In addition to any lien to which Floyd Energy® may be entitled by statute or common law, Floyd Energy® will in the event of the Client’s non-payment of any money owing under this Contract, insolvency, bankruptcy or winding up have a general lien on all property whatsoever owned by the Client, or held on its behalf, or a third party’s behalf, in Floyd Energy’s® possession at the time.

Such lien will cover the unpaid Price of any Consulting Services supplied by Floyd Energy® to the Client and any other charges that have arisen by the Late Payment.
