protection of Pledgees as set forth herein, and upon and subject to the terms

distributions thereon and hold the same as Collateral or apply the same to any
Obligation, solely in the event an Event of Default has occurred; to execute in
Pledgor's name instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any
of the Collateral; and to take such other action to enforce any rights of
Pledgees hereunder or with respect to any of the Collateral.
5. Dividends, Interest and Other Rights. Unless Pledgees otherwise agree in
------------------------------------
writing, if Pledgor receives: (a) any dividend in connection with any of the
Pledged Shares, whether in cash or other property (b) any dividend or other

assignment when necessary, to be held by the Custodian, as collateral security
for the Secured Obligations.

respect to any of the Collateral.

provisions of this Agreement and/or the SPA, (b) to consent to and ratify action

Shares with the same force and effect as if such shares were not subject to this
Agreement, and (c) to generally be entitled to all rights and benefits of a
holder of common stock of ICS subject to the limitations set forth in this
Agreement.
8. Release of PledgedShares.
--------------------------

by or on behalf of the Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the Note,
together with the payment of accrued interest as set forth therein or (ii) no
payment was made by Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the Note due to the
failure of ICS to achieve the minimum of $7,000,000 of Net Revenues in the
applicable Earn-Out Year; provided, however, that such failure was not due to an
Event of Default, then the Pledgees agree to release from the lien of this
Pledge Agreement, and to instruct the Custodian in writing to release and
transfer to the order of the Pledgor, the Pledged Shares. In the Event of
Default, Custodian shall transfer the certificates representing the Pledged
Shares to the Pledgees, upon receiving a written notice from the Pledgees to do
so.
9. Rights of thePledgees. The Pledgees shall not be liable for any
-----------------------
failure to collect or realize upon the Collateral or any guarantee therefor, or
any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any
obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. If an Event of
Default under the SPA has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgees may
thereafter, without notice, exercise all rights, privileges or options
pertaining to any Collateral as if they were the holder and absolute owner
thereof, upon such terms and conditions as they may determine, all without
liability except to account for property actually received by then, but the
Pledgees 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 delay in so
doing.
10. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
--------------------
an Event of Default, Pledgees at any time and from time-to-time thereafter:
(a) may cause any or all of the Collateral to be registered in their
own name or in the name of any nominee or nominees.
(b) shall be entitled to collect and receive all interest, dividends,
payments and other distributions of any character, declared or paid on any of
the Collateral.
(c) may vote any or all shares of any of the Pledged Shares and give all
consents, waivers, and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with
respect thereto as though it was the absolute owner thereof.
(d) may sell, assign, transfer and deliver at any time the whole, or from
time to time any part, of the Pledged Shares or any rights or interests therein,
at private sale or in any other manner in accordance with law, at such prices on
such terms as Pledgees may deem to be in their best interests, and either for
cash, on credit, or for future delivery, at the option of Pledgees, upon ten
(10) days written notice, which Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable,
addressed to Pledgor at its last address on file with Pledgees.
As an alternative to exercising the power of sale conferred upon it herein,
Pledgee may proceed by suits at law or in equity, or both, to foreclose this
Agreement and to sell the Pledged Shares, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a
judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. If any of
the Pledged Shares or any rights or interests therein shall be disposed of at a
private sale, Pledgees shall be relieved from all liability or claims for
inadequacy of price. At any such sale Pledgees may purchase the whole or any
part of the Pledged Shares or any rights or interests therein so sold. If any
of the Pledged Shares or any rights or interests therein shall be sold on credit
or for future delivery, the Pledged Shares or rights or interests so sold may be
retained by Pledgees, until the selling price thereof shall be paid by the
purchaser. Pledgees may, after compliance with applicable law, choose in lieu
of sale to accept the Pledged Shares in satisfaction of any the Secured
Obligations.
(e) shall otherwise have all the rights and remedies of a secured party
with respect to the Collateral as are provided under the Uniform Commercial Code
in force in Kentucky on the date hereof and as may be amended from time to
time, or under other applicable law, and Pledgees may set off or otherwise apply
the Collateral against the payment of any of the Secured Obligations and shall
have the right to take such other actions as are consistent with the power of
attorney set forth in Section 4 hereof.
11. No Disposition, Etc. Without the prior written consent of the
----------------------
Pledgees, the Pledgor agrees that 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 pledge, lien, mortgage,
hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance 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 Pledge
Agreement or permitted in the SPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pledgees
shall enter into a subordination agreement with Pledgor's Lender, if requested
to do so by Pledgor's Lender, pursuant to which they shall agree not to take any
action to foreclose or otherwise enforce their liens under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Pledgor's Lender, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.
12. Further Assurances. The Pledgor agrees that at any time and from
-------------------
time to time upon the written request of the Pledgees, the Pledgor will execute
and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as the
Pledgees may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of this Pledge
Agreement.

