It is agreed that, at any time the Bank so elects, the Bank shall be entitled, in its own name or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, but at the expense and cost of the Borrower, to collect, demand, receive, sue for or compromise any and all accounts, chattel paper, certificated securities, negotiable certificates of deposit, documents, general intangibles, and instruments, and to give good and sufficient releases, to endorse any checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money payable to the Borrower and, in the Bank's discretion, to file any claims or take any action or proceeding which the Bank may deem necessary or advisable. It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that the Bank shall not be required or obligated in any manner to make any demand or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file any claim or take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Bank or to which the Bank may be entitled at any time or times. All notices required in this paragraph will be immediately effective when sent. Such notices need not be given prior to the Bank's taking action. The Borrower irrevocably appoints the Bank or the Bank's designee as the Borrower's attorney-in-fact to do all things with reference to the Collateral as provided for in this agreement including without limitation (1) to sign the Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Collateral, on assignments and verifications of account and on notices to the Borrower's customers, and (2) to do all things necessary to carry out this agreement or to perform any of the Borrower's obligations under this agreement, (3) to notify the post office authorities to change the Borrower's mailing address to one designated by the Bank, and (4) to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to the Borrower. The Borrower ratifies and approves all acts of the Bank as attorney-in-fact. This power of attorney appointment is irrevocable, coupled with an interest, and shall survive the death or disability of Borrower. The Bank shall not be liable for any act or omission, nor any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, but only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until all of the Liabilities have been fully satisfied. Immediately upon its receipt of any Collateral evidenced by an agreement, "instrument," "chattel paper," certificated "security" or "document" (as such terms are defined in the UCC) (collectively, "Special Collateral"), it shall mark the Special Collateral to show that it is subject to the Bank's security interest, pledge and assignment and shall deliver the original to the Bank together with appropriate endorsements and other specific evidence of assignment or transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank.

It will not, sell, lease, license or offer to sell, lease, license, grant as security to anyone other than the Bank, or otherwise transfer the Collateral or any rights in or to the Collateral, without the written consent of the Bank, except for the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business; or change the location of the Collateral from the locations of the Collateral disclosed to the Bank, without providing at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to the Bank.

Remedies Regarding Collateral. The Bank shall have the right to require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Bank at a place to he designated by the Bank which is reasonably convenient to both parties, the right to take possession of the Collateral with or without demand and with or without process of law, and the right to sell and dispose of it and distribute the proceeds according to law. The Borrower agrees that upon default the Bank may dispose of any of the Collateral in its then present condition, that the Bank has no duty to repair or clean the Collateral prior to sale, and that the disposal of the Collateral in its present condition or without repair or clean-up shall not affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale or disposition. The Bank's compliance with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with the disposition of the Collateral will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Bank may disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment, and the like, and the Borrower agrees that any such action shall not affect the commercial reasonableness of the sale. In connection with the right of the Bank to take possession of the Collateral, the Bank may take possession of any other items of property in or on the Collateral at the time of taking possession, and hold them for the Borrower without liability on the part of the Bank. The Borrower expressly agrees that the Bank may enter upon the premises where the Collateral is believed to be located without any obligation of payment to the Borrower, and that the Bank may, without cost, use any and all of the Borrower's "equipment" (as defined in the UCC) in the manufacturing or processing of any "inventory" (as defined in the UCC) or in growing, raising, cultivating, caring for, harvesting, loading and transporting of any of the Collateral that constitutes "farm products" (as defined in the UCC). If there is any statutory requirement for notice, that requirement shall be met if the Bank sends notice to the Borrower at least ten (10) days prior to the date of sale, disposition or other event giving rise to the required notice, and such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. Without limiting any other remedy, the Borrower is liable for any deficiency remaining after disposition of the Collateral. The Bank is authorized to cause all or any part of the Collateral to be transferred to or registered in its name or in the name of any other person or business entity, with or without designating the capacity of that nominee. At its option the Bank may, but shall be under no duty or obligation to, discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral, pay for insurance on the Collateral, and pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral, and the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank on demand for any such payment made or expense incurred by the Bank with interest at the highest rate at which interest may accrue under any of the instruments evidencing the Liabilities. The Borrower authorizes the Bank to endorse on the Borrower's behalf and to negotiate drafts reflecting proceeds of insurance of the Collateral, provided that the Bank shall remit to the Borrower such surplus, if any, as remains after the proceeds have been applied, at the Bank's option, to the satisfaction of all of the
Liabilities (in such order of application as the Bank may elect) or to the establishment of a cash collateral account for the Liabilities. The Bank shall have the right now, and at any time in the future in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to the Borrower to (a) prepare, file and sign the Borrower's name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any owner of the Collateral and (b) prepare, file and sign the Borrower's name on any notice of lien, assignment or satisfaction of lien or similar document in connection with the Collateral.
