under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person
that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's or any
Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective
obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any Grantor under this
Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material
respect at the time made or furnished, or becomes false or misleading at
any time thereafter.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related
Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any
Security Agreement to create a valid and perfected Security Interest) at
any time and for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s existence as a
going business, the insolvency of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the appointment of a receiver

creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower, any creditor

EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except
where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all
commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related
Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate, and, at
Lender's option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable,

Event of Default of the type described in the "Insolvency" subsection

prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by
▇▇▇▇▇▇ to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy,
and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an
obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s right to
declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF COLORADO IF THERE IS A LAWSUIT, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ AGREES
UPON ▇▇▇▇▇▇'S REQUEST TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF EL

COLORADO.
Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions
of this Agreement.
Multiple Parties; Corporate Authority. All obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to Borrower
shall mean each and every Borrower. This means that each of the Borrowers
signing below is responsible for ALL obligations in this Agreement.
Consent to Loan Participation. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees and consents to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation
interests in the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or
unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation
whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any
information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other
matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to
privacy it may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally
waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as
all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be
considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loans and will
have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements
governing the sale of such participation interests.
Costs and Expenses. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay upon demand all of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification and
collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made pursuant
to this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may pay someone else to help collect the Loans
and to enforce this Agreement, and Borrower will pay that amount. This
includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s attorneys'
fees and ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including attorneys' fees for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to
modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
anticipated post-judgment collection services. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ also will pay any
court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.
Notices. All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be
given in writing, may be sent by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and shall be effective
when actually delivered or when deposited with a nationally recognized
overnight courier or deposited in the United States mail, first class,
postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given
at the address shown above. Any party may change its address for notices
under this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties,
specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's address.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, if there is more than one
Borrower, notice to any Borrower will constitute notice to all Borrowers.
For notice purposes, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to keep ▇▇▇▇▇▇ informed at all times
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s current address(es).
Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any
provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower" as
used herein shall include all subsidiaries and affiliates of Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this
Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other
financial accommodation to any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower.
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not,
however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower
in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have been
relied upon by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery
to Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by
▇▇▇▇▇▇ or on ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s behalf.
Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this
Agreement.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. No
delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by ▇▇▇▇▇▇
of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver
of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision
or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, nor
any course of dealing between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Borrower, or between Lender and
any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any
obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor as to any future transactions.
Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the
granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute
continuing consent in subsequent instances where such consent is required,
and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
discretion of Lender.

Additionally, this Business Loan Agreement includes the following:
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. However, this Event of Default shall
not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or Grantor, as the
case may be, as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the
basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, and if Borrower or Grantor
gives ▇▇▇▇▇▇ written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and
furnished reserves or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture
proceeding satisfactory to Lender.
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a Default on Indebtedness, is
curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given
a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it
may be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if Borrower or
Grantor, as the case may be, after receiving written notice from Lender
demanding cure of such default: (a) cures the default within thirty (30)
days; or (b) if the cure requires more than thirty (30) days, immediately
initiates steps which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ deems in ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s sole discretion to be
sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.
