4. VOTING RIGHTS, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:
- 3 -
4(a) Pledgors shall be entitled to exercise any and all
voting and/or consensual rights and powers relating or pertaining to the
Collateral or any part thereof, subject to the terms hereof.
4(b) Pledgors shall be entitled to receive and retain cash
dividends payable on the Collateral; provided, however, that all other dividends
(including, without limitation, stock and liquidating dividends), distributions
in property, returns of capital and other distributions made on or in respect of
the Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or

consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which Company may be a

for or redemption of any of the Collateral, shall be retained by Secured Party,
or, if delivered to Pledgors, shall be held in trust for the benefit of Secured
Party and forthwith delivered to Secured Party and shall be considered as part
of the Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement.
4(c) Secured Party shall execute and deliver (or cause to be
executed and delivered) to Pledgors all such proxies, powers of attorney,
dividend orders, and other instruments as Pledgors may request for the purpose
of enabling Pledgors to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers

receive the dividends which Pledgors are authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to SECTION 4(b) above; and Pledgors shall execute and deliver to

receive and retain pursuant to SECTION 4(b) above.
4(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all rights of Pledgors to exercise the voting and/or
consensual rights and powers which Pledgors are entitled to exercise pursuant to
SECTION 4(a) above and/or to receive the dividends which Pledgors are authorized
to receive and retain pursuant to SECTION 4(b) above shall cease, at the option
of Secured Party (if so directed by Secured Party), on not less than five (5)
day's notice to Pledgors, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in
Secured Party, who shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to
exercise such voting and/or consensual rights and powers and/or to receive and
retain such dividends. In such case Pledgors shall execute and deliver such
documents as Secured Party may request to enable Secured Party to exercise such
rights and receive such dividends. In addition, Secured Party is hereby
appointed the attorney-in-fact of Pledgors, with full power of substitution,
which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest, to take all such actions after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, whether in the name of Secured Party or
Pledgors, as Secured Party may consider necessary or desirable for the purpose
of exercising such rights and receiving such dividends. Any and all money and
other property paid over to or received by Secured Party pursuant to the
provisions of this SECTION 4(d) shall be retained by Secured Party as part of
the Collateral and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions hereof.
- 4 -
5. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT
5(a) If at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, then Secured Party may, in addition to having the right to
exercise any right or remedy of a secured party upon default under the UCC as
then in effect in the jurisdiction in which the Collateral is held by Secured
Party or its agent, to the extent permitted by law, without being required to
give any notice to Pledgors except as provided below:
(i) Apply any cash held by it hereunder in the
manner provided in SECTION 5(c) below; and
(ii) If there shall be no such cash or if the cash so
applied shall be insufficient to pay in full the items specified in SECTIONS
5(c)(i) and (c)(ii) below, collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral or any part thereof, and/or, Secured Party may, sell, assign,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part
thereof, in its entirety or in portions, at public or private sale or at any
broker's board, on any securities exchange or at any of Secured Party's places
of business or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as Secured Party may deem best, and Secured Party or
Secured Party may (except as otherwise provided by law) be the purchaser of any
or all of the Collateral so sold and thereafter may hold the same, absolutely,
free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind.
In the event of a sale as aforesaid, Secured Party is
authorized to, at any such sale, if it deems it advisable so to do, restrict the
number of prospective bidders or purchasers and/or further restrict such
prospective bidders or 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 the Collateral, and may otherwise require that
such sale be conducted subject to restrictions as to such other matters as
Secured Party may deem necessary in order that such sale may be effected in such
manner as to comply with all applicable state and federal securities laws. Upon
any such sale, Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and
transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold.
Pledgors hereby acknowledge that, notwithstanding that a
higher price might be obtained for the Collateral at a public sale than at a
private sale or sales, the making of a public sale of the Collateral may be
subject to registration requirements under applicable securities laws and
similar other legal restrictions compliance with which would require such
actions on the part of Pledgors, would entail such expenses, and would subject
Secured Party, any underwriter through whom the Collateral may be sold and any
controlling person of any of the foregoing to such liabilities, as would make a
