6. Pledgor’s Rights. As long as no Event of Default or event or condition which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, could mature into an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) Subject to any limitations imposed by any document or instrument binding on Pledgor or Laughlin, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Membership Interest or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document; provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of the Bank in respect of the Pledged Collateral or the value of the Pledged Collateral or which would authorize or effect (i) the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of Holdings or Laughlin, (ii) the consolidation or merger of Holdings or Laughlin with any other entity, (iii) the sale, lease, assignment, disposition, transfer, distribution or encumbrance of any material asset or property of Holdings or Laughlin without the prior written consent of the Bank, which consent may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the Bank, or (iv) the alteration of the voting rights

with respect to Pledged Collateral or any voting rights of Holdings in regard to Laughlin or (v) any violation of any agreement binding on Pledgor, Holdings or Laughlin; and

(b) All Proceeds of any kind, whether in cash or otherwise, in respect of the Membership Interest, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered by Pledgor to the Bank to be deposited in an interest bearing account (the “Account”) maintained by the Bank or, at the option of the Bank, at another federally insured financial institution selected by Pledgor and which is acceptable to the Bank (and which provides to the Bank such agreements as the Bank may require in regard to the Account and the pledge and granting of a security interest to the Bank of all interests of Pledgor in the Account) and held as Pledged Collateral as security for the Secured Obligations and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Bank, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor , and be immediately delivered to the Bank to be placed in the Account as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). All sums on deposit in the Account shall be held as additional security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Bank shall have the immediate right to demand and receive, use, apply or offset the whole or any part of such funds on deposit in the Account in such manner as the Bank may determine, including, without limitation, to the extent required for the payment of any sums then due and payable in connection with the Secured Obligations or for any sum which the Bank may expend or may be required to expend by reason of such Event of Default. If all of the Secured Obligations shall be paid and performed in full, then any funds then being held in the Account shall be returned to Pledgor. Pledgor hereby agrees to provide written notice of the date and amount of any distributions or other payments made in regard to the Membership Interests, with such notice to be provided as provided in Section k above and in any event prior to Pledgor’s receipt of any such distribution or other payment.

7. Defaults and Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Bank (personally or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to collect and directly receive and deposit in the Account all cash and other distributions made with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and to sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale is to take place (which notice Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable), but without any previous notice or advertisement, the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Bank was the outright owner thereof, Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Bank as the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so; provided, however, the Bank shall not have any duty to exercise any such right or to preserve the same and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so. Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at the Bank’s place of business, or at any public building in Collin County, Texas or elsewhere to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as the Bank may deem fair, and the Bank may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Pledgor or any right of redemption. Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but the Bank reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate. Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are

hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Bank.

(b) If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Pledged Collateral be offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to the Bank, in its discretion, the unlikelihood of the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Pledged Collateral being sufficient to discharge all the Secured Obligations, the Bank may, on one or more occasions and in its discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice to the Pledgor.

(c) In the event of any sales of Pledged Collateral hereunder the Bank shall, after deducting all reasonable costs or expenses of every kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) for collection, sale, delivery or otherwise, apply the residue of the proceeds of the sales to the payment or reduction, either in whole or in part, of the Secured Obligations in such order and amount as the Bank may elect, returning the surplus, if any, to Pledgor .

(d) If, at any time when the Bank shall determine to exercise its rights to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the Bank may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Bank may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 7, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Bank in its discretion (a) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Act (or similar statute), (b) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (c) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 7, if any of the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 7, then the Bank shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions (i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale, (ii) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof, (iii) as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information about the issuer of the Pledged Collateral and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment, for its own account, and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and (iv) as to such other matters as the Bank may,

in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

(e) Pledgor acknowledges that notwithstanding the legal availability of a private sale or a sale subject to the restrictions described above in Section 7(d), the Bank may, in its discretion, elect to register any or all the Pledged Collateral under the Act (or any applicable state securities law). Pledgor, however, recognizes that the Bank may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale (conducted in a commercially reasonable manner for private sales) may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Bank shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the registrant to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral would agree to do so.

(f) Pledgor agrees that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgor will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent Pledgor lawfully may do so. Pledgor agrees that Pledgor will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Bank provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Bank of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Bank to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon Pledgor by the Bank with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Bank’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against Pledgor in any respect.

(g) Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7 will cause irreparable injury to the Bank, that the Bank has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 7 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor , and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the Documents evidencing, securing or relating thereto.

8. Application of Proceeds. Any cash held by the Bank as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Bank in respect of any sale of, liquidation of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied by the Bank as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of the Bank’s reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Bank in connection therewith;

(b) Next, to the payment of the other Secured Obligations in such order and amounts as the Bank may elect in its sole discretion; and

(c) Finally, after payment in full of all Secured Obligations, to the payment to Pledgor, or Pledgor’s legal representatives, successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

9. Waiver. No delay on the Bank’s part in exercising any power of sale, lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon Pledgor by the Bank with respect to any power of sale, lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Bank’s right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Bank’s rights as against Pledgor in any respect.

10. Termination. Immediately following the full payment and discharge of the Loan and all obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement, the Bank shall deliver to Pledgor (without recourse, warranty or representation of any kind) a release of the Pledged Collateral, and, except as otherwise provided herein, all of Pledgor’s obligations hereunder shall at such time terminate.

11. Lien Absolute. All rights of the Bank hereunder, and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any agreement or instrument relating to, governing or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations;

(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations; or

(d) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor.

12. Release. Pledgor consents and agrees that the Bank may at any time, and from time to time, in its discretion (a) renew, extend or change the time of payment, and/or the manner, place or terms of payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, and (b) exchange, release and/or surrender all or any of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, which is now or may hereafter be held by the Bank in connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations, all in such manner and upon such terms as the

Bank may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from Pledgor, it being hereby agreed that Pledgor shall be and remain bound under this Agreement, irrespective of the existence, value or condition of any of the Pledged Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also that the Secured Obligations may at any time exceed the aggregate amount thereof set forth in any agreement governing any of the Secured Obligations. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the documents which evidence, secure or otherwise relate to any of the Secured Obligations, Pledgor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement, and also waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor of any and all of the Secured Obligations, and promptness in commencing suit against any party hereto or liable hereon, and in giving any notice to or of making any claim or demand hereunder upon Pledgor. No act or omission of any kind on the Bank’s part shall in any event affect or impair this Agreement.

13. Indemnification. Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and against any liabilities, claims and damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, and other expenses incurred or arising by reason of the taking or the failure to take action by the Bank, in good faith, in respect of any transaction effected under this Agreement or in connection with the security interest provided for herein, including, without limitation, any taxes payable in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral as provided herein (collectively “Indemnified Claims”). Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated, Pledgor agrees to pay to the Bank all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with this Agreement and all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by the Bank in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by the Bank of the provisions of this Agreement and of any transactions effected in connection with this Agreement. The obligations of Pledgor under this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, the indemnity provided for herein shall not apply to any Indemnified Claim of the Bank if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Indemnified Claim is the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank. PLEDGOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE INDEMNITY FOR WHICH PROVISION IS MADE HEREIN APPLIES TO, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE BANK.

14. 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, and, in any such case, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

15. Miscellaneous.
