pledge and hypothecate the Collateral as provided herein.
B. Title. Unless
otherwise indicated in Exhibit “A”, to the best of Debtor's knowledge the oil
and gas leases and licenses described in Exhibit “A” cover all of the oil, gas
and other Hydrocarbons in and under the Land. Debtor has good and defensible
title to the Collateral; and Debtor has good and defensible title to the
undivided interests in the leases, licenses, sublicenses, sublicensing,
easements, rights-of-way, agreements and other documents and instruments as
described in Exhibit “A” free and clear of all royalties and other burdens,
charges, liens, security interests, encumbrances, agreements, contracts,

and instruments described in Exhibit “A” have been paid. All xxxxx located on
the Land have been drilled, operated and produced in conformity with all
applicable laws and rules, regulations and orders of all regulatory authorities
having jurisdiction, and are subject to no penalties on account of past
production. To the best of Debtor's knowledge none of such xxxxx are deviated
from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by applicable laws, rules,
regulations and orders. To the best of Debtor's knowledge such xxxxx are in fact
bottomed under and are producing from, and the well bores are wholly within, the
lands described in Exhibit “A”. Debtor warrants and will forever defend the
title to the Collateral, subject to the aforesaid, against the claims of all
persons claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof by, through or under
the Debtor but not otherwise.
6
C. Working and Net Revenue
Interests.
(1) With
respect to each of the oil and gas leases and xxxxx described in Exhibit “A”,
Debtor’s share of development and operating costs with respect to the portion of
the Land covered thereby as described in Exhibit “A”, without regard to pooling
and unitization, is not greater than the “Working Interest” or “WI” specified in
Exhibit “A”; and Debtor’s share of the gross production of all oil, gas and
other Hydrocarbons produced, saved and marketed from said Land, without regard
to pooling and unitization, is no less than the “Net Revenue Interest” or “NRI”
specified in Exhibit “A”.

respect to each of the overriding royalty interests described in Exhibit “A”,
Debtor’s share of the gross production of oil, gas and other Hydrocarbons
produced, saved and marketed from the portion of the Land subject thereto as
described in Exhibit “A”, is no less than the percentage specified in Exhibit
“A”.
(3) With
respect to each of the mineral interests described in Exhibit “A”, Debtor’s
share of the oil, gas and other Hydrocarbons in and under and that may be
produced, saved and marketed from the portion of the Land subject thereto as
described in Exhibit “A” is no less than the stated percentage specified in
Exhibit “A”.
(4) With
respect to each of the royalty interests described in Exhibit “A”, Debtor’s
share of the gross production of oil, gas and other Hydrocarbons produced, saved
and marketed from the portion of the Land subject thereto as described in
Exhibit “A” is no less than the percentage specified in Exhibit
“A”.
(5) With
respect to each of the units and pools described in Exhibit “A”, Debtor’s share
of development and operating costs with respect to the portion of the Land
covered thereby as described in Exhibit “A” or in the agreements creating such

is no greater than the “Working Interest” or “WI” specified in Exhibit “A”; and
Debtor’s share of the gross production of oil, gas and other Hydrocarbons
produced, saved and marketed from said Land and said xxxxx is no less than the
“Net Revenue Interest” or “NRI” specified in Exhibit “A”.
All such
shares of development and operating costs and of gross production are not and
will not be subject to change (other than changes that arise pursuant to
nonconsent provisions of operating agreements described in Exhibit “A” in
connection with operations hereafter proposed) except, and only to the extent
that such changes are reflected in Exhibit “A”.
7
D. Operations of Oil and Gas
Properties. The Collateral (and all properties spaced,
communitized, unitized or otherwise aggregated therewith) will be maintained,
operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity in all
material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of all
federal, state, tribal and local governmental bodies, authorities and agencies
and in conformity in all material respects with the provisions of all leases,
subleases or other contracts and agreements comprising a part of the
Collateral. To the best of Debtor's knowledge none of the Collateral
is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and regular
allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of an
overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) prior to
the date hereof.
E. Sale of
Production.
(1) All
proceeds from the sale of Debtor’s interests in Hydrocarbons from the Collateral
are currently being paid in full to Debtor by the purchaser or remitter thereof
on a timely basis and at prices and terms comparable to market prices and terms
generally available at the time such prices and terms were negotiated for oil
and gas production from producing areas situated near the Collateral, and none
of such proceeds are currently being held in suspense by such purchaser or any
other party.
(2) Neither
Debtor, nor to the best of Debtor's knowledge its predecessors in title, have
entered into or are subject to any agreement or arrangement (including “take or

Collateral subject to any such agreement or arrangement, to deliver Hydrocarbons
produced or to be produced from the Collateral at some future time without then
or thereafter receiving full payment therefor.
(3) To the
best of Debtor's knowledge none of the Collateral is or will become subject to
any contractual or other arrangement whereby payment for production from such
Collateral is to be deferred for a substantial period after the month in which
such production is delivered (that is, in the case of oil, not in excess of 60
days, and in the case of gas, not in excess of 90 days).
(4) Except
for existing production sales contracts, processing agreements or transportation
agreements, none of the Collateral is or will become subject to any contractual
or other arrangement for the sale of crude oil that cannot be canceled on 180
days’ or less notice; and none of the Collateral is or will become subject to a
gas sales contract that contains terms that are not customary in the
industry.
(5) To the
best of Debtor's knowledge none of the Collateral is subject at the present time
to any regulatory refund obligation and, no facts exist that might cause the
same to be imposed.
(6) None of
the Collateral is subject to a gas balancing arrangement under which an
imbalance exists with respect to which imbalance Debtor or the Collateral is in
an overproduced status and is required to (i) permit one or more third
parties to take a portion of the production attributable to such Collateral
without payment (or without full payment) therefor or (ii) make payment in
cash, in order to correct such imbalance.
