"Rider"). You may, in your sole discretion and without notice to us, disburse
any or all of the proceeds of any or all of the Advances made by you to such
person or persons as you deem necessary to insure that the security interest in
or lien upon the Collateral shall at all times have the priority represented by
us in this Agreement. You may, in your sole discretion, at any time reduce the
Percentage Advance Rate or the Advance amounts set forth in any Rider. You may,
from time to time, reimburse yourself for any loan, interest due, fees or
expenses, or any third party for any of our Obligations by charging our loan

the prior month. In no event whatsoever shall the interest rate and other

Term.
3. COLLATERAL.
(A) Grant of Security Interest. As security for the Obligations, we
hereby grant you a continuing security interest in the Collateral. We
acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Rider shall be
(i) construed as your agreement to resort or look to a particular type of
Collateral as security for any loan to us, or limit in any way your right to
resort to any or all of the Collateral as security for any of the Obligations,
or (ii) deemed to limit or reduce any security interest in or lien upon any
portion of the Collateral for the Obligations.
(B) Perfection and Protection of Security Interest. We shall, at our
expense, perform all steps requested by you at any time to perfect, maintain,
protect, and enforce your security interest in the Collateral, including,
without limitation, executing and filing financing, continuation statements and
amendments thereof, and searches to confirm the priority of your security
interests, in form and substance satisfactory to you, placing notations on our
books of account to disclose your security interest therein, and taking such
other steps as are deemed necessary by you to maintain your control of and
security interest in the Collateral, and delivering to you all letters of credit
on which we are named beneficiary. You may file, without our signature, one or
more financing statements disclosing your security interest under this
Agreement. We agree that a carbon, photographic, photostatic, or other
reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a
financing statement. If any Collateral is at any time in the possession or
control of any warehouseman, bailee or any of our agents or processors, we shall
notify such person of your security interest in such Collateral and, upon your
request, instruct them to hold all such Collateral for your account subject to
your instructions. From time to time, we shall, upon your request, execute and
deliver confirmatory written instruments pledging to you the Collateral, but our
failure to do so shall not affect or limit your security interest or other
rights in and to the Collateral. Until all Obligations have been fully
satisfied, your security interest in the Collateral shall continue in full force
and effect.
(C) Attorney-in-Fact. We hereby appoint you and any designee of yours
as our attorney-in-fact and authorize you or such designee, at our sole expense,

5
or such designee's discretion all or any of the following powers, which powers
of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all
Obligations have been paid in full: (a) receive, take, endorse, assign, deliver,
accept and deposit, in your name or our name, any and all cash, checks,
commercial paper, drafts, remittances and other instruments and documents
relating to the Collateral or the proceeds thereof, (b) transmit to account
debtors, other obligors or any bailees notice of your interest in the Collateral
or request from account debtors or such other obligors or bailees at any time,

and any amounts owing with respect thereto, (c) notify account debtors or other
obligors to make payment directly to you, or notify bailees as to the

effect collection of or other realization upon the accounts and other
Collateral, (e) after a Default, change the address for delivery of mail to us
and to receive and open mail addressed to us, (f) after a Default, extend the
time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, creditor, return of
merchandise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all accounts or other
Collateral which includes a monetary obligation and discharge or release the

(g) file against us in your favor financing statements or amendments thereto
with respect to the Collateral.

contemplated by this Agreement, each Guarantor agrees with you as follows:

each of such duties, agreements and obligations and to pay forthwith each such
amount to you regardless of any defense or setoff or counterclaim which Borrower
may have or assert, and regardless of any other condition or contingency.
(B) Nature of Guaranty. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
constitute an absolute and unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment and
not a guaranty of collection and are wholly independent of and in addition to

any such rights and remedies, such pursuit being hereby waived by each
Guarantor.
6

