                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT

         THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (as may be amended or otherwise modified from
time to time, this "Guaranty") dated as of November 29, 2000, is from Probex
Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Guarantor"), and is to and for the benefit of
the Noteholders referred to hereinafter and Wilmington Trust Company, as
Collateral Agent for the Noteholders (in such capacity the "Collateral Agent").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         A. Probex Fluids Recovery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), the various investors (collectively, the "Noteholders") as are or
may from time to time become parties thereto and Guarantor have entered into a
Note Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (herein, as the same may be
amended, modified, supplemented, extended, rearranged, restated, or waived from
time to time, called the "Note Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which, upon the
terms and conditions therein set forth, the Noteholders have agreed to advance
funds to the Company, which funds are evidenced by the 7% Senior Secured
Convertible Notes of the Company of even date herewith, in the aggregate
original principal amount of $12,500,000, payable to the Noteholders,
respectively (herein, as such convertible promissory notes are amended,
extended, modified, rearranged and/or supplemented, from time to time together
with any promissory notes given in extension, replacement, rearrangement,
modification and/or substitution thereof or therefor, collectively called the
"Notes"). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings assigned in the Note Purchase Agreement.

         B. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery of the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Guarantor is required to execute and deliver this
Guaranty.

         C. The Guarantor has duly authorized the execution, delivery and
performance of this Guaranty.

         D. It is in the best interests of the Guarantor to execute this
Guaranty inasmuch as the Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect
benefits from the funds to be advanced to Company pursuant to the Note Purchase
Agreement.

         NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor agrees, for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and each other Noteholder, as follows:

                                       1
<PAGE>   2

                                   ARTICLE I.

                                    Guaranty

1.1. Guaranty. For value received, and in consideration of any loan or other
financial accommodation, heretofore or hereafter at any time made or granted to
the Company by the Noteholders, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees
the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and
at all times thereafter, of all obligations of the Company to the Collateral
Agent and each Noteholder and their successors and assigns, howsoever created,
arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, primary or secondary, absolute
or contingent, joint or several, or now or hereafter existing or due or to
become due, including, without limitation, all such amounts which would become
due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a), and the operation of
Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of such Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 502(b) and
Section 506(b), under and in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement,
including, without limitation under (a) the Notes, (b) the Note Purchase
Agreement and (c) the Security Agreement (all such obligations being hereinafter
collectively called the "Liabilities"), and the Guarantor further agrees to pay
all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) paid or
incurred by the Collateral Agent and any other Noteholder in endeavoring to
collect the Liabilities, or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Guaranty.
Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the amount of this
Guaranty, however, shall not exceed the maximum amount which the Guarantor can
pay under this Guaranty without having such payment set aside as a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance or similar action under such Bankruptcy Code or any
applicable state law. The term Liabilities shall include any future advances by
the Noteholders (whether in the form of debt or equity) to or for the benefit of
the Borrower, regardless of whether before or after the Noteholders become the
owner of any or all of the stock in the Borrower. This Guaranty is a direct
obligation of Guarantor to make the Investors whole on the investment evidenced
by the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement (including interest and other
amounts payable under the Note Purchase Agreement).

1.2. Bankruptcy. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of the
dissolution or insolvency of the Company or the Guarantor, or the inability or
failure of the Company or the Guarantor to pay their respective debts as they
become due, or an assignment by the Company or the Guarantor for the benefit of
creditors, or the commencement of any case or proceeding in respect of the
Company or the Guarantor under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, and
if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Liabilities may not then be
due and payable, the Guarantor will pay to the Noteholders forthwith the full
amount which would be payable hereunder by the Guarantor as if all Liabilities
were then due and payable.

1.3. Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable
law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of, and
throughout the continuance of, any Event of Default under the Note Purchase
Agreement (an "Event of Default"), the Collateral Agent and each Noteholder and
each subsequent holder of any of the Notes is hereby authorized by the Guarantor
without notice to the Company,

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

the Guarantor or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly
waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all indebtedness at
any time held or owing by the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, that
Noteholder or that subsequent holder to or for the credit or the account of the
Guarantor, whether or not matured, against and on account of the obligations and
liabilities of the Company or the Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, such
Noteholder or such subsequent holder under the Note Purchase Agreement,
including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising
out of or connected with the Financing Documents (as such term is defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) irrespective of whether or not (a) the Collateral
Agent, such Noteholder or such subsequent holder shall have made any demand
hereunder, or (b) the liabilities or any other amounts due hereunder shall have
become due and payable and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of
them, may be contingent or unmatured.