F. Condition of Personal
Property. The inventory, equipment, fixtures and other
tangible personal property and fixtures forming a part of the Collateral are in
good repair and condition. All of such Collateral is located on the
Land.
8
G. Contracts and
Agreements. Except for contracts and agreements that do not
have a material effect on the use, ownership, value or operation of the
Collateral, to the best of Debtor's knowledge Exhibit “A” sets forth all
operating agreements, equipment leases, production sales, purchase, exchange or
processing agreements, transportation or gathering agreements, farmout or farmin
agreements, disposal agreements, area of mutual interest agreements and other
contracts and agreements that cover, effect or otherwise relate to the Land or
the leases, licenses, subleases, sublicenses, easements, rights-of-way,
agreements and other documents and instruments described in Exhibit “A” that
relate to operations thereon, or the production, treatment, storage, gathering,
transportation, handling, processing, manufacturing, sale or marketing of
hydrocarbons produced therefrom or allocated or attributed thereto.
H. Consents and Preferential
Rights to Purchase. Except as specifically set forth in
Exhibit “A”, to the best of Debtor's knowledge there are no preferential rights
to purchase all or any portion of the Collateral and there are no rights of
third parties to consent to the transfer of all or any portion of the
Collateral.
I. Taxes. To
the best of Debtor's knowledge all ad valorem, property, production, severance,
excise and similar taxes and assessments based on or measured by the ownership
of property or the production of Hydrocarbons or the receipt of proceeds
therefrom relating to the Collateral that have become due and payable have been
properly and timely paid.
J. Federal State and Tribal
Interests Leases. Debtor is duly qualified to own, hold and
operate leases, easements, rights-of-way, mineral agreements and other
agreements covering, affecting or otherwise relating to federal, state and
tribal lands (including leases, easements and rights-of-way issued by the Bureau
of Land Management; leases, easements and rights-of-way issued by the Bureau of
Indian Affairs; and leases, easements, rights-of-way, mineral agreements and
other agreements with tribal governments or agencies or allottees).
K. Environmental
Matters.
(1) To the
best of Debtor's knowledge the Collateral is being, operated in compliance with
all applicable Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined); and no conditions
exist on or with respect to the Collateral or, on any property adjoining the
Collateral that would subject Debtor, Secured Party or the owner of any
adjoining property to any damages (including actual, consequential, exemplary
and punitive damages), penalties, injunctive relief or cleanup costs under any
Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), or that require or are likely to
require cleanup, removal, remedial action or other response by Debtor, Secured
Party or the owner of any adjoining property pursuant to any Environmental
Laws. Debtor is not a party to any litigation or administrative
proceeding, nor, to the best of Debtor’s knowledge, is any litigation,
administrative proceeding or investigation threatened against Debtor or the
Collateral, that asserts or alleges that Debtor or its predecessors in title to
the Collateral violated or are violating Environmental Laws or that Debtor or
such predecessors are required to clean up, remove or take remedial or other
responsive action due to the use, storage, treatment, disposal, discharge,
leaking or release of any Hazardous Substances or Solid Waste (as such terms are
hereinafter defined). Neither Debtor nor to the best of Debtor's
knowledge such predecessors or any part of the Collateral is subject to any
judgment, decree, order or citation related to or arising out of Environmental
Laws and Debtor has not been named or listed as a potentially responsible party
by any governmental or other entity in a matter arising under or relating to any
Environmental Laws. This representation shall continue to be true and
correct following disclosure to the applicable governmental authorities of all
relevant facts, conditions, and circumstances, if any, pertaining to the
Collateral or to Debtor.
9
(2) Debtor
undertook, at the time of acquisition of the Collateral, all appropriate inquiry
into the previous ownership and uses of the Collateral consistent with good
commercial and industry practice. To the best of Debtor's knowledge
no Hazardous Substances or Solid Waste have been disposed of or otherwise
released on, to or from the Collateral, except in full compliance with all
Environmental Laws. The use which Debtor makes and intends to make of
the Collateral will not result in the use or storage of any Hazardous Substances
or Solid Waste on, in or in connection with the Collateral, or disposal from the
Collateral, except in full compliance with all Environmental Laws, or result in
any requirement that Debtor apply for or obtain a permit under RCRA (as
hereinafter defined) or other Environmental Law for the treatment, storage or
disposal of Hazardous Substances or Solid Waste. To the best of
Debtor's knowledge there are no regulated underground storage tanks located on
or in the Collateral.

term “release” shall have the meaning specified in CERCLA, and the terms “Solid Waste,”
“disposal” or “disposed” shall have the meaning specified in RCRA. In
the event CERCLA, RCRA or any other applicable Environmental Law is amended so
as to broaden the meaning of any terms defined thereby, such broader meaning
shall apply subsequent to the effective date of such amendment; and to the
extent that the laws of any state in which the Collateral are located establish
a meaning for “hazardous substance,” “release,” “solid waste,” “hazardous
wastes,” or “disposal” that is broader than that specified in either CERCLA or
RCRA, such broader meaning shall apply.

Status. Debtor is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Sections 1445 and

Collateral, Debtor shall promptly give written notice thereof to Secured Party
and, to the extent the same arises by, through or under Debtor, at Debtor’s own
expense shall take all reasonable steps diligently to defend against any such
attack or proceedings, employing attorneys acceptable to Secured
Party. Secured Party and may take such independent action in
connection therewith as it may in its discretion deem advisable, and all costs
and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by or on
behalf of Secured Party in connection therewith, to the extent the same arises
by, through or under Debtor, shall be a demand obligation owing by Debtor to
Secured Party and shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid, and shall
constitute a part of the Obligations and be indebtedness secured and evidenced
by this Instrument.
