Section 2.3 Performance by Noteholder on Grantor’s Behalf. Grantor agrees that, if any Event of Default is continuing as a result of Grantor failure to perform any act or to take any action which hereunder Grantor is required to perform or take, or to pay any money which hereunder Grantor is required to pay, Noteholder, in Grantor’s name or its own name, may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money, and any expenses so incurred by Noteholder and any money so paid by Noteholder, shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor to Noteholder (which obligation Grantor hereby expressly promises to pay) and Noteholder, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment. Each amount due and owing by Grantor to Noteholder pursuant to this Mortgage shall bear interest each day, from the date of such expenditure or payment until paid, at a rate equal to the rate as provided for past-due principal under the Note (provided that, should applicable law provide for a maximum permissible rate of interest on such amounts, such rate shall not be greater than such maximum permissible rate); all such amounts, together with such interest thereon, shall be a part of the secured indebtedness and shall be secured by this Mortgage. ARTICLE III. Assignment of Production, Accounts, and Proceeds Section 3.1 Assignment of Production.

Grantor will direct and instruct in the event of an Event of Default any and all purchasers of any Production to pay to Noteholder all of the Production Proceeds accruing to Grantor’s interest until such time as such purchasers have been furnished with evidence that all secured indebtedness has been paid and that this Mortgage has been released. Grantor agrees that no purchasers of the Production shall have any responsibility for the application of any funds paid to Noteholder. Section 3.2 Effectuating Payment of Production Proceeds to Noteholder. Independent of the foregoing provisions and authorities herein granted, Grantor agrees to execute and deliver any and all transfer orders, division orders and other instruments that may be requested by Noteholder or that may be required by any purchaser of any Production for the purpose of


 
  12       effectuating payment of the Production Proceeds to Noteholder after an Event of Default. If under any existing sales agreements, other than division orders or transfer orders, any Production Proceeds are required to be paid by the purchaser to Grantor so that under such existing agreements payment cannot be made of such Production Proceeds to Noteholder after an Event of Default, Grantor’s interest in all Production Proceeds under such sales agreements and in all other Production Proceeds which for any reason may be paid to Grantor shall, when received by Grantor after an Event of Default, constitute trust funds in Grantor’s hands and shall be immediately paid over to Noteholder. Without limitation upon any of the foregoing, Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Noteholder as Grantor’s special attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution, either generally or for such periods or purposes as Noteholder may from time to time prescribe) in the name, place and stead of Grantor to do any and every act and exercise any and every power that Grantor might or could do or exercise personally with respect to all Production and Production Proceeds after an Event of Default (the same having been assigned by Grantor to Noteholder pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof), expressly inclusive, but not limited to, the right, power and authority after an Event of Default to: (a) Execute and deliver in the name of Grantor any and all transfer orders, division orders, letters in lieu of transfer orders, indemnifications, certificates and other instruments of every nature that may be requested or required by any purchaser of Production from any of the Mortgaged Properties for the purposes of effectuating payment of the Production Proceeds to Noteholder or which Noteholder may otherwise deem necessary or appropriate to effect the intent and purposes of the assignment contained in Section 3.1; and (b) If under any product sales agreements other than division orders or transfer orders, any Production Proceeds are required to be paid by the purchaser to Grantor so that under such existing agreements payment cannot be made of such Production Proceeds to Noteholder, to make, execute and enter into such sales agreements or other agreements as are necessary to direct Production Proceeds to be payable to Noteholder; giving and granting unto said attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever necessary and requisite to be done as fully and to all intents and purposes, as Grantor might or could do if personally present; and Grantor shall be bound thereby as fully and effectively as if Grantor had personally executed, acknowledged and delivered any of the foregoing certificates or documents. The powers and authorities herein conferred upon Noteholder may be exercised by Noteholder after an Event of Default through any person who, at the time of the execution of the particular instrument, is an officer of Noteholder. The power of attorney herein conferred is granted for valuable consideration and hence is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the secured indebtedness, or any part thereof (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), shall remain unpaid and this Mortgage is unreleased. All persons dealing with Noteholder or any substitute, shall be fully protected in treating the powers and authorities conferred by this paragraph as continuing in full force and effect until advised by Noteholder that all the secured indebtedness is fully and finally paid and this Mortgage is released.