Miscellaneous. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this agreement is sufficient as, and can be filed as, a financing statement or similar record, The Borrower authorizes the Bank to file one or more financing statements or similar records covering the Collateral or such lesser amount of assets as the Bank may determine, or the Bank may, at its option, file financing statements or similar records containing any collateral description which reasonably describes the Collateral, and the Borrower will pay the cost of filing them in all public offices where filing is deemed by the Bank to be necessary or desirable. In addition, the Borrower shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such other documents as the Bank may from time to time request to perfect or to further evidence the pledge, security interest and assignment created in the Collateral by this agreement. If any provision of this agreement cannot be enforced, the remaining portions of this agreement shall continue in effect. Time is of the essence under this agreement and in the performance of every term, covenant and obligation contained herein.
THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

Continued Reliance. This Guaranty shall remain in effect until payment in full of the Remaining Liabilities, as defined below, following termination of this Guaranty by the Guarantor in accordance with this paragraph. This Guaranty will continue to be in effect until final payment and performance in full of all Liabilities and the termination of any commitment of the Bank to make loans or other financial accommodations to the Borrower. The Guarantor may terminate the Guarantor's liability for Liabilities not in existence or for which the Bank has no commitment to advance or acquire by delivering written notice to the Bank as set forth in the paragraph below captioned "Notice." After the Guarantor's termination of this Guaranty, the Guarantor will continue to be liable for the following amounts (the "Remaining Liabilities"): (i) all Liabilities existing on the effective date of termination, (ii) all Liabilities to which the Bank has committed to advance or acquire prior to the effective termination date (whether or not the Bank is contractually obligated to advance or acquire the loans or extensions of credit), (iii) all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations, rearrangements, restatements, replacements and amendments (but not increases) of those Liabilities, (iv) all interest accruing on those Liabilities after the effective termination date and (v) all Collection Amounts incurred with respect to those Liabilities, on or after the effective termination date. The Bank may continue to permit the Borrower to incur Liabilities and to issue commitments to the Borrower to advance or acquire Liabilities in reliance on this Guaranty until the effective date of termination, regardless of whether at any time or from time to time there are no existing Liabilities nor commitment by the Bank to advance or acquire Liabilities.
Security. The term "Collateral" in this Guaranty means all real or personal property described in all security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, or other instruments now or hereafter executed in connection with any of the Liabilities. If applicable, the Collateral secures the payment of the Liabilities.
