The words hereof, herein, hereby, hereunder, and similar terms in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Section references are to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.
3. Creation of Security Interest.
3.1 Grant of Security Interest. In order to secure Debtors timely payment of the Obligations and timely performance of each and all of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement and any other document, instrument or agreement executed by Debtor and/or delivered by Debtor to the Secured Party in connection with the Obligations, Debtor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants, pledges and hypothecates to the Secured Party a continuing first-priority security interest in and to, a lien upon, assignment of, and right of set-off against, all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral. Upon filing of a financing statement naming Debtor as debtor and the Secured Party as secured party in the filing office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, the security interests in the Collateral (other than money, registered copyrights, deposit accounts or letter-of-credit rights) shall attach thereto without further act on the part of the Secured Party or Debtor.
3.2 Rights as to Inventory. Unless an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, Debtor may, subject to the provisions hereof and consistent herewith, sell its inventory and enter into licenses with respect to its property, but in each case only in the ordinary course of Debtors business. A sale of inventory in Debtors ordinary course of business does not include an exchange or a transfer in partial or total satisfaction of a debt owing by Debtor, nor does it include an exchange for less than the lower of cost or fair market value. For purposes of this Section, the Residuals shall not be considered inventory.
4. Insurance.
4.1 General. Debtor shall, at its expense, keep its business and assets (including the Collateral to the extent appropriate) insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers and all other hazards and risks and in such amounts as are ordinarily insured against by other owners of similar businesses. All such policies of insurance (except those of public liability and property damage) shall contain an endorsement, in a form satisfactory to the Secured Party, showing the Secured Party as an additional insured or beneficiary thereunder (or include a lender loss contract endorsement payable in favor of the Secured Party). Each such insurer shall agree (by endorsement upon the policy or policies of insurance issued by it to Debtor or by independent instruments) that it will give the Secured Party at least ten days written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance will be cancelled, and that no act or default of Debtor, or any other person, shall affect the right of the Secured Party to recover under such policy or policies of insurance or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. All insurers and insurance coverage shall be reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party. If Debtor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance
as required under this Agreement, the Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance as it deems appropriate, including if it so chooses single interest insurance, which will cover the Secured Partys interest in the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Party.
4.2 Insurance Reports. Debtor, upon request by the Secured Party, shall furnish to the Secured Party reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as the Secured Party may reasonably request, including the following: (i) the name of the insurer, (ii) the risks insured, (iii) the amount of the policy, (iv) the property insured, (v) the then-current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value and (vi) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Debtor shall upon request by the Secured Party have an independent appraiser satisfactory to the Secured Party determine, as applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
5. Filings; Further Assurances.
5.1 General. The Secured Party is authorized to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas evidencing its security interest in the Collateral. Debtor also authorizes the filing by the Secured Party of such other UCC financing statements, continuation financing statements, fixture filings, security agreements, deeds of trust, chattel mortgages, assignments, motor vehicle lien acknowledgments and other documents as the Secured Party may reasonably require in order to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the Secured Partys security interests in the Collateral or any portion thereof and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, if so requested by the Secured Party at any time hereafter, Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Party such fixture filings, security agreements, deeds of trust, chattel mortgages, assignments, motor vehicle lien acknowledgments and other documents as the Secured Party may reasonably require from Debtor in order to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the Secured Partys rights under this Agreement. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Secured Party as Debtors true and lawful attorney with power, upon Debtors failure or refusal to promptly comply with its obligations in this Section 5.1, to sign the name of Debtor on any of the above-described documents or on any other similar documents which need to be executed, recorded and/or filed in order to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the Secured Partys security interests in the Collateral.
5.2 Additional Matters. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.1, Debtor will (i) at the reasonable request of the Secured Party, appear in and defend any action or proceeding which may affect Debtors title to, or the security interests of the Secured Party in, the Collateral and (ii) promptly furnish to the Secured Party, from time-to-time, such reports in connection with the Collateral as are required by the Note Purchase Agreement.