12
G. Environmental
Matters. (1) Debtor
shall comply with all Environmental Laws and shall maintain and obtain all
permits, licenses and approvals required under Environmental
Laws. Debtor shall not cause or permit the Collateral or Debtor to be
in violation of, or do anything or permit anything to be done that will subject
the Collateral, Debtor or Secured Party to any remedial obligations under any
applicable Environmental Laws, assuming disclosure to the applicable
governmental authorities of all relevant facts, conditions and circumstances, if
any, pertaining to the Collateral or otherwise. Debtor shall promptly
notify Secured Party in writing of any existing, pending or threatened
investigation or inquiry by any governmental authority in connection with any
applicable Environmental Laws. Debtor shall take all steps necessary
to determine that no Hazardous Substances or Solid Waste have been used or
stored on, in or in connection with the Collateral, or disposed of or otherwise
released on, to or from the Collateral, except in full compliance with all
Environmental Laws. Debtor shall not cause or permit the use or
storage of Hazardous Substances or Solid Waste on, in or in connection with the
Collateral or disposal of Hazardous Substances or Solid Waste from the
Collateral, except in full compliance with all Environmental Laws, or make any
use of the Collateral that results in any requirement that Debtor apply for or
obtain a permit under RCRA or other Environmental Law for the treatment, storage
or disposal of Hazardous Substances or Solid Waste. Debtor covenants
and agrees to keep or cause the Collateral to be kept free of any Hazardous
Substances or Solid Waste except in full compliance with all Environmental Laws,
and, promptly upon the discovery that the presence of any such substance on the
Collateral is not in full compliance, to remove the same (or if removal is
prohibited by law, to take whatever action is required by law) at its sole
expense. Upon Secured Party’s reasonable request based upon the
condition of or operations on the Collateral, at any time and from time to time,
Debtor shall provide at Debtor’s sole expense inspections, tests and audits of
the Collateral from an engineering or consulting firm approved by Secured Party
indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances or Solid Waste on, in
or under the Collateral that are not in compliance with applicable Environmental
Laws. If Debtor fails to provide same after 20 days’ notice, Secured
Party may order same, and Debtor grants to Secured Party and its respective
employees, agents, contractors, designees and consultants access to the
Collateral and a license (which is coupled with an interest and irrevocable) to
perform inspections, tests and audits. The cost of such inspections,
tests and audits shall be a demand obligation owing by Debtor to Secured Party
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid, and shall constitute a
part of the Obligations and be indebtedness secured and evidenced by this
Instrument. Nothing contained herein shall relieve Debtor from
conducting its own inspections, tests and audits or taking any other steps
necessary to comply with all Environmental Laws, nor shall anything contained
herein be construed to imply or impose any duty on Secured Party concerning
Debtor’s compliance or noncompliance therewith. Secured Party’s
rights under this paragraph are for the sole purpose of protecting Secured
Party’s security for the repayment of the Obligations and shall not under any
circumstances be construed as granting the right to participate or constitute
participation in the management of the Collateral or the business conducted
thereon.
13
H. Change in
Debtor. Debtor
shall not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity, corporate
structure or state of organization, unless Debtor shall have notified Secured
Party of such change at least thirty days prior to the effective date of such
change, and shall have first taken all action required by Secured Party for the
purpose of further perfecting or protecting the security interest in favor of
Secured Party in the Collateral. In any notice furnished pursuant to
this Subsection 2.2H., Debtor shall expressly state that the notice is
required by this Instrument and contains facts that may require additional
filings of financing statements or other notices for the purposes of continuing
perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.
I. Further
Assurances. Debtor
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged or
delivered, to Secured Party such other and further instruments and do such other
acts as in the reasonable opinion of Secured Party may be necessary or desirable
to effect the intent of this Instrument, promptly upon request of Secured Party
and at Debtor’s expense.
Section
2.3 Costs, Expenses and
Indemnities. Debtor
agrees to pay and indemnify Secured Party as follows:
A. Costs and
Expenses. Debtor
shall indemnify Secured Party from and reimburse and pay Secured Party for all
fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, court costs and legal
expenses and consultant’s and expert’s fees and expenses), incurred or expended
by Secured Party in connection with (1) the breach by Debtor of any
representation or warranty contained in this Instrument, the Credit Agreement,
the Note or any other documents and instruments evidencing, securing or
otherwise relating to the Obligations; (2) the failure by Debtor to perform
any agreement, covenant, condition, indemnity or obligation contained in this
Instrument, the Credit Agreement, the Note or any other documents and
instruments evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations;
(3) Secured Party’s exercise of any of its rights and remedies under this
Instrument, the Credit Agreement, the Note and the other documents and
instruments evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations; or
(4) the protection of the Collateral and the liens thereon and security
interests therein. All such fees, costs and expenses shall be a
demand obligation owing by Debtor to Secured Party and shall bear interest at
the Default Rate until paid, and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and
be indebtedness secured and evidenced by this Instrument. The
liabilities of Debtor as set forth in this Section 2.3A shall survive the
termination of this Instrument.