Default first make demand upon, or seek to enforce remedies against, Borrower or

the Guarantors hereunder will not be discharged except by complete performance
of all obligations of Borrower contained in this Agreement and the Note, (iii)
agrees that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall remain in full

limitation on the liability of Borrower thereunder, or any limitation on the
method or terms of payment thereunder which may or hereafter be caused or
imposed in any manner whatsoever (including, without limitation, usury laws),
(iv) waives diligence, presentment and protest with respect to, and any notice
of default or dishonor in the payment of any amount at any time payable by

to, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder and (v) agrees that the
Guaranteed Obligations shall include any amounts paid by Borrower to you which
may be required to be returned to Borrower or any Guarantor or to any
representative, trustee, custodian or receiver for Borrower or any such
Guarantor.
(D) Obligations Absolute. The obligations, covenants, agreements and
duties of the Guarantors under this Agreement shall not be released, affected or
impaired by any of the following whether or not undertaken with notice to or
consent of any Guarantor: (i) an assignment or transfer, in whole or in part, of
the Advances made to Borrower or of this Agreement or any Note although made
without notice to or consent of the Guarantors, or (ii) any waiver by you or by
any other person, of the performance or observance by Borrower of any of the
agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in this Agreement, any Note
or any Loan Document, or (iii) any indulgence in or the extension of the time

consolidation of Borrower or any Guarantor with any other person, or (vii) the
release or discharge, by operation of law, of Borrower or any Guarantor from the
performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition
contained in the Loan Documents, or (viii) any other cause whether similar or
dissimilar to the foregoing which would release, affect or impair the
obligations, covenants, agreements or duties of the Guarantors hereunder.
(E) No Investigation. Each Guarantor hereby waives unconditionally any
obligation which, in the absence of such provision, you might otherwise have to
investigate or to assure that there has been compliance with the law of any
jurisdiction with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations recognizing that, to
save both time and expense, each Guarantor has requested that you not undertake
such investigation. Each Guarantor hereby expressly confirms that the
obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
without regard to compliance or noncompliance with any such law and irrespective
of any investigation or your knowledge of any such law.
(F) Indemnity. As a separate, additional and continuing obligation,
each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with you
that, should the Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from the Guarantors
under Paragraph 4(A) for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation,
by reason of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan
Document
7
being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable
law) then, notwithstanding any knowledge thereof by you at any time, each
Guarantor as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by you, will
make payment to you of the Guaranteed Obligations by way of a full indemnity in
such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in this Agreement and
the Note.
(G) Subordination, Subrogation, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees that any
present or future Indebtedness of (i) Borrower to any Guarantor, or (ii) any
Guarantor to any other Guarantor, shall be fully subordinate and junior in right
and priority of payment to the Obligations. Each Guarantor waives any right of
subrogation to your rights against Borrower or any other person obligated for
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and any right of reimbursement or
indemnity whatsoever arising or accruing out of any payment which any Guarantor
may make pursuant to this Agreement and the Note, and any right of recourse to
security for the debts and obligations of Borrower, unless and until the entire
principal balance of and interest on the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been
paid in full.
(H) Waiver. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Guarantor agrees
that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take any benefit or advantage of any applicable present or future stay,
extension or moratorium law, which may affect observance or performance of the
provisions of the Loan Documents; nor will it claim, take or insist upon any
benefit or advantage of any present of future law providing for the evaluation
or appraisal of any security for its obligations hereunder or those of Borrower
under this Agreement and under the Note prior to any sale or sales thereof which
may be made under or by virtue of any instrument governing the same; nor will
it, after any such sale or sales claim or exercise any right, under any
applicable law, to redeem any portion of such security so sold.

