The Borrower will, through its Board of Directors, make an Assessment
Determination at that point in time when the aggregate of the accrued but unpaid
interest and the unpaid principal balance of the Loan first equals Twelve
Million and No/100 Dollars ($12,000,000) or would exceed such amount if a
requested Advance were made. In such event, the Borrower's Board of Directors
shall make written demand upon each Subscriber to contribute to the Borrower
cash in an amount equal to the product realized by multiplying (i) One Million
and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of shares of the Borrower's common stock that Subscriber owns as of
the date of the Assessment Determination and the denominator of which is the
number of outstanding shares of the Borrower's common stock as of the date of
the Assessment Determination ("Initial Equity Shortfall Share"). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no additional Advance will
be made to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement that would increase the
aggregate unpaid principal and interest on the Loan above Twelve Million and
No/100 Dollars ($12,000,000) unless and until

14
each Subscriber has contributed cash to the Borrower in an amount equal to such
Subscriber's Initial Equity Shortfall Share.
The Borrower will, through its Board of Directors, make an Assessment
Determination at that point in time when the aggregate of the accrued but unpaid
interest and the unpaid principal balance of the Loan first equals Sixteen
Million and No/100 Dollars ($16,000,000) or would exceed such amount if a
requested Advance were made. In such event, the Borrower's Board of Directors
shall make written demand upon each Subscriber to contribute to the Borrower
cash in an amount equal to the product realized by multiplying (i) One Million
and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of shares of the Borrower's common stock that Subscriber owns as of
the date of the Assessment Determination and the denominator of which is the
number of outstanding shares of the Borrower's common stock as of the date of
the Assessment Determination ("Secondary Equity Shortfall Share").
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no
additional Advance will be made to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement that
would increase the aggregate unpaid principal and interest on the Loan above
Sixteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($16,000,000) unless and until each
Subscriber has contributed cash to the Borrower in an amount equal to such
Subscriber's Secondary Equity Shortfall Share.
The Borrower will, through its Board of Directors, make an Assessment
Determination at that point in time when the aggregate of the accrued but unpaid

principal balance from time to time remaining unpaid at the rates hereinafter
provided.
Interest on the principal balance hereof from time to time remaining
unpaid prior to an Event of Default shall be payable at the Interest Rate
prescribed in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), provided that the
interest payable shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law
(the "Maximum Rate"). Interest on the principal hereof from time to time
remaining unpaid and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest on the
unpaid interest, shall bear interest from and after an Event of Default at the
Default Rate provided that in no event shall the Default Rate be more than the
Maximum Rate.
This Note renews, modifies, replaces and is given in substitution for
that certain Note dated May 8, 1998, in the principal amount of $40,166,666.00
made by Borrower and payable to Lender and is the "Note" referred to in the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated January 1, 1999, executed by Lender
and Borrower (the "Credit Agreement"). Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
amounts under this Note as permitted by the Credit Agreement. Terms defined in

meanings given those terms in the Credit Agreement.
Borrower may request and receive Advances hereunder only in accordance

payable as provided in Article III of the Credit Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (after the giving of any
notice required in the Credit Agreement and the expiration of any applicable
grace periods provided for in the Credit Agreement), all amounts then remaining
unpaid on this Note shall become or may be declared to be immediately due and
payable and the holder hereof shall have all rights and remedies of Lender under
the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents. The failure to exercise the
option to accelerate the maturity of this Note upon the happening of any one or
more of the Events of Default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of the
right of the holder of this Note to exercise the same or any other option at
that time or at any subsequent time with respect to such uncured default or any
other event of uncured default hereunder or under any other of the Loan
Documents. The remedies of the holder hereof, as provided in this Note and in
any other of the Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be
pursued separately, successively or together, as often as occasion therefor
shall arise, at the sole discretion of the holder hereof. The acceptance by the
holder hereof of any payment under this Note which is less than payment in full
of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute
a waiver of or impair, reduce, release or extinguish any of the rights or
remedies of the holder hereof to exercise the foregoing option or any other
option granted to the holder in this Note or in any other of the Loan Documents,
at that time or at any subsequent time, or nullify any prior exercise of any
such option.
