irrevocably pledges, grants and hypothecates to the Secured Party a continuing
security interest in and to, a lien upon all of the Debtors’ respective right,
title and interest of whatsoever kind and nature in and to, the Collateral
(the
“Security
Interest”).
3.
Representations,
Warranties, Covenants and Agreements of the Debtors.
Each
Debtor represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Secured
Party as follows:
(a)
Each
Debtor has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power, as
appropriate, and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by each
Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Debtor and no further
action is required by any Debtor.
(b)
Each
Debtor is the sole owner of its Collateral, free and clear of any conflicting
ownership interest or liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims
(except for Permitted Liens), and is fully authorized to grant the Security
Interest in and to pledge the Collateral. Except for Permitted Liens, there
is
not on file in any governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording
office an effective financing statement, security agreement, license or transfer
or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those filed in favor of the
Secured Party) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. So long as this
Agreement shall be in effect, no Debtor shall execute and shall knowingly permit
to be on file in any such office or agency any such financing statement or
other
document or instrument (except (i) for Permitted Liens and (ii) to the extent
filed or recorded in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement).
3
(c)
To
each Debtor’s knowledge, no part of its ownership rights to its Collateral has
been judged invalid or unenforceable. No written claim has been received that
any Collateral or any Debtor’s use of any Collateral violates the rights of any
third party, other than adjustments to accounts receivable in the ordinary
course of Debtors’ business. There has been no adverse decision to any Debtor’s
claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use of its Collateral in
any
jurisdiction or to any Debtor’s right to keep and maintain such Collateral in
full force and effect, and there is no proceeding involving said rights pending
or, to the best knowledge of such Debtor, threatened before any court, judicial
body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator or other governmental
authority.
(d)
This
Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in
the
Collateral located
in the United States of America securing
the payment and performance of the Obligations and, upon making the filings
described in Section
3(e) immediately
below, will create a perfected first priority security interest in such
Collateral.
(e)
Each
Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file one or more financing
statements evidencing the Security Interest with the proper filing and recording
agencies in any jurisdiction deemed proper by the Secured Party.
(f)
The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each Debtor does not
conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse
of
time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice,
lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing such Debtor’s debt or otherwise) or other understanding
to which such Debtor is a party or by which any property or asset of such Debtor
is bound or affected. No consent, which has not been received and provided
to
the Secured Party (including, without limitation, from stockholders or creditors
of such Debtor) is required for such Debtor to enter into and perform its
obligations hereunder.
(g)
After
making the filings contemplated by Section
3(e)
above,
each Debtor shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided
for hereunder as valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests
in the Collateral located in the United States of America in favor of the
Secured Party, but in each case subject to Permitted Liens, until this Agreement
and the Security Interest hereunder shall be terminated. Each Debtor hereby
agrees to defend the same against any and all persons. Each Debtor shall
safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured Party.
Each
Debtor irrevocably authorizes the Secured Party at any time and from time to
time to file in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial financing
statement or amendment thereto that indicates the collateral as “all assets” or
“all personal property” of such Debtor or words of similar effect. The Debtors
shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the
Collateral, and the Debtors shall obtain and furnish to the Secured Party from
time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and
liens that may be required to maintain the priority of the Security Interest
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in the
Transaction Documents, Debtors will not be obligated to incur or assume the
cost
of any actions taken to perfect or continue the perfection of any security
interests granted hereunder.
4
(h)
Each
Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further
deeds, mortgages, fixture filings, assignments, security agreements, financing
statements or other instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and
take
such further action as the Secured Party may from time to time request and
may
in its sole discretion deem necessary to perfect, protect or enforce its
security interest in the Collateral located in the United States of America
or
any additional collateral located in the United States of America, including,
without limitation, the execution and delivery of separate mortgages and fixture
filings, which shall be satisfactory to the Secured Party in their sole
discretion for real or personal property interest.
(i)
No
Debtor organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State
thereof (each, a “US
Debtor”)
will
sell, assign, transfer, or convey any of its assets without the consent of
the
Secured Party except (i) in the ordinary course of its business, (ii)
replacements of obsolete or worn out equipment, or (iii) sales, assignments,
transfers or conveyances to another US debtor.
(j)
Each
Debtor shall promptly notify the Secured Party in sufficient detail upon
becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process
levied against its Collateral and of any other information received by such
Debtor that would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral,
the Security Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured Party
hereunder.
(k)
All
information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Secured Party by
or
on behalf of any Debtor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete
in all material respects as of the date furnished.
(l)
No
Debtor will change its name, corporate structure, jurisdiction of formation,
or
identity, or add any new fictitious name unless it provides at least thirty
(30)
days prior written notice to the Secured Party of such change and, at the time
of such written notification, such Debtor provides any financing statements
or
fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue perfected the perfected first
priority Security Interest granted and evidenced by this Agreement.
(m)
No
Debtor may relocate its chief executive office to a new location without
providing thirty (30) days prior written notification thereof to the Secured
Party and so long as, at the time of such written notification, such Debtor
provides any financing statements or fixture filings necessary to perfect and
continue perfected the perfected first priority Security Interest granted and
evidenced by this Agreement.
5
(n)
No
Debtor will, nor will any Debtor permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly
or
indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale (as defined in the Promissory Notes)
provided, however, that any Debtor and any of their respective Subsidiaries
may
consummate sales of assets or Equity Interests (as defined in the Promissory
Notes) to the Company or its Subsidiaries with Secured Party’s consent, which
will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, other than any Asset Sale which
transfers an asset or an Equity interest to a non-United States
Subsidiary.
(o)
The
Debtors that are organized under the laws of the United States of America or
any
political subdivision thereof will at all times preserve and keep in full force
their respective valid existence and good standing and any rights and franchises
material to their business.

or by
any governmental authority having jurisdiction over any Debtor, seeking to
establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or any Debtor shall deny
that any Debtor has any liability or obligation purported to be created under
this Agreement.
5.
Duty
To Hold In Trust.
Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, each Debtor
shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income or other sums subject to the Security
Interest, whether payable pursuant to the Promissory Notes or otherwise, or
of
any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument evidencing an
obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the Secured Party
and
shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or instruments, or both,
to
the Secured Party for application to the satisfaction of the
Obligations.

