RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Pledgee is the holder of a promissory note, in the principal amount of $1,716,411, with an interest rate of 15% per annum (the “Note”), originally issued to the Pledgee by the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”), as amended on December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010 and as of even date herewith; and
WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the Pledgee’s agreement to extend the maturity date of the Note, as of December 31, 2009, the Pledgor made a pledge in favor of the Pledgee of 2,104,950 shares of Common Stock of the Company held by the Pledgor, which as of the date hereof shall be increased to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Pledgor (the “Pledged Shares”), to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of Company’s obligations under the Note; and
WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the Pledgee’s agreement to enter into a third amendment to the Purchase Agreement, as of even date herewith (the “Third Amendment”), the parties have agreed to execute this Agreement, to set forth the specific terms and conditions of the Pledgor’s pledge of the Pledged Shares.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Pledge. As collateral security for the due and punctual payment and performance by the Company of the Note (all said obligations and all amounts payable hereunder hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”), the Pledgor hereby collaterally pledges, hypothecates, assigns and grants to the Pledgee a security interest in the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):
(a) the Pledged Shares, the certificates representing the Pledged Shares and the proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, dividends and other property at any time and from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares; and
(b) all securities hereafter delivered to the Pledge Agent in substitution for or in addition to any of the foregoing (pursuant to Section 5(b) of this Agreement), and all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing such securities and all cash, securities, dividends and other property at any time and from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all thereof.
2. Pledge Absolute. The Pledgor hereby agrees that this Agreement shall be binding upon the Pledgor and that the pledge of the Pledged Collateral hereunder shall be irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, legality or enforceability of the Note, or the Obligations, the absence of any action to enforce the same, or any waiver or consent by the Pledgee with respect to any provisions thereof.
3. Representatives and Warranties.
(a) The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(i) Authority. The Pledgor has full power, authority, capacity and legal right to enter into this Agreement, to pledge the Pledged Collateral pursuant hereto and to incur and perform the Obligations provided for herein.
(ii) Binding Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(iii) No Conflicts; Governmental Approvals. There is no statute, regulation, rule, order or judgment, and no provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement binding upon the Pledgor or affecting the Pledgor’s property, which would prohibit, conflict with, or in any way prevent the execution, delivery or performance of the terms of this Agreement and the pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant hereto. The execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of the terms of this Agreement and the pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant hereto does not require any filing with, or the consent or approval of, any governmental agency or regulatory authority.
(iv) Title to Pledged Collateral. When any item of Pledged Collateral is pledged hereunder, the Pledgor will be the owner of such item of Pledged Collateral free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances of every kind and nature (other than those created hereunder); each share of stock comprising such item of Pledged Collateral will be fully paid and non-assessable; the Pledgor will have legal title to such Pledged Collateral and the Pledgor will have good and lawful authority to pledge, assign and deliver such item of Pledged Collateral in the manner hereby contemplated; and no consent or approval of any governmental body or regulatory authority, or of any securities exchange, will be necessary to the validity of the rights created hereunder. All action has been taken by the Pledgor to create and perfect a security interest in the Pledged Collateral, and the Pledgee has, or will have upon delivery of the Pledged Collateral, acquired a first and prior perfected security interest therein.
2
(v) Valid Consideration. The Pledgor acknowledges, and represents, that he will realize significant benefits by granting the pledge of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, including in his capacity as a shareholder and officer of the Company.
4. Appointment of Pledge Agent; Delivery of Pledged Shares.
(a) The Pledgee hereby appoints Pledge Agent as the agent of the Pledgee. The Pledge Agent hereby accepts such appointment, and agrees to perform its obligations set forth herein.
(b) Within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement, the Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledge Agent the original stock certificate representing the Pledged Shares, together with a stock power signed in blank by the Pledgor, bearing a medallion signature guarantee, or other signature guarantee acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent, for the purpose of retaining physical possession of the certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Shares. The Pledge Agent shall hold the Pledged Shares on behalf of and as agent for the Pledgee. Upon such delivery, the Pledge Agent will execute and deliver to the Pledgee a Receipt and Acknowledgment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Pledgee may, from time to time after there shall have occurred and during the continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.1 of the Note), at the Pledgee’s sole discretion and without notice to or consent of the Pledgor, take any or all of the following actions: (a) transfer all or any part of the Pledged Shares into the names of its nominee, with or without disclosing that the Pledged Shares are subject to the lien and security interest hereunder; (b) take control of any proceeds of any of the Pledged Shares; (c) exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Shares for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose not inconsistent with its rights under this Agreement; and/or (d) direct the Pledge Agent to deliver possession of the Pledged Collateral in its possession to the Pledgee.
