SECTION 3. LEASES; ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES

     3.1 To facilitate payment and performance of the Obligation, Trustor hereby
absolutely transfers and assigns to Beneficiary all right, title and interest of
Trustor in and to (i) all existing and future leases, subleases, licenses and
other agreements for the use and occupancy of all or any part of the Trust
Property, whether written or oral and whether for a definite term or month to
month, including but not limited to those described on Schedule "C" attached
hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, together with all guarantees of
the lessee's obligations thereunder and together with all extensions,
modifications and renewals thereof (hereinafter called the "LEASES"), and (ii)
all income, receipts, revenues, rents, issues and profits now or hereafter
arising from or out of the Leases or from or out of the Trust Property or any
part thereof, including without limitation room rents, minimum rents, additional
rents, percentage rents, parking and maintenance charges and fees, tax and
insurance contributions, proceeds of the sale of utilities and services,
cancellation premiums, claims for damages arising from any breach of the Leases,
proceeds from any sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Trust
Property, and all other benefits arising from the use or enjoyment of, or the
lease, sale or other disposition of, all or any portion of the Trust Property,
together with the immediate and continuing right to receive all of the foregoing
(hereinafter called the "RENTS"). In furtherance of this Assignment and not in
lieu hereof, Beneficiary may require a separate assignment of rents and leases
and/or separate specific assignments of rents and leases covering one or more of
the Leases; the terms of all such assignments are incorporated herein by
reference.

     3.2 Trustor hereby authorizes and directs the lessees and tenants under the
Leases that, upon written notice from Beneficiary all Rents shall be paid
directly to Beneficiary as they become due. Trustor hereby relieves the lessees
and tenants from any liability to Trustor by reason of the payment of the Rents
to Beneficiary. Nevertheless, Trustor shall be entitled to collect the Rents
until Beneficiary notifies the lessees and tenants in writing to pay the Rents
to Beneficiary. Beneficiary is hereby authorized to give such notification upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter while such
Event of Default is continuing. Receipt and application of the Rents by
Beneficiary shall not constitute a waiver of any right of Beneficiary under this
Deed of Trust or applicable law, shall not cure any Event of Default hereunder,
and shall not invalidate or affect any act done in connection with such Event of
Default, including, without limitation, any trustee's sale or foreclosure
proceeding.

     3.3 All Rents collected by Trustor shall be applied in the following
manner:

          First, to the payment of all taxes and lien assessments levied against
          the Trust Property, if any, where provision for paying such is not
          otherwise made;

          Second, to the payment of ground rents (if any) payable with respect
          to the Trust Property;

          Third, to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the
          Obligation;

                                        3

<PAGE>

          Fourth, to the payment of current operating costs and expenses
          (including repairs, maintenance and necessary acquisitions of property
          and expenditures for capital improvements) arising in connection with
          the Trust Property;

          Fifth, to Trustor or its designee.

All Rents collected by Beneficiary may be applied to the items above listed in
any manner that Beneficiary deems advisable and without regard to the
aforestated priorities.

     3.4 Trustor represents and warrants that: (i) the Leases are in full force
and effect and have not been modified or amended; (ii) the Rents have not been
waived, discounted, compromised, setoff or paid more than one month in advance;
(iii) there are no other assignments, transfers, pledges or encumbrances of any
Leases or Rents; and (iv) neither Trustor nor the lessees and tenants are in
default under the Leases.

     3.5 Trustor shall (i) fulfill or perform each and every material term,
covenant and provision of the Leases to be fulfilled or performed by the lessor
thereunder; (ii) give prompt notice to Beneficiary of any notice received by
Trustor of default thereunder or of any alleged default or failure of
performance that could become a default thereunder, together with a complete
copy of any such notice; and (iii) enforce, short of termination thereof, the
performance or observance of each and every material term, covenant and
provision of each Lease to be performed or observed by the lessees and tenants
thereunder.

     3.6 Trustor, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary (not to be
unreasonably withheld) shall not: (i) cancel, modify or alter, or accept the
surrender of, any Lease; (ii) assign, transfer, pledge or encumber, the whole or
any part of the Leases and Rents to anyone other than Beneficiary; (iii) accept
any Rents more than one month in advance of the accrual thereof; (iv) do or
permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or omit or refrain from doing
anything, the omission of which, could be a breach or default under the terms of
any Lease or a basis for termination thereof.

     3.7 Beneficiary does not assume and shall not be liable for any obligation
of the lessor under any of the Leases and all such obligations shall continue to
rest upon Trustor as though this assignment had not been made. Beneficiary shall
not be liable for the failure or inability to collect any Rents.

     3.8 Neither the Assignment of Rents and Leases contained herein or in any
separate assignment nor the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or
remedies thereunder or in connection therewith, prior to Beneficiary obtaining
actual possession of the Trust Property as provided in Paragraph 8.2 hereof,
shall constitute Beneficiary a "mortgagee in possession" or otherwise make
Beneficiary responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Trust
Property or the occupancy, operation or use thereof. In the event Beneficiary
obtains actual possession of the Trust Property as provided in Paragraph 8.2
hereof, Beneficiary shall have the rights, and Beneficiary's liability shall be
limited, as provided in that Paragraph.

and whether represented by checks, drafts, notes or other instruments for the
payment of money. The personal property described or referred to in this
Paragraph 4.1 is hereinafter called the "Personal Property." The security
interests granted in this Paragraph 4.1 are hereinafter severally and
collectively called the "Security Interest." The Personal Property includes and
the Security Interest extends to the particular items shown on Schedule "D"
attached hereto. The parties hereto agree that this Deed of Trust shall be
deemed and is a Security Agreement as defined in and for all purposes under the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Arizona.

     4.2 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trust Property
shall not include and the Security Interest granted to Beneficiary under
Paragraph 4.1 shall not extend to and shall not be in any buildings, structures,
improvements, fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture and furnishings, or any
contracts, leases documents, instruments or agreements thereof; hereafter
acquired by Trustor unless such property was acquired in whole or in part with
the proceeds of the Trust Property or are replacements in whole or in part for
the Trust Property.

     4.3 The Security Interest shall be self-operative with respect to the
Personal Property, but Trustor shall execute and deliver upon receipt of written
request therefor from Beneficiary such additional security agreements, financing
statements and other instruments as may be reasonably requested in order to
impose the Security Interest more specifically upon the Personal Property. The
Security Interest, at all times, shall be prior to any other interests in the
Personal Property except any lien or security interest granted in connection
with any Permitted Exception. Trustor shall act and perform as necessary and
shall execute and file all security agreements, financing statements,
continuation statements and other documents reasonably requested by Beneficiary
to establish, maintain and continue the perfected Security Interest. Trustor, on
demand, shall promptly pay all costs and expenses of filing and recording.

     4.4 Trustor shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any
Personal Property or any interest therein without obtaining the prior written
consent of Beneficiary not to be unreasonably withheld, except Personal Property
that Trustor is obliged to replace pursuant to the terms hereof. Unless
Beneficiary then agrees otherwise in writing, all proceeds from any permitted
sale or disposition in excess of that required for replacements shall be paid to
Beneficiary to be applied to the Obligation, whether or not then due. Trustor
shall keep the Personal Property free of all security interests or other
encumbrances, except the Security Interest and any security interests and
encumbrances granted in connection with any Permitted Exception. Although
proceeds of Personal Property are covered hereby, this shall not be construed to
mean that Beneficiary consents to any sale of the Personal Property.

     4.5 Trustor shall keep and maintain the Personal Property in at least as
good condition and repair as in existence as of the date hereof, normal wear and
tear excepted, and shall promptly replace any part thereof that from time to
time may become obsolete, badly worn or in a state of disrepair. All such
replacements shall be free of any other security interest or encumbrance, except

Exception.

prior written consent of Beneficiary not to be unreasonably withheld, shall not
remove, or permit the removal of, any Personal Property from the Premises.

Property is or will be used primarily for business (other than farm) purposes;

immediate written notice of any change in the name, identity or structure of
Trustor.

     4.9 All covenants and warranties of Trustor contained in this Deed of Trust
shall apply to the Personal Property whether or not expressly referred to in
this Section 4. The covenants and warranties of Trustor contained in this
Section 4 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, those contained in the
other provisions of this Deed of Trust.

     4.10 Upon its recording in the real property records, this Deed of Trust
shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing. In
addition, a carbon, photographic or other reproduced copy of this Deed of Trust
and/or any financing statement relating hereto shall be sufficient for filing
and/or recording as a financing statement. The filing of any other financing
statement relating to any personal property, rights or interests described
herein shall not be construed to diminish any right or priority hereunder.

