ARTICLE III

 

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

 

Section 3.1.  Representations
and Warranties.  Each of the
representations and warranties in the Facilities Agreement made by Debtors is
true and correct.  In addition, each
Debtor hereby

 

8

 

represents and warrants to Secured Party and Security Beneficiaries
(except in relation to matters disclosed to Secured Party and Security Beneficiaries
by the relevant party and accepted by Secured Party in writing, or disclosed
and accepted in some other manner with which Secured Party agrees) as follows:

 

(a)  Ownership Free of Liens.

 

(i)                   As of the First Recalculation Date, such
Debtor has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all
Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims except for Permitted Encumbrances.

 

(ii)                No effective financing statement or
other registration or instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of
the Collateral is on file in any recording office except any which have been
filed in favor of Secured Party relating to this Agreement.  None of the Collateral is in the possession
of any Person other than Debtors or Secured Party, except for Collateral being
transported in the ordinary course of business.

 

(b)  No Conflicts or Consents.  Except as expressly contemplated in the
Finance Documents, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no
notice to or filing with any court, governmental authority or third party is
required in connection with the grant by Debtors of the security interest
herein, or the exercise by Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(c)  Security Interest.

 

(i)                                     Debtors have and
will have at all times full right, corporate power and corporate authority to
grant a security interest in the Collateral to Secured Party as provided
herein, free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim, or encumbrance except for
any Permitted Encumbrance.  This
Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest in favor of Secured
Party in the Collateral, which security interest secures all of the Secured
Obligations.

 

(ii)                                  As of the First
Recalculation Date, Debtors have and will have at all times full rights, power
and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Secured Party
as provided herein, free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim, or encumbrance
except for any Permitted Encumbrance.

 

(d)  Perfection.  The taking possession by Secured Party of
all money constituting Collateral from time to time will perfect, and establish
the first priority of, Secured Party’s security interest hereunder in such
Collateral.  Secured Party’s control of
all Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, and Letter-of-Credit Rights constituting
Collateral from time to time will perfect, and establish the first priority of,
Secured Party’s security interest hereunder in such Collateral.  The filing of a financing statement with the
secretary of state (or equivalent

 

9

 

governmental official) of the state in which Debtors are organized
which sufficiently describes all other Collateral will perfect, and establish
the first priority of, Secured Party’s security interest hereunder in such
Collateral.  No further or subsequent
filing, recording, registration, other public notice or other action is
necessary or desirable to perfect or otherwise continue, preserve or protect
such security interest in the state of organization of the relevant Debtor, or with
respect to Borrower, the District of Columbia, except (i) for continuation
statements described in UCC ‘9.515(d), (ii) for filings required to be filed in
the event of a change in the name, identity, or corporate structure of a
Debtor, or (iii) in the event any financing statement filed by Secured Party
relating hereto otherwise becomes inaccurate or incomplete.

 

(e)  Solvency.  Each Debtor is not “insolvent” on the date
hereof (that is, the sum of each Debtor’s absolute and contingent liabilities,
including the Secured Obligations, does not exceed the fair market value of
such Debtor’s assets).  Each Debtor’s
capital is adequate for the businesses in which such Debtor is engaged and
intends to be engaged.  Each Debtor has
not incurred (whether hereby or otherwise), nor does such Debtor intend to
incur or believe that it will incur, debts which will be beyond its ability to
pay as such debts mature.

 

(f)  Finance Documents.  Each Debtor gives and repeats the
representations and warranties set forth above, to the Secured Party, at the
same time as it gives or repeats the representations or warranties in the
Facilities Agreement or any other Finance Document.

 

Section 3.2.  General
Covenants Applicable to Collateral. 
Unless Secured Party shall otherwise consent in writing, Debtors will at
all times comply with the covenants contained in the Facilities Agreement which
are applicable to Debtors for so long as any part of the Secured Obligations or
the Commitment is outstanding.  In
addition, Debtors will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this
Section 3.2.

