AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 


 


THIS
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Pledge Agreement”), dated March  , 2013, is by Xzeres Corp., a Nevada
corporation (“Pledgor”), with its chief executive office at 9025 SW Hillman Court, Suite 3126, Wilsonville,
Oregon 97070 in favor of Renewable Power Resources, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with an office at 430 East 56th
Street, 4G, New York, New York 10022 (together with any successors and assigns, “Pledgee”).


 


W
I T N E S S E T H:


 


WHEREAS,
Pledgor is now the direct and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests (collectively, the “Pledged
Interests”) of the corporations listed on Exhibit A annexed hereto (each, an “Issuer”, and collectively,
the “Issuers”);


WHEREAS,
Pledgor and Xzeres Energy Services Corp (collectively, the “Borrowers”) have entered into or are about to enter
into financing arrangements with Pledgee pursuant to which Pledgee may make loans and advances and provide other financial accommodations
to Borrowers as set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, dated of even date herewith, by and among Pledgee and Borrowers
(as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the “Loan
Agreement”) and the other agreements, documents and instruments referred to therein or at any time executed and/or delivered
in connection therewith or related thereto, including, but not limited to, this Pledge Agreement (all of the foregoing, together
with the Loan Agreement, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated
or replaced, being collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”);


WHEREAS,
Pledgor has also agreed to secure all Obligations (as hereinafter defined) of Borrowers to Pledgee and to accomplish the same
by (a) executing and delivering to Pledgee this Pledge Agreement, (b) delivering to Pledgee certificates (if any) representing
the Pledged Interests which are registered in the name of Pledgor, together with appropriate powers duly executed in blank by
Pledgor, and (c) delivering to Pledgee any and all other related documents which Pledgee deems reasonably necessary to protect
Pledgee’s interests hereunder.


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Pledgor hereby agrees as follows:


1.
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST


(a)
To secure the prompt payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations (as hereinafter defined), Pledgor hereby assigns,
pledges, hypothecates, transfers and sets over to Pledgee and grants to Pledgee a security interest in and lien upon the following
(collectively, the “Collateral”): (i) the Pledged Interests, together with all cash dividends, stock dividends,
interests, profits, redemptions, warrants, subscription rights, stock, securities options, substitutions, exchanges and other
distributions now or hereafter distributed by Stock Issuers or which may hereafter be delivered to the possession or Pledgor or
Pledgee with respect thereto, (ii) all proceeds of and to any of the property of Pledgor described above, including, without limitation,
all causes of action, claims and warranties now or hereafter held by Pledgor in respect




    	1



    	 



    

of any
of the items listed above, and (iii) Pledgor’s books and records with respect to any of the foregoing.


(b)
This Pledge Agreement is executed only as security for the Obligations and, therefore, the execution and delivery of this Pledge
Agreement shall not subject Pledgee to, or transfer or pass to Pledgee, or in any way affect or modify, the liability of Pledgor
under the formational or organization documents of any Issuer or any related agreements, documents or instruments or otherwise.
In no event shall the acceptance of this Pledge Agreement by Pledgee or the exercise by Pledgee of any rights hereunder or assigned
hereby, constitute an assumption of any liability or obligation of Pledgor to, under or in connection with the formational or
organization documents of any Issuer or any related agreements, documents or instruments or otherwise.


(c)
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Pledge Agreement to the contrary, the term “Collateral” shall not include:
(i) voting equity interests of any controlled foreign corporation (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as in effect from time to time, a “CFC”), solely to the extent that (y) such equity interests represent more
than 65% of the outstanding voting equity interests of such CFC, and (z) pledging or hypothecating more than 65% of the total
outstanding voting equity interests of such CFC would result in adverse tax consequences or the costs to the Pledgor of providing
such pledge are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Pledgee in consultation with Pledgor) in relation to the benefits to
Pledgee of the security afforded thereby (which pledge, if reasonably requested by Pledgee, shall be governed by the laws of the
jurisdiction of such CFC).