SECTION 5. PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION OF THE TRUST PROPERTY

     5.1 Trustor shall neither commit nor permit to occur any waste upon the
Trust Property but shall at all times make or cause to be made all commercially
reasonable repairs, maintenance, renewals and replacements as may be necessary

liens or encumbrances upon the Trust Property. Trustor shall substantially
comply with all material laws, ordinances and regulations now or hereafter
enacted, including, without limitation, the ADA, affecting the Trust Property or
requiring any alterations or improvements to be made. Except as required by law,
Trustor shall not remove, substantially alter, or demolish any building

                                        9

or improvement included in the Trust Property without Beneficiary's prior
written consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

     5.3 (a) Trustor shall provide and maintain policies of fire and extended
coverage insurance on the Trust Property in an amount not less than the full
insurable value, on a replacement-cost basis, of the Trust Property and, when
requested by Beneficiary, shall also provide and maintain policies of insurance
in amounts commercially reasonable covering vandalism and malicious mischief,
sprinkler leakage, rent abatement and/or business loss, flood damage, earthquake
and all other risks commonly insured against by persons owning like properties
in the locality of the Trust Property or commonly required by prudent
institutional lenders making loans secured by liens against such properties. All
such policies shall contain standard, non-contributory trust beneficiary clauses
making losses payable to Beneficiary. Trustor shall also provide and maintain
comprehensive public liability insurance in amounts reasonably required by
Beneficiary and containing endorsements naming Beneficiary as an additional
insured. All insurance policies shall be with companies from time to time
reasonably approved by Beneficiary, shall provide that Beneficiary is to receive
thirty (30) days' notice prior to cancellation and shall otherwise be in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary. Original policies of
insurance shall be delivered to Beneficiary; renewal policies shall be delivered
to Beneficiary thirty (30) days before the expiration of the then-existing
policies with satisfactory proof that the premiums for renewal have been paid.

          (b) In the event of loss, Trustor shall give immediate notice to
Beneficiary, and Beneficiary may make proof of loss if not made promptly by
Trustor. Each insurance company is hereby authorized and directed to make
payment for loss directly to an escrow account with a third party bank selected
by Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion upon the written discretion of
Beneficiary, instead of to Trustor or to Trustor and Beneficiary jointly;
Beneficiary may apply all or any part of such insurance proceeds to the payment
of the Obligation, whether or not then due, or the restoration or repair of the
Trust Property. Beneficiary shall not be responsible for any insurance, for the
collection of any insurance proceeds, or for the insolvency of any insurer.
Application of insurance proceeds in an amount less than the full outstanding
amount of the Obligations by Beneficiary shall not cure nor waive any Event of
Default nor invalidate any act done hereunder because of any such Event of
Default. In the event of the sale of the Trust Property under the power of sale
herein granted to Trustee, or upon foreclosure of this Deed of Trust as a
mortgage, or in the event Beneficiary or a receiver appointed by the court shall
take possession of the Trust Property without sale, then all right, title and
interest of Trustor in and to all insurance policies then in force shall inure
to the benefit of and pass to the beneficiary in possession, receiver or
purchaser at such sale, as the case may be. Beneficiary is hereby appointed
attorney in fact for Trustor to assign and transfer such policies.

          (c) If the insurance proceeds are to be used for the restoration and
repair of the Trust Property, they shall be held in a non-interest bearing
escrow account with a third party bank selected by Beneficiary in its reasonable
discretion (the "Restoration Account"). Trustor, at its expense, shall promptly
prepare and submit to Beneficiary all plans and specifications necessary for the
restoration and repair of the damaged Trust Property, together with evidence
reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary setting forth the total expenditure needed
for the restoration

                                       10

<PAGE>

and repair based upon a fixed price contract with a reputable builder and
covered by performance and labor and material payment bonds. The plans and
specifications and all other aspects of the proposed restoration and repair
shall be subject to Beneficiary's approval not to be unreasonable withheld. In
the event the insurance proceeds held in the Restoration Account are
insufficient to complete the restoration and repair, Trustor shall deposit in
the Restoration Account an amount equal to the difference between the amount
then held in the Restoration Account and the total contract price for the
restoration and repair. Trustor may commence restoration and repair of the
damaged Trust Property only when authorized in writing by Beneficiary to do so
and thereafter shall proceed in a commercially reasonable manner with the
restoration and repair until completed. Disbursements shall be made from the
Restoration Account for the restoration and repair in accordance with a
disbursement schedule, and subject to other terms and conditions, reasonably
acceptable to Beneficiary. Disbursements from the Restoration Account shall be
charged first against funds deposited by Trustor and, after such funds are
exhausted, against the insurance proceeds deposited therein. In the event the
amounts held in the Restoration Account exceed the cost of the restoration and
repair of the damaged Trust Property, the excess funds shall be disbursed to
Trustor to the extent of any amounts deposited therein by Trustor. Any funds
remaining after such disbursement, at Beneficiary's option, may be applied by
Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligation, whether or not then due, or may be
disbursed to Trustor. All funds held in the Restoration Account are hereby
assigned to Beneficiary as further security for the Obligation. Beneficiary, at
any time, may apply all or any part of the funds held in the Restoration Account
to the curing of any Event of Default.

     5.4 Trustor shall maintain and preserve all patented and unpatented mining
claims that are a part of the Trust Property. Trustor shall pay or cause to be
paid all taxes and assessments of every kind, nature and description levied or
assessed on or against the Trust Property and shall deliver to Beneficiary, at
least ten (10) days before they become delinquent, receipts showing payment of
all such taxes and assessments. Trustor shall maintain and preserve all permits
associated with the Trust Property and shall pay or cause to be paid all fees
and charges of every kind, nature and description with respect to the permits
and shall deliver to Beneficiary at least ten (10) days before they become
delinquent, receipts showing payment of all such fees and charges. Trustor also
shall pay when due all dues and charges for water and water delivery,
electricity, gas, sewers, waste removal, bills for repairs, and any and all
other claims, encumbrances and expenses incident to the ownership of the Trust
Property and when requested by Beneficiary, Trustor shall promptly deliver to
Beneficiary evidence of payment of such expenses. Trustor may contest in good
faith the validity or amount of any tax, assessment, charge or encumbrance in
the manner provided by law, provided that Trustor shall have furnished
Beneficiary a cash deposit to be held in an escrow account with a third party
bank selected by Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion to protect Beneficiary
against the creation of any lien on, or any sale or forfeiture of, the Trust
Property. Upon the final determination of Trustor's contest, Trustor shall
promptly pay all sums determined to be due. Any deposit or security provided by
Trustor shall be returned to Trustor upon the final determination of Trustor's
contest and the payment by Trustor of the sums, if any, determined to be due.

     5.5 Beneficiary may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings, the validity
of any valuation for real or personal property tax purposes or of any levy or
assessment of any real or personal property taxes against the Trust Property
either in the name of Beneficiary or the name

                                       11

<PAGE>

of Trustor or both. Trustor, upon notice and request by Beneficiary, shall join
in any such proceedings. Trustor shall cooperate with Beneficiary in any such
proceeding and execute any documents or pleadings required for such purposes.
Trustor shall provide Beneficiary with a copy of the Notice of Valuation within
ten (10) days after receipt (five (5) days in the case of personal property). If
Beneficiary is successful in contesting any valuation, Trustor shall reimburse
Beneficiary for all reasonable costs and legal expenses incurred by Beneficiary
in connection with any such proceedings, but in no event shall such
reimbursement exceed the tax savings achieved for the period covered by the
Notice of Valuation. To facilitate the right of a Beneficiary to contest any
real or personal property tax valuation, levy, or assessment as described above,
Trustor does hereby make, constitute and appoint Beneficiary, and its successors
and assigns, Trustor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in Trustor's name,
place and stead, or otherwise, to file any claim or proceeding or to take any
action, either in its own name, in that of its nominee, in the name of Trustor,
or otherwise, to contest any real or personal property tax valuation, levy, or
assessment. The power of attorney given herein is a power coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any part of the Obligation remains
unpaid or unperformed. Beneficiary shall have no obligation to exercise any of
the foregoing rights and powers in any event.

     5.6 In order to insure the payment of taxes and assessments that are now,
or hereafter may be, a lien upon the Trust Property, and to insure the payment
of all premiums on policies of insurance required herein, Trustor, if required
by Beneficiary after an Event of Default, shall pay to Beneficiary each month to
be held in an escrow account in a third party bank selected by Beneficiary in
its reasonable discretion, in addition to any other payments required hereunder,
an amount equal to the taxes and special assessments levied or to be levied
against the Trust Property and the premium or premiums that will become due and
payable to maintain the insurance on the Trust Property, all as reasonably
estimated by Beneficiary (giving due consideration to the previous year's taxes,
assessments and premiums) less all deposits therefore already made, divided by
the number of months remaining before one month prior to the date when the
taxes, assessments and premiums become delinquent. If amounts paid to
Beneficiary under the terms of this paragraph are insufficient to pay all taxes,
assessments and premiums as they become due, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary
upon demand all additional sums necessary to fully pay and discharge these
items. All moneys paid to Beneficiary under the terms of this paragraph may be
either held by Beneficiary in an escrow account with a third party bank selected
by Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion to pay the taxes, assessments and
premiums before the same become delinquent or applied to the Obligation upon
payment by Beneficiary from its own funds of the taxes, assessments and
premiums. To the extent provision is not made for payment pursuant to this
paragraph, Trustor shall remain obligated to pay all taxes, assessments and
premiums as they become due and payable. Beneficiary shall have no liability to
Trustor for interest on any deposits.

     5.7 Trustor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Beneficiary all
compensation and each and every award of damages in connection with any
condemnation for public or private use of, or injury to, the Trust Property or
any part thereof, to the extent of the Obligation then remaining unpaid, and all
such compensation and awards shall be paid directly to Beneficiary. Beneficiary
may apply all or any part of such compensation and awards to the payment of the
Obligation, whether or not then due, or to the restoration or repair of the
Trust Property.

