      notations on such Grantor's books of account to disclose the Agent's
      Liens; and (v) taking such other steps as are deemed necessary or
      desirable by the Agent to maintain and protect the Agent's Liens. Each
      Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic, or other
      reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient
      as a financing statement.

            (b)   Unless the Agent shall otherwise consent in writing (which
      consent may be revoked in the Agent's discretion), each Grantor shall
      deliver to the Agent all Collateral consisting of negotiable Documents,
      certificated securities (accompanied by stock powers executed in blank),
      Chattel Paper, and Instruments promptly after such Grantor receives the
      same.

            (c)   Upon the Agent's request and otherwise in accordance with the
      terms of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall obtain waivers of Liens
      from landlords and mortgagees, and each Grantor shall in all instances
      obtain a signed acknowledgment of the Agent's from any representative,
      agent, warehouseman, consignee, or bailee having possession of any
      Collateral that such representative, agent, warehouseman, consignee, or
      bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent.

            (d)   Upon the Agent's request and otherwise in accordance with the
      terms of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall obtain an authenticated
      control agreement from each issuer of uncertificated securities and from
      each securities intermediary or commodities intermediary issuing or
      holding any financial assets or commodities to or for such Grantor.

            (e)   If any Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of

      Agent's request enter into a tri-party agreement with the Agent and the
      issuer and/or confirmation bank with respect to all Letter-of-Credit
      Rights thereunder assigning such Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Agent and
      directing all payments thereunder to the Payment Account, all in form and
      substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

            (f)   In accordance with the UCC (or other applicable Requirements

SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 6
<PAGE>
      grant the Agent control of all of such Grantor's (i) Deposit Accounts,
      (ii) electronic Chattel Paper, and (iii) all "transferable records" (as
      defined in the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act).

            (g)   Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any
      time and from time to time to file in any filing office any financing
      statements and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral (A) as
      "all assets" or "all personal property" of such Grantor, or words of
      similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in
      the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, or (B) as
      being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (ii) contain
      any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the
      sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or
      amendment, including (A) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type
      of organization, any organization identification number issued to such
      Grantor, and any employer or taxpayer identification number issued to such
      Grantor, and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture
      filing or indicating any Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber
      to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which such
      Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to furnish any such information to
      the Agent promptly upon request. Each Grantor also ratifies its
      authorization for the Agent to file any like financing statements or
      amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

            (h)   Schedule 2.3(h) is a complete list of the commercial tort
      claims owned by each Grantor. Each Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent
      of any commercial tort claim acquired by such Grantor, and unless
      otherwise consented by the Agent, any such Grantor acquiring a commercial
      tort claim shall enter into documentation satisfactory to the Agent to (i)
      amend Schedule 2.3(h) to include such commercial tort claim, and (ii)
      grant to the Agent a first priority perfected Lien in such commercial tort
      claim.

            (i)   From time to time, each Grantor shall, upon the Agent's
      request, execute and deliver confirmatory written instruments pledging to
      the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, the Collateral,
      but any Grantor's failure to do so shall not affect or limit any security
      interest or any other rights of the Agent or any Lender in and to the
      Collateral with respect to such Grantor. So long as the Credit Agreement
      is in effect and until all Secured Obligations have been fully satisfied,
      the Agent's Liens shall continue in full force and effect in all
      Collateral (whether or not deemed eligible for the purpose of calculating
      the Availability or as the basis for any advance, loan, extension of
      credit, or other financial accommodation).

            (j)   Not less frequently than once during each calendar year, each
      Grantor shall, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent, provide to the
      Agent a certificate of the applicable Governmental Authority evidencing
      such Grantor's good standing in its jurisdiction of incorporation or
      organization.

            (k)   Except as provided in Section 7.9 of the Credit Agreement, no
      Grantor shall reincorporate or reorganize itself under the laws of any
      jurisdiction or change its type of entity as identified on Schedule 6.3 of
      the Credit Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent.

      any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect
      to any financing statement filed by the Agent or any Lender in connection
      with this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written
      consent of the Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior

such Grantor's books and records, each location and address where any of such
Grantor's Collateral is held, and the address of all other locations, if any,
where such Grantor maintains a place of business, and (b) Schedule 2.4 correctly
identifies any of such facilities and locations that are not owned by such
Grantor and sets forth the names of the owners and lessors or sublessors of such
facilities and locations. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not (x)
maintain any Collateral at any location other than those locations listed for
such Grantor on Schedule 2.4, (y) otherwise change or add to any of the
locations listed for such Grantor on Schedule 2.4, or (z) change the location of
its chief executive office from the location identified on Schedule 2.4, unless,
in any such case described in clauses (x), (y), or (z) preceding, such Grantor
gives the Agent at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof and
executes and authorizes any and all financing statements and other documents
that the Agent reasonably requests in connection therewith. Without limiting the

such Grantor, provided that the Agent has received an executed landlord waiver
from the landlord of such premises to the extent required by the Credit
Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, or (C) in the
possession of a representative, agent, warehouseman, consignee, or bailee,
provided that the Agent has received an acknowledged bailee letter from the
applicable warehouseman, representative, agent, consignee, or bailee to the
extent required by the Credit Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to

identification number of the Grantor, the organizational identification number
issued by each Grantor's jurisdiction of incorporation or organization or a

jurisdiction of incorporation or organization.

Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders and agrees that:
(a) such Grantor has rights in and the power to transfer all of the Collateral
free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except for Permitted Liens; (b) the
Agent's Liens in the Collateral will not be subject to any prior Lien except for
Permitted Liens to the extent and as permitted by the Credit Agreement; and (c)
the Grantor will use, store, and maintain the Collateral with all reasonable
care and will use such Collateral for lawful purposes only.

      Section 2.7 Appraisals. The Agent may, at the Grantors' expense, obtain an
appraisal (prepared on a basis satisfactory to the Agent and including, without
limitation, information required by Requirements of Law and by the internal
policies of the Agent) of any or all of the Collateral from a credentialed
appraiser acceptable to the Agent (a) whenever any Default or Event of Default
exists and (b) at such other times as the Agent may request, but not more
frequently than once each calendar year. Additionally, the Agent may, at the
Grantors' expense, with respect to any appraisal obtained pursuant to clause (b)
preceding, obtain one update thereto (a "desk-top appraisal") at such time as
the Agent may determine in its discretion.

      Section 2.8 Access and Examination. The Agent, accompanied by any Lender
which so elects with the consent of the Agent, may, upon prior notice to any
Grantor, at all reasonable times during regular business hours (and at any time
and without notice to any Grantor when a Default or Event of Default exists)
have access to, examine, audit, make extracts from or copies of, and inspect any
or all of each Grantor's records, files, and books of account and the
Collateral, and discuss the affairs of each Grantor with such Grantor's officers
and management and the officers and management of any other Grantor. Each
Grantor will deliver to the Agent any instrument necessary for the Agent to
obtain records from any service bureau maintaining records for such Grantor. The
Agent may, and at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, at any time when
a Default or Event of Default exists, and at such Grantor's expense, make copies
of any Grantor's books and records, or require such Grantor to deliver such
copies to the Agent. The Agent may, without expense to the Agent, use such of
the Grantors' respective personnel, supplies, and Real Estate as may be
reasonably necessary in connection with any examination or audit of the
Grantor's business under this Section or for maintaining or enforcing the
Agent's Liens. The Agent shall have the right, at any time, in the Agent's name
or in the name of a nominee of the Agent, to verify the validity, amount, or any
other matter relating to the Accounts, Inventory, or other Collateral, by mail,
telephone, or otherwise.

      the Lenders, with respect to such Grantor's Accounts, that: (i) each

      bona fide sale or lease and delivery of goods by such Grantor, or
      rendition of services by such Grantor, in the ordinary course of such
      Grantor's business; (ii) each existing Account is, and each future Account
      will be, for a liquidated amount payable by the Account Debtor thereon on
      the terms set forth in the invoice therefor or in the schedule thereof
      delivered to the Agent, without any offset, deduction, defense, or
      counterclaim except those known to such Grantor and disclosed to the Agent
      and the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement and this Agreement; (iii)
      no payment will be received with respect to any Account, and no credit,
      discount, or extension, or any agreement therefor, will be granted on any
      Account, except as reported to the Agent and the Lenders in Borrowing Base
      Certificates delivered in accordance with the Credit Agreement and this
      Agreement; (iv) each copy of an invoice delivered to the Agent by such
      Grantor will be a genuine copy of the original invoice sent to the Account
      Debtor named therein; and (v) all goods described in any invoice
      representing a sale of goods will have been delivered to the Account
      Debtor and all services of such Grantor described in each invoice will
      have been performed.


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 9

            (b)   No Grantor shall re-date any invoice or sale or make sales on
      extended dating beyond that customary in such Grantor's business or extend

      adversely affecting the collectibility of any Account or the Account
      Debtor therefor, including information regarding the Account Debtor's
      creditworthiness, such Grantor will exclude such Account from Eligible
      Accounts and, with respect to any such Account Debtor which is obligated
      on Accounts owing to any Grantor, in an aggregate amount greater than
      $500,000, promptly so advise the Agent.