2.
OBLIGATIONS SECURED


The
security interest, lien and other interests granted to Pledgee pursuant to this Pledge Agreement shall secure the prompt performance
and payment in full of any and all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of every kind, nature and description owing by Pledgor
and the other Borrowers to Pledgee, including principal, interest, charges, fees, costs and expenses, however evidenced, whether
as principal, surety, endorser, guarantor or otherwise, arising under this Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether arising before, during or after the initial or any renewal
term of the Loan Agreement, or after the commencement of any case with respect to Pledgor or any other Borrower under the United
States Bankruptcy Code or any similar statute (including, without limitation, the payment of interest and other amounts which
would accrue and become due but for the commencement of such case, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole
or in part in such case), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or not due, primary or secondary,
and liquidated or unliquidated, including, without limitation, all “Obligations” as such term is defined in the Loan
Agreement (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to herein as the “Obligations”).


3.
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS


Pledgor
hereby represents, warrants and covenants with and to Pledgee the following (all of such representations, warranties and covenants
being continuing so long as any of the Obligations are outstanding):




    	2



    	 



    

(a)
The Pledged Interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable capital stock of each Issuer and constitute
one hundred (100%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Issuer. The Pledged Interests are not
registered and Pledgor has not authorized the registration thereof, in the name of any person or entity other than Pledgor of
Pledgee.


(b)
The Collateral is directly, legally and beneficially owned by Pledgor, free and clear of all claims, liens, pledges and encumbrances
of any kind, nature or description, except for the pledge, lien and security interest in favor of Pledgee and the pledges, claims,
liens, encumbrances and security interests permitted under the Loan Agreement.


(c)
The Collateral is not subject to any restrictions relative to the transfer thereof and Pledgor has the right to transfer and hypothecate
the Collateral free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or restrictions.


(d)
The Collateral is duly and validly pledged to Pledgee, no consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory authority or of
any securities exchange or the like, nor any consent or approval of any other third party, was or is necessary to the validity
and enforceability of this Pledge Agreement.


(e)
Pledgor authorize Pledgee to: (i) store, deposit and safeguard the Collateral (as applicable), (ii) perform any and all other
acts which Pledgee deems reasonable and/or necessary for the protection and preservation of the Collateral or its value or Pledgee’s
security interest therein, including, without limitation, transferring, registering or arranging for the transfer or registration
of the Collateral to or in Pledgee’s own name and receiving the income therefrom as additional security for the Obligations
and (iii) pay any charges or expenses which Pledgee deems reasonably necessary for the foregoing purpose, but without any obligation
to do so (and any amounts so paid shall constitute Obligations). Any obligation of Pledgee for
reasonable care for the Collateral in Pledgee’s possession shall be limited to the same degree of care which Pledgee uses
for similar property pledged to Pledgee by other persons.


(f)
If at any time after the date hereof Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or acquire, or shall receive any stock certificate,
option or right with respect thereto of any Issuer (including without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a
distribution or exchange of or in connection with reclassification of the Pledged Interests) whether as an addition to, in substitution
of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral or otherwise, Pledgor agrees to accept same as Pledgee’s agent, to hold same
in trust for Pledgee and to deliver same forthwith to Pledgee or Pledgee’s agent or bailee in the form received, with the
endorsement(s) of Pledgor where necessary and/or appropriate powers and/or assignments duly executed to be held by Pledgee or
Pledgee’s agent or bailee subject to the terms hereof, as further security for the Obligations.


(g)
The Collateral is not and shall not at any time hereafter be investment property or otherwise subject to Article 8 of the Uniform
Commercial Code except as Pledgee may otherwise expressly agree. As of the date hereof, there are no certificates or other written
instruments evidencing or representing the Pledged Interests except as set forth on Exhibits A hereto.




    	3



    	 



    

(h)
Pledgor shall keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral and stamp or otherwise mark such books and records
in such manner as Pledgee may require in order to reflect the security interests granted by this Pledge Agreement.


(i)
Pledgor shall not, without the prior consent of Pledgee, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose
of, or grant any option with respect to the Collateral, nor shall Pledgor create, incur or permit any further pledge, hypothecation,
encumbrance, lien, mortgage or security interest with respect to the Collateral.