The undersigned and all other parties now or hereafter liable for the
payment hereof, whether as endorser, surety or otherwise, except as provided in
the Credit Agreement, severally waive demand, presentment, notice of dishonor,
notice of intention to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, notice of
the acceleration of the maturity hereof, diligence in collecting, grace, notice
and protest, and consent to all extensions which from time to time may be
granted by the holder hereof and to all partial payments hereon, whether before
or after maturity.
If this Note is not paid when due, whether at maturity or by
acceleration, or if it is collected through a bankruptcy, probate or other
court, whether before or after maturity, the undersigned agrees to pay all costs
of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by the holder hereof.
All agreements between the undersigned and the holder hereof, whether
now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby
limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the
maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged,
received, paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof exceed the maximum
amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance the holder
hereof shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in
excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest
shall be applied to the reduction of the principal hereof and not to the payment
of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of
principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned. All interest
paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized,
35
prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until payment in full
of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not
exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall
control all agreements between the undersigned and the holder hereof.
This Note may be prepaid only in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement.
The loan transaction evidenced hereby shall not be governed by, or be
subject to, Chapter 15 or Chapter 346 of the Texas Credit Code or Chapter 303 of
the Texas Finance Code.
EXCEPT WHERE FEDERAL LAW IS APPLICABLE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
ANY FEDERAL USURY CEILING OR OTHER FEDERAL LAW WHICH, FROM TIME TO TIME, IS
APPLICABLE TO THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED HEREIN AND WHICH PREEMPTS STATE USURY
LAWS), THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS IN SUCH
STATE.
THIS NOTE, TOGETHER WITH THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT REFERENCED HEREIN OR THEREIN, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY

Event of Default, Debtor shall file or cause to be filed such applications and
take such other actions as Secured Party may request to obtain the consent or
approval of any governmental authority to Secured Party's rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the right to sell all of the Collateral upon an
Event of Default without additional consent or approval from such governmental
authority (and, because Debtor agrees that Secured Party's remedies at law for
failure of Debtor to comply with this provision would be inadequate and that
such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, Debtor agrees that
its covenants in this provision may be specifically enforced).
11. Upon demand by Secured Party, Debtor will deposit upon receipt all
checks, drafts, cash or other remittances on account or accounts or contracts or
received as proceeds of any other Collateral in a special bank account in a bank
of Secured Party's choice over which Secured Party alone shall have power of
withdrawal. The funds in said account shall be held by Secured Party as security
for the Obligation. Said proceeds shall be deposited in the form received,
except for the endorsement of Debtor where necessary to permit collection of
items, which endorsements Debtor agrees to make, but which Secured Party is
authorized to make on Debtor's behalf. Secured Party may from time to time apply
the whole or any part of the funds in such special account against the
Obligations. Any portion of said funds on deposit which Secured Party elects not
to apply to the Obligations may be paid by Secured Party to Debtor.
12. Debtor shall give Secured Party written notice of each office of
Debtor in which records of Debtor pertaining to accounts in the Collateral are
kept, and of any change of any office or location. Except as such notice is
given, all records of Debtor pertaining to the Collateral and to accounts are
and shall be kept in the location shown at the beginning hereof.
G. RIGHTS AND POWERS OF SECURED PARTY
1. Secured Party may in its discretion after an Event of Default but
only after prior written notice to Debtor, without liability to Debtor, obtain
from any person information regarding Debtor or Debtor's business, which
information any such person also may furnish without liability to Debtor;
endorse as Debtor's agent any instruments, documents or chattel paper in the
Collateral or representing proceeds of the Collateral; contact any account
debtors directly to verify information furnished by Debtor; take control of
proceeds; release the Collateral in its possession to any Debtor, temporarily or
otherwise; after default, take control of funds generated by the Collateral,
such as cash dividends, interest and proceeds or refunds from insurance, and use
same to reduce any part of the Obligations and exercise all other rights which
an owner of such collateral may exercise; after default, at any time transfer
any of the Collateral or evidence thereof into its own name or that of its
nominee; demand, collect, convert, redeem, receipt for, settle, compromise,
adjust, ▇▇▇ for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral, in its own name or in
the name of Debtor, as Secured Party may determine. The foregoing rights and
powers of Secured Party will be in addition to, and not a limitation upon, any
rights and powers of Secured Party given by law, elsewhere in this agreement, or
otherwise.
