Secured Party so long as the Secured Party owns or has a security interest in the Pledged Shares (a
“Holder”), promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with

on the SEC’s EDGAR system, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company

upon the Transfer Agent’s receipt from such Holder of


(i) a certificate (a “Rule 144 Certificate”) certifying (A) that the Holder’s holding
period (as determined in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144) for the Pledged
Shares which the Holder proposes to sell (the “Securities Being Sold”) is not less
than (1) year and (B) as to such other matters as may be appropriate in accordance
with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and

Registration Statement,

transferee(s) thereof one or more stock certificates representing the transferred Securities Being Sold
without any restrictive legend and without recording any restrictions on the transferability of such
shares on the Transfer Agent’s  books and records (except to the extent any such legend or restriction
results from facts other than the identity of the Holder, as the seller or transferor thereof, or the
status, including any relevant legends or restrictions, of the shares of the Securities Being Sold while
held by the Holder). If the Transfer Agent reasonably requires any additional documentation at the
time of the transfer, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered all such reasonable additional
documentation as may be necessary to effectuate the issuance of an unlegended certificate.


7.

Voting Rights.  During the term of this Pledge Agreement and until such time as this
Pledge Agreement has terminated or Secured Party has exercised its rights under this Pledge
Agreement to foreclose its security interest in the Collateral, Pledgor shall have the right to exercise
any voting rights evidenced by, or relating to, the Collateral.



8.

Warrants and Options.  In the event that, during the term of this Pledge Agreement,
subscription, warrants, dividends, or any other rights or option shall be issued in connection with the
Collateral, such warrants, dividends, rights and options shall be immediately delivered to Secured
Party to be held under the terms hereof in the same manner as the Collateral.


9.

Preservation of the Value of the Collateral and Reimbursement of Secured Party.  
Pledgor shall pay all taxes, charges, and assessments against the Collateral and do all acts necessary
to preserve and maintain the value thereof.  On failure of Pledgor so to do, Secured Party may make
such payments on account thereof as (in Secured Party's discretion) is deemed desirable, and Pledgor
shall reimburse Secured Party immediately on demand for any and all such payments expended by
Secured Party in enforcing, collecting, and exercising its remedies hereunder.


10.

Default and Remedies.  


(a)

For purposes of this Agreement, “Event of Default” shall mean any one or more of
the following events:


(i)

any default in the performance by the Company or the Pledgor of any of the
Note Obligations or the Guarantee, as the case may be, after the expiration, without cure, of the cure
period (but only if any such cure period is specifically provided in the Transaction Agreements and
without any regard to any cure period if no such cure period is provided; it being specifically
acknowledged by the Company and the Pledgor that all payment obligations are time of the essence
obligations, with no cure periods provided), or


(ii)

a breach by a Pledgor of any of such Pledgor’s representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements in this Pledge Agreement.


(b)

During the term of this Pledge Agreement, the Secured Party shall have the following
rights after any Event of Default and for so long as the Obligations are not satisfied in full:


(i)  the rights and remedies provided by the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted
by the State of New York (as said law may at any time be amended), except that the
Secured Party waives any right to a deficiency pursuant to Section 9-608 thereof or
otherwise;


(ii)  the right to receive and retain all dividends, payments and other distributions of
any kind upon any or all of the Pledged Shares as additional Collateral;


(iii)  to the extent of the Lender’s Allocable Share of the Secured Party, the right to
cause any or all of the Pledged Shares and all additional Collateral to be transferred
to its own name and have such transfer recorded in any place or places deemed
appropriate by Secured Party; and



(iv)  the right to sell, at a public or private sale, to the extent of the Lender’s
Allocable Share of the Secured Party, the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices in accordance with the
Uniform Commercial Code (as such law may be amended from time to time); it
being understood that one or more of the Secured Parties may, but shall not be
required to, take such actions jointly.  Upon any such sale, Secured Party shall have
the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold.  
Secured Party shall give the Pledgor not less than ten (10) days written notice of its
intention to make any such sale.  Any such sale shall be held at such time or times
during ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may fix
in the notice of such sale.  Secured Party may adjourn or cancel 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 upon terms
calling for payments in the future, any Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured
Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Secured Party shall
incur no liability in the case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the
Collateral so sold and, in the case of such failure, such Collateral may again be sold
upon like notice.  Secured Party, however, instead of exercising the power of sale
herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to
foreclose the security interest and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a
judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, the Pledgor having
been given due notice of all such action.  Secured Party shall incur no liability as a
result of a sale of the Collateral or any part thereof.

  

  

11.

Waiver.  Each of the Debtor and the Pledgor waives any right that it may have to
require Secured Party to proceed against any other person, or proceed against or exhaust any other
security, or pursue any other remedy Secured Party may have.

  

  

12.

Term of Agreement.  This Pledge Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
until the earlier of the payment in full of the Notes.  If the Notes are paid in full, the security interests
in the relevant Collateral shall be deemed released, and any portion of the Collateral not transferred
to or sold by any one or more Secured Parties shall be returned to the Pledgor (and for such purpose,
delivery to Darrin Ocasio, Esq., of Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP of New York, NY shall
deemed to comply with such return requirement).  Upon termination of this Pledge Agreement, the
relevant Collateral shall be returned within five (5) Trading Days to Debtor or to the Pledgor, as
contemplated above.


13.

(a)

The Agent is acting as agent for the Secured Parties solely for the administrative
convenience of the Debtor, the Pledgor and the Secured Parties.



(b)

The Agent is authorized to execute and file any and all financing statements desired

substitution to execute and file such financing statements naming the Debtor and the Pledgor as
debtors thereon.