14
B. Indemnity. Debtor
shall indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party and persons or entities owned or
controlled by or affiliated with Secured Party and their respective directors,
officers, shareholders, partners, employees, consultants and agents (herein
individually, an “Indemnified Party,”
and collectively, “Indemnified Parties”)
from and against, and reimburse and pay Indemnified Parties with respect to, any
and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages (including actual,
consequential, exemplary and punitive damages), causes of action, judgments,
penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, court costs and
legal expenses and consultant’s and expert’s fees and expenses), of any and
every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, that may be
imposed upon, asserted against or incurred or paid by or on behalf of any
Indemnified Party on account of, in connection with, or arising out of
(1) any bodily injury or death or property damage occurring in or upon or
in the vicinity of the Collateral through any cause whatsoever, (2) any act
performed or omitted to be performed hereunder or the breach of or failure to
perform any warranty, representation, indemnity, covenant, agreement or
condition contained in this Instrument, the Credit Agreement, the Note or any
other documents and instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the
Obligations, (3) any transaction, act, omission, event or circumstance
arising out of or in any way connected with the Collateral or with this
Instrument, the Credit Agreement, the Note or any other documents and
instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the Obligations, and
(4) the violation of or failure to comply with any statute, law, rule,
regulation or order, including Environmental Laws and statutes, laws, rules,
regulations and orders relating to Hazardous Substances or Solid
Waste. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the
intention of Debtor and Debtor agrees that the foregoing indemnities shall apply
to each Indemnified Party with respect to claims, demands, liabilities, losses,
damages (including actual, consequential, exemplary and punitive damages),
causes of action, judgments, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees, court costs and legal expenses and consultant’s and expert’s
fees and expenses) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed
or contingent, that in whole or in part are caused by or arise out of the
negligence of such Indemnified Party; however, such indemnities shall not apply
to any Indemnified Party to the extent the subject of the indemnification is
caused by or arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party. The foregoing indemnities shall not terminate upon
the release, foreclosure or other termination of this Instrument, but shall
survive the foreclosure of the liens and security interests created by this
Instrument or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure and the repayment and
performance of the Obligations and the discharge and release of the liens and
security interest created by this Instrument and the other instruments and
documents evidencing, securing or relating to the Obligations. Any
amount to be paid hereunder by Debtor to Secured Party or for which Debtor has
indemnified an Indemnified Party shall be a demand obligation owing by Debtor to
Secured Party and shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid, and shall
constitute a part of the Obligations and be indebtedness secured and evidenced
by this Instrument. The rights, powers and remedies herein conferred
are cumulative, and not exclusive, of any and all other rights, powers and
remedies existing at law or in equity (including rights, powers and remedies
under Environmental Laws) or provided for in any other documents or instruments
evidencing, securing or relating to the Obligations and nothing in this
paragraph or elsewhere in this Instrument or in any other documents or
instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the Obligations shall limit or
impair any rights, powers or remedies of Secured Party under any Environmental
Laws, including any rights of contribution or indemnification available
thereunder. The liabilities of Debtor as set forth in this Section 2.3B
shall survive the termination of this Instrument.
15
Section
2.4 Performance by Secured
Party. Debtor
agrees that, if Debtor fails to perform any act which Debtor is required to
perform hereunder, Secured Party may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or
cause to be performed such act, and any expense so incurred by Secured Party in
connection therewith shall be a demand obligation owing by Debtor to Secured
Party and shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid, and shall
constitute a part of the Obligations and be indebtedness secured and evidenced
by this Instrument, and Secured Party shall be subrogated to all of the rights
of the party receiving such payment. Debtor hereby irrevocably
appoints Secured Party as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full
authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or
otherwise, from time to time to take any action and to execute any instrument
which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
of this Agreement. Such appointment is coupled with an interest and
shall be irrevocable from the date hereof and so long as any part of the
Obligations is outstanding.
ARTICLE
III
Collection of Proceeds of
Production
Section
3.1 Assignment of
Proceeds. Pursuant
to paragraph C of the granting clause of this Instrument, Secured Party is
absolutely assigned and entitled to receive all of the severed and extracted
Hydrocarbons produced from or allocated or attributed to all of the Collateral,
together with all of the proceeds thereof and payments in lieu thereof such as
“take or pay” or similar payments. Debtor acknowledges and agrees
that said assignment is intended to be an absolute and unconditional assignment
and not merely a pledge of or creation of a security interest in said
Hydrocarbons and proceeds or an assignment as additional security upon demand
and in the event of default. Debtor shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, transfer orders or
letters-in-lieu thereof directing all pipeline companies or other purchasers of
Hydrocarbons to make payments directly to Secured Party. All parties
producing, purchasing, receiving or having in their possession any such
Hydrocarbons or proceeds are hereby authorized and directed by Debtor to treat
and regard Secured Party as the party entitled in Debtor’s place and stead to
receive such Hydrocarbons and proceeds; and said parties shall be fully
protected in so treating and regarding Secured Party and shall be under no
obligation to see to the application by Secured Party of any such proceeds
received by it. For its convenience, Secured Party may, with respect
to any or all such Hydrocarbons or proceeds, permit Debtor to receive such
Hydrocarbons or proceeds until such time as Secured Party shall have made
written demand therefor. Such election by Secured Party shall not in
any way waive the right of Secured Party to demand and receive such Hydrocarbons
and proceeds thereafter allocated or attributed to the Collateral and shall not
in any way diminish the absolute and unconditional right of Secured Party to
receive all of such Hydrocarbons and proceeds and cash proceeds not theretofore
expended or distributed by Debtor. Any such Hydrocarbons or proceeds
received by Debtor shall, when received, constitute trust funds in Debtor’s
hands and shall be held by Debtor for the benefit of Secured
Party. Debtor hereby agrees that upon the first to occur of either
(A) written demand of Secured Party, or (B) the occurrence of any
event which constitutes an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) or which
upon the giving (or receiving) of notice or lapse of time, or both, would
constitute such an Event of Default, all cash, proceeds, instruments and other
property, of whatever kind or character, received by Debtor on account of the
Collateral, whether received by Debtor in the exercise of its collection rights
hereunder or otherwise, shall, in accordance with instructions then given by
Secured Party, be remitted to Secured Party or deposited to an account
designated by Secured Party, in the form received (properly assigned or endorsed
to the order of Secured Party or for collection and in accordance with Secured
Party’s instructions) not later than the first banking business day following
the day of receipt, to be applied as provided in Section 3.2 hereof and, until
so applied, may be held by Secured Party in a separate account on which Debtor
may not draw. Debtor agrees not to commingle any such property,
following the receipt of any such demand from Secured Party or the occurrence of
an Event of Default, with any of its other funds or property and agrees to hold
the same upon an express trust for Secured Party until remitted to Secured
Party.