 

(a)  Change of Name,
Location, or Structure; Additional Filings.  Debtors recognize that financing statements pertaining to the
Collateral have been or may be filed with the secretary of state (or equivalent
governmental official) of the state in which Debtors are organized.  Without limitation of any other covenant in
the Finance Documents, no Debtor will cause or permit any change to be made in
its name, identity or corporate structure, or any change to be made to its
jurisdiction of organization, unless such Debtor shall have first (1) notified
Secured Party of such change at least forty-five (45) days prior to the
effective date of such change, (2) taken all action requested by Secured Party
(under the following subsection (b) or otherwise) for the purpose of
further confirming and protecting Secured Party’s security interests and rights
under this Agreement and the perfection and priority thereof, and (3) if
requested by Secured Party, provided to Secured Party a legal opinion to its
satisfaction confirming that such change will not adversely affect in any way
Secured Party’s security interests and rights under this Agreement or the
perfection or priority thereof.  In any
notice furnished pursuant to this subsection, Debtors will expressly state that
the notice is required by this Agreement and contains facts that may require
additional filings of financing statements or other notices for the purposes of
continuing perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.

 

10

 

(b)  Further Assurances.  Debtors will, at their expense as from time
to time requested by Secured Party, promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments, agreements, filings and registrations, and take all further
action, in order:  (i) to confirm and
validate this Agreement and Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder, (ii)
to correct any errors or omissions in the descriptions herein of the Secured Obligations
or the Collateral or in any other provisions hereof, (iii) to perfect, register
and protect the security interests and rights created or purported to be
created hereby or to maintain or upgrade in rank the priority of such security
interests and rights, including without limitation registering such security
interests and rights in any international jurisdiction deemed necessary by
Secured Party including Australia, (iv) to enable Secured Party to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral, or (v)
to otherwise give Secured Party the full benefits of the rights and remedies
described in or granted under this Agreement. 
As part of the foregoing Debtors will, whenever requested by Secured
Party (1) execute and file any financing statements, continuation statements,
and other filings or registrations relating to Secured Party’s security
interests and rights hereunder, and any amendments thereto, and (2) mark their
books and records relating to any Collateral to reflect that such Collateral is
subject to this Agreement and the security interests hereunder.  To the extent requested by Secured Party
from time to time, Debtors will obtain from any material account debtor or other
obligor on the Collateral the acknowledgment of such account debtor or obligor
that such Collateral is subject to this Agreement.

 

(c)  Inspection of Collateral.  Debtors will keep adequate records
concerning the Collateral and will permit Secured Party and all representatives
appointed by Secured Party, including independent accountants, agents,
attorneys, appraisers and any other persons, to inspect any of the Collateral
and the books and records of or relating to the Collateral at any time during
normal business hours, and to make photocopies and photographs thereof, and to
write down and record any information which such representatives obtain.

 

(d)  Ownership, Liens,
Possession and Transfers.  As of the
First Recalculation Date, Debtors will maintain good and marketable title to
all Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims
except for Permitted Encumbrances. 
Debtors will not grant or allow to remain in effect, and Debtors will
cause to be terminated, any financing statement or other registration or
instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral, except
any which have been filed in favor of Secured Party relating to this
Agreement.  Debtors will defend Secured
Party’s right, title and special property and security interest in and to the Collateral
against the claims of any Person.

 

(e)  Impairment of Security
Interest.  Debtors will not take or
fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the enforceability of
Secured Party’s security interest in any Collateral.

 

11

 

(f)                                    Finance
Documents.  Each Debtor agrees to
comply with all of its obligations under the Finance Documents in accordance
with their terms.

(h)  apply by appropriate
judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any
part thereof, and Debtors hereby consent to any such appointment.

 

Debtors agree that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Debtors of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification.

regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,

reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses, incurred by Secured Party in connection with (i) the administration
of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the

(c)  To the reimbursement of

(d)  As set forth in the Comet
Ridge Project Security Deed and the Facilities Agreement;

 

(e)  By holding the same as
Collateral;

 

14

 

(f)  To the payment of any other
amounts required by applicable law (including any provision of the UCC); and

 

(g)  By delivery to Debtors or
to whoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct.