SECTION 6. PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION OF BENEFICIARY'S INTEREST

     6.1 Trustor, by the payment of any such tax or taxes, shall protect
Beneficiary against any and all loss from any taxation of indebtedness or deeds
of trust, direct or indirect, that may be imposed upon this Deed of Trust, the
lien of this Deed of Trust on the Trust Property, or upon the Obligation, by any
law, rule, regulation or levy of the federal government, any state government,
or any political subdivision thereof. In the event the burden of such taxation
cannot lawfully be shifted from Beneficiary to Trustor, Beneficiary may declare
the entire Obligation due and payable sixty (60) days after notice to Trustor.

     6.2 If Trustor shall fail to pay any taxes, assessments, expenses or
charges, to keep all of the Trust Property free from liens and claims of liens,
to maintain and repair the Trust Property, or to procure and maintain insurance
thereon, or otherwise fail to perform as required herein, Beneficiary may
advance the monies necessary to pay the same, to accomplish such maintenance and
repairs, to procure and maintain such insurance or to so perform; Beneficiary is
hereby authorized to enter upon the Trust Property for such purposes.

     6.3 Upon written request by Beneficiary, and excluding any actions by
Beneficiary to object to claims in Beneficiary's pending Chapter ii bankruptcy
case, Trustor shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
that may affect the lien or the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust or
the rights of Beneficiary hereunder and shall pay all costs, expenses (including
the cost of searching title) and attorneys' fees incurred in such action or
proceeding. Beneficiary may appear in and defend any action or proceeding
purporting to affect the lien or the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust
or the rights of Beneficiary. Beneficiary may pay, purchase, contest or
compromise any adverse claim, encumbrance, charge or lien that in the judgment
of Beneficiary appears to be prior or superior to the lien of this Deed of
Trust, other than any Permitted Exceptions.

     6.4 Without obtaining the prior written consent of Beneficiary not to be
unreasonably withheld, Trustor shall not sell, transfer, convey, assign or
otherwise dispose of, or further encumber, all or any material part of the Trust
Property or any interest therein, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of
law or otherwise. If Trustor is a corporation, partnership, joint venture or
trust, any material change in the ownership or management of, or interest in,
Trustor, or any pledge or encumbrance of any interest in Trustor, shall be
deemed to be a transfer of the Trust Property. Upon the occurrence of any such
transaction with Beneficiary's consent, or without Beneficiary's consent if
Beneficiary elects not to exercise its rights and remedies for an Event of
Default, Beneficiary (i) may increase the interest rate on all or any part of
the Obligation as set forth in the Note; (ii) may charge a loan fee and a
processing fee in connection with the change; and (iii) shall not be obligated
to release Trustor from any liability hereunder or for the Obligation except to
the extent required by law. Consent to any such transaction shall not be deemed
to be consent or a waiver of the requirement of consent to any other such
transaction.

     6.5 Without obtaining the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Trustor
shall not consent to, or vote in favor of, the inclusion of all or any part of
the Trust Property in any Community Facilities District formed pursuant to the
Community Facilities District Act, A. R. S.

                                       13

<PAGE>

Section 48- 701, as amended from time to time. Trustor shall immediately give
notice to Beneficiary of any notification or advice that Trustor may receive
from any municipality or other third party of any intent or proposal to include
all or any part of the Trust Property in a Community Facilities District.
Beneficiary shall have the right to file a written objection to the inclusion of
all or any part of the Trust Property in a Community Facilities District, either
in its own name or in the name of Trustor, and to appear at, and participate in,
any hearing with respect to the formation of any such district.

     6.6 All rights, powers and remedies granted Beneficiary herein, or
otherwise available to Beneficiary, are for the sole benefit and protection of
Beneficiary, and Beneficiary may exercise any such right, power or remedy at its
option and in its sole and absolute discretion without any obligation to do so.
In addition, if, under the terms hereof, Beneficiary is given two or more
alternative courses of action, Beneficiary may elect any alternative or
combination of alternatives, at its option and in its sole and absolute
discretion. All monies advanced by Beneficiary under the terms hereof and all
amounts paid, suffered or incurred by Beneficiary in exercising any authority
granted herein, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be added to the
Obligation, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust, shall bear interest at the
highest rate payable on any of the Obligation until paid, and shall be due and
payable by Trustor to Beneficiary immediately without demand.

     6.7 Trustor, upon receipt of Beneficiary's reasonable written request,
shall promptly correct any defect, error or omission that may be discovered in
the content of this Deed of Trust or in the execution or acknowledgment hereof.
In addition, Trustor shall do such further acts as may be necessary or that
Beneficiary may reasonably request to carry out more effectively the purposes of
this Deed of Trust, to subject any property intended to be encumbered hereby to
the lien and security interest hereof, and to perfect and maintain the lien and
security interest hereof.

     6.8 When requested by Beneficiary, from time to time, Trustor shall
promptly deliver, in writing, such information as Beneficiary shall reasonably
request relating to the results of the financial operation of the Trust
Property. Upon ten (10) days' request, Beneficiary may have access to Trustor's
books and records to enable Beneficiary to verify the results of the financial
operation of the Trust Property.

States, payable at time of sale, all in accordance with applicable law. Trustee,
from time to time, may postpone or continue the sale of all or any portion of

for the sale. No other notice of the postponed sale shall be required. Upon any
sale, Trustee shall deliver its deed conveying the property sold, without any
covenant or warranty, express or implied, to the purchaser or purchasers at the

should proceed to dispose of any of the Personal Property in accordance with the
provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, ten (10) days' notice by Beneficiary
to Trustor shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice under any
provision of the Uniform Commercial Code requiring notice. Trustor, however,
agrees that all property of every nature and description, whether real or
personal, covered by this Deed of Trust, together with all personal property
used on or in connection with the Premises or any business conducted thereon by
the Trustor and covered by separate security agreements, is encumbered as one
unit, that this Deed of Trust and such security interests, at Beneficiary's
option, may be foreclosed or sold in the same proceeding, and that all property
encumbered (both realty and personalty), at Beneficiary's option, may be sold as
such in one unit as a going business, subject to the provisions of applicable
law.

          (e) Without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligation
or the solvency of Trustor or any other person or entity, send notifications to
any and all lessees and tenants under the Leases that all Rents shall be paid to
Beneficiary. Thereafter, Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect the Rents
until Trustor cures all Events of Default and may apply the Rents collected at
its sole discretion to the maintenance of the Trust Property and/or the payment
of the Obligation.

          (f) Apply any funds in the possession or control of Beneficiary under
the provisions of Paragraph 5.6 hereof to the payment of the Obligation, in lieu
of the purposes specified in that paragraph.

          (g) Apply for and obtain, without regard to the adequacy of any
security for the Obligation or the solvency of the Trustor or any other person
or entity, a receiver by any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of
all the Trust Property, to manage, operate and carry on any business then being
conducted or that could be conducted on the Premises, to carry

                                       17

<PAGE>

on, protect, preserve, replace and repair the Trust Property, and receive and
collect all Rents and to apply the same to pay the receiver's expenses for the
operation of the Trust Property and then in the manner provided in Paragraph 3.3
herein. Upon appointment of said receiver, Trustor shall immediately deliver
possession of all of the Trust Property to such receiver. Neither the
appointment of a receiver for the Trust Property by any court at the request of
Beneficiary or by agreement with Trustor nor the entering into possession of all
or any part of the Trust Property by such receiver shall constitute Beneficiary
a "mortgagee in possession" or otherwise make Beneficiary responsible or liable
in any manner with respect to the Trust Property or the occupancy, operation or
use thereof. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary shall have the absolute and
unconditional right to the appointment of a receiver in any independent and/or
separate action brought by Beneficiary regardless of whether Beneficiary seeks
any relief in such action other than the appointment of a receiver. In that
respect, Trustor waives any express or implied requirement under common law or
A.R.S. Section 12-1241 that a receiver may be appointed only ancillary to other
judicial or non-judicial relief.

          (h) Without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligation
or the solvency of Trustor or any other person or entity, enter upon and take
possession of all or any part of the Trust Property, either in person or by
agent or employee, or by a receiver appointed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; Trustor shall on written demand peaceably surrender possession of
the Trust Property to Beneficiary. Beneficiary, in its own name or in the name
of Trustor, may operate and maintain all or any part of the Trust Property to
such extent as Beneficiary deems advisable, may rent and lease the same to such
persons, for such periods of time, and on such terms and conditions as
Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion may determine, and may sue for or
otherwise collect any and all Rents, including those past due and unpaid. In
dealing with the Trust Property as a beneficiary in possession, Beneficiary
shall not be subject to any liability, charge, or obligation therefor to
Trustor, other than for gross negligence and willful misconduct, and shall be
entitled to operate any business then being conducted or which could be
conducted thereon or therewith at the expense of and for the account of Trustor
(and all net losses, costs and expenses thereby incurred shall be advances
governed by Paragraph 6.6 hereof), to the same extent as the owner thereof could
do, and to apply the Rents to pay the receiver's expenses, if any, for the
operation of the Trust Property and then in the manner provided in Paragraph 3.3
herein.

