and transfer the TradeArk Interest immediately upon the execution of this
Pledge, and deliver to the escrow agent named in the Modified Note, free and
clear of all liens and encumbrances and assigned to Pledgee. Pledgee shall be

(herein called "Event of Default") shall occur and be continuing:
(a) If the Pledgor defaults in the payment of any installment of
the Note when the same shall have become due, either by the terms thereof, or
otherwise, as herein provided and such default continues beyond any grace period

the Pledged TradeArk Interest, shall occur in Palm Beach County, Florida.
5. Notice of Default. The Pledgee shall deliver to Pledgor promptly
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a written notice thereof,
specifying the nature thereof but failure to promptly deliver such notice shall
not constitute a waiver of any rights of Pledgee under this Agreement. A written
notice from Pledgee to any nominee that an Event of Default exists shall be
sufficient evidence of that fact to such nominee.
6. Sale of Pledged TradeArk Interest by Pledgee. Any sale, as
provided herein, of the TradeArk Interest by Pledgee, or its nominee, may be
adjourned from time to time, if a public sale, by announcement at the time and
place appointed for any such sale, and without further notice, such sale may be
made at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned, unless
otherwise provided by law. At such sale, Pledgee, or its nominee, shall be under
no duty to sell all of the Pledged TradeArk Interest on the date fixed in the
notice, but beginning on such date, Pledgee, or its nominee, may sell the same
from day to day until all, or a portion thereof, have been sold to pay all
amounts secured by this Pledge. At any such sale, Pledgee, or any of its
employees or assigns, as the case may be or its nominee, may become the
purchaser of the whole, or any part, of the Pledged TradeArk Interest, free from
any trust, claim, right or equity of redemption of the Pledgor, which are
expressly waived and released. In case of any sale on credit, or for future
delivery, the Pledged TradeArk Interest sold may be retained by the Pledgee, or
its nominee, until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but neither the
Pledgee, nor its nominee, shall incur any liability in case of failure of the
purchaser to take up and pay for the Pledged TradeArk Interest so sold. Upon the
sale of any TradeArk Interest hereunder, after deducting all costs and expenses
of collection, Pledgee, or its nominee, shall apply the residue of the proceeds
of the sale, or sales, so made first to the payment of any sums Pledgee may pay,

or incur, in enforcing its rights under the Note and/or this Pledge, and second
to the payment of any sums the Pledgor may be, or become liable to pay under any
of those instruments, and shall pay the excess, if any, to the Pledgor. No
purchaser at such sale, or sales, except the Pledgee, or its nominee, shall be
responsible for the application of the purchase money.
7. Waiver. The Pledgor agrees that neither the Pledgee, nor its
nominee, shall be held liable for loss or damage resulting from acts or events
beyond the reasonable control of the Pledgee, or its nominee, and acts of the
Pledgee taken in good faith. In taking, or refraining from taking action
required, or permitted, hereunder, such nominee shall follow the direction of
Pledgee, if given, and Pledgor agrees that such nominee shall not be liable for
any action or omission taken hereunder in good faith pursuant to instructions
from Pledgee.
8. Release of Pledged TradeArk Interest. The Pledgee shall release
the Pledged TradeArk Interest to the Pledgor when the Modified Note shall have
been paid in full; provided, however, that if at such time there shall be due
from Pledgor under this Pledge additional charges which theretofore arose as a
result of the default under any of the aforesaid instruments then Pledgee shall
not release the Pledged TradeArk Interest to the Pledgor until such additional
charges shall have been paid in full; and the Pledgee shall deliver to the
Pledgor the TradeArk Interest pledged under this Pledge and Pledgee shall
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Pledgor such
instruments as may be necessary to cancel this Pledge, and revest the Pledged
