PLEDGED ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made as of this 29th day of February, 2016 among PlainsCapital Bank - Wealth Management and Trust, a Department of PlainsCapital Bank (the “Trust Department”), PlainsCapital Bank (the “Bank”), and Clean Energy, a California corporation (the “Client”).             

Whereas, the Bank, Client, and Clean Energy Fuels Corp., a Delaware corporation, have entered into an agreement whereby the Client has pledged certain of Client’s assets (“assets”) as collateral for amounts loaned by the Bank to the client pursuant to one or more security agreements (all of which are referred to herein as the “Security Agreement”); and

Whereas, the Security Agreement is comprised of that certain Loan and Security Agreement for Loan Number, dated February 29, 2016, and providing for the extension of a credit facility to Client in the amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000 dollars); and  

Whereas, some or all of the assets pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement are comprised of securities; and

Whereas, the Client wishes to hold such assets in an account established with Trust Department and thereafter to direct the investment and reinvestment of the assets subject to the requirements of this Agreement; and

Whereas, the Bank is willing to permit the Client’s investment and reinvestment of the assets through such an account maintained by the Client with the Trust Department subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.Denomination of the Account. All of the assets may be held in nominee name in an account with the Trust Department in the name of the Client, and designated as account number (the “Account”), bearing the tax identification number of the Client, and the proceeds, together with all income thereon, shall belong exclusively to the Client, subject to the security interest of the Bank created by the Security Agreement.  

2.Restriction of the Account. The Trust Department shall not permit any of the pledged assets (as listed in the Security Agreement between the Bank and the Client) to be paid out of the Account, to be delivered, or to be transferred therefrom, or to be otherwise encumbered or hypothecated, except on the written instructions of an authorized officer of the Bank as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Department is expressly authorized, without prior written consent of the Bank: (i) to distribute, to the Client, as requested in writing, all interest, cash dividends and other income received on assets held in the Account, (ii) to allow withdrawals from the Account for the payment of any commissions, markups, service charges or any other fees or charges assessed 

by the Trust Department, (iii) to allow funds to be paid or assets to be delivered or transferred from the Account as may be required by any  rule, regulation, or statute, including, but not limited to, Federal Reserve Bank Regulations; or (iv) to transfer or deliver assets as authorized by paragraph 3, herein. No restrictions shall be applied to any assets of the Account which are not pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement (it being understood that assets are described by type (i.e., bonds) in the Security Agreement), and the Client will continue to retain all authority with respect to such non-pledged assets granted to it according to the agreement establishing the Account executed by the Client and the Trust Department. 

3.Trading Authority. The Bank and Client agree, consent, and understand that the Client has appointed the Trust Department as its agent.  In serving in this capacity, the Trust Department will be subject to the terms of the agreement establishing the Account. Subject to Section 5 hereof, if the Client maintains investment discretion over the assets in the Account, Client may provide the Trust Department instructions regarding investment purchases, sales, and exchanges. If the Client does not maintain investment discretion over the assets in the Account, then, subject to Section 5 hereof, the Trust Department shall have full trading authority to purchase, sell, exchange, or transfer assets and to effect substitution of any of the pledged assets held in the Account without the necessity of obtaining the prior written approval of the Bank. If the Bank has given written notice to Trust Department of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Agreement) pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Trust Department shall be entitled to complete any transactions which are pending settlement as of the date the Trust Department actually receives such notice from Bank. The Trust Department may employ and delegate investment decisions to a third party investment advisor, including an affiliate, to assist the Trust Department in providing investment services.  In addition to the foregoing, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Client may withdraw funds or assets from the Account, subject to the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Security Agreement) limitations and margin call requirements in the Security Agreement.

4.Market Fluctuations. The Bank understands and agrees that the nature of assets held in the Account is such that the aggregate market value of such assets may fluctuate as a result of market factors beyond the direct control of Client and the Trust Department. Due to such market risk, the aggregate market value of the Account may fall below the amount of Client’s outstanding indebtedness to the Bank. The Bank acknowledges and understands that the Trust Department does not represent, warrant or guarantee that the assets held in the Account will maintain any minimum aggregate market value. Bank and Client accept this market risk as a condition of the Trust Department’s accepting this Agreement and hold Trust Department harmless with respect to any loss in market value of the Account resulting from such market risk. 

