Collateral. Any Collateral Document shall for any reason fail to create a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any Collateral (with an aggregate book value in excess of $10,000,000) purported to be covered thereby, which failure is not remedied within five (5) days after the earlier of # the date on which any Authorized Officer has actual knowledge thereof and # the receipt of written notice from any Agent or the Required Lenders.

Collateral. The repayment of the Indebtedness shall be secured by the following (the items and types of collateral described herein and/or in the Security Instruments being collectively referred to as the "Collateral") pursuant to: a first mortgage/deed of trust lien in and to the Mortgaged Property as more particularly described in one or more mortgages or deeds of trust dated as of the Closing Date (collectively, the "Mortgage"), which such Mortgage covers and encumbers not less than eighty percent (80%) of Borrowers' currently owned producing oil, gas and other leasehold and mineral interests, including without limitation, those situated in the State of North Dakota and Montana. Borrowers shall execute such financing statements, letters in lieu of production forms, assignments, notices and other documents and instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to perfect the security interests thus created. Borrowers hereby acknowledge that all of the Collateral is granted to the Bank as security for the repayment of all of the Indebtedness. If the Revolver Note is paid in full or satisfied, but any portion of the Indebtedness remains unsatisfied, the Bank may retain its security interest in all of the Collateral until the remaining Indebtedness is paid in full, even if the value of the Collateral far exceeds the amount of Indebtedness outstanding.

Collateral. As security for the payment of the Obligations and satisfaction by Borrowers of all covenants and undertakings contained in the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents, each Borrower reconfirms the first-priority continuing Lien and security interest in all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under all of the Collateral (except with respect to subsection # of the definition of Collateral to the extent that granting occurs pursuant to another security agreement or similar document), whether presently existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in order to secure prompt payment and performance by each Borrower of all its Obligations (other than subsection # of the definition of Collateral which granting shall be governed by such other applicable security document). Nothing herein contained is intended to in any manner impair or limit the validity, priority and extent of Agent’s existing security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral.

Collateral. The Holder shall have the right to request an updated description of the Company’s collateral and the value of the collateral securing this loan monthly upon seven (7) days’ Notice.

Collateral. The Servicer shall # deliver or cause to be delivered to the Borrower no later than two (2) Business Day preceding the related Funding Date, as the case may be, the current Schedule of Receivables and # with respect to any Receivable, retain the original Receivable File (provided that Electronic Contracts shall be maintained in the Electronic Vault). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer may release any underlying collateral from the security interest created by the related Receivable when the Servicer deposits into the Collection Account an amount equal to the related Release Price or the entire amount of Liquidation Proceeds and other Collections it has received or expects to receive with respect to such Receivable and such underlying collateral.

Collateral. Co-Borrower has good title to, rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Co-Borrower has no Collateral Accounts at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates except for the Collateral Accounts described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith and which Co-Borrower has taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein, pursuant to the terms of Section 6.8(b). The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.

Collateral. The loan provided hereunder and all other indebtedness now or hereafter owing by Borrower to Lender shall be secured by first liens on all present and future accounts, goods and general intangibles of Borrower located in the United States or arising out of its U.S. operations and as set forth in that certain Security Agreement by Borrower in favor of Lender (the “Security Agreement”) of even date herewith.

Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have received:

Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and, by accepting the benefits of Section 8.03 and the Collateral Documents, each other Secured Party, agrees to the appointment of the Collateral Agent.

Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Agent’s Lien upon any Collateral # upon the termination of the Commitments and Payment in Full of the Obligations; # constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with this Agreement and so long as Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with this Agreement (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); # as contemplated by [Section 4.6] and [Section 8.18]; # constituting property in which Borrowers owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or # constituting property leased to Borrowers under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above or in [Section 13.21], Agent will not release any of the Agent’s Liens without the prior written authorization of Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this [Section 12.10]; it being understood that such confirmation is not a condition to any Lien release otherwise permitted by this clause (a).
