RECITALS


A.            Debtor has executed a Promissory
Note, dated as of the date hereof (the “Note”), in favor of the Secured
Party in the principal amount of $100,000.


B.            In order to induce the Secured Party
to extend the credit evidenced by the Note, Debtor has agreed to enter into
this Agreement and to grant to Secured Party the security interest in the
Collateral described below.


AGREEMENT


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged,
Debtor hereby agrees with Secured Party as follows:


1.             Definitions and Interpretation.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all other
capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Note shall have the respective
meanings given to those terms in the Note, and all terms defined in the
California Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) shall have the respective
meanings given to those terms in the UCC.


2.             The Collateral.  To secure the Obligations as defined in
Section 3 hereof, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party a security
interest in all of Debtor’s right, title and interest, in net after-tax
proceeds of shares of stock of Secured Party whether now existing or hereafter
acquired by Debtor (the “Collateral”).


3.                                   Security for
Obligations.  The
obligations secured by this Agreement (the “Obligations”) shall mean and
include all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations, howsoever
arising, owed by Debtor to the Secured Party of every kind and description
(whether or not evidenced by any note or instrument and whether or not for the
payment of money), now existing or hereafter arising under or pursuant to the
terms of the Note, including, all interest, fees, charges, expenses, attorneys’
fees and costs and accountants’ fees and costs chargeable to and payable by
Debtor hereunder and thereunder, in each case, whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, due or to become due, and whether or not arising after
the commencement of a proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code (11
U.S.C. Section 101 et  seq.), as amended from time to time
(including post-petition interest) and whether or not allowed or allowable as a
claim in any such proceeding.


 

















 


4.             Further
Assurances.


(a)           Debtor agrees that at
any time and from time to time, at Debtor’s expense, Debtor will promptly
execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further
action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted
or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.


(b)           Margin Regulations.  In the event that Secured Party’s Common

meaning of Regulation U, Debtor agrees to cooperate with Secured Party in
making any amendments to the Note or providing any additional collateral as may
be necessary to comply with such regulations.


(c)           Liens on
Collateral.  Debtor agrees not to
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien or security interest of any
kind upon the Collateral.


5.             Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

Party or its nominee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to vote

hand, upon delivery; and (d) when telecopied, upon confirmation of

other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude
any other further exercise thereof or of any other right.


(c)           Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement may not be amended or
modified, nor may any of its terms be waived, except by written instruments
signed by Debtor and Secured Party.

remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

its own costs in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of,
and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement.


(i)            Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without
reference to conflicts of law rules (except to the extent governed by the UCC).