 

Section 4.4.  Indemnity
and Expenses.  In addition to, but
not in qualification or limitation of, any similar obligations under other
Finance Documents:

 

(a)  Debtors will indemnify Secured Party and
each Security Beneficiary from and against any and all claims, losses and
liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including
enforcement of this Agreement), WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CLAIMS, LOSSES AND
LIABILITIES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT CAUSED BY OR ARISING OUT OF SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, except to the extent
such claims, losses or liabilities are proximately caused by such indemnified
party’s individual gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(b)  Debtors will upon demand
pay to Secured Party the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of Secured Party’s counsel and of any
experts and agents, which Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the
transactions which give rise to this Agreement, (ii) the preparation of
this Agreement and the perfection and preservation of this security interest
created under this Agreement, (iii) the administration of this Agreement; (iv)

Secured Party’s individual gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Debtors will also upon demand pay to Secured
Party the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the fees and
disbursements of Secured Party’s counsel and of any experts and agents, which
Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the exercise or enforcement
of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder; or (ii) the failure by Debtors
to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, except expenses resulting
from Secured Party’s individual gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Section 4.5.  Non-Judicial
Remedies.  In granting to Secured
Party the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process
or judicial hearing, Debtors expressly waive, renounce and knowingly relinquish
any legal right which might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its
rights by judicial process.  In so
providing for non-judicial remedies, Debtors recognize and concede that such
remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial
necessity, and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.  Nothing herein is intended, however, to
prevent Secured Party from resorting to judicial process at its option.

 

Section 4.6.  Other
Recourse.  Debtors waive any right
to require Secured Party or any Security Beneficiary to proceed against any
other Person, to exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Secured
Obligations, to have any Other Liable Party joined with Debtors in any

 

15

 

suit arising out of the Secured Obligations or the Finance Documents,
or to pursue any other remedy in Secured Party’s power.  Debtors further waive any and all notice of
acceptance of the this Agreement and of the creation, modification,
rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Secured
Obligations of any Other Liable Party from time to time.  Debtors further waive any defense arising by
reason of any disability or other defense of any Other Liable Party or by
reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Other
Liable Party.  This Agreement shall
continue irrespective of the fact that the liability of any Other Liable Party
may have ceased and irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any other
Finance Document to which Debtor or any Other Liable Party may be a party, and
notwithstanding any death, incapacity, reorganization, or bankruptcy of any
Other Liable Party or any other event or proceeding affecting any Other Liable
Party.  Until all of the Secured
Obligations shall have been paid in full, Debtors shall have no right to
subrogation and Debtors waive the right to enforce any remedy which Secured
Party or any Security Beneficiary has or may hereafter have against any Other
Liable Party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any
other security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Secured Party.  Debtors authorize Secured Party and each
Security Beneficiary, without notice or demand, without any reservation of
rights against Debtors, and without in any way affecting Debtors’ liability
hereunder or on the Secured Obligations, from time to time to (a) take or hold
any other property of any type from any other Person as security for the
Secured Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of
such other property, (b) after and during the continuation of an Event of Default
or Potential Event of Default, apply the Collateral or such other property and
direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Secured Party may in its
discretion determine, (c) renew, extend for any period, accelerate, modify,
compromise, settle or release any of the obligations of any Other Liable Party
in respect to any or all of the Secured Obligations or other security for the
Secured Obligations, (d) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement any of the
provisions of any Finance Document with any Person other than Debtors, and (e)
release or substitute any Other Liable Party.

 

Section 4.7  Limitation
on Duty of Secured Party in Respect of Collateral.  Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in
the custody thereof, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral in
its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or
bailee or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto.  Secured
Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the
Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and in the
absence of fraud, gross negligence, breach of trust or wilful misconduct, shall
not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral,
or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of
the Secured Party or any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or
other agent or bailee selected by Secured Party in good faith.

