reasonable efforts to assist the Lender in the collection and enforcement of the
Accounts  and will not  hinder,  delay or impede the Lender in any manner in its
collection and enforcement of the Accounts.

         5.       Preservation and Protection of Security  Interest.  Each of
the  Borrower and the  Stockholders  represents  and  warrants  that it has, and
covenants  and agrees that at all times  during the term of this  Agreement,  it
will have,  good and marketable  title to the Collateral from time to time owned
or  acquired by it free and clear of all  mortgages,  pledges,  liens,  security
interests,  charges or other  encumbrances,  except for the Permitted  Liens and
those  junior in right of payment  and  enforcement  to that of the Lender or in
favor of the  Lender,  and shall  defend the  Collateral  against the claims and
demands of all persons, firms and entities whomsoever. Assuming Lender has taken
all required action to perfect a security interest in the Collateral as provided
by the Code, each of the Borrower and the  Stockholders  represents and warrants
that as of the date of this  Agreement the Lender has, and that all times in the
future the Lender will have, a first priority perfected security interest in the
Collateral,  prior  and  superior  to the  rights of all  third  parties  in the
Collateral  existing on the date of this  Agreement or arising after the date of
this  Agreement,  subject to the  Permitted  Liens.  Except as permitted by this
Agreement, each of the Borrower and the Stockholder covenants and agrees that it
shall not,  without the prior written  consent of the Lender (i) borrow  against
the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral  from any other person,  firm or
entity, except for borrowings which are subordinate to the rights of the Lender,
(ii) grant or create or permit to attach or exist any  mortgage,  pledge,  lien,
charge  or other  encumbrance,  or  security  interest  on,  of or in any of the
Collateral or any portion of the Collateral  except those in favor of the Lender
or the Permitted  Liens,  (iii) permit any levy or attachment to be made against
the  Collateral  or any portion of the  Collateral,  except those subject to the
Permitted  Liens,  or (iv) permit any  financing  statements  to be on file with
respect to any of the Collateral,  except  financing  statements in favor of the
Lender or those with  respect  to the  Permitted  Liens.  The  Borrower  and the
Stockholders  shall  faithfully  preserve  and  protect  the  Lender's  security
interest in the Collateral and shall,  at their own cost and expense,  cause, or
assist the Lender to cause that  security  interest to be perfected and continue
perfected so long as the Debt or any portion of the Debt is outstanding,  unpaid
or executory.  For purposes of the perfection of the Lender's  security interest
in the Collateral in accordance with the  requirements  of this  Agreement,  the
Borrower  and the  Stockholders  shall  from time to time at the  request of the
Lender  file or  record,  or cause to be filed or  recorded,  such  instruments,
documents  and  notices,   including   assignments,   financing  statements  and
continuation  statements,  as  the  Lender  may  reasonably  deem  necessary  or
advisable  from time to time in order to perfect  and  continue  perfected  such
security  interest.  The Borrower and the  Stockholders  shall do all such other
acts and things and shall  execute and deliver  all such other  instruments  and
documents,   including  further  security  agreements,   pledges,  endorsements,
assignments  and notices,  as the Lender in its discretion  may reasonably  deem
necessary  or  advisable  from time to time in order to perfect and preserve the

                                       9
<page>

priority  of such  security  interest as a first lien  security  interest in the
Collateral prior to the rights of all third persons, firms and entities, subject
to the  Permitted  Liens  and  except  as  may be  otherwise  provided  in  this
Agreement.  The Borrower and the Stockholders agree that a carbon,  photographic
or other  reproduction of this Agreement or a financing  statement is sufficient
as a financing statement and may be filed instead of the original.

