WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 1(d) and 1(e) of the Restructuring Agreement dated as of January 20, 2003 by and among the parties hereto and the other parties signatory thereto, as amended to date (the "Restructuring Agreement"), Beyond the Wall, Inc.

THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and promises set forth in this agreement and the Restructuring Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Pledge of Shares
- (a)
- As
security for the performance by Maker of all of its obligations to the Ravich Trust and Interequity under the Notes, each of the Companies grants to the Ravich Trust and
Interequity a continuing security interest in favor of the Ravich Trust and Interequity in all of Maker's outstanding shares, and in all proceeds of those shares (collectively, the
"Shares"). Upon execution of this agreement, each of the Companies is delivering to the Ravich Trust a certificate for all of the Shares, together with
a stock power duly endorsed in blank. Each of the Companies represents and warrants to the Ravich Trust and Interequity that the Shares represent all of the outstanding shares of Maker and that one of
the Companies has good and valid title to the Shares and owns the Shares free and clear of any claim, lien, security interest or other encumbrance.
- (b)
- The
certificates for the Shares shall be held by the Ravich Trust until YouthStream has paid the principal of and interest on the Note.
- (c)
- Any
stock dividends declared and delivered with respect to the Shares shall be held by the Ravich Trust and disposed of in the same manner as the Shares delivered upon execution of
this agreement.
- (d)
- As long as there is no default in payment under either of the Notes, the Company owning the shares shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights with respect to the Shares.
- (e)
- Neither the Ravich Trust nor Interequity shall be liable for any loss, injury, damage or diminution in value of any of the Shares pledged under this agreement (or received pursuant to paragraph 1(c)) unless caused by its gross negligence or willful wrongdoing.
- 2.
- Companies' Obligations. As long as the security interest created by this agreement is not terminated:
- (a)
- Neither
of the Companies shall not, without prior consent of the Trustee of the Ravich Trust, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of the Shares, or any interest therein;
- (b)
- Neither
of the Companies shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien or charge of any kind against the Shares or Maker's rights
as a holder thereof, other than pursuant to this agreement;
- (c)
- The
Companies shall take any action reasonably required by the Ravich Trust to evidence and perfect the security interest granted pursuant to this agreement, including, but not
limited to, execution, delivery and filing of financing statements; and
- (d)
- The Companies shall take all necessary action to keep the Shares free of other liens, security interests or encumbrances.
- 3.
- Right to Enforce Security Interest. An Event of Default under either of the Notes shall be deemed an Event of Default under both of the
Notes. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Notes, the Ravich Trust may proceed to enforce the security interest by all legal and equitable remedies available to it and shall have all
the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York. Each of the Companies hereby appoints the Ravich Trust as such Company's agent and
attorney-in-fact in connection with the enforcement by the Ravich Trust of any remedy pursuant to this agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the Ravich Trust is authorized to sell, assign and deliver at its discretion, from time to time, all or any part of the Shares at any commercially reasonable private sale or public
auction, on not less
than ten days written notice to Maker, at such price or prices and upon such terms as the Ravich Trust may deem advisable. Maker shall have no right to redeem the Shares after any such sale or
assignment. At any such sale or auction, the Ravich Trust or Interequity may bid for, and become the purchaser of, the whole or any part of the Shares offered for sale. In case of any such sale, after
deducting the costs, attorneys' fees and other expenses of sale and delivery, the remaining proceeds of such sale shall be applied to the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes; provided that
after payment in full of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, the balance of the proceeds of sale then remaining shall be paid to Maker and Maker shall be entitled to the return of any of the
Shares remaining in the hands of the Ravich Trust or Interequity. Maker shall be liable for any deficiency if the remaining proceeds are insufficient to pay the indebtedness under the Notes in full,
including the fees of any attorneys or other agents employed by the Ravich Trust to collect such deficiency. Any amount realized by the Ravich Trust as a result of the enforcement of the security
interest pursuant to this agreement shall be shared between the Ravich Trust and Interequity in proportion to the respective unpaid balances of the principal and interest under each of the Notes.
- 4.
- Costs and Attorneys' Fees. All costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in exercising any right, power or
remedy conferred by this Agreement or in the enforcement thereof, shall become part of the indebtedness secured hereunder and shall be paid by Maker or repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the
Shares hereunder.
- 5.
- Miscellaneous.
- (a)
- The provisions of this agreement shall continue in effect until the payment in full of all amounts payable by Maker to the Ravich Trust and Interequity under the Notes.
2
- (b)
- This
agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the state of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in New York and cannot be
changed or terminated orally.
