FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Sky Quarry Inc., a Delaware corporation, having a business address at 707 W. 700 S., Suite 101, Woods Cross, UT 84087 (the “Maker” or “Company”), hereby promises to pay to KF Business Ventures, LP, a California limited partnership, or order (“Payee”), having a business address of 1520 Tower Grove Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, or at such other place as Payee may from time to time designate to Maker in writing, the principal sum of ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND and NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,200,000.00) (the “Principal Sum”), in lawful money of the United States of America, together with interest at the Interest Rate (as defined below) compounding annually on said Principal Sum or so much thereof as shall be outstanding hereunder from time to time, to be computed from and after December 2, 2024. The Principal Sum of this note (“Note”) and all accrued interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, defined below.
The “Interest Rate” shall be equal to one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per month. Unless otherwise specified herein, interest shall be paid upon maturity. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be increased to thirty percent (30%) per annum retroactive to December 2, 2024, until such time as the Event of Default has been cured.
The “Maturity Date” shall be March 2, 2025, however, the Company may prepay the Note at anytime without penalty, except that such prepayment must be accompanied by a payment of interest from the date of this Note until the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.
This Note and the Principal Sum and any and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon shall be the obligation of Maker, and Payee shall be entitled to full recourse against Maker for performance and satisfaction of all obligations of Maker with respect hereto. In addition, the obligations of Maker in respect of this Note and the Principal Sum and any and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon shall be secured by the solar turbines described below.
The Principal Sum, plus accrued interest shall be repaid out of proceeds from funds raised by the Company in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof, provided the Company raises a minimum of $4 million (“Securities Offering”). Proceeds received from the Securities Offering shall be used to repay any and all amounts outstanding under this Note in full. In the event that the Note is paid in full prior to the Maturity Date, the entire amount of interest that would have been due and payable to Payee through the Maturity Date shall be paid to Payee.
Conversion Rights. At any time on or after the date hereof, Payee may convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and/or interest outstanding hereunder into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share. The conversion price shall be equal to $0.83 per share (“Conversion Price”). In connection with any conversion of this Note, Payee shall complete the conversion notice attached hereto as Schedule A (“Conversion Notice”) and deliver the fully completed and executed Conversion Notice to the Company. Upon the Company’s receipt of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall direct its transfer agent to issue such number of shares converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice to Payee within five (5) business days of its receipt of the Conversion Notice. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment in connection with any stock split effected by the Company. All shares of common stock issued upon conversion hereof shall bear the following restrictive legend:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the entire unpaid balance of the Principal Sum, together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other sums, if any, then due and payable by Maker to Payee hereunder, shall become due and payable, at Payee’s election and upon written notice to Maker of such election, if an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) shall occur and be continuing under this Note.
The following shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(ii)Maker’s failure to pay all amounts due hereunder on the Maturity Date without regard to the success of the Securities Offering;

diligence or delays in the collection or enforcement hereof, and waives and renounces all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, appraisal, exemption and homestead rights now provided or which may hereafter be provided by any federal or state statute, including, but not limited to, exemptions provided or allowed under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, both as to itself and as to all of its property, whether real or personal, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note and any and all extensions, renewals and modifications hereof.

The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
The provisions of this Note shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Note shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Note, and to this end, the provisions of this Note are declared to be severable. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder.
All notices required or permitted by this Note to be given to any party shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Federal Express or similar overnight service, prepaid recorded delivery, addressed as follows:

If to Payee: to the address referenced above,
and shall be deemed to have been duly given when so delivered personally or, if mailed or sent by overnight courier, upon delivery; provided, that a refusal by a party to accept delivery shall be deemed to constitute receipt.
The provisions of this Note shall bind Maker and Maker’s successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of Payee and its successors and assigns.
This Note may not be changed, amended, modified or discharged orally, but only by an instrument signed by Maker and Payee, and may be waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the party waiving compliance.

