CUSIP NO. 5021600-10-4

     This statement constitutes Amendment No. 27 to the Schedule 13D dated October 7, 1985, as amended (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the common stock, par value $.10 a share ("Common Stock") of LSB Industries, Inc. (the "Company"). All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed in the Schedule 13D.

     This Schedule 13D is reporting matters with respect to the group consisting of Jack E. Golsen, Sylvia H. Golsen, SBL Corporation ("SBL"), Golsen Petroleum Corporation ("GPC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SBL, Barry H. Golsen, Steven J. Golsen and Linda Golsen Rappaport.

     This Amendment No. 27 is being filed as a result of a change in the facts contained in the Schedule 13D. The change is due to the acquisition by SBL of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Series D 6% Cumulative, Convertible Class C Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred") on November 8, 2001, which resulted in an increase in SBL's beneficial ownership of Common Stock by more than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock. In addition to the foregoing, reference is made to Item 5(c) of this Amendment No. 27 for discussion of certain other transactions in the Company's Common Stock that were effected by certain reporting persons during the past 60 days from the filing date of this Amendment No. 27.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

         Item 1 of this Schedule 13D is unchanged.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

         Item 2 of this Schedule 13D is unchanged, except parts 5(b) 
         and (c) relating to Steven J. Golsen are amended to read 
         as follows:

         (b)  Business Address: 7300 S.W. 44th Street
                                Oklahoma City, OK 73179

         (c)  The principal occupation or employment of Steven J. 
              Golsen is Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman 
              of a subsidiary of the Company having the address 
              set forth above.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         On October 17, 1997, Prime Financial Corporation 
         ("Prime"), a subsidiary of the Company, borrowed from 
         SBL the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the "Prime 
         Loan") on an unsecured basis and payable on demand. 
         The purpose of the loan was to assist the Company 

 

Page 9 of 22 Pages

 

CUSIP NO. 5021600-10-4

         by providing additional liquidity. As of October 15, 
         2001, the unpaid principal balance on the Prime Loan 
         was $1,350,000.

         In order to make the Prime Loan to Prime, SBL and certain 
         of its affiliates borrowed the $3,000,000 from a bank
         (collectively, "SBL Borrowings"), and as part of the 
         collateral pledged by SBL to the bank in connection with 
         such loan, SBL pledged, among other things, its note 
         from Prime. Effective April 21, 2000, Prime guaranteed 
         on a limited basis the obligations of SBL and its 
         affiliates relating to the unpaid principal amount due 
         to the bank in connection with the SBL Borrowings, and, 
         in order to secure its obligations under the guarantees, 
         it pledged to the bank 1,973,461 shares of the Company's 
         Common Stock that it holds as treasury stock.

         On October 18, 2001, the Company and Prime entered into 
         an agreement (the "Agreement") to take in payment of 
         $1,000,000 of the unpaid balance of the debt under the 
         Prime Loan, 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred, with 
         each share of Series D Preferred having, among other
         things,.875 votes and voting as a class with the Common 
         Stock, a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share, 
         cumulative dividends at the rate of 6%, and 
         convertibility into Common Stock on the basis of four 
         shares of Series D Preferred into one share of Common 
         Stock. The rate of conversion is subject to increase 
         or decrease pursuant to the antidilution provisions 
         set forth in the Certificate of Designations of the 
         Series D Preferred. In connection with the Agreement, 
         the Company's limited guaranty to the bank has been 
         reduced to $350,000, and the number of shares of 
         Company Common Stock pledged by Prime to the lender 
         to secure its guaranty has been reduced to 973,450 
         shares.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

        The purpose of the transaction giving rise to the 
        filing of this Amendment No. 27 is described under 
        Item 3 above. The reporting persons do not presently 
        have any plans or proposals required to be reported 
        under Item 4 of this Schedule 13D.

          WHEREAS, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") established a Special Committee ("Special Committee") of the Board comprised of three outside and independent members of the Board, none (i) of whom are related to J.

          WHEREAS, the Special Committee, with the advice of its own counsel and investment bankers, none of whom have had any previous dealings with the Company, any subsidiaries of the Company, the Golsen Family or any entities controlled by the Golsen Family, have negotiated with SBL an agreement, whereby SBL has agreed to accept in payment of $1,000,000 of the Prime Loan one million shares of a new created series of the Company's Class C Preferred Stock, no par value ("New Series of Preferred"), with such shares of the New Series of Preferred having a designation of "Series D 6% Cumulative, Convertible Class C Preferred Stock, no par value, a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share and containing such designations, preferences, voting, dividend and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as stated and expressed in the Certificate of Designations attached hereto as Exhibit "A" ("New Series Preferred Certificate of Designations"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

          WHEREAS, in reliance upon the representations made by SBL in this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are such that the offer and issuance of securities by the Company hereunder will be exempt from registration under the applicable U.S. federal securities laws since this is a private placement and intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act; and

           3.     Conditions Precedent. The Company's and Prime's obligations under this Agreement is subject to all of the following conditions precedent being complied with:

                  3.1    The Stillwater Bank shall have delivered to SBL the original and all copies 
                           thereof of the Prime Note, so that SBL can mark "Canceled" and deliver 
                           such to Prime at the Closing, all in a manner satisfactory to the Company; and

                  3.2    The Stillwater Bank and Prime shall have amended the Prime Guaranty limiting 
                           Prime's obligations under the Prime Guaranty to an amount not to exceed 
                           $350,000. In addition, Stillwater Bank shall have returned to Prime 1,000,000 
                           shares of Prime Stock pledged by Prime to the Stillwater Bank, and Prime 
                           and Stillwater Bank shall have amended the Prime Security Agreement so that 
                           the only collateral pledged or to be pledged by Prime under the Prime Security 
                           Agreement or any other security agreement relating to the Prime Guaranty or 
                           any loans by the Stillwater Bank to SBL is 973,461 shares of the Company 
                           Common Stock. Further, Stillwater Bank shall amend the UCC-1 Financing 
                           Statement that may have been filed of record by the Stillwater Bank covering 
                           any and all collateral, including the Prime Stock, pledged by Prime to Stillwater 
                           Bank, to limit the collateral pledged by Prime to only 973,461 shares of the 
                           Prime Stock and terminating its lien in and to any and all other collateral. All 
                           of the above are to be in a manner satisfactory to the Company.

          4.     Closing. The consummation of this Agreement (the "Closing") will occur simultaneously with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 being met (the "Closing Date").

          5.     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of SBL. SBL hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:

                  5.1    Investment Intent. SBL represents and warrants that the shares of New Series 
                           of Preferred are being, and any underlying shares of Company Common Stock 
                           issuable upon conversion of the New Series of Preferred ("Conversion Shares") 
                           will be, purchased or acquired solely for SBL's own account, for investment 
                           purposes only and not with a view toward the distribution or resale to others. 
                           SBL acknowledges, understands and appreciates that the shares of New Series of
                           Preferred and the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities 
                           Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act 
                           which depends, in large part, upon SBL's representations as to investment intent, 
                           investor status, and related and other matters set forth herein. SBL understands 
                           that, in the view of the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"), among other 
                           things, a purchase now with an intent to distribute or resell would represent a 
                           purchase and acquisition with an intent inconsistent with its representation to the 

 

-4-

 

                           Company, and the SEC might regard such a transfer as a deferred sale for which 
                           the registration exemption is not available.

                 5.2    Certain Risk. SBL recognizes that the acquisition of the New Series of Preferred 
                          involves a high degree of risk, and while the Conversion Shares are presently 
                          quoted and traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, such (i) are not 
                          registered under applicable federal (U.S.) or state securities laws, and thus may 
                          bot be sold, conveyed, assigned or transferred unless registered under such laws 
                          or unless an exemption from registration is available under such laws, as more fully
                          described herein and (ii) the New Series of Preferred subscribed for and that are 
                          to be acquired under this Agreement are not quoted, traded or listed for trading or
                          quotation on any organized market or quotation system, and there is therefore no 
                          present public or other market for the New Series of Preferred, nor can there be 
                          any assurance that the Conversion Shares will continue to be quoted, traded or 
                          listed for trading or quotation on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board or on any 
                          other organized market or quotation system.

                5.3     Prior Investment Experience. SBL acknowledges that it and/or the owners 
                          of its stock have prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed 
                          and non-registered securities, or has employed the services of an investment 
                          advisor, attorney or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made 
                          available by the Company to it and to evaluate the merits and risks of such an 
                          investment on its behalf and that it recognizes the highly speculative nature of this
                          investment.

               5.4     No Review by the SEC. SBL hereby acknowledges that this offering of the 
                         New Series of Preferred has not been reviewed by the SEC because this private 
                         placement is intended to be an nonpublic offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 
                         Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

               5.5     Not Registered. SBL understands that the New Series of Preferred and the 
                         Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason 
                         of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, 
                         in part, upon SBL's investment intention. In this connection, SBL understands 
                         that it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such exemption 
                         would not be present if its representation merely meant that its present intention 
                         was to hold such securities for a short period, such as the capital gains period 
                         of tax statutes, for a deferred sale, or for any other reason or fixed period.

 

-5-

 

               5.6     No Public Market. SBL understands that there is no public market for the New 
                         Series of Preferred. SBL understands that although there is presently a public 
                         market for the Company's Common Stock, including the Conversion Shares, 
                         Rule 144 (the "Rule") promulgated under the Securities Act requires, among other
                         conditions, a one-year holding period following full payment of the consideration 
                         therefor prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a nonpublic 
                         offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities 
                         Act. SBL understands that the Company makes no representation or warranty 
                         regarding its fulfillment in the future of any reporting requirements under the 
                         Exchange Act, or its dissemination to the public of any current financial or other 
                         information concerning the Company, as is required by the Rule as one of the 
                         conditions of its availability. SBL understands and hereby acknowledges that the 
                         Company is under no obligation to register the New Series of Preferred or the 
                         Conversion Shares under the Securities Act.

               5.7     Sophisticated Investor. That (a) SBL has adequate means of providing for its 
                         current financial needs and possible contingencies; (b) SBL is able to bear the 
                         economic risks inherent in an investment in the New Series of Preferred and that an
                         important consideration bearing on its ability to bear the economic risk is whether 
                         SBL can afford a complete loss of its investment in the New Series of Preferred 
                         and SBL represents and warrants that SBL can afford such a complete loss; and 
                         (c) SBL has such knowledge and experience in business, financial, investment 
                          and banking matters (including, but not limited to, investments in restricted, non-
                          listed and non-registered securities) that SBL is capable of evaluating the merits, 
                          risks and advisability of an investment in the New Series of Preferred.

