receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Pledgor hereby grants
Pledgee a security interest in the capital stock identified in Exhibit A annexed
hereto, the certificates for which Pledgor has delivered to Pledgee together
with a stock transfer power executed in blank (the "Collateral").
2. Obligations Secured. The security interest in the Collateral granted
hereby secures payment and performance of the obligations of Pledgor to Pledgee,

even date herewith in the principal amount of $__________ (the "Note"), together

reasonable care to secure the safe custody thereof. Pledgee shall have the right
but not the obligation to (a) demand, sue for, receive and collect all money or
money damages payable on account of any Collateral, (b) protect, preserve or

event that any adverse claim is asserted in respect of the Collateral or any
portion

remedy of Pledgee hereunder or defending, protecting or enforcing the security
interests created hereunder. Any such loss, liability or expense so incurred
shall be paid by Pledgor upon demand, become part of the obligations secured by

distribution and shall hold the amount thereof in trust for Pledgee unless and
until Pledgee shall in writing release Pledgor from such trust. Pledgor shall
cause all non-cash dividends and distributions with respect to the Collateral to

transfer the Collateral;
(c) If Pledgor fails to fulfill any obligation hereunder and
such obligation shall not be fulfilled within sixty (60) days thereafter; or
(d) If the "fair market value" per share of the Collateral is
at or below $.20 per share. For purposes of this Section 7(d), the "fair market
value" per share of the Collateral shall be the price determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors of the Company.

defined in the preceding section, Pledgee may, if Pledgee so elects in its sole
option:
7
(a) at any time and from time to time, sell, assign and
deliver the whole or any part of the Collateral at a sale through a broker in a
public market where securities of the type constituting such Collateral are
usually traded, without any advertisement, presentment, demand or performance,
protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor or any other notice;
(b) at any time and from time to time sell, assign and deliver
all or any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, at any other public

future delivery without such assumption of credit risk, and for such price or
prices and on such terms as Pledgee in its absolute discretion may determine,
provided that (i) at least ten days' notice of the time and place any such sale
shall be given to Pledgor, and (ii) in the case of any private sale, such notice
shall also contain the terms of the proposed sale and Pledgee shall sell the
Collateral proposed to be sold to any purchaser procured by Pledgor who is
ready, willing and able to purchase, and who prior to the time of such sale
tenders the purchase price of, such Collateral on terms more favorable to
Pledgee than the terms contained in such notice;

dividends and other distributions, and all other rights with respect to the

(e) exercise all other rights available to a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law.

sole discretion; and, third, the surplus (if any) shall be paid to Pledgor.