            (c)   No Grantor shall accept any note or other instrument (except a
      check or other instrument for the immediate payment of money) with respect
      to any Account without the Agent's prior written consent. Any such
      instrument accepted by a Grantor with respect to any Account shall be
      considered as evidence of the Account and not payment thereof and such
      Grantor will promptly deliver such instrument to the Agent, endorsed by
      such Grantor to the Agent in a manner satisfactory in form and substance
      to the Agent. Regardless of the form of presentment, demand, or notice of
      protest with respect thereto, such Grantor shall remain liable thereon
      until such instrument is paid in full.

            (d)   Each Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly of all disputes
      and claims in excess of $350,000 with any Account Debtor, and agrees to
      settle, contest, or adjust such dispute or claim at no expense to the
      Agent or any Lender. No discount, credit, or allowance shall be granted to
      any such Account Debtor without the Agent's prior written consent, except
      for discounts, credits, and allowances made or given in the ordinary
      course of a Grantor's business when no Event of Default exists. Each
      Grantor shall send the Agent a copy of each credit memorandum in excess of
      $350,000 as soon as issued, and such Grantor shall promptly report that
      credit on Borrowing Base Certificates submitted by the Grantors. The Agent
      may at all times when an Event of Default exists, settle or adjust
      disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon
      terms which the Agent or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, shall
      consider advisable and, in all cases, the Agent will credit the Loan
      Account with the net amounts received by the Agent in payment of any
      Accounts.

            (e)   If an Account Debtor returns any Inventory to any Grantor when
      no Event of Default exists, then such Grantor shall promptly determine the
      reason for such return and shall issue a credit memorandum to the Account
      Debtor in the appropriate amount. Each Grantor shall immediately report to
      the Agent any return involving an amount in excess of $1,000,000. Each
      such report shall indicate the reasons for the returns and the locations
      and condition of the returned Inventory. In the event any Account Debtor
      returns Inventory to any Grantor when an Event of Default exists, such
      Grantor, upon the request of the Agent, shall: (i) hold the returned
      Inventory in trust for the Agent; (ii) segregate all returned Inventory
      from all of such Grantor's other property; (iii) dispose of the returned
      Inventory solely according to the Agent's written instructions; and (iv)
      not issue any credits or allowances with respect thereto without the
      Agent's prior written consent. All returned Inventory shall be subject to
      the Agent's Liens thereon. Whenever any Inventory is returned, the related
      Account shall be deemed


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 10
<PAGE>
      ineligible to the extent of the amount owing by the Account Debtor with
      respect to such returned Inventory and such returned Inventory shall not
      be Eligible Inventory.

      Section 2.10 Collection of Accounts; Payments.

            (a)   On or prior to the date hereof, the Grantors shall establish a
      lock-box service for collections of Accounts and payment intangibles at a
      Clearing Bank acceptable to the Agent and subject to a Blocked Account
      Agreement and other documentation acceptable to the Agent. The Grantors
      shall promptly and thereafter instruct all Account Debtors to make all
      payments directly to the address established for such service. If,
      notwithstanding such instructions, any Grantor receives any proceeds of
      Accounts and payment intangibles, it shall receive such payments as the
      Agent's trustee, and shall immediately deliver such payments to the Agent
      in their original form duly endorsed in blank or deposit them into a
      Payment Account, as the Agent may direct.

            (b)   All collections of each Grantor received in any lock-box or
      Payment Account or directly by any Grantor or the Agent, and all funds in
      any such Payment Account or other account to which such collections are
      deposited shall be subject to the Agent's sole control and withdrawals by
      the Grantors shall not be permitted.

            (c)   All collections of any Person other than a Grantor received in
      any lock-box or Payment Account or directly by any such Person or the
      Agent, and all funds in any such Payment Account or other account to which
      such collections are deposited shall be subject to the Agent's sole
      control and withdrawals by any Grantor shall not be permitted.

            (d)   The Agent or the Agent's designee may, at any time after a
      Default or an Event of Default has occurred, notify the Grantors' Account
      Debtors that the Grantors' Accounts and payment intangibles have been
      assigned to the Agent and of the Agent's security interest therein, and
      may collect such Accounts and payment intangibles directly and charge the
      collection costs and expenses against the proceeds received or to the Loan
      Account as a Revolving Loan. So long as an Event of Default exists, the
      Grantors, at the Agent's request, shall execute and deliver to the Agent
      such documents as the Agent shall require to grant the Agent access to any
      post office box in which collections of the Grantors' Accounts are
      received.

            (e)   All payments, including immediately available funds, received
      by the Agent at a bank designated by it, whether or not received by the
      Agent as proceeds of any Grantor's Accounts and payment intangibles or as
      proceeds of other Collateral, including, without limitation, collections
      transferred to the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10, will be the
      Agent's sole property, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and
      all such payments shall be credited to the Loan Account (conditional upon
      final collection) on the Business Day collected funds are received (if
      received prior to 2:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas time).


