Each
Chargor as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Liabilities

notice

 

Burdale
may by notice to any Chargor convert the floating charge created by this Deed
into a fixed charge in relation to all or any of such Chargor’s assets
specified in the notice if:

 

3.2.1                                                    Burdale has reasonable grounds

or

reason to believe that steps have been taken which would, in the reasonable
opinion of Burdale, be likely to lead to the presentation of a petition to
appoint an administrator in relation to such Chargor (or that such a petition
has been presented or such an administrator has been appointed) or to wind up
such Chargor (or that such a petition has been presented).

 

3.3                                          No waiver

 

The
giving by Burdale of a notice pursuant to clause

not be construed as a waiver or abandonment of Burdale’s rights to give other
similar notices in respect of any other class of assets.

Shares

 

5.4.1                                                    Each Chargor shall forthwith
deposit with Burdale or as Burdale may direct all bearer instruments, share
certificates and other documents of title or evidence of ownership in relation

otherwise to obtain a legal title to the same and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, shall deliver to Burdale on today’s date executed
(and, if required to be stamped, pre-stamped) share transfers for all Group
Shares in favour of Burdale and/or its nominee(s) as transferees or, if Burdale
so directs, with the transferee left blank and shall procure that all such
share transfers are at the request of Burdale forthwith registered by the
relevant company and that share certificates in the name of Burdale and/or such
nominee(s) in respect of all Group Shares are forthwith delivered to Burdale.

 

5.4.2                                                    Each Chargor shall provide

avoidance of an Event of Default or necessary for the protection of its
material interests exercise or refrain from exercising (in the name of each
Chargor, the registered holder or otherwise and without any further consent or
authority from each Chargor and irrespective of any direction given by any
Chargor) in respect of the Security Shares any voting rights and any powers or
rights under the terms of the Security Shares or otherwise which may be
exercised by the person or persons in whose name or names the Security Shares
are registered or who is the holder thereof, including, without limitation, all
the powers given to trustees by section 10(3) and (4) of the Trustee Act
1925 as amended by section 9 of the Trustee Investments Act 1961 in
respect of securities or property subject to a trust provided that in the absence
of notice from Burdale each Chargor may and shall continue to exercise any and
all voting rights with respect to the Group Shares subject always to the terms
of this Deed.  No Chargor shall without
the previous consent in writing of Burdale exercise the voting rights attached
to any of the Group Shares in favour of resolutions having the effect of
changing the terms of the Group Shares (or any class of them) or any Related
Rights or prejudicing the security under this Deed or impairing the value of the

continuance of this security will make all payments which may become due in
respect of any of the Security Shares and, in the event of default in making
any such payment, Burdale may if it thinks fit make such payment on behalf of
each Chargor.  Any sums so paid by
Burdale shall be repayable by the relevant Chargor to Burdale on demand and
pending such repayment shall constitute part of the Secured Liabilities.

5.4.5                                                    It is expressly agreed that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed, each Chargor
shall remain liable to observe and perform all of the conditions and
obligations assumed by it in respect of the Security Shares and Burdale shall
not be under any obligation or liability by reason of or arising out of the
security over the Security Shares conferred by this Deed.  Burdale shall not be required in any manner
to perform or fulfil any obligation of any Chargor in respect of the Security
Shares, or to make any payment, or to receive any enquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by them, or to present or file any claim or
take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amount to which
they may have been or to which they may be entitled under this Deed at any time
or times.

 

5.4.6                                                    Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default and at any time thereafter while the same is continuing
Burdale shall be entitled to put into force and exercise immediately as and
when it may see fit any and every power possessed by Burdale by virtue of the
security over the Security Shares conferred by this Deed or available to a
secured creditor (so that sections 93 and 103 of the Law of Property Act 1925
shall not apply to this security) and in particular (without limitation):

 

(a)                       to sell all or any of the Security Shares in any
manner permitted by law upon such terms as Burdale shall in its absolute
discretion determine;

 

(b)                      to collect, recover or compromise and give a good
discharge for any monies payable to any Chargor in respect of the Security
Shares or in connection therewith; and

 

(c)                       to act generally in relation to the Security Shares in
such manner as Burdale acting reasonably shall determine.