2. Secured Party may while any Event of Default continues hereunder
present for conversion any instrument (including any investment security) in the
Collateral which is convertible into any other instrument or investment security
or a combination thereof with cash. But Secured Party shall not have any duty to
present for conversion any instrument in the Collateral unless it shall have
received from Debtor written instructions to that effect at a time reasonably
far in advance of the final conversion date to make such conversion possible.
H. DEFAULT
1. Events of Default. The occurrence of a default under the Note, the
Restated Credit Agreement or any document evidencing, governing, securing,
guaranteeing, indemnifying or otherwise pertaining to the Loan shall constitute
an event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder.
2. Remedies of Secured Party Upon Default. Should an Event of Default
occur and be continuing, Secured Party may, at its election, exercise any and
all rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, in addition
to any and all other rights and remedies afforded by the Loan Documents, at law,
in equity, or otherwise, including, without limitation, such rights and remedies
as (a) Party, (b) applying by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment
of a receiver for all or part of the Collateral (and Debtor hereby consents to
any such appointment), and (c) applying to the Obligation any cash held by
Secured Party under this Security Agreement. The exercise of one or more rights
or remedies by Secured Party hereunder shall not prejudice or impair the
concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other rights or remedies
4
40
by Secured Party. If, in the opinion of Secured Party, there is any question
that a public or semipublic sale or distribution of any Collateral will violate
any state or federal securities law, Secured Party in its discretion (a) may
offer and sell securities privately to purchasers who will agree to take them
for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution and who will agree
to imposition of restrictive legends on the certificates representing the
security, or (b) may sell such securities in an intrastate offering under
Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, and no sale so made in good
faith by Secured Party shall be deemed to be not "commercially reasonable"
because so made.
a. Notice. Reasonable notification of the time and place of
any public sale of the Collateral, or reasonable notification of the
time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the
Collateral is to be made, shall be sent to Debtor and to any other
Person entitled to notice under the UCC. It is agreed that notice sent
or given not less than twenty (20) business days prior to the taking of
the action to which the notice relates is reasonable notification and
notice for the purposes of this subparagraph.
b. Application of Proceeds. Secured Party shall apply the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral under this
paragraph in the following order: first, to the payment of all its
expenses incurred in retaking, holding, and preparing any of the
Collateral for sale(s) or other disposition, in arranging for such
sale(s) or other disposition, and in actually selling or disposing of
the same (all of which are part of the Obligation); second, toward
repayment of amounts expended by Secured Party under Paragraph I.3; and
third, toward payment of the balance of the Obligation in accordance
with the Credit Agreement. If the proceeds are insufficient to pay the
Obligation in full, Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency to
the extent provided in the Credit Agreement.
3. Other Rights of Secured Party.
a. Performance. In the event Debtor shall fail to pay when due
all taxes, subject to contest rights permitted by the Credit Agreement,
on any of the Collateral, or to preserve the priority of the Security
Interest in any of the Collateral, or otherwise fail to perform any of
its obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the
Collateral, then Secured Party may, at its option, but without being
required to do so, pay such taxes, prosecute or defend any suits in
relation to the Collateral, or insure and keep insured the Collateral
in any amount deemed appropriate by Secured Party, or take all other
action which Debtor is required, but has failed or refused, to take
under the Loan Documents. Any sum which may be expended or paid by
Secured Party under this subparagraph (including, without limitation,
court costs and attorneys' fees) shall bear interest from the dates of
expenditure or payment at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note)
until paid and, together with such interest, shall be payable by Debtor
to Secured Party upon demand and shall be part of the Obligation.
