          Laurus has agreed to make such advances on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

AGREEMENT

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

          1. General Definitions and Terms; Rules of Construction.

          (a) General Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the
meanings assigned to them in Annex A.

          (b) Accounting Terms. Any accounting terms used in this Agreement that are not

          (c) Other Terms. All other terms used in this Agreement and defined in the UCC, shall
have the meaning given therein unless otherwise defined herein.

          (d) Rules of Construction. All Schedules, Addenda, Annexes and Exhibits hereto or
expressly identified to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and taken together with
this Agreement constitute but a single agreement. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” or

supplemented, and not to any particular section, subsection or clause contained in this Agreement.

pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, the

          2. Loan Facility.

          (a) Revolving Loans, etc.

               (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ancillary Agreements,
Laurus may make revolving loans (each a “Revolving Loan,” collectively, the “Revolving
Loans”) to the Companies from time to time during the Term which, in the aggregate at any time
outstanding, will not exceed the lesser of (x) (I) the Capital Availability Amount minus (II) such
reserves as Laurus may reasonably in its good faith judgment deem proper and necessary from time to
time (the “Reserves”) and (y) an amount equal to (I) the Accounts Availability plus (II)
the Inventory Availability, minus (III) the Reserves. The amount derived at any time from Section
2(a)(i)(y)(I) plus Section 2(a)(i)(y)(II) minus 2(a)(i)(y)(III) shall be referred to as the
“Formula Amount.” The Companies shall, jointly and severally, execute and deliver to
Laurus on the Closing Date the Secured Revolving Note, the Secured Non-Convertible Term Note and
the Secured Convertible Term Note. The Companies hereby each acknowledge and agree that Laurus’
obligation to purchase the Secured Revolving Note, Secured Non-Convertible Term Note and the
Secured Convertible Term Note from the Companies on the Closing Date shall be contingent upon (x)
the satisfaction (or waiver by Laurus in its sole discretion) of the items and matters set forth in
the closing checklist provided by Laurus to the Companies and (y) the consummation of the
Acquisition. The Companies hereby each further acknowledge and agree that, immediately prior to
each borrowing hereunder and immediately after giving effect thereto, the Companies shall be deemed
to have certified to Laurus that at the time of each such proposed borrowing and also after giving
effect thereto (i) there shall exist no Event of Default, (ii) all representations, warranties and
covenants made by the Companies in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are
true, correct and complete and (iii) all of each Company’s and its respective Subsidiaries’
covenant requirements under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have been met. The
Companies hereby agree to provide a certificate confirming the foregoing concurrently with each
request for a borrowing hereunder.

               (ii) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth above, if requested by any Company, Laurus
retains the right to lend to such Company from time to time such amounts in excess of such
limitations as Laurus may determine in its sole discretion. In connection with each such request
by one or more Companies, the Companies shall be deemed to have certified, as of the time of such
proposed borrowing and immediately after giving effect thereto, to the satisfaction of all
Overadvance Conditions. For purposes hereof, “Overadvance Conditions” means (i) no Event
of Default shall exist and be continuing as of such date; (ii) all representations, warranties and
covenants made by the Companies in connection with the

Security and Purchase Agreement

2

 

Security Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements shall be true, correct and complete as of such date in all material respects; and (iii)
the Companies and their respective Subsidiaries shall have taken all action necessary to grant
Laurus “control” over all of the Companies’ and their respective Subsidiaries’ Deposit Accounts
(the “Control Accounts”), with any agreements establishing “control” to be in form and
substance satisfactory to Laurus. “Control” over such Control Accounts shall be released
upon the indefeasible repayment in full and termination of the Overadvance (together with all
accrued interest and fees which remain unpaid in respect thereof). The Companies hereby agree to
provide a certificate confirming the satisfaction of the Overadvance Conditions concurrently with
the request for same.

               (iii) The Companies acknowledge that the exercise of Laurus’ discretionary rights hereunder
may result during the Term in one or more increases or decreases in the advance percentages used in
determining Accounts Availability and/or Inventory Availability and each of the Companies hereby
consent to any such increases or decreases which may limit or restrict advances requested by the
Companies.

               (iv) If any interest, fees, costs or charges payable to Laurus hereunder are not paid when
due, each of the Companies shall thereby be deemed to have requested, and Laurus is hereby
authorized at its discretion to make and charge to the Companies’ account, a Loan as of such date
in an amount equal to such unpaid interest, fees, costs or charges.

               (v) If any Company at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants contained in
this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and such failure results in the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Laurus may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name,
place and stead of such Company (or, at Laurus’ option, in Laurus’ name) and may, but need not,
take any and all other actions which Laurus may deem necessary to cure or correct such failure
(including the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens, the performance of obligations owed to
Account Debtors, lessors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the
execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of
instruments). The amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’
fees and legal expenses) incurred by Laurus in connection with or as a result of the performance or
observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Laurus shall be charged to the
Companies’ account as a Revolving Loan and added to the Obligations. To facilitate Laurus’
performance or observance of such covenants by each Company, following the occurrence of and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, each Company shall hereby irrevocably appoint Laurus, or
Laurus’ delegate, acting alone, as such Company’s attorney in fact (which appointment is coupled with an
interest) with the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete,
execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of such Company any and all
instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, applications for
insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or
endorsed by such Company.

               (vi) Laurus will account to Company Agent monthly with a statement of all Loans and other
advances, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and such account rendered by Laurus
shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Laurus is

Security and Purchase Agreement

3

 

notified by Company Agent in writing
to the contrary within thirty (30) days of the date each account was rendered specifying the item
or items to which objection is made.

               (vii) During the Term, the Companies may borrow and prepay Loans in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof.

          (b) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
Ancillary Agreements, Laurus shall purchase from the Companies (x) the Secured Convertible Term
Note in the aggregate principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000)
and (y) the Secured Non-Convertible Term Note in the aggregate principal amount of Two Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (each a “Term Loan,” collectively, the “Term Loans”).
The Term Loans shall be advanced on the Closing Date and shall be payable in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The Term Loans shall be
evidenced by the Secured Convertible Term Note and the Secured Non-Convertible Term Note.

          3. Repayment of the Loans. The Companies (a) may prepay the Loans from time to time
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Notes (and Section 17 hereof if such prepayment
is due to a termination of this Agreement); (b) shall repay on the respective Maturity Date (as
defined in each of the Secured Convertible Term Note and the Secured Non-Convertible Term Note) (i)
the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan together with accrued and unpaid
interest, fees and charges and (ii) all other amounts owed Laurus under the Secured Convertible
Term Note and the Secured Non-Convertible Term Note; (c) shall repay on the expiration of the Term
(i) the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans together with accrued
and unpaid interest, fees and charges and; (ii) all other amounts owed Laurus under this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements; and (iii) subject to Section 2(a)(ii), shall repay on any day on
which the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans are in excess of the
Formula Amount at such time, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. Any payments of
principal, interest, fees or any other amounts payable hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement
shall be made prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the due date thereof in immediately available
funds. Upon repayment or prepayment to Laurus of the Obligations in full, the Liens and rights granted to Laurus hereunder in the Collateral shall be terminated
pursuant to Section 18.

