BOCO Right to Appoint Receiver.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, BOCO may appoint by instrument a receiver, receiver and manager, or receiver-manger (the person so appointed is called the "Receiver") of the security for the Companys obligations under the Remaining Notes (the Collateral), with or without bond as BOCO may determine, and from time to time in BOCOs absolute discretion remove such Receiver and appoint another in its stead. A Receiver appointed under this Agreement shall be the agent of the Company and not of BOCO, and BOCO shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or nonfeasance on the part of any Receiver, its servants, agents, or employees. A Receiver shall, to the extent permitted by law or to such lesser extent permitted by its appointment, have all the powers of BOCO under this Agreement and any of the security agreements referenced in Paragraph 10 hereof, and in addition shall have power to carry on the business of the Company and for such purpose to enter upon, use, and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Company in which Collateral may be situate; use, maintain, license, and sell the Collateral directly or indirectly in carrying on the Companys business; and from time to time borrow money either unsecured or secured by a security interest in any of the Collateral. The Company irrevocably appoints the Receiver with full power of substitution, to be the attorney of the Company for and in the name of the Company to sign, endorse, or execute under seal or otherwise any deeds, documents, transfers, checks, instruments, demands, assignments, assurances, or consents that the Company is obliged to sign, endorse, or execute, and generally to use the name of the Company and to do all things as may be necessary or incidental to the exercise of all or any of the power conferred on the Receiver, as the case may be, under this Agreement. BOCO and Receiver shall cause any sale of property (other than refined gold and silver, which may be sold in arms-length transactions in the ordinary course of business) to be at public auction, with reasonable advance written notice to other creditors and shareholders of the Company. BOCO shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by the Receiver or by any court, receiver or public officer, and BOCO shall have the right to credit upon the amount of the bid made therefor all or part of any amount payable under any obligation due and owing from the Company to BOCO (including, without limitation, under this Agreement and the Remaining Notes).  Recitals contained in any covenant made to any purchaser at any sale made hereunder shall conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters therein stated, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, non-payment of the unpaid principal sum of, and the interest accrued on, the indebtedness after the same has become due and payable, and advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein. Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale herein granted and conferred or by judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Receiver, or of the officer making sale under judicial proceedings, shall be sufficient to discharge the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Receiver (or of such officer making the sale), be obligated to see the application of such purchase money, or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof.  Any sale or sales of the Collateral, whether under the power of sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever either at law or in equity, of the Company of, in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Company, Company's successors or assigns and against any and all persons claiming or who shall thereafter claim all or any of the property sold from, through or under the Company or Company's successors or assigns; nevertheless, the Company, if so requested by BOCO or the Receiver, shall join in the execution and delivery of all property conveyances, assignments and transfers of the properties so sold. The Company agrees, to the full extent that the Company may lawfully so agree, that the Company will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any manner whatever claim the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement or the sale of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale made pursuant to any provision hereof; and the Company, for Company and all who may claim through or under Company now or hereafter, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws. The Company, for the Company and all who may claim through or under Company, waives any and all right to have the Collateral marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien or security interest set forth herein or in the security agreements referenced in paragraph 10 hereof, or sold in inverse order of alienation, and agrees that BOCO, the Receiver, or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien or security interest may sell the Collateral as an entirety. Any proceeds of any disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be applied by BOCO or the Receiver toward payment of the Companys obligations to BOCO  in such order of application as BOCO may direct in its sole and absolute discretion (except that proceeds from the limited collateral described in the Security and Inter-Creditor Agreement of even date herewith shall be disbursed in proportion to the security interests granted therein, for so long as such Security and Inter-Creditor Agreement remains operative and in effect in accordance with its terms).

12



20.

Waiver of Presentment, Demand and Default.  Company unconditionally waives notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this Agreement or the Remaining Notes.   

21.

BOCO Non-Waiver.  No failure by BOCO to exercise, or delay by BOCO in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy.  BOCO may not waive any of its rights under this Agreement except by an instrument in writing signed by it.

22.

JURY WAIVER.  COMPANY, MINEX, SILVER VERDE AND EACH OF THE CURRENT DIRECTORS (THE WAIVING PARTIES) HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE BOCO NOTES, LOAN DOCUMENTS, REMAINING NOTES AND RATIFIED AGREEMENTS) OR ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BOCO AND THE WAIVING PARTIES. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE CONCESSIONS PROVIDED BY BOCO HEREIN.

7.

Payor agrees that the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is secured by a senior pledge of all of Payors assets and not subordinate to any other pledge or security interest, as set forth in the Security Agreements.  Payor agrees to take such actions and execute such documents as Holder reasonably request to perfect its security interest in Payors assets.



21




8.

11.