1.4. Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a
continuing, absolute and unconditional Guaranty, and shall remain in full force
and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution of the Company
or the Guarantor or that at any time or from time to time all Liabilities may
have been paid in full), until all Liabilities (including any renewals,
extensions and/or rearrangements of any thereof), all interest thereon and all
reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses)
paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent and the other Noteholders in
endeavoring to collect the Liabilities and in enforcing this Guaranty shall have
been finally paid in full and the Commitments have been permanently terminated.

1.5. Reinstatement. The Guarantor further agrees that, if at any time all or any
part of any payment theretofore applied by the Collateral Agent or any
Noteholder to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the
Collateral Agent or any Noteholder for any reason whatsoever (including, without
limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company), such
Liabilities shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such
payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in
existence, notwithstanding such application by the Collateral Agent or any
Noteholder, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by
the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder had not been made.

1.6. Rights of the Collateral Agent and Noteholders. The Collateral Agent or any
Noteholder may, from time to time, at its sole discretion and without notice to
the Guarantor, take any or all of the following actions:

         (a) retain or obtain a lien upon or a security interest in any property
of the Company to secure any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder;

         (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor
or obligors, in addition to the Guarantor, with respect to any of the
Liabilities;

         (c) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than
the original period), alter or exchange any of the Liabilities, or release or
compromise any

                                       4
<PAGE>   4

obligation of any Guarantor hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any
other obligor with respect to any of the Liabilities;

         (d) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than
the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations
of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such property securing any of
the Liabilities; or

         (e) resort to Guarantor for payment of any of the Liabilities, whether
or not the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders shall have proceeded against any
other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the
Liabilities (all of the actions referred to in this clause being hereby
expressly waived by the Guarantor).

1.7. Application of Payments. Any amounts received by the Collateral Agent or
any Noteholder from whatsoever source on account of the Liabilities may be
applied by it toward the payment of such of the Liabilities, and in such order
of application, as the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder may from time to time
elect, in each case consistent with the terms and provisions of the Note
Purchase Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.

1.8. Waiver.  (a)      The Guarantor hereby expressly waives:

                  (i) notice of the acceptance by the Collateral Agent or any
Noteholder of this Guaranty;

                  (ii) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of all
or any of the Liabilities;

                  (iii) presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of
intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor and all other
notices whatsoever;

                  (iv) all diligence in collection or protection of or
realization upon the Liabilities or any portion thereof, any obligation
hereunder, or any security for or guaranty of any of the foregoing; and

                  (v) any rights under, or any requirements imposed by, Chapter
34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code (or other applicable laws giving
rights or defenses to sureties), as amended, and any rights or requirements that
the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder first enforce any rights or remedies
against the Borrower or any other guarantor or against any collateral for any of
Liabilities.

         (b) No delay on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder in
the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no
single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder of any
right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the
provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon the Collateral Agent or any
Noteholder except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered
on behalf of the Collateral Agent or such Noteholder. No action of the
Collateral Agent or any Noteholder permitted hereunder shall in any way affect
or impair

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder and the obligations of the
Guarantor under this Guaranty. The obligations of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be joint, several, absolute and unconditional irrespective of any
circumstance whatsoever which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that there are no
conditions to the effectiveness of this Guaranty.

1.9. Subrogation. No payment made by or for the account of the Guarantor
pursuant to this Guaranty shall entitle Guarantor by subrogation or otherwise to
demand or receive any payments by the Company or from or out of any properties
of the Company until the Liabilities shall have been paid in full. The Guarantor
shall not exercise any right or remedy against the Company or any properties of
the Company by reason of any performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty until
the Liabilities shall have been paid in full.

