                             SERVICES AND PERSONNEL

                  1.1 SERVICES. During the term of this Agreement, Forest agrees

in exchange for the fees described in Article II. Forest shall perform the
Services in a good and workmanlike manner as would a prudent service provider
under the same or similar circumstances.

                  1.2 OPERATOR SUPPORT SERVICES. From and after November 1,
2006, the Company hereby designates and appoints Forest as its agent and grants

technical support activities with respect to the operation of the Properties.
Specifically, during the term of this Agreement, Forest shall have the power and
authority to undertake the following activities in the name and on behalf of the
Company:
                           (i) open, close and operate bank accounts in the name
of and for the benefit of the Company;

                           (ii) process, record and make payments to working
interest holders, overriding royalty interest owners, royalty owners (including

the U.S. Department of Interior), vendors, suppliers, and other third parties,
including without limitation processing and making payments to third parties in
connection with day-to-day operations and approved capital expenditures;

                           (iii) invoice, collect and deposit in the Company's
bank accounts all amounts received from third parties; and

                           (iv) prepare and maintain accounting books and
records and other financial support information.

                  1.3 BANK ACCOUNTS; LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES. Forest agrees that,
in the course of performing the Services, it shall establish, maintain and
operate separate bank accounts in the name of the Company and deposit in such
bank accounts all funds collected or received on behalf of the Company and the
Properties. Forest shall keep all bank accounts opened or maintained for and on
behalf of the Company free from all liens, security interests and other
encumbrances, other than liens and security interests in favor of creditors of
the Company.

                  1.4 CASH DISBURSEMENTS. As soon as reasonably practicable
after the end of each month during which Forest provides Services under this
Agreement, Forest will prepare a summary showing amounts remitted by Forest on
behalf of the Company in connection with the Alaska Operations and Properties
("cash disbursements") during the preceding month. The Company agrees to pay
Forest an amount representing the total cash disbursements within 30 days
following the receipt of the cash disbursements summary. If the Parties mutually
agree, any remittance under this paragraph may be accomplished by an accounting
entry to an intercompany

                                        2

<page>

account as provided in Section 2, which amount shall bear interest at the rate
described in paragraph 2.3.

                                   ARTICLE II
                          FEES FOR SERVICES AND PAYMENT

                  2.1 FEES. In consideration of the Services performed by Forest
pursuant to this Agreement and of Forest making itself available to perform the
Services, the Company agrees to pay Forest the fees and amounts described in
SCHEDULE B attached hereto (the "Fees").

                  2.2 MONTHLY INVOICES. Each month Forest agrees to prepare an
invoice for the Services provided during the preceding month, which shall be
issued as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the month. Each
invoice shall be for an amount equal to the total Fees for all Services
performed during the preceding month. Fees are intended to cover the value of
the Services provided. All invoices shall be issued and payable in U.S. dollars.
The intercompany billing may be reflected by an intercompany accounting entry
with an offsetting entry to the "intercompany" accounts of Forest and the
Company, so long as mutually agreed upon by the parties.

                  2.3 PAYMENT OF FEES: INTEREST. The Company agrees to pay all
invoices in U.S. dollars within 30 days following the receipt of the monthly
invoice described in paragraph 2.2. Payment of the amounts detailed in invoices
may be made in cash, by offset of intercompany accounts or any combination
thereof. Offsets may be accomplished through electronic entries in the Company's
and Forest's respective company ledgers. Unless otherwise stated, payments or
credits to the intercompany account will be considered to be applied against
outstanding amounts on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) order. Interest shall accrue
at a rate of 12% per annum on the aggregate monthly average amount of
indebtedness, as represented by the intercompany account.

                                   ARTICLE III

twelve months, ending on August 31, 2007, and shall continue in successive three
month terms until terminated in accordance with this Article III; provided that
this Agreement shall automatically terminate without further notice, on the date

Disposition means the sale by Forest Holding of all ownership interests in the
Company or the sale of all or substantially all assets of the Company, or the
sale or other disposition by Forest of all ownership interests in Forest Holding
or the sale of all or substantially all assets of Forest Holding.