5.Client’s Default.

a.Trading authorization. Following actual receipt of written notice to the Trust Department from the Bank of a Default or an Event of Default, the Trust Department shall not affect any trades or changes to investments with respect to the assets pledged without the express prior written consent of the Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Department may continue 

to allow withdrawals from the Account of any commissions, markups, service charges or any other fees or charges assessed by the Trust Department and allow funds to be paid or assets to be delivered or transferred from the Account as may be required by any applicable rule, regulation, or statute. 

b.Delivery of assets to Bank. Following actual receipt of written notice to the Trust Department from the Bank of a Default or Event of Default or contemporaneous therewith, the Bank may deliver to the Trust Department written demand that the pledged assets held in the Account, or any part of the pledged assets held in the Account, which shall be identified with particularity in the demand, be delivered into its possession or into the possession of any correspondent bank identified in Bank’s written demand to the Trust Department. Upon actual receipt of such demand, the Trust Department shall, within a reasonable period of time, deliver to the Bank or to its correspondent bank, the requested portion of the assets and funds then held in the Account as collateral. Upon actual receipt of any such demand, the Trust Department shall have no duty to make independent inquiry into the Bank’s right to make such demand under the Security Agreement, shall be obligated to perform only the duties specifically set forth herein, and need not take notice of any provisions of the Security Agreement. In the case of conflicting demands upon the Trust Department by the Bank and the Client, Bank and Client agree and understand that the Trust Department shall be entitled to rely on the Bank’s representation that it is entitled to delivery of pledged assets then held in the Account as collateral, and the Trust Department shall not be or become liable in any way for its refusal to comply with a conflicting or adverse directive of the Client. This provision shall in no way diminish or affect any legal rights which the Client may have or be entitled to pursue against the Bank. The Trust Department shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever of any kind or character to determine whether or not a Default or an Event of Default exists, and Bank and Client agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Department, its affiliates, directors, officers, agents,  and employees from and against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and or damages, and all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, that may result by reason of the Trust Department’s complying with the Bank’s written instructions.

c.Liquidation of Assets by the Trust Department. If the Bank, pursuant to 5(b) above, directs the Trust Department to effect the liquidation of all or part of the pledged assets held in the Account as collateral, the Trust Department will proceed to liquidate the assets, or any portion thereof, as directed in writing by the Bank, on a best efforts basis. Bank acknowledges and agrees there is no assurance that a liquid market exists for all of the assets in the Account, and that amounts realized from the sale of non-liquid assets may differ significantly from the reported market value of the security. Client and Bank agree to hold Trust Department harmless with respect to any loss relating to the sale of non-liquid assets.

6.Written Instructions of Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the Trust Department shall at all times have full right and authority to pay over, disburse or transfer the assets held in the Account in accordance with the joint written instructions signed by the Client and by an authorized officer of the Bank. On any occasion when the Client is entitled to withdraw assets according to the terms of the Security Agreement and timely notifies the Bank of the Client’s intention to do so as provided by the Security Agreement, the Bank shall promptly, at the Client’s 

request, prepare, execute and provide to the Client for the Client’s signature, written authorization addressed to the Trust Department identifying the amount of funds or assets, or the specific assets, which the Trust Department is authorized to disburse.

If at the close of business on such Call Date, Debtor has failed to comply with this clause (i), Lender may, without notice to Debtor or any other action, immediately liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral and apply the same to satisfy the Indebtedness, in Lender’s sole discretion.

(ii)No Default or Event of Default.  No Default or Event of Default, or event which could have a Material Adverse Effect, shall have occurred and be continuing, or would result from or after giving effect to such Loan.
(iii)Representations and Warranties.  All of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in material respects on and as of the date of such Loan with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date.
6.    Representations and Warranties.  Debtor hereby represents and warrants, and upon each request for a Loan represents and warrants to Lender as follows:
(a)    Existence.  Debtor (i) is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (ii) has all requisite power and authority to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted; and (iii) is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary and where failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.  Debtor has the power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is or may become a party.  
(b)    Binding Obligations.  The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents by Debtor have been duly authorized by all necessary action by Debtor, and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Debtor, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights and except to the extent specific remedies may generally be limited by equitable principles.
(c)    No Consent.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not (i) conflict with, result in a violation of, or constitute a default under (1) any provision of the Constituent Documents (if any) or other instrument binding upon Debtor, (2) any law, governmental regulation, court decree or order applicable to Debtor, or (3) any contractual obligation, agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon Debtor, (ii) require the consent, approval or authorization of any third party, or (iii) result in or require the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or asset of Debtor except as may be expressly contemplated in the Loan Documents.  
(d)    Financial Condition.  Each financial statement of Debtor supplied to Lender truly discloses and fairly presents such Person’s financial condition as of the date of each such statement.  There has been no material adverse change in such financial condition or results of operations of Debtor subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statement supplied to Lender.
(e)    Operation of Business.  Debtor possesses all contracts, licenses, permits, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks, and tradenames, or rights thereto, necessary to conduct its businesses substantially as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, and Debtor is not in violation of any valid rights of others with respect to any of the foregoing, except any violations that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f)    Litigation and Judgments.  There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding before or by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator pending, or to the knowledge of Debtor, threatened against or affecting Debtor that would, if adversely determined, have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no outstanding judgments against Debtor.
(g)    Rights in Collateral; Liens.  Debtor has good and indefeasible title to the Collateral, and none of the Collateral is subject to any lien, except Permitted Encumbrances.