---------------------------------
delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or
remedies hereunder and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the
Pledgees, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the
Pledgees of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Pledgees would otherwise
have on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising
on the part of the Pledgees, 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 hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or
concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

duly executed by the Pledgees and, in the case of any amendment affecting the
rights or obligations of the Custodian, duly executed by the Custodian. This
Pledge Agreement and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgor, and shall, together with the
rights and remedies of the Pledgees hereunder, inure to the benefit of the
Pledgees and their successors and assigns.

herein and shall not be subject to any liability hereunder with respect to
Collateral held in its custody, except for its negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) The Pledgor agrees to indemnify the Custodian against any loss,
liability or expense, incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of the Custodian, arising out of or in connection with any of its duties as
Custodian hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself from
any claim or liability in connection herewith. The provisions of this paragraph
shall survive the termination of this Pledge Agreement.
(c) In the event the Custodian shall resign or be removed under this Pledge
Agreement, and a successor custodian shall be appointed by the Pledgees as the
successor Custodian under this Pledge Agreement, upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Custodian hereunder by a successor Custodian, such successor
Custodian shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Custodian, and the resignation or
removal of the retiring Custodian shall be effective as of such date. After the
effective date of any retiring Custodian's resignation or removal as Custodian
hereunder, the provisions of this Section shall remain applicable to it as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Custodian under this
Pledge Agreement.
(d) The Custodian has executed this Pledge Agreement solely as Custodian for
the Pledgees in accordance with the terms hereof and hereby agrees not to
exercise any right or remedy, including a right of set-off, it may have at any
time with respect to any of the Collateral, except in accordance with the
provisions of this Pledge Agreement or the written instructions of the Pledgees.

--------
convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions
hereof.
17. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement and any amendments hereof may be
------------
executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of
which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Pledge
Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such
counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
18. Term. This Agreement shall terminate when one of the following
----
occurs with respect to all Notes made by Pledgor to the Pledgees: (i) full
payment has been made by or on behalf of the Pledgor in accordance with the
terms of the Note, together with the payment of accrued interest as set forth
therein or (ii) no payment was made by Pledgor in accordance with the terms of
the Note due to the failure of ICS to achieve the minimum of $7,000,000 of Net
Revenues in the applicable Earn-Out Year; provided, however, that such failure
was not due to an Event of Default, or (iii) in the Event of Default,
immediately after Custodian releases the Pledged Shares to the Pledgees pursuant
to the Pledgees written instructions. Upon termination of this Agreement,
except in the Event of Default, any Pledged Shares still pledged hereunder (and
not yet disposed of) shall be delivered to Pledgor.

---------------
according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky (but not its conflicts of

in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts

Western District of Kentucky, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts from
which an appeal may be taken from such courts, for the purpose of any suit,
action or other proceeding arising hereunder or out of any of the Secured
Obligations or with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and
expressly waives any and all objections Pledgor may have to venue in any such
courts. Each of Pledgor and Pledgees further agrees that service of any
process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party's
respective address set forth below shall be effective service of process for any
action, suit or proceeding in Kentucky with respect to any matters to which it
has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 19.
20. Reasonable Care. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care with respect to
---------------
the safe custody of the Collateral while held hereunder, under no circumstances
shall Pledgees be deemed to assume any responsibility for or obligation or duty
with respect to any part or all of the Collateral of any nature or kind or any
matter or proceedings arising out of or relating thereto. Pledgee shall have no
duty or liability to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect or
preserve his or her or Pledgor's rights pertaining thereto, and shall be
relieved of all responsibility for any of the Collateral upon surrendering the
same to Pledgor.
21. Course of Conduct. No course of dealing between Pledgor and Pledgees
-------------------
nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
Pledgees, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the Secured
Obligations, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided and provided under any of
the Secured Obligations are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive
of, any rights or remedies provided by law, including, without limitation, the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in

or any of them, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of
