WHEREAS, in consideration for the Pledgee’s loan of
$50,000.00 to the Pledgor, the Pledgor is delivering to the Pledgee a duly executed promissory note, dated the date hereof (such note as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time together with any replacement thereof, the
“Note”), in the principal amount of $50,000.00 in favor of the Pledgee; and 
 
WHEREAS, the Pledgor has agreed to pledge the Pledged Securities (as defined below) and the Proceeds (as defined below) to the Pledgee to secure the Pledgor’s obligations under the Note,

 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 
1.    Grant of Security Interest in Collateral.  The Pledgor hereby grants to the Pledgee, as
security for all present and future obligations and liabilities of all kinds of the Pledgor to the Pledgee under the Note and this Agreement (collectively referred to as the “Obligations”), a first priority security interest in the
following described property (collectively referred to as the “Collateral”): 
 
(a)    Any and all fully paid and nonassessable shares of Pledgee capital stock issued by the Pledgee to the Pledgor, including, without limitation, shares of Pledgee common stock
issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options to purchase Pledgee common stock (the “Pledged Capital Stock”); and 
 
(b)    Any and all stock options issued by the Pledgor to the Pledgee to purchase shares of Pledgee common stock (the
“Pledged Options” and collectively with the Pledged Capital Stock, the “Pledged Securities”); and 
 
(c)    the certificates, option grants, and any other such documents representing the Pledged Securities and all of
the Pledgor’s rights and privileges with respect thereto; and 
 
(d)    the proceeds and accessions of the Pledged Shares (the “Proceeds”). 
 
2.    Pledgor’s Covenants. 
 
(a)    The Pledgor agrees (i) hereafter not to encumber or grant a security interest in
or a lien or other encumbrance on the Collateral, and (ii) not to dispose of any of the Collateral except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)    The Pledgor agrees: (i) at any time and from time to time, upon request of the Pledgee, to give, execute, file and/or record any notice, financing statement, continuation statement, instrument, document or
agreement that the Pledgee shall consider reasonably necessary or desirable to create, preserve, continue, perfect or validate any security interest granted hereunder or which the Pledgee may consider reasonably necessary or desirable to exercise or
enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such security interest; and (ii) to do other acts or things necessary to keep the Collateral and the Proceeds free and clear of all defenses, rights of offset and counterclaim. 
 
(c)    The Pledgor agrees to: (i) pay
promptly the Obligations secured hereby when due; and (ii) indemnify the Pledgee against all loss, claims, demands and liabilities of every kind arising from the Collateral and the transactions and other agreements and undertakings contemplated
hereby. 
 
3.    Payment of
Taxes, Charges, Liens and Assessments. The Pledgor agrees to pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, charges, liens and assessments against the Collateral and the Proceeds, and upon the failure of the Pledgor to do so, the Pledgee, at its option,
may pay any of them. Any such payments made by the Pledgee shall be obligations of the Pledgor to the Pledgee, due and payable immediately without demand and shall be secured by the Collateral and the Proceeds, subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. 
 
4.    Powers of Pledgee. The Pledgor appoints the Pledgee his true attorney in fact to perform any of the following powers, which are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until termination of this
Agreement and may be exercised from time to time by the Pledgee’s officers and employees, or any of them, whether or not the Pledgor is in default: (a) to perform any obligations of the Pledgor hereunder in the Pledgor’s name or otherwise;
(b) to give notice of Pledgee’s right under the Collateral to enforce the same; (c) to release security; (d) to resort to security; (e) to prepare, execute, file, record or deliver notes, assignments, schedules, designation statements,

Default, to endorse, collect, deliver and receive payment under instruments for the payment of money constituting or relating to the Collateral; (g) after an Event of Default, to preserve or release the interest evidenced by chattel paper to which
the Pledgee is entitled hereunder and to endorse and deliver evidences of title incidental thereto; (h) after an Event of Default, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which the Pledgor would have, but for this Agreement, under all Collateral
subject to this Agreement; and (i) to do all acts and things and execute all documents in the name of the Pledgor otherwise, deemed by the Pledgee as necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of
its rights hereunder. 
 