(j)
So long as no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall have the right to vote and
exercise (as applicable) all corporate rights with respect to the Collateral, except as expressly prohibited herein or in the
other Loan Documents, and to receive (as applicable) any cash dividends and any distributions payable in respect of the Collateral
(but subject to terms of the Loan Agreement with respect thereto).


(k)
Pledgor shall not permit any Issuer, directly or indirectly, to (i) issue, sell, grant, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose
of, any additional equity interests of such Issuer or any option or warrant with respect to, or other right or security convertible
into, any additional equity interests, now or hereafter authorized, unless all such additional equity interests, options, warrants,
rights or other such securities are made and shall remain part of the Collateral subject to the pledge and security interest granted
herein (other than the capital stock of a CFC in excess of 65% of the voting stock of such CFC), (ii) take any action to withdraw
the authority of or to limit or restrict the authority of such Issuer’s officers to deal and contract with Pledgee and to
bind and obligate such Issuer, or (iii) pay any interim distribution in cash or other assets to Pledgor any other stockholder,
except as permitted in the Loan Agreement. Any distribution by any Issuer other than as permitted in the Loan Agreement shall
constitute a “wrongful distribution” for purposes of applicable law.


(l)
Pledgor shall promptly notify Pledgee in writing of the occurrence of any event that could reasonably be expected to result in
any Issuer’s dissolution or liquidation.


(m)
Pledgor shall not, and shall not permit any Issuer, directly or indirectly, to, amend, modify or supplement any of the provisions
of its organizational or formation documents without the prior written consent of the Pledgee if any such amendment, modification
or supplement would or could affect any rights of Pledgee hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or would limit or
restrict the permissible activities in which such Issuer may engage.


(n)
Pledgor shall pay all charges and assessments of any nature against the Collateral or with respect thereto prior to said charges
and/or assessments being delinquent.


(o)
Pledgor shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Pledgee such information concerning each Issuer and the Collateral as Pledgee
may from time to time reasonably request, including, without limitation, current financial statements to the extent available.


(p)
Pledgee may notify any Issuer or the appropriate transfer agent of the Collateral to register the security interest and pledge
granted herein and honor the rights of Pledgee with respect thereto.




    	4



    	 



    

(q)
Pledgor shall promptly reimburse Pledgee, on demand, together with interest at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations
(as defined in the Loan Agreement) set forth in the Loan Agreement, for any charges, assessments or expenses paid or incurred
by Pledgee for the protection, preservation and maintenance of the Collateral and the enforcement of Pledgee’s rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Pledgee in seeking to protect, collect or
enforce its rights in the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. Any such amounts paid or incurred by Pledgee shall constitute part
of the Obligations secured hereby and may be charged by Pledgee to any loan account of Pledgor maintained by Pledgee, at its option.


(r)
Pledgor authorizes Pledgee to: (i) perform any and all other acts which Pledgee deems reasonable and/or necessary for the protection
and preservation of the Collateral or its value or Pledgee’s security interest therein, and (ii) pay any charges or expenses
which Pledgee deems necessary for the foregoing purpose, but without any obligation to do so (and any amounts so paid shall constitute
Obligations under the Loan Agreement).


(s)
Pledgor waives: (i) all rights to require Pledgee to proceed against any other person, entity or collateral or to exercise any
remedy, (ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action upon any of the Obligations, (iii) any right of subrogation
or interest in the Obligations or Collateral until all Obligations have been paid in full in immediately available funds and the
Loan Agreement has been terminated, (iv) any rights to notice of any kind or nature whatsoever, unless specifically required in
this Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement (to the extent applicable to this Pledge Agreement) or non-waivable under any applicable
law, and (v) to the extent permissible, its rights under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Pledgor agrees that the
Collateral, other collateral, or any other guarantor or endorser may be released, substituted or added with respect to the Obligations,
in whole or in part, without releasing or otherwise affecting the liability of Pledgor, the pledge and security interests granted
hereunder, or this Pledge Agreement. Pledgee is entitled to all of the benefits of a secured party set forth in Section 9-207
of the Uniform Commercial Code.


