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. 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. 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 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. 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 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. 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 Administrative Agent shall have received:

Excluded Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as and to the extent provided in this Section 2.3, the Collateral shall not include, and the Lien of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents shall not attach to, the following:

Collateral Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause to be established and maintained, at its principal office or such other location or locations as it may establish from time to time in its discretion, one or more accounts (collectively, “Collateral Accounts”) for the collection of cash Proceeds of the Collateral. Such Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to constitute Collateral for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as herein provided. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over all funds deposited in any Collateral Account, and such funds may be withdrawn therefrom only by the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply amounts held in the Collateral Accounts in payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner provided for in [Section 6.2].
