Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgor, the Company or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral and Additional Collateral or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Pledgee or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Pledgee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold. The Pledgee shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in respect thereof or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Pledgee hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of counsel to the Pledgee, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Pledgee may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Pledgee of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 679.615 of the Code, need the Pledgee account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgor.

The Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Pledgee to collect such deficiency, and this Agreement shall at all times be considered a pledge made with full recourse against the Pledgor.

13. Pledgor Authorization. Pledgor authorizes Pledgee, without notice or demand, and without affecting the liability of Pledgor hereunder, from time to time to:
(a) hold security in addition to and other than the Collateral for the payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any Collateral or any part thereof, or any other such security, or part thereof;
(b) release any of the endorsers or guarantors of the Obligations secured hereunder or any part thereof, or any other person whomsoever liable for or on account of such Obligations;
(c) on the transfer of all or any part of the Obligations secured hereunder, Pledgee may assign all or any part of Pledgee's security interest in the Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to the Collateral so transferred, provided that in no event shall Pledgee be liable for any act or omission or negligent act or negligent omission with respect to the Collateral, other than acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, willful misconduct or tortuous breach of contract.

14. Stock Power. In furtherance of Pledgee's security interest in the Collateral, Pledgor has delivered to Pledgee the Pledged Stock, together with all stock powers executed by Pledgor, to hold as collateral security pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
15. Attorney in Fact. With respect to the Collateral, Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Pledgee its attorney-in-fact, to arrange for the transfer of the Collateral to the name of Pledgee subsequent to the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) hereunder. Pledgee, however, shall be under no obligation to do so. Such appointment shall be deemed to have been coupled with an interest.
16. Private Sales. The Pledgor recognizes that, in the absence of registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Pledgee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Pledgee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Company to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Company would agree to do so. The Pledgor agrees that the Pledgee shall not incur any liability, and any liability of the Pledgor for any deficiency shall not be impaired, as a result of the sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof at any such private sale in a manner that the Pledgee reasonably believes is commercially reasonable (within the meaning of Section 679-627 of the Uniform Commercial Code). The Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Pledgee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Pledgee shall accept the first offer received and does not offer any portion of the Collateral to more than one possible purchaser.
Any sale hereunder may be conducted by an officer or agent of Pledgee. The proceeds of such sale and all sums received or collected by Pledgee from or on account of the shares so sold, shall be applied by Pledgee first to the payment of expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Pledgee in connection with the sale or transfer of said shares, and second to the payment of the Obligations under the Note.
Pledgor hereby agrees that any disposition of the Pledged Stock by way of a private placement or other method which in the opinion of Pledgee is required or advisable under federal and state securities laws is commercially reasonable. At any bona fide sale which qualifies as a public sale under the Florida Commercial Code, Pledgee may (if Pledgee is the highest bidder) purchase all or any part of the Stock at such price as Pledgee deems proper.
17. Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. The Pledgee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 679-2071 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Pledgee deals with similar securities and property for its own account. Neither the Pledgee nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral under the request of the Pledgor or otherwise
8
18. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and constitute powers coupled with an interest in the Event of Default.
19. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