 
  13       Section 3.3 Change of Purchaser. Should any person now or hereafter purchasing or taking Production fail to make payment promptly to Noteholder of the Production Proceeds after an Event of Default, Noteholder shall have the right to make, or to require Grantor to make, a change of connection and the right to designate or approve the purchaser with whose facilities a new connection shall be made, and Noteholder shall have no liability or responsibility in connection therewith so long as ordinary care is used in making such designation. Section 3.4 Application of Production Proceeds. After an Event of Default, all Production Proceeds from time to time in the hands of Noteholder shall be applied by it toward the payment of all secured indebtedness (principal, interest, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and other fees and expenses) at such times and in such manner and order and to such extent as Noteholder deems advisable. Any Production Proceeds from time to time received by Noteholder after an Event of Default shall be credited to, or sent at the direction of, Borrower. Section 3.5 Release From Liability; Indemnification. Noteholder and its successors and assigns are hereby absolved from all liability for failure to enforce collection of the Production Proceeds and from all other responsibility in connection therewith, except the responsibility of each to account to Grantor for funds actually received by each and for its gross negligence, willful misconduct and fraud. Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Noteholder (for purposes of this paragraph, the term “Noteholder” shall include the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of Noteholder and any persons or entities owned or controlled by or affiliated with Noteholder) against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages (including without limitation consequential damages), causes of action, judgments, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) by reason of the assertion that Noteholder received, either before or after payment in full of the secured indebtedness, funds from the production of oil, gas, other hydrocarbons or other minerals claimed by third persons (and/or funds attributable to sales of production which (i) were made at prices in excess of the maximum price permitted by applicable law or (ii) were otherwise made in violation of laws, rules, regulations and/or orders governing such sales), and Noteholder shall have the right to defend against any such claims or actions, employing attorneys of its own selection, and if not furnished with indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, Noteholder shall have the right to compromise and adjust any such claims, actions and judgments, and in addition to the rights to be indemnified as herein provided, all amounts paid by Noteholder in compromise, satisfaction or discharge of any such claim, action or judgment, and all court costs, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and other expenses of every character expended by Noteholder pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing by Grantor to Noteholder and shall bear interest, from the date expended until paid, at the rate described in Section 2.3 hereof. WITHOUT LIMITATION, IT IS THE INTENTION OF GRANTOR AND GRANTOR AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES), CAUSES OF ACTION, JUDGMENTS,


 
  14       PENALTIES, REASONABLE COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION REASONABLE OUT-OF-POCKET ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH (AND/OR ANY OTHER) INDEMNIFIED PARTY. However, such indemnities shall not apply to any particular indemnified party (but shall apply to the other indemnified parties, it being understood that Noteholder shall be considered the same indemnified party as its directors, officers, partners, employees and agents) to the extent the subject of the indemnification is caused by or arises out of the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such particular indemnified party. Section 3.5 Grantor’s Absolute Obligation to Pay Note. Nothing herein contained shall detract from or limit the obligations of Grantor to make prompt payment of the Note, and any and all other secured indebtedness, at the time and in the manner provided herein and in the Loan Documents, regardless of whether the Production and Production Proceeds herein assigned are sufficient to pay same, and the rights under this Article III shall be cumulative of all other rights of Noteholder under the Loan Documents. ARTICLE IV. Remedies Upon Default Section 4.1 Default. The term “Event of Default” as used in this Mortgage shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the failure of Grantor to make due and punctual payment of the Note or of any other secured indebtedness or of any installment of principal thereof or interest thereon, or any part thereof, as the same shall become due and payable, whether at a date for payment of a fixed installment or contingent or other payment, or as a result of acceleration, or otherwise, and such failure is not remedied within five (5) days of written notice of said non-payment by Noteholder; or (b) the failure of Grantor to pay over to Noteholder any Production Proceeds which are receivable by Noteholder under this Mortgage but which are paid to Grantor rather than Noteholder (either as provided for in Section 3.2 hereof or otherwise), and such failure is not remedied within 5 days after written notice and demand by Noteholder; or (c) the failure of Grantor timely and properly to observe, keep or perform any covenant, agreement, warranty or condition herein or in any other Loan Document required to be observed, kept or performed (other than covenant, agreement, warranty or condition otherwise constituting an Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and such failure is not remedied within the cure or grace period provided or, if no specific cure period is provided, then within 20 days after written notice and demand by Noteholder; or