               5.8    Tax Consequences. SBL acknowledges that the Company has made no 
                        representation regarding the potential or actual tax consequences for SBL which 
                        will result from entering into the Agreement and from consummation of the 
                        transaction contemplated hereunder. SBL acknowledges that it bears complete 
                        responsibility for obtaining adequate tax advice regarding this Agreement.

               5.9    SEC Filing. SBL acknowledges that it and its equity owners have been previously 
                        furnished with true and complete copies of the following documents which have 
                        been filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 14(a), 14(c) or 15(d) of the 
                        Exchange Act.

                                (i)  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 
                                (the "Form 10-K"); (ii) Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed during 2001; 
                                (iii) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 

 

-6-

 

                                and June 30, 2001; (iv) the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2001 
                                Annual Meeting of Shareholders; and (v) the information contained in any 
                                reports or documents required to be filed by the Company under Sections 
                                13(a), 14(a), 14(c) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the distribution of 
                                the Form 10-K.

                5.10    Documents, Information and Access. SBL's decision to acquire the New 
                           Series of Preferred in payment of $1,000, 000 of the Prime Note is not based 
                           on any promotional, marketing or sales materials, and SBL and its representatives 
                           have been afforded, prior to purchase thereof, the opportunity to ask questions 
                           of, and to receive answers from, the Company and its management, and has had 
                           access to all documents and information which SBL deems material to an 
                           investment decision with respect to the purchase of New Series of Preferred 
                           hereunder.

               5.11    No Registration, Review or Approval. SBL acknowledges and understands 
                          that the private offering and sale of securities pursuant to this Agreement has not 
                          been reviewed or approved by the SEC or by any state securities commission, 
                          authority or agency, and is not registered under the Securities Laws. SBL 
                          acknowledges, understands and agrees that the shares of New Series of 
                          Preferred are being offered and exchanged hereunder pursuant to (x) a private 
                          placement exemption to the registration provisions of the Securities Act 
                          pursuant to Section 4(2) of such Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated 
                          under the Securities Act and (y) a similar exemption to the registration 
                          provisions of applicable state securities law.

               5.12    Transfer Restrictions. SBL will not transfer any New Series of Preferred 
                          purchased until this Agreement or any Conversion Shares required unless such 
                          are registered under the Securities Laws, or unless an exemption is available 
                          under such Securities Laws, and the Company may, if it chooses, where an 
                          exemption from registration is claimed by such Subscriber, condition any 
                          transfer of New Series of Preferred or Conversion Shares out of SBL's name 
                          on receipt of an opinion of the Company's counsel, to the effect that the 
                          proposed transfer is being effected in accordance with, and does not violate, 
                          an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Laws, or an 
                          opinion of counsel to SBL, which opinion is satisfactory to the Company, to 
                          the effect that registration under the Securities Act is not required in connection 
                          with such sale or transfer and the reasons therefor.

                5.13   No Commission. SBL agrees and acknowledges that no commissions or other
                          remuneration is being paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting the Exchange.

 

-7-

 

                5.14    Reliance. SBL understands and acknowledges that the Company is relying upon 
                           all of the representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, acknowledgments 
                           and agreements contained in this Agreement in determining whether to accept this
                           subscription and to issue the New Series of Preferred to SBL.

                5.15    Accuracy or Representations and Warrants. All of the representations, 
                           warranties, understandings and acknowledgments that SBL has made herein are 
                           true and correct in all material respects as of the date of execution hereof. SBL 
                           will perform and comply fully in all material respects with all covenants and 
                           agreements set forth herein, and SBL covenants and agrees that until the acceptance 
                           of this Agreement by the Company, SBL shall inform the Company immediately 
                           in writing of any changes in any of the representations or warranties provided or 
                           contained herein.

                5.16    Indemnity. SBL hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company,
                           Prime and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any demands, 
                           claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, liabilities, losses, costs, damages,
                           penalties, charges, fines or expenses (including, without limitation, interest, and attorney
                           and accountants' fees, disbursements and expenses), arising out of or relating to or in
                           connection with (i) any breach by SBL of any representation, warranty, covenant or
                           agreement made by SBL in this Agreement or (ii) the $1,000,000 of the Prime Note

                           Act or any applicable state securities or blue sky laws (collectively, the "Securities 
                           Laws"). Such right to indemnification shall be in addition to any and all other rights 
                           of the Company or Prime under this Agreement or otherwise, at law or in equity.

               5.17    Survival. SBL expressly acknowledges and agrees that all of its representations,
                          warranties, agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be of the 
                          essence hereof and shall survive the execution, delivery and Closing of this

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
OF
LSB INDUSTRIES, INC.

          LSB Industries, Inc. (the "Corporation" or "LSB"), a corporation organized and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law, hereby certifies pursuant to Section 151(g) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, that the following resolutions relating to the issuance of a new series of Class C Preferred Stock, no par value, of the Corporation consisting of 1,000,000 shares were duly adopted by a Special Committee of the members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at a meeting held on October 9, 2001, pursuant to resolutions of the whole Board of Directors of the Corporation.

               RESOLVED, that pursuant to authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board 
               of Directors of LSB Industries, Inc. ("LSB" or the "Corporation") by the provisions 
               of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of LSB, the Board of Directors of LSB 
               does hereby create, and LSB may issue, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, 
               dated October 18, 2001, between LSB, Prime Financial Corporation, an Oklahoma 
               corporation ("Prime") and a wholly owned subsidiary of LSB, and Stillwater National 
               Bank and Trust Company ("Stillwater Bank") (the "Agreement"), from LSB's Class 
               C Preferred Stock, no par value, a new series consisting of 1,000,000 shares 
               designated as "Series D 6% Cumulative, Convertible Class C Preferred Stock," 
               no par value, and hereby fixes the designations, preferences, rights and privileges of 
               such Series D 6% Cumulative, Convertible Class C Preferred Stock and the 
               qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as follows:

               1.     Designation. The shares of this series of Class C Preferred Stock shall be 
               designated as "Series D 6% Cumulative, Convertible Class C Preferred Stock" 
               (hereinafter called "Series D Preferred Stock"), having no par value, with said 
               Series D Preferred Stock to consist of one million (1,000,000) shares.

               2.     Dividends; Cumulative. The holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock 
               shall be entitled to receive cash dividends, but only when, as and if declared by the 
               Board of Directors of LSB, in a manner as permitted by law, at the rate of six percent

               (6%) per annum of the Liquidation Preference (as defined below) of such Series D 
               Preferred Stock and no more, payable annually on such date in each year as shall be 
               fixed by the Board of Directors of LSB ("Cash Dividends").

                    If Cash Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock for any year shall not have been 
               paid or set apart in full for the Series D Preferred Stock, the aggregate deficiency shall be
               cumulative and shall be paid or set apart for payment before any dividends shall be paid 
               upon or set apart for payment for any class of common stock of LSB (other than a 
               dividend payable in common stock of LSB).

                    Any accumulation of dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock shall not bear interest. 
               The holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends 
               thereon other than the dividends provided for in this paragraph 2.

                     Cash Dividends on Series D Preferred Stock shall be declared if, when and as the 
               Board of Directors shall in their sole discretion deem advisable, and only from the net 
               profits or surplus of the Corporation, in a manner as permitted by law as such shall be fixed 
               and determined by the said Board of Directors. The determination of the Board of Directors 
               at any time of the amount of net profits or surplus available for a Cash Dividend shall be 
               binding and conclusive on the holders of all the Series D Preferred Stock of the 
               Corporation at the time outstanding.

                     Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of this Section 2, when dividends 
               are not paid in full upon the shares of this Series D Preferred Stock and any other preferred 
               stock of LSB ranking on a parity as to dividends with this Series D Preferred Stock, all 
               dividends declared upon shares of this Series D Preferred Stock and any other preferred 
               stock of LSB ranking on a parity as to dividends with Series D Preferred Stock shall be 
               declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on this Series D 
               Preferred Stock and such other preferred stock shall in all cases bear to each other the 
               same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the shares of this Series D Preferred Stock 
               and such other preferred stock bear to each other; provided, however, that dividends 
               on preferred stock that provides for non-cumulative dividends shall be entitled to 
               participate, and shall rank on a parity, to the extent of dividends due in the then current 
               period for which such dividends are paid. Holders of share of Series D Preferred 
               

 

-2-

 

               Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or 
               stock, in excess of the full cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on this Series 
               D Preferred Stock. No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be 
               payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on this Series D 
               Preferred Stock which may be in arrears.

                    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any dividend on LSB's 
               then outstanding $3.25 Convertible Exchangeable Class C Preferred Stock, Series 2 
               ($3.25 Preferred") shall be in default, in whole or in part, then no dividend shall be paid 
               or declared and set apart for payment on the Series D Preferred Stock unless and until all
               cumulative accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to such $3.25 Preferred shall have 
               been paid or declared and set apart for payment.

               3.     No Preemptive Rights. No holder of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have any 
               preemptive rights. No holder of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to purchase 
               or subscribe for any part of the unissued stock of LSB or of any stock of LSB to be issued 
               by reason of any increase of the authorized capital stock of LSB, or to purchase or 
               subscribe for any bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures or other securities 
               convertible into or carrying options or warrants to purchase stock or other securities 
               of LSB or to purchase or subscribe for any stock of LSB purchased by LSB or by its 
               nominee or nominees, or to have any other preemptive rights now or hereafter defined 
               by the laws of the State of Delaware.

