        2.1 Organization and Qualification. Borrower is a corporation duly
organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Except as set forth on Exhibit C, Borrower is duly qualified to do business in
each jurisdiction where the conduct of its business requires qualification and
where the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, or financial
condition of Borrower ("MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT"). Borrower has the full power
and authority to own its properties and to conduct the business in which it
engages and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents,
and all agreements, documents, obligations, and transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

        2.2 Authorization. The execution, delivery, and performance by Borrower
of the Loan Documents and all agreements, documents, obligations, and
transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of Borrower and are not inconsistent with
Borrower's organizational documents or any resolution of the Board of Directors
of Borrower, do not and will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a
default under, any material indenture, mortgage, contract, or other instrument
to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound. Upon their execution
and delivery, the Loan Documents will constitute legal, valid, and binding
agreements and obligations of Borrower and are enforceable in accordance with
their terms.

        2.3 Pending Litigation. Except as disclosed in Exhibit C, there is no
action, suit or proceeding pending or to the best of Borrower's knowledge,
threatened, against or affecting Borrower or the Collateral, in any court of law

whether federal, state, county or municipal, which would have a Material Adverse
Effect on Borrower's ability to perform under the Loan Documents.

statements delivered to Lender by Borrower are accurate, complete, prepared in
good faith, and accurately present the financial condition of Borrower and

Borrower's business as of the dates thereof. No material adverse change has
occurred in the financial condition of Borrower reflected therein since June 1,
2002 and no additional borrowings have been made by Borrower since June 1, 2002
other than the borrowing contemplated hereby, or approved by Lender.

Filings complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "SECURITIES ACT") or the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the Commission
promulgated thereunder applicable to such Commission Filings, and (ii) none of
the Commission Filings contained at the time of its filing any untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of Borrower included in the Commission Filings, as of the dates of
such documents, were true and complete in all material respects and complied
with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations
of the Commission with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") (except
in the case of unaudited statements permitted by under the Exchange Act) applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in
the notes thereto) and fairly presented in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of Borrower and its subsidiaries as of the dates
thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments that in the aggregate are not material and to any
other adjustment described therein).

contrary contained in the Loan Documents, Lender will not be obligated to

proceedings pending or to Borrower's knowledge and warranties threatened against

                                    ARTICLE 4
                              COVENANTS OF BORROWER

        Borrower agrees and covenants with Lender as follows:

        4.1 Further Documentation. Upon Lender's written request and at
Borrower's sole expense, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver
such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Lender
may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining, giving notice of,
protecting, preserving and perfecting the security interests granted under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or
continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (the "CODE") in effect
in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby, the
recording of the security interests granted hereunder in any intellectual
property with the appropriate governmental or other authorities in any
jurisdiction. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file for record each
financing statement it deems necessary in each jurisdiction in order to perfect
the security interest granted to Lender in the Loan Documents. Borrow agrees
that, upon request from Lender, Borrower will deliver to Lender such other
evidence of Borrower's good standing and authority and a copy of an original
certificate of resolutions of Borrower acceptable to Lender.

        4.2 Maintenance of Records. Borrower will keep and maintain records of
the Collateral. For Lender's further security, Lender will have a security
interest in all of the books and records of Borrower pertaining to the
Collateral.

        4.3 Limitation on Dispositions of Collateral. Borrower will use all
commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the Collateral without material
impairment while conducting its business in the ordinary course in a manner that
is consistent with Borrower's past business


                                       4
<PAGE>

practices. Borrower will not, through any license, encumbrance, assignment,
transfer or disposition of any of the Collateral, any creation of obligations of
Borrower, or any other action, (i) avoid or seek to avoid the observation or
performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by Borrower under
any Loan Document, (ii) materially impair the benefit of any Loan Document or
the Collateral to Lender, or (iii) materially and adversely affect Lender's
ability to operate, or obtain the financial or economic benefit of, the
Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Borrower will at
all times in good faith take, and assist in taking, all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect Lender's rights under the Loan Documents
from impairment and to preserve for Lender's benefit the value of the
Collateral.

        4.4 Payment of Taxes and Assessments. Borrower will pay prior to
delinquency all taxes and assessments assessed against, levied upon or placed
against the Collateral.