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 11
<PAGE>
            (f)   If sales of Inventory are made or services are rendered by any
      Grantor for cash, such Grantor shall immediately deliver, or cause to be
      delivered to the Agent or deposit into a Payment Account, the cash which
      such Grantor receives.

            (g)   In the event all of the Secured Obligations are repaid upon
      the termination of this Agreement or upon acceleration of the Secured
      Obligations, other than through the Agent's receipt of payments on account
      of the Grantors' Accounts and payment intangibles or proceeds of the other
      Collateral, such payment will be credited (conditional upon final
      collection) to the Loan Account upon the Agent's receipt of immediately
      available funds.

      Section 2.11 Inventory; Perpetual Inventory.

            (a)   Each Grantor represents and warrants and agrees that all of
      the Inventory owned by such Grantor is and will be held for sale or lease,
      or is to be furnished in connection with the rendition of services, in the
      ordinary course of such Grantor's business, and is and will be fit for
      such purposes. Each Grantor will keep its Inventory in good and marketable
      condition, except for damaged or defective goods arising in the ordinary
      course of such Grantor's business. No Grantor will, without the prior
      written consent of the Agent, acquire or accept any Inventory on
      consignment or approval. Each Grantor agrees that all Inventory produced
      by such Grantor in the U.S. will be produced in accordance with the
      Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules,
      regulations, and orders thereunder. Each Grantor will conduct a physical
      count of its Inventory at least once per Fiscal Year, and during the
      existence of an Event of Default, at such other times as the Agent
      requests. Each Grantor will maintain a perpetual inventory reporting
      system at all times. No Grantor will, without the Agent's written consent,
      sell any Inventory on a bill-and-hold, guaranteed sale, sale and return,
      sale on approval, consignment, or other repurchase or return basis.

            (b)   In connection with all Inventory financed by Letters of
      Credit, during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, each
      Grantor will, upon the Agent's request, instruct all suppliers, carriers,
      forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses, or others receiving or holding
      cash, checks, Inventory, Documents, or Instruments in which the Agent
      holds a Lien to deliver such Collateral to the Agent and/or subject to the
      Agent's order, and if any such Collateral shall come into such Grantor's
      possession, to deliver such Collateral, upon the Agent's request, to the
      Agent in its original form. Each Grantor shall also, at the Agent's
      request, during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default,
      designate the Agent as the consignee on all bills of lading and other
      negotiable and non-negotiable documents.

      Section 2.12 Equipment.

            (a)   Each Grantor represents and warrants and agrees that all of
      the Equipment owned by such Grantor is and will be used or held for use in
      such Grantor's business, and is and will be fit for such purposes. Each
      Grantor shall keep and maintain its Equipment in good operating condition
      and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and shall make all necessary
      replacements thereof.


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 12
<PAGE>
            (b)   Each Grantor shall promptly inform the Agent of any material
      additions to or deletions from its Equipment. No Grantor shall permit any
      of its Equipment to become a fixture with respect to real property or to
      become an accession with respect to other personal property with respect
      to which real or personal property the Agent does not have a first
      priority Lien subject only to Permitted Liens. No Grantor will, without
      the Agent's prior written consent, alter or remove any identifying symbol
      or number on any of such Grantor's Equipment constituting Collateral.

            (c)   Except as set forth in the Credit Agreement, no Grantor shall,
      without the Agent's prior written consent, sell, license, lease as a
      lessor, or otherwise dispose of any of such Grantor's Equipment.

      Section 2.13 [Reserved.]

      Section 2.14 Documents, Instruments, and Chattel Paper. Each Grantor
represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that (a) all Documents,
Instruments, Letter-of-Credit Rights, and Chattel Paper describing, evidencing,
or constituting Collateral, and all signatures and endorsements thereon, are and
will be complete, valid, and genuine, and (b) all goods evidenced by such
Documents, Instruments, Letter-of-Credit Rights, and Chattel Paper are and will
be owned by such Grantor, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted
Liens. If any Grantor retains possession of any Documents, Instruments, or
Chattel Paper with the Agent's consent, such Documents, Instruments, or Chattel
Paper shall be marked with the following legend: "This writing and the
obligations evidenced or served hereby are subject to the security interest of
Bank of America, National Association, as the administrative agent (the
"Agent"), for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to that certain
Security Agreement dated as of April 24, 2002 among [the Grantor] and certain of
its affiliates and the Agent.

