before any court of record in the United States to appear on behalf of Borrower
and confess judgment on behalf of the Borrower against Borrower in the full
amount due under this Agreement plus attorneys' fees of fifteen percent (15%) of
such amount. (Notwithstanding the amount of any such judgment, Lender agrees to

of exemption, appeal, stay of execution, inquisition and extension upon any levy
on real estate or personal property to which the Borrower may otherwise be
entitled under the laws of the United States of America now in force or which
may hereafter be passed, as well as the benefit of any or every statute,
ordinance, or rule of court which may be lawfully waived conferring upon
Borrower any right or privilege of exemption, stay of exercise, or supplementary
proceedings, or other relief from the enforcement or immediate enforcement of a
judgment or related proceedings on a judgment. The authority and power to appear
for and enter judgment against Borrower shall be exercisable concurrently in one
or more jurisdictions and shall not be exhausted or extinguished by one or more
exercises thereof, or by any imperfect exercise thereof or by any judgment
entered pursuant thereto. Such authority and power may be exercised on one or
more occasions, from time to time, in the same or different jurisdictions, as
often as Lender shall deem necessary or desirable, for all of which this
Agreement shall be sufficient warrant.

REVOLVING CREDIT MASTER NOTE
$500,000 Denver, Colorado
January 2, 2001
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (hereinafter, the "Borrower") promises
to pay to the order of Xxxxxx Kesonen (hereinafter, "Lender") at Lender's
offices at ___________________________ or at such other place as the holder of
this Note may from time to time designate, in lawful money of the United States
of America, the principal sum of Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (or so
much thereof as has been advanced or re-advanced hereunder from time to time)
together with interest thereon at the rate and upon the terms hereinafter
provided. The following terms shall apply to this Note.
1. Interest Rate. For the period from the date of this Note until the date
on which the entire principal balance outstanding is paid in full (at stated
maturity, on acceleration or otherwise), interest shall accrue on the principal
balance from time to time outstanding at the rate of eight percent (8%) per
annum.
2. Repayment. Interest accrued hereunder on the outstanding principal
amount shall be paid monthly in arrears on the first day of each month,
beginning on the first day of the month which immediately follows the first
month in which there is an outstanding balance of principal under this Note.
The entire amount of principal outstanding on January 1, 2011, together
with all accrued unpaid interest thereon at the rates hereinabove specified,
shall be paid on or before the tenth day of January 2011 (the "Repayment Date").
The entire unpaid balance of principal, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, shall be paid in full on or before the Repayment Date.
3. Calculation of Interest. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a
three hundred sixty (360) days per year factor applied to the actual days on
which there exists an unpaid principal balance. Interest shall be calculated by
Lender and billed to Borrower for each appropriate period; provided, however,
that failure of Lender to xxxx Borrower shall not relieve Borrower's payment
obligations hereunder.
4. Application of Payments. All payments made hereunder shall be applied
first to late penalties or other sums owing the holder, next to accrued and
unpaid interest, and then to principal.
5. Optional Prepayment. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part
at any time or from time to time without penalty or additional interest.
6. Event of Default. As used herein the term "Event of Default" shall mean
(a) a failure to make any payment of any amount required to be paid pursuant to
this Note on the date such payment is due under this Note; and (b) an Event of
Default as such term is defined under the Revolving Credit Loan Agreement
between the parties of even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement").
7. Late Payment Penalty. Should any payment of interest or principal and
interest due hereunder be received by the holder of this Note more than ten (10)
days after its due date, Borrower shall pay a late payment penalty equal to five
percent (5%) of the amount overdue for each month outstanding until paid,
beginning with the due date of the late payment.
8. Acceleration Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender may, at its option, in its sole and absolute discretion and
without notice or demand, declare the entire unpaid balance of principal plus
accrued interest and any other sums payable hereunder immediately due and
payable.
9. Confession of Judgment. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Borrower authorizes and empowers any attorney admitted to practice before any
court of record in the United States to appear on behalf of Borrower and confess
judgment on behalf of Borrower against Borrower in the full amount due under
this Agreement plus attorneys' fees of fifteen percent (15%) of such amount.
(Notwithstanding the amount of any such judgment, Lender agrees by accepting
this Note to use reasonable efforts to obtain legal counsel who will charge
Lender for services on an hourly basis, at his or her customary hourly rate(s)
and only for time expended and actual expenses incurred, and Lender agrees not
to enforce a judgment for legal fees against Borrower in an amount in excess of
the fees and expenses actually charged to Lender for services rendered by, and
for actual expenses incurred by its counsel in connection with such confession
of judgment and the collection of all amounts owed by Borrower to Lender.) In
any action brought by Lender under this Agreement, Borrower consents to the
exercise of personal jurisdiction over it by the courts of the State of Colorado
and agrees that venue shall be proper in any County of the State of Colorado or
in the City and County of Denver, in addition to any other court where venue may
be proper. Borrower waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, all
errors and all rights of exemption, appeal, stay of execution, inquisition and
extension upon any levy on real estate or personal property to which Borrower
may otherwise be entitled under the laws of the United States of America now in
force or which may hereafter be passed, as well as the benefit of any or every
statute, ordinance, or rule of court which may be lawfully waived conferring
upon Borrower any right or privilege of exemption, stay of exercise, or
supplementary proceedings, or other relief from the enforcement or immediate
enforcement of a judgment or related proceedings on a judgment. The authority
and power to appear for and enter judgment against Borrower shall be exercisable
concurrently in one or more jurisdictions and shall not be exhausted or
extinguished by one or more exercises thereof, or by any imperfect exercise
thereof or by any judgment entered pursuant thereto. Such authority and power
may be exercised on one or more occasions, from time to time, in the same or
different jurisdictions, as often as Lender shall deem necessary or desirable,
for all of which this Agreement shall be sufficient warrant.
10. Expenses of Collection. Should this Note be referred to an attorney for
collection, whether or not judgment has been confessed or suit has been filed,
Borrower shall pay all of Lender's actual costs, fees (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) and expenses resulting from such referral.
11. Waiver of Protest. Borrower hereby waives presentment, notice of
dishonor and protest.
12. Commercial Loan. Borrower acknowledges and warrants that this Note
evidences a "commercial loan" and that the proceeds of the Note will be used for
the sole purpose of supplying the working capital required for Borrower's
business purposes.
13. Waiver. No failure or delay by the holder hereof to insist upon the
strict performance of any term, provision, or agreement of this Note, or to
exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall
constitute a waiver of any such term, provision or agreement or of any such
breach, or preclude the holder hereof from exercising any such right, power or
remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of
any amount payable under this Note, the holder hereof shall not be deemed to
have waived the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other
amounts due under this Note, or to declare a default hereunder.
14. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals, requests, demands and other
communications which are required or may be given hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be duly given if personally delivered, sent by telefax, telegram or
overnight courier or posted by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid and addressed to the other parties at the addresses
set forth below.