        4.5 Insurance. Borrower shall maintain insurance with respect to the
Collateral and its business in accordance with the insurance standards and
practices adhered to generally by owners of like collateral. All insurance
policies shall be with companies reasonably acceptable to Lender, shall contain
loss payable clauses in favor of Lender (or name Lender as the loss payee), and
shall provide that coverage cannot be canceled, modified, or diminished in any
manner without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lender.
Trustor shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such
insurance has been obtained and remains in place.

        4.6 Financial Statements. Borrower covenants that it shall provide
Lender all reports, proxy statements, forms and other documents filed with the
Commission within three (3) days of their filing with the Commission and with
such other financial statements and reports as Lender may reasonably request,
and that such statements and reports shall be prepared in good faith, and shall
fully and fairly represent Borrower's financial condition and the results of its
operations for the period or periods covered. As to all financial statements and
reports which Borrower has furnished or may in the future furnish to Lender,
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such annual financial statements shall be
audited and that it has a contractual obligation to ensure that such statements
and reports are accurate and complete. If any financial statements and reports
are not timely provided to Lender, and Lender determines to notify Borrower, in
writing, that the same have not been timely provided, then Borrower shall have
thirty (30) days from the date of Lender's written notice to deliver the
delinquent financial statements or reports to Lender. Nothing in this Section
shall be construed to require that Lender give Borrower the written notice and
the additional thirty (30) day grace period to provide delinquent financial
reports as described above. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to alter,
impair or infringe upon Lender's right to declare an Event of Default as
provided in this Agreement or to alter or extend the time limits for cure of a
non-monetary default as provided in this Agreement.

        4.7 Tax Returns. Borrower shall (1) file all applicable federal, state,
and local tax returns or other statements required to be filed in connection
with its business, including those for income taxes, sales taxes, property
taxes, payroll taxes, payroll withholding amounts, FICA contributions, and
similar items; (2) maintain appropriate reserves for the accrual of the same;
and (3) pay when due all such taxes, or sums or assessments made in connection
therewith. Provided, however, that (until distraint, foreclosure, sale, or
similar proceedings have been


                                       5
<PAGE>

commenced) nothing herein will require Borrower to pay any sum or assessment,
the validity of which is being contested in good faith by proceedings diligently
pursued and as to which adequate reserves have been made.

        4.8 Negative Covenants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
and as long as amounts under the Note, or the obligation of Lender to advance
amounts under this Agreement remain outstanding, Borrower agrees not to do any
of the following without Lender's prior written consent:

               a. Repurchase Capital Stock. Repurchase any shares of capital

                                    REMEDIES

        6.1 Termination and Acceleration; Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, all obligations of Lender under this Agreement, and under the
other Loan Documents at the election of Lender, shall cease and terminate and
Lender may declare all amounts outstanding under the Note and other Loan
Documents immediately due and payable and may seek recovery for the Loan and
realize upon the Collateral and may take any action to which it is entitled
under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note
thereon to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest,
or other notice of any kind. Lender may, in its sole discretion, suspend or
terminate any obligation it may have hereunder to make additional Loans.
Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against
any and all claims, expenses, losses, and liabilities incurred by Lender with
respect to the exercise of any of its rights or remedies, except such matters
arising from Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent
permitted by law, Borrower waives any rights to presentment, demand, protest, or
notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement and the Note. No failure or
delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power, or privilege
hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power, or privilege.

        6.2 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and powers
conferred in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every
other right, power, and remedy that Lender may have, whether specifically
granted in the Loan Documents, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute; and
any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as
often and in such order as Lender may deem expedient. Any waiver, forbearance or
delay by Lender in exercising any of its rights, remedies, and powers shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of such rights, remedies and powers and the exercise or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, or


                                       9
<PAGE>

power, and shall not preclude the further exercise of such right, remedy, and
power and the same shall continue in full force and effect until specifically
waived by an instrument in writing executed by Lender.

        6.3 Attorney-in-Fact. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower's true
and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments
and to do and perform any act such as referred to herein in the name and on
behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is irrevocable and is coupled with an
interest.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        7.1 Non-Waiver. No advance of Loan proceeds under this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of any of the conditions to be performed by Borrower and in
the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such conditions Lender shall not be
precluded from declaring such failure to be an Event of Default.

        7.2 Survival. All representations, warranties and covenants of Borrower
shall survive the making of a Loan and all Loans and the provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon Borrower, Borrower's successors and assigns and
inure to the benefit of Lender, Lender's successors and assigns.