      Section 2.15 Right to Cure. Except as specifically limited by the Credit
Agreement, the Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, at the direction of the
Majority Lenders, pay any amount or do any act required of any Grantor hereunder
or under any other Loan Document in order to preserve, protect, maintain, or
enforce the Secured Obligations or the Collateral and the Agent's Liens therein,
and which any Grantor fails to pay or do, including payment of any judgment
against any Grantor, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing
or processing charge, any landlord's, bailee's or consignee's claim, and any
other Lien upon or with respect to the Collateral. All payments that the Agent
makes under this Section 2.15 and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the
Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall
be payable by the Grantor on demand and may be charged to the Loan Account as a
Revolving Loan. Any payment made or other action taken by the Agent under this
Section 2.15 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of
Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein provided.

      Section 2.16 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent and
the Agent's designee as such Grantor's attorney, with power: (a) to endorse or
sign the Grantor's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, or
other forms of payment or security that come into the Agent's or any Lender's
possession; (b) to sign the Grantor's name on any invoice, bill of lading,
warehouse receipt, or other negotiable or non-negotiable Document constituting
Collateral, on drafts against customers, on assignments of Accounts, on notices
of


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 13
<PAGE>
assignment, financing statements and other public records and to file any such
financing statements by electronic means with or without a signature as
authorized or required by applicable law or filing procedure; (c) during the
existence of any Event of Default, to notify the post office authorities to
change the address for delivery of such Grantor's mail to an address designated
by the Agent and to receive, open, and dispose of all mail addressed to such
Grantor; (d) to send requests for verification of Accounts to customers or
Account Debtors; (e) during the existence of any Event of Default, to complete
in such Grantor's name or the Agent's name, any order, sale, or transaction,
obtain the necessary Documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds
thereof; (f) during the existence of an Event of Default, to clear Inventory
through customs in such Grantor's name, the Agent's name, or the name of the
Agent's designee, and to sign and deliver to customs officials powers of
attorney in such Grantor's name for such purpose; (g) to the extent, if any,
that such Grantor's authorization given in Section 2.3(g) is not sufficient, and
without otherwise limiting such authorization, to file such financing statements
with respect to this Agreement, with or without such Grantor's signature, or to
file a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as
the Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in such Grantor's name such
financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which
may require such Grantor's signature; and (h) to do all things necessary to
carry out the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Agreement. Each Grantor
ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney. Neither any Lender, the Agent,
nor any of their respective attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions
or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law except for their willful
misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the
Credit Agreement has been terminated and the Secured Obligations have been fully
and irrevocably satisfied.

      Section 2.17 The Agent's and the Lenders' Rights, Duties, and Liabilities.

            (a)   Each Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability arising
      from or relating to the use, sale, license, or other disposition of the
      Collateral. The Secured Obligations shall not be affected by any failure
      of the Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect the Agent's Liens
      or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage
      to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of the Secured Obligations.
      During the existence of any Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not
      be required to), and at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall,
      without notice to or consent from any Grantor, sue upon or otherwise
      collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of,
      compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant
      other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and
      take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any
      security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance
      applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in
      connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise
      affecting the liability of any Grantor for the Secured Obligations or
      under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement now or hereafter
      existing between the Agent and/or any Lender and such Grantor.

            (b)   It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein
      to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall remain liable under
      each of its contracts and each of its licenses to observe and perform all
      the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it
      thereunder. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 14
<PAGE>
      or liability under any contract or license by reason of or arising out of
      this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by
      the Agent or any Lender of any payment relating to any contract or license
      pursuant hereto. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required or
      obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of
      any Grantor under or pursuant to any contract or license, or to make any
      payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any
      payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party
      under any contract or license, or to present or file any claims, or to
      take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of
      any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
      entitled at any time or times.

            (c)   The Agent may any time during the existence of a Default or an
      Event of Default (or if any rights of set-off (other than set-offs against
      an Account arising under the contract giving rise to the same Account) or
      contra accounts may be asserted with respect to the following), without
      prior notice to any Grantor, and upon the request of the Agent each
      Grantor shall, notify Account Debtors, and other Persons obligated on the
      Collateral that the Agent has a security interest therein, and that
      payments shall be made directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent
      and the Lenders. Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor
      or other Person obligated on the Collateral, no Grantor shall give any
      contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without the
      Agent's prior written consent.

            (d)   The Agent may at any time in the Agent's own name or in the
      name of any Grantor communicate with the Grantors' Account Debtors,
      parties to contracts, and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify
      with such Persons, to the Agent's satisfaction, the existence, amount, and
      terms of Accounts, payment intangibles, Instruments, or Chattel Paper. If
      a Default or Event of Default exists, each Grantor, at its own expense,
      shall cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by
      such Grantor to prepare and deliver to the Agent and each Lender at any
      time and from time to time promptly upon the Agent's request the following
      reports with respect to such Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all
      Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a
      test verification of such Accounts as the Agent may request. Each Grantor,
      at its own expense, shall deliver to the Agent the results of each
      physical verification, if any, which such Grantor may in its discretion
      have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all
      or any portion of its Inventory.