     8.3 Trustor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including without
limitation costs of title searches and title policy commitments, Uniform
Commercial Code searches, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred
by Beneficiary in enforcing payment. and performance of the Obligation or in
exercising the rights and remedies of Beneficiary hereunder. All such costs and
expenses shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and by all other lien and
security documents securing the Obligation. In the event of any court
proceedings, court costs and attorneys' fees shall be set by the court and not
by jury and shall be included in any judgment obtained by Beneficiary.

     8.4 In addition to any remedies provided herein for an Event of Default,
Beneficiary shall have all other legal or equitable remedies allowed under
applicable law (including specifically that of foreclosure of this instrument as
though it were a mortgage). No failure on the part of Beneficiary to exercise
any of its rights hereunder arising upon any Event of Default shall

be construed to prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any other or
subsequent Event of Default. No delay on the part of Beneficiary in exercising
any such rights shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at
any time while that Event of Default is continuing. Beneficiary may enforce any
one or more remedies or rights hereunder successively or concurrently. By
accepting payment or performance of any of the Obligation after its due date,
Beneficiary shall not thereby waive the agreement contained herein that time is
of the essence, nor shall Beneficiary waive either its right to require prompt
payment or performance when due of the remainder of the Obligation or its right
to consider the failure to so pay or perform an Event of Default. In any action
by Beneficiary to recover a deficiency judgment for any balance due under the
Note upon the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or in any action to recover the
Obligation or Obligations secured hereby, and as a material inducement to making
the loan evidenced by the Note, Trustor acknowledges and agrees that the
successful bid amount made at any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale, if
any, shall be conclusively deemed to constitute the fair market value of the
Premises, that such bid amount shall be binding against Trustor in any
proceeding seeking to determine or contest the fair market value of the Premises
and that such bid amount shall be the preferred alternative means of determining
and establishing the fair market value of the Premises. Trustor hereby waives
and relinquishes any right to have the fair market value of the Premises
determined by a judge or jury in any action seeking a deficiency judgment or any
action on the Obligation or Obligations secured hereby, including, without
limitation, a hearing to determine fair market value pursuant to A.R.S.
Section 12-1566, Section 33-814, Section 33-725 or Section 33-727.

SECTION 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     9.1 Trustor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary, any
successors to Beneficiary's interest in the Trust Property, any purchaser of the
Trust Property upon foreclosure, and all shareholders, directors, officers,
employees and agents of all of the foregoing and their heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns from and against all claims, costs,
expenses, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, damages and liabilities of any
kind whatsoever, including but not limited to all amounts paid in settlement of,
and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred in defending or settling, any actual or threatened claim, action, suit
or proceeding, directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to the
Obligation, this Deed of Trust, or the Trust Property, occurring from and after
the sale of the Trust Property to Trustor, including but not limited to (i) any
violation of or claim of violation of the ADA with respect to the Trust
Property; or (ii) any breach of any of the warranties, representations and
covenants contained herein. This indemnity provision shall continue in full
force and effect and shall survive the payment and performance of the
Obligation, the release of record of the lien of this Deed of Trust, any
foreclosure (or action in lieu of foreclosure) of this Deed of Trust, the
exercise by Beneficiary of any other remedy under this Deed of Trust or any
other document or instrument evidencing or securing the Obligation, and any
suit, proceeding or judgment against Trustor by Beneficiary hereon.

     9.2 The acceptance of this Deed of Trust by Beneficiary shall not be
considered a waiver of or in any way to affect or impair any other security that
Beneficiary may have, acquire simultaneously herewith, or hereafter acquire for
the payment or performance of the Obligation, nor shall the taking by
Beneficiary at any time of any such additional security be construed as a

                                       19

<PAGE>

waiver of or in any way to affect or impair the security of this Deed of Trust;
Beneficiary may resort, for the payment or performance of the Obligation, to its
several securities therefor in such order and manner as it may determine.

     9.3 Without notice or demand, without affecting the obligations of Trustor
hereunder or the personal liability of any person for payment or performance of
the Obligation, and without affecting the lien or the priority of the lien of
this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary, from time to time, may: (i) extend the time for
payment of all or any part of the Obligation, accept a renewal note therefor,
reduce the payments thereon, release any person liable for all or any part
thereof, or otherwise change the terms of all or any part of the Obligation;
(ii) take and hold other security for the payment or performance of the
Obligation and enforce, exchange, substitute, subordinate, waive or release any
such security; (iii) consent to the making of any map or plat of the Trust
Property; (iv) join in granting any easement on or in creating any covenants,
conditions or restrictions affecting the use or occupancy of the Trust Property;
(v) join in any extension or subordination agreement; or (vi) release or direct
Trustee to release any part of the Trust Property from this Deed of Trust. Any
such action by Beneficiary, or Trustee at Beneficiary's direction, may be taken
without the consent of any junior lienholder and shall not affect the priority
of this Deed of Trust over any junior lien.

     9.4 Trustor waives and agrees not to assert: (i) any right to require
Beneficiary to proceed against any guarantor, to proceed against or exhaust any
other security for the Obligation, to pursue any other remedy available to
Beneficiary, or to pursue any remedy in any particular order or manner; (ii) the
benefits of any legal or equitable doctrine or principle of marshalling; (iii)
the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting the enforcement hereof;
(iv) demand, diligence, presentment for payment, protest and demand, and notice
of extension, dishonor, protest, demand and nonpayment, relating to the
Obligation; and (v) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any other
security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary.

     9.5 When all of the Obligation has been paid, Trustee (and Beneficiary if
necessary to clear title), upon payment of Trustee's fees, shall promptly
reconvey, without warranty, the Trust Property to Trustor and Beneficiary shall
promptly deliver to Trustor the Note marked canceled and the Deed of Trust
whereupon this Deed of Trust shall be terminated for all purposes. The recitals
in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive as to the
accuracy thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as "the
person or persons legally entitled thereto."

     9.6 Beneficiary or Trustee, or both, shall have the right to inspect the
Trust Property at all reasonable times.

     9.7 Time is of the essence hereof. If more than one Trustor is named
herein, the word "Trustor" shall mean all and any one or more of them, severally
and collectively. All liability hereunder shall be joint and several. This Deed
of Trust shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties
hereto and their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. The
term "Beneficiary" shall include not only the original Beneficiary hereunder but
also any future owner and holder, including pledgees, of the Note. The
provisions hereof shall apply to

                                       20

<PAGE>

the parties according to the context thereof and without regard to the number or
gender of words or expressions used.

     9.8 The acceptance by Trustee of this trust shall be evidenced when this
Deed of Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as
provided by law. The trust created hereby is irrevocable by Trustor.

     9.9 This Deed of Trust cannot be changed except by agreement, in writing,
signed by Trustor and Beneficiary.

     9.10 No setoff or claim that Trustor now has or may in the future have
against Beneficiary shall relieve Trustor from paying or performing the
Obligation.

     9.11 Each term, condition and provision of this Deed of Trust shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but
if any term, condition or provision of this Deed of Trust shall be held to be
void or invalid, the same shall not affect the remainder hereof which shall be
effective as though the void or invalid term, condition or provision had not
been contained herein. In addition, should this instrument be or become
ineffective as a deed of trust, then these presents shall be construed and
enforced as a realty mortgage with the Trustor being the Mortgagor and
Beneficiary being the Mortgagee.

     9.12 This Deed of Trust, the Obligation and the agreements of any person or
entity to pay or perform the Obligation shall be governed by and construed
according to the laws of the State of Arizona.

     9.13 All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given in person or by United States mail, by delivery service
or by electronic transmission. Any notice directed to a party to this Deed of
Trust shall become effective upon the earliest of the following: (i) actual
receipt by that party; (ii) delivery to the designated address of that party,
addressed to that party; or (iii) if given by certified or registered United
States mail, twenty-four (24) hours after deposit with the United States Postal
Service, postage prepaid, addressed to that party at its designated address. The
designated address of a party shall be the address of that party shown at the
beginning of this Deed of Trust or such other address as that party, from time
to time, may specify by notice to the other parties.

     9.14 As further security for the payment and performance of the Obligation,
Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the lien, although released of record, of any
and all encumbrances paid from the proceeds of any loan included in the
Obligation.

               hereinafter defined), or the Company asserts such failure,
               provided however, the Company shall have a period of ten (10)
               Business Days within which to cure this deficiency and perfect
               the Holder's first priority lien in the Johnson Camp Collateral.

          (b) Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence, and at any time during
the continuance of, any Default, Holder, upon notice in writing to the Company,
may declare all unpaid principal of the Note and the interest thereon to be
immediately due and payable and the same shall become immediately due and
payable upon such declaration and Holder may pursue any remedy available to
Holder at law or in equity; provided, however, that in the event of any Default
under clauses (4) or (5) above, all unpaid principal hereof and interest
hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without the
need for declaration, presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind.