               4.     Preference on Liquidation, etc. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
               dissolution or winding up of LSB, or any reduction in its capital resulting in any distribution 
               of assets to its stockholders, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled
               to receive in cash out of the assets of LSB, whether from capital or from earnings, available 
               for distribution to its stockholders, before any amount shall be paid to the holders of the 
               common stock of LSB, the sum of One and No/100 Dollar ($1.00), per share ("Liquidation 
               Preference"), plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid Cash Dividends thereon as 
               of the date fixed for payment of such distributive amount. The purchase or redemption by 
               LSB of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not for the purpose of this
               paragraph be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of LSB or as a reduction of 
               its capital. Neither the consolidation nor merger of LSB with or into any other corporation or

 

-3-

 

               corporations, nor the sale or transfer by LSB of all or any part of its assets, shall be deemed 
               to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of LSB for the purpose of this paragraph. A 
               dividend or distribution to stockholders from net profits or surplus earned after the date of 
               any reduction of capital shall not be deemed to be a distribution resulting from such 
               reduction in capital. No holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive or
               participate in any amounts with respect thereto upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding 
               up of LSB other than the amounts provided for in this paragraph. If, in the event of any 
               such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of LSB, there shall be shares of more than one 
               class or series of preferred stock outstanding, and such other class or classes or series of 
               preferred stock by their terms have a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock, and in such 
               event there shall be assets distributable upon all shares of the Series D Preferred Stock 
               and of such other classes or series of preferred stock in an amount less than the amount 
               of which the holders thereof are entitled, then any amount available to be paid upon all 
               such shares of preferred stock (including the Series D Preferred Stock) shall be divided 
               among said classes or series of preferred stock in proportion to the aggregate amounts 
               which would have been paid to the holders of the shares of each class or series had they 
               received payment in the full amount to which they would be entitled in such event.

               5.  Voting Rights. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 5, at every meeting of 
               stockholders of LSB each holder of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one 
               (1) vote for each share of Series D Preferred Stock held of record in his, her or its name 
               on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of LSB. The Series D Preferred 
               Stock, the Common Stock (as defined below) of LSB, LSB's Series B 12% Cumulative,
               Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $100.00 per share, and LSB's Series of Convertible
               Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $100.00 per share, shall vote together as 
               one class.

               6.  Conversion Privileges. Subject to the terms of this paragraph 6, the holder of record 
               of any share or shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time, at his, 
               her or its option and election, to convert four (4) shares of Series D Preferred Stock 
               into one (1) share of LSB common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Common 
               Stock"), (equivalent to a conversion price of $4.00 per share of LSB Common Stock) 
               on the following terms and conditions:

 

-4-

 

                    (a)     LSB shall at the time of such conversion pay to the holder of record of any share 
             or shares of Series D Preferred Stock any accrued but unpaid dividends on said Series D 
             Preferred Stock so surrendered for conversion, except: (i) as otherwise limited by law or 
             by any agreement or instrument to which LSB is a party or may be bound by (including, but 
             not limited to, this Certificate of Designations), and (ii) that the amount of the dividend paid 
             for the then current annual dividend period in which such conversion occurs shall be pro-
             rated for that portion of such year that has elapsed prior to the time the holder of such 
             share or shares of Series D Preferred Stock exercises his, her or its rights of conversion. If 
             LSB is limited by law from paying such accrued but unpaid dividends, in whole or in part, 
             on the share or shares of Series D Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion at the time 
             such are surrendered for conversion, then LSB shall only be required to pay that amount 
             of such accrued but unpaid dividends as allowed by such law at the time of such conversion 
             and no more. If LSB is limited under any agreement (including, but not limited to, this 
             Certificate of Designations) from paying such accrued but unpaid dividends, in whole or in 
             part, on the share or shares of Series D Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion at the 
             time such are surrendered for conversion, then LSB shall pay to the holder of record thereof 
             that portion of such accrued but unpaid dividends that LSB is unable to pay on such share 
             or shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the time such are surrendered for conversion due 
             to said agreement ("Unpaid Dividends") when LSB is no longer prohibited from paying such 
             Unpaid Dividends under an agreement and prior to any dividends being paid upon or set 
             apart for payment for any class of Common Stock of LSB (other than a dividend payable 
             in Common Stock of LSB); and in connection therewith, LSB and such holder shall, at 
             the time of such conversion, enter into a separate contract, the terms of which are to be 
             satisfactory to LSB and such holder, evidencing LSB's obligation to pay to the holder 
             thereof the Unpaid Dividends (without interest) after such conversion when LSB is no 
             longer prohibited from paying such under an agreement and prior to any dividends 
             being paid upon or set apart for payment for any class of Common Stock of LSB (other 
             than a dividend payable in Common Stock of LSB).

                  (b)     In the event that LSB shall (i) pay to the holders of its Common Stock a stock 
             dividend payable in its Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable 
             upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be proportionately adjusted, effective 
             as of the date of payment of such stock dividend; or (ii) have a stock split, reclassification,

 

-5-

 

             recapitalization, combination of outstanding shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other 
             than a stock dividend which is provided for in (i) above), without any consideration therefor 
             being received by LSB, increasing or decreasing the number of shares of LSB's Common 
             Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D 
             Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased or decreased, effective as of the date of 
             the payment of or happening of such event; or (iii) be consolidated with or merge into 
             another corporation, in which LSB is the non-surviving corporation, or sell all or 
             substantially all of LSB's assets as an entirety under one plan or arrangement to another 
             corporation and such consolidation, merger or sale shall be effected in such a way that 
             holders of LSB's Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets 
             with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then after the effective date 
             of such consolidation, merger or sale each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall 
             be convertible into (in lieu of LSB Common Stock) the number of shares of stock 
             or other securities or assets to which such holder of the Series D Preferred Stock 
             would have been entitled to upon such consummation as if the holder of the Series D 
             Preferred Stock had so exercised his, her or its right of conversion under such Series 
             D Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale, and LSB 
             shall make lawful provision therefor as part of such consolidation, merger or sale.

                  (c)     LSB shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon 
             any conversion, but (i) may deliver scrip therefor, which shall not entitle the bearer thereof 
             to vote, or to receive dividends or to any other or further right or interest, except to 
             convert the same in amounts aggregating one or more whole shares of LSB Common 
             Stock at any time within a period, fixed by the Board of Directors of LSB, which shall 
             be stated in the scrip, or (ii) may pay in cash therefor an amount equal to the same fraction 
             of the fair market value of a full share of LSB Common Stock. For such purpose of 
             determining the fair market value of LSB Common Stock, the fair market value of a share 
             of LSB Common Stock, shall be the last recorded sale price of such a share of LSB 
             Common Stock on a national securities exchange on the day immediately preceding the 
             date upon which such Series D Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion or, if there 
             be no recorded sale price on such day, the last quoted bid price per share of LSB 
             Common Stock on such exchange at the close of trading on such date. If LSB Common 
             Stock shall not be at the time dealt in on a national security exchange, such fair market 
 

-6-

 

             value of LSB Common Stock shall be the prevailing market value of such Common Stock 
             on any other securities exchange or in the open market, as determined by LSB, which 
             determination shall be conclusive.

                  (d)     Any holder of a share or shares of Series D Preferred Stock desiring to convert 
            such Series D Preferred Stock into Common Stock of LSB shall surrender the certificate or
            certificate representing the share or shares of Series D Preferred Stock so to be converted, 
            duly endorsed to LSB in blank, with the signature of said endorsement guaranteed by a 
            national bank or investment banking firm, at the principal office of LSB (or such other place 
            as may be designated by LSB), and shall give written notice to LSB at said office that he 
            elects to convert the same, and setting forth the name or names (with the address or 
            addresses) in which the shares of Common Stock are to be issued.

                 (e)     The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the 
           Series D Preferred Stock shall be made without charge for tax in respect of such issuance; 
           however, if any certificate is to be issued in any name other than that of the holder of record 
           of the Series D Preferred Stock so converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance 
           thereof shall pay to LSB the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any 
           transfer involved in such issuance, or shall establish to the satisfaction of LSB that such tax 
           has been paid or is not due and payable.

           7.    Redemption. There shall be no mandatory or optional redemption rights with respect to 
           the Series D Preferred Stock.

           8.    Status of Reacquired Shares. Shares of the Series D Preferred Stock which have been 
           issued and reacquired in any manner (until LSB elects to retire them) shall (upon compliance 
           with any applicable provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware) have the status of 
           authorized and unissued shares of the class of Class C Preferred Stock of LSB undesignated 
           as to series and may be redesignated and reissued.

           9.    Priority.  (a) For purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or series of LSB 
           shall be deemed to rank:

                        (i)  Prior or senior to the shares of this Series D Preferred Stock either as to 
                  dividends or upon liquidation, if the holders of such class or classes shall be entitled 

 

-7-

 

                  to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or 
                  winding up of LSB, whether voluntary or involuntary, as the case may be, in preference 
                  or priority to the holders of shares of this Series D Preferred Stock;

                        (ii)  On a parity with or equal to shares of this Series D Preferred Stock, either as to
                  dividends or upon liquidation, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates 
                  or redemption or liquidation prices per share or sinking fund provisions, if any, are 
                  different from those of this Series D Preferred Stock, if the holders of such stock are 
                  entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon dissolution, 
                  liquidation or winding up of LSB, whether voluntary or involuntary, in proportion to 
                  their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority, one 
                  over the other, as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of this 
                  Series D Preferred Stock; and

                        (iii)  Junior to shares of this Series D Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon
                  liquidation, if such class or series shall be Common Stock or if the holders of shares of 
                  this Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts 
                  distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or involuntary, as the case may be, in 
                  preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series.

          10.    Miscellaneous. The shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be subject to the 
          operation of or to the benefit of any retirement or sinking fund. The shares of the Series D 
          Preferred Stock shall not have any other relative, participating, optional or other rights and 
          powers not set forth above.

This Note amends and restates that certain Promissory Note dated 03/05/98 in the principal amount of $3,000,000.00 made by Debtor in favor of Lender which is superseded herein.

PROMISE TO PAY. For value received, the undersigned Debtor, whether one or more, and jointly and severally if more than one, agrees to the terms of this Note and promises to pay to the order of the Lender named below at its place of business as indicated in this Note or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the Lender, the Principal Amount of this Note together with interest on the unpaid Principal Amount until Maturity at the per annum interest rate or rates stated above and according to the Payment Terms stated in this Note. Interest on this Note is calculated on the actual number of days elapsed on a basis of a 360 day year unless otherwise indicated above. For purposes of computing interest and determining the date principal and interest payments are received, all payments will be deemed made only when received in collected funds. Payments are applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and other charges, and then to unpaid Principal Amount. In this Note, "Debtor" includes any party liable under this Note, including endorsers, co-makers, guarantors and otherwise, and "Lender" includes all subsequent holders.

