	6.	 	Default/Remedies. 

  
 (a)    A default exists if: 
  
   (i)    Debtor fails to timely pay the Obligation or fails to perform any obligation or covenant in this
Agreement for a period in excess of 20 days following written notice from Secured Party; 
  
  (ii)    any warranty, covenant, or representation in the Security Agreement between Debtor and Secured Party in
this Agreement is materially false when made; 
  
 (iii)    a receiver is appointed for Debtor or any Collateral; 
  
 (iv)    any Collateral is assigned for the benefit of creditors; 






    (v)    a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is
commenced by Debtor; 
  
   (vi)    a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced against Debtor and the proceeding continues without dismissal for sixty days, the party against whom the proceeding is commenced admits the material
allegations of the petition against it, or an order for relief is entered; 
  
  (vii)    Debtor is dissolved, begins to wind up its affairs, is authorized to dissolve or wind up its affairs by its governing body or persons, or any event occurs or condition exists that
permits the dissolution or winding up of the affairs of Debtor; or 
  
 (viii)    any Collateral is impaired by loss, theft, damage, levy and execution, issuance of an official writ or order of seizure, or destruction, unless it is promptly replaced with Collateral of
like kind and quality or restored to its former condition. 
  
 (b)    If a default exists, Secured Party may: 
  
     (i)    demand, collect, convert, redeem, settle, compromise, receipt for, realize on, sue for, and adjust the Collateral either in Secured Party’s or Debtor’s
name, as Secured Party desires, or take control of any proceeds of the Collateral and apply the proceeds against the Obligation; 
  
    (ii)    take possession of any Collateral not already in Secured Party’s possession, without
demand or legal process, and for that purpose Debtor grants Secured Party the right to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located; 
  
   (iii)    without taking possession, sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at any public or
private sale in accordance with law; and 
  
   (iv)    exercise any rights and remedies granted by law or this Agreement. 
  
    (v)    notify obligors on the Collateral to pay Secured Party directly; 
  
   (vi)    as Debtor’s
agent, make any endorsements in Debtor’s name and on Debtor’s behalf of any instruments in the Collateral and to any proceeds of the Collateral; 
  
  (vii)    exercise and enforce all rights, including voting rights, available to an owner of the Collateral; and

  
 (viii)    transfer record
ownership of any Collateral to Secured Party. 
  
 (c)    Foreclosure of this security interest by suit does not limit Secured Party’s remedies, including the right to sell the Collateral under the terms of this Agreement. Secured Party may exercise all remedies at
the same or different times, and no remedy is a defense to any 






 other. Secured Party’s rights and remedies include all those granted by law and those specified in this Agreement.

  
 (d)    Secured Party’s delay in
exercising, partial exercise of, or failure to exercise any of its remedies or rights does not waive Secured Party’s rights to subsequently exercise those remedies or rights. Secured Party’s waiver of any default does not waive any other
default by Debtor. Secured Party’s waiver of any right in this Agreement or of any default is binding only if it is in writing. Secured Party may remedy any default without waiving it. 
  
 (e)    Secured Party has no obligation to clean or
otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Other than exercising reasonable care to assure safe custody of the Collateral in its possession, Secured Party has no responsibility for the Collateral. Secured Party has no obligation to collect any of
the Collateral and is not liable for failure to collect any of the Collateral, for failure to preserve any right pertaining to the Collateral, or for any act or omission on the part of Secured Party or Secured Party’s officers, agents, or
employees, except willful misconduct. 
  
 (f)    Secured Party has no obligation to satisfy the Obligation by attempting to collect the Obligation from any other person liable for it. Secured Party may release, modify, or waive any Collateral provided by any
other person to secure any of the Obligation. If Secured Party attempts to collect the Obligation from any other person liable for it or releases, modifies, or waives any Collateral provided by any other person, that will not affect Secured
Party’s rights against Debtor. Debtor waives any right Debtor may have to require Secured Party to pursue any third person for any of the Obligation. 
  
 (g)    If Secured Party must comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the
Collateral, such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of a sale of the Collateral. 
  
 (h)    Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Secured Party may specifically
disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of a sale of the Collateral. 
  
 (i)    If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral on credit, Debtor will be credited only with
payments actually made by the purchaser and received by Secured Party for application to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Debtor will be credited with
the proceeds of the sale. 
  
 (k)    If
Secured Party purchases any of the Collateral being sold, Secured Party may pay for the Collateral by crediting the purchase price against the Obligation. 
  
 (l)    Secured Party has no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Debtor or against or in payment of the Note, any of the Other
Obligation[s], or any other obligation owed to Secured Party by Debtor or any other person. 






 (m)    If the Collateral is sold after default, recitals in the bill of sale or
transfer will be prima facie evidence of their truth and all prerequisites to the sale specified by this Agreement and by law will be presumed satisfied. 
  

	7.	 	General. 

  
 (a)    Secured Party may at any time: 
  
 (i)    take control of proceeds of insurance on the Collateral and reduce any part of the Obligation accordingly or
permit Debtor to use the funds to repair or replace the Collateral and 
  
 (ii)    purchase single-interest insurance coverage that will protect only Secured Party if Debtor fails to maintain insurance, and premiums for the insurance will become part of the Obligation.

  
 (b)    Notice is reasonable if it is
mailed, postage prepaid, to Debtor at Debtor’s Mailing Address at least ten days before any public sale or ten days before the time when the Collateral may be otherwise disposed of without further notice to Debtor. 
  
 (c)    This security interest will neither affect nor be
affected by any other security for any of the Obligation. Neither extensions of any of the Obligation nor releases of any of the Collateral will affect the priority or validity of this security interest. 
  
 (d)    This Agreement binds, benefits, and may be
enforced by the successors in interest of Secured Party and will bind all persons who become bound as debtors to this Agreement. Assignment of any part of the Obligation and Secured Party’s delivery of any part of the Collateral will fully
discharge Secured Party from responsibility for that part of the Collateral. If such an assignment is made, Debtor will render performance under this Agreement to the assignee. Debtor waives and will not assert against any assignee any claims,
defenses, or setoffs that Debtor could assert against Secured Party except defenses that cannot be waived. All representations, warranties, and obligations are joint and several as to each Debtor. 
  
 (e)    This Agreement may be amended only by an
instrument in writing signed by Secured Party and Debtor. 
  
 (f)    The unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision. 
  
 (g)    This Agreement will be construed according to Texas law, without regard to choice-of-law rules of
any jurisdiction. This Agreement is to be performed in Harris County, Texas. 
  
 (h)    Interest on the Obligation secured by this Agreement will not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under law.
Any interest in excess of that maximum amount will be credited on the 






 principal of the Obligation or, if that has been paid, refunded. On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment,
any such excess will be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid, credited on the principal of the Obligation or, if the principal of the Obligation has been paid, refunded. This provision overrides any
conflicting provisions in this and all other instruments concerning the Obligation. 
  
 (i)    In no event may this Agreement secure payment of any debt subject to title IV of the Texas Finance Code or create a lien otherwise prohibited by law. 
  
 (j)    When the context requires, singular nouns and
pronouns include the plural. 
  
 (k)    Any
term defined in sections 1.101 to 11.108 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code and not defined in this Agreement has the meaning given to the term in the Code.