         6.  Insurance.  Risk of loss of, damage to or destruction of the
Equipment,  Inventory and Fixtures is on the Borrower. The Borrower shall insure
the Equipment,  Inventory and Fixtures  against such risks and casualties and in
such  amounts and with such  insurance  companies  as is  ordinarily  carried by
corporations  or other  entities  engaged in the same or similar  businesses and
similarly situated or as otherwise reasonably required by the Lender in its sole
discretion.  In the event of loss of, damage to or destruction of the Equipment,
Inventory or Fixtures  during the term of this  Agreement,  the  Borrower  shall
promptly notify Lender of such loss,  damage or  destruction.  At the reasonable
request of the  Lender,  each of the  Borrower's  policies  of  insurance  shall
contain  loss  payable  clauses in favor of the Borrower and the Lender as their
respective  interests may appear and shall contain provision for notification of
the Lender  thirty (30) days prior to the  termination  of such  policy.  At the
request of the Lender, copies of all such policies,  or certificates  evidencing
the same,  shall be deposited  with the Lender.  If the Borrower fails to effect
and keep in full force and effect such  insurance  or fails to pay the  premiums
when due, the Lender may (but shall not be  obligated  to) do so for the account
of the Borrower and add the cost thereof to the Debt.  The Lender is irrevocably
appointed  attorney-in-fact  of the Borrower to endorse any draft or check which
may be  payable  to the  Borrower  in  order to  collect  the  proceeds  of such
insurance. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender
will turn over to the Borrower the proceeds of any such  insurance  collected by
it on the  condition  that the Borrower  apply such  proceeds  either (i) to the
repair of damaged Equipment,  Inventory or Fixtures,  or (ii) to the replacement
of destroyed  Equipment,  Inventory  or Fixtures  with  Equipment,  Inventory or
Fixtures of the same or similar  type and  function  and of at least  equivalent
value (in the sole judgment of the Lender), provided such replacement Equipment,
Fixtures or Inventory is made subject to the security  interest  created by this
Agreement  and  constitutes  a first lien  security  interest in the  Equipment,
Inventory  and  Fixtures  subject  only to  Permitted  Liens and other  security
interests  permitted  under this  Agreement,  and is  perfected by the filing of

                                       10
<page>

financing  statements in the  appropriate  public offices and the taking of such
other  action as may be  necessary or desirable in order to perfect and continue
perfected such security interest. Any balance of insurance proceeds remaining in
the  possession  of the Lender  after  payment in full of the Debt shall be paid
over to the Borrower or its order.

         7.          Maintenance  and Repair.  The Borrower  shall  maintain the
Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures, and every portion thereof, in good condition,
repair and working order, reasonable wear and tear alone excepted, and shall pay
and discharge all taxes, levies and other impositions assessed or levied thereon
as well as the cost of repairs to or  maintenance  of the same.  If the Borrower
fails to do so, the Lender may (but shall not be  obligated  to) pay the cost of
such  repairs or  maintenance  and such  taxes,  levies or  impositions  for the
account of the Borrower and add the amount of such payments to the Debt.

         8.          Preservation of Rights Against Third Parties;  Preservation
of Collateral in Lender's Possession. Until such time as the Lender exercise its
right to effect  direct  collection of the Accounts and the Chattel Paper and to
effect the enforcement of the Borrower's  contract  rights,  the Borrower assume
full  responsibility  for taking any and all  commercially  reasonable  steps to
preserve  rights in  respect of the  Accounts  and the  Chattel  Paper and their
contracts  against prior  parties.  The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such of the Collateral as may
come into its  possession  from time to time if the Lender takes such action for
that  purpose as the  Borrower  shall  request in  writing,  provided  that such
requested  action shall not, in the judgment of the Lender,  impair the Lender's
security  interest  in the  Collateral  or its right  in,  or the value of,  the
Collateral,  and provided  further that the Lender receives such written request
in sufficient time to permit the Lender to take the requested action.