VARIABLE RATE. If this is a Variable Rate transaction as indicated above, the interest rate shall vary from time to time with changes (whether increases or decreases) in the Index Rate shown above. The interest rate on this Note will be the Index Rate plus a Margin, if any, as indicated above. Each change will become effective on the same date the Index Rate changes unless a different effective date is indicated above. If the Index Rate is Lender's base or prime rate, it is determined by Lender in its sole discretion, primarily on a basis of its cost of funds, is not necessarily the lowest rate Lender is charging its customers, and is not necessarily a published rate.

PAYMENTS NOT MADE WHEN DUE. Any principal and/or interest amount not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate of 6 percent per annum greater than the per annum interest rate prevailing on this Note at the time the unpaid amount came due, but in no event at a rate less than 15 percent per annum. In addition or in the alternative to the interest rate provided for in this paragraph Lender may assess a charge of $10.00 times the number of days late to cover cost of past due notices and other added expenses. In no event shall the interest rate and related charges either before or after maturity be greater than permitted by law.

ALL PARTIES PRINCIPALS. All Debtors shall each be regarded as a principal and each Debtor agrees that any party to this Note, with Lender's approval and without notice to any other party, may from time to time renew this Note or consent to one or more extensions or deferrals of the Maturity Date for any term(s) or to any other modification(s), and all Debtors shall be liable in same manner as on the original note.

ADVANCES AND PAYMENTS. It is agreed that the sum of all advances under this Note may exceed the Principal Amount as shown above, but the unpaid balance shall never exceed said Principal Amount. Advances and payments on this Note shall be recorded on records of Lender and such records shall be prima facie evidence of such advances, payments and unpaid principal balance. Subsequent advances and the procedures described in this Note shall not be construed or interpreted as granting a continuing line of credit for Principal Amount. Lender reserves the right to apply any payment by Debtor, or for account of Debtor, toward this Note or any other obligation of Debtor to Lender.

PREPAYMENT. Except as otherwise provided in this Note, Debtor shall have the right to prepay all or any part of principal due under this Note at any time without penalty, subject to the following conditions: (a) all interest must be paid through the date of any prepayment; and (b) if this Note provides for monthly or other periodic payments, there will be no changes in the due dates or amounts following any partial prepayment unless Lender agrees to such changes in writing.

COLLATERAL. This Note and all other obligations of Debtor to Lender, including renewals and extensions, are secured by all collateral securing this Note and by all other security interests and mortgages previously or later granted to Lender and by all money, deposits and other property owned by any debtor and in Lender's possession or control.

ACCELERATION. At option of Lender, the unpaid balance of this Note and all other obligations of Debtor to Lender, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now existing or later arising, shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand, upon or after the occurrence or existence of any of the following events or conditions: (a) any payment required by this Note or by any other note or obligation of Debtor to Lender or to others is not made when due, or any event or condition occurs or exists which results in acceleration of the maturity of any loan agreement or in any instrument or document securing or relating to this Note or any other note or obligation of Debtor to Lender or to others; (c) any warranty, representation, financial information or statement made or furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Debtor proves to have been false in any material respect when made or furnished; (d) any levy, seizure, garnishment or attachment is made against any asset of any Debtor; (e) Lender determines, at any time and in Lender's sole discretion, that the prospect of payment of this Note is impaired; (f) whenever, in Lender's sole judgment, the collateral for the debt evidenced by this Note becomes unsatisfactory or insufficient either in character or value and, upon request, Debtor fails to provide additional collateral as required by Lender; (g) all or any part of the collateral for the debt evidenced by this Note is lost, stolen, substantially damaged or destroyed; (h) death, incompetency, dissolution, change in ownership or senior management, or termination of existence of any Debtor; or (i) a receiver is appointed over all or any part of Debtor's property, or any Debtor makes an assignment to the benefit of creditors, files for relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or becomes subject to any involuntary proceeding under such laws.

RIGHT OF OFFSET. Except as otherwise restricted by law, any indebtedness due from Lender to Debtor, including, without limitation, any deposits or credit balances due from Lender, is pledged to secure payment of this Note and any other obligation to Lender of Debtor, and may at any time when the whole or any part of such obligation(s) remain(s) unpaid, either before or after Maturity of this Note, be set off, appropriated, held or applied toward the payment of this Note or any other obligation to Lender by any Debtor.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. (1) Debtor agrees, if requested, to furnish to Lender copies of income tax returns as well as balance sheets and income statements for each fiscal year following the Date of Note and at more frequent intervals as Lender may require. (2) No waiver by Lender of any payment or other right under this Note or any related agreement or documentation shall operate as a waiver of any other payment or right. All Debtors waive presentment, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor and protest and consent to substitutions, releases and failure to perfect as to collateral and to additions or releases of any Debtor. (3)This Note and the obligations evidenced by it are to be construed and governed by the laws of the state indicated in Lender's address shown in this Note. (4) All Debtors agree to pay costs of collection, including, as allowed by law, an attorney's fee equal to a minimum of 15% of all sums due upon default or such other maximum fee as allowed by law. (5) All parties signing below acknowledge receiving a completed copy of this Note and related documents, which contain the complete and entire agreement between Lender and any party liable for payment under this Note. No variation, condition, modification, change or amendment to this Note or related documents shall be binding unless in writing and signed by all parties. No legal relationship is created by the execution of this Note and related documents except that of debtor and creditor or as stated in writing.

          WHEREAS, the Guarantor has guaranteed payment of the Notes by previously executing and delivering to the Lender for each Loan a certain Guaranty Agreement dated April 21, 2000 (the "Prior Guaranties"); and

AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT
F:\Docs\1470\2011\HL02921.WPD
        

 

          WHEREAS, this Agreement is executed by the Guarantor and delivered to the Lender to induce the Lender to make the Loans and in satisfaction of a material condition precedent to the Loans and to amend and restate the Prior Guaranties.

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Loans by the Lender to the Borrowers and the benefits to be derived by the Guarantor therefrom, it is agreed as follows:

          1.     Definition of Loan Documents. For purposes of this Agreement, "Loan Documents" will mean this Agreement, the Notes and all other instruments executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any other person or entity in connection with the Loans, all instruments issued pursuant to the foregoing documents and all extensions, renewals, modifications and amendments thereof.

          2.     Guaranty. The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Lender the payment of the obligations of the Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents including, without implied limitation, the payment of all principal, interest, attorneys' fees, expenses of collection and other sums now or hereafter owing by the Borrowers to the Lender thereunder. The obligation of the Guarantor hereunder is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and will not terminate until the Borrowers have paid in full all amounts owing to the Lender under the Loan Documents and have performed all of the Borrowers' obligations under the Loan Documents.

         3.     No Release. The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantor's liability hereunder will not be released, reduced, impaired or affected by the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (a) the Lender obtaining collateral from the Borrowers or any other person to secure payment or performance under the Loan Documents; (b) the assumption of liability by any other person (whether as guarantor or otherwise) for payment or performance under the Loan Documents; (c) the release, surrender, exchange, loss, termination, waiver or other discharge of any collateral securing payment or performance under the Loan Documents; (d) the subordination, relinquishment or discharge of the Lender's rights relating to the Loan Documents or any collateral described therein; (e) the dissolution, insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers, any other guarantor of any obligation of the Borrowers to the Lender or any other person now or hereafter liable for payment or performance under the Loan Documents; (f) the increase, renewal, consolidation, extension, modification, rearrangement or amendment from time to time of the Loans or of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (g) the sale, encumbrance, transfer or other modification of the ownership of the Borrowers or the Borrowers' assets or the change in the financial condition or management of the Borrowers; (h) the invalidity, unenforceability or insufficiency of any one or more of the Loan Documents or any collateral securing payment or performance thereunder; or (i) the release of any person from any personal liability with respect to all or part of the guaranteed obligations.

          4.     Enforcement. The Lender will not be required to pursue the Lender's remedies against the Borrowers or any other guarantor of the Loans prior to exercising the Lender's remedies under this Agreement.

AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT
F:\Docs\1470\2011\HL02921.WPD
        

-2-

 

          5.      Waiver of Rights. The Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceptance of this Agreement and all other notices of any nature except as provided in the Loan Documents or this Agreement. Performance by the Guarantor hereunder will not entitle the Guarantor to any payment by the Borrowers or any other guarantor of the obligations of the Borrowers whether under the Loan Documents or otherwise by reason of any claim for contribution, indemnification, reimbursement, subrogation or otherwise, until such time as the Borrowers and any other guarantor of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents have paid in full all amounts owing to the Lender and have performed all of the Borrowers' obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity against the Borrowers in connection with this Agreement (but not against any other party) until such time as the obligations of the Borrowers under the Notes or the Loan Documents have been paid in full.

           6.      Expenses of Collection. The Guarantor agrees that in any action brought to enforce this Agreement, the Guarantor will pay to the Lender the reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and other litigation expenses incurred by the Lender.

           7.      Cumulative Remedies. On the occurrence of any event of default under the Loan Documents or this Agreement, the Lender will be entitled to selectively and successively enforce any one or more of the rights held by the Lender, and such action will not be deemed a waiver of any other right held by the Lender. Except as provided herein or in the Loan Documents, all of the remedies of the Lender under this Agreement and the Loan Documents are cumulative and not alternative.

          8.      Miscellaneous. This Agreement has been negotiated, executed and delivered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, and is intended to be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma. All actions relating to or arising under this Agreement, whether filed by the Lender or the Guarantor, will be instituted only in a state court sitting in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, or a federal court sitting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or application for any reason, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions herein contained and such other provisions will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement cannot be amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the Guarantor and the Lender.

           9.      Reinstatement.  The obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement will be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers in respect of all or any part of the guaranteed obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of such guaranteed obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that the Guarantor will indemnify the Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration.

           10.    Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the liability of the Guarantor hereunder will not exceed Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00).

           WHEREAS, the Debtor has agreed to secure payment of the Notes and other indebtedness described herein by granting the Secured Party a security interest covering certain assets of the Debtor.

           NOW, THEREFORE, (i) for and in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein contained; and (ii) for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of all of which are hereby acknowledged, the Debtor hereby agrees with the Secured Party as follows:

          1.     Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used herein which are defined in the Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC") will have the same meanings herein unless the context otherwise requires. The documents contemplated in this Agreement and the Notes are collectively referred to herein as the "Loan Documents."

