NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual

parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Agreement:
(a) "Collateral" means (i) an aggregate of 750,000 common shares, $.01
par value per share, of CHR owned by Pledgors ("Stock") in the proportions set
forth on Schedule A on the date hereof, (ii) any dividends or distributions,
distributions in property, returns of capital or other distributions made on or
with respect to any of the foregoing shares, and (iii) all proceeds of the
foregoing.
(b) "Event of Default" means (i) any failure by an Individual Pledgor
to fully and punctually pay or perform one or more of its obligations pursuant
to Section 9.8 or Article 12 of the Merger Agreement (collectively, the "Secured
Obligations"), as determined by at least a majority of all of CHR's
disinterested directors who are non-employee directors, regardless of whether
either of the Secured Parties has exercised its rights under Section 13.2 of the
Merger Agreement, (ii) the unenforceability of Secured Parties' security
interest in the Collateral with
the priority set forth herein for any reason whatsoever, or (iii) any breach by
an Individual Pledgor of any of its obligations under this Agreement that is not
cured within five (5) business days after such Individual Pledgor's receipt of
Secured Parties' written notice thereof.
2. PLEDGE OF COLLATERAL
(a) As additional security for the payment and performance by Pledgors
of all of the Secured Obligations and all of their obligations under this
Agreement, each Individual Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Secured
Parties a first priority security interest in all of its or his right, title and
interest in and to the Collateral and the proceeds thereof (the "Pledge").
(b) In the event the shares of Stock included in the Collateral are
certificated:
(i) simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each Individual Pledgor is delivering to Secured Parties certificates
representing the shares of Collateral described in clause (i) of Section 1(a)
and according to the listing of shares of Collateral set forth in the attached
Schedule A, and will deliver to Secured Parties all certificates relating to the
Collateral described in clause (ii) of Section 1(a) within five (5) days after
each Individual Pledgor's acquisition thereof, all of which certificates shall
be registered in the name of the appropriate Individual Pledgor, duly endorsed
in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed by the appropriate
Individual Pledgor in blank, together with any documentary tax stamps and any
other documents necessary to cause Secured Parties to have a good, valid and
perfected first pledge of, lien on and security interest in the Collateral, free
and clear of any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, hypothecation,
assignment, charge, right, encumbrance or restriction (individually,
"Encumbrance," and collectively, "Encumbrances"), but subject to restrictions
set forth in state and federal securities laws or restrictions set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement and accompanying Lock-Up Agreement executed in
connection with the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement). At any time
following an Event of Default, any or all of the shares of the Collateral held
by Secured Parties hereunder may, at the option of Secured Parties exercised in
accordance with Sections 3(b) and 5(c), be registered in the names of Secured
Parties or in the name of their nominee; and
(ii) Secured Parties hereby confirm receipt of the certificates
representing the Collateral described in clause (i) of Section 1(a) and agree to
hold such certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) In the event the shares of Stock included in the Collateral are
uncertificated, each Individual Pledgor agrees to take such actions and execute,
deliver and file such instruments and documents, including without limitation,
one or more financing statements, as the Secured Parties may request to perfect
the Secured Parties' interest in the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.
3. RIGHTS OF PLEDGORS WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:
-2-
(i) Each Individual Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and
all voting and/or consensual rights and powers relating or pertaining to such
Individual Pledgor's portion of the Collateral, subject to the terms hereof,
including any and all rights under the Registration Rights Agreement.
(ii) Each Individual Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and
retain cash dividends or distributions payable on such Individual Pledgor's
portion of the Collateral; provided, however, that all other dividends or
distributions (including, without limitation, stock and liquidating dividends or
distributions), distributions in property, returns of capital and other
distributions made on or in respect of the Collateral, whether resulting from a
subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock of
CHR or received in exchange for the Collateral or any part thereof or as a
result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to
which CHR may be a party or otherwise, and any and all cash and other property
received in exchange for or redemption of any of the Collateral, shall be
retained by Secured Parties, or, if delivered to Pledgors, shall be held in
trust for the benefit of Secured Parties and forthwith delivered to Secured
Parties within five (5) days of the acquisition thereof and shall be considered
as part of the Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement.