5.3 Accounts and Negotiable Collateral. In the event that any portion of the Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of accounts and/or Negotiable Collateral, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor shall, to the extent permitted by any document comprising Negotiable Collateral, immediately endorse (where appropriate) any such Negotiable Collateral in blank and assign such accounts over to the Secured Party and deliver actual physical possession of the Negotiable Collateral to the Secured Party in order to perfect fully its security interest therein.
5.4 Documentation for Future Residuals. Until the Notes have been paid in full, each time Debtor or any subsidiary acquires any Future Residuals, Debtor and/or such subsidiary shall deliver to the Secured Party the applicable Future Residuals Security Documents. In each instance, such Future Residuals Security Documents shall be delivered at such time as is agreed upon by Debtor and the Secured Party. In addition, within three business days after the Secured Party so requests as to any Residuals already owned by Debtor, Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party such additional documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Secured Party in order to perfect, protect and/or enforce the Secured Partys rights with respect to such Residuals.
6. Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Debtor represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
6.1 No Other Encumbrances. Debtor has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of any kind except the Permitted Liens.
6.2 Right to Inspect Collateral. The Secured Party shall have the right, during Debtors usual business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to inspect and examine the Collateral. Debtor agrees that any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including expenses for appraisals and/or any other third party reviews) incurred by the Secured Party in connection with this Section 6.2 shall constitute Secured Party Expenses (provided that such expenses shall not exceed $30,000 in the aggregate with respect to inspections conducted while the Company is not in default hereunder; and provided further that so long as the Company is not in default hereunder, such inspections shall be limited to one per 12-month period).
6.3 Title to Vehicles and Equipment. Upon the Secured Partys request, Debtor shall immediately deliver to the Secured Party any and all evidences of ownership of or title to any vehicles or items of Debtors equipment, properly endorsed.
6.4 Maintenance of Vehicles and Equipment. Debtor shall keep and maintain its vehicles and equipment in good operating condition and repair, and shall make all necessary replacements thereto, so that the value and operating efficiency thereof shall at all times be maintained and preserved consistent with reasonable business practices.
6.5 Negative Covenants. Debtor shall not (i) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, relocate or transfer, any of the Collateral except as provided in Section 3.2 or dispositions of Collateral that is worn out or obsolete, (ii) allow any liens on the Collateral except the Permitted Liens or (iii) change Debtors name or add any new fictitious name without providing the Secured Party with 15 days prior written notice, in each case except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.

6.7 Further Information and Notices. Debtor shall promptly supply the Secured Party with such information concerning Debtors business as the Secured Party may reasonably request from time-to-time hereafter, and shall within three business days of obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Secured Party of any substantial change in the Collateral or any material adverse change in the Collateral or Debtors financial condition or any event which constitutes an Event of Default. Debtor shall notify the Secured Party promptly after becoming aware of the occurrence of any default under the Existing Residual Contracts, the Existing Residuals Security Documents, the Future Residual Contracts, the Future Residuals Security Documents or the ISO Agreements. To the extent that a right to cure any such default shall be available and shall not have expired, the Secured Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effect such cure on Debtors behalf. All amounts expended by the Secured Party in effecting any such cure shall constitute Secured Party Expenses.
6.8 Solvency. Debtor is now and shall be at all times hereafter able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
6.9 Secured Party Expenses. Debtor shall within ten days of written demand from the Secured Party accompanied by adequate documentation of such expenses, reimburse the Secured Party for all sums expended by the Secured Party which constitute Secured Party Expenses and, in the event that Debtor does not pay any Secured Party Expenses payable to a third party within ten days after notice thereof, then the Secured Party may immediately and without further notice pay such Secured Party Expenses on Debtors behalf. All such expenses shall become a part of the Obligations and, at the Secured Partys option, will (i) be payable on demand, (ii) be added to the balance of a Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during the remaining term of that Note, or (iii) be added to the balance of a Note and treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at that Notes maturity. This Agreement shall secure payment of the Secured Party Expenses and, in the event Borrower fails to pay any Secured Party Expenses after demand as described above, Debtor shall also pay to the Secured Party interest thereon at the default Rate (as provided in a Note).
6.10 Reliance by the Secured Party; Representations Cumulative. Each representation, warranty and agreement contained in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been relied on by the Secured Party regardless of any investigation made or information possessed by the Secured Party.