16
Section
3.2 Application of
Proceeds. Secured
Party shall apply all of the proceeds received pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof in
satisfaction of the Obligations as provided below, unless otherwise agreed to by
Secured Party and Debtor. All such proceeds received and to be
applied by Secured Party up to the close of business on the last day of each
calendar month shall be applied by Secured Party on or before the fifth business
day of the next succeeding calendar month as follows (with any balance remaining
after such application to be paid to Debtor):
A. First, to
the payment to Secured Party of all outstanding or unreimbursed fees, costs and
expenses incurred by Secured Party pursuant hereto, and any part of the
Obligations not evidenced by written instrument, including all charges and
penalties, including interest thereon, due Secured Party;
B. Second,
to the payment of all interest accrued on the Obligations; and
C. Third, to
the payment or prepayment of the principal of the Obligations in any order the
Secured Party may elect from time to time.
If any
date of application specified above shall be a Saturday, Sunday or legal
holiday, the proceeds to be applied by Secured Party pursuant to this Section
3.2 shall be applied on the business day next succeeding such date which is not
a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and the amount to be applied as described
above shall be the amount accrued up to such date. If the proceeds
received by Secured Party pursuant to Section 3.1 during any month are not
sufficient to make the minimum payments of principal of and interest on the
Obligations required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or the Note, then
Debtor on or before the due date shall make payment to Secured Party of an
amount sufficient when added to such proceeds received to make the minimum
required payments of principal and interest of the Obligations.
Section
3.3 Inclusion in
Sale
. Upon
any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to ARTICLE V hereof and expiration of
any mandatory redemption periods, the Hydrocarbons thereafter produced from or
attributed to the part of the Collateral so sold, and the proceeds thereof,
shall be included in such sale and shall pass to the purchaser free and clear of
the provisions of this ARTICLE III.
17
Section
3.4 No Liability in Secured
Party. Secured
Party is hereby absolved from all liability for failure to enforce collection of
any such proceeds and from all other responsibility in connection therewith,
except the responsibility to account to Debtor for proceeds actually
received.
Section
3.5 Indemnity. Debtor
shall indemnify Secured Party against all claims, actions, liabilities,
judgments, costs, attorneys’ fees or other charges of every kind or nature
(“Claims”) made against or incurred by Secured Party as a consequence of the
assertion, either before or after the payment in full of the Obligations, that
Secured Party received Hydrocarbons or proceeds pursuant to this ARTICLE III
which were claimed by third persons. Secured Party shall have the
right to employ attorneys and to defend against any Claims, and unless furnished
with reasonable indemnity, Secured Party shall have the right to pay or
compromise and adjust all Claims. Debtor shall indemnify and pay to
Secured Party all such amounts as may be paid with respect thereto or as may be
successfully adjudicated against Secured Party, and such amounts shall be a
demand obligation owing by Debtor to Secured Party and shall bear interest at
the Default Rate until paid, and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and
be indebtedness secured and evidenced by this Instrument. The
liabilities of Debtor as set forth in this Section 3.5 shall survive the
termination of this Instrument.
Section
3.6 Rights of Secured
Party. Secured
Party shall have the immediate and continuing right to demand, collect, receive
and receipt for all production, proceeds and payments assigned hereunder, and
Secured Party is hereby appointed agent and attorney-in-fact of Debtor (which
appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) for the purpose of
executing any release, receipt, division order, transfer order, relinquishment
or other instrument that Secured Party deems necessary in order for Secured
Party to collect and receive such production, proceeds and
payments. In addition, Debtor agrees that, upon the request of
Secured Party, it will promptly execute and deliver to Secured Party such
transfer orders, payment orders, division orders and other instruments as
Secured Party may deem necessary, convenient or appropriate in connection with
the payment and delivery directly to Secured Party of all proceeds, production,
and payments assigned hereunder. Debtor hereby authorizes and directs
that, upon the request of Secured Party, all pipeline companies, purchasers,
transporters and other parties now or hereafter purchasing oil, gas or other
mineral production produced from or allocated or attributed to the Collateral or
any other interest of Debtor (whether now owned or hereafter acquired by
operation of law or otherwise), in, to or relating to the Land or to any of the
estates, property, rights or other interests included in the Collateral, or any
part thereof, or now or hereafter having in their possession or control any
production from or allocated to the Collateral or any other interest of Debtor
(whether now owned or hereafter acquired by operation of law or otherwise), in,
to or relating to the Land or to any of the estates, property, rights or other
interests included in the Collateral, or any part thereof, or the proceeds
therefrom, or now or hereafter otherwise owing monies to Debtor under contracts
and agreements herein assigned, shall, until Secured Party directs otherwise,
pay and deliver such proceeds, production or amounts directly to Secured Party
at Secured Party’s address set forth in the introduction to this Instrument, or
in such other manner as Secured Party may direct such parties in writing, and
this authorization shall continue until the assignment of production and
proceeds contained herein is released and reassigned. Debtor agrees
that all division orders, transfer orders, receipts and other instruments that
Secured Party may from time to time execute and deliver for the purpose of
collecting and receipting for such proceeds, production or payments may be
relied upon in all respects, and that the same shall be binding upon Debtor and
its successors and assigns. No payor making payments to Secured Party
at its request under the assignment of production and proceeds contained herein
shall have any responsibility to see to the application of any of such funds,
and any party paying or delivering proceeds, production or amounts to Secured
Party under such assignments shall be released thereby from any and all
liability to Debtor to the full extent and amount of all payments, production or
proceeds so delivered. Debtor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
any and all parties making payments to Secured Party, at the request of the
Secured Party under the assignment of production and proceeds contained herein,
against any and all liabilities, actions, claims, judgments, costs, charges and
attorneys’ fees and legal expenses resulting from the delivery of such payments
to Secured Party. The indemnity agreement contained in the previous
sentence is made for the direct benefit of and shall be enforceable by all such
persons and shall survive the termination of this Instrument. Should
Secured Party bring suit against any third party for collection of any amounts
or sums included within the assignment of production and proceeds contained
herein (and Secured Party shall have the right to bring any such suit), it may
xxx either in its own name or in the name of Debtor, or both.