 
  15       (d) any representation contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect on the date, or as of which, made and such representation is not made true and correct (as of the time such corrective action is taken) within the cure or grace period provided or, if no specific cure period is provided, then within 20 days after written notice and demand by Noteholder; or (e) [intentionally omitted]; or (f) Grantor suffers the entry against it of a judgment, decree or order for relief by a court of competent jurisdiction in an involuntary case commenced under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, including the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended; or (g) Grantor suffers the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for a substantial part of its Property in a proceeding brought against it and (1) such appointment is neither made ineffective nor discharged, released, vacated or fully bonded within thirty days after the making thereof, or (2) such appointment is consented to, requested by, or acquiesced to by Grantor; or (h) Grantor commences an action or voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect, including the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended; or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law or to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of any substantial part of its assets or any part of the Property; or (i) Grantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes corporate or other action in furtherance thereof or in furtherance of any proceeding described in subparagraph (h) immediately above; or (j) Grantor suffers a writ or warrant of attachment or any similar process to be issued by any court against all or any substantial part of its Property, and such writ or warrant of attachment or any similar process is not stayed, vacated, fully bonded or released within thirty days after the entry or levy thereof; or (k) Any of the events referred to above in subsections (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) shall occur with respect to any guarantor of the secured indebtedness and shall not be remedied within the applicable grace period (if any) set forth in such subsections; or (l) a “default” or “event of default” occurs under any Loan Document, other than this Mortgage, which defines either such term and the same is not remedied within the applicable period of cure or grace (if any) provided in such Loan Document. Section 4.2 Acceleration of Secured Indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subsection (f), (g), or (h) of section 4.1 above, all of the secured


 
  16       indebtedness shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, declaration or notice of acceleration or intention to accelerate, or any other notice or declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor. During the continuance of any other Event of Default, Noteholder at any time and from time to time may without notice to Grantor or any other person declare any or all of the secured indebtedness immediately due and payable and all such secured indebtedness shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate or any other notice or declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor, and the liens evidenced hereby shall be subject to foreclosure in any manner provided for herein or provided for by law as Noteholder may elect. Section 4.3 Pre-Foreclosure Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Noteholder is authorized, prior or subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings, to enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and to take possession of the Property and all books and records relating thereto, and to exercise without interference from Grantor any and all rights which Grantor has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or preservation of the Property. All reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Noteholder in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Property shall constitute a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing by Grantor to Noteholder and shall bear interest from date of expenditure until paid at the rate described in Section 2.3 hereof, all of which shall constitute a portion of the secured indebtedness and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by any other instrument securing the secured indebtedness. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Noteholder may invoke any and all lawful remedies to dispossess Grantor. In connection with any action taken by Noteholder pursuant to this Section 4.3, Noteholder shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Grantor resulting from any act or omission of Noteholder in managing the Property unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or bad faith of Noteholder, nor shall Noteholder be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Grantor arising under any agreement forming a part of the Property or arising under any Permitted Encumbrance prior to any foreclosure on, appointment of a receiver for, or deed-in-lieu with respect thereto by or on behalf of Trustee or Noteholder. Grantor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Noteholder with respect to the Property taken under this Section 4.3. without wilful misconduct and bad faith. Section 4.4 Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Trustee, or his successor or substitute, is authorized and empowered and it shall be his special duty at the request of Noteholder to sell the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof as an entirety or in parcels as Noteholder may elect, at such place or places and otherwise in the manner and upon such notice as may be required by law or, in the absence of any such requirement, as Trustee may deem appropriate. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any sale may be adjourned by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale without further notice except as may be required by law. The sale by Trustee of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Properties shall not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under such power until the whole of the