                 (b) On termination of this Agreement: (i) all intercompany
amounts payable, including any interest on such amounts, between Forest and the
Company shall become immediately due and payable; (ii) Forest shall ensure the
full and complete transfer of all accrued liabilities and accounts payable that

reasonable costs and expenses, directly related to this Agreement, incurred or
to be incurred by Forest as a result of such termination; plus (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Fees and any other sums otherwise due Forest, through

this Agreement or of the performance of the parties in a manner which is
material and adverse to either party, then such party may, in its sole
discretion, terminate this Agreement immediately in its entirety by giving
written notice to the other party; provided that changes to the Fee structure
shall not be cause for immediate termination. In such cases the parties agree to
modify the Fee structure in a manner to comply with the modifications or
alterations required by any such governmental agency and adjust prior Fees
accordingly.

                 3.4 SURVIVAL UPON TERMINATION. Termination shall not affect any
rights or obligations which have accrued hereunder prior to termination or which
relate to Services performed prior to termination or to the period prior to

obligations under Articles V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX and this paragraph 3.4.

                  9.2 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The parties acknowledge that any
intellectual property right and all books, records, technical, reports, or any
other work product, whether completed or not, prepared or developed by Forest in
the course of or resulting from the performance of any Services for the Company
hereunder, shall vest in and be the property of the Company, which Forest agrees
to turn over to the Company promptly at its request or upon the termination of
this Agreement, whichever is earlier. Forest also agrees to confirm or execute

intellectual property or work product covered by the terms of this Agreement.

                  9.3 AUDITS. Upon five days prior written notice, Forest will

allow the Company reasonable access to Forest personnel and, as warranted,
Forest's independent auditors and reservoir engineers.

                  9.4 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Any waiver, alteration or

be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and Forest and their
respective successors and assigns. No party shall assign this Agreement or its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
party; provided, however that nothing shall prevent the grant by the Company of
a security interest in its rights under this Agreement or the enforcement or
exercise of remedies in connection with such security interest. This Agreement
is not intended to confer any rights or benefits upon any person other than the
parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

                  9.6 GOVERNING LAW. The rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall be governed by, and be construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of Colorado, excluding such laws, rules or decisions of the courts of

agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that all actions or proceedings in any
way arising out of this Agreement shall be litigated in the courts in Denver

applicable laws and regulations. The Company agrees to comply with all
applicable laws and regulation in any jurisdiction in which it conducts

                  9.8 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is ever
determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

                  9.9 ARM'S LENGTH TRANSACTIONS: SEPARATE BOOKS AND RECORDS:
FINANCIAL RECORDS. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the
terms hereof are being entered into on an arm's-length basis, are fair to each
of Forest and the Company and are on terms comparable to similar transactions
between unrelated third persons or unaffiliated parties. Each of the parties
hereto intend that the management, business and affairs of Forest and its other
subsidiaries be conducted in such a manner so that, except with respect to tax
allocation agreements and the filing of state and federal tax returns, Holdings
and the Company will be treated as a separate and distinct entity from Forest
and its other subsidiaries and agree to keep and maintain separate books of
account, separate financial statements and not otherwise commingling their
respective properties.

                  9.10 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement and understanding between the Company and Forest relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
written or oral, relating to such subject matter.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Forest and the Company have caused this Agreement
to be executed in multiple originals by their respective duly authorized
officers.

semi-annual basis a reserve engineering report for its oil and gas properties
prepared on a basis consistent with the reserve engineering reports prepared
under the Alaska First Lien Credit Agreement.

     5.3 Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to
the Holder that on the date hereof:

          (a) The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all
requisite power and authority, and has all material governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals necessary, to own its assets and to carry
on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in, and is in
good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required,
except where failure to have such power, authority, licenses, authorizations,
consents, approvals and qualifications could not reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole;

                                       14

<page>

          (b) The issuance of this Note and the Guaranty are within the
Company's and each Guarantor's corporate or limited liability company powers and
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability
company, and if required, stockholder or member action. This Note has been duly
executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors constitute, a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Company and such Guarantors in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law;

          (c) This Note and the Guaranty (i) do not require any consent or
approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
governmental authority or any other third Person, nor is any such consent,
approval, registration, filing or other action necessary for the validity or
enforceability of this Note or any Guaranty, except such as have been obtained
or made and are in full force and effect or as could not reasonably be expected
to result in a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole, (ii) will not violate any applicable law or regulation that could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the charter, by-laws or other organizational
documents of the Company or any Guarantor and (iii) will not violate any
material provision or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or
other instrument binding upon the Company or any Guarantor; and

          (d) Set forth on Schedule 5.3(d) are the Subsidiaries of the Company
existing on the date hereof. Each Subsidiary listed on Schedule 5.3(d) which is
not a guarantor has a contractual restriction which prevents it from becoming a
Guarantor as of the Issue Date.