      Section 2.18 Patent, Trademark, and Copyright Collateral.

            (a)   No Grantor has any interest in, or title to, any patents,
      patent applications, trademark and service mark registrations and
      applications, and copyright registrations and applications except as set
      forth in Schedule 6.10 of the Credit Agreement. This Agreement is
      effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on and, upon filing of
      each Copyright Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office
      and filing of each Patent Security Agreement and Trademark Security
      Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and filing of
      appropriate financing statements pursuant to the UCC, perfected Liens in
      favor of the Agent, the Proprietary Rights of each Grantor to the extent
      registered under the Requirements of Laws of the U.S., and such perfected


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 15
<PAGE>
      Liens are enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and
      purchasers from any Grantor. Upon filing of all such Copyright Security
      Agreements, Patent Security Agreements, and Trademark Security Agreements
      and the filing of appropriate financing statements pursuant to the UCC,
      all action necessary to protect and perfect the Agent's Lien on each
      Grantor's Proprietary Rights under Requirements of Law shall have been
      duly taken.

            (b)   Each Grantor shall notify the Agent immediately if it knows or
      has reason to know that any application or registration relating to any
      Proprietary Rights (now or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or
      dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including the
      institution of, or any such determination or development in, any
      proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
      States Copyright Office, or any court) regarding such Grantor's ownership
      of any Proprietary Rights, its right to register the same, or to keep and
      maintain the same.

            (c)   In no event shall any Grantor, either directly or through any
      agent, employee, licensee, or designee, file an application for the
      registration of any Proprietary Rights with the United States Patent and
      Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, or any similar
      office or agency without giving the Agent prior written notice thereof,
      and, upon request of the Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver any
      and all Copyright Security Agreements, Patent Security Agreements, or
      Trademark Security Agreements as the Agent may request to evidence the
      Agent's Lien on such Proprietary Rights and the General Intangibles of
      such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

            (d)   Each Grantor shall take all actions necessary or requested by
      the Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant
      registration and to maintain the registration of each of the Proprietary
      Rights (now or hereafter existing), including the filing of applications
      for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and
      opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings unless the
      applicable Grantor determines that such Proprietary Rights are not
      material to the conduct of its business.

            (e)   In the event that any Proprietary Right is infringed upon, or
      misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall notify the
      Agent promptly after the Grantor learns of such infringement,
      misappropriation, or dilution and, unless it reasonably determines that
      such Proprietary Rights are not material to the conduct of its business or
      operations, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation, or dilution
      and to recover any and all damages for such infringement,
      misappropriation, or dilution, and shall take such other actions as the
      Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
      Proprietary Rights.

      Section 2.19 Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding, or action brought
by the Agent or any Lender relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with
respect thereto or to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, each
Grantor will save, indemnify, and keep the Agent and the Lenders harmless from
and against all expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses),
loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other
Person obligated on the


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 16
<PAGE>
Collateral, arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder
or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness, or liability at any time
owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from any Grantor,
except in the case of the Agent or any Lender, to the extent such expense, loss,
or damage is attributable solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. All such obligations of any Grantor shall be and remain
enforceable against and only against such Grantor and shall not be enforceable
against the Agent or any Lender.

      Section 2.20 Limitation on Liens on Collateral. No Grantor will create,
permit, or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take
such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except
Permitted Liens, and each Grantor will defend the right, title, and interest of
the Agent and the Lenders in and to any of such Grantor's rights under the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

      Section 2.21 Notice Regarding Collateral. Each Grantor will advise the
Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, (a) of any Lien (other than Permitted
Liens) or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral, and (b) of the
occurrence of any other event which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

      Section 2.22 Remedies; Rights Upon Default.

            (a)   In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it
      under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and
      under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing, or relating
      to any of the Secured Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have
      occurred and be continuing, the Agent may exercise all rights and remedies
      of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the
      foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event the Agent,
      without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement, or notice of
      any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or
      private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of
      which demands, advertisements, and notices are hereby expressly waived to
      the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may
      forthwith enter upon the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is
      located through self-help, without judicial process, without first
      obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person
      notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Agent's claim or action and
      may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, and realize upon the
      Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license,
      assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise
      dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part
      thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at
      any exchange at such prices as the Agent may deem acceptable, for cash or
      on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
      The Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or
      sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or
      sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, the whole
      or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
      redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases. Such
      sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without
      notice. The Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any
      Grantor's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use each


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 17
<PAGE>
      Grantor's premises without charge for such time or times as the Agent
      deems necessary or advisable.

