment in an amount less than
the amount then due on the Debt shall be deemed an acceptance on account only
and shall not in any way affect the existence of a default hereunder.
8.3 Subject to Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement, Secured Party may
at any time and from time to time in writing (a) waive compliance by TCS with
any covenant herein made by TCS to the extent and in the manner specified in
such writing; (b) consent to TCS's doing any act which hereunder TCS is
prohibited from doing, or consent to TCS's failing to do any act which hereunder
TCS is required to do, to the extent and in the manner specified in such
writing; (c) release any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, from
the security interest of this Agreement; or (d) release any Person liable,
either directly or indirectly, for the Debt or for any covenant herein or in any
other instrument now or hereafter securing the payment of the Debt, without
impairing or releasing the liability of any other Person. No such act shall in
any way impair the rights of Secured Party hereunder except to the extent
specifically agreed to by Secured Party in such writing.
8.4 Secured Party shall not be required to take any steps necessary to
preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.
8.5 The Liens and other rights of Secured Party hereunder shall not be
impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release granted by Secured Party,
including but not limited to (a) any renewal, extension or modification which
Secured Party may grant with respect to the Debt; (b) any surrender compromise,
release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Secured Party may
grant in respect of any item of the Collateral, or any part thereof or any
interest therein; or (c) any release or indulgence granted to any endorser,
guarantor or surety of the Debt.
8.6 A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or
of any financing statement relating to this Agreement shall be sufficient as a
financing statement. TCS will cause all financing statements and continuation
statements relating hereto to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and refiled in
such manner and in such places as Secured Party shall reasonably request and
will pay all such recording, filing, re-recording, and refiling taxes, fees and
other charges.
8.7 This Agreement may be executed in several identical counterparts
and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each counterpart, when
so executed and delivered, shall constitute an original instrument, and all such
separate counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
8.8 In the event the ownership of the Collateral or any part thereof
becomes vested in a Person other than TCS, Secured Party may, without notice to
TCS deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this
Agreement and to the Debt in the same manner as with TCS, without in any way
vitiating or discharging TCS's liability hereunder or upon the
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 13
14
Debt. No sale of the Collateral, and no forbearance on the part of Secured Party
and no extension of the time for the payment of the Debt given by Secured Party
shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect, in whole or in
part, the liability of TCS hereunder for the payment of the Debt or the
liability of any other person hereunder for the payment of the Debt, except as
agreed to in writing by Secured Party or as expressly provided in the Credit
Agreement.
8.9 Any other or additional security taken for the payment of any of
the Debt shall not in any manner affect the security given by this Agreement.
8.10 To the extent that proceeds of the Debt are used to pay
indebtedness secured by any outstanding Lien against the Collateral, such
proceeds have been advanced by Secured Party at TCS's request, and Secured Party
shall be subrogated to any and all Liens owned by any owner or holder of such
outstanding Lien, irrespective of whether said Lien is released.
8.11 If any part of the Debt cannot be lawfully secured by this
Agreement, or if the Liens of this Agreement cannot be lawfully enforced to pay
any part of the Debt, then and in either such event, at the option of Secured
Party, all payments on the Debt shall be deemed to have been first applied
against that part of the Debt.
8.12 Subject to Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement
shall not be changed orally but shall be changed only by agreement in writing
signed by TCS and Secured Party. No course of dealing between the parties, no
usage of trade and no parole or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used
to supplement or modify any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
8.13 Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted
to be given hereunder shall be given as provided in the Credit Agreement.
8.14 This Agreement shall be binding upon TCS, and the trustees,
receivers, successors and assigns of TCS, including all successors in interest
of TCS in and to all or any part of the Collateral, and shall benefit Secured
Party and its successors and assigns.
8.15 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable under present or future laws, the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be
affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be liberally construed so as to carry
out the intent of the parties to it. Each waiver in this Agreement is subject to
the overriding and controlling rule that it shall be effective only if and to
the extent that (a) it is not prohibited by applicable law and (b) applicable
law neither provides for nor allows any material sanctions to be imposed against
Secured Party for having bargained for and obtained it.