ARTICLE 6. GUARANTY

     6.1 Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2
and Article 8, the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantee to the Holder the due and punctual payment in full all
the amounts due hereunder when the same shall become due, whether at stated
maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise
(including all premium, accreted amounts, interest, and amounts that would
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a)) (collectively, the "Guaranteed
Obligations").

     6.2 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among
themselves (collectively, the "Contributing Guarantors"), in a fair and
equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in
the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a
"Funding Guarantor") under this Guaranty that exceeds its Fair Share as of such
date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of
the other Contributing Guarantors in the amount of such other Contributing
Guarantor's Fair Share Shortfall as of such date, with the result

                                       15

<page>

that all such contributions will cause each Contributing Guarantor's Aggregate
Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. "Fair Share" means, with
respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount
equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to
such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution
Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the
aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding
Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. "Fair
Share Shortfall" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date
of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Contributing
Guarantor over the Aggregate Payments of such Contributing Guarantor. "Fair
Share Contribution Amount" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of
any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of
such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its
obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code
or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for
purposes of calculating the "Fair Share Contribution Amount" with respect to any
Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 6.2, any assets or
liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to
subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of
contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such
Contributing Guarantor. "Aggregate Payments" means, with respect to a
Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1)
the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such
date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including,
without limitation, in respect of this Section 6.2), minus (2) the aggregate
amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing
Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this
Section 6.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined
as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the
applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among the Contributing Guarantors
of their obligations as set forth in this Section 6.2 shall not be construed in
any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each
Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth
in this Section 6.2.

     6.3 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 6.2 and Article 8, the
Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right which the Holder may have at law or in
equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the
Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall
become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration,
acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but
for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a)), the Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause
to be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Holder, an amount equal to
the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as
aforesaid, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations
(including interest which, but for the Company's becoming the subject of a case
under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations,
whether or

                                       16

<page>

not a claim is allowed against the Company for such interest in the related
bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Holder as
aforesaid.

     6.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that, subject
to Article 8, its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which
constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing
and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

          (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of
collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not
merely a contract of surety;

          (b) subject to Article 8, the Holder may enforce this Guaranty upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any
dispute between the Company and the Holder with respect to the existence of such
Event of Default;

          (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the
obligations of the Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including
any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Company, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any
action is brought against the Company or any of such other guarantors and
whether or not the Company is joined in any such action or actions;

          (d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any
Guarantor's liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has
not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Holder
is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor's covenant to
pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed
to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not,
except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or
abridge any other Guarantor's liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

          (e) the Holder, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without
notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or
giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination
of any Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) with the
written agreement of the Company, renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate
of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment
of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or
accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for,
the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or subordinate the
payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and
accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security
for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender,

                                       17

<page>

exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or
modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or
any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect
to the Guaranteed Obligations; and (v) enforce and apply any security now or
hereafter held by or for the benefit of the Holder in respect hereof or the
Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or
exercise any other right or remedy that the Holder may have against any such
security, in each case as the Holder in its discretion may determine consistent
herewith; and

          (f) this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder
shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any
of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or
knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or
agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by
order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement
of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under
this Note, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other
guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any
rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure
from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of
default) hereof or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of
any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case
whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or any agreement relating to
such other guaranty or security; (iii) the application of payments received from
any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations,
even though the Holder might have elected to apply such payment to any part or
all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) the Holder's consent to the change,
reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the
Guaranteed Obligations; and (v) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to
do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent
vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

     6.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of
the Holder: (a) any right to require the Holder, as a condition of payment or
performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Company, any other
guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the
Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, or (iii) pursue any other
remedy in the power of the Holder whatsoever; (b) any defense based upon any
statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be
neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the
principal; (c) any defense based upon the Holder's errors or omissions in the
administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to
bad faith; (d)(i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise,
which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or
equitable discharge of such

                                       18

<page>

Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of
limitations affecting such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement
hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv)
promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Holder protect, secure,
perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto;
(e) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof,
notices of default hereunder, or any agreement or instrument related thereto,
notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the
Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 6.4 and any
right to consent to any thereof; and (f) any defenses or benefits that may be
derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate
guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

     6.7 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall
remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in
full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty
as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

     6.8 Authority of Guarantors or the Company. It is not necessary for the
Holder to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the Company or
the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of
any of them.

