ARTICLE XI
Rights and Remedies of Lender
Section 11.01 Remedies Upon Default. Subject to compliance by Lender
with any the requirement of notice and opportunity to cure as hereafter provided
in Section 11.07 of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Lender shall have, in addition to any and all other rights, remedies and
recourses available to it under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise available
at law or in equity, including specifically, but without limitation, the right
to declare immediately due and payable all or any part of the outstanding
Obligations and accrued but unpaid interest thereon and to foreclose any and all
liens and security interests securing the repayment of same, the right (a) to
take exclusive possession of the Collateral, (b) to prosecute and defend all
actions or proceedings relating to the Collateral, (c) to pay, settle or
compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be liens against the
Collateral, (d) to execute in Borrower's name all applications, certificates and
other instruments which may be required to preserve and protect the Collateral,
and (e) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, attorneys,
accountants and inspectors as Lender may deem desirable to accomplish any of the
above purposes. For these purposes, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints
Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to
take any and all of the above described actions, which power of attorney shall
be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. All sums
expended by Lender for any of the above purposes shall be deemed to be Advances
and shall be secured by the Loan Documents. With respect to each and every right
of Lender enumerated in this Section 11.01, Borrower hereby expressly waives
demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to demand or
accelerate payment, notice of acceleration, diligence in collecting, grace,
notice and protest, except as set forth in Section 11.07 hereof.
Section 11.02 Cessation of Lender's Obligations. Upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document and subject to
Section 11.07 of this Agreement, all obligations (if any) of Lender hereunder,
including specifically any obligation to make Advances hereunder and under the
Notes, shall immediately cease and terminate.
Section 11.03 Acceleration. Subject to Section 11.07, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, declare the
Obligations, together with accrued but unpaid interest, immediately due and
payable without notice of any kind.
Section 11.04 Additional Remedies; Right of Set-Off. In addition to any
other security required or permitted hereunder, Lender is hereby given a lien,
security interest, mortgage and/or pledge for the payment of all debts and
liabilities of Borrower to Lender upon all monies, securities, or other property
of Borrower,
now or hereafter held by Lender (including property held in deposit accounts or
for safekeeping, in custodial accounts or by pledge, or any items received for
collection or transmission and the proceeds thereof). Lender shall have (to the
extent not prohibited or limited by statutory or common law), upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and subject to Section 11.07 of this
Agreement, and provided that such Event of Default is continuing and is not
waived by or remedied to the satisfaction of Lender, (i) the right to withhold
payment of the balance of any deposit account (whether general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final) of Borrower with Lender or pledged by any other
party as Collateral for the Obligations; (ii) the right to appropriate and apply
to the payment of any liabilities of the Borrower to Lender, whether or not then
due, any security therefor and any monies, deposit accounts, claims, securities,
or other property or proceeds thereof; (iii) the right to sell, assign, give
options to purchase, and deliver the whole or any part thereof in one or more
parcels, at public or private sale, at the Lender's offices, or at any exchange
or brokers' board, or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery,
without demand, advertisement, or notice, which are hereby expressly waived by
Borrower; and upon any such sale Lender may become the purchaser of any such
property free from any right of redemption, which is hereby waived and released
by Borrower.
Section 11.05 Funds of Lender. Any funds of Lender used for any purpose
referred to in Section 11.01 shall constitute Advances secured by the Loan
Documents and, subject to Section 13.05, shall bear interest at the rate
specified in the Term Note to be applicable after default thereunder and shall
be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand.
Section 11.06 No Waiver or Exhaustion. No waiver by Lender of any of its
rights or remedies hereunder, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, shall
be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent right or remedy of Lender; no
delay or omission in the exercise or enforcement by Lender of any rights or
remedies shall ever be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy of Lender;
and no exercise or enforcement of any such rights or remedies shall ever be held
to exhaust any right or remedy of Lender.