(Q) We own all properties on which Collateral is located other than the

assets (either of Borrower or any Guarantor alone or of Borrower and the

subject to any provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document that may cause
the Advances to be deemed secured, directly or indirectly, by margin stock;

administration of this Agreement contains any material misstatement of fact or,
when considered together with Borrower's filings with the SEC and all other
information so furnished to you, omits to state any material fact or any fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances in which they were made. Neither this Agreement, the Note nor
any other Loan Document, certificate, or report or statement or other
information furnished to you by or on behalf of Borrower or any Guarantor in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or, when considered together with Borrower's
filings with the SEC and all other information so furnished to you, omits to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein
and therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were
made. There is no fact known to Borrower or any Guarantor which materially and
adversely affects, or which in the future may (so far as Borrower or any
Guarantor can now foresee) materially and adversely affect, the business,
properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, which has not been set forth
in this Agreement or in the other documents, certificates, statements, reports

integrated operation requires financing on such a basis that credit supplied can
be made available from time to time to Borrower and the Guarantors, as required
for the continued successful operation of Borrower and the Guarantors and the
integrated operation as a whole, and Borrower and the Guarantors have requested
that you make credit available to Borrower primarily for the purpose of
financing the integrated operation of Borrower and Guarantors, with each of
Borrower and Guarantors expecting to derive benefit, directly or indirectly,
from the credit extended by you, both in its separate capacity and as a member

performance of the functions of the integrated group as a whole;

Indebtedness as it matures, and has capital sufficient to carry on its business

any one or more of the following: (a) declare our Obligations, whether evidenced

(B) You may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private
sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as
you deem advisable, at your discretion, and may, if you deem it reasonable,
postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time
and place of sale of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new

patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and

You will return any excess to us and we shall remain liable for any deficiency.
(C) IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT HEREUNDER, WE HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO
NOTICE AND HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY YOU OF YOUR RIGHTS TO REPOSSESS THE

COLLATERAL WITHOUT NOTICE OR HEARING AND ALL RIGHTS OF SET-OFF AND COUNTERCLAIM
AGAINST YOU.
15. WAIVER; AMENDMENTS; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Your failure to exercise
any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or any Rider or other agreement
between you and us or delay by you in exercising the same will not operate as a
waiver. No waiver by you will be effective unless in writing and then only to
the extent stated. No waiver by you shall affect your right to require strict
performance of this Agreement. Your rights and remedies will be cumulative and
not exclusive. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally. All terms,
conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties shall inure to the
benefit of and bind your and our respective representatives, successors and