          4. Procedure for Revolving Loans. Company Agent may by written notice request a
borrowing of Revolving Loans prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day of its request
to incur, on the next Business Day, a Revolving Loan. Together with each request for a Revolving
Loan (or at such other intervals as Laurus may request), Company Agent shall deliver to Laurus a
Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, which shall be
certified as true and correct by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Company
Agent together with all supporting documentation relating thereto. All Revolving Loans shall be
disbursed from whichever office or other place Laurus may designate from time to time and shall be
charged to the Companies’ account on Laurus’ books. The proceeds of each Revolving Loan made by
Laurus shall be made available to Company Agent on the Business Day following the Business Day so
requested in accordance with the terms of this Section 4 by way of credit to the applicable
Company’s operating account maintained with such

Security and Purchase Agreement

4

 

bank as Company Agent designated to Laurus. Any
and all Loans due and owing hereunder may be charged to the Companies’ account and shall constitute
Revolving Loans.

          5. Interest and Payments.

          (a) Interest.

               (i) Except as modified by Section 5(a)(iii) below, the Companies shall jointly and severally
pay interest at the Contract Rate on the unpaid principal balance of each Loan until such time as
such Loan is collected in full in good funds in dollars of the United States of America.

               (ii) Interest and payments shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of
360 days. Laurus’ option, Laurus may charge the Companies’ account for said interest.

               (iii) Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of
Default shall be continuing, the Contract Rate shall, following the provision by Laurus of written
notice to the Companies, automatically be increased as set forth in the Notes (such increased rate,
the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest, shall
continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable
to the Term Loans until the Event of Default is cured.

               (iv) In no event shall the aggregate interest payable hereunder or under any Note exceed the
maximum rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, as in effect from time to time (the
“Maximum Legal Rate”), and if any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, interest payable under
this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal
Rate (so that such interest will not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate).

               (v) The Companies shall jointly and severally pay principal, interest and all other amounts
payable hereunder, or under any Ancillary Agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including
any deduction for any set-off or counterclaim.

          (b) Payment; Certain Closing Conditions.

               (i) Payment. Upon execution of this Agreement by each Company and Laurus, the
Companies shall jointly and severally pay to Laurus Capital Management, LLC, the investment advisor
of Laurus (“LCM”), a non-refundable payment in an amount equal to three and one-half
percent (3.50%) of the Total Investment Amount. The foregoing payment is referred to herein as the
“LCM Payment.” Such payment shall be deemed fully earned on the Closing Date and shall not
be subject to rebate or proration for any reason.

               (ii) Overadvance Payment. Without affecting Laurus’ rights hereunder in the event the
Revolving Loans exceed the Formula Amount (each such event, an “Overadvance”), all such
Overadvances shall bear additional interest at a rate equal to two percent (2%) per month of the
amount of such Overadvances for all times such amounts shall be

Security and Purchase Agreement

5

 

in excess of the Formula Amount.
All amounts that are incurred pursuant to this Section 5(b)(ii) shall be due and payable by the
Companies monthly, in arrears, on the first business day of each calendar month and upon expiration
of the Term.

               (iii) Expenses. The Companies shall jointly and severally reimburse Laurus for its
expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the entering
into of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and expenses incurred in connection with
Laurus’ due diligence review of each Company and its Subsidiaries and all related matters. Amounts
required to be paid under this Section 5(b)(iii) will be paid on the Closing Date and shall be
$55,000 for such expenses referred to in this Section 5(b)(iii).

          6. Security Interest.

          (a) To secure the prompt payment to Laurus of the Obligations, each Company hereby assigns,
pledges and grants to Laurus a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of the Collateral.
All of each Company’s Books and Records relating to the Collateral shall, until delivered to or
removed by Laurus, be kept by such Company in trust for Laurus until all Obligations have been paid
in full. Each confirmatory assignment schedule or other form of assignment hereafter executed by
each Company shall be deemed to include the foregoing grant, whether or not the same appears
therein.

          (b) Each Company hereby (i) authorizes Laurus to file any financing statements, continuation
statements or amendments thereto that (x) indicate the Collateral (1) as all assets and personal
property of such Company or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset
comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdiction, or
(2) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (y) contain any other
information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office
acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment and (ii) ratifies its
authorization for Laurus to have filed any initial financial statements, or amendments thereto if
filed prior to the date hereof. Each Company acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any
financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement
without the prior written consent of Laurus, except following the termination of the Liens pursuant
to Section 18, and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of Laurus,
except following the termination of the Liens pursuant to Section 18, subject to such Company’s
rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

          (c) Each Company hereby grants to Laurus an irrevocable, non-exclusive license, which is
exercisable only upon the termination of this Agreement due to an occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, without payment of royalty or other compensation to such
Company to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to,
or hereafter acquired by such Company, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such
license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all
computer and automatic machinery software and programs used for the compilation or printout
thereof, and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will
not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that
such license will terminate on the payment in full of all Obligations.

          7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants Concerning the Collateral. Each Company
represents, warrants (each of which such representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated
upon the making of each request for a Revolving Loan and made as of the time of each and every
Revolving Loan hereunder) and covenants as follows:

          (a) all of the Collateral (i) is owned by it free and clear of all Liens (including any claims
of infringement) except those in Laurus’ favor and Permitted Liens and (ii) is not subject to any
agreement prohibiting the granting of a Lien or requiring notice of or consent to the granting of a
Lien unless such notice has been provided or consent obtained.

          (b) it shall not encumber, mortgage, pledge, assign or grant any Lien in any Collateral or any
other assets to anyone other than Laurus and except for Permitted Liens.

          (c) the Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement, upon due completion of the filings of UCC-1
financing statements in respect of each grantor of such Liens in the applicable filing offices of
the states of organization of such grantor and the completion of the other filings and actions
listed on Schedule 7(c) (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred
to in said Schedule, have been delivered to Laurus in duly executed form) constitute valid
perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of Laurus as security for the prompt
and complete payment and performance of the Loans, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof
against any and all of its creditors and purchasers and such security interest is prior to all
other Liens in existence on the date hereof.

          (d) no effective security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, financing statement, equivalent
security or Lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral is
or will be on file or of record in any public office, except those relating to Permitted Liens.

          (e) it shall not dispose of any of the Collateral whether by sale, lease or otherwise except
for the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business and for the disposition or transfer in
the ordinary course of business during any fiscal year of obsolete and worn-out Equipment having an
aggregate fair market value of not more than $25,000 and only to the extent that (i) the proceeds
of any such disposition are used to acquire replacement Equipment which is subject to Laurus’ first
priority security interest or are used to repay Loans or to pay general corporate expenses, or (ii)
following the occurrence of an Event of Default which continues to exist the proceeds of which are
remitted to Laurus to be held as cash collateral for the Obligations.

          (f) it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the right, title and interest of
Laurus in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, and take
such actions, including (i) actions necessary to grant Laurus “control” of any Investment Property,
Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights or electronic Chattel Paper owned by it, with any
agreements establishing control to be in form and substance satisfactory to Laurus, (ii) the prompt
(but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following Laurus’ request therefor) delivery to
Laurus of all original Instruments, Chattel Paper, negotiable Documents and certificated Stock
owned by it (in each case, accompanied by stock powers,

allonges or other instruments of transfer
executed in blank), (iii) notification of Laurus’ interest in Collateral at Laurus’ request, and
(iv) the institution of litigation against third parties as shall be prudent in order to protect
and preserve its and/or Laurus’ respective and several interests in the Collateral.

          (g) it shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the same is
acquired by it, notify Laurus of any commercial tort claim (as defined in the UCC) acquired by it
and unless otherwise consented by Laurus, it shall enter into a supplement to this Agreement
granting to Laurus a Lien in such commercial tort claim.