4.
NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES.


(a)
Nothing herein shall be construed to make Pledgee liable as a shareholder or member of any Issuer and Pledgee by virtue of this
Pledge Agreement or otherwise shall not have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a shareholder or member of any Issuer.
The parties hereto expressly agree that this Pledge Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture
among the Pledgee and Pledgor and/or any Issuer.


(b)
By accepting this Pledge Agreement, Pledgee does not intend to become a shareholder or member of any Issuer or otherwise be deemed
to be a co-venturer with respect to Pledgor or any Issuer either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred. Pledgee
shall have only those powers set forth herein and shall assume none of the duties, obligations or liabilities of Pledgor or of
a shareholder or member of any Issuer. Pledgee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of Pledgor as a result
of the pledge hereby effected.


(c)
The acceptance by Pledgee of this Pledge Agreement, with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall
not at any time or in any event obligate Pledgee to




    	5



    	 



    

appear
in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or
thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expense or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability hereunder or
otherwise with respect to the Collateral.


5.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT


The
occurrence or existence of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement is referred to herein individually as an “Event
of Default” and collectively as “Events of Default”.


6.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES


At
any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Pledgee,
whether provided under this Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, Pledgee
shall have the following rights and remedies which may be exercised without notice to, or consent by, Pledgor except as such notice
or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or under the Loan Agreement (to the extent applicable to this Pledge Agreement);


(a)
Pledgee, at its option, shall be empowered to exercise its continuing right to instruct any Issuer (or the appropriate transfer
agent of the Collateral) to register any or all of the Collateral in the name of Pledgee or in the name of Pledgee’s nominee
and Pledgee may complete, in any manner Pledgee may deem expedient, any and all stock powers (as applicable), any assignments
or other documents heretofore or hereafter executed in blank by Pledgor and delivered to Pledgee and, in furtherance of the foregoing,
Pledgor shall execute and deliver to Pledgee together herewith a Special Power of Attorney in the form of Exhibit B hereto
in connection with the execution of this Pledge Agreement. After said instruction, and without further notice, Pledgee shall have
the exclusive right to exercise all rights with respect to the Collateral (including all voting and corporate rights), and exercise
any and all rights of conversion, redemption, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to
the Collateral as if Pledgee were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion,
any and all of the Collateral upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment with respect
thereto. Upon the exercise of any such rights, privileges or options by Pledgee, Pledgee shall have the right to deposit and deliver
any and all of the Collateral to any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms
and conditions as Pledgee may determine, all without liability, except to account for property actually received by Pledgee. However,
Pledgee shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options (all of which are exercisable in the
sole discretion of Pledgee) and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in doing so.


(b)
In addition to all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, Pledgee
shall have the right, at any time and without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except
the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Pledgor or any other person (all and each of
which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law), to proceed
forthwith to collect, redeem,




    	6



    	 



    

recover,
receive, appropriate, realize, sell, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more lots
at public or private sale or sales at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Pledgee’s offices or elsewhere at
such prices and on such terms as Pledgee may deem best. The foregoing disposition(s) may be for cash or on credit or for future
delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with Pledgee having the right to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so
sold at any such sale or sales, public or private, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity
is hereby expressly waived or released by Pledgor. The proceeds of any such collection, redemption, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization, sale or other disposition, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred relative thereto or incidental
to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any and all Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Pledgee hereunder, including
attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, shall be applied first to the satisfaction of the Obligations (in such order as Pledgee
may elect and whether or not due) and then to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, including Section 9-615(a)(3)
of the Uniform Commercial Code, with Pledgor to be and remain liable for any deficiency. Pledgor shall be liable to Pledgee for
the payment on demand of all such costs and expenses, together with interest at the highest rate then applicable to Obligations
(as defined in the Loan Agreement) set forth in the Loan Agreement and any attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by
Pledgee. Any such amounts shall constitute Obligations under the Loan Agreement and may be charged by Pledgee to the loan account
of Pledgor maintained by Pledgee at its option. Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days prior written notice by Pledgee designating
the place and time of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of any or all
of the Collateral is to be made, is reasonable notification of such matters.


