                                 EXHIBIT 10.18

         If all or any part of the  amount of this  Secured  Promissory  Note be
declared due in accordance with the other  provisions  hereof,  is not paid when
due, the principal balance as the case may be, shall bear interest at the lesser
of (i) twelve  percent  (12%) per annum,  or (ii) the Maximum Rate allowed under
applicable  law  until  paid in full or until  the  Secured  Promissory  Note is
reinstated.  Notice of Default shall be given, in writing,  to Maker, after five
days after occurrence of default.  Maker shall have 10 days after written Notice
of Default,  within  which to cure the default  plus  interest at default  rate,
legal fees and costs incurred.

         Except as otherwise  provided herein, the undersigned and all sureties,
guarantors and endorsers of this Secured  Promissory  Note  severally  waive all
notices,  demands,  presentments for payment, notices of non-payment,  notice of
intention  to  accelerate  the  maturity,  notices of  acceleration,  notices of
dishonor,  protest and notice of protest,  diligence in  collecting  or bringing
suit  as to  this  Secured  Promissory  Note  and  as to  each,  every  and  all
installments  hereof and all obligations  hereunder and against any party hereto
and to the  application  of any  payment  on this  obligation,  or as an  offset
hereto, and agree to all extensions,  renewals, partial payments,  substitutions
or evidence of  indebtedness  and the taking,  release or substitution of all or
any part of the  security  or the  release of any party  liable  hereon  with or
without notice before or after maturity.

         It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the usury laws
applicable to this loan if any,  accordingly  it is agreed that  notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in this Secured  Promissory  Note or in any of the
documents securing payment hereof no such provision shall require the payment or
permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum  permitted by law. If
any excess of interest is provided for, contracted for, charged for or received,
then the provisions of this  paragraph  shall govern and control and neither the
Maker  hereof  nor any  other  party  liable  for the  payment  hereof  shall be
obligated to pay the amount of such excess  interest.  Any such excess  interest
which may have been collected shall be, at the Holder's  option,  either applied
as a credit  against  the then  unpaid  principal  amount  hereof or refunded to
Maker.  The  effective  rate of  interest  shall  be  automatically  subject  to
reduction to the maximum  lawful  contract  rate allowed under the usury laws as
now or hereafter construed.  It is further agreed that without limitation of the
foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged for,
or received under this Secured  Promissory  Note which are made for the purposes
of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate, shall be made,
to the  extent  permitted  by law,  by  amortizing,  prorating,  allocating  and
spreading in equal parts during the full stated term of this Note,  all interest
contracted for,  charged for or received from the Maker or otherwise by the Note
Holder.

         In the  event  this Note is  placed  in the  hands of an  attorney  for
collection  (whether or not suit is filed),  or in the event it is  collected by
suit or through  bankruptcy,  probate,  receivership or other legal  proceedings
(including  foreclosure),  the undersigned hereby agrees to pay to the Holder as
attorney's  fees a reasonable  amount in addition to the  principal and interest
then due hereon, and all other costs of collection.

         THIS MORTGAGE,  SECURITY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"),  dated
September __, 2013, is made by Three Forks, Inc., a Colorado Company ("Pledgor")
for the use and benefit of  individual  Secured  Note holders  ("Lenders"),  for
which Lenders have appointed hereby an Agent,  Joel Ripmaster to hold and manage
the collateral ("Agent").

         PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

         Pledgor and Lenders have entered  into Secured  Convertible  Promissory
Notes,  secured hereby,  in the amount shown on EXHIBIT A hereto which EXHIBIT A
may be updated from time to time to add additional  secured parties  ("Lenders")
(the Notes, as they may hereafter be amended or otherwise  modified from time to
time,  being the "Loans," "Loan  Agreements," or "Secured  Promissory  Notes" as
used  interchangeably  herein). It is a condition precedent to the making of the
Loans by Lenders to Pledgor that Pledgor shall have made the pledge contemplated
by this Agreement to the Agent designated hereinabove.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce
Lenders to make the Loan, Pledgor hereby agrees as follows:

         SECTION 1. PLEDGE.  Pledgor  hereby  pledges,  transfers and assigns to
Joel  Ripmaster as Agent for all Lenders pro rata and any assigns of Lenders and
grants to Agent for Lenders a security  interest in, the following (the "Pledged
Collateral"):

         The  proposed  assets of the Pledgor to be purchased by the proceeds of
         this Offering and equity assets,  being certain 75% of the right, title
         and working  interest in 1,955.41 gross  leasehold  acres  including 13
         producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores located in
         the States of Texas and  Louisiana  purchased by the proceeds  from the
         Secured  Promissory  Notes, as further  described in attached EXHIBIT B
         made a part hereof by this  reference,  and which shall be supplemented
         to EXHIBIT B; upon the acquisition of additional assets.

