Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Secured Parties may, in their discretion, (i) in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Act; (ii) approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii) restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 7(b), if any of such Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act at the time of any proposed sale hereunder, then the Secured Parties shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but may, in their discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to such restrictions as the Secured Parties may, in their discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.
9
(c) Grantor also agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses of the Secured Parties, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of their rights and remedies hereunder.
(d) Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

SECOND, to the Secured Parties in amounts proportional to the Pro Rata share of the then unpaid Secured Obligations of each Secured Party; and

Each Secured Party agrees that if it shall obtain or receive, through the exercise of any right granted to the Secured Parties under this Security Agreement, the Notes, or by applicable law, including, but not limited to any right of set-off, any secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other security or interest, any interest or principal payment or payments greater than its Pro Rata share, as measured immediately prior to the receipt of such payment or payments, then (a) such Secured Party shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from other Secured Parties, a participation in the Notes of such other
10
Secured Parties, so that each Secured Party shall have received payments in proportion to its Pro Rata share immediately prior to such transactions and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Secured Parties share the benefits of such payment on a Pro Rata basis.
10. REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor's property and assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
11.1 Waivers; Modifications. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Grantor and the Majority Secured Parties.

No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the lien granted to the Secured Parties hereunder.
11.4 Governing Law. In all respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, this Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado applicable to contracts made and performed in such state, without regard to the principles thereof regarding conflict of laws, except to the extent that the UCC provides for the application of the law of a different jurisdiction.