5.    Events of Default; Remedies. 
 
(a)    Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) hereunder: (i) the Pledgor’s failure to pay, within fifteen (15) days after the
date when such payment is due, any payment of principal or interest on the Note; or (ii) the Pledgor’s failure to observe or perform any covenant or agreement contained in the Note; and (iii) the 

 

5 

Pledgor’s violation of any of the transfer restrictions that may be contained in any restrictive legend contained in Pledgee securities

(b)    In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, the Note or by
law and including, without limitation, all rights and remedies of a secured party of a debtor in default under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the State of California) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the
Collateral. In addition to recourse against the Collateral as provided in this Agreement, the Pledgee shall be entitled to recourse against the Pledgor for the payment of any principal or interest on the Note or for any claim based thereon
(including costs of collection). 
 
6.    No Waiver. The failure of the Pledgee to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or the Note, or delay by the Pledgee in exercising same, will not operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by
the Pledgee will be effective unless and until it is in writing and signed by the Pledgee. No waiver of any condition or performance will operate as a waiver of any subsequent condition or obligation. The Pledgee shall have no obligation to resort
to the Collateral or any other security which, is or may become available to it. 
 
7.    Consents to Sales of Pledged Capital Stock. In the event that the value of the Pledged Capital Stock exceeds the value of the Obligations, and Pledgor desires to sell
some or all of that portion of the Pledged Capital Stock which exceeds the value of the Obligations, Pledgor will petition the Board of Directors of the Pledgee for its consent to permit such sale, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.

 
8.    Miscellaneous.

amendments or replacement hereof, and the legality, validity and performance of the terms hereof, shall be governed by and enforced and construed in accordance with die laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of laws and
principles thereof. 
 
(b)    This Agreement and the rights, powers and duties set forth herein shall be binding upon the Pledgor, its agents, representatives and successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Pledgee and its
successors and assigns and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by the Pledgee, the rights and privileges herein conferred upon the Pledgee shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to
the terms and conditions hereof. This Agreement and the rights and privileges herein conferred upon the Pledgee may be assigned by the Pledgee without the consent of the Pledgor. This Agreement may not be transferred or assigned by the Pledgor
without the written consent of the Pledgee. 
 
(c)    In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict
therewith and shall be modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law shall not effect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions hereof.

absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise and whether due or to become due)
of Majestic Refilter on the dates therein specified (except such debts,
liabilities, and obligations as are not required to be reflected therein in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) and includes
appropriate reserves for all taxes and other liabilities accrued or due at such
dates but not yet payable.

last two years thereof initialed by the chief executive officer of Majestic

franchises which are due and payable; and (iv) has delivered to ARSN and ARS
Products a true and correct copy so initialed of any report as to adjustments

years and a statement, so initialed, as to any litigation, governmental or
other proceeding (formal or informal), or investigation pending, threatened, or
in prospect with respect to any of those reports or the subject matter of those
reports.

(f)          Litigation and Claims.  There is no litigation, arbitration, claim,
governmental or other proceeding (formal or informal), or investigation
pending, threatened, or in prospect (or any basis therefor known to Majestic
Refilter or its stockholders) with respect to Majestic Refilter, its
stockholders, or any of their business, properties, or assets.  Majestic Refilter is not affected by any
present or threatened strike or other labor disturbance nor, to the knowledge

(a)  The corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or

action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor)
by reason of the fact that that person is or was an agent of the corporation,
against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with that proceeding if the person acted in
good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the conduct of that person was unlawful. The
termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or on
a plea of  nolo contenders or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a n-Lanner that the
person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation or
that the person had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful.

 

(b)  The corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or
completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in
its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the
corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with the defense or settlement of that action if that person acted in
good faith, in a manner the person believed to be in the best interests of the
corporation and its shareholders.  No indemnification shall be made for any
of the following:

   (1) Any claim, issue, or matter for which any person has been
adjudged liable to the corporation in the performance of that person's duty to
the corporation and its shareholders, unless and only to the extent that the
court where the proceeding was or is pending determines on application that, in
view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for expenses, and then only to the extent that the court
determines,

   (2) Amounts paid in settling or otherwise, disposing of a
threatened or pending action without court approval; or

   (3)  Expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending
action that is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.