         SECTION 2. SECURITY FOR OBLIGATIONS. This Agreement secures the payment
of  all  obligations  present  or  future,  direct  or  indirect,   absolute  or
contingent,  matured or not, of Pledgor to Lenders under the Secured  Promissory
Notes  evidencing the loans made  thereunder (the "Secured  Promissory  Notes"),
whether  for  principal,   interest,   fees,  expenses  or  otherwise,  and  all
obligations  present or future,  direct or  indirect,  absolute  or  contingent,
matured or not, of Pledgor to Lenders under this Agreement or the Loan Agreement
and  Secured  Promissory  Notes  (all  such  obligations  of  Pledgor  being the
"Obligations").

         SECTION 3. DELIVERY OF PLEDGED COLLATERAL.

         (a) All certificates, titles, invoices, purchase orders, or instruments
representing or evidencing any Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to and held
by or on behalf of Lenders  pursuant  hereto and shall be in  suitable  form for
transfer by delivery,  or shall be accompanied  by duly executed  instruments of

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

transfer or  assignment  in blank,  all in form and  substance  satisfactory  to
Lenders and their Agent. In the event of a default in the payment of the Secured
Promissory  Notes  Lenders'  Agent  shall  have  the  right,  at any time in its
discretion and without  notice to Pledgor,  to transfer to or to register in the
name of Lenders or any nominees any or all of the instruments  representing  the
Pledged Collateral.

         (b) Pledgor shall, upon the request of Lenders' Agent, deliver or cause
to be  delivered  to  Lenders'  Agent any or all of the Pledged  Collateral  not
referred to in Section 3(a) if Lenders  determines in its sole  discretion  that
such delivery will enhance,  protect,  maintain, create or otherwise aid Lenders
in the perfection or maintenance of the security interests created hereby.

         SECTION 4. PERFECTING SECURITY INTEREST.

         (a) Pledgor shall cause a UCC-1 to be filed with the Secretary of State
of Colorado and the State Texas  evidencing  the pledge of  Pledgor's  assets as
described  Section 1 and Pledgor  shall  cause any other  filings to be made and
assist  Lenders in giving any notice as may be  required  to perfect or maintain

Collateral.

         (f) This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of

Pledgor will join Lenders at its request in executing all  financial  statements

         SECTION 10.  REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.  If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:

         (a) Lenders'  Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged  Collateral,
in  addition  to other  rights and  remedies  provided  for herein or  otherwise
available  to it, all the rights and  remedies of a secured  party upon  default
under  the  Uniform  Commercial  Code  (the  "Code")  in  effect in the State of
Colorado,  except as required by mandatory  provisions  of law and except to the
extent that the validity or perfection of the security  interest  hereunder,  or
remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Pledged Collateral are governed
by the laws of a  jurisdiction  other than the State of Colorado,  at that time,
and Lenders' Agent may also, without notice except as specified below,  exercise
any voting or other  consensual  rights with respect to the Pledged  Collateral,
sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any exchange,  broker's board or at any of Lenders'  Agent's
offices or elsewhere,  for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such
other terms as Lenders' Agent may deem commercially  reasonable.  Pledgor agrees
that,  to the extent  notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days
notice to  Pledgor  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.
Lenders'  Agent shall not be  obligated  to make any sale of Pledged  Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Lenders'  Agent may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by  announcement  at the time and place
fixed therefore,  and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time
and place to which it was so adjourned.

