SANTA FE GOLD CORPORATION

WARRANT

	Warrant No. [ ] 	Dated: __________, 200_ 

     Santa Fe Gold Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value
received, Sulane Holdings Ltd. or its registered assigns (the “Holder”),
is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [ ]1 shares
of common stock, $0.002 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the
Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the
“Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share (as
adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 8, the “Exercise
Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after July 1, 2010 (the
“Vesting Date”) and through and including December 31, 2014 (the “Expiration
Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant
(“Warrant”) is one of a series of similar Warrants issued pursuant to
those pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 15,
2007 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and between Maker
and Holder relating to the sale by the Company of 7% Senior Secured Convertible
Debentures (the “Debentures”) and the Warrants. In addition to the terms
defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase
Agreement.

     1. Registration of
Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be
maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in
the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the
purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all
other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

     2. Registration of
Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this
Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form
of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent
or to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or
transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of
this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the
portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a
New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred,
if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New
Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such
transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

____________________________
1 Obligation to
purchase Warrants is set forth in the Funding Schedule to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated December 21, 2007, between the Company and Holder.
Number of Warrant Shares and Exercise Price subject to adjustment on the basis
provided in Section 8 hereof for events occurring after the date of the
Securities Purchase Agreement and prior to the date of issuance.

     3.     
Exercise and Duration of Warrants.

          (a)     
This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from
time to time on or after the Vesting Date, provided that Holder has complied
with all of its purchase obligations as set forth in the Funding Schedule to the
Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Funding
Obligations”), to and including the Expiration Date. At (a) 6:30 P.M.,
New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not
exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value. If Holder
fails to comply with all its Funding Obligations, then within thirty (30) days
after the date of such failure, the portion of the Warrant issued to Holder
previous to the date of such failure shall be cancelled and the Warrant in its
entirety shall become void and of no value. 

          (b)     
A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise
notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”),
appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price
for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised.
The date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance
with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder
shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an
exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the
same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New
Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant
Shares.

     4.     
Delivery of Warrant Shares.

          (a)     
Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later
than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and
cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such
name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration
statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a
selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are
not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to
receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such
Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon request of the
Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically
through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing
corporation performing similar functions.

          (b)     
Subject to Section 3 above, this Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety
or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon
surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the
right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

          (c)     
In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to
deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Warrant Shares by the third
Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such certificate is required by
this Warrant, and if after such third Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder
anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s
discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the
Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common
Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the
Holder a 

2

certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and
pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In
Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B)
the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s
obligation to deliver such certificate.

          (d)     
The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with
the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or
inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect
to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any
action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation
or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other
Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of
law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other
circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the
Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall
limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder,
at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to
timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

     5.     
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer
agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any
certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the
Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other
tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant
or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

     6.     
Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.

     7.     
Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all
times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8). The Company
covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon
issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the
terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and
nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to
assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock
may be listed.

     8.     
Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 8.

3

          (a)     
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or
otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.

          (b)     
Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, distributes to holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its
indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock
covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed
Property”), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to
equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the
denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days
immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the
numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the
Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common
Stock, as determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants
that regularly examine the financial statements of the Company, (an
“Appraiser”). In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the
determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional
appraiser (which shall be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which
case such fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values
determined by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the
foregoing adjustment to the Exercise Price, at the request of the Holder
delivered before the 90th day after such record date, the Company will deliver
to such Holder, within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on
the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such
Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for
which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such record
date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the
preceding sentence, then upon expiration of or any exercise of the Warrant that
occurs after such record date, such Holder shall remain entitled to receive, in
addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if
applicable), such Distributed Property.

          (c)     
Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to
tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv)
the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a
subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 8(a)
above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder
shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the
same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been
entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it
had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the
number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant
(the “Alternate Consideration”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this
Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the
Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise 

4

Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the
successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the
Holder a written agreement providing that:

     (x)     
this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate
Consideration in accordance with this section 8(c), 

     (y)      in
the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or
purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the
performance of all of the Company's obligations under this Warrant and the
Purchase Agreement, and 

     (z)      if
registration or qualification is required under the Exchange Act or applicable
state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other
securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or
qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.

If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate
Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or
assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing
Person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written
agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such
additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of
Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the
foregoing. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to
purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon
exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control,
then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such
Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity)
will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash
within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date
of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black-Scholes value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.

