Binding Agreement. This Agreement is duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Pledgor and is enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with its terms. The Collateral secures all of the Obligations, without limitation as to amount or the nature of the Obligations, notwithstanding that Pledgor has delivered to Secured Party a Guaranty, dated the date hereof, pursuant to which Pledgor’s obligations thereunder are limited to $450,000.

Ownership.

Rights and Powers of the Secured Party.

Before or after an Event of Default, the Secured Party, without liability to Pledgor, may: (a) take control of proceeds of the Collateral, including stock or other securities received as distributions; (b) release any Collateral in its possession to Pledgor, temporarily or otherwise; and (c) exercise all other rights which an owner of such Collateral may exercise, except that before an Event of Default shall occur, the Secured Party shall not have the right to receive cash dividends, interest, premium and other cash payments with respect to the Shares or to vote or dispose of the Shares. At any time, the Secured Party may transfer any of the Collateral or evidence thereof into its own name or that of its nominee and if Secured Party is still in possession of the Collateral after the Obligations have been paid in full, Secured Party shall cause any Collateral that has been transferred to Secured Party’s name or that of its nominee to be re-transferred into such names as Pledgor shall reasonably request.

The foregoing rights and powers of the Secured Party will be in addition to, and not a limitation upon, any rights and powers of the Secured Party given by law, elsewhere in this Agreement, or otherwise.

Dividends and Voting Rights. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, Pledgor may (a) retain all cash dividends and cash distributions paid with respect to the Shares and (b) subject to the provisions of Section V.A., exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Shares. The Secured Party will cooperate with any reasonable requests of Pledgor to effectuate the foregoing.

Convertible or Exercisable Collateral. The Secured Party may present for conversion or exercise any Collateral which is convertible or exercisable into any other instrument or investment security or a combination thereof with cash, but the Secured Party shall not have any duty to present for conversion or exercise any Collateral unless it shall have received from Pledgor detailed written instructions to that effect at a time reasonably far in advance of the final conversion date to make such conversion possible. Pledgor shall not present for conversion or exercise any Collateral that is so convertible or exercisable.

VII.

Default.

Event of Default; Rights and Remedies. If any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Debenture) shall occur, then, in each and every such case, the Secured Party may, without (a) presentment, demand, or protest, (b) notice of default, dishonor, demand, non-payment, or protest, (c) notice of intent to accelerate all or any part of the Obligations, (d) notice of acceleration of all or any part of the Obligations, or (e) notice of any other kind, all of which Pledgor hereby expressly waives (except for any notice required under this Agreement which may not be waived under any applicable law), at any time thereafter exercise and/or enforce any of the following rights and remedies, at the Secured Party’s option:

(ii.)

Liquidation of Collateral. Sell, or instruct any agent to sell, all or any part of the Collateral, and direct such agent to deliver all proceeds thereof to the Secured Party, and apply all proceeds to the payment of any or all of the Obligations in such order and manner as the Secured Party shall, in its discretion, choose.

(iii.)

Acceleration. Declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.

(iv.)

Uniform Commercial Code. Exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the State of New York.

Pledgor specifically understands and agrees that any sale or redemption by the Secured Party of all or part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be effected by the Secured Party at times and in manners which could result in the proceeds of such sale or redemption being significantly and materially less than might have been received if such sale or redemption had occurred at different times or in different manners, and Pledgor hereby releases the Secured Party and its officers and representatives from and against any and all obligations and liabilities arising out of or related to the timing or manner of any such sale or redemption. The Pledgor agrees that the Collateral may be sold as provided for in this Agreement and expressly waives any rights of notice of sale, advertisement procedures, or related provisions granted under applicable law, including the New York Lien Law.

General.

Parties Bound. The Secured Party’s rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns, and in the event of any assignment or transfer by the Secured Party of any of the Obligations or the Collateral, the Secured Party thereafter shall be fully discharged from any responsibility with respect to the Collateral so assigned or transferred, but the Secured Party shall retain all rights and powers hereby given with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral not so assigned or transferred. All representations, warranties and agreements of Pledgor shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of Pledgor.

Waiver. No delay of the Secured Party in exercising any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver by the Secured Party of any right hereunder or of any default by Pledgor shall be binding upon the Secured Party unless in writing, and no failure by the Secured Party to exercise any power or right hereunder or waiver of any default by Pledgor shall operate as a waiver of any other or further exercise of such right or power or of any further default. Each right, power and remedy of the Secured Party as provided for herein or in any of the Transaction Documents, or which shall now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Secured Party of any or all other such rights, powers or remedies.

Wherever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
