REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES
AND COVENANTS
Section
3.1 Representations and
Warranties. The Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the
Secured Party as follows:
(a) Ownership and
Liens. The Debtor has good and marketable title to the
Collateral, free and clear of all liens, security interests, encumbrances and
adverse claims, except for the security interest created by this
Agreement. To the best of Debtor’s knowledge, there are no
undisclosed disputes, rights of set-off, counterclaims or defenses existing with
respect to all or any material part of the Collateral. Except as
previously disclosed there is no chattel mortgage, collateral chattel mortgage,
statement of assignment, notice of assignment, notice of security interest or
effective financing statement, or other instrument similar in effect, covering
all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office to the best
of Debtor’s knowledge, except such as may have been or be filed in favor of the
Secured Party relating to this Agreement, and there are no effective pledges or
assignments affecting all or any part of the Collateral, except in favor of the
Secured Party.
(b) No Conflicts or
Consents. Neither the ownership nor the intended use of the
Collateral by the Debtor, nor the grant of the security interest by the Debtor
to the Secured Party herein, nor the exercise by the Secured Party of its rights
and remedies hereunder, will (i) conflict with any provision of (A) any domestic
or foreign law, statute, rule or regulation, (B) the articles of organization,
operating agreement or other organizational documents of the Debtor or (C) any
agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon the
Debtor or (ii) result in or require the creation of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any assets or properties of the Debtor, except the lien created
by this Agreement. No consent, approval, authorization or order of,
and no notice to or filing with, any court, governmental authority or third
party (except for the filing of the applicable financing statements) is required
in connection with the grant by the Debtor of the security interest herein or
the exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies
hereunder.
(c) Security
Interest. The Debtor has, and will have at all times, full
right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to the
Secured Party in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any lien,
security interest or other charge or encumbrance, except Permitted
Liens. This Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest
in favor of the Secured Party in the Collateral securing the
Obligations. The taking possession and retention by the Secured Party
of all instruments and cash constituting Collateral and the filing of the
financing statements delivered concurrently herewith by the Debtor to the
Secured Party will perfect and establish the priority of the Secured Party’s
security interest hereunder in the Collateral securing the
Obligations. 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,
except for continuation statements and filings contemplated by Section

legally binding indebtedness of a bona fide account debtor arising from the sale
or lease by a Provider of goods or the rendition by a Provider of services and
to the Debtor’s knowledge is not subject to contra-accounts, set-offs, defenses
or counterclaims by or available to the account debtor obligated on such
Receivable, except for claims arising from defective goods or as otherwise
disclosed to the Secured Party in writing. To the best of the
Debtor’s knowledge, goods that have been delivered and services that have been
rendered by a Provider to each account debtor have been accepted by such account
debtor, and the amount shown as to each Receivable on the Debtor’s books is the
true and undisputed amount owing and unpaid thereon, subject only to discounts,
allowances, rebates, credits and adjustments to which the account debtor has a
right and that have been disclosed to the Secured Party in writing.