          (d)     
Adjustments for Issuances of Rights, Options or Warrants. If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights,
options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder)
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price
per share less than then applicable Exercise Price (except for Permitted
Issuances (as defined below)), then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants (plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock
offered for subscription or purchase), and of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of the Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants, plus the number
of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so
offered would purchase at the 

5

Exercise Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights, options or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any such right,
option or warrant to purchase shares of the Common Stock the issuance of which
resulted in an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, if any
such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised,
the Exercise Price shall immediately upon such expiration be recomputed and
effective immediately upon such expiration be increased to the price which it
would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the Exercise Price made
pursuant to the provisions of this Section after the issuance of such rights or
warrants) had the adjustment of the Exercise Price made upon the issuance of
such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of offering for
subscription or purchase only that number of shares of the Common Stock actually
purchased upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants actually
exercised.

          (e)     
Adjustments for Issuances of Common Stock Equivalents. If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue shares,
except for Permitted Issuances, of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or
other securities or debt that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) entitling any person to
acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Exercise
Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued
shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset
provisions, floating exercise, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due
to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection with such
issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price per share
which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have
occurred for less than the Exercise Price), then, at the sole option of the
Holder, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to mirror the conversion, exchange
or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including
any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall
notify Holder in writing, no later than one (1) business day following the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this Section,
indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price,
exchange price, Exercise price and other pricing terms. 

          (f)     
Permitted Issuances. As used herein, “Permitted
Issuances” shall mean (i) securities issuable pursuant to any option,
warrant or other agreement in effect as of the date hereof and set forth in the
SEC Filings (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); (ii) up to eight
million shares of Common Stock (or options to purchase such Common Stock)
issuable to officers, directors, employees, or consultants to the Company
pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan approved by the Company’s
stockholders and set forth in the SEC Filings; (iii) up to ten million shares of
Common Stock (or options to purchase such Common Stock) issued for consideration
other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar
business combination approved by the Board of Directors: or (iv) up to five
million shares of Common Stock (or warrants, options to purchase such Common
Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock) in any
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the United States
federal securities laws.

          (g)     
Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the
Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, the number of
Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number
of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment.

          (h)     
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made
to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any 

6

given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

          (i)     
Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to
this Section 8, the Company at its expense will promptly compute
such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted
Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the
transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company’s Transfer Agent.

          (j)     
Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any
other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its
Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary,
(ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits
stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the
voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material
terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common
Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and
the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice. 

     9.     
Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in
immediately available funds; provided, however, the Holder may
satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,”
in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant
Shares determined as follows:

	 	           
                         
                         
       X = Y [(A-B)/A] 
	 	where: 
	 	           
                         
                         
       X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder. 
	 	  
	 	           
                         
                         
       Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this 
	 	           
                         
                         
       Warrant is being exercised. 
	 	  
	 	           
                         
                         
       A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days
  
	 	           
                         
                         
       immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date. 
	 	  
	 	           
                         
                         
       B = the Exercise Price. 

     For purposes of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction
shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for
the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant
was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

     10.     
Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to
be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, 

7

except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be
rounded up to the nearest whole share.

     11.     
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading
Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as
set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

     12.     
Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a
new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant
agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to
which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or stockholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.

     13.     
Miscellaneous.

          (a)     
Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof, this
Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the
Company except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This
Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence,
nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any person other than the
Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action
under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the
Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

          (b)     
The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any

ARTICLE III

EVENTS OF DEFAULT: REMEDIES

     3.1     
Events of Default; Acceleration. If any one or more of the following
events (hereinafter defined and designated as “Events of Default”) shall
occur:

     (a)     
failure to make any payment as and when due under the terms of the Debentures,
or payment of any other sum due under this Mortgage when due and payable and
such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof to
Mortgagor; or

     (b)     
any warranty or representation made by Mortgagor in the Debentures, this
Mortgage, or in any statement or certificate furnished pursuant to any of the
foregoing, shall be false, materially misleading or inaccurate and such
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to
Mortgagor provided, however, if any such default is of a nature that cannot be
remedied or cured within the thirty (30) day period, Mortgagor may have such
additional time as is reasonably necessary to remedy or cure the default if
Mortgagor commences to remedy or cure such default within the thirty (30) day
period and thereafter continues with due diligence to remedy or cure the same;
or

