The Company has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May    , 2005 (as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Pledgees provide or will provide certain financial accommodations to the Company.

In order to induce the Pledgees to provide or continue to provide the financial accommodations described in the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Pledgor has agreed to pledge and grant a security interest in the collateral described herein to the Pledgees 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 Securities Purchase 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 “Indebtedness”) (a) the obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements, as each may be amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, collectively, the “Documents”) and (b) all other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of each Pledgor to the Pledgees 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 Indebtedness, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Indebtedness 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 Indebtedness in any case commenced by or against any Pledgor under ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of each Pledgor for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Indebtedness but for the commencement of such case), each Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and grants a security interest to the Pledgees in all of the following (the “Collateral”):

(a)                                  the shares of stock 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 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.

4.                                       Representations and Warranties of each Pledgor.  Each Pledgor jointly and severally represents and warrants to the Pledgees (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to continue to be made until all of the Indebtedness has 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 material violation of any material agreement, indenture, instrument, license, judgment, decree, order, law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule or regulation applicable to any Pledgor;

(b)                                 comply with any of the provisions of this Stock Pledge Agreement to the extent that compliance with this Stock Pledge Agreement would breach any of the laws of England and Wales.

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

(a)                                  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 expense, defend the Pledgees’ right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any other party.

(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.

7.                                       Voting Rights and Dividends.  In addition to the Pledgees’ 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 Pledgees 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 Pledgees, 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 Pledgees, 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) 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

4

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 Pledgees to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgees, be segregated from the other property or funds of any other Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Pledgees as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

8.                                       Event of Default.  An Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred and may be declared by the Pledgees 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 agreement between any Pledgor and the Pledgees, including, without limitation, this Agreement, and such default shall not be cured for a period of fifteen (15) days after the occurrence thereof;

(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 levy of execution, attachment, or other judicial process; or any portion of the Collateral is the subject of a claim (other than by the Pledgees) 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 sixty (60) 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.

9.                                       Remedies.  In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be declared by the Pledgees, the Pledgees may:

(a)                                  Transfer any or all of the Collateral into their name, or into the name of their 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

5

or options pertaining to any shares of the Collateral as if they were the absolute owners thereof, including, but without limitation, the right to exchange, at their 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 they may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by them; 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 Pledgees, 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 Pledgees in their 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 Pledgees 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 Pledgees hereunder whether upon sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or otherwise shall be held by the Pledgees and applied by them as provided in Section 10 hereof.  No failure or delay on the part of the Pledgees 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 Pledgees 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 Pledgees may exercise their rights with respect to property held hereunder without resort to other security for or sources of reimbursement for the Indebtedness.  In addition to the foregoing, the Pledgees shall have all of the rights, remedies and privileges of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of New York regardless of the jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought.

10.                                 Private Sale.  Each Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgees 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 permitted if otherwise made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Each Pledgor agrees that the Pledgees have 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.

6

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

(a)                                  First, to the payment of all costs, reasonable expenses and charges of the Pledgees and to the reimbursement of the Pledgees 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), the expenses of any taking, attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses, court costs, any other fees or expenses incurred or expenditures or advances made by the Pledgees in the protection, enforcement or exercise of their rights, powers or remedies hereunder;

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

(c)                                  Third, to such persons, firms, corporations or other entities as required by applicable law including, without limitation, Section 9-504(1)(c) 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 Indebtedness, each Pledgor shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency plus the reasonable costs and fees of any attorneys employed by the Pledgees to collect such deficiency.

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

13.                                 No Waiver.  Any and all of the Pledgees’ rights with respect to the Liens granted under this Agreement shall continue unimpaired, and each 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 Pledgees in reference to any of the Indebtedness.  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 Pledgees in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no failure by the Pledgees to give notice or make demand, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice the Pledgees’ right to take any action against any Pledgor or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.

14.                                 Expenses.  The Collateral shall secure, and each Pledgor shall pay to the Pledgees 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

7

collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of the Pledgees under this Agreement or with respect to any of the Indebtedness.

15.                                 The Pledgees Appointed Attorney-In-Fact and Performance by the Pledgees.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Pledgees 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 Pledgees 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 Pledgees’ 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 Pledgees may themselves perform or cause performance thereof, and any costs and expenses of the Pledgees incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Pledgors as provided in Section 10 hereof.

16.                                 Waivers.

(a)                                  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED BY THEM IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

17.                                 Recapture.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Pledgees receive any payment or payments on account of the Indebtedness, which payment or payments or any part thereof are 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 the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not finally retained by the Pledgees, each Pledgor’s obligations to the Pledgees shall be reinstated and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to the Pledgees, which payment shall be due on demand.