Bank's Right of Setoff. In addition to the Collateral, if any, the Guarantor grants to the Bank a security interest in the Accounts, and the Bank is authorized to setoff and apply, all Accounts, Securities and Other Property, and Bank Debt against any and all Liabilities of the Borrower and all obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty. This right of setoff may be exercised at any time and from time to time, and without prior notice to the Guarantor. This security interest in the Accounts and right of setoff may be enforced or
exercised by the Bank regardless of whether or not the Bank has made any demand under this paragraph or whether the Liabilities are contingent, matured, or unmatured. Any delay, neglect or conduct by the Bank in exercising its rights under this paragraph will not be a waiver of the right to exercise this right of setoff or enforce this security interest in the Accounts. The rights of the Bank under this paragraph are in addition to other rights the Bank may have by law. In this paragraph: (a) the term "Accounts" means any and all accounts and deposits of the Guarantor (whether general, special, time, demand, provisional or final) at any time held by the Bank (including all Accounts held jointly with another, but excluding any IRA or Keogh Account, or any trust Account in which a security interest would be prohibited by law); (b) the term "Securities and Other Property" means any securities entitlements, securities accounts, investment property, financial assets and all securities and other property of the Guarantor in the custody, possession or control of the Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates (other than property held by the Bank in a fiduciary capacity); and (c) the term "Bank Debt" means all indebtedness at any time owing by the Bank to or for the credit or account of the Guarantor and any claim of the Guarantor (whether individual, joint and several or otherwise) against the Bank now or hereafter existing.
Remedies/Acceleration. If the Guarantor fails to pay any amount owing under this Guaranty, the Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies provided by law or under any other agreement. The Bank is authorized to cause all or any part of the Collateral to be transferred to or registered in its name or in the name of any other person or business entity with or without designation of the capacity of that nominee. The Guarantor is liable for any deficiency in payment of any Liabilities whether of principal, interest, fees, costs or expenses remaining after the disposition of any Collateral. The Guarantor is liable to the Bank for all reasonable costs and expenses of any kind incurred in the making and collection of this Guaranty, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs. These costs and expenses include without limitation any costs or expenses incurred by the Bank in any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar proceeding. All obligations of the Guarantor to the Bank under this Guaranty, whether or not then due or absolute or contingent, shall, at the option of the Bank, without notice or demand, become due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of any default or event of default under the terms of any of the Liabilities or otherwise with respect to any agreement related to the Liabilities (or any other event that results in acceleration of the maturity of any Liabilities, including without limitation, demand for payment of any Liabilities constituting demand obligations or automatic acceleration in a legal proceeding) or the occurrence of any default under this Guaranty.
Permissible Actions. If any monies become available from any source other than the Guarantor that the Bank can apply to the Liabilities, the Bank may apply them in any manner it chooses, including but not limited to applying them against obligations, indebtedness or liabilities which are not covered by this Guaranty. The Bank may take any action against the Borrower, the Collateral, or any other person liable for any of the Liabilities. The Bank may release the Borrower or anyone else from the Liabilities, either in whole or in part, or release the Collateral, and need not perfect a security interest in the Collateral. The Bank does not have to exercise any rights that it has against the Borrower or anyone else, or make any effort to realize on the Collateral or any other collateral for the Liabilities, or exercise any right of set-off. The Guarantor authorizes the Bank, without notice or demand and without affecting the Guarantor's obligations hereunder, from time to time, to: (a) renew, modify, compromise, rearrange, restate, consolidate, extend, accelerate, postpone, grant any indulgence or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Liabilities or any part thereof, including increasing or decreasing the rate of interest thereon; (b) release, substitute or add any one or more endorsers, sureties, Guarantor or other guarantors; (c) take and hold Collateral for the payment of this Guaranty or the Liabilities, and enforce, exchange, impair, substitute, subordinate, waive or release any Liabilities or any Collateral for the Liabilities; (d) proceed against such Collateral and direct the order or manner of sale of such Collateral as the Bank in its discretion may determine; (e) apply any and all payments from the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Liabilities, or recoveries from such Collateral, in such order or manner as the Bank in its discretion may determine; and (f) to accept any partial payment of Liabilities or collateral for the Liabilities. The Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished or affected by (1) any act or omission of the Bank, (ii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, or any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrower, any other obligor or any of their respective assets, (iii) any change in the composition or structure of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Liabilities, including a merger or consolidation with any other person or entity, or (iv) any payments made upon the Liabilities. The Guarantor hereby expressly consents to any impairment of Collateral, including, but not limited to, failure to perfect a security interest and release Collateral and any such impairment or release shall not affect the Guarantor's obligations hereunder.
Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an absolute guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Therefore, the Bank may insist that the Guarantor pay immediately, and the Bank is not required to attempt to collect first from the Borrower, the Collateral, or any other person liable for the Liabilities. The obligation of the Guarantor shall be unconditional and absolute even if all or any part of any agreement between the Bank and the Borrower is unenforceable, void, voidable or illegal or uncollectible due to incapacity, lack of power or authority, discharge or for any reason whatsoever, and regardless of the existence of any defense, setoff, discharge or counterclaim (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) which the Borrower may assert. If the Borrower is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust, it is not necessary for the Bank to inquire into the powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, trustees or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any of the Liabilities made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantor's liability is absolute and unconditional irrespective of and shall not be released, diminished or
affected by: (a) any present or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend, restructure, render unenforceable or otherwise affect any term of any Liabilities; or (b) any war, riot or revolution impacting multinational companies or any act of expropriation, nationalization or currency inconvertibility or nontransferability arising fi-om governmental, legislative or executive measures affecting any obligor or the property of any obligor on the Liabilities.
Other Guarantors. If there is more than one Guarantor, the obligations under this Guaranty are joint and several. In addition, each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be jointly and severally liable with any other guarantor of the Liabilities. If the Bank elects to enforce its rights against fewer than all guarantors of the Liabilities, that election does not release the Guarantor from its obligations under this Guaranty. The compromise or release of any of the obligations of any of the other guarantors or the Borrower shall not serve to impair, waive, alter or release the Guarantor's obligations.
Rights of Subrogation. The Guarantor waives and agrees not to enforce any rights of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it may have against the Borrower, any person liable on the Liabilities, or the Collateral, until the Borrower and the Guarantor have fully performed all their obligations to the Bank, even if those obligations are not covered by this Guaranty.
Waivers. The Guarantor waives (a) to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all rights and benefits under any laws or statutes regarding sureties, as may be amended, and (b) any right the Guarantor may have to receive notice of the following matters before the Bank enforces any of its rights: (i) the Bank's acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) incurrence or acquisition of any Liabilities, any credit that the Bank extends to the Borrower, Collateral received or delivered, default by any party to any agreement related to the Liabilities or other action taken in reliance on this Guaranty, and all notices and other demands of any description, (iii) diligence and promptness in preserving liability against any obligor on the Liabilities, and in collecting or bringing suit to collect the Liabilities from any obligor on the Liabilities or to pursue any remedy in the Bank's power to pursue; (iv) notice of extensions, renewals, modifications, rearrangements, restatements and substitutions of the Liabilities or any Collateral for the Liabilities; (v) notice of failure to pay any of the Liabilities as they mature, any other default, adverse change in the financial condition of any obligor on the Liabilities, release or substitution of any Collateral, subordination of the Bank's rights in any Collateral, and every other notice of every kind that may lawfully be waived; (vi) the Borrower's default, (vii) any demand, intent to accelerate, diligence, presentment, dishonor and protest, or (viii) any action that the Bank takes regarding the Borrower, anyone else, the Collateral, or any of the Liabilities, which it might be entitled to by law or under any other agreement, (c) any right it may have to require the Bank to proceed against the Borrower, any other obligor or guarantor of the Liabilities, or the Collateral for the Liabilities or the Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty, or pursue any remedy in the Bank's power to pursue, (d) any defense based on any claim that the Guarantor's obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower, (e) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor's obligations hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (f) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever (other than payment in full) of the obligation of the Borrower for the Liabilities, and (g) any defense based on or arising out of any defense that the Borrower may have to the payment or performance of the Liabilities or any portion thereof. The Bank may waive or delay enforcing any of its rights without losing them. Any waiver affects only the specific terms and time period stated in the waiver. No modification or waiver of this Guaranty is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is being enforced.
Additional Waivers. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Guarantor waives (a) all rights of the Guarantor under Rule 31, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Chapter 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, and Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code; (b) to the extent the Guarantor is subject to the Texas Revised Partnership Act ("TRPA") or Section 152,306 of the Texas Business Organizations Code ("BOC"), compliance by the Bank with Section 3.05(d) of TRPA and Section 152.306(b) of BOC; and (c) if the Liabilities are secured by an interest in real property, all rights of the Guarantor under Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time).