         (b) Any cash held by Lenders' Agent as Pledged  Collateral and all cash
proceeds  received by Lenders' Agent in respect of any sale of,  collection from
or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged  Collateral may, in the
discretion of Lenders'  Agent,  be held by Lenders' Agent as collateral for, and
then or at any time thereafter  applied (after payment of any amounts payable to
Lenders'  Agent  pursuant to Section  12) in whole or in part by Lenders'  Agent
against,  all or any part of the  Obligations  in such  order as  Lenders  shall
direct.  Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds and interest accrued thereon,
if any, held by Lenders'  Agent and  remaining  after payment in full of all the
Obligations  shall be paid over to  Pledgor  or to  whomsoever  may be  lawfully
entitled to receive such surplus,  provided  that  Lenders'  Agent shall have no
obligation  to invest or  otherwise  pay  interest on any amounts  held by it in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement.

         (c) All rights and remedies of Lenders or their Agent expressed  herein
are in addition to all other rights and remedies  possessed by Lenders' Agent or
Lenders in the Loan Agreement or Notes, all third party guaranties and any other
agreement or instrument relating to the Obligations.

         SECTION 11.  EXPENSES.  Pledgor will upon demand pay to Lenders'  Agent
the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel and of any experts and Agent,  which  Lenders' Agent may
incur in connection  with (i) the  administration  of this  Agreement,  (ii) the
custody  or  preservation  of,  or  the  sale  of,  collection  from,  or  other
realization  upon,  any  of  the  Pledged  Collateral,  (iii)  the  exercise  or
enforcement of any of the rights of Lenders' Agent hereunder of (iv) the failure

                                      -5-

Binding Letter of Intent

Dear Mr. Smith:

This letter of intent (“Letter of Intent”) sets forth a binding agreement among Findex.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation with its only class of common stock registered under Section 12g, and subject to the periodic and other reporting requirements of Section 13(a), of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“FIND”), and The Renewable Corporation, a Washington corporation (“TRC”), in connection with a series of transactions (the “Transactions”), howsoever ultimately structured, pursuant to which FIND shall have issued a number of shares of its common stock to the stockholders of TRC equal to approximately eighty percent (80%) of the pre-closing issued and outstanding shares of FIND on a fully-diluted basis (including the issuance of preferred stock), and in exchange for which it shall have acquired either one hundred (100%) of the assets of Ecosmart Surface and Coating Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of TRC (“TRC Sub”), or one hundred percent (100%) of the pre-closing issued and outstanding shares of TRC Sub.

The proposed terms of the Transactions are as follows:

1.           Definitive Agreements.  Consummation of the Acquisition will be subject to the negotiation and execution of mutually satisfactory definitive agreements (the “Definitive Agreements”), setting forth the specific terms and conditions of the Transactions proposed hereby, including a Directors Agreement to be paid from time-to-time limiting the financial burden on the Company. Executive Agreements will be determined prior to the closing of the transaction. Executive agreements will include at a minimum Joe Alvarez and Steve Malone as well at up to two other executives that will be chosen by the TRC group. The executive compensation may be deferred until the Company has received a reliable funding source and will not accumulate to the books of the Company as debt until such time. The execution of the Definitive Agreements by the parties is subject to approval by the FIND board of directors and the TRC board of directors. The parties will use their reasonable best efforts to negotiate in good faith the Definitive Agreements, which shall contain, among other terms and conditions, and in addition to those basic terms outlined above, the following provisions:

	
(a)  

	
Closing of the Transactions shall be subject to due diligence.

	
(b)  

	
Immediately after the closing of the Transactions, the FIND board of directors shall have five (5) seats, two of which shall be occupied by the FIND pre-closing directors, and the remaining three (3) of which shall be filled by nominees of TRC Sub.

	
(c)  

	
Any required and necessary third-party consents shall be obtained prior to execution of the Definitive Agreements, including, but not limited to, any consents required to be obtained from FIND’s, TRC’s and TRC Sub’s lenders, creditors, vendors and/or lessors.

	
(d)  

	
FIND will be required to increase its authorized common shares for additional shares that will be required for the closing of the Transactions and other future transactions.

	
(e)  

	
FIND shall apply to be DWAC if not already established.

The Definitive Agreements shall be in a form customary for transactions of this type and will include, in addition to those matters specifically set forth in this letter, customary representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants and agreements of FIND and TRC, customary conditions of closing and other customary matters.