     4. MANDATORY REPURCHASE OF NOTES. As soon as possible, and in any event
within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of a Mandatory Repurchase
Event (as defined below), the Company shall furnish to Holder written notice
setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances underlying such
Mandatory Repurchase Event. The occurrence of any such Mandatory Repurchase
Event shall constitute an irrevocable offer by the Company to purchase all of
the Notes held by Holder, at 101% of the principal amount thereof, on a date to
be specified by the Company, which date shall be not less than thirty (30) days
nor more than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Mandatory Repurchase
Event, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so purchased
through the date of purchase. Following receipt of any offer to prepay the Notes
hereunder, Holder shall advise the Company, by written notice, within ten (10)
days after receipt of such offer, as to whether it desires to sell all, but not
less than all of the Notes held by it (in integral multiples of $500,000),
specifying the principal amount of the Notes to be sold by it. If Holder accepts
such offer but does not specify an amount it wishes to receive, it will be
deemed to have elected to sell all of the Notes held by it.

     5. MANDATORY REPURCHASE EVENT. "Mandatory Repurchase Event" shall mean at
any time prior to or after a public offering (i) any person together with all
affiliates and associates of such person, shall become the beneficial owner,

or merger, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, shares representing in the
aggregate at least 51% or more of the voting shares of the corporation issuing
cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent
corporation, if any), (b) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one
transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as
a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (c) any
plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (iv) the

however, that the Company shall reimburse Holder for any premiums, penalties or
other costs incurred by Holder on account of the Company's prepayment of this
Note.

          Corporation so requests, the Holder shall certify to the Corporation
          that it is not exercising such Warrants with a view to distribute the
          Warrant Shares in violation of the Securities Act, and shall provide
          such other investor representations as the Corporation may require to
          confirm the ability of the Corporation to rely upon the exemption from

          distribution of Warrant Shares at the time of such distribution.

          to the issuance thereof (other than those which the Corporation shall
          promptly pay or discharge, or any liens created thereon by the Holder
          thereof and/or any predecessor of such Holder).

     (b)  The Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver any Warrant Shares
          pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby unless and
          until a registration statement under the Securities Act and/or under
          any applicable state securities laws and regulations, with respect to
          such securities is effective, or an exemption from such registration
          is available to the Corporation at the time of such exercise. The
          Corporation covenants that if any Warrant Shares reserved for the
          purpose of exercise of Warrants hereunder require registration with,
          or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state
          securities law before such securities may be validly issued or
          delivered upon such exercise, then the Corporation will in good faith
          and as expeditiously as reasonably possible, endeavor to secure such
          registration or approval. However, in the event that this Warrant
          Certificate represents Warrants which have been transferred by an
          initial holder thereof, the Warrants represented hereby may not be
          exercised by, nor shares of Common Stock issued to, the Holder hereof
          in any state in which such exercise and issuance would be unlawful. If
          the Holder exercises its right to purchase Warrant Shares following
          the initial public offering of the Corporation's Common Stock, the
          Warrant Shares issuable to the Holder upon exercise of the Warrants
          will be registered under the Securities Act and freely tradeable by
          the Holder.

     (c)  The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar taxes and
          other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the
          issuance of the Warrants, or the issuance or delivery of any shares of
          Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that if
          the shares of Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than
          the name of the Holder hereof, then no such

                                        5

<PAGE>

          delivery shall be made unless the person requesting the same has paid
          to the Corporation the amount of transfer taxes or charges incident
          thereto, if any.

SECTION 4. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence
     satisfactory to it of the ownership of, and loss, theft, destruction or
     mutilation of, this Warrant Certificate and (in case of loss, theft or
     destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation, and (in the case
     of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Corporation
     shall execute and deliver to the Holder in lieu thereof a new Warrant
     Certificate of like tenor representing an equal aggregate number of
     Warrants as was indicated to be outstanding on the prior lost or mutilated
     Warrant Certificate (provided, however, that to the extent that any
     discrepancy may exist between the number of Warrants purported to be
     outstanding in respect of any Holder as evidenced by a Warrant Certificate
     that has been lost or mutilated and the number attributable to such Holder
     in the Warrant Registry, then the Warrant Registry shall control for all
     purposes, absent a showing of manifest error. Each Holder requesting a
     substitute Warrant Certificate due to loss, theft or destruction shall,
     prior to receiving such substitute certificate, provide an affidavit to the
     Corporation in the form prescribed thereby and signed by (and notarized on
     behalf of) such Holder. Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate
     shall comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other
     reasonable charges as the Corporation may prescribe.

SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES OR
     WARRANTS.

     (a)  Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate and applicable
          law, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to
          time after the date hereof, issue any shares of Common Stock as a
          stock dividend to the holders of Common Stock, or subdivide or combine
          the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number
          of shares (any such sale, issuance, subdivision or combination being
          herein called a "Change of Shares"), then, and thereafter upon each
          further Change of Shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately
          prior to such Change of Shares shall be reduced, but in no event
          increased, to a price (the "Adjusted Purchase Price") determined by
          multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
          Change of Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
          sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
          prior to the issuance of such additional shares plus the number of
          shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by
          the Corporation would purchase at such Purchase Price, and the
          denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of
          Common Stock

                                        6

<PAGE>

          outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares.
          Such adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be made successively
          whenever an issuance is made after a Change of Shares has occurred.

          Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section
          5(a), the total number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
          exercise of each Warrant shall become (subject to the provisions
          contained in Section 5(b) hereof) such number of shares (calculated to
          the nearest tenth) purchasable at the Purchase Price in effect
          immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the
          numerator of which shall be the Purchase Price in effect immediately
          prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the
          applicable Adjusted Purchase Price (rounded to the nearest whole
          number of shares). No fractional shares shall be issued or called for
          as a result of any adjustment made hereunder.

     (b)  The Corporation may elect, at its sole discretion, upon any adjustment
          of the Purchase Price hereunder, to adjust the number of Warrants
          outstanding, in lieu of adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares
          purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant as hereinabove provided,
          so that each Warrant outstanding after such adjustment shall represent
          the right to purchase one Warrant Share. Each Warrant held of record
          prior to such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall become that
          number of Warrants (calculated to the nearest tenth) determined by
          multiplying the number one by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
          be the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment
          and the denominator of which shall be the Adjusted Purchase Price.
          Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrants pursuant to this
          Section 5(b), the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable, cause
          to be distributed to each Holder of Warrant Certificates, on the date
          of such adjustment, Warrant Certificates evidencing the adjusted
          number of Warrants to which such Holder shall be entitled as a result
          of such adjustment or, at the sole option of the Corporation, cause to
          be distributed to such Holder in substitution and replacement for the
          Warrant Certificates held by him prior to the date of adjustment, and
          upon surrender thereof, (if required by the Corporation) new Warrant
          Certificates evidencing the aggregate number of Warrants to which such
          Holder shall be entitled after such adjustment.

     (c)  In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other
          change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or in case of any
          consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another

                                        7

<PAGE>

          corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
          Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in
          any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
          outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in case of any sale or
          conveyance to another corporation of all, or substantially all, of the
          property of the Corporation (other than a sale/leaseback, mortgage or
          other financing transaction), the Corporation shall cause effective
          provision to be made so that each holder of a Warrant then outstanding
          shall have the right thereafter, by exercising such Warrant, to
          purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or
          property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification,
          capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale or
          conveyance by a holder of the number of Warrant Shares that might have
          been purchased upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such
          reclassification, capital reorganization or other change,
          consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall
          include provision for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent
          as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section
          5 upon a Change of Shares. The Corporation shall not effect any such
          consolidation, merger or sale without the written consent of Holders
          of a majority of the Warrants then outstanding, unless prior to or
          simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor (if other
          than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or
          the corporation purchasing assets or other appropriate corporation or
          entity shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to
          the Corporation, the obligation to deliver to the holder of each
          Warrant such substitute warrants, shares of stock, securities or
          assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holders
          may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations of the
          Corporation set out in this Certificate. The foregoing provisions
          shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital
          reorganizations and other changes of outstanding shares of Common
          Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

     (d)  Irrespective of any adjustments or changes in the Purchase Price or
          the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the
          Warrants, all Warrant Certificates issued (whether prior to or
          subsequent to any event causing an adjustment thereof) shall continue
          to express the Purchase Price per share, and the number of shares
          purchasable thereunder as originally expressed in the Warrant
          Certificate initially issued to any Holder.

     (e)  After each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section
          5, the Corporation will promptly prepare a certificate

                                        8

<PAGE>

          signed by the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer, and attested by the
          Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Corporation setting forth:
          (i) the Purchase Price as so adjusted, (ii) the number of shares of
          Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after such
          adjustment or, if the Corporation shall have elected to adjust the
          number of Warrants, the number of Warrants to which the Holder of each
          Warrant shall then be entitled, and (iii) a brief statement of the
          facts accounting for such adjustment. The Corporation will promptly
          cause a brief summary thereof to be sent by ordinary first class mail
          to each Holder of Warrants at his or her last address as it shall
          appear on the registry books of the Corporation. No failure to mail
          such notice nor any defect therein nor in the mailing thereof shall
          affect the validity thereof. The affidavit of the Secretary or an
          Assistant Secretary of the Corporation that such notice has been
          mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the
          facts stated therein.