 
  17       Mortgaged Properties shall be sold; and, if the proceeds of such sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Properties shall be less than the aggregate of the indebtedness secured hereby and the expense of executing this trust as provided herein, this Mortgage and the lien hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Mortgaged Properties just as though no sale had been made; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to require the sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Properties but Noteholder shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Mortgaged Properties. After each sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale good and sufficient conveyances in the name of Grantor, conveying the property so sold to the purchaser or purchasers with special warranty of title, and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as herein provided. The power of sale granted herein shall not be exhausted by any sale held hereunder by Trustee or his substitute or successor, and such power of sale may be exercised from time to time and as many times as Noteholder may deem necessary until all of the Mortgaged Properties have been duly sold and all secured indebtedness has been fully paid. In the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Noteholder, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder and Noteholder shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder. Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any deed or deeds given by Trustee or any successor or substitute appointed hereunder as to nonpayment of the secured indebtedness beyond any applicable cure or grace period or as to the occurrence of any other Event of Default, or as to Noteholder’s having declared all of said indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to the request to sell, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to the refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, or as to the appointment of any substitute or successor trustee, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Noteholder or by such Trustee, substitute or successor, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. The Trustee or his successor or substitute may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Trustee, including the posting of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Trustee, his successor or substitute. If Trustee or his successor or substitute shall have given notice of sale hereunder, any successor or substitute Trustee thereafter appointed may complete the sale and the conveyance of the property pursuant thereto as if such notice had been given by the successor or substitute Trustee conducting the sale. Cumulative of the foregoing provisions, it being expressly understood that: As to Mortgaged Properties located in the State of Texas, such sales of all or any part of such Mortgaged Properties shall be conducted at the courthouse of any county (whether or not the counties in which the Mortgaged Properties are located are contiguous) in the State of Texas in which any part of the Mortgaged Properties is situated, at public venue to the highest bidder for cash between the hours of ten o’clock a.m. and four o’clock p.m. (and not later than three hours after the time of sale set forth in the notice thereof) on the first Tuesday in any month or at such other place, time and date as provided by the statutes of the State of Texas then in force governing sales of real estate under powers conferred by deed of trust, after having given notice of such sale in accordance with such statutes.


 
  18       A POWER OF SALE HAS BEEN GRANTED IN THIS MORTGAGE. A POWER OF SALE MAY ALLOW TRUSTEE TO TAKE THE MORTGAGED PROPERTIES AND SELL THEM WITHOUT GOING TO COURT IN A FORECLOSURE ACTION DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT BY GRANTOR UNDER THIS MORTGAGE. Section 4.5 Effective as Mortgage. This instrument shall be effective as a mortgage as well as a deed of trust and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default may be foreclosed as to any of the Property in any manner permitted by applicable law, and any foreclosure suit may be brought by Trustee or by Noteholder. To the extent, if any, required to cause this instrument to be so effective as a mortgage as well as a deed of trust, Grantor hereby mortgages the Mortgaged Properties to Noteholder. In the event a foreclosure hereunder shall be commenced by Trustee, or his substitute or successor, Noteholder may at any time before the sale of the Property direct Trustee to abandon the sale, and may then institute suit for the collection of the Note and/or any other secured indebtedness, and for the foreclosure of this Mortgage. It is agreed that if Noteholder should institute a suit for the collection of the Note or any other secured indebtedness and for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, Noteholder may at any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit dismiss the same, and require Trustee, his substitute or successor to sell the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. Section 4.6 Receiver. In addition to all other remedies herein provided for, Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Noteholder shall as a matter of right be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers for all or any part of the Property, whether such receivership be incident to a proposed sale (or sales) of such Property or otherwise, and without regard to the value of the Property or the solvency of any person or persons liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Grantor does hereby consent to the appointment of such receiver or receivers, waives any and all defenses to such appointment, and agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Noteholder, and agrees that such appointment shall in no manner impair, prejudice or otherwise affect the rights of Noteholder under Article III hereof. Nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Noteholder of any other right, remedy or privilege it may now or hereafter have under the law to have a receiver appointed. Any money advanced by Noteholder in connection with any such receivership shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing by Grantor to Noteholder and shall bear interest from the date of making such advancement by Noteholder until paid, at the rate described in Section 2.3 hereof. Section 4.7 Proceeds of Foreclosure. The proceeds of any sale held by Trustee or any receiver or public officer in foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby shall be applied: FIRST, to the payment of all necessary costs and expenses incident to such foreclosure sale, including but not limited to all court costs and charges of every character in the event foreclosed by suit, and a reasonable fee (not exceeding five percent