2.           Conduct of Business.  Prior to the execution of the Definitive Agreement, each of FIND and TRC and its wholly owned subsidiaries including TRC Sub will conduct their respective operations in the ordinary course consistent with past.

3.           Public Announcements.  The parties agree that, (i) within no more than four (4) business days FIND will make public the contents of some or all of this Letter of Intent pursuant to the filing by it of a current report on Form 8-K, and (ii) that, within its discretion, FIND may issue, either concurrently with or subsequent to the filing of the aforementioned current report on Form 8-K, a press release relating to the same subject matter.

4.           Confidentiality.  Each party and its representatives, officers, managers, employees and/or advisors, including accountants and legal advisors, will provide the other parties and their representatives, officers, managers, employees and/or advisors, including accountants and legal advisors, with all information, books, records and property (collectively, “Transaction Information”) that such other parties may request and reasonably consider necessary or appropriate in connection with its due diligence inquiry.  Each party agrees to make available to the other party such officers, managers, employees, and/or advisors as reasonably requested by the other parties for meetings, visits, questions and discussions concerning each other and the Transactions.  Each of the parties shall reasonably maintain the confidentiality of the Transaction Information, unless all or part of the Transaction Information is required to be disclosed by applicable securities laws or to the extent that such disclosure is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

5.           Exclusivity.  In consideration for the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, until the termination of this Letter of Intent in accordance with its terms, FIND and its officers, directors, employees, shareholders and other representatives, and TRC and its officers, directors, employees, shareholders and other representatives will not, and will not permit any of their respective affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit, discuss, accept, approve, respond to or encourage (including by way of furnishing information) any inquiries or proposals relating to, or engage in any negotiations with any third party with respect to any transaction(s) similar to the Transactions or any transaction(s) involving the transfer of a significant or controlling interest in the assets or capital stock of FIND or TRC Sub, including, but not limited to, a merger, acquisition, strategic investment or similar transaction (“Acquisition Proposal”).  FIND and its officers or their respective affiliates will immediately notify TRC in writing of the receipt of any third party inquiry or proposal relating to an Acquisition Proposal and will provide TRC with copies of any such notice inquiry or proposal, and TRC and TRC Sub and their respective officers or their respective affiliates will immediately notify FIND in writing of the receipt of any third party inquiry or proposal relating to an Acquisition Proposal and will provide FIND with copies of any such notice inquiry or proposal.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5 will be construed as prohibiting the board of directors of FIND or TRC/TRC Sub from (a) making any disclosure to its respective stockholders required by applicable law; or (b) responding to any unsolicited proposal or inquiry to FIND or TRC / TRC Sub (other than an Acquisition Proposal) by a third party by advising such third party the existence of this Section 5.

6.           Termination.  This letter of intent may be terminated (a) by mutual written consent of the parties hereto at any time, or (b) by either party on or after November 28, 2013 if and to the extent that Definitive Agreements have not been executed by the parties as of such date.

7.           Expenses.  Each of the parties will be responsible for its own expenses in connection with the Transactions, including fees and expenses of legal, accounting and financial advisors; provided, however, that adequate pre-closing financing is made available to FIND by or otherwise via TRC as may be reasonably required for FIND to consummate the Transactions, and that any such financing be on such terms as would be deemed acceptable to the incoming members of the FIND board post-closing in an arms-length negotiation.

8.           Compliance with the Securities Laws.  TRC and TRC Sub acknowledges that its officers, directors, employees and other representatives may, in connection with their consideration of the Transactions, come into possession of material non-public information about FIND and FIND acknowledges that its officers, directors, employees and other representatives may, in connection with their consideration of the Transactions, come into possession of material non-public information about TRC and TRC Sub.  Accordingly, each of FIND, TRC and TRC Sub will use their respective best efforts to ensure that none of its officers, directors, employees and/or other representatives will trade (or cause or encourage any third party to trade) in any securities of FIND, TRC or TRC Sub while in possession of any such material, non-public information.

9.           Counterparts.  This Letter of Intent maybe executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Emailed .PDF copies of signatures shall be treated as originals for all purposes.

       10.           Binding Effect.  The above provision shall be deemed binding obligations of the parties, enforceable against them in accordance with their terms and the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

 

	 	 	 Very truly yours,