18
Section
3.7 Change of
Connection. Should
any purchaser taking the production from the Collateral or any other interest of
Debtor (whether now owned or hereafter acquired by operation of law or
otherwise), in, to or relating to the Land or to any of the estates, property,
rights or other interests included in the Collateral, or any part thereof, fail
to make any payment promptly to Secured Party, in accordance with the assignment
of production and proceeds herein made, then Secured Party, to the fullest
extent permissible under applicable law, shall have the right to demand a change
of connection and to designate another purchaser with whom a new connection may
be made, without any liability on the part of Secured Party in making such
selection; and failure of Debtor to consent to and promptly effect such change
of connection shall constitute an Event of Default under ARTICLE V
below.
Section
3.8 No Delegation or
Assumption. Nothing
in this Instrument shall be deemed or construed to create a delegation to or
assumption by Secured Party, of the duties and obligations of Debtor under any
agreement or contract relating to the Collateral or any portion thereof, and all
of the parties to any such contract shall continue to look to Debtor for
performance of all covenants and other obligations and the satisfaction of all
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of
Debtor thereunder, notwithstanding the assignment of production and proceeds
contained herein or the exercise by Secured Party, prior to foreclosure, of any
of its rights hereunder or under applicable law.
Section
3.9 Cumulative. The
assignment of production and proceeds contained herein shall not be construed to
limit in any way the other rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder,
including its right to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced by the Obligations
upon an Event of Default and the other rights and remedies herein conferred,
conferred in the other documents and instruments evidencing, securing or
relating to the Obligations, or conferred by operation of law. Monies
received under the assignment of production and proceeds contained herein shall
not be deemed to have been applied in payment of the Obligations unless and
until such monies actually are applied thereto by Secured Party.

Release
Section
4.1 Release Upon
Termination. If
all of the Obligations shall be paid in full and otherwise satisfied pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Instrument and the other documents and
instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the Obligations, and if Secured
Party has no further obligation to advance any amounts to Debtor, then all of
the Collateral shall revert to Debtor, the liens and security interests created
by this Instrument shall terminate and Secured Party shall, promptly after the
request of Debtor or as otherwise required by applicable law, execute,

Instrument on the remainder of the Collateral. Except as specifically
provided in any such partial release or reconveyance (A) this Instrument
and liens and security interests created hereby shall remain in full force and
effect, (B) such partial release or reconveyance will not modify or affect
the terms, conditions or provisions of this Instrument, and (C) nothing
contained in any such partial release or reconveyance shall be deemed to be, or
construed as, a waiver of any such terms, conditions or provisions or as a
waiver of any other term, condition or provision.

releases and reconveyances executed in connection with this Instrument shall be
without warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory.

shall pay all legal fees and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by Secured
Party for preparing and reviewing instruments of termination and release or
reconveyance and the execution and delivery thereof and Secured Party may
require payment of the same prior to delivery of such
instruments. The release and reconveyance of this Instrument and the
termination of the liens and security interests created by this Instrument,
shall not terminate or otherwise affect Secured Party’s right or ability to
exercise any right, power or remedy relating to any claim for breach of warranty
or representation, for failure to perform any covenant or other agreement, under
any indemnity or for fraud, deceit or other misrepresentation or
omission.
ARTICLE

exercise such rights as apply to the type of property selected.
Section
5.3 Acceleration and
Foreclosure. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, in addition to any other rights, powers and remedies herein
conferred or conferred by operation of law, (a) Secured Party shall have
all of the rights, powers and remedies of a creditor, secured party and
mortgagee, (b) Secured Party may, without notice, demand or declaration of
default, which are hereby waived by Debtor to the extent such waiver is not
prohibited by applicable law, declare all indebtedness secured hereby due and
payable, and (c) whether or not Secured Party exercises such option, it
may, at its option and in its sole discretion, without any prior notice to or
demand upon Debtor, proceed by one or more actions in equity or at law for the
seizure and sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, for the foreclosure
or sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof by judicial foreclosure by
appropriate proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, by the power of
sale granted herein, or in any other manner then permitted by law, for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement of Debtor herein contained or
in aid of the execution of any right, power or remedy herein granted, or for the
enforcement of any other appropriate equitable or legal remedy and to recover
judgment against Debtor. In furtherance, and not in limitation,
thereof:
A. Mortgage. This
Instrument shall constitute a mortgage under applicable law, and if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may be foreclosed as to any of
the Collateral by judicial action or in any manner then permitted by applicable
law.
B. Election. In
the event a sale of the Collateral under the power of sale shall be commenced by
Secured Party, Secured Party may at any time before the sale of the Collateral,
elect to abandon the sale, and Secured Party may then institute a suit for the
collection of the Obligations and for the foreclosure of this Instrument by
judicial action. It is agreed that if Secured Party should institute
a suit for the foreclosure of this Instrument by judicial action, Secured Party
may at any time before the entry of a final judgment, dismiss such suit, and
then sell, or cause to be sold, the Collateral under the power of sale herein
granted in accordance with the provisions of this Instrument.
21
C. Additional
Actions. This Instrument shall also constitute and may be
enforced from time to time as an assignment, chattel mortgage, contract,
mortgage, financing statement and security agreement, and from time to time as
any one or more thereof as appropriate under applicable law. Secured
Party shall be entitled to all of the rights, remedies and benefits of a secured
party, mortgagee and a beneficiary granted under applicable law; and, to the
fullest extent of such law, shall be entitled to enforce such rights, remedies
and benefits. Debtor intends and hereby grants to Secured Party all
rights, powers and remedies accorded a secured party, mortgagee and a
beneficiary under applicable law whether or not such rights, powers and remedies
are expressly granted or reserved herein.
