Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming through or under Borrower shall have any claim to or interest in the Controlled Accounts and, if this Agreement constitutes the grant of a security interest in such property, except for the interest of the Borrower in such property as a debtor for purposes of the UCC.

Pledge and Security Interest Each Pledgor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably pledges, grants and hypothecates to the Pledgees, and grants to the Pledgees a continuing first priority security interest in, a first lien upon and a right of set-off against, all of its respective rights, titles and interests of whatsoever kind and nature in (the “Security Interest”), and to secure the complete and timely payment, performance and discharge in full, as the case may be, of all of the obligations pursuant to the Notes, the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):
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.