          (h) it shall place notations upon its Books and Records and any of its financial statements to
disclose Laurus’ Lien in the Collateral.

          (i) if it retains possession of any Chattel Paper or Instrument with Laurus’ consent, upon
Laurus’ request such Chattel Paper and Instruments shall be marked with the
following legend: “This writing and obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to
the security interest of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the
reasonable request of Laurus, such Chattel Paper and Instruments shall be delivered to Laurus.

          (j) it shall perform in a reasonable time all other commercially reasonable steps requested by
Laurus to create and maintain in Laurus’ favor a valid perfected first Lien in all Collateral
subject only to Permitted Liens.

          (k) it shall notify Laurus promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after
obtaining knowledge thereof (i) of any event or circumstance that, to its knowledge, would cause
Laurus to consider any then existing Account and/or Inventory as no longer constituting an Eligible
Account or Eligible Inventory, as the case may be; (ii) of any material delay in its performance of
any of its obligations to any Account Debtor; (iii) of any assertion by any Account Debtor of any
material claims, offsets or counterclaims; (iv) of any allowances, credits and/or monies granted by
it to any Account Debtor; (v) of all material adverse information relating to the financial
condition of an Account Debtor; (vi) of any material return of goods; and (vii) of any material
loss, damage or destruction of any of the Collateral.

          (l) all Eligible Accounts (i) represent complete bona fide transactions which require no
further act under any circumstances on its part to make such Accounts payable by the Account
Debtors, (ii) are not subject to any present, future contingent offsets or counterclaims, and (iii)
do not represent bill and hold sales, consignment sales, guaranteed sales, sale or return or other
similar understandings or obligations of any Affiliate or Subsidiary of such Company. It has not
made, nor will it make, any agreement with any Account Debtor for any extension of time for the
payment of any Account, any compromise or settlement for less than the full amount thereof, any
release of any Account Debtor from liability therefor, or any deduction therefrom except (x) a
discount or allowance for prompt or early payment, or a settlement, that does not total more than
$25,000 in the aggregate or (y) an extension of time for the payment of any Account that is not
longer than ninety (90) days, in each case, allowed by it in the ordinary course of its business
consistent with historical practice and as previously disclosed to Laurus in writing.

          (a) Each Company will irrevocably direct all of its present and future Account Debtors and
other Persons obligated to make payments constituting Collateral to make such payments directly to
the lockboxes maintained by such Company (the “Lockboxes”) with Wells Fargo or such other
financial institution accepted by Laurus in writing as may be selected by such Company (the
“Lockbox Bank”) pursuant to the terms of the certain agreements among one or more
Companies, Laurus and/or the Lockbox Bank. On or prior to the Closing Date, each Company shall and
shall cause the Lockbox Bank to enter into all such documentation acceptable to Laurus pursuant to
which, among other things, the Lockbox Bank agrees to: (a) sweep the Lockbox on a daily basis and
deposit all checks received therein to an account designated by Laurus in writing and (b) comply
only with the instructions or other directions of Laurus concerning the Lockbox. All of each
Company’s invoices, account statements and other written or oral communications directing,
instructing, demanding or requesting payment of any Account of any Company or any other amount
constituting Collateral shall conspicuously direct

Security and Purchase Agreement

that all payments be made to the Lockbox or such
other address as Laurus may direct in writing. If, notwithstanding the instructions to Account
Debtors, any Company receives any payments, such Company shall immediately remit such payments to
Laurus in their original form with all necessary endorsements. Until so remitted, such Company
shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of Laurus and shall not commingle
such payments with any of its other funds or property.

          (b) At Laurus’ election, following the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Laurus may notify each Company’s Account Debtors of Laurus’ security interest in the
Accounts, collect them directly and charge the collection costs and expenses thereof to Company’s
and the Eligible Subsidiaries joint and several account.

          9. Collection and Maintenance of Collateral.

          (a) Laurus may verify each Company’s Accounts from time to time, but not more often than once
every three (3) months, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or Laurus
believes that such verification is necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral, utilizing an
audit control company or any other agent of Laurus.

          (b) Proceeds of Accounts received by Laurus will be deemed received on the Business Day after
Laurus’ receipt of such proceeds in good funds in dollars of the United States of America to an
account designated by Laurus. Any amount received by Laurus after 12:00 noon (New York time) on
any Business Day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

          (c) As Laurus receives the proceeds of Accounts of any Company, it shall (i) apply such
proceeds, as required, to amounts outstanding and then due under the Revolving Notes, and (ii)
remit all such remaining proceeds (net of interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to
Laurus hereunder) to Company Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Companies) upon request (but
no more often than twice a week). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Laurus, at its option, may (a) apply such proceeds
to the Obligations in such order as Laurus shall elect, (b) hold all such proceeds as cash
collateral for the Obligations and each Company hereby grants to Laurus a security interest in such
cash collateral amounts as security for the Obligations and/or (c) do any combination of the
foregoing.

          10. Inspections and Appraisals. Following three (3) Business Days’ notice by Laurus
(or without such notice in the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), at
all times during normal business hours, Laurus, and/or any agent of Laurus shall have the right to
(a) have access to, visit, inspect, review, evaluate and make physical verification and appraisals
of each Company’s properties and the Collateral, (b) inspect, audit and copy (or take originals if
necessary) and make extracts from each Company’s Books and Records, including management letters
prepared by the Accountants, and (c) discuss with each Company’s directors, principal officers, and
independent accountants, each Company’s business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results
of operations and business prospects. Each Company will deliver to Laurus any instrument necessary
for Laurus to obtain records from any

unsatisfactory in any manner to Laurus, Laurus may request that the Accountants review the same.

Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any
offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances
that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by it for purposes of the Securities Act which
would prevent it from issuing the Securities pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any
applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will it or any of its Affiliates
or Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be
integrated with other offerings and thereby resulting in the offering of securities to not have
been in compliance with Rule 506.

          (x) Stop Transfer. The Securities are restricted securities as of the date of this

2001. It shall promptly notify Laurus if any of these representations, warranties and covenants

          (z) Public Transaction. The Parent shall consummate the Public Transaction no later
than the date that is the six month anniversary of the Closing Date.

          (aa) Antidilution. In the event that the Parent issues additional shares of Common
Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock (the “Additional Stock”) to a
Person other than a Company prior to the Public Company Closing Date (each, a “Dilution
Event”), it shall issue an additional warrant to Laurus, on the same terms as the Warrant
issued by the Parent to Laurus on the date hereof, representing the right to purchase twenty
percent (20%) of the total amount of Common Stock issued to such third party on an as-converted
basis (each, an “Additional Warrant”). Each Additional Warrant shall be included as a “Warrant” under, and as defined in, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing contained in this clause (aa), the Parent shall not be required to
issue an Additional Warrant following a Dilution Event if the price per share of Common Stock paid
by such Person (or the conversion price or exercise price in the case of a convertible or
exercisable security) in connection with any such issuance exceeds $3.69 (as such price shall be
appropriately adjusted for any stock split, subdivision, combination of other similar corporate
event that occurs after the date hereof) or (ii) such Dilution Event consists of of the issuance of
Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock under any employee stock
option plan (including any increase in the number of shares available under any employee stock
option plan), or employee stock purchase or bonus arrangement, in each case, which is approved by
the Board of Directors of the Company

          14. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
Laurus and at the sole expense of Companies, each Company shall promptly and duly execute and
deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Laurus
may request (a) to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (b) to
protect, preserve and maintain Laurus’ rights in the Collateral and under this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement, and/or (c) to enable Laurus to exercise all or any of the rights and powers
herein granted or any Ancillary Agreement.