 

5.4.7                                                    For the avoidance of doubt,
each Chargor agrees that the enforceability of the security over the Security
Shares conferred by this Deed is not dependent on the performance or
non-performance by Burdale of its obligations under any agreement with any
Chargor.

 

5.4.8                                                    Immediately on conversion of
any of the Group Shares from certificated to uncertificated form, and on the
creation or conversion of any other securities which are for the time being
comprised in the Security Shares in or into uncertificated form, each Chargor
shall give such instructions or directions as Burdale may require in order to
protect or preserve its security.

 

5.4.9                                                    Each Chargor shall,
immediately upon receipt of any certificate or other document evidencing any
entitlement to further Security Shares, deposit it with Burdale together with
such share transfer forms in blank and other documents as Burdale may require.

 

5.4.10                                              This clause 5 shall not apply
to the shares in Viewsonic Limited for so long as that company conducts no
business and has no assets.

 

5.5                                          Opening of
Accounts and Collection of Receivables

 

5.5.1                                                    Forthwith upon the execution
of this Deed, each Facility Company shall open the relevant Blocked Accounts,
and the Chargors shall maintain the Other Accounts and execute all deeds and
documents and do all other acts and things required by Burdale in connection
with them and the Chargors shall maintain such accounts until the security
constituted by this Deed has been discharged.

 

16

 

5.5.2                                                    Forthwith upon the execution
of this Deed, each Facility Company shall serve notice upon the bank at which
each Blocked Account is opened (in respect of the relevant Blocked Accounts) in
substantially the form set out in part
I of Schedule 3 and the
Chargors shall serve notice upon each bank at which any Other Account is held
(in respect of the relevant Other Accounts) in substantially the form set out
in part II of Schedule 3, and shall procure the
relevant bank returns the acknowledgement in substantially the form set out in
the relevant part of Schedule 3
or such other form acceptable to Burdale in its absolute discretion.

 

5.5.3                                                    Until the security constituted
by this Deed is discharged, no Chargor shall maintain any bank accounts which
are not Charged Accounts.

 

5.6                                          Operation of
Blocked Account

 

5.6.1                                                    Until the security constituted
by this Deed is discharged, no Facility Company shall be entitled to withdraw
the whole or any part of any amount standing to the credit of any Blocked
Account and shall not, subject to sub-clause
5.6.2 below, take any action, claim or proceedings against Burdale or any other
party for the return or payment to any person of the whole or any part of any
amount standing to the credit of any Blocked Account.

 

5.6.2                                                    Each Facility Company agrees
that until the security constituted by this Deed is discharged, Burdale shall
be able to withdraw on a daily basis all deposits made into any Blocked Account
provided that the amount so withdrawn is applied towards the Secured
Liabilities in accordance with clause 7 of the Facility Agreement and each
Facility Company shall direct the relevant bank(s) to transfer the cleared
balance of such Facility Company’s Blocked Accounts to such account as Burdale
shall specify for the purpose from time to time at the end of each Business Day.

 

5.7                                          Operation of
Other Accounts

 

Until
notified by Burdale in writing to the contrary, the Chargors shall be entitled
to operate the Other Accounts provided that:

 

5.7.1                                                    the Other Accounts each retain
a credit or zero balance at all times;

 

5.7.2                                                    the Chargors shall not and
shall procure that no other person shall deposit or transfer any monies (i) in
excess of US$100,000 per annum or its equivalent in the applicable local
currency into the Local Accounts or (ii) into Other Accounts other than the
Local Accounts; and

 

5.7.3                                                    the Chargors shall not at any
time transfer the whole or any part of the amounts standing to the credit of
any Other Account to any other bank account other than to another Charged
Account or in the ordinary course of business to the extent permitted under the
Finance Documents.