6.
Rights
and Remedies Upon Default.
Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured
Party shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder
and under the other Transaction Documents, and all the rights and remedies
of a
secured party under the UCC. Without limitation, upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party, shall have the
following rights and powers:
(a)
The
Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and,
for
that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises
where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the
same, and each Debtor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to
the
Secured Party at places that the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether
at such Debtor’s premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Secured Party,
without rent, all of such Debtor’s respective premises and facilities for the
purpose of the Secured Party taking possession of, removing or putting the
Collateral in saleable or disposable form.
(b)
The
Secured Party shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose
of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale
or
otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash
or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such
time
or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as
the
Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall
be
required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand
upon or notice to the Debtors or right of redemption of any Debtor that are
hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other
transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable
law that cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being
sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and
equities of any Debtor, which are hereby waived and released.
7.
Applications
of Proceeds.
The
proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral
hereunder shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing,
processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without
limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith)
of
the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
Secured Party in enforcing their rights hereunder and in connection with
collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction
of
the Obligations, and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable
law, after which the Secured Party shall pay to the Debtors any surplus
proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral,
the
proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party
are legally entitled, the Debtors will be liable for the deficiency, together
with interest thereon, at the rate of 7.5% per annum or the lesser amount
permitted by applicable law (the “Default
Rate”),
and
the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect
such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor waives
all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the
repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due to the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party.
7
8.
Intentionally
Omitted.
9.
Responsibility
for Collateral.
Each
Debtor assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all
Collateral (except for such Collateral that is perfected by possession or
control and only to the extent such is in the possession of the Secured Party
or
its agent), and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by
reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or
its
unavailability for any reason.
10.
Security
Interest Absolute.
All
rights of the Secured Party and all Obligations of the Debtors hereunder shall
be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, the Promissory Notes or any other Transaction
Documents, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner
or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any
of
the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from the Promissory Notes or any other Transaction Document; (c)
any
exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release
or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for,
or
any guaranty, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; or
(d)
any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable
defense available to any Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part of the
Security Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid
and
performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the
Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the
running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. Each Debtor expressly
waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment
and
demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any
Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be
deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a
voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency
laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party
other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Debtors’ obligations
hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of
this
Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Each Debtor waives all right
to
require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or Debtor or
to
apply any Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal
assets, or to pursue any other remedy. Each Debtor waives any defense arising
by
reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation
secured hereby.
11.
Term
of Agreement.
This
Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate on the date on which all
payments under the Promissory Notes have been paid in full or have been
satisfied and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged. Upon such
termination, the Secured Party, at the request of the Debtors, will join in
executing any termination statement or similar statement with respect to any
financing statement or other security instrument executed and filed pursuant
to
this Agreement.

12.
Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

Each
Debtor authorizes the Secured Party, and does hereby make, constitute and

protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interest
granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement all as fully
and
effectually as the Debtors might or could do; and each Debtor hereby ratifies
all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable
for
the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations
shall be outstanding.
(b)
On a
continuing basis, each Debtor will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file
and
record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording agencies in
any
jurisdiction, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably
be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the Secured
Party, to perfect the Security Interest granted hereunder and otherwise to
carry
out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming
to
the Secured Party the grant or perfection of a perfected first priority security
interest in all the Collateral under the UCC (other than with respect to the
oil
and gas real property that forms a part of the Collateral, in which will be
created a perfected security interest in such property;
provided however, each Debtor has no knowledge of any prior liens on such oil
and gas interests such that alone or in the aggregate would that would be
materially adverse to the interests of the Secured Party thereon).
(c)
Each
Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as the Debtor’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and instead of the Debtor
and
in the name of the Debtor, from time to time in the Secured Party’s discretion,
to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Secured Party may
deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including
the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation
statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without
the
signature of such Debtor where permitted by law.

applicable.
14.
Other
Security.
To the
extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other
than
the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person,
firm, corporation or other entity, then the Secured Party shall have the right,
in their sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take
any
other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting
any
of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder.
15.
Best
Efforts for Licensed Collateral. Notwithstanding
any other provision contained herein or any of the other Transaction Documents,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Debtor hereby agrees that
with
respect to any part of the Collateral that may require the consent of any third
party or third parties in order for such Debtor to transfer and/or convey its
interest in and to such Collateral to the Secured Party, as may be required
in
accordance herewith, such Debtor agrees to and shall use its best efforts to
obtain such consents or approvals in as expedient manner as
possible.
16.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
No
course of dealing between any Debtor and the Secured Party, nor any failure
to
exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Promissory Notes shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
(b)
All
of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Collateral,
whether established hereby or by the Promissory Notes or by any other
Transaction Documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly

amended except by a written agreement specifically referring to this Agreement
and signed by the parties hereto.
(d)
In
the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited
or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless such provision is
narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited
or
unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this
Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective
to
the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without

Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto
and its successors and assigns.

Each
party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further