(c) The Pledge Agent agrees that upon receipt of the written notice set forth as Exhibit B hereto, executed by the Pledgee and delivered in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 6(a) hereof, the Pledge Agent will deliver the Pledged Shares in its possession to the Pledgee. The Pledge Agent will do so notwithstanding any direction or statement of the Pledgor to the contrary.
(d) The Pledge Agent agrees that it will not release the Pledged Collateral in its possession to the Pledgor until and unless it has received written notice from the Pledgee of the payment or satisfaction in full of the Obligations, such written notice not be unreasonably withheld and to be promptly delivered.
5. Voting Rights; Dividends; Replacement of Collateral, Etc.
(a) So long as there shall not have occurred and be a continuing Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.1 of the Note), the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting rights and powers relating or pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
3
(b) So long as there shall not have occurred and be a continuing Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.1 of the Note), the Pledgor shall receive and be entitled to retain any and all cash dividends, if any, paid on the Pledged Collateral. Any and all stock and/or liquidating dividends, distributions in property, redemptions or other distributions made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock of any issuer or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which any issuer may be a party or otherwise, and any and all cash and other property received in payment of the principal of or in redemption of or in exchange for any Pledged Collateral (either at maturity, upon acceleration or call for redemption, or otherwise), shall become part of the Pledged Collateral and, if received by the Pledgor, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee and shall forthwith be delivered to the Pledge Agent (accompanied by proper instruments of assignment and/or stock powers executed by the Pledgor in accordance with the Pledgee’s instructions) to be held subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.1 of the Note) and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, at the option of the Pledgee, (i) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting rights and powers which the Pledgor is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Pledgee, and the Pledgee shall have the exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and/or consensual rights and powers; and (ii) the Pledgee shall receive and be entitled to retain any and all cash dividends, if any, paid on the Pledged Collateral. Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Pledgee pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(b) above shall be retained by the Pledgee as part of the Pledged Collateral and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions hereof.
6. Remedies upon Events of Default.
(a) During the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.1 of the Note) then, in addition to having all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”), the Pledgee may, without being required to give any notice to the Pledgor, take any or all of the following actions: (i) apply the cash (if any) then held by it hereunder pursuant hereto to the payment in full of the Obligations, (ii) deliver to the Pledge Agent the written notice set forth in, and in the form of, Exhibit B hereto, take possession of the Pledged Collateral, and, at any time following the Pledgor’s written consent pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC, take ownership of such amount of the Pledged Collateral which represents an amount equal to the unsatisfied Obligations, and (iii) sell the Pledged Collateral as described below.
4
(b) In the event that the Pledgee elects to sell the Pledged Collateral, the Pledgee agrees to use reasonable efforts to sell only such number of shares thereof, the anticipated proceeds of which most nearly approximate the amount of the Obligations then owing to the Pledgee. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the terms of paragraph (e) below, in the event that the Pledgee elects to sell the Pledged Collateral it receives pursuant to this Agreement, the Pledgee shall have the power and right in connection with any such sale, exercisable at its option and in its absolute discretion, to sell, assign, and deliver the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral it receives pursuant to this Agreement at a private or public sale for cash, on credit or for future delivery and at such price as the Pledgee deems to be satisfactory. Notice of any public sale shall be sufficient if it describes the Pledged Collateral to be sold in general terms, and is published at least once in any newspaper then being circulated in New York, New York not less than seven (7) days prior to the date of sale. All requirements of reasonable notice under this Section 6 shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale or disposition, to the Pledgor at his address hereinafter set forth in Section 11 hereof. The Pledgee may, in its sole descretion, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Pledged Collateral it receives pursuant to this Agreement from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of the sale to be so postponed or adjourned without being required to give a new notice of sale.
