maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether
or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b)

---------------------------
(a) The occurrence of any of the following is an "Event of Default":

(ii) Pledgor shall be in default in the performance of any
covenant herein and such default shall continue for 10 days after
receipt of notice thereof; or

(b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged
Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for
herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a
secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code (the
"Code") in effect in the State of Colorado at that time, or under the
laws of any other applicable jurisdiction; provided, however, Secured
-------- -------
Party shall have no right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any
part of the Pledged Collateral until such time as an Event of Default
has occurred and all of the Obligations have become due and payable,
whether by acceleration or otherwise. Subject to the foregoing,
Secured Party may also, with prior notice as specified below, sell the
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at
public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any of
Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem
commercially reasonable. Pledgor agrees that at least 10 days' notice
to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of
-6-
Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it
was so adjourned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may
elect to purchase any or all of the Pledged Collateral and apply the
purchase price thereof to the payment of the Obligations hereunder.
The purchase price for such purchase of the Pledged Collateral shall
be equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the Note)
of the Pledged Collateral which Secured Party determines to purchase
hereunder.
(ii) Any cash held by Secured Party as Pledged Collateral and
all cash proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Pledged Collateral shall be held by Secured Party as collateral to be
applied by Secured Party against the Obligations. Any surplus of such
cash or cash proceeds and interest accrued thereon, if any, held by
Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the
Obligations shall be paid over to Pledgor or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive such surplus; provided that Secured Party
shall have no obligation to invest or otherwise pay interest on any
amounts held by it in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement.
(iii) Subject to Section 22, all rights and remedies of Secured
Party expressed herein are in addition to all other rights and
remedies possessed by Secured Party in any other agreement or
instrument relating to the Obligations.
Section 13. Sales, Etc.
----------
(a) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell
all or any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 12, Pledgor agrees
that, upon request of Secured Party, Pledgor will, at its own expense do or
cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make
such sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding
as against Pledgor.
(b) Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any private sale of any or
all of the Pledged Collateral may result in prices and other terms less
favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner.
Section 14. Indemnity and Expenses. Subject to Section 22 hereof,

Pledgor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify the Secured
Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of

this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the
negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party, and upon demand to pay to
Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the fees
and disbursements of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which Secured
Party may

incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement, (b) the
custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon any of the Pledged Collateral, (c) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder or (d) the
failure by Pledgor to perform or observe of the provisions hereof.
Section 15. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision

instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 17. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Secured Party,
--------------------------
all obligations of Pledgor hereunder and the security interest hereunder, shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, be absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Note, the
Obligations or any of the other documents securing the Obligations;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment 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 Note or any of the other
documents securing the Obligations;
(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral,
or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or
(d) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor or any other person that is a
party to any document in respect of Obligations.
Section 18. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement and the
----------------------------
delivery of the Pledged Collateral to Secured Party shall create a continuing
security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force
and effect until payment in full of the Obligations, (b) be binding upon Pledgor
and his or its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns and (c)
inure to the benefit of Secured Party and its respective successors, transferees
and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c),
Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this
Agreement to any other person in connection with the transfer of the Note and
such transferee shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect
thereof granted herein or otherwise to Secured Party as the case may be and
shall be
-8-
bound by all of Secured Party's obligations and limitations hereunder. Upon the
payment in full of the Obligations, Pledgor shall be entitled to the return,
upon its request, of such of the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold
or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 19. Waiver of Marshalling. All rights of marshalling of
---------------------