     (f)  As used in this Section 5, references to "Common Stock" shall mean and
          include all of the Corporation's Common Stock authorized on the date
          hereof and shall also include any capital stock of any class of the
          Corporation thereafter authorized which shall not be limited to a
          fixed sum or percentage in respect of the rights of the holders
          thereof to participate in dividends and in the distribution of assets
          upon the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
          Corporation; provided, however, that "Warrant Shares" shall include
          only shares of such class designated in the Corporation's Certificate
          of Incorporation as Common Stock on the date hereof or (i) in the case
          of any reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
          conveyance of the character referred to in Section 5(c) hereof, the
          stock, securities or property provided for in such section, or (ii) in
          the case of any reclassification or change in the outstanding shares
          of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as a result of
          a subdivision or combination or consisting of a change in par value,
          or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value,
          such shares of Common Stock as so reclassified or changed.

     (g)  Any determination as to whether an adjustment in the Purchase Price in
          effect hereunder is required pursuant to this Section 5, or as to the
          amount of any such adjustment, if required, shall be binding upon all
          holders of Warrants and the Corporation if made in good faith by the
          Board of Directors of the Corporation. For purposes of this Section
          5(g), the Corporation's Board of Directors shall be deemed to have
          acted in good faith if it makes any such decision in reliance upon
          advice of its legal counsel and/or another

                                        9

          independent professional hired to advise the Board on such matters.

SECTION 6. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND.

     (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, each certificate
          evidencing the issuance of Warrant Shares (whether issued in the name
          of the original Holder of this Certificate or of any subsequent
          transferee thereof), shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a
          legend in substantially the following form:

               "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
               REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, NOR
               REGISTERED NOR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH
               SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE,
               TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS QUALIFIED AND
               REGISTERED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS OR
               UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO NORD RESOURCES
               CORPORATION, SUCH QUALIFICATION AND REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
               NO TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH SHARE SHALL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNTIL
               SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED."

     (b)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, each Warrant
          Certificate shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
          substantially the following form:

               "THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
               THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, NOR REGISTERED NOR
               QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH WARRANTS MAY NOT
               BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED,
               PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS QUALIFIED AND REGISTERED UNDER
               APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS, IN THE
               WRITTEN OPINION OF

                                       10

<PAGE>

               COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO NORD RESOURCES CORPORATION, SUCH
               QUALIFICATION AND REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. NO TRANSFER OF
               ANY SUCH WARRANT SHALL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNTIL SUCH
               CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED."

     (c)  The legend requirements of Sections 6(a) and 6(b) above shall
          terminate as to any particular Warrant or Warrant Share: (i) when and
          so long as such security shall have been effectively registered under
          the Securities Act and is disposed of pursuant thereto; or (ii) when
          the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably
          satisfactory to it that such shares may be sold to the public without
          registration thereof under the Securities Act. Whenever the legend
          requirements imposed by this Section 6 shall terminate as to any
          Warrant Share, as hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof shall be
          entitled to receive from the Corporation, at the Corporation's
          expense, a new certificate representing such Warrant Shares and not
          bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 6(a).

SECTION 7. RIGHTS OF ACTION. All rights of action with respect to the Warrants
     are vested in the Holders of the Warrants, and any Holder of a Warrant,
     without consent of the holder of any other Warrant, may, in such Holder's
     own behalf and for his own benefit, enforce against the Company his right
     to exercise his Warrants for the purchase of Warrant Shares in the manner
     provided in this Warrant Certificate.

SECTION 8. AGREEMENT OF WARRANT HOLDERS. Every holder of a Warrant, by his or
     her acceptance thereof, consents and agrees with the Corporation and every
     other holder of a Warrant that:

     (a)  The Warrant Registry shall be maintained by the Corporation's
          Secretary, and shall be the official register of all Warrants issued
          to any person in the Offering. The Warrant Registry shall be
          dispositive as to the issuance, ownership, transfer and other aspects
          of each Warrant issued by the Corporation which are recorded therein
          and, absent manifest error, such records shall control for all
          purposes.

     (b)  The Warrants are transferable only on the Warrant Registry by the
          Holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing
          and only if the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants are
          surrendered at the Corporate Office of the Corporation, duly endorsed
          or accompanied by a proper instrument

                                       11

<PAGE>

          of transfer satisfactory to the Corporation in its sole discretion,
          together with payment of the amount of any applicable transfer taxes;
          and

     (c)  The Corporation may deem and treat the person in whose name the
          Warrant Certificate is registered on the Warrant Registry as the
          holder and as the absolute, true and lawful owner of the Warrants
          represented thereby for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be
          affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary, except as
          otherwise expressly provided in this Certificate.

SECTION 9. MODIFICATION OF WARRANTS. Other than with respect to any adjustment
     made by the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Section 5
     hereof, this Certificate may only be modified, supplemented or altered by
     the Corporation, and only with the consent in writing of the Holders of
     Warrants representing greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total
     Warrants then outstanding; provided, that no change in the number or nature
     of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant, or the
     acceleration of the Exercise Date, shall be made without the consent in
     writing of the Holder of the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrant,
     other than such changes as are specifically prescribed by this Certificate
     as originally executed or are made in compliance with applicable law.

SECTION 10. NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents and other communications
     hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been made when
     delivered or mailed first class registered or certified mail, postage
     prepaid as follows: if to the Holder of a Warrant Certificate, at the
     address of such Holder as shown on the Warrant Registry maintained by the
     Corporation; and if to the Corporation, at 3048 Seven Dash Road, Dragoon,
     AZ 85609, or such other place as may be designated by the Corporation from
     time to time in accordance with this Section 10.

SECTION 11. GOVERNING LAW. This Certificate shall be governed by and construed
     in accordance with the corporations laws of the State of Delaware, without
     giving effect to the law of conflicts of laws applied thereby. In the event
     that any dispute shall occur between the parties arising out of or
     resulting from the construction, interpretation, enforcement or any other
     aspect of this Certificate, the parties hereby agree to accept the
     exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of Delaware. In the event
     either party shall be forced to bring any legal action to protect or defend
     its rights hereunder, then the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be
     entitled to reimbursement from the non-prevailing party of all fees, costs
     and other expenses (including,

                                       12

<PAGE>

     without limitation, the reasonable expenses of its attorneys) in bringing
     or defending against such action.

SECTION 12. ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING. This Certificate contains the entire
     understanding among the Corporation and the Holder relating to the subject
     matter covered herein, and merges all prior discussions, negotiations and
     agreements, if any between them. Neither of the parties to this agreement
     shall be bound by any representations, warranties, covenants, or other
     understandings relating to such subject matter, other than as expressly
     provided for or referred to herein.

                                   SCHEDULE 1

Except as expressly disclosed on Appendix I delivered to Holder together with
this Note, and which is hereby incorporated herein by reference as an integral
part of this Schedule 1, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Holder,
as of the date of this Note, the following:

          (a) Organization. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
     existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
     with full power and authority, and all necessary consents, authorizations,
     approvals, orders, licenses, certificates, and permits of and from, and
     declarations and filings with all Federal, state, local, foreign, and other
     governmental authorities and all courts and other tribunals, to own, lease,
     license and use its properties and assets, and to carry on its business or
     proposed business as required. The Company is duly licensed and qualified
     to do business and be in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the
     ownership, leasing, licensing or use of property and assets or the conduct
     of its business makes such qualification necessary. The Company has no
     subsidiaries.

          (b) Capitalization. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital
     stock of the Company has been validly issued, and consists of 28,789,240
     fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's common stock and
     6,497,249 warrants and options to purchase common stock. There are no other
     classes of capital stock or other securities authorized or issued by the
     Company. The Company has no obligation (contingent or otherwise) to pay any
     dividend or make any other distribution in respect of its capital stock.
     There exist no voting trusts or agreements, stockholders' agreements,
     pledge agreements, buy-sell agreements, rights of first refusal or proxies
     relating to any securities of the Company. The Company has no obligation
     (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any
     shares of its capital stock. There is no commitment by the Company to issue
     shares, subscriptions, warrants, options, preemptive rights, convertible
     securities or other such rights or to distribute to holders of any of its
     equity securities any evidence of indebtedness or asset.

          (c) Financial Statements. The unaudited balance sheet of the Company
     for the year ended December 31, 2004, the related unaudited statements of

     be in material breach of any term of any of the Loan Documents nor will any

     violation of, or noncompliance with which, would have a material adverse
     effect on the Company's business or operations, and the Company knows of no
     facts or set of circumstances which, to its knowledge, would give rise to
     such a notice. The Company has all licenses and permits and other
     governmental certificates, authorizations and permits and approvals
     (collectively, "Governmental Licenses") required by every Federal, state
     and local government or regulatory body for the operation of its business
     and the use of its properties where the failure to obtain or possess such

     of any Governmental License and no proceeding is pending or threatened to
     revoke or limit any thereof. The Company has not received any written

     condition, financial or otherwise.

