payment of all other indebtedness and the performance of all other obligations
of Debtors to Secured Party of every type and description, whether now existing

unliquidated, regardless of how they arise or by what agreement or instrument
they may be evidenced, including, without limitation, all loans, advances and
other extensions of credit and all covenants, agreements, and provisions
contained in all loan and other agreements between the parties.

      SECTION 5.  Default.  The breach of or failure to pay or perform any of
the Obligations secured hereby in accordance with their respective terms, which
breach or failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, the breach of or
failure to perform or observe any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement contained in this Security Agreement or the existence of any Event of
Default under the MLA shall constitute a "Default" hereunder; provided that any
breach of the terms of this Security Agreement which shall also constitute a
breach of the MLA shall be subject to the same notice and cure right applicable
to such breach under the MLA.  Once a Default exists, it shall be deemed to
continue, notwithstanding any curative action by Debtors, unless and until
Secured Party, in its sole discretion, shall state in writing that the Default
no longer exists or has been cured.

      SECTION 6.  Rights and Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of any Default
hereunder, Secured Party may declare all Obligations to be immediately due and
payable and proceed against Debtors directly for payment, and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, may exercise any and all rights and remedies of a
secured party in the enforcement of its security interest under the UCC, this
Security Agreement, or any other Applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing:

      (A)  Disposition of Collateral.  Secured Party may sell, lease, or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, in its then condition or
following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing thereof, whether
by public, judicial or private sale or at any brokers' board, in lots or in
bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise, with or without representations or
warranties, and upon such other terms as may be acceptable to Secured Party, and
Secured Party may purchase such Collateral at any public or judicial sale, if
such Collateral is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market or is of a
type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at
any private sale. To the extent permitted by law, Debtors hereby specifically
waive all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which they have or may have
under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. At any time when advance notice
of sale is required, Debtors agree that twenty (20) days' prior written notice
shall be reasonable. In connection with the foregoing, Secured Party may:

            (1)  require Debtors to assemble the Collateral and all records
pertaining thereto and make such Collateral and records available to Secured
Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably

and transferees of Secured Party and their respective successors,

            (5)  rely conclusively upon the advice or instructions of any one or
more brokers or other experts selected by Secured Party to determine the method
or manner of disposition of any of the Collateral and, in such event, any
disposition of the Collateral by Secured Party in accordance with such advice or
instructions shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable; and

            (6)  compromise and settle or sell, assign or transfer or ask,
collect, receive or issue any and all claims possessed by Debtors which
constitute a portion of the Collateral, all in the name of Debtors.

      (B)  Collection of Receivables.  Secured Party may, but shall not be
obligated to, take all actions reasonable or necessary to preserve, enforce or
collect the Receivables, including, without limitation, the right to notify
account debtors and obligors on instruments to make direct payment to Secured
Party, to permit any extension, compromise or settlement of any of the
Receivables for less than face value, or to sue on any Receivable, all without
prior notice to Debtors.

      (C)  Proceeds.  Secured Party may collect and apply all proceeds of the
Collateral, and may endorse the name of any Debtor in favor of Secured Party on
any and all checks, drafts, money orders, notes, acceptances, or other
instruments of the same or a different nature, constituting, evidencing, or

      (D)  Insurance Adjustments.  Secured Party may adjust, settle, and cancel

legal expenses incurred by the Secured Party, to the extent not prohibited by
law to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in the manner provided
in the MLA. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended
to be exhaustive, and the exercise of any right or remedy or both shall not

      SECTION 7.  State Regulatory Matters.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Security Agreement:

      (A)  Any foreclosure on, sale, transfer or other disposition of, or the
exercise or relinquishment of any right to vote or consent with respect to, any
of the Collateral by Secured Party shall, to the extent required, be in
conformance with Sections 214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

     (B)  If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtors shall take
any action which Secured Party may reasonably request in order to transfer or
assign, or both, to Secured Party, or to such one or more third parties as
Secured Party may designate, or to a combination of the foregoing, any PUC
license, permit, certificate or other authorization held by Debtors, subject to
the prior approval of any PUC, if required. Alternatively, Secured Party is
empowered, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to request the appointment
of a receiver from any court of competent jurisdiction. Such receiver may be
instructed by Secured Party to seek from any PUC consent to an involuntary
transfer of control of Debtors or assignment, or both, of each PUC license,
permit, certificate or other authorization for the purpose of seeking a bona
fide purchaser to whom control of assets used in the provision of
telecommunications or related services will ultimately be transferred or
assigned. Debtors hereby agree to authorize such an involuntary transfer of
control or assignment, or both, upon the request of the receiver so appointed
and, if Debtors shall refuse to authorize the transfer, their approval may be
required by the court. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default, Debtors shall further use its best efforts to assist in obtaining
approval of any PUC and any other state regulatory bodies, if required, for any
action or transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement, including,
without limitation, the preparation, execution and filing with any PUC and any
other state regulatory bodies of the assignor's or transferor's portion of any
application or applications for consent to the assignment of any PUC license or
permit or transfer of control necessary or appropriate under the rules and
regulations of any PUC or any other state regulatory body for approval or non-
opposition of the transfer or assignment of any portion of the Collateral,
together with any PUC license, permit, certificate or other authorization.