against or exhaust any security held for the obligations or (ii) pursue any
other remedy available to Secured Party.
Section 20. Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers
-----------------
provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise
thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions
of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory
provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the, extent
necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable,
in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under
the provisions of any applicable law.
Section 21. Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the
-------------------
contrary contained herein or in any other instrument or document executed in
connection herewith, Pledgor shall never be required to pay unearned interest or
interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate that may be lawfully
charged under the laws of the State of Colorado or the United States of America,
whichever is applicable and higher in amount (the "Highest Lawful Rate"), with
respect to any obligations secured hereby. If the effective rate of interest
which would otherwise be payable with respect to any such obligations would
exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then the rate of interest that would otherwise
be charged hereunder with respect to such obligations shall be reduced to the
Highest Lawful Rate. If the holder of any obligations secured hereby shall
receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to
constitute interest (including, without limitation, to the extent that any of
the fees payable by the Pledgor to Secured Party under the obligations secured
hereby are deemed to constitute interest) in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate,
then such unearned interest paid by Pledgor or such interest paid by Pledgor in
excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be deemed a partial prepayment of the
principal of such obligations secured hereby and, if the principal of such
obligations is repaid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be refunded
to Pledgor.
Section 22. Limited Personal Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to
-------------------------
the contrary set forth herein, Pledgor's personal liability with respect to the
Obligations shall be limited to the following extent and in the following
manner, but only to the following extent and in the following manner: Pledgor's
personal liability for the Obligations hereunder which become due and payable
upon the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) or the date to which the
maturity of the Note is accelerated (the "Acceleration Date"), shall not exceed
the Recourse Amount (as defined below). To the extent that the net proceeds
following the sale or other disposition (including net proceeds deemed paid
pursuant to the last sentence of to Section 13(b)(i)) of all of the Pledged
Collateral by Secured Party together with all amounts paid to Secured Party
pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (such net proceeds together with the amounts
paid to Secured Party under the Escrow Agreement, the "Proceeds") is less than
the Recourse Amount, Pledgor shall be personally liable for the difference
between the Recourse Amount and
-9-
the Proceeds, but if such Proceeds exceed the Recourse Amount, Pledgor shall
have no further liability for the Obligations hereunder and Pledgor's obligation
hereunder will be deemed terminated. Except as provided in the immediately
preceding two sentences, no deficiency or other money judgment, order or
execution shall be sought, taken or entered in any suit, action or proceeding,
whether legal or equitable, relating to or based upon the Note, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, against Pledgor for the purpose of obtaining or
seeking collection, satisfaction or payment of the Obligations or performance or
satisfaction of any obligation or any claim arising under the Note, hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, but that Secured Party shall seek such
satisfaction and payment and performance only from the Pledged Collateral and
the proceeds thereof, and all such rights to suit, action, proceeding or
deficiency are hereby waived; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent or
limit the enforcement of rights or remedies of Secured Party against the Pledged
Collateral, which enforcement shall be to the full extent of the Pledged
Collateral, or to enforce any rights or remedies of Secured Party in any action
to recover from Pledgor to the extent set forth in this Section 22. Secured
Party agrees that it shall look first to the Pledged Collateral and the amounts
payable to it pursuant to the Escrow Agreement for the repayment of all
Obligations hereunder and that Secured Party shall only proceed against Pledgor
personally following the exhaustion of all rights granted to Secured Party
hereby with respect to the Pledged Collateral. The term "Recourse Amount" shall
be the amount which is equal to 25% of the Accreted Amount (as defined in the
Note) plus all other sums owing under the Note.
Section 23. Separability. Should any clause, sentence, paragraph,
------------
subsection or Section of this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid,
unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or
voiding the remainder of this Agreement, and the parties hereto agree that the
part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void
will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom by the parties hereto, and the
remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such stricken part or
parts had never been included herein.
Section 24. Captions. The captions in this Agreement have been
--------
inserted for convenience only and shall be given no substantive meaning or
significance whatever in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 25. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of Secured
-------------------
Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of
any remedies provided by law.
Section 26. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
-------------------------
in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
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.
Section 27. Escrow Agreement. Prior to the payment of any cash
----------------
dividend or distribution on the Pledged Collateral or the sale of all or a
portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 8(b), the parties shall
negotiate in good faith and enter into a mutually
-10-
acceptable escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") having terms and conditions
which are customary under the circumstances and which shall include the
following: (x) that Pledgor will be entitled to select the escrow agent
thereunder, such escrow agent to be reasonably acceptable to Secured Party, (y)
such escrow agent will hold all such cash amounts received by it pursuant to
Sections 7 and 8 in an interest bearing account pending the date all amounts
under the Note become due and owing (at the stated maturity thereof or upon
acceleration), and (z) upon the Maturity Date (as defined in Note) or upon
acceleration of the Note as provided therein, all amounts then held by the
escrow agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement will be delivered to Secured Party
and will be applied to the Obligations, with any amounts remaining after payment
in full of the Obligations to be paid to Pledgor.

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO, WITHOUT REGARD
TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
