Right to Perform for Borrower.

Any such payments advanced by Lender shall be repaid by Borrower upon demand, together with interest thereon from the date of the advance until repaid, both before and after judgment, at the Default Rate.

Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Lender to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Lender, as Lender may select in its exclusive discretion, as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the power to endorse Borrower’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for Lender to use, preserve, or protect the Collateral, or to grant or issue any exclusive or nonexclusive license under the Collateral to any third person, or necessary for Lender to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Collateral to any third person, provided, however, that such power may not be exercised prior to the occurrence of an event of default hereunder. Borrower hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any obligations secured hereby are outstanding and unpaid.

10.

Default. Time is of the essence of this Security Agreement. The occurrence of any Event of Default shall constitute a default under this Security Agreement.

No course of dealing or any delay or failure to assert any default shall constitute a waiver of that default or of any prior or subsequent default.

11.

Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies existing at law, in equity, or by statute or provided in the Loan Documents:

Lender shall have all the rights and remedies available under the Uniform Commercial Code;

Lender shall have the right to enter upon any premises where the Collateral or records relating thereto may be and take possession of the Collateral and such records;

Upon request of Lender, Borrower shall, at the expense of Borrower, assemble the Collateral and records relating thereto at a place designated by Lender and tender the Collateral and such records to Lender;

Lender may obtain the appointment of a receiver of the business, property and assets of Borrower and Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of Lender or such person as Lender may designate as such receiver; and

Lender may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral and, after deducting the Liquidation Costs, apply the remainder to pay, or to hold as a reserve against, the obligations secured by this Security Agreement.

Borrower shall be liable for all deficiencies owing on any obligations secured by this Security Agreement after liquidation of the Collateral. Lender shall not have any obligation to prepare any Collateral for sale, lease or other disposition.

The rights and remedies herein conferred are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights and remedies and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically granted or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or by statute which Lender might otherwise have, and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as Lender may deem expedient. No delay or omission in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or of any default or to be an acquiescence therein.

In the event of breach or default under the terms of this Security Agreement, Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of Lender in enforcing, or exercising any remedies under, this Security Agreement, and any other rights and remedies. Additionally, Borrower agrees to pay all Liquidation Costs.

Lender shall have the sole and complete control of the defense of any such claims. Lender is hereby authorized to settle or otherwise compromise any such claims as Lender in good faith determines shall be in its best interests.

14.

Jury Waiver; Exclusive Jurisdiction of Utah Courts.

BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.

Borrower acknowledges that by execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, Borrower has transacted business in the State of Utah, and Borrower hereby voluntarily submits to, consents to, and waives any defense to the jurisdiction of courts located in the State of Utah as to all matters relating to or arising from this Security Agreement.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED IN WRITING BY LENDER, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF UTAH SHALL HAVE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DISPUTES, AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.

15.

General. This Security Agreement is made for the sole and exclusive benefit of Borrower and Lender and is not intended to benefit any third party. No such third party may claim any right or benefit or seek to enforce any term or provision of this Security Agreement.

Lender and its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, and attorneys, shall not be liable to Borrower or any guarantor for consequential damages arising from or relating to any breach of contract, tort, or other wrong in connection with or relating to this Security Agreement or the Collateral.

If the incurring of any debt by Borrower or the payment of any money or transfer of property to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any guarantor should for any reason subsequently be determined to be “voidable” or “avoidable” in whole or in part within the meaning of any state or federal law (collectively “voidable transfers”), including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state law, and Lender is required to repay or restore any voidable transfers or the amount or any portion thereof, or upon the advice of Lender’s counsel is advised to do so, then, as to any such amount or property repaid or restored, including all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Lender related thereto, the liability of Borrower and any guarantor, and each of them, and this Security Agreement, shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored and shall exist as though the voidable transfers had never been made.

This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

All references in this Security Agreement to the singular shall be deemed to include the plural if the context so requires and vice versa. References in the collective or conjunctive shall also include the disjunctive unless the context otherwise clearly requires a different interpretation.

All agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by Borrower shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the filing and consummation of any bankruptcy proceedings, and shall continue in effect so long as any obligation to Lender contemplated by this Security Agreement is outstanding and unpaid, notwithstanding any termination of this Security Agreement. All agreements, representations, warranties and covenants in this Security Agreement shall bind the party making the same and its heirs and successors, and shall be to the benefit of and be enforceable by each party for whom made and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

This Security Agreement, together with the Loan Documents, constitute the entire agreement between Borrower and Lender as to the subject matter hereof and may not be altered or amended except by written agreement signed by Borrower and Lender. All other prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements, and understandings between the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof are, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, rescinded.