remedies of a secured party on default under the Code (whether or not the Code
applies to the affected Collateral);
(b) Collection
Rights. The Secured Party shall have the right at any time,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to notify
any or all account debtor under any accounts, general intangibles or chattel
paper included in the Collateral and any or all obligors under any instruments
included in the Collateral of the security interest thereon in favor of the
Secured Party and to direct such account debtor and obligors to make payment of
all amounts due or to become due to the Debtor thereunder directly to the
Secured Party and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Debtor and
to the extent permitted by law, to enforce collection of any such accounts,
general intangibles, chattel paper and instruments and to adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment thereof, in each case, in the same manner and
to the same extent as the Debtor may have done. After the Debtor
receives notice that the Secured Party has given any notice referred to above in
this subsection, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and
writings) received by the Debtor in respect of such accounts, general
intangibles, chattel paper and instruments shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of
the Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Secured Party in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash
collateral and applied as specified in Section 5.4 and (ii) the Debtor will not
adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such account, general
intangible, chattel paper or instrument or release wholly or partly any account
debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon.
(c) Assemble
Collateral. To the extent permitted by the laws, whether
presently existing or hereafter adopted, of the jurisdiction in which the
Collateral or any part thereof is located, including, without limitation, the
State Louisiana, the Secured Party may require the Debtor to, and the Debtor
hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Secured Party,
forthwith assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured
Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by
the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both
parties;
11
(d) Judicial
Procedure. The Secured Party may reduce its claim to judgment
or execute, foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security
interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure;
(e) Sale of
Collateral. The Secured Party may dispose of, at its office,
on the premises of the Debtor or elsewhere, all or any part of 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 of any part of the Collateral
shall not exhaust the Secured Party’s power of sale, but sales may be made from
time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or
until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any such
sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;
(f)
Purchase of
Collateral. The Secured Party may buy the Collateral, or any
part thereof, at any public sale, and the Secured Party may 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 that is the subject of
widely distributed standard price quotations;
(g) Receiver. The
Secured Party may apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a
receiver or keeper for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the Debtor
hereby consents to any such appointment;
(h) Retention of
Collateral. At its discretion, the Secured Party may retain
the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations whenever the circumstances are
such that the Secured Party is entitled to do so under the Code or otherwise;
and
(i) Self-Help
Remedies. To the extent the Code permits a secured party to
exercise self-help remedies, including, without limitation, self-help
repossession, the Secured Party shall be entitled to exercise any and all such
remedies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
The
Debtor hereby agrees that at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Debtor 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. The Secured Party
shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of
sale having been given. The 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
5.3 Executory
Process. Solely for purposes of executory process (and for no
other purpose whatsoever) under applicable Louisiana law, the Debtor hereby
acknowledges the Obligations, CONFESSES JUDGMENT thereon and consents that
judgment be rendered and signed, whether during the court’s term or during
vacation, in favor of the Secured Party for the full amount of the Obligations,
including, but not limited to, the Notes and any other Obligations, in
principal, interest and attorneys’ fees, together with all charges and expenses
whatsoever pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan
Document. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and in addition
to all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and applicable law, the Secured Party may, at its option, cause all or
any part of the Collateral to be seized and sold under executory process, or
under writ of fieri
facias issued in execution of an ordinary judgment obtained upon the
Obligations, without appraisement to the highest bidder, for cash or under such
terms as the Secured Party deems acceptable. The Debtor hereby waives
all and every appraisement of the Collateral and waives and renounces the
benefit of appraisement and the benefit of all laws relative to the appraisement
of the Collateral seized and sold under executory or other legal
process. The Debtor agrees to waive and does hereby specifically
waive:
12
(a) the
benefit of appraisement provided for in Articles 2332, 2336, 2723, and 2724,
Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, and all other laws conferring such
benefits;
(b) the
demand and three (3) days delay accorded by Articles 2639 and 2721, Louisiana
Code of Civil Procedure;
(c) the
notice of seizure required by Articles 2293 and 2721, Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure;
(d) the
three (3) days delay provided by Articles 2331 and 2722, Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure;
(e) the
benefit of the other provisions of Articles 2331, 2722, and 2723, Louisiana Code
of Civil Procedure;
(f) the
benefit of the provisions of any other articles of the Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure not specifically mentioned above; and
(g) all
pleas of division and discussion with respect to the Obligations.
Pursuant
to the authority contained in Louisiana Revised Statutes 9:5136 through
9:5140.2, the Debtor and the Secured Party do hereby expressly designate the