16. BANKRUPTCY PROVISIONS. In consideration of your agreements hereunder
and under the Loan Documents, we agree that, in the event any one or more of us
(as a "Debtor" or "Debtors") files for relief under Title 11 of the United
States Code ("Bankruptcy Code") or is otherwise subject to an order for relief
under the Bankruptcy Code, that as to each Debtor:
(A) Relief From Stay. You shall be entitled to relief from the
automatic stay imposed by Bankruptcy Code Section 362 on or against the exercise
of any and all rights and remedies available to you under this Agreement, the
Loan Documents or applicable law, if Debtor fails to file a Plan of
Reorganization within 180 days or fails to obtain confirmation of a Plan of
Reorganization within 90 days after such filing. We specifically acknowledge
that "cause" exists for such relief within the meaning of Section 362(d) of the
Bankruptcy Code.
(B) Cash Collateral. Any attempt by Debtor to use "Cash Collateral"
(as defined in Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be subject to the prior
entry of an order pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code ("Cash
Collateral Order") specifically incorporating the principal terms set forth on
Schedule 16(B) attached hereto and the Debtor shall under no circumstances seek
to use Cash Collateral other than on the terms provided in this Agreement. Any
such Cash Collateral Order shall permit the use of Cash Collateral only until
the earliest to occur of: (i) a Default under any of the provisions of this
Agreement or the Loan Documents (other than a Default occasioned solely by the
bankruptcy of Debtor), (ii) the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or examiner
in Debtor's case, (iii) the dismissal of Debtor's case or its conversion to a
case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iv) the entry of an order
modifying or terminating the automatic stay or prohibiting the further use of
cash collateral. Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in (i)
through (iv) of the preceding sentence, Debtor's ability to use Cash Collateral
shall terminate immediately and automatically; such termination shall not,
however, affect or impair the rights, interests or liens granted to you under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
All existing and future revenue and cash shall constitute Cash Collateral,
subject to your xxxxxx, fully perfected and presently enforceable liens and
security interests, and, to the extent they are used and consumed by Debtor
after filing of the petition or entry of the order for relief, Debtor
specifically agrees that they are collateral for your secured claims under
Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code in the amount so used.
18
To the extent it is determined that Section 552(a) of the Bankruptcy Code
applies to limit your interest under the Loan Documents and this Agreement you
shall be deemed to have, as adequate protection for the use of Cash Collateral,
a continuing perfected protection for the use of Cash Collateral, a continuing
perfected post-bankruptcy lien and security interest in all Collateral, and all
revenue and cash, whether derived from operations prior to or subsequent to or
the filing of a voluntary of involuntary petition for relief with respect to
Debtor. As further adequate protection for Debtor's use of Cash Collateral,
Debtor shall maintain at all times an adequate and appropriate amount and type
of coverage of insurance, including endorsements issued therewith covering the
Collateral in amounts not less than that required under the Loan Documents. To
the extent that the collateral securing your claims in Debtor's bankruptcy case
is deemed or proves to be insufficient to pay your claims in full, your secured
claims shall be deemed to have been inadequately protected by the provisions of
the Cash Collateral Order, and they shall therefore have administrative expenses
of the kind specified in Sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code,
which superpriority shall be equal to the priority provided under the provisions
of Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code over all other costs and
administrative expenses incurred in the case of the kind specified in, or
ordered pursuant to, Sections 105, 326, 327, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a),
507(b) or 726 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall at all times be senior to the
rights of Debtor or any successor trustee in the resulting bankruptcy proceeding
or any subsequent proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.
During the pendency of Debtor's bankruptcy, if it is determined that any of
the rights granted hereunder or by any of the Loan Documents are security
interests or liens, they shall be deemed perfected without the necessity of the
filing of any documents or commencement of proceedings otherwise required under
non-bankruptcy law for the perfection of security interests, with such
perfection being binding upon any subsequently appointed trustee, either in
Chapter 11 or under any other Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, and upon other
creditors of Debtor who have or may hereafter extend secured or unsecured credit
to Debtor.
(C) Surcharge Waiver. Debtor and/or any other representative of
Debtor's bankruptcy estate waives any right to seek a surcharge of your
collateral under 11 U.S.C. (S) 506(c) or any other provision of applicable law.
(D) Other Waivers. Debtor waives any right to seek an order under 11
U.S.C. (S)(S) 363, 364, 1129 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code,
imposing liens or security interests of senior or equal priority with your liens
and security interests in the Collateral or the Cash Collateral.
(E) Other Actions Not Prohibited. Nothing contained in this Paragraph
16 shall be deemed to limit or restrict your rights to seek in the bankruptcy
court any relief that you may deem appropriate in the event of a bankruptcy
commenced by or against Debtor, and in particular, you shall be free to seek the
dismissal or conversion of any case filed by Debtor, the appointment of a
trustee or examiner, and relief from the automatic stay.
17. MISCELLANEOUS.
(A) If any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or
invalid, under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to such extent,
without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
(B) This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance
with the laws of the state set forth on the Term Sheet.
