5











  






7.         Rights with Respect to Collateral.  As long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, Borrowers may use and sell the Collateral in the ordinary course of its business.  If an Event of Default has occurred, and until the Obligations have been fully paid, Borrowers shall hold all cash or other property that they receive as a payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral under an ex­press trust for the sole ben­efit of Lender and deliver that cash or other property to Lender with­in 48 hours after Borrowers receive it, in the form received (ex­cept for any endorsement or assignment required to transfer it to Lender), for applica­tion to payment of the Obligations.


 


8.         Events of Default.  The occurrence of any event that constitutes an Event of Default as set forth in the Loan Agreement shall constitute a Default under this Security Agreement.  In addition, the following events or conditions shall constitute a Default:  (a), a levy, execution, or attachment on any of the Collateral by a third party other than Lender; (b) the transfer or disposition of any Collateral, except as expressly permitted by this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents; or (c) except as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents Lender at any time receives a report from a Texas state registry indicating that Lender’s security interest in some or all of the Collateral is not prior to all other security interests or other interests reflected in the report, and such situation is not cured within ten (10) days following written notice by Lender to Borrowers of such situation.


 

 


9.         Default Remedies.  At any time after a Default, Lender may elect (but is not obligated) to do any of the following:







(a)         Upon written notice to Borrowers, accelerate the maturity date of the Obligations and declare them to be immediately due and pay­able; and







(b)         Exercise from time to time all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under applicable law, including the UCC.







Lender shall notify Borrowers (either concurrently or promptly thereafter) of any of the preceding actions taken by it, but its failure to do so will not affect the validity of any action taken by it or any of its rights or interests under this Security Agreement.







Lender may exercise any of its rights or remedies seri­ally, wholly, partially, or collectively, and the exercise of any one right does not preclude the exercise of any other right.  Lender has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting from any other Person, and Lender may release, modify, or waive any collateral provided by another person to secure any of the Obligations without affecting in any manner Lender’s rights against Borrowers or the Collateral.  Borrowers waive any right they might have to require Lender to pursue any person for any of the Obligations.  Borrowers waive any and all rights that they might have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Security Agreement, including Lender’s right after an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral to exercise Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral.


 




  





6











  











After a Default, Borrowers, at its sole expense and at Lender’s request, shall assemble any Collateral that is not in Lender’s possession and make it avail­able to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender.  Any notice of sale, disposition, or other intended action by Lender that is given to Borrowers at the address for Borrowers listed in this Security Agreement at least ten days before the action is taken will con­stitute reasonable notice of disposition to Borrowers.  Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral and may specifically disclaim warranties of title and other warranties without adversely affecting the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.







Lender is not obligated to resort to any Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order.  Lender may apply any Proceeds from a disposition of any of the Collateral toward payment of any of the Obligations, in such order of application as Lender elects in its sole discretion, and Borrowers are liable to Lender for any deficiency between the Proceeds realized on any disposition of the Collateral and the amount of Obligations remaining unpaid.  Borrowers promptly shall pay to Lender, on demand, all costs incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement, interpretation, and administration of its rights under this Security Agreement.







Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is entitled, including all costs and expenses that Lender is permitted to deduct from such proceeds pursuant to this Security Agreement and all reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency.


 


 10.          Power of Attorney.  Borrowers irrevocably appoint Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority and with full power of substitution, whether or not any Default exists, to sign on behalf of Borrowers any registration, notice of lien, financing statement, or other document covering the Collateral as Lender reasonably considers necessary in its sole discretion to create, perfect, and preserve a valid security interest in the Collateral in favor of Lender, and, after a Default, to do any of the following as fully as Borrowers lawfully might do:







(a)           At Lender’s sole expense and to make claims with respect to the Collateral under any insurance policy of Borrowers and to otherwise act to collect any insurance proceeds with respect to the Collateral







(b)           Exchange, surrender, or substitute any Collateral;







(c)           Renew or extend any liability owing to Borrowers under any Collateral;







(d)           Defend, settle, prosecute, or compromise any claim, action, or proceeding with respect to the Collateral;









  





7











  






(e)           Transfer the record title or ownership of any Collateral into the name of Lender or Lender’s nominee;







(f)           Sell, assign, pledge, indorse, transfer, grant a security interest in, and make any agreement with respect to, any of the Collateral;







(g)           Demand, collect, receive, and apply to any of the Obligations, in any order of applica­tion that Lender elects in its sole discretion, all Proceeds and payments or monies due or to become due to Borrowers in respect of the Collateral; and







(h)           Endorse and collect all items, checks, drafts, orders, and instruments for the payment of money that are payable to Borrowers on account of the Collateral and come into the posses­sion of Lender, to give full discharge for same, and to apply all amounts col­lected to the Obligations in any order of application that Lender elects in its sole discre­tion.







This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest.  Lender is under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges, and options expressly or implicitly granted to Lender in this Security Agreement and is not liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so.  Lender is not liable for any act, mistake, omission, or error of judgment in its individual capacity or in its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its willful misconduct.


