Debtors Covenants
1.
Protection of Collateral. Debtor will defend the Collateral against all claims and demands and will keep it free from all liens except those for taxes not yet due and from all subordinate security interests. The books and records evidencing the Collateral will remain in Debtors possession or control at all times, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
2.
Secured Partys Costs. Debtor will pay all expenses incurred by Secured Party in enforcing this security interest or the Collateral upon an Event of Default, expenses for which Debtor is liable include, but are not limited to, taxes, assessments, reasonable attorney's fees, and other legal expenses. These expenses will bear interest from the dates of payments at the highest rate allowed by law, and Debtor will pay Secured Party this interest on demand at a time and place reasonably specified by Secured Party. These expenses and interest will be part of the Obligation and will be recoverable as such in all respects.
3.
Additional Documents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Debtor will sign any papers that Secured Party considers necessary to obtain, maintain, and perfect this security interest or to comply with any relevant law.
4.
Notice of Changes. Debtor will immediately notify Secured Party of any material change in the Collateral; change in Debtors names, address, or location; change in any matter warranted or represented in this Agreement; change that may affect this security interest; and any event of default.
5.
Disposition of Collateral. Debtor may not dispose or transfer substantially all of the assets of Debtor without prior written consent of the Secured Party and without granting Secured Party a secured position against the transfer of assets and/or the entity to which the assets are transferred.
6.
Effect of Disposition. If Secured Partys consent to the disposition of any Collateral gives rise to an account, chattel paper or instrument, Debtor shall assign or indorse the same to Secured Party, unless Secured Party otherwise waives such assignment or endorsement, in writing.
7.
Power of Attorney. Debtor appoints Secured Party as Debtors attorney-in-fact with full power in Debtors name and behalf to do every act which Debtor is obligated to do or may be required to do hereunder; however, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to obligate Secured Party to take any action hereunder.
2
Rights and Remedies of Secured Party. Generally, Secured Party may exercise the following rights and remedies after Debtor defaults, as events of default are set forth below:
1.
take control of Collateral and any proceeds of the Collateral, and communicating directly with obligors under the Collateral;
2.
release any Collateral in Secured Partys possession to any Debtor, temporarily or otherwise; and/or
3.
demand, collect, convert, redeem, settle, compromise, receipt for, realize on, adjust, sue for, and foreclose on the Collateral either in Secured Partys or Debtors names, as Secured Party desires.

1.
an Event of Default occurs under the terms of the Acquisition Promissory Notes;
2.
an Event of Default occurs under the terms of the One Year Promissory Notes; or

require Debtor to deliver to Secured Party all books and records relating to the Collateral;

3
and deliver to the Debtor such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral.
General Provisions
1.
Parties Bound. Secured Partys rights under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of their successors and assigns. Assignment of any part of the Obligation and delivery by Secured Party of any part of the Collateral will fully discharge Secured Party from responsibility for that part of the Collateral. If Debtor is more than one, all their representations, warranties, obligations and agreements are joint and several. Debtors obligations under this Agreement shall bind Debtors' personal representatives, successors, and assigns.
2.
Waiver. Neither delay in exercise nor partial exercise of any of Secured Partys remedies or rights shall waive further exercise of those remedies or rights. Secured Partys failure to exercise remedies or rights does not waive subsequent exercise of those remedies or rights. Secured Partys waiver of any default does not waive further default. Secured Partys waiver of any right in this Agreement or of any default is binding only if it is in writing. Secured Party may remedy any default without waiving it.
3.
Modifications. No provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or limited except by written agreement.
4.
Severability. The unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision.
5.
Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE SHALL BE IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. Unless otherwise defined herein, or unless this context otherwise requires, all terms used herein which are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Texas have the meanings therein stated.
6.
Presumption of Truth and Validity. If the Collateral is sold after default, recitals in the bill of sale or transfer will be prima facie evidence of their truth, and all prerequisites to the sale specified by this Agreement and by the Texas Uniform Commercial Code will be presumed satisfied.
7.
Singular and Plural. When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural.
8
Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, by the Debtor without the prior written consent of Secured Party. This Agreement may be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by Secured Party upon written notice to the Debtor.
9.
Cumulative Remedies. Foreclosure of this security interest by suit does not limit Secured Partys remedies, including the right to sell the Collateral under the terms of this Agreement. All remedies of Secured Party may be exercised at the same or different times, and no remedy shall be a defense to any other. Secured Partys rights and remedies include all those granted by law or otherwise, in addition to those specified in this Agreement.
