NOW THEREFORE, THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES that it is agreed between the parties as follows:

2)	The Pledgee shall hold the said shares as collateral security for the repayment of the Indebtedness as herein provided and shall not, at any time, dispose of or encumber the same except as herein provided.

3)	While the Pledgee is the holder of the shares, the Pledgors shall have the right to vote the same at meetings of shareholders of the Debtor so long as the Debtor is not in default in the performance of any of the terms of the Indebtedness to the Pledgee and for that purpose the Pledgee shall execute any and all proxies in favour of the Pledgors that may be required.

4)	Upon the repayment of the entire amount of the Indebtedness the Pledgee shall re-transfer the shares to the Pledgors.

At any bona fide public sale the Pledgee may purchase all or any part of the shares at such price as he deems proper.
