own account for investment only and not with a view to
distribution or resale of the Note or underlying securities.
Edge represents that it is an "accredited investor" as such
term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act. Edge understands
that the Note and the underlying securities are being issued
to Edge pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Act and, accordingly, must be held
indefinitely by Edge unless later transferred in
transactions that are either registered under the Act or
exempt from registration.
(ii) Edge represents and warrants to the Company that Edge has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of an investment in the Note and the underlying securities
and that Edge is able to incur a complete loss of Edge's
investment and to bear the risk of such a loss for an
indefinite period of time. Edge understands that the Note
and any securities acquired upon conversion are a risky and
speculative investment.
4. Financial Information. For so long as the obligations under the Note are
outstanding and for so long as Edge holds an equity interest in the Company, the
Company shall deliver to Edge within fifty (50) days of the end of each of the
Company's fiscal quarters and one hundred and five (105) days from the end of
the Company's fiscal year, the Company's balance sheet and income statement
("Financial Statements") for the most recent quarter or year as the case may be,
together with the related statements of income and cash flow, and an updated
Capitalization Schedule, which Financial Statements shall be prepared in
accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
consistently applied.
5. Security Interest.
(a) Grant. The Company hereby grants to Edge a security interest in the
Collateral (as such term is defined below). The security interest
shall constitute a first lien on the Collateral and shall secure the
Company's obligations (the "Secured Obligations") under the Note and
this Agreement and any other and/or future obligations of the Company
to Edge. Edge may sign and file financing statements in the name of
the Company, and, if Edge requests, the Company agrees to sign
financing statements from time to time and to take all other steps
reasonably necessary to enable Edge and its successors in interest to
perfect, or maintain perfection of, its security interest in the
Collateral. The Company shall pay all filing fees and tax stamps due
8
in connection with filing the financing statements. This Agreement or
a copy of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement
and may be filed as such. The "Collateral" shall mean the property
(but none of the Company's obligations or liabilities with respect
thereto) of the Company described in Exhibit A attached hereto and
made a part hereof:
(b) Termination. Upon payment by the Company of all principal and interest
on the Note or conversion of the Note in accordance with its terms,
Edge, on behalf of itself and each successor holder of the Note, shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do and perform such acts as
may be reasonably necessary to terminate its security interest in the
Collateral.
(c) Right to Realize Upon Collateral. Except to the extent prohibited by
applicable law that cannot be waived, this Section shall govern Edge's
(as defined in the Note) rights to realize upon the Collateral. The
provisions of this Section are in addition to any rights and remedies
available in law or equity. Upon any breach of the terms of the Note
by the Company, it is agreed that Edge shall have the right to take
any or all of the actions included in this Section at the same or
different times.
(i) Assembly of Collateral; Receiver. Edge may request that the
Company assemble the Collateral and otherwise make it available
to Edge and the Company and its officers and directors shall
comply with such request. Edge may have a receiver appointed for
all or any portion of the Company's assets or business which
constitutes the Collateral in order to manage, protect, preserve,
sell and otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the
Collateral.
(ii) Foreclosure Sale. All or any part of the Collateral may be sold
for cash or other value in any number of lots in any commercially
reasonable manner; provided, however that unless the Collateral
to be sold threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, Edge shall give the
Company 10 days prior written notice of the time and place of any
public sale, or the time after which a private sale may be made,
which notice each of the Company and Edge agrees to be
reasonable. At any sale or sales of Collateral, Edge or any of
its assigns may bid for and purchase all or any part of the
property and rights so sold and may use all or any portion of the
Secured Obligations owed to Edge as payment for the property or
rights so purchased, all without further accountability to the
Company, except for the proceeds of such sale or sales pursuant
to Section 4(c)(iii).
(iii) Application Proceeds. The proceeds of all sales and collections
in respect of any Collateral or other assets of the Company, all
funds collected from the Company and any cash contained in the
Collateral, the application of which is not otherwise
specifically provided for herein, shall be applied as follows:
9
A. First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such
sales and collections, the reasonable expenses of Edge and
the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel;
B. Second, any surplus then remaining to the payment of the
Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Edge may in
its reasonable discretion determine, subject, however, to
the rights of the holder of any then existing lien for which
Edge has received a proper demand for proceeds prior to
making such payment; and
C. Third, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the
Company, subject, however, to the rights of the holder of
any then existing lien for which Edge has received a proper
demand for proceeds prior to making such payment to the
Company.
(d) Custody of Collateral. Except as provided by applicable law that
cannot be waived, Edge will have no duty as to the custody and
protection of the Collateral, the collection of any part thereof or of
any income thereon or the preservation or exercise of any rights
pertaining thereto, including rights against prior parties, except for
the use of reasonable care in the custody and physical preservation of
any Collateral in its possession.
6. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants that from and after the
date hereof and for so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

indebtedness, other than trade debt incurred in the ordinary course of
business, without the approval of Edge.