2.Incorporation of Certain Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements of the Debtor. In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Notes are hereby incorporated herein by reference as though set forth herein at length.
(a)Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to the Holder of the Obligations, the Company hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Holder for its benefit a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on all of the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located. The Company shall mark its books and records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect the Holder’s security interest and shall cause its financial statements to reflect such security interest. The Company shall promptly provide the Holder with written notice of all commercial tort claims, such notice to contain the case title together with the applicable court and a brief description of the claim(s). Upon delivery of each such notice, the Company shall be deemed to hereby grant to the Holder a security interest in and to and Lien on such commercial tort claims and all proceeds thereof.
(b)Perfection of Security Interest. The Company shall take all action that the Holder may reasonably request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of the Holder’s security interest in and Lien on the Collateral or to enable the Holder to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral. By its signature hereto, the Company hereby authorizes the Holder to file against the Company one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the UCC in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set forth herein). All charges, expenses and fees the Holder may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be added to the Obligations and be paid to the Holder for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of the Holder immediately upon demand.
(c)Disposition of Collateral. The Company will safeguard and protect all Collateral for the Holder’s general account and make no disposition thereof whether by sale, lease or otherwise.
4
(d)Preservation of Collateral. Following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 8 hereof, the Holder: (a) may at any time take such steps as the Holder deems reasonably necessary to protect the Holder’s interests in and to preserve the Collateral. The Company shall cooperate fully with all of the Holder’s efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as the Holder may direct. All of the Holder’s reasonable expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be added to the Obligations and paid to the Holder for its benefit immediately upon demand.
(i)With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to the Holder’s security interest and Lien: (A) the Company shall be the sole owner of and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a first priority security interest in each and every item of their Collateral to the Holder; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances whatsoever; (B) each document and agreement executed by the Company or delivered to the Holder in connection with this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects; (C) all signatures and endorsements of the Company that appear on such documents and agreements shall be genuine and the Company shall have full capacity to execute same; and (D) the Company’s equipment and inventory shall be located at its chief executive office or other company location and shall not be removed from such location without the prior written consent of the Holder except with respect to the rental of equipment and sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business and equipment to the extent permitted in Section 4(c) hereof.
(f)Defense of the Holder’s Interests. Until (i) payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and (ii) termination of this Agreement, the Holder’s interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. During such period the Company shall not without the Holder’s prior written consent, pledge, sell (except inventory in the ordinary course of business and equipment to the extent permitted in Section 4(c) hereof), assign, transfer, create or suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way except for Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the Collateral. The Company shall defend the Holder’s interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following demand by the Holder for payment of all Obligations, the Holder shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral in whatever physical form contained. If the Holder exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, the Company shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to the Holder at a place reasonably convenient to the Holder. In addition, with respect to all Collateral, the Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the UCC or other applicable law. The Company shall, and the Holder may, at their option, upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, inventory, documents or instruments in which the Holder holds a security interest and if they shall come into the Company’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by the Company in trust as the Holder’s trustee, and the Company will immediately deliver them to the Holder in their original form together with any Necessary Endorsement.
(g)Books and Records. The Company shall (i) keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions of or in relation to its business and affairs; (ii) set up on its books accruals with respect to all taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims; and (iii) on a reasonably current basis set up on its books, from its earnings, allowances against doubtful accounts, advances and investments and all other proper accruals (including by reason of enumeration, accruals for premiums, if any, due on required payments and accruals for depreciation, obsolescence, or amortization of properties), which should be set aside from such earnings in connection with its business.
5
(h)Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of the Company’s business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company may, however, contest or dispute any applicable laws in any reasonable manner, provided that any related Lien is inchoate or stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Holder to protect the Holder’s Lien on or security interest in the Collateral. The assets of the Company at all times shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with respect to the assets of the Company so that such insurance shall remain in full force and effect.
(i)Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay, when due, all taxes, assessments and other charges lawfully levied or assessed upon the Company or any of the Collateral including real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise, income, employment, social security benefits, withholding, and sales taxes. If any tax by any Governmental Authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between the Company and the Holder which the Holder may be required to withhold or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in the opinion of the Holder, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, the Holder may without notice to the Company pay the taxes, assessments or other charges and the Company hereby indemnifies and holds the Holder harmless in respect thereof. The Holder will not pay any taxes, assessments or charges to the extent that the Company has properly contested those taxes, assessments or charges. The amount of any payment by the Holder under this Section 4(i) shall be added to the Obligations and secured by the Collateral and shall be paid to the Holder immediately upon demand for the benefit of the Holder contributing the funds to pay such taxes, assessments or other charges.
(j)Payment of Leasehold Obligations. The Company shall at all times pay, when and as due, its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at the Holder’s request, will provide evidence of having done so.
(i)Nature of Accounts. Each of the accounts shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the account debtor therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of the Company, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by the Company as of the date each account is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the Company’s standard terms without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by the Company to the Holder.
(ii)Solvency of Account Debtors. Each account debtor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, as of the date each account is created, is and will be solvent and able to pay all accounts on which the account debtor is obligated in full when due or with respect to such account debtors of the Company who are not solvent the Company has set up on its books and in its financial records bad debt reserves adequate to cover such accounts or had determined that such account debtor has insurance coverage in effect and/or is entitled to governmental health benefits that will pay the amount of each such invoice less the account debtor’s required deductible or co-payment and, as applicable, less any other customary and/or prescribed reductions.
6