         9.       Events of Default and Remedies.

         (a) If any one or more of the  Events of Default  shall  occur or shall
exist,  the Lender may then or at any time  thereafter,  so long as such default
shall continue, foreclose the lien or security interest in the Collateral in any
way  permitted  by law, or upon fifteen  (15) days prior  written  notice to the
Borrower or the Stockholders,  sell any or all Collateral at private sale at any
time or place in one or more sales, at such price or prices and upon such terms,
either for cash or on credit, as the Lender, in its sole discretion,  may elect,
or sell any or all Collateral at public  auction,  either for cash or on credit,
as the Lender,  in its sole  discretion,  may elect,  and at any such sale,  the
Lender  may bid for and  become  the  purchaser  of any or all such  Collateral.
Pending any such action the Lender may liquidate the Collateral.

         (b) If any one or more of the  Events of Default  shall  occur or shall
exist, the Lender may then, or at any time  thereafter,  so long as such default
shall continue, grant extensions to, or adjust claims of, or make compromises or
settlements  with,  debtors,  guarantors  or any other  parties  with respect to
Collateral or any securities,  guarantees or insurance applying thereon, without
notice to or the consent of the Borrower or the Stockholders,  without affecting
the Borrower's or the Stockholders' liability under this Agreement or the Notes.
Each of the  Borrower  and the  Stockholders  waives  notice of  acceptance,  of
nonpayment, protest or notice of protest of any Accounts or Chattel Paper or any
of its  contract  rights  and any other  notices  to which the  Borrower  or the
Stockholders may be entitled.

                                       11
<page>

         (c) If any one or more of the  Events of Default  shall  occur or shall
exist and be  continuing,  then in any such  event,  the Lender  shall have such
additional  rights and  remedies  in respect of the  Collateral  or any  portion
thereof as are  provided  by the Code and such  other  rights  and  remedies  in
respect  thereof which it may have at law or in equity or under this  Agreement,
including  without  limitation the right to enter any premises where  Equipment,
Inventory  and/or  Fixtures are located and take  possession and control thereof
without  demand  or  notice  and  without  prior   judicial   hearing  or  legal
proceedings, which the Borrower and the Stockholders expressly waive.

         (d) The Lender shall apply the Proceeds of any sale or  liquidation  of
the Collateral,  and, subject to Section 6, any Proceeds  received by the Lender
from  insurance,  first to the  payment  of the  reasonable  costs and  expenses
incurred by the Lender in  connection  with such sale or  collection,  including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses,  second to the
payment of the Debt, whether on account of principal or interest or otherwise as
the Lender, in its sole discretion,  may elect, and then to pay the balance,  if
any, to the  Borrower or as  otherwise  required  by law. If such  Proceeds  are
insufficient  to pay the amounts  required by law, the Borrower  shall be liable
for any deficiency.

         (e) Upon the  occurrence  of any Event of Default,  the Borrower  shall
promptly upon written demand by the Lender assemble the Equipment, Inventory and
Fixtures  and make  them  available  to the  Lender  at a place or  places to be
designated by the Lender.  The rights of the Lender under this paragraph to have
the Equipment,  Inventory and Fixtures  assembled and made available to it is of
the essence of this Agreement and the Lender may, at its election,  enforce such
right by an action in equity  for  injunctive  relief or  specific  performance,
without the requirement of a bond.

         10.    Defeasance.   Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary
contained in this  Agreement  upon payment and  performance in full of the Debt,
this  Agreement  shall  terminate  and be of no further force and effect and the
Lender shall thereupon terminate its security interest in the Collateral.  Until
such  time,  however,  this  Agreement  shall be  binding  upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns, provided that, without the
prior written consent of the Lender,  the Borrower may not assign this Agreement
or any of its  rights  under this  Agreement  or  delegate  any of its duties or
obligations under this Agreement and any such attempted assignment or delegation
shall  be null and  void.  This  Agreement  is not  intended  and  shall  not be
construed to obligate the Lender to take any action  whatsoever  with respect to
the Collateral or to incur expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty
or disability of the Borrower.

