For
the mutual covenants and promises
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt
of which are hereby acknowledged as received between the parties, the parties
have agreed as follows:
|
1.
|
Secured
Debts. This Security Agreement will secure the following
debts ("Secured Debts"), together with all extensions, renewals,
re-financings, modifications, or replacements of these debts: Lender
has
made a loan to Borrower, and Borrower has accepted sums of money
and
borrowed from Lender up to the sum of U.S. Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars
(U.S.$500,000) principal amount (the "debt"), evidenced by a corporate
promissory note and loan agreement, of even date
herewith.
|
|
2.
|
Security
Interest. To secure the payment and performance of the
Secured Debt, Borrower gives a security interest in all of the property
described in this Security Agreement that Borrower owns or has sufficient
rights in which to transfer an interest now or in the future, wherever
the
property is or will be located, and all proceeds and products from
the
property (including but not limited to all parts, accessories, repairs,
replacements, improvements, and accessions to the
property). Property is all the collateral given as security for
the Secured Debts and described in this Security 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 whether evidenced
by a
certificate of title or ownership, a manufacturer’s statement of origin or other
documents when the property is titled under state or federal
law. Borrower will deliver the title documents and properly execute
all title documents as necessary to reflect Lender’s security
interest. This Security Agreement remains in effect until terminated
in writing, even if the Secured Debts are paid and Lender is no longer obligated
to advance any funds to Borrower under any credit or loan
agreement.

reasonable time. Borrower will prepare any reasonable report or
accounting of the property as requested by
Lender.

which shall not unreasonably be withheld. Lender has the right
of reasonable access to inspect the property using all due care upon
entering the property. Borrower will not permit waste on the
property and will immediately inform Lender of any change of use,
loss or
damage to the property of a material nature. Borrower will at
all times be in compliance with any local, state or federal laws
pertaining to the use or operation of the mining activities on the
property and will carry sufficient liability
insurance.

withheld. Borrower will not permit the Property to be the
subject of any court order or decree affecting its rights in the