Section 11.07 Borrower's Right to Cure. If any nonmonetary Event of
Default occurs (except as otherwise stated below), Lender shall not accelerate
the Obligations, make any payments for which Borrower is primarily liable,
foreclose upon or attach any assets of Borrower, or otherwise exercise any other
of Lender's other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents unless it first
personally delivers to Borrower or mails to Borrower written notice as set forth
in Section 13.01 of such default and such default is not fully cured within
thirty (30) days after such notice is so delivered or deposited in the U.S.
mail, provided (i) within ten (10) days after the delivery or mailing of the
notice of default Borrower commences its cure and submits to Lender in writing
its plan to cure, and (ii) said cure is continuously pursued by Borrower with
due diligence. If said nonmonetary Event of Default is not reasonably capable of
being cured within thirty (30) days, Borrower shall have such additional time as
is reasonably necessary to complete the cure, but in no event for more than
sixty (60) days after the delivery or mailing of the notice of default, all
provided (x) said default is in Lender's reasonable judgment curable within said
period, (y) Borrower provides Lender with written, detailed progress reports at
least every thirty (30) days until the cure is complete, and (z) Borrower
continuously and diligently pursues said cure.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, the cure period provided for in
this Section 11.07 shall not apply in the following circumstances:
(a) the failure of Borrower to make a monetary payment to Lender,
including, without limitation, the failure of Borrower to pay any
installment due on either of the Notes; or
(b) the failure of Borrower to pay any taxes now or hereafter
owing by Borrower when due which are not diligently being protested in
good faith in appropriate proceedings by Borrower; or
(c) the failure of Borrower to maintain any of the insurance
required by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the
failure of Borrower to pay any premium when due with respect to any such
insurance; or
(d) except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement and
the Security Agreement, if Borrower transfers or encumbers all or any
portion of its interest in the Collateral (other
than Inventory sold in the ordinary course of Borrower's business)
without the required consent of Lender; or
(e) in any circumstance when a delay in effecting a cure is, in
the reasonable judgment of Lender, likely to result in any security
being damaged, becoming uninsured or rendered unavailable to Lender or
the value thereof being materially and adversely affected; or
(f) any default of the same type or nature which is repeated more
than once in any one (1) calendar year; or
(g) any filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in
bankruptcy by or against Borrower, or for the appointment of a receiver
or trustee of all or a portion of Borrower's property; or
(h) any assignment for the benefit of creditors, fraudulent
conveyance, or other plan or action instituted by Borrower, in any
attempt to avoid the satisfaction of any lawful indebtedness; or
(i) any waste committed to or demolition of the Collateral; or
(j) any nonmonetary default which Lender reasonably determines is
not capable of being cured within the requisite period.
The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to all nonmonetary Events
of Default under all of the Loan Documents, and unless expressly stated
to the contrary in such documents, any cure period referred to therein
shall be deemed to incorporate said provisions. If any of said Loan
Documents are inconsistent with this Section 11.07 the latter shall be
controlling, unless said other document expressly provides otherwise.
Where additional notice or cure periods are provided in this or any
other such documents or are required by any other contract or by law,
said periods and those contained in this Section 11.07 shall run
concurrently. Nothing in this Section 11.07 shall be construed as
extending the term of any of the Notes or the date upon which a default
occurs, and no decision to forego any remedy for any given Event of
Default shall be deemed a waiver on the part of the holder hereof of any
right relating to any other Event of Default. This paragraph shall be
strictly construed, and shall not impair the exercise of any remedy not
referred to above immediately upon any Event of Default, including,
without limitation, the seeking of any mandatory or prohibitive
injunction or restraining order.
Section 11.08 Guarantor's Subordinate Linac Equipment Security Interest.
Lender shall not file suit against Guarantor seeking to collect any amount owed
by Guarantor under the Guaranty until after 180 days from the occurrence of a
default or event of default under any of the Notes, this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, except that Lender shall be permitted to file such suit
against Guarantor at any time after Borrower files a petition in bankruptcy or
Borrower has filed against Borrower an involuntary petition in bankruptcy which
involuntary bankruptcy petition is not dismissed within 60 days of the filing of
the same. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit Lender from
making demand for payment against Borrower, Guarantor or any other person or
exercising any of Lender's other rights and remedies under any of the Notes, the
Guaranty, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Guarantor shall be
permitted to obtain from Borrower a subordinate security interest in the Linac
Equipment provided that the terms, covenants and requirements of Section 4.7 of
the Guaranty are fully complied with and provided:
(a) the security agreement or other documents ("Guarantor's
Security Agreement") creating or perfecting a security interest in the
Linac Equipment in favor of Guarantor (the "Guarantor's Subordinate
Linac Equipment Security Interest") expressly states that the
Guarantor's Subordinate Linac Equipment Security Interest is subordinate
and inferior in all respects to Lender's security interest in and