            (b)   Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent's request, to
      assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place or
      places designated by the Agent which are reasonably convenient to the
      Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere.
      Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of
      Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or
      any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose
      of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed
      appropriate by the Agent. The Agent shall have no obligation to any
      Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against
      third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the
      possession of the Agent. The Agent may, if it so elects, seek the
      appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and
      to enforce any of the Agent's remedies (for the benefit of the Agent and
      the Lenders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or
      hearing as to such appointment. The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of
      any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization, or
      sale to the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, and
      only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the
      Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Agent
      account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantors. To the maximum extent
      permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and
      demands against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession,
      retention, or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of
      the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such the Lender
      as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor
      agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by the Agent of the time and place
      of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take
      place is reasonable notification of such matters. Each Grantor shall
      remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or
      disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured
      Obligations, including any attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred by
      the Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

            (c)   Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor
      hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, or any notice (to the maximum
      extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this
      Agreement or any Collateral.

            (d)   To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent
      to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor
      acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the
      Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the
      Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw
      material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products
      for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to
      Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other
      law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the
      collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of,
      (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or
      other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse
      claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
      Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or
      through the use of collection


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 18
<PAGE>
      agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions
      of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation,
      whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact
      other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for
      expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such
      Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist
      in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a
      specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet
      sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
      Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match
      buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale
      rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such
      as title, possession, or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or
      credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection,
      or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed
      return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the
      extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other
      brokers, investment bankers, consultants, and other professionals to
      assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
      Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section
      2.22(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or
      omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the
      Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions
      or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable
      solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 2.22(d). Without
      limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 2.22(d)
      shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any
      duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this
      Agreement or by Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section
      2.22(d).

      Section 2.23 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the
purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 2.22
or under any other Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law, in order to
take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market
for sale, sell, or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as the Agent
shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor
hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, an
irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license, or sublicense any
Proprietary Rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever
the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in
which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer
software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

      Section 2.24 Limitation on the Agent's and the Lenders' Duty in Respect of
Collateral. The Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to
the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Agent nor any
Lender shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or
control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Agent or
such Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

      Section 2.25 Voting Rights, Distributions, Etc. in Respect of Investment
Property.

            (a)   So long as no Event of Default exists (i) each Grantor shall
      be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights
      (including, without limitation, the right to give consents, waivers, and
      notifications in respect of any securities) pertaining to its Investment
      Property or any part thereof; provided, however, that without the prior
      written consent of the Agent and the Majority Lenders, no vote shall be
      cast or consent, waiver, or ratification given or action taken which would
      (A) be inconsistent with or violate any provision of the Credit Agreement,
      this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or (B) amend, modify, or waive
      any material term, provision, or condition of the certificate of
      incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation, or other charter document
      or other agreement relating to, evidencing, providing for the issuance of,
      or securing any such Investment Property, in any manner that would impair
      such Investment Property, the transferability thereof, or the Agent's
      Liens therein, and (ii) each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and
      retain any and all dividends and interest paid in respect of any of such
      Investment Property (unless otherwise required by this Agreement).

            (b)   During the existence of an Event of Default, (i) the Agent
      may, without notice to any Grantor or any other Person obligated for
      payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, transfer or
      register in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees, for the benefit
      of the Agent and the Lenders, any or all of the Collateral consisting of
      Investment Property, the proceeds thereof (in cash or otherwise), and all
      liens, security, rights, remedies, and claims of any Grantor with respect
      thereto (as used in this Section 2.25 collectively, the "Pledged
      Collateral") held by the Agent hereunder, and the Agent or its nominee may
      thereafter, after delivery of notice to the applicable Grantor, exercise
      all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of any corporation,
      partnership, or other business entity issuing any of the Pledged
      Collateral and any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription,
      or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any of the
      Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including,
      without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of
      the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
      recapitalization, or other readjustment of any corporation, partnership,
      or other business entity issuing any of such Pledged Collateral or upon
      the exercise by any such issuer or the Agent of any right, privilege, or
      option pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral, and in connection
      therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral
      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 the Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights,
      privileges, or options, and the Agent shall not be responsible for any
      failure to do so or delay in so doing, (ii) after the Agent's giving of
      the notice specified in clause (i) of this Section 2.25(b), all rights of
      any Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it
      would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) of Section
      2.25(a) and to receive the dividends, interest, and other distributions
      which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain thereunder
      shall be suspended until such Event of Default shall no longer exist, and
      all such rights shall, until such Event of Default shall no longer exist,
      thereupon become vested in the Agent which shall thereupon have the sole
      right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to


SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 20
<PAGE>
      receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, interest, and other
      distributions, (iii) all dividends, interest, and other distributions
      which are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this
      Section 2.25(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent,
      shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be
      forthwith paid over to the Agent as Collateral in the same form as so
      received (with any necessary endorsement), and (iv) each Grantor shall
      execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Agent
      all such proxies and other instruments as the Agent may reasonably request
      for the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise the voting and other
      rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 2.25(b)
      and to receive the dividends, interest, and other distributions which it
      is entitled to receive and retain pursuant to this Section 2.25(b). The
      foregoing shall not in any way limit the Agent's power and authority
      granted pursuant to Section 2.16.

