under the Uniform Commercial Code in and to the Assets. The security
interest granted to the Seller in this Agreement shall be a first priority
security interest, prior and superior to the rights of all third parties
existing on the date of issuance of the Note. After the date of issuance of the
Note and at all times while the Note remains outstanding, Buyer may not issue
debt that contains equal or superior security interests in the Assets without
the express written consent of the Seller.
(c) Buyer
shall cooperate with the Seller, at Buyer’s expense, in perfecting the Seller’s
security interest in the Assets, including the execution of any financing
statements.
(d) Buyer
represents that it shall defend the Assets against the claims and demands of all
persons, firms and entities whomsoever. Assuming the Seller has taken all
required action to perfect a security interest in the Assets as provided by the
Uniform Commercial Code, the Buyer represents and warrants that the Seller will
have, a first priority perfected security interest in the Assets, prior and
superior to the rights of all third parties in the Assets existing on the date
of the issuance of the Note or arising after the date of the issuance of the
Note. Except as permitted by this Agreement, Buyer covenants and agrees that it
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Seller, (i) grant or create
or permit to attach or exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or other
encumbrance, or security interest on, of or in any of the Assets or any portion
of the Assets except those in favor of the Seller or existing liens on the
Assets which have been disclosed to the Buyer by the Seller in writing (“Permitted Liens”), (ii) permit
any levy or attachment to be made against the Assets or any portion of the
Assets, except those subject to the Permitted Liens, or (iii) permit any
financing statements to be on file with respect to any of the Assets, except
financing statements in favor of the Seller or those with respect to the
Permitted Liens. Buyer shall faithfully preserve and protect the
Seller’s security interest in the Assets and shall, at its own cost and expense,
cause, or assist the Seller to cause, that security interest to be perfected and
continue perfected so long as the Note or any portion of the Note is outstanding
or unpaid. For purposes of the perfection of the Seller’s security
interest in the Assets in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement,
Buyer shall, from time to time at the request of the Seller, file or record, or
cause to be filed or recorded, such instruments, documents and notices,
including assignments, financing statements and continuation statements, as the
Seller may reasonably deem necessary or advisable, from time to time, in order
to perfect and continue perfected such security interest. Buyer shall
do all such other acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other
instruments and documents, including further security agreements, pledges,
endorsements, assignments and notices, as the Seller in its discretion may
reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and
preserve the priority of such security interest as a first lien security
interest in the Assets prior to the rights of all third persons, firms and
entities, subject to the Permitted Liens and except as may be otherwise provided
in this Agreement.

(e) If
any one or more of the Events of Default, as such term is defined in the Note
(including the passage of applicable cure periods provided for in the Note)
shall occur or shall exist, the Seller may then or at any time thereafter, so
long as such default shall continue, foreclose the lien or security interest in
the Assets in any way permitted by law, or upon 30 days prior written notice to
the Buyer, sell any or all of the Assets at private sale at any time or place in
one or more sales, at such price or prices and upon such terms, either for cash
or on credit, as the Seller, in its sole discretion, may elect, or sell any or
all Assets at public auction, either for cash or on credit, as the Seller, in
its sole discretion, may elect, and at any such sale, the Seller may bid for and
become the purchaser of any or all of such Assets. Pending any such action the
Seller may liquidate the Assets.
(f)
If any one or more of the Events of Default, as such term is defined
in the Note (including the passage of applicable cure periods provided for in
the Note) shall occur or shall exist, the Seller may then, or at any time
thereafter, so long as such default shall continue, grant extensions to, or
adjust claims of, or make compromises or settlements with, debtors, guarantors
or any other parties with respect to the Assets or any securities, guarantees or
insurance applying thereon, without notice to or the consent of Buyer, without
affecting Buyer’s liability under this Agreement or the Note. Buyer
waives notice of acceptance, of nonpayment, protest or notice of protest of any
accounts or chattel paper or any of its contract rights and any other notices to
which the Buyer may be entitled.
(g) If
any one or more of the Events of Default, as such term is defined in the Note
(including the passage of applicable cure periods provided for in the Note)
shall occur or shall exist and be continuing, then in any such event, the Seller
shall have such additional rights and remedies in respect of the Assets or any
portion thereof as are provided by the Uniform Commercial Code and such other
rights and remedies in respect thereof which it may have at law or in equity or
under this Agreement.
(h) The
Seller shall apply the proceeds of any sale or liquidation of the Assets, first
to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Seller in
connection with such sale or collection, including without limitation reasonable
attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, second to the payment of the Note, whether
on account of principal or interest or otherwise as the Seller, in its sole
discretion, may elect, and then to pay the balance, if any, to the Buyer or as
otherwise required by law. If such proceeds are insufficient to pay
the amounts required by law, it shall be liable for any deficiency.

Price. Possession of the Assets shall be transferred from
Seller to Buyer at the Closing. Seller shall be entitled to any amounts realized
from and accruing to the Assets prior to the Closing Date, and shall be liable
for the payment of all expenses attributable to the Assets prior to the Closing
Date. Buyer shall be entitled to any amounts realized from and
accruing to the Assets and arising subsequent to the Closing Date, and shall be

to be excluded from said Subchapter K; and (b) if assumed by Buyer at Closing,
would not subject Buyer to any area of mutual interest, non-competition or
similar provision restricting Buyer from independently conducting operations in
any geographic area, except where such subjection to any tax partnership or
restriction on Buyer’s independent operation would not have a material adverse
effect upon the value of the Assets. Neither Seller nor any other party to the
Basic Documents: (i) is in breach or default, or with the lapse of time or the
giving of notice, or both, would be in breach or default, with respect to any of

contracts covering any of the Assets or conditions existing on or
resulting from the operations of the Assets that may give rise to any
on-site or off-site surface restoration or remedial obligations under any
environmental laws or any such agreements or contracts, except where such
violation or agreements or contracts would not have a material adverse
effect on the value of the
Assets;
|
(ii) without
limitation of clause (i) above, the Assets are not in violation of or subject to
any existing, pending or threatened action, suit, investigation, inquiry or
proceeding by or before any court, any applicable tribal authority or any other
Governmental Authority, except where such violation or subjection would not have
a material adverse effect on the value of the Assets;
(iii) during
the term of Seller’s ownership of the Assets (and prior thereto to the knowledge
of Seller), all notices, permits, licenses or similar authorizations, if any,
required to be obtained or filed in connection with the Assets, have been duly
obtained or filed, and Seller is in compliance with the terms and conditions of
all such notices, permits, licenses and similar authorizations, except where the
failure to obtain or file or noncompliance would not have a material adverse
effect on the value of the Assets; and

is acquiring the Note for investment for its own account and not with the view
to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution
thereof. Seller understands and acknowledges that the Note has not
been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason

relating to this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby. If