     6.9 Financial Condition of the Company. The Holder shall not have any
obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any
Guarantor's assessment, of the financial condition of the Company. Each
Guarantor acknowledges that it has adequate means to obtain information from the
Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Company
and its ability to perform its obligations under this Note and any other
Indebtedness, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and
keeping informed of the financial condition of the Company and of all
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of the Holder
to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or
conditions of the Company now known or hereafter known by the Holder.

     6.10 Bankruptcy, etc.

     (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor
shall, without the prior written consent of the Holder, commence or join with
any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case
or proceeding of or against the Company or any other Guarantor. The obligations
of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged,
deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or
involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization,
liquidation or arrangement of the Company or any other Guarantor or by any
defense which the Company or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the
order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any
such proceeding.

                                       19

<page>

     (b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion
of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case
or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of
the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the
commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on
such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not
been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is
the intention of the Guarantors and the Holder that the Guaranteed Obligations
which are guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined
without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Company of any
portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors will permit any trustee
in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors or similar Person to pay the Holder, or allow the claim of the Holder
in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or
proceeding is commenced.

     (c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are
paid by the Company, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall continue
and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the
event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered
directly or indirectly from the Holder as a preference, fraudulent transfer or
otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall
constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

     6.11 California Waivers. The Guarantors hereby waive and agree not to
assert or take advantage of:

     (a) any suretyship defenses and suretyship rights of every nature otherwise
available under California law and the laws of any other state, including,
without limitation, all defenses and rights arising under Sections 2787 through
2855 (the "Suretyship Provisions") of the California Civil Code (the "Civil
Code") and any successor provisions to those Sections. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby acknowledges its
understanding that the Suretyship Provisions provide various partial or complete
defenses to the recovery by the Holder from such Guarantor and/or grant such
Guarantor rights the enforcement of which could reduce or eliminate entirely
such Guarantor's liability hereunder to the Holder. Among the defenses and
rights contained in the Suretyship Provisions are the following:

          (i) Section 2809 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that the
     obligation of a surety must not be either larger in amount or in other
     respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

          (ii) Section 2810 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a
     surety is not liable if for any reason other than the mere personal
     disability of the principal there is no liability upon the part of the
     principal at the time of execution of the contract, or the liability of the
     principal thereafter ceases;

                                       20

<page>

          (iii) Section 2819 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a
     surety is exonerated if the creditor alters the original obligation of the
     principal without the consent of the surety;

          (iv) Section 2845 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a
     surety is exonerated to the extent that the creditor fails to proceed
     against the principal, or to pursue any other remedy in the creditor's
     power which the surety cannot pursue and which would lighten the surety's
     burden;

          (v) Section 2846 of the Civil Code, which provides that a surety may
     compel his principal to perform the obligation when due;

          (vi) Section 2847 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that if
     a surety satisfies the principal obligation, or any part thereof, the
     principal is obligated to reimburse the surety for the amounts paid by the
     surety;

          (vii) Section 2848 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a
     surety, upon satisfaction of the obligation of the principal is entitled to
     enforce remedies which the creditor then has against the principal;

          (viii) Section 2849 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that a
     surety is entitled to the benefit of security held by the creditor for the
     performance of the principal obligation held by the creditor;

          (ix) Section 2850 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, that
     whenever the property of a surety is hypothecated with property of the
     principal, the surety is entitled to have the property of the principal
     first applied to the discharge of the obligation; and

          (x) Section 2822 of the Civil Code, which provides, in part, for a
     right to have the principal designate the portion of any obligation to be
     satisfied by the surety in the event that the principal provides partial
     satisfaction of such obligation.

     (b) all rights and defenses that any Guarantor may have because the
Company's debt is secured by real property. This means among other things:

          (i) the Holder may collect from any Guarantor without first
     foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the
     Company.

          (ii) If the Holder forecloses on any real property collateral pledged
     by the Company:

               (A) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for
          which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the
          collateral is worth more than the sale price.

