Shares as security for Pledgor’s obligations to the Pledgee under the
Transaction Documents (the “Obligations”). The Pledgor shall deliver to the
Escrow Agent a stock certificate representing 502,500,000 Pledged Shares upon

all amounts due to the Pledgee under the Notes and through repayment in

Agreement.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
2.  Rights Relating to the Pledged Shares. Prior to the occurrence of an Event
of Default (as defined herein) and the issuance of the Pledged Shares to the
Pledgee (in accordance with Section 5.1), the Pledged Shares shall not be, or be
deemed to be, issued or outstanding shares of the Pledgor and neither the
Pledgee nor any other person shall be entitled to vote the Pledged Shares, to
receive dividends and other distributions thereon, or to enjoy any other rights
and privileges incident to the ownership of the Pledged Shares.
 
3.  Release of the Pledged Shares from Pledge. Upon the payment of all amounts
due to the Pledgee under the Notes by repayment in accordance with the terms of
the Notes, the parties hereto shall notify the Escrow Agent to such effect in
writing. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Escrow Agent shall return to
the Pledgor the Transfer Documents and the certificates representing the Pledged
Shares (collectively the “Pledged Materials”), whereupon any and all rights of
Pledgee in the Pledged Materials shall be terminated. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, upon full payment of all amounts due to the
Pledgee under the Notes, by repayment in accordance with the terms of the Notes,
this Agreement and Pledgee’s security interest and rights in and to the Pledged
Shares shall terminate.
 
4.  Event of Default. An “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred
under this Agreement upon an Event of Default under the Notes or the Loan
Agreeement.
 
5.  Remedies.
 
5.1.  Upon and anytime after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Pledgee
shall have the right acquire the Pledged Shares in accordance with the following
procedure: (a) the Pledgee shall provide written notice of such Event of Default
(the “Default Notice”) to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to the Pledgor; (b) in a
Default Notice the Pledgee shall specify the number of Pledged Shares to be
issued to the Plegdee, provided however, that the Pledgee shall not have the
right to acquire such number of Pledged Shares which would cause the Pledgee,
together with its affiliates, to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the
outstanding capital of the Pledgor (unless the Pledgee waives such limitation by
providing sixty-five (65) days’ advance written notice); and (c) as soon as
practicable after receipt of a Default Notice, the Escrow Agent shall deliver
the specified number of Pledged Shares along with the applicable Transfer
Documents to the Pledgor’s Transfer Agent with instructions to issue such
Pledged Shares to the Pledgee.
 
5.2.  Upon receipt of the Pledged Shares issued to the Pledgee, the Pledgee
shall have the right to (i) sell the Pledged Shares and to apply the proceeds of
such sales, net of any selling commissions, to the Obligations owed to the
Pledgee by the Pledgor under the Transaction Documents, including, without
limitation, outstanding principal, interest, legal fees, and any other amounts
owed to the Pledgee, and exercise all other rights and (ii) any and all remedies
of a secured party with respect to such property as may be available under the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware. To the extent
that the net proceeds received by the Pledgee are insufficient to satisfy the
Obligations in full, the Pledgee shall be entitled to a deficiency judgment
against the Pledgor for such amount. The Pledgee shall have the absolute right
to sell or dispose of the Pledged Shares in any manner it sees fit and shall
have no liability to the Pledgor or any other party for selling or disposing of
such Pledged Shares even if other methods of sales or dispositions would or
allegedly would result in greater proceeds than the method actually used. The
Pledgor shall remain liable for shortfalls, if any, that may exist after the
Pledgee has exhausted all remedies hereunder. The Pledgee shall return any
Pledged Shares issued to it and instruct the Escrow Agent to return any Pledged
Shares it is holding in escrow after the all amounts owed to the Pledgee under
the Notes have been satisfied.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
5.3.  Each right, power and remedy of the Pledgee provided for in this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall
be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or
beginning of the exercise by the Pledgee of any one or more of the rights,
powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee
of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the
part of the Pledgee to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as
a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on the Pledgor in any case shall
entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Pledgee to any
other further action in any circumstances without demand or notice. The Pledgee
shall have the full power to enforce or to assign or contract is rights under
this Agreement to a third party.
 
5.4.  In addition to all other remedies available to the Pledgee, upon the
issuance of Pledged Shares to the Pledgee, the Pledgor shall promptly, but in no
event more than sixty (60) days after the date of the Default Notice, file a
registration statement to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission the Pledged Shares for the resale by the Pledgee. The Pledgor shall
cause the registration statement to remain in effect until all of the Pledged
Shares have been sold by the Pledgee.

6.1.  The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly
set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Escrow Agent.
 
6.2.  The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or
signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine, may assume the

notice, advice or instructions in connection with the provisions hereof has been
duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for
the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner, and execution, or validity of
any instrument deposited in this escrow, nor as to the identity, authority, or
right of any person executing the same; and its duties hereunder shall be
limited to the safekeeping of such certificates, monies, instruments, or other
document received by it as such escrow holder, and for the disposition of the
same in accordance with the written instruments accepted by it in the escrow.