          2.     Security Interest. The Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party a first and prior security interest in, an assignment of, a general lien upon and a right of set-off against the following described property (the "Collateral"): (a) one million (1,000,000) shares of preferred stock, designated as Series D 6% Cumulative, Convertible Class C Preferred Stock (the "Stock"), of LSB Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("LSB"), owned by the Debtor and represented by LSB Certificate No. 1, together with all additions and substitutions of shares of the Stock or certificates, together with all of the Debtor's interest and rights in the Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, all cash and stock dividends attributable to the Stock, all increases relating to the Stock as a result of stock splits, mergers or any other reorganization, all monies and claims for monies due and to become due to the Debtor as dividends or arising under accounts, contracts, agreements and general intangibles relating to the Stock and all proceeds and products thereof; and (b) all of the Debtor's right, title and interest in and to that certain Promissory Note dated October 18, 2001, executed by Prime Financial Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation ("PFC"), in the original principal amount of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00) (the "PFC Note"), and all additions and accessions to, replacements of, substitutions for, payments thereon and proceeds therefrom. This Agreement is intended for security only and is to secure the obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Secured Party as herein described. It is understood that the Secured Party does not hereby assume any of the obligations of the Debtor in connection with the Collateral.

                2.1     Voting Rights. Absent an event of default (hereinafter defined in paragraph 6) under 
                          this Agreement or the Loan Documents that has not been cured, the Debtor will 
                          retain all voting rights with respect to the Stock. On or after the occurrence of an 
                          event of default and without further notice to the Debtor, the Secured Party will 
                          have the right to exercise all voting rights, all conversion, exchange, subscription 
                          and other rights pertaining to the Stock, whether or not the Stock has been 
                          registered in the Secured Party's name. The Debtor hereby appoints the Secured 
                          Party as the Debtor's lawful attorney-in-fact and proxy to exercise the foregoing 
                          rights after the occurrence of an event of default. The Debtor agrees that the 
                          foregoing proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

                         secured or hold the same as part of the Collateral under this Agreement.

               2.3     Stock Dividends. In the event any stock dividends are paid on the Stock, or if any 
                         stock or other securities are delivered to the Debtor in connection with any stock 
                         split, merger or reorganization affecting the Stock, the Debtor will immediately 
                         deliver to the Secured Party the certificates representing such stock dividends, 
                         other stock or securities, together with executed endorsements or appropriate 
                         powers. Any such stock dividend, other stock or securities will be held by the 
                         Secured Party as part of the Collateral under the terms of this Agreement, provided

                  4.1     Possession of Collateral. The Debtor agrees to deliver the Collateral to the Secured 
                            Party, appropriately endorsed to the Secured Party or with stock powers in form 
                            and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party in favor of the Secured Party. The 
                            Debtor will provide the name and address of the stock transfer agent to the Secured
                            Party. Regardless of the form of any endorsement to the Secured Party, the Debtor
                            waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest and all 
                            other notices with respect thereto.

                4.2      Additional Documents. The Debtor agrees to execute and deliver any documents 
                           which are necessary in the judgment of the Secured Party to obtain, maintain and 
                           perfect a security interest under this Agreement and to enable the Secured Party to 
                           comply with any federal or state law to obtain or perfect the Secured Party's security
                           interest in the Collateral.

                         pledge, security interest, encumbrance or other lien (including the lien of an 
                         attachment, judgment or execution) affecting any or all of the Collateral, 
                         excluding only liens held by the Secured Party.

          5.     Debtor's Representations and Covenants. The Debtor hereby warrants, represents and agrees as follows:

                5.1     PFC Note. The unpaid principal balance of the PFC Note plus all accrued unpaid 
                          interest as of the effective date of this Agreement is $____________________.

                5.2     Principal Place of Business. The Debtor's principal place of business is in the State 
                          of Oklahoma.

               5.3      Title. The Debtor has absolute title to the Collateral free and clear of all liens,
                          encumbrances and security interests except for the security interest hereby granted to 
                          the Secured Party and such other rights, if any, of the Secured Party, and the Debtor
                          warrants and will defend the same unto the Secured Party against the claims and 
                          demands of all persons and parties whomsoever. The Debtor is not in default in the
                          performance of any obligation or the payment of any sum owing with respect to the
                          Collateral. On or after the occurrence of an uncured event of default, the Debtor will 
                          take all steps necessary to cause or permit the Secured Party to cause the Stock to 
                          be registered in the name of the Secured Party and new share certificates to be issued.

          6.     Default. The occurrence of default under the Loan Documents will constitute a default by the Debtor under this Agreement.

          7.     Remedies. On the occurrence of an event of default that has not been cured, the Secured Party may take the following actions:

                7.1     Remedy.  The Secured Party may (a) exercise in respect of the Collateral or any 
                          portion thereof all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, 
                          or (b) at any time and from time to time sell, resell, assign and deliver, in the 
                          Secured Party's discretion, all or any part of the Collateral, in one or more 
                          parcels at the same or different times, and all right, title and interest, claim and 
                          demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale on 
                          commercially reasonable terms. In connection therewith, the Secured Party 
                          may bid on such Collateral for its own account and the Debtor hereby waives 
                          and releases any and all equity or right of redemption. To effect any sale, 
                          transfer or other disposal of any of the Collateral, the Secured Party has the 
                          right, for and in the name, place and stead of the Debtor, to execute 
                          endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer 
                          with respect to all or any of the Collateral.

                7.2     Sale Procedure.  Except as expressly provided for herein, no demand or 
                          advertisement, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Debtor, will be 
                          required in connection with any sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral 
                          which threatens to decline speedily in value or which is of a type customarily sold 
                          on a recognized market. In all other events, the Secured Party will give the Debtor, 
                          at least ten (10) days prior notice of the time and place of any public sale and of 
                          the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which 
                          notice the Debtor agrees is reasonable, all other demands and advertisements 
                          being hereby waived. The Secured Party will not be obligated to make any sale 
                          of Collateral, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given. The 
                          Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be 
                          adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, 
                          and such sale may be made at the time and place to which the same was so 
                          adjourned. Upon each public or private sale of Collateral, the Secured Party or 
                          any holder of the Notes, or any of their respective affiliates, may purchase all or 
                          any of the Collateral being sold, free from any equity or right of redemption, 
                          which is hereby waived and released by the Debtor, and may make payment 
                          therefor in cash or, at the Secured Party's or such holder's option (by 
                          endorsement without recourse), by tendering or releasing principal or accrued 
                          and unpaid interest on the Notes, in lieu of cash, in a face amount equal to the 
                          amount of the purchase price. The Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable costs and 
                          expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including brokers' and attorneys' fees, 
                          and after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, the 
                          Secured Party will apply any residue to the payment of the obligations under the 
                          Notes and the Debtor will continue to be liable for any deficiency in accordance 
                          with the Loan Documents. The balance, if any, remaining after payment in full 
                          of all of the obligations under the Notes will be paid to the Borrowers.

               7.3     Private Sales.  Other than may be provided by law, the Debtor will not be required to 
                         file a registration statement or otherwise register the Collateral under the Securities 
                         Act of 1933 or any state securities or blue sky laws. The Debtor recognizes that the
                         Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral by 
                         reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as 
                         now or hereafter in effect, or in applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, as 
                         now or hereafter in effect, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private 
                         sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other 
                         things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment and not 
                         with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Debtor agrees that private 
                         sales so made may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the Debtor than 
                         if such Collateral were sold at public sales, and that the Secured Party has no 
                         obligation to delay sale of any such Collateral for the period of time necessary 
                         to permit the issuer of such Collateral, even if such issuer would agree, to register

 

SECURITY AGREEMENT
F:\DOCS\1470\2011\HL02923.WPD

                         such Collateral for public sale under such applicable securities laws. The Debtor 
                         agrees that private sales, absent other adverse circumstances, will not be deemed 
                         to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner. In connection with 
                         the foregoing, the Secured Party may, at the Debtor's expense, consult with 
                         counsel to determine whether a public or private sale of Collateral is necessary 
                         or appropriate.

          8.     Miscellaneous. It is further agreed as follows:

                  8.1     Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each provision of this 
                            Agreement.

                  8.2     Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given by this Agreement will be 
                            deemed to have been given on the date such notice is delivered personally or by
                            telefacsimile to the party designated to receive such notice, on the date sent by 
                            overnight courier or on the date deposited in the United States mail, postage 
                            prepaid, and directed to the notice address specified in the initial paragraph of 
                            this Agreement or otherwise provided to the Secured Party in writing.

                 8.3     Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, 
                           and no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver 
                           thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by the Secured Party of any right 
                           under this Agreement preclude any other or further right of exercise thereof or 
                           the exercise of any other right except as provided in the Loan Documents.

                8.4     Construction. This Agreement is to be construed according to the internal laws of 
                          the State of Oklahoma. All actions with respect to this Agreement may be 
                          instituted in the Courts of the State of Oklahoma or the United States District 
                          Court sitting in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma.

                8.5     Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the provisions hereof can be 
                          changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except by an instrument in writing 
                          signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, 
                          discharge or termination is sought.

                8.6     Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any clause or 
                          provision is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, 
                          the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein 
                          will not be in any way affected or impaired thereby.

                8.7     Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding on the Debtor and the Debtor's 
                          successors and permitted assigns, and will inure to the benefit of the Secured Party 
                          and the Secured Party's successors and assigns.

               8.8     Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing Agreement and the grant of a security 
                         interest hereunder will remain in full force and effect and all the rights, powers and 
                         remedies of the Secured Party hereunder will continue to exist until all of the Secured
                         Indebtedness is paid in full. In such event, the Secured Party will execute a written
                         termination statement, reassign to the Debtor, without recourse, the Collateral and all 
                         rights conveyed hereby and return possession of any Collateral in the Secured Party's
                         possession to the Debtor.

          9.     Restatement. This Agreement amends, restates and replaces in its entirety that certain assignment dated October 16, 1997, executed by the Debtor, pursuant to which the Debtor assigned and transferred to the Secured Party all of the Debtor's right, title and interest in and to that certain Promissory Note dated October 17, 1997, executed by PFC in the original principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), and the terms and provisions hereby will supersede the terms and provisions thereof.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Debtor and the Secured Party have executed and delivered this Agreement effective the date first above written.

