2. Grant of Perfected First Priority Security Interest. As an
inducement for the Secured Party to extend the loan as evidenced by the

shall be in effect, Debtor shall not execute and shall not knowingly
permit to be on file in any such office or agency any such financing
statement or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed
or recorded in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this

or more financing statements under the UCC, with respect to the
Security Interest with the proper filing and recording agencies in any
jurisdiction deemed proper by them.

under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or
both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument
(evidencing Debtor's debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which
Debtor is a party or by which any property or asset of the Debtor is
bound or affected. No consent (including, without limitation, from
stockholders or creditors of the Debtor) is required for the Debtor to
enter into and perform its obligations hereunder.
(i) The Debtor shall at all times maintain the liens and Security

the Secured Party at any time or from time to time one or more
financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Secured Party and will pay the cost of filing the
same in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the
Secured Party to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and
obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Debtor shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts
necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interest
hereunder, and the Debtor shall obtain and furnish to the Secured Party
from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of

granted and evidenced by this Agreement.
4. Defaults. The following events shall be "Events of
Default":
(a) The occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the
Debenture) under the Debenture;
(b) Any representation or warranty of Debtor in this Agreement
shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made;
(c) The failure by Debtor to observe or perform any of its
obligations hereunder for five (5) days after delivery to Debtor of
notice of such failure by or on behalf of a Secured Party; or
(d) If any provision of this Agreement shall at any time for any
reason be declared to be null and void, or the validity or
enforceability thereof shall be contested by Debtor, or a Proceeding
shall be commenced by Debtor, or by any governmental authority having
jurisdiction over Debtor, seeking to establish the invalidity or
unenforceability thereof, or Debtor shall deny that Debtor has any
liability or obligation purported to be created under this Agreement.
5. Duty To Hold In Trust. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default and at any time thereafter, the Debtor shall, upon receipt of any
revenue, income or other sums subject to the Security Interest, whether
payable pursuant to the Debenture or otherwise, or of any check, draft,
note, trade acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay
any such sum, hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and shall
forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, to the
Secured Party for application to the satisfaction of the Obligations.
6. Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party shall
have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under
the Debenture, and the Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies
of a secured party under the UCC. Without limitation, the Secured Party
shall have the following rights and powers:
(a) The Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of
the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and
assistance of any person, any premises where the Collateral, or any
part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and the Debtor
shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured
Party at places which the Secured Party shall reasonably select,
whether at the Debtor's premises or elsewhere, and make available to
the Secured Party, without rent, all of the Debtor's respective
premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured Party taking
possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or
disposable form.
(b) The Secured Party shall have the right to operate the
business of the Debtor using the Collateral and shall have the right to
assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part
of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either with
or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or
for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or
times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions
as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, all without
(except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be
waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Debtor or right
of redemption of a Debtor, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon
each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the
Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be
waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free
from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and
equities of the Debtor, which are hereby waived and released.
7. Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of any such sale,
lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder shall be applied
first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and
preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation,
any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the
Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the
Secured Party in enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with
collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to
satisfaction of the Obligations to the Secured Party based on its then
outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, and to the payment of any
other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party
shall pay to the applicable Debtor any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale,
license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally
entitled, the Debtor will be liable for the deficiency, together with
interest thereon, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser amount
permitted by applicable law (the "Default Rate"), and the reasonable fees of
any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Debtor waives all claims,
damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the
repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party.
8. Costs and Expenses. The Debtor agrees to pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection
with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any
financing statements pursuant to the UCC, continuation statements, partial
releases and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of
any searches reasonably required by the Secured Party. The Debtor shall
also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the
Secured Party might prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or
the Security Interest therein. The Debtor will also, upon demand, pay to the
Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents,
which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of
this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii)
the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party under
the Debenture. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to
the principal amount of the Debenture and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate.
9. Responsibility for Collateral. The Debtor assumes all
liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the
Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss,
destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability
for any reason.
10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured
Party and all Obligations of the Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability
of this Agreement, the Debenture or any agreement entered into in connection
with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the
time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of,
all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to any departure from the Debenture or any other agreement entered
into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or
nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or
waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any
guaranty, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any
action by the Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole
discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection
with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute any legal or equitable defense available to a Debtor, or a
discharge of all or any part of the Security Interest granted hereby. Until
the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of
the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for
any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute
of limitations or bankruptcy. The Debtor expressly waives presentment,
protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for
performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or
any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final
order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable
preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws
of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party
other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Debtor's
obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and
shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or
cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding
obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.
The Debtor waives all right to require the Secured Party to proceed against
any other person or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Party may hold
at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. The Debtor
waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of
limitations to any obligation secured hereby.
11. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security
Interest shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the
Debenture have been made in full or have been satisfied and all other
Obligations have been paid or discharged. Upon such termination, the Secured
Party, at the request and at the expense of the Debtor, will join in
executing any termination statement with respect to any financing statement
executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement.
12. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.
(a) The Debtor authorizes the Secured Party, and does hereby
make, constitute and appoint the Secured Party and its respective
officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of
substitution, as the Debtor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with
power, in the name of the Secured Party or the Debtor, to, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i)
endorse any note, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of
payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy
of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into
possession of the Secured Party; (ii) to sign and endorse any financing
statement pursuant to the UCC or any invoice, freight or express xxxx,
xxxx of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors,
assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and
other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge
taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time
levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to
demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and xxx for monies due
in respect of the Collateral; and (v) generally, to do, at the option
of the Secured Party, and at the expense of the Debtor, at any time, or
from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party deem
necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the
Security Interest granted therein in order to effect the intent of this
Agreement and the Debenture all as fully and effectually as the Debtor
might or could do; and the Debtor hereby ratifies all that said
attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable
for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the
Obligations shall be outstanding.
(b) On a continuing basis, the Debtor will make, execute,
acknowledge, deliver, file and record, as the case may be, with the
proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction, including,
without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule B attached
hereto, all such instruments, and take all such action as may
reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested
by the Secured Party, to perfect the Security Interest granted
hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this
Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Secured Party the
grant or perfection of a perfected security interest in all the
Collateral under the UCC.
(c) The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as
the Debtor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and
instead of the Debtor and in the name of the Debtor, from time to time
in the Secured Party's discretion, to take any action and to execute
any instrument which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable
to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the filing, in
its sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation
statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral
without the signature of the Debtor where permitted by law.
13. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be subject to the notice provision of the
Purchase Agreement.
14. Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now
or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the
guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Secured
Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish,
subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without
in any way modifying or affecting any of the Secured Party's rights and
remedies hereunder.
15. Best Efforts for Licensed Collateral. Notwithstanding any
other provision contained herein or any of the Transaction Documents, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Debtor hereby agrees that with
respect to any part of the Collateral which may require the consent of any
third party or third parties in order for Debtor to transfer and/or convey
its interest in and to such Collateral to the Secured Party, as may be
required in accordance herewith, Debtor agrees to and shall use its best
efforts to obtain such consents or approvals in as expedient a manner as
possible.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) No course of dealing between the Debtor and the Secured
Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the
part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or
under the Debenture shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(b) All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with
respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the
Debenture or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by

written agreement specifically referring to this Agreement and signed
by the parties hereto.
(d) In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any
reason, unless such provision is narrowed by judicial construction,
this Agreement shall, as to such jurisdiction, be construed as if such
invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been more narrowly
drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement is held
to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such
provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent
of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other
provisions of this Agreement and without affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision or the other provisions of this
Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
(e) No waiver of any breach or default or any right under this

of each party hereto and its successors and assigns.

State of Texas, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Debenture (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors,
officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Dallas, Texas.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Dallas, Texas
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any
such court, or that such Proceeding is improper. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence
of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it
under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good
and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all
right to trial by jury in any legal Proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If