          (n) Authorization. The execution and delivery of the Note and the
     other Loan Documents has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
     action of the Company, and when so executed and delivered, the Note and the
     other Loan Documents will constitute the valid and binding obligation of
     the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
     terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
     reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and
     remedies generally and general principles of equity. The issuance of the

     of trust, note, credit or lease agreement or other material agreement or
     instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its
     property is bound or affected, except for such conflict, breach or default
     as to which requisite waivers or consents shall have been obtained by the
     Company.

     insured against all risks usually insured against by persons owning or
     operating similar properties and assets in the localities where such
     properties or assets are located, through insurance policies all of which
     are in full force and effect. The Company is insured against all claims
     relating to its activities to the same extent that the risks of such claims
     are usually insured against by persons or entities involved in similar
     activities. Each of the insurance policies referred to in this section is
     issued by an insurer of recognized responsibility, and the Company has not
     received any notice or threat of the cancellation or nonrenewal of any such
     policy.

     labor dispute with the employees of the Company exists, or is imminent.

     of the Company nor any "affiliate" or "associate" of such persons (as such
     terms are defined in the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act)
     (herein, a "Related Party") is a party to any agreement with the Company
     including, without limitation, any contract, agreement or other arrangement
     providing for the rental of real or personal property from, or otherwise

received any communication from him requesting that any accrued pension payments
be made to him and his whereabouts are unknown at this time. In the event that
Mr. Roettele does have a ligitimite claim, the Company may consider the
possibility of a share issuance in exchange for any accrued pension payments.

(15) The Company has a contingent right of first refusal to acquire from Ronald
A. Hirsch and Steven Seymour, two of the Company's directors, a right of first
refusal to acquire all of their respective interest (to the extent they acquire
any such interest at any time and from time to time during the term of this
Agreement) in the proposed Asset Purchase Agreement which they may (but are not
obligated to) enter into with ASARCO, a New Jersey corporation ("ASARCO") and
providing for the sale by ASARCO of its Tennessee Mining Division, a zinc
operation (the "Purchase Agreement"). By written consent dated October 14, 2004,
the Company assigned any and all rights, title and interest it had in and to the
Purchase Agreement to Messrs. Hirsch and Seymour, in consideration for the right
of first refusal.

(16) About August 19, 2005, the Company received a letter from Mr. Walter Belous
in which he requested payment from the Company in the amount of $43,750 due to
accrued

pension payments since his retirement as a Director of the Company. On August
25, 2005, the Company sent a letter to Mr. Belous stating that since his
retirement, the Company instituted new management and a new infrastructure and
therefore, the Company's current management was unaware of his claim. Further,
the letter from the Company requested that Mr. Belous provide documentation and
evidence to Ron Hirsch so that an investigation may commence regarding his claim
for accrued pension payments. On or about September 9, 2005, the Company
received another letter dated September 2, 2005 with the requested information.
The Company's corporate counsel, August Law Group, P.C., will be sending a
response to Mr. Belous to discuss the funding issues of the Company and the
possibility of a share issuance in exchange for any accrued pension payments.

(17) If the claim above from Mr. Walter Belous is legitimite, there is one (1)
other former director of the Company, Donald L. Roettele, who may also qualify
for accrued pension payments. However, at this time, the Company has not
received any communication from him requesting that any accrued pension payments
be made to him and his whereabouts are unknown at this time. In the event that
Mr. Roettele does have a ligitimite claim, the Company may consider the
possibility of a share issuance in exchange for any accrued pension payments.

(18) As of October 3, 2005, the Company is indebted to its Employees, Officers,
Directors, and Affiliates as follows:

(3) On or about October 30, 2002 the Company entered into a loan agreement with
McGuire Machinery Inc., having a place of business located at 85 Riverwood
Drive, Grayson, Kentucky 41143, such loan agreement evidenced by a Promissory
Note for the amount of Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($95,000). As collateral for
the loan, the Promissory Note is secured by the Company's "Ingersol Rand DM45E
Blasthole Drill, Serial Number 7301."

(4) On June 30, 2004, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit
Agreement (the "Line of Credit Agreement") with Ronald A. Hirsch and Stephen
Seymour (the "Lenders") in the principal amount of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars
($600,000.00), which matures on December 31, 2005. Pursuant to the Line of
Credit Agreement, the Company executed and delivered to the Lenders a secured
promissory note in the amount of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) and the
Company and the Lenders entered into a Security Agreement (the "Security
Agreement"). The Company also agreed to issue to the Lenders four (4) shares of
the Company's common stock and four (4) warrants for every One Dollar ($1.00)
loaned to the Company in Advances (as such term in defined in the Line of Credit
Agreement). Each Warrant enables the Lenders to purchase one share of the
Company's common stock for an exercise price of Twenty-Five Cents ($0.25) for
three (3) years. The Shares and Warrants

owed to the Lenders for any particular Advance shall be issued in the names of
the Lenders, in accordance with instructions from the Lenders, within ten (10)
days of an Advance. The Lenders agreed that the shares and warrants described
above are "restricted securities" as defined by SEC Rule 144; however, the
Company agreed to register for sale the shares and the shares of common stock
underlying the warrants on any registration statement that the Company files
during the next ten (10) years with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
except for any registration statement filed on Form S-8.

(5) About August 19, 2005, the Company received a letter from Mr. Walter Belous
in which he requested payment from the Company in the amount of $43,750 due to
accrued pension payments since his retirement as a Director of the Company. On
August 25, 2005, the Company sent a letter to Mr. Belous stating that since his
retirement, the Company instituted new management and a new infrastructure and
therefore, the Company's current management was unaware of his claim. Further,
the letter from the Company requested that Mr. Belous provide documentation and
evidence to Ron Hirsch so that an investigation may commence regarding his claim
for accrued pension payments. On or about September 9, 2005, the Company
received another letter dated September 2, 2005 with the requested information.
The Company's corporate counsel, August Law Group, P.C., will be sending a
response to Mr. Belous to discuss the funding issues of the Company and the
possibility of a share issuance in exchange for any accrued pension payments.

(6) If the claim above from Mr. Walter Belous is legitimite, there is one (1)
other former director of the Company, Donald L. Roettele, who may also qualify
for accrued pension payments. However, at this time, the Company has not
received any communication from him requesting that any accrued pension payments
be made to him and his whereabouts are unknown at this time. In the event that
Mr. Roettele does have a ligitimite claim, the Company may consider the
possibility of a share issuance in exchange for any accrued pension payments.

(1.9) CONFLICTING AGREEMENTS.

(1) On June 30, 2004, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit
Agreement (the "Line of Credit Agreement") with Ronald A. Hirsch and Stephen
Seymour (the "Lenders") in the principal amount of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars
($600,000.00), which has an interest rate of 6% and which had an original
maturity date of December 31, 2005. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of that
certain Subordination Agreement between Lenders and Auramet Trading, LLC, the
maturity date of the Line of Credit Agreement has been extended to immediately
after all sums due and payable under the Loan are paid. If any extensions to the
Line of Credit are granted by the Lenders, this will require the Company to pay
additional interest payments, which may impair the Company from making timely
payments pursuant to that certain Secured Promissory Note to be entered into
between the Company and Nedbank Limited.

Pursuant to the Line of Credit Agreement, the Company also executed and
delivered to the Lenders a secured promissory note in the amount of Six Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($600,000) and the Company and the Lenders entered into a
Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement"). The Company also agreed to issue
to the Lenders four (4) shares of the Company's common stock and four (4)
warrants for every One Dollar ($1.00) loaned to the Company in Advances (as such
term in defined in the Line of Credit Agreement). Each Warrant enables the
Lenders to purchase one share of the Company's common stock for an exercise
price of Twenty-Five Cents ($0.25) for three (3) years. The Shares and Warrants
owed to the Lenders for any particular Advance shall be issued in the names of
the Lenders, in accordance with instructions from the Lenders, within ten (10)
days of an Advance. The Lenders agreed that the shares and warrants described
above are "restricted securities" as defined by SEC Rule 144; however, the
Company agreed to register for sale the shares and the shares of common stock
underlying the warrants on any registration statement that the Company files
during the next ten (10) years with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
except for any registration statement filed on Form S-8.

(1) The Company is delinquent in the filing of periodic reports required under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and has therefore been a non-reporting
company listed in the Pink Sheets stock market since the year 2000. The Company
is currently in the process of completing the audits necessary to bring current
its periodic reports under the Exchange Act, and its legal counsel has been in
discussion with the Securities and Exchange Commission about the filing of a
comprehensive annual report on Form 10-KSB to bring the Company back into
compliance once the audits are completed.

                                   SCHEDULE 2

     The Company covenants and agrees that for so long as the Note is
outstanding or any amounts remain due and payable to Holder hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, it shall observe and abide by each of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Schedule 2, unless consented to in writing in
advance by Holder or otherwise permitted hereunder.

     1.1 Indebtedness. Other than the Indebtedness described on Appendix I, the
Company will not create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist, any Indebtedness,
except: (a) this Note (as the same may be extended, increased, renewed or
refunded from time to time by mutual agreement of the parties); (b) accounts
payable to trade creditors and current operating expenses; or (c) Indebtedness
that is subordinated in favor of the Holder.