Exhibit 10.113

(h)    Disclosure.  No statement, information, report, representation, or warranty made by Debtor in the Loan Documents or furnished to Lender in connection with the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading.  There is no fact known to Debtor which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed in writing to Lender.
(i)    Taxes; Governmental Charges.  Debtor has filed all federal, state and local tax reports and returns required by any law or regulation to be filed by it and has either duly paid all taxes, duties and charges indicated due on the basis of such returns and reports, or made adequate provision for the payment thereof, and the assessment of any material amount of additional taxes in excess of those paid and reported is not reasonably expected.
(j)    Security Interest.  Debtor has and will have at all times full right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Lender in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance other than for the Permitted Encumbrances.  This Agreement creates a legal, valid and binding security interest (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) in favor of Lender in the Collateral securing the Indebtedness.
(k)    Collateral Account.  The Collateral Account is a valid and legally binding obligation of the Securities Intermediary, the securities entitlements credited to the Collateral Account are valid and genuine, and Debtor has provided Lender with a complete and accurate statement of the financial assets and the money credited to the Collateral Account as of the date of this Agreement.  All Eligible Collateral is genuine and free from any restriction on transfer.
7.    Covenants.  Until all Indebtedness of Debtor under the Loan Documents is indefeasibly paid or performed, and Lender has no further commitment to lend under the Credit Facility, Debtor agrees and covenants as follows:
(a)    Payment of Obligations.  Debtor will pay its obligations, including tax liabilities, that, if not paid, could become a lien on any of Collateral, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where: (i) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (ii) Debtor has set aside adequate reserves with respect thereto.
(b)    Books and Records; Inspection Rights.  Debtor will keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities.  Debtor will permit any representatives designated by Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested.
(c)    Compliance with Laws.  Debtor will comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(d)    Notices of Material Events.  Debtor will furnish to Lender prompt written notice of the following:
(i)the occurrence of any Default;
(ii)the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority against or affecting Debtor, that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or
(iii)any and all material adverse changes in Debtor’s financial condition and all claims made against Debtor that could materially affect the financial condition of Debtor.

Exhibit 10.113

Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of Debtor setting forth the details of the event or development requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto.
(e)    Ownership and Liens.  Debtor will maintain good and indefeasible title to the Collateral free and clear of all liens, security interests, encumbrances or adverse claims, except for Permitted Encumbrances.  Debtor will cause any financing statement or other security instrument with respect to the Collateral to be terminated, except for Permitted Encumbrances.  Debtor will defend at its expense Lender’s right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any third party.
(f)    Impairment of Security Interest.  Debtor will not take any action that would in any manner impair the enforceability of Lender’s security interest in any Collateral.
(g)    Transfer or Encumbrance.  Debtor will not (i) grant a lien or security interest in or execute, file or record any financing statement or other security instrument with respect to the Collateral, or (ii) deliver actual or constructive possession of any of the Collateral to any Person other than Lender.
(h)    Collateral Account.  
(i)Debtor shall not be permitted to terminate or close the Collateral Account, change the Securities Intermediary, or conduct any day-trading activities from the Collateral Account.  Debtor shall be permitted to conduct activities permitted by the applicable Control Agreement.
(ii)Debtor will warrant and defend its title in and to the Collateral against any adverse claimant.  
(iii)Any indication on the books or internal records of a Securities Intermediary (including any Securities Intermediary which is an affiliate of Lender) that Eligible Collateral or a Collateral Account has been pledged to Lender will conclusively establish Lender’s perfected security interest in and control over the Collateral. 
(iv)Debtor will not attempt to modify or terminate any Control Agreement or the agreement between Debtor and the Securities Intermediary governing any Collateral Account without Lender’s written consent.  Debtor will cause Securities Intermediary to send to Lender a complete and accurate copy of every statement, confirmation, notice or other communication concerning the Collateral Account that the Securities Intermediary sends to Debtor.  Any confirmation or statement of account that Lender may (but need not) issue will conclusively establish delivery of Eligible Collateral to Lender.  
(v)Debtor will comply with the securities laws with respect to Debtor’s ownership of Collateral.  Debtor will not commit any act which might render any Collateral not readily saleable under such securities laws. Debtor will notify Lender immediately of any development or occurrence which to Debtor’s knowledge would render any Collateral not readily saleable under the securities laws.
(vi)Unless an Event of Default occurs, Debtor may exercise all voting and consensual powers and rights pertaining to any Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and may receive and retain all proceeds of the Collateral.  
8.    Reporting Requirements.  Until all Indebtedness of Debtor under the Loan Documents is indefeasibly paid and satisfied, and Lender has no further commitment to lend under the Credit Facility, Debtor agrees and covenants that it will furnish or cause to be furnished the following:
(a)    Brokerage Statements.  As soon as available and in any event within THIRTY (30) days after the end of each month, Debtor shall or shall cause Securities Intermediary to provide Lender with copies of the all account, valuation, and brokerage statements for the Collateral Account.
(b)    General Information.  Such other information concerning Debtor as Lender may reasonably request.