(v)Notification of Assignment of Accounts. At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Default, the Holder shall, unless prohibited or restricted by applicable law, and in any event, subject to applicable law, have the right to send notice of the assignment of and the Holder’s security interest in and Lien on, the accounts to any and all account debtors and/or any third party payors who have responsibility for the payment of all or any portion of the accounts. Thereafter, subject to the aforesaid prohibitions and restrictions, and subject to applicable law, the Holder shall have the sole right to collect the accounts and take possession of the Collateral, or both. The Holder’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone and telegraph, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of or sums due to any collection personnel used for collection, shall be added to the Obligations, secured by the Collateral and payable upon demand to the Holder.
(vi)No Liability. The Holder shall not under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the accounts or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default the Holder may, subject to applicable law, without notice or consent from the Company, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or upon any terms any of the accounts or any other securities, instruments or insurance applicable thereto and/or release any obligor thereof. The Holder is authorized and empowered to accept, following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, the return of the goods represented by any of the accounts, without notice to or consent by the Company, all without discharging or in any way affecting the Company’s liability hereunder.
(vii)Adjustments.

The Holder shall not, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of the Company’s obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to the Holder, and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by the Company of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise all rights with respect to such Collateral as if it were the sole and absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, to vote and/or to exchange, at its sole discretion, any or all of such Collateral in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other readjustment concerning or involving the Collateral or the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.

The Company hereby constitutes and appoints the Holder or the Holder’s designee as the Company’s attorney with the power to market and sell such equity interests and sign and deliver all documents necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Holder, in its sole discretion, to effect the marketing and sale of such equity interests if the Company fails to cooperate with the Holder and/or follow the Holder’s instructions or directions as aforesaid. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) or upon the Holder’s willful misconduct; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of inventory, the Holder is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free, nonexclusive license and the Holder is granted permission to use all of the Company’s (a) trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents, patent applications, copyrights, service marks, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights which are used or useful in connection with inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods.