      (C)  Debtors acknowledge that the assignment or transfer of each PUC
license, permit, certificate or other authorization (subject to the prior
approval of any PUC, if required) is integral to Secured Party's realization of
the value of the Collateral, that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure
by Debtors to comply with the provisions of this Section 7 and that such failure
would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees, without
limiting the right of Secured Party to seek and obtain specific performance of
other obligations of Debtors contained in this Security Agreement, that the
agreements contained in this Section 7 may be specifically enforced.

      SECTION 8.  Other Provisions.

      (A)  Amendment and Waiver.  Without the prior written consent of Secured

Loan No. ML0883T1

Secured Party to exercise any remedy hereunder shall be deemed a waiver thereof
or of any other remedy hereunder. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to or waiver of any remedy on any subsequent occasion.

      (B)  Costs and Attorneys' Fees.  Except as prohibited by law, if at any
time Secured Party employs counsel in connection with the creation, perfection,
preservation, or release of the security interest of Secured Party in the
Collateral or the enforcement of any of Secured Party's rights or remedies
hereunder, all of Secured Party's reasonable attorneys' fees arising from such
services and all other reasonable expenses, costs, or charges relating thereto
shall become part of the Obligations secured hereby and be paid by Debtors on
demand.

      (C)  No Obligation to Make Loans.  Nothing contained herein or in any
financing statement or other collateral document executed or filed in connection
herewith shall be construed to obligate Secured Party to make any loan or
advance to Debtors, whether pursuant to a commitment or otherwise.

      (D)  Performance by Secured Party.  Upon the occurrence of a Default
hereunder, Secured Party may, at its option and without notice to or demand upon
Debtors, without obligation and without waiving or diminishing any of its other
rights or remedies hereunder, fully perform or discharge any of such duties. All
costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith, together
with interest thereon at 4% per annum in excess of the highest interest rate
applicable to any loan or advance secured hereby, shall become part of the
Obligations secured hereby and be paid by Debtors upon demand.

      (E)  Indemnification, Etc.  Debtors hereby expressly indemnify and hold
Secured Party harmless from any and all claims, causes of action, or other
proceedings, and from any and all liability, loss, damage, and expense of every
nature, arising by reason of Secured Party's enforcement of its rights and
remedies hereunder, or by reason of Debtors' failure to comply with any
environmental or other law or regulation, other than any such claim, cause of
action or other proceeding, liability, loss, damage or expense arising by reason
of gross negligence, willful misconduct or violation of law on the part of
Secured Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Secured Party under
any account for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any
account, Debtors will save, indemnify and keep Secured Party harmless from and
against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set off,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account
debtor or any other obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Debtors of
any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or
liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or
its successors from Debtors (except to the extent any such expense, loss or
damage results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured
Party). The obligations of Debtors under this Section 8(E) shall survive the
termination of the other provisions of this Security Agreement.

      (F)  Power of Attorney.  Debtors hereby constitute and appoint Secured
Party or Secured Party's designee during the term of any Obligations secured by
this Security Agreement as its attorney-in-fact, effective upon the occurrence
of a Default, which appointment is an irrevocable, durable agency, coupled with
an interest, with full power of substitution. This

Security Agreement/Globe/Interstate/Valley
Loan No. ML0883T1

power of attorney and mandate is for the purpose of taking, whether in the name
of Debtor or in the name of Secured Party, any action which Debtors are
obligated to perform hereunder or which Secured Party may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement. The powers
conferred upon Secured Party in this Section are solely to protect its interest
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise
any such powers. Secured Party shall exercise its power of attorney only upon
occurrence of a Default.

      (G)  Continuing Effect.  This Security Agreement, the security interest of
Secured Party, in the Collateral, and all other documents or instruments
contemplated hereby shall continue in full force and effect until all of the
Obligations have been satisfied in full and each of the MLA, First Supplement
and the Note have been terminated in accordance with its respective terms.

      (H)  Binding Effect.  This Security Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors and assigns (as
permitted by the MLA), and in the event of an assignment of all or any of the
Obligations, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness
so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Security Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Debtors and their successors
and assigns; provided, that Debtors may not assign any of their rights or
             --------
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

      (I)  Security Agreement as Financing Statement.  A photographic copy or
other reproduction of this Security Agreement may be used as a financing
statement.

      (J)  Governing Law.  Except to the extent governed by applicable federal
law, this Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Colorado without reference to choice of law
doctrine.

      (K)  Notices.  All notices hereunder shall be delivered in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 14 of the MLA.

      (L)  Severability.  The determination that any term or provision of this
Security Agreement is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the
enforceability or validity of any other term or provision hereof.

      (M)  Entire Agreement.  This Security Agreement, together with all
documents referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement between Debtors
and Secured Party with respect to the matters addressed herein.