     (c)     
failure in the due observance or performance of any other covenant, condition,
or agreement on the part of Mortgagor to be observed or performed pursuant to
the provisions of the Debentures or this Mortgage and such failure continues for
a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Mortgagor;
provided, however, if any such default is of a nature that cannot be remedied or
cured within the thirty (30) day period, Mortgagor may have such additional time
as is reasonably necessary to remedy or cure the default if Mortgagor commences
to remedy or cure such 

3

default within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter
continues with due diligence to remedy or cure the same; or

     (d)     
any judgment shall be recovered against Mortgagor or any attachment or other
court process shall issue, which shall become or create a lien upon the
Collateral or any part thereof and such judgment, attachment or other court
process shall not be discharged or effectually secured or execution thereon
stayed within sixty (60) days from the entry thereof;

then and in any such case, Mortgagee may declare the then
outstanding principal of the Debentures to be forthwith due and payable, and
upon such declaration, the principal, together with interest accrued thereon,
shall become due and payable forthwith at the place of payment specified in the
Debentures, anything in this Mortgage or in the Debentures to the contrary
notwithstanding. In addition, Mortgagee may proceed to protect and enforce its
rights under the Debentures and the Mortgage by foreclosure proceedings as
against all or any part of the Collateral.

     3.2     
Receiver. At any time after an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall be
entitled, as a matter of right, without notice and without either Mortgagee or
the Receiver giving bond or other security and without regard to the solvency or
insolvency of Mortgagor or any person liable for any indebtedness hereby secured
or to the value of the Collateral, to have a receiver appointed for all or any
part of the Collateral and to collect the income, issues, profits, royalties and
revenues thereof with such powers as the court making such appointment shall
confer, and Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment.

     3.3     
Possession by Mortgagee. At any time after an Event of Default,
Mortgagee, either itself or by its agents or attorneys, may, in its discretion,
enter upon and take possession of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof,
and may exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and
having and holding the same, and may use, operate, manage, and control the
Collateral or any part thereof, and conduct the business thereof, either
personally or by agents, employees and attorneys, and may maintain and restore
and may insure and keep insured, the structures, improvements, fixtures, and
other property, real and personal, comprising the Collateral. After paying the
expense of operating the Collateral, including a reasonable commission,
Mortgagee shall apply the monies arising therefrom to the amount then due on the
Debenture.

     3.4     
Foreclosure and Sale. At any time after an Event of Default, Mortgagee
may institute an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to judicially
foreclose the lien of this Mortgage in a manner as provided by law and cause to
be sold to the highest bidder all or any part of the Collateral, and all right,
title, interest, claim and demand therein in one lot as an entirety, or in
separate lots, as Mortgagee may elect, and in one sale or in any number of
separate sales, held at one time or at any number of times.

4

     3.5     
Purchase by Mortgagee. At any sale of the Collateral pursuant to any
judgment or decree of any court in connection with the enforcement of any of the
terms of this Mortgage, Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, may become the
purchaser, and if Mortgagee, its successors or assigns is a purchaser at such
sale, it shall be entitled to use and apply all or any portion of the judgment
or decree entered in its favor in the foreclosure action in settlement or
payment of all or any portion of the purchase price of the property so
purchased.

     3.6     
Payment of Other Expenses. If Mortgagee commences any proceeding to
foreclose this Mortgage or any other appropriate proceeding to enforce its
rights under the Debenture or this Mortgage, Mortgagor covenants and agrees to
pay to Mortgagee all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
paid or incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith, which costs and expenses
may be included in any judgment in Mortgagee's favor in any such suit, action or
proceeding.

     3.7     
Redemption Period. If this Mortgage is foreclosed, the redemption period
after judicial sale shall be one (1) month in lieu of nine (9) months.

     3.8     
Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon or otherwise
available to Mortgagee is intended to be or shall be construed to be exclusive
of any other remedy or remedies; but each and every such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder and
under this Mortgage and now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any
default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such default, or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the giving,
taking or enforcement against any other or additional security, collateral or
guaranty for the payment of the indebtedness secured under this Mortgage operate
to prejudice, waive or affect the security of this Mortgage or any rights,
powers or remedies hereunder; nor shall Mortgagee be required to first look to,
enforce, or exhaust any such other or additional security, collateral, or
guaranty.