         11.      Miscellaneous.
                  -------------

         (a) The provisions of this  Agreement are intended to be severable.  If
any  provision  of this  Agreement  shall  for any  reason  be held  invalid  or
unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction,  such provision shall, as
to such  jurisdiction,  be  ineffective  to the  extent  of such  invalidity  or
unenforceability  without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability
of such  provision  in any other  jurisdiction  or any other  provision  of this
Agreement in any jurisdiction.

         (b) No  failure or delay on the part of the  Lender in  exercising  any
right,  remedy,  power or  privilege  under  this  Agreement  and the Note shall
operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of
the Lender under this  Agreement,  the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents;
nor shall any single or partial  exercise  of any such right,  remedy,  power or
privilege  preclude  any other  right,  remedy,  power or  privilege  or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
The rights, remedies,  powers and privileges of the Lender under this Agreement,
the Note and the other Loan  Documents are  cumulative  and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies which they may otherwise have.

                           PLEDGE AND ESCROW AGREEMENT

         THIS PLEDGE AND ESCROW  AGREEMENT (the "Escrow  Agreement") is made and
entered  into as of  March  17th,  2006  (the  "Effective  Date")  by and  among
FOOTHILLS RESOURCES,  INC., a corporation  organized and existing under the laws
of the State of Nevada (the "Pledgee"),  BRASADA CALIFORNIA, INC., a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Borrower"),
John  L.  Moran,  Dennis  B.  Tower,  MMP  LLP,  and  W.  Kirk  Bosche  (each  a
"Stockholder" and collectively,  the  "Stockholders")  (each of the Borrower and
the  Stockholders  are  sometimes  hereinafter  referred  to  individually  as a
"Pledgor" and collectively as the "Pledgors"), and GOTTBETTER & PARTNERS, LLP, a
New York limited liability partnership, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent").

                                    RECITALS:

         WHEREAS, in order to secure the Borrower's  obligations under a certain
Bridge Loan and Control Share Pledge and Security  Agreement,  together with the
related Bridge Loan  Promissory  Note and Security  Agreement,  all of even date
herewith (collectively  referred to as the "Loan Documents")  (capitalized terms
not otherwise  defined in this Escrow Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the other Loan  Documents),  each Stockholder has agreed to pledge to
the  Pledgee  the  number  of  shares  of  Brasada  common  stock  owned by such
Stockholder  as set forth below such  Stockholders  name on the  signature  page
hereto,  which together with all of the  Stockholders'  shares pledged hereunder
constitute the Borrower Control Shares and are sometimes hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Pledged Shares".

         NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants,  agreements,
warranties,  and  representations  herein  contained,  and for  other  good  and
valuable  consideration,   the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of  which  is  hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.         Pledge and Transfer of Pledged  Shares.  The Pledgors hereby grant to
the  Pledgee a security  interest  in all  Pledged  Shares as  security  for the
Borrower's  obligations  under  the  Loan  Documents.  Simultaneously  with  the
execution of the Loan Documents,  the Pledgors shall deliver to the Escrow Agent
stock certificates  representing the Pledged Shares, together with duly executed
stock powers or other appropriate  transfer  documents  executed in blank by the
Pledgors (the "Transfer  Documents"),  and such stock  certificates and Transfer
Documents  shall be held by the  Escrow  Agent  until  the full  payment  of all
amounts due to the Pledgee  under the Loan  Documents  and through  repayment in
accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Loan  Documents,  or the  termination  or
expiration of this Escrow Agreement.

2.       Rights Relating to Pledged Shares.
         ---------------------------------

2.1.  The  Pledgors  shall  have the  right to vote the  Pledged  Shares  at all
meetings of the  Borrower's  stockholders  to the same extent as if such Pledged
Shares  were held by  Pledgors;  provided  that no Event of Default  (as defined
herein) has occurred and is continuing  and that the Pledgors are not in default
in the performance of any term of the Security Agreement.