Secured Party or its designee to be keeper or receiver (“Keeper”) for the
benefit of the Secured Party or any assignee of the Secured Party, such
designation to take effect immediately upon any seizure of any of the Collateral
under writ of executory process or under writ of sequestration or fieri facias as an incident
to an action brought by the Secured Party. The Debtor shall reimburse
the Secured Party for the Keeper’s reasonable fees, and the Keeper’s reasonable
fees shall be secured by the security interest in the Collateral granted in this
Agreement.
Section
5.4 Application of
Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Secured Party may in its discretion apply any cash held by the
Secured Party as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by the Secured Party
in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any
part of the Collateral, to payment of the Obligations or otherwise, in the
manner permitted by the Code.
Section
5.5 Deficiency. In
the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization of or upon
Collateral by the Secured Party are insufficient to pay all of the Obligations
and any other amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Debtor
shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at such rate
as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and
the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect
such deficiency.
13
Section
5.6 Indemnity and
Expenses. In addition to, and not in qualification of, any
similar obligations under any other Loan Documents:
(a) The
Debtor agrees to indemnify the Secured Party from and against any and all
claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs
incurred in enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claims,
losses or liabilities result from the Secured Party’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct and such indemnification excluding liability for punitive,
consequential or similar losses of the Secured Party; and
(b) The
Debtor will upon demand pay to the Secured Party the reasonable amount of any
and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
the Secured Party’s counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Secured
Party may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement,
(ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale or lease of,
collection from or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder or
(iv) the failure by the Debtor to perform or observe any of the provisions
hereof, except costs and expenses resulting from the Secured Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
Section
5.7 Nonjudicial
Remedies. In granting to the Secured Party the power to
enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing,
the Debtor, to the extent permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Collateral or any part thereof is located, including, without limitation, the
State of Louisiana, hereby expressly waives,
renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right that might otherwise
require the Secured Party to enforce its rights by judicial process and
authorizes the Secured Party to exercise lawful self-help remedies to obtain
possession of any or all of the Collateral. In so providing for
nonjudicial remedies, the Debtor recognizes and hereby agrees 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 to prevent the Secured Party or the Debtor from resorting to judicial
process at such party’s option.
Section
5.8 Other
Recourse. The Debtor hereby waives any right to require the
Secured Party to proceed against any other Person, exhaust any Collateral or
other security for the Obligations or have any Other Liable Party joined with
the Debtor in any suit arising out of the Obligations or this Agreement or
pursue any other remedy in the Secured Party’s power. The Debtor
hereby further waives 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 Obligations of any Other Liable Party from time to
time. The Debtor hereby further waives 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.
The Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Party, without notice or demand,
without any reservation of rights against the Debtor and without affecting the
Debtor’s liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time to (a)
take or hold any other property of any type from any other Person as security
for the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such
other property, (b) subject to the requirements of applicable law, apply the
Collateral or such other property and direct the order or manner of sale thereof
as the 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 Obligations or other
security for the Obligations, (d) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement
any of the provisions of any Loan Document with any Person other than the Debtor
and (e) release or substitute any Other Liable Party.

executed in connection herewith shall be made in the manner and to the addresses
for the Debtor and the Secured Party provided in the Loan
Agreement.
Section
6.2 Amendments. No
amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in
writing and signed by the Debtor and the Secured Party, and no waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Debtor
therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the 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
6.3 Preservation of
Rights. No failure on the part of the Secured Party to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other
Loan 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 Obligations. The rights and remedies of the Secured Party
provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in
addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by
law. The rights of the Secured Party under any Loan Document against

15
Section
6.6 Other
Liable Party. Neither this Agreement nor the exercise by the
Secured Party of, or the failure of the 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 Obligations or any deficiency
thereon. 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 Loan Document to which the Debtor or any
Other Liable Party may be a party and notwithstanding the reorganization, death,
incapacity or bankruptcy of any Other Liable Party.

and its successors and permitted assigns and (b) shall inure, together with all
rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of the
Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party may pledge, assign
or otherwise transfer any or all of its rights under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted herein or
otherwise. None of the rights or duties of the Debtor hereunder may
be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the
Secured Party.

when so executed shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