          15. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Laurus. Laurus hereby represents,
warrants and covenants to each Company as follows:

          (a) Requisite Power and Authority. Laurus has all necessary power and authority under
all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements
and to carry out their provisions. All corporate action on Laurus’ part required for the lawful
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have been or will be
effectively taken prior to the Closing Date. Upon their execution and delivery, this Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements shall be valid and binding obligations of Laurus, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application

Security and Purchase Agreement

29

 

affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (b) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of
equitable and legal remedies.

          (b) Investment Representations. Laurus understands that the Securities are being
offered pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part
upon Laurus’ representations contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, that
Laurus is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
Laurus has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or
appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Notes to be issued to it under this Agreement and the Securities acquired by it upon the conversion of the Secured
Convertible Term Note and the exercise of the Warrants.

          (c) Laurus Bears Economic Risk. Laurus has substantial experience in evaluating and
investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Parent so
that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Parent and has the
capacity to protect its own interests. Laurus must bear the economic risk of this investment until
the Securities are sold pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, or (ii) an exemption from registration is available.

          (d) Investment for Own Account. The Securities are being issued to Laurus for its own
account for investment only, and not as a nominee or agent and not with a view towards or for
resale in connection with their distribution.

          (e) Laurus Can Protect Its Interest. Laurus represents that by reason of its, or of
its management’s, business and financial experience, Laurus has the capacity to evaluate the merits
and risks of its investment in the Notes, and the Securities and to protect its own interests in
connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and the Ancillary Agreements.
Further, Laurus is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the transactions
contemplated in the Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

          (f) Accredited Investor. Laurus represents that it is an accredited investor within
the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

          (g) Shorting. Neither Laurus nor any of its Affiliates or investment partners has,
will, or will cause any Person, to directly engage in “short sales” of the Parent’s Common Stock as
long as any amount under any Note shall remain outstanding.

          (h) Patriot Act. Laurus certifies that, to the best of Laurus’ knowledge, Laurus has
not been designated, and is not owned or controlled, by a “suspected terrorist” as defined in
Executive Order 13224. Laurus seeks to comply with all applicable laws concerning money laundering
and related activities. In furtherance of those efforts, Laurus hereby represents, warrants and
covenants that: (i) none of the cash or property that Laurus will use to make the Loans has been
or shall be derived from, or related to, any activity that is deemed criminal under United States
law; and (ii) no disbursement by Laurus to any Company to the extent within Laurus’ control, shall
cause Laurus to be in violation of the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States
International Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the United States International Money
Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of

Security and Purchase Agreement

30

 

2001. Laurus shall promptly notify the Company Agent if any of these representations
ceases to be true and accurate regarding Laurus. Laurus agrees to provide the Company any
additional information regarding Laurus that the Company deems necessary or convenient to ensure
compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities. Laurus
understands and agrees that if at any time it is discovered that any of the foregoing
representations are incorrect, or if otherwise required by applicable law or regulation related to
money laundering similar activities, Laurus may undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance
with applicable law or regulation, including but not limited to segregation and/or redemption of
Laurus’ investment in the Parent. Laurus further understands that the Parent may release
information about Laurus and, if applicable, any underlying beneficial owners, to proper
authorities if the Parent, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of
the Parent in light of relevant rules and regulations under the laws set forth in subsection (ii)
above.

          (i) Limitation on Acquisition of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or any document, instrument or
agreement entered into in connection with any other transaction entered into by and between Laurus
and any Company (and/or Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any Company), Laurus shall not acquire stock
in the Parent (including, without limitation, pursuant to a contract to purchase, by exercising an
option or warrant, by converting any other security or instrument, by acquiring or exercising any
other right to acquire, shares of stock or other security convertible into shares of stock in the
Parent, or otherwise, and such options, warrants, conversion or other rights shall not be
exercisable) to the extent such stock acquisition would cause any interest (including any original
issue discount) payable by any Company to Laurus not to qualify as portfolio interest, within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
by reason of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, taking into account the constructive ownership rules
under Section 871(h)(3)(C) of the Code (the “Stock Acquisition Limitation”). The Stock
Acquisition Limitation shall automatically become null and void without any notice to any Company
upon the earlier to occur of either (a) the Parent’s delivery to Laurus of a Notice of Redemption
(as defined in the Secured Convertible Term Note) or (b) the existence of an Event of Default at a
time when the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the
Principal Market for the immediately preceding five trading days is greater than or equal to 150%
of the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in the Secured Convertible Term Note).

          (j) Confidentiality. Laurus shall comply with the terms of the Confidentiality and
Non-Disclosure Agreement entered into between the Parent and Laurus on or prior to the date hereof.

          16. Power of Attorney. Each Company hereby appoints Laurus, or any other Person whom
Laurus may designate as such Company’s attorney, so long as actions taken by Laurus in such
capacity or otherwise pursuant to this Section 16 are consistent with the terms of this Agreement,
with power to:

          (a) (i) execute any security related documentation on such Company’s behalf and to supply any
omitted information and correct patent errors in any documents executed by such Company or on such
Company’s behalf; (ii) to file financing statements against such

Security and Purchase Agreement

31

 

Company covering the Collateral
(and, in connection with the filing of any such financing statements, describe the Collateral as
“all assets and all personal property, whether now owned and/or hereafter acquired” (or any
substantially similar variation thereof)); (iii) sign such Company’s name on any invoice or bill of
lading relating to any Accounts, drafts against Account Debtors, schedules and assignments of
Accounts, notices of assignment, financing statements and other public records, verifications of
Account and notices to or from Account Debtors; and (iv) to do all other things Laurus deems
necessary to carry out the terms of Section 6 of this Agreement, and

          (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (i) endorse such
Company’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or
security that may come into Laurus’ possession; (ii) verify the validity, amount or any other
matter relating to any Account by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise with Account Debtors;
(iii) do all other things necessary to carry out this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement and all
related documents; and (iv) notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery
of such Company’s mail to an address designated by Laurus, and to receive, open and dispose of all
mail addressed to such Company. Each Company hereby ratifies and approves all acts of the
attorney. Neither Laurus, nor the attorney will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any
error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, except for negligence or willful misconduct. This
power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as Laurus has a security interest and
until the Loans have been fully satisfied.

          17. Term of Agreement.

          (a) Laurus’ agreement to make Loans and extend financial accommodations under and in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect until the expiration of the Term. At Laurus’ election following the occurrence of and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Laurus may, after providing written notice to the
Companies, terminate this Agreement. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any of
Laurus’ rights hereunder or any Ancillary Agreement and the provisions hereof and thereof shall
continue to be fully operative until the Obligations (other than those Obligations set forth in the
Warrants, the Public Transaction Letter Agreement, the Supplementary Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement) have been irrevocably paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Laurus shall
promptly release its security interests upon
irrevocable payment to it of all Obligations (other than those Obligations set forth in the
Warrants, the Public Transaction Letter Agreement, the Supplementary Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement).

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon indefeasible prepayment of the Obligations (other than
those Obligations set forth in the Warrants, the Public Transaction Letter Agreement, the
Supplementary Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement) in full in immediately available
funds, the Companies shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements,
other than the Warrants, the Public Transaction Letter Agreement, the Supplementary Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement.

