NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 1. The Borrower delivers to the Corporation certificates for the Stock, together with two Assignments Separate from Certificate (attached as Exhibit B) signed by the Borrower. The Borrower pledges the Stock as security for the payment of the Note. In the event of default in payment of the Note, the Borrower appoints the Corporation as the Borrower's true and lawful attorney to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to cause the Stock to be transferred into the name of the Corporation, or to any Borrower of the Stock. 2. The Corporation agrees to hold the Stock as security for the payment of the Note and interest under the Note, and the Corporation shall not at any time dispose of or encumber the Stock except as otherwise in this Agreement. 3. At all times while the Corporation is holding the Stock as security, the Corporation shall (a) collect all dividends declared on the Stock and shall credit such dividends against principal and interest of the Note, as part payment, and (b) collect and hold any other securities and/or other property distributed on account of the Stock, all of which shall be pledged to the Corporation under this Agreement. 4. While the Corporation holds the Stock as security under this agreement, the Borrower shall have the right to vote the Stock at all meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation, so long as the Borrower is not in default in the performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, or in the payments due under the Note. 5. Upon repayment of the balance of the Note and all interest and other charges due, the Corporation shall deliver to the Borrower the certificates for the Stock, and the Assignment forms, provided that if at such time any of the shares of Stock are subject to a Repurchase Option in favor of the Corporation pursuant to an applicable common stock purchase agreement, then in such event the Corporation shall deliver such certificate to the escrow agent. 6. In the event the Borrower fail to perform any of the terms of this Agreement, or fails to make payments when due under the Note as required, the Corporation shall have all the rights and remedies of a creditor and secured party at law and in equity, including the rights and A-1 remedies provided under the California Uniform Commercial Code, and without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, after ten days' prior written notice to the Borrower by certified mail at the Borrower's residence or business address, sell any or all of the Stock in such manner and for such price as the Corporation may determine. Out of the proceeds of such sale, the Corporation may retain an amount sufficient to pay the principal and interest then due on the Note, together with expenses of the sale and reasonable attorneys' fees, and the Corporation shall pay the balance of the proceeds, if any, to the Borrower. At any bona fide sale, which qualifies as a public sale under the California Uniform Commercial Code, the Corporation may (if the Corporation is the highest bidder) purchase all or any part of the Stock at such price as the Corporation deems proper. Borrower shall be liable for any deficiency remaining following exercise by the Corporation of its rights under this agreement. 7. Provided the Borrower has not failed to perform on a timely basis any of the Borrower's obligations under the Note or this agreement, the Corporation will release the Stock from pledge upon payment in full of the Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest, subject to the terms of any applicable common stock purchase agreement. 8.