b. Collection. After the occurrence of an Event of Default and
during the continuation thereof, upon notice from Secured Party, each
obligor with respect to any payments on any of the Collateral
(including without limitation condemnation proceeds, dividends and
other distributions with respect to securities, and insurance proceeds
payable by reason of loss or damage to any of the Collateral Property)
is hereby authorized and directed by Debtor to make payment directly to
Secured Party, regardless of whether Debtor was previously making
collections thereon. Subject to Subparagraph I.3(d) hereof, until such
notice is given, Debtor is authorized to retain and expend all payments
made on the Collateral. After the occurrence of an Event of Default and
during the continuation thereof, Secured Party shall have the right in
its own name or in the name of Debtor to compromise or extend the time
of payment with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral for
such amounts and upon such terms as Secured Party may determine; to
demand, collect, receive, receipt for, ▇▇▇ for, compound, settle,
compromise, adjust, realize upon and give acquittances for any and all
amounts due or to become due with respect to Collateral; to file any
claims or take any action or initiate any proceedings which Secured
Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or to otherwise enforce the rights or remedies of Debtor
with respect to any Collateral; to take control of cash and other
Proceeds of any Collateral; to endorse the name of Debtor on any notes,
acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders, or other evidences of
payment on Collateral that may come into the possession of Secured
Party; to sign the name of Debtor on any drafts against obligors or
other Persons making payment with respect to Collateral, on assignments
and verifications of accounts or other Collateral and on notices to
obligors making payment with respect to Collateral; to send requests
for verification of obligations to any such obligor; to take any action
Debtor is required to take or any other necessary action to obtain,
preserve, and enforce this Security Agreement, and maintain, preserve
and collect the Collateral, without notice to Debtor, and add the costs
of same to the Obligation; to release Collateral in Secured Party's
possession to any Person, temporarily or otherwise; to set standards
from time to time to govern what may be deemed after-acquired
Collateral; to transfer any of the Collateral, or evidence thereof,
into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the Proceeds
therefrom and hold the same as security for the Obligation, or apply
the same thereon; to exercise as to the Collateral all the rights of
the owner thereof; and to do all other acts and things necessary to
carry out the intent of this Security Agreement. If any obligor fails
or refuses to make payment on any Collateral when due, Secured Party is
authorized, in its sole discretion, either in its own name or in the
name of Debtor, to take such action as Secured Party shall deem
appropriate for the collection of any amounts owed with respect to the
Collateral or upon which a delinquency exists. Regardless of any other
provision hereof, however, Secured Party shall never be liable for its
failure to collect, or for its failure to exercise diligence in the
collection of, any amounts owed with respect to Collateral, nor shall
it be under any duty whatever to anyone except Debtor to account for
funds that it shall actually receive hereunder. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Secured Party shall have no responsibility
for ascertaining any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, offers,
tenders, or similar matters relating to any Collateral, or for
informing Debtor with respect to any of such matters (irrespective of
whether Secured Party actually has, or may be deemed to have, knowledge
thereof). The receipt of Secured Party to any obligor shall be a full
and complete release, discharge, and acquittance to such obligor, to
the extent of any amount so paid to Secured Party.
c. Certain Proceeds. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, any cash Proceeds of Collateral
which come into the possession of Secured Party (including, without
limitation, insurance and condemnation proceeds) may, at Secured
Party's option, be applied in whole or in part
5
41
to the Obligation, be released in whole or in part to or on the
written instructions of Debtor for any general or specific purpose, or
be retained in whole or in part by Secured Party as additional
Collateral. Any cash Collateral in the possession of Secured Party may
be invested by Secured Party but Secured Party shall never be
obligated to make any such investment and shall never have any
liability to Debtor for any loss which may result therefrom. All
interest and other amounts earned from any investment of Collateral
may be dealt with by Secured Party in the same manner as other cash
Collateral.