(iv)To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Holder to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Holder (A) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Holder to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (B) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (C) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (D) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (E) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (F) to contact other Persons,

The Company acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8(a)(iv) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Holder would not be commercially unreasonable in the Holder’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Holder shall not be commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8(a)(iv). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8(a)(iv) shall be construed to grant any rights to the Company or to impose any duties on the Holder that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8(a)(iv).
(b)The Holder’s Discretion. The Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies it may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of the Holder’s rights hereunder.
(c)Setoff. In addition to any other rights which the Holder may have under applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Holder shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply the Company’s property held by the Holder to reduce the Obligations.
(d)Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

SECOND, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Holder to the extent owing to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (other than as set forth in clause “FIRST” above);
THIRD, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest;
FOURTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations;
11
FIFTH, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the other Loan Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FOURTH” above; and
SIXTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing, amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category.
(f)Waiver of Notice. The Company hereby waives notice of non-payment of any of the accounts, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein.
(g)Delay. No delay or omission on the Holder’s part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.
9.Securities Law Provision. The Debtor recognizes that the Holder may be limited in its ability to effect a sale to the public of all or part of any Note by reason of certain prohibitions in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of other applicable jurisdictions (collectively, the “Securities Laws”), and may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a restricted group of purchasers who may be required to agree to acquire the Note for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Debtor shall cooperate with the Holder in its attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws (including, without limitation, registration thereunder if requested by the Holder) applicable to the sale of Note by Holder.
10.Costs and Expenses. The Debtor and Sky agree to pay all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements pursuant to the UCC, continuation statements, amendments and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches required by the Holder. The Debtor and Sky shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Holder might prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Lien of the Holder. The Debtor and Sky will also, upon demand, pay to the Holder the amount of any and all expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel and the fees and expenses of any experts and agents, which the Holder may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Holder under the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Note, be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
11.Responsibility for Collateral. The Debtor assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Holder (i) has no duty (either before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral, or (ii) has no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and (b) the Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Debtor thereunder. Holder has no obligation or liability under any such
12
contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Holder of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Holder be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Holder in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Holder or to which any Holder may be entitled at any time or times.
12.Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Holder and all obligations of the Debtor shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Notes or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guaranty, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Holder to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to the Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part of the Liens granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Holder shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Debtor expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Holder hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a avoidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Holder, then, in any such event, the Debtor’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Debtor waives all rights to require the Holder to proceed against any other Person or to apply any Collateral which the Holder may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. The Debtor waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.
13.Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Liens granted herein shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Note have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged; provided, however, that all indemnities of the Debtor contained in this Agreement shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.
14.Notices. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to the Company, or to the Holder at their respective addresses set forth below or at such other address as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice of change of address under this Section. Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section 14 only, a “Notice”) to be given to or made upon any party hereto under any provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which includes by means of electronic transmission (i.e., “e-mail”)) or facsimile transmission in accordance with this Section 14.

15.Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of the Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
14
(a)No course of dealing between the Debtor, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Holder, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes or any other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(b)All of the rights and remedies of the Holder with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby, by the Notes, by any other Loan Documents or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.
(c)This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and is intended to supersede all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements with respect thereto. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended except by a written agreement specifically referring to this Agreement and signed by the parties hereto.
(d)In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless such provision is narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement shall, as to such jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
(e)No waiver of any breach or default or any right under this Agreement shall be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the party giving such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or right, whether of the same or similar nature or otherwise.
(f)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns.
(g)Each party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
(h)All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Debtor agrees that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, managers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Utah in Salt Lake City. The Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Utah in Salt Lake City for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees
15
not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(i)This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
(j)The Debtor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Holder and its partners, members, shareholders, managers, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Indemnities”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnity as determined by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in the Notes, or any other Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith and expressly includes attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing the Note and/or this Agreement.
(k)To the extent that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral and the enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of any partner or member, as applicable, of the Debtor, or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Debtor or compliance with any provisions of any of the Organizational Documents, the Debtor hereby grants such consent and approval and waives any such noncompliance with the terms of said documents.
(l)The Company recognizes that, in the event the Company fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Holder; therefore, the Holder shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.
(m)Neither the Holder, nor any agent or attorney for the Holder, shall be liable to the Company (or any affiliate of the Company) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
16
(n)EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
