(PARTNERSHIP INTEREST)
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on June 23, 1998 between Congress
Financial Corporation (Western) ("Secured Party") and XIT Corporation
("Pledgor") in connection with that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even
date between Secured Party as lender and Pledgor, Microtel International, Inc.,
CXR Telcom Corporation and Hycomp, Inc., as borrowers (the "Loan Agreement").
THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. SECURITY INTEREST.
1.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Pledgor hereby pledges to Secured
Party and grants Secured Party a security interest in all of the following,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the "Collateral"):
(a) All of Pledgor's present and future interest in Capital Source
Partners, a Real Estate Partnership, a California general partnership (the
"Partnership"), including without limitation Pledgor's existing partnership
interest in the Partnership and all of Pledgor's present and future interest in
the capital, profits, income and distributions of the Partnership (collectively,
the "Partnership Interest"); and
(b) All rights to, and in connection with, the Security Loan (as
defined in Section 5.1(c) of the Partnership Agreement) (the "Security Loan");
and
(c) All payments on and with respect to, and all proceeds of, the
Partnership Interest and the Security Loan, including without limitation all
money, accounts, deposit accounts, chattel paper, documents, notes, drafts,
instruments, contract rights, general intangibles, equipment, inventory, goods,
insurance proceeds and all other tangible and intangible property resulting from
the sale, collection upon, distribution or payment on account of, or other
disposition of, the Partnership Interest or the Security Loan (collectively,
"Partnership Proceeds"); and
(d) All present and future books, records, data and other
documentation, relating to the Partnership or the Partnership Interest,
including without limitation all reports and financial statements;
TO SECURE the payment and performance of all debts, duties, obligations,
liabilities, representations, warranties and guaranties of Pledgor to Secured
Party, heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, of every kind
and nature (collectively, the "Obligations"), including, but not limited to,
those arising under the Loan Agreement or any other documents relating thereto.
(The foregoing documents and agreements, the Loan Agreement, this Agreement, and
all other present and future instruments and agreements between Pledgor and
Secured Party are referred to in this Agreement as the "Loan Documents.")
1.2 DISTRIBUTIONS. From and after the date of this Agreement,
Pledgor shall remit to Secured Party all Partnership Proceeds received by
Pledgor, to be applied to the Revolving Loans (as defined in the Loan
Agreement), whether or not any Event of Default has
1
occurred. (As used in this Agreement, "Obligor" shall mean the Partnership
and all other persons who now are or hereafter become in any way obligated,
liable or responsible for any payment or other distribution of any kind on
account of the Partnership Interest, or for any other payment of Partnership
Proceeds.) All Partnership Proceeds actually received by Secured Party in
cash shall be applied to the Revolving Loans. Pledgor shall not commingle
such Partnership Proceeds with any of Pledgor's other funds or property; and
shall hold such Partnership Proceeds separate and apart from Pledgor's other
funds and property in an express trust for Secured Party until paid or
delivered to Secured Party.
1.3 NOTICE TO OBLIGORS OF SECURITY INTEREST. Concurrently with
Pledgor's execution of this Agreement, Pledgor shall (a) send a notice to the
Partnership stating that Pledgor has granted a security interest in the
Collateral to Secured Party; (b) cause the Partnership to provide Secured Party
with a written agreement, satisfactory to Secured Party in form and substance,
in which the Partnership agrees to (i) pay or deliver all Partnership Proceeds
directly to Secured Party from and after the date written notice of an Event of
Default is given to the Partnership by Secured Party; and (ii) allow Secured
Party to make any capital or other contributions or payments (collectively
"Subsequent Contributions") on behalf of Pledgor should Secured Party desire to
do so, in its sole discretion. From time to time upon Secured Party's request,
Pledgor shall give written notice to any or all Obligors containing such
additional information and instructions concerning Secured Party's rights under
this Agreement as may be specified by Secured Party. The notices referred to in
this Section shall be in such form as Secured Party shall specify. From time to
time and without notice to Pledgor, Secured Party shall have the right to give
notice to any Obligor containing such information and instructions concerning
Secured Party's rights under this Agreement as Secured Party determines to be
necessary or appropriate.
1.4 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. If Pledgor fails to perform any of its
obligations under the Partnership Agreement, Secured Party, at its option and in
its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to pay or perform any or all of such obligations in such manner and to such
extent as Secured Party determines to be necessary or appropriate to preserve or
protect Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral. Pledgor shall
provide Secured Party with copies of all notices to Pledgor from the Partnership
or from the general partners of the Partnership within two business days after
Pledgor's receipt of each such notice, including copies of all notices
requesting payment of any Subsequent Contribution. All costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and the amount of any Subsequent Contribution made by
Secured Party on Pledgor's behalf, incurred by Secured Party in connection with
the payment or performance of such obligations or any Subsequent Contribution
shall be payable by Pledgor to Secured Party on Secured Party's demand, shall
bear interest at the highest rate applicable to the Obligations from the date of
expenditure, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed to obligate Secured Party to make all or part of
any Subsequent Contribution or to pay or perform any of Pledgor's obligations
under the Partnership Agreement, and no election by Secured Party to do so in
any instance shall obligate Secured Party to do so in any other instance, nor
shall it constitute a waiver of the Pledgor's default or of Secured Party's
other rights and remedies.
1.5 NO LIABILITY BY SECURED PARTY. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall render Secured Party directly or indirectly liable or
responsible to Pledgor, the Partnership, or any other person for (a) the
control, operation, or management of the Partnership, (b) the performance or
observance of any or all of Pledgor's duties, obligations, representations, or
warranties as a
2
partner under the Partnership Agreement or any other agreement or document
relating to any or all of the Collateral, or (c) any failure or delay by
Secured Party in enforcing or collecting any payment or distribution of any
Partnership Proceeds. Secured Party shall have no duty to make any inquiry
as to the sufficiency of any Partnership Proceeds received by Secured Party
or to collect the same.
2. PLEDGOR'S COVENANTS.
2.1 PLEDGOR'S PARTNERSHIP OBLIGATIONS. Pledgor shall at all times
perform and discharge all obligations of Pledgor under the Partnership Agreement