 

5.8                                          Intellectual
Property

 

5.8.1                                                    Without prejudice to clause 13, each Chargor shall at its own
expense promptly execute any document and do all assurances acts and things as
Burdale may require to procure that the security created by this Deed is
recorded as soon as possible by Burdale in each register in each jurisdiction
in which any Specified Intellectual Property is registered.

 

17

 

5.8.2                                                    Without prejudice to clause 13 if after the date of this Deed,
any Chargor:

 

(a)                       proposes to apply to register any Specified
Intellectual Property in any register in which it is not already identified as
being registered in; or

 

(b)                      proposes to apply to register any Intellectual
Property right not existing on the date of this Deed, such Chargor shall notify
Burdale and, if Burdale so requires and promptly notifies the Chargor, such
Chargor shall ensure that application is made for the security created by this
Deed to be recorded, and that any such security is recorded, at the same time
as the application or registration (as the case may be) of such Intellectual
Property.

 

5.8.3                                                    Each Chargor will make such
registrations and pay such fees, renewal fees, registration taxes and similar
amounts as are necessary to keep the Specified Intellectual Property in force.

 

5.8.4                                                    Each Chargor will take such
steps as are necessary (including the institution of legal proceedings) to
police its Specified Intellectual Property in any territories which are
material to its business to ensure proper use of them and to prevent third
parties infringing them and, take such other steps as are reasonably
practicable to maintain and preserve its interests in its Specified
Intellectual Property including applying to register any interests therein in
any relevant register.

 

5.8.5                                                    Each Chargor will promptly
notify Burdale in writing upon becoming aware of any circumstances which would
make any of the representations in clause
4.8 inaccurate or misleading in any material respect if those representations
were then to be repeated.

 

5.8.6                                                    No Chargor will do anything
nor use the Specified Intellectual Property in any way which could reasonably
be expected to have an adverse effect or which could devalue any such Specified
Intellectual Property.

 

5.8.7                                                    No Chargor will, without the
prior written consent of Burdale:

 

(a)                       sell, transfer, license or otherwise dispose of any
Intellectual Property; nor

 

(b)                      permit any Specified Intellectual Property which is
registered or subject to an application for registration to be abandoned or
cancelled, to lapse or to be liable to any claim for abandonment for non-use or
otherwise.

 

5.9                                          Equipment

 

5.9.1                                                    Forthwith after the date of
this Deed, each Chargor shall attach to a visible part of each item of
Specified Equipment owned by it and with a value in excess of twenty thousand
pounds (£20,000) (as determined in accordance with the Equipment Valuation) in
a permanent manner a clear and distinctive label, no smaller than three inches
by four inches in size comprising the following notice: “This piece of
Equipment is subject to a first legal mortgage in favour of Burdale Financial
Limited (“Burdale”) and may not be removed or sold without the prior written
consent of Burdale”.

 

5.9.2                                                    Each Chargor shall keep its
Equipment in good repair, working order and condition and fit for its purpose
and shall not permit the same to be handled other than by persons properly
qualified and trained or to be overloaded or to be used for any purpose for which
the Equipment is not designed or reasonably suitable.

 

18

 

5.9.3                                                    No Chargor will, without the
prior written consent of Burdale, make any modification or permit any
modification to be made to the Equipment if the effect of such modification may
be to reduce the value of the Equipment.

 

5.9.4                                                    Each Chargor will promptly pay
all taxes, fees, licence duties, registration charges, insurance premiums and
other outgoings in respect of the Premises and the Equipment and on demand
produce evidence of such payment to Burdale.

 

5.9.5                                                    Each Chargor will obtain all
authorisations from  time to time
required for the use and operation of the Equipment and not to do or permit to
be done any act or omission whereby the Equipment or the use of it would
contravene regulations for the time being in force.