19
(C) All of our representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and acceptance thereof by the
parties.
(D) No termination of this Agreement or of any guaranty of the
Obligations shall affect or impair the powers, obligations, duties, rights,
warranties, representations or liabilities of the parties hereto and all shall
survive such termination.
(E) Each Obligation may, in your discretion, be evidenced by notes or
other instruments issued or made by us to you. If not so evidenced, such
Obligation shall be evidenced solely by entries upon your books and records.
(F) All Obligations shall constitute one loan secured by the
Collateral. You may, in your sole discretion: (i) exchange, enforce, waive or
release any of the Collateral or (ii) apply Collateral and direct the order or
manner without affecting your right to take any other action with respect to any
other Collateral.
(G) You shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or
reverse and re-apply any and all payments to any portion of the Obligations. To
the extent that we make a payment or you receive any payment or proceeds of the
Collateral for our benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
debtor in possession, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by you.
(H) We shall reimburse you for all expenses incurred or to be
incurred by you in connection with (a) the negotiation, preparation and closing
of this Agreement; (b) amendments and modifications to this Agreement; (c) the
protection, perfection or preservation of your security interest in or lien upon
the Collateral; (d) your inspection or verification of the Collateral; (e) any
court or bankruptcy proceeding relating to the Agreement or any claim or action
by any Person against you which would not have been asserted were it not for
your relationship with us hereunder or otherwise; (f) actions taken with respect
to the Collateral and your security interest or lien therein; and (g) review and
analysis regarding our compliance or failure to comply with the Obligations
and/or the enforcement of any of your rights and remedies with respect to the
Obligations or Collateral. The foregoing expenses shall include, without
limitation: (i) reasonable fees, costs and expenses of your outside and in-house
attorneys and paralegals; (ii) interest on the foregoing at the highest
applicable interest rate provided under any Rider to this Agreement, which shall
be part of the Obligations, payable on demand and secured by the Collateral. In
addition, we shall pay those fees set forth on the Rider at the times specified
therein. In recognition of your right to have all your expenses incurred or to
be incurred in connection with this Agreement and the fees due you secured by
the Collateral, you shall not be required to record any discharge of your lien
or termination of your security interest unless and until we deliver to you a
general release acceptable to you.
(I) We agree to give you written notice of any action or omission by
you or your agents in connection with this Agreement that may be actionable
against you or that may be a defense to payment of the Obligations for any
reasons. We further agree that unless such a notice specifically describing the
action or omission is given by us within thirty (30) days after we have
knowledge or with the exercise of reasonable diligence should have had knowledge
of the occurrence of said action or omission we shall not assert, and we shall
be deemed to have waived, any claim or defense arising therefrom.
(J) If you shall breach your obligation under this Agreement to make
an advance under the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding our conformance
with the provisions thereof, we
20
agree that our sole remedy on account thereof shall be to recover liquidated
damages on account of such breach, computed as hereinafter provided, in
recognition of the fact that the damages which we might incur are uncertain and
speculative. Liquidated damages to which we shall be entitled shall be equal to
sixty (60) times the interest payable for one day on the loans outstanding as of
the day that you are deemed to have failed to fund. In any event, you shall
never be liable to us for special, indirect and consequential damages, whatever
the nature of your breach hereunder.
(K) We authorize and direct you to disburse, for our account, the
proceeds of loans made by you to us to such Person as any of our officers or
directors shall direct, whether in writing or orally.
(L) Any notice required hereunder shall be in writing, and addressed
to the party to be notified as follows:
If to you: Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, Xx., President
Greenfield Commercial Credit, L.L.C.
0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000
Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000
If to us: The Borrower's Address set forth
on the Term Sheet.
or to such other address as each party may designate for itself by like notice.
(M) We represent and warrant to you that, with respect to the
financing transaction herein contemplated, no Person is entitled to any
brokerage fee or other commission and we agree to indemnify and hold you
harmless against any and all such claims.
(N) The paragraph titles contained in this Agreement are without
substantive meaning and are not part of the Agreement.
18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Our legal counsel has advised us that (i) there
may be a constitutional right to a jury trial in connection with any claim,
dispute or lawsuit arising out of this Agreement or any Rider and (ii) such
constitutional right may be waived. After consultation with our counsel (which
has included our counsel's review of this Agreement), we believe that it is in
our best interest in this commercial transaction to waive such right.
Accordingly, we hereby waive our right to a jury trial, and further agree that
the best forum for hearing any claim, dispute or lawsuit, if any, arising in
connection with this Agreement or any Rider or our relationship with you, shall
be a court of competent jurisdiction sitting without a jury.
19. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. We acknowledge that this Agreement and each Rider
represents the final agreement between you and us and the terms of such
documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or
subsequent oral agreements that may have or will be exchanged between you
(including your officers, employees and agents) and us.

