Lender's Duties. Lender shall have no duty with respect to the --------------- Collateral other than the duty to use reasonable care if it is in its possession. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall be under no obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral against any other parties, to sell same if it threatens to decline in value, or to exercise any rights represented thereby; provided, however, that Lender may, at its option, do so, and any and all expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be for the sole account of Pledgor. 6. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. During the term of this Agreement ------------------------------ and as long as no breach of agreement, representation, warranty or obligation of Pledgor or other event of default, under this Loan Agreement or the Note (an "Event of Default"), shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period: (a) Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Shares or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. (b) Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Shares provided, however, that any and all (i) dividends and distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Shares, (ii) dividends and distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Shares in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and (iii) cash paid with respect to, payable or otherwise distributed on redemption of, or in exchange for, any Shares, shall be forthwith delivered to Lender to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Lender, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Lender as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

Share Adjustment. In the event that during the term of this ---------------- Agreement, any reclassification, readjustment or other change is declared or made in the capital structure of Borrower, or any Option is exercised, all new substituted and additional shares, options, or other securities, issued, or issuable, to Pledgor by reason of any such change or exercise shall be delivered to and held by Lender under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Collateral originally pledged hereunder. 9. Warrants. In the event that during the term of this Agreement, -------- subscription warrants or any other rights or options shall be issued or exercised in connection with the Collateral, such warrants, rights and options acquired by Pledgor shall be immediately assigned by Pledgor to Lender and all new stock or other securities so acquired by Pledgor shall also be immediately assigned to Lender to be held under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Collateral originally pledged hereunder. 10. Consent. Pledgor hereby consents that, from time-to-time, before ------- or after the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, with or without notice to or assent from Pledgor, any other security at any time held by or available to Lender for any of the Obligations or any other security at any time held by or available to Lender of any other person, firm or corporation secondarily or otherwise liable for any of the Obligations, may be exchanged, surrendered, or released and any of the Obligations may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered, compromised, waived or released, in whole or in part, as Lender may see fit, and Pledgor shall remain bound under this Agreement notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver or inaction, or extension of further credit. 11. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of --------------------- Default, Lender shall have, in addition to any other rights given by law or the rights hereunder, all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code ("Code"). In addition, with respect to the Collateral, or any part thereof, upon thirty (30) business days' notice to Pledgor following the occurrence of an Event of Default and Pledgor's failure to cause such Event of Default to be cured within such period, Lender may sell or cause the same to 4 be sold at any public or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at such price as Lender may deem best, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, and the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim, encumbrance or right of any kind whatsoever. Any sale of the Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions disposing of property similar to the Collateral and any sale made through NASDAQ, any securities exchange or any NASD member shall be conclusively deemed to be commercially reasonable. Any requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed to Pledgor, at the address set forth in the Loan Agreement, at least twenty (20) calendar days before the time of the sale or disposition. Any other retirement of notice, demand or advertisement for sale, is, to the extent permitted by law, waived. Lender may, in its own name, or in the name of a designee or nominee, buy at any public sale of the Collateral, or to the extent permitted by the Code, at any private sale. Lender shall have the right to execute any document or form, in its name or in the name of the Pledgor, which may be necessary or desirable in connection with such sale of Collateral. In addition to specific rights provided herein with respect to sales of the Shares, and subject to applicable law, sales of the Collateral may be conducted with or without demand and with or without notice or advertisement, for cash, credit or for future delivery, all as the Lender shall deem appropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender may (i) approach and negotiate with potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof in the event the securities to be sold constitute restricted securities under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. In the event any such Collateral is sold at private sale, Pledgor agrees that such sale shall not, by reason merely that it is a private sale subject to the potential restrictions described herein, or that there is a possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale, be deemed to have not been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Pledgor recognizes that no ready market may exist for such Collateral and that a sale by Lender of any such Collateral for an amount substantially less than the value of the Shares may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large block of the securities of Lender. Upon consummation of any such sale, Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof, the Collateral so sold. Each such Purchaser of any such sale shall hold the Property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. If any consent, approval or authorization of any state, municipal or other governmental agency or authority shall be necessary to effectuate any sale or disposition of the Collateral, Pledgor shall execute all such applications and other instruments as may be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization and, will otherwise use its best efforts to secure the same. Under no circumstances will Lender be obligated 5 to register any securities under the Securities Act of 1933 or any similar qualification or registration law of any state, unless, in its sole discretion, it shall elect to do so, in which case the cost of such registration and qualification shall become part of the Obligations secured hereby. 12. Lender as Pledgor's Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby irrevocably ------------------------------------ appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to arrange for the transfer at any time of the Collateral on the books of Pledgor to the name of Lender or to the name of Lender's nominee. 13. Further Assurances. Pledgor agrees that it will cooperate with ------------------ Lender and will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such other stock powers, proxies, instruments, and documents and will take all such other action, as Lender may reasonably request from time to time in order to carry out the provisions and purposes hereof. 14. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. Pledgor hereby agrees to pay all ------------------------- reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses which may be incurred by Lender in the enforcement of this Agreement, whether or not suit is brought. 15. Notices. All notices or demands by any party hereto to the other ------- party and relating to this Agreement shall be made in the manner and to the addresses set forth in the Loan Modification Agreement. 16. California Law Applicable. This Agreement shall be governed by, ------------------------- and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. 17. General Provisions. ------------------ (a) This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Pledgor and accepted and executed by Lender.

Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in rights and benefits hereunder. In connection therewith, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now or hereafter may have relating to Pledgor or Pledgor's business. (c) Section headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section hereof applies equally to this entire Agreement.