 

Section 4.8.  Appointment
of Collateral Agents.  At any time
or times, in order to comply with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction,
Secured Party may appoint any bank or trust company or one or more other Persons,
either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly with

 

16

 

Secured Party, or to act as separate agent or agents on behalf of the
Security Beneficiary, with such power and authority as may be necessary for the
effectual operation of the provisions hereof and may be specified in the
instrument of appointment.  In so doing
Secured Party may, in the name and on behalf of Debtors, give to such co-agent
or separate agent indemnities and other protections similar to those provided
in Section 4.4.

ARTICLE III

Representations,
Warranties and Covenants

 

Section 3.1.                                   Representations
and Warranties.  Each of the
representations and warranties in the Facilities Agreement made by Debtors is
true and correct.  In addition, each
Debtor hereby represents and warrants to Secured Party and Security
Beneficiaries (except in relation to matters disclosed to Secured Party and
Security Beneficiaries by the relevant party and accepted by Secured Party in
writing, or disclosed and accepted in some other manner with which Secured
Party agrees) as follows:

 

(a)                                  Ownership
Free of Liens.

 

(i)                   As of the First Recalculation Date,
such Debtor has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of
all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims except for any Permitted Encumbrance.

 

(ii)                No effective financing statement or
other registration or instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of
the Collateral is on file in any recording office except any which have been
filed in favor of Secured Party relating to this Agreement.  None of the Collateral is in the possession
of any Person other than Debtors or Secured Party, except for Collateral being
transported in the ordinary course of business.

 

(b)                                 No
Conflicts or Consents.  Except as
expressly contemplated in the Finance Documents, no consent, approval,
authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing with any court,
governmental authority or third party is required in connection with the grant
by Debtors of the security interest herein, or the exercise by Secured Party of
its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Security
Interest.

 

(i)                                     Debtors have and
will have at all times full right, corporate power and corporate authority to
grant a security interest in the Collateral to Secured Party as provided herein,
free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim, or encumbrance except for any
Permitted Encumbrance.  This Agreement
creates a valid and binding security interest in favor of Secured Party in the
Collateral, which security interest secures all of the Secured Obligations.

 

(ii)                                  As of the First
Recalculation Date, Debtors have and will have at all times full right, power
and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Secured Party
as provided herein, free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim or encumbrance
except for any Permitted Encumbrance.

 

8

 

(d)                                 Perfection.  The taking possession by Secured Party of
all money constituting Collateral from time to time will perfect, and establish
the first priority of, Secured Party’s security interest hereunder in such
Collateral.  The filing of a financing
statement with the secretary of state (or equivalent governmental official) of
the state in which Debtors are organized which sufficiently describes all other
Collateral will perfect, and establish the first priority of, Secured Party’s
security interest hereunder in such Collateral.  No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration, other
public notice or other action is necessary or desirable to perfect or otherwise
continue, preserve or protect such security interest in the state of
organization of the relevant Debtor except (i) for continuation statements
described in UCC ‘9.515(d), (ii) for filings required to be filed in the event
of a change in the name, identity, or corporate structure of a Debtor, or (iii)
in the event any financing statement filed by Secured Party relating hereto
otherwise becomes inaccurate or incomplete.

 

(e)                                  Solvency.  Each Debtor is not “insolvent” on the date
hereof (that is, the sum of each Debtor=s absolute and contingent liabilities,
including the Secured Obligations, does not exceed the fair market value of
such Debtor=s assets).  Each Debtor=s
capital is adequate for the businesses in which such Debtor is engaged and
intends to be engaged.  Each Debtor has
not incurred (whether hereby or otherwise), nor does such Debtor intend to
incur or believe that it will incur, debts which will be beyond its ability to
pay as such debts mature.

 

(f)                                    Finance
Documents.  Each Debtor gives and
repeats the representations and warranties set forth above, to the Secured
Party, at the same time as it gives or repeats the representations or
warranties in the Facilities Agreement or any other Finance Document.

