self-regulatory organization applicable to the Pledgor.

levies imposed upon it or upon his property, and (ii) all lawful claims which,
if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon his property, provided, however, that

further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect any security interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Lenders to exercise
and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged
Collateral.
SECTION 7. Remedies. Upon a default of Borrower in payment of
the Obligations, Lender shall have the right to pursue its remedies in
accordance with and subject to the Uniform Commercial Code and this Agreement;
provided, however, Lender shall be prohibited from taking any actions under this
Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after Lender has informed Colpafinsa
and GNB in writing of a default of Borrower in payment of the Obligations.
3
If Colpafinsa and/or GNB take no action to foreclose upon the
"Pledged Shares" within thirty (30) days after having received written notice
from Lender of a default in the Obligations, Lender shall have the right to
foreclose against 1,000,000 shares of the Pledged Shares, on its own, and
without any rights of participation against the proceeds of such shares by
Colpafinsa and GNB until the Obligations to Lender are satisfied.
If Colpafinsa and/or GNB:
(A) elect to foreclose against the Pledged Shares within
thirty (30) days after they have received written notice from Lender of a
default of Borrower in the payment of the Obligations, or
(B) GNB and/or Colpafinsa take actions to foreclose upon the
Pledged Shares as a result of a default by Borrower under the terms of the Prior
Loans or the Prior Pledge Agreement (providing Lender has not already instituted
its foreclosure of 1,000,000 shares of the Pledge Shares as provided for above)
then:
GNB or Colpafinsa shall have the right to
control the sale of the Pledged Shares; provided they act with reasonable due
diligence to sell the Pledged Shares upon any foreclosure; and if they do not
take any reasonable actions upon any foreclosure, the provisions of this Section
7(i) shall not be applicable; and
Lender shall have the right to have a pro
rata share of the net proceeds from the sale of the Pledged Shares. For purposes
of this subSection 7(ii) a "prorata share" shall mean the greater of (a) 25% or
(b) the proportion derived from dividing 1,000,000 by 1,000,000 plus the number
of other shares of stock of the Borrower comprising the "Pledged Shares" under
this Agreement. In this connection it is acknowledged that GNB and/or Colpafinsa
and Pledgor may release up to 3,000,000 shares of the Pledged Shares from the
terms of this Agreement and the Prior Pledge Agreement, but such release shall
not effect the 1,000,000 shares reserved for the benefit of Lender under this
Agreement.
SECTION 8. Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary but subject to its participation in any proceeds of a
foreclosure on the Pledged Shares as provided in Section 7, Lender shall not be
considered to have any right in the Pledged Shares (as between it and GNB and
Colpafinsa) in excess of 1,000,000 shares.
SECTION 9. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Pledgor
herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
SECTION 10. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other
communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic
and telex communication) and mailed or telegraphed or telexed or delivered, if

SECTION 11. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this
Agreement which is provided or uneforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be effective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