                                       21

<page>

               (B) The Holder may collect from any Guarantor even if the Holder,
          by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any
          right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Company.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any
Guarantor may have because the Company's debt is secured by real property. These
rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses
based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure.

     (c) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the
Holder, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure
with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the
Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the
operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

This Section 6.11 is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall
not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of
California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations.

ARTICLE 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

     7.1 If any of the events specified in this Article 7 shall occur (herein
individually referred to as an "Event of Default"), the Holder may, so long as
such condition exists, declare the entire Accreted Value immediately due and
payable, by notice in writing to the Company; provided, however, that the Holder
shall not be permitted to accelerate payment on this Note for a 30-day period
after notice of such Event of Default is provided to the Senior Indebtedness
Parties unless all Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full in
cash; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note shall
automatically accelerate upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under
clauses (d) or (e):

          (a) Default in the payment of the principal of, Accreted Value or
interest on this Note when due and payable; or

          (b) Any representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf
of the Company or any Guarantor Section 5.3 hereof shall prove to have been
incorrect when made or deemed made and could reasonably be expected to result in
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations; provided, however, that such default shall cease to exist
if facts, circumstances or conditions that gave rise to the inaccuracy of the
representation and warranty are remedied within 30 days of notice thereof from
Holder to the Company in a manner such that either the representation or
warranty would be true if made at the time or cure or could no longer be
reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations; or

          (c) The Company or any Guarantor shall fail to observe or perform any
covenant, condition or agreement contained in Article 4 or Section 5.1 or 5.2
and

                                       22

<page>

such default shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after notice
thereof from the Holder to the Company; or

          (d) The Company or any Guarantor suffers the entry against it of a
judgment, decree or order for relief by a Governmental Authority of competent
jurisdiction in an involuntary proceeding commenced under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter
in effect, including the Bankruptcy Code, as from time to time amended, or has
any such proceeding commenced against it which remains undismissed for a period
of sixty (60) days; or

          (e) The Company or any Guarantor commences a voluntary case under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law now or hereafter in effect,
including the Bankruptcy Code, as from time to time amended; or applies for or
consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any
such Law; or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or fails
generally to pay (or admits in writing its inability to pay) its debts as such
debts become due; or takes corporate or other action to authorize any of the
foregoing; or

          (f) The Company or any Guarantor shall fail to make any payment
(whether of principal or interest) in respect of any Senior Indebtedness where
the aggregate principal amount (inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest then
due and owing) of such Senior Indebtedness is in excess of $30,000,000, when and
as the same shall become due and payable, and such failure shall continue
unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (it being agreed that any waiver,
forbearance or similar arrangement from the Senior Indebtedness Parties with
respect to such failure shall toll such 30-day period for the duration of any
such waiver, forbearance or similar arrangement); or

          (g) any event or condition occurs that results in any Senior
Indebtedness where the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Indebtedness is
in excess of $30,000,000 becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or to
require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to
its scheduled maturity and such acceleration shall continue without rescission
for a period of thirty (30) days (it being agreed that any waiver, forbearance
or similar arrangement from the Senior Indebtedness Parties with respect to such
acceleration shall toll such 30-day period for the duration of any such waiver,
forbearance or similar arrangement); provided that this clause (g) shall not
apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale
or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness; or

          (h) The Guaranty shall for any reason shall cease to be in full force
and effect (other than in accordance with the terms herein), or any Guarantor
shall deny in writing that it has any liability under the Guaranty (other than
as a result of the discharge of such Guarantor in accordance with the terms
herein).

Subject to Article 8, upon any acceleration, the Accreted Value, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest from and after the Maturity Date, shall become
due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company and each
Guarantor.

                                       23

<page>

The Company shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Holder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Holder in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Note and/or incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of this Note.

ARTICLE 8. SUBORDINATION.