(iii) Secured Parties shall execute and deliver (or cause to be
executed and delivered) to Pledgors all such proxies, powers of attorney,
dividend or distribution orders, and other instruments as Pledgors may
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling each Individual Pledgor to
exercise its or his voting and/or consensual rights and powers which such
Individual Pledgor is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) above
and/or to receive the dividends or distributions which such Individual Pledgor
is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii), and each
Individual Pledgor shall execute and deliver to Secured Parties such instruments
as may be required or may be requested by Secured Parties to enable Secured
Parties to receive and retain the dividends or distributions, distributions in
property, returns of capital and other distributions it is authorized to receive
and retain pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii).
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, all rights of each Individual Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or
consensual rights and powers which such Individual Pledgor is entitled to
exercise pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) and/or to receive the dividends or
distributions which such Individual Pledgor is authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii) shall cease, at the option of Secured Parties, on
not less than one (1) day's written notice to Pledgors, and all such rights
shall thereupon become vested in Secured Parties, who shall have the sole and
exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and/or consensual rights
and powers and/or to receive and retain such dividends or distributions. In such
case, each Individual Pledgor shall execute and deliver such documents as
Secured Parties may request to enable Secured Parties to exercise such rights
and receive such dividends or distributions. In addition, Secured Parties are
hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of each Individual Pledgor, with full
power of substitution, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest, to take all such actions after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether in the name of Secured
Parties or an Individual Pledgor, as Secured Parties may consider necessary or
desirable for the purpose of exercising such rights and receiving such dividends
or distributions. Any and all money and other property paid over to or received
by Secured Parties pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(b) shall
-3-
be retained by Secured Parties as part of the Collateral and shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions hereof.
4. SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL
Provided that no Event of Default shall then have occurred and be
continuing, any Individual Pledgor may at any time propose that Secured Parties
accept substitute collateral and/or credit support (e.g., an irrevocable standby
letter of credit) in lieu of any of such Individual Pledgor's portion of the
Collateral as may be specified in writing by such Individual Pledgor. If, in the
sole judgment of Secured Parties, such proposed substitute collateral or credit
support (hereinafter referred to as "Replacement Assurances") is satisfactory in
form and comfort to Secured Parties and affords Secured Parties protection at
least equivalent to the protection afforded by such Individual Pledgor's portion
of the Collateral, then the Individual Pledgor and Secured Parties shall
cooperate, at the Individual Pledgor's sole cost and expense, to effect the
substitution of such Replacement Assurances for such Individual Pledgor's
portion of the Collateral, including (i) the preparation, execution, delivery
and filing of such agreements and other documents as may be requested by Secured
Parties in order to create and perfect in favor of Secured Parties a perfected
first-priority security interest in the proposed substitute collateral and/or to
establish Secured Parties' recourse to the proposed credit support, and (ii)
execution and delivery of such documents as may be necessary to release the
Secured Parties' security interest in such Collateral.
5. REMEDIES OF DEFAULT
(a) If at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then, in addition to having the right to exercise any right or
remedy of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code as then
in effect in the jurisdiction in which the Collateral is held by Secured Parties
and the right to exercise any right or remedy of Secured Parties under the
Merger Agreement or otherwise, Secured Parties shall, to the extent permitted by
law, without being required to give any notice to Pledgors except as provided
below:
(i) Apply any cash held by them hereunder in the manner provided
in Section 5(g);
(ii) If there shall be no such cash or if the cash so applied
shall be insufficient to pay in full the items specified in Sections 5(g)(i) and
(ii), collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral or any part
thereof, and/or sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and
deliver the Collateral or any part thereof, in its entirety or in portions, at
public or private sale or at any broker's board, on any securities exchange or
at any of Secured Parties' places of business or elsewhere, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as Secured Parties
may deem best, and Secured Parties may (except as otherwise provided by law) be
the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold and thereafter may hold
the same, absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind, but shall
in each case be subject to the terms and conditions of the Lock-Up Agreement;
and
(iii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Parties
or their nominee shall have the right, upon not less than one (1) day's notice
to Pledgors, to exercise
-4-
any and 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, without limitation, the right to
exchange, at their discretion, any or all of the Collateral upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of CHR, or
upon the exercise by CHR of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any
such shares 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 agency upon such terms and conditions as
Secured Parties may determine.