D. Notice, Place and Manner of
Sale. Any sale of the Collateral under this ARTICLE V
shall take place at such place or places and otherwise in such manner and upon
such notice as may be required by law; or, in the absence of any such
requirement, as Secured Party may deem appropriate. Debtor expressly
agrees that, except as may be required by applicable law, Secured Party may
offer the Collateral as a whole or in such parcels or lots as Secured Party
elects, regardless of the manner in which the Collateral may be
described.
E. Postponement of
Sale. Any sale of the Collateral conducted under this
ARTICLE V may be postponed from time to time as provided by applicable law;
or, in the absence of any such provisions, Secured Party may postpone the sale
of the Collateral or any part thereof by public announcement at the time and
place of such sale, and from time to time thereafter may further postpone such
sale by public announcement made at the time of sale fixed by the preceding
postponement. Sale of a part of the Collateral will not exhaust the
power of sale, and sales may be made from time to time until all Collateral is
sold or the Obligations are paid in full.
F. Secured Party’s Right to
Purchase. Secured Party shall have the right to bid or to
become the purchaser at any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this
ARTICLE V, and shall have the right to credit upon the amount of the bid
made therefor the amount payable to it out of the net proceeds of such
sale.
22
G. Conveyance to
Purchaser. Any deed, xxxx of sale or other conveyance executed
by or on behalf of Secured Party, the sheriff or other official or party
responsible for conducting the sale shall be prima facie evidence of the
compliance with all statutory requirements for the sale and execution of such
deed, xxxx of sale or other conveyance and will conclusively establish the truth
and accuracy of the recitals and other matters stated therein, including
nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations, violation of the terms and
covenants contained herein, and the advertisement and conduct of such sale in
the manner provided herein or as provided by applicable law. Debtor,
to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, does hereby ratify and confirm
all legal acts that Secured Party may do in carrying out the provisions of this
Instrument. Any sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE V will operate to divest all
right, title, interest, claim and demand of Debtor in and to the property sold
and will be a perpetual bar against Debtor and shall, subject to applicable law,
vest title in the purchaser free and clear of all liens, security interests and
encumbrances, including liens, security interests and encumbrances junior or
subordinate to the liens, security interests and encumbrances created by this
Instrument. Upon any sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE V, the receipt by Secured Party,
the sheriff or other official or party responsible for conducting the sale,
shall be sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for the
purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers and the heirs, devisees,
personal representatives, successors and assigns thereof shall not, after paying
such purchase money and receiving such receipt of Secured Party, the sheriff or
such other official or party, be obliged to see to the application thereof or be
in anywise answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication
thereof. Any purchaser at a sale will, subject to mandatory
redemption periods, if any, receive immediate possession of the Collateral
purchased, and Debtor agrees that if Debtor retains possession of the Collateral
or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Debtor will be considered a tenant
at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Debtor remains in possession after
demand to remove, be guilty of forcible detainer, and will be subject to
eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law and
all damages to Debtor by reason thereof are hereby expressly waived by
Debtor.
H. Federal
Transfers. Upon a sale conducted pursuant to this
ARTICLE V of all or any portion of the Collateral consisting of interests
(the “Federal Interests”) in leases, easements, rights-of-way, agreements or
other documents and instruments covering, affecting or otherwise relating to
federal lands (including leases, easements and rights-of-way issued by the
Bureau of Land Management); Debtor agrees to take all action and execute all
instruments necessary or advisable to transfer the Federal Interests to the
purchaser at such sale, including to execute, acknowledge and deliver
assignments of the Federal Interests on officially approved forms in sufficient
counterparts to satisfy applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, to
seek and request approval thereof and to take all other action necessary or
advisable in connection therewith. By separate instruments, Debtor
has irrevocably appointed, and by this Instrument hereby irrevocably appoints,
Secured Party as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power and
authority in the place and xxxxx of Debtor, in the name of Debtor or otherwise,
to take any such action and to execute any such instruments on behalf of Debtor
that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to so transfer the Federal
Interests, including the power and authority to execute, acknowledge and deliver
such assignments, to seek and request approval thereof and to take all other
action deemed necessary or advisable by Secured Party in connection therewith;
and Debtor hereby adopts, ratifies and confirms all such actions and
instruments. By separate instruments Debtor has also irrevocably
appointed Secured Party as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power
and authority in the place and xxxxx of Debtor, in the name of Debtor or
otherwise, to take any such action and to execute any such instruments on behalf
of Debtor that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to so transfer the
Federal Interests, including the power and authority to execute, acknowledge and
deliver such assignments, to seek and request approval thereof and to take all
other action deemed necessary or advisable by Secured Party in connection
therewith; and by such separate instruments Debtor has adopted, ratified and
confirmed all such actions and instruments. Such powers of attorney
and proxies are coupled with an interest, shall survive the dissolution,
termination, reorganization or other incapacity of Debtor and shall be
irrevocable. No action taken by Secured Party shall constitute
acknowledgment of, or assumption of liabilities relating to, the Federal
Interests, and neither Debtor nor any other party may claim that Secured Party
is bound, directly or indirectly, by any such action.