     8.1 Subordination. This Note shall be issued subject to the provisions of
this Article 8; and the Holder accepts and agrees that all payments of the
principal of, Accreted Value and interest on (and other obligations, if any,
with respect to) this Note by the Company, and all payments in respect of the

obligations due in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest
accruing after, or which would accrue but for, the commencement of any
proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness, whether
or not a claim for such interest would be allowed), or have provision made for
such payment in a manner acceptable to Senior Indebtedness Parties, before the
Holder shall be entitled to receive any payment by or on behalf of the Company

other obligations, if any, with respect to) this Note, or any payment by the
Company or any Guarantor to acquire any of this Note for cash, property or

claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting this
Note) as the Senior Indebtedness Parties may reasonably deem necessary or
advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of
the Senior Indebtedness Parties hereunder; provided, that in the event the
Senior Indebtedness Parties take such action, such holders shall apply the

Indebtedness; second, to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata on the
basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders);
third, to the payment of the costs of enforcement of this Note, and fourth, to
the payment of this Note in a manner consistent with the terms hereof.

Senior Indebtedness Parties may reasonably request (A) to collect to this Note
for the account of the Senior Indebtedness Parties and to file appropriate
claims or proofs of claim in respect of this Note, (B) to execute and deliver to
any Senior Indebtedness Parties such powers of attorney, assignments, or other
instruments as such Senior Indebtedness Parties may reasonably request to enable

          (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provision
prohibiting such payment or distribution, any payment or distribution of assets
or securities of the Company and the Guarantors of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Holder at a
time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by Section 8.2 and before
all obligations in respect of Senior Indebtedness are indefeasibly paid in full
in cash (or such payment shall be duly provided for in a manner satisfactory to
the Senior Indebtedness Parties) or otherwise to the extent the Senior
Indebtedness Parties in their sole discretion accept satisfaction of amounts due
by settlement in other than cash, such payment or distribution shall be received
and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the
respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their
respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees or agent or agents
under any indenture or agreement pursuant to which any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued or incurred, as their respective interests may
appear, for application to the payment of Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid
until all such Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash
(or such payment shall be duly provided for in a manner satisfactory to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness) or otherwise to the extent holders of Senior
Indebtedness in their sole discretion accept satisfaction of amounts due by
settlement in other than cash after giving effect to any prior or concurrent
payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the Senior Indebtedness
Parties.

          (d) Upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash (or such payment
shall be duly provided for in a manner satisfactory to the Senior Indebtedness
Parties) or otherwise to the extent the Senior Indebtedness Parties in their
sole discretion accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than
cash of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Senior Indebtedness Parties to receive payments or distributions of cash,
cash equivalents, property or securities of the Company and the Guarantors made
on such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash or this Note is
no longer outstanding; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to the Senior Indebtedness Parties of any cash, cash equivalents,
property or securities to which the Holder would be entitled except for the
provisions of this Article 8, and no payment pursuant to the provisions of this
Article 8 to the Senior Indebtedness Parties by the Holder shall, as between the
Company, the Guarantors, its creditors other the Senior Indebtedness Parties,
and the Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Company or any Guarantor to or
on account of the Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of
this Article 8 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Indebtedness
Parties, on the other hand.

          (e) If any payment or distribution to which the Holder would otherwise
have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article 8 shall have been
applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8, to the payment of all
amounts payable under Senior Indebtedness, then and in such case, the Holder
shall be entitled to receive from the Senior Indebtedness Parties any payments
or distributions received by such Senior Indebtedness Parties in excess of the
amount required to make payment in

                                       26

<page>

full in cash of such Senior Indebtedness (or to duly provide for such payment in
a manner satisfactory to the Senior Indebtedness Parties) or otherwise to the
extent the Senior Indebtedness Parties in their sole discretion accept
satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash.

          (f) All Senior Indebtedness Parties are hereby authorized to demand
specific performance of this Article 8, in the event the Company or the Holder
have not complied with any of the provisions hereof applicable to them. The
Holder and the Company hereby irrevocably waive any defense (other than the
defense of indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness)
based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to
such remedy of specific performance.

          (g) To the extent that the Company or any Guarantor makes a payment on
the Senior Indebtedness that is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential or set aside or is required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization act, state or federal law, common law or equitable clause,
including, without limitation in any proceeding referred to in clause (a) of
this Section 8.3 (such payment being hereafter referred to as a "Voided
Payment"), then to the extent of such Voided Payment, that portion of the Senior
Indebtedness that had previously been satisfied by such Voided Payment shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such Voided Payment had
never been made. To the extent that the Holder received any payments with
respect to this Note subsequent to the date of the any Senior Indebtedness
holder's receipt of such Voided Payment and such payments received by the Holder
have not been invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set
aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party
under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause,
the Holder shall be obligated and hereby agrees that any such payment so made or
received shall be deemed to have been received in trust for the benefit of the
Senior Indebtedness Parties, upon demand, the full amount so received by the
Holder to the extent necessary to fully restore to the Senior Indebtedness
Parties that amount of such Voided Payment.