public sale of the Collateral impractical. Accordingly, Pledgors hereby agree
that private sales made by Secured Party in good faith in accordance with the
provisions of this SECTION 5(a) may be at prices and on other terms less
favorable to the seller than if the Collateral were sold at public sale, and
that Secured Party shall not have any obligation to take any steps in order to
permit the Collateral to be sold at public sale, a private sale being considered
or deemed to be a sale in a commercially reasonable manner.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property
sold, absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any
equity or right of
- 5 -
redemption of Pledgors, who hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption,
stay or appraisal which Pledgors have or may have under any rule of law or
statute now existing or hereafter adopted. Secured Party shall give Pledgors not
less than ten (10) days' written notice of its intention to make any such public
or private sale. Such notice, in case of a public sale, shall state the time and
place fixed for such sale, and, in case of a sale at broker's board, on a
securities exchange, at one or more of Secured Party's places of business or
elsewhere, shall state the board, exchange or other location at which such sale
is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or that portion thereof so
being sold, will first be offered for sale at such location. Such notice, in
case of a private sale, shall state only the date on or after which such sale
may be made. Any such notice given as aforesaid shall be deemed to be reasonable
notification.
Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times
within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may
fix in the notice of such sale. At any sale the Collateral may be sold in one
lot as an entirety or in parts, as Secured Party may determine. Secured Party
shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any such notice. Secured
Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any sale or cause the same to
be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may
be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured
Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Secured
Party shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to
take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure,
such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice.
Secured Party, instead of exercising the power of sale
herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to
foreclose its lien or security interest arising from this Agreement and sell the
Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured
Party or its nominee shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) day's
notice to Pledgors, to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange,
subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any shares
of the Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without
limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any or all of the
Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or
other readjustment of Company, or upon the exercise by Company of any right,
privilege or option pertaining to any such shares of the Collateral, and, in
connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral with
any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency
upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may determine.
On any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is hereby
authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such
sale that it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any
violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the
purchaser or purchasers by any governmental regulatory authority or officer or
court.
- 6 -
It is expressly understood and agreed by Pledgors that
Secured Party may exercise its rights under any other document providing
security for the Secured Obligations without exercising its rights or affecting
the security provided hereunder, and it is further understood and agreed by
Pledgors that Secured Party may proceed against all or any portion or portions
of the Collateral and all other collateral securing the Secured Obligations in
such order and at such time as Secured Party, in its sole discretion, sees fit;
and Pledgors hereby expressly waive any rights under the doctrine of marshalling
of assets.
Compliance with the foregoing procedures shall result in
such sale or disposition being considered or deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner.
5(b) Each of the rights, powers, and remedies provided
herein, in any Note Purchase Documents or in any other document providing
security for the Secured Obligations or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall
be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for herein or
therein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise. The exercise of any such right, power or remedy shall not preclude
the simultaneous or later exercise of any or all other such rights, powers or
remedies. No notice to or demand on Pledgors in any case shall entitle Pledgors
to any other notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
5(c) The proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale as aforesaid shall be applied by Secured
Party in the following order:
(i) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses
of every kind incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith or incidental to
the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses; and
(ii) Second, to the payment of any amounts due under
the Secured Obligations.

