all amounts which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by
Debtor, each Subsidiary or any other Person (other than Administrative Lender or
any Secured Party) to Administrative Lender or any Secured Party under any Loan
Paper, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the
existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law involving Debtor, any Subsidiary or any other Person (including all
such amounts which would become due or would be secured but for the filing of
any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency,
reorganization or like proceeding of Debtor, any Subsidiary or any other Person
under any Debtor Relief Law).
1.03. Debtor Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) Debtor shall remain liable under the contracts and
agreements included in the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform
all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this
Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by Administrative Lender or
any Secured Party of any of the Rights hereunder shall not release Debtor from
any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in

included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Administrative
Lender or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or
duties of Debtor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any
claim for payment assigned hereunder.
1.04. Agreement With Respect to Collateral. Debtor and Administrative
Lender, on behalf of itself and each of the Lenders party to the Credit
Agreement, agree that to the extent
3
that any of the Collateral may be deemed to be a Fixture as opposed to
Equipment, Inventory or any other form of Collateral that may be perfected by
the filing of a UCC financing statement, it is the intention of each of these
parties that such Collateral be deemed to be Equipment, Inventory or any other
form of Collateral that may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing
statement and such Collateral not be deemed to be a Fixture.

contract right constituting Collateral under this Agreement and with respect to

(d) Debtor will furnish to Administrative Lender from time to time
statements and schedules (including Schedules to this Agreement) further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection
with the Collateral as Administrative Lender may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail. Debtor will promptly furnish to Administrative Lender a copy
of each new or renewal, restatement or modification of any agreement included in
Collateral or otherwise described in Section 1.01 herein.
------------
(e) Other than with respect to the Interest Reserve Escrow Account,
Debtor shall not establish or maintain any deposit or similar bank account not
listed on Schedule 5 hereto unless Administrative Lender receives prior written
----------
notice thereof, Debtor executes and delivers to Administrative Lender
assignments of such account in such form as Administrative Lender may request
and the financial institution in which such account will be maintained delivers

enforcement of the security interest or the Collateral as provided pursuant to
the terms of the Credit Agreement.
(g) Debtor shall not amend, waive or consent to any deviation from any
term or provision of any documentation or agreements relating to the Senior
Notes.
3.02. Equipment, Fixtures and Inventory.
(a) Debtor shall keep the Equipment, Fixtures and Inventory pledged by
it hereunder (other than Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business) at
the places therefor specified in Section 2.01(a) herein or, upon thirty days'
---------------
prior written notice to Administrative Lender, at such other places in such
jurisdiction where all action required by Section 3.01 herein shall have been
------------
taken with respect to the Equipment and Inventory.
(b) Debtor shall maintain or cause to be maintained all their material
Properties necessary to the conduct of their business (whether owned or held
under lease) in reasonably good repair, working order and condition, taken as a
whole, and from time to time make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs,
renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto.
(c) The Debtor shall pay and discharge all Taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or its income or Properties prior
to the date on which penalties attach thereto, and all lawful material claims
for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might become a Lien upon any
of their Properties, except those Taxes, assessments and charges contested by
the Debtor diligently in good faith, and for which adequate reserves have been
established in accordance with GAAP. The Debtor shall timely file all
information returns required by federal, state or local Tax authorities.
3.03. Insurance. Debtor shall maintain insurance from responsible
companies in such amounts and against such risks as shall be customary and usual
in the industry for companies of similar size and capability, but in no event
less than the amount and types insured as of the Closing Date; provided,
however, the Debtor may self-insure its outside plant physical facilities,
consisting of the fiber optic cable network. Debtor shall promptly furnish to
Administrative Lender evidence of such insurance in form and content
satisfactory to Administrative Lender. If Debtor fails to perform or observe
any applicable covenants as to insurance on any of such Collateral,
Administrative Lender may at its own option obtain insurance on only
Administrative Lender's interest in such Collateral, any premium thereby paid by
Administrative Lender to become part of the Obligations, bear interest as
provided in the Credit Agreement. In the event
7
Administrative Lender maintains such substitute insurance, the additional
premium for such insurance shall be due on demand and payable by Debtor to
Administrative Lender in accordance with any notice delivered to Debtor by
Administrative Lender. Debtor hereby grants Administrative Lender a security
interest in any refunds of unearned premiums in connection with any
cancellation, adjustment or termination of any policy of insurance required by
Administrative Lender and in all proceeds of such insurance and hereby appoints
Administrative Lender its attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or draft that
may be payable to Debtor in order to collect such refunds or proceeds. Any such

applied to the purchase by Administrative Lender of similar insurance, to any
amounts then owing on the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

paper and Instruments.