(c)
Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as now or hereafter in effect or in applicable Blue Sky or other state securities
law, as now or hereafter in effect, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers
who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with
a view to the distribution or resale thereof. If at the time of any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, the same shall
not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered (if required) under the Securities Act of 1933 (or other applicable
state securities law), as then in effect, Pledgee in its sole and absolute discretion is authorized to sell such Collateral or
such part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Pledgee or its counsel may deem necessary or
advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without registration. Pledgor agrees that private sales so made may
be at prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such Collateral were sold at public sale, and that Pledgee has
no obligation to delay the sale of any such Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Issuer, even if such Issuer
would agree, to register such Collateral for public sale under such applicable securities laws. Pledgor agrees that any private
sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been in a commercially reasonable manner.


(d)
All of the rights and remedies of Pledgee, including, but not limited to, the foregoing and those otherwise arising under this
Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the instruments comprising the Collateral, applicable law or
otherwise, shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be enforceable alternatively, successively or




    	7



    	 



    

concurrently
as Pledgee may deem expedient. No failure or delay on the part of Pledgee in exercising any of its options, powers or rights or
partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver of such option, power or right.


7.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER; OTHER WAIVERS

AND CONSENTS; GOVERNING LAW


(a)
The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Pledge Agreement and any dispute arising out of the relationship between
the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New
York but excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the application of the law of any
jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York.


(b)
Each of Pledgor and Pledgee irrevocably consents and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New
York in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, whichever Pledgee may elect,
and waives any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising under
this Pledge Agreement or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of
this Pledge Agreement or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and
whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agrees that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only
in the courts described above (except that Pledgee shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against Pledgor or its
property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Pledgee deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral
or to otherwise enforce its rights against Pledgor or its property).


(c)
Pledgor hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made
by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address and to the attention of the person set forth herein and service
so made shall be deemed to be completed ten (10) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at Pledgee’s
option, by service upon Pledgor in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after
such service, Pledgor shall appear in answer to such process, failing which Pledgor shall be deemed in default and judgment may
be entered by Pledgee against Pledgor for the amount of the claim and other relief requested.


(d)
PLEDGOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS PLEDGE
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF PLEDGOR
AND PLEDGEE IN RESPECT OF THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO
IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. PLEDGOR HEREBY AGREES
AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT PLEDGEE
MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT




    	8



    	 



    

WITH
ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.


(e)
Pledgee shall not have any liability to Pledgor (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Pledgor
in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Pledge Agreement,
or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment
or court order binding on Pledgee, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful
misconduct. In any such litigation, Pledgee shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good
faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this Pledge Agreement.


8.
MISCELLANEOUS


(a)
Pledgor agrees that at any time, and from time to time, upon the request of Pledgee, Pledgor will execute and deliver such further
documents, including but not limited to stock powers, or other appropriate instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory
to counsel for Pledgee, and will take or cause to be taken such further acts as Pledgee may reasonably request in order to effect
the purposes of this Pledge Agreement and perfect or continue the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted
to Pledgee hereunder, in conformity with applicable law.


(b)
Beyond the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral (whether such custody is exercised by Pledgee,
or Pledgee’s nominee, agent or bailee) Pledgee or Pledgee’s nominee agent or bailee shall have no duty or liability
to protect or preserve any rights pertaining thereto and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering
it to Pledgor or foreclosure with respect thereto.


(c)
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given or made: if delivered in person, immediately upon delivery; if by telex, telegram or facsimile transmission, immediately

shall include their respective successors and assigns. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder,”

Agreement as a whole and not any particular provision of this Pledge Agreement and as this Pledge Agreement now exists or may
hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced. An Event of Default shall exist or continue

provision held to be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced only
to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law.


(g)
Neither this Pledge Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of
conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of Pledgee. Pledgee shall not, by any act, delay, omission
or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of their rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall
be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Pledgee. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically
set forth therein. A waiver by Pledgee of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Pledgee would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in
kind or otherwise.
