The obligations of Maker under this Note shall be secured by the Stock
Pledge Agreement ( Pledge ) by and between Maker and Holder of even date
herewith.
Maker shall have the right to prepay all, or any portion, of the
indebtedness owing under this Note at any time without penalty.
In the event of a failure by Maker to fully satisfy any incremental
payment within five (5) days following its due date, the entire obligation of
Maker shall be in default, the unpaid balance shall be immediately due and
payable, and interest on the principal balance shall thereafter accrue at a
rate equal to twenty-one percent (21%) per annum.
Maker shall be entitled to offset and deduct from amounts due hereunder
to Holder any amounts for which Holder is obligated to indemnify Maker
pursuant to Section 9 of the Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by
and between Maker and Holder; provided, however, that (a) the right of offset
shall be first applied to the last installment of $50,000 due hereunder and to
the extent that such payment is insufficient to satisfy the amount of such
offset, to other payments due hereunder in reverse order of their respective
due dates, (b) Maker shall not be entitled to offset against or deduct from
any amounts due under this Note if Maker has defaulted hereunder at any time
and (c) Maker must provide notice of offset to Holder on or prior to the due

same by providing written notice of dispute to Maker, in which case Maker
shall deposit the amount of the offset within an additional ten (10) days with
the American Arbitration Association ( AAA ) for settlement by arbitration in
accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA. If Maker fails
to deposit the amount of the offset within the specified time frame, Maker
shall be deemed to have waived its right of offset with respect thereto and
shall be in default hereunder.
Any arbitration proceeding, including the rendering of an award, shall
take place in Salt Lake County, Utah and shall be administered by the AAA.
The arbitral tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator appointed by AAA. The
award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding. Judgment upon the
award may be entered by the prevailing party in any state or federal court.
The non prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party, immediately upon
demand, all attorneys fees and all other costs incurred by the prevailing
party related to the arbitration or the subject matter thereof.
If an attorney is engaged by Holder to enforce or construe any provision
of this Note, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding,
then Maker shall immediately pay, on demand, all attorneys' fees and all other
costs incurred by Holder.
No previous waiver and no failure or delay by Holder in acting with
respect to the terms of this Note shall constitute a waiver of any breach,
default, or failure of condition under this Note.
Maker hereby waives: presentment; demand; notice of dishonor; notice of
default or delinquency; notice of acceleration; notice of protest and
nonpayment; notice of cost; expenses or losses and interest therein and
diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under this Note.
Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof, except that
Maker expressly agrees that this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended
from time to time at Holder's sole option provided such extension is in
writing signed by a duly authorized officer of Holder.
This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of Utah.
All terms and conditions of this Note shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and
assigns.
If any provision of this Note is unenforceable, invalid, or violates
applicable law, such provision shall be deemed stricken and shall not affect
the enforceability of any other provisions of this Note.

ARTICLE 5
REMEDIES
5.1 Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and

(a) Pledgee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a Pledgee on default
under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any of Pledgee's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on
credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as may be
commercially reasonable. To the extent notice of sale shall be required
by law or hereunder, at least ten days' prior notice to Pledgor of the
time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private
sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Pledgee
shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of
notice of sale having been given. Pledgee may adjourn any public or
private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and placed
fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at
the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) Pledgee may, without notice except to the extent required by
applicable law:
(i) Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the
name of Pledgee or its nominee, with or without disclosing that
such Collateral is subject to the lien and security interest
hereunder,
(ii) Notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral
to make payment to Pledgee of any amount due or to become due
thereunder,
(iii) Enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit
or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part
thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether
or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any
nature of any party with respect thereto,
(iv) Endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in
Pledgor's name to allow collection of the Collateral,
(v) Take control of any proceeds of the Collateral, and
(vi) Execute (in the name, place and stead of Pledgor)
endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
5.2 Compliance with Restrictions. Pledgor agrees that in any sale of
any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Pledgee is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or
restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is
necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including
compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective
bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers
have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and
purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution
or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of
the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or
official, and Pledgor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in
such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner, nor shall Pledgee be liable nor accountable to Pledgor for
any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in
compliance with any such limitation or restriction so long as such discount is
commercially reasonable under the circumstances.
5.3 Application of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by Pledgee in
respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any
part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of Pledgee, be held by Pledgee
as additional collateral security for, or then or at any time thereafter be
applied (after payment of any amounts payable to Pledgee pursuant to Section
6.4) in whole or in part by Pledgee against, all or any part of the Secured
Obligations in such order as Pledgee shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or
cash proceeds held by Pledgee and remaining after payment in full of all the
Secured Obligations, shall be paid over to Pledgor or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
5.4 Bonds. In the event that Pledgee exercises any of its rights and
remedies hereunder, Pledgee shall immediately cause the Company to release any
and all bonds provided by the Company after the date hereof with regard to the
Roosevelt Unit.
