Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Secured Party, the Company and the Debtor shall have entered into a pledge and security agreement that grants to the Secured Party a first priority security interest in the Shares and the assets of the Company to secure the Debtor’s obligation to pay the Secured Party the Closing Receivables Payment and to pay to the Secured Party the Deferred Portion.

4. Filings; Further Assurances.
(a) General. The Secured Party is authorized to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, with respect to the Debtor, and, with the Secretary of State of the State of Oklahoma with respect to the Company. The Debtor shall promptly deliver to the Secured Party all certificates and instruments constituting the Pledged Equity in suitable form for transfer by delivery and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Secured Party as such Obligor’s true and lawful attorney with power, upon Obligor’s failure or refusal to promptly comply with its obligations in this Section 4(a), to sign the name of Obligor on any of the above-described documents or on any other similar documents which need to be executed, recorded or filed in order to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral or the Pledged Equity, as the case may be. Each Obligor further agrees to enter into such control agreements with the Secured Party and such third parties as may be necessary to obtain a security interest in collateral, including deposit accounts and Pledged Equity, and agrees to use best efforts to obtain the assent of the third parties to said agreements.
| 3 |
(b) Additional Matters. Without limiting the generality of Section 4(a), each of the Obligors will at the reasonable written request of the Secured Party, appear in and defend any action or proceeding which is reasonably expected to have a material and adverse effect with respect to the such Obligor’s title to, or the security interest of the Secured Party in, the Pledged Equity or the Collateral, as the case may be.
5. Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Each of the Debtor, with respect to the Pledged Equity, and the Company, with respect to the Collateral, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) No Other Encumbrances. The Debtor has good and marketable title to the Pledged Equity, and the Company has good and marketable title to the Collateral, in each case, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of any kind, except the Liens scheduled pursuant to Section 3.15 of the Stock Purchase Agreement or as otherwise approved in writing by the Secured Party, and has the right to pledge, sell, assign or transfer the same. There exists no adverse claim with respect to the Pledged Equity.
(b) Authorization of Pledged Equity. All Pledged Equity is duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and, to the extent applicable, nonassessable and is not subject to the preemptive rights of any person.
(c) Security Interest/Priority. This Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Secured Party in the Collateral and the Pledged Equity and, when properly perfected by filing shall constitute a valid and perfected security interest in such Pledged Equity and Collateral, to the extent such security interest can be perfected by filing under the UCC, free and clear of all liens except for liens permitted by the Stock Purchase Agreement. The taking possession by the Secured Party of the certificated securities (if any) evidencing the Pledged Equity and all other Instruments constituting Collateral will perfect and establish the Secured Party’s security interest in all the Pledged Equity evidenced by such certificated securities and such instruments. With respect to any Collateral consisting of a deposit account, investment property, securities entitlement or held in a securities account, upon execution and delivery by the Company, the applicable depository bank or securities intermediary and the Secured Party of an agreement granting control to the Secured Party over such Collateral, the Secured Party shall have a valid and perfected security interest in such Collateral.
(d) Consents; Etc. There are no restrictions in any organizational document governing the Pledged Equity or any other document related thereto which would limit or restrict (i) the grant of a security interest pursuant to this Agreement on such Pledged Equity, (ii) the perfection of such security interest or (iii) the exercise of remedies in respect of such perfected security interest in the Pledged Equity as contemplated by this Agreement. Except for (i) the filing or recording of UCC financing statements, (ii) the filing of appropriate notices with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, other applicable federal registries and local registries regarding assignments of rents and fixture filings, (iii) obtaining control to perfect the security interests created by this Agreement (to the extent required under Section 4 hereof), (iv) such actions as may be required by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities, and (v) consents, authorizations, filings or other actions which have been obtained or made, no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any arbitrator or governmental authority and no consent of any other person (including, without limitation, any stockholder, member or creditor of the Company), is required for (A) the grant by the Company of the security interest in the Collateral granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Company, (B) the perfection of such security interest (to the extent such security interest can be perfected by filing under the UCC, the granting of control (to the extent required by Section 4(a) hereof) or by filing an appropriate notice with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or other applicable registry) or (C) the exercise by the Secured Party of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement.
| 4 |
(e) Right to Inspect the Collateral. The Secured Party shall have the right, during usual business hours of the Company and upon reasonable advance notice, to inspect and examine the Collateral, the locations of which are set forth on Schedule 5(e) hereto. Debtor agrees that any reasonable expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with this Section 5(e) during the continuance of an Event of Default shall constitute Secured Party Expenses.
