                  which any private sale or other disposition thereof is to be
                  made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if
                  such notice is given to Debtor at least ten (10) days

                                        4

<PAGE>

                  before the time of any such sale or disposition. Secured Party
                  shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any
                  such notice. Secured Party may, without notice or publication,
                  adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
                  adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
                  place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any
                  time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. Debtor
                  acknowledges that the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
                  certain other federal and state laws or regulations may
                  constitute legal restrictions or limitations upon Secured
                  Party in any attempts to dispose of any portion of the
                  Collateral which constitutes securities and the enforcement by
                  Secured Party of its rights and remedies with respect thereto.
                  Secured Party is authorized, but shall in no event be
                  obligated, to sell or dispose of any portion of the Collateral
                  which constitutes securities at a private sale subject to
                  investment letter or in any other manner which would not
                  require the Collateral or any portion thereof to be registered
                  in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, the rules and
                  regulations promulgated thereunder, or under any other
                  securities laws or regulations, and Secured Party is
                  authorized to take such action, give such notice, obtain such
                  consents and do such things as it may deem necessary and
                  appropriate in connection with any such private sale or
                  disposition. Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, may
                  sell any portion of the Collateral which constitutes a
                  security at its book value to a restricted number of potential
                  purchasers, notwithstanding that a sale under any such
                  circumstances may yield a lower price for such Collateral than
                  might otherwise be available if such Collateral were
                  registered under the applicable securities laws and sold on
                  the open market. Debtor stipulates and agrees that the sale
                  for book value is conclusive evidence that such private sale
                  or sales were conducted in a commercially reasonable manner
                  pursuant to the requirements of applicable law.

                           5.3 COSTS AND EXPENSES. Recover from Debtor an amount
                  equal to all costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred by
                  Secured Party in connection with the exercise of the rights
                  contained or referred to herein, together with interest on
                  such sums at the rate applicable to the Note from time to
                  time.

                           5.4 WAIVER OF DEFAULT. Secured Party may, by an
                  instrument in writing signed by Secured Party, waive any event
                  of default which shall have occurred and any of the
                  consequences thereof and, in such event, Secured Party and
                  Debtor shall be restored to their respective former positions,
                  rights and obligations. Any event of default so waived shall,
                  for all purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to have been
                  cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver shall
                  extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
                  consequence thereof.

                           5.5 REGISTRATION. Any or all shares of stock
                  constituting a part of the Collateral held by Secured Party
                  hereunder may, if an event of default has occurred and is
                  continuing, be registered in the name of Secured Party or its
                  nominee, and

                  Secured Party or its nominee may thereafter exercise all
                  voting and corporate rights at any meeting of any corporation
                  issuing any of the shares included in the Collateral and
                  exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange,

                  such shares of stock with any committee, depositary, transfer
                  agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms
                  and conditions as it may determine, all without liability
                  except to account for property actually received by it, but
                  Secured Party shall have no duty to exercise any of the
                  aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be
                  responsible for any failure to do so or for any delay in so
                  doing. This Agreement constitutes Debtor's proxy to Secured
                  Party or its nominee to vote all shares of stock constituting
                  a part of the Collateral or other securities with voting
                  rights then registered in Debtor's name.

                           5.6 NO DUTY. The powers conferred on Secured Party
                  hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the
                  Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
                  any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for
                  amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise
                  of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers,
                  directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any
                  act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence of
                  willful misconduct.

                  6. MISCELLANEOUS. The provisions of this Agreement are
severable, and the invalidity of any part or application hereof will not
affect any other provision or application hereof. No indulgence or waiver
hereunder by the Secured Party will be construed to affect any other default
hereunder, or preclude the Secured Party from asserting any right or remedy
with respect to a later default. The Secured Party's remedies hereunder are
cumulative and not alternative, the exercise of one remedy will not preclude
the Secured Party from exercising another for the same default. The terms of
this Agreement will be binding on the successors and permitted assigns of the
parties hereto. The laws of the State of Oklahoma will govern the
construction and validity of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereunder.