the originals of all chattel paper (until delivered to Administrative Lender),
at the location therefor specified in Section 2.01(a) herein or at such other
---------------
location in the State of Georgia as Debtor shall have given written notice
thereof to Administrative Lender no later than thirty days prior to the moving
thereto. Debtor will hold and preserve such records and chattel paper and will
permit representatives of Administrative Lender to inspect and make abstracts
from and copies of such records and chattel paper as provided in the Credit
Agreement. Debtor shall deliver to Administrative Lender all Instruments to be
held by Administrative Lender as collateral.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.04(b), Debtor shall
---------------
continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due Debtor
under the Receivables, chattel paper and Instruments. In connection with such
collections, Debtor may take (and, at Administrative Lender's direction, shall
take) such action as Debtor or Administrative Lender may deem reasonably
necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Receivables, chattel paper
and Instruments; provided, however, that Administrative Lender shall have the
-------- -------
right (upon an Event of Default which is continuing) (without notice to Debtor)
to notify the account debtors or obligors under any Receivables, chattel paper
and Instruments of the assignment of such Receivables, chattel paper and
Instruments to Administrative Lender and to direct such account debtors or
obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Debtor
thereunder directly to Administrative Lender and, at the expense of Debtor, to
enforce collection of any such Receivables, chattel paper and Instruments, and
to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same
manner and to the same extent as Debtor might have done. Upon and after the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default that is continuing, all amounts and
proceeds (including Instruments) received by Debtor in respect of the
Receivables, chattel paper and Instruments shall be received in trust for the
benefit of Administrative Lender hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds
of Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to Administrative Lender in the same
form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be held as cash
collateral and either (a) released to Debtor so long as no Default or Event of
8
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (b) if any Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided herein.
Debtor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any
Receivable, chattel paper or Instrument, release wholly or partly any account
debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
3.05. Transfers and Other Liens. Debtor shall not (a) sell, assign (by
operation of Law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with
respect to, any of the Collateral, except as permitted under the Credit
Agreement, or (b) create or permit to exist any Lien, security interest, option
or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral,
except for the security interest under this Agreement (and except as provided
for in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement).
------------
3.06. Administrative Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Debtor hereby
irrevocably appoints Administrative Lender Debtor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or
otherwise to take any action and to execute any instrument which Administrative
Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including, without limitation (provided that the actions listed in
each clause below other than the obtainment and adjustment of insurance may only
be taken or exercised after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is
continuing):
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to Administrative
Lender pursuant to Section 3.03 herein,
------------
(b) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
connection with the Collateral,