<page>

2.2.  Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as an Event of
Default is continuing, the Pledgee shall be entitled to vote the Pledged Shares,
to receive  dividends and other  distributions  thereon,  and to enjoy all other
rights and privileges incident to the ownership of the Pledged Shares.

3.           Release of Pledged  Shares  from  Pledge.  Upon the  payment of all
amounts due to the Pledgee  under the Loan  Documents by repayment in accordance
with the terms of the Note,  the parties hereto shall notify the Escrow Agent to
such effect in writing.  Upon receipt of such written  notice,  the Escrow Agent
shall  return  to the  Pledgors  the  Transfer  Documents  and the  certificates
representing  the  Pledged  Shares,   (collectively  the  "Pledged  Materials"),
whereupon  any and all  rights of  Pledgee  in the  Pledged  Materials  shall be
terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon full
payment of all amounts due to the Pledgee under the Loan Documents, by repayment
in accordance  with the terms of the Note,  this Escrow  Agreement and Pledgee's
security interest and rights in and to the Pledged Shares shall terminate.

4.       Event of Default.  An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have
occurred under this Escrow Agreement upon an Event of Default under the
Transaction Documents.

5.          Remedies.  Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  the Pledgee
shall  provide  written  notice of such  Default (the  "Default  Notice") to the
Escrow Agent, with a copy to the Pledgors.  As soon as practicable after receipt
of the Default Notice, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Pledgee the Pledged
Materials held by the Escrow Agent hereunder, whereupon the Pledgee may exercise
all rights and remedies of a secured  party with respect to such property as may
be available under the Uniform  Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New
York.

6.       Concerning the Escrow Agent.

6.1. The Escrow Agent  undertakes  to perform only such duties as are  expressly
set forth herein and no implied  duties or  obligations  shall be read into this
Escrow Agreement against the Escrow Agent.

6.2.  The Escrow  Agent may act in reliance  upon any writing or  instrument  or
signature  which it, in good  faith,  believes  to be  genuine,  may  assume the
validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion  contained in such a writing
or  instrument,  and may assume that any person  purporting to give any writing,
notice, advice or instructions in connection with the provisions hereof has been
duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for
the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner, and execution, or validity of
any instrument deposited in this escrow, nor as to the identity,  authority,  or
right of any  person  executing  the same;  and its  duties  hereunder  shall be
limited to the safekeeping of such certificates,  monies,  instruments, or other
document  received by it as such escrow holder,  and for the  disposition of the
same in accordance with the written instruments accepted by it in the escrow.

                                       2
<page>

6.3. The Pledgee and the Pledgors  hereby  agree,  to defend and  indemnify  the
Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims, liabilities,  losses,
actions, suits, or proceedings at law or in equity, or any other expenses, fees,
or charges of any character or nature which it may incur or with which it may be
threatened by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent under this Escrow  Agreement;
and in connection  therewith,  to indemnify the Escrow Agent against any and all
expenses,  including attorneys' fees and costs of defending any action, suit, or
proceeding  or resisting  any claim (and any costs  incurred by the Escrow Agent
pursuant to Sections 6.4 or 6.5 hereof). The Escrow Agent shall be vested with a
lien on all property deposited hereunder, for indemnification of attorneys' fees
and court  costs  regarding  any suit,  proceeding  or  otherwise,  or any other
expenses,  fees, or charges of any character or nature, which may be incurred by
the Escrow Agent by reason of disputes arising between the makers of this escrow
as to the correct interpretation of this Escrow Agreement and instructions given
to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or otherwise, with the right of the Escrow Agent,
regardless of the instructions aforesaid, to hold said property until and unless
said additional expenses,  fees, and charges shall be fully paid. Customary fees
and costs charged by the Escrow Agent for serving hereunder shall be paid by the
Pledgors.

6.4. If any of the parties shall be in disagreement  about the interpretation of
this Escrow Agreement, or about the rights and obligations,  or the propriety of
any action contemplated by the Escrow Agent hereunder,  the Escrow Agent may, at