1.10. Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates its rights to payment
from the Borrower of any obligations, howsoever created, arising or evidenced,
whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing or
due or to become due (collectively, the "Guarantor Liabilities"), to the
Liabilities of the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders, and no
payments or other distributions whatsoever in respect of any such Guarantor
Liabilities shall be made, nor shall any property or assets of the Company be
applied to the purchase, acquisition or retirement of any such Guarantor
Liabilities; provided that payments on such Guarantor Liabilities may be made at
any time no Event of Default or event, which with the passage of time or notice,
or both, may become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Any payments received by the Guarantor in respect of any such Guarantor
Liabilities owing to it other than as expressly provided herein shall be held in
trust for the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders.

1.11. Excess Liabilities. The creation or existence from time to time of
Liabilities in excess of the amount to which the right of recovery under this
Guaranty is limited, if any, is hereby authorized, without notice to the
Guarantor, and shall in no way affect or impair the rights of the Noteholders
and the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

1.12. Successors. Transferees and Assigns. The Collateral Agent and each
Noteholder may, from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor, assign or
transfer any or all of the Liabilities or any interest therein in accordance
with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement; and, notwithstanding any such
assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such
Liabilities shall be and remain Liabilities for the purposes of this Guaranty,
and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the
Liabilities or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of
such assignee or transferee in the Liabilities, be entitled to the benefits of
this Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the
transferring Noteholder; provided, however, that, unless the transferring
Noteholder shall otherwise consent in writing, the transferring Noteholder shall
have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such assignee or
transferee, to enforce this Guaranty, for the benefit of the transferring
Noteholder as to those of the Liabilities which the transferring Noteholder has
not assigned or transferred.

obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent
and the Noteholders.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

         This Security Agreement dated as of November 29, 2000 ("Security
Agreement") is between Probex Fluids Recovery, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Debtor"), and Wilmington Trust Company ("Collateral Agent") for the benefit of
the Noteholders (the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders are hereinafter
sometimes referred to collectively as "Secured Party").

                                  INTRODUCTION

         A. The Debtor has entered into a Note Purchase Agreement of even date
herewith (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from
time to time the "Note Purchase Agreement") with the noteholders party thereto
(together with their successors and assigns and any holder of the 7% Senior
Secured Convertible Notes, due November 28, 2004, issued thereunder (the
"Notes"), collectively referred to herein as the "Noteholders").

         B. Probex Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Guarantor"), has entered
into a Guaranty Agreement of even date herewith (such document, as amended,
modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, collectively referred to
as the "Guaranty Agreement"), pursuant to which the Guarantor guaranteed the
debt of the Debtor owing to the Noteholders under the Note Purchase Agreement.

         C. The Debtor, the Noteholders, the Guarantor, and the Collateral
Agent, as collateral agent, have entered into an Intercreditor and Collateral
Agency Agreement of even date herewith (the "Intercreditor Agreement") (1) to
establish the relative rights of the Noteholders with respect to payment of
their respective obligations owed by the Debtor and the Guarantor, (2) to agree
as to the exercise of certain remedies with respect to the Collateral (as
defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), (3) to appoint Wilmington Trust Company
as collateral agent for the benefit of the Noteholders for the purposes of
administering the Collateral Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement) and apportioning payments among the Noteholders, and (4) for other
purposes as set forth therein.

         D. It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Note
Purchase Agreement that the Debtor shall secure its obligations under the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Collateral Documents and any other Financing Document
(in each case, as such terms are defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) by
entering into this Security Agreement.

         Therefore, the Debtor hereby agrees with the Collateral Agent on behalf
of and for the benefit of the Noteholders as follows:

                                       1
<PAGE>   2

SECTION 1. Definitions. Any terms used in this Security Agreement that are
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Texas
("UCC") shall have the meanings assigned to those terms by the UCC, whether
specified elsewhere in this Security Agreement or not.

SECTION 2. Security Interest.

         2.1. Grant of Security Interest. The Debtor hereby grants to the
Secured Party on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders a
first priority security interest in the Collateral (as defined in Section 2.2
below) to secure the performance and payment of (a) all obligations and amounts
due and payable by the Debtor now and hereafter existing under the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Notes, this Security Agreement, the other Collateral Documents
and any other Financing Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement),
whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, expenses, indemnifications or
otherwise (all such obligations being collectively referred to herein as the
"Secured Obligations").