      Section 2.26 Contribution and Indemnification. To the extent that any
Grantor shall make any transfer (including, without limitation, any lien,
payment, grant, or guaranty) pursuant to this Agreement (any such transfer
hereinafter being called an "Accommodation Payment") then the Grantor making
such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification
from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Grantors in an amount, for each of
such other Grantors, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the
numerator of which fraction is such other Grantor's Allocable Amount (as defined
below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all
of the Grantors. As of any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of each
Grantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation
Payments which could be asserted against such Grantor hereunder without (a)
rendering such Grantor "insolvent" within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the
Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act ("UFTA") or
Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act ("UFCA"), (b) leaving such
Grantor with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section
548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or
(c) leaving such Grantor unable to pay its debts as they become due within the
meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or
Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification,
and reimbursement under this paragraph shall be subordinate in right of payment
to the prior payment in full of the Secured Obligations. The provisions of this
paragraph shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provisions in any
Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

      Section 2.27 Acknowledgment of Pledge. With respect to any Investment
Property issued by a Grantor which at any time is owned by another Grantor or by
Daisytek International Corporation and constitutes an uncertificated security as
defined in the UCC, such issuing Grantor will comply with instructions
originated by the Agent without further consent by the registered owner thereof.
All shares of Capital Stock, which constitute a certificated security as defined
in the UCC, issued by a Grantor at any time owned by another Grantor or by
Daisytek International Corporation, and all warrants, and all non-cash dividends
and other non-cash distributions in respect thereof at any time registered in
the name of, or otherwise deliverable to, such owning Person, shall be delivered
to Agent, for the account of such owning Person, at the Agent's address
specified in the Credit Agreement.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      Section 3.1 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against
any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become
insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or
should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any
Grantor's assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations,
or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in
amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured
Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the
event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored, or
returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by
such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored, or returned.

      Section 3.2 Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is
provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration, or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any
of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to
give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this
Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, or
other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and
deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

      Section 3.3 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is to be
read, construed, and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and
agreement of the Agent, the Lenders, and each Grantor with respect to the
matters referred to herein and therein.

      Section 3.4 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Agent nor any
Lender shall by any act, delay, omission, or otherwise be deemed to have waived
any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in
writing, signed by the Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A
waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise
have on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising
on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, power, or privilege
hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or
future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised
singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies
provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be
waived, altered, modified, or amended



SECURITY AGREEMENT - Page 22
<PAGE>
except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Agent and the Grantors,
subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

      Section 3.5 Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies, and powers provided
in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof
does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this
Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of
law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that
they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in
part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered, or filed under the provisions
of any applicable law.

      Section 3.6 Termination of this Agreement. Subject to the Credit Agreement
and Section 3.1, this Agreement shall terminate following termination of the
Credit Agreement upon the satisfactory collateralization of all Letters of
Credit and Credit Support and the payment in full of all other Obligations
(other than indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted).

      Section 3.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of
each Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each
Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of any Grantor) and shall,
together with the rights and remedies of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent
and the Lenders, inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, all future
holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations and their
respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales,
assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing or
instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest
therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to the Agent, for the
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders. No Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate,
or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Agreement.

      Section 3.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be authenticated in any
number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately
constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement may be authenticated by
manual signature, facsimile, or, if approved in writing by the Agent, electronic
means, all of which shall be equally valid. A telecopy of any such executed
counterpart shall be deemed valid as an original.

      Section 3.9 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process.

            (a)   THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND
      LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
      INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS, PROVIDED
      THAT PERFECTION ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO ARTICLE 9 OF THE UCC MAY GIVE
      EFFECT TO APPLICABLE CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW RULES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE
      9 OF THE UCC) OF THE STATE OF TEXAS; PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT SHALL RETAIN
      ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

      DOCUMENT, OR INSTRUMENT RELATED HERETO OR THERETO. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
      FOREGOING (i) THE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR
      PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY GRANTOR OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
      JURISDICTION THE AGENT DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE

      DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A
      COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.

            (c)   EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL
      PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE
      BY REGISTERED MAIL (RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) DIRECTED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT
      ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.8 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND SERVICE
      SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL
      HAVE BEEN SO DEPOSITED IN THE U.S. MAILS POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING
      CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS TO
      SERVE LEGAL PROCESS BY ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

      Section 3.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND THE AGENT
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