 

5.9.6                                                    Each Chargor will forthwith
notify Burdale of any loss, theft, damage or destruction to any Equipment with
a value in excess of £20,000.

 

5.9.7                                                    Each Chargor will give Burdale
such information concerning the location, condition, use and operation of the
Equipment as the Burdale may require and to permit any persons designated by
Burdale at all reasonable times to inspect and examine the Equipment and the
records maintained in connection with it.

 

5.9.8                                                    Each Chargor will ensure that
the Premises are suitable for the use or storage of the Equipment, and will
keep the Equipment at the Premises.

 

5.9.9                                                    Each Chargor will procure in
favour of Burdale from any person with a proprietary interest or encumbrance
(including any owner, leaseholder or chargee) in any real or personal property
to which the Equipment might become affixed, or with which title to the
Equipment might merge, an acknowledgement prior to such fixing or merger that their
rights and remedies will only be exercised subject to Burdale’s rights in the
Equipment and, in particular, but without limitation to the generality of the
foregoing, the right of Burdale, its servants or agents to enter upon any such
property to remove the Equipment notwithstanding that it might be affixed to,
or have merged with, any real or personal property.

 

6.                            WHEN SECURITY BECOMES ENFORCEABLE

 

The
security constituted by this Deed shall become immediately enforceable and the
power of sale and other powers conferred by section 101 of the Law of
Property Act 1925, as varied or amended by this Deed, shall be immediately
exercisable upon and at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default
and whilst the same is continuing after which Burdale may in its absolute
discretion enforce all or any part of the security in any manner it sees fit.

 

7.                            ENFORCEMENT
OF SECURITY

 

7.1                                          General

 

7.1.1                                                    For the purposes of all powers
implied by statute, the Secured Liabilities are deemed to have become due on the
date of this Deed.

 

19

 

7.1.2                                                    Section 103 of the Law of
Property Act (restricting the power of sale) and section 93 of the Law of
Property Act 1925 (restricting the right of consolidation) do not apply to the
security constituted by this Deed.

 

7.1.3                                                    The statutory powers of
leasing conferred on Burdale are extended so that, without the need to comply
with any provision of section 99 or 100 of the Law of Property Act 1925,
Burdale is empowered to lease, make agreements for leases, accept surrenders of
leases and grant options as Burdale may think fit.

 

7.2                                          Agent of the
Chargors

 

For all
purposes each Receiver is deemed to be in the same position as a Receiver duly
appointed by a mortgagee under the Law of Property Act 1925. Every Receiver
shall be the agent of the Chargor in respect of which he was appointed unless
and until a liquidator shall be appointed of that Chargor, whereafter such
Receiver shall act as principal but shall not become the agent of Burdale. That
Chargor alone shall be responsible for the receiver’s contracts, engagements,
commissions, omissions, defaults and losses and for liabilities incurred by
him.  Burdale shall not incur any
liability of whatsoever nature (either to the Chargors or to any other person)
by reason of Burdale making his appointment as a Receiver or for any other
reason.

 

7.3                                          Contingencies

 

If
Burdale enforces the security constituted by this Deed at a time when no
amounts are due to Burdale under the Finance Documents but at a time when
amounts may or will become so due, Burdale (or the Receiver) may pay the
proceeds of any recoveries effected by it into a Blocked Account (in the case
of a Facility Company) or an Other Account (in the case of any other Chargor).

 

7.4                                          Mortgagee in
Possession - No Liability

 

Neither
Burdale nor any Receiver or Manager will be liable, by reason of entering into
possession of a Security Asset, to account as mortgagee in possession or for
any loss on realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee in
possession might otherwise be liable.

 

7.5                                          Privileges

 

Each
Receiver and Burdale is entitled to all the rights, powers, privileges and
immunities conferred by the Law of Property Act 1925 on mortgagees and
receivers when such receivers have been duly appointed under that Act, except
that section 103 of that Act does not apply.