         2.2. Collateral. "Collateral" shall mean all of the Debtor' right,
title, and interest in the following, whether now owned or hereafter created or
acquired or arising:

                  (a) Accounts. All accounts whether now existing or hereafter
arising, and however evidenced or acquired, in which the Debtor now has or
hereafter acquire any rights (the term "Accounts" means and includes accounts,
accounts receivable, contract rights, including without limitation rights under
contracts for the purchase of supplies (in any such case to the extent a
security interest can be granted in particular contracts), instruments, notes,
drafts, acceptances, documents, chattel paper, any right of the Debtor to

                  (a) The true and correct name of Debtor as listed on its
articles or certificate of incorporation, as applicable, is the name of Debtor

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

Debtor's knowledge each Account constitutes the legally valid and binding
obligation of the customer obligated to pay the same arising from the sale,

Debtor to the Secured Party as owing by each customer is the correct amount
actually and unconditionally owing as of the date hereof.

         3.4. Equipment. All of the Equipment owned by Debtor is located at the
facilities specified on the attached Schedule 3.4. The Equipment is in good

has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable. To the best of Debtor's
knowledge, all of the Intellectual Property is valid and enforceable. As of the
date hereof, no claim has been made that the use of any of the Intellectual
Property does or may violate the rights of any third person. Debtor has
generally used proper statutory notice in connection with its use of the
Intellectual Property and consistent standards of quality in its manufacture of
products sold under the Intellectual Property. Except as set forth on Schedule
2.2(e) hereto, no Debtor has granted any licenses, orally or in writing, which

Debtor's material copyright rights has been identified to Secured Party and has
been registered at the United States Copyright Office.

         3.6. Other Liens. Debtor is the record and beneficial owner of all of
the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, except for the security interests
created by this Security Agreement and other Liens permitted by the Note
Purchase Agreement. No effective financing statement or other instrument similar
in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording
office, except such as may have been filed in connection with (a) Liens created
by this Security Agreement or (b) other Liens permitted by the Note Purchase
Agreement.

         3.7. Lien Priority and Perfection. The security interest in the
Collateral created pursuant to this Security Agreement creates a valid, binding,
and first priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment,
performance and observance of the Secured Obligations, and such security
interests will be perfected first priority security interests upon the filing of
appropriate financing statements naming Debtor as debtor and Secured Party as
secured party in the jurisdictions set forth on the attached Schedule 3.7, in
each case only to the extent such interest may be perfected by the filing of a
financing statement under the UCC.

         3.8. Authorizations and Approvals. No other authorization, approval, or
other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is
necessary to grant the security interests contemplated hereby, or to allow
Debtor to perform (other than authorizations, approvals or actions required in
the performance of its business generally and which it expects to obtain in the
ordinary course of its business) its

                                       5

obligations hereunder, or to permit the Secured Party or any Noteholder to
exercise its rights and remedies hereunder.

<PAGE>   8

                  (h) Debtor agrees that it will not enter into any agreement

written consent.

                  (i) Until the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default under the Note Purchase Agreement (collectively, an "Event of Default"),

<PAGE>   10

Material Adverse Effect or which change could materially and adversely affect
the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral.

         4.11. Expenses. Debtor shall promptly pay all expenses incurred in
connection with the maintenance, preservation or other handling of the

for any expenses which it might incur in satisfying such expenses, liens or
taxes, which the Secured Party may reasonably incur, in its sole discretion, to
protect the Collateral.

SECTION 5. Events of Default. Any of the following events shall be an Event of
Default:

                  (a) the occurrence of any "Event of Default" as defined in the
Note Purchase Agreement;

                  (b) the failure of Debtor to pay any obligation due and
payable pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement within three Business
Days after such payment is due; or

                  (c) the failure of Debtor to perform or observe any term or
provision of this Security Agreement, and such failure shall continue unremedied
for a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i) such Event of Default first

Party of the occurrence of such Event of Default.

SECTION 6. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and remain
uncured, and subject at all times to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement:

         6.1. UCC Remedies. To the extent permitted by law, the Secured Party
may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and
remedies provided for in this Security Agreement or otherwise available to it,
all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the
UCC applies to the affected Collateral).