conduct of its business and the ownership of its properties, including
without limitation, compliance with the reporting requirements of all
applicable securities Laws; provided that the Company shall not be
deemed to be in violation of this Section 6(c) as a result of any
10
failure to comply with any provisions of any such Laws, the
noncompliance with which would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or
have a materially adverse effect on the ability of the holder of any
Securities to sell such Securities.
(d) Limitation of Agreements. The Company will not, and will not permit
any Subsidiary to, enter into any Contract, or any amendment,
modification, extension or supplement to any existing Contract, which
contractually prohibits the Company from paying interest on, or
principal of, the Notes or effecting the conversion of the Notes.
(e) Preservation of Franchises and Existence. The Company will maintain
and cause each Subsidiary to maintain its corporate existence, rights
and franchises in full force and effect, provided that nothing in this
Section 6(e) shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from
discontinuing its operations in any particular state or at any
particular location or locations within the state, or prevent the
corporate existence, rights and franchises of any Subsidiary from
being terminated if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the
Company, the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.
(f) Payment of Taxes and Other Charges. The Company will pay or discharge,
and will cause each Subsidiary to pay or discharge, before the same
shall become delinquent, (i) all Taxes imposed upon it or any of its
properties or income, and (ii) all claims of material men, mechanics,
landlords and other like Persons which, in the case of either clause
(i) or clause (ii), if unpaid, might result in the creation of a
material lien upon any of its properties, provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid
or discharged any such Tax or claim whose amount, applicability or
validity is being contested in good faith pursuant to appropriate
proceedings.

evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any certificate representing shares of
Common Stock or a Note and in the case of loss, theft or destruction,
upon delivery of an indemnity satisfactory to the Company (which, in
the case of Edge, may be an undertaking by Edge to so indemnify the
Company and which, in the case of any Person other than Edge, shall be
delivery of an indemnity bond), or, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue a new share
certificate of like tenor for a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the number of shares of such stock represented by the certificate
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, or a new Note of like tenor in
an amount equal to the amount of such Note lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated.
11

Associates, except in the ordinary course and pursuant to the

the fullest extent permitted by law, provide for indemnification
of, advancement of expenses to, and limitation of the personal
liability of, the members of the Board of Directors of the
Company. Such provisions may not be amended, repealed or
otherwise modified in any manner adverse to any member of the

following the date that the Edge Designees are no longer members
of the Board of Directors of the Company.
(iii) The Edge Designees are intended to be third-party beneficiaries
of the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 6(n),

shall be enforceable by the Edger Designees.
(o) Merger, Etc. The Company will not merge with or into or consolidate

Person unless (i) the surviving entity shall have assumed in writing
all of the obligations of the Company under each of the documents that

7. Pre-emptive Rights. So long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall
not issue, sell or exchange or agree to issued, sell or exchange (collectively
"Issue," and any issuance, sale or exchange resulting therefrom, an "Issuance")
any share of Capital Stock or any securities convertible into the company's
Capital Stock (collectively "Securities") (other than securities issued by the
Company in an underwritten Initial Public Offering), except as authorized by the
Board of Directors and in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) The Company shall deliver to Edge a written notice (a "Pre-emptive
Notice"), which shall (i) state the Company's intention to Issue
Securities to one or more Persons, the amount and type of Securities
to be Issued (the "Securities Issuance"), the purchase price
("Purchase Price") therefor and a summary of the other material terms
of the proposed Issuance and (ii) offer Edge the option to acquire all
or any part of the Securities Issuance (the "Pre-emptive Offer"). The
Pre-emptive Offer shall remain open and irrevocable for the periods
set forth below (and, to the extent the Pre-emptive Offer is accepted
during such periods, until the consummation of the Issuance
contemplated by the Pre-emptive Offer). Edge shall have the right and
option, for a period of 15 business days after delivery of the
Pre-emptive Notice (the "Pre-emptive Acceptance Period"), to accept
all or any part of the Securities Issuance at the purchase price and
on the terms stated in the Pre-emptive Notice. Such acceptance shall
be made by delivering a written notice to the Company by Edge within
the Pre-emptive Acceptance Period specifying the maximum number of
shares of the Securities Issuance Edge will purchase (the "Accepted
Securities").
(b) If effective acceptance shall not be received pursuant to Section 7(a)
above with respect to all of the Securities Issuance offered for sale
pursuant to the Pre-emptive Notice, then the Company may Issue all or
any portion of such Securities so offered for sale and not so
accepted, at a price not less than the Purchase Price, and on terms
not more favorable to the purchaser thereof than the terms, stated in
the Pre-emptive Notice at any time within 90 days after the expiration
of the Pre-emptive Acceptance Period (the "Issuance Period"). In the
event that all of the Securities Issuance is not Issued by the Company
during the Issuance Period, the right of the Company to Issue such
unsold Securities Issuance shall expire and the obligations of this
Section 7 shall be reinstated.
(c) All sales of Securities Issuance to Edge subject to any Pre-emptive
Notice shall be consummated contemporaneously at the offices of the
Company on a mutually satisfactory business day within 5 days after
14
the expiration of the Pre-emptive Acceptance Period. The delivery of
certificates or other instruments evidencing such Securities Issuance
shall be made by the Company on such date against payment of the
Purchase Price for such Securities Issuance.
(d) The provision of this Section 7 shall terminate at such time Edge is
no longer the owner of the Notes or three years after the date hereof,
whichever is earlier.