Cooperation. The Guarantor agrees to fully cooperate with the Bank and not to delay, impede or otherwise interfere with the efforts of the Bank to secure payment from the assets which secure the Liabilities including actions, proceedings, motions, orders, agreements or other matters relating to relief from automatic stay, abandonment of property, use of cash collateral and sale of the Bank's collateral free and clear of all liens.
Reinstatement. The Guarantor agrees that to the extent any payment or transfer is received by the Bank in connection with the Liabilities, and all or any part of the payment or transfer is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be transferred or repaid by the Bank or transferred or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise (any of those payments or transfers is hereinafter referred to as a "Preferential Payment"), then this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, and whether or not the Bank is in possession of this Guaranty, or whether the Guaranty has been marked paid, released or canceled, or returned to the Guarantor and, to the extent of the payment, repayment or other transfer by the Bank, the Liabilities or part intended to be satisfied by the Preferential Payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the Preferential Payment had not been made.
Information. The Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower's financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Liabilities and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that the Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guaranty, and agrees that the Bank does not have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
Financial Information. The Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantor shall provide to the Bank the financial statements and other information relating to the financial condition, properties and affairs of the Guarantor as the Bank requests from time to time.
Severability. The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of the Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantor or the Bank, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding.

The Guarantor represents and warrants that the following statements are true and will remain true until termination of this Guaranty and payment in full of all Liabilities: (a) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the performance of the obligations it imposes do not violate any law, do not conflict with any agreement by which it is bound, or require the consent or approval of any governmental authority or any third party; (b) this Guaranty is a valid and binding agreement, enforceable according to its terms; (c) all balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and other financial statements furnished to the Bank in connection with the Liabilities are accurate and fairly reflect the financial condition of the organizations and persons to which they apply on their effective dates, including contingent liabilities of every type, which financial condition has not changed materially and adversely since those dates; (d) the Guarantor has filed all federal and state tax returns that are required to be filed, has paid all due and payable taxes and assessments against the property and income of the Guarantor and all payroll, excise and other taxes required to be collected and held in trust by the Guarantor for any governmental authority; (e) the Guarantor has determined that this Guaranty will benefit the Guarantor directly or indirectly; (f) the Guarantor has (i) without reliance on the Bank or any information received from the Bank and based upon the records and information the Guarantor deems appropriate, made an independent investigation of the Borrower, the Borrower's business, assets, operations, prospects and condition, financial or otherwise, and any circumstances that may bear upon those transactions, the Borrower or the obligations, liabilities and risks undertaken in this Guaranty with respect to the Liabilities; (ii) adequate means to obtain from the Borrower on a continuing basis information concerning the Borrower and the Bank has no duty to provide any information concerning the Bon-ower or any other obligor to the Guarantor; (iii) full and complete access to the Borrower and any and all records relating to any Liabilities now and in the future owing by the Borrower; (iv) not relied and will not rely upon any representations or warranties of the Bank not embodied in this Guaranty or any acts taken by the Bank prior to and after execution or other authentication and delivery of this Guaranty (including but not limited to any review by the Bank of the business, assets, operations, prospects and condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower); and (v) determined that the Guarantor will receive benefit, directly or indirectly, and has or will receive fair and reasonably equivalent value for, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty; (g) by entering into this Guaranty, the Guarantor does not intend to incur or believe that the Guarantor will incur debts that would be beyond the Guarantor's ability to pay as those debts mature; (h) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty are not intended to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of the Guarantor; and (i) the Guarantor is neither engaged in nor about to engage in any business or transaction for which the remaining assets of the Guarantor are unreasonably small in relation to the business or transaction, and any property remaining with the Guarantor after the execution or other authentication of this Guaranty is not unreasonably small capital.

Usury.

To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is applicable to this Note, the "weekly ceiling" specified in Chapter 303 is the applicable ceiling.