 
  19       (5%) of the gross proceeds of such sale) to Trustee acting under the provisions of Section 4.4 if foreclosed by power of sale as provided in said section; SECOND, to the payment of the secured indebtedness (including specifically without limitation the principal, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees due and unpaid on the Note and the amounts due and unpaid and owed to Noteholder under this Mortgage) in such manner and order as Noteholder may elect; and THIRD, the remainder, if any there shall be, shall be paid to Grantor, or to Grantor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns, or such other persons as may be entitled thereto by law. Section 4.8 Noteholder as Purchaser. Each of Noteholder, Grantor and any guarantor of the secured indebtedness shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by any Trustee or substitute or successor or by any receiver or public officer and any Noteholder purchasing at any such sale shall have the right to credit upon the amount of the bid made therefor, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid, the secured indebtedness owing to such Noteholder, or if such Noteholder holds less than all of such indebtedness, the pro rata part thereof owing to such Noteholder, accounting to all other Noteholders not joining in such bid in cash for the portion of such bid or bids apportionable to such non-bidding Noteholder or Noteholders. Section 4.9 Personal Property Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Noteholder may exercise its rights of enforcement with respect to the Collateral under the Texas Business and Commerce Code as amended (or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force in any other state to the extent the same is applicable law) and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies: (a) Noteholder may enter upon Grantor’s premises to take possession of, assemble and collect the Collateral or to render it unusable; and (b) Noteholder may require Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available at a place Noteholder designates which is mutually convenient to allow Noteholder to take possession or dispose of the Collateral; and (c) written notice mailed to Grantor as provided herein at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of public sale of the Collateral or prior to the date after which private sale of the Collateral will be made shall constitute reasonable notice; and (d) any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with and upon the same notice as required for the sale of the Mortgaged Properties under power of sale as provided in Section 4.4 of this Mortgage; and


 
  20       (e) in the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made by Trustee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Collateral and the Mortgaged Properties may, at the option of Noteholder, be sold as a whole; and (f) it shall not be necessary that Noteholder take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this section is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale; and (g) prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the Collateral to the secured indebtedness, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Noteholder; and (h) any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the secured indebtedness beyond any applicable cure or grace period or as to the occurrence of any other Event of Default, or as to Noteholder having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Noteholder, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited; and (i) Noteholder may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Noteholder, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Noteholder. Section 4.10 Foreclosure as to Matured Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Noteholder shall have the right to proceed with foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereunder without declaring the entire secured indebtedness due, and in such event, any such foreclosure sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the secured indebtedness and shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the secured indebtedness, but as to such unmatured part, this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made. The proceeds of such sale shall be applied as provided in Section 4.7 except that the amount paid under clause SECOND thereof shall be only the matured portion of the secured indebtedness and any proceeds of such sale in excess of those provided for in clauses FIRST and SECOND (modified as provided above) shall be applied as provided in clause SECOND AND THIRD of Section 3.4 hereof. Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the secured indebtedness. Section 4.11 Remedies Cumulative. All remedies herein expressly provided for are cumulative of each other and of all other remedies existing at law or in equity and are cumulative of any and all other remedies provided for in any other Loan Document, and Trustee and Noteholder shall, in addition to the remedies herein provided, be entitled to avail themselves of


 
  21       all such other remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for the collection of the secured indebtedness and the enforcement of the covenants herein and the foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby, and the resort to any remedy provided for hereunder or under any such other Loan Document or provided for by law shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate remedy or remedies. Section 4.12 Noteholder’s Discretion as to Security. Noteholder may resort to any security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the secured indebtedness, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as Noteholder may deem appropriate, and any such action shall not in any way be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Mortgage. Section 4.13 Grantor’s Waiver of Certain Rights. To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor agrees that Grantor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Grantor, for Grantor, Grantor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of assets of Grantor, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and/or security interests hereby created. To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Noteholder under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Property for the collection of the secured indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Noteholder under the terms of this Mortgage to the payment of the secured indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever. If any law referred to in this section and now in force, of which Grantor or Grantor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Properties or the Collateral might take advantage despite this section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this section. Section 4.14 Grantor as Tenant Post-Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale Grantor or Grantor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Grantor are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day to day, terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the purchaser at such sale shall, notwithstanding any language herein apparently to the contrary, have the sole option to demand immediate possession


