The Debtor and the Iowa Tribe acknowledge and agree that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days written notice to Debtor or the Iowa Tribe of the time and place of any public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Page 9 of 15 Any public sale shall be held at such time or times during ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale.

Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold free from any claim or right on the part of Debtor or the Iowa Tribe, and the Debtor and the Iowa Tribe hereby waive, to the full extent permitted by law, all rights of stay and/or appraisal which Debtor or the Iowa Tribe now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Debtor and the Iowa Tribe also hereby waive any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. The parties hereto agree that the notice provisions, method, manner and terms of any sale, transfer or disposition of any Collateral in compliance with the terms set forth herein or any other provision of this Security Agreement are commercially reasonable; (c) exercise any or all of the rights and remedies provided for by the Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code, applicable law or by other agreement, specifically including, without limitation, the right to recover the attorneys fees and other expenses incurred by Secured Party in the enforcement of this Security Agreement or in connection with the Debtor's redemption of the Collateral; provided however that if the Debtor or the Iowa Tribe is the prevailing party in any action or proceeding seeking enforcement of this Agreement, then the Debtor or the Iowa Tribe shall not be and Secured Party shall be responsible for such related costs and expenses. Secured Party may exercise its rights under this Security Agreement independently of any other collateral or guaranty that Debtor or the Iowa Tribe may have granted or provided to Secured Party in order to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and Secured Party shall be under no obligation or duty to foreclose or levy upon any other collateral given by Debtor or the Iowa Tribe to secure any Secured Obligation or to proceed against any guarantor before enforcing its rights under this Security Agreement.

The Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Secured Party nor any of their officers, directors, trustees, employees, representatives or Page 10 of 15 agents shall, in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, be responsible to the Debtor for any act or failure to act pursuant to this Section 6.2 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) the Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for their own account. Neither the Secured Party nor any of their directors, officers, trustees, employees, representatives, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Debtor or otherwise. 7.

The powers, privileges and rights in this Security Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. No waiver by Secured Party of any default hereunder shall be effective unless in writing, nor shall any waiver operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. (e) Binding Agreement. All rights of Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. Subject to the terms of the Consulting Contract, neither Debtor nor the Iowa Tribe shall assign any of its interest under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Any purported assignment inconsistent with this provision shall, at the option of Secured Party, be null and void. (f) Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement, together with any other agreement executed in connection herewith, is intended by the parties as a final expression of their Page 12 of 15 agreement and is intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions thereof. Acceptance of or acquiescence in a course of performance rendered under this Security Agreement shall not be relevant to determine the meaning of this Security Agreement even though the accepting or acquiescing party had knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection. (g) Severability. If any provision or obligation of this Security Agreement should be found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions and obligations or any other agreement executed in connection herewith, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law. (h) Survival of Provisions. All representations, warranties and covenants of Debtor and the Iowa Tribe contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, and shall terminate only upon the termination of this Security Agreement pursuant to Subsection 7(k) hereof. (i) Power of Attorney. The Debtor and the Iowa Tribe hereby irrevocably appoint Secured Party its attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of Debtor and the Iowa Tribe and in the name of each, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party's discretion (a) to execute and file financing and continuation statements (and amendments thereto and modifications thereof) on behalf and in the name of the Debtor or the Iowa Tribe with respect to the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, (b) to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to exercise its rights under Section 5(p) hereunder, and (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation: (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to Secured Party pursuant hereto; (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (iii) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clauses (i) and (ii) above; (iv) to sell, convey or otherwise transfer any item of Collateral to any purchaser thereof; and (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral. (j) Counterparts. This Security Agreement and any amendments, waivers, Page 13 of 15 consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement. (k) Termination of Agreement. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 3 hereof, this Security Agreement and the security interest hereunder shall not terminate until full and final payment and performance of all indebtedness and obligations secured hereunder. At such time, Secured Party shall reassign and redeliver to Debtor or the Iowa Tribe all of the Collateral hereunder which has not been sold, disposed of, retained or applied by Secured Party in accordance with the terms hereof, and execute and deliver to Debtor or the Iowa Tribe such documents as each may reasonably request to evidence such termination. Such reassignment and redelivery shall be without warranty by or recourse to Secured Party, and shall be at the expense of Debtor or the Iowa Tribe; provided, however, that this Security Agreement (including all representations, warranties and covenants contained herein) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by Secured Party in respect of the indebtedness and obligations secured hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Secured Party upon or in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Debtor or the Iowa Tribe or any other person or upon or in connection with the appointment of any intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar official for, Debtor, the Iowa Tribe or any other person or any substantial part of its assets, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. (l) Sovereign Immunity Waiver; Arbitration; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement constitutes the security agreement referred to in Section 3.1(g) of the Consulting Contract. As such and without limiting the scope of such agreements, the provisions of Article 10 of the Consulting Contract apply to this Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference, including, without limitation, the limited sovereign immunity waiver, limitations on recourse and arbitration provisions contained therein and the Resolution of Limited Waiver. This Agreement will be governed by the internal laws of the State of Oklahoma without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.
