obligation under any of the Obligation Documents, which doubt and
insecurity shall each be at Secured Party's sole discretion, whether or
not such discretion is exercised in a reasonable manner.
F. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Secured Party,
at its option, shall have and be entitled to exercise any one or more of the
following remedies:
(1) Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies provided for in
this agreement and in any other agreements between Secured Party and
Debtor including without limitation the Obligation Documents, the
rights and remedies under the Texas Business and Commerce Code, and all
rights and remedies available at law and in equity, all of which shall
be cumulative, including without limitation the right to take
possession of the Collateral, or any of the same, with or without
process of law, and, in this connection, to enter any premises, without
breach of the peace, where the Collateral is located to remove the
same, to render it unusable, or to dispose of the same on said premises
and, in this connection, to notify any one or more account debtors on
the accounts constituting a part of the Property and to require any of
such account debtors to make payment directly to Secured Party on such
terms and conditions as Secured Party, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate, or to require, at Secured Party's discretion, any such
account debtors

to direct payments into a bank lockbox for handling by Secured Party.
Any public sale of the Collateral after repossession shall be held only
after public notice of no less than five (5) days, and shall be held in
a commercially reasonable manner. Debtor hereby waives any requirement
for public notice of more than five (5) days for any such sale and
hereby agrees that five (5) days is a reasonable period for notice.
(2) Debtor shall be liable for and agrees to indemnify Secured Party from
and against, and to pay promptly, all loss, cost, risk, and expense,
even if caused by Secured Party's own sole or concurrent negligence,
incurred by Secured Party in enforcing its rights and remedies
hereunder, including without limitation all expenses incurred in
retaking, holding, testing, repairing, improving, selling, leasing, or
disposing of the Collateral, and all expenses of notifying the said
account debtors and collecting therefrom, and including without
limitation reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses incurred by
Secured Party, all of which expenses, together with interest thereon at
the rate of eighteen per cent (18%) per annum until paid, shall
constitute additional obligations of Debtor under Paragraph A above and
shall be secured by this agreement and the security interest created
hereby.
(3) Proceeds received by Secured Party from disposition of the Collateral
shall be applied toward Secured Party's expenses, including without
limitation reasonable attorney's fees, and other Secured Obligations of
Debtor in such order or manner as Secured Party may elect. Debtor shall
be entitled to any surplus, if one results after lawful application of
the proceeds; and Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
(4) The rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder shall be cumulative,
and the exercise of any one or more of the same shall not be deemed an
election of rights or remedies or a waiver of any other right or
remedy. Delay by Secured Party in invoking any remedy shall not be a
waiver of such remedy, but shall merely be a temporary forbearance.
Failure by Secured Party to invoke any available remedy in the event of
a particular breach shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other
remedy for that or any other breach, whether similar or dissimilar. It
is understood by Debtor that Secured Party shall have the right, but
not the obligation, from time to time temporarily to forbear from
invoking any remedy or remedies provided for herein, and Debtor wishes
to encourage such forbearance; therefore, Debtor covenants that no such
forbearance shall be interpreted as a waiver of any remedy, and Debtor
expressly agrees that after any such forbearance, for no matter how
long, Secured Party may invoke any remedy or remedies provided for
herein.
G. MISCELLANEOUS. In addition to the foregoing terms and conditions,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
(1) Debtor and each maker, surety, guarantor, endorser, and other party
liable in any capacity respecting the Secured Obligations, severally
waive demand for payment or performance, presentation for payment,

but not limited to, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of
protest, notice of intention to accelerate and notice of acceleration),
and diligence in collecting and diligence in bringing suit against any
party hereto, or against any one or more sureties, guarantors, or
endorsers, and agree (i) to all extensions, partial payments, renewals,
modifications, and rearrangements of the Secured Obligations, the
Obligation Documents, or any obligation thereunder, with or without
notice, before or after maturity, (ii) to any substitution, exchange,