(b) In the event of a sale as aforesaid, Secured Parties are
authorized to, at any such sale, if they deem it advisable to do so, restrict
the number of prospective bidders or purchasers and/or further restrict such
prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that
they meet such suitability standards as Secured Parties may deem appropriate,
are purchasing for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the
distribution or resale of the Collateral, and may otherwise require that such
sale be conducted subject to restrictions as to such other matters as Secured
Parties may deem necessary in order that such sale may be effected in such
manner as to comply with all applicable state and federal securities laws. Upon
any such sale, Secured Parties shall have the right to deliver, assign and
transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the
event Secured Parties exercise any of their remedies hereunder against any
portion of the Collateral representing less than all of the Collateral, Secured
Parties agree to do so on a pro-rata basis according to each Individual
Pledgor's proportionate share of the Collateral.
(d) (i) Pledgors hereby acknowledge that, notwithstanding that a
higher price might be obtained for the Collateral at a public sale than at a
private sale or sales, the making of a public sale of the Collateral may be
subject to registration requirements under applicable securities laws and
similar other legal restrictions, compliance with which would require such
actions on the part of Pledgors, would entail such expenses, and would subject
Secured Parties, any underwriter through whom the Collateral may be sold and any
controlling person of any of the foregoing to such liabilities, as would make a
public sale of the Collateral impractical or inadvisable. Accordingly, Pledgors
hereby agree that private sales made by Secured Parties in good faith in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 5(a) or (b) may be at prices and on
other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Collateral were sold at
public sale, and that Secured Parties shall not have any obligation to take any
steps in order to permit the Collateral to be sold at public sale, a private
sale being considered or deemed to be a sale in a commercially reasonable
manner.
(ii) Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property
sold, absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any
equity or right of redemption of any Individual Pledgor, each of whom hereby
specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which any
Individual Pledgor has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing
or hereafter adopted. Secured Parties shall give Pledgors not less than five (5)
days' written notice of its intention to make any such public or private sale.
Such notice, in case of a public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for
such sale, and, in case of a sale at broker's board, on a securities exchange,
at one or more of Secured Parties' places of
-5-
business or elsewhere, shall state the board, exchange or other location at
which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or that
portion thereof so being sold, will first be offered for sale at such location.
Such notice, in case of a private sale, shall state only the date on or after
which such sale may be made. Any such notice given as aforesaid shall be deemed
to be reasonable notification. Notwithstanding the above, all sales of the
Collateral shall be subject to applicable state and federal securities laws.
(iii) Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times
within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured Parties
may fix in the notice of such sale. At any sale the Collateral may be sold in
one lot as an entirety or in parts, as Secured Parties may determine, but in all
cases subject to Section 5(c). Secured Parties shall not be obligated to make
any sale pursuant to any such notice. Secured Parties may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may
be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of
any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery,
the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Parties until the selling
price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Secured Parties shall not incur any
liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the
Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again
be sold upon like notice.
(iv) On any sale of the Collateral, Secured Parties are hereby
authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such
sale that it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any
violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the
purchaser or purchasers by any governmental regulatory authority or officer or
court.
(v) Subject to Section 5(c), it is expressly understood and
agreed by Pledgors that Secured Parties may proceed against all or any portion
or portions of the Collateral and all other collateral securing the Secured
Obligations in such order and at such time as Secured Parties, in their sole
discretion, see fit, and Pledgors hereby expressly waive any rights under the
doctrine of marshalling of assets.
(vi) Compliance with the foregoing procedures shall result in
such sale or disposition being considered or deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner.
(e) Secured Parties, instead of exercising the power of sale herein
conferred upon them, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to
foreclose their lien or security interest arising from this Agreement and sell
the Collateral, or any portion thereof in a manner consistent with Section 5(c),
under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.
(f) Each of the rights, powers, and remedies provided herein or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power
or remedy provided for herein or therein or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity or by statute or otherwise. The exercise of any such right, power or
remedy shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any or
-6-
all other such rights, powers or remedies, including under the Merger Agreement,
except there shall be no duplication of recovery. No notice to or demand on
Pledgors in any case shall entitle Pledgors to any other notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.
(g) The proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization or sale as aforesaid shall be applied by Secured Parties in the
following order:
(i) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses of every kind
incurred by Secured Parties in connection therewith or incidental to the care,
safekeeping or otherwise of any of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses;
(ii) Second, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations; and
(iii) Finally, to the payment to Pledgors of any surplus then
remaining from such proceeds unless otherwise required by law or directed by a
court of competent jurisdiction. The payment of any such surplus to Pledgors
shall be made in proportion to each Individual Pledgor's share of the
Collateral.
6. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF PLEDGORS