 


 11.         Termination.  This Security Agreement and the security interests of Lender under it will terminate when the all the Obligations have been paid in full in cash or the Note has been converted into shares of WTI’s Class C Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Note, but only if Borrowers do not file (and none of the creditors of Borrowers file against them), within 91 calendar days after the first date when all the Obligations are paid and performed in full, a petition seeking relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or debtor relief law and a claim for recovery or re­payment of any amount paid on the Obligations or for avoidance of any security interest in the Collateral.  An affidavit or written statement of Lender, or any duly appointed agent or attorney-in-fact for Lender, that shows or asserts that any of the Obligations remain unpaid will constitute presumptive evidence of the continuing effectiveness of this Security Agreement and the security interests of Lender under it, and any interested person is autho­rized to rely on it.   When all of the Obligations have been fully paid (or the Note has been converted in accordance with its terms), Lender promptly shall: (i) deliver to Borrowers the original Note, marked “cancelled”; and (ii) assign, indorse, deliver and transfer to Borrowers, against receipt, without recourse to or warranty by Lender, any and all Col­lateral (if any) that is then held by Lender under this Security Agreement and has not been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement.  On termination of this Security Agreement and at the request and at the expense of Borrowers, Lender shall terminate all effective financing state­ments in favor of Lender that are then on file or recorded with respect to the Collateral.

 12.          Legal Proceedings.  The validity, construction, interpretation, and enforceability of this Security Agreement are governed by the laws of the State of Texas and the federal laws of the United States of America, excluding the laws of those jurisdictions relating to resolution of conflicts with laws of other jurisdictions and except to the extent the UCC provides for the application of the law of another state.  Borrowers and Lender consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Texas, stipulate that the proper and convenient venue for any legal proceeding between them that pertains to either this Security Agreement or any of the Collateral is the State Court for Tarrant County, Texas, and waive any defenses, whether asserted by motion or pleading, that this venue is improper or inconvenient.







Except as expressly prohibited by law, Borrowers waive any right they might have to claim or recover any special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages.  Borrowers certify that neither Lender nor any agent, attorney, or representative of Lender has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Lender would not seek to enforce the foregoing waivers or other waivers contained in this Security Agreement, and acknowledges that Lender has relied on, among other things, the foregoing waivers and certification.







In any legal proceeding between Borrowers and Lender that arises out of this Security Agreement and pertains to the validity or enforcement of this Security Agreement or Lender’s security interests in the Collat­eral granted under it, the non-prevailing party will reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable costs incurred by the prevailing party as a result of the legal proceeding.  If Lender becomes a party to any legal proceeding arising out of this Security Agreement that is initiated by any person other than Borrowers and that per­tains to the valid­ity or enforcement of this Security Agreement or Lender’s secu­rity interests in the Collateral granted under it, Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs incurred by it in con­nection with the legal proceeding, regardless of who prevails.







BORROWERS KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT BY LENDER TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.


 


 13.          Notices.  Every notice, consent, or approval required or permitted under this Security Agreement will be valid only if it is in writing (whether or not this Security Agreement expressly states that it must be in writing), delivered personally or by telecopy, commercial courier, or first class, postage prepaid United States mail (whether or not certified or registered and regardless of whether a return receipt is received or requested by the sender) and addressed by the sender to the party who is the intended recipient at its address list­ed in this Security Agreement, or to any other address as the party may have previously designated by written notice given to the other party in accordance with this section.  A validly given no­tice will be effective on the earlier of its receipt, if de­livered personally or by telecopy or com­mer­cial courier, or the third day after it is postmarked by the United States Postal Service, if delivered by first class, postage prepaid United States mail.  Each party promptly shall notify the other of any change in its mailing address listed in this Security Agreement.  Each notice, consent, or approval sent by telecopy must be confirmed by United States mail in the manner provided in this section to be valid.  The cur­rent mailing address­es and telecopy numbers for Borrowers and Lender are as follows:

14.           Waiver and Amendment; Assignment.







(a)           A waiver, amend­ment, modification, or termination of this Security Agreement will be valid and effective only if it is in writing and signed by Borrowers and Lender.  In addition, a written waiver by Lender of a Default under this Security Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any other Default or of a succeeding Default under the same provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.  A delay, omission, or course of dealing on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power, or remedy will not operate as a waiver of it, except when this Security Agreement expressly requires the right, power, or remedy to be exercised within a specified time, and a single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power, or remedy does not preclude any further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy.  Lender’s exercise or failure to exercise any right, power, or remedy does not consti­tute a waiver of any Default by Borrowers under this Security Agreement.  This Security Agreement is not assignable (by operation of law or otherwise) by Borrowers without the advance written approval of Lender, which it may withhold in its sole discretion.


 




  





10











  











(b)           The assignment of this Security Agreement by Borrowers without the advance written approval of Lender will constitute a Default by Borrowers and will be invalid and unenforceable as to Lender.







(c)           Lender may assign its rights and interests under this Security Agreement, and if Lender assigns those rights and interests, Borrowers shall render performance under this Security Agreement to the assignee.







15.           Miscellaneous.  Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of Borrowers’ obligations under this Security Agreement.  This Security Agreement will become effective on the date stated at the end of it, when it has been signed by Borrowers and Lender.  When any provision of this Security Agreement requires or prohibits action to be taken by a person, the provision applies regard­less of whether the action is taken directly or indirectly by the person.  The headings preceding the sections of this Security Agreement are solely for convenient reference and neither constitute a part of this Security Agreement nor affect its meaning, interpretation, or effect. This Security Agreement inures to the benefit of Lender and its assignees and suc­cessors in interest and is binding on Borrowers and its assignees and succes­sors in interest and shall bind all persons that become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement.  No reference in this Security Agreement to “Proceeds” authorizes any sale, transfer, or other disposition of any Collateral by Borrowers except in the ordinary course of its business.  Each provision of this Security Agreement should be construed and interpreted so it is valid and enforceable under applicable law.  If a provision of this Security Agreement (or the application of it) is held by a court to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be deemed separable from the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement and will not affect the validity or interpretation of the other provisions of this Security Agreement or the application of that provision to a person or circumstance to which it is valid and enforceable.
