                     EXHIBIT 3 to RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
                     ---------------------------------------

                             STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

     This Stock Pledge Agreement is entered into as of November 6, 2001 (the
"Effective Date"), by and among DAOU Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
 --------------
"Company"), and Daniel J. Malcolm (the "Pledgor"), with reference to the
 -------                                -------
following facts:

                              Background Statement

     The Company has agreed to sell to Pledgor 150,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Shares"), pursuant to that certain
                                              ------
Stock Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and Pledgor, dated November
6, 2001 and effective retroactively to July 24, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement").
                                                           ------------------

     In addition the Company has agreed to loan to Pledgor $78,000 as evidenced
by that certain Secured Promissory Note (the "Note") dated November 6, 2001 and
                                              ----
effectively retroactively to July 24, 2001.

     As a material inducement for the Company to make the loan to Pledgor and to
enter into the Purchase Agreement, Pledgor has agreed to secure his obligations
under the Note by granting the Company a first priority security interest in the
Shares.

                                    Agreement

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms, covenants and
conditions contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.   Security. The term "Pledged Stock" shall mean the 150,000 Shares registered
     --------            -------------
in the name of Pledgor, together with all certificates, options, rights or other
distributions issued as an addition to, in substitution or in exchange for, or
on account of, any such Shares, and all proceeds of the foregoing, as further
described in and subject to the provisions of Section 4 below, now or hereafter
                                              ---------
owned or acquired by Pledgor.

2.   Grant of Security Interest. As security for full and timely payment,

performance and satisfaction of the Obligations (as defined in Section 3),
                                                               ---------
Pledgor hereby grant to the Company a first priority security interest in the
Pledged Stock. Upon the execution hereof, the Pledged Stock and any related
stock powers will be deposited in escrow with the Company pursuant to Section
1.9 of the Purchase Agreement. Upon execution of appropriate documentation, the
Company will accommodate Pledgor by appropriate arrangement with Pledgor's
broker so that Pledgor shall not be required to advance the payment prior to
receiving the proceeds of the sale.

3.   Obligations of Pledgor. As used herein, the term "Obligations" shall mean
     ----------------------                            -----------

4.   Pledged Stock. In the event Pledgor will become entitled to receive or will

or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of
assets, combination of shares, stock split or spin-off, (b) any option, warrant
or right, whether as an addition to or in substitution of any of the Pledged
Stock, or otherwise, (c) any dividend or distribution payable in property,
including securities issued as a dividend on the Pledged Stock, or (d) any other
distributions of any kind whatsoever, Pledgor will accept the same as encumbered
by the security interest created hereby, and will deliver the same forthwith to
the Company as the escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), in the exact form
                                      -----------
received, including as appropriate, Pledgor's endorsement or appropriate stock
power duly executed in blank, as appropriate, to be held by the Escrow Agent, as
a part of the Pledged Stock, subject to the terms hereof; provided, however,
that as long as no Default (as defined in Section 7) is in existence, Pledgor
                                          ---------
will have sole voting rights with respect to the Pledged Stock.

of the Pledged Stock, (c) all of the shares of the Pledged Stock are owned by
Pledgor free of any pledge, mortgage, lien or security interest of any kind,

Agreement, and the performance of its terms, will not result in any violation or
default under the terms of any agreement or instrument, or any law or
governmental rule or regulation applicable to Pledgor or the Pledged Stock, and
(e) upon execution and delivery by Pledgor of this Agreement and upon delivery
of the Pledged Stock to Escrow Agent, this Agreement will create a valid and
perfected first priority security interest in the Pledged Stock, and the
proceeds thereof, subject to no prior security interest.

6. Transfer of Interests. Pledgor hereby covenants that, until such time as the
   ---------------------
Oligations have been fully paid, performed and satisfied, except as set forth
in Section 1.2 of the Purchase Agreement, Pledgor will not sell, convey or
otherwise dispose of any of the Pledged Stock or any interest therein, or
create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, mortgage, lien, charge, encumbrance
or any security interest whatsoever in or with respect to any of the Pledged
Stock, or the proceeds thereof, other than the security interest created hereby.
No transfer shall be valid unless and until the transferee agrees that such
transfer is subject to the preexisting security interest created hereby and such
transferee executes a pledge agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

7. Default. As used herein, the term "Default" will mean the failure of full and
   -------                            -------
timely payment or performance and satisfaction of any of the Obligations.

8. Rights of the Company. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Company may, at
   ---------------------
its option, do any one or more of the following: (a) declare all indebtedness of

<PAGE>

of the Pledged Stock registered in the Company's name or in the name of a
nominee; (e) enforce one or more remedies hereunder, successively or
concurrently; and (f) proceed immediately to dispose of and realize upon the
Pledged Stock, or any part thereof, and in connection therewith, sell or
otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Stock, or any part thereof, in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or at any of the Company's offices or elsewhere, at such prices and on
such terms as the Company may deem best, for cash or on credit, or for future
delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right of the Company or
any purchaser to purchase at any such sale either the whole or any part of the
Pledged Stock (in connection with any such sale or disposition, the Company need
not give more than thirty (30) calendar days notice of the time and place of any
public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place, which
notice to Pledgor hereby acknowledges to be reasonable).

9.  Proceeds. The proceeds of any disposition of all or any part of the Pledged
    --------
Stock, as provided in Section 8, will be applied as follows: (a) first, to the
                      ---------
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith or incidental thereto,
including the Company's attorneys' fees and legal expenses; (b) second, to the
satisfaction of the Obligations; (c) third, to the payment of any other amounts
required by applicable law; and (d) fourth, to Pledgor to the extent of any
surplus remaining. In the event that there is any deficiency due to the fact
that the proceeds from the aforesaid disposition of the Pledged Stock were
inadequate to satisfy the Obligations, Pledgor will not be liable to the Company
for such deficiency.

10. Private Sale. Pledgor recognize and acknowledge that the company may be
    ------------
unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Stock and may
elect to resort to one or more private sales to purchasers who will be obligated
to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Stock for their own
account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and
on terms less favorable than those of public sales, and agrees that such private
sales will be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and
that the Company has no obligation to delay sale of any Pledged Stock to permit
Pledgor to register it for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

11. Release of Pledged Stock. Upon the execution hereof, Pledgor will deliver to
    ------------------------
Escrow Agent the stock certificates representing the Pledged Stock, including
Pledgor's endorsement thereon or appropriate stock powers duly executed in
blank, as appropriate, to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and Section 1.9 of the Purchase Agreement.

12. Performance by Pledgor. Upon full payment and performance of all of the
    ----------------------
Obligations by Pledgor and upon payment of all additional costs and expenses
provided herein, this Agreement will terminate, and the Company will deliver or
caused to be delivered to Pledgor, such of the Pledged Stock that has not been
sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to this Agreement.

13. Remedies. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and are in
    --------
addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided in other
instruments and agreements between the Company and Pledgor, or as provided by
law.