        7.3 Derivative Rights. Any obligation of Lender to make disbursements
under this Agreement is imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of
Borrower and no other person, firm or corporation shall, under any
circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such condition, nor shall it
have any derivative claim or action against Lender.

        7.4 Conflict. The Loan Documents shall be subject to all the terms,
covenants, conditions, obligations, stipulations and agreements contained in
this Agreement. In the event there is any conflict between the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall
prevail.

        7.5 Assignment. Lender may assign the Loan Documents, in whole or in
part, to any other person, firm or corporation provided that all provisions of
this Agreement shall continue to apply in conjunction with the other Loan
Documents. In the event of such assignment, it shall be deemed to have been made
in pursuance of this Agreement and not to be a modification of this Agreement,
and the disbursements and advances subsequently made shall be governed by the
Loan Documents. Borrower shall not assign this Agreement, or any interest of
Borrower in or to this Agreement, the Loan proceeds, or any of the Loan
Documents without the prior written consent of Lender. Any dissolution of
Borrower, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written
consent of Lender shall be assumed to be an assignment in violation of this
Section.

been sufficiently given or served when personally delivered, deposited in the
United States mail, by

<PAGE>

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$7,000,000                                                         June 27, 2002
                                                             ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA


        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MTI TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
("COMPANY"), hereby promises to pay to the order of THE CANOPY GROUP, INC.
("LENDER") the principal sum of Seven Million and no/100 Dollars
($7,000,000.00), or such other greater or lesser amount as may be outstanding,
together with accrued interest thereon as provided below, on or before the
Maturity Date (as that term is defined in Section 1 below) at the offices of
Lender, or at such other address as Lender may specify in writing. This Note is
issued in connection with that certain Loan Agreement by and between Company and
Lender dated as of an even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement")

        1.     "Maturity Date" shall mean June 30, 2003 for all advances on this
               Note.

        2.     Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this Note
               at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, computed on the basis
               of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days and
               shall be payable to Lender within three days of the end of each
               calendar quarter; provided, however, that in the event of an
               Event of Default pursuant to Section 8, below, interest shall
               accrue at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or, if such
               rate is prohibited by applicable law, the highest interest rate
               permitted by applicable law.

        3.     Company's obligations under this Note are secured by the
               collateral described in that certain Security Agreement between
               Company and Lender dated as of the date hereof (the "Security
               Agreement" and, together with this Note and the Loan Agreement
               the "Loan Documents"). A UCC Financing Statement will be filed to
               perfect the security interest granted therein.

        4.     Company may prepay this Note at any time, in whole or in part.
               Acceptance by Lender of any partial payment shall not be deemed
               to constitute a waiver by Lender to require prompt payment of the
               Note on the Maturity Date, or as otherwise provided herein. Any
               partial payment will be applied (a) first, to the payment of
               accrued interest, and (b) second, to the extent that the amount
               of such prepayment exceeds the amount of all such accrued
               interest, to the payment of principal.

        5.     This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances on the
               revolving line of credit may be requested by the authorized
               agents as provided in the Loan Agreement. Lender may, but need
               not, require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing. Upon
               the Company's request for an advance pursuant to the conditions
               set forth in the Loan Agreement, Lender shall deliver such
               requested amount to Borrower. The Company agrees to be liable for
               all sums advanced in accordance with the instructions of its
               officers or authorized persons. The unpaid principal balance
               owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by Lender's
               records for


<PAGE>

               the Loans, endorsements on this Note, or by a Schedule attached
               to this Note. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in
               this Note, in no event shall Lender be obligated to advance and
               have outstanding at any one time more than a total amount of
               principal exceeding $7,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the
               contrary contained in this Note or the Loan Agreement, Lender has
               no obligation to make advances under this Note if the Company is
               in default under any of the Loan Documents.

        6.     In the event of any action to enforce payment of this Note, in
               addition to all other relief, the prevailing party in such action
               shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

        7.     Company hereby waives presentment, protest and demand, notice of
               protest, demand, nonpayment or dishonor.