(c) Because federal and state securities laws may restrict the methods of disposition of the Pledged Collateral which are readily available to the Pledgee, and specifically because a public sale thereof may be impossible or impracticable by reason of certain restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws as now or hereafter in effect, the Pledgor agrees that the Pledgee may from time to time attempt to sell the Pledged Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the offering or sale to a limited number of prospective purchasers who meet suitability standards the Pledgee deems appropriate and who agree that they are purchasing for their own accounts for investment and not with a view to distribution, and the Pledgee’s acceptance of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable disposition of the Pledged Collateral; it being understood that the Pledgee is not obligated to accept the highest offer, and instead may accept the best offer in its commercially reasonable judgment, taking into account such things as the offeror’s ability to perform. The Pledgee or its assigns may purchase all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and any purchaser thereof shall thereafter hold the same absolutely free from any right or claim of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to notice (other than notice to the Pledgor in the manner described in the penultimate sentence of Section 6(b) hereof) and may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale by an adjournment at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be held at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned. If any of the Pledged Collateral is sold by the Pledgee upon credit or for future delivery, the Pledgee shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to pay for the same and, in such event, the Pledgee may resell such Pledged Collateral and the Pledgor shall continue to be liable to the Pledgee for the full amount of the Obligations to the extent the Pledgee does not receive full and final payment in cash therefor.
5
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.1 of the Note) and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Pledgee may include in the written notice it delivers to the Pledge Agent pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof instructions that it will only take possession of such number of Pledged Shares at any time, which, together with the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Pledgee and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised Amended June 2008 Warrants and Amended December 2009 Warrants, as defined in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 of the Third Amendment, respectively, and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein)) would result in beneficial ownership by the Pledgee and its affiliates of not more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock. This notice shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the Pledgee’s right to receive additional Pledged Shares so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. This limitation may thereafter be waived by such Pledgee in its sole discretion; provided, however, such waiver may not be effective less than sixty-one (61) days from the date thereof.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Third Amendment, or any document, instrument or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, with respect to the proceeds arising from any sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral by or for the benefit of the Pledgee pursuant to the Pledgee’s exercise of rights and remedies in accordance with the terms of this Section 6, such proceeds shall be applied as follows:
first to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) of the Pledgee in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Pledgee under this Agreement;
second to the payment of the Obligations consisting of accrued interest owing to the Pledgee;
third to the payment of the Obligations consisting of principal owing to the Pledgee; and
finally to the payment to the Pledgor of the surplus, if any, of such proceeds.
For avoidance of doubt, in no event may such Pledgee retain, or be entitled to retain, for its own account or use, any such proceeds except in accordance with and to the extent set forth in the payment distribution described above in this Section 6(e).
6
7. Pledgee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. During the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.1 of the Note), the Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee as the Pledgor's attorneys-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgee shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment or other distribution payable or distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
8. Limitation on Pledgee’s Duty with Respect to Collateral. The Pledgee shall have no duty with respect to the Pledged Collateral in their possession or control or in the possession or control of the Pledge Agent, or with respect to any income thereon or to the preservation of rights pertaining thereto, other than the duty of reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in the Pledge Agent’s possession or control. The Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in their possession or control if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Pledgee accords its own property consisting of securities.
9. No Waiver. No failure on the part of a Pledgee to exercise, and not delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by a Pledgee preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Whether to waive any right, power or remedy hereunder shall be determined in the Pledgee’s sole discretion. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when the Obligations have been paid in full at which time the Pledgee shall reassign and redeliver to the Pledgor, without recourse or warranty (other than a warranty that the Pledgee has not assigned or transferred the Pledged Collateral so reassigned and redelivered or its respective security interests therein), and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgor, against receipt, such of the Pledged Collateral (if any) as shall not have been sold or transferred to satisfy all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof and is then still held by it hereunder, together with appropriate instruments for reassignment and release.
11. Addresses for Notices, Etc. Any notice, election, demand or other communication hereunder shall be in a signed writing and shall be deemed given or made when actually received by personal delivery or by facsimile transmission followed immediately by First Class mail, or two business days following the date when mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the appropriate party or parties, at the following addresses:

14. Binding Agreement; Assignment.
