terms hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event

such time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or
evidencing Pledged Stock for certificates or instruments of smaller or
larger denominations.
4. Representations and Warranties of each Pledgor. Each Pledgor
jointly and severally represents and warrants to the Pledgee (which
representations and warranties shall be deemed to continue to be made
until all of the Obligations have been paid in full and each Document and
each agreement and instrument entered into in connection therewith has
been irrevocably terminated) that:
(a) the execution, delivery and performance by each Pledgor of
this Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral hereunder do not and

5. Covenants. Each Pledgor jointly and severally covenants that,
until the Obligations shall be indefeasibly satisfied in full and each
Document and each agreement and instrument entered into in connection
therewith is irrevocably terminated:
(a) No Pledgor will sell, assign, transfer, convey, or
otherwise dispose of its rights in or to the Collateral or any
interest therein; nor will any Pledgor create, incur or permit to
exist any Lien whatsoever with respect to any of the Collateral or
the proceeds thereof other than that created hereby.
(b) Each Pledgor will, at its expense, defend Pledgee's right,
title and security interest in and to the Collateral against the
claims of any other party.
(c) Each Pledgor shall at any time, and from time to time,
upon the written request of Pledgee, execute and deliver such
further documents and do such further acts and things as Pledgee may
reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement including, but without limitation, delivering to Pledgee,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, irrevocable proxies in
respect of the Collateral in form satisfactory to Pledgee. Until
receipt thereof, upon an Event of Default that has occurred and is
continuing beyond any applicable grace period, this Agreement shall
constitute Pledgor's proxy to Pledgee or its nominee to vote all
shares of Collateral then registered in each Pledgor's name.
(d) No Pledgor will consent to or approve the issuance of (i)
any additional shares of any class of capital stock or other equity

occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event or condition into, or any
securities exchangeable for, any such shares, unless, in either
case, such shares are pledged as Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement.
6. Voting Rights and Dividends. Unless an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any
voting rights with respect to the Collateral and to give consents, waivers
and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast
or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be
inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would
constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights
of Pledgor to vote and give consents, waiver and ratifications shall upon
notice to Pledgor cease in case such an Event of Default hereunder shall
occur and be continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Pledgor shall
be permitted to exercise or refrain from exercising any voting rights or
other powers if, in the reasonable judgment of the Pledgee, such action
would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or any
part thereof. In addition to the Pledgee's rights and remedies set forth
in Section 8 hereof, in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, beyond any applicable cure period, the Pledgee shall (i) be
entitled to vote the Collateral, (ii) be entitled to give consents,
waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral (each Pledgor
hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee, with full
power of substitution, the proxy and attorney-in-fact of each Pledgor for
such purposes) and (iii) be entitled to collect and receive for its own
use cash dividends paid on the Collateral. Following the occurrence of an
Event of Default, all dividends and all other distributions in respect of
any of the Collateral, shall be delivered to the Pledgee to hold as
Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for
the benefit of the Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds
of any other Pledgor, and be forthwith
4
delivered to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsement).
7. Event of Default. An "Event of Default" under this Agreement
shall occur upon the happening of any of the following events:
(a) A failure by any Pledgor to make payment of any of the
Obligations when required or an "Event of Default" under any
Document, the Security Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2005 by and
among the Company and the Pledgee (as amended, modified or
supplemented from time to time, the "Security Agreement"), any
Ancillary Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement) or any
agreement or note related to any Document, the Security Agreement or
any Ancillary Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing beyond
any applicable cure period;
(b) Any Pledgor shall default in the performance of any of its
obligations under any Document, including, without limitation, this
Agreement, and such default shall not be cured during the cure
period applicable thereto;
(c) Any representation or warranty of any Pledgor made herein,
in any Document or in any agreement, statement or certificate given
in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or
therewith shall be false or misleading in any material respect;
(d) Any portion of the Collateral is subjected to a levy of
execution, attachment, distraint or other judicial process or any
portion of the Collateral is the subject of a claim (other than by
the Pledgee) of a Lien or other right or interest in or to the
Collateral and such levy or claim shall not be cured, disputed or
stayed within a period of fifteen (15) business days after the
occurrence thereof; or
(e) Any Pledgor shall (i) apply for, consent to, or suffer to
exist the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a
receiver, custodian, trustee, liquidator or other fiduciary of
itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) make a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) commence a
voluntary case under any state or federal bankruptcy laws (as now or
hereafter in effect), (iv) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent,
(v) file a petition seeking to take advantage of any other law
providing for the relief of debtors, (vi) acquiesce to, or fail to
have dismissed, within thirty (30) days, any petition filed against
it in any involuntary case under such bankruptcy laws, or (vii) take
any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.
8. Remedies. In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, the Pledgee may:
(a) Transfer any or all of the Collateral into its name, or
into the name of its nominee or nominees;
(b) Exercise all corporate rights with respect to the
Collateral including, without limitation, all rights of conversion,
exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options
pertaining to any shares of the Collateral as if it were the
absolute owner thereof, including, but without limitation, the right
to exchange, at its discretion, any or all of the
5
Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or other readjustment of the Issuer thereof, or
upon the exercise by the Issuer of any right, privilege or option
pertaining to any of the Collateral, and, in connection therewith,
to deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral with any
committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated
agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all
without liability except to account for property actually received
by it; and
(c) Subject to any requirement of applicable law, sell, assign
and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the
Collateral at the time held by the Pledgee, at any private sale or
at public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or notice
of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or otherwise
(all of which are hereby waived, except such notice as is required
by applicable law and cannot be waived), for cash or credit or for
other property for immediate or future delivery, and for such price
or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its sole discretion
may determine, or as may be required by applicable law.
Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases any and all right or
equity of redemption, whether before or after sale hereunder. At any
such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee may bid
for and purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold
free from any such right or equity of redemption. All moneys
received by the Pledgee hereunder, whether upon sale of the
Collateral or any part thereof or otherwise, shall be held by the
Pledgee and applied by it as provided in Section 10 hereof. No
failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising any rights
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such rights preclude any other or
future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights
hereunder. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or
protection of the Collateral or any income thereon nor any duty as
to preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, except to apply
the funds in accordance with the requirements of Section 10 hereof.
The Pledgee may exercise its rights with respect to property held
hereunder without resort to other security for or sources of
reimbursement for the Obligations. In addition to the foregoing,
Pledgee shall have all of the rights, remedies and privileges of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of New York (the
"UCC") regardless of the jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is
sought.
9. Private Sale. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be
unable to effect (or to do so only after delay which would adversely
affect the value that might be realized from the Collateral) a public sale
of all or part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a
restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other
things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor
agrees that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less
favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private
sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. Each Pledgor agrees that the Pledgee has no obligation to delay
sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the
Issuer to register the Collateral for public sale under the Securities
Act.
10. Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any collection, recovery,
receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral shall be
applied by the Pledgee as follows:
6
(a) First, to the payment of all costs, reasonable expenses
and charges of the Pledgee and to the reimbursement of the Pledgee
for the prior payment of such costs, reasonable expenses and charges
incurred in connection with the care and safekeeping of the
Collateral (including, without limitation, the reasonable expenses
of any sale or any other disposition of any of the Collateral),
attorneys' fees and reasonable expenses, court costs, any other fees
or expenses incurred or expenditures or advances made by Pledgee in
the protection, enforcement or exercise of its rights, powers or
remedies hereunder;
(b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations, in whole or in
part, in such order as the Pledgee may elect, whether or not such
Obligations is then due;
(c) Third, to such persons, firms, corporations or other
entities as required by applicable law including, without
limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC; and
(d) Fourth, to the extent of any surplus to the Pledgors or as
a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
In the event that the proceeds of any collection, recovery,
receipt, appropriation, realization or sale are insufficient to
satisfy the Obligations, each Pledgor shall be jointly and severally
liable for the deficiency plus the costs and fees of any attorneys
employed by Pledgee to collect such deficiency.
11. Waiver of Marshaling. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right to
compel any marshaling of any of the Collateral.
12. No Waiver. Any and all of the Pledgee's rights with respect to
the Liens granted under this Agreement shall continue unimpaired, and
Pledgor shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof,
notwithstanding (a) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any
Pledgor, (b) the release or substitution of any item of the Collateral at
any time, or of any rights or interests therein, or (c) any delay,
extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the
Pledgee in reference to any of the Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby waives
all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal,
compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consents to be bound hereby as
fully and effectively as if such Pledgor had expressly agreed thereto in
advance. No delay or extension of time by the Pledgee in exercising any
power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no failure
by the Pledgee to give notice or make demand, shall constitute a waiver
thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice the Pledgee's right to take any
action against any Pledgor or to exercise any other power of sale, option
or any other right or remedy.
13. Expenses. The Collateral shall secure, and each Pledgor shall
pay to Pledgee on demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and
expenses, (including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs, taxes, and all transfer, recording, filing and other charges) of,
or incidental to, the custody, care, transfer, administration of the
Collateral or any other collateral, or in any way relating to the
enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of the
Pledgee under this Agreement or with respect to any of the Obligations.
7
14. The Pledgee Appointed Attorney-In-Fact and Performance by the
Pledgee. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Pledgee as such Pledgor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full
power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments
and to do in such Pledgor's name, place and stead, all such acts, things
and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of such Pledgor, which such
Pledgor could or might do or which the Pledgee may deem necessary,
desirable or convenient to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, to execute such instruments of assignment
or transfer or orders and to register, convey or otherwise transfer title
to the Collateral into the Pledgee's name. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies
and confirms all that said attorney-in-fact may so do and hereby declares
this power of attorney to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable. If
any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement herein contained, the Pledgee
may itself perform or cause performance thereof, and any costs and
expenses of the Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by
the Pledgors as provided in Section 10 hereof.
15. Waivers. THE PARTIES HERETO DESIRES THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE
RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE
THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER
ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN LAURUS, AND/OR ANY COMPANY
ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP
ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEN IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
16. Recapture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if the Pledgee receives any payment or payments on account of
the Obligations, which payment or payments or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other
party under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other
federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally,
common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not
finally retained by the Pledgee, each Pledgor's obligations to the Pledgee
shall be reinstated and this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to Pledgee,
which payment shall be due on demand.
17. Captions. All captions in this Agreement are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute part of this
Agreement for any other purpose.
