performance when due of all obligations of the Pledgors, now or hereafter
existing, under the Indemnity (all the foregoing being hereinafter called the
"Obligations").
-----------
2. Stock Dividends, Distributions, etc., with Respect to Pledged Stock.
------------------------------------------------------------------
If, while this Agreement is in effect, the Pledgors shall become entitled to
receive or shall receive any stock certificate (including, without limitation,
any certificate representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection
with any reclassification or any increase or reduction of capital, or issued in
connection with any reorganization, reincorporation or merger), option or right,
whether as an addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for any Pledged
Stock, the Pledgors agree that they shall accept and hold the same in trust on
behalf of the Company and deliver the same forthwith to the Company in the exact
form received, with the indorsement of the Pledgors when necessary and/or with
appropriate undated stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the
Company subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the
Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Stock upon the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, shall be paid over to the Company to
be held by it in trust as additional collateral security for the Obligations;
and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the
Pledged Stock or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the
Pledged Stock pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the
capital of the Company or pursuant to the reorganization of the Company, the
property so
distributed shall be delivered to the Company to be held by its as additional
collateral security for the Obligations. All sums of money and property so paid
or distributed in respect of the Pledged Stock which are received by the
Pledgors shall be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgors
and held by the Pledgors in trust as additional collateral security for the
Obligations. So long as no Event of Default, as defined herein, has occurred and
is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to retain and use any and all cash
dividends paid on the Pledged Stock, except for any sums paid upon liquidation
or dissolution as described above.
3. Collateral. All property at any time pledged to the Company hereunder
----------
(whether described herein or not) and all income therefrom (except cash
dividends) and proceeds thereof are herein collectively sometimes called the
"Collateral."
----------
4. Voting Rights. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
-------------
continuing, the Pledgors shall be entitled to vote the Pledged Stock and to give
proxies, consents, waivers and ratification in respect of the Pledged Stock,
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, or consent, waiver or
-------- -------
ratification given or action taken, which either Pledgor believes in good faith
would impair the value of the Collateral or be inconsistent with or violate any
provision of this Agreement.
5. Rights of The Company. The Company shall not be liable for failure to
---------------------
collect or realize upon the Obligations or any collateral security or guarantee
therefor, or any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall the
Company be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard
thereto. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and if the
Company shall have given prior written notice of its intention to do so to the
Pledgors, such number of shares of the Pledged Stock as may be necessary to
remedy the Event of Default may be registered in the name of the Company or its
nominee, and the Company or its nominee may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, thereafter exercise all voting and other rights at any meeting
of stockholders of the Company thereto and exercise any and all rights of
conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options
pertaining to any of the Pledged Stock as if it were the absolute owner thereof,
including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion the
Pledged Stock upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization
or other readjustment of the Company or upon the exercise by the Pledgors of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Stock, and in connection
therewith, to deposit and deliver the Pledged Stock with any committee,
depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms
and conditions as the Company may determine, all without liability except to
account for property actually received by it, but the Company shall have no duty
to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or for any delay in so doing. The number of
shares of Pledged Stock to be registered in the name of the Company, as
described above, shall be determined by reference to the closing or last sale
price on the day such shares are to be registered in the name of the Company of
a share of the Company's Common Stock on Nasdaq or the principal exchange upon
which the Company's Common Stock is then traded (or, if the Company's Common
Stock is not then traded on Nasdaq or an exchange, by reference to the closing
bid price in the over-the-counter market, or, if there are
2
no such bids, by determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, acting
in good faith). For example, if an Event of Default has arisen as a result of
an Obligation in the amount of $1,000,000, and the closing price of a share of
Common Stock on the day the shares are to be registered in the name of the
Company is $10.00, the Company shall only be entitled to register in its name
under this Agreement 100,000 shares of Pledged Stock, less any shares of Common
Stock to be registered in its name pursuant to similar Securities Pledge
Agreements with other pledgors with respect to the same Obligation.
6. Remedies. In the event that any portion of the Obligations has been
--------
declared, or becomes, due and payable, the Company shall, as pledgee of the
Pledged Stock, turn over the Collateral (or portion thereof) in accordance with
any court order or settlement agreement in connection with the subject matter of
the Indemnity or exercise its rights set forth in Section 5 hereof.
7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Pledgors. Each
---------------------------------------------------------
Pledgor represents and warrants that (a) such Pledgor is the record, legal and
beneficial owner of his or its portion of the Pledged Stock as set forth on the
signature page hereto, subject to no lien or adverse claim, except the claims
described in the Indemnity, the lien created by this Agreement and the liens
described on Exhibit A hereto and (b) upon delivery to the Company, the pledge
and delivery of such Pledged Stock pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid
first lien on and a first perfected security interest in the Pledged Stock, and
the proceeds thereof, subject to no other lien, except the liens described on
Exhibit A hereto. Each Pledgor convenants and agrees to defend the right, title
and security interest of the Company in and to the Pledged Stock and the
proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever; and
will defend the right to and security interest of the Company in any other
property at any time hereafter pledged to the Company as Collateral hereunder.
8. No Disposition, etc. Each Pledgor agrees that, without the prior
-------------------
written consent of the Company, he or it will not sell, assign, transfer,
exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the
Collateral, nor will it create, incur or permit to exist any lien with respect
to any of the Collateral, or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof,
except for the lien and security interest provided for by this Agreement.
9. Further Assurances. The Pledgors agree that at any time and from time
------------------
to time upon the written request of the Company, the Pledgors will execute and
deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as the
Company may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of this
Agreement.
10. Events of Default. If (a) the Pledgors, or either of them shall
-----------------

the Pledgors, or either of them, shall become insolvent, or shall make a
transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or shall admit in writing his or its inability to pay his or its
debts as they become due, or (c) the Pledgors, or either of them, shall file a
petition or an answer under any present or future applicable law or statute of
any jurisdiction relevant to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors
(each such event being an "Event of
3
Default"), then, at any time thereafter the Company may exercise any or all of
the remedies provided for hereunder.
11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
------------
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisidiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in
any other jurisdiction.
12. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise nor any delay
------------------------------
in exercising on the part of the Company any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege herein preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or
concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
13. Waivers; Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this
-------------------
Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in
writing, duly executed by the Company. This Agreement and all obligations of
the Pledgors hereunder shall be binding upon by the respective heirs,
administrators, successors and assigns of the Pledgors.
14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
-------------
accordance with, the laws of the State of California, except to the extent that
the validity or perfection of the security interest hereunder or remedies
hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a
jurisdiction other than California.
15. Termination. This Agreement and the security interest of the Company
-----------
hereunder shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) May 31, 1999, provided that no
claim has been made by the Company prior to that date under the Indemnity, (b)
the fulfillment by the Pledgors of all of their Obligations under the Indemnity
or (c) termination, satisfaction or release of all claims which were the subject
of the Indemnity. At that time the Company shall immediately reassign and
deliver to the Pledgors such of the Pledged Stock and any other Collateral
(if any) as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied by the Company to
satisfy Indemnity claims.