     3.9     
Indulgence by Mortgagee. If Mortgagee (a) grants any extension of time or
forbearance with respect to the payment of any indebtedness secured by this
Mortgage; (b) takes other or additional security for the payment thereof; (c)
waives or fails to exercise any right granted herein or under the Debentures or
this Mortgage; (d) grants any release, with or without consideration, of the
whole or any part of the security held for the payment of the Obligations or the
release of any person liable for payment of such debt; (e) amends or modifies in
any respect any of the terms and provisions hereof or of the Debenture
(including substitution of another) or of this Mortgage; then and in any such
event, such act or omission to act shall not, unless otherwise agreed in writing
by Mortgagee, release Mortgagor under any covenant of the Debentures or this
Mortgage, nor preclude Mortgagee from exercising any right, power, or privilege
herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any other default then
made or any subsequent default or Event of Default, and without in any way
impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Mortgage.

5

     3.10    Application
of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale or sales of the Collateral or any part
thereof pursuant to this Article III shall be applied in the following
order:

          (a)     
To the payment of all costs of the sale and the foreclosure proceedings,
including attorneys' fees and the cost of title searches, abstracts, and
surveys;

          (b)     
To the payment of all other expenses of Mortgagee, including all monies expended
by Mortgagee and all other amounts payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee hereunder,
with interest thereon; and all taxes, assessments or liens superior to the lien
thereof;

          (c)     
To the payment of the principal and interest on the Debentures;

          (d)     
To the payment of any other sums owed by Mortgagor to Mortgagee; and

          (e)     
To the payment of the surplus, if any, to Mortgagor or to whomsoever shall be
entitled thereto.

     3.11     
Abandonment of Proceedings. If Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce
any right under this Mortgage by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason then, and
in every such case, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the
lien hereof.

ARTICLE IV

CONDEMNATION; RELEASES

     4.1     
Condemnation. If all or any part of the Collateral is damaged, taken, or
acquired, either temporarily or permanently, in any condemnation proceeding, by
exercise of the right of eminent domain, by sale in lieu of condemnation or
eminent domain, then the amount of any award or other payment for such taking or
damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent of the full amount of the
then-remaining unpaid indebtedness secured hereby, is hereby assigned to
Mortgagee, who is empowered to collect and receive the same and to give proper
receipts therefore in the name of Mortgagor, and the same shall be paid
forthwith to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall nevertheless be empowered to contest any
such condemnation proceeding, and should Mortgagor make such contest,
Mortgagee's right to the award shall only be enforceable following a final,
non-appealable court order.

6

     4.2     
Satisfaction of Mortgage. Whenever Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be
paid the entire principal and interest due and to become due upon the
Debentures, and shall have performed and observed all of the terms, covenants,
and conditions by it to be performed or observed under the Debentures and this
Mortgage, then and in such event Mortgagee shall forthwith execute and deliver
to Mortgagor an appropriate instrument of release.

ARTICLE V

     5.1     
Creation of a Security Interest. This Mortgage shall be self-operative
and shall constitute a security agreement pursuant to the provisions of the New
Mexico UCC with respect to the Collateral that constitutes personal property
under the New Mexico UCC. Upon Default, the Mortgagee shall have the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the New Mexico UCC as well as all other rights
and remedies available under this Mortgage and at law or in equity, and, at the
Mortgagee’s option, the Mortgagee may also invoke the remedies provided
elsewhere in this Mortgage as to such Collateral. The Mortgagor and the
Mortgagee agree that the rights granted to the Mortgagee as secured party under
this Article 5 are in addition to rather than a limitation on any of the
Mortgagee’s other rights under this Mortgage with respect to the Collateral.

     5.2     
Filing Authorization. The Mortgagor irrevocably authorizes the Mortgagee
to file, in the appropriate locations for filings of UCC financing statements in
any jurisdictions as the Mortgagee in good faith deems appropriate, such

perfect or continue this security interest, or in order to prevent any filed
financing statement from becoming misleading or from losing its perfected
status.

     5.3

a fixture filing with the County Clerks of Grant and Hidalgo Counties, New
Mexico with respect to any and all fixtures comprising Collateral. The “debtor”

the granting clause of this Mortgage, and the addresses of the debtor and
secured party are the addresses stated in Section 6.2 of this Mortgage for

to defend or enforce any rights of Mortgagee, then Mortgagor shall reimburse
Mortgagee for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith. All amounts incurred by Mortgagee
hereunder shall be secured hereby and shall be due and payable by Mortgagor to
Mortgagee forthwith on demand, with interest thereon at the rate at which
interest accrues on amounts due under the Debentures after the same became
due.

     6.6     
Amendment. Neither this Mortgage nor any term, covenant, or condition
contained herein may be amended, modified, or terminated, except by an agreement