Lender's other rights with respect to the Linac Equipment and the other
Collateral;
(b) the Guarantor's Subordinate Linac Equipment Security Interest
and Guarantor's Security Agreement is subordinate and inferior in all
respects to Lender's security interest in and Lender's other rights with
respect to the Linac Equipment and the other Collateral and Guarantor's
Subordinate Linac Equipment Security Interest and Guarantor's Security
Agreement shall secure only amounts hereafter owing by Borrower to
reimburse Guarantor for any amounts paid by Guarantor to Lender under
the Guaranty;
(c) the Guarantor's Security Agreement and all financing
statements filed to perfect the Guarantor's Subordinate Linac Equipment
Security Interest and Guarantor's Security Agreement in the Linac
Equipment shall grant a security interest in only the Linac Equipment
and Guarantor shall obtain no other lien or security interests in any of
the other assets of Borrower;
(d) Guarantor shall not enter into Guarantor's Security Agreement
until (i) Lender shall have approved the form and substance of the
Guarantor's Security Agreement and each financing statement filed or to
be filed with respect thereto and (ii) Guarantor shall have executed and
delivered to Lender a subordination agreement acceptable to Lender to
further subordinate the Guarantor's Security Agreement and the
Guarantor's Subordinate Linac Equipment Security Interest to all liens
and security interests now or hereafter obtained by Lender in the Linac
Equipment and the other Collateral;
(e) Guarantor agrees not to foreclose or to take any other action
to enforce (and Guarantor's Security Agreement shall expressly provide
that Guarantor shall not foreclose or enforce) Guarantor's Subordinate
Linac Equipment Security Interest or Guarantor's other rights and
remedies under the Guarantor's Security Agreement or with respect to the
Linac Equipment without the prior written consent of Lender, which may
be granted or denied in Lender's sole discretion;
(f) Upon the sale of any of the Linac Equipment, Guarantor shall
release and terminate Guarantor's Subordinate Linac Equipment Security
Interest and all financing statements filed with respect thereto upon
the written request of Lender;
(g) Guarantor agrees in writing to release and terminate the
Guarantor's Subordinate Linac Equipment Security Interest and all
financing statements filed with respect thereto (and Guarantor's
Security Agreement shall expressly provide for the automatic release and
termination of Guarantor's Subordinate Linac Equipment Security
Interest) upon the earlier of any of the following to occur: (i) 90 days
has elapsed from the occurrence of a default or event of default under
any of the Notes, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and
a fully executed bona fide contract is not then in existence (or a copy
thereof has not been delivered to Lender) from an unrelated third party
for the purchase of the Linac Equipment from Borrower for a purchase
price of at least $10,000,000.00 in cash to be applied first toward
payment of the Obligations until the same are fully and finally paid;
(ii) 180 days has elapsed from the occurrence of a default or event of
default under any of the Notes, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and the Linac Equipment has not been sold by Borrower to an
unrelated third party for at least $10,000,000.00 in cash or all of such
sale proceeds (after payment of reasonable and customary closing costs)
have not been applied first toward payment of the Obligations until the
same are fully and finally paid; (iii) the date Borrower files a
petition in bankruptcy or (iv) the date Borrower has an involuntary
petition in bankruptcy filed against Borrower which involuntary
bankruptcy petition is not dismissed within 60 days; and
In order to permit Borrower and Guarantor additional time to sell the Linac
Equipment upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender agrees not to
foreclose Lender's security interest in any of the Linac Equipment until after
the earlier of any of the following to occur: (i) 90 days has elapsed from the
occurrence of a default or event of default under any of the Notes, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and a fully executed bona fide
contract is not in existence (or a copy thereof has not been delivered to
Lender) from an unrelated third party for the purchase of the Linac Equipment
from Borrower for a purchase price of at least $10,000,000.00 in cash to be
applied first toward payment of the Obligations until the same are fully and
finally paid or (ii) 180 days has elapsed from the occurrence of a default or
event of default under any of the Notes, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and all of the Linac Equipment has not been sold by Borrower to an
unrelated third party for at least $10,000,000.00 in cash or all of such sale
proceeds (after payment of reasonable and customary closing costs) have not been
applied first toward payment of the Obligations until the same are fully and
finally paid. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit or impair
Lender from making demand for payment of any of the Loan or the other
Obligations on Borrower, Guarantor or any other person, foreclosing at any time
Lender's liens and security interests against any of the Collateral other than
the Linac Equipment, giving and posting notices or advertisements at any time of
foreclosure of any of the Collateral including the Linac Equipment or Lender at
any time exercising Lender's other rights and remedies under any of the Notes,
the Guaranty, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Additionally,
nothing contained in this Section 11.08 or Section 4.7 of the Guaranty shall be
construed to (i) permit the sale of any of the Linac Equipment without the prior
written consent of Lender or (ii) impair, affect or limit any of Lender's rights
or remedies under the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents other than Lender's
agreement set forth in this Section 11.08 to temporarily forbear from filing
suit on the Guaranty and from foreclosing on the Linac Equipment but only to the
extent and for the time periods expressly set forth in this Section 11.08.

