           ----------------------------------

                                       5

<PAGE>

     (a) Rights and Remedies Irrespective of Default:

           (i)  Pledgee may delay exercising or omit to exercise any right or
           remedy under this Pledge Agreement without waiving that, or any other
           past, present or future right or remedy.

           (ii) Pledgee may, at its option, substitute or release such portions
           of the Collateral held hereunder as the Pledgee in its sole
           discretion shall deem proper. In that event, all of the rights and
           privileges of the Pledgee and all Obligations of Pledgor and
           Subsidiary shall be forthwith applicable to said substituted or
           exchanged items of Collateral, the same in all respects as to the
           items of Collateral originally pledged or held as Collateral
           hereunder.

     (b) Rights and Remedies Upon Default: Upon the happening of any of the
foregoing events of default and at any time thereafter, Pledgee shall have the
rights and remedies set forth in the Credit Agreement and, without limitation
thereto, the Pledgee shall have the following additional specific cumulative
rights:

           (i)  To sell, assign and deliver all of said Collateral, or any part
           thereof, or any substitutes therefor, or any additions thereto, at
           public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more
           lots, at the same or different times, for cash and/or credits, at the
           Pledgee's option (or that of anyone acting in the Pledgee's behalf)
           and the Pledgee, and assigns may bid and become purchasers at any
           such sale, whether private or public, as authorized by the Uniform
           Commercial Code as adopted in Arizona. Unless the Collateral held
           under this Pledge Agreement declines speedily in value or are sold on
           a recognized market, Pledgee shall give the Pledgor reasonable notice
           of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time after which
           any private sale is to be made. Any requirement for reasonable notice
           shall be met by the sending of ten (10) days' notice by regular mail,
           postage prepaid to Pledgor's and Subsidiary's last known address. If
           any of the Collateral held under this Pledge Agreement is sold by the
           Pledgee upon credit or for future delivery, Pledgee shall not be
           liable for the failure of the purchaser to pay for the same, and in
           such event Pledgee may re-sell such Collateral. The Pledgee may buy
           any part or all of the Collateral at any public sale, and if the
           Collateral is sold in a recognized market, the Pledgee may buy at
           private sale and make payment for the same by any means including,
           without limitation, application of all or any part of the
           Obligations. The Pledgee shall apply all cash proceeds actually
           received from any sale in the order and subject to the conditions
           provided, if any, in the Arizona Uniform Commercial Code. After
           deducting all legal and other expenses and costs of collections of
           any of said Obligations and all legal or other expenses and costs of
           collection, storage, custody, sale and delivery of

                                       6

<PAGE>

           Collateral held hereunder, the residue of any proceeds of collection
           or sale shall be applied to the payment of principal or interest on
           one or more of said Obligations of Pledgor due or to become due, in
           such order of preference as Pledgee may determine. Pledgor and
           Subsidiary acknowledge and agree that, upon a default under this
           Pledge Agreement, any sale of the Collateral by the Pledgee will be a
           sale in good faith for a bona fide debt and such sale will be exempt
           from Arizona and federal securities laws (the "Securities Act").
           Pledgor and Subsidiary recognize that Pledgee may deem it impractical
           to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Collateral and that
           the Pledgee may, therefore, determine to make one or more private
           sales of any such Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who
           will be obligated to agree among other things, to acquire such
           Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view
           to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor and Subsidiary
           acknowledge that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms
           less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which
           might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the
           foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have
           been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Pledgee shall
           have no obligation to delay sale of any such Collateral for the
           period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to
           register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act.
           Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that for any offer to sell
           the Stock portion of the Collateral which has been (i) publicly
           advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication
           of general circulation in the financial community of Phoenix, Arizona
           (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior
           registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the
           manner described above to not less than ten (10) bona fide offerees
                                                            ---------
           shall be deemed to involve a "public sale," notwithstanding that such
           sale may not constitute a "public offering" under the Securities Act,
           and that the Pledgee may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such
           securities.

           (ii)   At any sale or disposition of the Collateral, the Pledgee may
           accept a trade of property for all or a portion of the sale price.

           (iii)  To require Pledgor and Subsidiary to assemble all records,
           instruments, documents or writings pertaining to the Collateral and
           make such available to the Pledgee at a place, to then be designated
           by the Pledgee, which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

           (iv)   To apply the proceeds realized from disposition of the
           Collateral according to law and to payment of reasonable attorneys'
           fees and legal expenses incurred by Pledgee whether or not suit be
           filed.

                                       7

<PAGE>

           (v)    If the proceeds realized from disposition of the Collateral
           shall fail to satisfy all of the Obligations of Pledgor to Pledgee,
           Pledgor and Subsidiary shall continue to be jointly and severally
           liable and obligated to pay the remaining Obligations and any other
           debts and liabilities which may be owed to Pledgee.

           (vi)   Pledgee may exercise in respect of the 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 upon
           default under the Uniform Commercial Code currently in effect in the
           State of Arizona (whether or not the Code applies to the affected
           Collateral).

           (vii)  Any cash held by or on behalf of Pledgee as Collateral and all
           cash proceeds received by or on behalf of Pledgee in respect of any
           sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part
           of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Pledgee, be held by
           or on behalf of the Pledgee as collateral for, and/or then or at any
           time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Pledgee against,
           all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Pledgee shall
           select. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Pledgee
           and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations shall
           be paid over to the person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

           (viii) To take immediate possession of all records, instruments,
           documents and writings pertaining to the Collateral without notice or
           resort to legal process, and for such purpose to enter upon any
           premises on which such records, instruments, documents, writings or
           any part thereof my be situated and remove the same therefrom.

           (ix)   During any period of default, Pledgor irrevocably appoints
           Pledgee as proxy, with full power of substitution and revocation, to
           exercise Pledgor's rights to attend meetings, vote, consent to and/or
           take any action respecting the Collateral or an issuer thereof as
           fully as Pledgor might do. This proxy remains effective during the
           continuation of any event of default and so long as any sum remains
           unpaid under the Note.

     10.   Uniform Commercial Code. In addition to the provisions of this Pledge
           -----------------------
Agreement, Pledgor shall have all rights and remedies before and after default
as are provided in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of
Arizona.

     11.   Security Interest Absolute and Continuing. All rights of the Pledgee,
           -----------------------------------------
all Security Interests and all Obligations of the Pledgor and Subsidiary
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any change in
the time, manner or place or payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all
or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any
departure from any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) any
increase in, addition to, exchange or release of, or 8 non-perfection of any

or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the
Obligations; (iii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, any other person in respect of the

action on the part of the Pledgee to obtain payment or performance of the
Obligations from the Pledgor, Subsidiary or any other person. This Agreement