 

7.6                                          Protection of
third parties

 

No
person (including a purchaser) dealing with Burdale or a Receiver or its or his
agents need enquire:

 

7.6.1                                                    whether the Secured
Liabilities have become payable; or

 

7.6.2                                                    whether any power purported to
be exercised has become exercisable; or

 

20

 

7.6.3                                                    whether any money remains due;
or

 

7.6.4                                                    how any money paid to Burdale
or to the Receiver is to be applied.

 

7.7                                          Redemption of
prior Mortgages

 

At any
time after the security constituted by this Deed has become enforceable,
Burdale or any Receiver may, in the case of Burdale at the sole cost of the
Chargors (payable to Burdale on demand) and in the case of a Receiver as an
expense of the Receiver’s receivership:

 

7.7.1                                                    redeem any interest by way of
security for the time being and from time to time ranking in point of security
in priority to any of the security constituted by this Deed; and/or

 

7.7.2                                                    (in the case of a redemption
by Burdale) procure the transfer of that interest by way of security to itself;
and/or

 

7.7.3                                                    settle and pass the accounts
of any prior mortgagee, chargee or encumbrancer which once so settled and
passed shall be conclusive and binding on the Chargors.

 

8.                            RECEIVER

 

8.1                                          Appointment
of Receiver

 

In the
circumstances described in sub-clause
3.2.1 or at any time after the security constituted by this Deed becomes
enforceable, or, at any time if so requested by any Chargor in writing, Burdale
may (but shall not be obliged) without further notice (and whether or not the
relevant Chargor shall have been accorded sufficient or any time in which to
satisfy any relevant indebtedness) from time to time, and notwithstanding that,
if such be the case, one or more than one Receiver shall have been appointed in
respect of all or any of the Security Assets pursuant to this clause and not
removed from such Security Assets, appoint in writing, under the hand of any
manager of Burdale, a Receiver of the Security Assets or any of them and, where
so requested by a Chargor, whether or not those Security Assets shall belong to
that Chargor, but, in the circumstances described in sub-clause 3.2.1, only over the Security Assets
specified in the notice referred to in that clause.  Burdale may not exercise the rights conferred pursuant to this clause 8.1 to the extent to which exercise
would be inconsistent with any relevant statutory or regulatory provision.

 

8.2                                          Relationship
with Burdale

 

To the
fullest extent permitted by law, any right, power or discretion conferred by
this Deed (be it express or implied) upon a Receiver of any Security Assets
may, after the security created by this Deed has become enforceable, be
exercised by Burdale in relation to any Security Asset either:

 

8.2.1                                                    without first appointing a
Receiver; or

 

8.2.2                                                    notwithstanding the
appointment of a Receiver.

 

21

 

8.3                                          Removal

 

Burdale
may by writing under its hand (subject to section 45 of the Insolvency Act
1986 (any requirement for an order of the court in the case of an
administrative receiver)):

 

8.3.1                                                    remove any Receiver appointed
by it; and

 

8.3.2                                                    whenever it deems it necessary
or desirable, appoint a new Receiver in the place of any Receiver whose
appointment may for any reason have terminated.

 

8.4                                          Remuneration

 

Burdale
may, from time to time, fix the remuneration of any Receiver and direct payment
of the same out of monies accruing to him in the exercise of his powers,
authorities and discretions by or pursuant to this Deed, but the Chargor in
respect of which any Receiver shall have been appointed shall alone be liable
for the payment of that remuneration.

 

9.                            POWERS OF
RECEIVER

 

9.1                                          General

 

9.1.1                                                    In addition to those conferred
by the Law of Property Act 1925 on any receiver appointed under that Act, each
Receiver has, and is entitled to exercise, all of the rights, powers and
discretions set out in this Deed. The powers, authorities and discretions
conferred by or pursuant to this Deed in relation to the Security Assets on
Burdale or any Receiver shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for,
the powers conferred on mortgagees or receivers under the Law of Property Act
1925, and, where there is any ambiguity or conflict between the powers,
authorities and discretions contained in that Act and those conferred by or
pursuant to this Deed, the terms of this Deed shall prevail.