        8.     The occurrence of any of the following conditions shall
               constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this
               Note:

                      a. Default in Payment. If Company fails to make any
               payment due and payable within ten (10) days of the due date
               under the terms of the Loan Documents.

                      b. Loan Documents. If Company shall be in material default
               as provided in the Loan Agreement.

                      c. Bankruptcy. If a petition in bankruptcy is filed
               against Company, and such petition is not dismissed within sixty
               (60) days of filing, a petition in bankruptcy is filed by Company
               or a receiver, trustee or custodian of any part of the Collateral
               is appointed; or if Company files a petition for reorganization
               under any of the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act or any law,
               State or Federal, or makes an assignment for the benefit of
               creditors or is adjudged insolvent by any State or Federal Court
               of competent jurisdiction.

               In the event of an Event of Default under this Section 8, Lender
               shall, in addition to any other remedies allowed by law, by
               written notice to Company, be entitled to accelerate all unpaid
               principal and interest under this Note and to exercise all
               remedies provided in the Loan Agreement and/or available at law
               and in equity. Waiver of any Event of Default will not constitute
               a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default.

        9.     This Note is to be governed by and construed in accordance with
               the laws of the State of Utah.

        10.    As of the date of this Note, Company hereby represents and
               warrants to Lender that Company is a corporation duly organized,
               validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
               of Delaware and has all requisite corporate

               power and authority to carry on its business and to issue this
               Note and the Security Agreement.

               Note and the Security Agreement and the advancement of funds
               hereunder.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Note is hereby executed as of the date first
set forth above:

incurred, under or in connection with or evidenced by the Notes, the Loan
Agreement, and/or this Security Agreement, together with all extensions,
modifications, or renewals of any of the foregoing, including, without
limitation, all

unpaid principal of the Notes, all interest accrued thereon, all fees and all
other amounts payable by Company to Secured Party thereunder or in connection
therewith (hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the "Obligations").

        3. PROCEEDS; UCC TERMS. As used in this Security Agreement, the term
"proceeds" means all products of the Collateral and all additions and accessions
to, replacements of, insurance or condemnation proceeds of, and documents
covering any of the Collateral, all property received wholly or partly in trade
or exchange for any of the Collateral, all leases of any of the Collateral, and
all rents, revenues, issues, profits, and proceeds arising from the sale, lease,
license, encumbrance, collection, or any other temporary or permanent
disposition, of any of the Collateral or any interest therein. As used in this
Agreement, "UCC" means the Uniform Commercial Code as the same may, from time to
time, be in effect in the State of Utah; provided, that in the event that, by
reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the attachment, perfection
or priority of, or remedies with respect to, the security interests of Secured
Party on any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted
and in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of Utah, the term "UCC"
shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in effect in such other
jurisdiction solely for purposes of the provisions thereof relating to such
attachment, perfection, priority or remedies and for purposes of definitions
related to such provisions. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms that are
defined in the UCC and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the
UCC.

        4. TITLE; FILING. Company warrants that, (i) Company is the owner of the
Collateral free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances except for
Permitted Liens ("Permitted Liens") set forth on Exhibit A or, (ii) in the case
of after-acquired Collateral, at the time Company acquires rights in the
Collateral, will be the owner thereof, free and clear of all liens, claims and
encumbrances except for Permitted Liens. Company covenants that so long as any
portion of the Obligation remains unpaid, Company will not permit to be filed or
file a financing statement or security agreement covering the Collateral to
anyone other than Secured Party, except with respect to Permitted Liens or as
unanimously approved by Company's board of directors. Company authorizes Secured
Party to file one or more financing statements or supplements thereto or other
instruments as Secured Party may from time to time require to comply with the
Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law to preserve, protect and enforce
the security interest of Secured Party and to pay all costs of filing such
statements or instruments. Company will cooperate with Secured Party in
obtaining control (as defined in the UCC) of Collateral consisting of deposit
accounts, investment property, letter of credit rights and electronic chatter
paper, and will join with Secured Party in notifying any third party who has
possession of any Collateral of Secured Party's security interest therein and
obtaining an acknowledgment from the third party that it is holding the
Collateral for the benefit of Secured Party. Company will not create any chattel
paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Secured Party
indicating that Secured Party has a security interest in the chattel paper.