In addition to the Note, this Agreement secures all obligations, debts and liabilities, plus interest thereon, of Borrower to Lender, or any one or more of them, as well as all claims by Lender against Borrower or any one or more of them, owed to Lender, whether of a like nature to the Note Indebtedness or not, whether arising from a loan or a purchased obligation, whether incurred for a consumer or a business purpose, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether related or unrelated to the purpose of the Note, whether voluntary or otherwise, whether due or not due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated and whether Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether obligated as guarantor, surety, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether recovery upon such amounts may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether the obligation to repay such amounts may be or hereafter may become otherwise unenforceable.

BORROWER'S WAIVERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Except as otherwise required under this Agreement or by applicable law, (A) Borrower agrees that Lender need not tell Borrower about any action or inaction Lender takes in connection with this Agreement; (B) Borrower assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed about the Collateral; and (C) Borrower waives any defenses that may arise because of any action or inaction of Lender, including without limitation any failure of Lender to realize upon the Collateral or any delay by Lender in realizing upon the Collateral; and Borrower agrees to remain liable under the Note no matter what action Lender takes or fails to take under this Agreement.

GRANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Grantor warrants that: (A) this agreement is executed at Borrower's request and not at the request of Lender; (B) Grantor has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to pledge the Collateral to Lender; (C) Grantor has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower on a continuing basis information about Borrower's financial condition; and (D) Lender has made no representation to Grantor about Borrower or Borrower's creditworthiness.

GRANTOR'S WAIVERS. Grantor waives all requirements of presentment, protest, demand, and notice of dishonor or non-payment to Borrower or Grantor, or any other party to the Indebtedness or the Collateral. Lender may do any of the following with respect to any obligation of any Borrower without first obtaining the consent of Grantor: (A) grant any extension of time for any payment, (B) grant any renewal, (C) permit any modification of payment terms or other terms, or (D) exchange or release any Collateral or other security. No such act or failure to act shall affect Lender's rights against Grantor or the Collateral.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Grantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Grantor holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that:

          Ownership. Grantor is the lawful owner of the Collateral free and clear of all security interests, liens, 
           encumbrances and claims of others except as disclosed to and accepted by Lender in writing prior to 
           execution of this Agreement.

          Right to Pledge. Grantor has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to pledge 
          the Collateral.

          Authority; Binding Effect. Grantor has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and 
          to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Lender. This Agreement is binding upon Grantor as well as 
          Grantor's successors and assigns, and is legally enforceable in accordance with its terms. The foregoing
          representations and warranties, and all other representations and warranties contained in this Agreement 
          are and shall be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as this 
          Agreement is terminated or cancelled as provided herein.

          No Further Assignment. Grantor has not, and shall not, sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose 
          of any of Grantor's rights in the Collateral except as provided in this Agreement.

          No Defaults. There are no defaults existing under the Collateral, and there are no offsets or counterclaims to 
          the same. Grantor will strictly and promptly perform each of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements, 
          if any, contained in the Collateral which are to be performed by Grantor.

          No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate any law or agreement governing 
          Grantor or to which Grantor is a party, and its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws do not prohibit
          any term or condition of this Agreement.

LENDER'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. Lender may hold the Collateral until all Indebtedness has been paid and satisfied. Thereafter Lender may deliver the Collateral to Grantor or to any other owner of the Colalteral. Lender shall have the following rights in addition to all other rights Lender may have by law:

          Maintenance and Protection of Collateral. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, take such steps as it deems
          necessary or desirable to protect, maintain, insure, store, or care for the Collateral, including paying of any liens 
          or claims against the Collateral. This may include such things as hiring other people, such as attorneys, appraisers 
          or other experts. Lender may charge Grantor for any cost incurred in so doing. When applicable law provides 
          more than one method of perfection of Lender's security interest, Lender may choose the method(s) to be used. 
          If the Collateral consists of stock, bonds or other investment property for which no

            certificate has been issued, Grantor agrees, at Lender's request, either to request issuance of an appropriate
            certificate or to give instructions on Lender's forms to the issuer, transfer agent, mutual fund company or broker, 
            as the case may be, to record on its books or records Lender's security interest in the Collateral.

             Income and Proceeds from the Collateral. Lender may receive all income and Proceeds and add it to the 
             Collateral. Grantor agrees to deliver to Lender immediately upon receipt, in the exact form received and without
             commingling with other property, all Income and Proceeds from the Collateral which may be received by, paid, 
             or delivered to Grantor or for Grantor's account, whether as an addition to, in discharge of, in substitution of, 
             or in exchange for any of the Collateral.

             Application of Cash. At Lender's option, Lender may apply any cash, whether included in the Collateral or 
             received as Income and Proceeds or through liquidation, sale, or retirement, of the Collateral, to the satisfaction 
             of the Indebtedness of such portion thereof as Lender shall choose, whether or not matured.

             Transactions with Others. Lender may (1) extend time for payment or other performance, (2) grant a renewal 
             or change in terms or conditions, or (3) compromise, compound or release any obligation, with any one or 
             more Obligors, endorsers, or Guarantors of the Indebtedness as Lender deems advisable, without 
             obtaining the prior written consent of Grantor, and no such act or failure to act shall affect Lender's rights 
             against Grantor or the Collateral.

             All Collateral Secures Indebtedness. All Collateral shall be security for the Indebtedness, whether the 
             Collateral is located at one or more offices or branches of Lender. This will be the case whether or not the 
             office or branch where Grantor obtained Grantor's loan knows about the Collateral or relies upon the Collateral 
             as security. In the event Grantor comes into the possession of any Collateral, Grantor will deliver it immediately 
             to Lender.

             Collection of Collateral. Lender at Lender's option may, but need not, collect the Income and Proceeds directly
              from the Obligors. Grantor authorizes and directs the Obligors, if Lender decides to collect the Income and
              Proceeds, to pay and deliver to Lender all Income and Proceeds from the Collateral and to accept Lender's 
              receipt for the payments.

              Power of Attorney. Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full power of
              substitution, (a) to demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue and recover all Income and Proceeds, and other 
              sums of money and other property which may now or hereafter become due, owing or payable from the 
              Obligors in accordance with the terms of the Collateral; (b) to execute, sign and endorse any and all instruments,
              receipts, checks, drafts, and warrants issued in payment for the Collateral; (c) to settle or compromise any and 
              all claims arising under the Collateral, and in the place and stead of Grantor, execute and deliver Grantor's 
              release and acquittance for Grantor; 9d) to file any claim or claims or to take any action or institute or take part 
              in any proceedings, either in Lender's own name or in the name of Grantor, or otherwise, which in the discretion 
              of Lender may seem to be necessary or advisable; and (e) to execute in Grantor's name and to deliver to the
              Obligors on Grantor's behalf, at the time and in the manner specified by the Collateral, any necessary 
              instruments or documents.

              Perfection of Security Interest. Upon Lender's request, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the 
             documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral. When applicable law provides more than one method of
             perfection of Lender's security interest, Lender may choose the method(s) to be used. Upon Lender's request,
             Grantor will sign and deliver any writings necessary to perfect Lender's security interest. If any of the Collateral
             consists of securities for which no certificate has been issued, Grantor agrees, at Lender's option, either to 
             request issuance of an appropriate certificate or to execute appropriate instructions on Lender's forms 
             instructing the issuer, transfer agent, mutual fund company, or broker, as the case may be, to record on its 
             books or records, by book-entry or otherwise, Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Grantor hereby 
             appoints Lender as Grantor's irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents necessary 
             to perfect or to continue the security interest granted in this Agreement.

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such encumbrances incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note or at the highest rate authorized by law, from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable Insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon Default. If Lender is required by law to give Grantor notice before or after Lender makes an expenditure, Grantor agrees that notice sent by regular mail at least five (5) days before the expenditure is made or notice delivered two (2) days before the expenditure is made is sufficient, and that notice within sixty (60) days after the expenditure is made is reasonable.

LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. Lender shall use ordinary reasonable care in the physical preservation and custody of the Collateral in Lender's possession, but shall have no other obligation to protect the Collateral or its value. In particular, but without limitation, Lender shall have no responsibility for (A) any depreciation in value of the Collateral or for the collection or protection of any Income and Proceeds from the Collateral, (B) preservation of rights against parties to the Collateral or against third persons, (C) ascertaining any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, offers, tenders, or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral, or (D) Informing Grantor about any of the above, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Except as provided above, Lender shall have no liability for depreciation or deterioration of the Collateral.

DEFAULT.   Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

          Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Indebtedness.

          Other Defaults. Borrower or Grantor fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation,

          Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Borrower or any Grantor default under any loan, extension of credit,
          security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person
          that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's or any Grantor's ability to repay the 
          Indebtedness or perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.

          False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or Grantor 
          or on Borrower's or Grantor's behalf under this Agreement, the Note, or the Related Documents is false or 
          misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at 
          any time thereafter.

          Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect
          (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time 
          and for any reason.

          Death or Insolvency. The death of Borrower or Grantor or the dissolution or termination of Borrower's or 
          Grantor's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower or Grantor, the appointment of a receiver for 
          any part of Borrower's or Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor
          workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against 
          Borrower or Grantor.

          Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by 
           judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or Grantor 
           or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a 
           garnishment of any of Borrower's or Grantor's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. 
           However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or Grantor 
           as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture 
           proceeding and if Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture 
           proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture 
           proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve 
           or bond for the dispute.

            Insufficient Market Value of Securities. The Collateral to loan percentage falls below 200.00%; as a result of 
            the deterioration of the market value of the Collateral , Grantor does not, by the close of business on the next
            business day after Grantor has received notice from Lender of the deterioration, either (1) reduce the amount 
            of the Indebtedness in this loan as required by Lender or (2) pledge or grant an additional security interest to
             increase the value of the Collateral as required by Lender.

          Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to guarantor, endorser, surety, or
          accommodation party of any of the Indebtedness or guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies 
          or becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the 
           Indebtedness.

          Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's or Grantor's financial condition, or Lender

                                                                     (Continued)                                                                        Page 3
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

           believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.

           Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's or Grantor's financial condition, or Lender 
           believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.

           Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

          Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payment or failure to satisfy Lender's requirement in the
           Insufficient Market Value of Securities section is curable and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach 
          of the same provision of this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no event 
          of default will have occurred) if Grantor, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such 
          default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days,
          immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default 
          and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as 
          soon as reasonably practical.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

           Accelerate Indebtedness. Declare all Indebtedness, including any prepayment penalty which Borrower would be
           required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Borrower or Grantor.

           Collect the Collateral. Collect any of the Collateral and, at Lender's option and to the extent permitted by 
           applicable law, retain possession of the Collateral while suing on the Indebtedness.

           Sell the Collateral. Sell the Collateral, at Lender's discretion, as a unit or in parcels, at one or more public or 
           private sales. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type 
           customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give or mail to Grantor, or any of them, notice at least 
           ten (10) days in advance of the time and place of any public sale, or of the date after which any private sale 
           may be made. Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice is satisfied if Lender mails notice by 
           ordinary mail addressed to Grantor, or any of them, at the last address Grantor has given Lender in writing. If a 
           public sale is held, there shall be sufficient compliance with all requirements of notice to the public by a single
           publication in any newspaper of general circulation in the county where the Collateral is located, setting forth 
           the time and place of sale and a brief description of the property to be sold. Lender may be a purchaser at any 
           public sale.

           Sell Securities. Sell any securities included in the Collateral in a manner consistent with applicable federal 
           and state securities laws. If, because of restrictions under such laws, Lender is unable, or believes Lender is 
           unable, to sell the securities in an open market transaction, Grantor agrees that Lender will have no obligation 
           to delay sale until the securities can be registered. Then Lender may make a private sale to one or more persons 
           or to a restricted group of persons, even though such sale may result in a price that is less favorable than 
           might be obtained in an open market transaction. Such a sale will be considered commercially reasonable. If 
           any securities held as Collateral are "restricted securities" as defined in the Rules of the Securities and Exchange
           Commission (such as Regulation D or Rule 144) or the rules of state securities departments under state "Blue Sky"
           laws, or if Grantor or any other owner of the Collateral is an affiliate of the issuer of the securities, Grantor agrees 
           that neither Grantor, nor any member of Grantor's family, nor any other person signing this Agreement will sell 
           or dispose of any securities of such issuer without obtaining Lender's prior written consent.

           Rights and Remedies with Respect to Investment Property, Financial Assets and Related Collateral.  In 
        addition to other rights and remedies granted under this Agreement and under applicable law, Lender 
           may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies: (1) register with any issuer or broker or 
           other securities Intermediary any of the Collateral consisting of investment property or financial assets 
           (collectively herein, "Investment property") in Lender's sole name or in the name of Lender's broker, 
           agent or nominee; ()2) cause any issuer, broker or other securities intermediary to deliver to Lender 
           any of the Collateral consisting of securities, or investment property capable of being delivered; 
            (3) enter into a control agreement or power of attorney with any issuer or securities intermediary with 
           respect to any Collateral consisting of investment property, on such terms as Lender may deem 
           appropriate, in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, an agreement granting to Lender any 
           of the rights provided hereunder without further notice to or consent by Grantor; (4) execute any such 
           control agreement on Grantor's behalf and in Grantor's name, and hereby irrevocably appoints Lender 
           as agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for the purpose of executing such control 
            agreement on Grantor's behalf; (5) exercise any and all rights of Lender under any such control 
            agreement or power of attorney; (6) exercise any voting, conversion, registration, purchase, option, 
            or other rights with respect to any Collateral; (7) collect, with or without legal action, and issue receipts 
            concerning any notes, checks, drafts, remittances or distributions that are paid or payable with respect 
            to any Collateral consisting of investment property. Any control agreement entered with respect to 
            any investment property shall contain the following provisions, at Lender's discretion. Lender shall be 
            authorized to instruct the issuer, broker or other securities intermediary to take or to refrain from taking 
            such actions with respect to the investment property as Lender may instruct, without further notice to 
            or consent by Grantor. Such actions may include without limitation the issuance of entitlement orders, 
            account instructions, general trading or buy or sell orders, transfer and redemption orders, and stop 
            loss orders. Lender shall be further entitled to instruct the issuer, broker or securities intermediary to 
            sell or to liquidate any investment property, or to pay the cash surrender or account termination value 
            with respect to any and all investment property, and to deliver all such payments and liquidation 
            proceeds to Lender. Any such control agreement shall contain such authorizations as are necessary 
            to place Lender in "control" of such investment collateral, as contemplated under the provisions of 
            the Uniform Commercial Code, and shall fully authorize Lender to issue "entitlement orders" concerning 
            the transfer, redemption, liquidation or disposition of investment collateral, in conformance with the
            provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.

            Foreclosure. Maintain a judicial suit for foreclosure and sale of the Collateral.

           Transfer Title. Effect transfer of title upon sale of all or part of the Collateral. For this purpose, Grantor 
            irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor's attorney-in-fact to execute endorsements, assignments and 
            instruments in the name of Grantor and each of them (if more than one) as shall be necessary or reasonable.

            Other Rights and Remedies. Have and exercise any or all of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under 
             the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, at law, in equity, or otherwise.

            Application of Proceeds. Apply any cash which is part of the Collateral, or which is received from the 
            collection or sale of the Collateral, to reimbursement of any expenses, including any costs for registration 
            of securities, commissions incurred in connection with a sale, attorneys' fees and court costs, whether or 
            not there is a lawsuit and including any fees on appeal, incurred by Lender in connection with the collection 
            and sale of such Collateral and to the payment of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, with any excess 
            funds to be paid to Grantor as the interests of Grantor may appear. Borrower agrees, to the extent permitted 
            by law, to pay any deficiency after application of the proceeds of the Collateral to the Indebtedness.

            Election of Remedies. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies, 
            whether evidenced by this Agreement, the Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative 
            and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not 
            exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an 
            obligation of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right 
            to declare a default and exercise its remedies.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Agreement.

              Amendments. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire understanding 
              and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Agreement. All prior and contemporaneous

              constitute an aspect of the agreement of the parties. Except as may be specifically set forth in this 
              Agreement, no conditions precedent or subsequent, of any kind whatsoever, exist with respect to Grantor's
              obligations under this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless

              costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lenders' attorneys' fees and legal 
              expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy
              proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any 
              anticipated post-judgment collection services. Grantor also shall pay all court costs and such additional

                 several, and all references to Grantor shall mean each and every Grantor, and all references to Borrower shall
                 mean each and every Borrower. This means that each Borrower and Grantor signing below is responsible for 
                 all obligations in this Agreement. Where any one or more of the parties is a corporation, partnership, limited
                 liability company or similar entity, it is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of any of the 
                 officers, directors, partners, members, or other agents acting or purporting to act on the entity's behalf, and 
                 any obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed
                 under this Agreement.

                  No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless 
                 such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising
                 any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this
                 Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance 
                 with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of
                 dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's
                 obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, 
                 the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to 
                 subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or 
                 withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

                 Notices. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any notice required to give given under this Agreement 
                 shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by

                 courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail

                 change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties,
                 specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's address. For notice purposes, Grantor 
                 agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Grantor's current address. To the extent permitted by 
                 applicable law, if there is more than one Grantor, any notice given by Lender to any Grantor is deemed 
                 to be notice given to all Grantors.

                 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, 
                 invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision 
                 illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall 
                 be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision 
                 cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required 
                 by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not 
                 affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

                 Successors and Assigns. Subject to any limitations stated in this Agreement or transfer of Grantor's 
                 interest, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors 
                 and assigns. If ownership of the Collateral becomes vested in a person other than Grantor, Lender, 
                 without notice to Grantor, may deal with Grantor's successors with reference to this Agreement and the
                 Indebtedness by way of forbearance or extension without releasing Grantor from the obligations of 
                 this Agreement or liability under the Indebtedness.

THIS COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT dated August 27, 2001, is made and executed between JACK E. GOLSEN ("Grantor") and THE BANK OF UNION ("Lender").

GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. For valuable consideration, Grantor grants to Lender a security interest in the Collateral to secure the Indebtedness and agrees that Lender shall have the rights stated in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral, in addition to all other rights which Lender may have by law.

COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION. The word "Collateral" as used in this Agreement means the following described property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing now or hereafter arising, and wherever located, in which Grantor is giving to Lender a security interest for the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of all other obligations under the Note and this Agreement:

          1,523,933 TOTAL SHARES OF LSB INDUSTRIES, INC. STOCK (533,333 SHARES OF PREFERRED 
          "B" AND 990,600 SHARES OF COMMON) PLEDGED AS COLLATERAL ON JACK E. GOLSEN, 
          GOLSEN PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SBL CORPORATION NOTES; CASH VALUE LIFE 
          INSURANCE; LOAN AGREEMENT

In addition, the word "Collateral" also includes all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located:

          (A)     All accessions, attachments, accessories, replacements and additions to any of the collateral described 
          herein, whether added now or later.

          (B)     All proceeds and produce of any of the property described in this Collateral section.

          (C)     All accounts, general intangibles, instruments, rents, monies, payments, and all other rights, arising out 
          of a sale, lease, or other disposition of any of the property described in this Collateral section.

          (D)     All proceeds (including insurance proceeds) from the sale, destruction, loss, or other disposition of any 
          of the property described in this Collateral section, and sums due from a third party who has damaged or 
          destroyed the Collateral or from that party's insurer, whether due to judgment, settlement or other process.

          (E)     All records and data relating to any of the property described in this Collateral section, whether in the 
          form of a writing, photograph, microfilm, microfiche, or electronic media, together with all of Grantor's right, 
          title, and interest in and to all computer software required tu utilize, create, maintain, and process any such 
          records or data on electronic media.

Despite any other provision of this Agreement, Lender is not granted, and will not have, a nonpurchase money security interest in household goods, to the extent such a security interest would be prohibited by applicable law. In addition, if because of the type of any Property, Lender is required to give a notice of the right to cancel under Truth in Lending for the Indebtedness, then Lender will not have a security interest in such Collateral unless and until such a notice is given.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Grantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Grantor holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

GRANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. With respect to the Collateral, Grantor represents and promises to Lender that:

          Perfection of Security Interest. Grantor agrees to execute financing statements and to take whatever other 
          actions are requested by Lender to perfect and continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Upon 
          request of Lender, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the documents evidencing or constituting 
          the Collateral, and Grantor will note Lender's interest upon any and all chattel paper if not delivered to 
          Lender for possession by Lender.