 

Section 3.2.                                   General Covenants
Applicable to Collateral.  Unless
Secured Party shall otherwise consent in writing, Debtors will at all times
comply with the covenants contained in the Facilities Agreement which are
applicable to Debtors for so long as any part of the Secured Obligations or the
Commitment is outstanding.  In addition,
Debtors will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this
Section 3.2.

 

(a)                                  Change
of Name, Location, or Structure; Additional Filings.  Debtors recognize that financing statements
pertaining to the Collateral have been or may be filed with the secretary of
state (or equivalent governmental official) of the state in which Debtors are
organized.  Without limitation of any
other covenant in the Finance Documents, no Debtor will cause or permit any
change to be made in its name, identity or corporate structure, or any change
to be made to its jurisdiction of organization, unless such Debtor shall have
first (1) notified Secured Party of such change at least forty-five (45) days
prior to the effective date of such change, (2) taken all action requested by
Secured Party (under the following subsection (b) or otherwise) for the
purpose of further confirming and protecting Secured Party’s security interests
and rights under this

 

9

 

Agreement and the perfection and priority thereof, and (3) if requested
by Secured Party, provided to Secured Party a legal opinion to its satisfaction
confirming that such change will not adversely affect in any way Secured
Party’s security interests and rights under this Agreement or the perfection or
priority thereof.  In any notice
furnished pursuant to this subsection, Debtors will expressly state that the
notice is required by this Agreement and contains facts that may require
additional filings of financing statements or other notices for the purposes of
continuing perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.

 

(b)                                 Further
Assurances.  Debtors will, at their
expense as from time to time requested by Secured Party, promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments, agreements, filings and registrations, and
take all further action, in order:  (i)
to confirm and validate this Agreement and Secured Party’s rights and remedies
hereunder, (ii) to correct any errors or omissions in the descriptions herein
of the Secured Obligations or the Collateral or in any other provisions hereof,
(iii) to perfect, register and protect the security interests and rights
created or purported to be created hereby or to maintain or upgrade in rank the
priority of such security interests and rights, including without limitation
registering such security interests and rights in any international
jurisdiction deemed necessary by Secured Party including Australia, (iv) to enable
Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in
respect of the Collateral, or (v) to otherwise give Secured Party the full
benefits of the rights and remedies described in or granted under this
Agreement.  As part of the foregoing
Debtors will, whenever requested by Secured Party (1) execute and file any
financing statements, continuation statements, and other filings or
registrations relating to Secured Party’s security interests and rights
hereunder, and any amendments thereto, and (2) mark their books and records
relating to any Collateral to reflect that such Collateral is subject to this
Agreement and the security interests hereunder.  To the extent requested by Secured Party from time to time,
Debtors will obtain from any material account debtor or other obligor on the
Collateral the acknowledgment of such account debtor or obligor that such
Collateral is subject to this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Inspection
of Collateral.  Debtors will keep
adequate records concerning the Collateral and will permit Secured Party and
all representatives appointed by Secured Party, including independent
accountants, agents, attorneys, appraisers and any other persons, to inspect
any of the Collateral and the books and records of or relating to the Collateral
at any time during normal business hours, and to make photocopies and
photographs thereof, and to write down and record any information which such
representatives obtain.

 

(d)                                 Ownership,
Liens, Possession and Transfers.  As
of the First Recalculation Date, Debtors will maintain good and marketable
title to all Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse
claims except for Permitted Encumbrances. 
Debtors will not grant or allow to remain in effect, and Debtors will
cause to be terminated, any

 

10

 

financing statement or other registration or instrument similar in
effect covering all or any part of the Collateral, except any which have been
filed in favor of Secured Party relating to this Agreement.  Debtors will defend Secured Party’s right,
title and special property and security interest in and to the Collateral
against the claims of any Person.

 

(e)                                  Impairment
of Security Interest.  Debtors will
not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the
enforceability of Secured Party’s security interest in any Collateral.