shall provide Secured Party with immediate notice thereof: Any Event of Default
under, or as defined in, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
occur.

sale. Secured Party may directly or through any affiliate purchase the
Collateral, at any such public disposition, and if permissible under
applicable law, at any private disposition. Pledgor and Secured Party hereby
agree that it shall conclusively be deemed commercially reasonable for
Secured Party, in connection with any sale or disposition of the Collateral,

economic risk of an investment in the Collateral, the knowledge and
experience in business and financial matters of a purchaser or bidder, the
access of a purchaser or bidder to information concerning the Partnership, as
well as legend conditions and stop transfer instructions restricting
subsequent transfer of the Collateral, and any other restrictions or
conditions which Secured Party believes to be necessary or advisable in order
to comply with any state or federal securities or other laws. Pledgor
acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions may result in fewer proceeds
being received upon such sale then would otherwise be the case. Pledgor
hereby agrees to provide to Secured Party any and all information required by
Secured Party in connection with any sales of Collateral by Secured Party
hereunder. Any and all attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, liabilities and
obligations incurred by Secured Party in connection with the foregoing shall

liable for any deficiency remaining on the Obligations after any disposition of
any or all of the Collateral and after Secured Party's application of any
proceeds to the Obligations.
5. REMEDIES, CUMULATIVE; NO WAIVER. The failure of Secured Party to
enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement at any time or for any period of
time shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such provision or the right
thereafter to enforce the same. All remedies hereunder shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Secured Party
by law.

attorney in fact of Pledgor, with full power of substitution, coupled with an
interest, with full power, in Secured Party's own name or in the name of

actions as Secured Party shall, in its discretion, deem necessary or advisable