Borrower and Lender agree that, unless the context otherwise specifies or
requires, the following terms shall have the meaning herein specified:
(a) "Hazardous Materials" shall mean (a) any "hazardous waste" as
defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C.
Section 6901 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and regulations
promulgated thereunder; (b) any "hazardous substance" as defined by the

federal, state or local governmental entity in its collection, storage,
treatment, or disposal.
(b) "Hazardous Materials Contamination" shall mean the
contamination (whether presently existing or hereafter occurring) of the
Collateral, facilities, soil, groundwater, air or other elements on or
around the Collateral by Hazardous Materials, or the contamination of
the buildings, facilities, soil, groundwater, air or other elements on
or of any other property as a result of Hazardous Materials at any time
(whether before or after the date of this Loan Agreement) emanating from
the Collateral.
Section 12.02 Borrower's Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and
warrants that:
(a) No Hazardous Materials are now located on or around the
Collateral, except in full compliance with all applicable law, and
neither Borrower nor, to Borrower's knowledge, any other person has ever
caused or permitted any Hazardous Materials to be placed, held, located
or disposed of on, under or around the Collateral or any part thereof,
except in full compliance with all applicable law;
(b) No part of the Collateral is being used or, to the knowledge
of Borrower, has been used at any previous time for the disposal,
storage, treatment, processing or other handling of Hazardous Materials,
except in full compliance with all applicable law, nor is any part of

in full compliance with all applicable law;
(c) No investigation, administrative order, consent order and
agreement, litigation or settlement with respect to Hazardous Materials
or Hazardous Materials Contamination is proposed, threatened,
anticipated or in existence with respect to the Collateral.
Section 12.03 Borrower's Covenants. Borrower agrees to (a) give notice
to Lender immediately upon Borrower's acquiring knowledge of the presence of any
Hazardous Materials on or around any of the Collateral in violation of
applicable
law or of any Hazardous Materials Contamination in violation of applicable law
with a full description thereof; (b) promptly comply with any governmental
requirements requiring the removal, treatment or disposal of such Hazardous
Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and provide Lender with
satisfactory evidence of such compliance; and (c) provide Lender, within thirty
(30) days after demand by Lender, with a bond, letter of credit or similar
financial assurance evidencing to Lender's satisfaction that the necessary funds
are available to pay the cost of removing, treating and disposing of such
Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and discharging any
assessments which may be established on or around any of the Collateral as a
result thereof.
Section 12.04 Site Assessments. Lender (by its officers, employees and
agents) at any time and from time to time, either prior to or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, may contract for the services of persons (the
"Site Reviewers") to perform environmental site assessments ("Site Assessments")
on or around the Collateral for the purpose of determining whether there exists
on or around the Collateral any environmental condition which could reasonably
be expected to result in any liability, cost or expense to the owner, occupier
or operator of such Collateral arising under any state, federal or local law,
rule or regulation relating to Hazardous Materials. The Site Assessments may be
performed at any time or times, upon reasonable notice, and under reasonable
conditions established by Borrower which do not impede the performance of the
Site Assessments. After the date of this Agreement, Lender will require Site
Assessments only if Lender in good faith believes that there may be Hazardous
Material Contamination on or around any of the Collateral and Lender will not
require such Site Assessments to be performed more than once a year except that
Lender shall be permitted to cause to be performed follow up Site Assessment(s),
at any time if any Site Assessment recommends that such follow up site
Assessment(s) be performed. The Site Reviewers are hereby authorized to enter
upon the Collateral for such purposes. The Site Reviewers are further authorized
to perform both above and below the ground testing for environmental damage or
the presence of Hazardous Materials on or around the Collateral and such other
tests on the Collateral as may be necessary to conduct the Site Assessments in
the reasonable opinion of the Site Reviewers. Borrower will supply to the Site
Reviewers such historical and operational information regarding the Collateral
as may be reasonably requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site
Assessments and will make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers
appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. On request, Lender shall
make the results of such Site Assessments fully available to Borrower, which
(prior to an Event of Default) may at its election participate under reasonable
procedures in the direction of such Site Assessments and the description of
tasks of the Site Reviewers. The cost of performing such Site Assessments shall
be paid by Borrower upon demand of Lender and any such obligations shall accrue
interest at the maximum nonusurious rate and shall be Obligations secured by the
Loan Documents.