Security and Purchase Agreement

32

 

          18. Termination of Lien. The Liens and rights granted to Laurus hereunder and any
Ancillary Agreements and the financing statements filed in connection herewith or therewith shall
continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact
that any Company’s account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until
all of the Loans have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Laurus shall not, however, be required to send
termination statements to any Company, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, other than the Warrants, the Public Transaction Letter
Agreement, the Supplementary Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, shall have been
terminated in accordance with their terms and all Loans indefeasibly paid in full in immediately
available funds. Upon the full, final and indefeasible payment of all Obligations (other than
those obligations set forth in the Warrants, the Public Transaction Letter Agreement, the
Supplementary Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement) and the termination of this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Warrants, the Public Transaction Letter
Agreement, the Supplementary Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement), Laurus shall release
its security interests and Liens in and to the Collateral, shall execute in favor of each Company
any UCC release or termination statement (or other documents reasonably requested by a Company) in
respect thereof, shall release each security instrument and any other recorded security document
and shall reassign and deliver to each Company all other Collateral then in the physical possession
of Laurus or its agent (without recourse and without representations or warranties of any kind).
The Companies shall bear all out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
legal fees and disbursements of Laurus) in connection with such release, reassignment and delivery.
All such release and/or termination documentation shall be reasonably satisfactory to Laurus, the
Companies and their respective counsel.

          19. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
“Event of Default”:

          (a) failure to make payment of any of the Obligations when required hereunder, and, in any
such case, such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days following the date
upon which any such payment was due;

Subordinated Debt Documentation) beyond the period of grace (if any), the effect of which default
is to cause, or permit the holder or holders of such indebtedness or beneficiary or beneficiaries
of such contingent obligation to cause, such indebtedness or contingent obligation to become due

which are continuing following ten (10) Business Days’ notice by Laurus;

          (h) any Lien created hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement for any reason ceases to be or
is not a valid and perfected Lien having a first priority interest;

          (i) any Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall (i) apply for, consent to or suffer to exist

          20. Remedies. Following the occurrence, and during the occurrence, of an Event of
Default, Laurus shall, following the provision of written notice to the Companies, have the right
to demand repayment in full of all Loans, whether or not otherwise due. Until all Obligations
(other than those Obligations set forth in the Warrants, the Public Transaction Letter Agreement,
the Supplementary Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement) have been fully and indefeasibly
satisfied, Laurus shall retain its Lien in all Collateral. Laurus shall have, in addition to all
other rights provided herein and in each Ancillary Agreement, the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC, and under other applicable law, all other legal and equitable rights to which
Laurus may be entitled, including the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral, to
require each Company to assemble the Collateral, at Companies’ joint and several expense, and to
make it available to Laurus at a place designated by Laurus which is reasonably
convenient to both parties and to enter any of the premises of any Company or wherever the
Collateral shall be located, with or without force or process of law, and to keep and store the
same on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of any Company, such Company
agrees not to charge Laurus for storage thereof), and the right to apply for the appointment of a
receiver for such Company’s property. Further, Laurus may, at any time or times after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, sell and deliver all Collateral held by or for Laurus at public
or private sale for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Laurus,
in Laurus’ sole discretion, deems advisable or Laurus may otherwise recover upon the Collateral in
any commercially reasonable manner as Laurus, in its sole discretion, deems advisable. The
requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed postage prepaid to Company
Agent at Company Agent’s address as shown in Laurus’ records, at least ten (10) days before the
time of the event of which notice is being given. Laurus may be the purchaser at any sale, if it
is public. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Laurus is granted permission
to use all of each Company’s Intellectual Property. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to
all costs and expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees, and second to the payment (in whatever
order Laurus elects) of all Obligations. After the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full
of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Laurus of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including Section 9-608(a)(1) of the UCC (but only after Laurus has received what
Laurus considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any,
shall be paid to Company Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Companies) or its representatives
or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct. The Companies shall remain jointly and severally liable to Laurus for any
deficiency. Each Company and Laurus acknowledge that the actual damages that would be incurred by
Laurus after the occurrence of an Event of Default would be difficult to quantify and that such
Company and Laurus have agreed

 Security and Purchase Agreement

36

 

that the fees and obligations set forth in this Section and in this
Agreement would constitute fair and appropriate liquidated damages in the event of any such
termination. The parties hereto each hereby agree that the exercise by any party hereto of any
right granted to it or the exercise by any party hereto of any remedy available to it (including,
without limitation, the issuance of a notice of redemption, a borrowing request and/or a notice of
default), in each case, hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement shall not constitute
confidential information and no party shall have any duty to the other party to maintain such
information as confidential, except for the portions of such publicly filed documents that are
subject to confidential treatment request made by the Companies to the SEC.

          21. Waivers. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each Company hereby
waives (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to
accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension or renewal of any or all of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or any other
notes, commercial paper, Accounts, contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties
at any time held by Laurus on which such Company may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and
confirms whatever Laurus may do in this regard; and (b) all rights to notice and a hearing
prior to Laurus’ taking possession or control of, or to Laurus’ replevy, attachment or levy
upon, any Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing
Laurus to exercise any of its remedies. Each Company acknowledges that it has been advised by
counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and
the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

          22. Expenses. The Companies shall jointly and severally pay all of Laurus’
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of in-house or
outside counsel and appraisers, in connection with (x) subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 5(b)(iii), the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, and (y) in connection with the prosecution or defense of any action, contest, dispute,
suit or proceeding concerning any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with
this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. The Companies shall also jointly and severally pay all
of Laurus’ reasonable fees, charges, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees and
disbursements of counsel and appraisers, in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and
delivery of any waiver, any amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (b) Laurus’ obtaining
performance of the Obligations under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements, including, but
not limited to, the enforcement or defense of Laurus’ security interests, assignments of rights and
Liens hereunder as valid perfected security interests, (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect,
collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, (d) any appraisals or reappraisals
of any property (real or personal) pledged to Laurus by any Company or any of its Subsidiaries as
Collateral for, or any other Person as security for, the Obligations hereunder and (e) any
consultations in connection with any of the foregoing. The Companies shall also jointly and
severally pay Laurus’ customary bank charges for all bank services (including wire transfers)
performed or caused to be performed by Laurus for any Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any
Company’s or such Subsidiary’s request or in connection with any Company’s loan account with
Laurus. All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and search fees, taxes and
interest payable by the Companies to Laurus

 Security and Purchase Agreement

37

 

shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by the
Collateral. If any tax by any Governmental Authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any
transaction between any Company and/or any Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand, and Laurus on the
other hand, which Laurus is or may be required to withhold or pay (including, without limitation,
as a result of a breach by any Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Section 13(u) herein), the
Companies hereby jointly and severally indemnifies and holds Laurus harmless in respect of such
taxes, and the Companies will repay to Laurus the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged
to the Companies’ account; and until the Companies shall furnish Laurus with indemnity therefor (or
supply Laurus with evidence satisfactory to it that due provision for the payment thereof has been
made), Laurus may hold without interest any balance standing to each Company’s credit and Laurus
shall retain its Liens in any and all Collateral.