Exhibit 10.113

9.    Rights of Lender.  Lender shall have the rights contained in this Section at all times that this Agreement is effective.
(a)    Financing Statements.  Debtor hereby authorizes Lender to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral.  
(b)    Power of Attorney.  Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Debtor’s attorney‐in‐fact, such power of attorney being coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or otherwise, from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in Lender’s reasonable discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement or otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender with respect to the Collateral.
10.    Events of Default.  Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement:
(a)    Payment Default.  The failure, refusal or neglect of Debtor to pay when due any part of the principal of, or interest on the Indebtedness owing to Lender by Debtor from time to time and such failure, refusal or neglect shall continue unremedied for a period of TEN (10) days from the date such payment is due.
(b)    Performance or Warranty Default.  The failure of Debtor to timely and properly observe, keep or perform any covenant, agreement, warranty or condition required herein or in any of the other Loan Documents (other than a payment default as set forth in Section 10(a)) which is not cured within FIVE (5) Business Days following written notice from Lender to Debtor; provided, that (i) if such default cannot be cured within FIVE (5) Business Days, (ii) Debtor has, within such period, taken such actions as deemed reasonably necessary and appropriate by Lender to cure such default, and (iii) Debtor shall continue to diligently pursue such actions, such cure period shall be extended for a period of THIRTY (30) days.
(c)    Representations.  Any representation contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents made by Debtor is false or misleading in any material respect.
(d)    Insolvency.  If Debtor (i) becomes insolvent, or makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) generally is not paying its debts as such debts become due; (iii) has a receiver, trustee or custodian appointed for, or take possession of, all or substantially all of its assets, either in a proceeding brought by it or in a proceeding brought against it and such appointment is not discharged or such possession is not terminated within SIXTY (60) days after the effective date thereof or it consents to or acquiesces in such appointment or possession; (iv) files a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other present or future federal or state insolvency, Bankruptcy or similar laws (all of the foregoing hereinafter collectively called “Applicable Bankruptcy Law”) or an involuntary petition for relief is filed against it under any Applicable Bankruptcy Law and such involuntary petition is not dismissed within SIXTY (60) days after the filing thereof, or an order for relief naming it is entered under any Applicable Bankruptcy Law, or any composition, rearrangement, extension, reorganization or other relief of debtors now or hereafter existing is requested or consented to by it; or (v) fails to have discharged within a period of SIXTY (60) days any attachment, sequestration or similar writ levied upon any property of it.
(e)    Action Against Collateral.  The Collateral or any portion thereof is taken on execution or other process of law in any action.
(f)    Transfer of the Property.  Title to all or any part of the Collateral Account shall become vested in any party other than the Debtor holding title thereto on the Effective Date, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or Debtor shall sell, transfer or dispose of assets in the Collateral Account in an amount sufficient to cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency.
(g)    Loan Documents.  (i) The Loan Documents shall at any time after their execution and delivery and for any reason cease (1) to create a valid and perfected first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) in and to the Collateral; or (2) to be in full force and effect or shall be declared null 

