STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This Stock Pledge Agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") is made and entered
into as of November 22, 2002, by and between XXXXXXX X. XXXXX ("Xxxxx") and XXXX
XXXXXXX ("Xxxxxxx").
X. Xxxxx has purchased from Xxxxxxx 250,000 outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock (the "Shares") of TMI Holdings, Inc., pursuant to a Stock
Purchase Agreement dated October 28, 2002 (the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms
used in the Pledge Agreement without definition shall have the respective
meanings given to them in the Agreement.
B. Pursuant to the Agreement, Xxxxx purchased the Shares from Xxxxxxx
and delivered to Xxxxxxx a Promissory Note (the "Note") of even date herewith
payable to Xxxxxxx representing the purchase price for the Shares.
X. Xxxxx is willing to pledge the marketable securities set forth on
Schedule A annexed hereto (the "Pledged Shares") subject to adjustment pursuant
to Section 1(b) hereof as security for payment of the Note on the terms and
conditions of this Pledge Agreement. The Pledged Shares shall be delivered to
the Escrow Agent and distributed pursuant to the Escrow Agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit X.
X. Xxxxxxx is willing to accept the pledge of the Pledged Shares as receipt
on the terms and conditions of this Pledge Agreement.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and
covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. PLEDGE AND DELIVERY OF THE SHARES.
---------------------------------------
(a) Xxxxx hereby delivers, pledges, assigns and transfers the Pledged
Shares, along with appropriate stock powers executed in blank to the Escrow
Agent with signature pledged guaranteed. The Pledged Shares together with all
distributions in the form of common stock comprises the collateral subject to
this Pledge Agreement (the "Collateral"). Xxxxx grants Xxxxxxx a security
interest in the Collateral in order to secure the payment of the Note.
(b) Xxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the Pledged Shares shall at all
times have a fair market value at least equal to $200,000 (the "Minimum Value").
The Pledged Shares shall be valued initially at the Closing Price on the date
hereof. Thereafter, the Pledged Shares shall be valued at the end of each
successive ten day period (a "Valuation Period") using an average of the closing
bid prices for each day in the Valuation Period. In the event the value of the
Pledged Shares at the end of any Valuation Period is less than the Minimum
Value, then Xxxxx shall add marketable securities to the Pledged Shares so that
the value of the Pledged Shares is not less than the Minimum Value, and shall
deliver such additional shares to the Escrow Agent. Xxxxx shall have the sole
discretion to select which securities constitute the Pledged Securities, and may
add or delete securities at any time as long as the Minimum Value is maintained.
2. TERM. The Shares pledged hereunder shall remain so pledged until
----
the Note is paid in full unless released pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof.
3. WARRANTY OF OWNERSHIP. Xxxxx represents and warrants to Xxxxxxx
-----------------------
that Xxxxx is the lawful owner of the Collateral, free of all claims and liens
with full right to deliver, hypothecate, pledge, assign and transfer the
interest of Xxxxx in the Collateral and that the Collateral is not subject to
any option or similar arrangement.
4. COVENANTS; VOTING RIGHTS; DIVIDENDS, ETC. So long as no Event of
--------------------------------------------
Default (as defined in Section 5 hereof) shall have occurred and be continuing
Xxxxx shall be entitled to exercise his voting rights and other consensual
rights and to receive and retain any cash dividends, or other distributions of
property paid, payable or otherwise distributed in cash, in respect of the
Collateral.
5. DEFAULT.
-------
(a) EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events with respect to Xxxxx shall constitute an event of default hereunder
("Events of Default") with respect to Xxxxx:
(i) Xxxxx shall assign, attempt to encumber, subject to further pledge
or security interest, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the
Collateral without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx;
(ii) Xxxxx shall fail to pay the principal of the Note when due in
accordance with the terms of the Note or otherwise default under this
Pledge Agreement;
(iii) Xxxxx shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect
any material covenant, condition or agreement required to be observed or
performed by Xxxxx hereunder or under the Note;
(iv) any material representation or warranty made by Xxxxx herein is
false or incorrect in any material respect;
(v) If, pursuant to or within the meaning of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state law relating to insolvency or
relief of debtors (a "Bankruptcy Law"), Xxxxx shall (i) commence a
voluntary case or proceeding; (ii) consent to the entry of an order for
relief against him in an involuntary case; (iii) consent to the appointment
of a trustee, receiver, assignee, liquidator or similar official; (iv) make
an assignment for the benefit of his creditors; or (v) admit in writing his
inability to pay his debts as they become due.
(b) REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing:
(i) All rights of Xxxxx to exercise his voting and other consensual
rights which he would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease, and
all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Xxxxxxx who shall
thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual
rights.
(ii) All rights of Xxxxx to receive cash dividends or other
distributions in cash, which he would otherwise be authorized to receive
and retain pursuant to Section 4 shall cease and all rights to dividends
and other distributions shall thereupon be vested in Xxxxxxx, who shall
thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such cash
dividends or other distributions. All dividends and other distributions
which are received by Xxxxx contrary to these provisions shall be received
in trust for the benefit of Xxxxxxx, shall be segregated from other
property or funds of Xxxxx and shall be forthwith delivered to Xxxxxxx as
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement).
(iii) All rights of Xxxxx to sell all or any portion of the Collateral
which they would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 4
shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Xxxxxxx
who shall thereupon have the sole right to sell the Collateral in
accordance with the provisions of this Pledge Agreement.
(iv) Xxxxxxx may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it,
all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in the State of Florida at that time, and Xxxxxxx
may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral at
a public or private sale, for cash and at such price or prices and upon
such other terms as are commercially reasonable and in such manner as
necessary to comply with applicable federal and state securities laws.
Xxxxxxx shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to
do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who
will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their
own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale
thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale Xxxxxxx shall have the
right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at any
such sale and such purchasers shall hold the property sold absolutely, free
from any claim or right on the part of Xxxxx. To the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, Xxxxxxx shall give Xxxxx at least ten business
days notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made, which Shareholder agrees shall
constitute reasonable notification. At any such sale, Xxxxxxx may bid
(which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of the
Note) for and purchase the whole of the Collateral. Xxxxxxx shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. Xxxxxxx may adjourn any public or private sale from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
so adjourned. Xxxxx agrees that any sale of the Collateral conducted by
Xxxxxxx in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall
be deemed to be a commercially reasonable sale. As an alternative to
exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, Xxxxxxx may proceed
by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interest
granted under this Agreement and to sell the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction.
(v) All cash proceeds received by Xxxxxxx in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon or any part of the Collateral
following the occurrence of an Event of Default must be applied first
against all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
Xxxxxxx in connection with Xxxxxxx' exercise of any or all of its rights
and remedies under this Pledge Agreement, including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, and then against the Note upon receipt.
(vi) Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by Xxxxxxx and
remaining after payment in full of the Note shall be paid over to Xxxxx or
to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