         6.2. Assembly of Collateral. The Secured Party may require Debtor to,
at such Debtor's expense, promptly assemble all or part of the Collateral and
make it available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by the
Secured Party. The Secured Party may occupy any premises owned or leased by
Debtor where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled for a reasonable
period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law,
without obligation to such Debtor in respect of such occupation. The Secured
Party shall have no obligation to take any action to assemble or otherwise take
control of the Collateral, whether for the purposes of sale or otherwise.

         6.3. Sale of Collateral. Upon at least ten Business Days prior written
notice to the Debtor of the time and place of any proposed sale or other
disposition, the Secured Party may sell all or part of the Collateral at a
public or private sale, at any of the Secured

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and
upon such other terms as is commercially reasonable. The Secured Party shall not
be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from
time-to-time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned.

         6.4. Accounts. The Secured Party may, or may direct Debtor to, take any
action the Secured Party deems necessary or advisable to enforce collection of
the Accounts including, without limitation, notifying the account Debtor or
obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to the Secured
Party and directing such account Debtor or obligors to make payment of all
amounts due or to become due directly to the Secured Party. Upon such
notification and direction, and at the expense of the Debtor, the Secured Party
may enforce collection of any such Accounts, and adjust, settle, or compromise
the amount or payment thereof in the same manner and to the same extent as the
Debtor might have done. After receipt by Debtor of the notice referred to above,
all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by such Debtor in
respect of the Accounts shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Debtor, and
shall promptly be paid over to the Secured Party in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsement) to be held as Collateral. Debtor shall not
adjust, settle, or compromise the amount or payment of any receivable, or
release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any
credit or discount thereon except in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with past practices.

         6.5. Special Provisions for Collateral Located in Louisiana. The
following shall apply if the foreclosure rights and remedies are governed by the
laws of Louisiana. Upon the existence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Secured Party shall have the right to cause the Collateral to be
seized and sold under Louisiana executory or ordinary process, at the Secured
Party's sole option, without appraisement, appraisement being hereby expressly
waived, as an entirety or in portions as the Secured Party may determine, to the
highest bidder for cash, and otherwise exercise the rights, powers and remedies
afforded herein and under applicable Louisiana law. For purposes of Louisiana
executory process, the Debtor acknowledges the Secured Obligations and does
hereby confess judgment in favor of the Secured Party for the full amount of the
Secured Obligations not paid when due. Any and all declarations of fact made by
authentic act before a notary public in the presence of two witnesses by a
person declaring that such facts lie within his knowledge shall constitute
authentic evidence of such facts for the purpose of executory process. Each of
the Debtor hereby waives: (a) the benefit of appraisement as provided in
Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724, and all
other laws conferring the same; (b) the demand and three days' delay accorded by
Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2639 and 2721; (c) the notice of
seizure required by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2293 and 2721;
(d) the three days' delay provided by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles
2331 and 2722; and (e) the benefit of the other provisions of Louisiana Code of
Civil Procedure Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723, not specifically mentioned above.
In the event the Collateral or any part thereof is seized as an incident to an
action for the

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

recognition or enforcement of this Security Agreement by executory process,
ordinary process, sequestration, writ of fieri facias, or otherwise, each of the
Debtor and Secured Party agrees that the court issuing any such order shall, if
petitioned for by the Secured Party, direct the applicable sheriff to appoint as
a keeper of the Collateral, the Secured Party or any agent designated by the
Secured Party or any person named by the Secured Party at the time such seizure
is effected. This designation of a keeper will be pursuant to Louisiana Revised
Statutes 9:5136-9:5140.2 and the Secured Party or its agent shall be entitled to
all the rights and benefits of a keeper afforded thereunder as the same may be
amended. It is hereby agreed that the keeper shall be entitled to receive as

respective successors, and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and
remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of, and be binding upon,
the Secured Party, the Noteholders, and their respective successors,
transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
clause, when any Noteholder assigns or otherwise transfers any interest held by
it under the Note Purchase Agreement to any other Person pursuant to the terms
of the Note Purchase Agreement that other Person shall thereupon become vested
with all the benefits held by such Noteholder under this Security Agreement.
Upon the indefeasible payment in full and termination of the Secured
Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights
to the Collateral shall revert to the Debtor to the extent such Collateral shall
not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.