Exhibit 10.113

and void, or (ii) the validity or enforceability the Loan Documents shall be contested by Debtor or any other Person party thereto or Debtor or such Person shall deny it has any further liability or obligation under the Loan Documents.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the events of default enumerated in any of the other Loan Documents and all such events of default shall be cumulative.
11.    Remedies and Related Rights.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred, and without limiting any other rights and remedies provided herein, under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise available to Lender, Lender may exercise one or more of the rights and remedies provided in this Section. 
(a)    Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default, (i) the entire unpaid balance of principal of the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other Indebtedness owing to Lender by Debtor at such time shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Debtor, and (ii) Lender may, at its option, cease further advances under the Note and this Agreement; provided, however, concurrently and automatically with the occurrence of an Event of Default under Subsection 10(d) further advances under the Loan Documents shall automatically cease, the Indebtedness at such time shall, without any action by Lender, become due and payable, without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Debtor.  All rights and remedies of Lender set forth in this Agreement and in any of the other Loan Documents may also be exercised by Lender, at its option to be exercised in its sole discretion, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and not in substitution or diminution of any rights now or hereafter held by Lender under the terms of any other agreement.
(b)    Other Remedies.  Lender may from time to time at its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents:
(i)Sell, or instruct Securities Intermediary or any agent or broker to sell, all or any part of the Collateral in a public or private sale, direct any agent, Securities Intermediary or broker to liquidate all or any part of the Collateral Account and deliver all proceeds thereof to Secured Party, and apply all proceeds to the payment of any or all of the Indebtedness in such order and manner as Secured Party shall, in its discretion, choose or hold such proceeds as additional Collateral for the Indebtedness.
(ii)Exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral);
(iii)Require Debtor to, and Debtor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Lender, assemble the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(iv)Reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest granted hereunder by any available judicial procedure;
(v)Sell or otherwise dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Debtor or elsewhere, the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Lender’s power of sale, but sales or other dispositions may be made from time to time until all of the Collateral has been sold or disposed of or until the Indebtedness has been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale or other disposition it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;
(vi)Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any public sale;
(vii)Buy the Collateral, or any portion 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;

Exhibit 10.113

(viii)Apply for the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, and Debtor hereby consents to any such appointment; and
(ix) At its option, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Indebtedness whenever the circumstances are such that Lender is entitled to do so under the Code or otherwise.
Debtor agrees that in the event Debtor is entitled to receive any notice under the Code, as it exists in the state governing any such notice, of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, reasonable notice shall be deemed given when such notice is deposited in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, at Debtor’s address set forth on the signature page hereof, TEN (10) days prior to the date of any public sale, or after which a private sale, of any of such Collateral is to be held.  Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Lender 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.  If permitted by applicable law, any Collateral which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Lender without prior notice to Debtor.  At any sale or disposition of Collateral, Lender may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) (i) purchase all or any part thereof free from any right of redemption by Debtor or any other Person guaranteeing the Indebtedness, which right is hereby waived and released, (ii) restrict the number of prospective bidders or purchasers and/or further restrict such prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of the Collateral, and (iii) otherwise require that such sale be conducted subject to restrictions as to such other matters as Lender may deem necessary in order that such sale may be effected in such manner as to comply with all applicable state and federal securities and other laws.  Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall have been given.  Debtor hereby acknowledges that (i) notwithstanding that a higher price might be obtained for the Collateral at a public sale than at a private sale or sales, the making of a public sale of the Collateral may be subject to registration requirements under applicable securities laws and other legal restrictions, compliance with which would require such actions on the part of such Credit Party, would entail such expenses and would subject Lender or any underwriter through whom the Collateral may be sold or any controlling person of any of the foregoing to such liabilities, as would make a public sale of the Collateral impractical, and accordingly, Debtor hereby agrees that private sales made by Debtor in good faith in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Collateral were sold at a public sale, and that Lender shall not have any obligation to take any steps in order to permit the Collateral to be sold at a public sale, such a private sale being considered or deemed to be a sale in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) any private sale of the Collateral may be subject to compliance with federal and state securities and/or other laws; and (iii) Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale that may be necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser(s) by any Governmental Authority or officer or court.
(c)    Application of Proceeds.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender may at its discretion apply or use any cash held by Lender as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral as follows in such order and manner as Lender may elect:
(i)to the repayment or reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (1) the administration of the Loan Documents, (2) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, the Collateral, and (3) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder;
(ii)to the payment or other satisfaction of any liens and other encumbrances upon the Collateral;
(iii)to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness;
(iv)by holding such cash and proceeds as Collateral;

