ARTICLE VI

REMEDIES

Section 6.1 The Administrative Agent may, at any time following and during the
continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, transfer the Collateral to the
Secured Parties or their nominees, receive income, including money, thereon and
hold the income as Collateral or apply the income to satisfy any Secured
Obligations, and the manner of said application shall be in the sole discretion
of the Secured Parties. At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties or the Secured Parties may at any time demand, sue for, collect
or make any compromise or settlement with reference to the Collateral as the
Secured Parties, in their reasonable discretion, choose. The Secured Parties may
delay exercising or may omit to exercise any right or remedy under this
Agreement without waiving that or any other past, present or future right or
remedy.

Section 6.2 In protecting, exercising, or assuring its interests, rights, and
remedies under this Agreement, at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties or the Secured Parties may execute, sign, and endorse negotiable
and other instruments for the payment of any form of Collateral or proceeds on
behalf of and in the name of the Pledgor.

Section 6.3 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time

remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code of
Texas; and (b) in addition to the rights and remedies referred to in clause

any part of the Collateral at any exchange, broker’s board or at Secured
Parties’ office or elsewhere, or at public or private sale without
advertisement, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, upon such terms as
the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable, and the Secured
Parties may bid and become purchaser at any public sale or at any broker’s
board, in accordance with applicable securities laws. To the extent required by
law, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to the Pledgor fifteen (15) days prior to the date of public sale of the
Collateral or prior to the date after which private sale of the Collateral will
be made, by mailing by certified mail such notice to the Pledgor at the address
designated herein, which notice shall constitute reasonable notification.

Section 6.4 All rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Secured
Parties expressed herein are in addition to all other rights and remedies
possessed by the Secured Parties in the Contribution Agreement and in any other
agreement or instrument relating to the Secured Obligations.

ARTICLE VII

PRIVATE SALES

If the Secured Parties shall determine to exercise their rights to sell all or
part of the Collateral pursuant to Article VI hereof, the Pledgor recognizes
that the Secured Parties may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of
the Pledged Units by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, as now or hereafter in effect (the “Securities Act”),
or in applicable securities or blue sky laws of any state or other jurisdiction,
as now or hereafter in effect, but may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree,
among other things, to acquire such Pledged Units for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. If at the
time of any sale of the Pledged Units or any part thereof, the same shall not,
for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered (if required) under the
Securities Act (or other applicable securities law), the Secured Parties in
their sole and absolute discretion are authorized to sell such Pledged Units or
such part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as
the Secured Parties or their counsel may deem necessary or advisable in order
that such sale may legally be effected without registration. The Pledgor agrees
that private sales so made may be at prices and other terms less favorable to
the seller than if such Pledged Units were sold at public sale, and that the
Secured Parties have no obligation to delay the sale of any such Pledged Units
for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer of the Collateral to
register such Pledged Units for public sale under such applicable securities
laws. The Pledgor agrees that any private sales made under the foregoing
circumstances shall be deemed to have been in a commercially reasonable manner.

ARTICLE VIII

POWER OF ATTORNEY

The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent to be the Pledgor’s
attorney-in-fact, effective upon and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the
name of the Pledgor, Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time in
Administrative Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any
instrument which Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purpose of this Agreement, including without limitation:

(a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of
any of the Collateral;

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents
and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above; and

(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any
of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Secured Parties with
respect to any of the Collateral.

ARTICLE IX

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE

All rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, all obligations
of the Pledgor hereunder and the security interest hereunder, shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be absolute and unconditional, irrespective
of any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations.

Collateral or the proceeds thereof as shall not have been sold or otherwise
applied pursuant to the terms hereof.