and chattel paper, and
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
which Administrative Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection
of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance with the terms and
conditions of any Collateral or the rights of Administrative Lender with respect
to any of the Collateral. UPON AND AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT OR EVENT
OF DEFAULT THAT IS CONTINUING, DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY GRANTS TO
ADMINISTRATIVE LENDER DEBTOR'S PROXY (EXERCISABLE FROM AND AFTER THE OCCURRENCE
OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT WHICH IS CONTINUING) TO VOTE ANY SECURITIES COLLATERAL
AND APPOINTS ADMINISTRATIVE LENDER DEBTOR'S ATTORNEY-IN-FACT TO PERFORM ALL
OBLIGATIONS OF DEBTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND TO EXERCISE ALL OF ADMINISTRATIVE
LENDER'S RIGHTS HEREUNDER. THE PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY HEREIN GRANTED, AND
EACH STOCK POWER AND SIMILAR POWER NOW OR THEREAFTER GRANTED (INCLUDING ANY
EVIDENCED BY A SEPARATE
9
WRITING), ARE COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND ARE IRREVOCABLE PRIOR TO FINAL
PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS.
ARTICLE IV. RIGHTS AND POWERS OF ADMINISTRATIVE LENDER
4.01. Administrative Lender May Perform. If Debtor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, Administrative Lender may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Administrative Lender
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Debtor under Section 4.05
------------
herein.
4.02. Administrative Lender's Duties. The powers conferred on
Administrative Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it or any Secured Party to
exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder,
Administrative Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not
Administrative Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as
to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Administrative Lender accords its
own property. Except as provided in this Section 4.02, Administrative Lender
------------
shall not have any duty or liability to protect or preserve any Collateral or to
preserve rights pertaining thereto. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
be construed as requiring or obligating Administrative Lender, and
Administrative Lender shall not be required or obligated, to (a) present or file
any claim or notice or take any action, with respect to any Collateral or in
connection therewith or (b) notify Debtor of any decline in the value of any
Collateral.
4.03. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:
(a) Administrative Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available
to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the
Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the state in which the Collateral is
located at that time (the "UCC") (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code
applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require Debtor to, and
Debtor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of
Administrative Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by Administrative Lender and make it available to Administrative Lender
at a place to be designated by Administrative Lender which is reasonably
convenient to both parties or (ii) without notice, except as specified below,
sell the Collateral or any portion thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any of Administrative Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash,
on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Administrative
Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Debtor agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by Law, ten days' notice to Debtor of
10
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Administrative Lender
shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of
sale having been given. Administrative Lender 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.
(b) All cash proceeds received by Administrative Lender upon any sale
of, collection of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral
shall be applied as follows:
First: To the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
-----
connection with the sale of, collection of or other realization upon
Collateral, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements;
Second: To the payment of the Obligations as provided in the Credit
------
Agreement and in such order and in such manner consistent with applicable
Laws as Administrative Lender in its reasonable discretion shall decide
(with Debtor remaining liable for any deficiency); and
Third: To the extent of the balance (if any) of such proceeds, to the
-----
payment to Debtor or other Person legally entitled thereto.
(c) All payments received by Debtor under or in connection with any
Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of Administrative Lender,
shall be segregated from other funds of Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over
to Administrative Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary
indorsement).
4.04. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Debtor agrees to indemnify
Administrative Lender and each Secured Party from and against any and all
claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees) growing
out of or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation,
enforcement of this Agreement), expressly including such claims, losses or
liabilities arising out of mere negligence of Administrative Lender or any
Secured Party, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from
Administrative Lender's or any Secured Party's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
(b) Debtor will upon demand pay to Administrative Lender the amount of
any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of
its counsel and of any experts and agents, which Administrative Lender may incur
in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody,
preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of
any of the Rights of Administrative Lender hereunder or (iv) the failure by
Debtor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. Any payments so made
shall be a part of the Obligation, shall be payable upon demand, and shall bear
interest as provided in Article II of the Credit Agreement.
----------