 

9.1.2                                                    If there is more than one
Receiver holding office at the same time, unless the document appointing him
states otherwise, each Receiver may exercise all of the powers conferred on a
Receiver under this Deed individually and to the exclusion of any other
Receivers.

 

9.1.3                                                    A Receiver who is an

13.                     FURTHER
ASSURANCES

Each
Chargor shall, at its own expense, execute and do all such acts, deeds and
things (including, without limitation, payment of all stamp duties and
registration fees) Burdale or a Receiver may reasonably require for:

 

13.1.1                                              perfecting or better
perfecting or protecting or better protecting the security intended to be

limitation, the execution of any transfer, conveyance, assignment or assurance

notice, order or direction and the making of any registration, which in any
such case, Burdale may think necessary or desirable.

ensure that each company which becomes a Subsidiary (whether direct or
indirect) of any Chargor after today’s date shall, promptly upon being required
to do so by Burdale, execute a Deed of Accession in substantially the form set
out in Schedule 6 and such
company shall on the date which such Deed of Accession is

 

26

 

executed by it become a party to this Deed in the
capacity of a Chargor and this Deed shall be read and construed for all
purposes as if such company had been an original party to this Deed as a
Chargor (but for the avoidance of doubt the security created by such company
shall be created on the date of the Deed of Accession).

 

13.2.2                                              Burdale may specify any
amendments or changes to the form or manner in which any such new Chargor gives
such security (including an acceptance of a limit on the liability of such new
Chargor) which in the opinion of Burdale is necessary in order that such
security may lawfully be given.

 

13.2.3                                              The Company shall procure that
all registrations or other steps necessary to perfect any security created by a
Deed of Accession are completed as soon as is practicable after its execution
and in any event within any applicable time limit.

Company) by its execution of this Deed or any Deed of Accession, irrevocably
appoints the Company to execute on its behalf any Deed of Accession without
further reference to or the consent of such Chargor and such Chargor shall be
bound by any such Deed of Accession as if it had itself executed such Deed of
Accession.

 

14.                     POWER OF
ATTORNEY

 

Each
Chargor, by way of security, irrevocably and severally appoints Burdale, each
Receiver and any of their delegates or sub delegates to be its attorney and on
its behalf and in its name or otherwise to execute and do all such acts, deeds
and things which such Chargor is obliged to take under this Deed and generally,
on its behalf and in its name, to exercise all or any of the powers,
authorities and discretions conferred by or pursuant to this Deed on Burdale or
any Receiver.  Each Chargor hereby
ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm whatever any attorney

If any
payment by a Chargor or any discharge given by Burdale (whether in respect of
the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or
otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar
event:

 

15.3.1                                              the liability of each Chargor
shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not
occurred; and

 

15.3.2                                              Burdale shall be entitled to
recover the value or amount of that security or payment from each Chargor, as

or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

 

15.6                                    Appropriations

terms to be entered on the Register of Title relating to any property
registered at HM Land Registry in its name and against which this Deed may be
noted:

 

“Except
under an order of the Registrar, no disposition or dealing by the proprietor of

constructive, of any subsequent charge or other interest affecting any Security
Asset and/or the proceeds of sale of any Security Asset, Burdale may open a new
account for any Chargor.  If Burdale
does not open a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done
so at the time when it received or was deemed to have received notice.  As from that time all payments made to
Burdale will be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new
account and will not operate to reduce any amount for which this Deed is
security and, furthermore, Burdale shall be under no obligation to advance any
monies or provide or continue to provide any credit facility to any Facility

separate Deed relating to such Chargor to the intent that if any Security
Interest created by any other Chargor in this Deed shall be invalid or liable
to be set aside for any reason, this shall not affect any Security Interest
created under this Deed by such first Chargor.