6(a) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE B to this Agreement,

7. ACCOMMODATION.
7(a) Each Pledgor has a financial interest in the Company as
a result of his or its ownership of Common Stock of the Company and has executed
and delivered this Agreement solely as an accommodation in order to induce
Secured Party to advance funds
- 8 -
to the Company which advances are secured hereby. Each Pledgor understands that
the exercise by Secured Party of certain rights and remedies contained herein or
in the other Note Purchase Documents may affect or eliminate Pledgor's right of
subrogation against the Company and that such Pledgor may therefore incur a
partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, each
Pledgor hereby authorizes and empowers Secured Party to exercise, in its sole
discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then
be available to Secured Party as to the Collateral, since it is the intent and
purpose of such Pledgor that, subject to SECTION 2 hereof, the obligations
hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. In this regard, each Pledgor hereby waives:
(i) Any right to require Secured Party to proceed
against the Company or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any
other security held by Secured Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy
in Secured Party's power before exercising any right or remedy under this
Agreement.
(ii) Any defense that may arise by reason of: (A)
Secured Party's failure to proceed against the Company or any of the Company's
property, or any other party against whom Secured Party might assert a claim,
before proceeding against the Collateral under this Agreement; (B) the release,
suspension, discharge or impairment of any of Secured Party's rights against the
Company or any other party against whom Secured Party might assert a claim,
whether such release, suspension, discharge or impairment is explicit, tacit or
inadvertent; (C) Secured Party's failure to pursue any other remedies available
to Secured Party that would reduce the burden of the indebtedness secured hereby
on such Pledgor's interests in the Collateral; (D) any lack of authority, death,
disability or other incapacity of any of the Company, Pledgors, any other
guarantor or any other person with respect to the Secured Obligations or any
part thereof; (E) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or other
guaranties for the Secured Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing
perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Secured Obligations or
any part thereof; (F) any failure of Secured Party to give notice of sale or
other disposition of Collateral to the Company or Pledgors or any other person
or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or
disposition of Collateral; (G) any failure of Secured Party to comply with
applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any
Collateral for any Secured Obligation, including, without limitation, any
failure of Secured Party to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other
disposition of any Collateral for any Secured Obligation; (H) any act or
omission of Secured Party or others that directly, indirectly, by operation of
law or otherwise results in or aids the discharge or release of the Company, any
other pledgor or any security or guaranties now or hereafter held for the
Secured Obligations or any part thereof; (I) any failure of Secured Party to
file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to
any person; (J) the election by Secured Party, in any bankruptcy proceeding of
any person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the

Collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (M) any
agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in
any bankruptcy proceeding of any person; (N) the avoidance of any Lien in favor
of Secured Party for any reason; (O) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding
commenced by or against any person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay
- 9 -
against collecting, all or any of the Secured Obligations in or as a result of
any such proceeding; or (P) any defense based upon an election of remedies by
Secured Party, including without limitation an election to proceed by
non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure.
(iii) Demand, protest and notice of any kind,
including without limitation, the following notices: (A) notice of the evidence,
creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation
(provided that such indebtedness or obligation is not secured by this
Agreement); (B) notice of any action or non-action on the part of the Company or
Secured Party in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held
by Secured Party as Collateral; or (C) notice of payment or non-payment by the
Company of the indebtedness secured by this Agreement.
(iv) Any rule which would provide that each Pledgor
is not fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial
condition of the Company or any successor in interest of the Company and of all
circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any indebtedness of the
Company to Secured Party that is secured hereby.
(v) Any right to contribution from, subrogation to
or recovery against the Company if the Secured Party realizes upon any or all of
the Collateral or otherwise with respect to any liability that may arise under
or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other agreements and documents
executed or to be executed by the parties hereto in order to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreements
and documents contemplated hereby or thereby.
(vi) Each Pledgor warrants and agrees that each of
the waivers and consents set forth herein is made after consultation with legal
counsel (without waiving any attorney-client privileges) and with full knowledge
of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events
giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise
adversely affect rights which such Pledgor otherwise may have against the
Company, Secured Party or others, or against Collateral, and that, under the
circumstances, the waivers and consents herein given are reasonable and not
contrary to public policy or law. If any of the waivers or consents herein are
determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers
and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.
7(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Pledgor consents and agrees that Secured Party may, at any time and from time to
time, in Secured Party's sole and absolute discretion, without notice or demand,
and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (i)
supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate, waive or otherwise change
the time for payment or the terms of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof
or any additional security or guaranties now or hereafter held therefor; (ii)
enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to the

hereafter held for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, whether or not
the security or guaranty received upon the exercise of such power is of the same

person from any personal liability with respect to the Secured Obligations or
any part thereof; (x) consent to the transfer of any such other security and bid
and purchase the same at any sale thereof; and/or (xi) consent to any merger,

or exercise of any rights (including the right to realize upon the Collateral)
under, this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees.
9. CONTINUING LIEN; RETURN OF COLLATERAL
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in
the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of
