organization identification number is also set forth under the signature below.  The Debtor will not change its form or jurisdiction of organization without giving at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice thereof to the LC Providers and taking, at the Debtor's sole expense, all actions requested by the LC Providers to maintain and preserve the LC Providers' security interest in the Collateral as a valid, enforceable, perfected, security interest second in priority only to the security
interest of RBC, including, but not limited to, filing financing statements specified by the LC Providers.




 

 


	
  
	
(b)
	
The Debtor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, grant to the LC Providers a valid security interest in the Collateral and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Debtor of this Agreement do not contravene the Debtor’s organizational documents, or violate any provision of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment,
order or decree and will not conflict with, or constitute a breach or default under, any indenture, loan agreement, contract or other agreement or instrument to which the Debtor is a party or by which the Debtor or any of its property is bound.




 

 


	
  
	
(c)
	
No authorization, consent or approval or other action by, and no notice to or other filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the grant by the Debtor of the security interest granted hereby, the due execution and delivery by the Debtor of this Agreement or the performance by the Debtor of any of its obligations hereunder, except filing of a financing statement in the office of the
Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.




 

 


	
  
	
(d)
	
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Debtor and is the Debtor's legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Debtor in accordance with its terms, subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the enforceability of rights of creditors generally and to general equitable principles that may
limit the right to obtain equitable remedies.  This Agreement creates in the LC Providers' favor a valid and, upon the filing of an appropriate financing statement in the office of the Secretary of State of the State
of Nevada, perfected (to the extent perfection is obtained by the filing of such financing statement) lien on and security interest in the Collateral, enforceable against the Debtor and all third parties and superior in right to all other existing security interests, liens, encumbrances or charges, excluding the first priority interest of RBC, existing or future.  Upon such filing, no filing or recording of any other
financing statement or other instrument and no recording, filing or indexing of this Agreement is necessary in order to preserve and protect the LC Providers' security interest in the Collateral as a legal, valid and enforceable, perfected (to such extent) security interest in the Collateral, except filing of appropriate continuation statements with respect to financing statements.




 

 


	
  
	
(e)
	
Except for the security interest granted hereby and the security interest granted to RBC, the Debtor is, and as to any Collateral acquired by the Debtor after the date hereof will be, the owner and holder of all the Collateral free and clear of any security interest, lien, charge, encumbrance or other adverse claim, and the Debtor will defend all of the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, against
all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein, and will take all steps to maintain the security interest of the LC Providers as a valid and fully perfected lien second in priority only to the security interest of RBC, and Debtor shall immediately take all steps so that the LC Providers’ security interest shall become a first priority security interest upon the payment in full of amounts owed to RBC under the July 2008 Agreement.  If RBC fails to file
a termination statement of its financing statement within 10 days of RBC receiving payment in full under the July 2008 Agreement, Debtor shall send an authenticated demand to RBC no later than 10 days thereafter.  If Debtor fails to send an authenticated demand to RBC within such time period, Debtor grants the LC Providers a limited power of attorney to send an authenticated demand to RBC and/or file a termination statement of RBC’s financing statement, if RBC does not respond to the authenticated
demand within 20 days.

irrevocably appoints the LC Providers as the Debtor’s agent for the purpose of signing and filing such financing statements.  The Debtor further authorizes description of the Collateral on financing statements and other public filings using generic terms such as "all assets" and "all personal property".

shall become a part of the Obligations secured by this Agreement.

The Debtor will not, without the prior written consent
of the LC Providers, create or permit to exist any security interest, lien, charge, encumbrance or other adverse claim on any of the Collateral, other than the security interest in favor of the LC Providers created by this Agreement and the security interest of RBC.




 

 


	
  
	
(j)
	
The Debtor will fully and punctually perform any duty required of it in connection with the Collateral and will not take any action, including the amendment of any contract or the waiver of any contract rights, which will impair, damage or destroy the LC Providers’ rights with respect to the Collateral or hereunder or the value thereof.