          23. Assignment.

          (a) Laurus may assign any or all of the Obligations together with any or all of the security
therefor to any Person and any such assignee shall succeed to all of Laurus’ rights with respect
thereto; provided that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Laurus shall not
be permitted under any circumstances to effect any such assignment to a competitor of any Company
or to a fund or other entity, which has an investment or other economic interest, in its investment
portfolio or otherwise, in a competitor of any Company or holds an interest in the same. Upon such
assignment, Laurus shall be released from all responsibility for the Collateral to the extent same
is assigned to any transferee. Laurus may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations
in any of the Obligations and the holder of any such participation shall, subject to the terms of
any agreement between Laurus and such holder, be entitled to the same benefits as Laurus with
respect to any security for the Obligations in which such holder is a participant. Each Company
agrees that each such holder may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off and
counterclaim with respect to its participation in the Obligations as fully as though such Company
were directly indebted to such holder in the amount of such participation.

          (b) Prior to the closing of the Public Transaction, the Public Company shall enter into any
and all assignment and assumption documents required by Laurus, which documents shall be
satisfactory in form and substance to Laurus and satisfy all terms and conditions of the Public
Company Letter Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time will the foregoing assignment
diminish, in any manner whatsoever, Laurus’ right, title and interest in and to the Collateral and
the Obligations and Laurus’ rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Prior to the
closing of the Public Transaction, Company Agent shall take all necessary actions to preserve
Laurus’ right, title and interest in and to the Collateral and the Obligations (as contemplated by
this Agreement) and Laurus’ rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

          24. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Failure by Laurus to exercise any right, remedy
or option under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any supplement hereto or thereto or any
other agreement between or among any Company and Laurus or delay by Laurus in exercising the same,
will not operate as a waiver; no waiver by Laurus will be effective unless it is in writing and
then only to the extent specifically stated. Laurus’ rights and

 Security and Purchase Agreement

38

 

remedies under this Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which
Laurus may have.

          25. Application of Payments. Each Company irrevocably waives the right to direct the
application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by Laurus from or on
such Company’s
behalf and each Company hereby irrevocably agrees that Laurus shall have the continuing
exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter
against the Obligations hereunder in such manner as Laurus may deem advisable notwithstanding any
entry by Laurus upon any of Laurus’ books and records.

          26. Indemnity.

          (a) The Companies hereby jointly and severally, indemnifies and holds Laurus, and their
respective affiliates, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”),
harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses,
liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any
appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person, as
the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated, under this Agreement or any of
the Ancillary Agreements or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Ancillary
Agreements or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein
and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, except to the extent that
any such indemnified liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED
PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY PARTY OR TO ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY
BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT,
PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN
EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR AS A RESULT OF
ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

          (b) Laurus agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend each Company and each
Company’s officers, directors, agents, affiliates, control persons and principal shareholders, at
all times against any claims, costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations, losses or damages
(including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon such Company which
result, arise out of or are based upon: (i) any misrepresentation by Laurus or breach of any
warranty by Laurus in this Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or any
Ancillary Agreement; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Laurus of any covenant or
undertaking to be performed by Laurus hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by and among
any Company and Laurus relating hereto.

          27. Revival. The Companies further agree that to the extent any Company makes a
payment or payments to Laurus, which payment or payments or any part thereof are

 Security and Purchase Agreement

39

 

subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment
had not been made.

          28. Borrowing Agency Provisions.

          (a) Each Company hereby irrevocably designates Company Agent to be its attorney and agent and
in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments,
documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such
Company, and hereby authorizes Laurus to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in
accordance with the request of Company Agent.

          (b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in
the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Companies and at their
request. Laurus shall not incur any liability to any Company as a result thereof. To induce
Laurus to do so and in consideration thereof, each Company hereby indemnifies Laurus and holds
Laurus harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of
damage or injury asserted against Laurus by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the
handling of the financing arrangements of the Companies as provided herein, reliance by Laurus on
any request or instruction from Company Agent or any other action taken by Laurus with respect to
this Section 28.

          (c) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and the Companies shall make payment upon the
maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the
part of the Companies shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance
granted by Laurus to any Company, failure of Laurus to give any Company notice of borrowing or any
other notice, any failure of Laurus to pursue to preserve its rights against any Company, the
release by Laurus of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Company, and such agreement
by any Company to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by
prior recourse by Laurus to any Company or any Collateral for such Company’s Obligations or the
lack thereof.

          (d) Each Company expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity,
exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Company may now or hereafter have against
the other or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations, or against or with
respect to any other’s property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral
for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of
this Agreement, until all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement
has been irrevocably terminated.

          (e) Each Company represents and warrants to Laurus that (i) Companies have one or more common
shareholders, directors and officers, (ii) the businesses and corporate activities of Companies are
closely related to, and substantially benefit, the business and corporate activities of Companies,
(iii) the financial and other operations of Companies are

 Security and Purchase Agreement

40

 

performed on a combined basis as if
Companies constituted a consolidated corporate group, (iv) Companies will receive a substantial
economic benefit from entering into this Agreement and will receive a substantial economic benefit
from the application of each Loan hereunder, in each case, whether or not such amount is used
directly by any Company and (v) all requests for Loans hereunder by the Company Agent are for the
exclusive and indivisible benefit of the Companies as though, for purposes of this Agreement, the
Companies constituted a single entity.

          29. Notices. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to any Company, Company
Agent or Laurus at the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a
notice designated as a change of address under this Section. Any notice or request hereunder shall

          (c) THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE
LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN
LAURUS, AND/OR ANY COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR
THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

          31. Limitation of Liability.

nor any of Laurus’ agents shall be liable for acts taken or omissions made in connection herewith
or therewith except for actual bad faith.

          32. Entire Understanding; Maximum Interest. This Agreement and the Ancillary

may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally
or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the
party to be charged. Nothing contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or in any
document
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require
the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other
charges hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such
maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Companies to Laurus and thus refunded to the
Companies.

          33. Severability. Wherever possible each provision of this Agreement or the Ancillary

or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
thereof.

          34. Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein
shall survive any investigation made by Laurus and the closing of the transactions contemplated
hereby and continue through the Term unless this Agreement is terminated

this Agreement. All statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate or other
instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Companies pursuant hereto in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the
Companies hereunder solely as of the date of such certificate or instrument. All indemnities set
forth herein shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements and the making and repaying of the Obligations.

          35. Captions. All captions are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of
any kind whatsoever.

          36. Counterparts; Telecopier Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party via telecopier
transmission shall be deemed to be any original signature hereto.

Company hereby authorizes Laurus to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement
entered into by and among each Company and Laurus, in such publications and to such selected
parties as Laurus shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate, or as required by
applicable law; provided that Laurus shall be permitted to make announcements which are commonly
known as tombstones without the review and comment by the Company Agent so long as the terms set
forth in such tombstones are accurate.

          39. Joinder. It is understood and agreed that any Person that desires to become a

any convertible security or exercise of any option or warrant (other than the Warrant)) but not
including those shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant (the “Shares”).

such sold or transferred Shares at the time of such sale and/or transfer and (y) with respect to
those Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise under such assigned instrument, at the time of
the assignment of such instrument, in each case, without any further action required by any person.

following Laurus’ receipt thereof, at the address for Proxy Holder set forth in Section 29, copies
of all materials received by Laurus relating, in each case, to the solicitation of the vote of
shareholders of the Parent.

          This proxy shall remain in effect with respect to the Shares of the Parent during the period
commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of (a) payment in full of all
obligations and liabilities owing by the Companies to Laurus (as the same may be amended, restated,
extended or modified from time to time) and (b) the occurrence and continuance of a default or
event of default under any document, instrument or agreement between any Company and, or made by
any Company in favor of, Laurus.