 
  22       following the sale or to permit the occupants to remain as tenants at will. In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of said property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain a summary action for possession of the property (such as an action for forcible entry and detainer) in any court having jurisdiction. Section 4.15 Interest Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with all applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any Loan Document, in no event shall any Loan Document require or allow the payment, taking, receiving or charging or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable usury law, and all such documents shall be subject to interest reduction to the amount allowed under such laws. If any such excess of interest is contracted for, taken, charged, reserved or received, under any Loan Document, or in the event the maturity of any of the secured indebtedness is accelerated in whole or in part, or in the event that all or part of the principal or interest of the secured indebtedness shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances, the amount of interest contracted for, taken, charged or received, under any Loan Document, and the amount of principal actually outstanding from time to time under the instruments evidencing the secured indebtedness, shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by the applicable usury laws, now or hereafter enacted, then in any such event (a) the provisions of this section shall govern and control, (b) neither Grantor nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment of the secured indebtedness shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by the applicable usury laws, now or hereafter enacted, (c) any such excess shall be cancelled automatically, (d) any such excess that may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal amount or refunded to Grantor, at Noteholder’s option, and (e) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under the applicable usury laws, now or hereafter enacted. It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, taken, charged or received under any Loan Document that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by the applicable usury laws, now or hereafter enacted, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the loans evidenced by the instruments evidencing the secured indebtedness, all interest at any time contracted for, taken, charged or received from Grantor or otherwise by Noteholder in connection with such loans. Grantor does not agree to pay usurious interest. Further, the Noteholder hereby consents to the aforementioned paragraph. To the extent this provision conflicts with or is inconsistent with any provision of the Note, the terms of the Note shall prevail and control. Section 4.16 Montana Provision. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale Grantor or Grantor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Grantor are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day to day, terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. To the extent


 
  23       permitted by applicable law, the purchaser at such sale shall, notwithstanding any language herein apparently to the contrary, have the sole option to demand immediate possession following the sale or to permit the occupants to remain as tenants at will. In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of said property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain a summary action for possession of the property (such as an action for forcible entry and detainer) in any court having jurisdiction. ARTICLE V. Miscellaneous Section 5.1 Scope of Mortgage. This Mortgage is a deed of trust and mortgage of both real and personal property, a security agreement, a financing statement and an absolute assignment, and also covers proceeds and fixtures. Section 5.2 Effective as a Financing Statement. This Mortgage covers goods which are or are to become fixtures on the real property described herein. This Mortgage shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to all fixtures included within the Property and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of each county where any part of the Mortgaged Properties (including said fixtures) is situated. This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing statement covering minerals or the like (including oil and gas) and accounts subject to Subsection (e) of Section 9.103 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, as amended, and similar provisions (if any) of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any other state where the Mortgaged Properties are situated which will be financed at the wellhead or minehead of the wells or mines located on the Mortgaged Properties and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of each county where any part of the Mortgaged Properties is situated. This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing statement covering any other Property and may be filed in any other appropriate filing or recording office. The mailing address of Grantor is the address of Grantor set forth at the end of this Mortgage and the address of Noteholder from which information concerning the security interests hereunder may be obtained is the address of Noteholder set forth at the end of this Mortgage. Section 5.3 Reproduction of Mortgage as Financing Statement. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage or of any financing statement relating to this Mortgage shall be sufficient as a financing statement for any of the purposes referred to in Section 5.2. Section 5.4 Notice to Account Debtors. In addition to the rights granted in Article III hereof, Noteholder may at any time after an Event of Default notify the account debtors or obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness included in the Collateral to pay Noteholder directly. Section 5.5 Waiver by Noteholder. Noteholder may at any time and from time to time in writing waive compliance by Grantor with any covenant herein made by Grantor to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing, or consent to Grantor’s doing any act which


 
  24       hereunder Grantor is prohibited from doing, or to Grantor’s failing to do any act which hereunder Grantor is required to do, to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing, or release any part of the Property or any interest therein or any proceeds of Production from the lien and security interest of this Mortgage, without the joinder of Trustee, or release any party liable, either directly or indirectly, for the secured indebtedness or for any covenant herein or in any other Loan Document, without impairing or releasing the liability of any other party. No such act shall in any way impair the rights or powers of Noteholder or Trustee hereunder except to the extent specifically agreed to by Noteholder in such writing. Section 5.6 No Impairment of Security. The lien, security interest and other security rights of Noteholder hereunder shall not be impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release granted by Noteholder including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension or modification which Noteholder may grant with respect to any secured indebtedness, or any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Noteholder may grant in respect of the Property (including without limitation Production Proceeds), or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any release or indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any secured indebtedness. Section 5.7 Acts Not Constituting Waiver by Noteholder. Noteholder may waive any default or Event of Default without waiving any other prior or subsequent default or Event of Default. Noteholder may remedy any Event of Default without waiving the Event of Default remedied. Neither failure by Noteholder to exercise, nor delay by Noteholder in exercising, any right, power or remedy during the continuance of any Event of Default shall be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date (unless such Event of Default has been cured or expressly waived by Noteholder). No single or partial exercise by Noteholder of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Noteholder and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instances, for the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on Grantor in any case shall of itself entitle Grantor to any other or further notice of demand in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Noteholder of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any secured indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way excuse the existence of a default hereunder. Section 5.8 Grantor’s Successors. In the event the ownership of the Property or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Grantor, Noteholder may, without notice to Grantor, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Mortgage and to the indebtedness secured hereby in the same manner as with Grantor, without in any way vitiating or discharging Grantor’s liability hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby. No transfer of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Noteholder, and no extension of the time for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby given by Noteholder shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect, in


