EXHIBIT 10.1
PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This PLEDGE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into as of this 18th day of

"Debentures") issued by the Debtor in the principal amount of $137,900.00.
B. The Debtor has defaulted on repayment of the Debentures.
C. In order to prevent the Secured Party from commencing legal action against
the Debtor and to provide the Secured Party with additional security for
repayment of the Debentures, the Debtor has agreed to pledge to Secured Party
its 50% membership interest in Well Renewal, LLC, a Nevada limited liability
company (the "Membership Interest") in order to secure Debtor's payment of all
amounts due under the Debentures.

grant to Secured Party a security interest in and to the Membership Interest
(the "Pledged Membership Interest"), and any and all securities now or hereafter
issued in substitution, exchange or replacement therefor, together with any and
all dividends, distributions, redemption payments or liquidation payments with
respect to, and any and all rights, titles, interests, privileges, benefits and
preferences appertaining or incidental to, any of the foregoing (collectively,
the "Pledged Collateral").
1.2 Delivery of Pledged Collateral. Concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement, the Debtor shall deliver to Secured Party the certificates

3. Further Assurances. The Debtor agrees that at any time, and from time to
time, they will promptly execute, deliver and file or record all further
financing statements, instruments and documents, and will take all further
actions that may be necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party reasonably may
request, in order to perfect and protect the pledge or security interest granted
hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce Secured Party' rights
and remedies hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral and to preserve,
protect and maintain the Pledged Collateral and the value thereof, including
without limitation payment of all taxes, assessments and other charges imposed
on or relating to the Pledged Collateral. The Debtor hereby consents and agrees
that the issuers of, or obligors on, the Pledged Collateral, or any registrar or
transfer agent or trustee for any of the Pledged Collateral, shall be entitled
to accept the provisions of this Agreement as conclusive evidence of the right
of Secured Party to effect any transfer or exercise any right hereunder,
notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or
hereafter given by the Debtor or any other person to such issuers or such
obligors or to any such registrar or transfer agent or trustee.

defined in Section 7) occurs and remains continuing:
4.1 Voting Rights. The Debtor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting
and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, or any part
thereof, for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Debtor shall not exercise, or shall refrain from
exercising, any such right if it would result in an Event of Default, or an
event that with notice, lapse of time or both, would result in an Event of
Default.
4.2 Dividend and Distribution Rights. The Debtor shall be entitled to receive
and to retain and use any and all dividends or distributions paid in respect of
the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that any and all such dividends be,
and the certificates representing such capital stock forthwith shall be
delivered to Secured Party to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received
by the Debtor, be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, be
segregated from the other property of the Debtor and forthwith be delivered to
Secured Party as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any
necessary endorsements and stock powers).
5. Rights After Event of Default. After an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing:
5.1 Voting, Dividend and Distribution Rights. At the option of Secured Party and
upon written notice to the Debtor, all rights of the Debtor to exercise the
voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to
exercise pursuant to Section 4.1 above, and to receive the dividends and
distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to Section 4.2 above, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon
become vested in Secured Party, which shall thereupon have the sole right to
exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and to hold as
Pledged Collateral such dividends and distributions.

5.2 Dividends and Distributions Held in Trust. All dividends and other
distributions which are received by the Debtor contrary to the provisions of

over to Secured Party as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsements).
6. Transfer and Other Liens. The Debtor agrees that it will not (i) sell,