          42. Simultaneous Acquisition and Disposition of Real Property. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Laurus hereby

Exhibit 10.6

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

     This Stock Pledge Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 25, 2006, among
Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Pledgee”), Silicon Mountain Memory Incorporated, a Colorado
corporation (the “Company”), and each of the other undersigned parties (other than the
Pledgee) (the Company and each such other undersigned party, a “Pledgor” and collectively,
the “Pledgors”).

BACKGROUND

     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into a Security and Purchase
Agreement dated as of September 25, 2006 (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from
time to time, the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Pledgee provides or will
provide certain financial accommodations to the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company.

     In order to induce the Pledgee to provide or continue to provide the financial accommodations
described in the Security Agreement, each Pledgor has agreed to pledge and grant a security
interest in the collateral described herein to the Pledgee on the terms and conditions set forth
herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein which are not defined shall have
the meanings given to them in the Security Agreement.

     2. Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. To secure the full and punctual payment and
performance of (the following clauses (a) and (b), collectively, the “Obligations”) (a) the
obligations under the Security Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements referred to in the Security
Agreement (the Security Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as each may be amended, restated,
modified and/or supplemented from time to time, collectively, the “Documents”) and (b) all
other obligations and liabilities of each Pledgor to the Pledgee whether now existing or hereafter
arising, direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and
whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by a note, agreement, guaranty, instrument or otherwise (in
each case, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such
Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of any collateral therefor
or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance
or disallowance of any or all of such in any case commenced by or against any Pledgor under Title
11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations of each Pledgor for
post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the
Obligations but for the commencement of such case),

Stock Pledge Agreement

 

 

each Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and grants a security interest
to Pledgee in all of the following (the “Collateral”):

          (a) the shares of stock or other equity interests set forth on Schedule A annexed
hereto and expressly made a part hereof (together with any additional shares of stock or other
equity interests acquired by any Pledgor, the “Pledged Stock”), the certificates
representing the Pledged Stock and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds
from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for
any or all of the Pledged Stock;

          (b) all additional shares of stock or other equity interests of any issuer (each, an
“Issuer”) of the Pledged Stock from time to time acquired by any Pledgor in any manner,
including, without limitation, stock dividends or a distribution in connection with any increase or
reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of
shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off (which shares shall be deemed to be part of the
Collateral), and the certificates representing such additional shares, and all dividends, cash,
instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such shares; and

          (c) all options and rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution of or in exchange for
any shares of any Pledged Stock and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds
from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for
any or all such options and rights.

     3. Delivery of Collateral. All certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged
Stock shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of Pledgee pursuant hereto and shall be
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank, all in form and
substance satisfactory to Pledgee. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Issuer upon demand by the
Pledgee to deliver any certificates, instruments or other distributions issued in connection with
the Collateral directly to the Pledgee, in each case to be held by the Pledgee, subject to the
terms hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined
below), the Pledgee shall have the right, during such time in its discretion and without notice to
the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Pledgee or any of its nominees any or
all of the Pledged Stock. In addition, the Pledgee shall have the right at such time to exchange
certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Stock for certificates or
instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

     4. Representations and Warranties of each Pledgor. Each Pledgor jointly and severally
represents and warrants to the Pledgee (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to
continue to be made until all of the Obligations have been paid in full and each Document and each
agreement and instrument entered into in connection therewith has been irrevocably terminated)
that:

     (a) the execution, delivery and performance by each Pledgor of this Agreement and the pledge
of the Collateral hereunder do not and will not result in any violation

of any agreement, except for which a consent has been obtained, indenture, instrument,
license, judgment, decree, order, law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule or regulation
applicable to any Pledgor;

          (b) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each Pledgor
enforceable against each Pledgor in accordance with its terms;

          (c) (i) all Pledged Stock owned by each Pledgor is set forth on Schedule A hereto and
(ii) each Pledgor is the direct and beneficial owner of each share of the Pledged Stock;

          (d) all of the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly authorized, validly issued and are
fully paid and nonassessable;

          (e) no consent or approval other than those concerning the Permitted Liens of any person,
corporation, governmental body, regulatory authority or other entity, is or will be necessary for
(i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the exercise by the Pledgee of
any rights with respect to the Collateral or (iii) the pledge and assignment of, and the grant of a
security interest in, the Collateral hereunder;

          (f) there are no pending or, to the best of Pledgor’s knowledge, threatened actions or
proceedings before any court, judicial body, administrative agency or arbitrator which may
materially adversely affect the Collateral;

          (g) each Pledgor has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
pledge and assign the Collateral to the Pledgee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

          (h) each Pledgor owns each item of the Collateral and, except for the pledge and security
interest granted to Pledgee hereunder, the Collateral shall be, immediately following the closing
of the transactions contemplated by the Documents, free and clear of any other security interest,
mortgage, pledge, claim, lien, charge, hypothecation, assignment, offset or encumbrance whatsoever,
in each case, other than those concerning the Permitted Liens (collectively, “Liens”);

          (i) there are no restrictions on transfer of the Pledged Stock contained in the articles of
incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Issuer or otherwise which
have not otherwise been enforceably and legally waived by the necessary parties;

          (j) none of the Pledged Stock has been issued or transferred in violation of the securities
registration, securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or
transfer may be subject;

Stock Pledge Agreement

          (k) the pledge and assignment of the Collateral and the grant of a security interest under
this Agreement vest in the Pledgee all rights of each Pledgor in the Collateral as contemplated by
this Agreement; and

          (l) The Pledged Stock constitutes one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of each Issuer.

     5. Covenants. Each Pledgor jointly and severally covenants that, until the
Obligations shall be indefeasibly satisfied in full and each Document and each agreement and
instrument entered into in connection therewith is irrevocably terminated:

          (a) Except for the assignment of VCI System, Inc.’s stock from the Company to the Public
Company following the Public Transaction (and as contemplated by the Public Transaction Letter
Agreement) (provided that the Public Company has complied with Section 3 hereof), no Pledgor will
sell, assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of its rights in or to the Collateral or any
interest therein; nor will any Pledgor create, incur or permit to exist any Lien whatsoever with
respect to any of the Collateral or the proceeds thereof other than that created hereby.

          (b) Each Pledgor will, at its reasonable expense, defend Pledgee’s right, title and security
interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any other party.

          (c) Each Pledgor shall at any time, and from time to time, upon the written request of
Pledgee, execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as Pledgee
may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement including, but without
limitation, delivering to Pledgee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, irrevocable proxies
in respect of the Collateral in form satisfactory to Pledgee. Until receipt thereof, upon an Event
of Default that has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period, this Agreement
shall constitute Pledgor’s proxy to Pledgee or its nominee to vote all shares of Collateral then
registered in each Pledgor’s name.

          (d) No Pledgor will consent to or approve the issuance of (i) any additional shares of any
class of capital stock or other equity interests of the Issuer; or (ii) any securities convertible
either voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of
any event or condition into, or any securities exchangeable for, any such shares, unless, in either
case, such shares are pledged as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

          (e) Each Pledgor agrees to execute and deliver to each Issuer that is a limited liability
company or a limited partnership a control acknowledgment (“Control Acknowledgement”) substantially
in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Each Pledgor shall cause each such Issuer to acknowledge in
writing its receipt and acceptance thereof. Such Control Acknowledgement shall instruct such Issuer
to follow instructions from Pledgee without any Pledgor’s consultation or consent.