(f) Negative Covenants. Except for sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business, Obligors shall not (i) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, relocate or transfer, any of the Collateral, except dispositions of Collateral that is worn out, obsolete or no longer necessary in the business of the Company, (ii) allow any liens on or grant security interests in the Collateral except the Permitted Liens or (iii) change any of their names or add any new fictitious name without the written consent of the Secured Party.
(g) Relocation of Principal Place of Business. The Company shall not, without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Secured Party, relocate the Collateral, with no relocation being permitted outside the United States in any event.
(h) Further Information. Obligors shall promptly supply the Secured Party with such information concerning Obligors’ business as the Secured Party may reasonably request from time-to-time hereafter, and shall within five (5) business days of obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Secured Party of any event which constitutes an Event of Default.
(i) Solvency. Each Obligor is now and shall be at all times hereafter able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
(j) Secured Party Expenses. Debtor shall, within fifteen (15) business days of written demand from the Secured Party accompanied by adequate documentation of such expenses, reimburse the Secured Party for all sums expended by it which constitute Secured Party Expenses and, in the event that Debtor does not pay any Secured Party Expenses payable to a third party within fifteen (15) business days after notice thereof, then the Secured Party may immediately and without further notice pay such Secured Party Expenses on Debtor’s behalf. All such expenses shall become a part of the Obligations and will be payable on demand. This Agreement shall also secure payment of those amounts.
(k) Commercial Tort Claims. Obligors have no pending commercial tort claim (as a plaintiff) against any individual or entity (a “Commercial Claim”). Obligors shall promptly deliver to the Secured Party notice of any Commercial Claim that an Obligor may bring against any individual or entity, together with such information with respect thereto as the Secured Party may reasonably request. Within ten (10) days after a written request by the Secured Party, Obligors shall grant the Secured Party a security interest in any pending Commercial Claim to the extent such security interest is permitted by applicable law.
| 5 |
(l) 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. The representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any and all other representations, warranties and agreements set forth in the Subscription Documents or any other documents created after the Closing Date and signed by Obligors.
6. Events of Default. Any uncured default in the payment of the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” by the Debtor under this Agreement.
7. Rights and Remedies.
(a) Rights and Remedies of the Secured Party.
(i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice of election and without demand, the Secured Party may cause any one or more of the following to occur, all of which are authorized by Obligors:
(A) The Secured Party may make such payments and do such acts as it reasonably considers necessary to protect its security interest in the Collateral. The Company agrees to promptly assemble and make available the Collateral if the Secured Party so requires. Obligors authorize the Secured Party to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, claim, right or lien which, in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party, appears to be prior or superior to its security interest in violation of this Agreement, and to pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.
(B) The Secured Party shall be automatically deemed to be granted a license or other appropriate right to use, without charge or representation or warranty, the Company’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, and any other property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral.
(C) The Secured Party may ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral.
(D) The Secured Party may sell the Collateral or the Pledged Equity at either a public or private sale, or both (which in the case of a private sale of Pledged Equity, shall be to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own accounts, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof), by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Obligors’ premises) as is commercially reasonable (it not being necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale). In the case of a sale of Pledged Equity, the Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Debtor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933. The Debtor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell any Pledged Equity which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933), or (ii) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Secured Party may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.
| 6 |
(E) The Secured Party shall be entitled to give notice of the disposition of the Collateral as follows: (1) the Secured Party shall give Obligors a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Collateral, the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, (2) the notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Obligors at least ten (10) days before the date fixed for the sale, or at least ten (10) days before the date on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value in which case the Secured Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such notice to Obligors as far in advance of such disposition as is practicable.
(F) The Secured Party may purchase all or any portion of the Collateral at any public sale by credit bid or other appropriate payment therefor.
(G) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies regarding the appointment of a receiver: (1) the Secured Party may have a receiver appointed as a matter of right, (2) the receiver may be an employee of the Secured Party and may serve without bond, and (3) all fees of the receiver and his or her attorney shall be Secured Party Expenses and become part of the Obligations and shall be payable on demand.
