judgment, order or decree and will not conflict with, or constitute
a breach or default under, any indenture, loan agreement, contract
or other agreement or instrument to which the Debtor is a party or
by which the Debtor or any of its property is bound.
|
|
|
|

any of its obligations hereunder, except filing of a financing

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

an authenticated demand to RBC within such time period, Debtor