Secured Obligations, (iii) that no judgment taken against any party
shall terminate any lien, security interest, or other interest of
Secured Party in any collateral securing any of the Secured
Obligations, (iv) to the release of any party primarily or secondarily
liable on any of the Secured Obligations, and (v) that it will not be
necessary for Secured Party, in order to enforce any of the Secured
Obligations, to first institute or exhaust Secured Party's remedies
against Debtor or against any other party liable therefor or against
any security for any of the Secured Obligations.
(2) Debtor and each maker, surety, guarantor, endorser, and other party
liable in any capacity respecting the Secured Obligations, severally
release Secured Party, its officers, directors, employees, and third
parties acting as agents for Debtor, and agree to hold them, and each
of them, harmless from and against, any loss, cost, risk, expense, and
liability arising from any acts under this agreement or in furtherance
of any rights and privileges granted or created hereunder or under any
of the Obligation Documents, whether as agent or attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, whether of omission or commission, and whether based upon
any error of judgment or mistake of law or fact, except for willful
misconduct.
(3) This agreement shall constitute a financing statement, and any carbon,
photographic, or other reproduction hereof or of any other financing
statement signed by Debtor or by Debtor's agent hereunder is sufficient
as a financing statement for all purposes, including without limitation
the filing for record in any state where permitted by the laws of such
state.
(4) POWER OF ATTORNEY. DEBTOR HEREBY APPOINTS SECURED PARTY AS THE AGENT
AND ATTORNEY-IN- FACT OF DEBTOR for the purpose of executing in the
name, place, and stead of Debtor, and on behalf of Debtor, any
financing statement (other than financing statements perfecting
purchase money security interests, which shall be executed by Debtor),
necessary or useful, in the opinion of Secured Party, in giving
evidence or notice of, or in perfecting, any security interest provided
for herein or in any of the other Obligation Documents. At any time and
from time to time, Secured Party may delegate in writing the authority
under the power of attorney under this subparagraph to any one or more
third parties to act as agent and attorney-in-fact for Debtor
hereunder. When acting as agent hereunder, neither Secured Party nor
any third party so acting shall be a fiduciary to Debtor or have any
fiduciary duty to Debtor by reason thereof, and the same shall have no
liability to Debtor for any act or omission by any of the same in the
capacity of agent except for the agent's liability for the agent's own
willful misconduct.
(5) The security interest hereby granted and all of the terms and
conditions of this agreement shall constitute a continuing agreement;
and they shall continue in full force and effect and remain effective
between the parties hereto until the earliest of either (a) the
expiration of four (4) years after payment in full and complete
satisfaction of all obligations of Debtor described herein, or (b) the
payment in full and complete satisfaction of all such obligations and
the giving by Debtor of ten (10) days written notice of the revocation
of this agreement, or (c) the release in writing by Secured Party of
this agreement and the obligations hereunder.

for herein shall extend to and secure the payment of any and all future
advances and future extensions of credit made by Secured Party to or
for Debtor.
(7) Debtor covenants that for so long as the debt and other obligations
secured hereby shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied in any part, Debtor
shall incur no debt or other obligations, except in the ordinary course
of business, other than the
Page 4 Debtor's Initials: /s/ICR
Security Agreement and Financing Statement
By MegaWorld, Inc., as Debtor Secured Party's Initials: /s/CDM
5
Permitted Encumbrances, without the express written consent of Secured
Party, which consent may be withheld or delayed in any manner,
reasonable or unreasonable.
(8) Debtor shall pay, in full before the same shall become delinquent, all
ad valorem taxes assessed against the Collateral. Secured Party shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to pay any tax or debt for
which Debtor is obligated and to be subrogated to all of the rights
against Debtor of the assessing authority or creditor, including
without limitation any liens and security interests securing the same,
and any such payment by Secured Party shall also be a future advance to
Debtor for purposes of this agreement.
(9) It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to
applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated
hereby or under any of the Obligation Documents would be usurious under
applicable law, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in any agreement entered into in connection with or as
security for the obligations created or secured hereby, it is agreed as
follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes
interest under applicable law that is taken, reserved, contracted for,
charged, or received under this agreement or under any of the
Obligations Documents or otherwise in connection with this agreement
shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest
allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited on the
Secured Obligations by Secured Party (or, if all of the Secured
Obligations shall have been paid and satisfied in full, refunded to the
Debtor); and (b) in the event that maturity of any of the Secured
Obligations is accelerated by reason of an election by Secured Party
resulting from any default hereunder, under the MegaWorld Promissory
note, under any of the other Obligation Documents, or otherwise, or in
the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such
consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the
maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and excess interest, if any,
provided for in this agreement or otherwise shall be canceled
automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if
theretofore prepaid, shall be credited on the Secured Obligations (or
if the Secured Obligations shall have been paid and satisfied in full,
refunded to the Debtor). It is further agreed that without limitation
of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted
for, charged, or received under this agreement, under the MegaWorld
Promissory Note, under any of the other Obligation Documents, or under
such other documents which are made for the purposes of determining
whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, as herein defined,
shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by
amortizing, prorating, allocating, and spreading and averaging during
the period of the full stated term of the debts and obligations
evidenced by this agreement, the MegaWorld Promissory Note, any of the
other Obligation Documents, or otherwise, all interest at any time
contracted for, charged, or received from the Debtor or otherwise by
Secured Party in connection with such debt or obligation. The term
"Highest Lawful Rate" shall be the highest non-usurious contract rate
of interest which Secured Party may charge, collect from, or contract
for with Debtor under applicable law and in regard to which Debtor
could not successfully assert a claim or defense of usury.
(10) Notices. Any notice under or by reason of this agreement shall be in
writing and, except as herein provided, shall be effective upon
delivery to the party to whom it is intended or upon either (a) the

agreement. Each party submits itself to the personal jurisdiction of
the state and federal courts sitting in Houston, Xxxxxx County, Texas.
This agreement is executed by the parties in Xxxxxx County, Texas;

be freely assignable, in whole or in part, and at any time and from
time to time, including without limitation in order to extend to and
protect any obligees under any of the Secured Obligations.