     8.4 Obligations Of The Company Unconditional. Nothing contained in this
Article 8 is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, the Guarantors
and the Holder, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holder the principal of, Accreted
Value of, premium, or interest on this Note as and when the same shall become
due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall
affect the relative rights of the Holder and creditors of the Company other than
the Senior Indebtedness Parties, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent
the Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law
upon default under this Note, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article
8 of the Senior Indebtedness Parties in respect of cash, cash equivalents,
property or securities of the Company and the Guarantors received upon the
exercise of any such remedy.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Article 8 shall restrict the right of the Holder to take any action to
declare this Note to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity pursuant to
Section 7.1 or to pursue any rights

                                       27

<page>

or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that all Senior Indebtedness shall
first be indefeasibly paid in full in cash, or have provision made for such
payment in a manner satisfactory to the Senior Indebtedness Parties, before the
Holder is entitled to receive any direct or indirect payment from the Company or
the Guarantors of principal of, Accreted Value of, interest on (and other
obligations, if any, with respect to) this Note.

     8.5 Subordination Rights Not Impaired By Acts Or Omissions Of The Company
Or Holders Of Senior Indebtedness. No right of any present or future Senior
Indebtedness Parties to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any
time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by, and all agreements and obligations
of the Holder and the Company hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of:

          (a) any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act
or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by
the Company with the terms of this Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof
which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

          (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any document evidencing
Senior Indebtedness;

          (c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or any
other term of, all or any of the Senor Indebtedness, or any other amendment or
waiver of any consent to departure from any of the documents evidencing or
relating to the Senior Indebtedness;

          (d) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any collateral, or
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or
other document for all or any of the Senior Indebtedness;

          (e) any failure of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to assert any
claim or to enforce any right or remedy against any other party hereto under the
provisions of any document evidencing or relating to any Senior Indebtedness;

          (f) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Senior
Indebtedness for any reason (other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of
all Senior Indebtedness), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the Company and the
Holder hereby waive any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of invalidity,
illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or
any other event or occurrence affecting, any Senior Indebtedness; and

          (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
(other than the defense of indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior
Indebtedness) available to, or a discharge of, the Company in respect of any
Senior Indebtedness or the Holder hereunder.

                                       28

<page>

The provisions of this Article 8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and
shall be enforceable directly by, any Senior Indebtedness Party.

     8.6 This Article Not To Prevent Events Of Default. The failure to make a
payment on account of principal of, Accreted Value of, premium, or interest on
this Note by reason of any provision of this Article 8 shall not be construed as
preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (a) of
Section 7.1.

     8.7 No Waiver Of Subordination Provisions. Without in any way limiting the
generality of Section 8.5, the Senior Indebtedness Parties may, at any time and
from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holder, without
incurring responsibility to the Holder and without impairing or releasing the
subordination provided in this Article 8 or the obligations hereunder of the
Holder to the Senior Indebtedness Parties, do any one or more of the following:
(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or amend the time of payment
of, or renew, alter or amend, any Senior Indebtedness or any instrument
evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is
outstanding or secured; (b) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any
property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (c)

any of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, as security
for this Note.

     8.9 Enforcement. The Holder shall not, while any Blockage Period is
continuing, take or continue any action or exercise or continue to exercise any
rights, remedies or powers under the terms of this Note or take any action to
collect all or any portion of the amounts due hereunder or to accelerate payment
thereof, either at law or in equity; provided the foregoing shall not prevent
any action required by the Holder to prevent a discharge of the obligations
evidenced by this Note (except that the Holder shall not take action to prevent
payment to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the
provisions of this Article 8) and shall not prevent the filing of claims on
account of this Note or its automatic acceleration following an insolvency
event. In addition, regardless of whether or not a Blockage Period is
continuing, the Holder shall provide all Senior Indebtedness Parties with not
less than thirty (30) days' written notice prior to accelerating this Note,
provided the foregoing shall not apply to the automatic acceleration of this
Note following an insolvency event.
