NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above premises, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which being hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. Warranty. Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Secured Party that except for
the security interest created hereby, Buyer owns the Shares free and clear of all liens, charges
and encumbrances, and that Buyer has the unencumbered right to pledge the Shares.
2. Security Interest. Buyer hereby unconditionally grants and assigns to Secured
Party, its successors and assigns, a continuing security interest in the Shares. Buyer has
delivered to and deposited with Secured Party herewith all of its right, title and interest in and
to the Shares, together with certificates representing the Shares and a stock power endorsed in
blank by Buyer, as security for (i) all obligations to Secured Party hereunder; and (ii) payment
and performance of all obligations under the Note, or any extension, renewal, amendment or
modification thereof. Beneficial ownership of the Shares, including, without limitation, all
voting, consensual and dividend rights, shall remain in Buyer until the occurrence of a default
under the terms hereof (as defined in Section 4, below) and until Secured Party shall notify Buyer

declared or made in the capital structure of the Company, all new, substituted, and additional
shares, or other securities, issued by reason of any such change and received by Buyer or to which
Buyer shall be entitled by virtue of Buyer’s ownership of the Shares shall be immediately delivered
to Secured Party, together with stock powers endorsed in blank by Buyer, and shall thereupon
constitute Shares to be held by Secured Party under the terms of this Agreement; and
(b) subscriptions, warrants or any other rights or options shall be issued in connection with
the Shares, all new stock or other securities acquired through such subscriptions, warrants, rights
or options by Buyer shall be immediately delivered to Secured Party and shall thereupon constitute
Shares to be held by Secured Party under the terms of this Agreement.
4. Default. In the event of a default under the terms of this Agreement or the Note
(any of such occurrences being hereinafter referred to as a “Default”), subject to Buyer’s
right to cure described below, Secured Party may take possession of the Shares and may sell or
otherwise dispose of the Shares or make other commercially reasonable disposition of the Shares or
any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have ten (10) days from the date
it receives written notice of any payment default under the Note, or thirty (30) days from the date
it receives written notice of any non-payment default under the Note or this Agreement, to cure the
applicable default.
5. Additional Rights of Secured Parties. In addition to its rights and privileges
under this Agreement, Secured Party shall have all the rights, powers and privileges of secured

Agreement, Secured Party shall return to Buyer all of the Shares and all rights received by Secured
Party as agent for Buyer as a result of its possessory interest in the Shares.
7. Buyer’s Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Buyer under this Agreement shall
be direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against
any other person, nor against other security or liens available to Secured Party or its successors,
assigns or agents. Buyer hereby waives any right to require that an action be brought against any
other person or to require that resort be had to any other security in favor of Secured Party or
any other person prior to any exercise of rights or remedies hereunder.
8. Voting Rights.
(a) For so long as the Note remains unpaid, after a Default (subject to Buyer’s right to cure
described in Section 4), (i) Secured Party may, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Buyer of
its intention to do so, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights of
the Shares, but under no circumstances is Secured Party obligated by the terms of this Agreement to
exercise such rights, and (ii) Buyer hereby appoints Secured Party, which appointment shall be
effective on the fifth day following the giving of notice by Secured Party as provided above,
Buyer’s true and lawful attorney in fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote the Shares in any manner
Secured Party deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a
vote of shareholders. The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall
be irrevocable.

(b) For so long as Buyer shall have the right to vote the Shares, Buyer covenants and agrees
that it will not, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, (i) vote or take any
consensual action with respect to the Shares which would constitute a default under this Agreement,
(ii) cause, permit, or allow any significant assets of the Company to be leased, sold, conveyed,
pledged, hypothecated, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, at less than its fair
market value, or (iii) cause, permit or allow the Company to be dissolved or liquidated or to
acquire, be acquired by, merged or consolidated into or with any other person.

Agreement shall apply equally to this Agreement as if such provisions were restated in full in this