     6. Voting Rights and Dividends. In addition to the Pledgee’s rights and remedies set
forth in Section 8 hereof, in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
beyond any applicable cure period, the Pledgee shall (i) be entitled to vote the Collateral, (ii)
be entitled to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral (each Pledgor
hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee, with full power of substitution, the
proxy and attorney-in-fact of each Pledgor for such purposes) and (iii) be entitled to collect and
receive for its own use cash dividends paid on the Collateral. No Pledgor shall be permitted to
exercise or refrain from exercising any voting rights or other powers if, in the reasonable
judgment of the Pledgee, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the
Collateral or any part thereof; and, provided, further, that each Pledgor shall
give at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice of the manner in which such Pledgor intends to
exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any voting rights or other powers other
than with respect to any election of directors and voting with respect to any incidental matters.
Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, all dividends and all other distributions in
respect of any of the Collateral, shall be delivered to the Pledgee to hold as Collateral and
shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, be
segregated from the other property or funds of any other Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the
Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

     7. Event of Default. An “Event of Default” under this Agreement shall occur upon the
happening of any of the following events:

          (a) An “Event of Default” under any Document or any agreement or note related to any Document
shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period;

          (b) Any Pledgor shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under any Document,
including, without limitation, this Agreement, and such default shall not be cured during the cure
period applicable thereto;

          (c) Any representation or warranty of any Pledgor made herein, in any Document or in any
agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection
herewith or therewith shall be false or misleading in any material respect;

          (d) Any portion of the Collateral is subjected to a levy of execution, attachment, distraint
or other judicial process or any portion of the Collateral is the subject of a claim (other than by
the Pledgee) of a Lien or other right or interest in or to the Collateral and such levy or claim
shall not be cured, disputed or stayed within a period of fifteen (15) business days after the
occurrence thereof; or

          (e) Any Pledgor shall (i) apply for, consent to, or suffer to exist the appointment of, or the
taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee, liquidator or other fiduciary of itself or
of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, (iii) commence a voluntary case under any state or federal bankruptcy

laws (as now or hereafter in effect), (iv) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (v) file a
petition seeking to take advantage of any other law providing for the relief of debtors, (vi)
acquiesce to, or fail to have dismissed, within thirty (30) days, any petition filed against it in
any involuntary case under such bankruptcy laws, or (vii) take any action for the purpose of
effecting any of the foregoing.

     8. Remedies. In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the
Pledgee may:

          (a) Transfer any or all of the Collateral into its name, or into the name of its nominee or
nominees;

          (b) Exercise all corporate rights with respect to the Collateral including, without
limitation, all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or
options pertaining to any shares of the Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof,
including, but without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any or all of the
Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment
of the Issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the Issuer of any right, privilege or option
pertaining to any of the Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and
all of the Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated
agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account
for property actually received by it; and

          (c) Subject to any requirement of applicable law, sell, assign and deliver the whole or, from
time to time, any part of the Collateral at the time held by the Pledgee, at any private sale or at
public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or notice of the time or place of sale or
adjournment thereof or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived, except such notice as is required
by applicable law and cannot be waived), for cash or credit or for other property for immediate or
future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its sole
discretion may determine, or as may be required by applicable law.

          Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases any and all right or equity of redemption, whether
before or after sale hereunder. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee
may bid for and purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right
or equity of redemption. All moneys received by the Pledgee hereunder, whether upon sale of the
Collateral or any part thereof or otherwise, shall be held by the Pledgee and applied by it as
provided in Section 10 hereof. No failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising any
rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such rights preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other rights hereunder. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the
Collateral or any income thereon nor any duty as to preservation of any rights pertaining thereto,
except to apply the funds in accordance with the requirements of Section 10 hereof. The Pledgee
may exercise its rights with respect to property held hereunder without resort to other security
for or sources of reimbursement for the Obligations. In addition

Stock Pledge Agreement

6

 

to the foregoing, Pledgee shall have all of the rights, remedies and privileges of a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code of New York (the “UCC”) regardless of the jurisdiction in
which enforcement hereof is sought.

     9. Private Sale. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect (or
to do so only after delay which would adversely affect the value that might be realized from the
Collateral) a public sale of all or part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act, and 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. Each Pledgor agrees that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less
favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private sales shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Pledgor agrees that the Pledgee has no
obligation to delay sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer to
register the Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act.

     10. Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral shall be applied by the Pledgee as follows:

          (a) First, to the payment of all costs, reasonable expenses and charges of the Pledgee and to
the reimbursement of the Pledgee for the prior payment of such costs, reasonable expenses and
charges incurred in connection with the care and safekeeping of the Collateral (including, without
limitation, the reasonable expenses of any sale or any other disposition of any of the Collateral),
attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses, court costs, any other fees or expenses incurred or
expenditures or advances made by Pledgee in the protection, enforcement or exercise of its rights,
powers or remedies hereunder;

          (b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part, in such order as the
Pledgee may elect, whether or not such Obligations is then due;

          (c) Third, to such persons, firms, corporations or other entities as required by applicable
law including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC; and

          (d) Fourth, to the extent of any surplus to the Pledgors or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct.

          In the event that the proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization or sale are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations, each Pledgor shall be jointly and
severally liable for the deficiency plus the costs and fees of any attorneys employed by Pledgee to
collect such deficiency.

     11. Waiver of Marshaling. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right to compel any
marshaling of any of the Collateral.

Stock Pledge Agreement

7

 

     12. No Waiver. Any and all of the Pledgee’s rights with respect to the Liens granted
under this Agreement shall continue unimpaired, and Pledgor shall be and remain obligated in
accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
of any Pledgor, (b) the release or substitution of any item of the Collateral at any time, or of
any rights or interests therein, or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other
indulgence granted by the Pledgee in reference to any of the Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby
waives all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other
indulgence, and hereby consents to be bound hereby as fully and effectively as if such Pledgor had
expressly agreed thereto in advance. No delay or extension of time by the Pledgee in exercising
any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no failure by the Pledgee to give
notice or make demand, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice the
Pledgee’s right to take any action against any Pledgor or to exercise any other power of sale,
option or any other right or remedy.

     13. Expenses. The Collateral shall secure, and each Pledgor shall pay to Pledgee on
demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses, (including but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, taxes, and all transfer, recording, filing and other charges)
of, or incidental to, the custody, care, transfer, administration of the Collateral or any other
collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or
remedies of the Pledgee under this Agreement or with respect to any of the Obligations.

     14. The Pledgee Appointed Attorney-In-Fact and Performance by the Pledgee. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Pledgee as such Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to do in such Pledgor’s name, place and stead,
all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of such Pledgor, which such
Pledgor could or might do or which the Pledgee may deem necessary, desirable or convenient to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to execute such
instruments of assignment or transfer or orders and to register, convey or otherwise transfer title
to the Collateral into the Pledgee’s name. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that said
attorney-in-fact may so do and hereby declares this power of attorney to be coupled with an
interest and irrevocable. If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement herein contained, the
Pledgee may itself perform or cause performance thereof, and any costs and expenses of the Pledgee
incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Pledgors as provided in Section 10 hereof.

     15. Waivers. THE PARTIES HERETO DESIRES THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE
APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE
JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE BETWEEN LAURUS, AND/OR ANY COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL
TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEN IN

Stock Pledge Agreement

CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR
THERETO.

     16. Recapture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the
Pledgee receives any payment or payments on account of the Obligations, which payment or payments