d. Use and Operation of Collateral. Should any Collateral come
into the possession of Secured Party, Secured Party may use or operate
such Collateral for the purpose of preserving it or its value pursuant
to the order of a court of appropriate jurisdiction or in accordance
with any other rights held by Secured Party with respect to such
Collateral. Debtor covenants promptly to reimburse and pay to Secured
Party, at Secured Party's request, the amount of all reasonable
expenses (including, without limitation, the cost of any insurance and
payment of taxes or other charges) incurred by Secured Party in
connection with its custody and preservation of Collateral, and all
such expenses, costs, taxes, and other charges shall bear interest at
the Maximum Rate (as defined in the Note) until repaid and, together
with such interest, shall be payable by Debtor to Secured Party upon
demand and shall become part of the Obligation. However, the risk of
accidental loss or damage to, or diminution in value of, Collateral is
on Debtor, and Secured Party shall have no liability whatever for
failure to obtain or maintain insurance, nor to determine whether any
insurance ever in force is adequate as to amount or as to the risks
insured. With respect to Collateral that is in the possession of
Secured Party, Secured Party shall have no duty to fix or preserve
rights against prior parties to such Collateral and shall never be
liable for any failure to use diligence to collect any amount payable
in respect of such Collateral, but shall be liable only to account to
Debtor for what it may actually collect or receive thereon. The
provisions of this subparagraph shall be applicable whether or not an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
e. Diminution in Value of Collateral. Secured Party shall have
no liability or responsibility whatsoever for any diminution in or loss
of value of any Collateral.
I. MULTIPLE COUNTERPARTS
This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be deemed but one and the
same instrument.
J. GENERAL
1. Waiver. No delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any
power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver by Secured Party
of any right hereunder or of any default by Debtor shall be binding upon Secured
Party unless in writing, and no failure by Secured Party to exercise any power
or right hereunder or waiver of any default by Debtor shall operate as a waiver
of any other or further exercise of such right or power or of any further
default.
2. Parties Bound. The rights of Secured Party hereunder shall inure to
the benefit of its successors and assigns. The terms of this Security Agreement
shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties. All
representations, warranties and agreements of Debtor are joint and several if
Debtor is more than one and shall bind Debtor's personal representatives, heirs,
successors and assigns.
3. Definitions. Unless the context indicates otherwise, definitions in
the UCC apply to words and phrases in this Security Agreement; if UCC
definitions conflict, Chapter 9 definitions apply.
4. Notice. Notice shall be deemed reasonable if mailed postage prepaid
at least ten (10) days before the related action (or if the UCC elsewhere
specifies a longer period, such longer period) to Debtor's address given above.
5. Expenses. Debtor agrees to reimburse Secured Party's out-of-pocket
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in negotiating,
administering or enforcing any part of the Obligations, and in preparation,
execution, delivery and recording of any documents in connection with any part
of the Obligations, when not contrary to law.
6. Limitation on Interest. All agreements between Debtor and Secured
Party, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral,
are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of
demand or acceleration of the indebtedness secured hereby or otherwise, shall
the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to
Secured Party exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If,
from any circumstance whatsoever interest would otherwise be payable to the
holder hereof in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to
Secured Party shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable
law; and if from any such circumstance Secured Party shall ever receive anything
of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful
amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal amount owing on the indebtedness secured hereby and
not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds such
unpaid balance of the principal, such excess shall be refunded to the
undersigned. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Secured Party on the
indebtedness secured hereby shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such
indebtedness (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) until
payment in full so that the interest on account of such
6
42
indebtedness shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control all agreements between
Debtor and Secured Party.
7. Modifications. No provision hereof shall be modified or limited
except by a written agreement expressly referring hereto and to the provision so
modified or limited and signed by the Debtor and Secured Party, nor by course of
conduct, usage of trade, or by the law merchant.
8. Severability. The unenforceability of any provision of this Security
Agreement shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other
provision.
9. Gender and Number. Where appropriate, the use of one gender shall be
construed to include the others or any of them; and the singular number shall be
construed to include the plural, and vice versa.
10. Applicable Law and Venue. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE
CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
11. Financing Statement. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction
of this Security Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral
shall be sufficient as a financing statement.