 

16.6                                    Invalidity

 

If, at
any time, any provision of this Deed is or becomes invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

 

DATE JUNE 24, 2004

 

PARTIES

 

(1)                        BURDALE FINANCIAL LIMITED of
53 Queen Anne Street, London, W1G 9HP (the “Pledgee”); and

 

(2)                        VIEWSONIC EUROPE LIMITED
(Company registration No. 03131161), a company organised and existing under the
laws of England (the “Pledgor”).

 

RECITALS

 

(A)                    The Pledgor has entered into
an agreement dated 24 June 2004 (the “Credit
Agreement”) under the terms of which the Pledgee has agreed to make
available to the Pledgor a facility of up to twenty million US dollars
(US$20,000,000).

 

(B)                      The Pledgor has agreed to
execute this Pledge Agreement by way of security for its obligations under the
Credit Agreement.

 

(C)                      This Pledge Agreement relates
to all of the Pledgor’s present and future inventory/trading stock and other
moveable assets located in the Netherlands, including computer monitors and all
other inventory (together, the “Goods”).

 

(D)                     With respect to any Goods,
from time to time stored in each of the Warehouses  (as defined below), Pledgor and Pledgee will enter into a third
party pledgeholder agreement with Furness Logistics Moerdijk B.V. (the “Third Party”)
thus converting the non-possessory right of pledge created under this Agreement
into a possessory right of pledge.

 

IT IS AGREED AS
FOLLOWS:

 

1.                            DEFINITION

 

1.1                                          In this pledge agreement the term “Warehouses”
means the warehouses, operated by Furness Logistics Moerdijk B.V., a private
limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid),
incorporated and existing under the laws of the Netherlands and having its
registered seat at Moerdijk, located at:

 

(i)   Tradeboulevard 4, Havennummer 528, 4761 RL
Moerdijk; and

 

(ii)  other premises of the Third Party located
at  Moerdijk

 

1

 

2.                            AGREEMENT TO PLEDGE

 

2.1                                          The Pledgor and the Pledgee hereby agree,
in order to secure to the Pledgee the prompt payment in full of the Secured
Obligations (as defined below), that the Pledgor will create a first ranking
non-possessory right of pledge on the Goods in the manner set forth in Clause
2.

 

2.2                                          If and to the extent at any time it shall
appear that any right of pledge created hereby or pursuant hereto shall not
have the ranking as referred to above, the Pledgor and the Pledgee confirm, and
- to the extent necessary - hereby further agree, that a valid right of pledge
has or shall nevertheless have been created. In that case the right of pledge
shall have the highest possible rank.

 

3.                            RIGHT OF NON-POSSESSORY PLEDGE

 

3.1                                          As a further security for the due and
punctual payment of the amounts owing pursuant to the Credit Agreement (the “Secured Obligations”) , the Pledgor hereby
grants a first ranking non-possessory right of pledge (bezitloos pandrecht eerste in rang)
or, as the case may be, the Pledgor grants in advance a first ranking
non-possessory right of pledge (bezitloos pandrecht eerste in rang) on the
Goods to the Pledgee and the Pledgee hereby accepts such right of pledge. With
respect to any Goods located at the Warehouses (the “Warehouse Goods”) this
non-possessory right of pledge shall be converted into a possessory right of
pledge in the manner provided for in Clause 3.

 

3.2                                          The pledge is vested, at the option of the
Pledgee, by way of registering this deed or by way of notarial deed. The
Pledgee is authorised to register this deed. The Pledgor grants the Pledgee an
irrevocable power of attorney tovest the pledge by way of notarial deed, even
if the deed has been registered, in which case the Pledgee is authorised to
represent the Pledgor.