 
  25       whole or in part, the liability of Grantor hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby or the liability of any other person hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby. Section 5.9 Place of Payment. All secured indebtedness which may be owing hereunder at any time by Grantor shall be payable at the place designated in the Note (or if no such designation is made, at the address of Noteholder indicated at the end of this Mortgage), or at such other place as Noteholder may designate in writing. Section 5.10 Subrogation to Existing Liens. To the extent that proceeds of the Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Noteholder at Grantor’s request, and Noteholder shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances are released, and it is expressly understood that, in consideration of the payment of such indebtedness by Noteholder, Grantor hereby waives and releases all demands and causes of action for offsets and payments to, upon and in connection with the said indebtedness. Section 5.11 Application of Payments to Certain Indebtedness. If any part of the secured indebtedness cannot be lawfully secured by this Mortgage or if any part of the Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest hereof to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is not secured by this Mortgage. Section 5.12 Compliance With Usury Laws. It is the intent of Grantor and Noteholder and all other parties to the Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, it is stipulated and agreed that none of the terms and provisions contained herein and in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law from time to time in effect. Section 5.13 Trustees. The Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Noteholder, or Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing executed by Noteholder. In case of the death, resignation, removal, or disqualification of Trustee, or if for any reason Noteholder shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute or successor trustee to act instead of the herein named trustee or any substitute or successor trustee or to appoint an additional trustee or trustees to serve concurrently with Trustee, then Noteholder shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor trustee, a substitute trustee or an additional trustee, without other formality than appointment and designation in writing executed by Noteholder and the authority hereby conferred shall extend to the appointment of other successor, substitute and additional trustees successively until the indebtedness secured hereby has been paid in full, or until the Property is sold hereunder.


 
  26       Section 5.14 No Liability for Trustee. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder, believed by him in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by him hereunder. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the herein named Trustee or his successor or successors, substitute or substitutes, in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. Grantor will reimburse Trustee for, and save him harmless against, any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by him in the performance of his duties. Section 5.15 Release of Mortgage. If all of the secured indebtedness be paid (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) and Noteholder shall have no further obligation to provide credit or advance funds to Grantor or the maker of any Note secured hereby, then, and in that event only, all rights under this Mortgage shall terminate (except to the extent expressly provided herein with respect to indemnifications and other rights which are expressly to continue following the release hereof) and the Property shall become wholly clear of the liens, security interests, conveyances and assignments evidenced hereby, and evidence of such release of liens and security interests shall be provided by Noteholder in due form at Grantor’s cost. Section 5.16 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by electronic mail, by expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, at the following addresses (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed).

Section 5.17 Invalidity of Certain Provisions. A determination that any provision of this Mortgage is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision and the determination that the application of any provision of this Mortgage to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances. Section 5.18 Gender; Titles.

Grantor will cause this Mortgage and all amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor and all financing statements and continuation statements relating thereto to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and refiled in such manner and in such places as Trustee or Noteholder shall reasonably request and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, will pay all such recording, filing, re-recording and refiling taxes, fees and other charges. Section 5.20 Lender as Noteholder. All persons dealing with the Property (other than Grantor) shall be entitled to assume that Lender is the only Noteholder, and may deal with Lender (including without limitation accepting from or relying upon full or partial releases hereof executed by Lender only) without further inquiry as to the existence of other Noteholders, until given actual notice of facts to the contrary or until this Mortgage is supplemented or amended of record to show the existence of other Noteholders.

Section 5.22 Noteholder’s Consent. Except where otherwise expressly provided herein, in any instance hereunder where the approval, consent or the exercise of judgment of Noteholder


 
  28       is required, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be within the sole discretion of Noteholder, and Noteholder shall not, for any reason or to any extent, be required to grant such approval or consent or exercise such judgment in any particular manner, regardless of the reasonableness of either the request or Noteholder’s judgment.