LITIGATION
A. Ditto Litigation.
1. Ditto Properties Company vs. U.S.F.G. L.P. No., Inc., a/k/a DCRI L.P.
No. 2, Inc., J. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, USFG, Inc. and U.S.F.G./DHRG L.P.
No.1(herein referred to as the "Initial Action"")
2. Diversified Corporate Resources, Inc. f/k/a Diversified Human Resources
Group, inc. and U.S.F.G./DHRG L.P. No. 2, Inc. (the "DCRI Action")
3. Dallas County, Texas
4. 000/xx/ Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx
5. Case No. 96-10710
6. In 1996, Ditto Properties Company ("DPC") filed the Initial Action; Xx.
Xxxxx and the Company were also initially named as garnishees in the
lawsuit with respect to 899,200 shares (the " LP Shares") of common
stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company which were the subject matter
of a series of transactions in 1993 (collectively referred to herein as
the "1993 Transactions") which ultimately resulted in the LP Shares
being conveyed by DPC to DCRI L.P. No. 2, Inc. ("L.P. No. 2").
Subsequent to the initial filing of the litigation by DPC, Xx. Xxxxx and
the Company were added as defendants in such proceedings, and F. Xxxxx
Xxxx ("Xxxx") and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx ("Xxxxxxx") intervened as parties to
the Ditto Litigation. Due to recently granted motions for summary
judgment in favor of L.P. No. 2, Xx. Xxxxx and the Company, neither Xxxx
nor Xxxxxxx remain as parties to the Ditto litigation.
The DCRI Action and the DCRI Action were ultimately consolidated into
one case. The date pending for the trial is February 3, 2003.
Schedule 8(F)-1
DPC and Xxxxxx Xxxxx ("Ditto") allege, among other things, that the
Defendants fraudulently induced DPC to sell 899.200 shares (the "Shares")
of Common Stock to L.P. No. 2 and failed to perform under the related
Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 26,1993 (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"). The claim of DPC and Xxxxxx Xxxxx is that they are entitled
to recover from the Company, Xx. Xxxxx, DCRI L.P. No. 2, Inc. and others,
jointly and severally, compensatory damages in the amount of at least
$6.5 million punitive and exemplary damages totaling at least $26.1
million interest on the amount of damages incurred, legal fees and
attorney fees.
In the DCRI Action, the Company claims that DPC and Ditto filed the
Initial Action for the purpose of disrupting the Company's plans in 1996
to effectuate a public offering of the Company's stock. In 1997, the
Company sold some 500,000 shares of its common stock at $10 per share,
instead of the price of some $25 per share as contemplated in 1996.
X. Xxxxxxx litigation.
1. Xxx Xxxxxxx vs. Diversified Corporate Resources, Inc., J. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx,
and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx.
2. Dallas County, Texas
3. District Court No. H-160th
4. Case No. 02-10197
5. Amount of Claim -
6. Date Filed - October 29, 2002
7. The primary claim is that Xx. Xxxxxxx was fraudulently induced to enter
into a severance agreement with the Company in 2001.
8. In essence, Xx. Xxxxxxx seeks, among other things, that the Company
acquire the 141,000 shares of the Company's common stock owned by Xx.
Xxxxxxx, and that the Company cancel his promissory notes payable to the
Company in the amount of some $214,000.00.

1. An acknowledgment by Debtor that the Obligations constitute the valid
and binding obligation of Debtor and are secured by liens and security interests
granted by Debtor to you in Debtor's tangible and intangible personal property
as described in the Loan Documents; and your security interests and liens in the
Collateral are valid, properly perfected and recorded and are unavoidable and
indefeasible in the pending bankruptcy proceeding; nor are they subject to
avoidance, defeasance, offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind.

expenses may be paid with your written consent.
3. All principal, interest, costs and expenses, including reasonable

the Obligations or in the administration of the bankruptcy proceeding, and all

course of its business, including the dispositions of any assets, engaging in
any new or different business activities, increase its investment in fixed or