Exhibit 10.113

(v)to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law; and
(vi)by delivery to Debtor or any other party lawfully entitled to receive such cash or proceeds whether by direction of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
(d)    Deficiency.  In the event that the proceeds of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by Lender are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, Debtor (unless otherwise provided) shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents.
(e)    Non‐Judicial Remedies.  In granting to Lender the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Lender to enforce its rights by judicial process.  Debtor recognizes and concedes that non‐judicial 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 to prevent Lender or Debtor from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option.  
(f)    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
(g)    Equitable Relief.  Debtor recognizes that in the event Debtor fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Indebtedness, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender.  Debtor therefore agrees that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
12.    Indemnity.  Debtor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Lender, and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature (collectively, the “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Person arising in connection with the Loan Documents, the Indebtedness or the Collateral (including without limitation, the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the defense of any Indemnified Person’s actions and/or inactions in connection with the Loan Documents).  WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AND/OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON, EXCEPT TO THE LIMITED EXTENT THE CLAIMS AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON ARE PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.  If Debtor or any third party ever alleges such gross negligence or willful misconduct by any Indemnified Person, the indemnification provided for in this Section shall nonetheless be paid upon demand, subject to later adjustment or reimbursement, until such time as (a) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment as to the extent and effect of the alleged gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) Lender expressly agrees in writing with Debtor that such Claim is proximately caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The indemnification provided for in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall extend and continue to benefit each individual or entity that is or has at any time been an Indemnified Person hereunder.
13.    Limitation of Liability and Releases.  Neither Lender nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Debtor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Debtor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  Debtor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Lender or any of Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement 

Exhibit 10.113

or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  
14.    No Duty.  All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Debtor or any of Debtor’s equity holders or any other Person.  Documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder have been prepared by GARDERE WYNNE SEWELL LLP (“Lender’s Counsel”).  Debtor acknowledges and understands that Lender’s Counsel is acting solely as counsel to Lender in connection with the transaction contemplated herein, is not representing Debtor in connection therewith, and has not, in any manner, undertaken to assist or render legal advice to Debtor with respect to this transaction.  Debtor has been advised to seek other legal counsel to represent its interests in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.  
15.    Lender Not Fiduciary.  The relationship between Debtor and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Debtor, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Debtor and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
16.    Waiver and Agreement.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege herein or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  No waiver of any provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no departure by Debtor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing.  No modification or amendment to this Agreement or to any of the other Loan Documents shall be valid or effective unless the same is signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.
17.    Benefits.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and Debtor, and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that Debtor may not, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any rights, powers, duties or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
18.    Notices.  All notices, requests, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and given by (a) personal delivery, (b) expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or (c) United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth on the signature page hereof and shall be deemed to have been received either, in the case of personal delivery, as of the time of personal delivery, in the case of expedited delivery service, as of the time of the expedited delivery and in the manner provided herein, or in the case of mail, upon the THIRD (3rd) day after deposit in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service.  Any party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by notice to the other party of such new address. 
19.    Construction; Venue; Service of Process.  The Loan Documents have been executed and delivered in the State of Texas, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, and shall be performable by the parties hereto in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas (the “Venue Site”).  Any action or proceeding against Debtor under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court within the Venue Site.  Debtor hereby irrevocably (a) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and (b) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court or that any such court is an inconvenient forum.  Debtor agrees that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions this Agreement.  Nothing in any of the other Loan Documents shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lender to bring any action or proceeding against Debtor or with respect to any of its property in courts in other jurisdictions.  Any action or proceeding by Debtor against Lender shall be brought only in a court located in the Venue Site.
20.    Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of the Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions of the 

Exhibit 10.113

Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance.
21.    Expenses.  Debtor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with (a) the drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated therein, (b) any action required in the course of administration of the indebtedness and obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents, and (c) any action in the enforcement of Lender’s rights upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
22.    Participation of the Loans.  Debtor agrees that Lender may, at its option, sell interests in the Loans and its rights under this Agreement to a financial institution or institutions and, in connection with each such sale, Lender may disclose any financial and other information available to Lender concerning Debtor to each perspective purchaser subject to obtaining a confidentiality agreement with each prospective purchaser prior to disclosing Debtor’s confidential information.  
23.    Conflicts.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Note, in the event any term or provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with or conflicts with any provision of the other Loan Documents, the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement shall be controlling.