        5. CARE OF COLLATERAL. Company will keep in effect all material
licenses, permits and franchises required by law or contract relating to
Company's business (if applicable), property, or the Collateral; maintain
insurance on the Collateral; keep the Collateral in good


                                       21
<PAGE>

repair and be responsible for any loss or damage to it; at all times warrant and
defend Company's ownership and possession of the Collateral; keep the Collateral
free from all liens, claims, encumbrances and security interests, other than
Permitted Liens; pay when due all taxes, license fees, and other charges upon
the Collateral or upon Company's business, property or the income therefrom; not
enter into any agreement (including any license or royalty agreement) pertaining
to any of its intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, trademarks,
service marks and trade names, except for non-exclusive licenses in the ordinary
course of business; immediately notify Secured Party if Company holds or
acquires (i) any commercial tort claims, (ii) any chattel paper, including any
interest in any electronic chattel paper, or (iii) any letter-of-credit rights;
and not misuse, conceal or in any way use or dispose of the Collateral
unlawfully or contrary to the provisions of this Security Agreement or of any
insurance coverage in any material respect. Loss of, damage to, or
uncollectability of the Collateral or any part thereof will not release Company
from any of their obligations hereunder.

        6. DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default
("Event of Default") under this Security Agreement:

               (a) DEFAULT IN LOAN AGREEMENT. An Event of Default occurs under
the Loan Agreement;

               (b) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. If any of the representations
and warranties made by Company herein or by Company in the Notes shall be false
or misleading in any material respect when made;

               (c) COVENANTS. If Company shall be in material default under any
of the terms, covenants, conditions, or obligations of this Security Agreement
and such default shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days of Company's
receipt of Secured Party's written notice of default;

               (d) IMPAIRMENT TO LIEN. If at any time the Collateral may be
impaired by any lien, encumbrance or other defect other than the Permitted
Liens, and such lien, encumbrance or defect shall not have been removed within
thirty (30) days of Company's receipt of Secured Party's written notice thereof;
or

               (e) INCONSISTENT TRANSFER. If at any time Company transfers an
interest in any of the Collateral contrary to the provisions hereof without the
prior written consent of Secured Party other than in the ordinary course of
business, and such interest in the Collateral shall not have been retransferred
or restored within thirty (30) days of Company's receipt of Secured Party's
written notice thereof.

        Waiver of any Event of Default will not constitute a waiver of any other
or subsequent Event of Default.

        7. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
continuance of any such default at any time thereafter, Secured Party shall, by
written notice to Company, be entitled to all rights and rights as provided in
the Loan Agreement, including but


                                       22
<PAGE>

not limited to, the remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other
applicable law. Secured Party shall give Debtor such notice of any private or
public sales as may be required by the UCC or other applicable law. Secured
Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent
permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part
of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which
right or equity of redemption Debtor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by
law. For the purpose of enabling Secured Party to exercise its rights and
remedies under this Section 7 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement,
Company hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable, non-exclusive and
assignable license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation
to Company) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property Collateral
after an Event of Default.

        8. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Company agrees to pay on demand all reasonable
costs and expenses of Secured Party, and the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel, in connection with the enforcement of any rights or interests under
this Agreement, including in any out-of-court workout or other refinancing or
restructuring or in any bankruptcy case, and the protection, sale or collection
of, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including all expenses of
taking, collecting, holding, sorting, handling, preparing for sale, selling, or
the like, and other such expenses of sales and collections of Collateral. Any
amounts payable to Secured Party under this Section 8 or otherwise under this
Agreement if not paid upon demand shall bear interest from the date of such
demand until paid in full, at the default rate of interest set forth in the
Notes.

        9. GENERAL. The waiver by Secured Party of any breach of any provision
of this Security Agreement or warranty or representation herein set forth will
not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. The failure to exercise
any right hereunder by Secured Party will not operate as a waiver of such right.
All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative. Company may not assign
its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without Secured Party's written
consent. This Security Agreement may not be altered or amended except by a
writing signed by all the parties hereto. This Security Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Utah,
except as required by mandatory provisions of law and to the extent the validity
or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or the remedies hereunder, in
respect of any Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than
Utah. Any provision hereof found to be invalid will not invalidate the
remainder. All words used herein will be construed to be of such gender and
number as the circumstances require. This Security Agreement binds Company,
Company, its successors and assigns, and inures to the benefit of Secured Party
and their successors and assigns. This Security 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 but one and the same agreement.

        10. NOTICES. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in
writing (including by facsimile transmission or by email) and mailed, sent or
delivered to the respective parties hereto at or to their respective addresses,