8.16 Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it
takes such action for that purpose as TCS requests in writing, but failure of
Secured Party to comply with such request shall not of itself be deemed a
failure to have exercised reasonable care, and no failure of Secured Party to
take any action so requested by TCS shall be deemed a failure to exercise
reasonable care in the
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 14
15
custody or preservation of such Collateral. Secured Party shall not be
responsible in any way for any depreciation in the value of the Collateral, nor
shall any duty or responsibility whatsoever rest upon Secured Party to take any
steps to preserve rights against prior parties or to enforce collection of the
Collateral by legal proceedings or otherwise, the sole duty of Secured Party,
its successors and assigns, being to receive collections, remittances and
payments on such Collateral as and when made and received by Secured Party and,
as provided by the Credit Agreement, to apply the amount or amounts so received,
after deduction of any collection costs incurred, as payment upon any of the
Debt or to hold the same for the account and order of TCS.
8.17 In the event TCS instructs Secured Party, in writing or orally, to
deliver any or all of the Collateral to a third Person, and Secured Party agrees
to do so, the following conditions shall be conclusively deemed to be a part of
Secured Party's agreement, whether or not they are specifically mentioned to TCS
at the time of such agreement: (i) Secured Party shall not assume any
responsibility for checking the genuineness or authenticity of any Person
purporting to be a messenger, employee or representative of such third Person to
whom TCS has directed Secured Party to deliver the Collateral, or the
genuineness or authenticity of any document of instructions delivered by such
Person; (ii) TCS will be considered by requesting any such delivery to have
assumed all risk of loss as to the Collateral; (iii) Secured Party's sole
responsibility will be to deliver the Collateral to the Person purporting to be
such third Person described by TCS, or a messenger, employee or representative
thereof; and (iv) Secured Party and TCS hereby expressly agree that the
foregoing actions by Secured Party shall constitute reasonable care.
8.18 The pronouns used in this Agreement are in the masculine and
neuter genders but shall be construed as feminine, masculine or neuter as
occasion may request. "Secured Party", "Obligor" and "TCS" as used in this
Agreement include the heirs, devisees, successors, administrators, personal
representatives, trustees, beneficiaries, conservators, receivers, and
successors and assigns of those parties.
8.19 The section headings appearing in this Agreement have been
inserted for convenience only and shall be given no substantive meaning or
significance whatever in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Terms used in this Agreement which are defined in the Texas Uniform Commercial
Code are used with the meanings as therein defined. Wherever the term
"including" or a similar term is used in this Agreement, it shall be read as if
it were written "including by way of example only and without in any way
limiting the generality of the clause or concept referred to."
8.20 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (OTHER THAN THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES THEREOF) AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM TIME TO TIME IN
EFFECT.
8.21 TCS agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment
previously applied by Secured Party to the Debt is or must be returned by
Secured Party, or recovered from Secured Party, for any reason (including the
order of any bankruptcy court), this Agreement shall automatically be reinstated
to the same effect, as if the prior application had not been made, and, in
addition, TCS hereby agrees to indemnify Secured Party against, and to save and
hold Secured
SECURITY AGREEMENT (PERSONAL PROPERTY) - Page 15
16
Party harmless from any required return by Secured Party, or recovery from
Secured Party, of any such payments because of its being deemed preferential
under applicable bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency laws, or for any other
reason.
8.22 Secured Party may from time to time and at any time, without any
necessity for any notice to or consent by TCS or any other Person, release all
or any part of the Collateral from the security interests of this Agreement,
with or without cause, including as a result of any determination by Secured
Party that the Collateral or any portion thereof contains or has been
contaminated by or releases or discharges any hazardous or toxic waste, material
or substance.
8.23 THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES
AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT
ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN
THE PARTIES.
