Perfection and Priority The security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a valid and continuing perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in all Collateral subject, for the following Collateral, to the occurrence of the following: (i) in the case of all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement under the UCC, the completion of the filings specified on Schedule 2 (which, in the case of all filings referred to on such schedule, have been duly authorized by each Grantor and delivered to the Collateral Agent in completed form), (ii) with respect to any deposit account, the execution of a Control Agreement, (iii) in the case of all Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents for which UCC filings are insufficient, all appropriate filings having been made with the Applicable IP Office, (iv) in the case of letter-of-credit rights that are not supporting obligations of Collateral, the execution of a Contractual Obligation granting control to the Collateral Agent over such letter-of-credit rights, and (v) in the case of electronic chattel paper, the completion of all steps necessary to grant control to the Collateral Agent over such electronic chattel paper. Such security interest shall be prior to all other Liens on the Collateral except for Customary Permitted Liens having priority over the Collateral Agent’s Lien by operation of law or permitted pursuant to clause (c), (e) or (j) of the definition of “Customary Permitted Liens” in the Credit Agreement or subsection 8.2(c), 8.2(d), 8.2(e), 8.2(f) or 8.2(h) of the Credit Agreement upon (i) in the case of all Pledged Certificated Stock, Pledged Debt Instruments and Pledged Investment Property, the delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent of such Pledged Certificated Stock, Pledged Debt Instruments and Pledged Investment Property consisting of instruments and certificates, in each case properly endorsed for transfer to the Collateral Agent or in blank, (ii) in the case of all Pledged Investment Property not in certificated form, the execution of a Control Agreement with respect to such investment property, and (iii) in the case of all other instruments and tangible chattel paper that are not Pledged Certificated Stock, Pledged Debt Instruments or Pledged Investment Property, the delivery to the Collateral Agent of such instruments and tangible chattel paper. Except as set forth in this Section 4.2, all actions by each Grantor necessary to perfect the Lien granted hereunder on the Collateral have been duly taken.

When financing statements have been filed in the appropriate offices against the Grantor in the locations listed on Exhibit H, the Lender will have a fully perfected first priority security interest in that Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, subject only to Liens permitted under Section 4.1(e).
Other Financing Statements and Liens Except as otherwise permitted under Section 9.06 of the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (granted with the authorization of the Lenders as specified in Section 11.09 of the Credit Agreement), no Securing Party shall file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Administrative Agent is not named as the sole secured party for the benefit of the Lenders.

Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests The representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and priority of security interests in the Purchased Property, which are attached to this Agreement as Appendix B, are true and correct to the extent that they are applicable.
Liens and Security Interests Subject to the consent of the United States, as lessor under each of the Leases (“Lessor”), each Party grants to the other Parties to this Agreement a lien on any interest it now owns or later acquires in Oil and Gas Leases in the Contract Area, and a security interest and/or purchase money security interest in any interest it now owns or later acquires in the personal property and fixtures on or used or obtained for use in connection with any interest, to secure performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement including, but not limited to, payment of expense, interest and fees, the proper disbursement of all monies paid under this Agreement, the assignment or relinquishment of interest in Oil and Gas Leases as required hereunder, and the proper performance of operations under this Agreement. The lien and security interest granted by each Party shall include the Party’s Leasehold interests, working interests, operating rights, and royalty and overriding royalty interests in the Contract Area now owned or later acquired and in lands pooled or unitized with them, or otherwise becoming subject to this Agreement, the Oil and Gas when extracted and equipment situated on or used or obtained for use in connection with the Contract Area (including, without limitation, all xxxxx, tools, and tubular goods), and accounts (including, without limitation, accounts arising from gas imbalances or from the sale of Oil and/or Gas at the wellhead), contract rights, inventory, and general intangibles relating to or arising from them, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing. To perfect the lien and security agreement provided, each Party shall shall use reasonable efforts to obtain Lessor’s consent to the security interest grant, execute and acknowledge the recording supplement and/or any financing statement prepared and submitted by any Party in conjunction with or at any time following execution of this Agreement, and Operator is authorized to file this Agreement or the recording supplement as a lien or mortgage in the applicable real estate records and as a financing statement with the proper officer under the Uniform Commercial Code in the state of Nevada (“UCC”) and such other states as Operator shall deem appropriate to perfect the security interest granted. Any Party may file this Agreement, the recording supplement, or other documents as it deems necessary as a lien or mortgage in the applicable real estate records and/or a financing statement with the proper officer under the UCC. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Parties that the lien and security interest granted by a Party to the other Parties shall be a first and prior lien, subject only to any prior or preferential rights of Lessor, and each Party shall maintain the priority of the lien and security interest against all persons acquiring an interest in the Oil and Gas Leases covered by this Agreement by, through, or under the Party. All Parties acquiring an interest in Oil and Gas Leases covered by this Agreement, whether by assignment, merger, mortgage, operation of law, or otherwise, shall be deemed to have taken subject to the lien and security interest granted by this Article VII.B as to all obligations attributable to the interest under this Agreement whether or not the obligations arise before or after the interest is acquired. To the extent that Parties have a security interest under the UCC, they shall be entitled to exercise the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Bringing a suit and obtaining judgment by a Party for the secured indebtedness shall not be deemed an election of remedies or otherwise affect the lien rights or security interest as security for the payment of the indebtedness. In addition, on default by any Party in the payment of its share of expenses, interest or fees, or upon the improper use of funds by the Operator, the other Parties shall have the right, without prejudice to other rights or remedies, to collect from the purchaser the proceeds from the sale of the defaulting Party’s share of Oil and Gas until the amount owed by the Party, plus interest as provided in Exhibit B, has been received, and shall have the right to offset the amount owed against the proceeds from the sale of the defaulting Party’s share of Oil and Gas. All purchasers of production may rely on a notification of default from the non-defaulting Party or Parties stating the amount due as a result of the default, and all Parties waive any recourse available against purchasers for releasing production proceeds as provided in this paragraph. If any Party fails to pay its share of costs within one hundred twenty (120) days after rendition of a statement of costs by Operator, the non-defaulting Parties, including Operator, shall, on request by Operator, pay the unpaid amount in the proportion that the interest of each Party bears to the interest of all Parties. The amount paid by each Party paying its share of the unpaid amount shall be secured by the liens and security rights described in Article VII.B, and each paying Party may independently pursue any remedy available under this Agreement or otherwise. If any Party does not perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, and the failure to perform subjects that Party to foreclosure or execution proceedings pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent allowed by governing law, the defaulting Party waives any available right of redemption from and after the date of judgment, any required valuation or appraisement of the mortgaged or secured property prior to sale, any available right to stay execution or to require a marshalling of assets and any required bond if a receiver is appointed. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party grants to the other Parties a power of sale as to any property that is subject to the lien and security rights granted by this Agreement, the power to be exercised in the manner provided by applicable law or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner and on reasonable notice. The Parties shall be entitled to utilize the provisions of oil and gas lien law or other lien law of the state of Nevada to enforce the obligations of each Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Operator may invoke or utilize the mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien law of the state of Nevada in order to secure the payment to Operator of any sum due under this Agreement for services performed or materials supplied by Operator.
Collateral Documents and Guaranties Each Lender (which term shall include, for purposes of this Section 8.6, any Hedge Agreement Counterparty) hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to enter into each Collateral Document as secured party and to be the agent for and representative of Lenders under each Guaranty, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each Collateral Document and the Guaranties; provided that Administrative Agent shall not (a) enter into or consent to any material amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Collateral Document or the Guaranties or (b) release any Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Collateral Document), in each case without the prior consent of Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 9.6, all Lenders); provided further, however, that, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, (ii) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty if all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented or (iii) subordinate the Liens of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, to any Liens permitted by clause (v) of Section 6.2(a); provided that, in the case of a sale or other disposition of such item of Collateral or stock referred to in subdivision (i) or (ii), the requirements of Section 9.14 are satisfied. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or to enforce any Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents and the Guaranties may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof and (B) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Administrative Agent at such sale.
Permitted Liens; Title Insurance Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Underlying Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.
PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL AND PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS THEREIN Borrower shall, at Lender's request, at any time and from time to time, authenticate, execute and deliver to Lender such financing statements, documents and other agreements and instruments (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices deemed necessary or desirable by Lender) and do such other acts and things or cause third parties to do such other acts and things as Lender may deem necessary or desirable in its sole discretion in order to establish and maintain a valid, attached and perfected security interest in the Collateral in favor of Lender (free and clear of all other liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of third parties whatsoever, whether voluntarily or involuntarily created, except Permitted Liens) to secure payment of the Liabilities, and in order to facilitate the collection of the Collateral. Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as Borrower's true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact to execute and file such financing statements, documents and other agreements and instruments and do such other acts and things as may be necessary to preserve and perfect Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower further agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. Borrower further ratifies and confirms the prior filing by Lender of any and all financing statements which identify the Borrower as debtor, Lender as secured party and any or all Collateral as collateral.
