A.           The parties have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, for the acquisition of the Company, and as a part of the consideration thereunder, Payee has agreed to accept a Secured Promissory Note and a Convertible Debenture (the “Debts”) also dated as of the date hereof.

 

B.             As a condition to Payee accepting the Debts, Pledgor is to pledge the Pledged Stock to secure Pledgor’s payment of its obligations thereunder.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings provided therefore in the Debts.  Terms used herein and not defined in the Debts or otherwise defined herein that are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of Texas have such defined meanings herein, unless the context otherwise indicates or requires, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

1.                                       Obligations.  The term “Obligations” shall mean all of Buyer’s obligations under the Debts, and shall include the Pledgor’s obligations to the Payee pursuant to this Agreement.

3.                                       Event of Default means a default under the terms of the Debts.

 

Terms and Conditions

 

1.                                       Security for Obligations.

any Obligation, all of the Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the Pledged Stock, as defined in this Agreement.

 

2.                                       Remedy.   If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not be cured, Payee shall thereafter have the following right and remedy (to the extent permitted by applicable law):  Payee may cause all or any part of the Pledged Stock held by it to be transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees.

 

3.                                       Defeasance (Return of Pledged Stock).  When all Obligations arising under the Debts have been paid, performed and reasonably determined by the Payee to have been indefeasibly discharged in full, this Agreement shall terminate and, at the Pledgor’s written request, accompanied by such certificates and other items as the Payee shall reasonably deem necessary, the Pledged Stock shall revert to the Pledgor and the right, title and interest of the Payee therein shall terminate.  Thereupon, on the Pledgor’s demand and at its cost and expense, the Payee shall execute proper instruments, acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Agreement, and shall redeliver to the Pledgor any Pledged Stock then in its possession.

 

4.                                       Liquidation, Recapitalization, Etc..  Any value received by Pledgor upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Company shall be paid over and delivered to the Payee to be held by the Payee as security for the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations.  In case, pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the Company thereof or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of any of the Pledged Stock shall be distributed and be delivered to the Payee to be held by it as security for the Obligations.  All sums of money paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Stock, whether upon such a liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or reclassification or otherwise, that are received by the Pledgor shall, until paid or delivered to the Payee, be held in trust for the Payee as security for the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations.

 

5.                                       Covenants with Respect to Pledged Stock.  The Pledgor covenants that all shares of capital stock and similar securities included in the Pledged Stock shall be at all times duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and (in the case of capital stock) nonassessable.  The Pledgor will deliver to the Payee certificates representing the Pledged Stock, registered, if the Payee so requests, in the name of the Payee or its nominee or accompanied by a stock transfer power executed in blank and, if the Payee so requests, with the signature guaranteed, all in form and manner satisfactory to the Payee.  From and after an Event of Default which has not been cured, the Payee may at any time transfer into its name or the name of its nominee any Pledged Stock.

 

6.                                       No Liens or Restrictions on Transfer or Change of Control.  All Pledged Stock shall be free and clear of any liens and restrictions on the transfer thereof, except for restrictions on transfer permitted by this Agreement.  None of the Pledged Stock shall be subject to any option to purchase or similar rights of any Company.

 

7.                                       Voting of Pledged Stock.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to vote the Stock and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Pledged Stock; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given by the Pledgor if the effect thereof would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any of the provisions of the Debts, and the Payee will, if so requested, execute appropriate revocable proxies therefore.  All such rights of the Pledgor to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications with respect to the Pledged Stock shall, at the Payee’s option, as evidenced by the Payee’s notifying the Pledgor of such election, cease in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred which has not been cured, if and to the extent that the Payee shall so notify the Pledgor in writing, only the Payee or its assigns or successors in interest shall be entitled to vote or consent or take any other action with respect to the Pledged Stock (and the Pledgor will, if so requested, execute or cause to be executed appropriate proxies therefore).
