WHEREAS, the Purchaser is the beneficial and record owner of 2,000,000 of the shares of the Company's common stock (the "Collateral Shares") to be held as security under this Security and Collateral Agent Agreement in order for the Collateral Shares to be made available for conversion by Purchaser under the Company's 6% Convertible Redeemable Promissory Note due April 29, 2012 (the "Debenture") as well as to secure payment obligations under the Debenture;







WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to execute this Security Agreement and to deliver the Collateral Shares as security for its performance under the Debenture; and







WHEREAS,  the Company is willing to deposit the Collateral Shares with the Collateral Agent, and the parties have agreed to enter into this Security Agreement whereby the Collateral Agent shall take custody of the Collateral Shares on behalf of the Purchaser; and







WHEREAS,  in the event that Purchaser exercises its rights of conversion under the Debenture, the Collateral Shares shall be made available for such purpose under this Security Agreement.







NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective premises, mutual covenants and agreements of the parties hereto, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:








	
1.  

	
Company  hereby  creates  and  grants  to  Purchaser  a  security  interest  in  the Collateral Shares.   The Collateral Shares shall be delivered to Collateral  Agent on behalf of Purchaser    and  the  proceeds of  any sale  or  license  thereof (the  "Collateral")  to secure  the payment and performance of the obligations of Debtor to Purchaser.













	
2.  

	
Appointment of Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent is hereby appointed as Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with the instructions set forth in this Security Agreement and any further instructions given to it by written instrument signed by Company and Purchaser.













	
3.  

	
Collateral Shares Delivery and Application












(a)       On the date hereof the Company shall deposit the Collateral Shares issued in the name of the Purchaser with the Collateral Agent, which shall not contain any restrictive legend of any nature (provided an opinion has been delivered by the Purchaser's counsel sufficient to cause the removal of any legend attached to the Collateral Shares).







(b)       The Collateral Agent shall act solely as a stakeholder with respect to the Collateral Shares.  Accordingly, the Collateral Agent shall not have the power to vote the Collateral Shares, nor shall the Collateral Agent have any beneficial interest in the Collateral Shares.







(c)       The Collateral Shares shall be deposited by the Collateral Agent in an account which the Collateral Agent maintains at a registered brokerage firm ("Brokerage Firm") that is separate from any other accounts that Collateral Agent may have at that firm.


 




  





  











  






 


(d)       Each notice of conversion of the Debenture (a "Notice of Conversion") shall be simultaneously sent by facsimile or other electronic communication to the Company, as required by the terms of such debenture and to the Collateral Agent.  In the event there are any errors or discrepancies in the Notice of Conversion, the Company and the Purchaser will cooperate fully in resolving such errors.   Upon Collateral Agent's  receipt of a copy of a Notice of Conversion and, provided that Collateral Agent has not received a notice from the Company indicating any errors or discrepancies in the Notice of Conversion, and, provided that Collateral Agent has not received a notice from the Company indicating any errors or discrepancies in the Notice of Conversion (in which event  the  Collateral Agent will  promptly  notify Purchaser of  such  notice and will  use reasonable efforts assist the Company and  Purchaser in resolving the issue), (i)  the number of Collateral Shares set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall become the property of the Purchaser and may be sold by the Purchaser. Until such Notice of Conversion is received, Purchaser shall have absolutely no right, title or interest in any of the Collateral Shares which are the subject of the Notice of Conversion unless there is a Default or Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may provide the Company's transfer agent as well as its own Brokerage Firm an initial conversion notice necessary to allow it to deposit the shares.   Such notice shall have no effect on the number of shares converted by the Purchaser or otherwise have any effect on the parties.


 


(e)       Purchaser shall have the right under this Security Agreement to send Notices of Conversion for the Debenture, and in any order selected by the Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to the tenns of the Debentures.







(f)       In the event there are Collateral Shares remaining in the account of the Collateral Agent following the final conversion of the Debenture, they shall be returned to the Company.








	
4.  

	
Default












(a)        If Purchaser sends the Collateral Agent a Notice of Default under the Debenture, or if, for any reason, the Company is unable, fails or refuses to deliver common stock to Purchaser as required under the Debenture, the Collateral Agent shall then release all the Collateral Shares to the Purchaser.







(b)       Collateral Agent is specifically authorized to rely upon the validity and effectiveness of any Notice of Default, received by the Collateral Agent.







(c)        Upon payment in full by the Company of the Debenture, or upon conversion of all such debentures into Conversion Shares (as such term is defined in the Debenture), any remaining Collateral Shares shall be delivered by the Collateral Agent to the Company, and upon such delivery, none of the parties to this Security Agreement shall have any further obligations to the others.   In the event that the Collateral Shares are delivered to the Purchaser upon an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have no further obligations under this Security Agreement.

e)  

	
In case of any Sale Event in connection  with which this Note is not re- deemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable  upon such reclassification,  capital reorganization  or other change, consolidation  or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior  to such  Sale  Event.  The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.













	
4.  

	
No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.







 




  





  











  






 



	
5.  

	
The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.