      (N)  Changes in Applicable Law.  The parties acknowledge their intent
that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, Secured
Party shall receive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and
government policy (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and
policies of the FCC or any PUC), all rights necessary or desirable to obtain,
use or sell the Collateral and to exercise all remedies available to it under
this Security Agreement, the UCC as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction or
other applicable law. The

                                       11
<PAGE>

Security Agreement/Globe/Interstate/Valley
Loan No. ML0883T1

parties further acknowledge and agree that, in the event of changes in the law
or governmental law occurring subsequent to the date hereof that affect in any
manner Secured Party's rights of access to, or use or sale of, the Collateral,
or the procedures necessary to enable Secured Party to obtain such rights of
access, use or sale, Secured Party and Debtors shall amend this Security
Agreement in such manner as Secured Party shall reasonably request in order to
provide Secured Party such rights to the greatest extent possible consistent
with applicable law and governmental policy.

      (O)  Termination; Reinstatement.  This Security Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect until (i) Secured Party has no further commitment or
obligation to make advances to be secured hereby with respect to the
Obligations, (ii) all Obligations have been paid in full and (iii) Secured Party
has executed and delivered a written statement of termination. To the extent
Debtors or any third party makes a payment or payments to Secured Party or
Secured Party enforces its security interest or exercises any right of set off,
and such payment or payments or the proceeds thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required
to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other law or in equity, or any combination of the foregoing, then,
to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or any part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect, and this Security Agreement, if earlier terminated, shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect, as if such payment or payments had not been
made, or such enforcement or set off had not occurred.

      (P)  Marshaling; Secured Party's Duties.  Secured Party shall not be
required to marshal any present or future security for (including but not
limited to this Security Agreement and the Collateral subject to the security
interest created hereby), or guarantees of, the Obligations or any of them, or
to resort to such security or guarantees in any particular order; and all of its
rights hereunder and in respect of such securities and guaranties shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To
the extent that it lawfully may, Debtors hereby agree that they will not invoke
any law relating to the marshaling of collateral, and to the extent that it
lawfully may do so Debtors hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such
laws. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, Secured Party shall have
no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income
thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to
the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the sole custody
thereof.

      SECTION 9.  Revised Article 9.  The parties to this Security Agreement
acknowledge and agree to the following provisions of this Security Agreement in
anticipation of the possible application, in one or more jurisdictions to the
transactions contemplated hereby, of Revised Article 9.  For purposes of this
Security Agreement, "Revised Article 9" shall mean the Revised Article 9 of the
UCC in the form or substantially in the form included in the 1999 official text
of the UCC as approved by the American Law Institute and the National Conference
of Commissioners on Uniform State Law.

      (A)  In applying the law of any jurisdiction in which Revised Article 9
is in effect, the Collateral is all assets of Debtors whether or not within the
scope of Revised Article 9 including, without limitation, the following
categories of assets as defined in Revised Article 9: goods

                                       12

Loan No. ML0883T1

(including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments
(including promissory notes), documents, accounts (including health-care-
insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit
accounts, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is
evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities and all other
investment property, general intangibles (including payment intangibles and
software), supporting obligations and any and all proceeds of any thereof,
wherever located, whether now owned and hereafter acquired. If Debtors shall at
any time, whether or not Revised Article 9 is in effect in any particular
jurisdiction, acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in Revised Article 9,
Debtors shall immediately notify Secured Party in a writing signed by Debtors of
the brief details thereof and grant to Secured Party in such writing a security
interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this
Security Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Secured Party.

      (B)  Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, pursuant to the
provisions of Section 4(D), file financing statements, continuation statements
and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral as all assets of Debtors or
words of similar effect and which contain any other information required by
Revised Article 9 (including Part 5 thereof) for the sufficiency or filing
office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or
amendment, including whether Debtors are an organization, the type of
organization and any organization identification number issued to Debtors.
Debtors agree to furnish any such information to Secured Party promptly upon
request. Any such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments
may be signed by Secured Party on behalf of Debtors and may be filed at any time
in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised Article 9 is then in effect in that
jurisdiction.

      (C)  Debtors shall, at any time and from time to time, whether or not
Revised Article 9 is in effect in any particular jurisdiction, take such steps
as Secured Party may reasonably request for Secured Party (i) to obtain an
acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party,
of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral that such bailee holds
such Collateral for Secured Party, (ii) to obtain "control" of any investment
property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper
(as such terms are defined in Revised Article 9 with corresponding provisions in
revised Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 (or such other corresponding
section) relating to what constitutes "control" for such items of Collateral),
with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Secured Party, and (iii) otherwise to insure the continued
perfection and priority of Secured Party's security interest in any of the
Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein, whether in
anticipation of or following the effectiveness of Revised Article 9 in any
jurisdiction.

      (D)  Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to narrow the
scope of Secured Party's security interest in any of the Collateral or the
perfection or priority thereof or to impair or otherwise limit any of the
rights, powers, privileges or remedies of Secured Party hereunder except (and
then only to the extent) mandated by Revised Article 9 to the extent then
applicable.