4.05. Further Approvals Required. In connection with the exercise by
Administrative Lender of its rights hereunder that effects the disposition of or
use of any Collateral, it may be necessary to obtain the prior consent or
approval of Tribunals and other Persons to a transfer or assignment of
Collateral, including, without limitation, the FCC and any applicable PUC. In
connection with the exercise by the Administrative Lender or any other Secured
Party of its rights hereunder relating to the disposition of or operation under
any license issued by the FCC or any applicable PUC, or any other
authorizations, agreements, permits, licenses and franchises constituting
property of the Debtor, it may be necessary to obtain the prior consent or
approval of the FCC or any applicable PUC, other governmental authority or other
Persons to the exercise of rights with respect to the Collateral. The Debtor
hereby agrees to execute, deliver and file, and hereby appoints (to the extent
permitted under applicable law) the Administrative Lender as its attorney upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to execute,
deliver and file on the Debtor's behalf and in the Debtor's name, all
applications, certificates, filings, instruments and other documents (including
without limitation any application for an assignment or transfer of control or
ownership) that may be necessary or appropriate, in the Administrative Lender's
opinion, to obtain such consents or approvals. The Debtor further agrees to use
its best efforts to obtain such consents or approvals upon and after the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default that is continuing. The Debtor
acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply
with the provisions of this Section and that such failure would not be
adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that this Section may be
specifically enforced.
ARTICLE V. MISCELLANEOUS
5.01. Cumulative Rights. All Rights of Administrative Lender and Secured
Parties under the Loan Papers are cumulative of each other and of every other
Right which Administrative Lender and Secured Parties may otherwise have at Law
or in equity or under any other contract or other writing for the enforcement of
the security interest herein or the collection of the Obligations. The exercise
of one or more Rights shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent
exercise of other Rights.
5.02. Modifications; Amendments; Etc. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Debtor here
from, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by Administrative Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given; provided, however, that Debtor may change its name upon written notice to
Administrative Lender no less than 10 days prior to such name change.
5.03. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full
force and effect until the later of (i) the final payment in full of the
Obligations and all amounts payable under this Agreement and (ii) the expiration
or termination of the obligations of Secured Party to extend credit to Debtor,
(b) be binding upon Debtor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, Administrative Lender and its successors,
transferees and assigns. Upon any
12
such termination, Administrative Lender will, at Debtor's expense, execute and
deliver to Debtor such documents as such Debtor shall reasonably request to
evidence such termination.
5.04. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER LOAN PAPERS SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE
CONTRACTS MADE IN DALLAS, TEXAS, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST
HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS. WITHOUT
EXCLUDING ANY OTHER JURISDICTION AND NOT AS A LIMITATION OF SECTION 5.04, DEBTOR
------------
AGREES THAT THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF TEXAS LOCATED IN DALLAS, TEXAS, WILL
HAVE JURISDICTION OVER PROCEEDINGS IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DEBTOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE LENDER HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT
THAT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER A CLAIM IN TORT,
CONTRACT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE
OTHER LOAN PAPERS, OR ANY RELATED MATTERS, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL
BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
(b) DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY LEGAL PROCESS UPON IT.
DEBTOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT BY REGISTERED MAIL
(RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) DIRECTED TO DEBTOR AT ITS ADDRESS DESIGNATED FOR
NOTICE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED
FIVE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 5.04
------------
SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE LENDER TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
5.05. Administrative Lender's Right to Use Agents. Administrative Lender
may exercise its Rights under this Agreement through an agent or other designee.
5.06. No Interference, Compensation or Expense. Administrative Lender may
exercise its Rights under this Agreement (a) without resistance or interference
by Debtor and (b) without payment of any rent, license fee or compensation of
any kind to Debtor.
5.07. Waiver. Should any part of the Obligations be payable in
installments, the acceptance by Administrative Lender or any Secured Party at
any time and from time to time of partial payment of the aggregate amount of all
installments then matured shall not be deemed as a waiver of any Event of
Default then existing. No waiver of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be
a waiver of any other subsequent Event of Default, nor shall any such waiver be
13
deemed to be a continuing waiver. No delay or omission by Administrative Lender
or any Secured Party in exercising any Right hereunder, or under any other Loan
Papers, shall impair any such Right or be construed as a waiver thereof or any
acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such Right
preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other Right
of Administrative Lender or any Secured Party hereunder or under such other
agreements.
5.08. Waivers by Debtor. Debtor waives notice of the creation, advance,
increase, existence, extension, or renewal of, or of any indulgence with respect
to, the Obligations; waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, and
protest; waives notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time,
notice of any change in financial condition of any Subsidiary, notice of any
Default or Event of Default, and all other notices respecting the Obligations;
and agrees that maturity of the Obligations and any part thereof may be
accelerated, extended, or renewed one or more times by Secured Parties, in its
or their discretion, without notice to Debtor. Debtor waives (a) any claim
that, as to any part of the Collateral, a public sale, should Administrative
Lender elect so to proceed, is, in and of itself, not a commercially reasonable
method of sale for such Collateral, (b) except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE OR JUDICIAL HEARING
IN CONNECTION WITH ADMINISTRATIVE LENDER'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL
INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR
REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT THAT DEBTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, AND ALL OTHER
REQUIREMENTS AS TO THE TIME, PLACE AND TERMS OF SALE OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS WITH
RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE LENDER'S RIGHTS HEREUNDER and (c)
all rights of redemption, appraisal or valuation.
5.09. Other Parties and Other Collateral. No renewal, increase, or
extension of or any other indulgence with respect to, the Obligations or any
part thereof, no release, exchange, or taking of any security, no release of any
Person (including any Subsidiary, maker, endorser, guarantor, or surety) liable
on the Obligations, no delay in enforcement of payment, no delay or omission or
lack of diligence or care in exercising any Right or power with respect to the
Obligations or any security therefor or guaranty thereof or under this
Agreement, and no other circumstance or event which might constitute a defense
available to or discharge of Debtor, any Subsidiary or any other Person, shall
in any manner impair or affect the Rights of Administrative Lender or any
Secured Party hereunder, under any other Loan Papers, at Law, or in equity.
Neither Administrative Lender nor any Secured Party need file suit or assert a
claim for personal judgment against any Person for any part of the Obligations
or seek to realize upon any other security for the Obligations, before
foreclosing upon the Collateral for the purpose of paying the Obligations.
Debtor waives any Right to the benefit of or to require or control application
of any other security or proceeds thereof, and agrees that neither
Administrative Lender nor any Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation to
Debtor to apply any such other security or proceeds thereof to the Obligations.
Debtor hereby waives all
14
rights by which it might be entitled to require suit on an accrued right of
action in respect of any of the Obligations or require suit against Debtor, any
Subsidiary or others, whether arising pursuant to Section 34.02 of the Texas
Business and Commerce Code, as amended, Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil
Practice and Remedies Code, as amended, or Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil
Procedure, as amended, or otherwise.
5.10. Notices and Deliveries.