23
Section
5.4 Personal
Property. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, in addition to all other rights, powers and remedies herein
conferred or conferred by operation of law, Secured Party shall have all of the
rights and remedies of an assignee and secured party granted by applicable law,
including the applicable Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect, and shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, have the right and power, but not the
obligation, to take possession of the personal property included in the
Collateral and any proceeds thereof wherever located, and for that purpose
Secured Party may enter upon any premises on which any or all of such personal
property is located and take possession of and operate such personal property or
remove the same therefrom. Secured Party may require Debtor to
assemble such personal property and make it available to Secured Party at a
place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both
parties. The following presumptions shall exist and shall be deemed
conclusive with regard to the exercise by Secured Party of any of its remedies
with respect to personal property:
A. If notice
is required by applicable law, Debtor agrees that five days’ prior written
notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any
private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made shall be
deemed reasonable notice to Debtor. No such notice is necessary if
such property is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market.
B. If
Secured Party in good faith believes that the Securities Act of 1933 or any
other state or federal law prohibits or restricts the customary manner of sale
or distribution of any of such property, Secured Party may sell such property
privately or in any other manner deemed advisable by Secured Party at such price
or prices as Secured Party determines in its sole discretion. Debtor
recognizes that such prohibition or restriction may cause such property to have
less value than it otherwise would have and that, consequently, such sale or
disposition by Secured Party may result in a lower sales price than if the sale
were otherwise held.
Section
5.5 Possession. If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to all
other rights, powers and remedies herein conferred or conferred by operation of
law, Secured Party shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, have
the right and power, but not the obligation, to enter upon and take immediate
possession of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to exclude Debtor
therefrom, to hold, use, operate, manage, enjoy and control such Collateral, to
make all such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to
the same as Secured Party may deem proper or expedient, to sell all of the
severed and extracted Hydrocarbons included in the same subject to the
provisions of ARTICLE III hereof, to demand, collect and retain all other
earnings, rents, issues, profits, proceeds and other sums due or to become due
with respect to such Collateral accounting for and applying to the payment of
the Obligations only the net earnings arising therefrom after charging against
the receipts therefrom all fees, costs, expenses, charges, damages and losses
incurred by reason thereof plus interest thereon at the Default Rate without any
liability to Debtor in connection therewith. Such possession shall at
once be delivered to Secured Party upon request, and on refusal or failure to so
deliver possession, the delivery of such possession may be enforced by Secured
Party by any appropriate civil suit, proceeding or other action.
24
Section
5.6 Appointment of
Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, in addition to all other rights, powers and remedies herein
conferred or conferred by operation of law, Secured Party shall be entitled to
the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral without the necessity of the
posting of a bond or notice; and shall, to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law, be entitled to such receiver as a matter of right, without
regard to the solvency or insolvency of Debtor, the value or adequacy of the
Collateral or the Collateral being in danger of being materially injured or
reduced in value as security by removal, destruction, deterioration,
accumulation of prior liens or otherwise; and such receiver may be appointed by
any court of competent jurisdiction upon ex parte application, and without
notice, notice being expressly waived by Debtor to the extent such waiver is not
prohibited by applicable law. Debtor does hereby consent to the
appointment of such receiver or receivers, waives any and all defenses to such
appointment, and agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Secured Party,
and agrees that such appointment shall in no manner impair, prejudice or
otherwise affect the rights of Secured Party under this
ARTICLE V. Nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Secured
Party of any other right, remedy or privilege it may now or hereafter have under
law to have a receiver appointed. Any money advanced by Secured Party
in connection with any such receivership shall be a demand obligation owing by
Debtor to Secured Party and shall bear interest, from the date of making such
advancement until paid, at the Default Rate. Any such receiver shall
have all powers conferred by the court appointing such receiver, which powers
shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law include, the right to
enter upon and take immediate possession of the Collateral or any part thereof,
to exclude Debtor therefrom, to hold, use, operate, manage and control such
Collateral, to make all such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and
improvements to the same as such receiver or Secured Party may deem proper or
expedient, to lease, sell or otherwise transfer the Collateral or any portion
thereof as such receiver or Secured Party may deem proper or expedient, to sell
all of the Hydrocarbons included in the same subject to the provisions of
ARTICLE III hereof, to demand and collect all of the other earnings, rents,
issues, profits, proceeds and other sums due or to become due with respect to
such Collateral, accounting for only the net earnings arising therefrom after
charging against the receipts therefrom all fees, costs, expenses, charges,
damages and losses incurred by reason thereof plus interest thereon at the
Default Rate without any liability to Debtor in connection therewith which net
earnings shall be turned over by such receiver to Secured Party to be applied by
Secured Party to the payment of the Obligations in the order set forth in
Section 5.10.
Section
5.7 Waiver by
Debtor. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor
agrees that Debtor shall not at any time have, invoke, utilize or assert any
right under any laws pertaining to the marshaling of assets or liens, the sale
of property in the inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homesteads, the
administration of estates of decedents, appraisement, moratorium, valuation,
stay, extension or redemption now or hereafter in force, and Debtor hereby
waives the benefit of all such laws to the fullest extent not prohibited by
applicable law.
25
Section
5.8 Remedies
Cumulative. All rights, powers and remedies herein conferred
are cumulative, and not exclusive, of (a) any and all other rights and remedies
herein conferred, (b) any and all rights, powers and remedies existing at law or
in equity, and (c) any and all other rights, powers and remedies provided for in
any other documents or instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the
Obligations, and Secured Party shall, in addition to the rights, powers and
remedies herein conferred, be entitled to avail itself of all such other rights,
powers and remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for the
collection of and enforcement of the Obligations and the enforcement of the
warranties, representations, covenants, indemnities and other agreements
contained in this Instrument and the other documents and instruments evidencing,
securing or relating to the Obligations and the foreclosure of the liens and
security interests created by this Instrument. Each and every such
right, power and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often and in
such order as may be deemed expedient by Secured Party and the exercise of any
such right, power or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to
exercise, at the same time or thereafter, any other right, power or
remedy. No delay or omission by Secured Party, the sheriff or other
official or person in the exercise of any right, power or remedy will impair any
such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof or of any other
right, power or remedy then or thereafter existing.

Instrument.