Section 12.05 Indemnification. Regardless of whether any Site
Assessments are conducted hereunder, if any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing or any remedies in respect of the Collateral are
exercised by Lender, Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender
and Trustee from any and all liabilities (including strict liability), actions,
demands, penalties, losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses, and remedial costs), suits, costs of any
settlement or judgment and claims of any and every kind whatsoever which may now
or in the future be paid, incurred or suffered by or asserted against Lender or
Trustee by any person or entity or governmental agency for, with respect to, or
as a direct or indirect result of, the presence on, under or around, or the
escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from the
Collateral of any Hazardous Materials or any Hazardous Materials Contamination
or arise out of or result from the environmental condition of the Collateral or
the applicability of any governmental requirements relating to Hazardous
Materials (including, without limitation, CERCLA or any federal, state or local
so-called "Superfund" or "Superlien" laws, statute, law, ordinance, code, rule,
regulation, order or decree), regardless of whether or not caused by or within
the control of Borrower or Lender, except for any of the same caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. The representations,
covenants, warranties and indemnifications contained in this Section 12 shall
survive the full and final payment of all Obligations.
Section 12.06 Lender's Right to Remove Hazardous Materials. Lender shall
have the right but not the obligation, prior or subsequent to an Event of
Default, without in any way limiting Lender's other rights and remedies under
this Loan Agreement, to enter onto the Collateral or to take such other actions
as it deems necessary or advisable to clean up, remove, resolve or minimize the
impact of, or otherwise deal with any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials
Contamination on or around the Collateral following a recommendation for such
action from any Site Reviewer. Lender shall use good faith efforts to cause any
such clean up or removal by Lender of Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials
Contamination to be done in compliance with all state and federal applicable
law. All costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lender in the exercise of any
such rights shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Loan Documents and
shall be payable by Borrower upon demand.
ARTICLE XIII

personally delivered, (b) the third day after deposit into the care and custody
of the United States Postal Service, if mailed by first class United States
mail, postage prepaid, by registered or certified with return receipt requested,
(c) as of the date of transmission if sent by telecopy or facsimile with a copy
thereof being also sent on the same date by regular United States mail or (d) as

provided, however, that either party shall have the right to change its address
for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States
by the giving of 30 days' written notice to the other party in the manner set
forth hereinabove.
Section 13.02 Waiver. Any failure by Lender to insist, or any election
by Lender not to insist, upon Borrower's strict performance of any of the terms,
provisions or conditions of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of same or of any other term, provision or condition thereof; and Lender
shall have the right at any time thereafter to insist upon strict performance by
Borrower of any and all of same. Specifically, no Advance by Lender when there
exists an Event of Default under Article X hereinabove shall in any way preclude
Lender from thereafter declaring such failure to comply to be an Event of
Default hereunder.
Section 13.03 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants of
Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.
Section 13.04 Participations. Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer,
assign or grant participations in the loans described in or evidenced by this
Agreement; and Lender may forward to each participant and prospective
participant all documents and information relating to such loan, whether
furnished by Borrower or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.
Section 13.05 Limitations on Interest. All agreements between Lender and
Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral,
are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand for
payment or acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the interest
contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceed the maximum amount
permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest
would otherwise be payable to Lender in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the
interest payable to Lender shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted
under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Lender shall ever receive
anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum
lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal obligation and not to the payment of interest, or if

SCHEDULE 8.03
In connection with the purchase of MAC Isotopes, Inc. (now International
Isotopes Idaho Inc.) from MACTEC, Inc., I(3) provided MACTEC with consideration
in the form of 159,416 shares of common stock of I(3) based on a value of
approximately $19.91 per share (the "Merger Price"). MACTEC has the option to
sell back to the Company 50% of the 159,416 shares on April 24, 1999 and the
remaining 50% on April 24, 2000. The purchase price to be paid by I(3) is (a)
the Merger Price plus (b) 50% of the difference between (i) the then market
price of I(3)'s stock and (ii) the Merger Price, provided that if the market
price is less than the Merger Price I(3) need only pay the Merger Price.
Auric Partners, a company affiliated with a member of the I(3) Board of
Directors, has agreed, if I(3) does not purchase the shares, to repurchase the
shares from MACTEC, provided that if the market price at the time of purchase is
less than the Merger Price, I(3) is obligated to pay Auric, in cash or warrants,
at I(3)'s election, the difference between the market price and the Merger
Price.