 

(f)                                    Finance
Documents.  Each Debtor agrees to
comply with all of its obligations under the Finance Documents in accordance
with their terms.

(b)                                 Power
of Attorney.  Each Debtor hereby

reasonable expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be

allow one or more of the Security Beneficiaries to buy) the Collateral, or any
part thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily
sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely
distributed standard price quotations; and

 

(h)                                 apply
by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and Debtors hereby consent to any such
appointment.

 

Debtors agree that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Debtors of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. 
Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned.

 

Section 4.3.                                   Application of
Proceeds.  If any Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may in its discretion
apply any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral, and any cash proceeds
received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, to any or all of the
following in such order as Secured Party may (subject to the rights of Security
Beneficiaries under the Facilities Agreement) elect:

 

(a)                                  To
the repayment of the reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by Secured Party in connection
with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation,
use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of
Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure of Debtors to perform or observe
any of the provisions hereof;

 

(b)                                 To
the payment or other satisfaction of any Liens, encumbrances, or adverse claims
upon or against any of the Collateral;

 

13

 

(c)                                  To
the reimbursement of Secured Party for the amount of any obligations of Debtors
or any Other Liable Party paid or discharged by Secured Party pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement or the other Finance Documents, and of any
expenses of Secured Party payable by Debtor hereunder or under the other
Finance Documents;

 

(d)                                 As
set forth in the Comet Ridge Project Security Deed and the Facilities

(e)                                  By
holding the same as Collateral;

 

(f)                                    To
the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law (including any
provision of the UCC); and

 

(g)                                 By
delivery to Debtors or to whoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the
same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

 

Section 4.4.                                   Indemnity and
Expenses.  In addition to, but not
in qualification or limitation of, any similar obligations under other Finance
Documents:

 

(a)                                  Debtors
will indemnify Secured Party and each Security Beneficiary from and against any
and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this
Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement), WHETHER OR NOT SUCH
CLAIMS, LOSSES AND LIABILITIES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT CAUSED BY OR
ARISING OUT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY,
except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities are proximately caused
by such indemnified party’s individual gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(b)                                 Debtors
will upon demand pay to Secured Party the amount of any and all costs and
expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Secured Party’s
counsel and of any experts and agents, which Secured Party may incur in
connection with (i) the transactions which give rise to this Agreement,
(ii) the preparation of this Agreement and the perfection and preservation
of this security interest created under this Agreement, (iii) the
administration of this Agreement; (iv) the custody, preservation, use or
operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any
Collateral, except expenses resulting from Secured Party’s individual gross
negligence or willful misconduct. 
Debtors will also upon demand pay to Secured Party the amount of any and
all costs and expenses, including the fees and disbursements of Secured Party’s
counsel and of any experts and agents, which Secured Party may incur in
connection with (i) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of
Secured Party hereunder; or (ii) the failure by Debtors to perform or observe
any of the provisions hereof, except expenses resulting from Secured Party’s
individual gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

14

 

Section 4.5.                                   Non-Judicial
Remedies.  In granting to Secured
Party the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process
or judicial hearing, Debtors expressly waive, renounce and knowingly relinquish
any legal right which might otherwise require Secured Party to enforce its
rights by judicial process.  In so providing
for non-judicial remedies, Debtors recognize and concede that such remedies are
consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity, and
are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. 
Nothing herein is intended, however, to prevent Secured Party from
resorting to judicial process at its option.

 

Section 4.6.                                   Limited Recourse.  The liability of each Debtor to pay any amount under
this Agreement may be discharged from, and the recourse of the Secured Party or
any Security Beneficiary with respect to such Debtor (in respect of such
liability) is limited to, only the Collateral, despite anything else to the
contrary herein or in any of the Finance Documents, and only subject to the
terms of this Section 4.6. The Secured Party or any Security Beneficiary
may (a) do anything necessary to enforce its rights in connection with the
Collateral, and (b) take proceedings to obtain (i) an injunction or other order
to restrain any breach of the Finance Documents by Debtor, or (ii) declaratory
relief or some other similar judgment or order as to the obligations of a
Debtor under the Finance Documents.  The
Secured Party or any Security Beneficiary may not seek to recover any shortfall
in the amounts owing to it under this Agreement by applying to have Debtor
wound up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Party or any Security
Beneficiary may take action against TOGC individually, beyond the Collateral,
through any proceeding for all loss, damage, and expense suffered or incurred by
the Secured Party or any Security Beneficiary as a result of any of the
following:

 

(a)                                  TOGC’s
fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct in connection with any Finance
Document; or

 

(b)                                 a
representation or warranty by or on behalf of TOGC under any Finance Document
being found to have been incorrect or misleading when made or taken to be made;
or

 

(c)                                  TOGC’s
failure to comply with its obligations (other than an obligation to pay money)
under any Finance Document.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Party or any Security
Beneficiary may take action against TC individually, beyond the Collateral,
through any proceeding for all amounts payable by TC in the event of:

 

(a)                                  TC’s
fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct in connection with any Finance
Document; or

 

(b)

 

15

 

(i)                   a representation or warranty by or
on behalf of TC under any Finance Document being found to have been incorrect
or misleading when made or taken to be made; or

 

(ii)                TC’s failure to comply with its
obligations (other than an obligation to pay money) under any Finance Document.

 

where the Secured Party or any Security Beneficiary determines (which
it may do at its discretion) that the circumstance was a material factor in the
determination by it or another Security Beneficiary to give an instruction to
the Agent to act under clause 21-2 of the Facilities Agreement.

 

Section 4.7.                                   Other Recourse.  Debtors waive any right to require Secured
Party or any Security Beneficiary to proceed against any other Person, to
exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations, to have
any Other Liable Party joined with Debtors in any suit arising out of the
Secured Obligations or the Finance Documents, or to pursue any other remedy in
Secured Party’s power.  Debtors further
waive any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation,
modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the
Secured Obligations of any Other Liable Party from time to time.  Debtors further waive any defense arising by
reason of any disability or other defense of any Other Liable Party or by
reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Other
Liable Party.  This Agreement shall
continue irrespective of the fact that the liability of any Other Liable Party
may have ceased and irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any other
Finance Document to which Debtor or any Other Liable Party may be a party, and
notwithstanding any death, incapacity, reorganization, or bankruptcy of any
Other Liable Party or any other event or proceeding affecting any Other Liable
Party.  Until all of the Secured
Obligations shall have been paid in full, Debtors shall have no right to
subrogation and Debtors waive the right to enforce any remedy which Secured
Party or any Security Beneficiary has or may hereafter have against any Other
Liable Party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any
other security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Secured Party.  Debtors authorize Secured Party and each
Security Beneficiary, without notice or demand, without any reservation of
rights against Debtors, and without in any way affecting Debtors’ liability hereunder
or on the Secured Obligations, from time to time to (a) take or hold any other
property of any type from any other Person as security for the Secured
Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other
property, (b) after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, apply
the Collateral or such other property and direct the order or manner of sale
thereof as Secured Party may in its discretion determine, (c) renew, extend for
any period, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or release any of the
obligations of any Other Liable Party in respect to any or all of the Secured
Obligations or other security for the Secured Obligations, (d) waive, enforce,
modify, amend or supplement any of the provisions of any Finance Document with
any Person other than Debtors, and (e) release or substitute any Other Liable
Party.

Section 4.8.                                   Limitation on
Duty of Secured Party in Respect of Collateral.  Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof,
Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or
control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or as to the
preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
thereto.  Secured Party shall be deemed
to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its
possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which it accords its own property, and in the absence of fraud, gross
negligence, breach of trust or wilful misconduct, shall not be liable or
responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any
diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of the
Secured Party or any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or
other agent or bailee selected by Secured Party in good faith.