 

4.                            POSSESSORY  PLEDGE

 

4.1                                          The right of pledge on the Warehouse Goods
shall be converted into a first ranking possessory right of pledge by bringing
the Warehouse Goods in the control (feitelijke macht) of the Third Party. This
will be done:

 

4.1.1                                                    With respect to the Goods that
are present in the Warehouses at the time of execution of the Third Party
Pledgeholder Agreement by the Third Party, by the agreement of the Third Party
to hold such Warehouse Goods pursuant to the Third Party Pledgeholder Agreement
as a third party within the meaning of article 3:236 paragraph 1 of the
Dutch Civil Code; and

 

4.1.2                                                    With respect to any Goods
which arrive at the Warehouses after the execution of the Third Party
Pledgeholder Agreement by the Third Party, by the acceptance by the Third Party
of such Warehouse Goods into its custody pursuant to the Third Party
Pledgeholder Agreement as a third party within the meaning of
article 3:236 paragraph 1 of the Dutch Civil Code.

 

2

 

4.2                                          The first ranking possessory right of pledge
on the Warehouse Goods shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and, upon the execution by the parties thereto, the Third Party
Pledgeholder Agreement. In case of any inconsistency between this agreement and
the Third Party Pledgeholder Agreement, the terms of the former shall prevail.

 

4.3                                          For the avoidance of doubt,  if and to the extent the Third Party
Pledgeholder Agreement and the mechanisms set out in this Agreement fail to
create a valid possessory right of pledge on behalf of the Pledgee, the Goods
located at the Warehouses will still be and stay subject to the non-possessory
right of pledge created pursuant to this Agreement.

 

5.                            DELIVERY OF GOODS TO WAREHOUSES

 

5.1                                          The Pledgor undertakes to procure delivery
of any and all Goods, destined to be destributed in or from the Netherlands to
any of the Warehouses, listed in clause 1.1.

 

6.                            WARRANTIES

 

6.1                                          The Pledgor represents and warrants, to and

6.1.1                                                    that it has the full ownership
of and legal title to the present Goods;

 

6.1.2                                                    that it has the full power and
authority (is
volledig beschikkingsbevoegd) to pledge the present Goods;

 

6.1.3                                                    that the present Goods are not

parties; and

 

6.1.4                                                    that there are no rights of
retention on or against the Goods (other than those notified to the Pledgee in
accordance with the Credit Agreement).

 

6.2                                          The Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees
that the representations and warranties set forth in Subclause 6.1 shall be
deemed made by it with respect to each of the future Goods in each instance,
and upon the moment, when the Pledgor becomes the owner of such Goods.

 

6.3                                          The Pledgor further declares that it has
not previously or in advance transferred or created limited property rights on
or against the Goods, either in whole or in part, to or in favour of any third
parties.

7.1                                          The Pledgor shall ensure in so far as
possible that, upon its acquisition of any of the Goods, the transferor of such
Goods shall not reserve title to any of the Goods or any limited property
rights in respect of any of the Goods. 
The Pledgor shall notify the Pledgee of any reservation of title
affecting the Goods in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

 

7.2                                          If and to the extent that the acquisition
by the Pledgor of the full and unencumbered ownership of any of the Goods is
subject to the Pledgor (further) performing any act or

Pledgor shall take good care of the Goods and must take all measures necessary
or desired by the Pledgee. The Pledgor may not perform or neglect to perform
any acts which may prejudice the interests of the Pledgee. If the Pledgor is in
default with respect to any of these obligations, the Pledgee may, at the
expense of the Pledgor, do all that it deems necessary, without prejudice to any
of the Pledgee’s other rights.

 

9.                            SPECIFICATION

 

9.1                                          The Pledgor shall, upon first request

including events when another person seeks possession of any of the Goods,

this Agreement, any other security for the Obligations or otherwise) is made in
whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment,
security or other disposition which is subsequently avoided or must be restored
on bankruptcy, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the liability of
the Pledgor under this Agreement and the security interests hereby created

or of the obligations of any other person or any present or future law or order
of any government or authority (whether of right or in fact) purporting to
reduce or otherwise affect any of such obligations to the intent that the

renewal or release of or refusal or neglect to perfect or enforce any rights,
remedies or securities against or granted by the Pledgor or any other person.