     1.2 Liens. Without the prior written consent of Holder, which consent may
be given or denied at Holder's sole discretion, other than Permitted Liens (as
defined below), the Company will not (i) create or incur or suffer to be created
or incurred or to exist any lien, encumbrance, mortgage, pledge, charge,
restriction or other security interest of any kind (each of the foregoing, a
"Lien") upon any of the Property, or upon the income or profits therefrom,
except as otherwise permitted herein, transfer any of such Property or the
income or profits therefrom for the performance of any other obligation in
priority to payment of its general creditors; or (iii) acquire, or agree or have
an option to acquire, any Property upon conditional sale or other title
retention or purchase money security agreement, device or arrangement. For
purposes of this Note, the term "Permitted Liens" means, collectively, (a) Liens
existing on the date of this Note and disclosed to Holder in Appendix I and
Liens arising pursuant to this Note and the other Loan Documents; (b) Liens for
taxes, fees, levies, duties or other governmental charges of any kind, either
not yet due or being contested in good faith and with respect to which adequate
reserves or other appropriate provisions are being maintained in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, provided the same have no priority
over any of Holder's security interests; (c) Liens for landlords, common
carriers, warehousemen, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, employees, suppliers
or similar Liens arising by operation of law for amounts that are owed but not
yet delinquent, provided such Liens do not, in the aggregate, materially detract
from the value of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries or materially
impair the use thereof in the operation of the Company's or its subsidiaries'
business, in each case, taken as a whole, (d) Liens not to exceed $100,000 in
the aggregate in any fiscal year incurred solely for the purpose of financing
the acquisition of goods or equipment acquired by the Company or any subsidiary
in the ordinary course of business, (e) in the case of real property, any
matters, restrictions, covenants, conditions, limitations, rights, rights of
way, encumbrances, encroachments, reservations, easements, agreements and other
matters of record, such state of facts of which an accurate survey of the
property would reveal, which in the aggregate, are not material in amount, and
which do not, in the aggregate, materially detract from the value of any such
real property or materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of the Company's
business (Appendix I sets forth such matters of which the Company is currently
aware), (f) notifications under the Uniform Commercial Code (as then in effect
in the State of New York) pertaining to operating leases or installment sales
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $100,000
in the aggregate in any fiscal year (Appendix I sets forth such leases or

<PAGE>

installment contracts existing as of the date hereof), and (g) any other Liens
arising from or related to immaterial indebtedness or capital leases of the
Company or any subsidiary, not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal
year.

     1.3 Restrictions on Investments. Without Holder's prior written consent,
which consent may be given or denied at Holder's sole discretion, the Company
will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to make or permit to exist
or to remain outstanding any Investment except Investments described on Appendix
I and Investments in: (a) cash equivalents; (b) short term indebtedness
guaranteed by the United States government with a maturity not exceeding 6
months; (c) inventory purchased in the ordinary course of business; and (d)
Investments consisting of loans and advances to employees for travel and other
similar expenses in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $10,000 in the
aggregate at any time outstanding.

     1.4 Distributions; Restricted Payments. Without Holder's prior written
consent, which consent may be given or denied at Holder's sole discretion, the
Company will not (i) declare, pay or make any Distribution on shares of its
Capital Stock or apply any of its funds or Property to the purchase, redemption
or other retirement of any shares of its Capital Stock, or of any options to
purchase or acquire any Capital Stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
except that so long as no Default shall have occurred immediately before or
after giving effect to such proposed Distribution any subsidiary may pay cash
dividends to the Company; (ii) make any redemption, prepayment (whether
mandatory or optional), defeasance, repurchase or other type of prepayment in
respect of any Indebtedness (other than in respect of this Note); or (iii) set
aside any funds for any of the foregoing.

     1.5 Merger, Consolidation and Disposition of Assets.

          1.5.1 Mergers and Acquisitions. Without Holder's prior written
consent, which consent may be given or denied at Holder's sole discretion, the
Company will not become a party to any merger or consolidation, or agree to or
effect any asset acquisition or stock acquisition except for (a) the merger or
consolidation of one or more of the subsidiaries of the Company with and into
the Company, provided that no changes are made to the articles of incorporation
or bylaws of the Company in connection with such merger or consolidation or (b)
any merger or consolidation or asset acquisition or stock acquisition which
results in the acquisition of any business division or operation that is in the
Company's current lines of business and that does not result in a change of
control of the Company or any subsidiary (for purposes hereof, the term "change
of control" shall be deemed to mean a Mandatory Repurchase Event), provided that
(i) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only Capital Stock of the
Company or a subsidiary of the Company may be used to affect any such
transaction, (ii) the value of the Capital Stock issued in connection with any
such merger, consolidation or acquisition is not more than the fair market value
of the stock or assets being acquired (as determined in the reasonable and good
faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors or, if thereafter requested
by Holder, at the Company's sole expense, by a third-party evaluator reasonably
acceptable to Holder and having experience in the valuation of assets and
businesses in the mining industry generally), and (iii) in the event that any
such acquisition is made by any subsidiary of the Company, each such subsidiary
executes (i) a guaranty guaranteeing the full and punctual payment in full of
all Indebtedness under the Note and any other Loan Documents, (ii)

<PAGE>

in the case of a stock acquisition, a pledge in favor of Holder of the capital
stock or equity acquired by such subsidiary, and (iii) a joinder to the Security
Agreement, granting Holder a security interest in the assets acquired by such
subsidiary as a result of any such merger, consolidation or acquisition.

          1.5.2 Disposition of Property. Without Holder's prior written consent,
which consent may be given or denied at Holder's sole discretion, the Company
will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Property, including any
disposition of the Property as part of a sale and leaseback transaction, to or
in favor of any Person, except for sales of inventory made in the ordinary
course (including, without limitation, pursuant to any installment, output
requirement, offtake or similar agreement with respect to the sale of future
production in the ordinary course) to the extent that all net proceeds of any
such sale, lease or disposition are applied to permanently reduce the Note in
inverse order of maturity.

     1.6 Compliance with Environmental Laws. The Company will not, and will not
permit any of its subsidiaries to, (i) use any of the Property or any portion
thereof for the handling, processing, storage, generation, manufacture,
treatment, production, refining or disposal of hazardous substances, other than
in compliance with environmental laws, except where the failure of such
compliance would not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect upon
the financial, business, legal condition or prospects of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse Effect"), (ii) cause or
permit to be located on any of the Property any underground tank, surface
impoundment, lagoons, pits, sumps, or underground storage receptacle for
hazardous substances in any manner that would violate any environmental law in
any material respects or bring such Property in violation of any environmental
law in any material respects, (iii) generate any hazardous substances on any of
the Property in any manner that would violate any environmental law or bring
such Property in violation of any environmental law, (iv) conduct any activity
at any of the Property or use any of the Property in any manner so as to cause a
release or threatened release of hazardous substances on, upon or into the
Property, or (v) otherwise conduct any activity at any of the Property or use
any of the Property in any manner that would violate any environmental law or
bring such Property in violation of any environmental law in any material
respects, in each case except where such violation would not be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     1.7 Business Activities. Without the prior written consent of Holder, which
consent may be given or denied at Holder's sole discretion, the Company will not
cease engaging in its business or engage directly or indirectly (whether through
subsidiaries or otherwise) in any type of business other than the businesses
presently or currently planned to be conducted by them and in related lines of
businesses.

     1.8 Transactions with Affiliates. Without the prior written consent of
Holder, which consent may be given or denied at Holder's sole discretion, other
than the transactions described on Appendix I and other than in the Company's
ordinary course of business, the Company will not engage in any transaction with
any affiliate (other than for services as employees, officers and directors),
including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the
furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such
affiliate or, to the knowledge of the Company, any

<PAGE>

person in which any such affiliate has a substantial interest or is an officer,
director, partner, member or trustee on terms more favorable to such Person than
would have been obtainable on an arm's-length basis in the ordinary course of
business. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.8 to the contrary,
the Company shall not, other than in connection with any transaction or
agreement which is permitted hereunder, (A) enter into or consummate any
transaction or agreement pursuant to which it becomes a party to any mortgage,
note, indenture or guarantee evidencing any Indebtedness of any of its
affiliates or otherwise to become responsible or liable, as a guarantor, surety
or otherwise, pursuant to an agreement for any Indebtedness of any such
affiliate, or (B) make any payment to any of its affiliates in excess of $10,000
without the prior written consent of Holder.

     1.9 Conflicting Agreements. Without the prior written consent of Holder,
which consent may be given or denied at Holder's sole discretion, the Company
will not enter into any amendment or other modification to any currently
existing contractual obligation, which by its terms materially impairs the
ability of the Company to (a) pay the principal of or interest on the Note, or
(b) fully satisfy all of its obligations hereunder.

     1.10 Fiscal Year 2004 and Quarterly Financial Statements. Within thirty
(30) days following the end of each fiscal quarter while this Note is
outstanding, the Company shall deliver to Holder unaudited quarterly financial
statements substantially prepared in accordance with GAAP, except for normal
recurring year-end adjustments.

     1.11 Monthly Operating Reports. As soon as practicable following the end of
each month while this Note is outstanding, the Company shall deliver to Holder a
copy of the Company's monthly operating reports and such other reports as Holder
may reasonably request.

     1.12 Notification as to Certain Events. The Company shall notify Holder if
the Company becomes aware of any events that may result in a Material Adverse
Effect with respect to the Property or the Company's ability to perform its
obligations under the Note.

     1.13 Payment of Accrued Compensation. The Company will not, and will not
permit any of its subsidiaries to, pay in cash any of the Indebtedness disclosed
in Appendix I, Exceptions to Covenants and Agreement Set Forth in Schedule 2,
Section 1.1 (2).

     1.14 Maintenance of Required Approvals and Consents; Compliance with Laws.
The Company will take all action necessary to maintain all approvals and