(H) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the Collateral. The Secured Party may at any time, in its reasonable discretion, transfer any Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee(s) and receive the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as security for the Obligations or apply it to payment of the Obligations in such order of preference as the Secured Party may determine. Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, loans receivable, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, the Secured Party may demand, collect, issue receipts for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or otherwise realize on the Collateral as the Secured Party may determine (in its reasonable discretion), whether or not the Obligations are then due. For these purposes, the Secured Party may, on behalf of and in the name of Obligors, (1) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Obligors, (2) change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent, and (3) endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and items pertaining to the payment, shipment, or storage of any Collateral. To facilitate collection, the Secured Party may notify account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to the Secured Party.
| 7 |
(ii) The Secured Party may deduct from the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral all Secured Party Expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement and exercise of any of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party provided for herein, irrespective of whether suit is commenced. If such deduction does not occur (in the Secured Party’s reasonable discretion), upon demand, Obligors shall pay all of such Secured Party Expenses. Any deficiency which exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided herein will be paid promptly by Obligors, and any excess that exists will be returned, without interest and subject to the rights of third parties, to Obligors by the Secured Party; provided, however, that if any excess exists at a time when any of the Obligations remain outstanding, such excess shall instead remain as part of the Collateral and continue to be subject to the security interest in Section 3(a) above until such time as all of the Obligations have been fully satisfied or otherwise terminated.
(iii) Voting and Payment Rights in Respect of the Pledged Equity.
(A) So long as no Event of Default shall exist, the Debtor may (1) exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement and (2) receive and retain any and all dividends in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent they are allowed under the Stock Purchase Agreement; and
(B) During the continuance of an Event of Default, (1) all rights of the Debtor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (A)(1) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, (2) all rights of the Debtor to receive the dividends which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to clause (A)(2) above shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Secured Party which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, principal and interest payments, and (3) all dividends which are received by the Debtor contrary to the provisions of clause (B)(2) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Debtor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Secured Party as Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by the Secured Party as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
(b) Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Secured Party under this Agreement and any other agreements and documents delivered or executed in connection with the Obligations shall be cumulative. The Secured Party shall also have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as are provided under applicable law, or in equity. No exercise by the Secured Party of any one right or remedy shall be deemed an election.
8. Additional Waivers. The Secured Party shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency or other person whomsoever, except to the extent that such loss, damage, liability, cost or expense has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party or its affiliates. If the Secured Party at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if the Secured Party takes such action for that purpose as Obligors shall request or as the Secured Party, in its reasonable discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request by Obligors shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care. The Secured Party shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect, preserve, or maintain any security interest given to secure the Obligations.
| 8 |
9. Notices. All notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement shall be made in writing as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Each party shall provide written notice to the other party of any change in address.
10. Choice of Law. The validity of this Agreement, its construction, interpretation and enforcement, and the rights of the parties hereunder and concerning the Pledged Equity and the Collateral, shall be determined under, governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Oklahoma as applied to contracts made and to be fully performed in such state, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof, except to the extent that the validity, perfection or enforcement of a security interest hereunder in respect of the Pledged Equity and the Collateral is governed by the laws of the state of Oklahoma or some other state, in which case such laws shall govern.
11. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE OBLIGORS EACH WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
12. General Provisions.
(a) Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective against each Obligor when executed by that Obligor and the Secured Party.
(b) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted endorsees, transferees and assigns of the Secured Party. Obligors shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, and any such assignment shall be absolutely void.
(c) Section Headings. Section headings are for convenience only.
(d) Interpretation. No uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against the Secured Party or Obligors, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the parties.
(e) Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
(f) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the agreements and documents referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter covered herein and supersede all prior agreements, negotiations and understandings, written or oral, with respect to such subject matter. No provision of this Agreement shall be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by Obligors and the Secured Party.
(g) Good Faith. The parties intend and agree that their respective rights, duties, powers, liabilities and obligations shall be performed, carried out, discharged and exercised reasonably and in good faith.
(h) Waiver and Consent. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by the Secured Party of a provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between or among the parties shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of the Secured Party’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by the Secured Party, nor any course of dealing between the Secured Party and Obligors, shall constitute a waiver of any of the Secured Party’s rights or of any of Obligors’ obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of the Secured Party is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by the Secured Party in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the reasonable discretion of the Secured Party.
| 9 |
(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
(j) Termination. Upon full satisfaction or other termination of the Obligations (i) the Secured Party shall release and return to Obligors all of the Collateral and any and all certificates and other documentation representing or relating to the Pledged Equity and the Collateral and (ii) the security interests provided for under this Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force and effect. At Debtor’s expense, the Secured Party shall take all actions reasonably requested by Debtor in connection with the foregoing.
(k) Consent of Obligors as Issuers of Pledged Equity. Each Obligor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees to the grant of the security interests in such Pledged Equity pursuant to this Agreement, together with all rights accompanying such security interest as provided by this Agreement and applicable law, notwithstanding any anti-assignment provisions in any operating agreement, limited partnership agreement or similar organizational or governance documents of such issuer.