 

Appointment of Collateral Agents.  At any time or times, in order to comply
with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction, Secured Party may appoint any
bank or trust company or one or more other Persons, either to act as co-agent
or co-agents, jointly with Secured Party, or to act as separate agent or agents
on behalf of the Security Beneficiary, with such power and authority as may be
necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and may be
specified in the instrument of appointment. 
In so doing Secured Party may, in the name and on behalf of Debtors,
give to such co-agent or separate agent indemnities and other protections similar
to those provided in Section 4.4.

permitted hereunder shall be given as provided in the Facilities Agreement.

 

Section 5.2.                                   Amendments.  No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Debtors and
Secured Party, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent
to any departure by Debtors therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in
writing and signed by Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given and to the extent specified in such writing.

 

Section 5.3.                                   Preservation of
Rights.  No failure on the part of
Secured Party or any Security Beneficiary to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Finance Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right.  Neither the execution
nor the delivery of this Agreement shall in any manner impair or affect any
other security for the Secured Obligations. 
The rights and remedies of Secured Party provided herein and in the
other Finance Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise.  The rights of Secured Party

 

17

 

under any
Finance Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on
any attempt by Secured Party to exercise any of its rights under any other
Finance Document against such party or against any other Person.

 

Section 5.4.                                   Unenforceability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited

ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 5.5.                                   Survival of
Agreements.  All representations and

survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the execution and
delivery of any other Finance Documents and the creation of the Secured
Obligations, but expire upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 5.8 below.

 

Section 5.6.                                   Other Liable
Parties.  Neither this Agreement nor
the exercise by Secured Party or the failure of Secured Party to exercise any
right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law shall be construed as
relieving any Other Liable Party from liability on the Secured Obligations or
any deficiency thereon.

 

Section 5.7.                                   Binding Effect.  This Agreement creates a continuing security
interest in the Collateral and (a) shall be binding on Debtors and their
successors and assigns and (b) shall inure, together with all rights and
remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and Security
Beneficiaries and their respective successors, transferees, substitutes and
assigns.

 

Section 5.8.                                   Termination.  It is contemplated by the parties hereto
that there may be times when no Secured Obligations are outstanding, but
notwithstanding such occurrences, this Agreement shall remain valid and shall
be in full force and effect as to subsequent outstanding Secured
Obligations.  Upon the satisfaction in
full of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of the
Facilities Agreement and any other commitment of Security Beneficiaries to
extend credit or other financial accommodations (including without limitation
interest rate and currency hedges and other derivatives) to Borrower, then upon
written request for the termination hereof delivered by Debtors to Secured
Party this Agreement and the security interest created hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Debtors.  Secured Party will promptly and fully
thereafter, upon Debtors’ request and at Debtors’ expense, (a) return to
Debtors such of the Collateral in Secured Party’s possession as shall not have
been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof free
and clear of all debts, liens, encumbrances and/or impediments by, through and
under Secured Party but not otherwise, and (b) execute and deliver to Debtors
such documents as Debtors shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.

 

Section 5.9.                                   Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applicable to
contracts made and to be performed

 

18

 

entirely
within such state, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except
to the extent that the perfection and the effect of perfection or
non-perfection of the security interest created hereby hereunder, in respect of
any particular Collateral, are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other
than the State of Texas.

Agreement include the prospective liabilities of the nature specified below up
to the maximum amount specified below, for each such Debtor:

Licence (each as defined in the Facilities Agreement) cannot be charged,
mortgaged or secured without the prior consent or approval of a Governmental
Agency or a Minister in right of the Crown (all as described in the Facilities
Agreement), each Debtor agrees to charge, mortgage, secure and absolutely
assign its interest in such property to the Secured Party as additional
property to be considered Collateral for the payment of the Secured Obligations

Crown is obtained.  Each Debtor must use
reasonable endeavors to obtain all such consents and approvals as soon as
possible.

 

Section 5.15.                             Capacity of Secured Party.

be indemnified out of the assets of the trust established under the Security
Trust Deed provided that this paragraph (e) does not apply to any obligation or
liability of the Secured Party to the extent that it is not satisfied under the
Facilities Agreement or by operation

 

20
