SECURED PARTY:
THE BANK OF THE WEST
0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Suite 190
Oklahoma City, OK 73142
DEBTOR:
SBL, L.L.C.

The pronouns “you” and “your” refer to the Secured Party. The pronouns “I,” “me” and “my” refer to each person or entity signing this Agreement as Debtor and agreeing to give the Property described in this Agreement as security for the Secured Debts.
Where the owner of the Property is different from the borrower or guarantor whose obligation this Agreement secures, “Debtor” refers to each person or entity who is an owner of the Property and “Borrower” or “Guarantor,” as applicable, refer to such parties as designated in the SECURED DEBTS section.
1. SECURED DEBTS. The term “Secured Debts” includes and this Agreement will secure each of the following:
A. Specific Debts. The following debts and all extensions, renewals, refinancings, modifications and replacements. A promissory note or other agreement, No. 80831, dated March 5, 2012, from Golsen Family, L.L.C. (Borrower) to you, in the amount of $3,015,000.00.
B. All Debts. All present and future debts from Borrower to you, even if this Agreement is not specifically referenced, the future debts are also secured by other collateral, or if the future debt is unrelated to or of a different type than this debt. If more than one person signs this Agreement, each agrees that it will secure debts incurred either individually or with others who may not sign this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a commitment to make additional or future loans or advances. Any such commitment must be in writing.
This Agreement will not secure any debt for which you fail to give any required notice of the right of rescission. This Agreement will not secure any debt for which a non-possessory, non-purchase money security interest is created in “household goods” in connection with a “consumer loan,” as those terms are defined by federal law governing unfair and deceptive credit practices. In addition, this Agreement will not secure any other debt if, with respect to such other debt, you fail to fulfill any necessary requirements or limitations of Sections 19(a), 32 or 35 of Regulation Z or if, as a result, the other debt would become subject to Section 670 of the Xxxx Xxxxxx National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007.
C. Sums Advanced. All sums advanced and expenses incurred by you under the terms of this Agreement.
Loan Documents refer to all the documents executed in connection with the Secured Debts.
2. ASSIGNMENT. To secure the payment and performance of the Secured Debts, I assign and grant a security interest to you in all of the Property described in this Agreement that I own or have sufficient rights in which to transfer an interest, now or in the future, wherever the Property is or will be located, and all additions, proceeds, and products of the Property (including, but not limited to, all renewals, replacements, modifications and substitutions to the Property). Property is all the collateral given as security for the Secured Debts and described in this Agreement, and includes all obligations that support the payment or performance of the Property. “Proceeds” includes anything acquired upon the sale, lease, license, exchange, or other disposition of the Property; any rights and claims arising from the Property; and any collections and distributions on account of the Property.
Property also includes any original evidence of title or ownership. I will deliver any certificates, documents or instruments evidencing the Property and properly execute all items as necessary to reflect your security interest.
This Agreement remains in effect until terminated in writing, even if the Secured Debts are paid and you are no longer obligated to advance funds to me under any loan or credit agreement.
Upon termination of this Agreement, you will return to me all the Property in your possession which has not been used or applied toward payment of the Secured Debts. I agree that you may surrender the Property to any Debtor upon termination of this Agreement without further responsibility or liability.

Reasonable care will not include: any steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties; the duty to send notices, perform services or take any other action in connection with the management of the Property; or the duty to protect, preserve or maintain any security Interest given to others by me or other parties. Your authorization to perform for me will not create an obligation to perform and your failure to perform will not preclude you from exercising any other rights under the law or this Agreement.

Xxxxxx agrees that you and any party to this Agreement may extend, modify or make any change in the terms of this Agreement or any evidence of debt without Xxxxxx’s consent. Such a change will not release Debtor from the terms of this Agreement. If you assign any of the Secured Debts, you may assign all or any part of this Agreement without notice to me or my consent, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of your assignee to the extent of such assignment. You will continue to have the unimpaired right to enforce this Agreement as to any of the Secured Debts that are not assigned. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by you and your successors and assigns and any other person to whom you may grant an interest in the Secured Debts and shall be binding upon and enforceable against me and my personal representatives, successors, heirs and assigns.
13. AMENDMENT. INTEGRATION AND SEVERABILITY. This Agreement may not be amended or modified by oral agreement. No amendment or modification of this Agreement is effective unless made in writing and executed by you and me.

I will provide you any other, correct and complete information you request to effectively grant a security interest on the Property. I agree to sign, deliver, and file any additional documents or certifications that you may consider necessary to perfect, continue, and preserve my obligations under this Agreement and to confirm your lien status on any Property.