          Notices to Lender. Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing at Lender's address shown above (or 
          such other addresses as Lender may designate from time to time) prior to any (1) change in Grantor's 
          name; (2) change in Grantor's assumed business name(s); (3) change in the authorized signer(s); (4) 
          change in Grantor's principal office address; (5) change in Grantor's principal residence; (6) conversion 
          of Grantor to a new or different type of business entity; or (7) change in any other aspect of Grantor that 
          directly or indirectly relates to any agreements between Grantor and Lender. No change in Grantor's name 
          or principal residence will take effect until after Lender has received notice.

          No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate any law or agreement governing 
          Grantor or to which Grantor is a party.

          Enforceability of Collateral. To the extent the Collateral consists of accounts, chattel paper, or general 
          intangibles, as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance with its 
          terms, is genuine, and fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations concerning form, content and 
          manner of preparation and execution, and all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have 
          authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear to be on the Collateral. There 
          shall be no setoffs or counterclaims against any of the Collateral, and no agreement shall have been made 
          under which any deductions or discounts maybe claimed concerning the Collateral except those disclosed 
          to Lender in writing.

          Location of the Collateral. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, Grantor agrees to keep the 
          Collateral at Grantor's address shown above or at such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Upon 
          Lender's request, Grantor will deliver to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties 
          and Collateral locations relating to Grantor's operations, including without limitation, the following: (1) all 
          real property Grantor owns or is purchasing; (2) all real property Grantor is renting or leasing; (3) all storage 
          facilities Grantor owns, rents, leases, or uses; and (4) all other properties where Collateral is or may be located.

          Removal of the Collateral. Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, Grantor shall not remove the
          Collateral from its existing location without Lender's prior written consent. Grantor shall, whenever requested, 
          advise Lender of the exact location of the Collateral.

          Transactions Involving Collateral. Except for Inventory sold or accounts collected in the ordinary course of
          Grantor's business, or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell, or 
          otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral. Grantor shall not pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit 
          the Collateral to be subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the security interest
          provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Lender. This includes security interests 
          even if junior in right to the security interests granted under this Agreement. Unless waived by Lender, all 
          proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and shall 
          not be commingled with any other funds; provided, however, this requirement shall not constitute consent by 
          Lender to any sale or other disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor shall immediately deliver any such proceeds 
          to Lender.

          Title. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that Grantor holds good and marketable title to the Collateral, 
           free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing statement 
           covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office other than those which reflect the security interest 
           created by this Agreement or to which Lender has specifically consented. Grantor shall defend Lender's rights 
           in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons.

          Repairs and Maintenance. Grantor agrees to keep and maintain, and to cause others to keep and maintain, the
          Collateral in good order, repair and condition at all times while this Agreement remains in effect. Grantor further
          agrees to pay when due all claims for work done on, or services rendered or material furnished in connection 
          with the Collateral so that no lien or encumbrance may ever attach to or be filed against the Collateral.

          Inspection of Collateral. Lender and Lender's designated representatives and agents shall have the right at all
          reasonable times to examine and inspect the Collateral wherever located.

          Taxes, Assessments and Liens. Grantor will pay when due all taxes, assessments and liens upon the Collateral, 
           its use or operation, upon this Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness, 
          or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may withhold any such payment or may elect to contest 
          any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and 
          so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in Lender's sole opinion. If the Collateral is 
          subjected to a lien which is not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor shall deposit with Lender cash, 
          a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount

          adequate to provide for the discharge of the lien plus any interest, costs, attorneys' fees or other charges that 
          could accrue as a result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any contest Grantor shall defend itself and 
          Lender and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall 
          name Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings. Grantor 
          further agrees to furnish Lender with evidence that such taxes, assessments, and governmental and other 
          charges have been paid in full and in a timely manner. Grantor may withhold any such payment or may elect 
          to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation 
          to pay and so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized.

          Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Grantor shall comply promptly with all laws, ordinances, rules
          and regulations of all governmental authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership, 
          production, disposition, or use of the Collateral. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance 
          or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as 
          Lender's interest in the Collateral, in Lender's opinion, is not jeopardized.

          Hazardous Substances. Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral never has been, and never will be 
          so long as this Agreement remains a lien on the Collateral, used in violation of any Environmental Laws or 
          for the generation, manufacture, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of 
          any Hazardous Substance. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's due 
          diligence in investigating the Collateral for Hazardous Substances. Grantor hereby (1) releases and waives any 
          future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or 
          other costs under any Environmental Laws, and (2) agrees to indemnity and hold harmless Lender against any 
          and all claims and losses resulting from a breach of this provision of this Agreement. This obligation to 
          indemnity shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the satisfaction of this Agreement.

          Maintenance of Casualty Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain all risks insurance, including without
          limitation fire, theft and liability coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may require with 
          respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued 
          by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to lender. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to 
          Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including 
          stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least thirty (30) days prior written 
          notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice. 
          Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not 
          be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. In connection with all 
          policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide Lender 
          with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require. If Grantor at any time fails to obtain or 
          maintain any insurance as required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain 
          such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if Lender so chooses "single interest insurance," 
          which will cover only Lender's interest in the Collateral.

          Application of Insurance Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the 
          Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. 
          All proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds thereon, shall be held by 
          Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed 
          Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds 
          for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the 
          Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall 
          pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their 
          receipt and which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral shall be used to 
          prepay the Indebtedness.

          Insurance Reserves. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of insurance
          premiums, which reserves shall be created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender 
          to be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium due date, amounts at least equal to 
          the insurance premiums to be paid. If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are 
          insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender. The reserve funds shall be held by 
          Lender as a general deposit and shall constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy 
          by payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they become due. Lender does not 
          hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor, and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the 
          insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the payment of premiums shall 
          remain Grantor's sole responsibility.

          Insurance Reports. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to Lender reports on each existing policy 
          of insurance showing such information as Lender may reasonably request including the following: (1) the 
          name of the Insurer; (2) the risks incurred; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property insured; (5) the then 
          current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value; 
          and (6) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Grantor shall upon request by Lender (however not 
          more often than annually) have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable, 
          the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.

GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION. Until default, Grantor may have possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect lender's security interest in such Collateral. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect or maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness.

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such encumbrances incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note or at the highest rate authorized by law, from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable Insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon Default. If Lender is required by law to give Grantor notice before or after Lender makes an expenditure, Grantor agrees that notice sent by regular mail at least five (5) days before the expenditure is made or notice delivered two (2) days before the expenditure is made is sufficient, and that notice within sixty (60) days after the expenditure is made is reasonable.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

          Payment Default.  Grantor fails to make any payment when due under the Indebtedness.

         Other Defaults.  Grantor fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition
         contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term,
         obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Grantor.

          False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Grantor or 
          on Grantor's behalf under this Agreement, the Note, or the Related Documents is false or misleading in 
          any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any 
          time thereafter.

          Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and 
          effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at 
          any time and for any reason.

          Death or Insolvency. The death of Grantor or the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver 
          for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor 
          workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or 
          against Grantor.

          Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by 
           judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or  by any
          governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment 
          of any of Grantor's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of 
          Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the validity or reasonableness 
          of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender 
          written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety 
          bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole 
          discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

          Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to guarantor, endorser, surety, 
          or accommodation party of any of the Indebtedness or guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party 
          dies or becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the
          Indebtedness.

          Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial condition, or Lender believes 
          the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

          Insecurity.   Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

          Cure Provisions.  If any default, other than a default in payment is curable and if Grantor has not been 
          given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12) 
          months, it may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if Grantor, after receiving written 
          notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or 
          (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems 
          in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and 
          completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as 
          reasonably practical.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code.  In addition and without limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

          Accelerate Indebtedness.  Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness, including any prepayment penalty 
          which Grantor would be required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to 
          Grantor.

          Assemble Collateral.  Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all or any portion of the Collateral 
          and any and all certificates of title and other documents relating to the Collateral.  Lender may require
          Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender.
          Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the property of Grantor to take possession of and 
          remove the Collateral.  If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time
          of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided that Lender makes
          reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor after repossession.

          Sell the Collateral.  Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise dispose of  the 
          Collateral.  Unless the Collateral in whole or in part is perishable or threatens to decline speedily 
          in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Grantor reasonable
          notice of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time after which any private sale or other
          disposition is to be made.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any require-
          ment of notice for this purpose shall be met if notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to the address of
          Grantor provided for in this Agreement at least ten (10) days before sale or other disposition or
          action.  Lender shall be entitled to, and Grantor shall be liable for, all reasonable costs and 
          expenditures incurred in realizing on Lender's security interest, including without limitation, all
          court costs, fees for sale, selling costs and reasonable attorneys' fees as set forth in the Note or 
          in this Agreement.  All such costs shall be secured by the security interest in the Collateral 
          covered by this Agreement.

          Appoint Receiver. In any action by Lender for the foreclosure of this Agreement, whether by judicial 
          foreclosure or power of sale, Lender shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver upon any failure of 
          Grantor to comply with any term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this Agreement, the Note, 
          or any Related Documents.

          Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts. Lender, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, 
          rents, income and revenues from the Collateral. Lender may at any time in Lender's discretion transfer any 
          Collateral into Lender's own name or that of Lender's nominee and receive the payments, rents, income, and 
          revenues therefrom and hold the same as security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the 
          Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the Collateral consists of 
          accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar 
          property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or realize on 
          the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For these 
          purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed 
          to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, 
          money orders, documents of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of 
          any Collateral. To facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to 
          make payments directly to Lender.

          Obtain Deficiency.  If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment 
          against Grantor for any deficiency remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all 
          amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Grantor shall be liable for a 
          deficiency even if the transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.

          Other Rights and Remedies.  Lender s hall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor 
          under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as may be amended from time to time.  In 
          addition, Lender shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have 
          available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

          Election of Remedies.  Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies, 
          whether evidenced by this Agreement, the Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative 
          and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.  Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude 
          pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation 
          of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare 
          a default and exercise its remedies.
